Unknown Speaker 0:00 Hey man, what? What's up? Hey, man, thank you. Tim Stone 0:08 Have you ever heard of the Black Knight satellite? Speaker 1 0:13 No, no. Black Knight satellite? Yeah. Yes. They mentioned it in The Fairly OddParents theme song. gray goo Sokolova was Black Knight satellite Unknown Speaker 0:30 Yeah, that was pretty good right there. Tim Stone 0:32 I'm pretty impressed at how well that fits. No, it's not from that from something entirely different. Honestly. It could be in there. Sure, Speaker 1 0:38 but it isn't there. I don't think that's where I know from I think it's Grey Goose Tim Stone 0:42 is what you're thinking of. Unknown Speaker 0:44 No, Greg Tim Stone 0:45 is not a goose is in it. Grey Unknown Speaker 0:48 Goose is not. Tim Stone 0:52 I said that as an adult. I'm like, why was that it there? Speaker 1 0:55 Gray moose. Right. Green mousse. Green mousse Java juice. Shoot. I can't think of it's not Grey Goose. The Grey Goose is mentioned in Royals by Yeah, but by that girl from the ring. Tim Stone 1:12 I don't care about that. Oh, okay. Here it is. Here it is. OB tooth rubber goose green is guava juice. Unknown Speaker 1:19 Black Knight satellite. Tim Stone 1:21 It's close. giant snake birthday cake. large fries. chocolate shake. It's interesting. Cake. Unknown Speaker 1:26 Birth. Birthday cake. Tim Stone 1:28 giant snake birthday cake large Unknown Speaker 1:30 Black Knight satellite. Tim Stone 1:32 It's interesting to me. Because this is there's not another verse in the song. That is even remotely close Speaker 1 1:39 goes it goes. giant snake birthday cake. Black Knight satellite, we didn't start the fire. It's all the same. I Tim Stone 1:48 just respect that. This was very clearly he needed another verse. And was just like, Ah, Speaker 1 1:54 well, yeah, I mean, the whole song was that the fairies can make anything appear. Tim Stone 2:00 Oh, I guess that's true. And so he's giving him so he's like, Speaker 1 2:03 trying to make birthday cake. Large fry chocolate shake, Tim Stone 2:06 but but the first line obtuse? Why does he What is What does he mean getting an obtuse triangle? Like what is the Speaker 1 2:13 rest of its obtuse? Robert Q's obtuse? Roger goose? Tim Stone 2:18 No. Obtuse comma. Robert. That's a separate thing. Unknown Speaker 2:21 No, no, it shouldn't be but it is. What does it rubber use? A large rubber tooth does Tim Stone 2:28 not mean large. Urban Dictionary Speaker 1 2:34 how would you go Urban Dictionary? Why do you need to see what the kids say? What it is? Tim Stone 2:42 Oh, interesting. Unknown Speaker 2:44 What is Urban Dictionary say that it Tim Stone 2:46 is a lot I just didn't know what dictionary. So obtuse what I was thinking of is Speaker 1 2:51 the obtuse angle but yeah, the angle which is the what angle Tim is Tim Stone 2:55 between 90 and 180 which would be a Speaker 1 3:00 would you categorize that as like a large angle? I mean, I guess it's a wide angle there's a right angle. Yeah, and there's a cute Unknown Speaker 3:07 Yes. An Unknown Speaker 3:09 obtuse angle and then obtuse I Tim Stone 3:11 guess it's a wide angle you're right. I guess it's a wider angle but I that I've never heard someone use it that way. Anyways, the other one is once you are is annoyingly insensitive and slow to understand Unknown Speaker 3:26 just really wanted to take that shot today or Tim Stone 3:28 yeah, you're really coming off like an obtuse rubber goose right now Unknown Speaker 3:36 all right. Tim Stone 3:42 Got to point it out. Okay, let me tell you a weird question. No, I will not let you What is the theme song? It should have no I got a weird question for you Do it now. Use rubber goose green mousse cake large fries shot but shake by that time. I love that all fit perfectly Speaker 1 4:14 blurred last night. It's a show that gives you a fright. It's things I learned last night by the Unknown Speaker 4:23 things I learned last night Tim Stone 4:33 I don't think I'd make it as a cartoon person Speaker 1 4:43 Okay, so the Black Knight satellite. Tim Stone 4:47 Oh no. So this is my mind. What is it? What's up when you meet someone new and like your house for the first time? Speaker 1 4:55 We're both married. So it's not No not like that? No, like we know just like Make someone new just like a regular person you meet somebody new Tim Stone 5:03 obviously not a woman just a regular person Unknown Speaker 5:29 Okay, so I don't think you had to say it like that though. Speaker 1 5:39 You make a new friend. Yeah. You go to their house for the first time. Okay. Tim Stone 5:45 Do you look through other stuff I feel like I'm feeling like it's like a bad thing that you should Speaker 1 6:01 do. Did you sue my house 100% Tim Stone 6:05 I snooped your apartment I snooped your apartment in Springfield I snooped your dorm room, I stopped your parents house and I'm just like, What? Are these cabinets? Speaker 1 6:15 Okay, so I think there's levels of snooping that I would like to clarify so if you go to someone's house yeah bathroom fair game whatever you want to lock in the door people don't care how long you're in there. Yeah, they care Tim Stone 6:36 there's a point Speaker 1 6:38 where they start to care Yeah, they go there for a minute Yeah, now you're saying that you Snoop gas your bedroom I don't even go in people's master bedrooms. Yeah, Tim Stone 6:50 typically I won't now Tim Stone 6:59 know when I was young I would I learned Speaker 1 7:05 the way you're saying stuff is so bad when I was younger I do. Yeah. I now that I'm older I don't go in master bedrooms anymore. Tim Stone 7:15 Yeah. Unknown Speaker 7:18 But when I was a kid, there was just some curiosity Tim Stone 7:20 that I can't like I'm like What do you got those chores man Unknown Speaker 7:25 you don't hear Speaker 1 7:28 you don't hear that at all. What do you got in those drawers? And you Unknown Speaker 7:40 know weird thing I've just gotten them Tim Stone 7:43 there like it's not a weird thing about it though. Like I'm not gonna do anything Tim Stone 8:00 I know it's I know people aren't like it's problematic. I know. I know that. Drawers is paying I know that Speaker 1 8:10 problematic to go around being like what you got in them drawers? Sure. Tim Stone 8:21 Like I'm just curious Speaker 1 8:25 just curiosity. We're not stupid anymore. Tim Stone 8:31 I know what you say I go you ever do that? Tim Stone 8:46 Oh my gosh. I saw knives before like in droves. Unknown Speaker 8:55 about things that aren't the black Speaker 1 9:00 I only want you to talk about the Black Knight satellite. I don't want to hear anything else from you right now. Tim Stone 9:07 So Black Knight satellite is we'll start with a picture of it. Here's the Black Knight satellite theoretically I Unknown Speaker 9:13 told you what I found in my grandma's drawers Tim Stone 9:27 No, I don't remember that. Okay, Unknown Speaker 9:28 there was a lot of drug paraphernalia. Tim Stone 9:35 See, sometimes it's good to know Yeah. Black Knights and the Black Knight satellite This is it. This is a photograph of it from the space station. I hold on this was during the construction of Space Station. Yeah. Unknown Speaker 9:51 What is this like? Is this like a or do people own this? Tim Stone 9:59 Are you asking This is an alien thing. Yeah, it might be an alien thing. Unknown Speaker 10:02 Okay? Do people own the whatever Tim Stone 10:04 we're doing? Nobody owns this forever. No, Speaker 1 10:07 no, no, it looks like if you took a leather jacket off of the hanger, and it just held it by the collar of the jacket, and you're just like that's straight up the bat. That's a great. That's a great visualization, what this thing looks like that is a ribbon. Just put that on a blue background, because you know, they're in space. I don't think they went. And so Tim Stone 10:34 you know, here's another angle of it. That one's a little grainy a praying mantis, another photo scheme. And then here's another angle of it from the History Channel. That's Unknown Speaker 10:48 okay. So Tim Stone 10:51 here's, here's the concept, this satellite, this this photograph. And really all these photographs were taken at one time, they're just different moments along its flight path was taken from a spacewalk during the construction of the International Space Station, which they were assembling up in space. Sure, and then got his DSLR out, took a photo of the satellite as it floated by this image has since been declassified, but a good description of what it is hasn't been given to us and so it's become known as the Black Light satellite. Okay, UFO lore. And oh, Speaker 1 11:29 shoot, dude. What the UFO people are gonna find this and we did a whole thing about how you're, you're doing it in green? Unknown Speaker 11:40 Dang it, dude. Unknown Speaker 11:42 How's it every time? Tim Stone 11:45 Every episode, bro, it's, Speaker 1 11:46 you know, that's gonna happen. You know what the topic is? Yeah, Tim Stone 11:50 maybe this is like a self conscious. Maybe some conscious self sabotage. Speaker 1 11:55 Maybe you do this? Maybe I do. Because it's like some kind of punishment you like the negative comments that we get on YouTube? Tim Stone 12:01 I do like it. Yeah, see people? I'm not gonna lie. I don't know. I see people like online that talk about like negative comments like bothering them. And I've never like weekends, we'd get some Speaker 1 12:14 yet and they're usually pointed at me, man. I know. There's UFO ones are like if the guy on the right would shut up. The guy that left trying to tell the story and the guy that rice was making jokes all the time. I can't imagine that that doesn't bother you. That's crazy. No shade. You can just read that you go I read that letter brush right off my shoulder. I was like, Man, these people are my friends and my fans. I can't believe that people don't like the things people say about them on the internet. Tim Stone 12:42 That's thrown me two more of those are definitely directed at you. Yeah. I've never had a problem with it. It doesn't bother me. But I definitely do have like a for Speaker 1 12:51 now. You didn't like that. Have you been like that same pick a Tim account that existed? Tim Stone 12:55 No, I I didn't have any issues with that. You didn't like it like that? I didn't know who it was. Yeah, but I didn't mind and you were like, What the frick is this? Yeah, I wanted to know, I was the mystery of it. I was like, I was like, I don't need to know. Yeah, Unknown Speaker 13:09 it was a fun little mystery. I was like, He's gonna get caught anytime. Tim Stone 13:13 Yeah. Yeah, that's how criminals feel. You know? Yeah. Speaker 1 13:22 Hey, thanks for listening to this episode. If you like our show, please leave a review. Leave a comment if you're watching on YouTube and go check out other episodes. Here's one of them. I hate the Lonnie Zamora incident. You know me just not a big fan of the alien episodes. But if that's your jam, that's out there. So go check that out just for fun episode. I think you'd like it. I hated it. So anyway, back to this episode. Tim Stone 13:50 Anyways, the Black Knight satellite it all started with Nikola Tesla. Unknown Speaker 13:56 Okay. Tim Stone 13:58 It really does. The story goes back to Nikola Tesla. He was in 1899, conducting some experiments with radio signals. He wanted to see what radios did. And so he was playing around with the signals and stuff like that. Kinda pretty accurate, actually. And he received what? Something that nobody knew about yet, including him until he received a signal that he said okay, either this is from this radio signal came from the upper atmosphere, it came from outer space. And he was shocked to have received this obviously, because no radio signals could exist without human hands, manipulating them and so receive a radio signal from space. And so he reported this and the scientific community at this time, the scientific community had issues with Nikola Tesla. They were like he's a little crazy. Yeah. But every once in a while he says stuff that like should pay attention to what he says right? But like we don't like him, Speaker 1 14:58 and why didn't they like him? Do you know your About because he was crazy. Oh, there's like he's a weird guy. Tim Stone 15:02 Yeah, he had some theories about. So without going too far into it, he had some kind of, like the vibrations like, you know, there's people who are like the vibrations of the universe, you can connect to the vibrations of the universe, and I'll tell you everything about everything. He was kind of one of those guys. And so he he believed if you could connect to those vibrations, you could understand everything. He's one of those guys so you could also Yeah, but he also thought that you could get energy from it. And so he was trying to like that Tesla he would have Speaker 1 15:30 like dreads and be living in a van. Yeah, in this world right now. Yeah. Tim Stone 15:34 Well, I don't know because big spoons with his mind I don't know if he would be doing that because he was he was at least smart enough to figure out how to get funding so he got people his projects you could build he had the tesla coil in Colorado Springs. And he was building these these like, really intuitive energy sources that were working and I think that was the bigger thing is he was kind of challenging the status quo and threatening Yeah, established energy industry. But it was also kind of cuckoo at the same time, it was very much a bad sign Sure. Anyways, years later, we will realize we would figure out the radio signals that he was capturing were pulsars. You know what those are? Yeah, yeah. Which I just a note for the astronomical community. Renamed pulsars and the pulse stars Speaker 1 16:32 pay now these are polar stars. We used to call them pulsars. Hey, now now there are polar stars that we can't do anymore. Vegas Tim Stone 16:48 is not such as a love. Speaker 1 16:53 Okay. I made a joke about Lord earlier with her royal song and I called her the girl from the ring and you just didn't even I said it's a song with the girl for the ring. And you just Tim Stone 17:11 ah Tim Stone 17:17 I like that. I totally missed that. So anyways, so a lot of people are like, oh, yeah, these were pulsars that he was sure. Maybe not. Will come maybe Speaker 1 17:28 what channel wasn't on 100.5 93.3 He just dials in because hey, we're back with the K love pledge drive. It's going on for a millennium. You can just donate whenever you can just go ahead and open your little open your little wiggly phone and call up there. And Tim Stone 17:53 you're saying this is the aliens Caleb? Yeah, this is not earth Caleb traveling time. No, I thought it was alien. K I'm traveling Caleb. Yeah, this is Alien. Caleb. Yikes. Unknown Speaker 18:05 Positive encouraging. Definitely real Tim Stone 18:08 positive, encouraging Beaubourg? Tim Stone 18:19 Maybe pulsars, maybe something else? I'll tell you in a minute. It's okay. Spoiler pilot Black Knight satellite. And then there was a guy named Juergen halls. He was an amateur radio operator, who was experimenting with radio signals as well. Yeah. And noticed he could get radio signals to echo back at him if he shot them into the atmosphere. But what was interesting is you would expect that if you were echoing off of something, it would be obvious like intervals like that was bouncing back at something the same interval, but they were random. And so he was thinking these are getting repeated back to me not being echoed back to me. Sure. And so something's hearing this and they're sending the same tone back they're like mimicking me. It's like when you knock on a wall and your neighbor knocks on the wall back or the hat man. Speaker 1 19:10 They go chicken Unknown Speaker 19:21 meatballs. Okay, Tim Stone 19:23 cool. Well, Sam marinara. Oh my gosh, Ivan. Okay. So this is this is something that is a real scientific phenomena. Sure. He discovered it. This amateur discovered it and then science was like, Hey, let's look at that Unknown Speaker 19:37 science. Look, we discovered that science Tim Stone 19:38 was like That was alright. Yeah. Speaker 1 19:39 Okay. All right. I thought of that. First. Tim Stone 19:43 They named it long delayed echoes, or LDS. But here's what's interesting about it. They said you can send a radio signal signal anticipates and at random intervals that we can't trace down a pattern. It'll send it'll echo back, the same tone We'll get echoed back. But we have no idea why. Because it bounces off something. Yeah, so there's theories about why it happens. But we still have no idea what's going on. There's an Speaker 1 20:09 alien up there. There's just 20 is just the aliens like, fine like the guy. He's got to keep putting in the numbers cuz he's like, I don't know what's gonna happen if I don't? Yeah, yeah. All right. Quigley's are saved again. Tim Stone 20:30 We saved the quickly. Don't do that. The long delayed echoes, we don't know what those are. So sure, maybe Black Knight satellite. This is this will all come together in a minute. I've got to lay a lot of these Sure. Unknown Speaker 20:49 It'll come again. Sorry, I'll get to in bits. Okay. So Tim Stone 20:52 in 1954, there was an former Navy pilot, who went to newspapers and said, hey, the Air Force has been tracking these two satellites that have been orbiting Earth. We've been tracking them, we don't know where they're from, or who's they are. What's interesting, is we know now that nobody's successfully launched a satellite into orbit until 1957. So this is three years before any human hands got a satellite in space. Sputnik one was the first one. Okay. And so at the time, everybody was panicking. And they were like, Oh, the Soviets got a satellite up. They did it. And they've got it orbiting, and they beat us to it. And that's, he told newspapers and Speaker 3 21:30 the Soviets were like, we thought you did that you did. And then the aliens forget Unknown Speaker 21:36 some dude in Florida like I did it. Tim Stone 21:42 Space guy, just slingshot, slingshot. Yeah, it's pretty surprising how far you can get little stuff to go really far crazy. If it's long enough, they could go so far. Just gotta put a big enough rocket on it. Yeah, Unknown Speaker 21:57 you got to put an obtuse rocket. Tim Stone 22:02 Just such an annoying rocket, Unknown Speaker 22:03 would you keep going? We got a lot of groundwork. So Tim Stone 22:05 he spoke. He he's talking about this group in the government. Okay, after this whole event happened. And he called them the silence group. He was like, he's like, there's a group within the government that doesn't want you to know about these satellites. And he's like, they're not our satellites. Okay, not made by human hands. And they want to keep it silent. That's why they're called the Science Group. Okay, and so kind of honestly, like, the men and black. Sure, similar concept, you know. And then there was a guy named Duncan Lunan, who was a science fiction writer. And stay with me for a second he's a science fiction Oh is one of these guys is a science fiction writer who there was this, his Unknown Speaker 22:52 whole job is to make stuff up. That's like the job description Tim Stone 22:57 they would be they would be Speaker 1 23:00 Sergeant Winslow versus the Black Knights Tim Stone 23:09 in space, you tend not to just do what you'd call the try to steal Unknown Speaker 23:24 come with this fall. Tim Stone 23:26 So Duncan, there was a signal that was a relatively famous signal in the 70s that we received from space. Most likely a pulsar, but he took this signal and he studied it for years. Sure. And he solved it and transliterated into English. And said this is a map of the boaties star system which is a distant star system. And so the signal the tones were coordinates identifying the star system and he said they're trying to tell us that they come from this star system. What Yeah, which is interesting. Unknown Speaker 24:13 So we got the booties Tim Stone 24:18 here's what's interesting. We'll dive down this rabbit hole for a split second Sure. I wanted to cover this in an episode but I haven't had a reason until now. The bowtie system is a galaxy Alright, it's not a galaxy it's a star system within the boat is void. Okay is the largest void that we know about in like the observable so Speaker 1 24:41 those stars are in the middle. Yes, of this void of this Tim Stone 24:45 void. Well, what what what's interesting is is most most like subsections of space that you can kind of estimate like just the normal density of gas galaxies, like how many star systems you could expect to see in an area of space. This is an area that is nearly 330 million light years in dynamic diameter. There's a massive section of space. In a space this large, we would typically expect there to be roughly 2000 galaxies in this section of space. But obviously looking at it, you don't see that many. They estimate there's only 60 that sit within this void. Obviously, very strange, because you look around this, like the rest of the galaxy doesn't have sections of space that are this just open with nothing in it. They say that if Earth, our our star system was in the center of bodies void, we wouldn't know that there was another galaxy that existed until 1988. Because we won't have instruments that could perceive them. That's how giant this void is. Okay, it's absolutely bonkers. And so this is significant. Because if this signal is true, that their highlight whatever this signal was coming from an alien race, I was saying they were from this star system. Sure. Theoretically, that could explain. Bodie is void of why this is here? Because we don't know exactly. There's some pretty good theories. And I could tell you those in a second. But one of the theories is Dyson spheres. And if that's a Dyson spheres, vacuum. Now remember that episode, we talked about him? Not that vacuum? Unknown Speaker 26:36 Like who did it cover the vacuum? And speaking of the vacuum? One of our sponsors? Yes. Yeah. We talked about it in the Tim Stone 26:45 if you haven't heard the episode, there is a theoretical technology that is yes, that civilizations could create to harness energy from stars. And it's like a sphere that wraps in the garbage of scale. The Carter set sail. Yeah. Yeah. And so the Dyson Sphere wraps around the star and sucks the energy from the star, which would dim the star because it's sucking in insurance. And so if there was an alien race, that was Speaker 1 27:12 figured out how to harness the power of their stars, yeah, then they Tim Stone 27:16 would inevitably spread outwards. And just continue to build these Dyson spheres around stars, which is interesting, because you can kind of see the edges are dim, like they're not, it's like they're sucking the energy out of the stars, they haven't completely stamped them out yet. So it's an interesting concept, if that is what is actually happening there. Speaker 4 27:40 Hey, thanks for being part of this episode.

We're not like mad, but I'll find you. So text Tillandsia 66866 To keep yourself from being found. All right, because if you don't, I want you Tim Stone 28:27 The leading theory by most scientists right now about what happened to the boat is void is that it's kind of like if you like, pour some soap all over your countertop, never do this. Unknown Speaker 28:41 And it's gets to my friend's house. You know, used to buy soap Tim Stone 28:50 This guy needs just needs to get real free. Speaker 1 28:53 I met someone knew vitamin or invited him over to our house. And then he took our Dawn dish soap. And then just for a long time, it was like, I'm doing a booty Boyd. And you're like, Oh, it's a booty void. Tim Stone 29:14 Then, you know, when he was done, he said, Hey, look. We were like, No, Unknown Speaker 29:20 that's okay. He Tim Stone 29:22 made us come out there. And he showed us that gouter was just covered in DOD two Unknown Speaker 29:29 stars go damn Tim Stone 29:31 it. But the explanation is that if he pours himself at a counter, you kind of have those bubbles. Yeah. And if those bubbles come together, they merge. And so they said over millions of years, there were a bunch of voids and they've all just sort of merged together to create interesting, really big void. Speaker 1 29:47 So there's some kind of pressure or pocket. Yeah, this Tim Stone 29:51 and what's, what's interesting is you can't really see them super well. There's some dead ones that kind of start to move through the middle. There's kind of like almost like a lie. And then so the idea is that those are the bubbles kind of merging together still forcing those out. So, or aliens are taking the energy from the stars sure Speaker 1 30:09 why it is probably the second one? Yeah, it's probably that's Tim Stone 30:12 the most likely possibility. The reason why these are all connected, because people say, the theories are saying that the explanation for all these signals is it's coming from the Black Knight satellite. And sure, that's where we're hearing these radio signals from this is watching us over watching over us. And it's been here for a long time. And the reason why we know it's been here for a long time is because of that. That guy who translated it, translated it and it said, it's been here for 13,000 years. Geez. And the reason why he knows that is because the this map, the star map, this is the Unknown Speaker 30:48 science fiction writer, right? Yes. Tim Stone 30:52 So the star map, the star map, one of the planets on it is out of position when it should be. And so he went back in time, like, Unknown Speaker 31:01 he didn't go back in time, one of his characters, one of his characters went back in time through the record, Tim Stone 31:07 because obviously, like throughout time, stars move based on the wobble of the earth. And so he went Speaker 1 31:12 through based on the wobble, yeah, while baby wobble baby wobble baby Tim Stone 31:16 started the wrong spot. So the end went back to the record and where that planet lied in the system would be 13,000 years in the past. To the wall. These stars aren't where they go. There's a big old hole in space. That works. Hey, that. So this thing got, it's all up here. This thick guy Unknown Speaker 31:53 you hear this stuff that I go. That's okay. No, that one can stay or a different time. Tim Stone 31:59 So, so people are proponents of shaping Unknown Speaker 32:02 your beard. Tim Stone 32:04 I've always shaved my beard. Yeah, but you've been doing a good job Speaker 1 32:07 lately. You've been better at shaping and a little bit shaving whatever's on the cheeks here. Yeah. And then shaping it. It's just looks even Tim Stone 32:17 good. Just bringing it bringing it down a little bit. Good. Thank you. Speaker 1 32:21 The Black Knight satellite was needed for the other rest of it to grow in right there. Tim Stone 32:25 Now let's do this for you to cut out the rest of it. Anyway, the Black Knight satellite the people the performance of the Black Knight satellite say okay, this thing came here 13,000 years ago to monitor us and it's been watching us sending signals back to monitor in space sending signals back to the bodies void, just kind of watching us and what they're doing. Who knows? There's actually some interesting theories. Could be science could be military use cases. My favorite is we are basically like, this is their animal planet. Yeah, we're their reality TV. Unknown Speaker 33:01 Here his two creatures Tim Stone 33:04 just like that. Unknown Speaker 33:06 Recording what they call podcast Tim Stone 33:09 getting ready for the morning commute. So the this has been here for 30 Unknown Speaker 33:15 seconds because the Earth is only 6000 years old. A long time. And then one day I was like whoa Tim Stone 33:23 what is that? You guys aren't gonna believe this? Speaker 1 33:27 Can you imagine if aliens do come to earth pig and they get in touch with Ken Ham Yeah, I'm saying like that's Tim Stone 33:36 they they land on the White House lawn and the President is like you should talk to President Speaker 1 33:41 all the time is an idiot who goes You should talk to Dr. Ken Ham. And then they're forced to go talk to because you here's what happens is they're gonna believe the first story they're told. Yeah, all right. Yeah. And the first story they told is this is the real Ark. We found it we've turned to this museum. Yeah. Crazy. And Tim Stone 34:05 here's all the animals in it and then the satellite has been been watching over us for years and people have been allegedly citing this thing Sure. Both from the ground and from space ever since Unknown Speaker 34:16 I wake up in the middle of night and it's in my room Tim Stone 34:21 and it's telling me it's subway satellite, like like a landmass? Okay, here's the thing. So this is there's a lot of people who really really believe in the Black Knight satellite. This is a legitimate alien outpost or satellite that's watching us and reporting back to the moon is void. But here's the deal. This has this image has been declassified by NASA. They've declassified all of these images. What the black man satellite people just kind of brush over is the explanation that's come with these images. Unknown Speaker 34:55 Yeah, Tim Stone 34:57 she's what so these This is I think, a recreational Oh, that's Unknown Speaker 35:02 definitely not a real one. Tim Stone 35:04 This was a series of photographs that was taken during the construction, or the assembly of the space station. And what this was was a thermal blanket that was removed from some covering on a piece that they were assembling. And it just kind of started floating out into space. Okay, which is why it's kind of flipping around. And then every shot you see it, it looks totally different. And then this one looks Unknown Speaker 35:30 like fabric. So I was kind of right. You were Tim Stone 35:33 Yeah. But it's a thermal blanket. So somewhat reflective. Speaker 1 35:37 Well, what are we keeping the space station warm? Well, you got to keep the, you got to keep it covered like a Corvette and a carport. Now, well, you Tim Stone 35:44 got to keep the parts covered, because it's cold in space. You got to keep them covered. You got to keep them protected from the sun into the eyes, go out and get your glass on him until you get your gloss glossiness on. Yeah, so this was just this. This was just a thermal blanket that was dropped in space and it took a picture of NASA declassified it and when I was like NASA declassified an alien spaceship. That's Speaker 1 36:07 what I'm saying is that frickin just because it's classified all of a sudden, it's like all you're hiding this liquid now that we're there. Yeah, Tim Stone 36:13 it's classified because you can't talk. You can't, can't talk about blankets and talk about blank. The public kid is not ready to hear about this blanket. That's what the owner of the Snuggie said until he came out with it until he got a patent. And it was at the Speaker 1 36:26 public. And I'll tell you what, I saw the first commercial and my dad lost his job idea, Chris. It's a blanket with articles Tim Stone 36:41 is right. The public wasn't ready for that. They weren't ready for that kind of knowledge. And what's what's more interesting is that when this came out, this whole backstory was created, right? That connected Nikola Tesla and the youth that other UFO researcher and LTE is and all this other stuff that was not connected to Unknown Speaker 37:03 Nikola Yordan and Dunkin. Tim Stone 37:07 Yes, actually. Dunkin guapo Speaker 1 37:13 Well, I remember you're going because like, that's a name that should make a comeback. I don't. I'm Jared, this is my wife, Reagan. This is our beautiful kids. We've got New Orleans. Tim Stone 37:23 It's like it's a combination of your two names your Torrington, Unknown Speaker 37:27 Brittany and your Oregon. Tim Stone 37:31 Everyone would literally think that you were just trying to put your names Speaker 1 37:34 a bit lately, where I because I do about the kids name stuff. So I just been asking like, Are there any millennial parents in here and people go who I know your kids got stupid names. Everyone was like, Oh, no. What are they? Your kids have stupid names. And every mom goes, Oh, and then I go, I'll decide what are your kids names? And this girl? This lady goes, well, my eldest Kyle. And I said, Oh, I said, Okay, that's a normal name. But the worst he's not going to be at any old cause. And she goes, he's gonna die young. And I was like, No, you don't get to say. And then she goes, Yeah, my second is Frank. What was it? Kylie? No, it was like Asher. Oh, yeah. And I was like, you know? Tim Stone 38:27 I think that's just cool, because you can shorten it to ash and that is stupid. Okay. Unknown Speaker 38:33 Well, your name your kid Asher stone. Tim Stone 38:35 I don't think ash or stone flows? Well, Unknown Speaker 38:38 I don't think so either. I don't think any name flows. Well. You shouldn't have kids. Tim Stone 38:45 Thanks, appreciate that. Unknown Speaker 38:47 Stone doesn't flow. Well. That's why she hasn't changed her. She's just at the heart tell you Tim Stone 38:56 legally. Okay, but Duncan, here's the interesting thing. Duncan Lunan. The guy who translated the signal, Speaker 1 39:01 did it. He's a science fiction writer. Well, one. He's Tim Stone 39:05 a science fiction writer. But two, he didn't translate the signal. He's just doing the fictional art. So he translated a signal. Oh, he translated a signal and came out and wrote about it translate this signal. And it was like in the 90s or something. Everyone was like, this guy figured it out. And everyone's like, crazy. Couple years later, he's like, Yeah, I made that up. And then fiction. Yeah. And then Speaker 1 39:25 he's like, Guys, it's literally in my, you know, I was a young adult writer then. And now I've grown up. I realized that you guys didn't realize that was fiction. That Tim Stone 39:36 was fiction. That was fake. That's not real. He he the Black Knight satellite. People pick that up. And oh, he's talking about the Black Knight satellite. And he's like, I never said that. And he's like, also, is it also the one that I was translating was like a signal that came from near the moon. And this was coming from near Earth orbit, the Black Knight satellites. It was like it's not the same thing. And it's like been very vocal. He's got a blog. been very vocal on his blog or check about the fact what's his blog called? It is called Speaker 1 40:11 Black Knight satellite get it? right.com I'm pretty Black Knight satellite get it right 100 Gig right call one 800 Dig right. Tim Stone 40:29 Yeah, he's he's like I never I never said it was that and he's like, You guys just decided it was that and so this is just the whole Black Knight satellite story is this hodgepodge of ideas that got mixed together and blended together to be like, Oh, that's the thing. It's not a thing. And here's the whole moral of the story. Here's why I'm bringing this whole thing up. Sure. Aliens are really helpful. Speaker 1 40:48 And when you make these stories where you're crying wolf Yeah, then people aren't going to believe us that we Tim Stone 40:54 when we do things like the Skinwalker Ranch we do things like Black Knight satellite. It makes you look crazy. There's legitimate stuff out there. We don't have to go. Yeah, all these wires to this weird connection. So Speaker 1 41:07 you're trying to you're trying to appeal to the alien audience to say stop rational. Yeah, Tim Stone 41:15 I waited until the end of this episode where none of them made it to the No, it just bothers me man. It bothers me that we have something that is as legitimate as aliens are. That is so publicly illegitimate because of crap like this. It drives me It drives me nuts. It drives me nuts. Just like math. And all these people who stuck to it this pivot there's a lot of people give bath a bath me. Speaker 1 41:44 As an interviewer, what I've learned is that if you just let your guests talk, if you just sit there silently, they'll say some insane stuff. Because aliens are real. And like a lot of people give them a bad rap dude. Just like common core math. Speaker 1 42:09 This derail is so fast at the end, let's get it back on track and get us into the federal office.

I would like you to take a step back sorry Tim Stone 0:29 I'll come down Unknown Speaker 0:30 blueberry cantina Tim Stone 0:31 I scared yet yeah. Unknown Speaker 0:32 What are we talking about Tim Stone 0:34 that man over Speaker 2 0:42 Okay, so you're saying the hat man not the hat man. Oh, thanks. I'm glad you brought it up so my head is abnormally large and I have to custom order hats from this website called odd job hats.com slashed Hill Tim Stone 1:05 Do we have a love clip so that to send to him yet? Speaker 2 1:08 I know we got to keep doing this for like 15 years and then we can be the hey this joke outlasted you're gonna say they'll be long gone Tim Stone 1:18 by the time maybe not alright, this is gonna be a surprisingly normal thing you're going to be disappointed and how not crazy this is. So I ended up naked in the lobbies a lot actually. Pretty much stands for like the proxy, a hydrogen or something like that. I don't know. Unknown Speaker 1:41 I'm trying to see that. It's like things I learned last night Unknown Speaker 1:54 that's why no one listens to our show. Tim Stone 1:56 Have you heard of him? No. Oh, so the Hanged Man is? Unknown Speaker 1:59 Is it the guy that's in my dreams? Tim Stone 2:02 Yeah. So you have heard of the hat man. Speaker 2 2:05 Well, I mean yeah, I guess is that what it is? Tim Stone 2:10 It Do you have any new dreams to fedora? Is this a real? Is this a real thing? Speaker 2 2:13 Yes. The record the recurring dream that I have. Oh, well he says it's finished. Yes guy has a hat he's got he's dressed like a mobster. Tim Stone 2:19 Does he looks like this Speaker 2 2:25 bra my joke this when I tell you the shiver that just came over my whole body I don't I look legit don't want to do this. Tim Stone 2:36 We got a vote. I made that I had someone design that for this moment. We're not talking about that, man. This is a little bit was that your Halloween prank? No, no, this is really the subject but I wish I would have thought ahead that much to joke joke you like are we really talking about the heavy? Yeah, we're really talking about the Hanged Man. That's a real real thing. Someone else designed to this is off the screen. Okay, sorry. Speaker 2 3:02 I knew I like legitimately I am not a fan right now. And I want to get to the story. Okay, so that I can be a little less afraid. Well. Probably gonna be more of what you just did was like Mike was like your counselor going this man? That's I mean, Tim Stone 3:21 let's hit this. Speaker 2 3:25 Bro. I don't know if you can I don't think it'll show up on camera. If you're able to zoom in and see literally the moment that my my whole body like hair stands up. I don't like this. Tim Stone 3:36 Okay. Wow, this is this is great. I'm so excited. never really listened to Yeah, well, I'm looking forward to it. Because this is something that's been around for a long time. Unknown Speaker 3:46 I'm having a panic attack right now. Tim Stone 3:48 Yeah, interest, interestingly enough it and I don't know if I have conclusive proof of this. But it seems like the experiences of the Hackman are typically in our age range somewhere born between like, the 80s and 90s. Okay, was is what it seems like. But that man is honestly very similar to your experience. Yeah, cool. See the hat man, typically in dreams, okay. It's a why it's kind of like this man type of thing. It's like have you seen this? Or you're right. I've never seen this have you all the way a lot of people see him in the in their dream. Speaker 2 4:32 I swear to him if we get to the end of this episode, and you go I made all this up just to scare you. i I'm gonna be the Hanged Man in your room, dude. Man. I am like on the verge of tears right now. Tim Stone 4:48 People see them in their dreams. But a lot of people see him not just in dreams. They see him in real life. Speaker 2 4:54 I'm glad he's stuck in my dreams. That's a good yeah. I enjoy it. When I wake up, I'm like, I beat you. I bet you Yeah, for Tim Stone 5:04 some people he's not. Here, I'll give a description. I'll give a description for our listeners. So the idea of the Hanged Man is that there's a situation that happens to a lot of people where they'll, either in a dream or typically late at night, they'll see a man standing, usually in a doorway, but maybe in a corner or some other portion of their room. Just kind of observing them typically described as a malevolent presence. Not really usually doesn't say anything to people just sort of watches them and people stare at them. And then for a couple of minutes, it doesn't move. Like maybe it's a shadow and my mind is playing tricks on me. And then it just like walks out of the room and like shuts the door, something like that. Some people the hat man will speak to them. Yeah, I will say eerie, strange things stuff. Something like it is finished finished. Very short sentences are like don't go to this specific place. Or Speaker 2 6:06 mine started reciting the subway sandwich menu to me one time woke up and it was like meatball marinara, tuna rotisserie. Calm. I was like, Tim Stone 6:22 What do you say your Speaker 2 6:23 first Italian BMT and I was like, What is happens? I Tim Stone 6:27 mean, he's really long. Unknown Speaker 6:31 There's a the subway club. They're different. Buffalo Chicken, Tim Stone 6:37 the all new subway pizza, Speaker 2 6:38 spicy Italian. My wife comes to me. And she says this is real. She comes to me last week. And she goes, I made up a sandwich at Subway. And I said, Really? She goes yeah, it's just pepperoni and salami. Oh, the spicy she was no I made that up. I said you didn't like on the board? Oh, I made up a sandwich. I really want to get I got Bacon Lettuce and Tomato Tim Stone 7:04 Sandwich would you get it's like a horn. But it's like round and like really little. Speaker 2 7:10 I was trying to get you said that at a concert. Where you're just like watching a band play and you go, you lean over and you go Tim Stone 7:22 I got an idea Unknown Speaker 7:32 like I just made that up. Tim Stone 7:39 It was my idea. He's already got it. Okay, now you don't understand what I think of subs they appear. Speaker 2 7:47 So he's saying stuff that's like short sentences. Maybe not saying anything? Yeah, Tim Stone 7:51 usually pretty cryptic. Usually sometimes like a warning. Speaker 2 7:55 Is there an explanation for why this is happening at the end? Kinda some theories, Tim Stone 8:00 theories, right theories. We got a lot of theories, actually. Unknown Speaker 8:02 My idea is that he's real. Tim Stone 8:04 Freaking might be Unknown Speaker 8:07 happy Halloween. Tim Stone 8:08 Yeah. And so he shows up in people's dreams. What's interesting is once people see him once they usually start seeing them a lot. Jaron Myers 8:16 I hate this. I want to stop. You're making this up. Tim Stone 8:21 I'm 100% serious. Once people see once they usually start seeing some sort of regularity. And Unknown Speaker 8:29 golly, man, I'm sweating. Tim Stone 8:32 I mean, it is kind of hot in here. Okay. And it also might be that Unknown Speaker 8:40 okay, so he shows up multiple, Tim Stone 8:42 multiple times throughout the throughout people's lives. And on rare occasions, there's some like rare outlier occasions where he'll show up with a posse like this, like there he is with a couple of friends. Speaker 2 9:01 Okay, straight up, though. I'm not joking. I mean, mobster, right? Yeah. Because you can't see his face. Yeah, the guy in my dream has like what I would describe as like a ballgame work face where it's Tim Stone 9:12 just like, yeah, that's the thing the face that is described as you can see the eyes typically they're like glowing eyes can't see like, make out features. No mouth. Oh, yeah, that's what's described. Unknown Speaker 9:24 I don't like that. I'm part of this. I Tim Stone 9:28 want to be honest, when I started researching this, the other night didn't make that connection. I did not make the connection that this is the same thing that you experienced. I didn't make the connection. We talked about it in the Slenderman episode. Yeah, way long ago that my brother used to talk about the man with no nose. And I'm like, I wonder if it was Slenderman or if it was the hat man that I need to I need to call him and ask him if it was if the guy had a hat. Hey, Speaker 2 9:46 the guy you were that traumatic experience you had as a child when you woke up and you felt like you saw sort of your room. Oh, I actually had forgotten about it till you just brought it up. Coco Coco TD and would you say that was a normal size hat or Like a large hack, Tim Stone 10:00 like Did he have a big enough head where Unknown Speaker 10:04 the guy is just like job Tim Stone 10:11 hey, like what if we say enough in this episode that I can pretty much guarantee Unknown Speaker 10:23 that's not the promo they wanted. Tim Stone 10:26 Hey, but if it sells Speaker 2 10:30 okay, but you see I'm saying like it's a very mob looking like multiple shadow figures. Yeah. Did we talk about this? Like I think that you know of course people believed in ghosts because I got candlelight. Tim Stone 10:42 Yeah. About that and Speaker 2 10:44 if you go to like a candlelight dinner or the power goes out and you see the Yeah, the stuff flicker on the walls. You're like, Yeah, Tim Stone 10:51 we were talking about that in Orlando because Brady and I went to Disney we did the Haunted Mansion, right? Yeah. Room where it's all candlelight. And I was like, Well, no doubt people believe. Speaker 2 11:00 Shadows. Yeah, I mean, of course, people believe in ghosts. Yeah. Tim Stone 11:03 Cuz you got the shadow light, or the candlelight. And then yeah, they flicker in the shadows just move around. And you're like, Oh, that's a person. That's yeah, it makes perfect sense. Unknown Speaker 11:14 Honestly, with the lights on, Tim Stone 11:15 but so they would say that this guy was clearly the leader that whenever he showed up with a posse, the hat man was clearly the one in charge. And you could tell because of his hat. Speaker 2 11:26 And he brought Vin Diesel and the rock was to clearly bald guys. Tim Stone 11:34 So for a long time, this was kind of where it ended. Like it was like people would have these dreams or these kind of waking nightmare type experiences. Where they would see the hat man. But then something interesting happened around 2016 I don't know if you've heard of this, the Benadryl challenge happened. Do you know what that is? Unknown Speaker 11:54 Is that when you territory take a Benadryl and try to stay awake? Tim Stone 11:57 Well, so this some people learned that Benadryl the like active ingredient and Benadryl it Unknown Speaker 12:04 is meth is Tim Stone 12:07 is dp H, which stands for like the proxy per hydrogen or something like that on our Unknown Speaker 12:20 proxy Tim Stone 12:26 Okay, I have no idea Speaker 2 12:31 that you went for it. I hate that you're like the proxy, which honestly would have covered the PE you didn't have to proxy covered. Didn't have to try to include it in the hydrogen. Also, there's a p at the front, it's pronounced fighter. cheats. Hydrogen, cheese. Okay. What is TP? What is DPH? Do, Tim Stone 13:08 ma'am. So it's a deliriant. So okay. Benadryl is obviously Speaker 2 13:16 an allergy thing where you try to take it you just tried to push through the sleepiness? No. So it's because people have done that with Nyquil. People say you get like real messed up if you take a NyQuil and then you just push through it. Don't let it let you fall asleep. I can't Tim Stone 13:28 imagine taking like a normal dose of NyQuil and being able to sit down Speaker 2 13:34 to power through that is crazy amount of well, I know and they say the other side is free. We try it. No, no. Tim Stone 13:44 That is insane. I can't Okay, anyway, maybe we should Speaker 2 13:47 but only like we'll put two bills on the table and only one was a Nyquil. The other one's a placebo and Tim Stone 13:52 the other person just here's the thing I fall for placebos. Unknown Speaker 13:57 The other one is just a proxy for hydrogen. Tim Stone 14:05 So, so there's potential challenge. Obviously, normally, the normal dose for this is like 50 milligrams, and that's just for like, normal. Like, I got an allergy or like, oh, Speaker 2 14:15 right into my allergy pills. Yeah, that type of type of stuff. That was me realizing I didn't do my allergy, like, Tim Stone 14:21 I'll guess. But when you start pushing that dosage up three 400 milligrams, it starts to make you hallucinate because Speaker 2 14:31 believe it Yeah, it's crazy. When you start taking medication and nine times where you're supposed to does some pretty crazy stuff. File the baby every doctor on the planet could tell you that. Well turns out if you take more than the doctor tells you to stuff happens Tim Stone 14:47 while a bunch of teenagers realized oh, hey, I can trip really hard on Benadryl and that's an over the counter drug. Yeah, it's it's super easy to get their hands on it. Speaker 2 14:56 mushroom pizza, ate all the mushrooms and they were like, I think I feel It Unknown Speaker 15:08 is having an allergic reaction they're literally dying Tim Stone 15:16 so high right now DPH wavy Yeah, I love pot Mushrooms, mushrooms. But the this was an overview of the drugs was really easy for them to trip. Sure. And so they kind of got a bunch of teens are getting into it. And as they started using, they started Unknown Speaker 15:41 calling, drilled for sure Speaker 2 15:49 hey, thanks for listening to this episode. If you like our show, please leave a review. Leave a comment if you're watching on YouTube and go check out other episodes. Here's one of them. I hate the Lonnie Zamora incident you know me just not a big fan of the alien episodes. But if that's your jam, that's out there. So go check that out. It's very fun episode. I think you'd like it. I hated it. So anyway, back to this episode Tim Stone 16:18 they started increasing their tolerance so their dosages had to go up to be able to start to trip. Well, what was interesting is speaking of Speaker 2 16:27 tolerance. What I was just thinking if you take that much Benadryl every day, the experience is not the same. Yeah, you know, yeah, that's what I keep thinking about. Like, I drink like freakin 800 milligrams of caffeine every day. Tim Stone 16:44 Oh, I wonder if caffeine makes you see that man too. Speaker 2 16:48 Bro. I'm not joking when I'm like, I will do whatever it takes and ever see that guy again? Well, also whatever it takes a diversity you for doing this. Tim Stone 17:01 So when a decent size of the population that was doing the DPH the Benadryl challenge. They were there was a population of them on on Reddit, there's a group on Reddit that Speaker 2 17:14 was wondering where this this seems like the tide potters? Tim Stone 17:17 Yeah, a very similar concept. So they're on Reddit. They're kind of and they would kind of every after every experience, they would do a almost like a blog on Reddit about what they experienced on their trip. Unknown Speaker 17:31 Today is Thursday. Tim Stone 17:35 Also known as national Thursday, also Speaker 2 17:37 known as Yeah, now you know, what are tick tock? That's a super nice joke. But Tim Stone 17:46 so they would kind of blog everything that that was happening on Reddit. And as Speaker 2 17:49 Yeah, you got to scroll through all the backstory before you get to the recipe of Benadryl. You know, oh, my Tim Stone 17:54 gosh, I can't stand that. Are you referencing my tweet today? No, Speaker 2 17:58 I'm referencing just, you know, recipes in general. Trust me, because you tweet about it today. Tim Stone 18:04 I tweeted at Google today and told them to blacklist sites that do that Google's fault is it is no no, no, no, no, no, no. Google has the power to bury them in their algorithm. And they should because that's keyword stuffing is what they're doing. And that's against the rules on Google. And so they should not be allowed to be on the first page of keyword Speaker 2 18:20 stuffing is actually what I called my Thanksgiving this this year. It's funny you brought that up so the recipe comes from my grandma who she's also known as the hat man. Ridiculous. Tim Stone 18:38 So so when the dosages started approaching 600 milligrams, okay, more and more of these blogs on Reddit started Speaker 2 18:49 getting darker and also incoherent posts and you're like you're either sick or below ribs. Italian BMT and like Tim Stone 19:04 they're just writing this stuff the hat man. Speaker 2 19:09 Ha ha ha ha jah jah jah jah jah el el because you fell asleep Tim Stone 19:17 they're not doing it during the trip. They're doing like a post. Unknown Speaker 19:20 Yeah, but it was their whole goal for for sure. You think so? Tim Stone 19:24 I don't know. I've never done it. I don't know. Should we try? One of the other one gets a placebo. Unknown Speaker 19:32 Yeah, well gets a vitamin C. Tim Stone 19:34 That's the thing about it, though. To me, that stresses me out because one pill is 50 milligrams and so for them to be taken like Unknown Speaker 19:42 they're, they're taking like, a lot of comfortable Tim Stone 19:45 amount of pills. Anyways. And so they're kind of doing these little Speaker 2 19:50 low pay and take my pills was one either. Gonna dude today's is off. Tim Stone 19:55 They're doing their little blog and at 600 milligrams People started to notice that they keep referencing this dude with like a brimmed hat. That showing up in their hallucinations. Yeah, but before that, it's just like spiders and like basically Speaker 2 20:09 to be clear, it's not like not like it's more of a fedora mobster hat. It's not. So I cowboy hats not like the hats that girls wear to Nashville. Yeah, Nashville hat. It's not though not those. Yeah. It's not the I've never been spooked. It's not the bachelorettes around the corner and the hat man. Yeah, have been spooked by some ukiyo nerds though, because Whoa, there's a posse of them Tim Stone 20:49 so they started realizing that this was the hat man that was happening in a lot of people's dreams. Sure. And then a kind of subgroup of this Reddit was like, hey, like, let's figure out who he is. And so they would intentionally go on these trips and they would intentionally take Unknown Speaker 21:05 to be like, who are tell us your name? Tim Stone 21:09 What is What do you call yourself? And he said, Speaker 2 21:12 You're new here. I'm just used pastor would love to know your name man. Can Tim Stone 21:16 you fill out of this good Speaker 2 21:20 dude, it's so good to see Have you met my friend Tim Stone 21:28 sneaky as youth pastor flex Oh, no. All you gotta do is just felt this car drop it in the hat when? Tim Stone 21:43 Yeah, so they they kind of started chronicling, okay, hey, at 600 milligrams, you start to have a chance of seeing the hat man at 900 UCM every time and so they started a dosage where it was like, Okay, let's just keep moving this up to G and it became a Unknown Speaker 22:00 thing. Are they doing this on their own? By themselves? Tim Stone 22:03 Yeah, they're just kids on Reddit, the Reddit kids. Speaker 2 22:06 What do you do if you've come home and your kid is downing 18 Benadryl tablets? Because like those aren't those aren't easy to open. Yeah, he's got us he's young. Unknown Speaker 22:17 I mean, you gotta make a pile. Yeah. And then your kids just like like freaking m&ms You his hands it doesn't melt in his hand you know? It's just Speaker 2 22:32 and then freakin probably not with water though. They're probably downing him with Monster Energy Drinks probably. Monster an official sponsor. Tim Stone 22:45 Well, they started getting beamed out like here's here's the actual I think this is a T shirt so Speaker 2 22:49 can't take Benadryl because I owe the hat man money and I don't want to see him. Cheese. Tim Stone 22:56 But it started to get maimed out and became like a kind of a joke on Reddit. Sure, but kids were getting like legitimately addicted to Benadryl. Speaker 2 23:04 We know that I did not take 900 milligrams of Benadryl to see that man Tim Stone 23:10 no people do see him naturally. There are natural occurrences of the hot man and then there are these which are Unknown Speaker 23:16 artificial synthetic. Tim Stone 23:20 And so these kids, Speaker 2 23:21 I got an all daddy my hand knows all Patti and Hattie Natty. Natty. Here's the thing. Tim Stone 23:36 This community, he's after Speaker 2 23:39 me more than I'm after him. And that's kind of why the power dynamics. That's where the power dynamic shifts. Yeah, Tim Stone 23:44 yeah. That's interesting. That's an interesting that's actually a really interesting point that I haven't thought about because a lot of these Redditors are the only ones where they get like, positive stories of the hat, man. Speaker 2 23:54 I'm gonna turn on him. Where are you bro? I show up in history. We don't find you he wakes up still sleeps in the hat. So when he lays out a bed, it's like Tim Stone 24:10 he doesn't tilt that for it. He just Yeah, it's like kind of Unknown Speaker 24:13 detached to his head. I assume. He wakes up Tim Stone 24:18 his neck a train drill. From it's like he's like I got a kink in my neck. I gotta go to the chiropractor every morning. There we go. Are there at your odd job hat he doesn't even know what a baseball cap does his job come up to you get real close. whisper in his ear you say? I got an idea Speaker 2 24:41 for sandwich. six slices of pepperoni and six slices of salami, provolone cheese, toasted with spinach, green peppers and onions. Vinegar and oil, salt pepper. Tim Stone 24:58 I call it Spicy Italian Speaker 2 25:05 spicy Italian. He's like, I'll never come to your dream again. It was too late for that. You walk out at length now, Tim Stone 25:19 you immediately sprigs up it goes over to his laptop. And he says, Dear hat Reddit I saw him again Speaker 2 25:29 www.reddit.com I saw Jaron again they all know my name Tim Stone 25:38 they know your day. Yeah, they know everyone's name. Yeah, yeah. Cuz they're, you know, demons. So, this this group gets addicted. Yeah. And to both trying to see the hot man and the drug. And it becomes like a Speaker 2 25:53 Is that something you fight? You find your kid? Yeah, you come home your kids down in 18 Benadryl pills. Yeah. And you go, what are you doing? Yeah, well, hopefully not like that. You know? Like, like you. Tim Stone 26:06 Calm down. You go, Hey, Speaker 2 26:08 what are you doing? And they go, I'm trying to see, man. It's like we're gonna take you to the hospital fun little facility. And you might have to stay. It's like summer camp. You're gonna stay there for a little bit. No, you're not going to see your friends Tim Stone 26:25 call the guy in the white coat. Grandpa if it makes you feel bad. Unknown Speaker 26:30 If it makes you feel better doctors like Tim Stone 26:32 keeps call me grandpa. Yeah, I Speaker 2 26:34 told me. Oh, that's the only reason we're still doctors like Cathy's, like fully rigged. Like he's just been here for six months. And actually the first month he quit talking about the hat man, but he's been calling the grandpa and asked me to go home for the last five months. The dad's like now yeah, we gave him permission to call me grandpa. Like, yeah, and the doctor is like, easily 15 years younger than you are. Why is he calling me grandpa? Tim Stone 27:05 He just thought it was funny. Speaker 2 27:09 I just figured repay you? I don't know. The kid looks you in the eye and says I'm gonna see that hat man. You panic. Let's go to grandpa grandpa's house is over. He's gonna drill pills. To friggin pop it out. He's coughing Tim Stone 27:26 I want to see him. Oh my gosh, was probably a good time for disclaimer, don't do this. Speaker 2 27:33 Probably a great time for a Patreon ad. So you can join us on Patreon. Where we have a cold like we it's basically a Reddit just for us to discuss like, you. Tim Stone 27:45 I'm still thinking about I think I've said this in the discord the other day, but I'm still thinking about I listened to I don't know some episode where you mentioned the discord. And you call slack discord with slacks. Yeah. And I think that's the funniest thing in the world. I didn't laugh very hard in that episode. But you didn't really know if I laughed really hard. And I keep thinking about real Speaker 2 28:02 life. What he taught is that was happening outside of this retirement in real life. Tim Stone 28:09 Kind of a bubble here. Okay, this is the you know, okay, so the Benadryl Unknown Speaker 28:14 Okay, glad we're off of our 20 minute side rant, Tim Stone 28:16 the Benadryl people got really into this. Yeah. And it became a serious problem. So much so to where that's why if you buy Benadryl most stores now you need an ID. You have to be 18 or older to buy Benadryl now. Yeah, because it became like an issue. And I loosely mentioned it a second ago, but I do feel like we should say it's like a serious thing. Like people have died from OD on this stuff. And it? Speaker 2 28:42 Well, I'm glad you're telling me this after we did a whole 15 minute bit about frickin 18 pills in her mouth. I mean, it's a punk style. Tim Stone 28:51 But it does make people do. Yeah, really dumb stuff. And don't end it. And it's very addicting. So don't try it. Anyway, so the hat man happens on these drug hallucinations. happens on in dreams and in. What's the sleep paralysis? Have you heard asleep? Or you wake up and you can move? Yeah, it happens a lot with cases of sleep paralysis. And it's become more and more common over the past few years. A lot. A lot of cases have been. The hat made is more common now. Yeah, it's starting to become more and more common because it does seem Unknown Speaker 29:27 like it started. I mean, that that read itself was like 2016. Tim Stone 29:30 Yeah, well, we so what's interesting is in 2016, after the right stuff, a guy put together a website called the hat man project, and where people could kind of submit their stories of their experiences with that man, and they've got 1000s of submissions. It's tough to say how legitimate all these are. I've I've looked at some of them and some of them I don't know, their suspect. Sure the subs, the spelling's all over the place and some of the stories are just like, Ah, this feels like you know, when you're reading something like that, and you're like this feels too perfect like the story feels too perfect to be real. feels too manicured. You know? I don't know a lot of them feel that way. So I don't know how many of them are legitimate. Speaker 2 30:12 But a lot of that in my dream. i It seemed like it was happening a lot when I was in high school. Yeah. So I want to say my freshman year high school was the first one. And then one time at Evangel. Yeah. But like, I don't really is not that I remember. Tim Stone 30:28 Yeah. Interesting. Speaker 2 30:30 So, right. And like by a lot, I mean, like, maybe four or five times total. Yeah. Which is a lot. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was like once a year there for a while. Tim Stone 30:40 That's interesting. Unknown Speaker 30:41 I'm due for another visit. Yeah, Tim Stone 30:43 I mean, that that was kind Speaker 2 30:44 of like the dentist you go a lot for you know, a little while and then you don't go for like 10 years. Tim Stone 30:49 Yeah. And then you show back up and they pull up there. You're messed up. Yeah, but do you really that like no one else knows. Everyone else is like your teeth looks Unknown Speaker 30:57 in the hat ministries being like Tim Stone 31:06 his teeth, he's got so much gums. Floss. That's, I think that's what they do is like, Speaker 2 31:13 do you pray? I was going to a fight yesterday. And that's actually that's actually like, what I thought I was like, dang, how? How cool would it be to just caulk your head like this? To get into a fight, someone squaring up and you just go do you pray. Just punch kid lights knocked out of you, you know, saying like, freakin Tim Stone 31:47 well get the data, like your Unknown Speaker 31:56 friggin beat the heck out of you, man.

And that'll get you right in there. If not, we're just super glad that you're here. And thanks for watching our show Tim Stone 32:51 so on this this guy's site, or even on Reddit, a lot of these stories where people say Oh, this happened to me when I was a kid. And so those years and 90s and there was a huge volume of that. So nowadays interesting there's there's still people who was happening. Speaker 2 33:08 Vaguely stuff like that when I was a kid but I wouldn't have associated that. Like because I guess I associated that guy with the recurring dream that happens where you go in and and murder innocent people. Yeah, maybe they're not innocent. Who knows? I don't know the backstory. I just hit me. Oh, guys, I'm just one of the bald guys. But I can remember like moments of like, you know, you think like, I remember one time I woke up. And I thought it was my mom in the hallway right outside my room. And I remember being like, Oh, what are you doing? Yeah. And then there's walked Tim Stone 33:42 away? Yeah, yeah. When was the hat, man? Speaker 2 33:45 I don't remember specifically if there was a hat on my mother. I don't, but I couldn't I you know, remembering that I remember that very clearly. But I don't I remember. I remember it. Thinking of my mom. But maybe it wasn't my mom. I don't know. Interesting. So then a lot of very similar experience at a Hampton Inn in South Bend, Indiana. You know, Tim Stone 34:16 is that real? Unknown Speaker 34:22 No, no, I thought that was funny that it's funny. So, so the man in Tim Stone 34:31 the 80s 90s A lot of people said they experiences this. Sure. So more people started sliding into the chat and saying, Oh, I don't I don't have a story of that man. But like pre 80s like 70s 60s 50s I experienced something similar, but it was more of just like a shadow figure. Like I just want to say yeah, it wasn't hot man. And so that kind of gets us into a handful of theories of what's going on here. Okay. So obviously there's the possibility that this is just a dream. are some figment of everyone's imagination? That's a possibility. Sure. And then the the drugs I mean, Speaker 2 35:06 well, it's the sheer dream that people have like your teeth falling out. Yeah. Tim Stone 35:09 This man or Senator like there's there is a power of suggestion thing where it's like it becomes something in the Zeitgeist and culture like you're gonna see it. Like, like when you buy a new car you see that car everywhere. People are talking about it on Reddit and you spend a lot of time on Reddit, then you start to dream about this guy, because Sure, it's just kind of in the back of your mind. And so if that's possible, and that's, I mean, I would say a lot of people who've experienced this, that could be it. But for cases like yours, like obviously, like you didn't notice no thing. And so there's a couple, a couple of possibilities for that scenario. Okay. One of them. Have you heard of gin? Unknown Speaker 35:47 No. I don't even know what that is. Tim Stone 35:52 Good. So gin are essentially Tim Stone 36:03 Jared are essentially like demons in like Near Eastern. Speaker 2 36:08 Oh, okay. Okay. I know we're talking about what Tim Stone 36:11 a lot of a lot of times today you would think like Genie sugar. That's kind of where it's derived from, but they're more demonic the jinn. And they go back to ancient times, in Latin cultures. They're described as like Incubus and succubus. And so these are the same things. The concept is it comes to you in your sleep, and it wakes you up in your sleep, and harms you in your sleep and makes it to where you can't wake up or hurts you or kills you all within your sleep. Okay. What a lot of people think is that is just an ancient explanation for sleep paralysis. Which if you don't know what sleep paralysis is, sleep paralysis is something that doesn't have a ton of research around it yet, but sometime in like the 90s, early 2000s. Medicine was able to say, okay, yeah, this is definitely a thing where there's some sort of connection in your brain, where when you when you go to sleep, like it paralyzes your body. Yeah. But there's a thing where you wait, while you're still in REM sleep, you can wake up like you can become conscious, but your body's still paralyzed. So you can't move, right, you're still physically asleep, but you're conscious. And there's not a ton of research into this yet. But there's some theory that you can be fully conscious in that sleep paralysis, but also still be in a dream state. So you can start to dream while being fully conscious, right? And so that would explain the shadow figures because you're seeing nightmares in your room in your space. While you're fully conscious. Your dream, Speaker 2 37:42 you're still dreaming, your brain is still creating images. Yeah, yeah. And so Tim Stone 37:47 the kind of explanation for like the jinn and the Succubus and things like that is, that was an ancient culture, who didn't understand all that they just knew that some people would wake up in the middle at night, and there would be something they're sure interacting with them in some way. And then they and they couldn't move. They they had like total power over them. Until they then woke up, right. And then the thing was gone. And so could it be just part of sleep paralysis? Sure. Could it be a demon? Sure. Could it be chin? Sure. Unknown Speaker 38:24 There's gonna leave it open. You know? Tim Stone 38:27 You just got to do your own research. Unknown Speaker 38:29 Could it be alien? Tim Stone 38:30 Aliens? Oh, that's a good question, actually. Because here's something that some people have pointed out. Looks a lot like the men and Black does it not Jaron Myers 38:42 I don't like the way you say. Oh, looks like you know, looks a lot like the Men in Black does it not? Speaker 2 38:52 Why do you say like that? Well, that's how we talk like you're some Brooklyn guy who's just like, Oh, we got him we got him in the block. God redhead Jaron Myers 39:01 it looks a lot like the man in black if you ask me. Like a frickin 50s detective who just like really followed a hunch. No, but looks a lot like the Men in Black to me. Tim Stone 39:17 He does though. He looks just like him. Here's the thing. Some people think it is it is a man in the black men and black aren't aliens. Yeah, they are not. Okay, all right. Let's take a second let me teach you a little bit about the men in black for a second. The Men In Black are totally aliens. People think the Men in Black is a government organization it's not so the whole story of men and black is that the reason why there's this cover up around the aliens is hard to do Speaker 2 39:45 and cut it pretty hard. Cuz you're just like, cuz I don't care. If you could just like go on. I love that. Tim Stone 39:56 The reason why there's like this cover up. It's not the government cut covering it up, it's the AC. I remember, and the men and black are aliens or Androids or something. And they're made to look like us made to look like people we could trust that come and be like, Hey, you gotta leave this alone. But they're controlled by aliens, whether they're Androids, or whether they're aliens and somewhere in skinsuit. But if you if you look at firsthand accounts of people who have experienced men and black, Speaker 2 40:20 their face opens up and they're, like, controlled by the thing or whatever. Tim Stone 40:24 Well, I mean, I don't know about that. But people people will say like, oh, well, I've tried to like, like, there's stories where people will have the Men in Black show up at their home and you're talking about real life stories. In the movie, I'm not talking about the movie. The life of the dreams, Unknown Speaker 40:39 fictional movie, I'm talking about real life I happened and Tim Stone 40:42 they'll offer them drinks to offer them food and they don't know what to do with it. And so like they'll they'll try to eat but it's clear that they've never done it before. Or like, or they'll I'm sorry, have you ever done this before? Unknown Speaker 40:57 How bad do you have to do it? To look like you've never done Tim Stone 41:07 never before. Speaker 2 41:08 That's a fun bit. When you go to a restaurant sit down and we just look at it and go Tim Stone 41:17 cut up the broccoli it just kind of like shove it in your ear a little bit Unknown Speaker 41:32 do disappear the server goes all right. Tim Stone 41:44 Are you ready for the bill? What is Bill? Unknown Speaker 41:49 Whose bill? Tim Stone 41:52 Was the thing like they'll say stuff like that? They'll be super monotone their skins weird. Their lips are weird. Speaker 2 42:00 That's what the YouTube comments say. Skins weird. Their lips are weird. I like these guys, man. Tim Stone 42:12 Okay, and black are the aliens coming to cover up their own. So this is the aliens coming to people in their sleep to either give them a message or to be like, Hey, you're digging into the alien thing a little too much. You need to back off Unknown Speaker 42:25 the conspiracies in the Benadryl? Tim Stone 42:27 Yeah. Have you ever thought about Benadryl? So that's a possibility is that it's actually the minute Black could be aliens could be the minute Black could be demons could be just hallucinations. Or? Honestly, here's what I think. This is gonna be a surprisingly normal thing. You're gonna be disappointed at how not crazy this is. Unknown Speaker 42:51 Okay. That's one of your intro quotes. Tim Stone 42:58 80s 90s is when this got like started to really or I should say, we don't know exactly the timeline. We know people who live were born 80s 90s Sure would reminisce about this when they went back into this blog to say oh X Movie Kid. There was a popular man who wore a hat Yeah, came in people's dreams and killed people in their dreams. Oh, I liked the Unknown Speaker 43:21 first one better. We don't get to see them. Okay, so about that. Tim Stone 43:25 But literally the story of Nightmare on Elm Street as he existed in the dream world, not in real life and dreams anymore fedora and he killed people in their dreams, and then show us the next you stuck in your dreams. His Speaker 2 43:38 skins weird. His lips are weird. Tim Stone 43:44 And so I think what happened? Here's what I think happened. Yeah, I Speaker 2 43:47 think people always that actually tracks because we'll always see Tim Stone 43:51 weird shadows at night in the ribs. I don't want to that has always happened. I think people will always in corners or in doorways. You like wake up at midnight and be like, oh, there's something there. And I think I think your brain tries to explain it do you use when possible explanation was Freddy Krueger then it became a popular one. That became something that existed on the Internet somewhere. Someone took a bunch of Benadryl saw it and made it and like had a hallucination and then talked about it in his Reddit. Speaker 2 44:22 So like if you are intending to hallucinate something Yeah, then you're much more likely probably going so Oh, dang it I just had a good follow up but it's gone now. The guy just the hat man just came in out of my head don't Tim Stone 44:39 say that a little bit. Yeah. Unknown Speaker 44:42 Oh I thought I borrow some more time maybe a comeback Tim Stone 44:55 and maybe you will no no Speaker 2 44:56 for real though. So do you think that when you wake up because As your body is in like a cuz I mean like I'm just thinking like, you know, people were saying like primitively like if you wake up in the woods, yeah. Like your body is on the highest alert. Yeah. And your your brain is doing the fastest assessment that it can. Yeah, because you've been unconscious until this moment and now it has to catch up. Yep. And so it's as also that's, you know when you wake up you're at your highest alert. Yeah. Yeah. Which is why the alarm a lot of times you'll jump or whatever Tim Stone 45:30 which is why I sprint down the hall every time the alarm in my house. Yeah, yeah just freakin going for it. I got a breath from that. But yeah, I mean like you wake up and your your brain is trying to make sense of everything around you and if there's a shadow or something, you know that you're not used to. That's why sleeping in hotels is difficult actually. Yeah. Because you wake up and your brain is like I don't recognize this place. Yeah, we should get out of here. We should go. Yeah, yeah, that's how I ended up naked in the lobbies a lot. Actually. Pretty. I'm not allowed to holidays anymore. Sorry. My brain told me I shouldn't be here. What are you? What are you doing? My brain she was said I shouldn't be here. Please. We agree. You should not be here. My brain grace. Goodness. I that makes sense. That's actually a really good. Yeah. I don't know why you saw him though. Speaker 2 46:34 I don't either. But I would like so. I don't like let's just say next is Halloween. All right, we've lived this month. This is my least favorite month. Because I don't like that scary. Movie Trailers are basically the scary movie. I'm just trying to enjoy a frickin show that I like. And then I got to watch The Exorcist. I didn't I don't want to sign up for this. I straight up that's that's what I'm saying. I did not sign up for this. I don't want that. I do I have to go through every year. Every October I have to go through and I have to block all these things on Twitter. Cuz they show these freaking videos. Yeah. Tim Stone 47:12 And as a scaredy cat. He's Speaker 2 47:15 telling you, I'm sorry. I'm telling you I sleep in hotels rooms by myself. And I do think that your brain goes this is unfamiliar. I don't like it. And so freakin Yeah, it's myself. Yeah. With also the images of Did you watch the brother this week? Not yesterday. Okay, well, it's you know how they every once awhile do an episode like the buddy games what he did. It's an episode but actually the whole episode is a commercial, Paramount's movies. Well, Paramount's doing a new exorcist movie. And half of Big Brother this week was a frequent exercise commercial. And the game is exercise themed. And so the little girl the exercise girl is showing up in the game. Tim Stone 47:52 Yeah. Speaking of complaints, though, Paramount plus driving full driving, because when you land on the the show, yeah. shows you recent episodes. Yeah, it just starts. How come? No one there was like, oh, spoilers. Yeah, they don't care. It happens all the time. Yeah, it drives me freaking Speaker 2 48:11 also that people who are making trailers for movies have also given up on spoilers, because what I'm saying is that the entire month, the Tim Stone 48:18 twist in the, because this is the best part. Speaker 2 48:21 I know. And they're like, we're gonna you know, and that's, that's maybe that's because we don't trust movies anymore. But it really is an issue where they're like, oh, by the way, it's a crazy twist at the end. And you're like, Well, I don't want to watch it now. Yeah, because you gave away the fun part. Yeah. Anyway, that's me. I was real passionate about that. And the next time I see the hat, man, I'm in a fistfight. I'm just gonna get up and I'm gonna actually I'm gonna go to his dreams and I'm a fist fight about his dreams. Tim Stone 48:48 Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna cover Oh, actually, nevermind Speaker 2 48:59 I don't like it. That sounds like you had an idea that you're gonna do to me. That's not a fun time. Just that will give me enough anxiety to last a month. That's great big fan. I'll be all the way in but Happy Halloween Happy Halloween Tim Stone 49:20 right next time you see that happen, you should feel Tim Stone 49:29 things either last night is a production of space Tim medium produced by Christian Taylor audio by Alex Garnett video by Connor Betts.

I'll call my party guy. Unknown Speaker 5:08 I got a party guy. Speaker 2 5:09 Oh, never say party parents go now it's time to go away. No, they Speaker 3 5:13 didn't. He's he's not even two years old yet. Here's the deal. In that day, everybody was like, Oh, your kids cursed. Let me tell you everything that happened to them. And you'll be like, Oh, you're bad parents. So here's the first your kids curse. Okay, so he's not even two years old yet. Like just learning to walk. He falls out a third story window, goes into a coma, but wakes up eventually survives. goes on with his life. A couple years later, he's three years old. He's in his dad's workshop. And he was dead Santa. No, he makes instruments remember? Oh, yeah. His music Unknown Speaker 5:52 shop. Speaker 3 5:55 Yes. And his dad had left some sulfuric acid out. And the kid, three years old thought it was milk. And so he drank it. So had pretty severe sulfuric acid. Unknown Speaker 6:10 Curse got him. Speaker 3 6:13 survived that couple of years later, he swallowed a needle and managed to pass it totally fine. Which is pretty, it's safe. Criss Angel. Unknown Speaker 6:28 That's where this is where he got it. This Unknown Speaker 6:29 is his inspiration. Unknown Speaker 6:31 He was the grossest part of the show. Speaker 3 6:34 He also burnt himself on a hot stove and got an infection from it because that was I guess, really common back then. It Unknown Speaker 6:43 was all this happening. Speaker 3 6:44 I mean, he's a child child. Yeah, this started at the age of one and it ran through his childhood. Speaker 2 6:50 He's more than just unlucky. Like he's he's kind of dumb. Yeah, Speaker 3 6:53 yeah, he He then got hit in the head from a roof tile that fell off of a building that he was standing by. And have you ever like like the old school like roof tiles like that? The Plaza has? Yeah. Tiles. Yeah, have you ever held one of those? They're heavy they're very heavy. Yeah, so it knocked him unconscious. And he went into a coma again was in a coma for a little while but survived that woke back up went about his life. Speaker 2 7:17 How was his cognitive ability at this point? Do you know like if he's fallen out but here's what here's what Speaker 3 7:24 we know from the his later life his cognitive ability was probably pretty fine. But I think whatever his like Don't be a person who sucks like receptors in his brain shut disconnected because he was kind of a tool the rest of his life. So I guess some cognitive damage. Like you still you relate. Unknown Speaker 7:48 I'm don't remember any of this stuff happening to me. Unknown Speaker 7:56 Have you talked to your doctor about that? Unknown Speaker 8:02 He also he drink varnish three different times. Unknown Speaker 8:05 Three different times. Yeah, Unknown Speaker 8:06 yeah. Speaker 2 8:07 I'll tell you what, this sounds like a guy who knows how much gasoline you can drink. Yeah, you would. Speaker 3 8:14 I mean, he's, yeah, he also drink arsenic. And then, on one fateful day, he a towns person in his town found miles from his house, floating facedown in the river, just getting carried by the current. So he dragged them out and the aid off, laid there for a couple of moments and then just kind of coughed up all the water and then got up and went about his day. Unknown Speaker 8:44 And his mom said was like, Thanks is mom, his mom, which way to my home? Unknown Speaker 8:49 Which way home? Speaker 3 8:52 His mom said about him that the boy is cursed. He's going to live a life of long suffering. The town called them the ghost, which is super cool. Unknown Speaker 9:04 Because he never died. He was I mean, I don't know what it was. Speaker 2 9:07 That did that develop. Like I'm an invincible kind of feeling. Is that? Is that what it is? Speaker 3 9:11 Was kind of cocky. Okay. And so in high school in high school, he got really into music. And he he like, became, I don't know what the word is. At this time. Being a band nerd was cool. It was kind of like playing guitar. Yeah, it was like, Speaker 2 9:31 Oh, you play clarinet? Yeah. Wow. Yeah, you're in clarinet Speaker 3 9:35 club wins. Yeah, yeah. And so he was kind of like, you know, a rock star, sort of, sort of. So he's living that life learning learning music and his dad. He's apprenticing under his father whose music Unknown Speaker 9:50 guy music manufacturer moves, Unknown Speaker 9:52 a beat boxer, Unknown Speaker 9:53 I'm sure a beat manufacturer and so they call them Speaker 2 9:59 Arby's. cuz he's got the beat. Unknown Speaker 10:03 Okay that's Speaker 2 10:08 pretty good my soundcloud my soundcloud name is Rossby you don't have roast beef@gmail.com But the ease are threes. So it's a roast B three three F, which is also the past so now you ever to capital R zero. At symbol Speaker 5 10:41 Yeah. As people would never guess it people never Speaker 2 10:48 roast beef@gmail.com and no new. Unknown Speaker 10:54 That's so good. Speaker 3 10:59 So this guy, he starts like kind of hobby making instruments. Okay, it's just kind of like, you know, let's go invent the French horn. Because I did. Because I did that first. I beat him to there. Close. He, he made a bunch of instruments kind of like when you were a kid, and you made instruments out of like tissue boxes and stuff. But he was making real instruments. So not a lot like, actually, now that I say that a lot. Okay. So he's building, he's building all these instruments. And in his late teens, he enters into a Belgian xx xx exhibition, a Belgian musician exhibition. Unknown Speaker 11:41 The Belgian musician exhibition. Unknown Speaker 11:44 He was remission. Speaker 5 11:48 I got stuck on a commission. I couldn't start with those. Okay, so Speaker 3 11:53 he interested in to this thing with a new instrument that he had invented, called the bass clarinet. Here's the thing. He didn't invent it. The bass clarinet existed, but it was not good. Everybody agreed that the bass clarinet sucked, because it wouldn't stay in tune. It was very quiet. And it was like hard to play. And it just didn't sound good in general. And so the bass clarinet was like, not popular instrument. He made this bass clarinet, they like curved upwards. So like it was louder, and then it could hold it tune. And it actually sounded good. And so he built this bass clarinet. Unknown Speaker 12:31 I understand where we're going. I think he didn't or okay. Speaker 3 12:34 And so it makes us bass clarinet. And at the exhibition, everybody's minds are free to do Speaker 2 12:39 that. So sexy. They would you say, What did you just say? That's that was the slang back. Yeah, so sex. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 3 12:49 And everybody was like, Wow, this sounds great. This is really good. We love it. And then they pull them aside at the end of the exhibition. And they said, Hey, by Speaker 2 12:57 the way, the bass cleaner already exists. So you know, we just wanted to let you know, a little secret. You're Speaker 5 13:05 just what did you get dropped from a third story window as a child. Unknown Speaker 13:10 I was actually robbed. Yeah, Unknown Speaker 13:12 I walked. Unknown Speaker 13:13 I jumped. I Speaker 2 13:14 did that myself. That was nobody else's fault. Speaker 3 13:18 They told him, they said, they said, here's the deal, bro. This idea? Great idea. We love it. We love you. You're great. Sounds great. Looks great. Feels great. Everything about this is great. Okay, this deserves the gold medal. And he's like, sweet, and they said, but we're not gonna give it to Unknown Speaker 13:34 you because the other guy paid more. They said, Speaker 3 13:37 because you're too young. And if you win the gold now, then what are you going to do the rest of your life? Unknown Speaker 13:43 No. What are you going to work towards? Yeah. Speaker 3 13:45 What else you could accomplish if you don't win the gold. So we're going to give you the silver and Unknown Speaker 13:53 just to keep you hungry. Speaker 3 13:56 And he told them, he told them he said he said if I'm too young for the gold, then I'm too old for the silver. And he refused to accept it. Speaker 2 14:05 And I really took his saxophone and went home while I was a bass clarinet. Yeah, but he had been to the saxophone, right. It's a bass clarinet. At that point. Speaker 3 14:15 This is a bass clarinet. Oh, this is not a saxophone Unknown Speaker 14:22 is that one that's excellent was gold plated. Speaker 4 14:25 You actually might be actually or he's like it's a woodwind instrument, Unknown Speaker 14:29 but it's gold but Unknown Speaker 14:31 it's gone. Unknown Speaker 14:33 I'm not old enough for it. Unknown Speaker 14:37 Sorry, I'm too young for that Unknown Speaker 14:45 Oh, Unknown Speaker 14:46 don't touch my socks. You're too young Unknown Speaker 14:59 so he Yeah, Unknown Speaker 15:00 it's a bass clarinet, Unknown Speaker 15:02 bass clarinet. Okay. Unknown Speaker 15:04 So he very frustrated about this whole situation says, Unknown Speaker 15:08 Well, I don't want to do it. Then I quit. Yeah, he Speaker 3 15:10 says he says, I can't be around all these stupid Belgians. Any longer you people you don't know music. You don't know, waffles. What am I here for? And so he says, I'm moving to. Okay. And so he packs up with $42. Belgian dollars Belgian $1,800. I don't know what that is. Unknown Speaker 15:32 Hey, when does this episode come out? Unknown Speaker 15:35 October 24. Oh, why? Speaker 2 15:38 Oh, I was just trying to promote some shows, but they've already happened. Bummer. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 19:16 Get to see from across the house just Unknown Speaker 19:22 Hello guys. In the backyard, Unknown Speaker 19:25 the ghost. Unknown Speaker 19:28 Ghost of season 26 Unknown Speaker 19:30 We need to vote this guy out of the house and immediately Unknown Speaker 19:36 cast my vote to evict the go Speaker 2 19:42 Hi, Julie.

Unknown Speaker 19:57 She she comes in over the speaker and she's like Houska posts they all boo me as like yeah, you guys good yeah Speaker 1 20:16 Hey, thanks for checking out this episode. If you liked this, we've got a lot of great ones. Let me recommend a recent one hitch bot. Basically some Canadian scientists said what if we made a robot that hitchhiked across the country? You think it can make it? Spoiler alert it's a fun episode. I like it a lot. You can need to check it out. One of my favorite reason jokes is in there. So check that one out. But if not, thanks for being here Unknown Speaker 20:46 Space Cowboy Gaby often Okay, so he's Unknown Speaker 20:48 testing out his bass clarinet. He's Unknown Speaker 20:51 trying to be like, Hey, Speaker 3 20:52 he's going door to door. No, he's one of these events. And he's playing it and people are like, that's pretty cool. But honestly, you're not from around here. And you're also kind of a tool and you're really young. And you've got a lot of scars on your face. Yeah. freaks us out. And so he pretty much immediately and your names Speaker 2 21:08 too long by just choose one dude. The Anthony Amasis I ate off. It just sounds like his parents looked at the name book. And they were like the first seven will do. Unknown Speaker 21:22 Because video that was what? Yeah. Speaker 3 21:24 What are you What? Yeah, what? They ended up having 11 kids, they use three names on him. I'm curious at what point they like, slowed down. And we're like, just one just one. Yeah, they even named the 11. Yeah, Unknown Speaker 21:36 he has no name. That's Unknown Speaker 21:39 it. What's your name? Unknown Speaker 21:40 Ghost kid. My name is boy, a lot of callbacks. My name is Unknown Speaker 21:49 the 11th. So which is also cool. It's pretty safe. The the Speaker 3 22:00 Paris beat builder community said, Hey, we don't like you pretty quickly. Because he had really good ideas and they were jealous. I think it was also a tool. And he was also really young and he came in and he was like, he's like Hey, I got better ideas and all of you and they were like we've been doing this for 40 years and Speaker 2 22:16 curves at the bottom. You should call this the croissant clarity. And he was like this is stupid idea that Clara saw it levy gay. You should Unknown Speaker 22:31 we okay. We should Unknown Speaker 22:36 call it the croissant. Unknown Speaker 22:41 There's a specific person in our life who I'm Yeah, I know. Some of you. Unknown Speaker 22:52 Okay, so he Unknown Speaker 22:54 it's his wife. He's Unknown Speaker 22:57 he's probably the steak and he's getting his bat Speaker 2 22:59 a lot of sorry I am. I am making this back. This is my phone today. Dude. He's getting Speaker 3 23:05 so much hate for this. And all of his inventions. He's got to feel it. For example, while we're here. He invented this. This is called the trumpet. Speaker 2 23:16 This this is a Whoville instrument. Looks like one of the art installations of the Kansas City Airport. It Speaker 3 23:21 does is absolutely theirs. If you're wondering, yeah, do Dr. Seuss drew this? It looks like a Dr. Seuss trumpet. It looks like a trombone if there was 13 of them that got tangled up in a really bad car accident. Speaker 2 23:32 It was like a trumpet if that happened. Well, I mean, it's long. I mean, how does a person hold? Where's the Speaker 3 23:39 I think? I think the mouthpiece comes out see the bat Yeah, comes out. Speaker 2 23:43 To hold it like a trumpet. Yeah. And then like, I guess around Speaker 3 23:47 yeah, I couldn't imagine. I mean, this has got to be heavy. And it's too Speaker 5 23:53 loud. It's yeah, just a little Yeah, but you got a second Yeah, there you go. Unknown Speaker 24:02 Gotta learn how to make money Unknown Speaker 24:09 what's the point of that? Does it sound like Speaker 3 24:11 so here's the thing that you harmonize. Here's the thing he focused on a lot was that's Speaker 2 24:16 no go back to that. This is and hear me out here. This is brass pipes. Yeah, like bagpipes? Speaker 3 24:28 Ah, but brass I like I like where Speaker 2 24:31 brass types because I'm saying like the you know how harmonizes with itself? Speaker 3 24:35 Yeah. You might be right. Actually, it might harmonize with itself. Unknown Speaker 24:39 Yeah. Cuz he's got, I mean, it's got to, you know, Speaker 3 24:42 here's another he did a six piston trombone. So yeah, but here's the thing. What are his main focuses because this was before amplification. And so a lot of instruments is instruments. These instruments were pretty quiet at the time, and especially a lot of wind instruments because, I mean, they were This trumpets that you pointed seven pointed straight down. Yeah, sound went straight down. And so he was reengineering stuff. So it went straight at the crowd. And so he was changing the shape of a lot of these things to still get the same sound but the sound waves travel a little bit better. So like amplifies, okay, the cones on the outside of them a lot bigger. So they'd be louder was kind of the thing that he was known for doing. Yeah. They had chocolate, he had chocolate and little sprinkles on it. Speaker 2 25:33 I'll do the dumb parts. This is by sprinkling through the info let me do the stupid stuff. So the Info Wars Speaker 7 25:45 are trying to put sprinkles on our trumpet trying to put too many trombones together, looking over the trombone, please. There's a certain amount of Trump which isn't what God wanted. Unknown Speaker 25:57 God wants one drop out and one. flirty drop my phones. Speaker 7 26:04 Were hands all over it still really? Weird he bow. Unknown Speaker 26:12 So you made some enemies? Speaker 3 26:14 Yeah, people were out to get him. And then he had this revolutionary idea. Okay. He said, What if I'm playing my guitar. And there was a thing I could step on that would like, repeat whatever I just played, I don't know, like, loop it. And then I could let that go. And then I started slapping my guitar, like a beat on my guitar. He's making this up. And then I could maybe yell into it. He's mad. And it'd be like, he's stupid right now. No, yeah, he had an idea to put a bunch of stuff together. And so he basically was like, what if we had a woodwind instrument? That was also a brass instrument. And so he made the saxophone. And so it mixed two totally different kinds of instruments together, and no one had thought of that yet. And the music community was like, What the fuck is wrong with you? That's Unknown Speaker 27:02 going for gold. Speaker 3 27:05 The Music The music community took it like people doing loot pedals, because they were like, That's not. That's not how that works. You're not supposed to use that instrument like that. Okay? Or you're not supposed to use those materials. That way. You're using it wrong. But everybody else in the world was like, This sounds awesome. I love this. Put it in step up three. Unknown Speaker 27:27 They just hadn't heard the SNL intro yet. Unknown Speaker 27:30 How does that go? Unknown Speaker 27:36 You know, oh, sorry. We can't we're not Unknown Speaker 27:38 gonna have that. Yeah. So with that, hi. No. Speaker 2 27:43 I can see your face for you. And I'm ready to make fun of them. And then you let me go because you were like, dang, dang, he hit it. You didn't know that. I was in an acapella group. All right. Didn't Unknown Speaker 27:53 know that. Unknown Speaker 27:57 It's pretty obvious, brother. Yeah. You Unknown Speaker 27:59 don't have to tell me. All right. Speaker 3 28:01 So the actual music community was like, this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life. And my fans, but everybody else was like, This is so sweet. Yeah. And so the first time he debuted like, Speaker 2 28:10 August Rush, yes. No kid playing the guitar like this. Yeah. And everyone else is like, Oh, what the crap and then Robin Williams is like you got spunk kid. I'm gonna put you in my shelter with all my other kids. That movie is weird. When you really think about your entire mount. You see that movie? Like he's just got like all these homeless kids together? Speaker 5 28:28 No, I don't. Oh, yeah, it Speaker 2 28:32 was it was Robin Williams real life. played himself in that. He had a group of homeless children together that were all music savant. Yeah, sounds pretty good. Unknown Speaker 28:42 How did you find them? Speaker 2 28:44 The music brought them together. That's kind of the point of the Do you not know if you've ever seen August Rush? It was like a huge movie. And like, I don't want to tell them five maybe. Unknown Speaker 28:55 Yeah, well, I wasn't a bad kid. So Speaker 2 28:57 there's the kid is the kid from Bates Motel and that artistic Doctor show? Oh, yeah. Which is a horrible representation of what autism is. It's also true. But yeah, he plays a guitar like this in the park. Because a homeless kid. Yeah. And then Robin Williams is like, Hey, I've got other homeless kids and you guys can be in a band. And I get all your money that you know, basically, it was like exploiting the children. Unknown Speaker 29:21 But anyway, a different version of school rock. Speaker 2 29:23 Kind of, yeah, but he like he's like some kind of music savant or whatever. And he writes the symphony. And then he ends up getting the the New York City Symphony to play it in. In I can't think of what the Central Park I played in Central Park. That's his mom and his dad, who, you know, hey, they're not together anymore. Oh, yeah. And rise from their graves. It was really weird at the end, Robert, no, he's on his dad here the symphony, and they both show up at the park and they rekindled their love Oh, yeah. And they found their kid. I don't know Unknown Speaker 30:01 how that's hard. Speaker 2 30:04 I guess I should rewatch that movie. It doesn't Well, now that I'm trying to explain to you a little, but it's been so long, you know, the ending scene though. We're like, the symphony is playing his music. And the parents are like, This just sounds like they it's almost like they like the I know this song. You know? And then he's, they're conducting, it turns around, it's literally he's just and there's his parents, you know? And then they kill Robin Williams on stage. exploiting these kids, it was a wild twist a weird movie, dude. And they pan out Speaker 2 30:55 the Madagascar animals are in the movies just blending together. It's kind of like, really, when you think about it. It's like they took a brass and woodwinds and put it together together. You know? Oh, my God, who? pillars of the music industry? Unknown Speaker 31:18 Together? Yeah. Speaker 3 31:21 So he had this idea for the saxophone. It became the saxophone. He wasn't calling it the saxophone at the time. He was calling. There's a name. Come Unknown Speaker 31:27 on. We'll figure that out later. Speaker 3 31:30 He, he said this is this is good. This is yeah, really got something here. Yeah. But he's like, but I don't have a patent on this. And he's like, I want to show it off. But he was nervous that the crowd that hated them, the local Paris, Munich. We're gonna steal his idea. So he goes and does a showcase with it. But he stays behind the curtain the whole time. So that way, no one can see it. He's like if they can't see it. If so it's like an orchestra. Oh, sketchy. Let's do the thing. Speaker 2 31:56 And there's a weird, middle of the stage. And he's just back there, like, Unknown Speaker 32:02 and everyone's like, what is that? Speaker 2 32:03 I've never so entrain, anything like that in my life? Is he doing that with the curtain? Currently the instrument and then he just goes, he just goes, thank you. Unknown Speaker 32:15 Jesus loves you very much. In today's lesson, Unknown Speaker 32:21 we started to get felt puppets of ourselves. That's a whole I Speaker 3 32:23 forgot about that. This showcase that he did was a very tactical showcase. Because he knew the king was going to be their king of France. And he said, If he hears this, he said, I know that's my end. What the? That's my end. What do you see? What's his deal with your okay? And so, lo and behold, showcase ends immediately the king's like, give me the guy behind the curtain. Unknown Speaker 32:45 I think it's more just mystery at that point. You know, he Unknown Speaker 32:50 does see behind the curtain. Speaker 2 32:51 I do. I do think that might have played a factor in it. Like I mean, much like undercover billionaire. Yeah. Where it's like, oh, crazy. We got so busy at our barbecue stand. And it's like, yeah, dude, you have a camera crew. Yeah. It's like crazy that we got the Kings attention. And it's like, yeah, you're hiding something from him? Yep. Speaker 3 33:09 Yep. It's just like, if I am at a wedding, I sneak off and try to find my way to the roof. Every wedding. And I found my way to the roof about eight weddings. This is a real thing. Unknown Speaker 33:20 This is 100% of real thing. I've Speaker 3 33:21 been on the roof at about eight of the weddings I've been to most weddings have roof access somewhere most wedding venues. And so you can get out there. The question is, do they have a padlock on the hatch? A lot of them do? Did she not all of them do? Unknown Speaker 33:38 You didn't do that at our wedding. Yeah, Unknown Speaker 33:41 yours was different. Because it was Unknown Speaker 33:42 because I was with you the whole time. Like you're not getting on this roof. You will Speaker 3 33:47 not make it on this room. No, yeah, I didn't try it there because it wasn't like a venue. But venues venues typically will have like a closet somewhere with a ladder to the roof. Sure. And so yeah, I've done that at like eight weddings. Okay, so this isn't a Unknown Speaker 34:04 thing. We're like, just party tricky. Unknown Speaker 34:06 Do you see it? It's not a party. Unknown Speaker 34:08 I usually do flirt with the bride's mom. Unknown Speaker 34:12 I do what I do for the roof. A Bartha roof. Is that cool? So what's your number? Unknown Speaker 34:28 In front during the first days everyone's just I'm such a distraction. Geez. Well, the beta leaving that in. So so the curtain is there. And the king is like, I gotta know what Speaker 3 34:51 I gotta know. And so he talks to him. And he says, he says, Hey, he's like, Have you ever thought about the army? And he's like, actually, yes. And he's glad you brought it up. He said, I want to be the army beat builder. And he says, You got the job, sir. And so he fires the guy who's currently doing it. And now he's the guy who's going to make all the music for the army. And this was still at the time when armies had musicians that would like go out to war with them. You know, I'm talking about Speaker 2 35:19 Yeah. Because that's how they would didn't identify what like, that's how they give signals and stuff. Speaker 3 35:25 And he really genuinely believed that the saxophone was going to be like the turning point in war combat. Yeah, that that was going to inspire the troops to Unknown Speaker 35:37 new or machine Unknown Speaker 35:40 he's Majan that here's the thing for now Speaker 3 35:42 because the exactly I don't know of a better word for a saxophone. There's Speaker 2 35:46 you got it. There's the one of those called dang it read. Yeah. Why did you know that? And I didn't for a second. I'm a musician because you gotta like lick it. You know, he's like out there on the frontlines just Unknown Speaker 36:09 tuning in. Unknown Speaker 36:11 Now you tune it before the battle. You gotta be prepared. Unknown Speaker 36:13 Oh, yeah. I mean, like there's not friggin this cannons. Yeah. You know? Speaker 3 36:23 That's the thing to me. Because like, you think of like those wars, where they had musicians and it's like, the drums and the flutes. And it's like, it's like, kind of that's kind of watery. But Unknown Speaker 36:34 the saxophone ads kind of worry. Yeah, Speaker 3 36:37 the saxophone. I can't. I can't think of a better word for the saxophone than just sexy. Like the sound makes. And on the Speaker 2 36:50 I think I wrote I saw Alex write that down. He's putting that in. No, you can you can say it. He's just gonna put it in the intro. Because he's gonna have you go. I can't think of a better word for the saxophone than sexy. There's just something about that sax, but Unknown Speaker 37:08 the instrument the instrument like I just pictured the light smooth. What's that? Unknown Speaker 37:17 You know, I'm talking about Speaker 2 37:18 what you were just singing sounds like a game show and true. Unknown Speaker 37:22 No, it's the Unknown Speaker 37:31 Yeah, yeah. Unknown Speaker 37:32 The Price Is Right. No. Unknown Speaker 37:35 Keep doing it. Keep doing it. Unknown Speaker 37:40 And I just picture like that on a battlefield. Unknown Speaker 37:43 Yeah. Did you bite it? Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. See? isn't that scary? Speaker 3 37:55 I mean it is. But also with the sound of like explosions and death and war happening all around you with an instrument that's like pretty provocative Unknown Speaker 38:09 like just imagine hearing that like lick the Unknown Speaker 38:14 over some dude who just like Speaker 4 38:24 like, it just I don't think it fits the I think it's like read the room, man. So anyway, the rest of Unknown Speaker 38:33 the rest of the music community. Speaker 2 38:35 Yeah, is furious and he's succeeding, furious that Speaker 3 38:38 he's getting they're furious that he's gotten his saxophone on the battlefield because they wanted their phones on the battlefield. I don't know Unknown Speaker 38:43 what you're making Speaker 3 38:52 Okay, and so they they begin this weekend along feud with the parents, musical world. And he in every disagreement, he gets in with anybody. He immediately challenges them to face off like, instrument face on Yeah, musical face off. And so they go back to back they take 10 paces, they turn around and play the best tune they can. And the winner gets shot. The winner shoots Unknown Speaker 39:25 the loser. Yeah. Unknown Speaker 39:27 And gets a gold medal. Unknown Speaker 39:30 And he's like, Isn't this what you wanted? This is what you want. I went for gold. Speaker 3 39:36 And so these duels get progressively more and more grandiose, like it started out just like a one on one like, yeah, Dueling Banjos situation. But eventually it turned into he's like, Speaker 2 39:47 Yeah, and he's got to finally beat the final boss at the end, which is the devil, Speaker 3 39:52 the devil of self. Now a couple years into this, the whole thing spiraling out of control. He gets into a duel with someone and he says he says I can have In a an orchestra of 11 people that will beat you in a duel if you have 1600. And they did it these people got together a 1600 person orchestra. And one because that's how. Speaker 2 40:12 Okay, let's imagine putting together a 1600 member orchestra and you're going around and it's out of spite. Like, it's like, Hey, you guys were put together a spite orchestra. Unknown Speaker 40:23 Fight is a cool baby. Speaker 8 40:25 Spite orchestra will be taking place on the town square 1600 Strong versus 11. Speaker 3 40:38 Last week, saxophones, he only got a silver medal. They call them silver. So Unknown Speaker 40:48 he won that duel, because I think Speaker 2 40:50 they couldn't figure out how to practice 1600 people. Speaker 3 40:54 Yeah, there's no 1600 person practice room out of angel. He could have they could have gotten big enough for it. No, I also, can you imagine I imagine putting that together anybody who's ever been on a worship team? And like looked at Planning Center, Speaker 2 41:08 bro. 1600 people on the worship team before that is rough the Unknown Speaker 41:12 crowded stage. Yeah. Speaker 3 41:15 So he won that duel. And after that duel, the group got together and they said, This is not how big Unknown Speaker 41:21 was the group of 1600 people faced off. You know, Unknown Speaker 41:24 there was a big group of people that didn't like him. Speaker 2 41:28 Essentially, an entire theater of people is just like, we want to destroy, Speaker 3 41:32 we want you ruined, we want everything about you. I hope you die. absolutely ruined.

Oh, dang, we're doing Speaker 2 42:51 Yeah, they can text Tillandsia 66866 Thanks, Jared Speaker 3 43:02 these people because this this epic loss and because they hated them so much. They wanted the army back on their side. They wanted their phones at war. They said we need to put together a coalition a coalition against Adolf sacks. Okay, and so they created the Paris musicians group. And the main goal was to ruin it off sacks. Like that was why they existed they would get together guys amazement is starts Speaker 2 43:35 to sound like something I want. You know, I would love if there was a coalition against Geron group. That's just can we set up like any anti Patreon? Can we like, is there like an option of like, hey, for five bucks a month? You can like, make my life harder. Speaker 5 43:56 That's pretty funny. What is the what is the perks? Speaker 2 44:01 Like for every subscriber, that's how many times I get slapped every morning? Every Unknown Speaker 44:05 morning? Yeah, someone comes in and slaps you and just, Unknown Speaker 44:06 I mean, yeah, Speaker 3 44:09 but for if you give $20 Then someone will drive around in front of you and drop nails out the back door. Speaker 2 44:14 Yeah. Or just drive around in front of me just slow. You know, you're a bit like that ruins my three under just stuff that really kills me, you know, by playing the long game trying to give me an ulcer. You know, that's pretty good. I like that. It seems like the people who work in my apartment are already on that Patreon game. Speaker 3 44:33 It tell you they tell your stories that you already told. And then just say um, but like, not good. Unknown Speaker 44:38 Oh, my gosh, dude, though. They Speaker 2 44:39 come to me when I'm mid story and they jump the end. I tell good stories. Yeah. And then people jumping in there. I was telling somebody the other day. I was like, you know, here's, we got a text from our neighbors and stuff and then someone jumped in with it. We're moving to Los Angeles. I was getting there. I'm Speaker 3 44:55 working on it. If you would let me work on it. That story made Speaker 2 44:59 it cool. and obvious who jumped in and i Oh, my bad. Speaker 5 45:05 If you're listening, you know who you are. She's so does everyone else. She's now Unknown Speaker 45:10 my lover. So they chose bad stories. Speaker 3 45:14 Their main goal in in their group was to financially ruin him. So that way he kind of do what he's doing anymore. That's wild. So they started suing him a bunch. And so they took him to court. The first lawsuit that they took against him was a lawsuit where they said he can't own the patent for the saxophone, because the saxophone doesn't exist. And the court either argument, and eight off sacks his defense was to do this. Speaker 2 45:44 Oh, his last name is snacks. Yeah, that makes a lot more sense. That's Unknown Speaker 45:48 where the name came from. Speaker 2 45:49 That was my bad. I was dumb earlier. I forgot that his last name was sex. Unknown Speaker 45:53 They really come up with the French, I'd like you to go Speaker 2 45:57 edit that part out where earlier, I was like, are we gonna find out why it's called the saxophone? Because I, I just feel like a big old dummy right now. Yeah, you should. So he was like, I got one. Speaker 3 46:09 Yeah, they were like, they're like, it doesn't exist. And then they the court was like, What's your defense? And he went, who? Speaker 2 46:13 And the court when it exists? It is real. Speaker 3 46:18 And so that didn't work. So he won that case? Yeah. And so then they brought another case against him. In this case, they said, they said, here's the deal. So the telephone does exist. Okay. But he's stolen. This has been around for forever. And the court says, Well, what's your proof? And they said, Look, we have four examples of saxophones that have the logos from manufacturers and dates on them all over the world, long before sax was even born. And what the court was able to find out through some investigative journalism, I guess, I don't know. There's some YouTuber who tracked it down. Guys Gone missing. These guys just bought four saxophones Unknown Speaker 46:57 from Aaron Zach from him and then Speaker 3 47:01 played on sax. And then they shipped them off to these manufacturers, and they said, hey, we'll pay you really well. If you scratch off his logo, and you put yours on and put some date like 200 years ago, how Unknown Speaker 47:09 many is he sell it? Speaker 3 47:11 I mean, he's like a real business now. Like he's selling these orchestras. He's selling them to the army, like he's manufacturing these. And so that case last because they were like you were he's like, this is my like, this is fraud. And they're like, what's fraud? They're like, we haven't made that law yet. But it 20 years from now you go to prison, as exactly what that conversation Yeah. And so that it worked. So then they just, they just kept bringing different lawsuits of like, a, your parent can't or because of this, or whatever, you Unknown Speaker 47:37 can be this ugly in Speaker 5 47:38 public. That's the rules. That's the rules. Hey, you can't be cursed and make stuff. Speaker 2 47:43 We were trying to find laws in Westminster, Colorado, because that's where my show is on October 22, that you missed listener. But we were trying to find laws and one of the laws we couldn't try. We were trying to confirm this is that it's illegal to get lost in Westminster, Colorado, and just waiting the hours of 9pm and 10am. To legal to be Unknown Speaker 48:06 lost. And that sounds Unknown Speaker 48:10 pretty. Unknown Speaker 48:12 It's because of bears. Unknown Speaker 48:14 Oh, okay. Yeah. No one's not. Yes. What are you talking about? It's Speaker 3 48:19 because of bears. Why would it be because bears eat people between Speaker 2 48:23 and they're saying like, hey, they're trying to victim blame you like if you if you get Speaker 3 48:28 out that late. It's your fault. We can't help you. Is that No, because the Child Tax late at night shot? Speaker 2 48:35 I was thinking it sounds pretty sundown townie. Oh, that does actually they're like they pull them over and then you lost. Yeah, it's like that's a weird law that has been in the books. That's worse. That's worse the way it was. Yeah. Yeah, dude. Yeah, it's a little worse than bears. Because they also traveled backs. Unknown Speaker 48:56 Take you up and there's a bear in the backseat. Speaker 2 49:01 I don't know there we were trying to look up was like, That was a weird one that was on there. Yeah, that's Speaker 3 49:05 crazy. So he's gone to these legal battle after legal battle after legal battle. It's just wasting like, they're just trying Speaker 2 49:10 to waste resources to try. Yeah, Speaker 3 49:13 yeah. And then one day, he had an idea. He said, Fine. I'm going to not have a patent. I'm gonna make it open source. It's free use. If you guys can build it, you can build it. And a year later, nobody was able to replicate it. And then because no one was able to replicate it. He was able to go to the court and be like, Hey, I'm the only one who can make this and they're like, Okay, you got the patent. Unknown Speaker 49:41 Which is kinda cool. Unknown Speaker 49:43 Kind of freakin sick. Like, Unknown Speaker 49:45 freakin sick. No, I probably fine. Speaker 3 49:49 Do it. Fine. Make it make it you want to make it make it make it Wow. And no one could. And so they were really upset of the Speaker 2 49:59 Divine knowledge given from a roof tile hitting you in the head. Unknown Speaker 50:04 God told me how to make this when he hit me in the head with that tile when Speaker 2 50:07 I was in that coma. I thought of like so many musical instruments, each of several of them highly unpractical. Unknown Speaker 50:16 You will believe what I when I saw that needle, Unknown Speaker 50:20 it was just going down there. And I was like, How do I get this out? Speaker 3 50:23 How do I get this out? So he he got away with a patent, and they were really, really upset about this because they said, Hey, he's got the patent. Yeah, the court thing isn't working anymore. And so they did the only logical next step. They hired an assassin. Yeah, I tried to kill him for sure. And the problem was, he's cursed the assassin. Yeah. For some reason, they said, I don't know if they gave him the wrong mark or the wrong picture, or the wrong person, they might have given them this image of him. And so that's, I mean, Unknown Speaker 50:58 that could be anybody. Here's a picture of what he actually looks like. Speaker 2 51:06 Okay, so they are cool guy who sits backwards on a chair. Speaker 3 51:10 Yeah. Yeah, he's definitely full of himself. I don't know what it was if the assassin gave the wrong mark, or if this was intentional, but the assassin attempted to assassinate his assistant, not him. And so he technically survived an assassination attempt. is a system survived to Oh, but he fired him. His performance was really bad after that. Unknown Speaker 51:30 He's like, Yeah, you're not the same as that. You lost that leg? Unknown Speaker 51:33 Yeah, you just haven't been the same after all that trauma. Speaker 2 51:36 Oh, my gosh, every day come in. I'm just, I'm trying to make saxophones and you're like, Okay, I'm really struggling with. I'm part of paranoid I think I'm being followed. You know, it's like, Dude, you survived. Get over already. Unknown Speaker 51:49 Every time they test it. Speaker 8 51:51 People just don't want to work these days. You know, Speaker 3 51:55 you get one attempt at your life. And now all of a sudden, you're lazy. Speaker 2 51:58 Oh, you want workers comp and you want benefits? If you want me to like, be on the lookout? Speaker 3 52:05 Do you think I was thinking about workers comp when I was floating facedown down the river? You need Speaker 2 52:10 brushes with death? Yeah, in order to fully comprehend the power of life. Unknown Speaker 52:15 Anyways, give me some gold to put on this. Unknown Speaker 52:18 You know why? Speaker 3 52:21 So they kind of pairs the coalition of people who hate to this guy. They kind of backed off a little bit because the assassination attempt felt like nothing they could do. Could do. Okay, Unknown Speaker 52:34 I'm sticking with that. Speaker 3 52:35 I said a phrase this morning. That I'm going to say a lot from now on. I really liked it. Cool. I was Unknown Speaker 52:44 go on. I don't want to hear it. Speaker 2 52:49 I said a little phrase this morning that I think I'm gonna add to my eyes. Cool, man. I'm glad to hear it another time. If you're gonna say it a lot. I'm sure I'll pick it up. Unknown Speaker 53:01 So he goes Unknown Speaker 53:04 say your phrase so Unknown Speaker 53:05 it's fine. Unknown Speaker 53:09 It's fine. So Unknown Speaker 53:10 his career Unknown Speaker 53:12 What was your phrase? Speaker 3 53:14 I was talking about how yesterday was kind of like a rough day and I was hoping today was gonna be a better day. And I said hopefully today is a better trip to the well. And I really liked it. It was kind of like poetic Speaker 2 53:27 that was a overheard hoping for a better soldier Winslow book. It'll Yeah, it will be in that first show. It is for sure. Hope that tomorrow is a better trip to the well. Speaker 3 53:37 Yeah. And then it gets shot by the dude with the sex. Speaker 2 53:41 So I want to make sure you're paying the seat you're the author of The tomorrow is a better trip to the well. Sorry to Winslow said as the sun fades Unknown Speaker 53:52 and then bang bang Speaker 5 53:57 Yeah, it was it was more like a bag. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, there you go. Okay, go yes. harmonized. Unknown Speaker 54:16 hate this Unknown Speaker 54:20 so yeah, he's survived the coalition. Okay. As he's gone through, Unknown Speaker 54:26 he sued them for attempting to assassinate him. Speaker 3 54:28 No. He's like, he's like, he's like, Hey, if you can kill me, you can kill me. Unknown Speaker 54:34 A year later. He's like, they can't kill Unknown Speaker 54:36 they they're not gonna Unknown Speaker 54:37 get I pat myself. Unknown Speaker 54:41 Can we do that? Actually, Speaker 3 54:42 can we put a patent into the patent office of ourselves? Can I patent me? Unknown Speaker 54:48 I'm one of the kind of one Speaker 2 54:50 of the guys I did think. Is it funny to me it is to sell mugs with our tilam logo on it. Instead of the TM just put the words patent pending. Unknown Speaker 54:58 That's very funny. Okay. Speaker 3 55:02 So he ended up being done in he lost his big army contract because the French Revolution Oh, so power switched over and they were like, Hey, we got a different guy who's heard the people saying yeah the new guy was like we want Metallica down down Unknown Speaker 55:28 down down powwow Speaker 6 55:35 we mean, so much more. Unknown Speaker 55:41 You see that well that they just put out? Speaker 3 55:44 Yes. They put out like a remix of beautiful that down. But they had a bunch of people cover it. Yeah. And they're big names. Speaker 6 55:50 JOHN BEILEIN did to live. Yeah, yeah. And I wow. surprised. Unknown Speaker 55:56 Surprised the John Beilein did that. Speaker 3 55:57 I'm surprised that they were able to get the names that they got brother Switchfoot. I mean, I know think but switch, switch. Switch for it was big in church and youth group culture. But it was it was one of those it was one of those was huge youth group culture. And they dip their toe in that everything. Speaker 2 56:12 No, but I think I think Switchfoot was one of those bands. That was for people who really liked music. Yeah, their stuff is almost like, you know, what's called place first album, rush of blood to the head or whatever it is. I mean, revolutionary. Yeah. For that time. Yeah. Switchfoot was also pretty revolutionary. That's why it crossover. Yeah. And so I think a lot of the artists these days grew up. Speaker 3 56:40 Maybe Maybe, it's just it's I mean, it's look at the tracklist it's pretty impressive. The names that they've got that add covered some of that stuff. It was hard to believe looking through it. Speaker 2 56:49 Yeah. Track 14 Is the cast of Shrek the Musical. Unknown Speaker 56:55 It was God. God, that's my strength. You Speaker 2 57:01 know, it'd be more like he had the end of the track. It's just silent for 30 seconds to strike the musical like mixer. Like, the song kind of fades out. It's silent. It's over. And then it goes to the next song. Speaker 3 57:18 Yeah, so he loses his career pretty much overnight. And he's he's already declared bankruptcy three times because the legal battles like he's the cost of the legal. The law, the cost of the law cost him a lot. Unknown Speaker 57:33 You're so annoying today. Speaker 3 57:37 But he was still like trying to invent stuff and make instruments and things like that. But then one day, Unknown Speaker 57:43 this will bring us peace. This will bring Speaker 3 57:45 us well he won't have war. He was he was a part of the war machine. Made him profit. So he was he loves going Speaker 2 57:51 to war machines. You see that missing plane the other day? Speaker 3 57:55 Yeah, that's you see that Alex? Wild suspect Speaker 2 57:59 that the government is just like hey guys, there's an F 30 live we can't find yeah if you could just look up maybe yeah, let us know if you see me at home if you see it just texting this Speaker 5 58:08 war machine texts jet to us Unknown Speaker 58:16 you know that would help us a lot. Yeah. Unknown Speaker 58:18 Takes jet to 1776 Unknown Speaker 58:21 and then you don't have to pay taxes Speaker 2 58:26 I'm so mad at million dollar jet but you're still mad at me. Like if I like I just mess up my two if I claim. Unknown Speaker 58:35 Yeah, yeah. No, it looks like Unknown Speaker 58:37 you claimed this Chick fil Unknown Speaker 58:38 A meal. Were you really on the road? Unknown Speaker 58:39 I don't know. We're where was that when you Speaker 3 58:43 tell me where the jet is. Find the jet. They did find the jet. Yeah, but you know what it was my saxophone saxophone took it down. Speaker 2 58:55 You could do that actually. in your backyard. You could take out whole airliners. That's why they won't let you get out. They won't let you get on the plane. Speaker 3 59:06 Yeah, well, that's the thing they make you put it on airplane mode because they don't know what's in your Spotify playlist. Those tones man. Unknown Speaker 59:14 So anyway, Speaker 3 59:17 so so he's still trying to invest are still trying to make instruments. But then his lip starts to swell his lower lip and long story short, it's a tumor. He has cancer and his lip. Yeah. And his lip and it ends up growing to a very large like pomegranate size tumor. Oh my god. Very large tumor, making it really difficult for him to live and play. wind instruments. Yeah. Unknown Speaker 59:42 And that can happen. Lip cancer, Speaker 3 59:45 I guess. You get it a lot if you like to tobacco. That's a really common tobacco chewers Unknown Speaker 59:52 gums. Those gum? Unknown Speaker 59:53 I mean, they get both. It's interesting. Unknown Speaker 59:57 Yeah, a lot of people get that little.on their lip Speaker 3 59:59 Yeah. Yeah. But they he after like five years of kind of suffering with it, he had the opportunity to get treatment. And so you could either have it surgically removed, or there was this hot new doctor. Unknown Speaker 1:00:18 This is a weird way to save Unknown Speaker 1:00:21 your doctor. You had a radio station on the go Unknown Speaker 1:00:25 Texaco, Texaco? Speaker 3 1:00:29 No, there was this doctor out of India, who had this like herbal medicine. And he was like, you want to try it? And so he was like, Yeah, I'll try it. Try it. And it killed him. Speaker 4 1:00:42 He died. No, it cured him. It cured the kids are. And so Unknown Speaker 1:00:48 the government doesn't want you to know that though. So Speaker 3 1:00:49 they don't want you Yeah. And so he drank this tea for six months. And as slowly started to go down until eventually he didn't have it anymore. And so not even cancer could kill this guy. And so he survives that. And then he goes on to invent his best invention yet. Wasn't the saxophone. He then went on to invent. I wish there was an image of this that never made it to production. But he's talked about it. So I don't know how far along in the invention process he was with this. Okay, we know, he invented what he called the Saxa cannon, which was what it sounds like actual cannon that he said will be able to demolish a whole city by firing a 10 meter wide round. Weighing 550 tons. I don't know if it will ever work. Okay, so. And it looked like this. That's what I was wondering here is the 13th trumpet thing in that awesome Unknown Speaker 1:02:01 that he wanted mass destruction. Unknown Speaker 1:02:03 Yeah, that's that was. That was his idea from the beginning. He would love the Unknown Speaker 1:02:07 1900s When did he die? Speaker 3 1:02:11 He died and he died of old age. Believe it or not, that's crazy. An 1894. He was 7079 years Speaker 2 1:02:18 old man. He almost made it. He made it. He would love the 1900s dude. Yeah, he was stuffed that they destroyed. He would have been Speaker 3 1:02:25 on the Manhattan Project. Oh, for sure. Like, hey, I don't know what we could use you for. But we'd love Speaker 5 1:02:35 it could you moisten up this bolt for this new key Speaker 5 1:02:45 we only know how to make nukes because of the saliva of x. Unknown Speaker 1:02:50 That's crazy. Speaker 3 1:02:54 Yeah, so that's where the saxophone came from. It was an instrument that was primarily used in combat. In its early days. orchestras picked it up too, but primarily used in combat. And the hard and fast music. Are they? Unknown Speaker 1:03:11 Like, what do you like? Speaker 4 1:03:17 I will. Okay, is it whatever do that again? Okay, do it one more time. No, not that. Speaker 9 1:03:26 Up, up, up, up, up, up. Up, up, up, up, down. Speaker 3 1:03:29 Yeah. Now do it. Do it again. But kind of elongate. Just a little sexy. Unknown Speaker 1:03:33 Yeah. Okay. Do it. Do it. Do it hotter. Speaker 9 1:03:43 Bah, bah, bah. Bah. Bah. Unknown Speaker 1:04:11 I know what it was. I'm a comedian. Unknown Speaker 1:04:14 Oh my gosh. Unknown Speaker 1:04:19 Yeah, dude, that's out. Jokes work. Unknown Speaker 1:04:26 That's good. That's good. Speaker 3 1:04:29 So yeah, many years many moons later. Jazz musicians found the saxophone. And it kind of became a legendary instrument after that. The saxophone is like the electric guitar of wind instruments. There's not a cooler pretty stated Speaker 2 1:04:43 goal when that isn't one of my biggest regrets. I mean, I got good scholarships, because I did low brass. But I wish that I had done saxophone. Yeah, Unknown Speaker 1:04:51 yeah. It's a cool, because it's just cool. You can pick it up. Speaker 8 1:04:55 Yeah, you know, I think that but then I remember a couple years ago, there's Speaker 2 1:04:59 another comedian in Kansas. City who was picking up the saxophone? And it was, it was weird. You know? Like, it's weird when someone Our age is like, yeah, picking up the saxophone. You're like, hey, no, that's that sounds like you're trying to make friends with a sixth grader. Unknown Speaker 1:05:15 No, yeah. No, it's a little weird. It's not it's not bad to have new hobbies. Yeah, get Unknown Speaker 1:05:19 a get a cool one. Like, Unknown Speaker 1:05:21 like trains by train sets. Oh, you know? Yeah, yeah, Unknown Speaker 1:05:28 it's not. There's nothing you know, Unknown Speaker 1:05:31 I'm learning that primarily for war. Unknown Speaker 1:05:34 As I'm learning Chinese Speaker 2 1:05:38 Duolingo. See, that's like, that's all I'm saying is like, it's like as an adult could spend their time doing something different. Yeah, no, Speaker 3 1:05:45 I don't think so. I can learn Spanish, or, but I will say I will say just Speaker 2 1:05:51 say like, you're learning an instrument. The first like, year is you going? Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah. You know, Speaker 3 1:05:57 it's very hard to watch a little it's hard to watch. It's painful. Yeah, that's true. Unknown Speaker 1:06:04 Well, you got a spouse and spouse spouse. Speaker 3 1:06:10 Anyway, so he died. And legend has it that after he went to the grave, they buried him with all of his horns. Speaker 2 1:06:18 Yeah. And his son played a symphony. Yeah, York and he raised from the graves. Speaker 3 1:06:27 But as they came in to reunite for one last time, from after the grave, the from underneath this, this actual pit to the depths of hell opened up and falling into it. This people screaming there's fire blinds. Speaker 2 1:06:45 This is the war I prepared for it. Thought it was earthly war. It was a spiritual spiritual battle.

Unknown Speaker Hey man, what's up? Unknown Speaker Have you ever heard of John DeLorean Speaker 1 John DeLorean John Z? DeLorean John Z DeLorean? Did He create the car? It fit a lot. Speaker 2 Did he? Got it? Stole my thunder there jumped ahead, trying to pocket that for a big reveal later in the Unknown Speaker big reveal hour. And you're not gonna believe this hour to believe this. He's created the door. Unknown Speaker The car is crazy. Unknown Speaker Okay. Did he that was a real question. Unknown Speaker No, yeah, he did. He did. Oh, yeah. Speaker 2 Here's the big John DeLorean. I don't know if I've ever said here's the thing that early in that episode Unknown Speaker is his son, man. I just want to make sure I get the lineage. Unknown Speaker For their heavy skip divers aren't strong. Speaker 1 I don't think some people realize how large my head is. Let me put it to the very last notch that it will go Unknown Speaker kind of like every girl you date is the same. Speaker 1 You see this? Terry? I want you to see this. You see this? See what's happening? Speaker 2 He got famous just for doing his job. Maybe if you're good enough two years ago. Last night Speaker 2 I hate so much that you made a Mandalorian joke, and you've never seen it. You haven't even seen the Phantom Menace. Wow. Speaker 1 Yeah, you're right. Forget it. While we're doing some weird. Today is a day where we're recording on 911. And I flew today and for some reason I've been flying on many nine elevens they're doing good. You're good. You're good. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. This is all right. Alex says no, no, no, you don't have to. Okay, he goes. I don't know. Okay, so it's going through TSA this morning. And it's like their Super Bowl. Today is their day. Oh, God, you know, no, no, listen, like this is their day. There's nothing bad. It's fine. We can talk about it. Someone accidentally said today. You could see the look on their face. They turned white as it goes. Because this lady, we're going through TSA. It's very tense. They're very, I'm telling you like they are like on their game today. I mean, a would make sense. Well, this is the whole reason TSA was was yeah, this is where every teacher you go through has the big thing of like, it's got this ever forget kind of stuff. Yeah. This lady says, I think it's just the pressure of all this stuff. She's okay. Thank you. Is Unknown Speaker she an agent? Or is she No, she's Speaker 1 a passenger. She's a person going through and she just goes happy 911. And you felt everyone go Unknown Speaker watch the airline? Unknown Speaker And they're like, Hey, come back here. I think we need to do a search Unknown Speaker and see your bags. Oh. Speaker 1 It was that feeling that you had when I was like, Hey, we're recording on a day. That's what everyone fell in the hole. Everyone just did you just say Speaker 3 there's people that see 28 that were like, What did you do? It was Speaker 1 like whenever someone says like Happy Memorial Day, and you're okay, you know, it was like, it was like a happy 911. And she was oh, no, I mean, like to watch her fumble was very fun. Speaker 2 Do you think that will happen? Like with what Memorial Day is now like, do you think like when we're elderly? Oh, and like the last generation that I start to Speaker 1 I just think they'll eventually treat it like the way we treat December 7. Pearl Harbor Day? Yeah, just like saying actually. Yeah, I think about that quite a bit, actually. You know, is that that's one of those like, you know, where were you wanting to happen kind of days? And then the assassination of JFK? Yeah. Those are like kind of those tests at an interesting point. But it becomes one of those things that were kind of like, yeah, every year we remember it. Yeah. But eventually, I think it will eventually you don't remember. Yeah, but I mean, eventually something worse will happen. So all right. I mean, historically, that's a cool hat. Oh, yeah, let's plug them right now. It's a great time in golly, no, you made a weird dude. I was just trying to tell a good 911 story. You made it weird. Unknown Speaker That's the clip. That's Unknown Speaker Oh, man. Unknown Speaker Okay, so let's talk about Speaker 1 roads. Or go we don't need roads. You know who else didn't need roads anyway, so, Speaker 3 back to the future. Yeah. I just, it just makes me mad. I was Speaker 1 in it, dude. It was in the future. Speaker 3 What are you trying to say? You're trying to save this. Okay, whatever. Um, so John, Unknown Speaker Michael J. Fox Speaker 3 here's the thing. So he's the car guy, right? John DeLorean guy, John DeLorean. He's the guy who made the car. Let me just I'll take this. Go. Hey, John. I'm struggling big right now. So he's the car guy, car guy. Speaker 2 But he was born in Detroit. Motor City. Sure. Makes a lot of sense. He became a car guy grew up in a home that was not great. His dad was a car man. Speaker 1 He's a car guy. His dad was a car man. His dad before him was a car watcher. All hail the washer. Speaker 2 But his dad was on the assembly line and his trunk, and pretty abusive. And so when he was in high school, his mom left him and took the kids. And he said he wanted to build a life for himself. And he was very into cars, because you know, Detroit, you have to it was it's like, it's like growing up, and Speaker 1 oh, I want to see where this goes. No. Yeah, no, let's let's hear Yeah, go ahead. Speaker 2 Well, I was hoping to come up with something more interesting than this. But when I started this sense, but I was like growing up in Hollywood, like a lot of people are like, I want to be a star. Unknown Speaker People who grew up in Los Angeles are not the Hollywood people. Speaker 2 People who grew up on Hollywood Boulevard like on the Boulevard Speaker 1 yeah, those are not what did you know they're not stars. They are just my hair thing about Hollywood Boulevard is the overweight Wolverine out there. You don't see him like this a guy who's like can't be bothered to stay in shape enough to be like Wolverine, but it still wants you to but he still wants to charge it for a picture. Speaker 2 Yeah. And he'll get that money. Yeah, get that back. So he grew up in Motor City. Yeah, really into cars. So he went to the Lawrence Institute of Technology and got his bachelor's in car stuff. Unknown Speaker He went to Lawrence's Here's an analogy. Yeah. Speaker 2 Which is not what you're thinking. But can we get merch from Speaker 1 that? Institute? It says lit dude. That's kind of tight. That is Yeah, I mean, like Lauren's institution all just kind of cool. Unknown Speaker I'm pulling it through. Dude. Okay, let's do Speaker 2 it. So. So John, he wants he got really into cars, right? Yeah, he was learning how to make cars. Jonathan ology, Unknown Speaker Lawrence Institute of Technology, Speaker 2 got a job for General Motors, building cars and designing cars and stuff and worked his way up the ladder, the corporate ladder. Sure. And he was kind of the early archetype of like the maverick like the Tony Stark. And interesting, I watched a documentary series about it's very interesting. Hearing them describe a maverick in the 60s, versus a maverick in the Tony Stark era. Because they were like, yeah, he he didn't wear a tie. And, Speaker 1 yeah, formed a corporate world. He would put his shoes on Speaker 2 his desk. It's like, okay, not he didn't kick his feet up on his desk, he took his shoes off and set them on his desk. That's a power move. Unknown Speaker Every meeting I go into I go, how are we doing? It does. It's like brothers. One of them, Mel. Yeah. Am I supposed to do Speaker 1 something with that? No, I just want you to know that it would be difficult for me to leave this meeting. That's why I've done this. Yeah. And so I want you to know that I'm not one foot in one foot out this relationship. Speaker 2 That's pretty good. We should make we should turn this into a business custom, like make this part of our business culture. When we do we should really try to win, but we take off opposite shoes, and we put them next to each other in the middle. Yeah. And we don't acknowledge it and just see how many I bet other people if you're in a meeting with like four people, they will do it. Do it for sure. I like this idea. Speaker 1 Yeah. And what we have to define our culture as a company, don't we? Yeah, my Yeah, we should. Yeah, I was gonna say we should make it like that guy on Instagram. Who was like, if you don't have a six pack abs, you can't walk in I'm gonna fire you. And he makes a video where he makes a guy take off his shirt. And he goes on to embarrassed about this. And he was and he's like, Yes, sir. Speaker 2 Yeah, he was he got fired next week. That the shorts more Speaker 1 embarrassing, having a little bit of flap or being in a video where your boss is like, aren't you embarrassed by this? That's way Speaker 2 worse, way worse, way worse. Because you know, like, nevermind. That's a bummer. Yeah. So Johnny gets a job and he works his way up the corporate culture. And he's he's a maverick. He's an early Juric. doesn't wear a tie, doesn't wear a tie. He kicks his feet up on the deck and his own rules. Yeah. And he starts to really see Success. He worked, he worked on the Pontiac GTO. And he kind of spearheaded a new era of like sports car and became, I don't want to say a household name, but a household name. If you liked cars, you know, like if you were her if you were in a car nerd, your whole house knew about him because you talked about him all the time. Okay, everybody in your house was so annoyed. But if you were a normal person, probably hadn't heard of them before. You know, I'm saying here. Hey, I liked that hat, man. Speaker 1 Thank you. I left a small one over there. Do you Speaker 2 need to go? Yeah, I just was looking at this hat and how good it is Speaker 1 okay, so just so everyone can see. Odd Job hats. Fits in my head. Very nice. Regular hat normal hat. I don't think some people realize how large my head is. Let me put it to the very last notch that it'll go. The last notch. Speaker 2 Yeah, the biggest the biggest the head gets just a notch it no notches. Notch free. Can't hold them back. Just wide Speaker 1 open. What's up guys? mean, when you put them next to each other, you're like, those are both just Speaker 2 hats. Your head kind of looks like like, you know, like, you put that on? Like, you know, like the not the part with the slice. But the other part like Oh, Honey Baked Ham. But not the slice. Unknown Speaker Slice size. A ham? Unknown Speaker Yeah, it was like there's a beanie sitting up on top of the ham. Speaker 1 Okay, does that why you brought up my hat is to call me a ham head. No, I Unknown Speaker just say it. It's a good thing. You found odd job hats. Speaker 1 It's a good thing. Look straight. Normal. That looks already weird. Now other Speaker 2 didn't look normal. That looks normal. What I was going for. Alright, though I bring it up naturally enough for Unknown Speaker you. I was great. Thank Good, Unknown Speaker perfect. Speaker 2 So he gets a lot of success making cars. And he becomes like a businessman celebrity. Which is interesting because he doesn't own the company. I was trying to think about this businessman celebrity. Yeah, I was trying to think about this today. Like, like we've got business celebrities out there like but they're all I mean. Like, like Mark Yeah, Mark Cuban. like Elon Musk. Yeah, Grant Cardone. Like they're these household names Unknown Speaker are made by Grant Cardone all the time, because there's so Speaker 2 because they own the company. That's huge. Like, that's how I Mark Zuckerberg. Speaker 1 Yeah. And you couldn't figure you couldn't think of Jeff Bezos. I, Unknown Speaker I said Mark Zuckerberg. Anyways, you are Speaker 1 you heard the interaction we just had, right. Okay, I'm not dumb. You couldn't think of Jeff Bezos. I said Mark Zuckerberg. Okay, okay. That's the tone. Tim talks to me. He's like, so clearly wrong. And he goes, I said, I'm just, that was just such a good representation of our whole friendship. Is you just confidently being like, it's Martin Luther King, Jr. Speaker 2 I'm just trying to nurture our toxic workplace culture. Okay. All right. So, but I was thinking about, I don't know if there is any, like, I can't think of any businessman, celebrities who are not business owners. Like he was famous. He was just like, a, like, he wasn't even a VP. He was just a director of like, engineering. And he became like, like, he was close friends with, like, models and like, actors and actresses. Like he was like, and I don't know, maybe there are people who are like friends with them that are just businessmen. Okay, business women, but they're not like, famous. He got famous just for being good at his job. Speaker 1 Okay. Well, I mean, if your job is designing cars, Speaker 2 I mean, I guess but like, even now, like, I don't think there's a car designer that's like getting on the lake. It's because he was on The Late Show. Speaker 1 Okay, sure. But I'm saying like, but he was representative of the company, though. Yeah, he was the face of a now but now that's what I'm saying is that now has shifted through the marketing era of the 60s and 70s is that it's shifted to the CEO has charisma. The person has to have the charisma to be the face, right? Whereas it used to be the CEO used to be the boring desk job to make everything run and you You know, there was no need or time or you know, there was no need for them to be. And if it's not the Speaker 2 CEO then they hire an influencer. To be sure. Interesting. Interesting. Speaker 1 I mean, it's Wozniak and jobs. You know, Steve Jobs had the charisma side of it, but was Nana did most of the actual? Yeah. And design and work. Unknown Speaker This is interesting. Unknown Speaker It's like you and me. Speaker 2 Yeah. Who's the face of the company? Here? Let's put a cop pick one. Speaker 1 There's a reason I let you put your name and a heck one. There's a reason I let you call it space Tim media. Unknown Speaker Yeah, because I'm very prideful. Unknown Speaker Yeah. So he got famous just for doing his job. Maybe if you're good enough for years, okay. This guy makes waves. Like art next guest tonight. Websites for churches. Companies. Good. They are gearing up for Tim stone quest. Hey, guys, hey, everybody. Speaker 2 And then we have to eat all this weird stuff that he gets out of the spin wheel. Yeah, Speaker 1 that's James Corden. That's not the Jimmy Fallon doesn't do the eating stuff. You have to like hold a snake or Speaker 2 some stuff. Yeah, yeah. Or petting Speaker 1 my luck my luck would be to go on The Tonight Show or one of the late night shows the same night that the safari guy is on there. And I gotta like, pet a tarantula. Speaker 2 What do you do hot ones. Hot ones. Yeah, would you do that? Speaker 1 Yeah. 100% Okay, so I mean like I would clear my schedule for the next like days after it you know, give my body some time to cover Speaker 2 recoup not go to a festival the next day. Yeah. So Speaker 1 the he got he got fame he got a long time and tell the story is why we have doing tangents Unknown Speaker we're doing tangents that's what's making it take a long time to tell the story. Speaker 1 It's because you keep going I don't know who's gonna famous just doing their job well, can you think maybe he's got to do their job well, so he's Unknown Speaker will speed this story up so Speaker 1 he made the doors ago and that's the whole episode. It's all started Can you believe he got famous for that? Tonight Show. Patrick you keep doing your blame me. I said Mark Zuckerberg. Speaker 1 Tell the story. So your parents are getting Trini lately? Your parents are like hey, Gerrans are bullying you it's our workplace culture is part of our children parents like you Unknown Speaker I will say Unknown Speaker okay, I'll tell the story.

All you are is gonna get a job. And so they there was a I don't know the there's there's discrepancies on what happened here. Speaker 2 There's two storylines storyline A is he amicably left the company. Okay. Not sure. I mean, I don't know if that's true. Speaker 1 Swirl on a hammock ruler. Not true. I mean, like, maybe, but it's not. Unknown Speaker That's not what happened. It's like we don't know but we know. It's like the moon landing. Oh, no the truth but we know the truth, you know. Speaker 2 Okay. So storyline B is that he was like pulled out of the office by security We don't want you. I know that wasn't one of the most like, I'm not gonna lie. I got Jared called me the other day, and I didn't answer because I didn't want to talk to you. He left me a voicemail. He was like, he's like, bro, I'm having a crisis right now.

They didn't like and so they kicked them out. And so he dash car. Yeah. dashcam Thank you. He got plastic surgery and reinvented himself. So one on the right is the original John DeLorean. The one on the left is John DeLorean to point out the reinvented with plastic surgery and he Speaker 1 was like, and this is before but they knew what he meant. He's like, can you make my face look stiff? Like Jordan Peterson Speaker 2 long before sort of look at it. But yeah, it is working as hard and as John Yeah, he definitely got some. I don't know. What are all that Botox? Why did he do that? I mean, I think it makes him look a little bit more forceful. Okay, I'm not gonna lie like looking at that chin. Like I didn't know plastic to change his Unknown Speaker nose chin come Unknown Speaker out. Because his Unknown Speaker nose used to curve out Yeah. Unknown Speaker It's a little bit harder. Speaker 1 He looked better before I'm gonna. Dude. I'm gonna say this about plastic surgery is not worth it at all. Speaker 2 I don't know, man. I think he looks pretty sharp. I honestly I was I was about to say Unknown Speaker the post is literally just the post. Speaker 2 No, no, I got another picture of him and his family. Here's he him and his family Speaker 3 are gonna go watch this. If you're listening you need to go watch for this moment because this fixture Unknown Speaker is and they're taxidermied dog. Unknown Speaker Their dog is so mad. Speaker 1 Why did they do this? Yeah, he's got his dog on his shoulder. Hey, looks like this is like this looks like they're all puppets. You know?

Speaker 2 Wow, he met her the first time you ever saw her was on a magazine cover? And then or then he plays assistant he's bringing her? No. Are you serious? I don't know the story. Oh, he does say the first time you ever saw her was on a magazine cover. Well then tell her I don't have a I still Unknown Speaker got my security. Speaker 2 Yeah, but no, I here's what I'm saying. I never thought a plastic surgery jaw can look like I think his jaw looks sharp. I think it looks I think his his post plastic surgery jaw like chin looks better. Okay, well what I'm saying is he as as a person with a weird chin. I'm not gonna lie. Speaker 1 I thought the thing about plastic surgery is that you can just tell. Speaker 2 You tell though. I never knew until I knew. Yeah, I mean like plastic surgery. Okay, no Botox. You can tell plastic surgery sometimes though. Like that shit like that nose and that chin? You can't tell. Okay. All right. Anyways, this episode is not about as Are you out the moon or plastic surgery. So he starts his car company. DeLorean Speaker 1 there. Lorien, Motor Company, DMC Speaker 2 D and C, DeLorean Motor Company. And he gets $17 million in funding from people he knows. And then he goes in, he calls the dude who works for Lotus car company. I needed you to design it, and then a couple of people from GM, and he's like, hey, what if I sniped you from the company? And GM was like, You can't do that. He's like, I'm doing it. And so they they left to start this company and start working on this new dream car. And the concept for this car was pretty ahead of his time. It's like late 70s. And he wanted to he was really interested in fuel efficiency? Because nobody cared about that yet. fuel prices were starting to skyrocket. And so he said, I think the consumer of the future is going to care a lot about fuel efficiency, because fuel is getting more and more expensive. Okay, he was kind of ahead of the curve on that. But he also wanted it to be really stinking cool Unknown Speaker so he came up with Speaker 2 a cost saving tool, but also a cool tool. Cool Unknown Speaker Tool tool. Speaker 2 That's a cool tool. And he was like, he's like, what if we just made it stainless steel? You said we don't paint it. We just get stainless steel. The whole body of the car is stainless steel. We love that great idea. So made the stainless ever Ilan Unknown Speaker was like, let's do that with the Tesla truck. Unknown Speaker Maybe it could have inspired them. I don't know if you see the real Unknown Speaker ones rolling off the line. Yeah, Speaker 2 it looks so bad. Awful, very similar to this. So Speaker 1 oh, if the design is better. Oh, yeah. Interesting. Speaker 2 So they designed this car. here's the here's a picture of a if you never seen it, this is the DeLorean. It's got the column. Speaker 1 The gall doors is the real like seagulls. This is not a design. Yeah, this is a a production doesn't say this is this is what they look like. Yeah. Speaker 2 And this, this, I think rolled off the lot in 8081 8081. They are cool. They announced the concept in the late 70s. And it blew up. Everybody freaking loved it. They thought it would look super cool. And then it was so it was advertised as like a supercar. Like it was gonna be really fast. And it was going to be very fuel efficient, supposedly pretty green, because you're not painting it and it's yours and stuff like that, which was not a huge concern yet, but it was starting to become one for some people. Unknown Speaker They manual or automatic? Actually don't know. Speaker 2 I do know that this was called the DMC 12. And they named it that for something that you're pretty passionate about actually. Can you guess? Unknown Speaker Oh gosh, the disciples Unknown Speaker know, they needed that because the price was $4,000 Speaker 1 I'm pretty passionate about $12,000. Speaker 2 Passionate about companies branding things as the price. Oh, that's true Speaker 1 that a lot freedom. Which was now how much? Is it DeLorean cost? Like, not $12,000 Probably that Speaker 2 I'm looking at $12,000 today. So yeah, the price was about $44,000 Was that their billing? So in today's money, Speaker 1 so call it a DMC 44 And you'd be like, okay, okay. Speaker 2 So is a higher end car but not like super pricey? Yeah. And so to get a what was modeled as like a supercar, and like, it's obviously pretty flashy. hatchbacks weren't really a thing yet. So like, everything about this was cool. Oh, they're hatchbacks? I mean, it looks like a hatchback. I don't know if it's, I don't know if that open? No, that's an engine, the engines back there. Oh, is it really? I think so. I guess I just always assumed that Speaker 1 the cars is what I'm guessing is what I'm gathering from these questions I'm asking you right now. But anyway, Speaker 2 so he built this car, okay. The problem was, they, they did all this promotion for it and advertising the concept and, and it got really, really hyped. And they were they were getting rave reviews. Sure. But he didn't have a place to produce it. And so he started looking for cities or states that would fund a manufacturing plant, because of manufacturing plant is very, very expensive. And he couldn't find any investors to invest in it because they didn't believe that in the late 70s, early 80s, a new car company could compete with a GM or Ford or any of the big computers that were big at the time. They're like, You don't stand a chance. You're never gonna make it in this market. And so pretty much every city and state agreed. So he started going international and asking all these international Unknown Speaker nations. Speaker 2 Okay, good, if they would invest in like tax subsidies or something like that, so he could open up a manufacturing plant there, and he couldn't find anyone. And then he's spending like a year looking for all these different locations to try to build his manufacturing plant because he doesn't have the money for it. Right. He needs a government pretty much Speaker 1 he needs like a tax break. Yeah. So that leaves the money. Yeah. And Speaker 2 then he finds Northern Ireland. And in the early 80s, Northern Ireland was going through what's called the troubles which is kind of Speaker 1 the troubles Yeah, which one sounds like a cool band name. To maybe like a disease that gets passed around from like, children. That's just like, yeah. Yeah, chicken pox and troubles at the same time. Hmm. Speaker 3 That's what I've got to say that my kids got the troubles. Whenever one of them's in trouble, I'll be like don't go around them to kind of catch Unknown Speaker the troubles. Speaker 3 Oh man, toxic workplace culture. So the shoe back. Oh, no. Speaker 1 Okay. You took your other shoe off. I was making sure. Yeah, I couldn't take it. Couldn't take Unknown Speaker hard to have one shoe on. Yeah, it's Speaker 1 just up. But that discipline is what makes me better than you. And that's why you should give me this deal right now. The fact that I've kept one shoe on you don't you took your other shoe off? Yeah, I tell you don't trust me. Trust me, relationship. Take Speaker 2 my shoes. That worked. I didn't take my shoe off yet. But then I was feeling it. I was like, I need to take the shoe. I Speaker 1 just realized that you have tattooed on you. And I respect Nothing you say? Speaker 3 You just realized, yeah, it's been there for a year, a year. nine month Unknown Speaker it matches the one on your shirt. Speaker 3 Doesn't really. That is a pretty good match. You think they modeled it after that? Speaker 1 Okay. Anyway, what was I talking about how he found it in Northern Ireland. He they got the trouble. I got trouble. They got the troubles right here in River City. They got trouble that starts with T which rhymes with D which stands for DeLorean? Hey, that's Speaker 2 a that's right. So the troubles were kind of a civil war, kinda, loosely, maybe, I don't know. Long story short, there had been a very long conflict in Northern Ireland against the UK. Because during the Middle Ages, when Great Britain was being, you know, settlers, they settled Northern Ireland. And they were like, This is ours now. and Ireland was like, No, it's not. And again, it is. And they're like, No, it's not. And then they were like, yeah, it's ours. And also, all of you aren't Catholic anymore. Now you're Protestant. And then they were like, No, we're not. And they're like, Yeah, we are. And then after a little while, they just created this border. And they were like, This is Northern Ireland. And it's part of the UK. And it's not yours, Ireland. And there was a lot of conflict about that for many years. And then in the 60s, there kind of split it Splinter these two groups, the IRA. And then the, what was the word that they, the loyalists, they were loyal to the UK. And so and it was and it was very religiously undertone, because the IRA was all Catholic. And the people who were loyal to the UK were all Protestant. And so there was this. This infighting between the two, and it got pretty violent, and led to a lot of massacres and violence, because massacres. Yeah, there was like, the IRA was like bombing places and like shooting up places, because they were like, you're we're not part of you. Yes. And so it was a very dangerous time in Northern Ireland. And the economy in Northern Ireland was really struggling because of it, because most people were getting hurt, just doing normal, everyday stuff, because there's violence all over the place. And he came, and they said, Hey, Belfast, right now is a very dangerous place. There's a lot of violence happening in there from the troubles. And they said, we actually would love it. If you came in, you built your manufacturing plant here. And they had this dream that UK, and this dream that if we build a manufacturing plant, where the most of the trouble of the troubles is happening, it'll unite Speaker 1 them. Yeah, they're like, the work they can unite around the DeLorean Speaker 2 to to work the worker bowl, employ people from both sides, and they'll get to work together on a project and they'll solve their differences working on this project together. And then also it helps our economy because then there's a big boost the economy, everybody's got a job, everybody's working. Okay? And so they invested multimillion dollars to build this plant and get to work on this, this DeLorean. The problem was, the people who then got hired to work at this plant, had no idea how to build a car. And so they all started building this car, but it was bad. Speaker 1 Yeah, they were like, just the engine going the front of the back. I don't know. I guess I assumed the back Unknown Speaker like, is this are these doors or wings? I can't tell. Oh, Speaker 2 I think they do both. Right. So they, they built these cars, but they were honestly a lot like Tesla's like, panels were falling inside. Yeah, like pieces where we Speaker 1 say we're gonna test all the way out to Sunday. Cool. Yeah. It's further falling apart, Speaker 2 this fall apart. And it was the same content, because these people were not car manufacturers. So like, they could work but like there was just details and things like that, that they were constantly missing. I think Speaker 1 that I think that they were good at it, but they were they just hated each other too much. Yeah, they were fighting. It was one of those things where it's like it's a two person job, but the other person was, Unknown Speaker he was coming back and unstuck. He's like, Unknown Speaker no, let me help you. No, Speaker 2 no, I'll do it. So the cars are not great cars. Sure. And after a year of production, Speaker 1 they are only able to how much does it cost to ship those over the United States like that? Does that Speaker 2 mean a lot of money really hurts? Yeah. So I mean, they ended up retailing for 24,000 double what they were. Yeah. So they didn't change the name, though. Speaker 1 What Tesla did, though, Tesla was like, Yeah, our base model start at 32,000. It's like, okay, but if you want to drive, it's going to cost CCA. Oh, sorry, turning it on cost per subscription plan, which is $2,000 a month. Okay. Speaker 2 And you have to have it for four years. So Unknown Speaker sorry about that. Yeah, Unknown Speaker I forgot to tell you that part. Speaker 2 Same thing, very, very much the same thing. And then these cars ship and they, they kind of sucked. Speaker 1 Okay. They're also design, like, what was the drawings? You said? Were you going to show me that? Speaker 2 I mean, they look exactly the same. But oh, either. You're saying they looked exactly the same. Once you got them in the road. There's zero to 60 time was 11 seconds. What were they advertised? I don't know what they were advertised as well, it was advertised as a supercar. But it's like, yeah, because I don't think anybody took into account how long it takes to get stainless steel up to 60 miles an hour. But the car was Speaker 1 just yeah, looking heavy. Yeah. I'm like trying to do 60 miles an hour here. Right. I see. It's probably 60. So like, do I'm going like Unknown Speaker yeah, there you go. Unknown Speaker As far as 60 Right there, Speaker 3 that's that's 60 miles an hour. You see how quickly I got my arm to 60 Unknown Speaker It's because there's no stainless steel. Yeah, you Speaker 3 put some stainless steel on minus 106. He taught me this was real bad because all that steel in my Oh, yeah. Right. So it was super, super slow. Speaker 3 We haven't recorded this podcast at over a month and it shows I'm listening. Okay, whatever, keep doing your stainless steel hand. But Speaker 2 the car was also a very fragile, the hit that sometimes the doors want to latch sometimes they won't even Unknown Speaker open stayed I'd be mad. Speaker 2 And like panels would fall off. It was it was just not as advertised. It was advertised like this supercar. And it just wasn't it wasn't it was kind of cheap. And so the reputation of the car started to go downhill. And they started to sell not as well as they were, which is crazy. Because before these before these left a lot before production even began. There was pre orders out for them. And the dealerships across the country. Were so backlogged with DeLorean pre orders, but Speaker 1 do they honor the price then if they pre ordered them at like, 12,000? I don't think so. Speaker 1 Imagine you go to buy a car. Yeah. For $12,000. Yeah. And they say, next week, and you go whenever they've made the car and they go you owe $12,000. And you know, I already paid that. Yeah, they go. Yeah, yeah. Oh, Speaker 2 another 12 Yeah, cost. Sorry. cost them a little more. Because, you know, have you heard of the troubles? You know what the trouble Yeah, your car costs board because the troubles Is that like the wiggles or something? I don't understand. Okay, Unknown Speaker it's like a more day. Speaker 2 So they but dealerships had so many people trying to preorder these things and they had such a backlog of pre orders that it got to the point before production even began on the DeLorean most dealerships across the country, were requiring a $5,000 deposit just to preorder and 5000 cash down just a pre order that that was how hot these cars were. And then they come off the lot. And they sucked. And so the reputation like kind of got tanked. And they were having a much harder time to get here and return Unknown Speaker it and ship it back.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and so they were having a hard time getting their money back on that, okay? Or getting people to purchase again after all of that kind of mess happened. And then Margaret Thatcher came into power in the UK, and try to say that name I just don't Speaker 1 know say that they not like that. Margaret Thatcher. I just don't know where it's gonna go. You bring her up? Yeah, she came into power. And she wouldn't be like, if all of a sudden you were like, George W. Bush. And you're like, Okay, Speaker 2 she gave it a power. And she was not a fan of government subsidy, right? And so she was like, No, we're giving you how much money to her. And we're very tight. Yeah. And they were like, they were like, okay, she's actually I'm not a fan of this government subsidy thing. And also, you guys thought that this was going to make everybody closer, like, are you stupid, because it wasn't like there was constantly like bolt holes in the factory and like fights breaking out and stuff like that. Because wasn't it? It was an interesting idea of troubles. It was it was the troubles troubles afoot. And so she shuts the factory down. And she's like, No more. I'm not funding this anymore. She didn't shut it down. But she stopped. Yeah. Shut it down. And so they started laying off workers. And that led him to like a sit in. And so all the remaining workers were like we're going on strike. And it Speaker 1 turns out that the strike brought them together. You know, that led into the trouble, nothing unites all the divides, like some good old anti capitalist Speaker 2 capitalists, and so they go on strike. But it was it was to a point where there's no investors, there was really no one who cared, that they were upset. And so they all ended up kind of getting laid off. And the factory had to shut down. And so now DeLoreans at a spot where he's got all these pre orders for this car. And this car is like his pet project. He's like, very proud of this car. Yeah. And he wants it to succeed. And he's like, desperate to resurrect the factory and Belfast, Speaker 1 this factory. He bought for like, $44 million. He's dead. He's like, That's a lot of money, guys. I wanted to pay 12. Now it's $22 million. And he's like, that's half half a billion was a billion. What? How much was Twitter worth? Speaker 2 Oh, it was a lot. I don't know what it was. But it was a lot. You might be close. Honestly, very similar story. He's trying to make it Speaker 1 work. As I say he's really need this. So he is like, so everyone drives these cars, you gotta pay me $8 a month. Speaker 2 So he's called every investor he knows, right? Every government he knows trying to get subsidies, trying to get investments to say this company. And he's coming up, try. Sure. And then one day, he gets a call from someone he doesn't know. He's like, Hey, I have a business proposition for Speaker 1 you. That I think sounds like you're gonna, it sounds like we know who it is. Speaker 2 And he's like, he's like, I got a business proposition for you. I think it's gonna, it could help you. I hear you're in a tough spot with your company right now. And I think that this could help you reopen that factory and get your car company off the ground. And he's like, he's like, meet me in this hotel room in San Diego. Nisman this hotel room in San Diego. Speaker 1 Is that a thing that people have done in the past? I cannot imagine having a meeting in a hotel Speaker 2 room. Yeah, that sounds like you're gonna admire me meeting. No, Speaker 1 I mean, like, or like, you know, like, yeah, I just couldn't imagine. Yeah. inviting anyone into my hotel room. I get uncomfortable. If anybody's in my hotel room. Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah. That's an interesting point. I don't know if that like last thing. It might have been must have been. Yeah. But anyways, but Unknown Speaker like, if we were on a trip together, I wouldn't want you in my hotel room Speaker 2 at same. Yeah, yeah. Sure. Yeah. Unless you took one shoe. Yeah. Speaker 1 Please take your shoe off. So the shoes, the shoes, your shoe off your shoe, please take the boot. I have these little deputies that you can put Unknown Speaker on them. One is a stupid Speaker 2 lady, too. He goes to this hotel room for this meeting. And he meets with this guy. Long story short, the guy is like, Hey, I've got a bunch of cocaine. And I need you to finance the project. You finance the project? Here's the return, I expect. And I think it'd be like $70 million. Why? And so he's like, he's like, okay, he's like, I'll finance the smuggle. And then it was like $7 million to finance the smuggle what and then he was gonna get like a $70 million return so he could reopen his factory. He was like, this is the best deal ever. This is real. So they pour champagne. They toast and this hotel room. Oh, he's an undercover guy. The doors open. FBI comes in they're arrested. But that's entrapment though. Yeah. And so here's here's the video which sidebar? I don't understand how anybody ever got arrested back then. Because you look at this. You can't tell me that's him? Yeah, this video was too Speaker 1 weak. Last week's jaw, but yeah, so that's entrapment, though, right? So yes. Was he seeking this out? No. So that's entrapment. So this did he get out of this? So Speaker 2 he gets arrested? Because in a two year long trial, and throughout the trial, Speaker 1 because that is straight up. Yeah. So throughout the trial, that's like someone called with a, Hey, I heard you're having trouble making rent, great way for you to make some money. Let's meet up and you meet up and they go, we want you to smuggle a lot of this and you go, I'm desperate enough. Let's do it. And they got you sucker. drachma, you would not have otherwise committed a crime. Yeah, Speaker 2 you're right. So they go through this long trial as he gets off your trial. Bankruptcy has company in the process has to actually declare bankruptcy on the company's legal fees. And Unknown Speaker CIA did this. And that's the conspiracy, I believe. And NASA did this because he knew how colorful the moon was. Speaker 2 And it came out that this guy that he got the call from was someone who was facing a ridiculous amount of prison time. And they made him an offer. They said, if you can help us catch some people, then we'll lighten your sentence. And so he just framed people then yeah, he just started finding people who are desperate and calling on him. And so it took two years. But after two years, they cleared they weren't able to prove it was bankrupted his company after he already bankrupt his company and ruined his reputation. And so after, after the whole thing in 83, his company's gone, his company doesn't exist. Oh, my God, he was on some TV show. And then they asked him, they said, Are you gonna get IV? They're like, are you gonna go back into into manufacturing? And he said, he said, Well, I mean, is it the past few years? He's like, I don't know, how could he said, Would you buy a used car for me? And most people want it because they think they know him as a cocaine smuggler. Because it was all over the news for two years. This mega Maverick. This guy doesn't button his shirt. But he sells cocaine, which we should have known. He never wore a tie. He sells cocaine. Unknown Speaker Oh my gosh, that's a new fear. Speaker 2 Yeah. So well, I'll just don't agree to anything ever. Unknown Speaker If somebody makes an offer, disagree. Unknown Speaker Okay. Speaker 2 So yeah, so he, he got out of it. But he couldn't get back into the car world because of his tarnished reputation. And so he spent well, actually, in this was 83, when he kind of got out of the whole thing. 85 Back to the Future comes out. And they chose the DeLorean to be their car. And he loved it. Yeah. But the DeLorean didn't really exist anymore. Like there was only a few 1000 that ever made. But he he was stoked that they use his shirt. He wrote a letter to Michael J. Fox was like, Thanks for eight but he Unknown Speaker didn't know they were gonna use the car. Speaker 2 I don't think so because there was no license anymore. Like, I think that's why they chose that car. Because no one owned the rights to it. It was a cool car that the company didn't exist, and so they could just get it. And that's interesting. So he was stoked that they ended up using it and immortalizing it and it really was how much is it to buy one now? They on average, somewhere around $50,000? So I mean, okay, yeah. Unknown Speaker You have a car payment on a DeLorean. Speaker 2 It's pretty cool. But then how great cars that's the they're kinda like they're really movie props. You're buying them as a movie prop? Yeah, what it is. Unknown Speaker You're buying them so you can take them to Comic Con. Yeah. And everyone could be like, Oh, cool. It's the car. The thing Unknown Speaker is, it's the time machine. Speaker 1 Here's an even that's like got a time limit on you know, obviously, there's honestly about Elvis impersonators here today. You know, they're almost done right? Speaker 2 So he spends the rest of his life kind of dreaming about getting back into cars and in the early 2000s He starts really making some plans and like drawing some Epson sketches. But in 2005 he ends up dying alone in a one bedroom apartment. With a bunch of sketches for this car, that new DeLorean he was trying to make. Well, here's the rub though. I've never said here's the Rob Speaker 1 I know me and Alex and Connor I can see I can see Connor stage editing with his headphones on and Connor what? Time for a break. Unknown Speaker So he doesn't Unknown Speaker even smoke but he just picked it up. I'm gonna get into this. Yeah. Speaker 2 And his wife asked about hey, Connor got married. Everybody's saying Yeah. Unknown Speaker Hey, congrats. I was just at Connors wedding last night. Yeah, is that different? Katie That was weird. Connor and Katie. Katie Unknown Speaker Oh, I didn't know there was a bullet. It's kinda like every girl you date is the same. Speaker 1 Have you seen this series or you see this? You see this? You see what's happening? Who's the bully? Speaker 2 Yeah. Okay, so here's the rub. In 1985. Okay, the movie comes out. The drawing gets really popular. It was popular, popular already. But yeah, it got a tarnished reputation for a little bit and then the movie revitalized it. Everyone's like, yeah, cars super cool. Remember that car? It was so cool. And it was like, but it sucked. But then I took it and there was like, but the cocaine and then but the car is cool. It's a cool car. Yeah, cuz they were all on cocaine. Car what their car and so some dude in Houston, Texas, started a company called DeLorean Motor Company. Oh my God. He said, Oh, hey, the company's dead. What are they gonna do? And so he started DeLorean Motor Company. And that company, the point of the company was they sold parts. So for people who do buy one who do buy one they and so he went and he found did a bunch of this almost like investigative work to track down all the parts because after the factory shut down, liquidated and liquidated it, and the the UK government actually took a lot of it, and just threw it all over the place. And just threw it everywhere. There was actually a long a long running conspiracy, that because there was Margaret Thatcher and DeLorean kind of had this like feud. And yeah, at the end there. Well, yeah, so shut him down. Yeah. And so there was actually a conspiracy theory for a long time that Margaret Thatcher threw a bunch of the molds for the doors just into the Atlantic Ocean Unknown Speaker herself. Like the Titanic, so strong, the back of the boat. And so Speaker 2 there was this, like conspiracy theory that that was something that happened. And I don't know why, or how, but they proved this in the 90s. Someone scuba dived to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and bound a bunch of the molds for the doors at the bomb the Atlantic Ocean, and that confirmed it. And then in the late 2000s, someone did some investigative when Unknown Speaker they were like, Hey, we made that up. Well, no, Speaker 2 it actually did happen. They did find them at the bottom of the ocean. But what actually happened was they sold them for scrap metal and some fishing company was like, these be perfect anchors for our nets. But they were too heavy. And they just fell. Okay, lost them. And so as kind of true, but not I Speaker 1 mean, it turns out they did get them on the floor of the ocean were skewed because they were actually looking Speaker 2 so far away. It was yeah, it says that unmasked. Unknown Speaker So they have the molds, then Speaker 2 now they're at the bottom the ocean. Well, they're heavy, scuba divers aren't strong. Unknown Speaker Okay, here we see the scuba divers are stripping or where they are, though Unknown Speaker they could get to but they're not as strong as talking about. Okay. So but Speaker 2 this the learning guy, he tracked down pretty much every other part. And he was selling parts until 95. And 95, the government did this interesting thing, where and I didn't know this was a thing. But apparently, before 95 There was laws against small batch car manufacturing, like you had to make a lot of them if you're going to make them really, which is really interesting. But this new legislation went through I wonder why? i My guess is quality. I think my guess is they thought that you couldn't quality control below a certain number, like get the right quality. Unknown Speaker Isn't that the opposite of what would happen? Speaker 2 Well, because of the like, equipment you need to manufacture? Like my guess is like the manufacturing equipment you would use at that small of a number. You wouldn't be able to meet like our standards. That's my guess. But they wouldn't they didn't Speaker 1 think that law was in place to make sure that competitors could Speaker 2 Yeah, probably Yeah. But in 95, they did away with it. And so you could then I think the smallest bachelor allowed was 300. Yeah, Speaker 1 I mean, like, if you're trying to open a restaurant and the government's like, Yeah, well, you can't make less than 3000 Hamburgers a day. Yeah. And you're like, well, that's not you know, there's not that many people in this town. And they go, Well, that's the law. So Donald's putting their thumb down on frickin Yeah. Speaker 2 And so when that law came out in 95, they were like, we're bringing it back. And so it's DeLorean Motor Company, which is not DeLorean Motor Company. Yeah, they release all these concept art for the new DeLorean. And they're like, we're bringing the DeLorean back baby. And everyone was like, wow, and they're like, we're gonna small batch it. Okay. Homegrown from the state of Texas. Okay, but the problem was, the EPA took six years filing the paperwork. And so they couldn't actually get started until 2001. Yeah. And then when did other one rolls around? They got into a new scheme, DMC, which they were like car manufacturing is expensive and really hard but they Like but we own all the rights DMC and so they started. They did like a limited edition Nike, DeLorean Nike. They did what is that? A bunch of merch like Nike shoe. They did like a DeLorean branded Nike shoe. And they all save Unknown Speaker money on the image from the movie. Yeah. Speaker 2 And they were licensing the DeLorean Motor company logo. And into those five, they actually got sued for it from the DeLorean family, because they were like, you can't license this. You don't own it. And they were like, hey, they settled outside of court. And they were like, we own it. And they did. And they weren't they because they were like, well, we you guys didn't keep it. The company went under, and we started a new company called DMC, and they made the exact same logo. And but all that stuff had expired because the company was gone. And so now they weren't the owners of the DMC brand. Okay, so they settled outside of court, they own the brand. Speaker 1 Well, you can get DMC merch on our website, until a.com/merch. And so I own it now. Speaker 2 So they did that for a few years. Yeah, till 2015 When they were like, it'd be cool if we got into EVs, because those are super big right now. And so they decided to make a DeLorean Evie. And this is the concept car for that. Were you supposed to go into production in January this year? This next year? Okay, which I mean, it looks just like a DeLorean. It's, it's kind of cool. Like a classic DeLorean. But it's it's an electric car now. Yeah. And it's a guy who was like a hobbyist who loved the DeLorean. But kind of stole the DeLorean out from the DeLorean family. And so the door and family not to be undone his two kids. These two You see him here, daughter and his daughter and a son. His daughter said we need to keep the family name alive. Yeah. And so she started DeLorean next generation company. And she is en si. She is making her own DeLorean which looks strikingly similar to their as a DeLorean Evie, which is supposed to go into production January this year, they announced it four months after the DeLorean Motor Company announced it and it looks just like the other one exactly the same. It looks like the same car. Speaker 1 Is there another angle of this? No, this is the only angle they've released was just the butt. Okay, here's the rub, though. Speaker 2 Here's the thing with with tip though, is she she? And this is interesting. I'm really interested to see how this pans out for her. Yeah, she started this company. She brought on a lot of the original people because she's got connections to the family. So she brought on a lot of the original designers and people that worked with to produce the original DeLorean. But she instead of starting a business, she started a 5013 C. And so what they're doing is they're building these cars to be a nonprofit and what they're using the the profits for from the car sales is they're doing STEM programs and underprivileged schools. And so she's like, we want to raise up the next generation of engineers is the idea. I'm interested to see how this pans out because I don't Unknown Speaker Okay. Speaker 2 Vitals fishy, but okay, and donate now on the website. Speaker 1 To the Chi see, I see the play. Speaker 2 And so, so she's like, she's like, we're gonna take down DMC, they've been in lots of legal battles with them ever since. Because, yeah, you don't have to look at it. Yeah. And so yeah, so it's the same car. Here's the thing. That's that's his daughter, right? The dog Speaker 3 the dog as a company to wait two dogs dog is making dog and Motor Company. Speaker 2 Butter company though. The son, the son, he started a company, okay? DeLorean aerospace. And he's making this Unknown Speaker guy doesn't even look like Speaker 2 he's like we don't need a car. We need personal jet. And so that's what a two seater? Yeah, it's just in the idea pillar for some Speaker 1 reason. Why wouldn't you? I mean, if you're gonna do all this stuff, why not just make it a jet? Unknown Speaker I think the idea is supposed to be affordable. Unknown Speaker Propellers not okay. It's a vertical takeoff. Speaker 2 So like that thing moves? No. So you can take off vertically. So the idea is that that's not gonna work ideas that you and I we we can have one of these in our driveway. We can just vertically take off from a driveway. This is how we're getting around town that's not going to work. And so he's he's always been the dreamer of the family. I'll tell you right now, it's not gonna work. So there's no three DeLorean companies out there. DeLorean Motor Company, DeLorean next generation company and DeLorean aerospace and motor vehicles. Speaker 3 Mediacom company world All right, let me call it a lawyer. I got a DeLorean immediate fit a lot for I call her lawyer right now.

Things I Learned last night Speaker 3 Amen. Have you heard going on? Skinwalker Ranch. Oh my gosh. Unknown Speaker Are you serious? Is there Unknown Speaker a lot more than 100%? Serious? You've done this. Unknown Speaker No, go ahead. Unknown Speaker Yeah, this is a part two. Unknown Speaker We've covered this. Speaker 1 Okay. I was genuinely worried that you did not know that. We did a Skinwalker Ranch episode. I was about to close your eyes for a second. I was like, Oh, he's He's toast. But I was honestly gonna let you do it. And we were gonna release it is whenever we're afraid I am that you'll do when we're old man. And we still do this podcast. Podcasting is so old. So it's God. It's like It's like it's like a TV sets. It's like no one does that anymore. But we're still doing it. And you're like, just bring Speaker 3 the same story every episode every episode. Same topic. So part two, just Speaker 2 a show called it's the same topic. And we just do the same topic every episode. Would it be a good and see what happens by the end? It's like a game of telephone. It's a game a podcast and see where it ends up at the end if this Speaker 1 is really about Skinwalker Ranch I'm excited because the YouTube comments from the first Skinwalker Ranch episode. Do we have an update for real? We do. Speaker 2 So yeah, we covered this before and after do a full episode. Yes. So we've covered this before in March of 2022 Yes, so yeah, we've covered this in March of 2022 If you haven't heard that episode, now's your chance to go here it's a it's a fun episode I listened to it this morning I forgot how good that episode was Unknown Speaker episodes are good yeah but this except for that one now this you know the one Speaker 2 this one we added a bit and this is a new thing I want to do I did this for the glitter monster in the discord I asked our Discord that draw Oh, I saw that I was using for the thumbnail Yeah, and I think I want to do that. The Skinwalker is another good one. It's like hey guys, can Unknown Speaker you draw this? Yeah, I Unknown Speaker like having them draw stuff Speaker 1 or we have some artists in the discord do we do have some people who are not artists but still draw Speaker 2 like that? Well, one of our submissions came from Mickey Mickey Senate from Excel. She drew it in an Excel spreadsheet so Speaker 1 when I was gonna use for the series, if you don't know what we're talking about discord, what's discord Discord is like, on professional slack Discord is like Ayane Yeah, kind of, but Unknown Speaker it's unprofessional. Speaker 1 That's what it is. But yeah, cuz slack is just discordance. slacks, you know, Unknown Speaker that's actually very accurate. Unknown Speaker It's all it is. Unknown Speaker That's what they should brand and I should Speaker 1 do that. But we have our Patreon supporters get access to our Discord where we're we've been messaging and play games and yeah, they're very funny. They're funny. Are they fun? Yeah, Tim Unknown Speaker I don't think that's good. Walker Ridge if you're here for the first time. Unknown Speaker Oh, shoot. Is this from the UFO stuff? Speaker 2 Kind? Kinda. Okay. Technically, yes, sure. So here's the deal. So if you don't know much about Skinwalker Ranch, and you're free to go back to listen to the old episode, long story short, there's a ranch in Utah called Skinwalker Ranch. And it's weird. Yeah. Speaker 1 There's so all the other ranches in Utah where Mormons are kind of like. Speaker 2 So it's had four owners over its history. There's a guy named Kenneth and Kenneth AB the buyers, a guy named Kenneth, his wife, Edith Meyers owned it. The majority of the life of the proper age. Yeah, from 1934 to 1994. No problems everything normal ranch experience, as far as we know, like as as, think about life on ranch. That's the life that they lived in Utah, a Utah ranch. That's what they had. Have you seen there? My dog? Torch. I did it for the 1996 was Terry and Gwen Sherman. And they had a think about a life in a Utah range. That's not what they experienced. Totally different. Yeah. Unknown Speaker They got spooked. Yeah, they Speaker 2 got spooked. They saw aliens, and monsters and werewolves, you name it, Speaker 1 and then went to Home find the old people who owned it before them and the government was like, Who? Speaker 2 Yeah, those people don't exist. In fact, neither does ranch Unknown Speaker never existed. You're in a field right now. Earth Unknown Speaker isn't real. What's Speaker 1 gaslighting? Real bad? Okay, Unknown Speaker there's no such thing as Earth. What are you talking about? Unknown Speaker Unplug yourself, but what? Speaker 2 And so they made this big deal about it being super weird. Yeah. And a real estate millionaire named Robert Bigelow was like, oh, I want it and so he bought it in 1996. Dude, Speaker 1 here's the thing, man. You know, I want to buy a house just to create some lower. Yeah, you know, and then sell it. You know? Just be like, Oh, yeah. Write a book or to someone got murdered here. Yeah. Speaker 2 All the all the water? Yeah. Speaker 1 Honestly. No. Because you know how much I would pay for the watchers house. Unknown Speaker I would pay a lot. Yes. Yeah. I Speaker 3 mean, how much can you pay? $637,000 $657.06 157 cents. Okay, why did you say okay? Yes, yes. Yeah, Speaker 1 but I'm saying if I had a ranch, yes. If I bought a ranch, yes. Yes. You know, I'd make it like a podcast. Jaron buys a ranch. Aaron Bought a Zoo. And it's on Unknown Speaker its audit. And he built a fort the garage and no Unknown Speaker one. I bought a zoo and no one knew. Unknown Speaker Oh my god, Jared. Speaker 1 Speaking of zoos, my Did you know that? My my I told you what my cousins who owned like a zoo Tiger. Yeah, like tigers. Unknown Speaker Not a zoo. But like, Tiger King Zoo. Speaker 1 Yeah, one of those fake zoos. But they had to get like the Ohio came and took all their animals after that guy who lives in the next county over from them let out all of his animals. Yeah. Yeah. And then Ohio was like, Huh. Anyway, we were in Ohio. And we drove past the property. And I forgot that it's just in a neighborhood. Like, it's just like, I was like, Yeah, it's like, way out in the country. You know, there's a big field on their side. But like, there is no neighborhood. And like, you know how when you're a kid, and you're like, this place is huge. Because you're a kid. Yeah. You're an adult. That's just a lot. It's a it's, it's a house. It's like a double lot like they got two agents heard their yard into a zoo. And I forgot they did that. Speaker 2 And it's like, a garage sale. They got signs on all the streetlights Speaker 1 this way and they sell tigers. You know, I'm talking about. They were very kind to their animals. Yeah, Unknown Speaker they had masking tape on their paws. $3. Speaker 1 Yeah, it was like peeling off. I tried to haggle. I was like, Come on, go out. Six hours. 57 cents, you know, anyway. Okay, so Robert Bigelow, there's a property in Utah. And there's some sketchy stuff that they claimed happened, but the old people never experienced it all people never experienced it. And then these periods when this rich guy was like, I want it because of the weird stuff. Yes. And so he that's what I was trying to say. Speaker 2 Yeah. So he founds the knids, which is the National Institute for Discovery Science. And the idea was I'm gonna hire a bunch of paranormal people to investigate this Speaker 1 not yours use the lids store that just sells small Hey, cool hat Speaker 1 this episode sucks. If you found this podcast and you have no idea what's going on, they call back. Speaker 2 Okay, Robert Bigelow, he buys it starts the NIDS for a couple of years, nothing really happens. And then it's kind of Speaker 1 like dang it. They made it up to sell me this house. Speaker 2 Well, it's really quiet. And he's, he's publicly saying like, yeah, we're not really seeing anything happening there. And then a few years later, and I think 2004 a book releases called Skin walk. Unknown Speaker I think I don't remember where Speaker 1 you came. That first episode was so confident and you just called Unknown Speaker I know. Speaker 2 I know the name of the SEC. Oh, hunt for the Skinwalker okay. I was gonna call it the second we could Speaker 1 do as a skin. We could do like a, we could do a podcast on skin. We're trying to figure out a true crime podcast. Yeah. Speaker 2 Hunt for this podcast comes out. And it is a full book of the craziest stories you've ever heard. Yeah, werewolves and dinosaur beavers, and UFOs. And ghosts and portals and skinwalkers is just insanity. And it's like, wow, I thought a couple years ago, nothing was happening. And then the knids mysteriously gets shut down a couple years after that. And by who? By them by the NIDS. Okay, they realized skinwalkers they came up with their cookies. Like, hey, we know I mean, Unknown Speaker like the government didn't shut them down. Unknown Speaker Okay, allegedly. So they get shut down. And then in 2016 Unknown Speaker So I was trying to do what you do with your nose over here. Blowing into the microphone the whole Speaker 2 time. It's my T stick. What was it? So in 2016 router bigla sells it to Brandon fugal. Google is like Unknown Speaker there's a lot of stuff happening here. He's Speaker 2 another real estate millionaire. Who's just building a bunch of stuff in Utah. Yeah. And, but he is a lifelong Mormon. And he's not as I mean, he's interested in the paranormal, paranormal stuff, definitely into sci fi and things like that. But for him, the bigger part of the goal is if he can prove that there's paranormal activity happening there, then it proves the existence of God because if there's demons, then there's got to be a god. So that's kind of his angle. He immediately has motivation. Yeah, he made it goes and trademarks Skinwalker Ranch as a media brand, and then they release the Skinwalker Ranch TV show on History Channel right and follow the whole story. We covered this in our last episode, and we basically were like this is a stupid idea except for all the alien stuff the alien stuff super legitimate but all the rest of it is super stupid. Yeah. Unknown Speaker Yeah. Except for the part about God. Unknown Speaker So there's Stephen Green Street. Speaker 1 Okay, sounds like a young adult author. Kinda. He's 44 years tell the audience you don't read a middle aged adult? No, he will write I know what you're saying. Okay. Okay, whatever Unknown Speaker it's called a joke. Speaker 1 was a good one, buddy. Thanks. So he is a jerk logical leave one star reviews right there. He's a journalist for The New York Post. Joking around too much. I'm sorry comedy podcast. I like more seriously Speaker 1 in my eyes right now. Okay. Do you drink it wrong? A little bit. I'm so worried. What did you just say? Unknown Speaker I feel the caffeine. Unknown Speaker You know, he's a journalist for who the New York Speaker 2 Post. Okay. And he has for a long time at a series on on YouTube on the YouTubes called basement office. Okay. And this series he brought on the lease Elizondo. That's the only name that comes to mind. A bunch of UFO people. All right, to talk about UFOs and aliens and things like sure big fan of UFOs and Unknown Speaker aliens was the aliens guy, you know, talking about Speaker 2 oh, the guy from Ancient Aliens. Yeah, last name. Okay. I just know he's been a big proponent of aliens and stuff. So he digs into remember the big UFO report in like 2018 with the Tick Tack UFO and all that stuff? Unknown Speaker Yes. Speaker 2 A big part of that was Louise Elizondo, which I'll show you a picture of him actually, I think, Okay, let me grab a picture so you can jog your memory on him. A lot of people call him Lou. Speaker 1 I don't know who he is. I'm gonna tell you right now. I don't know who he is. I Speaker 2 guarantee you're gonna recognize him. I won't guarantee it. You guarantee I'll recognize guarantee. You're gonna recognize him. You're you I could not be more confident that you're gonna recognize this guy. Hold on. Let me get a recognizable picture of him Speaker 3 really selling it. Oh, nine that doesn't look anything like I wanted. You wouldn't recognize. That doesn't look anything like. Unknown Speaker Let me get someone who looks like someone Unknown Speaker stop stop right now Unknown Speaker Oh, not that one Unknown Speaker I just had that in my first center. trifle. Speaker 1 Oh, ever since he offered me those tickets aware jam. I do recognize this guy. Yeah, he was the basis of skillet. Unknown Speaker That's actually I think that was what he did before. Speaker 2 Now so Lisa has no idea who this guy is not recognizing No. Do you watch TV? Yeah, Unknown Speaker I don't watch the same TV that you watch on Fox Unknown Speaker News before? Unknown Speaker What is he any news? He's Unknown Speaker been all over anyways. Unknown Speaker So watch the news. Yeah, let Unknown Speaker me get let me get Speaker 1 stopped don't what? What are you doing getting a picture of him on the news? Unknown Speaker No, I'm just getting a picture of him that you would. Unknown Speaker Okay. Speaker 3 Do you guarantee this one as well? No, Speaker 1 apparently not. Apparently, it looks like this guy looks like in I managed this in a good way. Like he looks like a guy who's been a youth pastor for 30 years. Yeah, yeah. You know, I'm saying Yeah, he does, actually. And like, it's rare to find those guys. Sometimes I'll do shows. And like, I'll go to a church and the youth pastors again, been doing this for about two decades when the youth has like no aspirations to like, because a lot of people treat youth ministry like a ladder. Yeah, yes. Step toward a different position. Yeah. And I love it when I run into somebody who's like, oh, no, I love students. And you're like, oh my gosh, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm gonna know any of these guys. And then I know Slenderman in the middle Speaker 2 Yeah, that's a couple defense contractors in the middle of them is how put off you might remember him from the remote viewing episode. He's the guy. Speaker 1 This is the guy speaking. Yeah. Is I believe, could tell me if I'm wrong. I think he's in the President's show at Disneyland, you know, talking about is that am I wrong? But he looks like he would be one of the robots. Speaker 2 Now that's Christopher Mellon, who used to be deputy assistant secretary of the defense for intelligence just on Speaker 1 body language. Can we just go off body language? Go off of it? Okay, so guys speaking we've got closest VR together. Okay. He's a big old nerd dude. Unknown Speaker He's a animatronic. Yeah, that's Speaker 1 what I'm saying. He's not his legs do not move. That Speaker 2 does not real I realized I couldn't say half of that quote after I Speaker 1 started. Oh, I just started to go as you started to not real. The airplane late. I Unknown Speaker did. I did that that Speaker 1 person is not real sure. Second guy's dad super rich. Yeah. He's not but his dad is rich. Like that's, you know, close. Guys, Lou Lou is like the bad boy of this conference. Yeah, Louis just like, yeah, I believe in aliens. And I'd love to cage fight. One guy next to him straight up is like a vampire. And when he speaks, it's like, all yod believe in aliens. And then the guy next to him is his handler. Yeah, he's like, he's like, what do they call that a familiar? And then the guy on the end is just a billionaire who bought his way onto the panel? You know, I'm talking about Yeah, the guy in the middle freaks me out. Scares. He's Unknown Speaker very scary. You should be scared of him. Speaker 2 I am to know Okay, so you are close, actually. So the first is Chris Mellon. So he was the Deputy Secretary of Defense under the Clinton administration makes sense. We'll skip back for a second then Louis sounds and Elizondo we know him. And then the next guy you're right is for forever. No, I'm pretty sure that when Steve justice and then how put off you might remember him from our remote viewing episode. He's the bend spoons guy and see things on on Mars. Okay, but he was an actual government contractor. Yeah. And electrical engineer and then the last guy I'm pretty sure is Chris miser. All government ties first miser government contractor worked with. I don't think so. I'm not a super rich guy. They I worked with I think skunk works, but don't quote me on that. I'm not much. Speaker 1 I hate to be like a 997 millionaire. You don't sound like you're just so close. I mean, I Speaker 2 would just call myself a billionaire at that point. Yeah, well, okay. I mean, at my point where I'm at now, billionaire. Yeah, I'm a billionaire. No one's gonna check. Unknown Speaker According to the internet, I'm worth like a lot. Unknown Speaker Yeah, yeah, it's true. Those are always like, way off. Unknown Speaker Super underreported. And then Unknown Speaker I don't know if you know this, the guy on the left, the one that dad's rich. Yeah, that's Tom DeLonge. From blink 182. Is it really? Unknown Speaker Okay? Yes, I'm being serious. Speaker 2 This is Tom DeLonge is company to the stars. Media is his company that he started. And he put together this team of all star. Unknown Speaker He's an adult contractors. Speaker 2 I know. It's so interesting seeing him in here being super professional, because if you watch them in any of his shows, he's not. Unknown Speaker But he's so intently listening. Speaker 2 Yeah, he's serious. In this same in this same press conference. This was the first press conference that they did with it. When they said you're fine. You know what it Speaker 1 is about the vampire guy? What it said everyone else is looking at the guy speaking. He's nine. He's just not. That's what it is. He's also someone else's like, Oh, yeah. And he's just Unknown Speaker there's someone in the crowd is like, is he looking at me? Unknown Speaker Everyone's crossed. Versus like, I think he's staring right at me, right? Why is he doing that? His eyes have that effect. You know? Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying. Wherever you're sitting in the room. It looks like he's looking at you. Man. Spooky guy, man. Yeah, Unknown Speaker not pictured in the shot is the queen hanging Unknown Speaker upside down from the rafters empty chairs. Speaker 2 Now in this in this press conference, this was the first time we saw the tic tac video. They leaked it, which was before it was declassified. The government was really mad about that. And then a year later, they're like, Fine, that's ours. Tom also in this video, he was like, he's like we're building our own UFO. haven't seen that yet. But Speaker 1 we're building our own UFO. Yeah, that was one thing that he said our companies do building something and we can identify it. We means you're building a revenue. Oh, Isabel, you know what it is missionary? Identify. It's a flying object Speaker 2 using the technology that they've uncovered. I guess this? Sure. So Louise Elizondo ends up becoming kind of the de facto face of this company. Even though it's Tom's company. Tom was busy being a rock star, which he quit his band. I mean, he still had angels and airwaves and but he was like writing kids novels or something. I don't know. He wants He's Unknown Speaker not a kid though. Unknown Speaker Right kids novels as a grown adult. So Speaker 2 Musa was kind of the de facto face of his company. Okay. And he goes on this press tour. Yeah, talking about UFOs. And he is making pretty strong claims that the the things that they've looked at are evidence that there's something else out there, that's not a nonhuman origin. Okay? This leads to the Pentagon putting together a special committee, eventually becoming a whole new program, multimillion dollar program to investigate these unidentified flying objects. Okay. And that's still in operation to this day, as a result of what this group did was tell us onto his background. A little bit about him. He was in the military, he was in counterintelligence guy went on to the Pentagon, and was the director of a program called a tip the advanced aerospace threat Identification Program. And he headed up this program, the whole purpose this program, it was a Unknown Speaker um, I guess. I'm trying to think of the right word a secret, it was a secret program. Unknown Speaker Okay, I wasn't gonna say secret, but that Speaker 2 I was like, I'll just say secret is a secret program in the Pentagon to look at all of these cases of UFOs and be like, it's actually alien or it's just like a balloon or something, you know? Okay. And that was his job. And so he's coming forward as like a whistleblower now talking about all this stuff. And income Stephen green St. Stephen green shoots talking about all this stuff. Over the past few years, we've had all these explosive like, here's this video. Here's this video. Here's the stuff. Here's this guy in the military who's talking about what he's seen or whatever. Sure. So Stephen Green Street started digging into this a little bit, and he discovers something's awry with this story. It all okay, so Luis Elizondo, he was the head Unknown Speaker of St. Louis CK. I was like, How is Speaker 2 ck you know how Jason Bourne is an FBI agent. Speaker 2 Okay, stand up. Comics is the same thing. No one suspects the funny guy. Speaker 2 So a tip Yeah. Was the program that super secret Luis Elizondo was heading up. He was the program director. And he claimed that they had $20 million with the funding, founded in 2007. Speaker 1 He claims all this, yes. When documents approve this Unknown Speaker kind kinda Speaker 1 like any, I guess anybody really could just be like, I did some serious work for the government. Okay, so the government isn't gonna be like, oh, Speaker 2 so Well, look, this is where we're heading. So in 2017, he leaves in three years later, he joins are now in 2017, he leaves to join to the stars Academy, and starts becoming the face of Alien Disclosure, basically. Okay. And in that process, everyone was like, this is the former director of a tipped a super secret program at the Pentagon. We have record of him working at the Pentagon, we have a record of him working in counter intelligence, and being a very high ranking officer in the DOD. However, we can't find anything about at it. And the story that's told is that it's because it's a super secret program. Sure. It's releasing the information about a Tim specifically, Unknown Speaker but also he does make it up. Speaker 2 So Stephen Green Street does some digging in Oh, along with a handful of other journalists outside of his specific like in his network, but not for the New York Post. Other journalists he's kind of worked with. And so he starts doing some digging, and he finds that he was a part of a tip but the the reporting on a tip was very misleading, especially in those early days where the abbreviation a tip was correct. But a lot of people were messing up what a tip stood for. And so there was advanced aerospace threat Identification Program. Advanced aeronautical threat Identification Program, okay. Advanced airborne threat Identification Program. So the advanced aerial threat Identification Program. So all these different versions were that A was different. And so people were submitting these FOIA requests from the government, and it'd be like, that doesn't exist. Because everybody was getting it wrong. Sure. But nobody knew that at the time. Everyone's just like, the government's denying that this is real. And it's they weren't denying they were just like, yeah, what you asked us for doesn't exist. Instead of being like, Oh, hey, here's the thing you're asking. There's like, that's not real, which is pretty convenient. Speaker 1 I'm saying like, if I'm the records department, and someone puts in now that my job you know, saying like, that's not my job. Speaker 2 You look at it. Look through your files and you see it you're like it says that I Speaker 1 did a gig. And I got a check that was made out to Jason Myers. Yeah. With my or spelled incorrectly. Yeah. and Bank of America would not deposit it, because neither name matched. Yeah. Yeah. They're like this isn't you? Like, it is me though. You know me? Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah. And I constantly deposit checks that are not even close to my name. Unknown Speaker I just find them Unknown Speaker fine checks. Speaker 2 They say if you find a $20 bill on the street, it's yours. If you find a $2 million check on the street, it's yours doesn't matter Speaker 1 at the store. And, and I got backed over my bicycle. And I was like, Hey, mister, you got to pay for that. And he wrote me a check. but forgot to fill out the amount of part because he was like, in a rush or something. Yeah, he was a busy man. And I went home, and I put in $1 million. Unknown Speaker And they cash that. Yeah. And they said, okay, Speaker 1 and I bought it at the grocery store. And I had an inappropriate relationship with a woman who should not have been anywhere near 13 year old kid in that movie. Speaker 2 So long story short, after a giant rabbit trail of trying to track down this eight tip program. Yeah, what they discovered is that a tip was never in its name. A tip wasn't a nickname that it got. And the reason it got the name is because Senator Harry Reid was heading up this a tip program. He was the person in Senate that said, let's do this. And so he realized that there was some I don't want to say sketchy things that were happening, but things that the government probably would be like, stop giving money to this. And so he was like, we need to kind of get shadowy here. And so he made another name for it, called the advanced aerospace threat Identification Program, a tip and started calling it that and had everybody in the program start calling it that, to kind of keep it a little hidden Speaker 1 once we made a shadow company, basically, to keep getting funding from the government. Speaker 2 Sort of it came out he made I mean, it was still it was still ginamit we made the zba it kinda but it wasn't there was nothing on paper, there was no paperwork. So there's no paper trail, okay, it was just in every document in every document talking about it. He would call it a tip. Speaker 1 Yeah, it's like, kids from my school, his name was biscuit. Like there's no paperwork that says the name is business. Yeah, but everyone knows him. But he showed up one day, it was like I'm biscuit. And we were like, all right. Unknown Speaker If that's what you want to be called, Unknown Speaker he ran real fast one time we call him biz quick for a week. Fast kid, Speaker 2 the real name of the program was the advanced aerospace weapon systems app application program, or aos app, Unknown Speaker or SAS. Speaker 2 app. So this program is interesting because this program was founded in 2007. And in 2008, they put out a request for proposals for defense contractors to earn $22 million to investigate. Specifically, this is what the document Unknown Speaker defense contractors, how do we get into that Speaker 2 lie? They put out a request for bids to research weapons systems that our adversaries have, and predict where they will be in 40 years. Technologically. That was okay. I searched it, I see it as a contract. So they put out this request for bids in 2008. Weirdly, this request for bid comes out in 2008. But in 2007, Robert Bigelow's company, Bigelow, aerospace wins that request for bid a year before it comes out. So something sketchy here is happening already. Unknown Speaker What do you mean they win the bid? So Speaker 2 typically, the request for bid comes out, all the companies are like, here's what we'll do, here's how much of a cost and then they award it to one of the companies. Sure, a year before the request for bid even comes out. Speaker 1 The government rewards it to Bigelow Yeah. before it ever and then in 2008. They're like, Speaker 2 they're like, here's a request for bids. And then they're like quietly like, we already give this to somebody. Yeah, yeah. Bigelow was a campaign funder for Harry Reid. They were close. They're tight. They was always been tight. So it's pretty clear that Bigelow was like, Hey, I got a cool idea. I need $22 million. And Senator Reid was like, sweet, you got it. And then a year later, he was like, shoot, I just gave 22 Lidar is this guy for no reason. And so he puts out this request for bid. And then let it sit for a minute and pulls it back to kind of have a paper trail of like, oh, yeah, we gave it to this guy. He want bows a year later, he gives them $22 million. Okay. And that's where it needs comes from. And so knids began studying Skinwalker Ranch. And it's really point $2 million from the government. Yes, dang. And so we got to Unknown Speaker start being corrupt. Unknown Speaker Like I corrupt knowledge that, but that was a great line. Thank Unknown Speaker you snuck it in there. It was good. Speaker 2 And so Robert Bigelow takes that $22 million. And he hires a team of wacky voodoo scientists. Yeah. Unknown Speaker Sure. LinkedIn. Well, Speaker 1 I am a aerospace engineer. Yeah, I am a neurosurgeon. Yeah, I'm a wacky kind of guy. Okay, well take. Speaker 2 But yeah, all the scientists were it was how put off the guy who did the remote viewing in the 70s. It was UFO research. Speaker 1 Tom DeLonge. Blink 182. It's not the kind of group that instills confidence. You know? Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah. And so they start studying Skinwalker Ranch, and they're finding nothing. But there's a report from a security guard that he had hired, and the security guard did an interview with Steven Green Street. And he said, the culture was really rough. And he said that nothing was happening at the ranch. And everybody knew nothing was happening at the ranch. But every day we had to fax reports of what happened at the ranch that day to Bigelow Bigelow lived in Nevada, so wasn't even on site facts. Speaker 3 That's what affects is he wasn't finishing the email with facts, nothing. Facts. That's my new signature big facts. Speaker 2 Now, he was often in Nevada and so every day he's getting these reports that nothing's happening at the ranch. And he's getting real mad. He's getting Speaker 1 tearing the paper out of the fax machine. Well, years this 2007 They got an email too late faxes. It's a way to catch aliens with a fax machine. That's what I'm saying. You got $1.2 million from the government bro. Invent slack or something? At least discord You don't gotta make it professional. You know? Unknown Speaker You're right, you're right. But yeah, he's Speaker 2 got these facts says every day sure that say a big hello. Nothing's happening. And he's getting really upset. Yeah. And people started to feel like their jobs are on the line. And so people started just lying and just making stuff up and faxing it off and being like, we saw Donald beaver today. And he'd be like, Good job, guys. You found it you found something new like we saw a wormhole open up and a bunch of interdimensional creatures started crawling out of it. It was crazy. We Speaker 1 saw Dinah Weaver today. Delivered that. How was work today? Uh, you know, I don't know. I was like, 15 minutes late. Traffic was ridiculous, dude. And like my lunch. I had microwaved it. But you know, when the microwave in the middle is still kind of cold. So frustrating. So Dinobot. Backup. Oh, and that was bad. What could have caused that we live in the middle of nowhere? Yes. Skinwalker. Ranch. So because Speaker 2 everybody started out as lying. Yeah, they're trying to keep their jobs. Yeah. And then one of the, Speaker 1 you know, that's what our team does as well. They lie to us to keep tabs. There's one team member who's supporting us like $1,000 a month on Patreon just to make us believe we have Billy supporters. Speaker 2 Yeah. And he made like 20 different accounts. Speaker 1 Yeah, no, he already had those accounts already watches on YouTube. So it boosts our views. Speaker 2 You know, yeah, that's, I mean, I think you're Unknown Speaker and you're a jerk to him every week Unknown Speaker our work culture is terrible because of you. Yeah. Unknown Speaker Well, it's because we don't have slack. We're faxing. Unknown Speaker Teams not getting them. A fax machine, your fax machine. It'll be like a restaurant Unknown Speaker go to the store. Buy tomatoes. We're not gonna have enough for this. All we serve is just to make the best restaurant that just wasn't very good. Ketchup. You want a raw tomato. We will do anything with it. We'll add the right to the cow. Yeah, can I get three raw to me? Why Unknown Speaker tomatoes? Is that Celsius hidden your eyes? What's going on? eyeballs, man. All right. Restaurant. Wouldn't we just be alright? The farmers market. So we're like we're like sabotaging other tomato booths Speaker 3 we're the only tomato guys in town. Okay. Hey, we do one of the tomatoes. You know that right? No, Unknown Speaker no, we're the tomato, tomatoes. If you want to make Unknown Speaker those, two of Speaker 2 us Yeah. And our names are both made Unknown Speaker out on paper, Speaker 2 paper legally we'll never be able to find that. But as far as you're concerned and as far as anyone's concerned, it's made a lot of people think we're in NATO, but we're not related. We're not related to NATO. So Speaker 1 I'm angry at how much time I've wasted Okay, so I'm angry listening back to this later on. Right now Unknown Speaker you're in your car on your commute, driving to another. Unknown Speaker The red light just stuck a bucket out and Unknown Speaker get that book and I like gar get that out of my face. Hey, thanks for checking Speaker 2 out this episode. If you liked this, we've got a lot of great ones. Let me recommend a recent one hitch bot. Basically some Canadian scientists said what if we made a robot that hitchhiked across the country you think it can make it SPOILER ALERT it's a fun episode. I like it a lot. You can need to check it out. One of my favorite recent jokes is in there. So check that one out but if not, thanks for being here Unknown Speaker so one of the program directors isn't as cold Kelleher, another one of the Voodoo wacky scientists man. Speaker 1 Yeah, I'm a wacky guy. I don't know Dr. Wacky. Unknown Speaker You get to last you got to surgery. You're sitting there the scrubs or whatever they give you back. Speaker 2 Like they do where they like roll the wheels in. And then they sit like with the thing in front of the back in front of them. Yeah, man. It's me. And he doesn't one of the elbow arm shakes. Because he's gloved up. He's scrubbed up so he does want to sleep. Well, not a lot of bodies slip. He does one of those. Like, I can't shake your hand but I can elbow tap you like we all did in COVID. And he's like, Hey, I'm a wacky guy. Unknown Speaker Dr. Wacky All right. You recording Unknown Speaker so called Kelleher? Speaker 2 I don't know if he was an actual like on site director or if he was a remote director kind of like Bigelow was Yeah. That he goes to George Knapp. Do you know who George Knapp is? George Knapp is the reporter who broke the Bob Lazar story, okay, and so he and he ever since Bob Lazar has been a huge alien reporter guy, sure. They co author a book. And it's that book hunt for the Skinwalker show science confronts the unexplained on a remote ranch in Utah could have left the last part off, but it made it sound more smart. Okay, and so it's this 300 page book of stories of things that they've seen at the ranch, but no evidence, no pictures, no proof that they talked about all this data that they got and they don't present. I know beaver. There's no work cited. There's nothing in this book of substance other than just interesting stories. They put that book out. And a guy at the Pentagon reads it. Speaker 1 I hate that there's people who work in the Department of Defense then they make sure our country safe and in his free time not even his free time probably on the clock is reading about Skinwalker Ranch. If you're a government employee listening to this episode, I don't care what level of government ploy maybe you're the president. Yeah. Joey or maybe you're you drive a city bus all right, all the way down. Whatever level of government employee you are. Quit doing this. We're Unknown Speaker not for you. Be a professional. Listen to boring podcasts. Yeah. We're not a new source. We are a new source or more of a content bug. Speaker 2 You notice are you doing some Jeremy Jeremy lucky ASCII. I think that's how you say his name. Sure. Jerry McCaskey, he reads the book and he's like, Oh, this is we need to look more into this works with Harry reading, he becomes the director of OSS app. And he starts leading the research and they go hard and a Skinwalker Ranch, trying to figure out what's going on a year after he takes out the rain. The rains uses Skinwalker Speaker 1 Ranch, just so you know. And I would love it. If they did a music festival. I Unknown Speaker didn't rocker. Good idea. Unknown Speaker That's a good idea. Speaker 2 That's what the trademark is for is media stuff. Yeah. So that are set up already for it. So a year later, the Harry Reid is sudden around this a tip stuff. He's like, he's like, Okay, this is getting a little crazy. I need to get special make this a special access program. So you have to have the highest level clearance to be a part of this. For a lot of reasons. One of which being this is getting really weird. I don't want anyone digging in our affairs. Sure. Unless I can kind Unknown Speaker of control who's Yeah. Speaker 2 And so he applies for a special access program, and it's denied. And when he goes to that SAP process that that means and it gets a dime, it goes out to the whole pentagon, I think that's something that they do where if like you start a project at the Pentagon, and it fails, they said Speaker 1 hello, Pentagon team. We just wanted to inform you that someone in the bill tried to keep some secrets. Well, we'll have you know that that's not allowed here. Unless we say so. Signed by the Pentagon. Facts. Speaker 2 Enter, you're about to send 230,000 recipients are you sure you want to do that? And everyone sees it, enter, enter. Speaker 1 The contents of this email are confidential and Speaker 3 do not tell anyone except for the 230,000 people on the street. at the Pentagon is Speaker 1 230,000. Are you been in the Pentagon? No. Unknown Speaker Oh, the subway. Unknown Speaker I have been to the Pentagon. Unknown Speaker Inside they do tours. No, they don't. Yes, they Unknown Speaker do insecure. They do. Look, look at our cool thing. Unknown Speaker My grandma took me she loves this country. She took me. Yeah, we did a tour. Speaker 2 Okay. So now the whole Pentagon knows about offset and a tip. And the whole Pentagon was like, why are we spending taxpayer dollars on this? And they were like, also, we can't let anybody know about this. Because they were like, This is ridiculous. Yeah. So they shut the program down. They lock it up. Couple years later, McCaskey retires couple years after that Harry Reid dies Unknown Speaker is old age it had nothing to do with the Pentagon. Speaker 1 Oh, is that what you were you were trying to find something? I thought you were just pausing for dramatic effect for some reason. I was like yeah, he died. You want to see picture you went? He went he died Okay, Unknown Speaker so So Speaker 2 this program gets shelved, and it's gone. Meanwhile, Louise Elizondo is working at the Pentagon and he reads the email he gets he's on the blockchain with everybody see and how much it flopped. And he's like email Unknown Speaker just Louise Speaker 3 DICOM they couldn't get no I said go. They gotta get go. They couldn't they couldn't even get cob. It's just org Unknown Speaker Please, is it available? Speaker 1 Might you say that? Is it available? Why do you say that like a church puppet puppet ministry was really big 2006 baby Moses do Speaker 2 next available? Pentagon dot law is that sounds like that shouldn't be but it's expensive. All the Pentagon, Speaker 1 Pentagon dot music. Think about putting out an album. Speaker 2 What about pentagon? pentagram.gov that's a thing. Okay, so we saw his on a few years later, it gets shut down and he was like, remember that thing that broke? That didn't work out for anybody. We're only Unknown Speaker fans.gov. It's a payment subscription where you get to see all this. Speaker 3 You get an email. Whenever someone doesn't get a special access program. You're added to the list. Subscribe to our mailing list. Unknown Speaker I mean, I guess it is Because of content, you know? Unknown Speaker So they, he's like, he's like, Speaker 1 we got an ancient start one. And only fans. Yeah. Because they, they want us to Hey, they've been asking us, they want us to do Unknown Speaker just like that other YouTube All right. So they Speaker 2 we saw zondo is like remember that thing a tip that got shut down. He's like wouldn't be cool if I did that. And so he gets permission his boss to in his free time. Head up a new eighth tip, but it's not an official program, right? It's a hey, if I am here at the office and like there's nothing to do can I look at alien pictures model Speaker 1 trains? No one's know why you don't need the Pentagon's permission to do it. You know, it's a he's like he's but you can. Speaker 2 It's like if it really what it was is like, Hey, is it cool? If I look at pictures of aliens and his boss is like, I don't care. That's really what it was. Okay, and he was like, it's a tip and Speaker 1 eat nice. So he gets off the call off the phone line, no. Seals Unknown Speaker so he calls up all his friends around the Pentagon. And he's like, Hey, Unknown Speaker what do you Pentagon's Internet security is like, Speaker 2 good question. Broad pretty good. Pretty good. I would assume they got Unknown Speaker a VPN stream, Hulu there. Yeah. Speaker 2 They got a special government Hulu. Oh, do they? It's like Hulu like you know people who like watch Hulu out of like Great Britain or something so they get different shows. Unknown Speaker You should see what they have on the Pentagon. Speaker 1 Where to sign up where to where to finally break and buy and get Netflix because the password stuff? Oh, really? For sharing? Yeah, Speaker 2 barely use Netflix. I want to cancel it Bri watch this a lot anyways, so he called me. Unknown Speaker Oh, that's so weird. Speaker 1 You should just do what's good for you. That's what I've learned. And you should just cancel it. And then when she brings it up, she'll be like, I was watching them, but I don't use it. Speaker 2 I've never I don't even know what it's like when I've never my wife Speaker 1 used all of our high V fuel saver points to fill up her car. Because she was like, Oh, my car gets worse gas mileage. And I was like, but I bought the groceries. Those are my points to see. That's the thing. It's our now that's what she said. And I said, well, our implies that I would also use them Speaker 2 as friends at the Pentagon. And he's like, Hey, my dad said that we could have a sleepover. Oh, wait, he's it actually, my boss said we could look at alien pictures of you want to come to my office this afternoon? Or come over and look at aliens. And so they started looking into aliens sure, in their free time on like their lunch break. Yeah. And because they're in counter-intelligence, they do have access to stuff that the average person doesn't have access to and they see stuff the average person doesn't see. And but it's not an official program. And it has zero funding. And they're, it's arguable that they probably shouldn't be spending their time on the clock doing like, it's, it's the sort of thing where it's like, if you got, I don't really care, like if you got time, whatever, who cares. But you shouldn't be spending his working hours doing this. He does that for a few years, and then quits the Pentagon to join to the stars and talks about all this stuff that he's seen. So this web, this storyline is built on the back of a guy who's claiming to be a part of this organization that he's barely a part of. Okay, I mean, he's a part of the Pentagon. He wasn't involved in the Asheville offset, where the eight tip name came from, he just adopted that name for his little club, his little after club. He was barely involved in the original asset program. There's one reference of him in the book, which is him like telling a story of like war stories. I had like dinner at the ranch. Okay, invited him over and they're like, you know, stuff and then it ends. And he was like, do I do I know stuff? So he came in told stories about that and his psychic abilities and stuff like that. So that's the only reference of him in the book. What okay, they go they leak this this thing. And he joins to the stars he becomes whatever he like people Unknown Speaker like that in the Pentagon though. He's a guy have psychic abilities. I'm a psychic. In that one, he was like, Dude, that feels like one of those questions. It should be in the interview. You know? Hey, question. Two questions. Unknown Speaker Do you think you're a psychic? Speaker 1 We're watching Big Brother right now. No, I'm a psych and there's a contestant who got removed from Big Brother for doing the one thing that you can't like that you absolutely cannot do on TV. Unknown Speaker Yeah. Well in general. Speaker 1 Oh yeah. But like dumb, yeah, yeah. And he works at the Pentagon now. He left Big Brother and they were like, we want that guy. But that's what I'm saying like the worst of the works at the Pentagon. And he's like, yeah, one I believe in aliens pretty fiercely. Yeah. And to almost like, and you're like, yay. The second part like, I would believe in aliens. If it wasn't for how crazy the people who believe in aliens are. Unknown Speaker Yeah, yeah, that's fair. That's fair. Speaker 1 If there was one person who I respected who believed in Aliens, I might consider it Speaker 1 So Connor, he's sort of like slow pan in on his face when I say that as good. I like that. Speaker 2 So in the all the stuff comes out, which goes on to tell the story of his involvement with a tip. And James Caskey. German McCaskey is like, Excuse me? No, you're not. And so he calls calm, tell her and George Knapp who wrote that first book, and they were like, Let's run a book. Unknown Speaker Okay, he's retired and not put him in. Speaker 2 And so they wrote a book to set the record straight, basically, to be like, everything he's talking about is not what we were doing. He had his own little club, we had an actual government program. And here's what we did. And it was him throwing shade at Louisa was unsure, like what he's claiming is not sure, maybe he'd looked at some pictures. In this free time. We studied stuff, the government pulled our funding because they didn't think it was worth taxpayer dollars. But we did some real stuff. Okay, so I put this book out. And they The New York Times, the author of The New York Times article, she sees this, this book, she reads the book, she saw the articles and they she gets access to that initial leak video, that video. And when she gets that video, she is like a big UFO person, like a real big fan of the whole UFO story. And she recognizes that the whole Skinwalker Ranch storyline does not help what she wants to do. She wants the public and particularly the government to start taking UFO seriously. And so she says we need to trim all the Skinwalker Ranch stuff out of the story. We need this to just be this UFO video. Because otherwise, that does not accomplish our goal. Speaker 1 So she's trying to appeal to me. She is she's like all this stuff is what makes us look wacky, like, Speaker 2 wacky? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And so. And there's, I guess, two sides of this argument. Like, if your goal is to do that, then she made a good decision. But she's a journalist. And so she should be telling the story, how it is, and not leaving stuff out of the story. Because the real the reality of that story, there was an interesting UFO video that we can't explain. But also the Unknown Speaker company that just be the story. Speaker 2 But there's a very important part of the story where, where the government spent $22 million investigating werewolves on the some ranch in Utah. And but those are Unknown Speaker separate stories. I Speaker 2 think they're overlap. There's Yeah, but just because they overlap doesn't mean you can't just tell one of them. Ah, I mean, I, I see what I see what you mean. And I would agree, I would agree. But I think understanding that all of this started, because there was a billionaire who bought or a millionaire, not a billionaire. A millionaire who bought some land and was like, oh, it's spooky. And convinced a guy that he's got on a string for his campaign budget to invest a bunch of money into it, which that's a story. Yeah. And out of this program, came this video of like, oh, this is the UFO story, then that goes into the public eye. And that's a separate story that leads the Pentagon to spend a lot more money investigating this UFO stuff. When it came from something sketchy to begin with. i It's they are isolated swords, and they can stand alone. But I think it's important to understand where this part of the story came from. Okay, because otherwise we wouldn't have this part of the story. And because there's something really sketchy and weird that happened here. And so Leslie Kane, that's this. That's the girl who wrote the article. Yeah, she kind of massaged it. To keep the part she wanted the public to hear in the story and silenced the Skinwalker Ranch storyline. The reality of it is is Louise Elizondo, the guy who's kind of the the linchpin of the authority, and the storyline wasn't connected to the real a tip program. The related program was Ghost Hunters international, national Okay, got Unknown Speaker stutters Unknown Speaker international national Speaker 2 all that to say, you should still believe in aliens. Unknown Speaker This is where you're trying to land. Unknown Speaker What I'm trying to say is Speaker 1 are you trying to say anything? You're just so passionate about how she had to tell them what I'm what I'm trying to say. Oops Unknown Speaker I'm just as scared. Unknown Speaker This group of people Speaker 2 with the exception of maybe Christopher Mellon, who's the guy who's standing at the podium right now, Unknown Speaker based on the beast, questionable, alien, dude, Unknown Speaker I don't know. I love Tom DeLonge is Unknown Speaker one of my favorite musicians but not credible. Unknown Speaker I don't know. Yeah, I don't know if we should trust what they're saying. Speaker 1 Oh, it's interesting. What do you what do you what do you do a whole episode? Just to be like you were right here. Speaker 2 I'm not saying you're saying. It feels like I'm not saying you're right. Because we never covered this story. Okay. Speaker 1 Well, we should have it was part of it. Well, we didn't know we didn't know. The work that Steven Greenstreet Speaker 2 to connect the dots. The the tic tac video and the stuff that came from those videos is probably pretty legitimate. Showing the work that's being done with it now is probably pretty legitimate. Okay, but a lot of what's happening right now is built on a foundation of Skinwalker Ranch, and that's something that we should be like, Huh, that's weird. That's all I'm saying is the foundation of this stuff is weird. Okay, so there's a Steven Greenstreet did like a nine part series on this. It's a really interesting, it's worth watching. I'm going to show you a clip for it from that in the middle because I just need you to see it. Unknown Speaker Do you have time for this stuff? What? When do you watch these nine part series? Speaker 2 Well, it's been he's been releasing it for a year. So I've been watching them as they've been coming out. And I'm just now competing, Unknown Speaker like three years ago to the moon. Speaker 2 I remember calling you when he put out the first one. And I was like, This guy's making a pretty convincing case on all this stuff. Oh, and then I was like, as I I'll put it in an episode, and it's taken a year for him to finish the series. So it's been a year since I've told you. But it's, I don't know. The moral of the story is, it's important to look at the source of a story and say, should I trust them? And if you are looking at us and say I trust them? That's perfect. We are the most trustworthy source you could look to yeah, Speaker 1 this episode is Tim just going we did an episode on Skinwalker Ranch and honestly, we should just disregard all that. Well. We Unknown Speaker actually said it was garbage in that episode. Yeah, we Speaker 1 said it was the sky sounds that way and you're a loser. I did tell you I said it was bad because you were like Yeah, well no, I really stopped recording. He was like he was like, I believe I believe the whole story that was said that to save face, but I really believe all Walker ranch. Well, anyways, Unknown Speaker it's an interesting story. Watch Stephen green. She's reporting on it. Sure. I know beavers aren't real. No, but is it fiddler?

Did you really did you go to school as a ministry Unknown Speaker Jesus came for your Unknown Speaker okay Unknown Speaker clown nose, that's a clown Speaker 1 I knew exactly what you're talking about. Is that what Speaker 3 is that where the clown nose is? The clown telling the joke? No. But you're saying that as the cloud? Yeah, well, sometimes it's like an interactive bit where they bring the person up on stage. They stick to your nose. Yeah, it's the everybody it's like it's like when you go to do CTOs with it? Everybody gets the wristbands that light up when you go see a clown. Everybody can Speaker 1 see Taylor Swift and the word honks her nose at the end of the show. Very not sanitary. Jesus wants your honk is a quote that will live on the discord forever. I think unfortunately. Yeah, PT Barnum's circus guy. Yeah, he's Speaker 3 a circus guy by not just a circus guy. Unknown Speaker Put that okay. Unknown Speaker Well, we're off to a good start. Alright, here's a here's the PT Barnum. Here's what he looks like. Oh, Unknown Speaker which if you saw this, you saw Speaker 1 if you saw the greatest showman. Yeah. Hugh Jackman should not have been cast to play this guy. This guy looks like the Phantom of the Opera without the mask on you know, I'm saying like, this guy. Yeah. John C. Reilly would have been a great pick that's actually play pts. Very Speaker 2 accurate. Very, very accurate. It's interesting, because I don't know if it's this era of humanity, or if it's if it's this guy, specifically, but he looks like like the last thing I would expect is that he travels around with a giant tent and a bunch of elephants and people who dance real good Speaker 1 that's the job description. I mean, full picture of James Buchanan because maybe I'm just getting maybe maybe my brains not working correct though. Speaker 2 You know I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't I don't remember off the top of my head what Buchanan looks like but this picture Speaker 1 feels pretty Buchanan honey. Does it look similar at all? Or mine's Unknown Speaker pretty similar Speaker 2 causes here there's a lot of pictures with James Buchanan who after he should have Unknown Speaker quit taking pictures. There's pictures of this guy after he should have stopped. There's Speaker 2 a lot of other words, here's like this. And it's like he was outside in the wind. And then he went and took a photograph. Speaker 1 Very disheveled in his like presidential portraits. Yeah, Speaker 2 I think so. He was one where he combed his hair. This is Buchanan with Cohen. Okay, I Unknown Speaker wasn't crazy. was pretty Barnum ready at the same time era. Unknown Speaker Cannon was Speaker 1 I don't know why but like they both could be played by John C. Reilly is maybe why I'm thinking that Speaker 2 Buchanan died in 1868 was President 1857 to 1861. So yeah, same timeframe. Speaker 1 Hey, maybe that's what it was the that was the style. They're gonna think that whenever they see like these guys with the shaved like my barber does the shaved thing in the head right there. You're Speaker 2 gonna see it right. I got looks like Donald Trump. Pull that picture. Unknown Speaker The meanest thing you've ever said anything like that at all? Speaker 3 There haven't been a lot of I can't think of a single president who's had cool hair Unknown Speaker what? Leave up JFK. Yeah, I guess the tape is pretty cool. Speaker 1 Did Clinton had good hair when he was in office? Right. Obama started with good hair. Do you see how fast he grade while he was in office? Speaker 2 Yeah, but honestly, Oh, well. I will say Obama had Obama has gray hair and even gray gray. He grave made him look dignified. I think some people gray makes him look Rama looks Unknown Speaker better old than he did when he was younger. Yeah, Speaker 2 I think some people gray makes you look better. Some people great makes you look worse. I think Obama looked better. Looks better was gray. Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, gosh, yeah, I guess should we Unknown Speaker dye hair gray? Speaker 1 Should we just do do powerful men have bad haircuts? Should we did that Speaker 2 seem like have you seen all of the Oakland Raiders staff? Yeah, Unknown Speaker the Oakland Raiders owner? Owner. Yeah, he's Speaker 2 not their owner there. I don't know. I think he's still there. Their owner, their coach, and who was it? There was someone on their team. They've all got Speaker 1 the same barber and there is themselves horrible. They were horrible haircuts. Their barbers blind. Okay, we've Speaker 2 got so much PT Barnum, not Barber. Okay, we got a lot of sorry, he has a long life. He was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut. And his dad was an innkeeper and a tailor and a storekeeper. And, you know, like one of those guys who was like, did a bunch for newer, but like, successful, you know, like a serial entrepreneur. Yeah. Like, like, like, he would have had a YouTube channel talking about how to be successful. Speaker 1 I do worry that like, when I'm old. I have, you know, what if comedy dies in the next couple of years, and then it'd be like, yeah, he was a comedian in his like, 20s. And then he worked at a used car lot for his 30s Speaker 2 It's like, it's like, Have you heard that? I don't know why you would hear this. I'd be surprised if you have actually, Unknown Speaker can you stop because we have a lot to get to. Speaker 2 Okay, I heard Wi Fi you don't hear it. Okay. No, I haven't heard it. It's it's a song from Hold on. Let me I have to. Casting I'm not loving the Spotify. I can't remember who sings it. So just forget about this. Okay. Speaker 3 So he but here's the thing his grandfather was a Unknown Speaker teepee. Barnum. The Papa. Yeah, Unknown Speaker what speed do you stand for that? Unknown Speaker Pretty taut. Pretty, Tom, I think we'll call him Fred, pretty boy. Okay, Unknown Speaker so P D stands for Phineas Taylor. Speaker 1 Cool. Phineas is a name that should make a comeback. His grandfather, Speaker 2 also Phineas Taylor. Sure. His grandpa. His grandfather had like a lot of really, really strong influence on him. His grandfather did a couple of things that were like noble, but he also was a lottery schemer as I mean, it means he like schemed a lottery. What does that mean? Speaker 1 A lottery schemer. Okay, what does that he's scheme, the lottery. Okay, how, but he had a lottery. I don't play the lottery. I don't know Speaker 2 exactly how he was scheming the lottery, but I'm assuming it was something like those. We covered a couple of lottery winners on our show. Yeah, did kind of different things. So I'm assuming it's something like that. And he had a lot of influence on young PT Barnum. Okay. And so when PT was on the ways of scamming, yeah, I guess when PT was 18 Danger 16 He, his father died. And he had to become the breadwinner for the family. So he started working at a grocery store. And while he was working at this grocery store, he realized I'm seeing a lot of people every day because they're here buying their groceries. And so he says, I know what I'll do. I'll start my own lottery. ends. Unknown Speaker Okay, okay, so he do that. Unknown Speaker I mean, you can do whatever you want. Speaker 1 For free country. I don't know if it's like, and I hope it stays that way. You know, who else believes that all of our new fans? Speaker 2 I mean, this is like 1825 or something like that, or whatever you want. And so back then, like, it's like, yeah, maybe you weren't supposed to do it. But like you, no one's gonna go get a license to start a lottery, you know, especially in Bridgeport, Connecticut, a lottery license? Yeah, no, no one's thinking Speaker 4 about 60. Cardozo. How does he Unknown Speaker so here's what he does water, he, Speaker 2 he sells lottery tickets, okay. And he's holding, like, drawings for them weekly. And he tells he guarantees a prize for everyone, for everyone who enters a lottery. And so he said, I basically he's like, he's like the grand prize winner. I'll give them like a fraction of my earnings from that lottery current same way most lotteries work. But then he was like, but everybody else, the grocery store I work at has a bunch of empty bottles, and they told me I can have them. And so he gets Speaker 3 to anyone else. Okay, no reason. And everyone was like, thanks. I want a major or Speaker 1 it's good to still hang on someone's mantled. That's my great granddad's bottle, Speaker 3 he wanted in peace for blobby Tom, pretty boy, Speaker 2 gave that to him in a lottery. So we're winners, our family, we changed our last name the winner after that. Speaker 1 Okay. Turns out our daughter was like some kind of spy or something like that really rough. Unknown Speaker So he did this for a few years. And did you get that job? Speaker 2 No, I didn't think so. Are you going to explain it? Okay, cool. So he, he just, he saved up money from this lottery, and then moved to New York and bought himself his own grocery store. So I was able to successfully run this lottery for a few years. Wow. And we should be clear, this is the 1820s. So you could buy grocery stores for like, 40 bucks back then. Like it wasn't this? Yeah, it's not the same thing. But it's still impressive. And so he's managing his grocery store. And you know, it's, he's, he's having like, a, like a career, I guess out of this, but he's not enjoying it. He's in 1835 rolls around. He's 25 years old. He's been doing it for a few years, running the grocery store. And he's, he's successful, but not like, success. Yeah, you know, and like, like, he's like, he's like, I want spend more. But he's like, but I there's one big problem with getting more and has work. And he hates working. And he's like, I don't want to have to work. He's like, I'd rather be able to be in a spot where I don't work. And I'm super rich. And so he started, started looking for the next big thing. Unknown Speaker I've got some great products available. And I think you'd like creams, and assorted. Speaker 2 And so this is this is 1830s. So he learns about an acquaintance he like a childhood friend he has he lives in Philadelphia. And this is the 1830s. And so his friend had a slave. Her name was Joyce Heath. And his friend claimed that she was the nurse, like the nurse of George Washington when George Washington was an infant. Okay. Which I saw the look on your face. The numbers don't add up. She will be 161 years old. Yeah, if that was true. But PT Barnum was like, You know what? The lottery was pretty easy. And he's like, I think I could pull this off. And so he goes out to Philadelphia and technically one off Unknown Speaker that's a good question. So it goes into Philadelphia. So Unknown Speaker you think I'm like, I'm gonna sell tickets to see this lady? Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, pretty much. And so he wants he goes out to Philadelphia and Speaker 1 some meet and greet with George Washington's, like childhood nurse. Yeah. Shoot, dude. I hope I'm never that famous. That someone will be like this was a babysitter when he was like three. That'd be $20 A meter. Hey, you Unknown Speaker want to meet her? But like, Unknown Speaker I don't know. I guess it's the 1830s Well, Unknown Speaker it's weird though it feels weird. I can speak from experience Speaker 3 a lot of weird experience. Can you speak from when we toured Alcatraz at the end of Alcatraz, the last surviving inmate? Oh, he's just at the end of the tour. And like, he's like the door greeter? Well, no, he was sitting at a table in the gift shop. He's like, he's like I said 30 years ago, and they still have me here. They Speaker 1 won't let me get out of here. We taking a picture? No. I told him to quit taking pictures of me long ago. I don't want pictures of me having anymore. I shouldn't. Nobody should after a certain point. Speaker 3 It was he was there. I think on his own volition. He wrote a book about his experience. He was doing book signings in the gift shop. But it felt weird. And everybody else there felt weird about it to Speaker 1 buy his book. No, that's why Sacher crap. You're gonna support that old man. But his wife was ruined by the archaic prison system that existed Unknown Speaker by San Francisco. Some people were going in there taking pictures with it. Unknown Speaker I'm glad you had a good vacation. Everybody Unknown Speaker else walked by and was like, Unknown Speaker could you ask for a refund afterward? Unknown Speaker Yeah, we did. We were like, hey, it was really Unknown Speaker weird that I didn't really get a refund. Unknown Speaker Really drug magic training. You're Unknown Speaker doing the magic tricks very well. I hated it. Unknown Speaker So do you know what this this is a prison. Speaker 1 I'm sure that guy he's cool in 2006. But his time has done. Unknown Speaker best show in San Francisco. I don't know, man. Speaker 2 So he, he had 500 bucks to his name. So I took out a loan for $500 to make it 1000 And then made an offer to lease. Joyce from her owner, which was weird, because that was technically still illegal. Like, even at this time, slavery was illegal in the north, because he was they were in northern states. And so that shouldn't have been legal to happen. But he exploited the North. Yes. Yeah. It was because he was technically leasing her. Yeah. So it wasn't technically it wasn't laboring, yeah. Okay. And so he took her on tour. So people could meet George Washington, lady, and made, Speaker 1 that's what I'm saying. Like, what are you putting up? Like, if it's just said hi, V. I mean, like this guy nursed or this guy, maybe progressive, you know, yeah. This gal nursed Ronald Reagan when he was a baby, you know? Yeah. And she's at HyVee this weekend. You're like, okay, Speaker 2 yeah, they that's exactly what happened. He's gonna meet and Unknown Speaker greet. He really was. Speaker 2 It was like, it was like, 20 cents to meet her. And she old. Yeah, she was old. She was so she was about 80. Something of this not 161. Unknown Speaker Right. She would have needed to be. Speaker 2 But they the one thing I respect about PT Barnum, there's a lot that you probably shouldn't respect about him until he gets old when he got old, then there's some things you can't respect about him, because he'd learned some stuff. But at this point, he's like, there's not a lot you can respect about him. But one thing you can is he always made posters for his events that were I think ahead of its time. This was his poster for this. Hello, baby. George Washington Speaker 1 was full. So just so everyone knows. It's, you know, obviously, the older woman holding a knot baby. It is a just a small George Washington watching pretty funny. Inside this is aged 161 years. Unknown Speaker Yeah, George Washington isn't even around anymore at the time of this. Yeah, Unknown Speaker they're saying, Speaker 1 Look, though, that's honestly that is ahead of its time, because that's like, full grown. George Washington just shrunk down and put in her lap. Yeah, that's Unknown Speaker some photoshop. already funny. It is pretty funny. Unknown Speaker And so they took her around till on tour, and they Speaker 1 said she was 161. And it was a lie. Speaker 2 I'm pretty sure. Yeah, his friend told him she's 161 years old. Yeah. But Speaker 1 that's like what he Yeah, he's like, sure, sure. Sure. Sure. Unknown Speaker So they took her on tour. And this was a huge Speaker 1 hit. At that time. What people's belief stuff, man. It's true. And no one had invented lying yet. And so people were like, this is this is just true. Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, that's accurate. And so he made a killing off of this. There's no way to prove anything yet. Every time he would go into 20 cents this year. People were like, oh, I want to see George Washington's nurse. And so people were coming from all over the place to see this. Experience it, but only lasted a year because she passed away year after Unknown Speaker 162. Speaker 3 And he had developed a little bit of a taste of reputation. It because some people were like, There's no way. There's no way that's actually yeah. Washington's that Speaker 1 ends up helping him. Yeah. And marketing standpoint, that's what you want. Yeah. Speaker 2 And because of that, he he capitalized on that as well. And so after she died, he hosted a live autopsy to prove her age. And so at a saloon in New York City, which is saloon of all places, like the doors and everything. Yeah, that sounds like that cannot be up to health. But they hosted a live autopsy, he sold seats and people came in, they watched it. And they verified she was 82 years old at the time of her death. And everyone was like, ah, wasn't real, but it was cool. Well, acid like Unknown Speaker how were they age verifying at that point? Unknown Speaker I don't know. I think teeth. Unknown Speaker Okay, yeah. Speaker 2 Everyone's teeth has numbers on them. Like, the back of your teeth has a number for your age. Yeah. Can you feel that? Yeah, it changes every year. Like your birthday? It's Unknown Speaker 31. But um, you don't know how horny nine? Unknown Speaker Ah, you didn't call your mom. Unknown Speaker I didn't call her mom right now. You call her Unknown Speaker I'm two years old. Unknown Speaker This changes so much. Changes everything I know about myself. Oh, man. Hey, thanks for checking Speaker 4 out this episode. If you like this, and you want more of our show, we've got plenty of other episodes. One of my favorites is action Park, a super sketchy theme park that was basically overrun by teenagers. And they just made the rules. It was in New Jersey. It was a wild story. But we did a whole episode about it. And I think you'd like it. So when you're done with this one, go check out that episode. But for now, back to this one. Unknown Speaker So they barely Yes, she's 82 Yeah, she was 82. Unknown Speaker And so he was like, Wow, this he's like, Unknown Speaker Oh, Unknown Speaker I too, got bamboozled. Unknown Speaker I was tricked by that guy in Philadelphia. Unknown Speaker That you all know is real. Speaker 2 Is none of that. So so yeah. So she she passes away. And he was like, Man, that worked out great. And there was a lot of money and to even just speculation. And so he started looking for other people that were unique that he could exploit. Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, they're old people. Just looking for the Speaker 2 other Oliver's to take somewhere. And so he he started finding you'll never run out of them. Your typical like, cars, like Sideshow stuff, like so like people with extra limbs or bearded ladies and but none of this stuff was as much of a hit as George Washington's nurse. And so like he kind of he kind of struck it big on his first one. Okay, everything after that was like just kind of they're like, yeah, we've seen the bearded lady. Yeah. And so, but he he spent a few years saving up his money. And he bought scoters American museum in 1841. Okay, it was like, like a Ripley's Believe It or Not using a wax place or what? No more like a Ripley's Believe it or not, because they just would have like weird exhibits of like, here's an example. One of the things that they had in there from the very beginning was what's known as I think, yeah, the Fiji Mermaid, which this is allegedly allegedly proof of mermaids that exists, they found this a Fiji and it was this, so I don't like it. If you're listening. It's it was a Speaker 1 half fish and then not even want to call it a person at the top. But kind of Speaker 2 Yeah, so this is a recreation of it. We don't have the original, but it was because what we did was he took a skeleton of a monkey and cut it off at the torso and then glued it to around and like glued it to the back of the monkey. And then was like, look, it's a mermaid. It's a real mermaid. And people were like, Oh my gosh, they found a mermaid in Fiji. Speaker 1 And that's what it would look like. Is I mean all these fairy tales of sailors falling in love with that. Unknown Speaker Yeah, yeah, that's Yeah, exactly. Unknown Speaker It's worth it if you're an audio listener to just Speaker 2 it's terrifying google it is terrifying. So yes, stuff like this, like crazy automated. Yeah, yeah. He's making crazy oddities and saying all this. I found a mermaid Yep. So he redesigns this museum. Oh wow. Barnum's American museum is it's big. What does that force five stories? Yeah. And had just all these exhibits of interesting things all throughout. And it was literally that it was like you walk in you look at something that was kind of interesting or a person who was who had an extra limb or a bearded lady stuff like that. That Speaker 1 is the the last surviving person from Alcatraz. It's the baby that he's holding. Unknown Speaker And everyone's like, what's Alcatraz? Well, you'll Unknown Speaker probably die. But we'll find out. Unknown Speaker We'll find out when you're older. Unknown Speaker He's older. Speaker 2 And this this museum he was he was tricky with this stuff. And so he was, is I guess, it was like a quarter of there's not a real murmee Certain Well, no, no, no, even better. So it was like 25 cents, I shouldn't say even better, even worse. So it was like 25 cents to enter, right? And then you can turn around and see the whole thing. But at the end of every, not every exhibit, but at the end of some of the major exhibits, he would put up all the signs that say this way to egress. But at and I guess apparently still now, people didn't know what egress means. What's your exit? And so people would be like, oh, I want to go see the egress. And then they go out and then they'd be outside and they there's no reentry. So they had to get another ticket to go in. So he was just tricking people to buy a second ticket. Unknown Speaker Dang it. Oh, I put it down. Unknown Speaker That wouldn't fly. Now. This is who PT Barnum was, Unknown Speaker I'd burn it to the ground dude. Unknown Speaker But again, still great posters. Unknown Speaker There's a side to the egress. Unknown Speaker Yeah, cuz he was like, Haha, we got to. Okay, so. Okay, Speaker 3 sure. So just a bunch of interesting stats. Someone with a lot of tattoos they hippopotamus. Siamese? Chicken, Chicken Chicken. Yeah. Bearded Lady. There's a brick. Unknown Speaker Is that a bearded lady though? White? Speaker 3 Yeah, I think that's a bearded lady. looking thing, I think. And then just an average baby. Speaker 1 No, he has a huge baby. That's the point that baby that baby's not average, that is actual size. That's a large baby. Speaker 2 And then there's a brick in this, because here's what he did, he would do this every day he would get into, he would walk into the museum. Speaker 1 One break from the building, because this can't last forever, guys. And like he would just you know, he's like, we're here until the building falls down. A different brick from a different area is like, eventually it'll Speaker 3 fall. Well, what he would do is he would take these bricks, man. And he would Speaker 2 he would walk in, and he would grab a brick and he will walk back out with a brick. And like just set it on the street. And then turn around, walk back in and then walk back out and grab the brick and walk back inside. And people on the like morning commutes would walk by and they'd be like, what do you do with these bricks, man? And he's like, why don't you come inside and see. And it meant nothing. It was just something just odd enough where people would be like, What are you doing? I go try to check that out on one of these days. And I'm gonna do that Speaker 1 when we open our mobile bar. What do you do it just like just go take a cinder block. Go set it out. Let it sit there for a little while. And come back out. Pick it up. Yeah, yeah. What are you doing? Have you ever heard of Oregon? Speaker 3 Just doing weird things. Once you come check it out. And so like his it slowly grows in popularity. Just Speaker 2 it's so, but nothing was like hugely successful yet. Like he was he was doing well. He was doing well. Okay, but it still wasn't like I don't have to work anymore. Well, you know, he was shooting for and then he met Tom Thumb. His name wasn't Tom Dunn. That was the name he changed him to. His name was Charles PT Barnum changed it. Yeah. It was Charles Stratton. Unknown Speaker He's like, I'm gonna call you. Tom. Is there a reason? Yeah. I think you know, Speaker 2 his name was Charles Charles Trenton. And he was his parents. Were actually friends of PT Barnum. Unknown Speaker Okay. It's parents like, hey, our kids weird. Speaker 2 They're like, we don't think he's ever gonna be able to make a living on his own. Why? Why he was a dwarf. And at that day and age, I mean, that's a pretty logical conclusion that he's never gonna be able to make much money on his own. And so at four years old PT Barnum says, Okay, I'll pay him or I guess I'll pay you as the parents. $70 a week. Unknown Speaker I'll lease your child Speaker 2 pretty much $70 a week to be in my A big money. Yeah, good money. And so they were like, yeah, like done deal. And so he legally changed his age to 11 years old and legally changed his name to Tom Thumb. Cuz for some, I think he thought that would sell better, which I think it does. I think it is better than Charles Stratton. Okay, and then calls him a general and says, Come see General Tom Thumb at 11 years old and 11 years old, but He's four years old. But he says he's 11 years old. Unknown Speaker Is there a picture of Tom Tom? Yeah. Here's Unknown Speaker a picture of PT Barnum and Tom Thumb standing together. They ended up becoming best friends that are lifelong friends after this. Speaker 1 That makes sense. But like, but like, why 11 If you're going to change the age, just shoot big, you know, go for 160. You know? Speaker 2 Yeah, I don't know why the age 11 was chosen. I think maybe it's because he was still like, he still kind of behaved like a child. So they were like, well, we got it. We can't act like he's an adult. Unknown Speaker But he's a Gen Y. That's why I say like, Gen. He's 11. Unknown Speaker He's an 11 year old come meet the 11 year old General. Unknown Speaker That's what I that's what I'm saying. Speaker 3 It's like, okay, that's the idea is meet the 11 year old general. And then that's what was interesting about him. Sure. And they taught him to say like, general stuff. And so he would walk into a room and he'd be like, hello, troops. I don't know, whatever generals do. Yeah. Speaker 2 And then they taught him to sing and that crushed. And so like, it was like, it was like, it had developed an audience Speaker 1 for like, oh my gosh, he's a he's a war general. And then he goes and they're like, he's singing. Take two quarters. Speaker 3 How many quarters Do you want? Take me to the egress. I can give you more. Unknown Speaker Yeah, he goes, follow me. He's gonna be running around. He's a child. You know, saying? Speaker 2 Yeah, so Tom Thumb makes him a fortune. People. The word spreads of the singing 11 year old general. And people start traveling to New York just to see Tom Thumb. Okay. And so they become a lifelong best friend. They become lifelong best friends. Wow. Him and Tom Thumb. And he takes tom tom on tour a couple times. But more than anything, Tom Thumb is performing at the American Museum for life and making pretty good money doing it. Speaker 1 Yeah. Did PT have a like, I believe against looking at the camera. Unknown Speaker No, I think he did it here. Okay, well, that's also Unknown Speaker why he didn't do it. Creepy, man. Unknown Speaker Yeah, yeah. After that last picture. Everyone was like, Hey, where's Unknown Speaker my eyes? I gotta bounce my eyes. Yeah. So Speaker 2 I love I love TomTom. And so TomTom makes him a fortune. And it really puts the museum on the map. Sure museum was opened for decades. It is a brick thing anymore. People are coming on their own. And it gets to the point where the museum is now bringing in 400,000 visitors per year. By 1846. It gets the point where the museum earns him $80 million. It translated to today's money, I should say. He makes a ton of cash off this museum. And TomTom really kind of put him on the map and meant this out. Okay. And so he goes on a little bit of a spending spree, finding more oddities and kind of compiling stuff to have in in his museum and then says I'm going to open up a new house from a Speaker 1 new house. I'm going to open up a new house for me usually to build yourself a home like a business plan like a business like for me, I like a house for me and then I like that same house build smaller for Tom Thumb. Give it to him for his at Speaker 3 the garage, his 18th birthday. So Unknown Speaker next year. Well, we could change that. Not really. Got more time. Speaker 3 He's got it. Yeah. At least not on us seven years. It's a lot like Tim's anniversary. Unknown Speaker In that in that on papers, two of them yes. So that's okay. The government doesn't listen to this Speaker 2 so he builds this new house and his II wants this house to be a thing though, where it's he has his home But he also hosts major events here. And so he puts in a theater and he builds like a big ballroom because he's like, I want the best music artists in the world to come do their. Their performances here in my home music here. Yeah. And so he opens up a home and he names it. I ran us down. And this is it. Holy cow builds this in Connecticut. In 1948 is when he built it. No, 1848 Sorry. 1848 That's what I meant. Unknown Speaker Otherwise, he'd be 161 years old. Speaker 2 If you're listening, it's a giant house and it's it's in your classic like, India, like temples style. So they've got like a big dome. Like bulbous rooftops with the spires. Stories. Yeah, depending on who you are. If you hugely been tortilleria. You would think this was here. 700 years ago standing is it? No. Speaker 1 Okay, I guess you'll tell us why. So yeah, Giants. This is this Outback also his Speaker 2 whole properties his there's lots of sub building all buildings. Yeah, that's Unknown Speaker Tom those houses. Okay. Speaker 2 And a fountain out front? Yeah. So I mean, just an absolutely obnoxiously gigantic mansion. Even for today's standards. If you saw this in 1848. It will blow your mind at how big this guy's house is. If you saw this in 2023, it will blow your mind at how big this guy Yeah, it's huge. It's a palace by every like, yes, measure. So a couple of years after he built this house, he finds out about a Swedish singer named Jenny Lind, who was huge in Europe. And he thought he could benefit off of her success. And so he calls up her crew, and is like, hey, why don't you guys come on over to the states all tore manage for you guys. And we'll we'll let you build an audience out here. And so Speaker 1 what would an audience translate if you came over from Europe, like would people show up? Typically, Speaker 2 no. But PT Barnum be one of the things that PT Barnum got really, really good at publicity. And yeah, he got really good at marketing stuff. And so he was confident he could build an audience for her before she even got to the states. Okay, so he went to her and he offered 150 Night tour to pay her $1,000 A night. And that is money. So translate it today is $40,000 a night for 150 Night tour. So she was like, Hey, that sounds great. Can you pay me up front? And he was like, Unknown Speaker No. He was like, Yeah, Speaker 2 I think we can do that. So he went and he took out a loan against his museum. He took out a loan against his house, and he's still stupid. And he took he put his entire savings so dumb, and he was still came up $6,000 short of what he offered her. And so he went and he was asking him for money. He found Unknown Speaker no, that's so dumb. Speaker 2 And so he found a point you Speaker 1 just like a musician enough that you're like, we're gonna do it. I'm gonna force it to happen. Speaker 2 He found a pastor in Philadelphia to give him six grand and he needs six grand. And so he told us pastor, Unknown Speaker pastors were rolling. Speaker 2 He found a pastor Philadelphia, and he said, Hey, Jenny Lynn, one of the things she was famous for in Europe was her morality, and her philanthropy. And so he said, I think if we have a star in the United States that's famous for the things she's famous for, we could really see a change in the morality of our nation, and convinced this pastor and the pastor put up $6,000 towards it, and was able to pay her upfront and she put the majority of it straight into her charities, and then sailed to the US. And he started marketing it and he really played up the morality played up the philanthropy stuff and the marketing. And when she arrived, she had no audience in the States before this deal started. When she arrived at Port, there's 40,000 people waiting for her to sail in. And they worked. Yeah. And so she goes to stay at the hotel that night. There's 20,000 people the hotel and they sold out of her merchandise, which is interesting to me. I'm curious Speaker 3 what her merchandise was. Yeah, like, T shirts, like just there's no way they had T shirts like, Unknown Speaker No, I had a blouse, a little fluffy blouse. And Unknown Speaker a fluffy bass. They sewed some suspenders and Unknown Speaker say J lens pulls my pants up. I Speaker 3 don't know what it is. She's so more moral. That she it says morals. The morals tore the mortals toward morals toward morals tore. So Unknown Speaker that night PT was like, oh yeah, this is gonna Speaker 1 work and then she actually crosses in front of somebody. And they're like She's not who they said they were. What a hypocrite. Speaker 2 And then all of the all of the fans daughters, they started putting black eyeliner on their eyes and go into her shows. And we're like, I love Jenny. Unknown Speaker They're like this is the reversible Speaker 2 Jenny's ruining our nation. No. So she plays at the castle garden Theater in New York, the first like, I guess there's a second night in the States. But our first night of the tour, sells it out. 5000 seat theater, huge theater for the day. sells it out. And this single event, because PT Barnum reiterated the PT Barnum decided instead of selling tickets, he was going to auction them because it was so it was already so popular as this single event paid off the Old Testament. Wow. So and then they went and did well, not 150 Nights, they did 93. Halfway through the tour, she dies. Halfway through the tour, she starts realizing, you see Barnum is making an insane amount of money off of this tour. And she's feels dirty about the fact that she's that he's marketing it off of her morality and her philanthropy. And so he says, if you're gonna make this much money off of stuff, he said, You have to give it away, I have to make more off of this is what she said. And so they negotiate a new deal where he would make a $5,500 management fee for each night of the event. And she would make the rest of the profits. And so So she Speaker 1 starts making a killing. Yeah. And so by the end of this, he was like, I don't want to do this anymore. This sucks. So Speaker 2 after 93 nights, the deal kind of fell apart. And they parted ways, because she was frustrated with the way he was marketing it. So they didn't do a full 150 Nights. But for 93 She walked away having earned about $350,000 in 1840 Cash whole equivalent. I've got a calculator up right now in point Unknown Speaker two or 12 million. Speaker 2 It's equivalent to Yeah, 13 point 6 million today. Yeah. And then he netted estimates range around $500,000, which was net. And so I don't know what a million. Yeah, I don't know how much he actually took home off of that. Because he's had a half. Yeah. And so the gamble worked really well for him. And so he started saying, hey, there might be something to this Tor stuff. And so he starts looking at winner do Unknown Speaker part of started with, Unknown Speaker yeah, get that remember? Unknown Speaker What if we had a morality? Speaker 1 What if we tore it is, you know, $10 entry, no tickets. Speaker 2 But they, they like auctioned all the tickets for free, free auction, free auction pre auction. So he gets into this, this concept of touring. And so he starts sending his acts is pretty crazy Speaker 1 how winter jam did that it's $10 cash at the door. They don't have to pay any processing fees on on cards or anything like that. And there's no ticket sales. So there's no other hands in the pot. It's interesting when you learn how things work, when you know how business goes and you go, Speaker 2 Oh, and you're like, yeah, and then they mark it in a certain way. And you're like, Oh, let's Unknown Speaker see what you did here. Yeah, PT Barnum. Unknown Speaker But anyways, you gotta get a winner. Unknown Speaker I do put me on there. I love it. I think you guys are geniuses. I'm so moral. Yeah, he's Speaker 3 also 3131 31 Speaker 2 You're enjoying it and you're enjoying chillin, you've been around for a little bit, I want to invite you to be a part of our Patreon.

I realized I forgot to put a CTA in mind. Speaker 1 Oh dang we're doing Yeah, they can text Tillandsia 66866 Thanks Jared. Speaker 2 These are set at his axon tour. PT Barnum is sending his accent or making a killing his museum still open make it a killing off the museum and he's sending him out individually on tour, yeah. And he's brilliant. He's bright. He's starting to like, going out on the road, Tom thumb's on the road doing events, wow, singing or whatever. And he's working with a lot of musicians. Now Jenny got him into the music world. For us, they are there to surround trains. And so they he's, he's a huge success, right? Well, in the 80s, the early 1860s. His museum catches fire. Oh, and the newspaper puts out this article of his museum burning, which is Speaker 1 there's like a head, and oh, it's a mannequin. Speaker 2 Yeah, there's I think it's Abe Lincoln's mannequin. Losing ahead. Unknown Speaker Oh, my God. Yeah, it's Speaker 2 a terrifying image. This is an interesting time in journalism. When the cartoonists that would have typically just done no pictures for the front, they had them do everything. And they let them do it however they wanted. Why don't you draw a picture of the fire at the circus? Okay. And they were just like, cool. And they would just Yeah, make it insane. But yeah, so we know what sort of the fire No. But there was there was a major fire and it damaged it pretty bad. He was able to get an insurance payout, but it didn't even come close to covering the damages. But he was able to reopen partially and didn't didn't open. The whole museum backup reopened partially, a few years later, Unknown Speaker a lot more egress signs, Speaker 2 a lot more and eagerness signs. But a few years later, it caught fire again. And this time he couldn't recover. Yeah. And so it was a complete loss. And he shut it shut it down for good. Ironically, a couple years later, his house also burnt down. What so I don't know if this guy was literally playing with fire or if something wasn't insurance at the time. Well, there was there was insurance. But yeah, it wasn't like the sort of thing where it's like, he's not collecting industry. He's not he's not getting Yeah, I mean, he could have been insurance fraud, and honestly, but he wasn't making enough money off of it. He was making more money off his insurance as pilots burned out. That's why we don't have any pictures. That's a Speaker 1 bummer. Yeah. Because it was wild to like, still exist. Yeah. I also think there's Speaker 2 a possibility. So he, at this point in his life, he got into politics. And he was he was in the Republican, the new Republican Party was a brand new thing. And it was very different than it is today. It was actually like the inverse back then. Right. And so he was he was very progressive. Had a had a pretty instrumental part in the 13th amendment. Which is crazy, because because he started from that, yeah. And so well, what he said in his he gave a speech and in his speech, he said that he was once a while it was the word he used basically, like hard headed Democrat, who was a northerner he thought exploiting people was okay. And he said, over my career, he said, I've been privileged to work with people from all over the world from multiple different background, basically, and realize that these people are all the same. Like there's no reason why you should Jr really did change him. Yeah. And so he his life, like exposing himself to other people changed his life. And so then he was instrumental in making the 13 or passing through the 13th Amendment, but he said in his speeches, he was like he he thought he should be punished for the things that he had done in the past really, really looked like a change man after that, honestly, Speaker 1 it's almost like we agree. I was just saying that for political points. I don't think we should actually don't punish me Don't please don't I've been punished enough my business burnt down, my home burned down. Speaker 3 My business burnt down again. And so he he was also instrumental in Speaker 2 passing legislation that made gas lighting a common thing and cities streetlights were all the time man Speaker 1 in the city before nothing like that. Unknown Speaker Gaslight Wow, they're Speaker 1 like, they're like there was no Barnum's Museum. Well, yes, there was. No You're making that up. You're Speaker 3 crazy. Give it up. You're making it up. You're crazy. And he was like, I did that. He was like that. That was me. That was my work bro. More gaslighting here. But I Speaker 2 do think it's possible that because he was such a proponent of gas lighting, that that's what Burton has everything down. Oh, because that was that makes highly flammable. Speaker 1 But like running gas lines as infrastructure kind of stuff. Yeah. And then lighting Speaker 2 the city that way. Yeah. And so he was in point of all this is to say he was influential in politics as a politician. And then at the age of 63. He was like, You know what I haven't done yet. Okay, because I haven't Speaker 3 done a circus yet. said I've done all this stuff. And everybody the future knows me for the circus but I haven't done the circus yet. She's times right. Speaker 2 And so he establishes PT Barnum's grand traveling museum menagerie caravan and hippodrome wasn't great at naming stuff. Great it advertising. Yeah, good naming. I think that was normal back then. long names were long. Yeah. And so he started Speaker 1 to zipper, his name, Phineas Taylor to long pt. Speaker 2 And so he started running that in 1870. Ran for 11 years. Very successful circus in the States. 1k. one of if not the most successful circus in the United States. Meanwhile, across the pond in Europe, there's a guy by the name of James Bailey, who's running a very successful circus. And K. Borrow the UK in Unknown Speaker Butea. Speaker 3 And he learns about it from Tom Thumb. Important sidebar. Tom, Tom went over there. Yeah, important sidebar. I'm Speaker 2 getting ahead of myself a little bit. Sure. Yeah. So in the 60s, during his political career, he ended up getting into some pretty hot legal waters. And so some of the stuff that he did, made some enemies, as happens a lot with politicians, right. And he, he got a little a little too passionate, I think about these enemies. And so he started coming after them a little bit too hard. And so he got sued for libel multiple times, oh, and nearly bankrupt, got bankrupt from the litigations that he found himself in. Because his museum wasn't open anymore. He lost his house. We had a lot of a lot of his assets were literally burnt out, right. And then, and then he was kind of being a little too risky with the slander. He was thrown at some people, and it costs him. And so he almost lost everything. But his old friend Tom Tom, at this time, it had gone off on his own, and was touring in Europe and was like, why don't you come on toward me in Europe? You can open for me. Unknown Speaker I mean, did we tie five at the top? Yeah. Unknown Speaker But here's the thing. PT Barnum, Speaker 2 this whole his whole career was never a performer. He was always the guy running the show, you know, but not the performer. And so opening was like, What's PT Barnum gonna open for? So he opened as a speaker, speaking against alcohol. And so Speaker 1 thanks for coming tonight. I'd like to start this joyous evening of fun and drinking with a talk about how neither of those things are good for you. You should not drink where they serve and drinks it like theaters and stuff Unknown Speaker then I imagine I would assume Yeah. pour that out. Put that out. Dump your drink, dump your drink. Speaker 1 Don't drink or dump your soul. Yeah, he was what was known as yours. He was he was what was Speaker 2 known as a temperance speaker. And so the idea was alcohol is bad for you. You shouldn't drink it you should abstain he Speaker 1 was running a DARE program across the UK basically Speaker 3 opening for Tom. Everybody's everybody's going out to see Tom Tom perform the the 11 year old general he's still 11 So it's a big bait and switch. Yeah, that he comes out and he's like, he's like, Are you drinking tonight? Unknown Speaker Tonight? Well cut it out. You're Unknown Speaker all gonna die. Unknown Speaker As you can see in this presentation. He's like, not a good public speaker is really hurt. Tonight. I'm gonna give you sorry. I'm gonna give you three reasons that drinking is wrong. Not wrong. Unknown Speaker But like not good. Unknown Speaker Cue photos. Unknown Speaker Can you put the pictures up on the screen? Please? Yeah. Speaker 1 Not the one where I'm looking at my camera. But the camera Speaker 3 anyways, you might not know me. My name is PT Barnum. I'm gonna before we get into it, I gotta show you a picture of me and my family. This is me and this is my son. Speaker 1 Hey, guys, thanks for being here. We want to say thank you for being here. There's a card Have a seat back in front of you just fill that out. Let us know you were here. Speaker 2 Yeah, if you just fill that out with your credit card information, you can drop in the bucket when it comes by and we'll just take whatever we want. Unknown Speaker Nice. Unknown Speaker Legally, I'm supposed to say it that Unknown Speaker if you want to reach the summit Unknown Speaker he goes it does this tour. It Speaker 2 makes a good amount of money off of this tour, and he's able to reboot his career and gets into the circus. was a circus for 11 years. And then Tom Thumb who's still on tour in Europe is like, Hey, there's this guy, James Bailey super successful out here. Looks like he's planning on coming to the states, you should get ahead of that. Unknown Speaker Okay. And so he Unknown Speaker calls that's why he started doing the circus stuff. Speaker 2 Well, no, he had been doing the circus for 11 years at this point. Oh, so he calls up James Bailey. And he's like, don't come to my territory. He's like, you're my number one competitor. He's like, you're the target to my Walmart. You're the Pepsi demand Coca Cola. Unknown Speaker He said, I'm a Bailey. Yeah, he's Speaker 2 like, what if? Join sides? He said, he said, What if we what if we be Pepsi Cola? Anyway, that doesn't flow? Right? What about Walgett? What Speaker 1 if we merge? What if? What if? What if you come over here and I buy your circus and we call it x? Unknown Speaker I think it will sell really well. A lot. I don't know, man. I'm just kind of thinking through some stuff. Make sure this Speaker 3 New York City, a giant light up X, on top of a building facing the windows of your enemies. Speaker 1 Will people think it's a weird thing? Ah, you're thinking too far ahead, buddy. But if we just make it with gasoline, I like to think in the moment. And then let my youngsters tell me my mistake. Plan. Speaker 2 And so James Bailey and him, they partner up, Bailey comes over to the states and brings his his elephant named Jumbo. And they buy a train that they had for a long time. Pin like chartering train trips. Yeah, but Speaker 1 you can't get charter a train. Yeah, you can show up with Speaker 2 like, check bag and elephant. Like, the ticket person is good. I know you can't train. And yeah, so they bought a train. They're the first circus to ever own their own train. Speaker 1 Wow. And they were rolling the towns with a full train. Unknown Speaker And so in 1882, they went on their first tour, how Speaker 1 does somebody go ahead of them? I guess that's how people the circus is coming. Speaker 2 I think they would mail flyers or something. I don't know. I mean, he was great at advertising. However he did it people would always come in. That's what I'm saying. Like, why Unknown Speaker would they do that? Speaker 2 They were the first three ring circus, which I think most likely came out of a debate. Because what they have you ever been to a three ring circus? You know what that means? Yeah, I didn't. I don't think I knew what that mean. Like, I went to circuses as a kid. Like there's Speaker 1 a center ring, where all the cool stuff happens. Yeah, there's another one where like kind of stuff happens. And then there's another one where other but they they can because Oh, it's constant entertainment. Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah. So they're all going at once, basically. Yeah. And so I think that most likely came out of a debate where it was like these two circuses came together. And they were like, well, I want to perform now. And they're like, Well, if we all do it at the same time, everyone wins. Yeah, I think that's what happened. But it was their first three ring circus. They launched in 1882. And it ran until 2017. What is the longest running any form of entertainment? Speaker 1 ran until 2017. The other one that came to the shrine mosque Speaker 2 Barnum and Bailey's. I don't know if it was that or if it was the Ringling Bros. Ringling Brothers in like the post war era blew up and they okay for their money. And now I think Ringling Bros. Bring the Ringling Brothers wrinkling. Speaker 1 There's one in June I think is bigger. Now, there's a there's a company in Joplin that does circus circuses. Uh huh. Yeah. So I drive by their field all the time. And like their elephants are just out there. I'm not joking. Like, they're on the side of the interstate. And they got their big semis, and they're still doing it even though people it's like to me, like, how much longer do you think circuses could exist? And also, SeaWorld? How long do you think SeaWorld could exist? Because I think like, millennials aren't SeaWorld? Speaker 2 Yes. Here. Well, it's close. See? Well, it's gotta be close. It's so close to a close very close. Speaker 1 I mean, I would go weeks ago, just just to keep my life Unknown Speaker I don't think I've been to a circus since I was like, six. Unknown Speaker I would do a circus in. I mean, even before then, when I was a kid, I knew I was wrong. I was I was bad. Really? No, we went I think I went to I was like, in I don't know. Speaker 2 I don't know. I mean, I think it depends on the circus. Like if a circus is like doing like, elephants and like animals stuff. Like I think they're, they're on the target list. But I think if a circus is doing like, just acrobatics, yeah. Cuz those suffering do. Yeah, I think I think the acrobatic stuff could last. But I will say like, like, if I'm on the highway, and I see circus tents, like this part of me that's like, I should go to that real quick. Unknown Speaker I should go see real quick. Let me tell you, let Speaker 2 me tell you if I if I'm on the highway, and I see a circus tent on in the parking lot and independent center. Yeah. And as I'm driving by I see a guy walk out with a brick. I'm good. He sets the brick down. Unknown Speaker I can what's he doing? I can't find now I have to find out how to figure out how to make money off this year. What he's doing. He's opening a story loop. For real though, Speaker 3 like That's definitely what he was doing. Like, it's this question of just like, what's up with the break and then you go through the whole museum. And while you get Unknown Speaker through part of it, you got to pay like I still go. Brick Unknown Speaker brick, you go through the whole thing at the very end. Unknown Speaker He's there the gift shop. A copy of my book. The brick book book. No. What's the brick? is about my life. Oh, brick. Oh, yeah. Greg stands up Unknown Speaker and says the Pledge of Allegiance Speaker 1 to the flag of the United States of America for which it stands, one nation indivisible. Speaker 1 You get it. You got what I did there, right? Because that wasn't in the title of right time era, you guys as a good joke. Speaker 3 So the surgeon is what he's known for it but he didn't start doing it until he was in his 60s. Wow. Speaker 2 I mean, he made a lot of money. Throughout his career, like he, the circus was a huge success of his he was a huge success doing everything else before and he knew how the entertainment business worked. And so Speaker 1 I'm going to change my marketing to be Judy Lynn's marketing, which is just like, come see Jaron, he's a really good guy. Speaker 2 Before Barnum and Bailey's started, while he was getting his circus business off the ground, he got into being an author. And so he wrote a book called The Life of PT Barnum. Unknown Speaker We just didn't spit. Speaker 3 Yeah. It's pretty great. He literally literally did that. Unknown Speaker Yeah, but he did under a fake name. So it would be like a biography. No, Speaker 2 it was called by it was life of PT Barnum by himself. Okay. Unknown Speaker Everybody thought he meant it was written by him. But he was like he was by himself all the time. Unknown Speaker And that's the real story. Speaker 3 He few 10 years later, he wrote a book called The humbugs of the world, which was him just slandering mediums. Speaker 2 Because he had a real problem with them. And he actually in the book he offered, he was going to pay $5,000 to any medium who could prove they could actually talk to the debt. Maybe 5000. That was how the book ended. I sound like one of his friends died. He's like, I'm sick of these people sick of these mediums. Unknown Speaker And so then these mediums, there's a group of mediums Speaker 2 that actually they read that book, they read the offer, they found out that was $5,000 up for grabs, if they could prove that they could talk to the dead. So they got together. And one of them told one of the mediums a secret. And the other medium was in the other room, and he'll tell them, and they did the seance thing. And they proved it and so he had to pay them $5,000 That's it made it sorry. Unknown Speaker Obviously, he didn't know the secret. He would have had to tell someone a secret and then kill them. Unknown Speaker And that yeah, so anyway, so they got a few times Speaker 1 to figure it out. They killed a lot of people before they shoot. He has to figure this super Speaker 3 secret is the brick was nothing. Nothing to do with. It was just a break. It's all don't break. Unknown Speaker She was 82. Unknown Speaker And he was for what are you seeing right now? Unknown Speaker Well, I don't know. Your friends gonna tell me in a second. That's probably gonna get marked by the by the YouTube standards. The transcript says stab, stab, stab, actually three different times because I said it. Again, they said you can say stab 10 times. Speaker 3 Let's say thank you. If you stay, poke 11 times, say what's a better word? What's another? What's a synonym of? Unknown Speaker Of what? That's what I thought this conversation is over real hard. You hear Oh, wow. Speaker 3 Knowledge that was just waiting for it. I was just gonna post. Unknown Speaker It says 29 You're good. So Unknown Speaker he writes up. I'll take you through doesn't boast Unknown Speaker you should lose a tooth for the bid Speaker 3 so he he writes a couple dozen books most of all about like couple dozen. Yeah, most of them about how much he hates mediums or about politics or business, Speaker 1 you know, and that's what what happened if we didn't have social media all these people who leave like seven paragraph comments wouldn't think they're authors. Speaker 2 But then in 1880, right before the Barnum and Bailey Circus thing happened, he wrote what is probably my favorite book ever. I haven't read it I just by the title judging the book by its cover. This is my favorite book ever written. This is PT Barnum's the art of money getting Unknown Speaker which is so great. Unknown Speaker I want to read it. I want to read it really bad. Unknown Speaker I don't think this was the original. This was not Speaker 1 this is definitely what's available on Amazon now. Speaker 2 Because and I think that just because this font is very clearly this was made in in PowerPoint, this car. Yeah. But man, I want to read this book, The Art of money getting all about how he got his money. He is widely attributed with for being the person who coined the phrase, there's a sucker born every minute. Oh, I don't. Most people think that he didn't say that. And I think the reason for that is because I don't think the slang term sucker lasted that long. Right? Right, right. But he was pretty vocal towards the end of his life, about the fact that he said that he would say people, it's not that people have a problem with being lied to. They actually crave it they crave being lied to. And so he would create these ridiculous things so people could be lied to because they liked they liked it. They liked being lied to about this. Fiji Mermaid. They like being lied to about George Washington's nurse or Unknown Speaker liked believing things Speaker 2 like weird stuff. And so yeah, he believed he believed that people were entertained by being lied to. And I liked it. And he was he built a career off of doing that for people. Speaker 1 No, I was doing it for your good. So he really was gaslighting at the end wasn't. Hey, you lied to us. Yeah. And you liked it? Geez. No, no, you craved it. You actually I remember you wrote me a letter one time when you were a small boy. Like I was Santa Claus. I'm you said hello, Mr. Pretty Tom Barnum, will you please lie to me? You remember that he's Unknown Speaker lying. And he's like, Wait, you're Unknown Speaker doing it? Right now? You're alright. You know? Yeah, cuz that's what you wanted me to do. That's okay. Unknown Speaker And in at 91, Speaker 2 his health started to really decline. And he knew it. And so he asked the newspaper to write his eulogy, so he could read it. Before he died. He's like, he's like, I think I'm gonna die. So you write my eulogy. Before I put it out, I want to read it first. And at the age of 80, he ends up dying of a stroke. His last words, were him asking his assistant to get him the receipts from last night's circus because he wanted to see how much they spent. And then he died of a stroke. Give me the receipt. never never never stopped working into the last minute. The reason we know about the reason we have circuses, probably honestly, and a major part of of the 13th Amendment, even though he was kind of a problematic person, the majority of cool for Unknown Speaker talking like mergeable. Okay, Speaker 3 this is this is what happens at the end of the day. This is what happens at the end of the radio tour when you walk around the museum with your earbuds in and the person narrates everything for you. Speaker 2 At the very end of it, they get really close to them like to finish the story. Okay, while you read the plaques and try to listen at the same time. It is very difficult. Why don't you give me the ears and the Speaker 3 Why did you give me yours at the same time? Sure.

Yeah, here he is after he became Unknown Speaker is this is a digitally colorized photos a colorized photo of him I printed the hat they put in when they colorized it. I know. They were like we're tired of doing this. That I can't do his hair back Digital Color artists. Unknown Speaker Here's a picture of her pointing and yelling at somebody probably staged. Unknown Speaker It looks like a stage deal. Here's a picture of him holding someone's baby. It's not his I know that for a fact, because of the story. Don't read that. I know that. Unknown Speaker And here's a picture of all I can't read that. When you say don't read that I scribbled. Unknown Speaker And here's a picture of him, resting his hands on a bald man's head. Unknown Speaker Oh, I love this era of America, where people just took really weird pictures, like really serious, weird pictures. This is his business partner. This was his business. This was the photo of him and his business partner who's on their website to get those on their website. This was about us. What year is this? Like? 1920 or something like that? Okay, when this one was taken? Yeah. Unknown Speaker It's not that funny. But it's like, can we take this picture? You know, you're a person who looks at people planking on the internet and you're like, ah, like it was funny. Yep. Unknown Speaker Yeah, yeah, we can take this picture in a few years when you're bald. Yeah. Good call. Unknown Speaker Wait, do you think something about first? You 100% 100%? Not even a question. I don't like how confident you are in that. I don't know. Let's look through the footage Unknown Speaker from three years ago. Unknown Speaker And just compare it to now. Just every time I turn my head back a little bit. Unknown Speaker People have been pointing it out to him. No one's been pointing out just my wife. My wife knows someone coming out the other day. Unknown Speaker I think it's because we brought it up. Right. We brought this up before Shut up. Okay. He was born in July 8 1885. in Baden, North Carolina. Now he's Unknown Speaker John Brinkley senior. His father, the first John First John R. Brinkley. He was married five times. First. First marriage ended due to the fact that apparently North Carolina or North Carolina had rules for marriages. One of them being you had to be old enough to get married. And his first marriage he was too young to he was too young. Yeah, he was too young. So they were like in the one 1800s Yes, the state was like, not that marriage. What age was he? I can't find that information. I just know that he's Unknown Speaker like 12 Unknown Speaker and he's like an eight year old Unknown Speaker Oh, that's what I'm saying. You know, like it was already, maybe, maybe, okay, this first marriage got overturned by the government. Unknown Speaker But the rest of his marriages didn't all five of the same woman, Unknown Speaker oddly enough, is for marriages. He always married women who are significantly younger than him. And, Unknown Speaker yeah, first one, I just want to make sure I understand his first one gets overturned because he's too young to get married. And then I'm assuming the second one's not that long after. Unknown Speaker I don't I don't know how long after it was, but I do know he was an older man marrying younger women. So I assume based on the stories of the other wives that he waited a few years after his first his first marriage was a little hard one for him to swallow. It took him a year. Yeah, over that. Literally his childhood love. Yeah. Unknown Speaker You know, Unknown Speaker it was It wasn't even his high school sweetheart is a kindergarten sweetheart and the state took her from Unknown Speaker the state took her mind to Unknown Speaker I lost her to the state. That's like if you Unknown Speaker I lost her to the state. Unknown Speaker That sounds like some domestic issues going on. No, I like the idea that like Unknown Speaker No, please, please finish your sentence. It's not gonna get much. Okay, cool. I like the idea of intent warning. Unknown Speaker I like the idea that you go on your honeymoon. And like you go like somewhere exotic to like a national park and you're camping and then your spouse goes missing. And then you come back and what you say is I lost her to the state. As in like, whatever state you were in where you lost her. The state took cool from me. Yeah, me and my wife went looking for treasure. Unknown Speaker Suspicious mountains. Unknown Speaker So married a whole bunch. Okay. Unknown Speaker worse over time, or is he just married five women? They died? They are. They're always younger than him. They always die. You know that my grandpa's been married 13 times? No, when I told you that. No, my grandfather has been legally married 13 times. That's exhausting. Yeah, my grandma was number two. Unknown Speaker And then divorce. Most of them. And like the last three have passed away because he's old now. I mean, that's that, let's say last two passwords and how he said like if you've been divorced more than twice, then it's probably like, Unknown Speaker no, he never got it. He never was like, I'm the problem. He they sent me he sent me an invite to his last wedding. Unknown Speaker It was like in Florida. He's ever wanted to come down for it. Yes. It's great. Great Grandson was his best man. I wrote back and said I'll catch the next one. So Unknown Speaker have you seen that Larry, David bit were these like, he's like, Would you ask him if he would travel for wedding? He's like, I'm like Jimmy Kimmel. I think we've seen that. No, Jimmy Kimmel is like, Unknown Speaker what's the farthest you travel for a wedding? And he's like, he's like, I don't know. It's throwing out and it's like, the guy gave it to them destination wedding. And he's like, No, I'm not gonna go to that. And like, what if it's your like, daughter? And he's like, I'm not going to that he's? And he was like, he was like, he's like, No, if you if you're expecting me to fly, he's like, I'm not going. He's like, he's like, an hour and a half drive is the farthest I'll go for a wedding. Okay, that's a good point. That's a good point. Good point, you flew to mine. Unknown Speaker I was Unknown Speaker I don't think we want to have that fight on a podcast. Unknown Speaker I don't think that you're Unknown Speaker a safe person. Unknown Speaker For me to be vulnerable with. Unknown Speaker Okay, so Unknown Speaker I'm just going to take those feelings and I'm going to shuffle. That's what I'm telling you, man. It's better that way. Unknown Speaker All right, Morty Go ahead. So Unknown Speaker all four of his wives died died before him. And they were younger than him significantly older than him. His fifth era Well, I don't know people died in the 1800s Yeah, just like you get the gist of common cold and you're dead. Yeah. You look at the sun for too long and you die. Awesome. It wasn't anything better Unknown Speaker by looking at the sun all day, all right. Kills Unknown Speaker coincide against Unknown Speaker that sounds gonna kill you. So Unknown Speaker he died his what he loved. Unknown Speaker Looking at the sun Unknown Speaker is fit Unknown Speaker wife Sara had. John The second was kind of wild that waited until his fifth wife to name one of his kids after himself. Did he have other children? Yes. Oh. Unknown Speaker Ran out of name. It was like I just named this one. How many kids do you have? How many kids you have before you do? One named after you? You know? I'm not sure. I know. I know. He has at least one sibling because it's talked about him. Unknown Speaker But I don't know how many like it doesn't have a list of siblings and his thing to prove the oldest sibling to be like the favorite and be like, you know, this is Junior. Quite another Unknown Speaker for like, the fifth kid to be like an old junior and, or, or, or Yeah, the other one used to be Unknown Speaker the second the second? Unknown Speaker Because Unknown Speaker I like him better. Sit him at the table at the table. Hey, so your name is not John Brinkley the second anymore? He traded it. Yeah. He traded it for a bowl of soup. Unknown Speaker Now gonna go buy? Unknown Speaker Sawyer? Unknown Speaker I don't know. That's an old name. Right, Sawyer? Anyways, so Sarah had him out of wedlock, and then they got married because that's what you did in that time. Unknown Speaker And while John was a child, one of Sarah's nieces also named Sarah moved in with them. Unknown Speaker When she was like, in their early second. Unknown Speaker Well, they figured that'd be too confusing. So they started calling her Sally. So is that real? Yeah, they call her Aunt Sally, instead of me. So, Sally, you move in somewhere that like a year ago. Unknown Speaker We already have too many Tim's. Unknown Speaker Tim and aunt, Tommy. Unknown Speaker Sorry, on wherever you're from. I don't know. Unknown Speaker They put Sally and Sally lives in the house. Right. Okay. Sarah, his mother died of tuberculosis when he was five years old. Okay. And then his father John died when he was 10. So now as you're saying, Sally, now it's just him and Aunt Sally. Unknown Speaker So, Sally, and Sally moved into seventh place to go now she has a kid. Unknown Speaker And probably all the others to actually but those ones didn't do anything historically valuable. So we don't know about them. They're not any dollar bills. Unknown Speaker Well, me there's this guy. But he made a lot of them. It's he he went to school in like a log cabin school. Okay, they had classes like two or three months out of the year. Unknown Speaker Depending on how good the year was, you know, they gave him an extra month if it was good. Unknown Speaker Graduated at 16 Sure. and got a job as a town to town sales are not salesman, mailman. So he he didn't put the mail in a box. But he carried it between towns. Yeah. So you had a big bag of here's all the mail for the next town and he had carried over. Thank you for explaining how the mail works. Well, I want to I want to make sure that everyone understands that he was not putting anything in stock for this. You could send a letter you gotta imagine like in the back then. Yeah, the mailman has to be real annoyed. If you put one that's like, far away. Yeah. And then you just know like, he's not gonna take it. I'll take that in like three weeks. How long were they actually delivering letters to the North Pole before someone was like we should stop doing this. They still deliver. Okay? They take them to NORAD. They take them all the nor Unknown Speaker you waste our valuable tax dollars. Of course, forcing those people to read. Read the letter. Make sure it's nothing out loud. Make sure Tara's Unknown Speaker gonna watch these kids these days. Unknown Speaker And so while he was in that log cabin school, though, there was another girl going to school there named Sally. Not as hot. Unknown Speaker But she was a year younger than him and she bullied him his whole life. You want to get married though? You're younger than him. Unknown Speaker But let him his whole life. They were enemies, not friends. Sally did a lot of emotional damage on him as a child. Unknown Speaker Okay, anyways, grew up in the mail of how she bullied him. No, just You said she bullied them. Okay. Yeah. Unknown Speaker Well, eventually they are. But that's different. Unknown Speaker Became a mailman. Yeah. And while mailing. Unknown Speaker He got into telegraphing, they taught him how to do that. Okay. And so he got a job in New York as a telegraph operator, and then moved to Jersey while he was in Jersey telegraph and he gets a call Sally's Unknown Speaker Sick is Sally and Sally is sick.

There's a guy who sits out Unknown Speaker at like crack the doors like, hey, there's so Unknown Speaker much going on out here. There's a person at your front door, taking extensive notes Unknown Speaker during ski, watch that latest steal my stuff. But it's not his job to get paid enough to intervene. He just gets paid enough to draw so she really did that to me though. She's just so calm. She's just so uncomfortable. And she's a little too comfortable. Now. I go hey, maybe you should buy stuff feelings. Yeah, I'm a boy her back. Yeah, yeah, that's what I always did. To my bullies. Okay, return the ball. I'm gonna lower into Unknown Speaker a tunnel Unknown Speaker with my friends. You know? Unknown Speaker That wasn't bullying. Unknown Speaker That was Unknown Speaker scary. 30 years. So he marries Sallie Mae Sallie. They moved to Chicago and he starts going to medical school. Okay. But it was like one of those medical schools but it's like, is Does that count? You know, you know, every medical school in the 1800s Yeah. And so he's going to this middle school school. After three years though, when they were just like, I know like, here's a cold math. Here you go. Unknown Speaker Actually, yes. And so he he's gone to medical school he's doing the thing would also cure your your Unknown Speaker deviated septum. Yeah, you're right. Unknown Speaker So he is going to medical school. And after three years in medical school, he gets kicked out for not paying any of his tuition at that time. And they're like, we've let you do this for three years. Unknown Speaker Come on. And so he moves to Kansas City, finds another questionable medical school in Kansas City. started going to school there. Same thing happens that doesn't pay as Arthur Bryan's medical school. Unknown Speaker Before they got a barbecue, Dr. Brian subdivides medical school. Yeah. Then he got his license taken away. But he was like he was like you don't want it's pretty similar to the math that I've been telling people barbecue sauce. Unknown Speaker So you just put some brown food coloring in it. Put it on some? Some ribs, okay. Unknown Speaker No, yeah. So he gets kicked out of that medical school again. And he decides, wait a second. I don't need to actually go to the school. And so he calls up a diploma mill in Kansas City and gets a medical license and just pays for it and start practicing medicine. Unknown Speaker In Unknown Speaker sidebar, his dad did this. Not like the fate of his dad was a real doctor. But sure he benefited from the Civil War where like he didn't have to actually get a license. He just got a war license, you know. And then he coasted off that the rest of his life Sure. But he wasn't doing well because he was in a small town where like, there just wasn't like, he wasn't like a rich doctor. He was like a man. If you're in a small town, you gotta go make people sick. Yeah, you know, his wife, his wife. Unknown Speaker Yeah. Oh, yeah, dude, that's annoying. He was creating all of your lifestyle and you're a doctor. And it's like, you got to live with that. And like, yeah, that's why you weren't getting good business Exactly. Like a doctor. Unknown Speaker He could even save his wife. Unknown Speaker That's just bad. PR. It's bad doctoring. Unknown Speaker That doctor. You go to a barber, and they all got bad haircuts. Yeah, you're like, you never want to go to the barber who has a good haircut. Why? Because he's not the one who did it. Unknown Speaker Someone else in that shop did so you want to go to the one that has the worst hair? Cut their own hair? Unknown Speaker Have you ever tried that? Want to go to the one with the worst haircut? No to cut your own hair? Yeah, it's hard. It's really hard anyways. So he gets a plumber gets a fake license, start practicing medicine can study and it goes decent for him. Like, decent, right? During the day in Kansas City. Do we know? I don't know, somewhere in Kansas. Unknown Speaker Does decent, but starts to have some weird rumors pop up about what yours is now. Like 1910s, something like that. Sharks have some rumors pop up about them, trying to face them some trouble ends up in St. Louis, where he met meets that bald guy. Unknown Speaker Yeah, this guy. And they got into medicine, a unique kind of medicine, which was the line. And so what they did is they they started selling German electric juice. Unknown Speaker And it was a German electric juice.

And how do they get caught? Someone came to their little shop and coughing and they're just like with the hose. And just Unknown Speaker it's like, this is how electric juice is. In Germany. This is the real deal. Yeah, yeah. So they started facing like legal issues and Unknown Speaker you take as much as you want before it's packaged.

And while he was in Spain facing legal trouble in St. Louis, she leaves him for good. Oh, yeah. And so that's a good point. She leaves him for good.

Unknown Speaker Fish being worked for the American Medical Association. Oh, and he heard about this. And he was like, that sounds made up. And so he came to observe one of these surgeries sure to see what was going on. And so he interviewed. He interviewed Brinkley, and he asked Brinkley like okay, can you tell me more about this procedure? And like I said, What? Gauguin's Unknown Speaker What is this decencies How can we replicate this? So medical institutions across the country can start to implement this, this thing? And he said, he said, I'm the only one I can do it. No one else can do it. I'm the only one who's who's able to do this, this procedure. And the vision means like, Okay, can I watch? And he's like, Sure. And so he lets him come in and watch the procedure and he sees it. And fish being is like, fish being realizes immediately. Unknown Speaker Hey, this guy is dropping. Yeah. Unknown Speaker I mean, nothing's actually happening. Well, he's just shoving the them in there. Like there's no actual, like medical reason why they should do anything. In fact, it actually probably causes a lot more harm than good because you have a foreign body just shoved into your body. And so he goes back to the American Medical Association and writes a paper produces it for their publication, being like, okay, yeah, this guy is someone that no one should ever seek medical attention from. And its license needs to be called into question. And so the American Medical Association starts to come after him. Unknown Speaker But doesn't actually like pull the trigger on anything. They're just publicizing things within their medical journals about the fact that the goat gland procedure is fake, and that Brinkley's doesn't have any central ATM. Essentially, the problem is the American Medical Association's journals were Unknown Speaker read by doctors. Yeah, it's all public. Yeah, all the doctors were like, oh, yeah, that guy's a fraud. But the public was hearing this guy on the radio, yeah, talking with authority, and they will continue to travel to get these procedures done on them. And so he Unknown Speaker fish being kind of launches this, this smear campaign, but the only place he can get published is in the medical journals. Okay. And so he's not Unknown Speaker being hurt. Yeah. It's not having an effect on the the success tree, if you will, yeah. And so his radio broadcasts just continues to get bigger and bigger and bigger. Unknown Speaker And finally, the state of Kansas, learns from the American Medical Association about his radio show where he's giving medical advice. And so the state of Kansas starts to the medical board in the state of Kansas starts to go through some legislation to regulate radio broadcasts, to not allow you to give medical advice over the air. Because they're like, that's probably not Yeah, not good, smart. And so they pass this legislation, and he gets his broadcast shut down. And he's not allowed to broadcast at all anymore in this crisis. And so he does what any logical person does moves, he runs for governor Unknown Speaker and says, I will run for governor and replace the entire medical board and change the law so I can have my radio station back. Unknown Speaker Okay. So he, he, he runs for governor and his his, his campaign was interesting, positively will reduce taxes and state expense. Yeah, so his, his campaign was interesting. He promised to reduce taxes, and open up more lakes than any other government. Any other governor in the history of Kansas, he was going to open a bunch of lakes, which is a crazy promise to make coupled with each other to lower taxes and open a bunch of legs. I don't know if like legs or legs are free, overall, but I'm so many legs. But his campaign was going really well. Because he was actually like, a pretty popular person in the state of Kansas for his surgery. And for his radio shows. And for the fact that during the campaign, most of the rallies were like, I mean, Kansas in the 18, or the 1930s. And so it's like, the rallies are happening, their campaign rallies are happening in fields somewhere. And so in he's a rich guy at this point. And so he was flying into all of his rent rallies and landing at the rally. And everyone was like, oh, I want that guy. I want that guy's cool. Unknown Speaker Got it? Okay. It's good to know that this. Unknown Speaker Cool. Unknown Speaker And his campaigns go really? Okay. We'll see you. Unknown Speaker Soon what you want to say I don't want to say Unknown Speaker it's escaping. It's going really, really well. Sure. He's got really good odds. He's, he's winning in the polls. And the state of Kansas sees this. And they go, like, we can't let this guy win. There's no way we're letting this guy become the governor. So they hurriedly pass a law where if you're a write in vote, because that was an important part of that his campaign, he launched his campaign just a little bit too late to be on the ballot. He had to be a write in. But he was still doing so well in the polls that they thought he's gonna get wrote in and actually when the governor so they pass the law that for writing votes, you have to print the name exactly as they tell you, you have to print the name. And so they wrote like you have the right John are Brinkley Sure. A lot of people just put John Brinkley so those folks got thrown out. Yeah. And so he ended up losing the governor. Race, but if it weren't for that, most people think he would have actually won because that law that got changed. Last second, a little sketchy. A little sketchy. Yeah. And so he lost that race. He tried again the next race and didn't get it. And so now it's been a few years and his business is struggling because his his lack of a radio station. Yeah. So he made the decision Unknown Speaker to move to Del Rio Texas. Yeah. Because Del Rio, Texas, significantly Unknown Speaker thing about Unknown Speaker where that city is located is it's right along with the Texas Mexico border. And there was an interesting thing that was happening between the United States and Canada and Mexico at the time. And that was Unknown Speaker the United States and Canada just got together and passed this legislation about long distance broadcasting. Okay, split up who has the rights, and the United States and Canada were like, we get all of the rights. And Mexico was like, We want some, and they're like, no, no, you don't. And Mexico was really mad about it. And so Mexico was just like, I whatever, fine. We're gonna give a bunch of people long distance radio rights, like I know, we're not supposed to, but we're doing it anyways. Because you guys were rude to us. And that thing that we did about it, like we got together, we said, we're going to do this and then you guys bullied me. And so we're doing our thing. And so and also, we're gonna get married. Unknown Speaker We're gonna get married in a few years, but we'll come back to it. That's an unhealthy complex I developed in childhood where I have a feeling for people who make fun of me and I really want to really need to earn your I want to chase you. So he moves to Del Rio, Texas for the Express reason that he knows why he doesn't have long. Yes, he doesn't have broadcast rights in the in the United States anymore. He got banned for the stuff that he was doing. He's like, I can get it in Texas, and are in a school in Mexico right across the border live in Texas. And so he opens up this radio station in, right on literally right on the other side of the border. Yeah, like you can see it from the fence. I don't know if there's a fence yet. Unknown Speaker Which you could see it from the Great Wall. Unknown Speaker And they the amount of Unknown Speaker like the offer that the country of Mexico gave to this guy's absurd. They gave him a 500,000 watt radio station, it was a two, there's two radio towers that are connected by this radio array. It is the most powerful, privately held radio station to ever exist. What broadcast range of this went to Canada, like well into Canada from the border, and so he could broadcast to basically the whole country. Unknown Speaker From right on the other side of the border, because this was such a massive radio array. And they still did it basically to be like, Screw you. Yeah. And because it was in Mexico, Mexico don't have any legislation yet. He could now broadcast whatever he wants. Sure. And so now, the entire US and Canada hearing about plans and Mexico is hearing about as grants. He's doing the same broadcasts he was doing in Mexico. They got goats. Yeah, they got all kinds of goats in Mexico. And so he's he continues doing his Koechlin surgery now in Del Rio moves into a hotel. Unknown Speaker going it's going pretty well moves into a hotel and Unknown Speaker rents out a couple of rooms in the hotel as his practice. Unknown Speaker Okay, which if you're seeking if you're going Unknown Speaker to show to Unknown Speaker Hampton in Unknown Speaker like, yeah, I'll see you in room 478 Oh, sorry. Don't go 678 Is someone from I don't know. Albuquerque. That's a family vacation. Unknown Speaker They're not going to help you. They will. They won't. But be careful. Be careful. The dude on Saturday night. I'll tell you up too, but he's not a doctor. He is just full of goats. That's where he keeps all the goats. It's like overflowing he's gonna push the door shut. Yeah. Unknown Speaker And then housekeepers are that's sheep. Goats bad two. Oh, they don't just they do know that they scream they don't buy they do bad. Oh, no. They go Unknown Speaker it's not Unknown Speaker different sounds. No, it's not play it back on her. He was going back and they go ah, goats make a bot sound similar to the sound of sheep make. However, goat vocalizations are closer to what's called a bleat. Which is a sound also sometimes made by cows and deer lower interesting Unknown Speaker so he he's he's running out of this hotel and it goes well he ends up buying the hotel and turning the whole hotel into his practice and he puts a neat little sign on it and calls it the brink the hospital in Del Rio, Texas No it's not. Unknown Speaker And now he's got an empire he's got her his his radio station is doing super well like he's he's actually broadcasting country music stars on this radio now that are getting their start on it. Sure. And he's got his his hospital that's crashing as well. Unknown Speaker The radio station thing becomes such a big deal a bunch of other competitors start opening up radio stations along the border and it becomes this thing known as border blasting. Which sounds different but it's it's just running a radio station on the border. Unknown Speaker Oh, Unknown Speaker It becomes a huge success from sportscasting success from border blasting and is raking in the dough manages in Del Rio, Texas to open up or to build. Unknown Speaker Wow giant home, which is now our good picture is he's got Dr. Brinkley on his gate. Yeah. Unknown Speaker Sounds still exist. Yeah, it's on the National Register of Historic Places. Oh, wow. So a, you know, it sucks what is like now that's like not a mansion Unknown Speaker you know? Yeah. And now that's that's I mean that's still cost you that's a how $7 billion? No Unknown Speaker it'll still probably cost three does the does the gate still say Dr. Brinkley? I don't think so. I don't think the gates there anymore. Which seems I bet yeah, it's on the National Register of Historic Places. He continued running his Unknown Speaker his radio station and his his How long is he doing this? I mean, this is into the 50s. Now, he's been doing this for 20 years now. Yeah, he's been doing it for decades are dying because of the Go clans? So yeah, so there's about 32 people that you can say their death was tied to the goat glands. It's Unknown Speaker there's a few you can say for sure. They got an infection from the grantee and that killed them. Okay. handful more where it's like, They that could have been the glands that killed him. It could have been stung. That just coincidentally happened at the same time. Okay, most of it was they got infection, so they died. Unknown Speaker And so yeah, it's becoming a serious thing. Fish being is still on his tail. There's been this whole time has been releasing articles in the American Medical Association journals, trying to slander his name, but he doesn't have like a lot of power. He's trying to do everything he can to take this guy down. But this guy's just too rich. He's got too much too much on him. Okay, so fish bean Unknown Speaker enters into a lawsuit against him. Unknown Speaker Basically being like you're operating under Unknown Speaker a fake diploma, and you're doing stuff that's actually killing people, like you should not be Unknown Speaker a doctor, you can't call yourself a doctor. And so he tries he tries to countersue him for defamation, okay, and Unknown Speaker dramatically loses this, this lawsuit Unknown Speaker ends up hitting getting hit in the 50s with a $3 million Unknown Speaker settlement that he has to pay which bankrupt him lose asset sales. Right. So he has to sell because he countersued Yeah, because he tried to do that countersuit. Unknown Speaker And so he ends up having to sell the hotel is his radio station, his home, Unknown Speaker loses everything in that suit, and is no longer able to practice medicine. Unknown Speaker And so without access to his ability to do medicine, and without access to his radio station, he's pretty much lost his ability to make it Yeah. And so that was kind of the end of the story for him. He ended up suffering three or three heart attacks and got some I can't be Davis. Unknown Speaker Okay. Unknown Speaker three heart attacks and got his leg amputated. Yeah, it just feels so unrelated. Like, okay, the leg amputation. Unknown Speaker Pretty Pretty. Go leg on there. Give me Unknown Speaker like one knee goes forward and one knee goes back. But there's so much shorter so it only goes down just Unknown Speaker like it's got this weird diagonals Unknown Speaker Yeah, when he walks it's really weird. Circles. Unknown Speaker It's like I tried to tell him I tried to tell him to just put a goat gland in there, but they put the whole leg Unknown Speaker I went under and I woke up like this. Me a tall one. Pick up the shortest one and what are they called? The kids the pack? Pack? I don't know. Unknown Speaker So yeah, so he was taught. I don't know what to tell Sally about this, please. Unknown Speaker She'll make fun of me so much for this facer? Oh, they'll go boy Unknown Speaker I hate it but I also like it. Oh, I have more than external problems. Unknown Speaker So he, he ended up getting buried in Tennessee for some reason. Memphis, Tennessee. I don't know how that happened. Yeah, he was, uh, probably near Elvis. So he got buried there and he had this like monument with a Angel at the top of it. And in 2017 Someone stole the angel. So now it's a monument Unknown Speaker really tall monument with just the angels foot at the top of it. So Unknown Speaker that's the story. funnier if they left the whole leg Unknown Speaker as it started John Brinkley, a man who managed to scam a bunch of people with a fake that how long after the last day die? Um, I think how long did he live poor at the end? See? Unknown Speaker Like four or five years? Not very long. Unknown Speaker And so yeah, I don't know three years. Unknown Speaker So yeah, so II, he survived off of a fake medical license for decades with a fake medical license was a pioneer in broadcast radio and advertising started border blasting which was a huge deal through the 30s and 40s Unknown Speaker and had a political career of sorts. So Unknown Speaker and it's all thanks to the Koch glands. Unknown Speaker Wow. That's John Brinkley, and his dad was married five times. That was a detail that was the story wasn't it? Unknown Speaker I just wanted to get the fact that there's so many Sally's in his lives. Unknown Speaker More Saudis than makes sense. That's the reason that Sally shut up Unknown Speaker I'm joking Unknown Speaker What are you doing Unknown Speaker now their nannies Yeah. Yeah, their nannies as close as it's close.

Unknown Speaker Hey man Criss Angel talks sneaky okay cool Have you ever heard of the Lost Dutchman mine? Speaker 1 What do you do every time you introduce a topic you go Have you ever heard of glitter Unknown Speaker I've ever heard of Tommy fit? Unknown Speaker I just I'm excited to be here. Okay, just happy to Unknown Speaker add people die Speaker 2 before it got into packaging. You can eat as much candy as you want. Unknown Speaker That's not true. Speaker 2 This is the story that kind of catapulted this into a big deal. My mother in law thought we were gonna get killed by the cartel Speaker 1 that actually is true why we had to stop. It's the most bodacious force. I can say that. Things I Learned last night Speaker 1 so the Lost Dutchman Lost Dutchman mine is that it sounds like a roller coaster like a theme park. It Unknown Speaker really does. Actually. Speaker 1 It's no longer the end. There's like a Flying Dutchman that like, you know, you know, the rides were like something comes down and then you dip, Speaker 2 which I want you to actually Could you describe the Flying Dutchman to me without using SpongeBob? Like what does the Flying Dutchman look like? Well, he looks like or just any Dutchman? Unknown Speaker There's a character in animated series. Speaker 2 No, I don't want you to use that one. If you picture a Flying Dutchman without the Flying Dutchman from Spongebob. What does that Speaker 1 look like? Okay, well, he's got wooden shoes. And he's got like, you know, you know, the Dutch little windmills. That's what he's got on his back. And the propeller. That's the Flying Dutchman. I thought when you said the when he's wearing those, like, later husband? Yeah. Yeah. And I was getting there later. Hosen. Yeah. Well, I had some of those in RuneScape. What's his face? They did a they did like a little special event thing. And if Unknown Speaker you watch the RuneScape videos, I sent you the other night. Unknown Speaker No, I'd already seen him. Unknown Speaker That kid getting 99 You know, I'm talking about? Unknown Speaker Yeah, yeah. It was like a reality show. Speaker 2 No, no, no, no, no, it was in the game. It wasn't he was playing the game. And I don't know. I don't know. Like, he had to line this up. Like he got himself up to where he was like, one hit away from 99 in like every step, okay. And he was like going through town, maxing out each stat and and like, he was like, live streaming. It was like balabac Hitting 99 I love that. And everyone was like, I don't think he told everyone on the stream that he was like, about to hit 90 That and everything cool that he did that. And so it's just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. It was. It was a fun watch. You should go back into the 200 Tick Tock videos. Yeah, don't watch that I sent you. It's in there somewhere. And Speaker 1 Reagan lay in bed at night.

It's our favorite show Unknown Speaker talks. Anybody? Yeah. Unknown Speaker I'm not gonna watch that video. Because I want to cheer on that kid. Unknown Speaker Well, it's interesting. Yeah, it's it's an exciting watching. Good for you. What even is flushing Unknown Speaker flushing is where you make bows and arrows. Interesting. Speaker 2 So you you could make a really good Boehner you just couldn't use it. I had live pretty good archery skills too, but not as good as make archery skills. Speaker 1 Not as good as making it. Yeah. Super rich off that though. So I was more of a businessman. And that's fair. That's where it came out with the Grand Exchange ruined my entire business model because the entire thing kind of was a scam when you think about it. Like I saw a really funny Runescape post. This is so inside but press post that was like when I was 13 I was manipulated by a 30 year old man on RuneScape to mine pure essence for 30 GP. They were like I was in a slave called mining. Speaker 2 That was the beauty of all of like, early 2000s online games like Neopets or Inscape. Unknown Speaker Down Yeah, Speaker 2 Club Penguin, all of them it was old men scamming kids into getting the Speaker 1 point man not like old guys. Well and like they were making they're making money on it, dude. Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, there's a business for everything. I buy gold coins and people are doing that and I'd like fortnight and stuff. Speaker 1 Oh, absolutely. Yes, yes, yes. Yes. Yes. Get into that. Absolutely. No, I bought I bought like a million gold coins for like 60 bucks, one time thing, or 3 million or whatever it was, whatever the whatever the exchange was exchange, right? Yeah, just like that's where I got it for like one of my Christmas gifts. I asked, Hey, can you buy me gold coins in RuneScape? Yeah, Unknown Speaker where can I buy them Speaker 1 my, my dad did it. And then said, Son, this is the last time we're going to do anything. And he sat me down had a really serious talk where he said, we would love for you to go back to college. Speaker 2 We've been doing this for you for too long. We're not going to Speaker 1 son, you got to earn 3 million coins in the game. Unknown Speaker And that's when you got 99 in Flushing. Speaker 1 Really? It was. I was like, Okay, I'll go I'll show you. Unknown Speaker This is a very similar situation the last time Speaker 1 I kept waiting for you to switch back the Dutchman and you kept doing Runescape stuff. I was okay. Speaker 2 I'll do. Mine is a very similar concept. Unknown Speaker Yeah, mining is involved. Yeah, yeah. Speaker 2 So this is the story. Maybe the legend is a better word, but it's it's the most well known. Dutchman it's the most it's the most well known lost mine. in existence. I don't know how many lost minds you've ever heard of. But Speaker 1 it's not the is it is a mind that we don't know where it is. Kind kinda didn't know where it was. We found it. Speaker 2 Let me paint the picture. Okay, there was a man named Jacob waltz, who lived in the 1800s died like 1890 something. And an 1840s he had this weird habit that, Speaker 1 you know, we're like, the last people who will have a one in our birth year. Yeah, we know the beginning. Like, that's a little crazy to think about. Actually, Speaker 2 our grandkids will write papers about it. And literature classes be like my Speaker 1 grandpa's birthday is 1994. And people were like, holy crap. He's a goblin and we'll have like, go to their class to ah, that's gonna suck, dude. Yeah. Because especially cuz we're like, we're like, 90s kids. So we're like, going out. Live. Everyone out. Everyone Speaker 2 else? Yeah. Yeah, they're gonna be like, there'd be like he was born and there was no brain tips. And they're all dumber than Unknown Speaker they're all gonna go. Ah. The future the brain chips messed up. They don't know how to do that anymore. Unknown Speaker Did you know that the Tough Mudder has. Speaker 1 Nevermind. Don't want to know what you just said. So Jacob walls died in 1892. Speaker 2 Jacob waltz? Yeah. In the 1840s he had this weird habit that popped up out of nowhere, and everyone thought was strange. Okay. Take a guess. What do you think? Unknown Speaker I don't know. What is it? He Speaker 2 paid only in gold nuggets for everything. And so Unknown Speaker yeah, gold nuggets. Yeah, he went mining for gold. Speaker 2 Yeah. But he didn't like refine it. Yeah, it wasn't worth as much. It was just raw gold nuggets. Okay. And he did this for the rest of his life just paid for everything in gold nuggets. And everyone's like, well, here's Jacob waltz, Walton with his golden nuggets. Who knows? Okay, we don't know what we know. Mr. Payne and golden nuggets. Okay. And then he did your thing. On his deathbed. He pulled his he pulled his son in and said, Hey, there's this mine. There's a mine. And there's he's Dutch. Right? There's this mine that I found. It has got a lot of gold in it. Unknown Speaker That's what we've been living Speaker 2 off of. Yeah. And then he tells them how to find it. But he doesn't give very good directions. Speaker 1 Because he's like dying. Go find Unknown Speaker it's Speaker 1 it took him a second to realize the joke I was making was I wasn't proud of that. Unknown Speaker Cheese. Yeah, just like that actually. is insane. Goes trying to find the mind. Never mind. Speaker 2 But he tells some people about it. Who finds it. Yeah. He tells some people about it. Tell some people about it. And now it's like a legend. It's out there that there's this mind and so it's supposed to supposedly last in the Superstition Mountains. Which I don't know if you've heard there were there were they're called. Yeah, they're in Arizona. north of Phoenix. Speaker 1 Oh, what? Yeah, this is in the United States. Yeah. What are we doing? Hear Unknown Speaker I guess that's a good point. Unknown Speaker Let's go. Speaker 2 Well, here's the deal. It's, it's become a big deal because, I mean, starting really in like the 1890s people started trying to find this mine. word started to spread pretty rapidly, people started searching for them. And it's shrouded in mystery, because a lot of people who've tried to find the mine have mysteriously been murdered Unknown Speaker Okay, Unknown Speaker for example, there was Speaker 1 oh, there was a YouTuber who was looking for this mine. His series. Yeah, right. No different. Unknown Speaker I don't know if a YouTuber has been looking for Okay, do you? Speaker 1 Maybe it wasn't this mind. But there was a YouTuber who like was searching for something in the desert. Yeah. And was like, you know, had been looking for it for many years. It's shaped like an M. There's like, okay, hold on. Wait a minute. There's no there's like a cave that has an edit the cave entrance looks like an M. And you'll have to look it up. Just Google. You have a computer in front of you. cave entrance in shape. It'll pull it up, I promise. And so this YouTuber has documented he found this cave. He's got pictures that he was showing a video and all that stuff. Speaker 2 The M cave of Kenny Veatch? Unknown Speaker Yeah. And then he's been missing. He's like he's gone. Unknown Speaker Interesting. Well, it's probably Speaker 1 a completely different topic. Yeah. But looking at that later. Speaker 2 It's probably a very simple, similar situation that's happening here. Unknown Speaker Where are people going? Speaker 2 Well, here's, here's the story. This is this is the story that kind of catapulted this into a big deal. And in 1931 a treasure hunter who I don't know if that was his career, or if that was just like a hobby or something he'd Can Unknown Speaker you put that on your LinkedIn? Is that an option? Treasure Hunter, you can Speaker 2 put anything in your LinkedIn? No, I'll do it at treasure hunter, Adolph Ruth. It's 1931 Speaker 1 You know what I bet Discovery Channel would give us a lot of money to be treasure hunters. Or History Channel. Unknown Speaker Both of them would. Let's pitch a show. Unknown Speaker treasure hunters. Speaker 2 i We might be honest at the near Okay, no. So this guy Unknown Speaker treasured friends. What if we what if we're Treasure Island? Speaker 2 What if we're you? It's treasure hunters. But we're hunting for treasure. But we can only eat animals that we hunted ourselves on the hunt. And so we're hunting we're also hunting right and a duck lied. Speaker 1 You and I are the treasure. You and I have not shot or caught anything. You and me we have an eight week the most outdoor men that I know. Speaker 3 We cut the last ditches treasure drinking our Speaker 1 own pee Bear Grylls style. And we'll ever have of mine that treasure. And we go we found it. We found it and we're showing the caravan. It's a pile of rice, little Unknown Speaker schooling and all this gold because we're like Speaker 1 delusional. And then discoveries like we can't release this footage. We actually have to burn this footage. Because we've ruined these two lives. People's lives. Yeah, that's fine. I'm down for that though. Speaker 2 So Adolf Ruth, he he was a treasure hunter and he went and searched Lost Dutchman mine, okay. told his family about it was like I'm going to the Superstition Mountains, and they were like, We don't know if that's some place you should go just based on the name. But he did it anyways. And he disappeared. didn't come home. Two months later, his body was found without his head. And month after that they found his head with two bolt holes in it two miles away. So a little obscure, little. Okay. And that hit the news. And everyone was like we there's a treasure up there. Unknown Speaker That's what they got. Okay. Speaker 2 Yeah, exactly. Everyone heard about this murder. And but I'm like the subtext of the murder was like looking for treasure. Go Speaker 2 if we just take the whole town, all 400 of us. And we marched into the mountains. Unknown Speaker That's current. I mean, they can't take us off. Gotta Speaker 2 do. Yeah. Well, they did. So over the next few years, tons of people started going In searching for this mine kinds of people died. Speaker 1 Tons of people. A lot of them we say tons of people, how many were talking? I mean, 80 ish. 80 people die. Most of the people die most of us and most false Speaker 2 most Yeah, most of the deaths were falling off of cliffs or getting lost and dying of starvation or heat exhaustion, where most of the deaths were ruled as, okay, a handful were ruled as suicides. Which is strange, that they're like, I'm gonna go find this treasure and then Unknown Speaker and then I'm gonna quit. I couldn't Speaker 2 find the treasure. Tonight, which I mean, I don't know, maybe depending on how confident they were when they left. Speaker 1 I mean, if they already spent the money, there's a chance there's Unknown Speaker a chance, I guess. Speaker 1 Hey, this checking out this episode, if you like this one. Or if you don't like this one. There's so many other ones, right? If you're halfway through this one, and you're like, I hate this, I want to go check out the Richmond TV vigilante. It's an episode we did a while ago. It's a little bit of a shorter one. But one morning in Richmond, Virginia, he's people wake up with just TVs on their front porch. No idea where they came from, until one person checked their ring doorbell footage and got a decent surprise. So Richmond TV vigilante is a great episode. If you're gonna go check that out later. But for now, back to this one. Speaker 2 But there was a handful that were ruled suicides that were it's strange that it was rolled because those were like multiple gunshots suspicious. And so Unknown Speaker there were multiple gunshot wounds. Yeah, like Speaker 2 eight off eight offs was true, too. And it was legitimately like, like legally classified as a suicide. Which is Unknown Speaker and then pretty unlikely his own head. Speaker 2 Yeah, I think the official report is shot himself in the head twice. And then an animal took his head somewhere else. And animal happened upon him and was like, Ooh, dibs on that. I don't I don't Speaker 1 You should laugh more when you're talking about this. This is great for the students Speaker 2 100 years ago. Okay. Um, so it's, Unknown Speaker it's, I wrote a paper about it, though. So, Speaker 2 for this assignment, we're supposed to interview our grandpa about what it was like living in 1930. And I can't do that. Unknown Speaker Because Because 1930 was a rough time. So okay. 80 people have died looking Speaker 2 for this have died looking for it. And so it's become pretty famous. Oh, the camera crew that can't kill us. Right. So there's another layer that was discovered into this story shortly after aid off Ruth. And that's that there was a Mexican family that allegedly owned this mine named the Peralta's at a ranch in the Superstition Mountains. Okay. And the Peralta's were like, miners, yeah, in that mine. And waltz. Walston there was like gold, and would sneak gold out of the mine. And so it wasn't his. But because of the gold rush. And the fact that melanoma is the Pearl has kind of kept it as like a, like a hidden mine on their food. Like they didn't want it to be obvious where it was they tried to hide this mind. And so there's allegedly, this map at the Peralta's owned to lead anyone in the family to their mind, and they call them the Peralta stones. And we have these these are in a museum in the superstition Museum, which is the museum in the Superstition Mountains. It's not a Museum named after superstition. It's all about the mountains. But also they have this weird stones with them. These are directions this is supposed to be a map to Speaker 1 the Latin heart, a priest and horse map. Yeah, that's a map. So here's another trail maps. Speaker 2 I've got like a diagram that illustrates it. So here's what we're looking at here. They're like these like red terracotta stones that have just been kind of scribbled all over. Okay, really is what it looks like. So one of them literally just says Don, and that's why these have been ascribed to the Peralta's, because the guy's name was Don Peralta. And so everyone's like, Oh, this is Don Peralta stones Speaker 1 in relation to Jake Peralta. Yeah, the great, Speaker 2 great grandpa. Okay. And then above that is the front side of the Dawn stone has scribbles and up bunch of scribbles and line numbers yeah some numbers it looks two equals Speaker 1 three minus Dona minus 18 equals seven yeah Speaker 2 doesn't know math and then there's another stone on the other ends reminds me Unknown Speaker a lot of a door I've seen Unknown Speaker where does the door go? Unknown Speaker No the door Unknown Speaker What are you talking about? Are Unknown Speaker you talking about the door Unknown Speaker about Monsters Inc? Speaker 1 Oh, I'm talking about the door with a bunch of scribbles on it that we've spent three days in our Discord. deciphering Unknown Speaker Todd's door Speaker 2 man, that door is weird. Yeah, so no, not that. If you're if you're not Speaker 1 1847 in the heart. Yeah, if you're not in the discord you should be Oh, yeah, there's a degree the degree symbol Speaker 2 that is that's something no one's ever said. But that's an interesting that's interesting. Okay, yeah, let me continue describing this for our listeners. The other set the other stone there's a front and back picture here and so the front of it says esta better at us as peligrosa your boy 18 Unknown Speaker Lou Gehrig's Speaker 1 I want you to know listen are the mindspace Corazon but they spoke Corazon wrong as this guy is. Speaking, clearly never taken a Spanish class in his life. I just I've done so confidently. Unknown Speaker Duolingo Duolingo Duolingo. Speaker 1 You can't even say the app. Maybe, maybe chill out. So yeah, it's it's, you don't quit trying to spend five minutes to just look it up, folks. Well, no, this is important link to it in the description. There is a link to this image. Okay, cut them off. There's an edge cut to the next there's not a Speaker 2 witch that's there is there's a cross. It's a witch because a witch with a cross shaking a bunch of ingredients out of the cross. And then there's a horse next to a river. And horses also spelled wrong. And the horse has. It's the most bodacious horse I've ever seen. I could say that. Speaker 1 describing these images, is the worst moment of our entire podcasts. Okay, but then there's a middle one that don't have horses bought that way. Unknown Speaker There's a middle one that's got a heart carved out of it. Oh, Speaker 1 it's not. That's what the that's the that's what the horse sat down. Like? Says 1847 And it says one zero. And I think that's a degree sign. Because why? Because why would they make a zero? You know? Speaker 2 Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, there's a dagger on it a bunch of other squiggly lines. But then the heart to heart you can put the heart in and you can switch directions of it. And it lines up with the map. Allegedly. Oh, one side of it does. Oh, Speaker 1 weird. I see what you're saying. Yeah. What? Speaker 2 And so the idea is that you can flip it over and zoom in. And so you're looking for the Corazon, which is the heart and so there's something that I guess looks somewhat like a heart that you're trying to find. And once you find it, then that leads you to that and then you flip it over and you find Unknown Speaker because look, there's a heart on that one. Yeah. Speaker 2 Oh, and so doing we Unknown Speaker could find this. Speaker 2 That's what a lot of people say and then they die. And so these these are one of the biggest things that people have clung to Unknown Speaker go down. I'm gonna die. Unknown Speaker This is how you get to the mind. Unknown Speaker Oh, dude, we're gonna find this thing. Speaker 2 Here's the thing though. I don't feel like these are quality matte, like, nothing about this map. makes any sense? Unknown Speaker Yeah. To you and I Unknown Speaker right. Okay, what do you try to say? Speaker 1 I'm no, I'm saying that if you were in the family, you wouldn't understand the maths. Speaker 2 Yeah, maybe there's a lot of familial symbolism in here. Right? Yeah. Speaker 1 Like we could make a secret map that only tilam listeners would understand. Unknown Speaker That's a good point. Actually. You know, should we do that something once we find Speaker 1 the mind we'll make a map for our well we got to do this because I can't believe people are we gotta go on our little chillin road trip soon because people are destroying the things we talk about sexy to Georgia. Guidestones are gone. They got Unknown Speaker blown up. Yeah, yeah. Speaker 1 We His record is gone. Because we talked about her race next. Speaker 2 And so long story short, a lot of people have started looking through these, these maps, okay, and deduced that the horse is the key. And okay, which seems strange, it seems like the hearts the bigger deal, but they deduce that the horse is the key. And the horse tells them that it is this mountain in the Superstition Mountain Range, Mount superstition. And Speaker 1 is this net? Is this national park though? Yes. So you can't just walk in there. Speaker 2 I mean, you just pay your entry fee. You can walk around anywhere. Most national parks you can do whatever you want it. It's just the Grand Canyon. That they're weird about and even the Grand Canyon. Like once you're in you're in imaginative care ports for like that. Speaker 1 Yeah. Anyways, I don't know why you said that. But that's okay. This sounds a crime later. Unknown Speaker They a lot of people think Unknown Speaker that this looks just like a horse. Speaker 1 Is it a lot of blind people? What are you talking about? Like a horse? What they're saying I don't see a horse here. I see. Like a weird face though. In the middle. What you don't see that face, Speaker 2 I do kind of see it. What they say is that this mountain has Four Canyons coming off the side of it, legs of a horse. And then the tail of the horse allegedly points to where the treasure is. And so if you follow that tail that's wrapping around, that's where the treasure is. And then you use the heart map. Unknown Speaker Okay, good. What is this mean in English? Speaker 2 So here's what this says. Okay, so first, the one that says Dawn translates to Dawn Speaker 1 next, My patience is just I'm almost there, dude. Speaker 2 The next one is the horse. We'll talk about the horse. Okay, the horse says so on the left. It's pointing out this river thing and it says the horse of Santa Santa Fe. Yeah. And then on the right of the horse. It says I grazed north of the river. Okay, so that's interesting. So there's some Unknown Speaker that were that mountain ranges. Speaker 2 I don't know actually. Well, that's those are the ones the other ones say that hold on, hold on. Okay, so the other one says, and this one is the one with the witch shaking up the cross. This one says this Beretta is dangerous. I boy 18 places look for the map. Look for the heart. Speaker 1 Okay, so we've got the map and the heart. Speaker 2 Yeah. And it's interesting because 1888 is over here is up a few times 18 is over there. 18 is over there. 18 is in the heart. Eight teens on this 118 comes up a lot. Speaker 1 Well 18 is in the harvest is 1847 Tim Well, there's a theory it's not the year Speaker 2 a lot of people say it's the year but there's a theory that those are mile markers. And so each of the mile markers mile marker 18 I feel like Unknown Speaker this is about to be a treasure hunting podcast that we do. Speaker 2 We're about to get it. Treasure I hunted last night Speaker 1 treasure I hunted last night I don't know if that flows as well as Speaker 2 it's still tilling. It's just in the middle. You kind of got a half Speaker 1 I don't know maybe we should just make it things I hunted last night. It gives me a little more broader of a more directions to go for season two, you know? Just in case we have to guess we just shifted people anyway. We're bounty hunters one season give added and we became about the other Oh, dude. Okay. Hey, can you imagine if we became bounty hunters though? Tim looked me in the eyes. Unknown Speaker Yeah, he's a bounty hunter. It's the T and you were Speaker 1 two gallons. The tea. Yeah, I've Speaker 2 just got my tea and my brownie to cut down tea. Unknown Speaker Topic wasn't the episode that we lost. Speaker 2 Of course, I remember the topic of the episode that we lost. Do you not? Unknown Speaker I don't remember. So you could do it again. As I'm saying. Unknown Speaker No, I can't. It's still in the news. Speaker 1 What? No, not the episode we couldn't release which is available to our Patreon supporters. I'm saying the episode that we lost way back when when we first started doing video and audio recording. And someone didn't record the audio. Speaker 2 Ah, good to be honest. I don't remember but do we have those files somewhere? The video files? Yeah. Well then yeah, let's watch the video. Unknown Speaker In like what overdub it really read our Speaker 2 mouths, we'll figure it out. If we watched me say what it is, I'm sure we could figure out what I said, Speaker 1 Okay, well, we do have a lot, we do have a, we have two loss episodes, that one that we've like literally lost because of production stuff, and then to one that we could not put out, but it's available to our patrons. Unknown Speaker And now three, because this one's about murdered. Speaker 1 Hey, it's me again, thanks for being here for this episode. If you like what we're doing, it does cost us money to do this.

Yeah, Speaker 1 they can text Tillandsia 66866. Thanks, Jared. Speaker 2 Okay, I'm looking through I'm looking at the map of the Superstition Mountains and I'm not seeing a river. I'm gonna be honest with you. Speaker 1 Yeah. It was it has the reo on there. Speaker 2 Yeah, it's I mean, it's depth are definitely talking about a river but like looking at the map, north of the river. And I mean, here's the deal. It's the middle of Arizona, and it's been 100 years. And so like, there could have been a river there before we you know, we did the Industrial Revolution. Speaker 1 Okay. Just throw it on the Wayback Machine. Oh, you're I see what it looks like back then. Okay, so pull up given a real map of this place. Speaker 2 Of the Superstition Mountains. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, well, there is a salt river up north of it. Oh, right next to Tortilla Flat. Unknown Speaker And guacamole Valley. What are you talking about right now? Unknown Speaker I'll show you. So here's here's a map straight from Google Maps. Okay. The Salt River is up there. Speaker 1 I grazed north of the river. Yeah. It might be the Salt River. It's in these mountains right here. Speaker 2 Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's not maybe that's what everyone's problem is, is they're looking at the unless it's Speaker 1 like in this area right over here. Yeah, I'm saying they're all looking right there because they're idiots. Oh, we're talking about El Capitan right now. That's the same one. Speaker 2 From like, Mac. Yeah, I don't think so. This is an Arizona. Okay. I thought all that was in California. Yeah, I think it was two years. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, maybe it is north of the river up there. Speaker 1 I don't know. The math literally says, I was I say I dwell north of the river. I graze I graze Speaker 2 north of the river. Here's the thing though. This map is no one. There's no real connection to the mine. Sure. Nothing about this map says here's where to find the gold. Yeah, it's just a bunch of weird scribbles. And allegedly a mind Speaker 1 this could all just be a kid coming. Yes. Could be is that a knife on Unknown Speaker a knife on that? It's, it could be completely unrelated. Unknown Speaker There's a lot of detail in the police though. Speaker 2 The one thing that people say to like, be like, Oh, it's talking about the gold is those donuts that are saying that's the symbol for gold? Which I don't know if it is I think it's I think it's just a donut. Okay. Oh, don't say 1867 underneath the pre Speaker 1 18 4700 You should it's a 400% Speaker 2 Maybe right. Anyways, so this whole thing, it could be this could be related to the gold could not. But people have used it to try to find where this is located. Here's the thing though. The Peralta's there's no evidence of a Peralta family living in the area. The only evidence that we can find of a Peralta family of Mexican descent is in Oakland, California. They were ranchers. But that's pretty far from here. These clay tablets have been ascribed to them. But we don't really know where they came from, or who found them or why. And so this connection is pretty loose. It's very, very loose. And there's not really a good reason for us to believe that it's connected to it other than the fact that it's part of the legend. People say it is. There's another story, though, of a guy named Dr. Thorne, who was a Army doctor, who allegedly was kidnapped by the Apache Tribe in the 1940s. And, okay, they said, someone in our tribe is sick. And so He nursed them back to health. And as payment for the work, they blindfolded him, and they draw them Speaker 1 loose in the mind that whatever you grab is yours. Like those, like you've ever been, like a middle school fundraiser event, and they've got that little wind tunnel with all the dollar bills in it, and he's got to grab as much as you can. They're like, we're gonna put you in our Goldmine that we have, and you just grab whatever you can. And then he got bit by a snake because he couldn't see. So it's dark in the mind, no need to blind. Speaker 2 So they know they they blindfolded him, and they took them around the desert for hours, like, you know, like we did call it time up and drive him around. Yeah, so Unknown Speaker they wouldn't know where they were. Speaker 2 Yeah. And so they did that thing, took them around town, took them to the mine. And they were like, tada, we have a mine of gold. Cut off a goldmine. And then they're like, you can have some gold, whatever you can carry as payment for your services. And, and then he grabbed a bunch of stuff as much as he could carry. And they blindfolded him back up and took them away. He just got Unknown Speaker a hold. It just Speaker 2 just carried a bunch of gold through the desert blindfolded. It was like in the basement all along. Like it wasn't even that far away. Yeah, they just turned the heat up really high in Unknown Speaker the house back and forth. Speaker 2 So he's carrying the gold, and then gets back out like they let him they get back to the tribal lands, and then they let him go. And then he goes home. And he tells everyone and he's like, look at all the gold that they gave me. And everyone's like, wow, this is a crazy story. We don't believe but you do have gold. So maybe it's true. Yeah. And everybody's like, tell us where you found it. And he's like, Unknown Speaker he's like, Well, I Speaker 2 don't know. They blindfolded me. And he No, he showed no, what years. This? is 1840s. Okay. And he showed no 1840s Yeah, no. 1940s. He showed no, like, desire to, like, try to find this actual. Unknown Speaker He's like, I got what I wanted. Yeah, he's Speaker 2 like, I got some gold. I don't need more. I'm a content man. Again, the veracity of this story, is can be called into question. Okay. Because there's no record of a guy named Dr. Thorne in the US Army. Okay, so a Unknown Speaker lot of these stories. I'm sure his name's not doctor. You think it's just Mr. Thorns? What do you what do you think like, well, Speaker 1 if you're looking at the army records, and you go Dr. Thorne Yeah, his name is not doctor. Well, it's Richard. Speaker 2 I mean, fair. So he, this story is is questionable. Again. The point I'm trying to make here is a lot of these stories are very questionable stories. Sure. A lot of people have gone looking for this mine. Okay. And they've died, but they probably died because it's a national park in a desert. That is dangerous. Okay. And yeah, maybe some of them got murdered. But honestly, people get killed in national parks all the time. Like that's what murderers murderers frequent national parks like that's a that's one of their hotspots, you know, like they're okay they hang out at those voices point Unknown Speaker are you making right now? Speaker 2 What I'm trying to say here is I don't know if there is a Lost Dutchman mine there's there's this this I don't know there's some believers who really believe that it's out there somewhere find hidden in the Superstition Mountains that you can find and and get rich off of. But a lot of these stories, they seem like Legend. And a lot of these deaths they seem like happenstance. And one of the more significant parts of this is throughout the region. There's a bunch of gold mines sure, like a bunch of gold mines and so there's a pretty good chance that if this was in the 1840s that this guy found this mine Unknown Speaker that is just one of those ones Speaker 2 we already know about. Yeah, that He died and when he died, maybe no one knew about it or maybe he was just sneaking into some other random mine and yeah, napkins gold. off the top, which I guess I don't know how gold mines work, but he's just flicking off a little bit of when I worked at that candy factory and it just kept some candy, you know, off the talking about what Unknown Speaker the factory Did you work at? Speaker 2 I worked for a week at Mountain Man fruit and NAPCO in Parker, Colorado, and they fired you. Yeah, that's because you were stealing candy off the top? No, for different reasons. I don't think you can just fly. Speaker 1 That's not one of those things. You're gonna say go. I got fired for a different reason for a reason. But it wasn't. Well, I was at work one day, and a reporter showed up. And they were like, Who do you sell the Moschini to? And I said, and it became this whole big thing. And I like let it play out for a little bit. And then the owner was like, tell them your job. Go. And you're like, I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah. And then they fire me. Yeah, yeah. Speaker 2 No, they had a they had a policy where before it got into packaging, you can eat as much candy as you want. That's not true. Speaker 1 Packaging. You. You couldn't eat it. Is that what you thought the policy was legitimately Speaker 2 the policy? Everybody did it. And so you most people would just walk by the conveyor belts. And every time they walked by the conveyor belts and just kept some chocolate and eat the chocolate. Unknown Speaker There's no way that was their policy. I mean, that Speaker 2 was their policy. It probably wasn't okay. But Speaker 1 that was there not a chance. That's a there's no way that was their policy. Speaker 2 I mean, it wasn't a huge company. I mean, it was a decent sized company, but like, it wasn't a huge company, you know. But the reason I got fired, the reason I got fired is because Isaiah had the Isaiah got me the job, okay. And he, his boss was like, Hey, I'm looking for some extra help. I was 17. And he was looking for some extra help. It was over the summer. And so I get the job. And then they didn't like I got the job. There's like four other people who got the job at the same time as me. And they're all adults, like they're all real people. I was. And they all went through like training, like they learned how to use everything. And for me, they were just like, I don't know, go do whatever Isaiah needs your help with. And so like I did that for the first day, and then the second day, they were like, Hey, we own the lot next door, and it was overgrown with weeds. It was probably, I don't know, seven or eight acres. And the weeds were as tall as me like six foot weeds. And he was like we got this fine from the county for having this too overgrown. Can you cut down all the weeds? And so they gave me a weed whacker, but it was an hourly rate. Yeah, but it was a broken weed whacker. And it took me a week to weed whack this giant field with his broken weed whack I'm just sitting there just and I got it all weed whacked and then they fired me. Speaker 1 Well you just described is crime. What you just described is someone taking advantage of a 17 year old boy. That's Speaker 2 yeah, that's I mean, that's what I'm saying. Like that's they hired me because they got that fine and they didn't have anyone else to do it. And then they were like, okay, yeah, and so they just had me take it down and then once I finished it, they fired me and they told me it was because I was working too slow. But that was the only thing I did the whole time I was there and they never even like they never trained me they never gave me a warning. But I was too young to like advocate for myself like I didn't understand it was the first it was literally the first job I got hired for. Speaker 1 Yeah, what you just described as illegal. So that was fun. Yeah, Unknown Speaker I got free candy out of it for like a week. Speaker 1 You come in here's why he got fired. Let me tell you why you got fired. Because you were out there waiting. Right at the time you can eat as much as you want to go back you can eat it no so you're out there Speaker 3 watching me out though it nobody's like I told them do we and he's eating every individual weed. No one for this Speaker 1 day should not have passed the marijuana stuff out here. These kids are idiots I was pre so we know I'm saying that you were out there doing all this weed stuff. Not not listener. Please don't get confused. I was you were clearing their lot or whatever. Yeah. So you come in dirty gross hands. This is why you got fired. And you go it's policy Unknown Speaker deck whatever candy we want. Unknown Speaker You put a blindfold on. And then you sat at the end of the conveyor belt and just I think yours walking around stumbling into the wall. Speaker 2 Other Amazon reviews said Yeah, I got the chocolate was good. But there's like dandelion leaves. Yeah. All over my that's why you got fired. You might be right. I mean, they told me it was because of slow that's what they told me Speaker 2 here's the thing though. Here's even better. I was one of, I think four or five friends that I say I got a job for at that. And every single friend that got a job got fired within a week under similar circumstances, so I think it was literally like a weird job will pop up. I'd be like, just get one of those as friends. Unknown Speaker Yeah, yeah. 100% It's sketchy. Speaker 2 Um, I don't remember I think there was something else I want to bring Speaker 1 up a whole thing to tell me. Stories are like they're probably made up. Unknown Speaker It was so that I was I wanted to say about this. I Unknown Speaker swear. Not I mean, Speaker 1 I would love to let's start let's we have a we started a true crime podcast while we did we didn't we didn't follow through. You're dumb? Speaker 2 Well, because my mother in law thought we were gonna get killed by the cartel. Speaker 1 That actually is true. Why we had to stop because we were worried ruffle some feathers. We were worried about stumbling into some stuff that maybe we weren't prepared to stumble into. But now we're prepared to Yeah, so we've been practicing. I think we should one release some of that true crime Podcast. I'm okay with that. And then two, we should become treasure hunters. Yeah, go buy this thing. Unknown Speaker treasure hunting a true treasure podcast. true treasure? true treasure. That's two. That doesn't fall it Speaker 1 doesn't it? Oh, glad you realize it before I had to shut your ideas down. But here's, Speaker 2 here's the moral of the story. The mine probably got mined by someone who found it. And now everyone's out here looking for it. And it doesn't exist anymore. Because it's a it's a matte like it's not lost. Like they found it and they mined it. And those those clay things, probably not related probably just stuff from something else. So if you are in a national park somewhere, and you find some clay tablets with scribbles all over it and stuff written in other languages and pictures. And a dude whose head has been removed from his body and his two miles away, okay with holes in it. Leave it alone, leave it alone. Speaker 1 No, or start a podcast and go find it. As we're going to Speaker 2 Well, I guess that's all I have to say about the Lost Dutchman mine. Speaker 1 Okay, cool. I keep trying to think of podcast titles for what this is going to be. But for now it's who fiddle off Speaker 3 things either last night is a production of space Tim medium produced by Christian Taylor audio by Alex Garnett video by Connor Betts.

And so they're, they're going all around the lake, they're on the boats, they're there, they get the spotlights. They are interviewing the townsfolk. They even go as far as to dissect alligators to see if he was in the alligators. And then on day two, they actually started throwing dynamite in a lake hoping that Speaker 1 they did they did that on day one. They were dissecting alligators. Yeah, Speaker 2 because well, they because they're like there could be an alligator alive. Probably. Fine. Okay, but they're just they're just trying to cross all their T's dot all their eyes, cut all their alligators. Okay, that's how that phrase kills, right? Yeah. But yeah, and then they did too. They started throwing dynamite in the lake. Because they're like, Well, Speaker 1 that'll scare him. If he's hiding in there somewhere. Unknown Speaker Oh, sorry. Don't blow me up with your dynamite. Speaker 1 No one's oxen free. So the soy boy bored right now. So bored. I didn't Speaker 2 know when I did that. So throw dynamite in the swamp swamp. Yeah, it honestly sticks. I'm hoping that they were just gonna blow him out of the water and then be I found them. Louisiana 1912 Louisiana thing to do? Yeah, well, there goes. Unknown Speaker Hey, Paul. We're missing a boy down by the swamp. He's excited. I was gonna I know he's gonna be like, Ah, all right, here we go. Unknown Speaker We're gonna get the blows of boy. Unknown Speaker He blew that boy right out of the swamp. Speaker 2 They don't find them. They don't find her. It ends up being this thing where they are like, yeah, he's probably been eaten by some alligators. Sorry. So they go home and they think they lost their son. Eight months later, the Gators. Eight months later. There's a traveling handyman by the name of William Walters. Walking through town. And a police officer season Unknown Speaker was Hey, you look at that four year old boy. Why do you look like that? a four year old boy that went missing. Speaker 1 I'm a grown man. No, you're not you're, you're a child, and you can't sneak past me. Unknown Speaker And so they took him home. And then he sort of pushed his mom into this. Like Jenna pointed her coffee and stuff, it was kind of crazy. Speaker 2 Now, so he's he's in Mississippi, and he's traveling around fixing pianos and organs and random stuff like that, you know, but there's a child with him. And someone sees that child and for whatever reason, like this goes off. That looks like the boy who was missing Speaker 1 in Mississippi. Yeah. Because I mean, it may dismissing Potter's Speaker 2 got around. Yeah, they made decently large news when he went missing originally. I thought I was like that missing boy. And so they call the police. The police come and they interview him and ask them all these questions about Speaker 1 the police is 1912 Yeah, they did. They said Unknown Speaker police and then Speaker 1 that's police is fire. And oh, is ambulance. Unknown Speaker And it's clown clowns. That used to be first. And police is a little too similar. You need a good police officer up and this guy shows up and he makes some aluminum animal gun Unknown Speaker was really just he just does one and it shoots Unknown Speaker real bone. This is actually more helpful than the police crazy. Speaker 2 I can't believe that works. How did you do that? Speaker 1 Sometimes you're like, Hey, I didn't want you here and they go they don't You don't know their release company? Do you know? Yeah, you gotta be like Unknown Speaker fall into this Unknown Speaker you know? It's 1912 Yeah, Speaker 2 it was a different time. A lot of people don't remember that. We all collective so Speaker 1 they call the police. They go, hey, the police interview this guy and the two children walk in. And they pull someone I missing? Speaker 2 The ask the man, where'd you get this kid? Hey, yeah. What's your name? I made him. I made him loose piano parts. Speaker 1 Used to be my puppet. And then he ran into some talking donkey kid or something like that. Anyway, he got swallowed by a whale. He went through some magical journey crazy. Found a cricket. Yeah. And now is a real boy. Speaker 2 It's driving me insane. He won't let me kill the cricket. I keep asking him. So he's like, Yeah, my name is William Walters. I'm a traveling piano fixer. And he goes on and says, Is your piano broken? And then they're like, No, we don't want it. We don't care about this part of your story. Who's the boy? And he's like, Oh, that's Bruce. And like, Bruce, who? Speaker 1 Well, you see pianos have little strings on the inside, and my fingers are too big. So I occasionally have to contract out a five year old child get his old little nubby campaigns in their fingers down Speaker 2 there. Yeah, to get the strings it luckily there's no minimum wage yet so I don't want to even say the word minimum wage so that way you don't think Unknown Speaker think of it as an idea. It's not even an idea yet. Unknown Speaker Give you the ideas of Mr. Law. Speaker 1 Minimum wage. That's up there with that socialism stuff. Unknown Speaker Have you ever been there's a swamp I think you should Unknown Speaker check. You're about to go missing in the swamp. Unknown Speaker Bruce is gonna swim ahead of you pull you down. Speaker 1 I don't know man. I was just out in the swamp one day eat my cheesecake and this little boy or rose from the water Speaker 2 at the swamp, and there's this police officer who rolled in and started walking to the swamp for a swim and that was swamp swim. chordify I see this little boy look like a Bruce I don't know. Just full sprint. Honestly, very fast. Probably 22 miles an hour top of the water. And I don't asked not even four years old. Just kidding. Just Brian gets to a certain point in the swamp. Not even I and then just dives. And then I see the police officer just go under. Few minutes later, the boy sprouts out of the water. Speaker 1 Like you're seeing a discovery show where they film those sharks out so you don't know what that is? Yeah. Are you a time traveler? Speaker 1 Hey, thanks checking out this episode. If you liked this one or You don't like this one. There's so many other ones. Alright, if you're halfway through this one and you're like, I hate this, I want to go check out the Richmond TV vigilante. It's an episode we did a while ago. It's a little bit of a shorter one. But one morning in Richmond, Virginia, he's people wake up with just TVs on their front porch, no idea where they came from, until one person check their ring doorbell footage and got a decent surprise. So Richmond TV vigilante is a great episode. If you're gonna go check that out later. But for now, back to this one. Speaker 1 Okay, so he's got this kid. He's got this Bruce. Bruce. Bruce. Bruce. Boy, Speaker 2 my Bruce. No. Bruce Anderson is the name. She or he is the child of a family friend that he took with him on his journey for some reason. And Unknown Speaker sure, not a family friend. Yeah, it's Speaker 2 a family and friends kid. And they were like, That's suspicious, but we can't prove anything. And it's like, well, you can just go on your way. And then they follow them around for a while watching them. And they catch them one day weapon, the kid. And like, that's grounds for us to arrest you. And so they arrest the kid. All right. Speaker 1 Well, what you did was very bad. And you got spanking by your family friend. Also, you're going to jail. That's like, that's what parents do. And if you don't do these dishes, I'm going to call the police. Unknown Speaker What are the police gonna do? Speaker 1 They're gonna push. Whether a skier straight this Bruce kid. Unknown Speaker I think you think you're Bobby. So Unknown Speaker tell me interrogating him. Speaker 2 So they take they take Bruce William to jail Oh, for whipping the kid. Unknown Speaker And they take Bruce where Unknown Speaker and they take Bruce and they Unknown Speaker family and they go here. Speaker 2 ruse they said, they said Who's that man? And versus like, Oh, he's a child. He's like, he's like, I don't know who he is. And then he's like, Well, why are you with him? He's like, he's like, Well, he took me from my mom a while ago. And they're like, Well, what's your name? And he's like, ah, like, is it Bobby? And he was like, yeah, it's Bobby. And so then they Speaker 1 could use it. Is it? Is it dragon? Like? Yeah, I Unknown Speaker like that one. Unknown Speaker My name is Dragon. My name is Dragon. Speaker 2 And so they took him back to Louisiana to the mother of Barbie, Miss Dunbar? And they said, Hey, is this Bobby? And it's been eight months. And she's like, I don't think so maybe maybe it's him. Like she wasn't like confident white. And they were like, he looks kind of a lot like Bobby to us. And they were and she was like I'm not sure. And so they're like, we'll take them back to the station. Once you get some rest. We'll give you another chance with them tomorrow. And so the next day, they come back and they're like, like, why don't you give him a bath, see if he has the same scars. And so she turned 12 So she doesn't afterwards. She's like, Yeah, he did have the same scars. This is my son. This is Bobby. And like, we found good work, everybody. We saved the day the kid is alive. We got him. And meanwhile, Williams now got a kidnapping charge on it. Yeah, kidnapping Bobby. And he's like, I ain't kidnapper. That's my family friend. Yeah, word gets back to Bruce Anderson was the boys. A legend name? And so we're where it gets back to the Anderson family. And they understand they're like, Oh, well, we should probably go get Bruce. And so Julie Anderson, who lives in North Carolina takes the journey out to Speaker 1 Julie Anderson who lives in North Carolina. Why did you do that? Julie you're talking back here. Okay, normal podcasts are and then you go Julianne Unknown Speaker North turn like I looked at Alex to make sure that I wasn't insane on that. And Alex, here's Speaker 1 a look. It's like telling the back of the mind. Julie Anderson pulled further. Further away. Are you gonna keep going? Speaker 2 So Julie? So Julie Anderson from North Carolina, makes a trip out to Louisiana to be like, Speaker 1 Hey, don't be trippin back in 1912 What do they send me your internet? No, Speaker 2 we never trip differently. Sure pic has not changed in a long time. Okay, I don't know if she took a car or she didn't take a train Speaker 1 train probably that makes waves that makes a lot. Well, it Unknown Speaker took a train, takes a trip out, Unknown Speaker she loves trains to Speaker 2 take the trip out to Louisiana. And when she gets there, the police she's like, she's like my son Bruce is here, my son versus with you and you gave him to some random lady. Unknown Speaker No, no, it was Bobby. Unknown Speaker Ed. She was like, she's like, can I see? So now Speaker 1 the police are our Ponzi scheme and these kids do they gotta take a kid from a different family. To give it to that one. They got a different family. Give it to that one. And this never ends so they never kept until you find twins. I guess. Speaker 2 We need some twit. Somebody flying his twins. quick throw more dynamite at the lake. I'm sure there's another one down there. Unknown Speaker Okay. I don't want to swamp twin. Sorry. Unknown Speaker I'm just there a point where nevermind. Speaker 1 No. Go on. So the police she's like, Hey, that's my son. Yeah, the Speaker 2 police are like the police are like okay, we're gonna go get Bobby. Yeah. And then we're gonna get a handful of other boys. And we're gonna do like a line Oh line. And if you can identify which ones do I would have Speaker 1 done? Here's what I wouldn't if I was police sheriff. Right. I would have said all right, Miss Anderson. You would not have that side. You could not have that side. Put the boy in the middle and see who he chooses. Lassie, Lassie. No, it's Shiloh? Shiloh. Unknown Speaker Yeah. leboff Speaker 1 I hate everything about you. Sanderson was like, let's cut the baby in half. Got the boy in half, I'll take up. Speaker 2 So they they get the lineup of kids. Okay. And then, while they're in line, she points to Bruce. And she says is that the boy that you guys thought was mine. And that response made the police very skeptical. And they were like, like, Wait, so you don't know which one is your son? And here's the thing where who said that? Miss Anderson? Julie Anderson. Okay. Bruce's mom. Yes. And so, here's here's the thing, you have to recognize that a corner is what sucks Speaker 1 is that this kid just doesn't have a recognizable face. You know? Yeah, yeah, that's true. There's a bland, old normal kid Speaker 2 of blade kid, not even his mom or his other mom can tell. Speaker 1 No one knows who you are. Have we met before Speaker 2 is that I said, Well, here's the thing for Ms. Anderson, at least. She, William Walters took him Yeah, 15 months ago, and at four years old, changed a lot in 15 months. And so like, Unknown Speaker Well, why did my did Mr. Walters TAKE Speaker 2 THE BAIT? Well, he's a family friend. And he was like, he's like, he should come with me and learn to be a man now. Here's the thing with Miss Anderson that kind of doubled over for her and became a bigger issue. She didn't have a great reputation. She had. This was her third child. She lost one of her children had already died. And then there was another child that she lost like a custody battle for. And so she's not she doesn't have a great reputation. Speaker 1 And then she goes, Is Unknown Speaker that the one that you think is mine? Unknown Speaker And that I think is mine too? Yeah, Speaker 2 I think it's that one. So they gave her a closer look as well. The next day, they're like, why don't you give them a bath. We'll see what you think. And, and she wants to saw his scars once. Once she saw his scars. She was like, she's like, this is my son. And they're like, well, dang, the bathroom test worked for both. Unknown Speaker Maybe this isn't a good method. Speaker 2 So now there's an issue. Do Whitewater Speaker 1 is crazy. It's the same dude. Like gremlins. Speaker 2 Here's the thing though. These boys did look a lot like here's, here's an article from well, I'll show you this one first. Here's a picture of the two of them. I could tell them apart. Bobby's on the left is on the route. Don't tell me which ones which. But here's the thing, right again. Maybe Bobby's awesome. Maybe they're both Bobby maybe one of them's not Bobby. Did you look similar? Speaker 1 No, they don't. They do look similar. They both look like the precious moments kid. Speaker 2 I see how you could see these kids. I see how you could see this kid go underwater in a lake. And then see the kid on the right eight months later and be like, I think that's that kid. Speaker 1 They both look like Haley Joel Osment it secondhand, like Unknown Speaker it's actually very accurate. Now, this Speaker 1 is more of him in sixth sense, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Unknown Speaker This is this is an article from the time which I don't know if Speaker 1 all those pictures they chose. They look very different. Yeah. Speaker 2 I mean, I could see if you saw these kids eight months apart. Your Speaker 1 pictures of the same boy are these Same colleague Dunbar before he died.

How do they how do they get it though? I realized I forgot to put a CTA in mind. Oh Daddy we're doing Yeah, Speaker 1 they can text Tillandsia 66866 Thanks Jared Unknown Speaker so so now the police have a real connection Speaker 1 analysis and newspapers right about how long is this process? Speaker 2 Well, this has been going on for months because she because they get the kid that kid comes over this Bobby is now or Bruce is now going by Bobby because when the Dunbar's got him back it was a big deal they here's the a kid that's been dead for eight months is back with them. And so they threw this big party they got on a pony and a bicycle. They're they're doing the whole Unknown Speaker Pharaoh Bobby on all its feet and everything. Unknown Speaker On the kids feet. Now on Speaker 1 the on the Promenade pony. Oh, Woody from Speaker 2 after the bath. They lift his foot up and they write Bobby on his foot just so Unknown Speaker he doesn't forget. Speaker 2 Bobby, hold on, I gotta take my shoe off you Bob. backwards again. Yeah. And so he's going by Bobby now. He's responding to Bobby Sure. And he calls his mother Mom. He calls his father father because his sister's Unknown Speaker brother and sister. He says interestingly enough, Speaker 2 though, when he first met them he didn't call her mom. He didn't act like he knew his siblings. And his siblings acted like they didn't recognize him either. Speaker 1 Do kids can always tell the kids are like what the heck is that? Bobby? Unknown Speaker That's not Bobby Bobby got eight by the crocodile. The crocodile told me Speaker 1 in a dream. What do you think the crocodile told you crocodile told me two things in my dream one i A Bobby to your school mascot should be eggs. Unknown Speaker Eggs, and you should try to get him to Unknown Speaker launch campaign. This is your life purpose campaign. Unknown Speaker But also this good your house is not Bobby. Bobby but more. If you just if you forget any of Speaker 1 this paper, not Bobby's boat. Now, Bobby. Speaker 2 I'll have another go eggs. You have to forget about one of these papers. Forget about the bobby paper. Important thing okay. Most important. All right, continue. Speaker 1 Geez. My dream I killed Bobby's parents Unknown Speaker recurring treat all right. So if you're not hold on, if you've not listened to previous episodes, Unknown Speaker as parents you did not know they died long before you were born. Speaker 1 That's my alibi. I was born too late. Unknown Speaker Let's far too late to Speaker 1 shoot dude, I would have I would have if I was alive. Speaker 2 But alas, not Alas, I was not yet. So bummer. So this court case begins sure because now this is this has become a web of problems. Yeah, it's one family who's like our dead sons alive. Unknown Speaker Moms are shown. Speaker 2 There's one family who's like he's like our son's alive and now he's with us again. And then there's another family that's like our son. You took them state and gave us Walton family and then there's Walter who's Speaker 1 any of these people? Yeah, he's been accused of kidnapping because Walter maintain that it's a Anderson's. Speaker 2 Yes, yes, he does. He's like, that's there. Yeah, sounds like that's that yeah, that's the one and so they this court case commences and the they see all the evidence, they see the kid. They have some character references for the Anderson's come out and they're able to A corroborate that that was the kid that even had some of the families that Walters worked for. Before Bobby disappeared to come forward and say, Yeah, we saw Bruce was with them when before Bobby disappeared. Okay, so like that lines up that story. But there was already the stories circulating in the media and had gotten so big that Lesley Anderson was not a good mother. And yeah, had lost these other kids. And it was this big thing. And she didn't know who her son was. She had no idea that the jury was convinced from the start that it was not Bruce. And it was actually Bobby. So at the end of the she didn't get a fair trial. Yeah, at the end of the trial, they ruled that this was actually Bobby Dunbar and not Bruce Anderson. And they legally changed his name and close the case. Walter served a sentence for kidnapping. And Leslie had to go home without her son. Okay, and that was the end of the story. For 90 years. Bobby lived, Bruce. Bobby Bruiser, Bobby lived the rest of his life as Bobby Dunbar Okay, here he is, like, a few years later, not that far, much farther. It's the one that looks like Bruce or Bobby. I don't know. Sure. Speaker 1 His dad is JFK. And there's a mobster in the background. Unknown Speaker But he wasn't they were they took the picture. Speaker 1 Okay, there was no boy when they took the picture. When they look at the picture. There he is Speaker 2 that oh, that's pretty anyways, so Bobby lives the rest of his life as Speaker 1 Yeah, dies as Bobby Dunbar's, Bobby Speaker 2 Dunbar, and one of His granddaughter's Margaret Dunbar cut right. In 2004. Was like 23. And me. Oh, no, and was going through all the storage for Unknown Speaker yeah, here was going through me. Speaker 2 So I don't know if it was like, 23 of me, but it was like that answer? Sure. Sure. Sure. Um, so she's going through all the stories, she's looking at all the family trees and stuff like that. And she's telling them doesn't matter. They're hearing all the stories, she's always heard the story of the time, Bobby disappeared for like, eight months, and they just happen to find them again, and all that stuff. And so she starts digging back into the story. So she's reading the newspaper articles, she's reading all this stuff, like firsthand accounts instead of yes, that was passed down by by sure and became family legend. And so she's reading through all these accounts, she's she is kind of going in as like, like hopes of being like, Okay, I'm gonna prove that Bobby. My grandfather really is Bobby. Sure, not Bruce. And as she's going through all these documents, she starts to realize, Oh, I think that my grandfather is not Bobby. I think he was Bruce. I don't think any of us are done bars. And so she goes, and she tracks down. Another grandson. I don't know why she doesn't do it. But she gets another grandson to do the DNA test. Kai, who is a blood relative of Bobby Dunbar and gets one of their cousins who was the grandson of Bobby Dunbar's brother to do DNA tests, and they were not matches and they were not blood related. And so all of a sudden, 90 years after the fact, they found out that this whole line that people that were using the name Dunbar were not Dunbar's. Oh, actually Anderson's and the fair amount of the Andersons found out that Bruce Yeah, was actually a kidnapped by the state essentially, and given to some random other family. Okay, and William Walters served this prison sentence for kidnapping. Yeah, when he didn't kidnap the kid. He was. Well, I mean, Jury's out on if he can shoot. I don't know, that's weird. But he took the kid and it created this huge mess for their family, because a lot of family got mad at her. Because they were like, I wonder like, just wonder stuff be. Interesting. Yeah. They were just like, yeah, it's in the past. It's, I mean, it is like 100 years old at this point. But it like fractured their family and like fractured the relationship with her. Especially and the people who did the tests. Because they I don't know, they were mad about it. Was Speaker 1 that according to her though, yeah. Yeah. But I mean, like, when people were like, oh, yeah, my family doesn't talk to me anymore. You're like, okay, just from that one sentence. I can tell what I can see. You know, they wouldn't if anybody's like, My family doesn't talk to me be like, Okay. Now if you say we don't talk to him anymore. I go, Ah, you're in the right. Yeah. I assume you don't like if you go I don't talk to him anymore. That's, that's actually I'm just now thinking this but that's a good theory right there. That's an end Just think if someone says My family doesn't talk to me anymore, I go, Ooh, you were wrong did something. Yeah. But as you go, yeah, we don't we don't really talk too much anymore. You go, oh, you set healthy boundaries, good for you. Speaker 2 But that could be though, like, I mean, there's people who are like we Speaker 1 don't say if you're the troublemaker in your family, just switch your verbiage, right? You know, like, just start saying, yeah, don't talk to him and say Speaker 2 that, yeah. If you're around Jaron, depending on who you're around, yeah, Speaker 1 if you're around me, I'm super judgy. Always trying to like, see through what you're saying, you know, I don't believe that. I didn't believe there. Dunbar's for a second. Speaker 2 Yeah. So to this day, we don't know what actually happened with Bobby Dunbar. Okay. Most people are like, yeah, you probably got alligator. Oh, wow. But we do know Bruce. Speaker 1 Sweet justice is if we're in Orlando, and you get alligator, man. Speaker 2 Hey, guys, go to you from Orlando. Unknown Speaker I just bought you live streaming. Speaker 2 I'm going to you from Orlando. We should call it out. Gator. You're gonna Unknown Speaker survive. Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, I'm in the back of the clown car. I call him for help. I didn't know we still Unknown Speaker do in Orlando. Florida shot. Yeah, Florida dude. They got him they got Speaker 2 him. So So Bruce. Bruce lived his whole life his Bobby and took it to his grave had really had no idea. I didn't have to go through the crisis. Figuring out what everyone else in the family did. And for some reason, it bothered them a lot. And that's the story of Bobby Dunbar. Well, Bruce Anderson, sure. But the family of Unknown Speaker So did they get a DNA test from the Andersons? Unknown Speaker Yeah, yeah. Well, they Unknown Speaker confirmed that he Speaker 2 Well, I don't know if they got a DNA test. Was there any living relatives they got a DNA test from the Dunbar's and from the dawn Speaker 1 of Dunbar's Yeah, one of them that's I'm saying, if they could prove that he wasn't Anderson, though, because he may not have been that kid. He may have just been a random kid. Maybe we need to test them again. Hey, I know this was a big deal. I've got a question. Yeah, and this is gonna seem like it's off the wall but this you know how big were his calves? What is Cat Oh, Unknown Speaker what do you mean by that? I don't know how big his calves were Unknown Speaker they fit in this motel that we have at the police station. Unknown Speaker Let me see the cats What's that from?

I haven't seen a musical. So I don't know if your references are rough and tough. Yeah. There's a whole number in there called Robin and toughen. Well, Robin tough in Oklahoma. That's the line. And you haven't seen it. I haven't seen this. I just have this intuition for musical numbers. Okay. Unknown Speaker To gift Yeah, a lot of people say that and there's it's a shame that I'm not using it. But this guy used his gift of being a rough and tough Oklahoma. Unknown Speaker Okay. Is that what you call people from Oklahoma? I think first time Oklahoma and I think Oklahoma is way cooler. Good morning, Oklahoma. So just feels great. Homie, Oklahoma, Oklahoma, Oklahoma. And you know, they've got someone's compromise. Someone's got to live. There is an entrepreneur who is 23 years old. Yeah, in Oklahoma, who drives a 2014 BMW and he has a clothing line. Yeah. And all of it says is Oklahoma, Oklahoma. Yeah. And he sells a course. Yeah, of course. I bought it. Unknown Speaker I know a lot about how, yeah, so I started I started a business called Missouri homies. Okay, it doesn't flow as well Miss Miss homies Miss zoomies. So he he played football in high school. And then he also got a job, which I don't know if something you could still do in high school. I don't feel like this is something I've heard advertised or seen. But high schoolers doing? Yeah, high school job. Like, most high schoolers now like they're a cashier at Walmart or like they're like making sandwiches at Subway. You know? Like, those are like where most high schoolers go get jobs. Okay, you got a job? Unknown Speaker No, you gotta jump. See Unknown Speaker Yo major corporation, no. Firefighter, he got a firefighter job in high school. Like he was a part time. Depends on the size of the really Yeah, you can volunteer. It wasn't a volunteer. It was a job. He didn't. So he was like, living at the firehouse. And he was what what year? Is it freakin 98 as it is like, yeah, it's it's early. Unknown Speaker So yeah, maybe maybe back then. I don't know, they love people do so much. But they like kids like, work in factories and stuff. Yeah, that is true. Unknown Speaker That's why we think, you know, millennials are always like, oh, houses are so expensive. And it's like, yeah, I do. I mean, like, we're letting Unknown Speaker well know, back then, like, you know, the dad went to work and the kids went to work. You know? Unknown Speaker I have a weird conspiracy. The four income household told him that you have a conspiracy theory once here. Yeah, maybe I shouldn't tell it. That's fine. Let's not hear it. So he was a firefighter. Unknown Speaker Yes, he was a firefighter. Is this the true story of the bald numbers? No. So he was a firefighter is something I want, though. Put that on the list. Is that a real thing? I thought that that was just a ride, Unknown Speaker though. Yeah, I think it's I think it's a real thing. I don't this is the last year that rides open by the way. We gotta go. They're closing it. Why they're gonna put someone else there. I guess that makes sense. So he was hasn't really been the same since that guy died on it. Someone died on Yeah, like a long time ago, though. Unknown Speaker Okay, like before we were born. We've written on it many times. So you're saying you knew it had been the same? I didn't know. I'm saying the local say it hasn't been the same. The local is a little bit more creaky or something like that. He's still on there. I hear him. Yeah, he's in there saying like, Unknown Speaker he's the voice he's the Fire in the hole. That's, that's not part of the ever worked reservoir cities like we Unknown Speaker are who's saying? Unknown Speaker Like, we can't get that does that? Yeah. That's scary. So Jake, is doing the firefighter thing? He's in high school. He's, you know, shut up Unknown Speaker Oh, you just came back. So you like so Jake. He's doing the firefighter thing right now. Okay. Anyways, he's doing the firefighter thing. He's in high school. And then something big happens. Something big for the whole world again. World War Two. He's in high school in 1940. As the end of one, I think he's like, a young adult. Now. Hold on, let's do the math. If 39 is when the worst 22 Yeah, so young adult. And so the war hits. He's still holding down his firefighter job. And so because of that firefighter job, he's exempt from the draft. They're like, firefighters don't have to go cops. You gotta go firefighters. Oh, real cops. I'd actually don't know. Okay, but firefighters were exempt. I'm sure all first responders were exempt. Yeah. And so he was exempt from the draft. So he didn't have to go. But unfortunately for him, he also was a hothead. And so he was he he didn't get so mad at all those fires. Unknown Speaker I'm so Gosh, darn ticked. This house on fire. The billboard fires in my TV when it would be really bad because someone's standing outside there, you know, life in burning in front of ya. And he's like you Unknown Speaker You deserve this. Unknown Speaker These fires you're like his bedside manner is not great. It's not great. Yeah, great. No, yeah. He was constantly getting in fights and convinced fights. Yeah. fist fights. And and he was just, he was a troublemaker, anyone. He was he was your he was he was a troublemaker, people. People see him come in and they'd be like, watch out. Here comes the trouble man. Unknown Speaker So you'd say you're saying people will see him coming? Like oh, we got trouble. Right here in River City. Yeah, right. You're in trouble that starts with T which rhymes with P which stands for Unknown Speaker I've heard his name. Unknown Speaker Jake McNasty Paik. Unknown Speaker Yep, yep. So was that a reference to something or did you just write that? No, I just made it up Unknown Speaker Broadway I got in me, you know, I just Unknown Speaker Broadway and Unknown Speaker sometimes just comes to me, you know? Unknown Speaker It's like, you know, obviously there. It's like the music of the night. Unknown Speaker It just, it just comes to me. I don't think that's what that phrase means. Okay, okay. So he was constantly getting Unknown Speaker fights and disagreements and stuff stop your face. It's your Scotland getting in fights with people so our no show tunes Okay whatever. So he gets in a fight he gets in a bar fight kicks the tar out of this guy is facing charges finds out knock Life Unknown Speaker finds out you Unknown Speaker I hate that the only musical you know it's freakin Annie. I don't know it I just How do you not know that line? Unknown Speaker All right. So he hears he hears through the grapevine season on Tik Tok people don't like him. He's one of the people on tick tock who tell you what the cops are allowed to do when they pull you over. He sees one of those. And they say if you're a soldier, you can't go to jail. And so he goes, and he lists in the military because he's like, I don't want to go to jail for kicking the tire. I like had that bar fight last night. I like you would rather go to the frontlines. Unknown Speaker face jail. Oh, yeah. I just don't want to go to jail. And so he goes any unless and he goes to basic training. And training goes really well for him. And I really well, I mean, really bad. Unknown Speaker He has a problem with authority. And so he, he tries to skip like most of their, like routines that they have, where it's like the morning roll call, and like saluting the flag or something, anyone or calling people by their title. And the reason he cites for not having to do that was he was half Choctaw, Indian. And he's like so because I'm in the tribe. I don't have to do that. And like no, that's not how that works. And so then Unknown Speaker it starts out really rocky, he has a rocky relationship with everyone else sure in the camp. And then he also he's at lunch one day, and he's in the lunchroom. And he asked one of the officers for Rosemary nasty spelled I'm not passed it in C in A S T. Why Unknown Speaker would I Okay, yeah, yeah. Unknown Speaker He's in the cafeteria. He's in the cafeteria asks an officer for his butter so he could put on his bread. Unknown Speaker Butter. Yeah, he's like, not my butter. And so I punched him in the face. Unknown Speaker And so obviously, you get in trouble for that behavior that doesn't go on. It's like, well, Unknown Speaker I'm the troublemaker. He punched him over some butter. I punched him for some butter. It was like he's like, Yeah, give me that butter. And he's like, No, and he's like, Unknown Speaker gonna get a fist your face. So he's, he's troubled man, right? He's not a good guy. Is this the point I'm trying to illustrate. But he was exactly the kind of guy that the military wanted, because they're like, he sucks. But if we could get him on the front lines, there was room when they go, hey. Unknown Speaker That guy stole your butt. They're gonna want you to have a German guy over there. Also know but Unknown Speaker also, he loves fire. He loves fire, he just loves Unknown Speaker fire. And if you don't kill him, you're going to jail. Unknown Speaker We're gonna kill Unknown Speaker the another like, this is exactly the kind of guy we want. We want an unhinged person that we could put in ridiculous parts of the war, sure. But he's tough to deal with. And so they start isolating him. And he continues to do things over and over and over again, that put them in worse and worse situations. Until eventually they create a unit that is literally just him. And like basic training, and they're like you are this unit, go do whatever you want. Well, let's not do whatever you want. But it's like you're by yourself. Like, we don't want you around anyone else corrupting everyone else. Okay, over time. They start sending all their bad people to be with him. And so that ends up becoming this group of five juvie. Yeah, kinda. But yeah, there's a group of five or more than the Rat Pack, kinda. So there's a group of five of them and basic training. Unknown Speaker I want to make sure I'm clear. Yeah, sure, to the camp. Right. And there's a couple of guys over the good old boys. You know, you guys are sitting over here. And they just, they're like, slick. They're like Captain America looking. Yeah. Yeah. And then you got like the schlubs people who are drafted. They've not they've not run more than two blocks and their entire life. They're really struggling and they're like, oh my gosh, I'm so scared of war. And then it cuts over to these military guys all leather jackets. No one knows how they got them. They're all smoking cigarettes and they're just sitting there and they're all like Unknown Speaker you walk by him they're like salute me boy and then you salute and then they're like you loser I can't believe you did wow what a laugh Unknown Speaker see that boy salute Yeah, I suppose to do this is the army right? Saluting army. That's how he talks. Unknown Speaker This is Unknown Speaker what's your first day they haven't been tough yet. Unknown Speaker Just a boy. Unknown Speaker Yeah, we know. Unknown Speaker All right. Unknown Speaker NASCO so one night this group of bag Tigers that go into town on leave, and they go to this bar, and while they're like the idea that they're just walking to the bar slap against drinks out of their hands. We're soldiers were in the army. were tough. They tucked us up already, but they've also got like, there they are with the tough guys, but they've also got like a little chance to do our M y, you know, Army Army. Army guys Unknown Speaker they're like, they're Agen. So tell Unknown Speaker I'm an Army guy. Unknown Speaker Not afraid to die. Unknown Speaker Guy. Unknown Speaker I was like, What the heck are you doing? Shut up. Shut up. Do you hear what I said? Unknown Speaker Is a bit unnecessarily not even not even spit. Unknown Speaker I'm an Army go CGI. Unknown Speaker Wait. Unknown Speaker He's already been out yet. Unknown Speaker 40s. Unknown Speaker So they go to the bar, they go to the bar. They're at the bar. And there's obviously this is near because there's a lot of soldiers there. Right. So there's a couple soldiers that do something questionable, that aren't a part of their group or group, right. And there happened to be some military policemen there. And so the military police, they like pull that guy aside. They're yelling at him and like, they're like getting ready to like beat him with their nightsticks, which is okay, okay, you know, 40s and so they're getting ready to beat this guy and McNasty steps in and it's like, no. Unknown Speaker Take me instead. Unknown Speaker Now he tells them he tells me Don't Don't mess with that guy. Like he tries to stick up for him. He's like, he's like, don't touch that guy. Like he didn't do some go home. Last year, they're like, no, like, he deserves it. We're gonna we're gonna beat the tar out of them. And so he proceeds to take all these military police officers nightsticks, beat the tar out of both of them take both of their guns and unload their guns on all the streetlights on the street, and just blow them off the street. And then he turns to them hands the guns back to them and says, Alright, you can take me in now. Unknown Speaker Yeah, probably get arrested for this Unknown Speaker can out run the law forever. Unknown Speaker This is my mom. Unknown Speaker I'm an Army guy. Unknown Speaker AR m y. Unknown Speaker So they take him to military prison. And so he's in whatever his cell. And while he's in there isn't there a couple of days. And then a commanding officer comes in and says McNasty. He's like we got something for you. And he's like, why he's like, he's like, there's this thing we're trying to do is we just found out. Unknown Speaker We just found out that a group of Japanese soldiers just did a ruck march 100 miles. We want to outdo them. And we think you've give us one of the best shots of doing that, or trying to do 143 miles. So we want to enlist you and paratrooper training, and there's a base 143 miles from here, that does paratrooper training, we're gonna send you a group of you guys, there's like 80 of you. We're going to ruck march you down there so we can beat the Japs and be like, better than them. And he was like, Unknown Speaker he so confidently. Like, is like is like I can do that ruck march he's like, I won't even change my socks. Unknown Speaker Yeah, no, dude sounds he sounds like to be messed with. Unknown Speaker This was intimidated they have ever heard in my life. Unknown Speaker I'm gonna change my socks. I mean, think about it, the otter 43 mile walk the next time I'm in a fight. Unknown Speaker The first time I'm gonna Unknown Speaker I'm gonna hold him. I'm gonna say hey, hey, I'm gonna change my socks. He was the rug guy. Unknown Speaker I haven't changed my socks for the last 143 miles. And then that leaves a lot of questions when you want 143 miles in my socks. That you can change it in. Unknown Speaker You could say that to me. And he said he's like, and I won't even blister. That's what he said. He said, I don't want you to blister. And the commanding officer was like, sharp. Wherever there's holes. I quit listening. Unknown Speaker When you said I'll do it, I didn't hear anything after it. It's like, I'll let you out in a couple days. Sure. And you can get walk in when they weren't gonna and you'll know because they'll just open the door. Unknown Speaker No instructions Unknown Speaker 143 miles in some direction. Yeah, just yeah, let's see how tough you are. Unknown Speaker Hey, thanks for watching this episode of things out there. Unknown Speaker Last night, if you're enjoying this, let me recommend one of my favorites. Emperor Norton. It's this dude who just decided he was the emperor of the United States. No one agreed. But some people did agree it was weird. You should check it out as a lot of fun. But other than that, thanks for being here Unknown Speaker it's a couple days, a couple days go by and they they come in, they shackle him up, and they walk them out to the starting line. And here's all the other soldiers that are like, in their gear, and he's up and he's still wearing his prison uniform shackled up, and then they unshackling the handle uniform. And he joins this March. And he's one of eight people who finishes it makes all the way there didn't change his sock. What does the rest of people do? They fall over? Yeah, they, I don't know. Skip to the war. Unknown Speaker I mean, no one was, like they had like when your friend skips a grade. Unknown Speaker They skipped the work. I did where were one but I skipped over to Yeah, you're too smart for this war. I went straight to the Korean War. Unknown Speaker And what? I don't think you need to do that one. Okay. So he took a test, and he didn't change your socks didn't get blistered. And a lot of people to this day are like shocked by that because it's a long, I mean, you would expect blisters especially. Because with that you're carrying the pack like you're carrying a lot of pounds. Unknown Speaker And so I'm I'm at least pretty confident that he like drove half of that walk or something. Got it. I got an Uber. I think he cheated it. I think he cheated. I'm pretty sure he cheated. Okay. I don't think he's a bar. You walked in his hands. Unknown Speaker So you cheated his way through the walk. Hey, you skin crawl? Unknown Speaker Yeah, it's pretty terrifying. Unknown Speaker So he gets to paratrooper training, does the whole training, whatever, and they ship them off. And they're like, Okay, he has a lot of other things. He gets in fights and stuff like that, you know, he's always getting fights doing the thing he does. By now. He's got his little his little CADRE has grown to 13 soldiers that are pretty much just the people everywhere else in the army, where they're like, We don't it's him and 1300 people 13 Well, it's him and 12 other people, there's 13 of them total. Oh. Unknown Speaker Interesting. Unknown Speaker Sounds like another Kadri. I know. Unknown Speaker But it this it was, it was everybody who everyone else in the world was like, we don't want to deal with you anymore. Don't hang out with that McNasty guy sounds like another cadre. No, you know, tell you about Matthew Unknown Speaker and McNasty said to him Unknown Speaker What's your name? Simon. Shut up Peter. Unknown Speaker Not even close. Unknown Speaker Not even close Unknown Speaker like that. I don't know. He's been calling me Peter for years. I just Unknown Speaker at this point, it's because it means rock. I'm the rock. Okay, you told that guy in your book. He told that guy couldn't walk to just pick up his mat and walk kind of aggressive. He did not do it. Guys still lay in there. Unknown Speaker He goes to war with his group of 13 Sure. Unknown Speaker While they're there, they're breaking a lot of rules. Yeah, the biggest of them was there was rations. There's water rations that they had so everyone could just chugging away Unknown Speaker water I drink Unknown Speaker W A T E R got Unknown Speaker a water Unknown Speaker I'm a water Unknown Speaker I say Unknown Speaker you can keep a boy from the water Unknown Speaker I'm a water What can I say h2o Why be drinking Oh Unknown Speaker I like this picture we Unknown Speaker all have soldiers in World War Two to say about everything they Unknown Speaker were go into to pair it troupe and Unknown Speaker so it's good time. Unknown Speaker We're just we're teasing our new musical. Unknown Speaker War War Two. Well, it's hard to say what world war two World War Two our new record coming out. Unknown Speaker So the reason they are really Unknown Speaker is one six months later called the holdouts? Unknown Speaker Yeah, a little bit of a callback There you go. Unknown Speaker Aren't you? Unknown Speaker I did the same thing you did. You did that exact same thing plays back on. He didn't Unknown Speaker say the holdouts was like a little bit of a jazz song and you said Oh, to call back but um, yeah, and that's what you did. I went high. I went Unknown Speaker which is the same thing easy. It's just as cheesy and mine was always just cheesy as your jazz roll. Yeah, okay. Unknown Speaker I don't want you today Unknown Speaker to get through keep going off Shut up. So the water rations they were using a lot of them because what the water rations were flooded in the spring Unknown Speaker whatever water you Unknown Speaker guys were put on a carwash we're gonna raise money for the Unknown Speaker three Unknown Speaker buddies one washed. Unknown Speaker He opened up his own fire station in Paris, and I use his law for $10 All right. Watch that tag. Hey, you're one of the bad guys. Unknown Speaker That's what they did. They're trying to learn from it. Unknown Speaker What if we did Unknown Speaker the bad guys. Oh, do Unknown Speaker we get Unknown Speaker we just got to take our shirts off. Pulled up all sides. Say car was right in German. What's what's carwash in German car wash. Unknown Speaker Its Car Wash Unknown Speaker garage Unknown Speaker was supposed to be for where they use it before they're supposed to before I was obviously drinking water. Yeah, bathing. They didn't do either of those things with it. Instead, they were doing they were leaving camp in the mail that night and they were going hunting and they were getting whatever they caught hunting. Unknown Speaker Large games small game, medium game. Sure they're bringing it back. And they were using their Waterwatch sins to clean their game and cook their game with it. Which was totally against the rules. Sure they had army food or they were supposed to be eating also army food. Also on top of that they're in France and there was a pretty strict rule in this country that Unknown Speaker I don't know a nice way to say this. But all the animals were the kings animals and if you're gonna hunt them you have to have permission to the king and they did not have permission the king and so the king find the United States military $10,000 for killing all of his animals. The day was probably worth more than 10,000 Now Unknown Speaker probably and so they got in big trouble because not only were they using too many water rations, but three kings meat was a problem for Unknown Speaker and so wasn't pets Unknown Speaker and they Unknown Speaker they All the king's horses Unknown Speaker I'm gonna eat all your horses Unknown Speaker I'm gonna eat all your horses and I peed in your dog's food Unknown Speaker so they they get this fine and then on top of that they weren't using their water rations for anything other than cooking cleaning their meat so they weren't bathing Unknown Speaker suit so dirty. smells so bad. And so the enemy can smell you now they can smell you guys come in from the top of the parents. Yeah. Unknown Speaker Though that moment where you shoot plane flies over there. I smell Americans Unknown Speaker with a stereotype comes from and so they got there to themselves that nicknamed the filthy 13 Oh, because they were filthy. And no one wanted to be around them. And also they kind of got isolated because of the other fights and stuff and just being annoying. Generally. They were the only ones who saying everyone's like buys Unknown Speaker the show too. Unknown Speaker But then also secretly everyone's back Unknown Speaker to Brick dude, just can't get it out of my head, my head. Unknown Speaker So finally, their station in France and they get their first shoot call. Is that what you call it? Unknown Speaker should establish shoot boys by parachute not shoot, shoot, but you'll probably do some shoot, shoot. And after that once you land shoot Unknown Speaker I can't, I don't know what to do. Unknown Speaker And so this is the night BEFORE D DAY, their mission was to parachute behind enemy lines, and they're gonna land at this specific bridge. And their goal was to hold that bridge down for the American forces to be able to cross that bridge, okay, or if you're not gonna be able to hold that bridge down, blow it up. So that way they can't get the reinforcements in one of the two. That's your goal. Here's the deal. They are part of a group where the majority of people are going to die. What they're doing is they're they're dropping behind enemy lines. So they know they're going into a really dangerous situation. And Unknown Speaker they're loading up the plane the night of the operation. And Unknown Speaker Jake McNasty takes his military issue razor, and shaves his head into a mohawk. Unknown Speaker And everyone's like, what are you doing over there? And he at first justifies it and says, This is what my ancestors did. Because he's part Choctaw. And he's like, this is what we did when we went into battle. Sure. Later in an interview, he said, just I don't know. Cool. I don't know which one's more true. I'm going to be honest with you. I, I think I believe the original story more than the secondary story, the secondary story seems like he's messing with someone. Okay. But later in interview, when he was asked about it, he said, I heard there was a lot of licensed France. And so I wanted to have the least amount of hair as possible. Unknown Speaker But I left a little bit in the middle, just a teaser. Unknown Speaker Like, oh, Unknown Speaker look at this allies Unknown Speaker say shaves his head, no Mohawk. And he, one of the planes that they were taking into this operation had just recently been painted, so have wet paint on it. And so it takes the white paint off the plane and starts painting like designs on his face. And everyone else in the group is like, Oh, this is really cool guy. So they start to they start all shaving their head and paying their faces. What they didn't realize was that there was like an army photographer there. Who was taking pictures of them doing this. And so this is a colorized photo obviously. Yeah, it's got color this Unknown Speaker but this hit the papers back home a couple days later, and people lost their minds. These are the heroes of the war already just for fun. Yeah, because they I mean, they look cool. I mean, I'm not gonna lie they look cool. Like they were to today's standards. They look cool now they do look like like Unknown Speaker and I'm gonna say this strategically local UFC fighters you know, not they're not make they don't know Dana White. They want to, you know, that's their life goal is to know Dana White. And so like local UFC fighters who are like, trying to work their way up to the ranks. Yeah, that's very accurate. Unknown Speaker So yeah, so they all paint their face like this. They get their Mohawks, they load into the plane and then they jump. Unknown Speaker And in the middle of the night, they the jump does not go great. They get hit with some flak, and they have to jump early. And he lands eight miles from where they've just freshly paint the plant, okay. Unknown Speaker Nothing's more embarrassing than going to war with a with a bad paint job and paint job. Unknown Speaker Now, there was a reason for that they put white stripes along the bottom to identify there's four friendly anti aircraft guns got it to know Oh, that's ours. Unknown Speaker Don't kill us. Don't shoot us down. But also the enemy. You know. Unknown Speaker We've never Unknown Speaker know they painted big targets underneath, so that the friendly fire would know not to shoot there. They painted this big thing that said, Unknown Speaker musicals we are, these are music boys. These are not Unknown Speaker music boys. Unknown Speaker And they're down. They're like, Oh, no, that's do we shoot. I don't know what we do. If we hit it, do you think it'll sing? And so they got hit and they had to jump early. Unknown Speaker He lands about eight miles from their target that bridge and so he starts hiking. Yeah, trying to trying to find his way through that and he gets in a couple altercations nothing crazy. Unknown Speaker Ends up managing to find one other person from his company, the filthy 13 and but this guy has no weapon he lost his weapon in the fall. And so he hands him a couple of his grenades. And he's like, I'm keeping my own one grand. He's like, You can have my grenades and we're gonna go we're gonna go take this bridge and somehow they pull it off, they get over to this bridge. They make it there. By the time they made it there another pair tripping company managed to also like they came across this petrol company. You Unknown Speaker And there was a commander there who was on a different mission. And the commander was like, Well, I'm in charge of you. Now I'm gonna pull rank and I need you to come help me run security on this thing. And he's and so Jake is like, okay, yeah. Can I have a couple of your men to come help me do that? And he's like, yeah, you can have these people come help you. And so they kind of split ways. He's gonna run security there. And he was like, Yeah, we're not doing any of that. Exactly. He's like, he's like our jobs, the bridge, and then like, let the commander so we go. Unknown Speaker Shut up, dude. Shut up. And so yeah, that's exactly what happens on a war hero. Unknown Speaker Look at my hair. Do you have my plane paint on your face right now? That looks like yeah, I don't know. No paint on which one of us do you think is crazy? You want to find out? Find out? Let me sing to you. Unknown Speaker Oh, Unknown Speaker he takes his group man. And they they go and they successfully take this bridge. While they're holding this bridge down. The other commanders off doing his thing. He has no idea that Yeah, this guy went AWOL. While they're holding down this bridge, there's about a dozen of them. Right? While holding down this bridge. A group of German soldiers falling back from the main the beach of Normandy is fallen back. They've there's 700 of them. They come up to the bridge. And the commanding the commander that German army is like, Hey, you should surrender. Say Unknown Speaker I got a gun. Unknown Speaker And I will Unknown Speaker shoot all of you. And they're like, oh Unknown Speaker 700 of them versus 12. Yeah. And they go, okay. Yeah. And so he says, He's the German commander is like you should surrender. You're out, man. Oh, the German commanders, German commanders, like you should surrender. You're matched. And he's like, I'm not gonna do that. And Jake says, Here's what I think. He says you're going away from the battle. Unknown Speaker He's talking to him. Yeah, he's a hey, oh, let's negotiate. Unknown Speaker Here's the thing. Listen, you put all these add ons on? I don't want to pay for it. I came here to get a Toyota Sienna. Okay. And you're like, oh, it's gonna cost 3000 We put a little we put this mean, and we'll get this three year warranty on I don't want I want the warranty. Unknown Speaker Tell me what the what the what's the price I'm gonna walk out of here with you know, he's used cars. Yeah, yeah, he's haggling him. Pretty much. He says he says, I see you're going this way. The battles that way, tells me that the battle is not going well for you guys right now. And he said, so he's, uh, so I'm pretty sure. He said, We give it a couple minutes. And he's like, we're gonna have a whole group of my allies coming up this hill behind you. And then you're gonna be pinned between the two of us. So that's Option A, we can go with that option if you want to be. He said you could surrender to us. And you guys are fine. And there's no problems. And all of you survive. We just take you with POWs. And everything's okay. And he said, Option D. He said, Yeah, let's stick with the Unknown Speaker option D here, we got the high ground. And which they did, they had a high ground, they had a couple from a hill, we have a high ground, they did have a high ground, there was this ravine that they were gonna have to cross to get to them. And so he said, we already have no machine gun, like routes set up here, instead. So you can try to cross this ravine to get to us. But we got the high ground, we got our Michigan spots. And so even though there's only like a dozen of us, and there's 700 of you, we really have the upper hand in this situation anyways. And the German guy was like, nah. And so he's like, we're gonna just come up there and take you. And so they tried to cross the ravine. By the time they got to the other end of the ravine, and we're climbing up the hill that already mowed down almost all of them. And they took the leftover as POW and only suffered one casualty in the affair. And so these dozen men took 700 People 700 Germans and they want and then the reinforcements showed up, and they had succeeded in their goal one, only one of them. And they were like, Whoa, do Unknown Speaker that's crazy. That you did. I'm so impressed by what you do. So crazy. It's like amazing. smell so bad. But that was cool. Hey, you should go see that beach over there. You should. Unknown Speaker Yeah, you should dip in there. Unknown Speaker So are you storming the beach, the beach and just lay in the water for a while, like just as long time like as long as you can. Here's some soap for if you need it.

Oh, dang, we're doing Yeah, they can text Tillandsia 66866. Thanks, Jared. Unknown Speaker So yeah, so he's successfully. That's crazy, this giant group of soldiers. So he gets he gets shipped back to base after this, this whole affair or whatever. And they're like, good job. You did, you did good. And then he said some stuff. And they're like, We don't like you get out of here. But they ended up tracking down the majority of his his group and they reunited, the filthy 13 ish, wasn't quite 13 anymore, but they still call it that. Unknown Speaker They went on a couple more jumps that were were pretty successful. Not as successful as that. There was one really notable moment where they dropped behind enemy lines, and they were clearing this whole town in Holland. And Unknown Speaker in one of the houses, is he here, I need to paint the whole picture. So as they would, their strategy for cleaning houses is they would, they would break a window there, throw some grenades in, and then they would go into the house to the door. And then what they would do is they would crawl when they went in because the dust would kick up and it'd be all up in the air and they couldn't see if they were standing. So if they were crawling, they could see where they were gone. And they could take out any hostels that were still there after the grenades went off. Sure. So they're crawling through all these houses as they were clear in this village in Holland. In one of the houses, Jake happened to find a chicken, who had laid six eggs and he was stoked about the Unknown Speaker game. He's like, I've been looking for eggs everywhere. I killed a chicken Unknown Speaker and fight the chicken with my hands. And so he decided to take the eggs because he was like, I need those legs. And so he put them in his cargo pant pocket. Unknown Speaker He's like he's like, here's the here's the problem though. And I'm carrying this these eggs around in my Cargo Pant pant pocket and then he goes to clear another house right? And he breaks a window. throws two eggs. Oh. Unknown Speaker Imagine you're sitting in your house. Unknown Speaker Just do full legs. Unknown Speaker And you're like, and then someone kicks in your door Unknown Speaker on the ground, and they're like, something feels different. And you're sitting there your chair or your like Unknown Speaker cargo pants explode. Unknown Speaker No legs, so he he put them in his cargo pants and because he didn't want to smash his legs, he's news he's crawling through these houses and she was like I got him in my cargo pants. I'm gonna smash those eggs if I calm so he crawls on one side to keep his eggs safe the wrapper dozen eggs Unknown Speaker on the medic Are you injured now just protect protecting my eggs. Unknown Speaker It's an instinctual thing I'm doing I don't know I saw him I was sitting on him earlier trying to keep them warm. So I gotta Unknown Speaker see, let me save these eggs. So I love eggs dude. It was a pretty successful campaign but for him it was super successful. Unknown Speaker Boy is a weird guy man. E g g guy for some reason you're about to see EA Sports Unknown Speaker a sports we got eggs you got the eggs. The eggs Unknown Speaker if I told that story on the podcast before Unknown Speaker what Unknown Speaker could that possibly mean? Unknown Speaker We are Unknown Speaker you talking about Unknown Speaker i in high school. I had this dream Unknown Speaker I had this dream where my school changed our mascot to the eggs. And they were like breakfast things Unknown Speaker like painted on the center of the field just today. Unknown Speaker And we had this school cheer that we would do a games we'd be like, Go egg Unknown Speaker I got a bunch of these buttons. And I took printer paper and I taped them over around the button and I wrote a campaign for you didn't explain to you this year at Unknown Speaker school. Were the Lutheran eggs. Go eggs. Unknown Speaker And it's still the best thing in the Washington football team should have became the Washington eggs. That is the funniest team name in the world to me this story Unknown Speaker wants to go eggs. Can you imagine? I can't believe you have a wife. Me neither. I told her that. I'm surprised it didn't work out. There's a lot of double dates we went on, where people were like, Yeah, we don't want ever want to double date with you. We're like that guy. You could start bringing him around stuff. Unknown Speaker I don't know, man. I just got good ideas. So he protected his eggs all through the campaign. And Unknown Speaker I don't know how the actual campaign went. I think it went well. We just the student section is just like good squid Unknown Speaker stuff. Unknown Speaker You use a scrambler Unknown Speaker person or you know, I just use a fork. Yeah, I was like, What the heck are you using? Like a little whisk? Unknown Speaker Okay. Unknown Speaker Anyways, Unknown Speaker so he goes on a couple of these, these campaigns that go out Unknown Speaker continually getting in these major disagreements with Unknown Speaker commanding officers while salute, anyone won't call them by their names. Unknown Speaker It's sure, you know, just a real trouble to be around smells bad, all this stuff. Unknown Speaker And so eventually, his commanding officers were like, You know what we're gonna do? And he's like, what? And Unknown Speaker he's like, we're gonna send you to this specific para trooping squad and this specific squad. They were called the pathfinders. And what they did is they were the first people in an area and they got dropped to find the path. Unknown Speaker And Unknown Speaker this actually ended up becoming the Church of Scientology. Oh, wow, you will find the path. Unknown Speaker Now they dropped, they would drop them and they would drop eight of these guys, okay, behind enemy lines, days before the operation, whatever operation they were gonna do. And they would sneak around the enemy lines. And they would have these two devices. And so they would split into two groups that had these two devices. Now imagine one of the other eight. You paratroop in, right. And you're like, kind of sneaky. You're like Unknown Speaker within us here, Unknown Speaker thinking thinking Unknown Speaker what is going on? And Unknown Speaker and he's just over there. You want some eggs? Unknown Speaker Keep your voice down. We don't right now literally. Sign up or scrambled. They left their eggs out, well, I can't I can't help myself. What kind of soldiered lunch leaves their eggs laying around. Eggs, dude. Unknown Speaker So he, Unknown Speaker so they will split in these groups. There's eight of them. They had these two devices that would send signals back to basically like, here's where you're gonna do your stuff. Right? Okay. And they gave them two devices instead of one because Unknown Speaker they're gonna lose one while they were going. Yeah, they're going to lose one device. And they sent eight soldiers because they, on average lost seven. And so they would send and because it was it was the most dangerous job. You could have military. And this was a job. That was only you could only be a volunteer. That's how dangerous it was. You could not assign you on this job. You can only volunteer and so they tell this guy they said hey, we think you should volunteer for this. We think you'd be like, just like you're you're gonna you know what, I bet you couldn't do it without getting blisters. Unknown Speaker I was just, you know. Unknown Speaker Good, you know, but I don't know. It seems like it's pretty blistering. So blistering. Everybody's done. I don't even need to change my socks. I won't change my socks. Matter of fact, I won't even bathe. You don't do that normally. Well, but um, but I'm just saying the reason I like the I won't either. Like, I'm just saying I also, like I know I normally but three things about me. I don't bathe. I don't change my socks, and I don't got lice. Unknown Speaker Explain that. Unknown Speaker A RM y guy, AR m y guy. And so he's thinking about it. And he's like, Well, he's like, there's they're actually legitimately trying to get rid of me now. They're trying to kill me. He's like, he's like you're trying to get rid of me and he's so he's thinking about it. He's thinking through this thing. This is Unknown Speaker 1943 at the at the point, and so he's like, he's like this has been going on for a long time. Chances are, we're close to the end of it. Things have been going really well. And he's like he's like so those 700 Guys, yeah, I took out the 700 Guys, I saved those eggs. Unknown Speaker In a good time, it would have been going great. Unknown Speaker going on for a long time, it's got to be close to over. And he's like, if they send me to do pathfinding, I have to go to pathfinding school. They're gonna send me off to that. He said, it's gonna, it's gonna be a long trip to get over there. I gotta go through the whole way. Now the time is like, maybe I can maybe if I fail the tests on purpose. Yeah. Then did I never school. I know like to write your name. I don't know my name. I don't know. What am I right? I'm looking at the person next to Unknown Speaker this. And so he's sitting there thinking about He's like, he's like, Ah, maybe maybe, like, I don't know how, like, what if not like, and he's going back and forth. And then he remembers that the town that pathfinding school is happening in is in England, and is right next to a major university. And all the men are at war. Oh. Unknown Speaker And he says, sigh Unknown Speaker as legitimately, why did it and so he goes to pathfinding school is the 1940s Ain't nobody else got a mohawk right now? Unknown Speaker Yeah, he was very exotic, especially in England. Unknown Speaker None of their dads want me to take them out. Unknown Speaker They don't matter all their dads are at war. Unknown Speaker And so Eagles pathfinding school, lo and behold, the war didn't end before he finished. And he ends up having to go Pathfinder. Unknown Speaker And he is Unknown Speaker one of the Pathfinders leading up to the Battle of the Bulge. And I don't know if you know a lot about that battle, but it's a very significant battle in World War Two. Yeah, long story short, the things he did Unknown Speaker allowed the 101st airborne division that was trapped to survive long enough for the reinforcements to arrive, which was reinforcements of 350,000 soldiers. And it was pretty much the deciding moment in the European front. And it was his arrival and his pathfinding mission where he brought that device to show where the supply drops should drop. That allowed the hunter first to survive as long as they did Wow. Because they lost contact with him. I think the the number is ridiculous I don't I can't find it not I heard it in a podcast or something. I don't have it. I should write down a shout out down Unknown Speaker here what you said I don't know if we got to believe that or not. Unknown Speaker I found it Unknown Speaker Oh, okay. Unknown Speaker He was 6x Six examinee. Unknown Speaker Number. Unknown Speaker So Unknown Speaker in the first 24 hours, they call 247 Supply Drops. Unknown Speaker By the second day, they called another 160. And by the fourth day, they call another 269. Unknown Speaker So a ridiculous amount of supply drops to be able to hold over the 101st airborne division which for a matter of a few days like no one had heard from so they thought they were dead. Unknown Speaker So a ridiculous amount of supply drops Sure. All thanks to him are what led to the victory in the Battle of the Bulge. So Wow. He that was his fourth drop which was a huge deal because most paratroopers survive. Yeah. Only makes it through to Yeah, and so he already was a record holder and he ended up getting just a ridiculous amount of Unknown Speaker badges. Well, I was thinking about this today. Yeah, I think it's badges are such an interesting concept to me. Like I get like it's a Morehouse man. You don't have any don't Unknown Speaker sacrifice the military service because you're sitting here on badge. Okay, that's what I'm saying. I'm saying can what best TV series by the way, trademark badge? What if we did like corporate badges? Unknown Speaker What would be like Unknown Speaker 10 miles instead of 26.2. Could I still get a sticker on my car? Unknown Speaker What if I did 100 days in the peloton? Unknown Speaker Does the sound of a guy who hasn't been toughened up by the army? Unknown Speaker Corporate badges does that like something a corporation would do that? Yeah, here's your bad Unknown Speaker edge for and it's awkward. It's embarrassing. I'm saying like, why is it? Like Unknown Speaker things that matter? They're literally shaping history? I don't know. I mean, other jobs matter. Why don't they get when you're getting your head in the sales quota you don't deserve a medal of honor. I mean, if you got shot in the process they use should begin badges to like police officers and stuff. Yeah, yeah. You so you're gonna have a badge. I'm curious what it feels Unknown Speaker I don't think you ever heard that. Unknown Speaker Yours your badge. Okay, so here's what he got. He got the Combat Infantry Badge, the Parachutist Badge the Pathfinder badge Bronze Star Medal, with a combat V. Unknown Speaker Purple Heart twice the American Campaign Medal, the European African Middle Eastern Campaign Medal, the World War Two Victory Medal, the army of occupation Medal, the Legion of Honor and five overseas service bars. And it's just Interestingly enough, this is the whole reason I did this whole list Sure. The Good Conduct Medal, which sounds Oh my god, this sounds like he should have got that one. Sounds like I mean, if you do all the other stuff, or like hey, let's give them a good comment if that weren't to be ironic. They were like it was funny this guy was and and they did the they did the whole thing. All one ceremony and they're like, and the good conduct that and everyone was like, oh, and everyone there was like ah, it's like Joe and Tommy who doesn't have that many medals was like, I couldn't get the good conduct match. This guy smells so bad. That's how I imagined in the 40s that you chose a fake name that was so similar to yours. Tommy, Tommy, Tommy. And slip Tommy's an angry 40s dude like from the 40s Tommy he's angry. What else is Tommy? What else is Tommy feel? Tommy Tommy doesn't understand why the other doesn't see things to blame. Tommy sees Tommy understands everything better than everybody what's going on? Tommy doesn't understand why everyone else gets a badge and there's no corporate badge. Why does Tommy bill Unknown Speaker and no one says he wants Unknown Speaker a badge? Tommy sees through what the deep state is doing when everybody Unknown Speaker tries to tell him Tommy knows that that person right there is real but nobody can Tommy tried to go to this new Christian movie it's out in the theater was a little too warm. The Hollywood doesn't want me to watch it. Nobody likes Tommy they don't like us so they kicked us out of this conference. Unknown Speaker It taught me sad Unknown Speaker to M Ed White Guy Unknown Speaker All right. Unknown Speaker So Unknown Speaker here he is now well this is him like 10 years ago he's he died in 2013 but here it is like 10 years ago. Is this colorize Unknown Speaker no this is not but yeah he still loves the hair never came off it was permanent marker Unknown Speaker pulling paint as long as face for no yeah, he he he became a celebrity in the early 2000s When someone he or rated his story to someone and they wrote it down on the book which I honestly I'm suspicious of sometimes when I hear that Unknown Speaker like he's got on metals and stuff so like surely like this stuff happened but like did the fight happen? Did like did the eggs happen? Unknown Speaker Like what have you made a few Unknown Speaker what have he mowed down 700 stores that interesting enough but he's he is written with guilt into his like on his deathbed. He admit he was Unknown Speaker part of my smell more, but I lied. It's true. It's not true. Because Unknown Speaker there's no Unknown Speaker dying words. Ba but he's not actually dead Unknown Speaker oh, you're still here? Yeah, I lied about the eggs. You can go now you can leave the eggs Unknown Speaker that's how the war happened. The Unknown Speaker seals. Unknown Speaker I like the Unknown Speaker typo. There was like, okay. Unknown Speaker So weird. We did it. All right. I like to picture them on launch day and he's like laying down in bed and like next to his wife and she's already there reading her magazine. And he's laying down and getting into conference. He's like Unknown Speaker think don't know. Just Unknown Speaker Honey though Unknown Speaker she's she's so she's so she's so over the eggs like I don't know what about the eggs live for years. All right. He tells the eggs like every dinner party. Yeah, he brings it up and she gives him a knowing look that's like come on. Yeah, she makes a no the eggs weren't there. And he the any honestly it was 1400 German soldiers. Unknown Speaker The soldiers downplaying the German soldiers made up six eggs every day for ever since they launched the book every day, she makes six eggs and she calls them into their sunny side up, and she's like, she's like, you see the eggs. And he's again, she drinks the six sided side up eggs. They're orange juice right in front of them. And since days aren't real, Unknown Speaker you're nasty. Take a shower. Unknown Speaker All right. Tommy doesn't like it. Unknown Speaker Anyways, that's the story of Digg McNasty is so weird. This person's Oh, wow. So you're saying that's the eggs of the episode. That's the eggs.
