I made a decision face the sunny sound. I had a vision. What's
up everybody for crying out? Love? Hey, how you doing? Stuffy?
How you feeling? I'm sick, but I'm here because I love.
I'm a giver and I like to give other people the flu right when I
can. Right, I have the flu. Here's what happened. Happen.
What happened is I thought I had allergies. I after we recorded last week,
I was like him, like him, you know that feeling that's not
I didn't have a fever. I didn't even feel that sick. I just
had a couldn't clear my throat enough and I was like a little bit congested.
So meanwhile, as as I told you last week, Xander had upthroat
right. So then Sadie started not feeling well. So like now I'm not
feeling great, and say, but Sadie got like a fever, And I
was like, I don't know for sure if I'm sick, but I feel
like I am. But Sadie's definitely sick. She's got a fever. Her
fever went up to like one hundred and one. So like, I don't
know when it was a few days ago, I was like, well,
you know, this fucking school is going to be you know, I think.
So she didn't go to school on Friday, and then on Saturday,
I was like, I don't know, this girl's not looking good for Monday
either. So I decided to go to urgent care, my favorite urgent care.
Go to urgent care with Sadie. I get us both checked out.
So they did all the tests, the COVID, influenza, and STREPP.
They come back and they're like, well she's got STREPP to Sadie and you've
got the flu influenza A. And I was like, well that doesn't even
make sense. But here's what I'm thinking how happened. I think that Xander
had also had the flu, because remember I told you that it was weird
that he was coughing so much, but that they kept saying like, oh,
no, strep throat is just a throat infection. So so I think
he had the flu, but it already wasn't testing positive for it anymore.
And then I think he gave it to me. I don't know. I'm
not a doctor. Even though I went to medical school, I didn't I
yes, okay, I'm I am a doctor. I graduated, but I
didn't. I haven't about it. I practiced for four years. Listen,
if I had the degree, i'd be bragging too. Yeah. So I
was like, let me see, let me see those reports, let me
look over the report. So yeah, so I guess I have the flu,
but there's nothing to do for it because I was too far out of
the window for any Tama flu or anything. So I asked if I could
go to work on Monday, and they're like, yeah, I don't see
why not. You've already had it long enough, Like you're kind of out
of the window. And listen, like I said, I am a doctor,
So like, if you also think you're a doctor, please don't come
at me on Facebook. You probably were still contagious. You probably were contagious
last week. Maybe, But here we are, Kaylin and I standing while
I was sick last week. Okay, well, maybe you had the flu
and gave it to me, and so I separately have the flu and my
two kids gave each other strap maybe because we recorded last week, but I
wasn't. I wasn't feeling sick at all when we were recording, and then
the next day I started to get a sore throat and I started coughing,
and then you know, I texted Dylan and Pat like, hey, guys,
I started testing for COVID and they have come back negative. And they
were like, no, no, no, stay home. I was like,
okay, uh and then me and Patch and then I got a really
bad sore throat on Wednesday and Pat had the same thing I did, so
I fuck. I bought like a pack of cough drops essentially, and me
and him just mowed through the entire pack on our pond work like throughout the
day. And I think I eat way too many of those things. Yeah,
I just pop one in one after another. I don't think you're supposed
to eat them. I was like, oh, what's the big deal?
Yeah, and uh so, yeah, so last week I had I felt
I had a sore road a little bit of a cough. But yeah,
I was sick last week too. Yeah, you guys probably were had it
on Monday. This is just like knock on wood problems, like the heavy
duty congestion and cough is just kind of freaking relentless and then you can't sleep.
They gave me cough medicine. Oh it's kind of funny because I said
She's like, I'm gonna give you something for the cough, and I said,
okay, but like not narcotic. Right now, you would think if
I said not narcotic that I'm not drug seeking. I'm like making sure and
she was like, no, we don't give out narcotics here. And I
was like that lady, Jesus. I was like, settled down, yeah,
not trying to buy getting myself some narc catics to like sell on the
black market. I just told I was if you let me finish, I
would have told you because I don't want any narcotics. I can't have narcotics.
But she was, yeah, I'm not giving you any narcotics. I
was like, okay, Jesus. So I got something called like benzon tote
to tate. I don't know Benzon tater tot and it's a tussen So it's
supposed to help her leave the cough. The reason I tell you that is
because I've took one before I came here to make sure that I wasn't going
to be coughing through our whole show and annoying everybody. And I think it's
working out. Yeah, you coughed like once through our Patreon yeah, you've
been. I didn't even notice when you cough. Yeah, I remember you
go ahead and do it. I'll just mark it and edit it out later.
Our first four episodes that we ever did of Sword and Scale, we
just never lived down because people were like, that girl has tuberculosis. Everybody's
got something to say. Yeah, and they were like, don't you have
a mute button? And I was like, oh my god, I was
trying dying. I don't think I was sitting at the seat that had the
mute button, so I was like getting down on the ground. I was
getting all the way away from the mic and coughing. But it was well,
that was I don't know if you guys remember this because I barely ever
talked about it, but I had a lung infection right at that time,
so oh wow. Yeah. So I don't know if this is having a
cold or if this is menopause post menopause, but oh my god, do
I wake up like so often at three o'clock in the morning and I'm just
wide awake, like my eyes pop open and I'm like hello, like I
could literally get dressed. What is that I've been having? It sucks?
Yes, And I'm like why away, And then I have to do this
crazy thing where like, and I know I'm not supposed to look at my
phone, but like, what are you supposed to do? Just lay there
in the dark and go um like no, So I look at my phone
and I think like, oh, I'll just look at Facebook a little bit,
like put myself to sleep. But then in variably some crazy stories on
Facebook or some huff Poe article that makes me really mad, you know,
or some crazy people in the comments. So then I find myself I'm kind
of riled up. And then I'm like, I'm getting way too riled up
for three thirty. Yes, I'm gonna listen to a podcast. And then
I go to my podcast app and there's no freaking new podcasts or anything that
I like. So then I go like, huh, I'm kind of desperate.
I guess maybe I could listen to like an old Snapped, but yeah,
Snapped. Here's the problem with Snapped, And they know this is like
a side sidebar from being sick. Here's my issue with Snapped. It's all
female killers, right, so you always know who it is at the very
beginning, because how many freaking women feature prominently in the story there. If
it's a regular crime pod, could be anybody, yeah right, right,
get that mislead where you're like, oh, I think this guy's good for
it, and then you're like wait, and I like this guy for it.
Then you're like, you know what, I actually think it's the cop.
And then they're like, no, it's the brother. It's the brother.
Well, if there's a woman in it, you're like, well,
it's the white already. Now it's the wife or the best friend, right,
and there you go. I see it all the time on Hulu snapped
by Oxygen. Yeah, but there's a podcast for it. I didn't know
that. It's just it's kind of boring. But it's like it's one of
those podcasts that I feel like I should like it, right, but every
time I get into one of the episodes, I start like zoning out.
But what I was going to say is that tends to put me to sleep
and did it work? They're always about like somebody's it's always a guy who's
in the military. It's like a Navy captain or like enough with the military
stories, and everyone's from the South, predictable, yeah right, No one
is from Vannuys, California. I know, nobody's from my neighborhood. Nobody's
bearing a body at Balboa Park, you know where I could walk by and
oh my god, that's where they snapped about. Yes. No, it's
always like some really small town like Virginia and like with somebody with a very
different life than mine, and I'm like somebody who meal plans. Yeah,
like right, Yes, it's always a lady that you don't expect because she
was like a really good mom and like, you know, made baked to
the best baked chicken in town. Like fuck off it. Did she snap
because the husband is beating on her or oh well they always say that,
Yeah, that's always the premise is like that it was self defense. But
usually the woman is kind of a psycho that has another body in the past,
like some other husband met his demise. So so yeah, that was
last night. I woke up at three am and I did not get back
to sleep until five. I know I have that too. Last week when
I came here, I was up since three thirties. I was up since
three thirty three forty five in the morning. I just didn't go back to
sleep. I laid there for all up but didn't go back to sleep.
What is that? How do we get to sleep? I don't know.
And then it was fall asleep so easily me too, but I wake up
and cannot fall back asleep. Yeah, I mean, especially when I'm at
my condo and I don't have to get up for the kids or whatever,
and then I'm you know, by myself. I'll fall asleep early and then
I'm just wide awake and then I just watch TV or whatever, and then
I then get up like yeah, yeah, I don't think I'm stressed or
anything, you know. I mean, I am stressed, but I was
having this before I felt stressed. Right, I'll tell you why. I'm
very stressed right now. But should we talk about something that's not stressful?
Organ a fight, something that okay, true story. I've been doing the
Organify gold to help me. It's very soothing. I've been doing that one
too. I like that one. Kaylen gave it to me. So it's
so good. It's you can it's got really soothing ingredients and you can you
can put it in hot water or you can put it in milk. It's
great for nighttime. It has a really good taste. So Organify is a
line of organic superfood blends that offer plant based nutrition with high quality ingredients.
And here's what I love, less than three grams of sugar. Yeah,
you can feel good. Tell us about Kaylin, tell us about the Red
the Red Juice, that's my jam. It's like a it's like a natural
energy booster, which I use all the time when I'm doing my pawn work.
I'm, you know, just driving in the cargo and pod and I
was I was buying like, I don't know, four or five energy drinks
a day. Wow, with all the sugar or even that no sugar added
stuff. Wich isn't supposed to be good for you. But then Organify came
on and it's so much better. It's so much healthier. It does give
me that little boost of energy, that natural boost of energy that I always
am usually drinking it around, you know, like two one, two pm,
right in the middle of my workday. So yeah, I love the
Red Juice. And they have the kit the Sun to Sunset. Yeah,
it's all three of them with the Green juice. Yeah. So do you
guys want to try it out? Which has has been on the Green Juice
a lot? Oh? I bet yeah, I bet it gets your good
in the morning sometimes too, just like Hey, I'm just gonna start my
day with this, yeah, and taste delicious. It's good. Yeah.
So go to organify dot com slash fcol and get twenty percent off your order.
That's Organify o r g a NiFi dot com slash fcol for twenty percent
off. Yeah. So I teased you guys with this last time. Yeah,
Elbi went to see Santaca. You see Santa Cu. I was thinking
about that on the way over here. I was hoping that you had an
update. It was our hail Mary, Hail Mary pass. This poor girl
has been rejected from every college except for m University of Oregon, which we
talked about, and also Sonoma State, which Elbi told me is no different
from community college, just cost more because they She was like, mom,
you'd have to literally be failing every class not to get into that school.
And I was like, okay, bitch, then why did you apply.
She was like, I don't know. You told me to. You said
they had some great creative writing program and I was like, well yeah,
She's like oh, and okay, I'm not going there. I was like,
all right, so many trees. So here's the thing, and we
already went over this last week. The thing is, I don't want to
send her to University of Oregon. Just as you know, I was like,
you have to go to Santa Cruz and have to go to an open
mind you'll see, you know, right, So John, she and John
drove up because you know, I don't like being in the car for that
many hours for one thing, right, for two things. Somebody's got to
like stay home alone in the house and watching people my beautiful doggie. So
yeah, anyway, honest to god, I think I've we've kind of been
even. John took her to see Berkeley, and he took her to see,
oh, some of the local the Pomona. He took her to see
Chapman, I believe. And I took her to see you see Santa Barbara
and you see San Diego. And the funny thing is that when we were
seeing you see Santa Barbara, I may have told you guys this last week,
I mean we were walking around like we were hot shit, Like I
thought for sure she'd get in. So it was like, yeah, you
could go here if you want to, you know, leave it up to
you. Look around, be discerning, you know, And she left there
just going, oh my god, this is the school for me. And
I was like, well, I don't see why not, you know,
And then we got this crushing news and we threw Santa Cruz in because like,
hey, we knew a couple of people that went there and said it
was a lovely school. Found nothing wrong with it. It just wasn't really
on the radar. Also, you see Davis, that was another one that
I was like, that could be a contender. You know, you'll see
what you get into. She did not want to go to you see Irvine.
But anyway, then she gets rejected to all of them, like flat
out rejected, except for Santa Barbara, where she's on the wait list.
So we are praying right now, fair hands. Okay gets into Santa Barbara
off of the wait list. Oh when does she find out? Today is
May first? So today is the day that people have to commit to a
college if they haven't already committed. Today is the cutoff for most colleges.
Okay, May first, It's a big day once you've committed. The UCS
especially and other schools can tell whether they've met their yield. So what that
means, right is that they let in a certain amount of kids knowing that
not everybody is going to commit to that school. But with the UCS,
I think it's almost worse because you're most people are going to apply to all
of them or a bunch of them. And if you get into UCLA,
like let's just say, or let's say most people's sites are set on Berkeley
or UCLA. So if they get into uc UC Berkeley, they're going to
turn down the rest of the UCS, probably right. But if they get
into let's say, UCSB and Davis and San Diego, but not Berkeley or
UCLA, then they have a choice to make. So you're going to have
some spots opening up, especially in these UCS that are kind of neck and
neck like, right, Even so, I mean, I feel like we
could hear I don't know, I mean, only like a quarter, only
like a quarter of the people on the wait list get called up to the
big show. Well when do you find that out? Though? I mean,
it could be it could be today, it could be next week,
it could be I've heard a lot of different things. It could be August.
You know, they could bring call in a bunch of other people that
are on the wait list that are more what they're looking for for those spots.
It's not like a lottery. They go, Okay, we need a
few more kids for the psychology major. So here are some kids for psychology.
If those kids don't commit or don't take the spot, then you have
another spot. So it could really roll into like even oget. I mean,
it could be last minute. So here's the thing. So she goes
to see Santa Cruz and I, you know, I hear from John when
they're at the hotel. They seem to be having a lovely time. She's
a little tired, she fell asleep early. They get up, they go
to the tour. I'm not hearing anything from Elbie. John starts sending me
pictures of trees. Why, okay, just trees up there a lot of
trees, A lot of fucking trees. Too many motherfucking trees on this motherfucking
campus the problem. And I told you. Elbi was like, I hate
trees, and all I've heard is that there's trees. But then I think
I told you last week that she has a friend who was like, I
went to see Santa Cruise and it's like not that bad. Like the trees,
right, It's not all trees well it is all trees. Alby's never
gonna She's never gonna be one of those like climbing up into the tree and
hugging the tree and not letting. Don't want anybody to cut that. She's
like, where's the fucking pacsun? Yeah, where's that target? So you
see San Diego have freaking target. I remember I told you that. Yeah.
Most of these schools have a student union, which is like where there
have like a quit not a quiz nose, but like a subway and like
a Panda Express, and they have these These are big colleges, big state
schools, right universities with um. A lot of times they don't have enough
like um, I don't know if it's the funding for the dining halls.
So they allow a fast food franchises to sell food and it's great. You
got like a Tcby yogurt and like the kids all hang out there and there's
like a theater where visiting, like you know, musicians play at your school.
Yeah this is not like that. Okay, So no, so she's
so she's not sending me anything, and John is sending me trees. Now,
John was had way more skin in the game, like because you know,
as I've said many times, like I don't know, like if she
wants to go to community college, it's fine. John's been way more of
the like, no, she needs to go to a four year school.
She's worked really hard, like that's what people do. With John, I
think, Yeah, Well, unfortunately Alby is that kid that s she is,
and she told me I want to go away to school. I want
to go away to college. So she was pretty much hoping that she would
like Santa Cruz. So I'm getting picture after picture. Also, I'm not
trying to be rude, but like I could see the other people, some
random pictures of people like on the tour, and they weren't her people,
do you know what I mean? Like, yeah, there were a lot
of very like alternative people, maybe a lot of people very much maybe into
dungeons and dragons like not that. Yeah, but and not that there's anything
wrong with it. Alby's got some interesting like nerdy pursuits too. But as
I've said, she's a real basic bitch, like she's just there was no
one like like her. There was no one that John even said later he
goes a lot of cool kids, a lot of like alternative kids, but
nobody I could really see, like Elbi bonding with Now, that doesn't mean
yeah, if she chose the school, she wouldn't meet some freaking kids before
she would. Yeah, but John's just like, it wasn't making a good
showing. It wasn't showing out well for Elbie. You know, she wasn't
seeing herself there. So John sending me picture after picture and I'm like,
oh God, how's Elbie doing? And He's like, she's sad, like
she's not liking After the tour, Elbie starts texting me. She's like,
mom, I really really tried to like it. I really did. I
went in with an open mind. I cannot see myself here. She goes,
there's nothing to do socially. She showed me a picture of apparently their
tour guide was like, yeah, most of the socializing happens from our amphitheater.
And she showed me a picture of the amphitheater. I swear to god,
it was like her camp. It was like you could maybe fit a
hundred kids there. I'm like, there's eighteen thousand kids at this campus.
That's where they hang out. She's like yeah, and apparently they don't really
hang out in the town because the transportation stops at eleven thirty, so unless
you want to uber God Like, yeah, she goes, Mom, it's
just it's just not for me. I just can't I can't see myself here.
And I was like, well, okay, then you got to go
to community college because we're out of options. So we have a meeting.
This is what I'm dealing with. I'm shock. There's a program that you
can go to community college for only one year and you can get guaranteed if
you have to do these certain requirements and get a certain GPA, which she
could totally do, and she could go to community college for get all her
credits out of the way in one year and transfer, but you have to
be a super go getter. And she would have to take like four classes
over the summer, four college classes. And I told her that and she
was like, oh, hell no, I like she's so burnt out from
school. Yeah that She's like, no, I'll kill myself, Like I'm
not like I'm finally going to be done with school, like I want a
summer off. And I'm like, okay, but then you're gonna you're committing
yourself to two years at community college. So we're meeting with a counselor tomorrow
and I'm going to have her lay it all out for Elby. I'm going
to be on the zoom, it's over, zoom. Is it the same
counselor you had before for her? Or Oh no, no, no.
This is like a counselor at the local community college who can speak to this
program that they have and like exactly how hardcore it would be. She can
listen to what classes Elbe's already taken and help her figure out like what she
needs, if this is the right approach for her, or if she should
just relax the first year and just get some fun credits out of the way
and take different classes, or if she should hammer down for her major and
try to get it out of the way in one year and then apply November.
She would literally be applying this November. Wow. Wow. Listen.
Elby is a go getter, I think, and she when she puts her
mind to it, and I think that you know, she knows what she
wants. And I think talking to the counselor's going to be a big help
for you. Yeah, it'll clear it up. I think it will make
some things clear yeah, it just sucks as a parent. I feel,
yeah, a lot of things. I don't you think I feel I got
these two. I mean, Elby is a is a you know what do
you call it? Studio? Yes, very stupidemic. Yes, she's an
academic studying Italia. So listen. Now you can have a more realistic kind
of view over this, and you can go, hey, here's some schools
where you can get in and get some money and then have a program that
you're interested in. And like, I don't know, they have to have
you said, you said in Itali is like doing well. Now it depends
like he is doing really well. Okay, she's her grades are up.
As long as she's above a three point zero average, she can apply to
UC's. But you can look at I mean, listen, like I said,
I went, I got into U Mass and I had a two point
three GPA. Yeah, it can be done. It's just that we were
not We didn't. We weren't realistic with all beings. I just thought she
was, Hey, she gets great grade, she's taken ten aps. Yeah,
she's this kind of kick ass student. She's she's a go getter,
Like, why wouldn't she get right? Well, I would be the same
way and were awakening. If I were you, I would have felt the
same way. But maybe because she limited it to a certain part, you
know, to California and you know. Yeah, but we just thought,
like, why wouldn't she get into one of Like I think she could have
been happy at UCSD, UCSB, David, Like I think any one of
those letter in I think that would have definitely been a contender. Right,
but listen, at least here's the bright side. UCSB is where she really
wants to go. At least she's on the waiting list for that one.
So who knows, Yeah, who knows. You don't know, Let's manifest
that shit, you know, yes, let's manifest's put it out there to
the universe. Yes, if everyone who listens to our podcast would like,
you know, do a girl with solid and like put some thoughts out there,
like it kind of works, I'll tell you. I had to take
Natalia to her try to get her past her permit for her driver's license twice.
On her third time, I was like, oh my god. I
sent a text to everybody I know, like when can you pray for Natalia?
Like everybody fingers crossed. She came out past like yay, yes,
I was like, oh my god, it worked. When was that.
She's had a permit a while, right, yeah? Yeah? Does she
have an appointment for her since yet she's got the driving I get it,
she's getting the driver instructor going oh, okay, you got to do that
first. She'll be ready for her license in October. Oh sweet, yeah,
great, Oh my god. I think that's a very similar schedule to
Elby. I think she oh no, she took her driving test on August
thirty first. Is there an August thirty first? I think there is?
Yeah, yeah, thirty days half September, April, June, and November
all the rest of thirty one. Yep, yeah, February which has twenty
eight right, yeah, August thirty first, there is. Yeah. Well,
I'm praying for her. I hope that she gets what she wants.
I think that's a good plan for sure, to talk to such an emotional
roller coaster now, because I think Elbi's cried more in the last like a
couple months than she has like the whole time life owner, whole time I've
at her. I know, it's just so heartbreaking, so disappointing, devastating,
like you just feel like, what's wrong with me? And you know,
just to not really have a choice that she's happy with. Yeah.
But at the same time, like I said last week, I'm not paying
fifty over Like, I'm not paying fifty three thousand dollars a year for her
to go to a school that she hadn't even been considering for no right,
real reason, right, especially if she could do community college for one year
and go to US, the school that is like she loves. Yeah,
Yeah, I think that's a good plan. Yeah, Yeah, and I
think she'll do it. You know who we haven't said hi to? Oh
my god, forgot about Well, we didn't forget about you, guys,
We just didn't. We love you guys. Yeah, Like Jennifer falls well
her, I'm a little lukewarm on her own. There's the Fano and Leslie

I go on Facebook, it's a happy birthday. Wasn't it just his birthday

You guys were talking about something, oh, Kalin, Yeah, you were
talking about a documentary you saw that sounded fascinating documentary. So I watched the
document and I don't even I'm not really a big documentary person, but I
am an alien person. I love anything that has to do with the UFOs
or aliens or anything like that. So I watched. I actually rented,
I actually paid for because it wasn't dreaming. This documentary called Moment of Contact.
Okay, Now when you say you rented it, you don't mean like
at a store. No, you got it off of like got it off
like theoft the Microsoft. Okay, yeah, but yeah, yeah, you
have the rent option and the buy options. I just rented it. So
the story goes that Moment of Contact. So the story goes apparently were not
Apparently in nineteen ninety six, in the town of Virginia, Brazil, a
alien spaceship crashed, like actually crashed, and two of the aliens on board
like had to leave and left the spaceship and they one of them was captured
by like the fire department in like some bushes or something. What did it
look like? Did they have pictures? Yeah, well they had Okay,
So the other one that was captured was was found in this area in the
town. It's like, you know, there's tons of houses, but in
between there was just kind of this plot of grass and apparently there's these three
young girls there I don't know, maybe like twelve at the time, and
they're just walking and this is in broad daylight. This is that like three
PM or something of that. These three girls are walking through this just plot,
like going home from school or something, and they looked to their left
and there's like an alien crouched down. But how do they know it's an
alien? What does it look like? So there's like an artist rendition of
it, right, and it has these giant red eyes, like they said,
three times the size of like human eyes. It's very thin. It
has like greasy skin, greasy sticky skin, which I'll talk about how they
know that later. So they see this thing and like they run home,
they tell their mom, the mom brings them back. The mom sees like
a footprint, but it's obviously it's only got like three fingers. So this
alien that's in this plot of land I guess is scared by them too,
ends up kind of running away. It runs in front of a police car.
One of the police officers gets out and grabs this thing and puts it
in the trunk of the car and they drive it to the hospital. Be
Yes, maybe, like what if it can like vaporize mirrors? I know,
Well here's the thing. That's how they I said that sticky and greasy
skin because this guy had this like greasy sticky, which is you're not supposed
to be both greasy and sticky. I don't know how that works. But
anyway, this guy that picked it up with its bare hands and took it
in the hospital, then in the coming days developed a horrible infection, a
horrible infection that could not be treated, and he died no way, And
the guy's sister is in the movie like telling the story. The other officer
that was in the car, they tried to go talk to him, and
he's like a recluse who threatens to shoot them and kill them if they pursue
anything. But this whole incident, Okay, So then there's these aliens at
the hospital they take they make a doctor like X ray it through a bag
or whatever. Nobody sees any of the records from the X ray. Eventually
the US government comes in, takes everything, leaves and that's it. But
did they take the alien? Yeah, they take the alien, the two
aliens, I guess. And they were alive at the time when they took
them. I don't know. I think so they were. I mean they
I don't know. But my god. So this entire town, this of
Argenia, I don't know how many people. It's it's a big place.
It's like, what did they say in the documentary, It's like the seventh
best place to like work in Brazil, Like, yeah, to have So
this whole town is very aware of these aliens. There's like statues of aliens
around. Um. The guy just like making the documentary just held up a
sign on the freeway that was like, I'm investigating the alien crash. If
you know anything, tell me, And so everybody comes up to them and
tells them their story. Because it's only from nineteen ninety six, that's insane.
So all the people that experienced it are in the documentary. There's like
the x ray technician that did the X ray. He gives like an interview
with his face. Is it believable though? The fuck yeah it is.
I mean it's like, why didn't that story ever get out? Well,
I mean you can google it like it was. There was major news coverage
about it. They showed the little girls like when they were twelve, just
being interviewed by you know news, you know, reporters constantly. So it's
just like, how come I'd never Well, there's document there's a documentary.
Bob Blazar is this guy that's like this. He studies aliens UFOs, the
government. He does this whole like alien area sixty four fifty one sixty four
for everyone whatever, right down the street from each other. And it's no,
it's really. I watched it with my nephews in Chicago. They're very
much into it, Nicholas, that's all like he talks about that shit.
Ah and you know, got a little stoned and watched it with them.
That's the best. But no, but if you watch documentaries there there's like
there's like proof, you know, there's some documentations of this stuff. It's
just like if this didn't happen, and it was just this giant conspiracy that
this entire town in Brazil was in on but gained nothing from right, And
you know, there's like the military came in and had to quarantine off a
part of the city for a while, and they would be like the most
elaborate hoax that gain nobody anything ever, And it's hard to believe that like
this didn't happen when you see all the people in this town talking about it
and all the different experiences, and so many of them have you know,
they don't know each other, but they all are kind of saying the same
thing. Like the smell that the alien game off was just this like horrible
ammonia sulfur smell that would like stick in your nose for days. Like the
whole hospital where they took it to, they had to shut that whole wing
down for a while. The girls that walk through the thing, they said
that they smelled this smell. There's multiple people that describe the aircraft exactly the
same, different people. There's no pictures, no pictures of the aircraft.
There's no pictures of the aircraft. That would have been the first thing I've
done. So go get the polaroid camera, right, Why is nobody taking
their picture? Okay, So apparently the crash so that it's like this.
It kind of looks like a school bus, like a round school bus,
and it's kind of just floating in the sky or whatever, and then it
crashes. There's one guy nearby. He runs over to the thing, and
within a few minutes the military is already there and they tell him to get
beat it, get lost. Wow. So I mean, I don't he
didn't have like a polaroid camera on him, I get, you know what
I mean? Do we think the government is hiding all this? Like?
Why why would the government? If you watch these day, yeah, why
would they? What is in it for them to be like we won't show
you this air Where are they hiding this aircraft? Well? I don't.
I think the aircraft is in pieces or was. But I don't think the
government's just going to come out and be like, oh, yeah, this
story's real. Aliens are real. I mean, that would be like the
biggest news story that ever hit the entire world. I know, but what
I don't understand. What's in it for the government to be like people can't
know that? Well, it would drive I think the entire world would flip
upside down if we learned that they were actual aliens, Like and watching us
in the documentary. I watched that they were talking, the military was talking.
I think it was like one of the air Force bases in Florida that
Nixon came. They talked about how he came in the middle of the night,
he only had one he had like one driver with him, no bodyguards,
no, no secret service. Came on to the property. They took
him into an area where there was you know, it was it was you
know, you have to have special clearance to get in. And they show
like, you know, the different containers and stuff where they keep these things,
and I don't know. And then recently they in all over the news
or recently they show those you know, aircrafts that looked that you are identifiable.
I mean, the government released all or not all, but a lot
of like the UFO, you know, what they've been collecting over the years,
and they came back with a lot of like oh, this explains this,
and this explains that, but there's still a ton of them where they
just go, yeah, we can't explain this aerial phenomena, howe how this
moves and operates. Have you seen that video of the our military got that
they show the the aircraft moving in a weird direction, kind of hovering,
and then it takes off, it disappears. Well, it's like the pilots
or like F sixteen fighter pilot or something. I mean, it's it's not
like a nobody taking it's like the most advanced level of military. Maybe it's
a helicopter pilot and they're watching this thing on their radar and they're like baffled
by it, and they're going like, how is it moving like that?
What is that thing that's that shouldn't be doing it like that? And it's
yeah, that's probably the most well known, Like, yeah, that just
came out and they tried to hide it. Yeah, it's yard new career
studying unidentified flying objects alien culture. Yeah, why don't you do that,
Kaylin? I think there's a lot these days. Yeah, I should do
a whole this this week in alien segment on the show where I go research
what's happening. But I did just want to share this one thing. This
was a headline. This is a headline a week ago. Right, it's
from the Space Force chief of the US who says that the US is facing
a new era of threats beyond Earth. Interesting. Whoa, yeah, what
does that mean you're not talking about like an asteroid, right right? Yeah?
Yeah. I talked to my nephew about it. He goes on and
on and I he's just like a wealth of information. I mean because he
researches it and it's fascinating to him. Yeah, this is something we should
put Sonny onto. Yeah, I don't know unless it doesn't if it has
a basketball and then maybe Sonny's really into sports right now? Is yeah?
All right? Because aren't you going to the Lakers. Lakers and Warriors are
playing. Yeah, the Lakers and Warriors game this Saturday. Yeah. I
take Sonny to do his podcast on Wednesday's bench Warmers on iTunes and he does
his podcast and all the way home is all he talks about is the sports
and boxing event that's coming up. Yeah, that's a I had a bad
dream about Sunny last night. What it was horrible. I couldn't go back
to sleep because they went to Stagecoach over the weekend. Oh my god,
buried the league. Yeah yeah, they opened, Um happen what happened?
Um? They went, Well, I didn't go. They went with their
dad and they had a great time and then they came back. But I
was talking to Sonny when he got back, and then I went to bed,
and then I had a dream that Sonny came to my It seemed so
real, like he came to my condo because I was at the condo.
And then he gotten an uber to go back home. And then I was
trying to track him on my you know, you can track the uber on
the left, but my phone kept going dark. I'm trying to track him,
trying to track him, and then I called I called the driver.
I was able to call the driver, and the driver goes, I'm I'm
taking him somewhere you don't need him, and that was any hung up on
me, and I was like what And I couldn't track him, and he
was gone, and I was about to call like HP sheriffs, you know,
I was like, oh my god, what am I gonna do?
What am I racking? My phone kept going dark. I was like,
well, my phone's not working. How am I gonna can't even call the
police because and then I woke up. Oh my god, Yeah, that's
the worst. Yeah. Did you have that thing when you woke up where
you like, okay, okay, it was just or did you have the
wait? Was I dreaming, do I know where? It was? Very
I was very disoriented. But then I was like, oh my god,
think I was just a dream. I don't have to call it HB now,
Like like what do you do if all of a sudden that happens,
Like, I don't know, And I don't hate that feeling though, when
you feel like you need proof, Yeah, when you're like, well I'm
not right where Sunny is, Like then you have to go to find my
phone or whatever to yeah life through sixty yes, and they go, okay,
I know where he is. Yeah. It is really nice waking up
after a bad dream going okay, it was all just a dream. But
how fucking frustrating it is that things never work properly in your dreams and you're
like your phone keeps dying, Like that happens to me all the time.
Yeah, Like I'm dreaming that I'm trying to like post a podcast, and
like I can't get my computer to work properly, and you just like spend
so long trying to do this thing and you can never do it. I
wake up frustrated, yes, like oh it's a dream, but god damn
it, I know I know the thing never works yeah. Yeah, yeah,
my legs don't work. Sometimes in my dream I can't walk. Oh
that's a frequent one of mine. Can't move, can't move. Yeah.
Yeah, the kids went and uh, Natalia shared Life three sixty with me
because I can see them on my Find my Friends all the time, you
know, find my people on your iPhone. But then she shared Life three
sixty. I don't know why, but I was like, okay, good
and so I could see them like, you know, and I don't.
I haven't talked to them. They just got back like I really, I'm
I'm gonna talk to them tonight. So I haven't really heard too much how
it was, but apparently they had They want to go to college there.
Yeah, in a great time. I totally see myself in college here.
You're like, umm, it's kind of a festival. It's note Yeah,
that's where Natalia wants to go Indio, California. But they had fun.
Yeah, they had a great time. Yeah. Yeah, who were some
of the bands? Are they all country bands? They're country bands. Sonny's
not going to do it. It's a whole country thing, right, there's
nothing but country. It's teams right right, right. But Natalia likes so
I don't know the name of the country guy, but he was on EM
last week and Natalia went. Adam was able to take Natalia to meet the
guy and he was headlining at stagecoach oh m. So I don't know if
she got backstage to see it. I don't know if Adam got them in,
and who knows. It's so frustrating when the kids are this age.
When your kids were young, okay, it was like a double edged sword.
When the kids are young, you know every aspect of their life backwards
and forwards. There's no secrets, right, they're keeping secrets. That's troubling,
you know. Five, So you get this real sweet spot between like
five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten mm ten. They
start becoming a lot more of their own person where they have some thoughts and
ideas that differ from yours. Which then that's frustrating because you're like, m
right, I'm gonna need you to defer to me most shit for a while,
you know. But then they start having their own thoughts and like,
I think they're grown right, right, And then you start not always a
percent knowing what they're doing, because like you can track them, but let's
say they're out hanging out with their friends at eleven twelve. I was doing
some shady shit already at that age. Yeah, playing a little like sexual
games with like kids in the neighborhood, right, yeah, who's with me?
I'm like, you go, looking at feeling a penis. I was
like, this thing's kind of rough, touching it with a leaf. Like
there were things going on that I was not sharing with my parents right right
at all? Yeah, you know, playing doctor. I mean, I
don't know how old I was, but like I have vivid me, I
was probably kind of old, right twenty nine. I had a next door
neighbor who was a boy, and he was like my best friend. But
then we as we grew up, we started like, like you know,
playing around playing doctor. Hey, I kind of remember that my parents hated
his parents for some reason. Now, my dad liked them, my mom
didn't like them because I grew palm trees and their palm trees like drop leaves
all over. Right. They your mom really wouldn't have liked him if she
knew what you guys were up to, right right, But um, yeah,
but it wasn't like honestly, it wasn't any kind of It's different obviously
we're not talking about like any kind of molestation. We're talking about like kids
going like, oh, let me see your penis, you know, let
me rub it right, let me pull my rub it against me. I
mean, I'm telling you that's what we were doing. I am sorry,
but that is what I was doing in like some girl who lived across the
street from these garage. Yes, like we would play these games where there
was like a mattress there for some unknown reason. Yeah. Yeah, I
had a girl across the street too that we would go and play with Christina
I'll never forget. Yeah, we were like, you know, experimenting.
Yeah, and a lot of times it was like minute you get in there,
it's like pants off right right, Like that's what we were there for.
It wasn't. I mean, kids are dirty, they have a little
dirty mind. Yes, yes, I watched. I've been watching a lot
of I wanted to talk more about it on Friday. Okay, Well I'll
tell you on Friday about a documentary I watched about porn and kids. Oh
yeah, So I'm kind of glad that porn wasn't around when I was a
kid, because I would have been all over that and it would have probably
ruined me. I would not have understood, like, at least as you
and I have talked about many times. We could just read the porn and
then we used our imaginations, right, you know everybody likes kids to read.
Yeah. Yeah, we'll talk more about it on Friday. All right,
