It's raining and go backley Tappy, but the sun shines on the lay lines
and missed my flight at the IA, and I was bogged down and escape
or small. It's good to meet your cold name s is Steppe. A
pleasure to meet the famous agent Merlin. Do you have package? Indeed five
kilos of pure uncut aspertase and one role of microfilm so incriminating that even rescue
would blush. The microfilm is most important. Aspertame is for my cousin,
Genie Lebloup, of course. And now, if you'll be so kind as
to remain skilled and keep calm, my associates from SIS are going to put
you in manner but numbers terribly Sorry, old Chap, but I'm afraid that
transmission source has been compromised. Clata, I know, I understand, and
send my regards to the boom. Ah. That's that's how nine of the
meetings went in the Cold War. Yeah, that's uh, that's how we
won because all the Russian spies were like limb, not Russian spy. Maam
James Cadford work mcdomalts AMERICU. I like a good fat you watch that John
Wayne making picture. It's such nice. I go home. I watched suites
on big huge fifteen steel vision. My wife such nice deity. Yeah yeah,
hey everybody, I'm David and Florida and I'm da Stacko. This is
blurry photo. That's right, you've dialed us in on our pirate band.
This is the most secretive and clandestine podcast. I wonder if we will get
in trouble if we claim that we're the only like, uh pirate hacker abroad
cast in iTunes. Probably yeah, we uh, we really pulled the wool
over their eyes. We got through their security and now we're broadcasting it from
within. We totally pulled the wool over their rise man. Having said that,
mister mister Apple that we have submitted all of our paperwork and everything is
in order, and we do thank you for your help with our podcast.
Yes, I do have triplicates at home, copies of everything signed by the
ghost of jobs. I like you too, That's what mister Apple says.
Mister Apple. Yeah, Hey, everybody, hope, I hope you're doing
well. Yeah, we got we got some fun stuff for you this episode.
Of course, I had never heard of this before you brought it up,
and it's fascinating and it's awesome. This uh, this, this is
our jabs. This is this is what what we do. We bring up
this stuff you might not have heard of before, and uh throw it around
like a little volleyball. Though none of you want to see what the inside
of a pig's ass looks like. But you know, come on holiday weekend,
everybody's happy to have some brats, right, So at thirty work for
you. Yeah, you can thank us later, get us some tickets to
again. And I just ruined brats for you. Flora connect that dot.
Yeah, exacts, Flora, tell them what they've won. Well, you
guys are in for retreat because this episode, the whole time, every second,
we're gonna be talking about number stations. Numbers. I thought I left
that behind when I quit high school. Nope, your teachers were correct.
You were gonna need this in the world. But seriously, guys, there's
no math involved here at all. Number stations yeah, crazy stuff. Huh.
We're gonna talk about what they are, who controls them, why they're
controlled. Ye throws some examples at you. This is awesome. This like
it's got just a hint of lost in it. Oh yeah, that's in
there, you know, I got it from Fringe. Shut your butt.
See, I haven't watched much of Lost. I've seen some of it,
but I have watched the out of Fringe. You I feel like, are
the opposite, right, Yeah, I used to watch Lost. I haven't
watched Fringe, but it's on the Netflix, so I will watch it.
Yeah. So there's an episode of a Fringe that deals all with numbers stations,
and I've heard that it's in Lost, so hopefully we can cover all
the bases with that. Flora. Let me ask you a question that has
absolutely nothing to do with our podcast, but I'm gonna make all of our
listeners listen to this thing anyway. Is Fringe one of those shows that like
starts out really interesting and then just depresses the balls off of you every episode
depresses? Yeah? No, because I mean, like I'm I'm not a
candy ass, but there comes a point where I can only like get psychologically
sledge hammered so many times by what is now modern drama television, and like
I can't finish like Dexter or Breaking Bad because every single episode just makes me
feel so awful at the end of it that I'll never finish these shows And
that's and I feel like that's modern drama on TV. Now. I don't
think, in my opinion, it will do any of those things to you.
If anything, you might get attached to some of the characters and feel
bad throughout the course of an episode or something for a season, which is
fine, but it tries to tend towards the thriller aspect, like each show
might have some sort of cliffhanger on it that will make you be like,
oh, what's going to happen next, as opposed to like, oh,
god, yeah, the erosion of the human shooting that kid now, yeah,
you just did that and now he's just got to keep living. Oh
yeah. It's just I must be just becoming a big sissy pants because I
just I can't handle it. What is it you or is it the state
of writing in the industry these days? Well? I think it's a mix
because I don't watch TV much at all. I watched like maybe one show
every three or four days, right before I go to bed, and so
it's like the last thing in my head before I go to sleep. So
if it's like a particularly heavy, breaking bad or something like that, I
just have awful dreams. So I'm like, if it, I'm out.
But I also noticed that I think that a lot of TV is about the
erosion of the human soul these days. Wow. How meta? Yeah,
like I of this episode about the number stations, much like the aspartame.
We are now going to start cutting it. Let's talk about these things what
they are a little bit breaking it down. These are broadcasts that come on
shortwave radio that happen day or night. They come in one of three types.
The automated voices reading groups of numbers or letters, a morse code transmission
or noise and or data streams. Really so like old school modem sounds.
I guess, so maybe it's a modem sound. It's it's pretty good.
There's there's a hint of dinosaur in there. Yeah, well everything it has
that I do has a hint of dinosaur because I'm a sexual tarrannosaur. So
to just live with that, try to sleep to a song or something.
Nope, you just call yourself a sexual tarrantosaur. Ballad of David'steco all right,
Uh Now, Typically these things will begin with some kind of music or
maybe a monotonous tone that's played for a few minutes. Or it could have
a voice repeating the same number over and over, and that's presumably to let
the listener tune in to the station, so they they hear it, it's
a little garbled, you know. They play with the dial a little bit
and give them a moment to fine tune in. Now, so I could
just be like Jack around tuning a radio and all of a sudden I hear
beat seven thirteen twenty two, twenty two. If you have a short wave
radio, yeah, yeah you would get it. But as far as a
regular AM band, you wouldn't because of the killer hurts that they're they're dealing
the frequency, yes, because the AM bands go up to seventeen hundred killer
hurts and short waves starts at two thousands. Now there's a gap there that
you can't get in, right, And this is coming from two dudes who
look this information up. I have. I really have no clue how frequencies
and step radio stuff worth sciences, oh gosh. But but nonetheless, so
so there's there's there's just these phantom broadcasts that just randomly crop up chunk of
numbers and then they're gone. Yes, there's not like a regular schedule to
them. People have found regular schedules. It's not as regular as like,
oh gosh, it's TGI Friday. Better tune in for step by step and
then the number of stations, but people have been able to find some kind
of pattern in terms of some of these stations when they come and go.
In addition to the tone that lets you tune into it, they will then
have a two to three number header they call a header, which is repeated,
and then the message itself, which is usually groups of four or five
numbers which are repeated, and then it'll have an ending indicator, which could
be anything from music and or sounds to some form of the word end or
two guys just going bye yeah exactly. So yeah, this this thing.
You can pick it up on the on the shortwave radio and you're just sitting
there and then all of a sudden, it's like I larct a singer on
the journey and the Journal, and then it's like one eighteen four forty two.
So, and these are not legit broadcasts. These are not done by
a radio station, they're not part of a weather service. In fact,
one of the big things with these things is we don't know who's putting them
out there. The ones that are spoken, the ones that you actually get
words from that aren't morse code or aren't tones. Uh. They're transmitted in
many different languages and many different types of voices, although a generally disinterested female
voice seems to be the most popular. Huh, yeah, that's kind of
cool. Well let's let's let's pony one of those up. Let's let the
people hear what we're great we're on about. Yeah, here's here's what a
number station broadcast kind of sounds like, what seven eighteen eighty two three and
what happen? Just kidding, I provided the static on the final record though,
we're really good at this team worked here. Here's the real sound though.
That's the that's the eight zero nine zero four eight zero nine zero four
mm hmmm mmm mm hmmm mm hmm m eight seven zero eight six seven zero
six three zero one zero hey three zero one zero Hey you know one five
seven zero one five seven six. So there you go, taken out of
context in by themselves. Pretty creepy, Yeah, kind of creepy, but
also like if you, I mean, if you just ran across it,
I would just think it had something to do with the crop report or some
sort of diagnostic test of a of a broadcast dish, but it's none of
those things. These like there are people who have spent their lives sort of
obsessively tracking and recording these things. So there are people really into number stations.
Sure, sure of one of the creepy parts, or to add to
some of the creepiness. It hasn't been confirmed by any government or organization as
to what these are, but the general consensus is that they are covert transmissions
to spies operating in foreign countries. So it's like a cipher code right now.
Like you said, no government has confirmed this, but there was a
member of the British government who did once a comment on number stations and said
that they're not regular broadcasts and that if you're not in terms of like something
for the public, right, but they're not public broadcasts and if you're listening
to them, it is you who are breaking the law. I love it.
Yeah, So, I mean, I don't know. In Britain they
have that cable TV detector van man. I mean, I get you drives
around sits outside your flat. Now, did you know this white? No
one really, that's a real thing. There's a tax that you have to
pay to have the cable TV or the TV running in your house. And
they actually had trucks that we go around and much like we have. You
know, they were checking, you know, to put boots on cars and
they had like they would check your house to see if there was the signal
emission from a TV and if they found it, and they would like check
their records and you hadn't paid the tax, they'd like issue you a ticket.
Wow, you get a TV ticket in Britain. I hope I haven't
mangled that horribly. So anyone who knows the details tell us and then be
like, oh, Dave Stecco's heart was in the right place. I see
what he was, I see what he was describing them as. If that
is real, then please tell us about the cable robin hood. Yeah,
all yeah, because if there's one thing England needs is more episodes of Are
You Being Served? Brought to the People? BABYC? People get it all
right, it's it's like this staple classic BABYC sitcom, but it's really hard
to watch. Oh okay, I know some people who swear by it,
but boy, it's like marmite. There are people who love it. And
then there's the rest of the world. Oh my gosh, your references are
way off the charts today. I can't even Yeah, I'm sorry, doctor,
but I can't follow your You're gonna have to do the surgery yourself today.
That yeast spread they put on toast. It sounds redundant, I guess
it is. Yeah. Well, um, okay, I'm gonna file this
under the musely. Well, I hope some listener sends us an email defending
me on this that I did not make up anything that I just said.
You know what, I'm not saying you made anything up. But good for
you for being so learned in the ways of the world. Oh, I'm
a bit of an angler foiler. OI love England, I swear to God.
This episode it's about about number stations. So the uh these transmissions,
though they're they're sent using what's called a one time pad. Yeah this These
are random numbers printed on on numbered sheets, and the messages are an encrypted
uh kind of graph style or map style where only two people have a copy
of these sheets, one the sender and one the receiver, and the sender
will pick out It's it's kind of complicated to explain, although I think in
uh, it comes out to it being that this this code is is decipherable
one time, and one time only in that particular cipher will only be used
that one time, and then they move on it, change it. Right.
Yeah, what I was trying to say is in practice, it makes
a lot more sense than trying to explain it out. But as you as
you just said, it's it's a one time use for these things, and
then that code, that encryption is never used again. If it is used
again, there's a good chance it will get uh deciphered. Yeah, and
then you crack it, then your your espionage is all bumbled. It's it's
all fiddle battled, it's bugaboo. Um, it's all toboggin all right,
So how long have these things been going on? Well, it's been reported.
I didn't I didn't ask you that question. Do you want you now?
Seventy eight percent of this podcast? How long has this been going on
for? Well? Oh god, So this has been reported since the First
World War and they continue to this day. You can still get out there
on your shortwave radio and find them, which is crazy because you would think
that, I mean, I can't even understand like Cold War through the eighties.
But after that, I mean, isn't it all just pages and text
messages? Oh but you do attract that. Yeah, I'm the worst spy
ever. An organization called ENIGMA, which is an association of radio listeners in
the UK during the nineties. Man, I was really hoping they were super
villains now, son of a bitch, and ENIGMA stands for European Numbers,
Information Gathering and Monitoring Association. They assigned codes to known stations, with letters
indicating the language that was used. So an E would be for an English
speaking station for Esperanto, a G for a German S for a Slavic speaking
station, V meant other language, any other language. What about Spanish?
Well, Spanish was under V because S was taken and E was taken.
All right, yeah you canol even they should have done h huh probably,
Well, I mean I just I just imagine. I don't know. Well,
I guess Slavic given the people involved. Sure, yeah, that covers
more ground than just an R or a P or a C. And repeat
myself from another episode. Do not trust the Polish h M is for most
Morse code, and so on and so on. So who who would be
controlling these and why if if you're you're putting the old dots together with lines
here, and if it's spies indeed, then you would probably guess who would
be controlling these things. Could be governments doing doing this, Narco traffickers,
could be drug cartails, Yeah, getting information to That's what I crossed the
border, That's what I was saying, which is why I was so concerned
about the Spanish language not getting on. Well, well that's the thing,
Like a lot of them are Spanish these days apparently, And it could be
just straight up hoaxers, like people maybe heard about this and then they're they're
doing it themselves just to uck with people's ship. Absolute winner of the twenty
thirteen Lamest Prank Every mean, my boys, we get together and my dad's
got his radio right after he goes to bed because he's weird touching about it.
We go up on the roof and we just say numbers and it makes
everyone go mental. I write the pro old songs from the Crash. You
know there was a whole album before rock Kazbar. You know that. You
know that I by listen to this, you know I even learned. I
even did like google translate, and I learned. I learned how to say
like numbers in Ukrainian. People are gonna go mental. People are going to
go totally mental. Where'st prank? Ever? There you go, there's there's,
there's so spies being The most logical reason comes from a few cases of
documented espionage. Oh, I'll go through a few of them here for you.
In nineteen eighty eight, you get a check spy named Vaclav Jellinek,
and he was arrested by British Special Branch detectives while receiving a message on a
shortwave radio in his apartment in London. Oh, they found one time pads
in microfilm hidden in bars of soap in his place. That's a extra spiesy.
Yeah, yeah, that's that's got some some spy heat on it.
Spy, he's got the stinch of spile. Over Thursdays on UPN right after
Veronica Mars reruns. Nineteen ninety eight, The Cuban Five, who was a
spy network from the WASP Network of Spies UH also released the very popular Ah
they say It's easiest So the Cuban Five. Agents of the Cuban that group,
Tito was the star he was a hand it all right. Uh the
Cuban DGI or the direction General Day Intelligencia. Ma Amo asked David, I
don't know. You can't say erroll no general it just I don't I say
that because I got to read the Spanish part of last week's intro and just
destroy it, and you were kind enough not to say anything to me.
But I'm all about tearing you, right, I see who it is.
Gloves are off now, sounds like it's time to kick some fidel astro.
I'm bringing it back. I don't bring it back. I don't where that
one came from, but I supported you. So the Cuban five. They
were arrested and eventually charged with spying four Cube using the numbers. Station a
Tension This is a station that is popular enough to have its own name.
I think it comes on and it starts the broadcast with a tension. The
name, well, that means that, I mean, that means they're getting
sloppy. If it's like always just coming up. If it gets a name,
that you're bad spy. I don't know. There are a few number
stations out there that have been named Besides a Tension, there is a weird
one called Yosemite Sam that plays an old bugs Bunny cartoon clip. Oh damn
it. I was just hoping that it was like one seventeen ye Spies.
But yeah, there, that's not the only one that's that's named, let's
say, but that's a famous one because they got caught two thousand and one,
lady by the name of Anna Mantez, a senior US Defense Intelligence a
Agency analyst, was similarly arrested spying for Cuba. Whoa senior US Defense Intelligence
Agency analyst. She got that high up dude and was a s And it's
amazing because the fun fact about this is that these these number stations and these
one time pads, it's it's uncrackable. Yeah, by any means. You
know, as long as you stick and move with this stuff with and you
just keep using these one time pads, you can't get caught, Which is
what makes it better than, like I said earlier, text messages or you
know, handing over data from computer to computer. You can never really wipe
all that, but radio waves and a pen and paper and you're you're off
to the races. The way that they track these people down is they do
some counter intelligence themselves, which usually involves breaking into their their places, their
abodes, their their places of work, and um, so nice, they
don't have to do that anymore. You just just listen in. You just
it's all legal now. And they find either these one time pads or they
they find evidence of the spying that's going on. It's kind of like a
wire tap almost, you know. They're like, Okay, we hear them
doing these codes and they're receiving the transmissions. So there's something up with this,
dude. So um two thousand and three, get a guy by the
name of Walter Kendall Myers similarly charged spying for Cuba. On the Cuba Back
Off. Two thousand and six, Carlos Alvarez, a Florida International University professor,
and his wife Elsa similarly charged spying for Cuba. Dude, Cuba is
terrible at this. What do you think, What do you think they're doing
with it? Do you think it's they're selling information or do you think it's
it's for them? Well, I mean because they're they're pretty tight with RUSSA,
all right, Yeah, I don't know if they are anymore. No,
everyone else is relaxed and Cuba is like, no, we're not gonna
I don't I don't know. I On one hand, you've got a country
that's very small, with a terrible relationship with the US, but is poised
right off at the coast, So it's in their best interest to know as
much as they can about what we're doing all the time. Yeah, I
mean, but on the other hand, it's probably pretty lucrative. Maybe that's
what they're using their proximity to use these short wave one bad systems to get
information and then brokering that back out to the world. Maybe it's a profit
center for them, could be. I don't know, but they need to
get better at it because they're getting there justisted all over the place. Yeah,
but good old American no how ingenuity. Right. So those are some
and that's that's a pretty recent there, two thousand and six yo. Yeah,
so, and I kind of love that there's this I'm creeping up on
a hundred year old technology that is still as unassailable today as it was then.
Yeah. In the David Wise book The Spy Who Got Away, apparently
a former CIA officer, spoke of number stations used by the US. He
talked about one time pads transmissions sent from Virginia, CIA headquarters, and some
that were sent to set up in Germany for the US, and tactics that
they used, such as broadcasting codes to make other countries think that there were
more spies operating than there actually were. Oh so, just the presence of
the code as a means to destabilized to make them think, yeah, it's
just head games, its haspon. That's awesome, you know, man,
and this stuff is it's still going on, It's still going on. And
then there's the thought there as well that it's like, even if you don't
have spies operating, or maybe you cut back your number of spies because you
don't need them at the moment, you still want to blast out all these
codes to make people think. And then when you do need them, maybe
in the future you can spop them up up and yeah, there there won't
be any lag. Also, some of these number stations just play a continuous
tone, which is pretty unnerving. But people wonder why this is, why,
why there there are just you know, there's no numbers or anything,
just a tone that's played. Well, there's only a finite amount of frequencies
that that are out there to use for these shortwave radios, so unless you're
using it, you'll lose it. So well, they could need it some
day, so they just play a tone to reserve that frequency. Basically,
so if we ever can't do our podcast for a week, you should just
put up sixty minutes of bee. But it's actually a recording of us going
be it's a shop. Shut up, shut up. This is a very
vacation. Dude. Just move, we're breaking character. Uh So, while
it's possible, it is possible to track down some of these physical stations that
they're broadcasting from. Yeah, which usually side note to lead to some remote
military bases, we still don't know for sure who who's sending them out.
I guess because I mean people that nobody's gonna claim them. Yeah, nobody's
nobody's gonna claim Oh yeah, that that's our spy, will hear you.
That's how we talk to our spies. Sorry about that. I should I
should have told you ahead of time. I'm sure that's why there's no Canadian
questions. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. We that
was just us. Do you want this frequency? You can have? It
was it was just a boat to stop and I'm so sorry you beat me?
Do it? Oh? We love you Canada? Um do love Canada.
Oh if any of our listeners are Canadian and all, I hope so.
I would like to be a Canadian citizen for any political reason. I
just love Canada. Son. Can you how about you write in and tell
us how to make that transition. I want to go to Canada. I
love the climate, I love the people. The cities are clean and gorgeous.
I've heard the Vancouver film industry is actually pretty good. Yeah, these
to shoot Stargate up there? What else do you need to know? They?
They I think still do shoot Lost Girl, which is the show that's
right up our alley, and you can find a lot of references to what
we talk about on that show. Go check it out. I will still
on but anyway, but yeah, the moral of the stories, I've been
to a number of Canadian cities and I love them all. Seventy one The
Numbers podcast is about number of stations today. If you have any work in
the film industry that you would like us to do sixty eight percent in Canada?
Can we name this episode countdown? If we drop a little fifty,
we can't even say it's about numbers anymore. So true, we have to
really focus and focus up. We don't know if they are are faker hoaxes,
but obviously they are being used in some capacity if people are getting arrested
in charge with espionage for them. Yeah. Uh, it's a lot of
them out there though, besides the ones that that you can prove again,
could be could be somebody just fun in you, or could could be head
games that are being plain who knows. We don't know who the recipients are
obviously until we bug their house and find them, which we have already done,
and and they they would need to slip up pretty bad, you know,
to for that damn. But you know, let's just ask the Cubans
how you get caught, because they seem they seem you have the market corner
and getting busted doing this thing. Let let me play a clip from the
tent if you Yeah, let's see you the attentsion station. Awesome, basic
one of those guys. And as we've said before, the messages are impossible
to decode without the one time pad. And uh, it's it's creepy,
like I said, when you take it out of context, but in the
context of the spy world. It's still creepy. The thing is the voices
that they use on here and stop, like just random music. That's yeah,
there's something. There is something really weird about a dead station that just
has like the Lincolnshire Poacher. That's another named one because of the song that
they used, which is I thought that was like the name of our next
Victorian era crypted spring Hill Jack and the Lincolnshire Pooser log as it gets it's
tasty. I do not care for that new ending waff. It sounds like
he rides around on shadow spiders. Shut up about the shadow spiders. So,
um, you don't you know you see people? You know what?
I don't you know? What I think it's really interesting about this is that
at no point do you get any of the Democrats up in Capitol Hill fat
cats trying to tell you that this is aliens, that this is this is
climate change, this is this is a legalized gay marriage, this is a
marijuana for everybody. No, this is this is this is one of the
rare times where America stands tall for America and protects its own interest and that
this is exclusively known as a spy a CIA an NSA type operation. And
you see what you say. I don't think any of our friends the were
Thuglicans. I don't think any of them are claiming this claiming. I've never
heard that. I'm sorry, you're good. That's awesome. Oh man,
you're gonna Refugal on Capitol Hill. And then everything just starts. It's spy
spy back and then they're spending our hard earmed money, spending it, spending
it. And they say they say the Democrats are spending it, but it's
really the Refuclicans. There's a BIPARTI but I can't stand it's an American.
I don't I like that. I don't. I'm surprised we actually tried to
dig because we're like, well, it's kind of mysterious. We're gonna have
a Greek guy saying alien somewhere. No, everyone's like all these are so
mysterious, but there's by things everyone knows. It's it's pretty well pretty well
um locked down, yeah, locked on, and and like you would think
that some of this would would fall under like the mind control hat or or
our World Order candidate kind of thing, you know, or or something like
that, but really it's it's kind of tucking nicely into the old spy bucket.
And that's that's about. It's putting up on the shelf. They put
it in that that warehouse next to the arket of the Covenant. You know,
it's like done, It's that's it. So that really is a number
of stations for you? Yeah in a short wave nutshell? Yeah? Now,
uh, what would we end up at? Like like sixty eight sixty
eight? We did it. The FDA can still label this as a podcast
about number stations the Food and Drug Administry. That's right now. The listeners
at home, get out your your pencils and your notepads, because it's time
for you to decode our puns. Oh oh, Flora, I went first
last time. Okay, so so it's my turn to go first. Yeah.
If you think you're so tough, I'm telling you I'm bringing some heat
today. You know, when when you're sitting in your car and you can't
your your seat, you feel this buzz or like a shaking it and it
just leaves your butt without any feeling. It's just it's shaking so much.
You don't you have no idea where it's coming from, what's causing it?
And oh man, it's it's so weird. Well so we h that's the
numb vibrations. Oh, because then your butts numb. Yeah, I like
that. I like that. That's a run around base all right, good
like that? All right, it's a solid single. Ah. I love
that you hid this from me because you're so proud of it. You just
revealed it. Okay, I've got a If your child is not as smart
as the other kids at school, maybe they need a little extra help.
Come on down to Dave Stecco's Dumber Stations. We pronounced the bee because we
don't know not too we don't know words too. Good Dumber Stations Learning Center.
I hope that the door has a pool sign on it, but you
have to push it. Yeah. Oh that's great. All right. So
I'm gonna I'm gonna try to see what I can do here with this one.
Um. I have a straight up kilt shop, sweet, a shop
where you can buy kilts, but the patterns on there it actually is encrypted,
uh and you can actually deciphle these things. The kilt shop. It's
called one Prime Plaid. Oh. I like that. I like that a
lot. Ye. All right, Okay, I've got a product for you.
You do. Yeah, all of us ladies have our own little private
world we live in. That's why I use them Fatal Brand one time pad.
It's our little secret. The crack I heard it. I didn't even
have to turn and look. I knew it as soon as I heard the
crack. Yeah, well played. Yeah, that's what I did today.
So I paid the rent on this planet. Have we made any money on
our beer and wine deal? No? We got affiliate links up you guys,
gold medal line. We're really pushing it though, I mean, right,
I don't know what's wrong. If if there's one thing this podcast guarantees
is that you probably need a drink when you're done listening or before a few
before you know. That'll you know, I'll say this. Actually I was
looking around, uh not by way of an ad, but I was looking
on the beer one. It's a great ad because I don't remember the name
right now, Goldraft Beer, Craft Beer Craft Craft Beer dot Net. I
don't know what I looked on there, Okay, And they have beers from
the Windcrop Windcoop Brewing Company, which is an amazing brewery in downtown Denver.
And it's it's this huge, beautiful old building and makes amazing beer and underneath
it is a comedy sports what used to be a kick because they don't know.
Yeah, they change it. Over all, it's always the same thing.
They just change the name. It's sometimes for a while it's called Chickenhead
Theater or Screaming Jim Jam Theater. It's always this. It's always comedy sports,
no matter what they call it. But it's in the basement of this
place. So actually, I will personally guarantee that if you order the beer
from Wincoop you will be so damn happy you did because they don't actually export.
It's not like you can go to a liquor store, even in Colorado
and get Wincoop beer. So that's that is a score. Wow, I'm
actually probably gonna do that nice. I'll I might try it too, and
then uh and I like it too and instead of well, well we'll lose
money to make money on it, yeah, well hey, that's that's what
That's what podcasting is all about, right, losing money. It's it's about
informing people, you see, you see that's what they want. They want
they want to make this into a moneymaking operation. I'm devoted to the truth
listeners you see, this is exactly this is exactly what I told you about
six months ago. This one just oh man, So I guess that's our
way of saying to hell, to hell with our gymital jamble. Let's let's
let's see what. Let's see what the enlightened people who are who are somehow
nice enough to send us emails have to say, yeah, well hold on
there, Flora, Um, I don't want to alarm you, but usually
using um, the uh blurry photos underground crypto cryptographic league mate, so what
using the blurry photos ultra secret underground cryptograph. One time, Pat I was
able just to decode a few messages from the unturn nets. Oh yeah,
really they sound a little something like this hash. The only thing I was
getting on my shortwave radio was what do you got? What do you?
I'll tell you what we heard once again from a gray Cat's fancy feast.
I missed you. Hey, great to have another pun from you. Great
cat hits us with what we were asking for for a solid month year.
Really, yes, we remember when we couldn't. When we wanted our listenership
to come up with a name for blanc October yea just October wasn't cutting it
right in the big mistake we had is we should have just been wishing for
a listenership at that point, right right, we were really ahead of the
horses on that cart. Whoops a daisy. But Great Cat has come through
for us. Nice because the name that Great Cat thinks we should go with
blurry Photober done. I mean, yeah, how you how did we not
think of you know, I'm sorry I can't say done because we're not there
yet. But we've got a real serious contender that at this point is what
we're going to be calling our Magnificent of October. Right. That's brilliant and
we didn't even come close to coming up with that before. So thank you,
fancy Cat. I mean t o is in October, which is also
in photos. Yes, it's man. You were so glad you guys are
here to pick up our stupid Yeah, no doubt. See it takes it
takes a village to get this podcast rolling. Thank you again, Great Cat
for sending this stuff in. And don't stop what else we got this weekend?
We got a great letter from a new villager. Oh yeah, our
friend Gerald Well new new to writing in new writing, could have been there
from the beginning. Who knows I love a lurker secretly waiting watching in the
corner. You're like that ranger at the table over there with that smoke and
circle in your head that hoods John. Really stop now, are you?
Eric Gorning? Is that what you're doing? I don't know. Somehow,
Yes, someday, Uh, Flora, I'm gonna convince you to read all
that erotic fan fiction you'd write. We'll just we'll find a time. We'll
find an episode that it works on the smoke encircle his head and his cowl.
Yeah. The first one was called Feeling Eric Gorny. Uh. The
second one is called Harry feed Oh never mind, you win, you win.
I don't want those red back to someone who is far better and literate.
Jerrold hits us with a great email about our TWA Naku episode episode It's
hard to say anything after TWA Naku. Jerald makes a great point about our
TWA Knaku episode. He says, every time I hear someone say ancient humans
couldn't have done that, I cringe. We've done some amazing stuff with what
we had within just the last two thousand years, but that doesn't mean we
were idiots beforehand. And that's exactly what we were talking about. Um and
uh and he's absolutely right and uh and as he said it better than we
did. Until I get introduced to an alien and can sort out for myself,
it's if it's an idiot or not human ingenuity and skill will remain my
primary suspect in these cases. Well said, well put, indeed, welcome
aboard. Sir. You should send us more emails. Yeah, please do
great, thank you guys for writing in. And uh, anybody else if
you have any observations, if you have a pun, if you have a
show suggestion, whatever you want, send it in to us. If you're
just like, you know, I had a turkey sandwich just a little bit
ago. It's not sitting while I'm stomach. I want to know about one
to tail somebody, you can tell us what about what about that picture you
took? And you're like, man, I don't know if this is quite
good enough for Instagram? Send that to us. Why not? Don't filter
it though? Those are irritating. You know what's deco? We're over a
hundred likes on Facebook. No no no no no no no no no no
no. That means we gotta go letter and a lock of hair coming to
us. It's right from the Queen. Yeah. We also asked her to
confirm or deny the true history of a spring heel jack, so maybe we'll
have an update. We also asked her to confirm or deny whether she is
a reptile or yes. Yeah, so maybe we'll get a lock of hair
or a handful of skills. Yeah, of sluffed off, scaly skin,
oh, molding, disgusting. Thank you guys for for liking us, and
yes, you should send friends over to like us as well. Yeah,
thank you so much for your correspondence. We actually really do enjoy it.
Yeah, you wouldn't think it, but I remember when you were like nine,
how jealous you were of your parents getting mail, and how kind of
quietly irritating it was. They were like, oh, well you just wait
until you get mail, and you're gonna hate it. Well, we like
mail. We're like the Nintendo power of your lives exactly. Oh man,
there was no better day than getting that thing in there. You so give
back. Yeah, make that happen again. Wonderful you guys, you you

know what, it's okay that you're not participating in a lie because we don't
know what we're doing, but the people won't know that. Intell it's too
life. If somebody's on the fence, I could listen to another Mysterious Universe
episode, or I could try something new, but I need I need someone
else's opinion to tell me if I should do it or not. See that's
where you come out. Those are Australian's accents are interesting, But what if
I wanted to hear a thousand weird accents poorly done? All this is perfect?
