We got through their security and now we're broadcasting it from 23 00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:15.960 within. We totally pulled the wool over their rise man.

Well, you 40 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:28.040 guys are in for retreat because this episode, the whole time, every second, 41 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:32.800 we're gonna be talking about number stations. Numbers. I thought I left 42 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:38.040 that behind when I quit high school. Nope, your teachers were correct. 43 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:45.000 You were gonna need this in the world. But seriously, guys, there's 44 00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.399 no math involved here at all. Number stations yeah, crazy stuff. Huh. 45 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:54.160 We're gonna talk about what they are, who controls them, why they're 46 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:58.160 controlled. Ye throws some examples at you. This is awesome. This like 47 00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:03.000 it's got just a hint of lost in it. Oh yeah, that's in 48 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.240 there, you know, I got it from Fringe. Shut your butt. 49 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:10.439 See, I haven't watched much of Lost. I've seen some of it, 50 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:14.959 but I have watched the out of Fringe. You I feel like, are 51 00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:16.920 the opposite, right, Yeah, I used to watch Lost. I haven't 52 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:20.800 watched Fringe, but it's on the Netflix, so I will watch it. 53 00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:27.360 Yeah. So there's an episode of a Fringe that deals all with numbers stations, 54 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.920 and I've heard that it's in Lost, so hopefully we can cover all 55 00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.480 the bases with that. Flora. Let me ask you a question that has 56 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.240 absolutely nothing to do with our podcast, but I'm gonna make all of our 57 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:41.759 listeners listen to this thing anyway. Is Fringe one of those shows that like 58 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:46.680 starts out really interesting and then just depresses the balls off of you every episode 59 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.600 depresses? Yeah? No, because I mean, like I'm I'm not a 60 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:55.240 candy ass, but there comes a point where I can only like get psychologically 61 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:59.720 sledge hammered so many times by what is now modern drama television, and like 62 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:06.839 I can't finish like Dexter or Breaking Bad because every single episode just makes me 63 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:13.000 feel so awful at the end of it that I'll never finish these shows And 64 00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.920 that's and I feel like that's modern drama on TV. Now. I don't 65 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.959 think, in my opinion, it will do any of those things to you. 66 00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:24.120 If anything, you might get attached to some of the characters and feel 67 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:28.000 bad throughout the course of an episode or something for a season, which is 68 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:34.519 fine, but it tries to tend towards the thriller aspect, like each show 69 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:38.360 might have some sort of cliffhanger on it that will make you be like, 70 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:41.680 oh, what's going to happen next, as opposed to like, oh, 71 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.279 god, yeah, the erosion of the human shooting that kid now, yeah, 72 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.879 you just did that and now he's just got to keep living. Oh 73 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:55.399 yeah. It's just I must be just becoming a big sissy pants because I 74 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.879 just I can't handle it. What is it you or is it the state 75 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.360 of writing in the industry these days? Well? I think it's a mix 76 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:06.000 because I don't watch TV much at all. I watched like maybe one show 77 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:10.279 every three or four days, right before I go to bed, and so 78 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.120 it's like the last thing in my head before I go to sleep. So 79 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:16.879 if it's like a particularly heavy, breaking bad or something like that, I 80 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.399 just have awful dreams. So I'm like, if it, I'm out. 81 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.519 But I also noticed that I think that a lot of TV is about the 82 00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:27.199 erosion of the human soul these days. Wow. How meta? Yeah, 83 00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:33.319 like I of this episode about the number stations, much like the aspartame. 84 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:39.759 We are now going to start cutting it. Let's talk about these things what 85 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:44.360 they are a little bit breaking it down. These are broadcasts that come on 86 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:48.680 shortwave radio that happen day or night. They come in one of three types. 87 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:57.839 The automated voices reading groups of numbers or letters, a morse code transmission 88 00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:05.879 or noise and or data streams. Really so like old school modem sounds. 89 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.600 I guess, so maybe it's a modem sound. It's it's pretty good. 90 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.959 There's there's a hint of dinosaur in there. Yeah, well everything it has 91 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.560 that I do has a hint of dinosaur because I'm a sexual tarrannosaur. So 92 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.600 to just live with that, try to sleep to a song or something. 93 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:33.759 Nope, you just call yourself a sexual tarrantosaur. Ballad of David'steco all right, 94 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.480 Uh Now, Typically these things will begin with some kind of music or 95 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:43.080 maybe a monotonous tone that's played for a few minutes. Or it could have 96 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:48.279 a voice repeating the same number over and over, and that's presumably to let 97 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.879 the listener tune in to the station, so they they hear it, it's 98 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:54.919 a little garbled, you know. They play with the dial a little bit 99 00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.919 and give them a moment to fine tune in. Now, so I could 100 00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.360 just be like Jack around tuning a radio and all of a sudden I hear 101 00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:07.360 beat seven thirteen twenty two, twenty two. If you have a short wave 102 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:13.159 radio, yeah, yeah you would get it. But as far as a 103 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:18.720 regular AM band, you wouldn't because of the killer hurts that they're they're dealing 104 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.279 the frequency, yes, because the AM bands go up to seventeen hundred killer 105 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.120 hurts and short waves starts at two thousands. Now there's a gap there that 106 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:30.799 you can't get in, right, And this is coming from two dudes who 107 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.240 look this information up. I have. I really have no clue how frequencies 108 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:41.399 and step radio stuff worth sciences, oh gosh. But but nonetheless, so 109 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:46.399 so there's there's there's just these phantom broadcasts that just randomly crop up chunk of 110 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.000 numbers and then they're gone. Yes, there's not like a regular schedule to 111 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.720 them. People have found regular schedules. It's not as regular as like, 112 00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.039 oh gosh, it's TGI Friday. Better tune in for step by step and 113 00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:07.600 then the number of stations, but people have been able to find some kind 114 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.759 of pattern in terms of some of these stations when they come and go. 115 00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:16.120 In addition to the tone that lets you tune into it, they will then 116 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.200 have a two to three number header they call a header, which is repeated, 117 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.960 and then the message itself, which is usually groups of four or five 118 00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:31.240 numbers which are repeated, and then it'll have an ending indicator, which could 119 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:37.519 be anything from music and or sounds to some form of the word end or 120 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:45.440 two guys just going bye yeah exactly. So yeah, this this thing. 121 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.960 You can pick it up on the on the shortwave radio and you're just sitting 122 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.559 there and then all of a sudden, it's like I larct a singer on 123 00:10:52.639 --> 00:11:01.919 the journey and the Journal, and then it's like one eighteen four forty two. 124 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:05.639 So, and these are not legit broadcasts. These are not done by 125 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:09.039 a radio station, they're not part of a weather service. In fact, 126 00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.440 one of the big things with these things is we don't know who's putting them 127 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.679 out there. The ones that are spoken, the ones that you actually get 128 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:22.919 words from that aren't morse code or aren't tones. Uh. They're transmitted in 129 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:28.080 many different languages and many different types of voices, although a generally disinterested female 130 00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.320 voice seems to be the most popular. Huh, yeah, that's kind of 131 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.440 cool. Well let's let's let's pony one of those up. Let's let the 132 00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:37.639 people hear what we're great we're on about. Yeah, here's here's what a 133 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:56.000 number station broadcast kind of sounds like, what seven eighteen eighty two three and 134 00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:07.039 what happen? Just kidding, I provided the static on the final record though, 135 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.559 we're really good at this team worked here. Here's the real sound though. 136 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:31.679 That's the that's the eight zero nine zero four eight zero nine zero four 137 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:54.360 mm hmmm mmm mm hmmm mm hmm m eight seven zero eight six seven zero 138 00:12:54.879 --> 00:13:09.279 six three zero one zero hey three zero one zero Hey you know one five 139 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:30.799 seven zero one five seven six. So there you go, taken out of 140 00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:35.320 context in by themselves. Pretty creepy, Yeah, kind of creepy, but 141 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:37.000 also like if you, I mean, if you just ran across it, 142 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.799 I would just think it had something to do with the crop report or some 143 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:45.600 sort of diagnostic test of a of a broadcast dish, but it's none of 144 00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:48.919 those things. These like there are people who have spent their lives sort of 145 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:54.240 obsessively tracking and recording these things. So there are people really into number stations. 146 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.399 Sure, sure of one of the creepy parts, or to add to 147 00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:01.799 some of the creepiness. It hasn't been confirmed by any government or organization as 148 00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:09.080 to what these are, but the general consensus is that they are covert transmissions 149 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:16.720 to spies operating in foreign countries. So it's like a cipher code right now. 150 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:18.759 Like you said, no government has confirmed this, but there was a 151 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:24.480 member of the British government who did once a comment on number stations and said 152 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:31.240 that they're not regular broadcasts and that if you're not in terms of like something 153 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:35.279 for the public, right, but they're not public broadcasts and if you're listening 154 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.480 to them, it is you who are breaking the law. I love it. 155 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.559 Yeah, So, I mean, I don't know. In Britain they 156 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:48.120 have that cable TV detector van man. I mean, I get you drives 157 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.919 around sits outside your flat. Now, did you know this white? No 158 00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.480 one really, that's a real thing. There's a tax that you have to 159 00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.360 pay to have the cable TV or the TV running in your house. And 160 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.639 they actually had trucks that we go around and much like we have. You 161 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.240 know, they were checking, you know, to put boots on cars and 162 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.360 they had like they would check your house to see if there was the signal 163 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.159 emission from a TV and if they found it, and they would like check 164 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.600 their records and you hadn't paid the tax, they'd like issue you a ticket. 165 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.399 Wow, you get a TV ticket in Britain. I hope I haven't 166 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.879 mangled that horribly. So anyone who knows the details tell us and then be 167 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.399 like, oh, Dave Stecco's heart was in the right place. I see 168 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.799 what he was, I see what he was describing them as. If that 169 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:33.080 is real, then please tell us about the cable robin hood. Yeah, 170 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:43.639 all yeah, because if there's one thing England needs is more episodes of Are 171 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:50.440 You Being Served? Brought to the People? BABYC? People get it all 172 00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:56.360 right, it's it's like this staple classic BABYC sitcom, but it's really hard 173 00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.279 to watch. Oh okay, I know some people who swear by it, 174 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.600 but boy, it's like marmite. There are people who love it. And 175 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.080 then there's the rest of the world. Oh my gosh, your references are 176 00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:14.679 way off the charts today. I can't even Yeah, I'm sorry, doctor, 177 00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:18.360 but I can't follow your You're gonna have to do the surgery yourself today. 178 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:26.720 That yeast spread they put on toast. It sounds redundant, I guess 179 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:32.759 it is. Yeah. Well, um, okay, I'm gonna file this 180 00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:40.000 under the musely. Well, I hope some listener sends us an email defending 181 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:41.799 me on this that I did not make up anything that I just said. 182 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:47.559 You know what, I'm not saying you made anything up. But good for 183 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:49.840 you for being so learned in the ways of the world. Oh, I'm 184 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:59.480 a bit of an angler foiler. OI love England, I swear to God. 185 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:07.160 This episode it's about about number stations. So the uh these transmissions, 186 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:12.319 though they're they're sent using what's called a one time pad. Yeah this These 187 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:18.480 are random numbers printed on on numbered sheets, and the messages are an encrypted 188 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.880 uh kind of graph style or map style where only two people have a copy 189 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:27.000 of these sheets, one the sender and one the receiver, and the sender 190 00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:32.880 will pick out It's it's kind of complicated to explain, although I think in 191 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.799 uh, it comes out to it being that this this code is is decipherable 192 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.519 one time, and one time only in that particular cipher will only be used 193 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:42.720 that one time, and then they move on it, change it. Right. 194 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:47.599 Yeah, what I was trying to say is in practice, it makes 195 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.839 a lot more sense than trying to explain it out. But as you as 196 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:52.759 you just said, it's it's a one time use for these things, and 197 00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.640 then that code, that encryption is never used again. If it is used 198 00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:02.200 again, there's a good chance it will get uh deciphered. Yeah, and 199 00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:07.359 then you crack it, then your your espionage is all bumbled. It's it's 200 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:15.880 all fiddle battled, it's bugaboo. Um, it's all toboggin all right, 201 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:22.400 So how long have these things been going on? Well, it's been reported. 202 00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:30.000 I didn't I didn't ask you that question. Do you want you now? 203 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:36.960 Seventy eight percent of this podcast? How long has this been going on 204 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:45.559 for? Well? Oh god, So this has been reported since the First 205 00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:51.480 World War and they continue to this day. You can still get out there 206 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:55.319 on your shortwave radio and find them, which is crazy because you would think 207 00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:59.599 that, I mean, I can't even understand like Cold War through the eighties. 208 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:02.759 But after that, I mean, isn't it all just pages and text 209 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:07.000 messages? Oh but you do attract that. Yeah, I'm the worst spy 210 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:14.440 ever. An organization called ENIGMA, which is an association of radio listeners in 211 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:18.039 the UK during the nineties. Man, I was really hoping they were super 212 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.319 villains now, son of a bitch, and ENIGMA stands for European Numbers, 213 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:30.920 Information Gathering and Monitoring Association. They assigned codes to known stations, with letters 214 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.039 indicating the language that was used. So an E would be for an English 215 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:41.240 speaking station for Esperanto, a G for a German S for a Slavic speaking 216 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.240 station, V meant other language, any other language. What about Spanish? 217 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:49.720 Well, Spanish was under V because S was taken and E was taken. 218 00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:56.799 All right, yeah you canol even they should have done h huh probably, 219 00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.759 Well, I mean I just I just imagine. I don't know. Well, 220 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:04.240 I guess Slavic given the people involved. Sure, yeah, that covers 221 00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:08.200 more ground than just an R or a P or a C. And repeat 222 00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:15.079 myself from another episode. Do not trust the Polish h M is for most 223 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:19.079 Morse code, and so on and so on. So who who would be 224 00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:26.200 controlling these and why if if you're you're putting the old dots together with lines 225 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:30.200 here, and if it's spies indeed, then you would probably guess who would 226 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:36.839 be controlling these things. Could be governments doing doing this, Narco traffickers, 227 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.839 could be drug cartails, Yeah, getting information to That's what I crossed the 228 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:42.960 border, That's what I was saying, which is why I was so concerned 229 00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:45.480 about the Spanish language not getting on. Well, well that's the thing, 230 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:51.079 Like a lot of them are Spanish these days apparently, And it could be 231 00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:53.519 just straight up hoaxers, like people maybe heard about this and then they're they're 232 00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:59.440 doing it themselves just to uck with people's ship. Absolute winner of the twenty 233 00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:06.359 thirteen Lamest Prank Every mean, my boys, we get together and my dad's 234 00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:08.400 got his radio right after he goes to bed because he's weird touching about it. 235 00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:11.880 We go up on the roof and we just say numbers and it makes 236 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:21.279 everyone go mental. I write the pro old songs from the Crash. You 237 00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.480 know there was a whole album before rock Kazbar. You know that. You 238 00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:27.799 know that I by listen to this, you know I even learned. I 239 00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:32.039 even did like google translate, and I learned. I learned how to say 240 00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:37.559 like numbers in Ukrainian. People are gonna go mental. People are going to 241 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:44.880 go totally mental. Where'st prank? Ever? There you go, there's there's, 242 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.160 there's so spies being The most logical reason comes from a few cases of 243 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.799 documented espionage. Oh, I'll go through a few of them here for you. 244 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:59.079 In nineteen eighty eight, you get a check spy named Vaclav Jellinek, 245 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:06.119 and he was arrested by British Special Branch detectives while receiving a message on a 246 00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:11.839 shortwave radio in his apartment in London. Oh, they found one time pads 247 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:17.839 in microfilm hidden in bars of soap in his place. That's a extra spiesy. 248 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:21.079 Yeah, yeah, that's that's got some some spy heat on it. 249 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:29.160 Spy, he's got the stinch of spile. Over Thursdays on UPN right after 250 00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:37.359 Veronica Mars reruns. Nineteen ninety eight, The Cuban Five, who was a 251 00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:45.359 spy network from the WASP Network of Spies UH also released the very popular Ah 252 00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:57.279 they say It's easiest So the Cuban Five. Agents of the Cuban that group, 253 00:22:57.400 --> 00:23:08.119 Tito was the star he was a hand it all right. Uh the 254 00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:18.200 Cuban DGI or the direction General Day Intelligencia. Ma Amo asked David, I 255 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:23.200 don't know. You can't say erroll no general it just I don't I say 256 00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:27.559 that because I got to read the Spanish part of last week's intro and just 257 00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:33.240 destroy it, and you were kind enough not to say anything to me. 258 00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:36.279 But I'm all about tearing you, right, I see who it is. 259 00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:41.599 Gloves are off now, sounds like it's time to kick some fidel astro. 260 00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:51.039 I'm bringing it back. I don't bring it back. I don't where that 261 00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:56.920 one came from, but I supported you. So the Cuban five. They 262 00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:02.440 were arrested and eventually charged with spying four Cube using the numbers. Station a 263 00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:07.839 Tension This is a station that is popular enough to have its own name. 264 00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:11.119 I think it comes on and it starts the broadcast with a tension. The 265 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.880 name, well, that means that, I mean, that means they're getting 266 00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:18.079 sloppy. If it's like always just coming up. If it gets a name, 267 00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:22.559 that you're bad spy. I don't know. There are a few number 268 00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:26.720 stations out there that have been named Besides a Tension, there is a weird 269 00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:32.720 one called Yosemite Sam that plays an old bugs Bunny cartoon clip. Oh damn 270 00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:45.000 it. I was just hoping that it was like one seventeen ye Spies. 271 00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:51.640 But yeah, there, that's not the only one that's that's named, let's 272 00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:53.720 say, but that's a famous one because they got caught two thousand and one, 273 00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:59.839 lady by the name of Anna Mantez, a senior US Defense Intelligence a 274 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.799 Agency analyst, was similarly arrested spying for Cuba. Whoa senior US Defense Intelligence 275 00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:12.319 Agency analyst. She got that high up dude and was a s And it's 276 00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:18.200 amazing because the fun fact about this is that these these number stations and these 277 00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:22.359 one time pads, it's it's uncrackable. Yeah, by any means. You 278 00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:25.880 know, as long as you stick and move with this stuff with and you 279 00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:30.160 just keep using these one time pads, you can't get caught, Which is 280 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.359 what makes it better than, like I said earlier, text messages or you 281 00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:37.440 know, handing over data from computer to computer. You can never really wipe 282 00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:41.200 all that, but radio waves and a pen and paper and you're you're off 283 00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.119 to the races. The way that they track these people down is they do 284 00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:49.640 some counter intelligence themselves, which usually involves breaking into their their places, their 285 00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:53.599 abodes, their their places of work, and um, so nice, they 286 00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:56.839 don't have to do that anymore. You just just listen in. You just 287 00:25:57.440 --> 00:26:03.599 it's all legal now. And they find either these one time pads or they 288 00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.720 they find evidence of the spying that's going on. It's kind of like a 289 00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.359 wire tap almost, you know. They're like, Okay, we hear them 290 00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:15.039 doing these codes and they're receiving the transmissions. So there's something up with this, 291 00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:19.000 dude. So um two thousand and three, get a guy by the 292 00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:26.759 name of Walter Kendall Myers similarly charged spying for Cuba. On the Cuba Back 293 00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:33.279 Off. Two thousand and six, Carlos Alvarez, a Florida International University professor, 294 00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:41.200 and his wife Elsa similarly charged spying for Cuba. Dude, Cuba is 295 00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:44.599 terrible at this. What do you think, What do you think they're doing 296 00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:48.599 with it? Do you think it's they're selling information or do you think it's 297 00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:52.119 it's for them? Well, I mean because they're they're pretty tight with RUSSA, 298 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:55.920 all right, Yeah, I don't know if they are anymore. No, 299 00:26:56.519 --> 00:26:59.920 everyone else is relaxed and Cuba is like, no, we're not gonna 300 00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:03.680 I don't I don't know. I On one hand, you've got a country 301 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:08.720 that's very small, with a terrible relationship with the US, but is poised 302 00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:12.039 right off at the coast, So it's in their best interest to know as 303 00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:15.200 much as they can about what we're doing all the time. Yeah, I 304 00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:22.039 mean, but on the other hand, it's probably pretty lucrative. Maybe that's 305 00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:26.119 what they're using their proximity to use these short wave one bad systems to get 306 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:30.240 information and then brokering that back out to the world. Maybe it's a profit 307 00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:33.839 center for them, could be. I don't know, but they need to 308 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.000 get better at it because they're getting there justisted all over the place. Yeah, 309 00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:42.599 but good old American no how ingenuity. Right. So those are some 310 00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:48.559 and that's that's a pretty recent there, two thousand and six yo. Yeah, 311 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:52.200 so, and I kind of love that there's this I'm creeping up on 312 00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:57.599 a hundred year old technology that is still as unassailable today as it was then. 313 00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:03.640 Yeah. In the David Wise book The Spy Who Got Away, apparently 314 00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:07.599 a former CIA officer, spoke of number stations used by the US. He 315 00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:15.920 talked about one time pads transmissions sent from Virginia, CIA headquarters, and some 316 00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:21.119 that were sent to set up in Germany for the US, and tactics that 317 00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:25.480 they used, such as broadcasting codes to make other countries think that there were 318 00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:29.799 more spies operating than there actually were. Oh so, just the presence of 319 00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:33.279 the code as a means to destabilized to make them think, yeah, it's 320 00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.799 just head games, its haspon. That's awesome, you know, man, 321 00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.480 and this stuff is it's still going on, It's still going on. And 322 00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:45.240 then there's the thought there as well that it's like, even if you don't 323 00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:49.119 have spies operating, or maybe you cut back your number of spies because you 324 00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:52.720 don't need them at the moment, you still want to blast out all these 325 00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:57.039 codes to make people think. And then when you do need them, maybe 326 00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:00.279 in the future you can spop them up up and yeah, there there won't 327 00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:06.200 be any lag. Also, some of these number stations just play a continuous 328 00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:11.279 tone, which is pretty unnerving. But people wonder why this is, why, 329 00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:15.119 why there there are just you know, there's no numbers or anything, 330 00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:21.279 just a tone that's played. Well, there's only a finite amount of frequencies 331 00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:25.240 that that are out there to use for these shortwave radios, so unless you're 332 00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:29.640 using it, you'll lose it. So well, they could need it some 333 00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:33.640 day, so they just play a tone to reserve that frequency. Basically, 334 00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:36.519 so if we ever can't do our podcast for a week, you should just 335 00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:41.039 put up sixty minutes of bee. But it's actually a recording of us going 336 00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:53.960 be it's a shop. Shut up, shut up. This is a very 337 00:29:55.079 --> 00:30:00.599 vacation. Dude. Just move, we're breaking character. Uh So, while 338 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:04.519 it's possible, it is possible to track down some of these physical stations that 339 00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:10.920 they're broadcasting from. Yeah, which usually side note to lead to some remote 340 00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:15.039 military bases, we still don't know for sure who who's sending them out. 341 00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:18.000 I guess because I mean people that nobody's gonna claim them. Yeah, nobody's 342 00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:22.160 nobody's gonna claim Oh yeah, that that's our spy, will hear you. 343 00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:25.920 That's how we talk to our spies. Sorry about that. I should I 344 00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:27.839 should have told you ahead of time. I'm sure that's why there's no Canadian 345 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.720 questions. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. We that 346 00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.039 was just us. Do you want this frequency? You can have? It 347 00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:41.599 was it was just a boat to stop and I'm so sorry you beat me? 348 00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.279 Do it? Oh? We love you Canada? Um do love Canada. 349 00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:49.920 Oh if any of our listeners are Canadian and all, I hope so. 350 00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:56.000 I would like to be a Canadian citizen for any political reason. I 351 00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:00.680 just love Canada. Son. Can you how about you write in and tell 352 00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:06.319 us how to make that transition. I want to go to Canada. I 353 00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:08.559 love the climate, I love the people. The cities are clean and gorgeous. 354 00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:12.559 I've heard the Vancouver film industry is actually pretty good. Yeah, these 355 00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:15.480 to shoot Stargate up there? What else do you need to know? They? 356 00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:18.680 They I think still do shoot Lost Girl, which is the show that's 357 00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:22.160 right up our alley, and you can find a lot of references to what 358 00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:25.799 we talk about on that show. Go check it out. I will still 359 00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:29.519 on but anyway, but yeah, the moral of the stories, I've been 360 00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:33.480 to a number of Canadian cities and I love them all. Seventy one The 361 00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:38.480 Numbers podcast is about number of stations today. If you have any work in 362 00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:45.640 the film industry that you would like us to do sixty eight percent in Canada? 363 00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:51.759 Can we name this episode countdown? If we drop a little fifty, 364 00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:55.240 we can't even say it's about numbers anymore. So true, we have to 365 00:31:55.359 --> 00:32:00.839 really focus and focus up. We don't know if they are are faker hoaxes, 366 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:06.720 but obviously they are being used in some capacity if people are getting arrested 367 00:32:06.799 --> 00:32:09.160 in charge with espionage for them. Yeah. Uh, it's a lot of 368 00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:14.480 them out there though, besides the ones that that you can prove again, 369 00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:17.480 could be could be somebody just fun in you, or could could be head 370 00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:22.440 games that are being plain who knows. We don't know who the recipients are 371 00:32:22.559 --> 00:32:28.000 obviously until we bug their house and find them, which we have already done, 372 00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:30.920 and and they they would need to slip up pretty bad, you know, 373 00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:32.640 to for that damn. But you know, let's just ask the Cubans 374 00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:37.359 how you get caught, because they seem they seem you have the market corner 375 00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:42.200 and getting busted doing this thing. Let let me play a clip from the 376 00:32:42.559 --> 00:33:09.839 tent if you Yeah, let's see you the attentsion station. Awesome, basic 377 00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:17.160 one of those guys. And as we've said before, the messages are impossible 378 00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:22.039 to decode without the one time pad. And uh, it's it's creepy, 379 00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.559 like I said, when you take it out of context, but in the 380 00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:30.000 context of the spy world. It's still creepy. The thing is the voices 381 00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:34.759 that they use on here and stop, like just random music. That's yeah, 382 00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:37.480 there's something. There is something really weird about a dead station that just 383 00:33:37.599 --> 00:33:40.319 has like the Lincolnshire Poacher. That's another named one because of the song that 384 00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:44.440 they used, which is I thought that was like the name of our next 385 00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:52.920 Victorian era crypted spring Hill Jack and the Lincolnshire Pooser log as it gets it's 386 00:33:53.079 --> 00:34:04.279 tasty. I do not care for that new ending waff. It sounds like 387 00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:08.280 he rides around on shadow spiders. Shut up about the shadow spiders. So, 388 00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:14.519 um, you don't you know you see people? You know what? 389 00:34:14.639 --> 00:34:16.119 I don't you know? What I think it's really interesting about this is that 390 00:34:16.440 --> 00:34:21.920 at no point do you get any of the Democrats up in Capitol Hill fat 391 00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:24.800 cats trying to tell you that this is aliens, that this is this is 392 00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:29.519 climate change, this is this is a legalized gay marriage, this is a 393 00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:31.719 marijuana for everybody. No, this is this is this is one of the 394 00:34:32.159 --> 00:34:37.480 rare times where America stands tall for America and protects its own interest and that 395 00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:45.920 this is exclusively known as a spy a CIA an NSA type operation. And 396 00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:49.800 you see what you say. I don't think any of our friends the were 397 00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:55.519 Thuglicans. I don't think any of them are claiming this claiming. I've never 398 00:34:55.639 --> 00:35:05.239 heard that. I'm sorry, you're good. That's awesome. Oh man, 399 00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:09.079 you're gonna Refugal on Capitol Hill. And then everything just starts. It's spy 400 00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:16.679 spy back and then they're spending our hard earmed money, spending it, spending 401 00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:22.159 it. And they say they say the Democrats are spending it, but it's 402 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:27.960 really the Refuclicans. There's a BIPARTI but I can't stand it's an American. 403 00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:38.679 I don't I like that. I don't. I'm surprised we actually tried to 404 00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:42.599 dig because we're like, well, it's kind of mysterious. We're gonna have 405 00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:47.119 a Greek guy saying alien somewhere. No, everyone's like all these are so 406 00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:52.079 mysterious, but there's by things everyone knows. It's it's pretty well pretty well 407 00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:58.760 um locked down, yeah, locked on, and and like you would think 408 00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:02.199 that some of this would would fall under like the mind control hat or or 409 00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:07.840 our World Order candidate kind of thing, you know, or or something like 410 00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:15.320 that, but really it's it's kind of tucking nicely into the old spy bucket. 411 00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:17.159 And that's that's about. It's putting up on the shelf. They put 412 00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:21.239 it in that that warehouse next to the arket of the Covenant. You know, 413 00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:25.360 it's like done, It's that's it. So that really is a number 414 00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:30.559 of stations for you? Yeah in a short wave nutshell? Yeah? Now, 415 00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:35.800 uh, what would we end up at? Like like sixty eight sixty 416 00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:40.440 eight? We did it. The FDA can still label this as a podcast 417 00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:47.679 about number stations the Food and Drug Administry. That's right now. The listeners 418 00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:52.719 at home, get out your your pencils and your notepads, because it's time 419 00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:57.599 for you to decode our puns. Oh oh, Flora, I went first 420 00:36:57.719 --> 00:37:00.800 last time. Okay, so so it's my turn to go first. Yeah. 421 00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:04.079 If you think you're so tough, I'm telling you I'm bringing some heat 422 00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:07.960 today. You know, when when you're sitting in your car and you can't 423 00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:14.000 your your seat, you feel this buzz or like a shaking it and it 424 00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:17.360 just leaves your butt without any feeling. It's just it's shaking so much. 425 00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:21.599 You don't you have no idea where it's coming from, what's causing it? 426 00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:25.119 And oh man, it's it's so weird. Well so we h that's the 427 00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:32.119 numb vibrations. Oh, because then your butts numb. Yeah, I like 428 00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:36.320 that. I like that. That's a run around base all right, good 429 00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:40.119 like that? All right, it's a solid single. Ah. I love 430 00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:45.840 that you hid this from me because you're so proud of it. You just 431 00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:50.719 revealed it. Okay, I've got a If your child is not as smart 432 00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:53.280 as the other kids at school, maybe they need a little extra help. 433 00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:59.239 Come on down to Dave Stecco's Dumber Stations. We pronounced the bee because we 434 00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:05.880 don't know not too we don't know words too. Good Dumber Stations Learning Center. 435 00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:13.559 I hope that the door has a pool sign on it, but you 436 00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:17.400 have to push it. Yeah. Oh that's great. All right. So 437 00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:21.480 I'm gonna I'm gonna try to see what I can do here with this one. 438 00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:25.239 Um. I have a straight up kilt shop, sweet, a shop 439 00:38:25.320 --> 00:38:32.079 where you can buy kilts, but the patterns on there it actually is encrypted, 440 00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:37.400 uh and you can actually deciphle these things. The kilt shop. It's 441 00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:44.840 called one Prime Plaid. Oh. I like that. I like that a 442 00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:50.320 lot. Ye. All right, Okay, I've got a product for you. 443 00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:54.639 You do. Yeah, all of us ladies have our own little private 444 00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:59.800 world we live in. That's why I use them Fatal Brand one time pad. 445 00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:13.639 It's our little secret. The crack I heard it. I didn't even 446 00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:15.800 have to turn and look. I knew it as soon as I heard the 447 00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:22.880 crack. Yeah, well played. Yeah, that's what I did today. 448 00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:30.320 So I paid the rent on this planet. Have we made any money on 449 00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:35.440 our beer and wine deal? No? We got affiliate links up you guys, 450 00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:42.000 gold medal line. We're really pushing it though, I mean, right, 451 00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:47.719 I don't know what's wrong. If if there's one thing this podcast guarantees 452 00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:53.119 is that you probably need a drink when you're done listening or before a few 453 00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:55.719 before you know. That'll you know, I'll say this. Actually I was 454 00:39:55.800 --> 00:40:00.400 looking around, uh not by way of an ad, but I was looking 455 00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:05.559 on the beer one. It's a great ad because I don't remember the name 456 00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:13.519 right now, Goldraft Beer, Craft Beer Craft Craft Beer dot Net. I 457 00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:16.639 don't know what I looked on there, Okay, And they have beers from 458 00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:22.079 the Windcrop Windcoop Brewing Company, which is an amazing brewery in downtown Denver. 459 00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:27.559 And it's it's this huge, beautiful old building and makes amazing beer and underneath 460 00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:30.960 it is a comedy sports what used to be a kick because they don't know. 461 00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:32.280 Yeah, they change it. Over all, it's always the same thing. 462 00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:36.679 They just change the name. It's sometimes for a while it's called Chickenhead 463 00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:39.920 Theater or Screaming Jim Jam Theater. It's always this. It's always comedy sports, 464 00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:44.079 no matter what they call it. But it's in the basement of this 465 00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:47.440 place. So actually, I will personally guarantee that if you order the beer 466 00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:53.000 from Wincoop you will be so damn happy you did because they don't actually export. 467 00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:57.239 It's not like you can go to a liquor store, even in Colorado 468 00:40:57.320 --> 00:41:00.760 and get Wincoop beer. So that's that is a score. Wow, I'm 469 00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:04.239 actually probably gonna do that nice. I'll I might try it too, and 470 00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:09.679 then uh and I like it too and instead of well, well we'll lose 471 00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:14.800 money to make money on it, yeah, well hey, that's that's what 472 00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:21.599 That's what podcasting is all about, right, losing money. It's it's about 473 00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:24.440 informing people, you see, you see that's what they want. They want 474 00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:29.320 they want to make this into a moneymaking operation. I'm devoted to the truth 475 00:41:29.880 --> 00:41:32.800 listeners you see, this is exactly this is exactly what I told you about 476 00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:45.360 six months ago. This one just oh man, So I guess that's our 477 00:41:45.400 --> 00:41:50.119 way of saying to hell, to hell with our gymital jamble. Let's let's 478 00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:53.280 let's see what. Let's see what the enlightened people who are who are somehow 479 00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:58.360 nice enough to send us emails have to say, yeah, well hold on 480 00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:01.320 there, Flora, Um, I don't want to alarm you, but usually 481 00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:12.159 using um, the uh blurry photos underground crypto cryptographic league mate, so what 482 00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:17.519 using the blurry photos ultra secret underground cryptograph. One time, Pat I was 483 00:42:17.559 --> 00:42:23.039 able just to decode a few messages from the unturn nets. Oh yeah, 484 00:42:23.079 --> 00:42:36.880 really they sound a little something like this hash. The only thing I was 485 00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:45.400 getting on my shortwave radio was what do you got? What do you? 486 00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:51.719 I'll tell you what we heard once again from a gray Cat's fancy feast. 487 00:42:51.800 --> 00:42:55.079 I missed you. Hey, great to have another pun from you. Great 488 00:42:55.119 --> 00:43:00.360 cat hits us with what we were asking for for a solid month year. 489 00:43:00.800 --> 00:43:05.400 Really, yes, we remember when we couldn't. When we wanted our listenership 490 00:43:05.480 --> 00:43:09.719 to come up with a name for blanc October yea just October wasn't cutting it 491 00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:13.519 right in the big mistake we had is we should have just been wishing for 492 00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:16.559 a listenership at that point, right right, we were really ahead of the 493 00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:21.880 horses on that cart.

Who knows I love a lurker secretly waiting watching in the 508 00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:28.119 corner. You're like that ranger at the table over there with that smoke and 509 00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:31.079 circle in your head that hoods John. Really stop now, are you? 510 00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:36.840 Eric Gorning? Is that what you're doing? I don't know.

We'll just we'll find a time. We'll 513 00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:51.360 find an episode that it works on the smoke encircle his head and his cowl. 514 00:44:51.840 --> 00:44:59.239 Yeah. The first one was called Feeling Eric Gorny. Uh. The 515 00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:06.199 second one is called Harry feed Oh never mind, you win, you win. 516 00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:10.239 I don't want those red back to someone who is far better and literate. 517 00:45:13.519 --> 00:45:19.920 Jerrold hits us with a great email about our TWA Naku episode episode It's 518 00:45:19.960 --> 00:45:23.800 hard to say anything after TWA Naku. Jerald makes a great point about our 519 00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:28.320 TWA Knaku episode. He says, every time I hear someone say ancient humans 520 00:45:28.360 --> 00:45:30.280 couldn't have done that, I cringe. We've done some amazing stuff with what 521 00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:34.960 we had within just the last two thousand years, but that doesn't mean we 522 00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:38.079 were idiots beforehand. And that's exactly what we were talking about. Um and 523 00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:43.079 uh and he's absolutely right and uh and as he said it better than we 524 00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:45.239 did. Until I get introduced to an alien and can sort out for myself, 525 00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:49.679 it's if it's an idiot or not human ingenuity and skill will remain my 526 00:45:49.760 --> 00:45:53.840 primary suspect in these cases.
