There’s more news and less comprehension today than any historical period that didn’t involve literal witch trials, and trying to stay on top of it all can feel like playing a game of telephone with 30 people, except everyone’s speaking at the same time and like a third of them are openly racist for some reason. From Cracked co-founder Jack O’Brien, THE DAILY ZEITGEIST is stepping into that fray with some of the funniest and smartest comedic and journalistic minds around. Jack and co-host Miles Gray spend up to an hour every weekday sorting through the events and stories driving the headlines, to help you find the signal in the noise, with a few laughs thrown in for free.

I will do all the footwork for you in a
03:41
coming I'll just I'll stop by your house. And I'll
03:44
just kind of do all my TikTok dances for you

so you're up to date. Okay, that would be wonderful.
03:48
We are going to do a year end TikTok and
03:50
social media in review for for you. Well, a lot
03:54
of hit off, a lot of hits, baby. Uh. Speaking
03:58
of hits, we're thrilled to be joined in our third
04:00
seats by the co creator and co host of Stuff
04:02
they Don't Want You to Know, co creator of Thirteen
04:05
Days of Halloween, the host of Monster the Zodiac Killer.
04:09
He's also the co author of the book Stuff they
04:11
Don't Want You to Know, which makes I'm told makes
04:14
a great gift to the conspiracy theorist in your life man.
04:22
iTunes video podcast, Frederick, that's there, he is. That's iTunes
04:26
video man. Remember iTunes? Remember buying videos on iTunes to
04:29
watch on your iPod? Yeah? That was fucking sad. Yeah.
04:33
I only bought one fucking episode of television on my
04:37
iPod and it was The Office Casino Night, and then
04:40
it's just there every time, the video thing. Yeah, that's
04:46
it was just weird. I think at that time it
04:48
was like seven, you know, just being like you watch this,
04:51
I could watch this one part from the office on
04:54
loop on this Yeah, on the tiniest screen. But I'm like, yeah,
04:59
you gotta do loopt. Yeah, I'm doing good man, just
05:05
being a dad, being a daddy. That's just how it
05:08
is these days. Okay, big dead energy. And then you've
05:12
got another show that wasn't in my intro, but you
05:14
mentioned how many days now twelve Ghosts of Christmas. They
05:21
all are. They ghosts that all teach you life lessons
05:25
and ship like that from it's kind of like that,
05:29
like the old you know, winter Solstice tales, like ghost
05:33
stories kind of thing that that that was a real,
05:36
real tradition for a long time. I guess nowadays we
05:38
don't think about Christmas is being filled with ghosts and
05:41
morality details and things like that so much necessarily outside
05:45
of you know, Christmas Carol. But yeah, that's it's calling
05:48
back to that. And it's hosted by Malcolm McDowell. Wow. Yeah,
05:52
from a clockwork Orange from one of my favorite morality
05:54
details of clockwork Orange. Um, yeah, that's awesome. I mean
06:00
it makes sense that there would be morality tales when
06:03
everybody is inside and huddled up together and trying not
06:07
to die and probably occasionally dying, you know, because of
06:12
the cold. So yeah, we have like a handful that
06:16
we just keep remaking. I just watched A Nightmare before
06:19
Christmas for the first time. Could mean remaking, you know.
06:24
I was like, they've remade nightmare because no, no, I
06:27
just I got you watched it like beginning to end
06:30
for the first time, and now my kids are obsessed
06:32
with the music and that's all we're listening to at
06:34
the house. How easy is it for your kids to
06:37
get obsessed with songs? Because I feel like every time
06:40
Jack you lays be like yeah, and they saw this singing.
06:42
Now they're obsessed with the music. I'm like the Lexus
06:45
December to Remember, Alexis December to remember as a bob.
06:49
According to my kids, yeah, they're just very musical. But
06:54
do you know, is there like a bar like can
06:57
you be like this it is gonna be mid for
06:58
my kids or you'll be like, oh, this one is
07:01
gonna melt their heads. They were bored by A Nightmare
07:04
before Christmas. While we were watching it. I was like,
07:06
all right, into this one, and then now that's all
07:08
they want to talk about the because the music's catchy.
07:11
Danny Elpone got it. You know. It turns out just
07:15
never let your flat m because that all those songs
07:20
just will be in your welcome on my Apple Music
07:24
wrapped list of like most most played songs, it's like, yeah,
07:30
well it's made by my favorite recording artists the rock
07:33
so um makes sense. I wish someone would like just
07:37
who had Enough Time is just take those Disney movies
07:40
and just like cut in like Massive Attack or Portois
07:43
Head or something song and they're like, oh wait, this
07:45
is the best part when Elsa sings Wandering Star Are
07:52
is that genre like high up in your World Miles
07:56
that kind of music for sure? For sure, like acid
07:59
hip hop, kind of like all music to be honest,
08:01
you know, like anything that is genre bending or pushing
08:05
the form. I'm like, I'm always for that for sure.
08:09
You can play that Brazilian song for just today's rideout
08:13
song is uh you know. So sometimes I say hey
08:16
what is this and that's usually a sign that it
08:18
got me. This time, I said hey, what is this
08:20
and went and downloaded it immediately, So there you go.
08:23
There you go. All right, Matt, We're gonna get to
08:28
know you a little bit better at the moment First,
08:29
we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're
08:31
talking about today. We're gonna talk about CVS butt plugs,
08:35
specifically took Carlson being obsessed with them and how their
08:41
existence kind of ricocheted around the world of the right.
08:45
We're going to talk about what both parties are vowing
08:48
to investigate in the new Congress. I'm just gonna look
08:53
at the state of UFOs with Matt. Matt. I'm curious
08:57
what what the general take coming from the world. The
09:00
stuff they don't want you to know is about about
09:02
UFOs these days, now that the Pentagon has gone back
09:06
to their official stance of being like airborne garbage and
09:10
weather balloons, that's what That's what you're seeing folks, at
09:13
least um. And then we're gonna talk about fusion. And
09:19
this is also I think appropriate to you know, the
09:23
conspiracy world, because the fact that nuclear fission isn't more
09:28
popular I think has something to do with some people
09:33
harming its reputation. And I'm just curious, basically, fusion, how
09:39
are we going to fuck this one up? Is my question?
09:42
Because science just discovered that they might be able to
09:46
create like a mini sun on Earth. And I have
09:50
clean energy, but it's gonna be hard for the private
09:53
sector to get involved. And how do you take that
09:56
son and turn into other little sons? You saw the
09:58
other people and then they come back to you for
10:00
more son that everybody nice little package you get, You
10:04
get a son. Before we get to any of that, Matt,
10:06
we do like to ask our guest, what is something
10:09
from your search history? Oh well, this is actually related.
10:14
Uh just wow, just a moment ago, I searched X
10:18
dash thirty seven B COMMA sixth mission Comma experiments. And
10:24
if he has to tell you what that means, then
10:27
what are you Yeah? I think we can just move
10:31
on from that. Okay, I have no idea what that means.
10:35
What are you talking about? X thirty seven B is
10:40
this incredible machine? It is It's an autonomous space vehicle
10:46
that was developed by Boeing for the Air Force. Then
10:48
DARPA took over then right now, I think Space Force
10:52
officially runs the project. But it looks like a mini
10:55
space shuttle, except it's autonomous, doesn't have any human beings
10:59
on board, and it can stay in orbit for hundreds
11:03
of days at a time without needing to refuel and
11:06
its missions are. You know, we hear about the missions,
11:09
so like if you're going wired, you'll be able to read, Oh,
11:12
the sixth mission of X seven B was completed, but
11:17
almost everything that it did while it was in orbit
11:19
is fully classified. It's it's fascinating to read about. We
11:24
just did an episode on stuff they don't want you
11:26
to know about it. What do you what do you
11:28
suspect is this thing? There's what it does? What do
11:33
we suspect this thing? Yeah, we exactly exactly. Well, you know, personally,
11:41
I can't speak for the show, but personally, I think
11:44
this thing can be used for a lot. I mean,
11:47
it can be utilized for a lot of things because
11:48
it has its own propulsion of unlike a lot of
11:51
these satellites, it has kind of slightly more advanced propulsion,
11:55
so it can maneuver up there. So you theoretically could
11:58
park it next to any satellite you wanted to you
12:00
but you know, an enemy, Yeah theoretically, right, they would say, right, right, right,
12:06
Because I look at him, like, it looks like a
12:07
big gas reaper drone yea, you know, I mean it
12:10
has the same sort of like fins on the back.
12:13
I'm like, I've seen this set up on something. Oh
12:16
it's an unmanned Reaper drone. But yeah, I'm like in
12:21
a way like it evoked something darker sure like visually,
12:24
and I'm like, yeah, okay, I get that part. Yeah,
12:26
you might use it to do some I guess, fun
12:30
stuffy like espionage stuff. A lot of the technology that
12:34
gets up there that um, you know, skunk Works at
12:38
Boeing or some of these other companies developed, it's like
12:41
spy tech initially before it becomes weaponized, right right, So
12:45
like it feels like it's in that stage right now
12:47
where it's just kind of looking at things, checking stuff out.
12:50
But it does have I think an onboard payload that's
12:53
about the size of a Tacoma truck bed something like that.
12:57
So like you could put stuff in there if you
12:59
wanted to, a couple of four wheelers. But the latest one, oh,
13:05
the latest one has a whole separate This is fascinating.
13:08
I just learned about this. This is why I did
13:09
that search. It goes up with a secondary storage container
13:14
that it doesn't return back to Earth with because this
13:17
thing lands the way a space shuttle does, you know,
13:20
lands lane after it comes back down. But they're stashing
13:23
ship up there somewhere. Well, they're dropping it separately so
13:27
that whatever that secondary thing is they drop it off,
13:30
it lands probably in the Pacific Ocean somewhere, and then
13:33
the rest of the you know, machine lands and then
13:37
assuming like you have to assume, space force goes out
13:40
and picks up whatever that thing was, whatever it was carying. Officially,
13:44
it's experiments about how to like send to capture solar
13:49
energy while in orbit and then transfer that while you're
13:53
still in orbit down to Earth. So you're actually like
13:55
transferring solar energy from orbit down to Earth somehow to
13:59
be stored or used stuff. Yeah, that is because there
14:04
are other spacecraft that is like out there and flying
14:08
to you know, other planets and it's like still active
14:12
years later. But this is having to stay in orbit,
14:15
which like requires a lot of energy to like escape
14:19
the gravitational pool of the planet, right, So that's why
14:22
it's harder. Yeah, this one can't just go up on
14:26
its own. A s gets sent up by one of
14:28
the one of these bigger rockets uses I think just
14:32
knowing that it can be in orbit for hundreds of
14:35
days at a time. Yeah, it really just this last
14:38
mission was nine d eight days. That's a lot of days. Yeah, yeah,
14:44
almost a thousand days. Yeah, almost three years. What is
14:49
something you think is overrated? Well, you know, I just guys,
14:53
I am y'all are talking about being the old man
14:55
of whatever. I am the old man of social media.
14:58
I don't use social media, Okay. I have an Instagram
15:02
account so that the stuff they don't want you to
15:03
know Instagram account can at me or whatever the functionality requires.
15:08
That's what our social media person told me to do. Yeah.
15:12
I just got on TikTok videos, like just started seeing
15:15
them because that same person made a TikTok channel for
15:18
stuff theyn't want you to know, and I have been
15:21
watching content to try and see what is happening on TikTok.
15:26
I'm seeing all of these I'm gonna call them inaccurate
15:29
pseudo informational videos. So it's like somebody is sitting here
15:34
with like their their mic and they're like, yeah, talking
15:37
like this, and they're five reasons the X thirty seven
15:41
B is a nuclear missile waiting to happen, and then
15:46
BS like it's just not researched, it's not backed up
15:49
with any kind of information. It's just like telling you
15:52
what the thing is that's happening, and I am. Then
15:55
you look at the view count for those videos and no,
15:58
they're astronomical. Come yeah, So like I don't understand I'm
16:03
saying it's overrated because there appears to be a massive
16:05
audience for whatever that is. Oh yeah, but I just
16:08
don't understand it. So maybe it's exactly great of the
16:10
way it should be. I just you know, like things
16:13
I know you mean, it gets fucking murky when we
16:16
start talking science or even anything that requires lived experience.
16:21
Like there's ship like here's eight things they'll never tell
16:24
you can do on an airplane. Like you're like, wait what,
16:28
And it's like from some like eighteen year old I'm like,
16:31
where the how the fund do you? Like you're not
16:33
coming at me like like I have I have nine
16:35
hundred like flowing hours on an airplane. Blah blah blah.
16:38
It's like some loose collection of like Reddit posts and
16:41
then someone like makes it into a TikTok video. The
16:43
other ones are wild too, are like ones that are
16:46
like about psychology, where it's like here's six signs that
16:48
you might be in a codependent relationship, and then like
16:50
there there's something, but it's funny because it's bred and
16:53
entire counter culture of experts having to debunk all these
16:57
fucking videos or they're like, I'm an actual psychologists, don't
17:01
fucking listen to what this Like they butt into like
17:03
that was absolute garbage. Okay, what's the next one? Or
17:06
like scientists, So are those as popular as the ones
17:11
saying that? I guess they know? Like do view counts? Right?
17:15
I mean you can, you can see for sure, but
17:17
I haven't done a wonder one comparison. Typically, the one
17:20
that has the more like wild salacious kind of ship
17:23
does better, and then like you come out of it
17:25
convinced that you've had a d h D since you
17:27
were born? Right the videos then the addall shortage happens.
17:33
Um thanks TikTok. Yeah. It feels like an even more
17:37
opaque and like personalized version of what we were already
17:42
seeing happen on social media, where everybody's hearing a specifically
17:47
like tailored version of reality that is just catered to them,
17:52
and they assume everybody else understands and knows all the
17:56
often false things that they've heard and read and absorbed.
18:00
Yeah it's yeah, I mean, man, I fuck. If if
18:03
TikTok was out like two thousand three, h the fucking
18:07
big swings, I would have took. That's where I'm like, ship,
18:12
why am I am I like older and have more
18:14
media literacy because I would have been like, oh, you
18:16
want some weird facts on makeup about Japan? Right now?
18:22
You're so right, so right. Yeah. It's just like it's
18:25
it's at a perfect time, at a perfect age for
18:27
this generation to where it's like, man, you have all this,
18:30
like you're learning so much, you want to share so much,
18:33
and then probably within two weeks you realize everything you
18:36
believed is actually completely fucked up, and now you've got
18:38
like a new way of thinking. So it is interesting
18:40
to see like the EBB and flow of like, uh,
18:43
you know what the popular discourses on the TikTok dance videos.
18:46
I've changed a lot since last spring. It's incredible the
18:49
stuff I've learned. And I'm not sure you share with
18:52
you twelve things anyway, Okay, Six reasons why America is
18:56
not white supremacist, capitalist patriarchy. What. It's just the majority
19:01
like eventually will have its word, you know, Like the
19:06
more people are creating content, the more that truth will
19:10
rise at the top whatever they want the truth to be. Friend.
19:13
Oh yeah, there's like a thing now, like imagine the
19:15
fucking Mandela effects that people are going to be suffering
19:20
from because of TikTok do you know what I mean?
19:22
And just a weird ship. Did that happen or was
19:25
that one viral TikTok? I watched as I ingested three
19:29
videos a day, like what what happened there? In twenty years,
19:33
the Mandela effect will be Elon must crushed at that
19:37
Dave Chappelle show, thus launching his career as a Canadian.
19:41
But a lot of people remember him being booed, and
19:44
that's just the tricky way that our memories deceive us.
19:47
But that video was suppressed off the internet because Elon
19:50
was running Twitter at the time. But I think like
19:52
there's another, Uh, there's this one trend right now that's
19:55
called when I was a baby and people are there's
19:58
this video that showing of like this little like Mary
20:02
and Nette doll that someone made out of clay with
20:04
like a green cone hat and like a white cape,
20:07
and it's clearly a doll, and this person is like
20:10
making a dance and spin and it's just like a
20:12
weird video. But people are like duetting it, like playing
20:15
it side by side as they record themselves with their
20:18
like young children, and they're like telling their kids like
20:21
that's you as a baby, and just capturing like the
20:23
confused looks as they like insist to their child that
20:26
this doll was them as a baby. It's just like
20:29
what and their kids are like, that's not mean, Like,
20:32
yes it is. Look at you. Look at the little
20:34
dance you did. Oh wow, and the like do you remember?
20:37
And then they're like, oh yeah, oh yeah, that is me?
20:41
And then what are we going? I mean, I get
20:48
fucking with kids, But like it's just funny because then
20:50
there are people on TikTok were like just wait thirty
20:53
years when people in they're going to see that and
20:54
be like, oh my god, that was wait no, that
20:56
wasn't me. How the why the funk do I think
20:58
that was? That's a doll. There's no real anymore. There's
21:02
no truth anymore. Everything is AI generated it be guys.
21:05
It feels more and more like we're all just gonna
21:07
be on different servers. We're gonna like choose the server
21:10
we want to live in, and that's the one we're
21:12
gonna be on who practically are I'd say, now, I
21:15
lie to my kids, but I spend my lives carefully,
21:18
you know. But you want you lie about Santa, I
21:22
lie about being stronger than the incredible hole you've got
21:25
an elf on that shelf. No, no, no, no, we
21:29
do have this us at a random time between Thanksgiving
21:32
and Christmas. But um, yeah, what is something you think
21:36
is underrated? Uh? Training yourself to do things in complete darkness?
21:42
I think that's really underrated. I mean that there's a
21:49
there's a component of it that's that right, being being
21:52
able to operate stealthily and efficiently in the darkness in case.
21:58
But no, it's more it's more like a party trick,
22:00
like learning to play the piano or the drums or
22:03
something that drum kit like fully in the dark. I
22:06
don't know. Do you have to turn the lights off
22:08
at the party when you're doing it like I mean
22:11
I do? For the listener, I guess we should mention
22:13
that since the recording started, you've been assembling and disassembling
22:19
a handgun while blindfolded. Yeah, total silence. Pretty nice piece
22:28
of hardware. No, but I really do. I don't know
22:30
if there's something about that. Um, I just really enjoy
22:33
things under rate. I think more of us should get
22:35
into it. Where do you start If someone says, I
22:39
don't know, I don't even know where to start, Matt,
22:41
It's just navigate your apartment or your house in the park,
22:45
just like just so I could do that, build a
22:47
picture in your mind of where you are, you know,
22:50
when when all the lights are out, so that you
22:52
could if you needed to, like have your eyes closed
22:54
and get through a place. I don't know. It's just
22:57
interesting to me. Yeah, I think, yeah, I do that
23:00
all the time because I think about like how I
23:02
have like a way I can move through my house,
23:04
like with where my foot placement is, you know what
23:07
I mean. Like I already do a little dance around furniture.
23:11
Like if I'm trying to get around like a corner
23:12
real quick, I'm like, I gotta leave with my right foot,
23:15
I canna swing that left around and then so in
23:17
a way I have mapped you know what I'm gonna
23:20
just yeah, Okay, I'm gonna do something different. I want
23:22
to play bass in the darkness. Try it, But like
23:25
when I make my kids do it, it seems hard.
23:28
So I just I think I'm gonna I'm at home
23:32
a lot alone, So guys, I'm sorry, I just that's
23:35
what I do now, dancing in the dun No, no, no, no. Um,
23:42
all right, let's take a quick break and we'll come
23:45
back and talk about CBS but plugs and we're back
24:01
and yeah, I mean, so, CVS butt plugs. That's one
24:06
piece of news that we want to share with you, guys.
24:08
That's the whole news. I didn't realize that. Come on, man,
24:12
for the people that are active, you gotta you know
24:14
that island CVS. I got all kinds of stuff. You're like,
24:16
oh ship what No, No, you can make your own
24:23
with a tennis ball and some twine. But the tennis yeah, yeah,
24:29
you you make a little hole in it, so it's
24:31
a little more compressible. Look, guys, you can find a
24:33
whole TikTok about how to make your own bondage gear
24:36
with stuff around the house and stuff you get a
24:37
Dicks Sporting goods. But Tucker Carlson on his show on
24:41
the end of last week, you probably heard a lot
24:43
about the right talking about butt plugs and insurrections, and
24:46
somehow they melded together and it turns out Friday is
24:51
when we heard, uh, this guy Trace Gallagher come like
24:54
he was on Tucker Carlson's show and just talking about
24:58
like I don't know if you've heard Tucker, they got
25:01
be plugs it CV like this. Just listen to this
25:04
whole exchange because it's so just listen. How about this one?
25:09
The producer for a producer for Tucker Carlson tonight happened
25:13
to notice the CVS is now selling sex toys and
25:15
they appear to be a relative bargain. For example, push
25:19
for eleven dollars and ninety seven cents, though the accompanying
25:22
lotion that goes with it will set you back an
25:24
additional and if you've got the cash right there in
25:28
the middle of the buzzy butt will run you thirty
25:30
two fifty information. I just wanted you to know about
25:34
New York. But it's immoral to sell Marlborough's Trace. Just
25:37
so you know, thank you for your reporting. You blow
25:40
my mind every night. Okay, so you should be able
25:46
to sell Marlborough's Yes, what the wait? What just happened?
25:52
Was that? An? That was that was another? Yeah? That
25:56
was a pretty yeah, we can cut that out. I
25:59
get he pivots off of that, which is I guess
26:02
saying like, well, if you can sell sex toys for
26:05
consenting adults to use, why not why can't you advertise
26:08
death sticks? Like the logic is really interesting. Again, I
26:16
like how they start off with like, and it's quite
26:18
a relative bargain. A couple of things I like, either,
26:20
like when your producers happened to notice, but I don't
26:25
need to delve into the purpose personalize of anyone. And
26:27
the cush tush or tush cush is actually a lubricant,
26:31
so I don't know why I meant the accompanying lotion
26:33
because the tush cush already is a lubricant. And I
26:37
think it was eleven in that picture. But he said
26:42
they had to introduce mistakes, so it seemed like they
26:45
were not familiar with this and that they were surprised. Well,
26:49
but also relative bargain, what is that? Where's your basis
26:53
for comparison? Was thirty something? Right? Yeah? I don't Again,
26:59
that was just for them to be like, oh, like,
27:02
you know, but play equals maybe l G B t
27:06
Q or straight dude, I don't know. Look, I don't know,
27:09
I don't know, but CVS has them and and yet
27:12
they won't let your kids smoke in school. Come on
27:16
just which is a weird segment. So yes, shocked, I'm sure.
27:20
But then the next night, Marjorie Taylor Green decided to
27:24
incorporate that material during her one hour stand up special
27:27
I guess that was described as a New York young
27:29
Republicans gathering with many luminaries of the right uh in
27:33
the audience, and she started off with the usual like
27:36
raw ra maga bullshit, including um, y'all, if I was
27:41
doing January six with Steve Bannon, we would have fucking won. Yeah,
27:47
where six happens? The next thing? You know, I organized
27:50
the whole thing along with ste here, oh my god,
27:55
and I don't and I had organized that, we would
27:58
have won. Okay, so we would have fucking won. Was there?
28:05
That's where she left that one. She's like, all right, guys,
28:07
from starting material, just want to normalize some political violence
28:12
and just say it's which is very weird because like
28:15
like weird humble brag, because before Marjorie Taylor Green's whole
28:18
thing was like, it's a peaceful protest and that's all
28:21
it was. And now you're pressed because people called it
28:24
a failed coup attempt and now your eagles getting in
28:27
the way, like or she's lying and like obviously knows
28:31
exactly what it is she want. She can't even do
28:34
a pull up, you know what I mean, She's not
28:37
built for it. But she will try to do a
28:39
pull up. She will, Yes, Matt, have you ever seen
28:43
Marjorie Taylor Green doing a pull up? I have not.
28:46
It's worth a look. It's wild. It's one of the
28:50
most violent things I've ever seen. Really, it looks like
28:53
someone trying to quite literally, I don't even know. Like
28:57
it feels like if a fish had arms for the
28:59
first time time and it was learning what to do
29:01
with it. I will find that clip. But yes, it
29:04
is as jarring physically as as you can imagine. I'm
29:08
just scared because I feel like that's maybe what it
29:09
looks like when I do a pull up. So now
29:11
now I'm gonna like watch myself in a mirror next time,
29:13
just to make sure. So after after like, depending on
29:19
where you get your news, you may have heard the headlines.
29:21
It's like Marjorie Taylor Green says, I would have you know,
29:23
I would have did the funk out of January six
29:26
with Steve Bannon if we had guns. Some people, I
29:28
guess got tired of the like people on the right
29:31
normalizing political violence, so others just went with, why is
29:35
Marjorie Taylor Green talking about butt plugs at this event?
29:38
And again she was had some kind of like you know,
29:41
homophobic screed about you know, supporting like LGBTQ children, and
29:46
she figured, oh, here and now I can draw delect
29:48
direct line from like gender affirming care to CVS selling
29:53
toys here. Sorry, apologize, yeah, okay, thanks open Mike, Marjorie.
30:21
It's like what it's like groaning to one persons Like
30:25
I don't know if you heard someone goes, yeah, because
30:27
gay marriage really really nice genius galaxy brain take there.
30:33
But again, this whole thing, like the logic that the
30:37
right uses to other and dehumanize, like the whole LGBTQ community,
30:42
which is sort of like their their presence will somehow
30:45
change a child in ways we can't imagine, Like is
30:50
it like, is I guess the idea here if they're
30:52
aware of something like butt play, they will become anthropomorphize
30:56
but plubs like by that logic, like like you know,
31:01
if kids know what guns are and what happens, it
31:05
is a weird overprotective thing. Right if if this instinct
31:10
to like protect a kid from any possible thing you
31:13
may think is inappropriate for that child's innocence, and then
31:18
you try and prevent them from learning about it at all,
31:21
rather than having conversations about you know, teaching, yeah, informing them.
31:27
But again, I don't I don't need to like spin
31:30
my wheels because there's no need to like find a
31:32
rationale behind any of this, like their weaponizing again, like
31:36
you're saying, Matt, like they put like the parental instinct
31:39
to protect a child to then be like, oh man,
31:42
you know what's really bad brillo pads? You're like what what?
31:46
What do you? What's what's wrong with brillo pads? Like,
31:48
at the very least, if some person who you think
31:50
is like a respectable human is saying this thing is
31:53
a danger to kids on some level, you're probably like
31:56
in what way, like you'll just you'll at least entertain
31:59
here ring it because you don't want to be like
32:01
dismissive of safety. But again, something is you know, terrible,
32:05
it's just homophobia. I think most people be like, well,
32:07
that's not a real thing, but hold on, what about
32:10
brillo pads? Don't put them in the microwave. That's what
32:13
I Oh, no, okay, what about those little Dorito's chip bags.
32:18
You get the snack pack that you can shrink it
32:21
will be careful, Okay. I used to do that with
32:24
Rice Crispy treats rappers. Wait, you put them in the
32:27
microwave and they shrank. Yeah, they spark up and then yeah,
32:32
you could be like, yo, look at my mini crumbled
32:34
Derrito's bag and they're like, you almost fucking blew up
32:37
the school doing that. Yeah, yeah, what are you doing
32:41
in the teachers in the teachers lounge? You can't have it.
32:44
Just I want to see Marjorie Taylor Green with a
32:46
pull up bar in the teacher's lounge because Brian just
32:49
posted a link to the yes, and I don't know
32:53
what it is. You guys are so right. It's this
32:55
fluid motion thing that's kind of beautiful to watch, and
33:00
it's also just like I don't understand which parts of
33:03
the muscle groups it looks. Yeah, it would be bad
33:07
for your back just to try and like whip your body,
33:11
like use the momentum like a fucking flagellum on an
33:14
amba or something. I'm using the right terms, feeling very sad.
33:21
I'm probably just making fun of it because that's what
33:24
I looked like when I was trying to do pull
33:25
ups and pe class as a kid, I could I
33:29
could never do pull up. So look they made you
33:31
do pull ups. Oh man, they didn't do that ship
33:34
in my school. I think everybody knew. Well, we had
33:37
those like presidential fitness things, right, but it was never yo,
33:42
maybe my you know what, My school didn't have a
33:44
thing to pull up on, so I think we just
33:46
did fucking uh like mild times and push ups rope
33:53
right yeah, ohh no, See my elementary school, I didn't
33:58
have a gym until like school. We didn't have a
34:01
gym at my like elementary school, everything was outside. Takes sense, yeah,
34:06
so we were just out here, couldn't even pull up
34:07
on anything. That's we got these old and the flexibility
34:13
one to where you put on they had embarrassing But
34:17
I used to get loose before that one because I
34:20
was the one I kind of excelled at. Like I
34:21
wasn't hitting as many push ups as like other kids,
34:23
but it was a my old guy. But I was
34:25
bad at everything else. What was your time? I don't
34:28
remember but all right, it was I think it was
34:30
like five minutes five minute as well as a ten
34:36
year old. I like that one. All right, there's new
34:39
Congress coming in. New Congress just dropped, and a lot
34:43
of speculation about what the agendas are going to be,
34:45
and we're starting to see them take shape. And the
34:48
Republicans are kind of as suspected, you know, they're they're
34:53
in line with Elon Musk's cool joke about my pronouns
34:57
are investigate, fauci, prosecute. Actually, yeah, if you want to
35:03
be respectful. But yeah, like it's all a bunch of
35:05
fishing expeditions. Obviously, Hunter Biden's laptop is going to be
35:10
a huge one. And like other Trump grievances, right like
35:14
marching up people who cross Trump, it's probably how they're
35:17
gonna waste all their energy. But um, they've also said
35:21
that they are going to act like politicians who are
35:24
worried about governmental dysfunction, and they will be looking into
35:29
COVID AID abuse. Really the thing they couldn't give a
35:34
fuck less about, the very thing many of them benefited
35:39
from personally, while working Americans were left to language that yes,
35:45
you will get to the bottom of that for fucking sure,
35:49
No they won't. But again, this is gonna be an
35:51
attempt to try and act like all of this abuse
35:53
didn't happen under their watch with Trump in office. Um,
35:57
because again, we didn't hear a single fucking peep unless
36:01
it was like about helping those in actual need, you
36:04
know what I mean. That's when they had something to say.
36:06
It wasn't like when people are just taking off of
36:08
all his money and like people just like being like, yeah, man,
36:11
I bought a landownership. It was pretty dope. But apparently
36:13
they will get to the bottom of this. I think again,
36:16
it will be a very bizarro optics circus because they're like, Okay,
36:20
we gotta get away from the election denial, but we
36:22
also got to chum the waters for the base to
36:24
be angry enough to vote while also trying to appeal
36:27
to new voters who aren't has put off by racism, homophobias, enophobia,
36:31
and just general societal regression. How about the Democrats where
36:35
we gonna get from them? They got control of the Senate. Still, yeah, Jack,
36:39
thank you for bringing that up, because Chuck shoot me
36:43
and the crew are gonna roll up their fucking sleeves
36:46
and start cracking some skulls, you know what they've been saying.
36:48
They said, Okay, first of all, they since they have
36:50
their like outright majority in the Senate, they have subpoena power.
36:54
They don't need Republicans to buy in at all. Um,
36:57
So what will they do? They have said they're going
36:59
to look into corporate abuses of power. Really, they said
37:06
they're going full populist folks. You know what they want
37:09
to see. They said they want to see like what
37:11
fossil fuel companies have been up to, big tech, if
37:14
they're overstepping compromising our privacy, what's going on with inflation.
37:18
But before you go and think we're about to get,
37:20
you know, enter some new age of progressivism, I would
37:23
just consider the limitations that the Democrats are mindful of.
37:25
This is from NBC News just when they first were
37:27
speaking to Democrats about their agenda. Quote still Democratic Senate
37:32
sources said there will be limitations in the use of subpoenas,
37:34
which in many cases require majority support on committees. According
37:37
to nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, one reason is that the
37:41
Senate map is extremely challenging for Democrats, with three members
37:45
defending seats and red states in another five and competitive
37:48
purple states. Those senators may be particularly sensitive about supporting
37:52
subpoenas that come in partisan flavors. Now, if you're about
37:56
looking at corporate overreach, can imagin that's gonna smack of
38:02
partisan unless we're talking about you know, your benefactors. It
38:06
seems like that would be broadly popular. These corporations fucked
38:11
you over. We got to be very careful. Hold on no, hold,
38:15
Amy's based in Minnesota, So you can't bring three m
38:18
up here. Don't bring three do not subpoena three M
38:20
or Amy Klobuchar is gonna be a fucking shit. Okay,
38:23
find someone else, get Sam Bankman fraud or that guy
38:27
there barely has any fucking barely any good will points
38:30
for that, you know what I mean. Like they're gonna
38:31
bring up, they're gonna do ship, they're gonna bring like
38:34
people forward. I'm just a little weary, um because you
38:40
know when you say that's like, well, we really want
38:42
to do this stuff. But Senate Math, you know, like
38:46
so they're basically saying maybe there will be in well,
38:48
in no way actually deliver on the initial premise that
38:51
we threw out there. I can see them doing some
38:53
stuff in big tech fossil fuel companies are safe as
38:56
safe unless it's like Saudi Aramco or something. You know
38:59
what I mean, I might start a war, but not
39:01
nothing's happening to big fossil field companies. It's creepy that
39:05
that makes so much sense to me that like they
39:07
would go after building more weapons or using the weapons
39:11
that are already built to make some profit that way,
39:14
rather than actually going after the companies. But guys, I
39:18
had this conversation with my father the other day. He's
39:21
in his seventies and his retirement funds. With the all
39:25
the stock market stuff that's been happening, they have just
39:28
been rocky. Let's say, um, and I wonder, like what
39:32
happens if let's say, let's say Democrats actually did go
39:36
after energy companies and the big tech companies and did
39:40
do some good right, like made these companies pay their
39:43
fair share or you know, pay back um humans when
39:48
there's been some kind of environmental disaster or something like that,
39:52
and then the stock market plummets for for at least
39:54
in those sectors. Like what happens to all the older folks?
39:59
And does matter? What do you think? I think? Like anything? Right,
40:03
it's a very very well set up game where they
40:06
have tied people's livelihoods to the fucking stock market. You
40:11
know what I mean, it's such a risky, fucking look
40:13
at all these people are getting sucked over because certain
40:16
like municipalities are school districts were like using f t
40:20
X and like crypto for their fucking like pension funds.
40:26
That's that's where it's fucked up, you know what I mean,
40:29
the fact that now, because to your point, that is
40:32
something to consider because if someone says, you know, we
40:34
need a kneecap these fucking fossil fuel companies, then someone
40:38
can say, well, you know, like X, you know, like
40:42
let's say just whatever, this is a hypothetical. Like the
40:45
firefighters in New York, like a lot of their pensions
40:47
are tied to that performance of this industry. That's really bad.
40:51
And I am here to lobby on behalf of them
40:53
to tell you this will be the knock on effect
40:55
of your legislation. And that's where it gets murky and
40:58
you put people up against the wall and there's more
41:01
education needed. But I totally, I totally get that. It's
41:04
just weird. It becomes an oral borrows like all of it, right,
41:07
it's all interconnected, and that's what makes the system of
41:11
capitalism like that's why the statement it's easier to imagine
41:14
the end of the world than the end of capitalism
41:16
like makes so much sense. It's just massive and ongoing
41:20
and self perpetuating and smarter than any like single human.
41:24
So it's it's going to find a way to survive
41:27
and you know, punish anything that threatens its overall health.
41:31
But I mean, the last time we had a major
41:33
market collapse, the people weren't bailed out, like the people
41:40
who lost their savings, but the people at the top
41:43
of the companies were bailed out. So I'm sure there's
41:46
some version of this where you provide relief and support
41:50
to people who get sucked over by the operating of
41:54
a of a company that like they didn't have access
41:57
to what like a company that was at ying and
42:00
committing from who You're just gonna give money away, jack, Yeah,
42:03
We've been giving money away to corporations and CEOs and
42:08
thanks for like that's the only time America feels okay
42:13
about giving money what. So it's like, we we need
42:15
some protections in place for people who are going to
42:18
get sucked over by all the horribly corrupt things that
42:22
have been happening now for decades. But it needs to
42:25
protect people, uh and people who are trying to retire
42:32
and be able to like live out their lives and
42:33
not protect Morgan Stanley's ability to continue giving up million
42:38
dollar bonuses to themselves would be my argument. But yeah,
42:43
I think, but I think it's just important, right. It's
42:45
like more people have to be in touch with understanding
42:48
like just how unpredictable and just how like sort of
42:53
well set up everything is, so like you depend on
42:56
the stock market while also acknowledging that like the philosophy
43:00
of like infinite growth is also the it's like these
43:04
of and solution to all of life's problems. Um, so
43:09
you're in this like really fucked space, and I think
43:12
it just takes a you know, I think, like anything,
43:15
the more people are able to like articulate that, it'll
43:18
feel less like, well, then what do we do about this? Like, yeah,
43:20
we do this because we've been giving money to the
43:23
fucking people who don't fucking need it while other people
43:26
end up rotting. And that's the that's the fucking game here.
43:28
It's not well what about X on you? Where's your
43:33
fucking livelihood. Where's your sense of stability, where is your
43:36
ability to like feel safe and that you can provide
43:39
for your family? What about fucking you man, fuck these
43:42
billion dollar companies, Seriously, don't send your empathy that way.
43:46
Understand the system and then find a way that you
43:48
can actually at least be able to inform yourself and
43:51
others that like, these are the real stakes because the
43:53
more we like flounder on and like this sort of
43:56
half understanding what's going on and half wanting to ignore it,
43:59
the longer it's going to continue. And it's the same
44:02
ship we see with the Democrats of this whole thing
44:04
of like being like we're tacking populist until we act
44:07
like again, you'll have to forgive my cynicism here because
44:11
they've seen this so many times. But the proof will
44:14
be in what comes after these grillings. Will there be
44:18
regulation other than that it's just going to be a
44:20
bunch of fucking YouTube clips that they're gonna fucking fundraise
44:23
off of. And that's that's the other part is people
44:26
need to be able to demand that from the politicians.
44:29
But again, knowing how everything is set up, you start
44:31
to see how fucking hard it is to break that.
44:34
And with all this things, like yeah, we got to
44:35
consider the Senate, I'm like, look at every single thing
44:37
they did that with Obamacare, build back better, child tax credits,
44:41
every piece of climate legislation, looking every piece of banking reform,
44:45
fucking every piece of police reform. It's all you know
44:47
about Senate matter the map. They just have to make
44:50
you feel like they're the team that's gonna do those
44:52
things or could do those things, or maybe you would
44:54
want to do those things exactly. And I think many
44:57
people are at a point now where they just want
44:59
to feel like fucking make good on all this ship
45:02
because we're very quickly like as people situations become more dire,
45:07
you're really just gonna like I think people are gonna
45:08
become fully apathetic, uh and just really see like what's
45:12
the like what they just court my vote every two
45:14
to four years for fucking what like incremental change. Yeah,
45:17
we need a chaotic good party as a third party
45:20
in the US, you know what I mean. Like they're
45:22
they're always aiming for good whatever that is, but they're
45:25
just super chaotic about it. Yeah, we have the chaotic evil. Yeah, Yeah,
45:31
I just got a notification last night from Uber being like, hey,
45:35
donate to help us continue to provide service to the
45:39
Ukrainian fighters. And it's just like this built in logic
45:43
of like you're a like fifty billion dollar company and
45:48
you are asking me for donations for you to do
45:52
something that is benefit well not, here's the thing. Actually
45:55
we already donated fifty million, but we're just trying to
45:59
get that back right, right, so you the individual. But
46:03
that's the logic that works in America. Like stepping outside,
46:06
it's it's like, well, that doesn't make sense. Why are
46:09
they a massive corporation asking me, a private individual for donations?
46:15
And it's because they can in our country, right, But
46:19
you know that, like when you go to the store,
46:20
they're like, would you look to feed a homeless dog? Yeah,
46:23
they're just recouping what they're already. Your money isn't going
46:26
to that, they already made their donation. They're just taking
46:29
your money to make themselves whole and it's a huge
46:32
tax benefit. Yeah yeah, yeah baby, until they get your
46:39
ass um let's take a quick break. I want to
46:42
talk about UFOs and we're back and Matt, you know
46:57
stuff they don't want you to know. Great show, that
47:00
talks about a lot of the things that I can
47:02
talk for twenty four hours straight about without realizing I've
47:06
been talking about it for too long. And what one
47:09
of those subjects is UFOs. We had a moment where
47:13
UFOs were an official beats the hell out of us
47:16
from the Pentagon, but then a recent report in October
47:20
from the Pentagon went back to the old party line
47:22
of weather balloons and added in enemy spycraft to the mix.
47:27
I'm personally a little more comfortable with this version of
47:29
reality where UFOs are a thing they don't want us
47:33
to know about. Yeah, is one of the stuff they
47:36
don't want us to know about. But what's the what's
47:39
you guys take coming from the world of stuff that
47:42
don't want you to know? Well, I can't speak for
47:44
those guys, But one of the things we did for
47:46
our our book that you mentioned at the top of
47:48
this episode is we looked at historical evidence of UFOs
47:53
right or sightings, and just we looked at them kind
47:56
of as a blanket, and we try to match that
47:58
up with known secret U S tech that was being
48:02
developed out of Groom Lake area fifty one, that like
48:05
Boeing was developing or North Grumman or some of these
48:07
other private companies that were working with the US government,
48:11
and we we really could see, like the SR seventy
48:14
one Blackbird, just that badass looking plane that could fly
48:18
higher than any other plane. It was basically a space
48:21
plane and it feel faster because actually, I don't know
48:25
if you guys remember learning about that as kids, but
48:27
like how that plane actually kind of changed its shape
48:31
when it started going full speed at the height that
48:34
it was going at, it could bend a little bit
48:36
out and then come back in, just like badass stuff
48:40
that the public didn't know about, the enemies of the
48:43
United States didn't know about. But this thing was being
48:45
tested and flown for years and years and years just
48:49
up there, right, And a plane like that can account
48:52
for a lot of the sightings. Same thing with a
48:57
lot of the spy tech that the US was developing.
48:59
It does to account for all of it, right, And
49:01
it never would be able to account for every sighting
49:04
of something strange in the sky, but it really does
49:07
make you realize how much of it can be accounted for,
49:11
just with the secret stuff that has like a budget
49:14
that's unacknowledged and they've just been doing it and testing
49:17
it for years. You know, I have to stress this.
49:21
That doesn't mean there isn't something weirder going on out there,
49:24
or something we can't yet explain, or we just don't
49:27
know about multiple logical explanations. Yes, it's just plausible that
49:32
a good number are are doing that. The thing that
49:35
really weirds me out personally guys their reports. We actually
49:38
had a guy call in who was on oh gosh,
49:42
it was the U S s oh Mahaw. It's a
49:44
U S naval ship and there was a swarm of
49:47
of U A p unidentified aerial phenomena going on above
49:51
that ship, as well as several others that we're all
49:54
on their way to the South China Sea for a
49:56
thing several several years back. I'm gonna be really vague
49:59
about it because he was. He was a little nervous
50:02
about mentioning some of the specifics. What they experienced on
50:06
that ship was tracking via radar another sensor, well, it
50:10
was it's not radar, what do they call it. It's
50:12
like sensors that can track, so they lock onto something, yes, exactly,
50:18
whether it's infrared or you know, radar or some other signal.
50:23
They're tracking these things and they watched them go to
50:26
a specific point on the ocean. They shoot a flare
50:30
that tracks exactly to that point, and it appears that
50:33
they enter the water. These things were flying higher than
50:37
one of the black Hawk helicopters that was on board
50:39
could fly, so it's above the flight ceiling of that helicopter.
50:43
Then they went into the water and disappeared. Yeah, that
50:48
to me, if that was real tech that some other
50:51
country had or the U S had, that's incredible to
50:54
go trans medium like that, flying through the air then
50:57
in like plunging into the ocean and then just flying
51:00
through the ocean essentially, that's game changing stuff. That's kind
51:04
of terrifying really if you think again, I mean was
51:07
prepared though, I saw a flight of the Navigator. Uh
51:10
you know that this the ship did the same ship
51:12
out of PT. Lauderdale, I remember, yeah, But I mean
51:16
that was that was the beginning of the sixty minutes
51:19
uh interview. Like the first thing they saw is they
51:21
came up in this like little white tic tech was
51:24
moving above something that seemed to be like roiling the
51:27
ocean water and was like under the surface, and then
51:31
it like flew up and came close to them and
51:34
then like zipped away at hypersonic speeds and it's again, yeah,
51:39
that's the thing that they seemed to see a lot
51:41
of is like things that are happening over the ocean
51:45
and seemed to be coming out of the ocean. It
51:47
also makes a sort of sense to me because you know,
51:51
the place you usually have these encounters is like out
51:54
in the desert where there aren't a lot of eye witnesses,
51:56
and the only place where there's gonna be even fewer
51:58
eyewitnesses is over the ocean, right, which is the biggest
52:03
chunk of you know, area on the planet. So how
52:08
convenient real convenient? Guys, do you think it could also
52:13
be like the D O D being like, Yo, like
52:17
our fucking like our fucking you know, our tech development
52:21
is getting too lit now and people are noticing, they're like,
52:23
you're fucking say that is aliens or something. Don't let
52:26
them know we got that, And then people and then
52:29
people are like, yo, what the fund is aliens? Like Yo,
52:32
fucking chill out, man, it's not working. But like, okay,
52:34
go back and just be like it could be the
52:37
funking It might be enemy spy crap, you know what
52:39
I mean? Like it's like it's like like which one
52:44
is it? Like you either go full board. I mean
52:46
obviously that's the morest like uh flippant take, but but
52:50
I don't know, like there's part of me is thinking, yeah,
52:52
like if it is something that's being developed, I don't know.
52:54
It just seems like so mind blowing that I don't
52:57
like that the government's keeping secrets from right, well, you know,
53:02
the takeaway from stuff I don't want you to know
53:03
that we talked about this with you, I think Jack.
53:06
The big takeaway is this is a perfect plan to
53:09
get more budget allocated to either Space Force or Air
53:13
Force or whatever is whoever is going to be doing
53:16
the studying of these things and uh testing and all that.
53:20
It's a very good way to do it. Yeah, And
53:22
I mean I guess I feel like maybe the initial
53:25
like we actually don't know what it is, was like
53:27
a focus group test like weather balloon, if you will,
53:31
where they were like putting that out there to see
53:33
if people got terrified enough that they were like, we
53:36
demand that you spend trillions to get us ready, and
53:39
when people just kind of greeted it like huh, okay,
53:43
that's kind of too big for my individual brain to
53:47
take in. They were just like, all right, let's go
53:48
back to enemy spycraft. The one thing that like makes
53:52
me skeptical that it's d D or you know, Pentagon technology,
53:57
is that, like, didn't the Pentagon just like spends billions
54:02
and billions of dollars on a plane that like they
54:05
could never get to fly in the rain, right, they
54:08
just couldn't deal with the rain, So like, I don't
54:11
know are they doing that? All that were incompetent, you know,
54:17
they're like, so you gotta funk up something real big
54:19
and silly so that everybody nobody believes all the other
54:24
cool ship we can. Or to make up for the
54:25
billions lost on that development thing, they had to do
54:28
a psi op in the form of this tic tak
54:31
ship to get more funding to offset the losses of
54:33
the plane that couldn't fly in the rain. Or or
54:37
they spent approximately a hundred thousand dollars trying to develop
54:41
that plane, and the rest of that funds, all those
54:43
funds were allocated to you know, Carry fifty one to
54:47
develop this other thing that is now the U A
54:49
P Craft. That's what I'm saying. Who knows, I don't
54:52
know everything is by a lake groom Lake, China Lake.
54:56
There's always like these like big installation I mean not
54:59
those are only two that I could think about. There's
55:02
a lot of stuff out there. Yeah, and I know
55:05
in China Lake, I had a friend drive near there
55:08
and some like a security person pulled up on him. Yeah. Yeah,
55:12
they don't around. He was on public land. He just
55:15
got out of his car to like just take a
55:18
picture of like the mountain view, and some dude pulled
55:21
up in a truck that like looked semi official looking
55:23
and just started like asking him what was up, and
55:27
then like drove down the road and then was like
55:29
close enough that the guys like I think he was
55:31
making sure I left. Yeah. So, like when you add
55:34
all these things together, I mean, like sure, there's there's
55:37
clearly a bunch of spooky stuff going on. But anyway,
55:41
aliens got to be real, right, they have to be
55:44
real because of the Fermi paradox and and all the math.
55:49
But have they been here? I guess is the probably not?
55:54
Do you think not? Probably not? I don't know unless
55:58
they got her way before us. I'm like fifty fifty
56:01
on it. I feel like the fact that I have
56:04
a version of the story in my mind where they
56:08
are just here to make sure we don't destroy ourselves
56:12
before we can be useful, and that's why they always
56:15
show up around military stuff and nuclear weapon labs and stuff.
56:19
But it's also not what the Pentagon wants, because they
56:22
have this massive expenditure, you know, supporting this vision of
56:26
the world that is, well, if you had really good technology,
56:30
they'd kill us, so we need to have even better technology.
56:33
And I'm like the idea that something they can like
56:37
fly out of the ocean and back into the ocean
56:39
and like at hypersonic speeds without any visible form of
56:43
propulsion is out there and just basically like treating us
56:47
like an infant that they're trying not to like have
56:51
destroy themselves would really kind of funk up that that
56:55
world view. They're just out there scanning TikTok and just
56:57
watching Marjorie Taylor Green thing. Well. The other persons like yeah,
57:05
they're like, wow, it's only two it took them so long.
57:09
They're like, God, these fucking idiots down there, What the fuck?
57:14
Why are we stationed out here at this stupid base
57:17
watching these fucking losers every day? They're not gonna do shit.
57:21
This guy six reasons aliens aren't real, although this one
57:26
lady did finally figure out the best way to do
57:28
a pull up, so we got that. My alien sounds
57:32
like Alex Jones for some reason. Matt as always a
57:35
true pleasure having you on the show. This is my
57:38
first time I've ever been on the show with you, guys.
57:39
This is amazing. Good to have a person from stuff
57:42
you should know or stuff they don't want to know.
57:45
I did kind of create that one too, So let's
57:48
let's let's get from this stuff days. Man. Let's let's
57:50
say that the O g s. You know what I mean?
57:52
Where can people find you? Follow you here? You all
57:55
that good stuff? Well, you can find stuff that it
57:57
wants you to know. Most places we are at conspiracy
58:01
stuff on Instagram. It's conspiracy stuff show. I would recommend
58:06
buying the book again, it's wherever you can buy books.
58:09
Try and buy it local if you if you can,
58:11
If not, you know, Amazon's got it or whatever. There's
58:15
an audio book component too, that's pretty fun. It's the
58:17
three of us just kind of reading the pros that
58:20
Ben ended up combining into what is the book? And
58:24
it's pretty delightful. Is there a tweet or some of
58:30
the work of social media you've been enjoying. Yes, there is.
58:33
We've been doing a lot of social media lately that
58:35
I've gotten to be a part of. Again, I don't
58:38
use it on my own personally, but I'm making these
58:41
fun videos like YouTube shorts and Instagram things and like,
58:45
like I said, TikTok and Ben and Nol created one
58:49
recently that I'm putting it on repeat. And it's not
58:52
it's not amazing. It's all about the first line Ben
58:56
drops like as you're coming into the scene and has
58:59
nothing to do with the scene. Is that a technique
59:01
but your writing technique. It's a non sequitor line that's
59:04
like ending the conversation that was happening before this. Yeah. Yeah,
59:09
I feel like that in a lot of like eighties
59:11
movies where you would hear like something completely random and
59:14
then everybody would laugh yeah, and then the Men in
59:18
Black he goes, honey, this one's eating my popcorn, and
59:23
then Real Smith comes to in time and the Jones like,
59:26
come on, Junior. I always remember that. I'm like, honey,
59:28
this one's eating my popcorn. I don't get it. Well,
59:31
Ben did that, and it's like the camera is coming
59:35
down and Ben is finishing the sentence. But anyway, luckily
59:40
it was just chocolate and then just continues on with
59:43
the thing and just that sentence. Luckily it was just chocolate. Um.
59:47
I don't know. I just watched the whole video to
59:49
wrap back around to that line. Now, could go in
59:54
a lot of different directions. Um, exactly right, CVS. Maybe
59:59
who knows my Where can people find you with the
1:00:01
tweet you've been enjoying? Oh man, find me on with
1:00:06
that weird fucking website with the Emerald Apartheid guy or
1:00:10
Instagram or where there's other at symbols at Miles of Gray.
1:00:13
Um also check jacking out on our basketball podcast Miles
1:00:17
and Jack got mast coming out Thursdays. And then also
1:00:21
if you like fiance, check me out on four twenty
1:00:23
day fiance tweet. I like, there's a couple. One is
1:00:26
just so local and this is only for l A people.
1:00:29
There's this podcast called eight one Eights and Heartbreaks that's
1:00:32
just about like the San Fernando Valley and you know
1:00:34
how Fox with them over there, but someone just tweeted
1:00:37
at them. I guess on an episode they're asking for
1:00:39
like weird value memories. Someone said at Campbell Hall, when
1:00:41
I was like in ninth or tenth grade, some of
1:00:43
the middle schoolers got too high on edibles and had
1:00:45
to be taken away by ambulance. Uh. And that's the
1:00:48
