Overthrew the yeah Hawaii, and then out west doesn't work. And then I
was down south for working to see the family. So Hawaii made it just
before the storm and time for the flooding here in Tornado. Bombo. Yes,
Hawaii is as west as you can get, isn't it? And then
you start turning back. I have a very interesting Google profile and it tracks
the phone. Yes, and I've got this racetrack triangled from Maine to Oklahoma
to Florida back up the East coast, and then I got this little teeny
tiny race track in Hawaii where I took off and flew just keep flying around.
Yeah, what's your life, I mean, what's what's what's Hawaiian is
very very expensive, but but yeah, it's beautiful, beautiful state. They
really took a hard hit, you know, with the pandemic, with a
lot of places closed. It was surprising to me. They were they're they're
pretty much out of it to the point where now they're they're waiting for the
next wave of whatever show up. So lots of stuff was open and everything,
and people are I mean, personality wise, they're people in Hawaii are
wonderful. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it is a really really nice place.
But it was a big change for me. Of course. The last
time I was there about fifteen sixteen years ago, and I did get to
go to all the favorite hunts, the International House of Pancakes, which is
great after a bit of a booze run. Oh yeah, the perfect hang

us like a little bit, what's what was happening in what respect them?
Mac? But what were you doing on Hawaii? Well, Hawaii, I
picked up a contract to to fly for a company, uh, providing uh,
simulated tactical air support for an exercise there. And in my venerable yet
simple little airplane, Uh, we were simulating being F fifteen flight of feens
in the morning or during the day and F eighteens in the evening. And
we were doing this for training for the Joint Terminal Air Controllers. Those are
the folks that call in the air strikes with the Army. So two goes
a day, taking off out of Hollolula International Airport and I'm sure many people
that were arriving in Paradise into parting Paradise were curious. White little gray airplane
with a little bumps all over. It was taxing out and getting in their
way and zipping around. Very fun part of the flying. It's great to
work with the troops and that's always very very rewarding, obviously. But every
day, choice a day, I would get to fly right by Fort Island
and right by the Arizona as came into land, So that was kind of
meat the sea every day, and that was a thoroughly enjoyable mission. That's
the lottest beer open I've ever heard there alway, Yeah, I know which
as well partying like I was away as in the sky. Well, when
you're as old as I am, um one one and I'll wear older,
I'll write I'll write this down so you'll know what you're you're you're facing when
you finally get to this age. I had to turn in pretty quickly to
sleep. Do you get ready to turn around the next day and do two
goals again? About eight hours a day in the air, and I have
to admit that, although I still like to keep up with the younger guys
and gals, um two flights a day, uh and hit and the hey
hey it's about right, yeah sounds wow. Well I had to salute you
because let's salute them. We haven't done that in a long time. So
let's just st count it down there, wineing, let's salute it for the
first time in London. Go ahead, count it downline okay, d not
bad, not bad, not bad after they've been most improved. Right,
okay, sorry, anyway, old hands, both hands look great? Both
um? Why do we do this? Why don't we do the top ten
lists? And um? See where that goes? Raven, how's that?
I'm all good with that. I have that pulled up right now. Actually,
let's go then, Top ten, go ahead, Top ten reasons Al's
honeybees are going on strike. Top ten reasons Al's honey bees are going on
strike. Al, we should just tell you know, the regular lists know
this, but Al has a you know, how many hives do you have?
I just keep a couple of couple okay, And there's there's millions of
bees. Okay, how many bees out of would you say? Ten thousand?
Yeah? They all wear little hats, so you know that from Al's
hive it's interesting. So and how much honey do you do you pull out
of every yel Let's say, well, and that's so very dependent on the
weather. And do you amount of rain for hours? Um? This year,
I probably pulled one hundred and twenty pounds out of both high you know,
combined from both hives in the spring. Ye, and then put the
honeysupers back on and you hope for another you know, harvest in September.
Yes, but unfortunately we had such a drought this summer. The base of
it, I got nothing. There was a twenty pounds at the mass you
get one hundred and twenty five pounds, the hundred, one hundred and twenty
pounds. And it's it's a bear, it's a project. But I'll tell
you a lot of people. Yeah, I've told me just off the you
know, that is the best honey they've ever had. It's uh, this
honey is amazing. Yeah, che kiss, it's so good. Yeah,
it's it's you know, raw unprocessed. If you would you buy in the
store, generally is been you know, pasteurized, it's been heated, and
when when you heat it, you kill off a lot of the good.
That's a lot of cloth and stuff around where we are, and that's and
that's in the maze. So we get a lot of the beach rose roses,
we get different trees. It's really weird because you get a list of
all the different trees and plants and when their pollen is is actually out in
the nectar. So what do you, uh, what do you pay these
ten thousand bees? Nothing? Right? Um, I pay them a good
amount of sugar water to feed them, feed them and fatten them up for
winter time. No one, are they going on strike? Okay? So
this is the yes ma, yes, No, I'm gonna hold because I
may spoil something on the ten I'm gonna hold start okay, all right,
all right, So this is the top ten reasons why Al's honey bees are
going on strike. Raven, all right, start the music. Number ten.
They're sick of getting second billing when kids are first told about sex.
There you okay, yeah, the birds and the bees. The birds went
on that one. Okay, nice? Please Number nine. Number nine.
They find it offensive when someone says, man, I got a real buzz
in my neighborhood of touchy. That's true. Next, please numb right.
Number ah. They have not received any personal likeness royalties from General Mills for
the honey Nut Cheerios cartoon character. It was supposed to divvy it up,
just like the casinos. If you know what I mean. Good? Next
please number seven. They're bummed out. I'll stopped serenading them with songs from
hell ar Chief. I can't even say it, never mind sing it the
sad clown next. Please right, that's good. We're sick, oh god?
Okay never six. Those freaking ants get everything. Freaking ants get you
know they do? Bairly no pop. Ten reasons why Uncle Al's honey bees.
They're going on strike? Please run right. Number five. Ever since
the funky monkey Afghan cush crop was harvested, things just aren't the same in
the high true. Okay, next please wow? Uh? Number four,
they're sick of all that smoke coming from X housept of talk about a smoker.
Three. Uh, they're sick of all those coked out wasps horning in
on their booty ass. Maybe say it again? Okay Um, they're thick
of all the those coked out wasps horning in on their booty ass. Bumblebee.
All kinds of stuff goes on in no neighborhood. Next, please rave
they miss one? One O, they miss one. I thought it's always
about the queen had nothing to do with No, you're no different, Go
ahead, please right? And the number one reason else honeybees are going on
strike. It's all about the drones, all right, okay? But yes,
please audible mentioning a little bit. Has the legal matter with the coma
and the hit bees and the problem that was going on they're ever been solved
or did that just get swept unto the carpet. I'm pleading the fifth,
I'm pleading the sixth. I hope that answers your question. So anyway,
when we calm down and uh take a commercial break, now, what I
think we should do is maybe give away at jarjah honey to some some lucky
listening right, and they'll find out that when I kild well, you know,
we could try doing it. I don't know. You know, when
you go to the post office, one of the things they ask you about
is like what's in there? And what do you tell them the truth?
Well, you know if if if the bottle gets broken, it doesn't make
the matter, or because honey gets everywhere, let me tell you those guys
are pit about nine. Okay, it's within the states. I think we're
okay. Like you know, I've sent like coffee and stuff, but I
think it's if it's outside of it. Don't make you don't make it as
a liquid cup of coffee, do you? And you've never done that?
Okay, I send coffee beans all the time. Oh no, I just
send the cup full. Oh okay, you can try it. You want
to try and send a cup of coffee all right now it is time too.
If you want to try it, I'm like, I'll do anybody wants
to try it. Okay, it's great, honey, I mean, no
one disputes that it's very good. That raffle, I'm getting hugy. Why
don't we take a commercial break now and regroup and we'll be right back after
this. And I think coming up is the Mac versus Coco, the Rumble
in the Jungle. Get ready to get ready for the review of Top Gun
two mad for we both watched it and we're man and right and we're going
to give our reviews right after this, so please stay tuned. We'll be

And I have actually seen this movie really number two? Yes? Oh
wow? It was free on epics, just trying to be free. Okay,
all right, I watched it. I'm not going to say a word.
Okay, all right, let's go to the rose among the fawns,
as she was described earlier in the show Raven. How you tonight, Hi,
my friends, I'm so good. Thanks for having me. Let me
see if I can describe what we look at here. You have a black
backdrop, you have a um, what do you call a stocking? Han
one? Okay, right, but still very it's a bit mysterious or film
the one because you're a pom pom on the hand. No, it's just
it's just a beanie. Okay, every fancy from like the waist up.
But I'm just wearing sweatpants and crocs really death, Well, some guys like
that. You know, crocs they're so goofy, the raven. I didn't
know that you'd be a croc person. I am. I am a croc
person. Yeah, i'd stand it, very comfortable and stuff. Yeah,
but you have to admit to your your even more vinal crime when it comes
to footwear. You're also a birken Stock person. Right, No, go
to photos. Everyone's asking the photos there. Okay, wow, huh didn't
I tell you don't wear them in Massachusetts because they don't allow them. I'm
pretty sure I wore them when I came to visit you like, Oh no,
no, I would have remembered that. No. Anyway, kicks off
the porch. It's okay, I buy Sue Doc Martins and stuff. You're
gonna admit that I like Doc Martins. Martins are so cute. Oh here
we go, all right, So anyway, yeah, they're the cats of
shoes. So now listen them. I introduced everybody, all right, I
think yeah, I think so okay, So tonight what we've done is that
um cochland I have both watched, not at the same time, but Top
Gun two Maverick okay, and just a little bit of background. It came
out just a few months ago. It is basically the sequel to a movie
that they made almost thirty five years ago called Top Gun that top five years
yes, and um oh well yeah and um uh you know, and it's
it's it's it's why don't we just get to the you know. I think
that's the background everyone needs, because I think Topkin is one of those movies
that everyone kind of knows, even though they might not be fans of,
like you know, law movies or whatever. If you're if you're under like
twenty five, you've probably seen the original. I think. I'm sorry.
If if you're under, you probably have only seen the new one. Now
I gotta do, you know, full disclosure. I owe a lot of
what I do and what I've been doing for thirty five years to Top Gun
because I started writing Wingman books, which were actual an adventure of fighter pilot
of books right when Top Gun came out, and Tom clans he came out,
and people were you know, before then, they had that thing called
the Vietnam Hangover. They didn't want to, you know, talk about the
military. But all of a sudden, topkn made fighter planes really sexy,
Thank God, because you know who I am anyway, So I owe a
lot to the flag school too. I wanted to go to that class.
Oh man, who to flight school? Yeah, okay, you think you
could do? Think you could pass top candled it? Yeah? What would
they call it? What would you call? Side be one one one?
Right? I guess I go with that. It's been nine you know,
it's got testosterone field. So let's taking it all in and just being cool.
That's just the rumbling the jungle on the thriller in Manila. Get ready
to get ready? Okay, why don't we just one very cool round of
applause, and I'm gonna throw it to Coco Coco top Gun two, Maverick
ding Ding round one. Well, first, Mac, you need to get
the name of the movie correct. You have said it incorrectly since the start
of the show. Rough Gun Maverick. There's no number in the movie at
all. So I just want to make sure that we get that set for
the body below. Very good, Cobra. Second point for Cobra. Anybody
who's interested in some of the things that I will mention in my little opening
here, contact Mac and I will send the links to Mac via email for
the show, and I get you set up and you can send it out
to the fans. Okay. So the reason I really enjoyed the movie is
because to me, it had to overcome some really major problems. And the
number one problem that I had is that the movie is a little bit past
its date. Thirty five years later really is a difficult thing to pull off.
And it's not difficult to pull off because Tom Cruise's age when he did
the movie, there was an active duty fight or filet in the Navy that
was fifty six turning fifty seven years old. But the span of time that
had occurred between the two movies really was a difficult task. And that's the
reason why I give it a very very big thumbs up, because they really
did an excellent job of capturing and correcting as best they possibly could to make
that work. So I was really really pleased with that. The fact that
he gets set off as the character and he's off doing the test work.
I thought was a really cool way to handle it. It has that whole
right stuff mad Monk squadron kind of thing that goes on there. He's doing
the fringy test. A lot of folks complained about the part with the dark
Star and when it broke up, and I'm gonna tell you this is one
of three, maybe two or three very classical references that the writers used in
the movie. Chuck Yeager pushed on the X one of the X one A
flights. He pushed past the test parameter and caused it to go out of
control, which led to a crash correction. He did get control of it,
was able to land the aircraft. There's a great video that has recently
come out about that. So Maverick doing that in that movie typifies and shows
that even though he has had retiring or being at an O six in the
Navy when everybody else has been made in April, is nothing to be ashamed
of it all. And they kind of make that point that everyone else has
passed him, but the work he was doing, but the fact that he's
still willing to push it past it just I thought was a really great tie
into the first movie, so they did a really good job there. I
thought they did an excellent job of pointing out something that I feel that many
of the officers that are flags just are not concerned about doing the mission and
are more concerned about something else other than the troops than the sailors or the
aircraft. So I thought that was wealth depicted, and I think it show
also showed that he wore them down a little bit with his ability to pull
off what he did during the course of the movie the mission. I kind
of think Mac was interesting that you made that remark and I told you about
this, and I know it kind of got you a little bit heated when
I brought this up to you off air. But I think some people lifted
some of your concepts from the Wingman series and some of the other books.
Because the mission, although it is not well defined, it's really well defined
for a movie audience that does not really need to have every detail. Where
the detail is extraordinary in this movie is the fact that the weapons parameters that
they show, the tactics that they show, and the initiative that is taught
and taught at Top Gun is very well portrait. It's very very accurate things
where if a system malfunctions, but the type of weapon that we're using for
that bomb delivery would have still gone to the target. It just wouldn't have
been as hyper accurate if the laserhead work. All those things were well done,
and then Navy did an extraordinary job of making sure that that was accurate
and well portraits. So I really really give them a thumbs up for doing
an excellent job. There is a great backstory. The Navy outfitted Navy airplanes.
Almost everything that you see with the FA team was flown. There's very
little CGI that was used in the movie. All those actors were in the
backseat of of it. I got to talk to two people that were set
a kind of unseen backup to and technicians. Very very well done, and
it's really a credit to Cruise because Tom Cruise does demand this kind of stuff.
He takes a lot of heat for his conduct, but he really put
a lot of effort into that. And he's on his own. He's a
pilot as well. That's his P fifty one that's shown in the movie.
That is his airplane that he has in that movie. Ye, so I
thought that was extremely well done. One of those things leading back to the
thirty thirty five years is what do you do about Goose? I thought bringing
the sun and was kind of an interesting way to do that, and they
found an actor that kind of looks like Goose, so I thought that had
the right emotional queue there. I really thought the ice band situation was very
well done. I thought that was actually better than I thought it was going
to go because I didn't imagine how they're going to make that work. In
val Kimer, I thought I did a hell of a good job considering with
his throat cancer situation, he was able to carry that off, and it
although it's a little bit heavy and a little bit drippy, it was acceptable
because it didn't run on for more than maybe, you know, ten to
fifteen minutes out of the movie right now. The part about stealing the Tomcat
another historical reference. Bob Hoover and Bruce Carr two World War eight. World
War two aviators pow shot down stole German airplanes and flew them out and came
back the world. Think that goes on in so it was kind of cool
that they did bring the tomcat back in YEP. I thought that was kind
of a nice thing to do the impossible mission. Everyone says to me,
come on, Cobra, how come they didn't use the F thirty five.
I'll tell you why they didn't use the F thirty five to begin with,
impossible To use it in the movie and make it work, that's number one.
Number two in real world, we don't have enough F thirty fives to
risk them yes on that mission. The way they had set that mission up.
Third thing is there's kind of a sinister element here, in my opinion,
what they were doing. I think they were showing that they were these
people, were expendable people that were making these orders and how these ridiculous timelines,
which again I think they're stealing from you, Mac or they're at least
borrowing becaus scenarios in your books where the timelines ridiculous and the people have to
break away the rest of the crowd, and they got to make it work.
And I thought that was exceptionally well done. So they take airplanes that
are not the mont and I'm sure this had to be tough for the Navy,
because the Navy's all in on getting their F thirty five seas, which
are tremendous airplanes yes, but real big bomb trucks like the F eighteen shows
in that movie does have its place, and it was film I thought was
well done. It was also a film, you know, four years ago,
and it was held up by the pandemic and stuff. But yeah,
it is absolutely And the F thirty five's coming on and you see thirty five's
on the flight deck when they're doing the scene. Right, yeah, right,
yes, all right? Should we should we ring the bell? No?
Not yet? A couple more points. Why if you're willing to put
up with me, go ahead. Ultimately, what I found, more than
anything else, you got me off my pace there. I thought the fact
that you have good tie ins to the original movie, you don't have viper.
So Iceman has to become the viper in this movie. He's sort of
like the guy who's going to keep Maverick on track. Yes, yes,
Maverick shows that he's really His anti authority kind of attitude really makes him one
of the worst people ever to go to Top Gun if you understand what top
guns. Yes, yes, you see that whole crowd in the latest generation.
There's a Maverick kind of guy in that movie, right who accept where
he has to be and he actually is. He has a key moment towards
the end of it, right right right. All the other folks that are
in there are top performers, but they all have a slightly different personality makeup,
and that I thought they did extremely well. And the fact that Tom
Cruise had to step back and actually be the mentor and the teacher on this
I thought was extremely well done. My biggest problems, more than anything else
with the movie is, as with the first movie, you don't have a
name to the enemy, and for someone like me, not having the identifiable
enemy is a little bit of a detraction for most people. I think that
it works out okay. And I think the montage for nostalgia. I mean,
I love Kenny Loggin's song, and I thought that was nice that they
had the opening and they had the carrier deck opening. Good good stuff.
But I thought that was a little bit too camped out to the original movie.
But overall, very minor hit. Would you I'll leave this with you,
Mac. There's two things that I need to close with. If you
like this movie or hated this movie, I want everyone to see Devotion,
which is a different movie, right different. One of the characters in that
movie now passed as well is a very good friend of mine. Uh and
John Hudner. I dearly loved him. And I think if anybody who loved
Top Gun Maverick, not Top Gun ten Maverick, the Top Gun Maverick movie
that I saw, will love devotion. Yes. The other part is Mac,
you can always be my wing man. Yes, yes, thank you.
Hey, there you go. Great punch line. Okay, let's get
him around the flash. Great he did, he did the best he could
cope. It took my breath away. Here we go mine. Okay,
you're hanging on too tight. The only way hanging on to tight. The
only way I could do this is just go top ten reasons. Mac just
like Top Gun too. Okay, what's the name of the movie, Top
Gun Maverick, Top Gun, Top Gun Colan Maverick, Colin. That's what
listen right. First of all, I just want to say, okay,
and I think, and I think you'll probably agree, is don't you think
I have some like actionable causes here against paramount? I mean, did you
really see because I saw telling you, I'm telling you if nothing else,
I think it would have been nice if they could have just said in the
credits is inspired by mac Maloney's work because there are just so many things.
But I've told you this. I find this all the time. Now.
I just finished a book where I swear someone read about and I know you
did not know this, but Operators and Lallos they actually had a shaman who
would come out and tell them not to fly today and to fly today and
when he and he was right all the time. Yeah, yeah, that's
neat. This guy in the jungle would just come out and say today he's
not a good day to fight, and they wouldn't fight, and they wouldn't
fly anywhe Is that they're more aboo? That's cool. Okay, So anyway,
all right, so let me get to the top ten list. Now,
I watched I got the movie about a month ago, and I watched
about a third of the way through it. I just couldn't do it.
I just couldn't watch. I just couldn't watch it because and I'll give the
reasons why. And then I watched it again. I watched it from beginning
to end, and that's where I came up with this top ten list.
Okay, now everyone's gonna hate me because you top ten when you haven't seen
the whole thing. I did see the whole thing the second time, the
first time, the first time, it first time the second time when I'm
preparing for this in training, I watched it first of all. And you
know, I went to film school right one one. Okay, so you
did, and you graduated with Suma Come Crazy or something. Yeah, film
school. Yeah, didn't you know that? Okay, I'll send you my
bio familiar. No, I'll send you my biob just a correspondence course and
my pig. Yeah, how do you know, brave? I was a
film editor. I'll tell you about that. That's another show. So anyway,
so what they do is they get everyone from the same like talent agency,
you know, the same act is the same direct to the same writers
and everything, and everyone just kind of like makes these cookie cut of movies,
right, and and there's it, which is okay if you have something
going for you, you know, and instead of like lots of CGI and
that's what this is. It's just like it's put together like by a committee,
if you know what I mean, you know, and there's a little
bit of this, a little bit of that, and and it's it's that's
okay. If, like I said, if you have something going, but
if you don't have something going, it's just like another movie, you know.
But anyway, that was number of number ten. Number nine music by
Lady Gaga, Music by Lady Gaga and Top Gun two. I mean,
as much as Raven Play, as much as I don't like Kenny Kenny Waggins,
you know danger Zone, that that song. You don't like Hey Rogers
either, But that's okay, So we're getting all the Kenny's on the listen
that that's it is by Kenny Waggins. Who is it by? Yeah?
So that that movie, the first movie and that song I'm Married Together Forever?
All right, that's right. Okay, I don't even remember them,
but I know the song even if they haven't seen the movie, right,
I don't know the music. I can't remember the music in this in this
movie, you know, it was just like you know, not even there.
Um, let's say you hang on. I'm trying to Jack and you
and I know that the music counts for everything. The music counts are a
lot of soundtrack stuff. It does. It's blend. I mean, that's
really important. Okay. Number eight they managed to make Jennifer connelly look and
on sexy and that's almost impossible, I can tell you, I really,
I rarely do I ever give a crap about a remark like that. And
I think for the age that she's sup close to play and the and the
and the tone down makeup, that woman has never looked better. I don't
know. I am telling you. I think they intentionally damn where you where
you coming from on that? I think they intentionally made her a look that
as pretty as Tom Cruise. You know, she's a She's a beautiful actress.
Anyone just go see if you think he doesn't stand up next to him,
I think he Well, she does, but that's not a big deal.
That's not a big deal. You know, she was in um,
what's it called, the you know one? One was in it? Um
A Beautiful Mind? Okay, she plays the wife in a Beautiful Mind,
and she's just beautiful in it. She's just you fall in love with her.
And because she has that, we're talking a difference of all what twenty
years between A Beautiful Mind and now she plays a mother. She plays Penny
from the original one. She's the admiral's daughter from the first Top Gun.
They had this on and off thing going. I mean, I think she
was absolutely stunning and I have to disagree. Sorry, let's see you'll love
this one then number seven. Okay, Tom Cruise is not an actor,
you know what I mean. He's not. He's a movie star star.
He's a movie star and he makes he makes very successful movies, obviously,
but he's not. He has like four expressions, you know, smiling and
looking, are we thinking? Deeply, kind of surprised, and that's it.
And he just keeps going over and over and over again. Okay,
can you think of anyone that could have carried this role off besides him?
If they do this movie? Yeah, I can think of a number of
people who would do it, you know, wh would be interested in doing
it? Um, if you took someone like um, I mean I atroyed
off the list. I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he takes
someone like mcguiva, the guy who used to play mcguy. Imagine mcguyve for
thirty years from now. You know, he'd be perfect for it, you
know that, like stuffs like that. See the thing with Tom Cruise and
what makes them successful? People go see his movies, but it's always Tom
Cruise. You know what I mean, he never really becomes. But you're
kind of right about that, Like you're going to watch Mission Impossible movies.
I kind of watching it's him. Let's see what kind of crap Tom Cruise
is going to have to do? Exactly what I was thinking. But then
he does. He does bangers like Vanilla Sky and it's crazy. Yes,
Okay, he did one really good movie called Minority had to have Tom Cruise
in this movie. There's there's no substitute. He did one movie called Minority
Report with that knock ahead Steven Spielberg, and that's a great movie. But
I don't know how they did it, but he kind of acts in that
movie. Spielberg. Well, I don't know, I don't know. I
guess you don't know if you have a hundred monkeys type and you're gonna have
a Shakespeare so right, anyway, I think it's the expression that okay,
hang on, here we go. So anyway, um uh number six,
Okay, here we go go go. Anyone who's seen the movie who can
disagree with me, There were three scenes in this movie that they should have
absolutely just caught up. Okay, you're reading the scene where they throw him
out of the bar, do you remember that scene like he does something he
can't pay for the drinks or something. They're ringing bells, everyone's crazy.
It's like a frat house or something choreographed, and they say, you know,
throw him over, boy, throw him out. They actually pick up
Tom Cruise and he's smiling and laughing and they can throw him on the bar
and they're yelling, literally yelling, throw him on the boy, but they
throw him in the sand. I mean, throw the guy in the water.
I mean, is it me? And then he gets something, walks
back into the bar. What the fool? He doesn't walk back into the
well. He goes up to the window and holds his face up against it,
like watches it, and he realizes that he is no longer part of
the in generation. Let's say number two, Um, this is a six
the football game on the beach. Anyone want to remark on that? Don't
you think it was how to do something from the volleyball? So he's gonna
say the volleyball scene, but don't have something because I had to show the
young guy who say had to show him short list and showed the bill.
Here's my notes. It was filmed true. I might like this movie.
It's filmed a very special way, in the same way San Francisco and the
Bravo Channel are very special. Yeah, anyway, number three, Now listen
the whole Gregory where's your peckating on that scene. I haven't seen the new
We're spoiling it for you. He goes on and on and on, We're
spoiling it now, number three of part three of number six. I'm sorry,
Cocoa, but I thought the whole Val Kilmer thing was like morbid.
Okay, the guy is did he diet? Is? He's still alive,
but he has throw Kims Okay, And I know Tom Cruise, you know,
went to Great Lanks to get him in the movie and he goes back
and they would kind of rivals in the original movie. Now that you know
close buddies, he's the admiral. He has to, you know, bless
anything Tom Cruise does. But he can't talk. I don't want to ruin
the movie. This is spoil what Bell Kimler can't talk anymore. So they
have this awkward conversation with Tom Cruise is talking and Bell Kimmers, you know,
typing on a on a screen, and it's like, really, you
really want to do that, I guess, so okay, so um let's
see. Okay, here's another thing, Coca ready, it's supposed to be
an aircraft carrier movie. They sold this thing with the shots of them on
the aircraft carrier doing this and doing that. They don't get on the aircraft
until one hundred one hour and twenty five minutes into the movie, right.
Everything else is the training and all this kind of stuff, which is fine,
okay, but you don't get on the aircraft carrier n til way into
the movie. And here, and this brings up the other controversy here is
that when they were filming on the Abraham Lincoln, they were there for a
long time, six weeks. And even though the Navy try to you know,
shine the apple on, and a lot of people on the boat,
through their different Twitter accounts and stuff like that, said Tom CUIs was an
a hole. They got you know, you know, they got orders before
he don't talk to Tom. Don't look Tom in the eye. If you
see Tom, don't look and all the end of the stuff. And they
kind of rule the rooster for six weeks. And if you watch the movie,
you can count on one hand how many shots or in the movie that
we're taken from an aircraft carrier. Everything else could be on a set somewhere,
So what was the what was the point to that? And he got
a lot of bad press from that, and he just should have thought it
out, you know, land on the aircraft carrier, have lunch with everybody.
Sorry, we're going to be in your way, we don't want to
be and stuff like that, and then go and do it. Why bee
a dick about it? You know what I mean there? Okay, mag
I completely agree with you that he should never have dissed the crew. And
in fact, I'm the one that was telling you about the stuff that I
was hearing that I was really disappointed with. It has nothing to do with
the movie. Yeah, but I can't like a movie if the guy,
if if the people involved the jerks. I'm sorry, that's me so all
right, Well, there's nothing wrong with that, I mean, I completely
I completely understand that. But you're asking me as a as a highly trained
and extremely well educated film maker, good to have the objective book here,
and I'm trying to tell me it's got nothing to do with the final product.
Number fell I missed something I can't watch usually gentlemen, I missed something
here that Tom Cruise offline. You're not going to train that mission on a
carrier, You're not going to continue. Well, I'm not saying that.
I'm saying that that that typical Hollywood that they say, Uh, you know,
we got to spend six sweets on the carrier and as I'm like twenty
seconds of the carrier and then go to the strike. Yeah, so yeah,
that's either here. The fact of the matter is is that from a
public relations point of view and a personally point of view, Tom Cruise doesn't
have a freaking clue how to handle something like this because these two I don't
know too much of a movie star or something like that. Yes, self
and I just you know, I can't watch mel Gibson either, you know,
from different reasons. Anyway, Okay, here we go. Where are
we? Yeah? I should have raven ring um number four. I ask
you a question. Go ahead. You said, Tom Cruise, just the
crew you mean offline? Uh, not a problem with how the movie was
going. No, when they when they before the before Tom and his entourage
and Lindon on the carrier, Abraham Lincoln, right, they gave orders to
the crew and they said, don't look at Tom, don't talk to Tom,
avoid Tom's eyes, that kind of stuff. Okay, he had his
own gods, he had his own room, and he had his own gods
outside, and that does just rub people the wrong way. And there's five
thousand people on the ship. And I went and looked at like all the
um, I don't know, Twitter messages whatever they were, and it was
like, wow, man, this is like really bad. Everyone hates this
guy because he he didn't hear the he didn't know my way, had his
own and the thing had his own food, food brought in and all that
ship. Yeah geez really so any yeah, yeah, so it isn't everything
to do with the movie, but that's kind of stupid anyway. So here's
the other thing too, is I don't like And I'm getting to the end
here, folks, you'll see, Um, I don't like how they how
they you know, just um fell back on the original story so many times.
That's like a quarter of the movie where they're you know, sean your
replays and flashbacks and people looking out into space and thinking deeply and stuff like
that. That's thirty five years ago, come up on a whole completely different
freaking story. Have the picture of Goose in your plane or something, you
know, here's my body and blah blah blah, and and then just go
in the whole movie, I mean two thirds of the movie is that it's
the training and it's you know, this kind of personal stuff between him and
Goose Junior, who's just happens to be in the h in the flight.
Okay, anyway, get into the end. Hang on. So too many
flashbacks, is what you're saying. Too many flashbacks, I mean flashbacks.
I mean they use actual's footage from the original movie and stuff, which is
just like what are you cheaping and out? Now? Um? Okay,
they don't really get into what top Gun is about. This is another thing
that bothers me. First of all, Top Gun isn't in Cndago. I
think it's up in foul in Nevad all right, klkom, Yes, it's
moved up to anybo okay as nol and so but this is all the other
water and stuff like that in the beach and I can kind of see that
because that's where the first one took place. But you have to explain to
the audience that what these people really do is I'll fight a pilot school out
there and they train against people who are flying airplanes that are most like Chinese
and Russian. Fight is in there. It's like the Hoighlem Globetrott is playing
the generals. You know, you need some aggressive squadrons and they shoot each
other with laser beams, and the movie it looks like everyone just goes up
and flies and they shooting each other really well, and I really show what
the hell are they doing. I got to put a small correction on that.
At Top Gun, you go there and you train on a continually building
syllabus to perfect your air to air and air to ground to strike skills.
Yes, so yes, there will be aggressors. There'll be other units that
will come in and they'll scrimmage. But what happened in this particular one is
that they pulled in all the Top Gun graduates, all the best of their
best graduates before this mission, which was basically a complete takeoff on Star Wars.
Yeah, we canyon run at the Death Stop number two. I've been
telling one to my list. Yes, but don't you think that they have
to at least show like the aggressive pilots That would be even cooler, the
aggressive pilots, these guys dressed up like Russians. Top gun is not top
gun above top it's top gun Maverick. Yeah, they're talking about this arc
of a journey of a guy who carries all this guilt from killing his back
seat or back thirty years ago, yes, to where he's at now.
Okay, And I guess I get that because I carry around my baggage for
things that went short and some people that didn't you know, didn't come,
didn't make it back Top three, Coco, Hang, all right, can
I'll be about a fifteen minute feature. You've already been in the movies there,
bro all right, here we go number two. You're ready. The
whole mission that they're up to, the whole mission they're up to, is
stupid and and this is this is why, and this is a case of
knowing too much about stuff, all right. And this is what they basically
stole for me. Basically, you got this uranium plant and iran it's obviously
in Ran, though they don't say Iran. And you fly as Colco say,
they have to fly down very low between the valleys, and it's just
like the Star Wars, exactly like Star wars, you know, and in
and out, and there's a lot of tension. They're going really fast.
A lot of CGI there and throughout the movie, and not as much as
I thought, but there's a lot of CGI in there, and it's too
quickly edited. The first movie, you kind of knew what they were doing,
and this one everything is moving really fast. But anyway, that's what
they do. And then they got to bomb this thing, pinpoint bomb this
thing with layers of sightings and stuff. And then they have to pull up
into a nine G climb to get up and over this mountain, which also
is covered with SAM missiles, and the whole places has enemy fighters flying around.
What you do is just send out the B two bomber, which costs
US all a billion dollars each. Right, they go over the place about
eight miles high. They dropped two bombs, and they land and having lunch
before anyone knows what happened. You don't send in am I Ray Coco or
not in the real world, no disagreement, And here's how I'm gonna and
not that I needed to be prepared for this because we didn't really talk about
our list. That's what they should have done. With beIN ludden, But
why didn't they do it's been ludden because they wanted proof and they wanted a
body to come out. Sometimes you want to do this. The other part
that you're waxing on and which surprises me just a tad. I completely agree
with you, Matt. Go ahead. You know this is this is a
B two, which is two billion dollars per copy. Just by the way,
to try for the taxpayers that are paying for me. Hell just passed
out, he's a taxpair. Yes, ye get that man a g suit
when you're put it back on the seat, please because we got more bad
news about money coming ahead. But you had to. They ran this element
to show. No one who was wearing stars should have allowed this mission to
go. They should have said, are you crazy? And I think that's
one of the really cool things about Yeah, but you know, you know
that, and I know that we're doing you know that, and I know
that. But but that's because we follow these things for the for the right.
But I also think a lot for this. This country understands it too.
The way we've walked out of Afghanistan, this has not all right.
Next, I'm gonna go to number one here we go. I'm gonna go
to the number one. We moved out to vast Afghanistan on an agreement the
former president made. I'm not talking about politics tonight. Okay, yea,
all right, here we go, Here we go, number one, number
one, number one. I'm just gonna cut it out. Number one.
Okay, here's the thing, and hang on, let me get to this
one. Okay, here's the punchhine. Number one. Ready, number one
reason Mac didn't like pop gum to him Maverick. Okay, there is no
number one, because here's the weird thing. After you get past the backstory
and the love interest and him sailing out in the boat and all this kind
of stuff, and they finally do the mission, it turns into a really
good movie. I know it's probably a shock to hear that, but it
really does. When they finally do the mission, all the stuff that you
know that happened before is just like shoe Lever, you know, when they
do the mission, there's an element to it where there's almost a sense of
human to it. Okay, there's almost a sense of human like, what
the f are we doing? Okay, this makes no sense. Everyone hates
us, okay, and no one gives us any kind of chance of pulling
the off. In fact, even the top guys, John Hamm doing his
Madman you know interestitation, it's nice to know you type stuff, you know,
um, and there's there's just something it changes the movie. And then
what happens, you know, with the bombing room and all that stuff that
happens. Okay, fine, what happens after that? I don't really want
to say, but I got to say, once they reintroduce the F fourteen,
I said, finally you got it, you got it. You want
him to stand why people are here at this movie because they love the old
movie. Don't give the story, they want to see him and an old
Tom Kat flying. I really thought that was a brilliant piece. And then
when they're fighting with those two doom Fighters or whatever, really really good.
When they're trying to communicate with the pilots and they're going, I don't know
what they f this guy is saying, you know, there was just something
about it, you know, So I gotta give it. I was gonna
give it a F minus, but I gotta say for the last third of
the movie, you know, it brings it up to I'm gonna say a
B. I'm gonna say a B. I would recommend people go see it.
Yeah, it's it's an exciting movie from We Gotta Skip, We ought
to skip, like the first three quarters of it. Yes, you just
see the last quarter. Yes, yeah, I agree, because that's when
everyone kind of gets your chance to do more than just you know, look
bad at each other and fight each other over with the pole table and playing
Jerry Lee Lewis, give me a freaking break. You know, don't rely
so much on the old movie because people don't know what the breaking old movie
is. Start the movie well, you know, make it more like a
way Man movie, women book basically everyone just you don't they go and do
it, you know what I mean? And then the next the Lady Gaga
stuff. I don't even know what Lady Gaga is in the movie. I
don't, I don't. I can't remember her singing. I don't know.
I don't know why how she's in it. She doesn't do the film score.
That's her show anyway, that's my Yeah, the Rumbleman Jungle, Let's
ste please sing all those all that production. Wow, Yes, go see
it. I'm gonna recommend going to see it. Well at least it wasn't
your Dog of the week. No, no, no, no, I'm
surprised, but anyway, it's not the greatest movie. Fast forward through the
first three, especially now that it's freak Please everybody see the movie Devotion.
See Devotion be a movie. Why don't we do this? Why don't we
take a muntion right now? Take a breath, regroup and when we're right

Right? What you've played music between? What years? Good? Uh?
We go back to them about the late sixties up to the early eighties.
Yeah, yeah, okay, that's what they call classic hits. Yes,
how many? How many? How many songs on the hit lift on the
playlist? Would you say, oh, there's a ton I mean there's there's
probably a thousand that get turned over, but then and then others that get
filtered in and out all. Yeah, a thousand, that's pretty good.
Yeah, eight hundred and a thousand. Yeah that's just not one hundred.
Yeah, that's really good. That's a selection. Yeah, but hits just
keep on coming. So it's a w X e X where we are in
Exeter with the original extra incident. Where else what else do you control?
We have two radio stations in Bangor, Maine. Yes, one is called
the Legends w g UY and one is called The Wave. The Wave,

well you're gonna get a letter from Cloco's attorney for the last one of
the Rumble of the Jungle. Okay, he's already dictating. Okay, the
scene thing didn't go over well, you know it probably two inside. Okay,
but anyway, you did a more frightened in the business. Yeah,
you made the mistake at Thomas that you went on the end of the ancestry
tea there my friend, please, um, you've you've done a scarier Yeah.
Yeah, we did a really kind of spooky one. Uh, not
all that long ago. Uh, to introduce Raven, which was the you
know, really the force behind it to be able to do something for Raven
as something special, Raven's new show. And yeah, it was all about
Raven's New Show, which was a lot of fun to produce. Walk your
doors, close your windows, and turn out all the lights because it's time
for Raven's Scary Movie. Hour explored the deep and dark depths of the most
frightening movies ever. Show is not for the faint of heart, So consider
yourself warm. Here's raving. This is Raven's new shows called Ravens Scary Movie
Out, which is going to be debuted sometime in the next few weeks.
And if the Mumper is any indication, it's going to be a pretty wild
show. Because I was here when you're putting it together and saw your master
we had doing, especially the screaming woman. I thought was really good putting
the echo when that was yeah, what it took to get her to screamlight?
That's another show. As I say, well, thank you Pete for
joining us. My pleasure, okay, pleasure always a pleasure. And anytime
you want to drop in on us, oh, thank you. Great to
see everybody Raven wants to clap for you again anytime there you go. I
really enjoy the fact that you were playing Kenny Loggin's danger Zone so often around
the Top Gun Maverick. Oh yeah, did you see Top Gun Maverick.
I'm most certainly sorry you give it a rating A through F. I'll give
it an A really Yeah, were you listening to I was? I was
into it, but I I was such a cobra and I've been talking about
it for three years so you know, it was like such a build up
to it. So yes, and you know that when I saw Tom Cruise,
I said, I know a guy just like that that. Uh no,
no, Cobra, oh I see. Okay, let's let me ask
you this. Did you know that Tom Cruise has a tooth in the middle
of his in the middle of his top teeth? You know, then if
you look at Tom Cruise, you know how everyone has a gapeas Yeah,
he has a tooth right in the middle of it. Really, and next
time you see him, look at it. And once you know it,
you can't unsee it, right, Okay, I spent half the movie looking
for Yes, it's good for It's good for a billion bucks if you make
the right movie. So I'm going to the dead just to get my teeth,
right, yeah, yeah, sure, yeah the stunt double right.
I gotta tell you a couple other things too in the movie. You know,
Tom Cruise has to run in every one of his movies. You know
that does a lot of running. Yeah, he does his own running too.
He does his own ready, and he's running in the snow covered forest,
which looks pretty funny. And then at some point I said, I
want to ruin everything. But but he meets someone else in the snow covered
forest, and this person is taller than him. But if you look at
the conversation, I went back and forth for a little while, the guy
is taller from and then he slowly unless he's melting on the ice, he's
slowly sleeping to palm cruises height, which is like five to three. That's
something, right, he's actually five to seven. I looked it up while
we were really chatting. And he's also a cancer because I had to know
his really sign. I mean, god, we're the worse. You know,
he's a he's a widow. He's an unrelatable weirdo guy. I mean
when he jumped around on rope his couch, Who the F does that?
I know? And I just actually watched him in another classic the other night,
the one with Jack Nicholson. Can't Handle the Truth. Yeah, handle
the truth? M yeah, yeah. I hadn't watched that in a couple
of years. Minority Report. He's in My Minority Report, directed by Steven
Spielberg. It's a great movie. And then everything else he's done. He's
a movie star. He's a movie stage not an actor. You know,
he's but he makes a lot of money, so he must be doing something
right. Yeah, speedwell, making a lot of money. Let's clap Pete
off A yeah, yeah, thank you, thank you a pleasure. Thank
you, Pete. Thanks for having me. We'll see you every song,
okay, Pete file Cooney, owner of the vast Falconi Entertainment Empire. We
record here at w x E X here and exter have a lot of fun
here, as it turns out. So where will will we? Real quick?
You know what I find interesting? He said? This is a classic
station and they played from the late seventies onto the early nineties. So I'm
looking at sixty seventies and I'm saying, at that point it's past my yeah,
expiration point. Yeah exactly. It's like, Wow, I'm older than
I thought. You've heard all the songs before, and they're all they're all
the songs you want to hear. A. Yeah, that's great. I
mean, I love them, but you know, I you know, I'm
getting old. I guess you said it, not us. So anyway,
when we've been mac you remember when the station when he was a new report.
Yes, um, they were playing you know, Dean Martin, Frank
Sinatra and that stuff. Yep, yeah, it hits the fifth demographic got
passed on, so you couldn't really sell a lot of advertising to them,
right you know? Yeah they move up the generation on books. You know,
every ten years they got a Tony up one. So yeah yeah,
yep, yeah, interesting place here anyone who's ever taught it? And I'm
interesting how the business works here? Um A lot of it is um automated.
But anyway, he's been great then less so now now before we get
introductor Bob talking to us about Myla rubber and how you know, intersex with
the Roswell incidental whatever Raven show you as switched the big question? Yeah,
I think it's really burning on everyone's mind. Go to switch Switchy, you're
ready, I'm ready, Okay, all right? Does he look a little
chubby which might mean that he had a full of breakfast this morning or something.
I don't know. I didn't want to. I don't want to be
the guy from himself. I'm the guy Oka, I'm sorry, switch please,
the entire earth wants and all he's gone. I'm thinking that was just
really good timing that he was back with Honey, Switchy, what did you
hear he's back, switch, what what did you have for breakfast this morning?
I'm gonna guess just by looking at him, I'm gonna say he stayed
in today today, this morning. Switch please, I went up this morning.
Oh okay, all right, no betting tonight, go ahead? What
did you say? You want to just help the streak to tutors Biscuit World
Biscuits? Yes, I had I had the Country breakfast go ahead with two
eggs over easy, white toast, bacon and home front yes, and hot
black hawk. Wow, okay, all about the bacon. I would eat
that up. That sounds scrumptious. Bacon. Hey hey, hey, wow,
Hey, don't don't go there. That was innocent. I'm gonna bacon.
I used to have that bubble stick. Listen, I'm gonna guess that
class you about three three dollars and eighty cents down that would hold. No,
it was about double that. Let six wasn't very expensive. So listen.
So did you have the biscuits with the gravy that the white gravy that
of Confederacy? I don't know. I didn't didn't have any any biscuits and
gravy. Oh wow, okay, all right, but you had biscuit world.
What's that's like being too You can't you can't have biscuits and gravy all
the time. That's why it becomes kind of That's why he's looking a little
every other day, because biscuits and gravy should never become routine or blaise.
That's true. Okay, Wow, we should frame that. That's what that
little kid did in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. He had
too many Turkish lights, and you know, he couldn't couldn't have handle anymore,
couldn't fit through too much of a good thing, so he couldn't fit
through the wardrobe anymore. Oh he could. That was That was fine.
But yeah, I know a lot of drugs involved with that story in that
movie. That was a cool story. So anyway, had a wardrobe that
looked a lot like that. We kept opening it up for the kids and
still the wardrobe something putting them in there for them out again. Yeah right,
I was gonna say, how why they stay in there? How long
did they have to there? Let's address the elephant in the room, okay,
because we have a lot of British listeners and we should say that.
This week, Prince Harry, who, as far as we know, doesn't
have seventy two sticky Teddy bears lined up in his bedroom. He's a little
more intimate than that, really, just you know, told everyone the dirty
laundry and more. I mean that's seem three interviews with this guy. It's
not all dirty. It's behind the scene stuff that you would not believe is
going on. And I don't know why it's going on. But I feel
bad for this guy. I feel bad that that that he feels that he's
come to it because he's a he's an interesting guy and he's not some dumb
royal guy. Man. This guy knows his stuff. He's an Apache helicopter
pilot. He's going to have something on the ball. But to be in
a position where he has one aliban killed, yeah, but he has no
money. That's how they punish you know, everybody. You know they have
family members, is they cut them off from this royal tea excuse me?
And he has to go out and looked for I guess other forms of money,
money that he's been accustomed to. Look the feeling, well, he
chose, he chose that path to begin with. But you know, I
don't have his book. Yet I do want to maybe try and get a
copy of Waterston's down here. The stuff he's talks about his mother complimentary in
a lot of ways, but you know, he's got he's got some issues
there, And it did a lot of it goes back to how he was
treated when he wanted to gets a little bit more information on how the hell
she Princess Dad died. He didn't think that she was really dead for like
ten years. He thought that she had faked it just to get away from
everything. Yes, and he was waiting for her to walk in the door
every day. He talks about it, and and then he's not psing you.
This is what a little kid thought, you know. And then he
ends up by saying the last thing she saw in her wife was a flashball
going off. You know. It's like, what's the point of all this?
It's it's um And then I was said, on all ends, it
really isn't. So anyway, what made me think about it was he talks
about Cammilla. Now, Camilla is his stepmother. Okay, she took Diane's
place in a way, right yet there, well she was still there.
Well, once again, I don't think there was a three way going on
there. You know, I'd work it down at Bristol Recording Studios right one
one, you know that. And there was a guy there who used to
work that he was he was a filmmaker and he was British and Cammilla was
his aunt. Okay really, and when Cammilla was a teenager, she was
his aunt and she used to babysit him and his brother. And what she
used to do is you reminded me of a She used to lock them in
a wardrobe and just keep them in there for like two or three hours,
and then, you know, don't tell your parents, and then let them
out. She sounds great. She's the worst man. She's she's just born
to be a social climber, and somehow she gets as close as you can
get to the Queen of Ingdom. That's just tells you how screwed up things
are. I think they should just take that whole. I felt bad because
he is so into it that it means something. It doesn't mean anything in
my eyes. I don't know too passionate. I think Harry generally is trying
to patch things up. But this book All the Tabloids Newspapers, which is
about every newspapers at the London Times is a tabloid newspaper here, Yes,
and they've just the headlines are really all, you know, totally negative.
And yes, well what he said about Camilla, you think his father,
no, he's done, is ever going to talk to him again. No
one with the queen gone. He really tore into her, Yeah, into
his brother big time. It's yeah, that's what I mean. It's like
that. You really you'll never get in that door again. You remember the
one that left there during the war he married an American. Yeah, you
know, when they threw him, that was it. Now, this kid,
I can't see them ever taking him back after what they quoted things that
he's talking about in that book. Ye oh, particularly as father, you
know that, as you know, that's probably the most dysfunctional family in the
world. Yes, that's what you get when two cousins married, you know.
Oh sometimes yes, right, yes, yes, true, it's a
very dysfunctional family. There's a lot of money rolling around, but there's also
this kind of these rules that they have to live by. And if you're
not you know, if you're not one of them, it's not going to
be easy on you. You know what I mean, I hate to say
it when I'm gonna bran up a lot, but you know when when they
had when these two had their first kid, okay because she's by racial,
they had pictures of him, you know, walking out of the hospital with
a monkey. I mean, you know, who wouldn't be mad at the
press for something that? You know? I mean, you really got to
go to that in acclording to Harry if you want to listen to him.
And I think he's burying his soul on everything, So why not this all
that information is filtered from this section of bucking him palace that wants to keep
the status quo. And you know, they don't want an American woman in
there. They don't want an American by racial woman in there, that's for
sure. But you know, now now they're there, Now, what do
you wanna do? The Queen is dead, you know, the King he's
a he's a you know, a fog. I don't know. Well,
he seems like he's doing okay, yeah, no, No, he's staying
out of the headlines. That's you know, as best as he can anyway.
So for all British listeners, are any of them who are left here?
I kind of support the guy right now, So I suppoint him too,
because he seems like a nice guy. He seems like a good guy.
You know, he seems like he's every sincere of what he's saying.
But it's just like so awkward to talk about stuff so in depth in the
fifth open. Yeah, I mean he's got he's got a couple of actes
to grind, and he's grinding them, so you know, hey, yeah,
And I mean the thing is too, is like he didn't ask for
this, you know, this is what he was born in, born into,
not really like he had a ton of choices because you know, again,
if you leave, that's a whole other thing. Yeah, you cut
off your family. You've got to play your part in this whole kind of
play that they have, you know. But I mean, let's feels like
a lose situation. But I don't know, I mean, you know what
you're getting into. But anyway, and it's just kind of it's weird,
especially to the kind of American mind. But let me, I'm gonna throw
one more question a cloak about this. They don't get come off the subject.
So both of those kids, Prince William and Prince Harry we're in the
military, and both of them were helicopter pilots, both of them saw combat.
Do you think that was cal you think that was on the level?
I would love to think that that really happened with those guys, But don't
you think the last thing they wanted is wanted them to die over there?
Well, with William, since he was the first air I'm sure it was
much more controlled the situation than he was in until he married and had an
air that's generally, I think a very precautionary part of it. In the
case of Harry, I'm a little bit more familiar with his career and he
definitely like to lean into the situation. Everyone that I've met, and I've
met a few folks that were pretty close to his units, had nothing but
praised to say about He was very genuine. He was really into what he
was doing when he was wearing the uniform. And of course there's a higher
risk since he is the second in the end line um, and that's not
uncommon with with royals. You look back at um Queen Elizabeth and her husband.
Her husband was a true naval combat officer. He in some pretty tight
spots during World War Two, so that tradition it remains pretty high. But
it's not the fake. Yeah, it's not the fake it because if they
did fake it, you would hear about it. You never hear anything about
them faking it. Very careful how they do it. No, obviously that
they're One of the reasons they keep that they went towards helicopters and they didn't
have them fl fighters is because having the multi crew aircraft allows to have a
certain level of protection. You know that for that so ye, but I
don't diminish anybody who puts on the uniform and actually does the training business.
And something they were they were award, it was passed out. I don't
think that there was much chance of them failing. Yes, probably they were,
but they did you know, they got handed the mail bag and they
could carry them out. There's there's a third prince, Prince Edward, who
made it in Samhurst see interist for like exactly four hours one morning, and
then he went to go home. He didn't he didn't mesh well with the
programs. Sandhurst is like the British West Plaint even tougher. Anyway, all
right, let's switch over from the crumpets to our guest if he's still awake
like the bow, you don't, let's get Bob a run of applause,
thank you? Not yet at all? So how are you tonight, did
doctor Bob? Oh? I'm hanging in there, pretty excited about some of
the research I ran across recently. Okay, And and what is it?
Is it have to do with myla because that was the thing that caught my
eye in your email. Yes, And actually when we were talking about a
project that we might work on down the road ahead, and I started doing
some research and I ran into some things that I really didn't expect to run
into that I had been, you know, dancing with for a few years.
Sounds like I said after the show, but go ahead, yeah,
well yeah, the uh, the whole thing was I was talking earlier.
We talked about remember Cheech and Chong back in the seventies, that comedy duo.
Yes, I have a foggy memory. Then I'm go ahead. And
they had a sketch one time that was called Sister uh Mary Elephant. I
think it was. Oh, yes, I had the third grade go ahead
please, yeah, yes, And in that in that sketch was another nun.
Her name was sister Rosetta stone. Okay, sounds let's remember her sister.
Eh. Basically I was thinking that because when I think I ran into
when I was doing my research, is like the Rosetta stone of base basically
possibly the whole UFO phenomena phenomenon ahead. So and what it caught my attention
and just accidentally have picked up on it was the whole key to the let's
cut UAP phenomenon seems to be miler. We call miler rubber. It's a
rubber substance made made substance that goes on balloons. Right. Well, it's
actually a it's a plastic Okay, it's a it's a type of plastic that
has been usually coded. It's a plastic that's coated with metal. Okay,
eventually it's coated with metal. Yes. And it was invented way back in
nineteen forty one. It's technically called paul ethylene terifflate or PET. It's a
type of film okay, Yes, And it was invented back at nineteen forty
one, and it was they started making things like balloons with it. Then
jumping ahead of nineteen forty five, that's when World War Two ended and It
ended with two atomic bombs being dropped on Japan. Yes, and Japan and
other countries we're still trying to perfect. There are atomic bombs. And the
United States was concerned about that. And in nineteen forty five there was a
doctor Maurice Ewig. He described how sound waves they thought, you know,
we're traveling in the upper atmosphere and the sound waves they were needed to get
balloons go high up in there to see who was exploding the atomic bombs.
Yes, and that's how they started actually around nineteen forty six, and they
started experimenting with that, right, they started They started with the balloons over
the Soviet Union with audio devices on them to see if they could pick up,
you know, the sound waves of nuclear explosions going off. Yeah,
they could just send those balloons up and hopefully they'd find this channel and then
make it with the microphones on it, and then they could hear who was
exploding those sounds right, yes, those bombs sounds right so now, but
they were these balloons were released in the same kind of geographical areas Roswell right,
Yes, it was. They released in New Mexico and they started actually
back in around nineteen forty six, there was a contract that was put together
with NYU New York University in the Air Material Command to create these high altitude
constant level balloons. They were experimenting with all types of materials for the balloons
as well as shrouds for the balloons encodings, and that was back as far
as nineteen forty six. But one of the things that contract also had in
it is that those balloons had to be trackable. They had to figure out
a way that they would be trackable. And in my opinion at least that
contract between New York University and Watson Laboratories of the Air Material Command was possibly
one of the first military industry military industrial complex. Yes, yes, yes,
with the business and the military in schools all being in the together colleges
gad so that that's what's what started to strike me. So some of that
was some of them was my line somehow found in the you know, the
devres of Roswell. That's basically what they found. That's that's what I started
looking at, was that that actually the material the trademark miler didn't come about
until nineteen fifty one, but there were in the forties, like in the
forty six, forty seven and so forth. They were experimenting with basically pauly
ethylene balloons, and they were experimenting with coding them back then with aluminum.
Okay, So so let me ask you this though. Okay, So if
if we have the evidence we have is that these balloons, this this program
to line these balloons was you know, ongoing. Number two they would launch
them in New Mexico. Number three they had my lack coatings on them.
Number four in the Roswell debris, they found my law. So therefore,
how could it have been a UFO. Well, that's what I'm saying now.
Even now, when I started back up my research, I went further
back than Roswell, and that's when I started finding traces of the use of
my lad no one even thought of. Okay, but okay, but it
would not be on an alien spaceship, No, not at all. It
was it was something. Now they were keeping it secret because Project Mogul that
was going on at that time, right, and uh they you know the
balloons were being invented back by in nineteen forty six, yes, and you
know Roswell doesn't happen until forty seven. Yes, But if you take a
look at um. Okay, let's take a look at the material they were
using the pet balloons to polyethylene PA. Yes, yes, okay, that
they were a plastic and they were very they were disc like, yes,
yes, and they were shining and they were had a low profile when they
were didn't have any air in them. They were basically when they were not
inflated that they looked like shiny discs. Wow. Interesting, huh is that
right? And then when, uh, when what was this? Kenneth Arnolder
remember Kenneth Yes, ye saw the first kind of flying sauces of the Washington
right around this time. Go ahead, yeah, he saw that June nineteen
forty seven, right now when I looked at the original records and what he
saw? What plane he saw? Yes, were things that were convex,
Yes, right, and they were they were he said they were. They
looked like they were skippy, and he said they were. It looked it
originally they looked like they were discs and they were. Uh, there were
like nine of them lined up in a row and moving as each moved.
That's the other thing, you know, one would turn on the others would
turn They're moving like in a chain. Yes, And that's how they were
experimenting with the early balloon how the Army and so forth with Project Mogul.
They were using solo balloons, they were using clusters of balloons really, and
they were using balloon trains. Okay, I believe I believed Donold. I
didn't. I didn't think anything happened to Roswell. But let me you know,
you know, that's that's interesting. There was There's never been any kind
of like real explanation for what happened Kenneth Donold. And the strange things is
when he landed and word got out about what he saw, and he was
a pretty knowledgeable pilot, he said to the press, they look like sauces
skipping across the ocean. What they really looked like was batterings, which we
were talking about the last show. But the press picked up on the sauca
thing, and all of a sudden, you opposed became flying and sauces.
But before we get to the end of the segment, he had doctor Bob,
don't you say, don't you think in your estimation that if man made
stuff is found at the Rosebook crash site, then it couldn't have been an
alien manufacturer, right, correct, I mean there wasn't in my opinion at
least then when I and again I spent time in Roswell, and I lived
in New Mexico and so Worth, there was nothing alien or you know,
extra terrestrial intelligent control about what happened either with Kenneth Arnold or in Roswell.
Interesting, but something is and there's more evidence that goes you know, and
this is this is like a miler like product that they're experimenting with. They
needed to have it to have a successful space right, Yes, I could
see that, But I gotta tell you this before we come up to a
commercial. I gotta tell you this is in between when when Donold saw his,
when Donald saw his you know, flying sauces, and what happened in
Roswells just a few weeks later. In between there like thousands of people saw
I had hundreds and hundreds of ufwall sightings, clients, house of sidings across
the United States, and they continue to say, so something, something is
happening, Okay, Roswell. I always just never thought anything happened there because
it really just was re reincundated in the eighties by a bunch of people.
We might be talking about in later shows, but there wasn't a whole lot
of real evidence to that. Where there are there are UFO sightings that have
lots of evidence and not you know, any trace of mile or whatever.

Yes, did you hear that? Uncle l Yeah, Okay, I have
no idea. Okay, I thought it was just me. That was well,
I heard it. I thought I thought we were getting busted. Anyway,
I want to throw this to Switch because he has an interesting story tonight
about a crash in nineteen twenties and has kind of like a man in black
element to Switching. Yes, this came from now we all know John Keel
when he wrote the he wrote the Moth Band Prophecies. He spent a good
part of nineteen sixty six. In nineteen sixty seven in West Virginia. Well,
while he was there, he met a retired reporter named mister John Cole.
He was a retired newsman from West Virginia from some time back. Well.
He told John Keel a story of something that happened in nineteen twenty four.
There was a local farmer that saw some kind of a strange he called
it an airplane looked like it went down in the woods not too far away.
In fact, this took place in Braxton County. Braxton County is the
that was the home of the Flatwoods Monster from nineteen fifty two. Interesting that
another strange event happened in the same area. Well excuse me. Uh.
So they got together the sheriff coal and some other people. They got kind
of a search team together to try and find out where this plane went down
a very unusual site in West Virginia in nineteen twenty four. And so they
eventually they found it. This uh sort of it was. It looked like
a kind of like a plane without propellers, without wings or whatever, very
strange looking, and it had come down to this clearing and when they approached
there were several there about half a dozen men there and looked very strange because
they were all in u in black suits with black ties, and but there
were also several others in uh in coveralls, kind of a shiny reflective coverall.
Now they're all there, all kind of short, about five feet tall.
They looked like they might be Asian. And in fact, one of
a lot of these guys had taken guns with them. And one guy kind
of went off the beam and thought, oh my god, these are spies
and he raised his gun up. Well, fortunately the sheriff calmed him down
and they talked to when when they first approached they could hear these people talking
and kind of a like a rapid fire foreign language. They couldn't make hnser
tails of him. Well, one of the men did speak English, and
he said that the craft had come down, nobody's hurt, and they're they're
making repairs and they will give a report to the sheriff later on. Well
that was that nobody was hurt, no laws were broken, so they left
and then the coal saw something laying on the ground, apparently part of the
craft, some small little He just called it a thing of a jig.
We don't know what it was, but for some reason he said he put
it in his pocket and didn't turn it over to the in quotes foreigners.
So that night he goes home, and of course there never was any follow
up report to this crash, and they couldn't really make head or tails as
to why, how how this team could even fly, But at about three
in the morning. Now he lived in Weston, which isn't too far away.
He was awakened by a loud knocking on the door, and he got
up and there was a man standing there. He had kind of a uniform
on. I'm gonna tear a uniform, the old style with the wide brimm
head. And he said, very grugfully, you've got something that belongs to
us. And he's kind of half asleep and be fuddled in the woods,
and you think, oh, he must be that thing of a jiggy picked
up. So we went and got it out of his coat pocket. The
guy took it without a word and walked off. He didn't have a horse
there, he didn't have a car or whatever. He couldn't figure out how
they knew he had taken it or how they found him. What, what
did look like? What the thinking of Jake, I mean he did Unfortunately
there's no description at all. I would love to know what this thing looked
like. But uh so, anyway, they went back and the craft was
gone. There was nothing in the clearing and uh uh so they just had
no explanation now they and when they first approached the uh, the the guys
and coveralls, they kind they were surprised to see anybody coming toward them.
And they and those guys went into looked like they were trying to hide inside
the craft. Uh so uh Now Keil also talks about some other incidents.
Um uh of course again you know the uh the the reaction was, oh
my god, spies and of course they were spies. There was something else
now, um uh so they anyway, they left without a word. Now,
Keel also got a letter from a man in Oregon from the nineteen thirties.
It's very similar. Incidant, strange playing, crashes of vocals, collected
fragments from this thing. Then the US Army comes and confiscates the pieces.
This is a pattern to keep showing up time and time again up until now.
What's that you know? Up until recently too, same thing, you
know, you hear that same story. You know, well, there's another.
In eighteen eighty Gillisto Junction, New Mexico, south of Santa Fe,
March twenty sixth, eighteen eighty four, men see this sort of a fish
shape. They called it a fish shape balloon going overhead, you know,
shades of the airship mystery again and with about eight or ten figures. I
could see it in the distance and a vase something falls from it. It's
the ground and this vase has these strange hiberoglyphics on it. So they took
it to the local general store to show, to prove that they had found
this weird artifact. Then not too long afterwards, a mysterious collector shows up
and purchases it, and it's gone. He'll also talks about a he calls
him a feisty Ohio farmer. He said a strange object landed in his field
in nineteen sixty six and it was a circular glowing craft. Nothing unusual there.
And the next day an Air Force officer in a black limo showed up
and looking again kind of Asian, and he told him that he didn't even
report this event. He told him that he should not be talking about this
incident to anybody. So what reminded me of is Jacques Ballet always talked about
how the phenomena seems in the gate itself. So you have an incident,
you have something where there perhaps there's something tangible, something you can put your
hands on, and then it's just like in Fairyland. You know, you
can't get those treasures out of Ferryland. They disappear or you get caught trying
to get them out. It's like Betty and Barney Hill. Wouldn't let Betty
Hill have that book that she wanted to prove what had happened to them aboard
the craft. At the last minute they said, I'm sorry, you can't
have the book. You know, it's just can't. I'm sorry, I
can't get those treasures out of Fairyland. You can't get that proof of whatever
this is the others amongst us extraterrestrial contact or what have you. It just
occurs me. Isn't Betty and Barney aren't they the characters in the Flintstones?
Yeah? Then David's right, Betty and body Rubble. Yeah, okay,
all right, I just want to make sure. That's just kind of interesting.
So I always thought my vitamins were the Hills. Any wow, switchy,
that's good. Anything anything to add, No, that's that just that's
interesting. Patterns keep showing up, how how elusive the phenomena is. Yet
time after time, people in different different parts of the globe, time periods
are experiencing the same general Yeah, they see it like the same script,
you know, played out in a way. You know. Yeah, that's
very strange. Thank you. Switchy. Let's give switch around of applause for
that segment. But also he hasn't mentioned his cats once the show. Okay,
I'm sure that, so listen, thank you everyone for participating in the
show tonight. First of all, I want to say thank you to Coco.
Let's give him a round of applause too, because he didn't show his
cadet. He didn't show Zeppelin. Yeah, nothing for partaking and the Rumbleman
the Jungle. I think that we both you know, at the end of
Too Long Road said go and see the movie. It's it's an entertaining movie
on the show. Yeah, the real credit is you had that technical filmmaker's
viewpoint, and I think you're really killed it explaining how you gonna you know,
how you pulled it apart all the problems you had with I looked at
it from the pilot, especially military pilot, especially the things that drive me
nuts hit it. But I gotta tell you, I think someone deserves a
little credit to the in the movie because I think people were inspired by the
Wingman series. At the middle, Well, someone, there's a lot of
things in there that are that are similar. But then there's a lot of
action adventure books out there. But but there's a lot of things in there.
I think that maybe the read a lot of that I picked up on
and I kept saying it was a little bit of a shlf. In fact,
I told you, and then you told me how you hated it.
I didn't say that. I didn't. No way you want to be associated
with it anyway. No, no, that wasn't it at all. I
can't clean I think somebody like that. I think that you know, they
lifted some some stucker they were inspired by he goes. I absolutely hated that.
I can't believe you like me, and that's what started and we are
You're like, hey, I think they low keep plagiarized. Oh no,
no, no, no, no no. I think the film school perspective
is always important. Well, it's you know, how the sausage is made,
and it recks a lot of things, frankly to day of the truth.
Yea, we were talking on here off here, me and you one
when I'm write about what perfect movies and stuff, and it's there's no perfect
movie. People say I have perfect movies, but there's no perfect movie.
But there are movies that are going to entertain you and not confuse you from
beginning to end, and and make you go to another place. And you
know, and it's and and you know, there's a lot of crap out
there that doesn't make you go to a place or a place you want to
go to. Anyway, has Hollywood calling me, Now, I'm going to
sign a big contract and I will take over the show. Okay, So
I'm just gonna say when I watched the second Top Guy movie, my only
critique of it is, he looks a little long in the tooth. Well
he wouldn't be about that age, you know, I'm sorry, but he
looks a little. He does. But but Coca pointed that out. It's
fight to pilots. It's kind of weird. But they do, you know,
have them in their fifties and six. Okay, he does a lot
of experience. Maybe he's had some hard miles, but he looks a little
yeah yeah, and he sets on really and but what I did find,
um, another thing I found was the new love interest what happened to the
old the older love interest one from the original movie. She was actually interviewed
and said they never even contacted me. They because I'm out of the you
know, the truth the truth. I don't mean to be unkind. I
never liked the comment, but she took a completely different path. She still
makes a couple of movies, right, Yeah, that's true, true,
But I don't think she would have fit in in this movie, right.
Yes. The two things I found really kind of cool about this movie was
he flew his own Mustang. Well, you know, John John Travolta flies
his own airline at but you know, from what I understand, this is
one of two of those mustangs still set up that they could actually fly.
Yeah, okay, no, I could see that. I could see that.
But but but but but you know, just you know, I mean,
that's one story, and the other story is that you know, who
knows. It might be a two seed or whatever. But I don't think
any of these I don't think they're they're um agents would let them go up
in an airplane like that. I did see an article where because at the
end of the movie, I don't want to make a spoiler, but it
does show her in the plane with him, right, and they she said
she did get in his plane and flu with him. So I was kind
of impressed with the CGI in that movie too, where you see him in
the plane and all of a sudden the plane. Yeah, I'll tell you
it's I think it's like a great cool kind of stad the afternoon action movie,
if you know what I mean, you know, and you get into
it in the in the know from the second entertaining. The other thing was
she she showed up in a relatively nice early nine to eleven. I saw
that. I said, she runs a buyer and she's got on nine eleven
up on the cliff and Sandy, Yeah go out had a real pretty nine
eleven. And in the original movie The the love Interest had a three fifty
six port show I see which, So they they not only upgraded her,
but they upgraded to a probably an early seventies nine eleven, which only a
spot, which is very a very nice car. I go see the movie.
Go see it. Yeah, it's a greatful it's free. It's free
on UH. I got on Epics, showed up and he is on Paramount
too. It's good to mister Raven because we want to watch it anyway.
It's time to bring the UH Show to a close, which he already has
the crash train image up. I just want to say thank you to everyone
in the in the UM, I want to mention homes Rout Troops tonight.
Homest Troops is a military organization that raises money to build houses for our wounded
veterans combat veterans after nine to eleven who may have wasted limbs and so on.
And they make these homes that are adapted for them in a very few
stairs, wide doorways, lower counts of space, things like that. And
then when they build these homes and they're about the average prices about three and
eighty thousand dollars, so they're not checks. And from your donation, everyone's
donations, they rip up the mortgage. They give them the keys and they
can go on and continue their lives and make as best they can in their
lives without having that thing of mortgage payment hanging over your head every month.
Okay, so that's Homestrut Troops. Homestrut Troops, please google them and see
what they're about. Eighty eight cents of your charity dollar goes to our veterans.
