really moving right right now. There
are one thousand UFO sightings reported around the

8
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,079
world every month. Ninety percent of
these sightings can be explained, but ten

9
00:00:50,119 --> 00:00:56,159
percent cannot. Officially and unofficially,
the US military has been investigating the UFOs

10
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,840
since nineteen forty seven. Their top
secret goal is to mine out behind these

11
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:07,760
unexplained sightings. The Pentagon classifies them
as unusual airborne anomalies, but a better

12
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,239
term is X files. Join us
now as Mac one one and Commander Cobra

13
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:19,200

baffle even the US military. This is

Mac Maloney's military X files, and
now here's Mac Maloney. Well, good

15
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,840

Maloney's Militrank's on show here on the Distant

16
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,840

Mac Maloney. What a show we have

17
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,959
in store for you tonight. The
first I have to introduce the members of

18
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,439
the posse, and I have to
apologize what upfront of girls. Yeah,

19
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,879
you may still need your big box
of clinics, and your fan and your

20
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,519
misters and your economy pack of wives, but the very famous JJ is not

21
00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:51,760
here tonight, not here on a
secret mission called the Way at the last

22
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:56,719
minute, but he's here in spirit. However, girls you're not shouldn't be

23
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,480
completely disappointed because up there in the
Great to Maine, I think right right

24
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:06,920
now and his compound, formerly his
book, they know him is Cocoa on

25
00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:10,240
the street, but we know him
as Commanda cobra cec Addy. Mac has

26
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:15,240
always acause you do join the formation
speak shoes that might have to fill with

27
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:21,719
the JJ absence tonight. What is
he about? Fourteen and a half.

28
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,240
I'd just like to add that we
are in multiple feet of snow up here

29
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:32,280
in the Great White North. Animals
are frolicking in at least two to three

30
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:36,560
feet of the snow light powder.
It's the middle of June. Why is

31
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:42,000
it still snowing up there? Oh? You know that's so low climate.

32
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:46,039
Is there something that we just live
like we like watching television up here in

33
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,759
May? Mm hmm okay, hey
listen. I was reading something about remember

34
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,719
the TV show Murder? She wrote, Yes, okay, didn't that take

35
00:02:55,719 --> 00:03:01,439
place in a town in Maine?
Crabs something, crab tree, crab,

36
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,719
crabbit cove someone added up. I
mean, murders are in that place,

37
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:13,360
like over the twelve years the show
was on and it was one hundreds of

38
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,319
muri. Yeah, there's more.
It's it's better than Chicago. Everyone in

39
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:21,759
the place get killed. You didn't
buy the population, if you I mean,

40
00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:23,639
if you did it by the population, right, wouldn't someone come in

41
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,240
and say, hey, something odd, there's something wrong. But she solved

42
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,840
them all. Not in Maine.
It was just another thing. I'm just

43
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,479
telling you, not me, okay. But it is the great state of

44
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,800
Man. It's a great place.
If you like seafood, it is a

45
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:44,120
great state. It is so and
maple syrup, you know, all those

46
00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:52,439
kinds of cheap weed. Hag on, who's listen? Uh? Switchy is

47
00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:54,840
going to be joining us. Uh. Information is that what they say when

48
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,879
someone joins the lake? What's what's
the going to join the formation? Is

49
00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:02,560
why we're why we're in to the
fun changing, ever changing target at mcwully's

50
00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:08,599
called here a twelve Wow. Okay, so a number of people be joining

51
00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:13,439
us in a little while. But
really classing up the show right from the

52
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:16,240
beginning is our good friend Valerie and
Lafasso. Hi, Val, how are

53
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:21,040
you doing? I'm doing good.
I'm really excited to be back here with

54
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:25,839
you guys. Coco said it off. Yeah, but I'll say again,

55
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,519
can I say you look ravaging as
well? He already said it. We

56
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,920
have him on Faye. Yeah,
okay, it's like an early It's like

57
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,959
an early gift when you see Bell
and she's got this kind of glow to

58
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,120
me, right, we don't have
it, so when we see it,

59
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,959
we know it. Jay I thank
god this is radio because if they saw

60
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,600
this, it looks like dim balls
and a certain So there you go.

61
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,800
I get the dim palm spot.
So listen. Soette, what's going on

62
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,759
with you? What's you know?
You have a new book coming out?

63
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:00,959
Right? Yeah, it's already out. I re released the first two books

64
00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:05,319
in my series. The second editions
have been released and the third book in

65
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,439
the series is out for the first
time ever. So what's the name?

66
00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:14,079
Super exciting for me? Okay,
the titles of the names. The title

67
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,160
of the series is Tangled Web of
Friends. The first book is Summer Camp,

68
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:25,399
the second book is The Witches of
Fishcale Pond, and the third book

69
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,839
is titled The Last Hour. Oh, okay, let's go to Summer Camp.

70
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,319
What's that about's? What can you
tell us about that? So Summer

71
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:39,560
Camp follows the main character, whose
name is Josie, who is not a

72
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:45,000
hiker or camper, but her parents
send her on this week long hiking camp

73
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:51,000
actually up in the Cataden area of
Maine is where they go, and through

74
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,519
a series of events, she starts
seeing ghosts while she's out there, and

75
00:05:55,519 --> 00:06:00,360
they get stranded in an abandoned house. And so this this series is going

76
00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:03,680
to follow her and the friends that
she makes on this trip and how she

77
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,920
deals with being able to talk to
ghosts and how it affects the people around

78
00:06:08,959 --> 00:06:12,879
her, the relationships she has with
living and dead people and all that sort

79
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,199
of thing. And if people were
interested in grabbing where would one find these

80
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,959
They are available on Burns and Noble
Amazon. The first two are in ebook

81
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,720
as well, but they're on all
the major you know booksellers online. Okay,

82
00:06:28,759 --> 00:06:30,240
so what's the name of the series
again? What's the name of the

83
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:36,399
series again? Tangled Web of Friends? Okay, and so just go to

84
00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:45,399
Amazon dot com and look up st
Entangled Web of Friends? Right, Yeah,

85
00:06:45,519 --> 00:06:48,079
are these g rated? Are they
slightly rated? I almost said,

86
00:06:48,079 --> 00:06:54,680
actually, I'm guessing they're definitely not
r rated. I actually my original editor

87
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,480
is pretty strict about language, and
I'm pretty grateful for that. But you

88
00:06:59,519 --> 00:07:02,639
know, people get nervous because it's
ghosts. It's scary, but it's they're

89
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:06,360
really more about the relationships than about
scare. I mean, there is some

90
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,519
scary parts, of course, you
know, you're dealing with things that we

91
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,600
don't quite understand, so that can
be scary. But I've had kids as

92
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,160
young as ten years old read them
up to people in their eighties, and

93
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:24,800
they all that brings in most of
the posse. They're right there, right,

94
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:30,720
year old category up for the rest
of us. Switch all we have

95
00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:33,480
to switch. Remember this is on
tape. Yeah, yeah, that sounds

96
00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:36,040
good. You know, I can
see you know, people getting hit that

97
00:07:36,199 --> 00:07:41,279
people love to get scared, people
love ghost stars, you know, and

98
00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:46,240
is an endless well of ghost stories. Yeah, and you know these aren't

99
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:49,720
necessarily your average ghost stories. You
know. I've been lucky enough. I

100
00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:56,040
learned that I was a medium while
writing these books, so I've been able

101
00:07:56,079 --> 00:07:59,279
to put my own experiences into a
lot of it, as well as bringing

102
00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:03,360
the experience of all the different intuitives
that I've met over you know, the

103
00:08:03,439 --> 00:08:07,480
last twelve or so years that I've
been working on these. So, so

104
00:08:07,519 --> 00:08:13,879
you are you are an I think
it's yes, empathic medium? Yes,

105
00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:16,480
a medium? Okay, right?
Is that a gift? Is that a

106
00:08:16,519 --> 00:08:22,240
gift or a burden? Or is
it all depends on the minute of the

107
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:28,399
day. No, it's it's mostly
a gift. Once you learn how to

108
00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:33,120
understand and manage the energy, it
can be very draining, you know,

109
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:39,480
and paths can be very susceptible to
depression and anxiety because we're constantly feeling the

110
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,480
energy of everything around us and we
don't always know what's going on, or

111
00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:48,120
it's just so overwhelming, so we
need to take care of ourselves and charge

112
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,639
ourselves and hang on to as much
energy as possible. So it can be

113
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,000
tough, but once you know how
to manage it, it's pretty amazing.

114
00:08:56,279 --> 00:09:01,679
I think this might be a tough
two hours. Hopefully you're hang in with

115
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:05,240
us. We can be as charging
or as charging as possible. Just tell

116
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,039
us what, you know, what
mode we're in, right? But you

117
00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:11,080
know, I don't want you to
think though that like you're doing something to

118
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,000
drain me. It's it's just how
it is. Everything on this planet has

119
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:20,240
energy, Everything has the potential to
be draining or charging, and it's just

120
00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:24,960
figuring out which is which and how
I have to move throughout those situations.

121
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,960
Well. And really, from what
I've experienced, a lot of people have

122
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,600
some empathic tendencies, except maybe sociopaths. But I mean, I only said

123
00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:41,600
I don't, but of course I
do, right, right, right I

124
00:09:41,799 --> 00:09:45,080
I I, yeah, I don't
know what I have to do the truth,

125
00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:48,600
but I know that people there are
definitely people who are a little bit

126
00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:52,120
more tuned into things than other people, There's no doubt about it. And

127
00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:56,320
one of them. Yeah, and
you know, some some people definitely seem

128
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,120
thrown into it. You know,
they're not given a choice. It's that

129
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,639
happened to them, no matter what
if they want it or not, and

130
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,639
then other people really want it and
learn how to figure it out, right,

131
00:10:07,759 --> 00:10:11,440
yeah, now, and then there's
everybody in between. So the reluctant

132
00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:15,679
medium, how about that. There's
a TV show. You know, she's

133
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,879
a medium, she can do it
all, but she's kind of reluctant to

134
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,399
be like that. But people are
always coming to her from how we can

135
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,320
put her in a little fishing village
in Maine. Come on, rights itself

136
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,440
anyway? Okay, So anyway,
so you never know, you never know

137
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,840
it was right. You know,
then we can we could start, we

138
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:37,639
could be ourselves in it. So
listen, Coco, I want to thank

139
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:39,519
you for the coffee beer, by
the way, the coffee beer that you

140
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:46,320
gave. Yes are you? Are
you kind of digging that, I'll be

141
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:48,759
honest. You know, if Christmas, Coco gave me a four pack?

142
00:10:48,919 --> 00:10:56,639
Was it a four pack? Yes, of ribbon had coffee, hard coffee,

143
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,240
right, So it's a malted liquor, which I don't and all you

144
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,759
have to drink two or three regular
beers before you drink one, you know.

145
00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:09,159
That's I mean, just that's that's
my well safety tip, safety tip

146
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,320
of pat to mac or making sure
you line up your proper beer arrangement,

147
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,879
because no one likes to go into
battle and not have the proper order.

148
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,639
You have to kind of make sure
a few kids out there, because you

149
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,879
know, Paps is the drink of
the cool kids, right. So the

150
00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:31,639
story behind my grandfather, the maternal
one love Paps blue Ribbon, and I

151
00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:35,200
remember sneaking that that probably the first
time having a drink and almost throwing up.

152
00:11:35,879 --> 00:11:41,200
No takeaway from Paps flu ruine.
But I've heard everyone raving about this

153
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,039
hard copy. And when I threw
a party not too long ago, I

154
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:50,240
didn't have enough Paps because the younger
set was amongst me, and they were

155
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,279
kind of put out that things like
He's find German Ales a couple of local

156
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,200
micro brewis, and Sam Adams was
a fan their palate. They didn't.

157
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,799
So I tried. I tried to
keep you, did you yeah? Keep

158
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:11,120
young? Yes, said why did
you do that to those kids? Work?

159
00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:16,120
I did? They all get a
trophy before they left? Though I'm

160
00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:20,159
with you, I mean, you
know, hey, now you're going into

161
00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:22,440
the sociology. Okay, we don't
want to go down, not with Jake,

162
00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:26,000
not with one one. Not here. If I was going to make

163
00:12:26,039 --> 00:12:31,759
a trophy. I would glue al
can on a piece of two by four,

164
00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:35,159
right, yeah, and I know
you know someone who could do that.

165
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,919
Yeah, just say here it is
I did this. Yeah, it's

166
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,039
you know that that beer has been
around nothinking down this road. That beer

167
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,080
has been around forever. You know, it used to be basically an economy

168
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,200
beer. Someone bought it and they
and they yep, yep to fight.

169
00:12:48,639 --> 00:12:50,399
I'm saying that in an advertising term. You know, it's the same old

170
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:54,519
beer. There's no sense in paying
the buck fifty more for the last.

171
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,639
But anyway, that's just me.
So why don't we have a top ten

172
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,320
tonight top and weird warships? How
about that? Do you want to do

173
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,159
it? Now? You know,
when do we do this? Why don't

174
00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:07,200
we take a break and then we'll
do it? Okay, see if we

175
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,200
can pick up some stragglers along the
way. What do you say, Cochle,

176
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,960
I'm looking at you. You never
know, you never know the net.

177
00:13:15,159 --> 00:13:18,720
When we're on a CAP tonight,
folks, for the military folks,

178
00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:22,320
they know what that means. Folks. We're on a combat air control tonight.

179
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,679
Right out there working the airspace is
a three perch in formation tonight and

180
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,840
who knows We're going to snag in
the net. That's yeah, okay,

181
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:37,559
there's a joke this somewhere, but
I know what. Thanks? Thanks me.

182
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,519
Why don't we take a break now, and when we come back,

183
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,000

00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:05,080
to total stranger. This story has
got nothing to do with the Bruins Gang.

201
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,679
It's what happened with Grandma. I
was wondering if those were sadow messacres

202
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:15,480
of straps or something. But I
digress from what I don't know. Get

00:16:07,519 --> 00:16:14,480
doing. She's always a privileged for
me. He's saluting me. I gotta

210
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,639
salute him. JJ is on a
secret mission called the Way. At the

211
00:16:17,679 --> 00:16:21,840
last second, he won't be joining
us girls. Sorry, Switchy is coming

212
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,159

show like putting you a dose of
flowers on the table, A good friend.

214
00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:33,440
Valerie Laso, Hi, Val,
how are you doing? Hi?

215
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:38,279
How are you? Zoom has to
work on their audio portion of things.

216
00:16:38,279 --> 00:16:42,440
We're great, Cocoa and I are
great, and thanks for joining us tonight.

217
00:16:42,519 --> 00:16:47,120
You look, we've already established you
look ravishing tonight. We've said that

218
00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:51,120
three or four times tonight. Let's
move on. So listen, we have

219
00:16:51,159 --> 00:16:55,039
a ton I think what she's saying
is mac let's move on. We don't

220
00:16:55,039 --> 00:16:57,919
need to talk about her ravishiness anymore. Baby towards the end, Okay,

221
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,559
that's what those hands say. But
she's an EmPATH. She already knew that.

222
00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:03,759
She knew she knows he's an empaths. She already knew that, So

223
00:17:04,279 --> 00:17:11,680
she knew that then that she was
descending in we have a top ten uh

224
00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:14,920
list. But listen, we've just
had a guest joined us. Should we

225
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:15,599
bring him in on the air?
What do you think, Coco? Or

226
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:18,920
should we stop the show again?
It's we're only not even no, no,

227
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,039
no, absolutely bring in. This
kind of rolling rumble is always fun.

228
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,799
Wow, yeah you will see watch
this train wreck. Okay, here

229
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:30,480
we go, because you've got to
tell people before they're on the air that

230
00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:37,000
they're on the air. Here we
go, Well, here we go.

231
00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:41,480
This is live. Hi Matthew,
how are you doing? Matthew? Hi,

232
00:17:41,559 --> 00:17:45,240
Matthew, do this is what you
go through? Hi? Matthew,

233
00:17:45,599 --> 00:17:48,440
Good, how are you doing?
Hey? Listen, we're on the air.

234
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:49,599
Okay, we're on the air.
I just have to say that.

235
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:55,839
Okay, we brought you in hot
as they say, listen, command the

236
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,799
Kober. He's with us. He's
off camera right now. But this is

237
00:17:57,799 --> 00:18:03,279
a good friend valleye of So she's
the pretty one. She's joining us tonight.

238
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,240
She's an mpathy, she's an mpath. So watch what you say if

239
00:18:07,279 --> 00:18:10,319
you know what I mean? Okay
I will. And it was still her

240
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,559
friend that we got connected. Her
friend Mike I think, was the connecting

241
00:18:14,599 --> 00:18:18,200
force who got us together. But
yeah, we can talk about that later.

242
00:18:18,279 --> 00:18:22,079
So how are you doing you're out
in California, right, Arizona,

243
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,720
Arizona close, okay, and just
one right, that's practically the same things

244
00:18:26,759 --> 00:18:32,000
for most of us in the East. One earthquake away and you got the

245
00:18:32,039 --> 00:18:36,599
beachfront property. But so and you
were on if I remember right, you

246
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:41,799
were on the aircraft carry the USS
Teddy Roosevelt as a cryptologist at the same

247
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:48,279
time the pilot's on from that ship
photograph what we call the gimbo Ufo.

248
00:18:48,599 --> 00:18:52,160
Please tell me I got all that
right? Yes, you did? All

249
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,359
right? Is exactly right? That
was back in twenty fifteen. Good for

250
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,799
you, Mackie. Yet twenty fifteen
and you were the when it happened.

251
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,759
And how long have you been out
of the service now since March? I

252
00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:10,400
got out in March. And it's
something we've talked before. You run a

253
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,680
couple of months ago, and we've
talked about that, we talked about in

254
00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:15,880
depth. But you are a cryptologist. It's kind of a interesting job on

255
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,680
a ship like that. But there's
a lot of things you can't tell us.

256
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,079
But one thing you did tell us
is that you would never go back

257
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,480
in the service. You lated your
time there, but you would never go

258
00:19:25,559 --> 00:19:29,200
back, right, do I have
that, right, Yeah, that's right.

259
00:19:29,599 --> 00:19:32,839
I mean just just because of everything
that's happened to me, I've learned

260
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,319
a lot about life, and I
just don't think that the service is the

261
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,160
place for me, be honest with
you. Wow, interesting, but it

262
00:19:40,319 --> 00:19:45,400
was it was you know, the
kind of the catalyst and and what brought

263
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,519
me to this experience. So I
can't say that I regret it. All

264
00:19:48,559 --> 00:19:49,440
right. If it wasn't for them, you wouldn't be here now, that

265
00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:53,480
type of thing, right right,
Well, listen, you know what,

266
00:19:53,519 --> 00:19:56,160
Matthew. I know you have a
book that's coming up. But we're in

267
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,920
the middle of a thing called Top
ten. We had warships. You want

268
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:06,319
to join us for that? Sure? Okay? Hoping you'd say yes when

269
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,599
we do the top ten weird washships. Valerie's going to read down the list.

270
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:17,920
Number ten, please out. Ten
is a mouthful. The Novgorod Russian

271
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:23,079
ship Yes, go ahead. Coco
Russian Nangarad is a monitor type ship coastal

272
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:30,079
defense ship, sometimes referred to in
our circles as the flying saucer ship because

273
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:36,000
it was pretty much circular. Went
yeah, nineteen hundred, nineteen hundreds.

274
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:41,839
It had a minor role in the
Russio Turkey War. In popular naval myth,

275
00:20:41,079 --> 00:20:45,920
it is considered one of the worstship's
worst have worships ever built? But

276
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,359
that doesn't really quite pan out when
you look at what it did. It

277
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:56,720
was decommissioned in nineteen o three and
it was scrapped in nineteen eleven. It's

278
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:02,000
real claim to fame being an iron
Clyde type chip go based on a Scottish

279
00:21:02,079 --> 00:21:07,599
naval architect. Yes, they built
the beam as wide as possible. That's

280
00:21:07,599 --> 00:21:10,720
why during out the circulars. It's
a circular ship, it's a ship.

281
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,160
It's a ship that's circular vessel in
a circle. Okay. In the the

282
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,599
Za fell in love with this design, which is what they built two of

283
00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:22,400
them, and he fell in love
with this particular design. He said it

284
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,000
would be cool to have a circular
ship, right, but then a fleet.

285
00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:30,440
Yeah, But then they started shooting
cannons off and they it turns out

286
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,480
that the thing spun like crazy when
you shut off. He can't. It

287
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,559
would start to get into really weird
moments when I do it. Thing so

288
00:21:37,759 --> 00:21:41,799
didn't pan out happen? Yeah,
Well, you know those Russians, you

289
00:21:41,839 --> 00:21:45,359
know, they're always willing to go
the extra amount. Okay, number nine,

290
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:53,119
please value top ten weird warships.
That's that's Wisconsin, US. Thats

291
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,000
Wisconsin. Okay, what this is. It's also known as the Great Lakes

292
00:21:57,039 --> 00:22:02,599
Aircraft Carrier. There is an aircraft
area in the Great Lakes, I think

293
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,240
Lake Superior, and they put it
there in World War Two. There's an

294
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:11,200
old paddle boat. They put a
top on it and it was rare because

295
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,000
there's a large navy base. Where
is that, coco when on the Great

296
00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:18,079
Leave in Chicago there's one. Also
there was one in Detroit as well.

297
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,519
Yeah, I think JJ was at
one of them. But anyway, they

298
00:22:21,519 --> 00:22:23,920
would train navy pilots there and Cago. They would go out and yeah,

299
00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:29,599
and and and practice landing and takeoff
on this aircraft carrier. And it's still

300
00:22:29,599 --> 00:22:32,240
there. They it's it's it's still
there. You know. They never know

301
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,839
when the football had to take it
out. But yeah, the USS Wisconsin

302
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,559
Great Lakes Aircraft carry Ever heard that
before Cocaine, Yes, he did,

303
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,319
Yes, And there was a wolverine
I believe. Also is another vessel that

304
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:52,920
was brought on as well, and
two of the best recovered I believe wildcats

305
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:59,359
and possibly one other Fighter worth because
when they when they lost their engines on

306
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,680
either take for landing, the cold
water of the Great Lakes actually preserve the

307
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,720
ship very very well and they are
on display at the Naval Aviation Museum in

308
00:23:07,799 --> 00:23:11,880
Pensacola because without the salt water,
obviously uh it caused the ships to the

309
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:17,200
cave being very very cold and didn't
break them down. Yeah wow, who

310
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:23,039
knows valley? Please next weird wash
it? Lomar Explore, the Glomar Explorer.

311
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,440
Yes, yes, you did,
the Glomar Explorer. First, I

312
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,319
need to put a small note that
my father did work for Howard Hughes at

313
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,880
one time. I always like to
throw an embarrass That's why the us NS

314
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:44,519
Hughes Glomar Explorer Tango Alpha Gulf one
ninety three deep sea drilling ship. Amazing

315
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:52,240
project. Howard Hughes the man of
of everything that is unconventional and unachievable within

316
00:23:52,319 --> 00:23:57,920
his grasp. About the ship,
Project Assourian, it was a CIA special

317
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:06,680
UH Director project to get the USSR
sub Kilo one two nine, which had

318
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:12,000
sunk. It is one of those
projects where they built a mechanical arm to

319
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:18,279
lift the submarine up from the floor
to recover it. There is two stories

320
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,240
running about how successful it was.
One says they got about thirteen percent of

321
00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:27,440
the ship. Another very well done
study says it's closer to eighty percent of

322
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,000
the ship. And they bring a
number of Soviet sales up, gave them

323
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,400
a burial at sea, and eventually
after the Cold War, the films of

324
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:41,480
that burial at sea were provided to
the Russian Navy for the sailors that were

325
00:24:41,519 --> 00:24:45,559
in turned. It is an interesting
ship in many many parts. At one

326
00:24:45,599 --> 00:24:48,039
point when it was no longer being
used and it kind of came out,

327
00:24:48,599 --> 00:24:53,400
a number of the science community wanted
to keep it as a national defense asset

328
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,559
because of what you could do was
very unique and it's just very expensive to

329
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:03,440
anything. They pitched it and on
fifteen June twenty fifteen and Zuhasan, China,

330
00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:11,599
Yes, ship was sent to a
chip breaking facility. Oh this ship

331
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,759
has two parts. About this ship
that it did is a mac maloney story.

332
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,119
It could have fit in any one
of his books that he wrote about

333
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,720
Everywhere Pirate Hunters. There was a
great scene where they talk about ships a

334
00:25:23,759 --> 00:25:27,240
place where ships are brought Oh yeah
apart, yeah, boomerang. I always

335
00:25:27,319 --> 00:25:30,599
think of that scene. Yep.
I always think of that scene of the

336
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:36,079
Glomark Explorer headed that way. Yeah, they take these huge ships what they

337
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,720
do, and this is after they've
been abandoned or whatever, sold off as

338
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:44,039
scrap, and they'll just put the
engines on full blast and run them up

339
00:25:44,079 --> 00:25:48,079
onto the shore. And then they
have these these workers they're they're they're all

340
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,039
over the kind of like the Middle
East and India and stuff. Whould you

341
00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:53,119
All they do is just you know, use torches and just you know,

342
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,680
cut them up hot. Thousands and
thousands of people working at these places.

343
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,119
Every day. They have, you
know, up to three or four dozen

344
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,279
deaths every day from accidents, and
they pay them fifty cents a month and

345
00:26:04,319 --> 00:26:08,960
that kind of thing, you know. But that's what happens to your super

346
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,240
tankers these days. Have you ever
heard of that, Matthew, Now you

347
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,519
are kind of close to all the
spooky stuff that happens in the navy.

348
00:26:15,519 --> 00:26:21,039
You ever hear about the Glomark Explorer. No, I've never heard of that.

349
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,799
So it was it was a big
ship, but it had a claw

350
00:26:22,839 --> 00:26:29,160
run. I imagine James Bond movie
or a cartoon with a big claw in

351
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,720
the Russian sub at tank. We
knew where it was, and they wanted

352
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,319
to get you know, their missiles
and the secret technology of their missiles,

353
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,920
set et cetera. So they Howard
hughes pace for this you know ship that

354
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,920
has a big claw. So they
sailed out there and you know, it

355
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:51,200
wasn't made public feed years later.
But what happened was, as Coco says,

356
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,440
there's two stories. One of them
is it picked up a little bit

357
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,559
of it and they got some stuff. But they're never going to tell the

358
00:26:55,599 --> 00:26:59,759
Russians that they picked up you know, eighty percent of it. But supposedly

359
00:26:59,759 --> 00:27:02,759
they did get a lot more of
it, and they brought up these sails.

360
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,880
And it was when Yeltsin was the
president of Russia and we had kind

361
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,839
of good relations with them. I
think they would have done it anyway because

362
00:27:08,839 --> 00:27:12,319
of that little navy you know sale
thing. But they did take They gave

363
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:17,319
him a burial sea. They videotaped
it, and they gave to the Russians

364
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:18,759
and said, you know, at
least we honored them that type of thing.

365
00:27:19,599 --> 00:27:22,920
Yeah, nice touch. One other
thing to add to this, mac

366
00:27:22,079 --> 00:27:26,039
Yes, I actually saw this ship
when it was in Mobile, Alabama and

367
00:27:26,079 --> 00:27:27,759
the port there it was being When
it was sold, it was turned into

368
00:27:27,759 --> 00:27:33,640
a deep sea drilling ship, real
mineral and oil expiration. And it was

369
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,599
in Mobile, Alabama, And I
didn't realize it at the time what I

370
00:27:38,599 --> 00:27:44,759
was looking at. Years later I
put kill a good year. I was

371
00:27:44,799 --> 00:27:47,599
like ninety seven, ninety eight someplace
in there. The only other story I

372
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,960
remember about it is that when Nixon
was president, right as he was about

373
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,119
to leave, he was in San
Diego doing a tour of the San Diego

374
00:27:55,279 --> 00:27:59,680
Naval Shipyard and that's where it was
at that time, and he said,

375
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,000
what is that I'd like to go
aboord it, and they wouldn't let them

376
00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:06,759
go abort it, you know,
because even the President didn't have the clearance

377
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,440
to go on this thing, you
know, which just tells you that they

378
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:15,240
can't do everything. So anyway,
Valerie, please the next a top ten

379
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:23,480
list of weird waships that then is
the USS Vesuvius. The USS Vesuvius.

380
00:28:23,559 --> 00:28:29,680
Okay, what was strange about this
ship? It was back then nineteen hundreds

381
00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:34,079
or so, was well, the
way that ships are armed now Matthew and

382
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,279
both Cocoa can correct me if I'm
wrong, but they basically naval guns are

383
00:28:38,279 --> 00:28:41,440
basically artillery guns that they put on
ships, and a lot of them are

384
00:28:41,519 --> 00:28:47,720
very powerful and so on. Okay, but they fire off shells. They

385
00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:52,039
propel shells just like a gun propels
a bullet. They propel shells. Shells

386
00:28:52,039 --> 00:28:56,440
go twenty miles, okay, and
then they blow up. The Vesuvius was

387
00:28:56,599 --> 00:29:00,759
used to shoot dynamite, is that
right, Coco. They used to.

388
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:07,920
They used to shoot dynamite at at
targets and you know, which would I

389
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,799
could see where that would have some
problems, you know, especially loading the

390
00:29:10,799 --> 00:29:15,279
gun and stuff like that. But
when it worked, they could shoot dynamite

391
00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:18,920
like two miles, but you couldn't
hear it coming because it was it was

392
00:29:18,039 --> 00:29:22,920
shot by compressed air. You know, you would use the dynamic as crazy

393
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,039
as it sounds, but they had
a ship that did this, and I

394
00:29:26,079 --> 00:29:29,880
think it was in the Spanish American
wall, and the enemy actually complained that

395
00:29:30,359 --> 00:29:33,200
we can't hear the shells coming.
So it's not fair type of thing.

396
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,680
It's not fair. But you know, having dynamite as your you know,

397
00:29:37,839 --> 00:29:41,440
weapon of choice is not a good
idea. And eventually it must have blown

398
00:29:41,519 --> 00:29:45,200
up or something, right, something, or they just got rid of it.

399
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,640
They decommissioned it before. Yeah,
I guess it was more the decommissioned.

400
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,039
As I told you, pop Air, I really think this was a

401
00:29:52,119 --> 00:29:56,000
shame that this isn't sitting in some
port as an Italian restaurant, because I

402
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,759
think it would be absolutely perfect.
Well you're Italian because you're a pot of

403
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,799
allion. No, because it's us. Okay, you know there's another thing.

404
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:07,839
What kind of a joke. It's
got to be a joke that someone

405
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,400
says, you gotta you gotta shift
to shooge the dynamite. Let's call him,

406
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:19,079
you know, USS for Suvie Wiley
Wiley Coote would acme anyway, Valerie,

407
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,960
how are we doing? You're an
mpath Can you sense the vibe of

408
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,359
the room? One throw it away? It's pretty good, it's good.

409
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,880
One through it through this long list. Okay, that's probably all coming from

410
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,079
six. Okay, number six,
please, Valorie. Number six is the

411
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,880
U S S Tuna fish. Now
see this is going to go nowhere.

412
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,200
I could switch. He isn't here. This is it's inside hockey here.

413
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:45,039
But carry so should we just continue
on type of thing or should we do

414
00:30:45,079 --> 00:30:47,240
the no? No, no,
you need you need you need to throw

415
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:52,720
you need to love the grenade.
And then in replay he'll he'll call you

416
00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:57,559
up and that's drunking doughnut least craziness. Yeah, the one that said donuts.

417
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:02,440
Look, he was in he was
in subs for four years or something

418
00:31:02,519 --> 00:31:03,799
like that. But what was his
name? His sub like the U S.

419
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,680
S. Albacore or something. And
I always said, why don't they

420
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,680
just caught the toleman? Okay,
maybe it's halibate, but why is it

421
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,359
in the US tuna? Of course, the one here in Portstal. Oh,

422
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,319
that's what I'm saying, right,
Okay, U S. S.

423
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,640
Tuna? No US is tuna fish? Does skip Jack? Is they?

424
00:31:19,799 --> 00:31:23,119
They've they named all their submarines.
You don't think I don't think they did

425
00:31:23,119 --> 00:31:26,440
it, Charlie Tuona fish. I
didn't look it up and didn't look it

426
00:31:26,519 --> 00:31:29,920
up, but I'm pretty sure they
didn't do it to Okay, all right,

427
00:31:30,359 --> 00:31:32,839
So next one, please all,
and this is going to be about

428
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,880
real names of ships. Top ten
Top ten weird wash hips please Alarie number

429
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:47,119
five five five weirdly named British ships. Okay, here's the Royal Navy rule

430
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,440
b Tannia Britannia of the seas.
Right, Okay, we have a lot

431
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,640
of ships like we have a lot
of in principle, Boxer, and they

432
00:31:53,759 --> 00:31:59,759
also have a line of ships,
the Dainty, the HMS Pansy, HMS

433
00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:07,559
cock Shopper, the HMS Spanker.
I looked this up prepare for the show.

434
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,039
I would like to tell everyone that
Matt is doing his best, trying

435
00:32:10,039 --> 00:32:14,839
to hold it together face and it's
just barely hanging on. He's about six

436
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,279
and a half. He's getting ready
to just let it go. The United

437
00:32:17,319 --> 00:32:21,119
States Naval Institute. When I looked
this up, maxin, hey, be

438
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:27,200
prepared for this today. Yes,
I quote the following part soft names are

439
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:31,240
bad for morale end quote, as
was put in a journal of the Naval

440
00:32:31,799 --> 00:32:36,160
Study and Handbooks. Oh yeah,
okay, so I'm just going to leave

441
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,599
that where it lays right there.
But let's believe for the audience to didn't

442
00:32:38,599 --> 00:32:43,200
hear it the first time. Let's
be names the real name bad for morale.

443
00:32:43,319 --> 00:32:46,799
End quote. HMS Dainty, Dansy, Pansy, Cock Shopper, Good,

444
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:55,039
and Spankers in what world ships of
the line. Hey, where are

445
00:32:55,079 --> 00:33:00,319
you in from, Sailor, I'm
from I'm in from the Spanker. Yeah,

446
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,000
that's gonna go. That's gonna get
your breach rate horrible. I guess

447
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,759
I'm in from the Pansy. Who
who I could tell that by the way

448
00:33:08,759 --> 00:33:15,279
you walked in sell it? Who
in their right mind that doesn't have the

449
00:33:15,319 --> 00:33:19,880
greatest sense of humor in the world. We go through all. You know,

450
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,920
these ships are cheap. You know
you're gonna throw a couple million bucks

451
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,880
into any kind of a naval warship. Why would you call it the USS

452
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:30,799
Pansy? Is it? Does it
not resonate with you that that is not

453
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:40,119
the thing? The scholarship I'm asking
Matthew, you would know there's no this.

454
00:33:40,119 --> 00:33:46,799
This is an indefensible position for me. They have been in the right

455
00:33:46,839 --> 00:33:52,000
mind since they lost the revolution,
so in my opinion. So with that

456
00:33:52,039 --> 00:33:53,359
said, when we go on to
the name, Matthew, do you agree

457
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,599
with me? Do you agree that
that is not it's probably bad form to

458
00:33:57,759 --> 00:34:02,519
name a ship the HMS Pansy.
Oh yeah, I don't even understand how

459
00:34:02,559 --> 00:34:07,839
something like that would happen. That
is just it's gonna be a the HMS

460
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:15,920
Dainty Sank, a really bad bad
ship. I'm going to pay this my

461
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:21,679
friends. When I hear this good
thing one woman is because his wife is

462
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,719
British and we have a lot of
British listeners, right, so we're only

463
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:31,440
just right right, cool Britannia.
Stick with the vindictive, invincible, courageous.

464
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:36,239
Those are the names to stick with. Gang, the Dainties, Pansies,

465
00:34:36,519 --> 00:34:39,599
the cock choppers, fans, that's
what the third one or something else?

466
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Cardoons? Can you? Can you
say the third one again? Slowly?

467
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:51,079
Because I think our audience is missing
the cock chopper? Who would name

468
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:57,079
a ship by that name? What
does it even mean other than chafing?

469
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,800
Look, Mac, you don't pay
me enough to d the research that I

470
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:06,639
did. Is this about money?
I'm not going undercover on this one.

471
00:35:07,039 --> 00:35:09,800
I'm not going undercover on this one. Good figure, thank you. So

472
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,239
why don't we do this? Why
don't we go on to the next one.

473
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,239
I can show this to missus Kobra. My gosh, look at the

474
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:21,719
sideways because she's a sailor sailing and
I'll twice to see time that I have.

475
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,280
So I'm going to deny everything up
here talking about pansies and dainties.

476
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:29,159
Oh yeah, this is going to
go well, okay, next ship please?

477
00:35:30,159 --> 00:35:36,519
Top ten weird waships please don't at
number four. The USS ice cream.

478
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:42,960
Okay, the USS ice cream,
Okay, real ship. Now I

479
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,840
did a little research in this because
I'm a volunteer COPA. And what happened

480
00:35:47,039 --> 00:35:51,119
was what what the Navy found out
in World War two. Now this is

481
00:35:51,159 --> 00:35:54,000
all in the Pacific and you get
in it's mostly naval ships and so on,

482
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,480
and marines which up out of the
navy. So it's a navy wall,

483
00:35:58,559 --> 00:36:02,400
let's say. And what they found
that was that because there was a

484
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:08,440
rule put into you know effect in
the nineteen fifteen where you cannot drink on

485
00:36:08,519 --> 00:36:14,679
naval ships. Correct, Matthew,
correct, no books. And did you

486
00:36:15,039 --> 00:36:16,960
but do people still bring booze on? Do they try to sneak booze on?

487
00:36:17,039 --> 00:36:22,440
I would, oh, you know
people trying? No comment, matt

488
00:36:22,519 --> 00:36:27,840
no combat, Why would I ask
you? But okay, So what they

489
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,800
found out was when they went to
war, and especially these guys are out

490
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,559
on the you know, these islands
in South Pacific and so on, what

491
00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:37,320
they found out was the next best
thing was ice cream, because everyone likes

492
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:42,880
ice cream. So the Navy bought
a big cement bodge and turned it into

493
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,519
a big refrigerator ship, and uh, and made an ice cream factory.

494
00:36:46,519 --> 00:36:51,480
And they used to see them up
and down the Pacific and go to ports

495
00:36:51,519 --> 00:36:53,719
basically, and everyone would come and
you'll get ice cream. They could make

496
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:58,599
seven hundred gallons of ice cream a
day, which is pretty good. It's

497
00:36:58,599 --> 00:37:02,239
pretty good, and you know,
ice cream to what they did is a

498
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,800
morale thing, which is kind of
funny, but they did as a morale

499
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,960
thing. And and they cut down
on all the boozing that the guys was

500
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,920
sneaking the booze on the ships,
because you know, they figured out ice

501
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,039
s cream and that won't kick out. So yeah, so the USS ice

502
00:37:16,079 --> 00:37:20,239
cream. Now, how do you
how do you how do you, you

503
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,840
know, scrap that ship? How
do you not keep that ship cool?

504
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:30,719
I don't know. The good ship
Lollipop isn't on the line anymore, the

505
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,320
ship ice cream isn't on the ship
on the line anymore. I just like

506
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,599
to say that the expression cup of
joke comes from the situation with the United

507
00:37:37,599 --> 00:37:42,880
States Navy Secretary of the Navy at
the time, who Josiah I can't remember

508
00:37:43,079 --> 00:37:46,559
Josiah's last name. Yes, who
removed alcohol from the ship. That's right.

509
00:37:46,639 --> 00:37:51,159
Yes, there was a lot of
and after that copy, of course,

510
00:37:51,199 --> 00:37:54,079
became the drink of choice in the
Navy, and cup of Joe was

511
00:37:54,159 --> 00:37:59,000
kind of a derivative and a derogatory
kind of thing. Back to the secretary

512
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,159
of the name, Well, I
think it's a good is a great point

513
00:38:01,599 --> 00:38:09,159
to mention Military Java Group. Philip's
our friend who produces a line of copies

514
00:38:09,199 --> 00:38:13,639
for each one of the services,
right, and part of the profits go

515
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,639
back to active duty and veteran members
of each one the services. Javajo dot

516
00:38:16,679 --> 00:38:23,199
com, Java Joe dot com Is
that right, Military Java Group dot com?

517
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,840
Okay, yes, military cop Yeah, he's a good guy. So

518
00:38:28,599 --> 00:38:31,760
why don't we do this one?
We go to the next weird washup please?

519
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:39,000
Vallery three the USS Nerwin the US
say is newon now, Well,

520
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:45,639
this thing has Why it's it's notoriety
is is that it's the smallest nuclear sub

521
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:51,360
ever made. It's forty feet long
and that might sound long, but it's

522
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,760
like two cars putting put two and
a half cars lined up, you know,

523
00:38:57,199 --> 00:39:00,960
has a nuke in it. And
it was missioned in the late sixties

524
00:39:01,039 --> 00:39:06,000
and it served the until two thousand
and eight. Now, when they built

525
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,679
this thing, this was the dream
child of Admiral Ricover. We could do

526
00:39:09,679 --> 00:39:14,159
a whole show on this guy,
Admiral Ricover, because he was crazy,

527
00:39:14,199 --> 00:39:17,119
but he was the head of the
Navy. He's the head of the Navy,

528
00:39:17,119 --> 00:39:20,639
and he did stuff no one else
can do. I mean some of

529
00:39:20,679 --> 00:39:23,000
the stuff he did was almost I
don't want to use the word miraculous,

530
00:39:23,079 --> 00:39:28,440
but just so outside the envelope,
like saying we'll have a nuclear sub in

531
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,639
a year, and he did it
that, you know, crazy kind of

532
00:39:30,639 --> 00:39:34,400
stuff like that about a real task
master, but ran the Navy and made

533
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,719
the Navy what it was back then. But anyway, so what he won,

534
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,880
and he was the father of the
nuclear Navy. So he had them

535
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:45,400
build this very small sub. I
think there's thirteen people on it, thirteen

536
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:50,320
people as the crew, and they
made it. They said it was a

537
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,800
research vessel. But what it used
to do was it used to do what

538
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:58,000
we were just talking about. It
used to search on the ocean floor off

539
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:04,199
of stuff that like the Middlelitary and
the CIA would want and at least identify

540
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:08,719
it. Now they used it like
when the Challenger exploded, that's the ship

541
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,360
that went down and catalog aby all
the stuff that was on the bottom of

542
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,639
the floor, just different Russian cables
and stuff like that. I think it

543
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:21,719
was involved when that Korean airline was
shot down, and Rickover was one of

544
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,159
these guys who he'd like to brag
about all this top secret stuff he's done.

545
00:40:24,199 --> 00:40:28,039
But anytime anyone would ask him about
the Neroin, which was also the

546
00:40:28,119 --> 00:40:30,599
NL one, supposedly, he would
shut up and he wouldn't talk about him.

547
00:40:30,599 --> 00:40:34,800
That's how valuable it was. So
I'm sure they got a replacement.

548
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,159
You know, you never hear about
it, but you would never would.

549
00:40:37,159 --> 00:40:39,840
But yeah, a nucleus of the
size of a bus. It's about the

550
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:44,480
size of a bus, thirteen people
in it can stay under water forever.

551
00:40:44,559 --> 00:40:47,000
It's crazy. But by news there
you go, Coco. Do you ever

552
00:40:47,039 --> 00:40:52,159
hear that I have. I've heard
a lot of interesting on the margin kind

553
00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:57,360
of things that was engaged in.
How it was transported, how would would

554
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,800
be attached to other ships. Yeah, ways that it was because of its

555
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:07,119
size, and it makes me think
with absolutely no I think to ground this

556
00:41:07,199 --> 00:41:15,559
against this particular classes ship probably has
a few siblings in its quiver. The

557
00:41:15,599 --> 00:41:17,559
big deal is there are many mini
subs, but they tend to be electric

558
00:41:17,599 --> 00:41:21,920
and they tend to run on battery
and they charge from a mothership and they

559
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:28,039
go do their business. This is
an amazing small and very very beautiful vehicle

560
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,000
and today on the water forever.
Matthew, do you you I can see

561
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,519
you're shaking your head. This sounds
like the Navy having something like this,

562
00:41:32,679 --> 00:41:39,639
right, yeah, Yeah, it's
certainly something that we would have. I

563
00:41:39,639 --> 00:41:43,360
mean, they weren't the gadgets.
I'm always when I think of the Navy,

564
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,840
I always think they weren't. They
weren't the gadgets. They did a

565
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,239
lot of gadget aircraft and all that, if you know what I mean.

566
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:53,159
Gadget aircraft just kind of off the
out of the envelope stuff airplane design,

567
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:58,559
right yeah, yeah, like experimental
type things. Right, they have the

568
00:41:58,559 --> 00:42:02,480
big modified stuff stuff they used to
be bombers and turn it into really high

569
00:42:02,639 --> 00:42:07,280
end, very interesting intelligence type Yeah. Interesting, yeah, in turn fighters

570
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:13,639
at the bombas right. Yeah.
The Pueblo is the spy ship that the

571
00:42:13,679 --> 00:42:16,760
North Koreans captured back in sixty eight, held the crew for about a year

572
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:21,079
and a half. Talk about doing
a show on a subject all the stuff

573
00:42:21,119 --> 00:42:24,079
that happened, and that was just
how it. I actually delivered the newspaper

574
00:42:24,159 --> 00:42:29,760
to one of the crew members and
mothers old Melrose, Massachusetts. Yeah,

575
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,360
just you know, the elevator pitch. Basically, one of our intelligence ships

576
00:42:32,519 --> 00:42:37,199
was taken over by the North Koreans, and the comedy of everrors that caused

577
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:42,559
them to actually take it over was
unusual. They bring the crew to North

578
00:42:42,639 --> 00:42:44,960
Korea and they hold them for about
a year and a half. But at

579
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,800
one point they took pictures of them, and the picture has been around the

580
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,719
world and the guys just sitting there
and they all got their middle fingers out.

581
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:52,960
Yeah, they got their arms crossed
or they're sitting kind of cross play,

582
00:42:53,199 --> 00:42:58,119
but they all have their middle fingers
out. You know. They got

583
00:42:58,159 --> 00:43:00,840
their asses beat for doing it.
But when around the world got the message

584
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:05,719
that they would just tell them North
Koreans, we'll cut this out, that

585
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,679
the food wasn't too good. Food
wasn't good. Thank you just saved me

586
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:12,599
eighteen fifty for that added thank you, Coco. Yeah, so they finally

587
00:43:12,599 --> 00:43:15,360
released them some kind of an exchange. Who knows, But it's an all

588
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,599
pretty strange story. USS Poblom.
But anyway, talk about strange stories.

589
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:27,880
Next ship please, number two,
The I four oh one sen Toku class

590
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:32,400
submarine. One of the great obsessions
of Command of Cobra is the satakup,

591
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:37,000
the four oh one, the four
zero zero, and the four H two's

592
00:43:37,039 --> 00:43:42,039
sister chips. Yes, these are
Japanese aircraft carriers. Again another tie in

593
00:43:42,079 --> 00:43:46,440
to the mac maloney The Universe of
Stories and Wingman. I had large,

594
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:52,159
true carrying submarines that attack the northeast
coast United States, and one of my

595
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:57,039
favorite renditions of the series of Wingman. I have been obsessed with this as

596
00:43:57,079 --> 00:44:02,199
equally as I am obsessed with the
Triangle Triangle aircraft. The mission of these

597
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:09,639
particular submarines was basically to have a
strike platform, which the United States maybe

598
00:44:10,159 --> 00:44:15,599
was able to create with the detectsub
with the Comahawk missiles later on. But

599
00:44:15,679 --> 00:44:21,679
they carried three e G six A
one torpedo bombers, sometimes referred to as

600
00:44:21,679 --> 00:44:24,760
the Syrian floating torpedo bombers. The
planes would all fold up. They had

601
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:30,519
a hangar on the top of the
submarine. These were until nineteen sixty five,

602
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:35,199
the largest submarines ever built. I
will at the end, because I

603
00:44:35,199 --> 00:44:37,920
know Mack will ask what's the largest
submarines? Will get to that in a

604
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:43,480
second, but their whole mission primarily
was of course, to land attack and

605
00:44:43,519 --> 00:44:47,519
the goal that the Japanese had and
they felt was pivotal because as Mackett indicated

606
00:44:47,559 --> 00:44:52,679
earlier in this segment, that the
war in the Pacific was a naval marine

607
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:57,840
war primarily, the war in Europe
was much more an army air force type,

608
00:44:58,199 --> 00:45:00,519
although we were going to cover a
subject where we are going to have

609
00:45:00,519 --> 00:45:04,800
some connection with this. So they
wanted to take out the Panama Canal.

610
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:08,800
If they could stop the Panama Canal
from moving ships, this would have greatly

611
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:13,719
inhibited what the Navy could do because
that needs to have to make the Great

612
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,000
Horn transit around South America, and
that water hits some of the worst water

613
00:45:17,079 --> 00:45:20,880
in the world in the certain times
of the year that you cannot make it

614
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,159
or you have to come all the
way around from the other side through either

615
00:45:23,199 --> 00:45:29,119
Suez or around Africa. The Cape
Horn. So a very interesting ship,

616
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:35,679
a very interesting capability story about the
ones that were captured, how they were

617
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,880
afraid that other countries were going to
get it, how they sunk and destroyed

618
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:45,039
some of them. It's an incredible
story. They did have some successful missions,

619
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,599
but they never had the ability in
forty five to really bring it to

620
00:45:47,639 --> 00:45:53,320
bear. I think though, if
you ever gave credit to the situation in

621
00:45:53,480 --> 00:46:00,159
Japanese at that time, the military's
use of biological weapons, if they had

622
00:46:00,199 --> 00:46:05,119
ever decided that they were going to
make the strike out to the west coast

623
00:46:05,119 --> 00:46:07,559
of the United States, they could
have really changed the course. If you

624
00:46:07,599 --> 00:46:12,159
can imagine these with these three aircraft, any submarines, if they could have

625
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,440
used it as a way to an
air disperse right biological or chemically. If

626
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:20,440
you can imagine these before you go
ahead back, if you can imagine these

627
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,639
big submarines and there are these,
you know, big humps on the back

628
00:46:22,679 --> 00:46:27,239
of them, I mean like really
really big submarines, and talk about gadgets.

629
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,800
They would you know, the the
the humps would kind of come apart

630
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:37,719
like a like a nut or something, and shell c shells and the wings

631
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,039
would fold out, the floats would
fold out, everything would fold out luck

632
00:46:40,079 --> 00:46:45,280
into place. And what they had
was these sea planes that could carry torpedoes

633
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,400
so they could put them on the
sub The sub would you know, transit

634
00:46:49,559 --> 00:46:52,719
from who knows where to the first
as Cocker said, the first plane was.

635
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:58,119
The whole objective was to blow up
the Panama Canal and that way,

636
00:46:58,159 --> 00:47:00,039
as you said, you know,
the transit between back and forth between the

637
00:47:00,039 --> 00:47:05,320
different coasts and the different walls would
have been just incredible. But they never

638
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,760
got that far that the technology didn't
get that quite that fun. But just

639
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:12,239
the whole idea of taking a and
having three of these huge ships and have

640
00:47:12,559 --> 00:47:15,760
some of them had and a couple
of them had three different planes on board,

641
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,960
just the way, you know,
just the ingenuity that to make something

642
00:47:19,039 --> 00:47:22,559
like that work, it's just amazing. It'd be hard to do today,

643
00:47:24,079 --> 00:47:29,639
I agree, but not impossible.
Not impossible. Yeah. So, and

644
00:47:29,679 --> 00:47:30,920
now is that it has been looked
at the United States, Nate, he

645
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,719
has looked at Oh really, I
just want to throw in the largest ship,

646
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,679
Russian typhon, the Russian Typhoon,
excuse me, yes, And now

647
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:44,599
that could be replaced with this super
tanker for l G that the Russians are

648
00:47:44,679 --> 00:47:49,280
talking about building, called the Pilgrim, and it would be the biggest sub

649
00:47:49,559 --> 00:47:54,639
in the world carrying liquid natural gas
sub as a supertanker under the water.

650
00:47:54,920 --> 00:48:00,639
That's just what could what could possibly
go wrong with a Russian building garage?

651
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:07,920
There we go carrying don't get anywhere
in these coasts, please Ivan. So

652
00:48:07,119 --> 00:48:14,519
anyway, we have number one in
the top ten weird waships number one.

653
00:48:14,719 --> 00:48:16,760
Please value valley before you say it. How are we doing tonight? Let's

654
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:23,400
just take the pulse again. It's
still good, not lagging at all,

655
00:48:25,119 --> 00:48:29,280
not going flat. You could say, okay, all right, there we

656
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:35,000
go. Number one. Please.
The number one is the MS hab a

657
00:48:35,079 --> 00:48:39,119
Cook. Okay, and I probably
butchered that. That's okay. No,

658
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:44,440
only only you could have said it
with such elements and such poise. Yes,

659
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:50,719
kind cook cock whatever, please Coco, save me a cook. HMS

660
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:58,239
Project a Cook is one of those
really incredible stories backstories of World War two.

661
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:02,880
Yes, it's it has everything you
would want for a major motion picture

662
00:49:04,039 --> 00:49:07,960
book. Deal all written in there. Winston Churchill spot into it. Lord

663
00:49:07,039 --> 00:49:12,800
Mountbatten's in the middle of it.
There are crazy scientists do stuff. Pike

664
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,559
is in the middle of it.
What it basically is is that we're going

665
00:49:15,599 --> 00:49:22,840
to use icebergs as ship carrying vessels
so that we can beat the U boats

666
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:27,960
in the North Atlantic. I will
throw a quick aside here icebergs. The

667
00:49:28,079 --> 00:49:30,599
quick point here that I want to
throw in is the great book that you

668
00:49:30,599 --> 00:49:34,920
can read about this written by Coast
Guard coastguardsman that brought that war the World

669
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:39,199
War two, it's called Bloody Winter. The U boat menace was absolutely destroying

670
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:46,119
the convoy lifeline that Britain needed to
because it was the last footstuff in Lake

671
00:49:46,119 --> 00:49:52,039
Patricia, Canada. A prototype boat
was built. They sold to Winston Churchill

672
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,480
that they can use ice as a
means to do this. So what they

673
00:49:54,519 --> 00:50:00,199
initially thought was we'll take a large
chunk of iceberg and we'll turn it into

674
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:05,079
a aircraft carrier and escort type ships. A couple of problems with that came

675
00:50:05,079 --> 00:50:08,000
out very quickly. One of them
was that most of the icebergs below the

676
00:50:08,039 --> 00:50:14,559
water, so the ability to control
it, the ability to propel it was

677
00:50:14,599 --> 00:50:17,679
not there, so they kind of
have abandoned that. Plus there was stability

678
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:22,360
issues that when parts of it changed. But what brought all these together,

679
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:28,519
the reason everyone was so caught up
with this thought was the International Ice Patrol

680
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:32,559
was brought together after the sinking of
the Tight Tapa. Yes, and it's

681
00:50:32,599 --> 00:50:37,880
actually a Coast Guard mission in the
United States. They would fly and mark

682
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:43,320
and try to destroy icebergs so that
they would not hit merchant ships. So

683
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,480
to this day, and I think
the mission actually ended not a few years

684
00:50:45,519 --> 00:50:50,159
ago. They would mark them and
actually report where they were and put a

685
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,760
GPS position. They would even mark
them with electronic markers in the later years.

686
00:50:54,119 --> 00:50:58,599
But they could blow these things up
easily. They would pound them with

687
00:50:58,639 --> 00:51:00,280
guns. They would hit with bombs, and this is what got people thinking

688
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:05,480
that ice is just an incredible way
to use this. So what they decided

689
00:51:05,519 --> 00:51:08,920
it was they were going to take
a refrigeration type unit in the middle of

690
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:14,480
it and build the iceberg around it. That they would put a more conventional

691
00:51:14,559 --> 00:51:17,639
type pipe deck or top of the
ship and then use ice around this large

692
00:51:17,679 --> 00:51:22,880
refrigeration unit. They built a scale
model much like we were talking with Workover's

693
00:51:22,599 --> 00:51:28,039
submarine. This was in Lake Patricia. It worked pretty well. In fact,

694
00:51:28,639 --> 00:51:32,039
you can be the sunken part of
this refrigeration unit's still in the lake

695
00:51:34,039 --> 00:51:37,960
in Canada. So they're building they
just had They just ran into proms because

696
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:44,159
they were just intermounable to make it
on paper and on the whiteboard of the

697
00:51:44,199 --> 00:51:47,440
blackboard of the day. This was
just too attractive not to take an attempt

698
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:52,360
because where they were there flying and
fighting was in really cold water. So

699
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,400
they would have been able to at
least maintain quite a bit of the capability,

700
00:51:55,519 --> 00:52:00,599
right, Yeah, and they were
going to they created now, they

701
00:52:00,639 --> 00:52:06,760
created their own kind of concrete slash
ice. This guy Pike is the guy

702
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:10,239
who they mixed it with. Yet
the Pike had kind of a formula where

703
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:15,360
he mixed that kind of a sawdust
kind of into the water to make that

704
00:52:15,079 --> 00:52:21,320
and that's what made it very very
strong, and it stayed very very solid

705
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,840
even as the temperatures went up a
couple of things that happened there is salt

706
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:28,480
water does not freeze. Although people
think it does freeze, it doesn't.

707
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,000
When it doesn't, it excludes the
salt out of it, and that's how

708
00:52:30,039 --> 00:52:34,679
the ice forms. That's why you
can eat sea ice. Okay. But

709
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:39,960
the name have Akouk, as we
were talking, comes from an old prophet

710
00:52:40,039 --> 00:52:45,199
in the Old Testament, and the
quote that it's based is be utterly amazed

711
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:50,280
or I am going to do something
in your days that if you would not

712
00:52:50,559 --> 00:52:53,280
believe, even if I told you
that's where that name came from, Well,

713
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:57,679
an Iceberg aircraft carrier would fit that
bill. I mean, what what

714
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,400
they what they sold Winston Churchill on
on Okay, this is how crazy this?

715
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:06,039
Now they're talking about making an iceberg
and making in an aircraft carrier and

716
00:53:06,079 --> 00:53:12,199
the one that they sold him when
like thousand feet long land on this hundreds

717
00:53:12,199 --> 00:53:16,199
of planes hundreds length. That's it
right there. You know the regular aircraft

718
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:20,800
carries. Back then we probably carried
maybe fifty sixty planes, maybe more.

719
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,119
Okay, these days they probably carry
you know how many math you're probably one

720
00:53:23,159 --> 00:53:30,440
hundred fifty maybe one hundred and fifty
total planes. I would say probably,

721
00:53:30,079 --> 00:53:35,320
I would think I have no idea
actually coverage wings. About sixty airplanes on

722
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,639
an area and how many wings are
there? Two wings on an aircraft just

723
00:53:37,639 --> 00:53:42,320
one one or two wheir wings on
it? Usually just one wing. And

724
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:46,280
you have about four squadrons or okay, yeah, okay, so sixty fighters

725
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:50,079
and bombers, and then you have
like the you know, the a wax

726
00:53:50,119 --> 00:53:52,000
ships and the refuels and all that
jazz. Is that would that would that

727
00:53:52,159 --> 00:53:57,920
count in the sixty Collie as part
of the planes. Yeah, you have

728
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,559
about sixty sixty five airplanes on an
air craft carrier of different types, and

729
00:54:00,679 --> 00:54:04,320
you have those that just come and
you know, maybe spend the day or

730
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,039
night type thing. And then go
back right require, Well, this this

731
00:54:07,159 --> 00:54:12,559
aircraft carrier made two thousand feet long
by two hundred feet wide on the mac

732
00:54:12,639 --> 00:54:16,880
maloney Wingman star Man kind of proportions
on stale everywhere, and they were going

733
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:21,159
to have you know, like up
to a thousand planes on this and they

734
00:54:21,159 --> 00:54:22,800
bring in the North Atlantic. And
at the time, the U boats were

735
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:27,679
really crazy because anyone who crossed the
Atlantic in those days in a ship man

736
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,880
that had all the coverage in the
world because the chances were you going to

737
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:34,199
get sunk and even if you're in
the water, you're gone because you're in

738
00:54:34,199 --> 00:54:37,559
the North atlant it's rough, it's
crumbing weather and so on. But while

739
00:54:37,559 --> 00:54:42,000
they were developing in this, what
were they were developing other anti Yuo boat

740
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,360
stuff. And basically what they did
is they get long range aircraft. And

741
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:49,400
the thing is is when you're flying
over the water, I mean U boats

742
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:53,719
don't go way way down. You
can spot them feel easily looking down and

743
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:57,880
and if they're riding on the surface. They did the calculations and they found

744
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:01,400
out that the right kind of airplanes
spot the U boat turned around, went

745
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:06,239
to an attack more dropped the bomb
before the U boat could submerge. So

746
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,000
and that was basically the end of
the U boat. So they didn't need

747
00:55:09,039 --> 00:55:14,119
any iceberg aircraft cab but it had
been so cool, would have had like

748
00:55:14,199 --> 00:55:17,840
ten thousand people on it and all
these planes and stuff just don't bring it

749
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,320
down. Well, the other part
of it, it really was a fortress

750
00:55:21,519 --> 00:55:25,119
that would not easily destroyed. What
it required the amount a major attack,

751
00:55:25,199 --> 00:55:30,280
and at that point the Germans did
not have the type of aircraft that could

752
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,840
have reached that crazy. I think
I shared with you map when we were

753
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:37,000
prepping up for the show that when
I was down in Antarctica we actually used

754
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:43,519
an iceberg as a touch and go
platform to top the coast of McMurdo one

755
00:55:43,599 --> 00:55:47,159
year. Yes, we found an
extremely flat piece of ice and we tested

756
00:55:47,159 --> 00:55:51,559
it to make sure that it would
take the helicopters and not does it and

757
00:55:51,599 --> 00:55:54,679
we had our own little floating island
of ice ol there. Wow huh,

758
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:59,360
and what it was worth. I
didn't realize that I was, you know,

759
00:55:59,519 --> 00:56:04,360
following the footsteps of Lord mount Batten
and oh wow, good for you.

760
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:08,280
Now you're talking about Antartica, correct, Yes, okay, I should

761
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:15,000
just remind the audience that Coca met
the lovely Missus Coco and Antartica. How

762
00:56:15,039 --> 00:56:17,119
often does that happen? On the
way? That's correct, the way on

763
00:56:17,159 --> 00:56:20,480
the way does he is the real
sailor in the field. Good for you?

764
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:22,639
So why don't we do this when
we take a commercial break now,

765
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:27,400
and we'll be right back after this. We just went to mention two books.

766
00:56:27,599 --> 00:56:29,679
Matthew, you have a new book
out. What's the name of it

767
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:35,760
police, Yeah, it's called Initiated
by Matthew Roberts. Okay, what's it

768
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:43,599
about. So it's about my own
personal experiences with the phenomenon and the things

769
00:56:43,639 --> 00:56:47,159
that I experienced while working at the
Office Enable Intelligence. What was the best

770
00:56:47,199 --> 00:56:50,039
one? I mean, what's the
one that keeps you up at night?

771
00:56:50,079 --> 00:56:54,039
What's the craziest thing that happened to
you? Not the show? It was

772
00:56:54,119 --> 00:56:58,079
all crazy, you know, all
of it was crazy. I mean.

773
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:02,559
Answer the one thing that I carry
with me, I think is probably uh,

774
00:57:02,599 --> 00:57:07,599
the event when I was woken up
by this guy that looked like a

775
00:57:07,679 --> 00:57:13,719
yard gnome and he told me don't
give up, keep going. And so

776
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,320
that's that's my new motto in life, right right? Yeah? Huh,

777
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:20,360
Well, it's weird how advice came
some strange places. So how long did

778
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:27,239
it take you to write the book? Well, my experience has started in

779
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:37,199
September of twenty seventeen and I beg
I began journaling men and so it took

780
00:57:37,239 --> 00:57:40,679
me from then until just about now
to write the book. Paying the ass

781
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:45,840
to write a book, isn't it? Yes? Or no? Oh?

782
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:50,800
Yeah? Yeah? I mean the
in the editing phases. I was so

783
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,760
tired of reading this book over and
over and over and over. Wicked brother,

784
00:57:53,960 --> 00:58:00,239
Yeah, what a d loves He
calls me like a drunken stupid that

785
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:04,000
process at all. Ever, I
don't do that, but Mac not often.

786
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,800
But Mac doesn't love it. It's
the it's the you know, I

787
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:08,360
hate to say. It's a good
living and you know, and there's not

788
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:12,880
many complaints you can make about it. But that's a drag when you have

789
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:16,159
to read it for the seventh friggin
time again and you know how it's going

790
00:58:16,239 --> 00:58:22,440
to go. You know, there's
no surprises. Well, so Valerie also

791
00:58:22,519 --> 00:58:28,360
had a book that we want to
mention. Yes, Valerie has a added

792
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,719
to her series, A Tangled Web
of Friends. Is that right, Valerie?

793
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,280
That's the series name. The book. The third book is the last

794
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:42,199
hour, the last hour, and
and we're coming up on the last hour.

795
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,280
What what is it about? Can
you tell? Can you tease it

796
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:52,239
for people? So it's following,
stop it, stop it not going to

797
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:57,480
cut that out there, Following Josie
and her friends as she tries to figure

798
00:58:57,519 --> 00:59:01,239
out her gift of talking to ghosts, and it takes them down to Florida

799
00:59:01,239 --> 00:59:07,039
and they actually end up off the
coasts in the Gulf of Florida at an

800
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:12,039
closed down military fort where they encounter
some strange things. Oh wow, huh

801
00:59:12,079 --> 00:59:15,159
okay, all right, sounds sounds
good. So you go on Amazon and

802
00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:21,079
look we Valie Lafaso a Tangled Web
of Friends. I love that the series

803
00:59:21,159 --> 00:59:23,519
title. She has a new uh
book adding to it. And why don't

804
00:59:23,519 --> 00:59:25,880
we do this now? Why don't
we take a commercial right now? And

805
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:29,960
we'll be right back after this.
You're listening to mcloney's milit Rex style show

806
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,920
here on the Distant Thunder Radio Network. We'll be right back after this.

807
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:39,079
UFOs are found in renaissance art,
on ancient coins, and etched on cave

808
00:59:39,119 --> 00:59:45,840
walls. They're even reported in the
Bible. But more surprising is when UFOs

809
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:51,880
are seen the most in times of
war. Through centuries, thousands of UFO

810
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,599
sightings have been made by high ranking
officials, military pilots, and ordinary soldiers.

811
00:59:57,079 --> 01:00:01,119
Often, these fantastic appearances occur at
the high of great battles from World

812
01:00:01,119 --> 01:00:07,400
War One to D Day to Korea, Vietnam and beyond. Military investigators are

813
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:13,039
baffled why do UFO sidings spike so
drastically during wartime? Could it be mistaken

814
01:00:13,079 --> 01:00:19,239
aircraft or someone or something looking in
on us? In UFOs and Wartime,

815
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,440
What they Didn't want You to Know, Mac maloney chronicles centuries of these incredible

816
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:27,199
sightings and tries to solve the puzzle
of why so many UFOs are seen while

817
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:31,360
humanity is at war. Read about
the scareships, the ghost planes and the

818
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:37,320
ghost rockets, alien giants in the
jungles of Vietnam, UFOs controlling our ICBM

819
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:43,480
bases, dogfights with flying saucers during
the Gulf War, and more. Three

820
01:00:43,559 --> 01:00:49,519
hundred pages of unbelievable stories, along
with many startling photographs. That's UFOs and

821
01:00:49,559 --> 01:00:52,519
Wartime, What they Didn't Want You
to Know? By mac Maloney, On

01:01:28,679 --> 01:01:31,440
This is mccloney. Wow, what
a show we have for you tonight,

825
01:01:31,519 --> 01:01:36,039
And it's strange because one one doesn't
here. Sorry. Girls. He's

826
01:01:36,039 --> 01:01:38,280
on his own secret mission, but
taking his place and filling his big clown

shoes. As he points ou out
early in the show, is command the

828
01:01:42,679 --> 01:01:46,960
Cobra. Coky. I don't believe
I used clown as a well adjective to

829
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,960
describe his shoes. But if the
shoe fits, wear it. And I'm

830
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,800
desperately trying to fill one one shoes
as always back a privileged to be part

size twenty four red with yellow shoelaces,

832
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:04,320
so bunting, yellow bunting, And
I know I got that wrong. Okay.

833
01:02:05,519 --> 01:02:07,360
Switch Blade Steve is going to be
joining us later in the show.

we felt we overdid it. Okay.

838
01:02:27,679 --> 01:02:30,239
Is that okay with you. That's
totally fine with me. I'm good with

839
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:34,239
that, okay, because once you
know you are that, you don't need

840
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:36,400
to say why do you have to
be told? Right? How do you

841
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:43,760
spell it? Though? Coco?
Do you know Romeo Alpha Victor, India,

842
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,840
Sierra Hotel, India, November Gulf. Okay, I hope you wrote

843

844
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,719
an mpath. She has a new
she has a series out and she is

845
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:58,960
just added to the series. The
name of the series is A Tangled Web

846
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:04,519
of Friends and the latest book is
called what is it? Valerie? The

Lafasso and they'll look for a Tangled
Web of Friends the Last Hour. And

849
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:15,880
the ghost stories are very unusual ghost
stories, I think is a good way

850
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:21,039
to describe them. So, uh
yeah, so do it? So?

851
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:22,960
Uh? Are we all going to
get copies Valerie? Or do we?

852
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:29,400
Did you know that already? I
can get you copies if you'd like,

853
01:03:29,559 --> 01:03:31,760
Okay, all right, send them

854
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:36,000

855
01:03:36,079 --> 01:03:38,199
un ye, wait till it's an
audiobook, or when you can get over

856
01:03:38,239 --> 01:03:40,840
to his house and wait and read
it right to him as he's going to

857
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:45,000
sleep, that would be a good
idea. So anyway, Valerie, thanks

858
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:50,000
for joining us tonight. You appreciate
it. Also joining us on the wing.

859
01:03:50,039 --> 01:03:54,239
As they say. Matthew roberts Uh
calling in from Arizona. Matthew was

860
01:03:54,280 --> 01:04:00,199
someone who was a cryptologist on the
USS Teddy Roosevelt, huge huge car when

861
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:04,920
pilots aboard that ship took what we
now know as the fame Aus gimbal Ufo

862
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:13,480
video and all the repercussions that have
resulted because of that. But because he

863
01:04:13,519 --> 01:04:15,280
was a cryptologist, he really can't
tell us much. Is that? Is

864
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:20,119
that what we're dealing with the Matthew? Yeah, unfortunately, there's there's not

865
01:04:20,159 --> 01:04:25,000
a whole lot I can talk about. I can only talk about my own

866
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:29,159
personal experiences. Okay of that,
yep, Okay, did you sign something?

867
01:04:29,199 --> 01:04:30,679
I mean when you left, I
mean when you joined, did you

868
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:35,199
sign something or did you just raise
your hand and it's an oath to keep

869
01:04:35,239 --> 01:04:39,679
it all? Yeah? No,
of course, there's there's always paperwork you

870
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:46,199
sign whenever you're read into a program. So you're constantly signing non disclosure agreements?

871
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,760
Oh really? Yeah? Did you
ever would you ever think of breaking

872
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:56,400
it? No? What would happen? I mean, I just end up

873
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:59,480
in I'd probably end up in jailing
jail. Yeah, oh that's bad.

874
01:04:59,599 --> 01:05:02,159
Yeah, okay, all right,
okay, it'll be healthy. It'll be

875
01:05:02,159 --> 01:05:04,280
great for book sales, though,
I'll do it. It'd be great for

876
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:10,000
book sales, think about it.
I mean, you have to be willing

877
01:05:10,039 --> 01:05:12,880
to commit to your That's all I
got to say, right, yeah,

878
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:18,239
okay, so listen rather yes,
genius? Uh on the wing? Now?

879
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:23,280
Is Jesse Kwansney? Am I pronouncing
that right there? Jesse? Last

880
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:28,280
name? Yeah? Yeah, Quasni
yeah okay. And you're up in Montana,

881
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:33,800
right, yes, sir. He
looks like he's in a jacuzzi or

882
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,519
something. Now you know what do
you call those things? A sauna?

883
01:05:36,679 --> 01:05:40,400
That's right, So that's what I'm
thinking. He's up in the mountains in

884
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:45,000
a sauna. He's in Montana enjoying
it. Is that right? If we

885
01:05:45,039 --> 01:05:47,559
can only get a bear to walk
by in the background while he's doing this

886
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:54,880
to the bear at any time,
We've been having bear sightings for the last

887
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:57,199
two weeks all over town, and
we don't have a lot of crime up

888
01:05:57,239 --> 01:06:00,679
here. So we've been getting police
text messages and alerts from all the bears

889
01:06:00,679 --> 01:06:02,199
in town over the last two weeks. They're still too warm for them to

890
01:06:02,199 --> 01:06:05,599
go into hibernation. And just for
those that are listening in the mid part

891
01:06:05,639 --> 01:06:10,440
from the country, we're talking about
the animal, the genius of animal,

892
01:06:10,639 --> 01:06:15,480
not the fan of the football game
team from Chicago. Oh god, yeah,

893
01:06:15,519 --> 01:06:18,039
why would they need the cops for
them? So so listen to you

894
01:06:18,039 --> 01:06:20,880
already just wander around in Montanic because
they're so sad. Yeah, yeah,

895
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:26,760
okay, Well, so now you
have your own a podcast. You're a

896
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:29,559
ten year OMI veterans. When were
you win? When? What years did

897
01:06:29,559 --> 01:06:34,199
you serve? Jesse? I was
in two thousand and five to twenty fifteen.

898
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:36,800
Okay, all right, and where
did you go? What did you

899
01:06:38,239 --> 01:06:43,000
what did you see? Yeah?
I was in Korea a couple of places

900
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,800
in the US. I went to
Iraq a couple of times. Spent the

901
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:49,679
last few years in Baltimore City as
a forced recruiter. Oh okay, but

902
01:06:49,719 --> 01:06:54,000
most of my time I was in
aviation and working in the UAVs. Okay,

903
01:06:54,079 --> 01:06:57,960
special ops. The av teams from
Forhead. Can you tell me where

904
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:01,480
you were in Iraq? Yeah?
My first I was in a place called

905
01:07:01,519 --> 01:07:05,039
dou Anda, Camp Echo, and
the second time I was in Basra.

906
01:07:06,639 --> 01:07:11,519
Did you ever remember seeing the little
gray airplanes that were flying around doing ISSR

907
01:07:11,599 --> 01:07:16,719
there on contract? No, not
the Skymasters. Oh yeah, that was

908
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:23,000
my old o, that Coco alright
flying around. Yeah, so what I

909
01:07:23,039 --> 01:07:27,639
mean? So we were down at
Adder at the same time. He refers

910
01:07:27,639 --> 01:07:29,800
to it as the sandbox. So
I mean, if you had to do

911
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:31,159
it over again, would you have
gone over the dress? Did you learn

912
01:07:31,199 --> 01:07:38,599
anything, see anything? Was it
worth it? The first one is well

913
01:07:38,639 --> 01:07:43,199
worth It's a weird thing worth it
in the overall mission, I don't necessarily

914
01:07:43,239 --> 01:07:45,159
know, but the experience was definitely
worth the things that I saw, especially

915
01:07:45,159 --> 01:07:48,239
the first one in Dwenya is a
beautiful place. Spent a lot of time

916
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:55,239
flying around small villages, teaching the
Iraqi Army how to manage airfields and things

917
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:57,079
like that. Yeah. Yeah,
I got to travel a lot on that

918
01:07:57,119 --> 01:07:59,159
first one, which was pretty cool. And what were you flying around with?

919
01:07:59,519 --> 01:08:00,880
Did you get to go to um
by any chance? You can get

920
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:05,119
it to boom oom? When you
were down it at it m M,

921
01:08:06,199 --> 01:08:10,039
yeah, because you probably were closed
out. I was one of the last

922
01:08:10,079 --> 01:08:12,880
you got to go there. It's
one of the oldest it's the Abraham the

923
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:17,520
Old Testament, the oldest study comes
from and it was right right alongside there,

924
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:23,479
and then the Iraqi government kind of
closed it out from US takings to

925
01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:27,119
it's supposedly the oldest city. Yeah, they started shutting down a lot and

926
01:08:27,279 --> 01:08:31,039
uh yes, and they had wheat
fields bigger than in Kansas. Imagine that

927
01:08:31,199 --> 01:08:36,359
way back when twenty twenty two thousand
years ago. So anyway, so yeah,

928
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:40,239
right, yeah, it's a strange
part of the world. I mean,

929
01:08:40,279 --> 01:08:42,760
I've never been over there, but
you know, just from what I've

930
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:45,920
seen and just how the people iron
stuff like that, it might as well

931
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:51,119
be on another planet, right,
Yeah, Yeah, that's pretty wild.

932
01:08:53,159 --> 01:08:57,960
You can go from desert to immediate
like oasis where our first fob was was

933
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,760
a really small base and it was
just desert. Ever wear around and then

934
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,760
you just fly into this beautiful palm
trees and super green area just like in

935
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:08,279
the middle of the desert. It's
pretty incredible. And what were you flying

936
01:09:08,319 --> 01:09:13,279
around then? What kind of point
are you flying around in copters? You

937
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:16,279
h sixty black hawks the most part. Yeah, okay, how are they

938
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:20,680
rough? Every helicopter people, helicopter
pilots have told me don't get on a

939
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:27,199
helicopter if you don't have to.
Is that right? Well, they're not

940
01:09:27,279 --> 01:09:31,079
the safest in a crash situation,
then that's right, held together very well

941
01:09:31,119 --> 01:09:36,079
when they hit the ground. Okay, Cocoa is a pilot. So Matthew,

942
01:09:36,079 --> 01:09:40,000
would you would you agree with me? Do you like to fly?

943
01:09:40,199 --> 01:09:43,960
Matthew? Yeah? Really do you? Yeah? I don't like to fly.

944
01:09:44,119 --> 01:09:47,319
I don't either. I actually hate
it, and I helicopters are so

945
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:53,359
uncomfortable because of the vibration that's always
constantly happening inside them. It's it freaks

946
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:55,960
me out. I hate the fly. I mean, I write, I

947
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,920
make my living writing about flying,
and I hate the fly. I'm like

948
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,199
that guy who wrote the greatest roller
coaster book in the world and he hates

949
01:10:03,239 --> 01:10:10,720
for roller coasters. Coco, were
you awake? Hello, I'm just listening

950
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:14,560
to all the non aviators talking about
Mike Tree. That's fine, all right,

951
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:19,520
It's okay. What's nearly fourteen thousand
hours of flight time to this August

952
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:24,079
group. I'll think let's just keep
moving on. Now you're counting your days

953
01:10:24,119 --> 01:10:28,600
with Michael Bay doing Bad Boys too. Is that party of fourteen thousand hours?

954
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:30,439
Yeah, it was part of my
fourteen thousand hours, that is correct,

955
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:34,800
Sir mac Okay, So I just
got to throw this out. So

956
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:41,800
I'm listening to a show on Apple
Podcasts the other day, Alexa play mc

957
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:45,680
maloney's Military Exiles on Alexa podcast and
by the being with there okay, And

958
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:51,159
you were just going into your story
about how you and Michael Bay, who

959
01:10:51,239 --> 01:10:57,239
is one of the top ten directors
in Hollywood, you have this meeting.

960
01:10:57,359 --> 01:11:00,880
In quotes, his dog comes up
and licks your groin and then you the

961
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:06,000
stunt helecop the pilot. Stat's giving
Mike ol Bay script revisions. Correct,

962
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:13,159
Yeah, correct, with a couple
of small edits to the Mike ryme.

963
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:17,800
He wiped its mud, its muzzle
on my hands. Tomato, tomato,

964
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,239
go ahead, Okay. We're sitting
at a conference table. Mister Day was

965
01:11:21,239 --> 01:11:24,640
at the other end of the table. I was at the current I had

966
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:31,520
my representative or my partner from the
Coastguards Hollywood Opice sitting to the left.

967
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:36,199
The various people that are part of
the production that are supporting mister bay On

968
01:11:36,359 --> 01:11:41,079
that going with it, yes,
And I just had to make the remark

969
01:11:41,199 --> 01:11:45,880
that if we're going for accuracy,
these are things that I saw wrong with

970
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:50,840
the script. And he saw how
the dog was reacting with me. Yes,

971
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:56,520
and he gave me too, like
thirty seconds to convince him. So

972
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:59,840
I gave him, you know,
both barrels. I explained to him that

973
01:12:00,039 --> 01:12:02,279
stuff that had gone wrong and other
movies of his that I love, Yes,

974
01:12:03,079 --> 01:12:06,680
And only guys like me that are
losers with the capital L on my

975
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:13,199
forehead would even care about or dare
bring up. So everybody court starts shuddering.

976
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:15,479
Michael Michael Michael on the side,
and he puts his hand up,

977
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:20,800
tells them to be quiet, says
under my name, commander my name,

978
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:25,119
go ahead with that. And I
said, well, mister b call me

979
01:12:25,159 --> 01:12:27,640
Michael. I said, well that
case, call me my first name.

980
01:12:28,039 --> 01:12:32,359
And we went down the list.
Wow, changed teams up to make them

981
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:36,199
more accurate and to have some more
fun in some of those areas. And

982
01:12:36,279 --> 01:12:40,720
that was just one of the many
adventures along the way. When I was

983
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:44,359
collecting a government paycheck, And did
you really so the government paid you while

984
01:12:44,359 --> 01:12:47,079
you were filming Bad Boys too?
Yes, I was. This was all

985
01:12:47,119 --> 01:12:58,039
part of that that's wrong though,
Like it's a huge boon for for recruiting,

986
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:01,159
and Jesse can understand this when you
have a big positive part. The

987
01:13:01,159 --> 01:13:05,039
Hollywood opposite of the Defense Department in
the coach Guard, they get scripts all

988
01:13:05,079 --> 01:13:09,520
the time, and then these directors
and producers will come and say we want

989
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,960
to get government support, we want
to have your ship to your helicopters,

990
01:13:13,039 --> 01:13:17,119
your troops, and then technical advisors
come and go. If they come off

991
01:13:17,119 --> 01:13:20,199
active duty like I did. It
was just just another one of my duties

992
01:13:20,279 --> 01:13:24,560
of running squadron into down and do
this meeting. And it was actually probably

993
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:27,800
one of the coolest things that happened. A flight out of Miami where the

994
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:30,119
movie was being filmed, as a
guy holding my name up on our sign

995
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:34,119
for the limo, we went through
that. First of all, I tried

996
01:13:34,159 --> 01:13:36,439
to fly get in the front seat
with the limo driver because I wanted to

997
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:39,199
talk to him, because no,
no, he can't be in the front

998
01:13:39,199 --> 01:13:41,600
seat, it's a rule. So
he puts the wind on and we're talking

999
01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:44,079
and he's telling me all this great
stuff that's going on. How much people

1000
01:13:44,079 --> 01:13:46,520
loved working for Michael Bay he's done
a number of the movies that he's been

1001
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:50,159
in him. So wow, it
was a really interesting time. Yeah,

1002
01:13:50,279 --> 01:13:54,600
and you run Uncle Sam's perrol.
That's wrong, dude. You should have

1003
01:13:54,800 --> 01:14:02,520
done that on your rn I or
something. Okay, wow, I'm just

1004
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:06,199
smiling in silent. I just gotta
leave you hanging their place as run.

1005
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:09,920
I just you know, I think
back to all the times that I was

1006
01:14:10,039 --> 01:14:14,439
on Uncle Sam's payroll answering your questions
when you would write to me about the

1007
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:16,479
book stuff. So there we go. Okay, nice, thank you.

1008
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:20,039
That's another shot in charge? You
charge and Mike Bay? You guys,

1009
01:14:20,039 --> 01:14:24,079
are I hold both of you in
the same esteem? You and Michael Bay

1010
01:14:24,239 --> 01:14:27,039
the same esteem? Really? Yeah? I don't have any big dogs though,

1011
01:14:27,039 --> 01:14:30,600
as it turns out, So you
in touch with him? Are you

1012
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:34,039
in touch with the dogs? Yes? Or no? The dogs? The

1013
01:14:34,119 --> 01:14:38,239
dogs and the dogs stay in touch. Good for you. So, so,

1014
01:14:38,359 --> 01:14:40,920
Jesse, So what was so?
So? Yeah? Ten years in

1015
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:43,600
the army? Right? Okay?
So was it was it? I mean

1016
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:45,159
I always want to ask people,
this was it what you thought was going

1017
01:14:45,199 --> 01:14:51,000
to be? Did you come out
with a different frame of mind? I

1018
01:14:51,039 --> 01:14:54,399
came well, yeah, I came
out with a totally different frame of mind.

1019
01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:56,680
I joined right out of high school, and I was eighteen, and

1020
01:14:57,039 --> 01:15:00,079
I had my twenty first birthday in
Iraq and all these So there's no way

1021
01:15:00,199 --> 01:15:04,880
to spend ten years and not completely
change your whole view, especially coming from

1022
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:11,199
a small place in Montana and just
expands everything. Yes, it was drastically

1023
01:15:11,199 --> 01:15:15,199
different than I thought Slash was told
by recruiters in the early two thousands.

1024
01:15:15,239 --> 01:15:19,560
So yes, I think. I
think it's mostly just learning how to adapt

1025
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:26,239
to situations that you will never be
really prepared for unless you're there in that

1026
01:15:26,319 --> 01:15:29,680
situation. There's no amount of like
training or discussing it that could get you

1027
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:32,680
ready for some of that. Right. Those people don't like us, though,

1028
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:36,560
do they? If they had did
Druthers, we wouldn't be involved with

1029
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:43,479
them, right, We're just a
different We're just different. Yes, yeah,

1030
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,840
more likely than not. Yeah,
yep. Yeah. Well it's too

1031
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:49,640
bad it's like that, you know, But that's just the way it is.

1032
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:53,279
That's what the other half of the
world is like, you know,

1033
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:57,720
and you know, a lot of
crazy stuff happens over there. They're doing

1034
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:00,960
a lot of different things with Number
thirteen and the United Arab Emirates. By

1035
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:05,840
the way, Coco, can you
believe that is no surprise? UE is

1036
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:10,119
a happening place, is it really? Yeah, we're not going to ask

1037
01:16:10,119 --> 01:16:13,640
you for a reading at this point. We're gonna let the show move on

1038
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:16,560
a little bit. It's action with
your your check onto the pulse. It's

1039
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:21,520
a dip. I appreciate that.
Thank you. Oh that's just confirming it.

1040
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:25,560
Thank you, Coco. So,
now you went back to Montan You

1041
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:29,680
went back to your hometown when you
came out right, okay and had a

1042
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:33,399
change back here to go to school. Was it changed? It was a

1043
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:36,680
little bit different. I don't know. Just the perspective is coming back to

1044
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:41,520
a place that was much quieter when
you spend ten years in a lot of

1045
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:45,159
loud stuff, busy, super active
places. To come out here to the

1046
01:16:45,159 --> 01:16:47,840
mountains and just be able to walk
out my back door and not see anybody

1047
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:54,119
for hours and hours. Cool,
It's just experience, but definitely very different.

1048
01:16:54,319 --> 01:16:58,239
You're telling us that the cops text
you and bears are around, right,

1049
01:16:59,279 --> 01:17:03,760
yeah, and bears are wow.
Okay, that's cool. Well listen,

1050
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:08,039
so before we talk about your podcast, now that I got a navy

1051
01:17:08,079 --> 01:17:11,199
guy and an Army guy and a
coast guard guy and you're in the Air

1052
01:17:11,199 --> 01:17:15,760
Force too, Coca. Right,
that's correct. Okay, let's talk about

1053
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:19,239
the food now. Listen. For
Christmas, Coco gave me a bunch of

1054
01:17:19,399 --> 01:17:24,479
MRIs and I had got a bunch
like twenty years ago. And forget about

1055
01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:29,600
those, man. This is like
ribs and steak and chili and stuff like

1056
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:32,159
that. So thank you Coca for
that. And you can heat them up

1057
01:17:32,199 --> 01:17:35,479
yourself and so on. So let's
start with the Navy, because I always

1058
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:40,319
hear about the Navy food is excellent. So Matthew, if you can rate

1059
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:45,840
the food five stars, is the
best on the carrier. What was it,

1060
01:17:45,960 --> 01:17:54,600
right? It was probably about two
to three stars? Maybe? Wow?

1061
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:58,840
Good. You didn't spend time on
small chips, damn no, yeah,

1062
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:02,600
I never ever did small boys.
Yeah. So what you have to

1063
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:06,640
do is you have to beat Matthew
factor into that two to three and add

1064
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:11,600
a one to a one point five
onto it. You're sitting on a ship

1065
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:16,000
that's rolling back and forth about forty
five degrees port and starboard and pitching ten

1066
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:19,359
and you're getting peanut butter and jelly
on wonder bread. Going. Man,

1067
01:18:19,399 --> 01:18:23,840
this is the light. This is
large. Those guys in the aircraft carrier

1068
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:30,680
with limitless hot water are complaining about
their seanron is not done well tonight still

1069
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:34,680
load done? Yeah? Okay,
so he was spoiled by being on the

1070
01:18:35,119 --> 01:18:40,439
bird thomb as the kids say,
right, yeah, yeah, okay,

1071
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:43,319
all right, so let me just
go over it. Let's going with Jesse.

1072
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:45,640
So Jesse food in the army.
You were out in the field.

1073
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:49,279
So it was just like yeahs and
stuff, right, mostly when you're out

1074
01:18:49,279 --> 01:18:53,479
in the field, when you're down
range, if you're ever on the fog,

1075
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:56,399
they have a defect just like any
other base, which is probably like

1076
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:58,960
a two or three out of five. But yeah, everything in the field

1077
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:02,720
is pretty much field raft and stuff
just to eat eat occasionally. Just did

1078
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:06,520
you ever get to eat those special
field kitchens they would bring out. They

1079
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:09,600
didn't have them a racked off,
but I had it. I saw them

1080
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:13,199
a few times in Germany. They
come out and basically they're working on it,

1081
01:19:13,199 --> 01:19:15,920
basically a truck and they would actually
make hot rations there and I mean,

1082
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:21,359
again, pretty decent eating when you
could get that line. Was it

1083
01:19:21,399 --> 01:19:25,600
good? When I was in Korea, we had this field problem and it

1084
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:29,960
was like negative twelve degrees for two
straight weeks essentially, and we had no

1085
01:19:30,159 --> 01:19:35,159
indoor place to sleep. So they
actually shipped in those big like tractors for

1086
01:19:35,199 --> 01:19:38,479
two or three days to kind of
give us a little break. And there's

1087
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:41,199
dudes in the back and you would
just kind of file right into the back

1088
01:19:41,199 --> 01:19:45,159
of this big truck and just grab
those hot rations and it was terrible.

1089
01:19:45,199 --> 01:19:48,039
It was like tiny eggo waffles and
eggs from a box, which would love

1090
01:19:48,079 --> 01:19:51,159
that, but it was warm and
it was so good. Really, So

1091
01:19:51,199 --> 01:19:55,520
there was like mobile broken down to
a smaller component, lower component. You

1092
01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:58,399
know, it doesn't take much to
make it happy. So mobile kitchen,

1093
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:00,760
which I think is probably one of
the greatest lesson in the military, really

1094
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:06,359
do. So these are mobile kitchens, Jesse mobile kitchens. Yeah, they

1095
01:20:06,359 --> 01:20:10,680
can drive it right out to you
and then they have some like kind of

1096
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:12,840
like a buffet if you were to
go to like a conference center. There's

1097
01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:16,359
ye trade type setups and those big
plastic jugs of water. It's a big

1098
01:20:16,399 --> 01:20:19,920
food truck have that lined up on
the inside. And yeah, see,

1099
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:24,079
I think I'll tell you this is
real inside. But at Cokeland valv you

1100
01:20:24,159 --> 01:20:26,880
know, Rye Beach, Hampton Beach, all the way up to New Hampshire.

1101
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:30,279
If you had a food truck going
up there. This this like fifty

1102
01:20:30,359 --> 01:20:34,079
thousand people there on the summer's day
here Colin right now. So they are

1103
01:20:34,159 --> 01:20:40,359
right now putting their reservation in the
Military X files special Cuisine. So we're

1104
01:20:40,359 --> 01:20:43,399
going back to you, and now
we're going back their force chow is.

1105
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:45,159
I'm going to say, is just
kind of met some message. I don't

1106
01:20:45,159 --> 01:20:48,720
know if you guys, I'm pretty
sure Matt and Jesse know the meme or

1107
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:53,119
the thing that's been going around the
internet. And they show the picture of

1108
01:20:53,159 --> 01:20:57,000
this guy sitting down eating food and
it's so good. The guy just loses

1109
01:20:57,039 --> 01:21:00,479
it. He's just he's saying,
and he's throwing the food in his These

1110
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:03,079
all smiles. Yes, And a
guy has written across this this is what

1111
01:21:03,159 --> 01:21:08,079
happens when somebody outside the Air Force
sits down and eats an airport's dining facil.

1112
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:14,039
That's what it's like. The Air
Force dining experience is five star,

1113
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:16,760
where the rest of these guys,
unless you're on a sub and they got

1114
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:23,039
your captive underneath the waves, is
probably one to two stars. Yeah,

1115
01:21:23,119 --> 01:21:26,359
But when the Air Force, there's
no expense I mean, you go on

1116
01:21:26,399 --> 01:21:30,680
an Air Force dining facility and it's
going to be tablecloths more than three times

1117
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:33,039
out of the air followup, that's
inappropriate. They shouldn't have that. If

1118
01:21:33,079 --> 01:21:36,520
the other guys don't have it,
well look it. But I always heard

1119
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:41,199
so, so you're you're calling this
something. I'm gonna call CNN and Fox

1120
01:21:41,279 --> 01:21:45,279
after the show. So what you're
saying, is this myth about Navy food

1121
01:21:45,399 --> 01:21:48,479
is just all bs because I've heard
that's a recruiting tool Navy food. I

1122
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,520
find no. I think food well, I don't know about a recruiting tool,

1123
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:56,479
especially with this generation. Jesse,
and please back me up because I'm

1124
01:21:56,479 --> 01:22:00,000
old enough to be in your current
league. But go ahead. It's not

1125
01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:06,279
uh maybe puts a lot of effort
into putting good food out because it's such

1126
01:22:06,279 --> 01:22:11,640
a morale requirement. And in the
desert in Iraq, the Army tried really

1127
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:15,439
hard with the dining facility to do
the same thing. But they had third

1128
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:18,920
country nationals that were working these dining
facilities. They spent a lot of money,

1129
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:23,159
They put a lot of stuff around
until you had green bean coffee,

1130
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:28,079
you have all these other kind of
b was in a lot of these places

1131
01:22:29,039 --> 01:22:31,079
York City try to make it a
little bit better, right, but you

1132
01:22:31,279 --> 01:22:34,960
have to. What happens is when
you get broken down a component. When

1133
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:40,239
you're eating an MR and that's what
you eat for two weeks. When you

1134
01:22:40,239 --> 01:22:43,640
get something you can actually sit down
with the plastic utensils, you think you're

1135
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:46,600
at the rich Charlton, right,
Or if you provide somebody with hot showers

1136
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:49,319
three nights out of the week,
you're going, oh my god, I've

1137
01:22:49,319 --> 01:22:55,760
never had it so good about it? Yeah, okay, all right,

1138
01:22:56,359 --> 01:23:01,319
so it sounds like the fls Winds. I would say in general, I

1139
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:05,159
don't need the because you hadn't even
bring up coast Guard. Okay, I

1140
01:23:05,159 --> 01:23:09,399
hate they asked the icebreaker. Yeah, how was the food in the coast

1141
01:23:09,399 --> 01:23:14,479
Guard? Great out, But the
icebreaker, the icebreak breaker tried really hard

1142
01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:15,760
and I thought a really good job. In fact, it's one of the

1143
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:19,439
funniest stories. A guy who does
listens to show with a ship made of

1144
01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:24,199
mine on the icebreaker paul a Star
yes, which is God bless them.

1145
01:23:24,199 --> 01:23:28,319
They're headed up to the North Arctic
doing a mission this winter in the dark.

1146
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:32,920
Good. We had to wait out
in line and we all ate out

1147
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:38,760
of the same dining facility, and
one day a young kid two people down

1148
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:41,920
from us, because I was an
officer, I'm in the same line,

1149
01:23:42,399 --> 01:23:45,920
he started complaining that they had the
same thing twice and he was really out

1150
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:50,000
of shape, and the inside Commandic
Corbert's head a little switchway like that,

1151
01:23:50,119 --> 01:23:55,840
and I just I kind of went
into this whole psychopathic, really low quality

1152
01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:59,520
voice I got. I was just
gonna go, what part of this don't

1153
01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:02,920
you like? Young man? It's
going to be served on a clean prey

1154
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:08,960
in an air conditioned environment on the
ship. Have you experienced the joys of

1155
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:12,680
sitting in a desert some place with
thugs jumping into your food or your boddies

1156
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:15,920
next to you getting sick while you're
trying to eat because it's your fifteen minutes

1157
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:18,359
to eat and its poor kid.
I mean, I just crushed them.

1158
01:24:18,399 --> 01:24:24,880
I didn't need to, but it
was just it seems so unbelievably unfitting to

1159
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:29,039
make a complaint. Here we are
an air condition ship, self specific,

1160
01:24:29,119 --> 01:24:32,720
headed to Andtarctica in the place because
we had him two days in a row

1161
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:39,000
or you gotta be kidney, what
were you eating? Maybe it wasn't worth

1162
01:24:39,039 --> 01:24:42,600
it. Two days in a row
what were you eating? Well, you

1163
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:48,079
usually had some kind of beef and
some kind of Yeah, that's it,

1164
01:24:48,159 --> 01:24:53,760
exactly meat eating. Who wouldn't get
sick of that to go with it?

1165
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:58,079
Plus you had leftovers that were available
all the time. Wow, so you

1166
01:24:58,239 --> 01:25:00,920
just never went hungry on a ship? Help me out? Do you ever

1167
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:04,680
go hungry? Ownership? No?
Not us. You don't want to eat,

1168
01:25:05,239 --> 01:25:09,640
they don't eat, yeh, Jesse? How many times were you going

1169
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:12,920
hungry in the art that happens?
A couple of times. A couple of

1170
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:16,439
times. All right, hey,
Valerie, val are you hungry? I

1171
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:24,520
am a little bit. Let's move
on. So okay, So so Jesse

1172
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:28,239
going back to you. So you
started the podcast it's called Mudpie, And

1173
01:25:28,319 --> 01:25:32,079
but you talk about like UFOs and
paranormal stuff, right right, what's the

1174
01:25:32,119 --> 01:25:36,880
weirdest story you've heard? What's the
weirdest thing you've heard? I don't know

1175
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:40,399
about weird, but probably one of
the well, you know what. I

1176
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:46,239
had a conversation with a person who
wrote a book on food offerings of fairies

1177
01:25:46,399 --> 01:25:53,680
and sasquatch and aliens and how different
entities would trap humans depending on the food

1178
01:25:53,720 --> 01:25:57,680
or drink. Throughout all these like
stories throughout times. Interesting, pretty interesting

1179
01:25:57,680 --> 01:26:00,960
conversation. Yeah sure, yeah right, yeah yeah, so like what I

1180
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:03,279
know that the the guys who look
the Bigfoot, they put out big macs

1181
01:26:03,279 --> 01:26:08,920
and stuff, right right, But
there he was talking more along the lines

1182
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:14,239
of Bigfoot using food items to attract
humans and so that they could keep them

1183
01:26:14,359 --> 01:26:19,319
essentially hostage or slaves, really extraterrestrials. Stories have been told about these,

1184
01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:27,319
like so what do they put in
big Max? So they actually say he

1185
01:26:27,399 --> 01:26:30,680
said that it might just be something
like twigs and sticks and bushes, but

1186
01:26:31,359 --> 01:26:35,640
the perception is of actual food until
the person eats the food, and then

1187
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:40,640
it starts to taste like ty and
dirty, and then when the person comes

1188
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:44,359
to it's like just nasty. Sounds
like one of cocoas potties from the forest,

1189
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:49,039
essentially bright Coco. Yeah, you're
all going to get invited. Yeah,

1190
01:26:49,039 --> 01:26:55,479
you're all going to get invited to
Coco's you know his spring potty.

1191
01:26:56,199 --> 01:27:00,800
Yeah yeah, he cannot make them, and autumn he'll win. I'll fly

1192
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:06,000
you in, believe me. So
well, mister uh, mister Switchblade has

1193
01:27:06,079 --> 01:27:11,000
just signal really, why don't we
take a break then? Okay, because

1194
01:27:11,039 --> 01:27:15,640
so we can all kind of regroup
and Okay. So you're listening to Macmoney's

1195
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:18,680
Military X File show the food segment. Okay, that's what we should do,

1196
01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:23,640
Coco. We should do a cookbook
and have all the guests. Yeah.

1197
01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:27,000
Absolutely, you know, but I
just think it's really cool that you

1198
01:27:27,039 --> 01:27:30,760
have this food segment going and you're
going to bring in Switchitch and then switch

1199
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:33,560
from the submarine with the breakfast in
the breakfast silence service and what he had

1200
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:39,159
for b and his breakfast. The
biggest part of the show is is that

1201
01:27:39,199 --> 01:27:42,920
what that means? Okay? And
here he is calling you know what this

1202
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:44,960
means? I could just do it
with my fingers. Okay, there you

1203
01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:47,479
go. So when do we take
a break now and we'll be back with

1204
01:27:47,720 --> 01:27:51,640
more fun. You're listening to mcmoney's
Militrasund Show here on the Distant Thunder Radio

1205
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:58,039
Network. We'll be right back after
this. I was in the hospital with

1206
01:27:58,039 --> 01:28:01,319
my son for eighteen months and he
got injured. I wasn't prepared, but

1207
01:28:01,359 --> 01:28:04,960
I knew I had to be strong. When I was told about John's injury,

1208
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:09,159
I was in complete shock. I
just remember rushing into his room and

1209
01:28:09,159 --> 01:28:12,520
giving him a big hug and letting
him know I was there. These veterans

1210
01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:15,920
and families are just a few of
the heroes we serve at homes for our

1211
01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:20,159
troops, for thousands of severely injured
veterans, everyday life is filled with barriers.

1212
01:28:20,359 --> 01:28:24,920
Those really the little things throughout the
house, counters so you can't roll

1213
01:28:25,039 --> 01:28:29,039
up to patadragma wheelchair downsteps. I
want to help, but he is so

1214
01:28:29,199 --> 01:28:33,119
determined. At homes for our troops, we build specially adapted custom homes with

1215
01:28:33,199 --> 01:28:38,800
features like wheelchair access, roll in
showers, and automatic door openers that allow

1216
01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:44,640
them to function independently and focus on
their recovery and family. This house is

1217
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:47,720
freedom, it's hope, it's not
new beginning. This house has given me

1218
01:28:47,760 --> 01:29:23,000
my family back. To learn more, visit HFOTUSA dot org. Hey,

1271
01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:13,920
a couple of comments off here,
so we're going to get back that we

hour show. Okay, look he's shaking

1274
01:33:25,039 --> 01:33:28,720
his head and discussed. But I'll
tell you it's false modesty. It's not

1275
01:33:28,840 --> 01:33:31,640
discussed. Okay, I'm not discussed. I used the wrong word. Another

1276
01:33:31,680 --> 01:33:38,279
word, incredulity. Is that wow
slowed down the egg head on sweat.

1277
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:43,199
Wow. There was a lot of
syllables. Yes, he has que guites

1278
01:33:43,239 --> 01:33:45,039
and he's got the big cup.
So listen, everyone wants to know,

1279
01:33:45,119 --> 01:33:51,039
Switchy, what did you have for
breakfast? Uh? This? Uh?

1280
01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:55,920
This morning? I had Uh.
I made a couple of scrambled eggs.

1281
01:33:56,239 --> 01:33:59,840
We have to added some green pepper
green and a little bit of shredded cheese

1282
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:02,920
Colby Jack short of cheese, really, And I had three strips of bacon

1283
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:06,600
and had a little bit of corn
beef hash leftover, just a little bit,

1284
01:34:06,640 --> 01:34:12,199
so I added that and then two
toasted two pieces of white toast.

1285
01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:15,199
Not you know, not the stuff
off the shelf, but the stuff on

1286
01:34:15,239 --> 01:34:20,119
the bakery's side in the store.
Sure, And next trying to say yes,

1287
01:34:20,279 --> 01:34:24,000
well, actually the intlement is on
the opposite side of the as a

1288
01:34:24,079 --> 01:34:28,760
particular store. But that's another story. Wow, and added some uh land

1289
01:34:28,760 --> 01:34:30,760
of lakes of butter, the sauce
bread, the sauce bread, yeah,

1290
01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:34,039
the fake butter. Okay, yep, all right, with hot black coffee

1291
01:34:34,119 --> 01:34:38,760
and orange juice. Wow, orange
juice. You tied to a guy who

1292
01:34:38,800 --> 01:34:43,680
has a piece of toast every morning. So you know the bacon. Let

1293
01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:45,479
me just ask you, what was
the bacon? Was it within the expiration

1294
01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:53,760
date? Yes, I suspect it
was funky and it tasted pretty good.

1295
01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:56,600
That's you shouldn't suspect those things.
You should nail those down. We got

1296
01:34:56,640 --> 01:34:59,640
a lot of we got a lot
of e mails wondering about whether you should

1297
01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:02,760
be eating expired bacon or not.
But then people are saying, bacon,

1298
01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:08,520
never bacon. I had a couple
of weeks ago there was some bacon that

1299
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:12,359
was definitely suspect, and so I
got rid of it. You got rid

1300
01:35:12,359 --> 01:35:14,720
of it. You did the right
thing. So listen. But people write

1301
01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:17,159
into me and say, bacon never
go bacon never goes wrong. The whole

1302
01:35:17,199 --> 01:35:20,479
idea of bacon is that it's salted
pork. Coco. You should know this,

1303
01:35:24,720 --> 01:35:28,239
but salted pork absolutely, yes?
What what what do I look like?

1304
01:35:28,279 --> 01:35:30,920
I would know the insight track on
bacon. Well you have pigs,

1305
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:33,520
you you you have bacon walking around
your back? You got no, no,

1306
01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:40,840
no pigs. Okay, of courses, all right, geese chickens.

1307
01:35:41,199 --> 01:35:45,279
Missus Cobra does want to get a
baby pick? Really she said that to

1308
01:35:45,319 --> 01:35:50,439
you. I say, look at
me, sweetheart, Coco doing material.

1309
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:56,680
So listen. So, Bruce,
I just remember our last conversation when the

1310
01:35:56,760 --> 01:35:59,439
last thing you said before we went
off the year is that you had you

1311
01:35:59,560 --> 01:36:06,239
had relatives who were in the Gestapo. Correct, Yes, my dad's youngest

1312
01:36:06,239 --> 01:36:13,960
sister sister. Okay, so talk
about books. So yeah, So what

1313
01:36:14,159 --> 01:36:19,000
was she up to? Well,
she worked in Oslo, the capital city,

1314
01:36:19,720 --> 01:36:26,119
and she worked with a guy named
Colonel Famer, and her job was

1315
01:36:26,159 --> 01:36:30,000
to find members of the underground and
she was able to lure like nine of

1316
01:36:30,039 --> 01:36:38,199
them and they were all captured and
ultimately tortured and executed. So she was

1317
01:36:38,279 --> 01:36:44,680
charged with war crimes and sentenced to
death and she was going to be shot

1318
01:36:44,479 --> 01:36:50,079
at the at the Akers whose castle
there in Oslo in the harbor. But

1319
01:36:50,119 --> 01:36:57,880
then my dad's oldest brother was a
war hero convoy commander working for the British

1320
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:02,079
and he used his reputation and all
of his money to get her sentence commuted

1321
01:37:02,119 --> 01:37:06,359
to life, of which she only
did nine years. And did she did

1322
01:37:06,399 --> 01:37:12,039
she get out of did she die
in prison? No, she got out

1323
01:37:12,079 --> 01:37:15,920
after nine years. She claimed that
she had gone insane, but she was

1324
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:19,880
crazy like a fox. Well they
got out and did very well, as

1325
01:37:20,239 --> 01:37:25,359
had a c P A business.
Yeah, Coco, this is the movie,

1326
01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:30,600
A Strange Lady, this is the
movie. Wow, Doctor Bruce had

1327
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:35,039
explained a little bit and we shot
a little bit of air. Yeah,

1328
01:37:35,159 --> 01:37:40,479
it's a it's a crazy word crazy. So he's got a break a junk

1329
01:37:40,560 --> 01:37:44,520
that by oh man, there was
there was actually a movie. Uh,

1330
01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:47,199
she wasn't in the movie, but
there was a Norwegian movie called Max Manus.

1331
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:54,119
He's a famous resistance fighter and there's
a scene where there they set up

1332
01:37:54,119 --> 01:37:58,640
to the members of the resistance at
a cafe in Oslo. And actually it

1333
01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:02,039
was my aunt who set up that
at that meet okay, and that led

1334
01:38:02,079 --> 01:38:05,600
to their capture. We're getting texts, Yeah, she was. She was

1335
01:38:05,640 --> 01:38:10,880
pretty pretty infamous. We're getting texts
and emails. Everyone wants to know what

1336
01:38:10,880 --> 01:38:14,479
what she looked like. Was she
someone who was alluring them like a BA

1337
01:38:14,840 --> 01:38:18,239
type thing. Yes, she was
very attractive. I have yes everyone.

1338
01:38:18,279 --> 01:38:23,800
I think I might have showed it
briefly a TV radio show. Cousin wrote

1339
01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:29,000
a book. Yes, and the
title that's in Norwegian look at doing and

1340
01:38:29,079 --> 01:38:32,479
shook optaine. It means the decoy
and the sea captain. Yes and there.

1341
01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:36,279
It's kind of a look there.
Okay, do you have a picture

1342
01:38:36,279 --> 01:38:43,319
of her? And then there she
is and my uncle who was the war

1343
01:38:43,359 --> 01:38:46,159
hero, a little bit of a
Judy. This is a pretty attractive judy

1344
01:38:46,199 --> 01:38:50,720
gown, wizard of She had a
country girl. She had an innocent country

1345
01:38:50,720 --> 01:38:59,520
girl look. But she was not
innocent, wow, writes itself. Okay,

1346
01:38:59,520 --> 01:39:01,039
good for you. Yeah, so
she was. She was deadly,

1347
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:08,520
very deadly, very interesting. Uh, lady she had she was unrepentant as

1348
01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:11,800
a as a Nazi really so really, I mean she had Nazi books on

1349
01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:16,319
her bookshelf. Spoke perfect German.
Uh, to the point where German people

1350
01:39:16,359 --> 01:39:21,239
I knew thought she was German.
So how does she know German so well?

1351
01:39:21,319 --> 01:39:27,439
She was Norwegian? Norwegian? Yeah, no Norwegian? Wow, huh.

1352
01:39:27,520 --> 01:39:30,079
Yeah. So that's the reason that
that's the reason I'm here in the

1353
01:39:30,159 --> 01:39:34,680
United States because my dad and my
mom didn't want to hear, or especially

1354
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:39,279
my dad didn't want to hear about
his Nazi sister anymore. After the war,

1355
01:39:39,880 --> 01:39:44,000
as you can gather, it was
pretty unpopular story. So they moved

1356
01:39:44,039 --> 01:39:46,000
to America to kind of get away
from that. You know, it's kind

1357
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:51,359
of like being Charles Manson's brother or
something. Wow, you want to get

1358
01:39:51,399 --> 01:39:55,359
away from it. He's a tough
guy to wow. Huh. Yeah.

1359
01:39:55,600 --> 01:40:00,960
So listen. So now you were
a NAMI pilot, right, Yeah,

1360
01:40:00,079 --> 01:40:04,039
I started off as an E one. I was a jail guard in a

1361
01:40:04,039 --> 01:40:08,720
military prison. Okay. I worked
in a state prison too, maximum security,

1362
01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:11,720
went back in, went to flight
school, yes, and I became

1363
01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:15,039
a warrant officer. I was in
the air calf. I was a scout,

1364
01:40:15,279 --> 01:40:21,239
aerial scout, okay. And well, Jesse was Jesse did a bunch.

1365
01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:26,159
He did some toys in Iraq,
and he was ferried around a lot

1366
01:40:26,199 --> 01:40:30,359
in black Hawks and so on and
so forth. Right, Jesse, Yes,

1367
01:40:30,399 --> 01:40:33,359
sir, I was the aviation ops
guy. And then a battle in

1368
01:40:33,439 --> 01:40:40,039
co for some flight type units,
small small little detachment. Say. I

1369
01:40:40,039 --> 01:40:42,359
spent a lot of time in the
U age sixties, once or twice in

1370
01:40:42,359 --> 01:40:46,000
a fifty eight. Yeah, so
I was well, I was in so

1371
01:40:46,119 --> 01:40:50,600
long ago that the Blackhawks were just
coming in when I left the service.

1372
01:40:50,680 --> 01:40:55,279
So really yeah, okay, I
flew I flew us quite a bit.

1373
01:40:55,359 --> 01:40:58,760
The old uh one. I gotta
say, you don't that I love you.

1374
01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:01,039
Don't look that old doctor Gros.
You don't. But that's that's a

1375
01:41:01,039 --> 01:41:04,000
while ago. Yeah, the Hues
they're still around though. Hues are still

1376
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:09,319
around, right yeah, not left
on act of duty, oh non,

1377
01:41:09,600 --> 01:41:12,960
okay, yeah, but I think
they have some at Fort Irwin for like

1378
01:41:13,079 --> 01:41:15,840
op forces training, op for training
and stuff like that, right, yeah,

1379
01:41:15,880 --> 01:41:18,680
special use, but yeah, not
on acturbute. People always talk about

1380
01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:23,159
like classic airplanes and stuff like that. If you ever want to talk about

1381
01:41:23,159 --> 01:41:28,920
a classic helicopter, the Hue has
like did everything and for years and years

1382
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:34,199
and years, real utility in excess
of twelve thousand of those air preferable really

1383
01:41:34,279 --> 01:41:36,960
yeah, and there's still variance today. They're out there flying. Were they

1384
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:44,359
easy to fly? Easy? Uh? Huh. All helicopters are difficult to

1385
01:41:44,399 --> 01:41:47,920
fly. But I would say I
like the Healey a lot. It was

1386
01:41:48,319 --> 01:41:53,800
very simple technology and I didn't have
a lot of fancy stuff that would break

1387
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:57,960
and it was easier to maintain for
the guys to maintain yep, the electronics

1388
01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:00,119
and the you know, the mechanical
parts of it. So it was in

1389
01:42:00,199 --> 01:42:03,279
that way it was it was better
because when the the other helped, the

1390
01:42:03,319 --> 01:42:09,239
newer ones came in, especially the
apaches, he had a lot of downtime

1391
01:42:09,279 --> 01:42:13,439
for maintenance and very fancy. Yeah, they're fancy. So like I flew

1392
01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:18,760
with guys who flew the Cobra too, so right, And although my friend

1393
01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:24,079
who flew Cobras he liked, uh, he liked the the black he went

1394
01:42:24,319 --> 01:42:28,119
transitioned into black Hawks. He liked
those better. Like Cobra's was skinny Hueyes,

1395
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:31,239
you know they were like skinny hueyes, in a way. Yeah,

1396
01:42:31,279 --> 01:42:36,520
same company, yeah, same company. So had a narrow profile. Right

1397
01:42:36,560 --> 01:42:40,560
Where were where were you flying?
Where were you doing all your flying in

1398
01:42:40,600 --> 01:42:45,479
the hulleyes? Uh, it was
in Uh. I never went into combat.

1399
01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:49,119
I always like to say that,
but I was at Fort Bragg.

1400
01:42:49,239 --> 01:42:53,680
I was in eighty second Airborne.
Really yeah, wow, you one of

1401
01:42:53,680 --> 01:42:57,600
those guys. Geez, you were
copped the pilot in the eighty second Airborne.

1402
01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:03,720
Yeah, first seventeenth Air Cavalry and
also the Combat Aviation Battalion. Yeah,

1403
01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:09,840
well and and then yeah yeah,
Jesse, So listen, so when

1404
01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:12,640
you were in what were you win? What was the name of your unit

1405
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:15,399
and so on? Uh, well, it depends on where my first deployment,

1406
01:43:15,399 --> 01:43:18,640
I was part of second Brigade Combat
Team, fourth Infantry Division. Okay.

1407
01:43:18,760 --> 01:43:21,039
When I was in Korea, I
worked in second CAB two I D

1408
01:43:21,479 --> 01:43:27,279
And then my last just like station
before I was a recruiter, was Task

1409
01:43:27,319 --> 01:43:29,960
Force Odin and forthood. So I
kind of jumped around every couple of years.

1410
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:31,439
So what do you think of these
what do you think of these eighty

1411
01:43:31,479 --> 01:43:33,760
second end one guys? What do
you think of these guys? Are they

1412
01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:42,039
they walking around like the rock stars? Correct? Yeah, they are quite

1413
01:43:42,039 --> 01:43:45,560
an air of whoa I believe the
word is pachet. They have a certain

1414
01:43:45,600 --> 01:43:49,479
paschet. Oh really yeah? Okay, wow, Okay, let's which has

1415
01:43:49,479 --> 01:43:54,680
many meetings in the army. Sorry, doctor Bruce, Sorry, you should

1416
01:43:54,680 --> 01:44:00,560
have got us that marijuana description.
So let's let's go up to Let's go

1417
01:44:00,640 --> 01:44:02,279
up the valerie, our mpath valerie. Can he give us a pulse?

1418
01:44:02,359 --> 01:44:09,159
Please? She's looking as disgusted as
she's ever bad. Please tell us I'm

1419
01:44:09,199 --> 01:44:13,640
not disgusted now, okay, but
it's good. Like I said, there's

1420
01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:17,640
a good variety of guests, so
it's you know, the energy is high

1421
01:44:17,720 --> 01:44:21,000
in a positive way. Can you
imagine if wan one was here what this

1422
01:44:21,039 --> 01:44:24,600
would be like. It'd be totally
it. We'd be like the Three Stooges

1423
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:29,239
in nine little frames. Right.
So so all right, let's go back

1424
01:44:29,279 --> 01:44:30,880
to food. Okay, for some
reason, we're talking about military food tonight.

1425
01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:33,880
I'm sorry, but gros Off the
year you said that you were in

1426
01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:41,000
a military prison, correct, So
it is an army military prison. Yeah,

1427
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:45,079
it was the US Army confinement facility
in Mannheim, West Germany when it

1428
01:44:45,119 --> 01:44:47,880
was East and West Germany. That
sounds it really no longer exists. I

1429
01:44:47,880 --> 01:44:51,720
think they tore it down. But
it was horrible, okay, And it

1430
01:44:51,840 --> 01:44:57,600
was we'd have to eat the prison
food made by the prisoners, which is

1431
01:44:57,800 --> 01:45:00,880
not that's a scary proposition. So
the food was horrible. So I ended

1432
01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:03,880
up just bringing my own food.
But every once in a while I put

1433
01:45:03,920 --> 01:45:06,399
my life on the line and ate
some of the real from there. It.

1434
01:45:06,680 --> 01:45:10,720
Let I tell you this one night, go ahead, that they had

1435
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:15,640
three three of the cooks in there
were were murderers. They had committed at

1436
01:45:15,720 --> 01:45:18,439
least one murder. And they all
had knives and they were like cutting beef

1437
01:45:18,479 --> 01:45:21,680
and stuff. And I'm thinking,
who, who's the knucklehead who put these

1438
01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:26,399
three guys in the kitchen with knives? Yeah, and one of them had

1439
01:45:26,399 --> 01:45:30,279
actually stabbed somebody to death? You
know, really, has that knucklehead made

1440
01:45:30,319 --> 01:45:32,880
that assign? Wow? And and
it wasn't like they were spinning. Let's

1441
01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:36,600
go, let's talk fault the inspiration
of your culinary chest. Right, yeah,

1442
01:45:36,640 --> 01:45:40,119
you never leave, doctor Bruce.
Let's have a more open mind,

1443
01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:44,119
really, doctor Bruce. Listen,
it wasn't like they were spitting in your

1444
01:45:44,119 --> 01:45:46,880
food, right, The prisoners wouldn't
do that to the prison gods a person.

1445
01:45:47,239 --> 01:45:49,479
Okay, all right, so you
don't have to worry there. In

1446
01:45:50,800 --> 01:45:57,760
the maximum security prison that I worked
in in Minnesota, we found like metal

1447
01:45:57,840 --> 01:46:01,000
shavings, like from a metal lathe
go ahead. And then the mashed potatoes.

1448
01:46:01,000 --> 01:46:04,000
Oh really, yeah, trying to
put a little iron into your diet.

1449
01:46:04,079 --> 01:46:08,880
Understand why it has to be such
negativity, bumping on the negative,

1450
01:46:09,039 --> 01:46:11,800
the bumping out. That was the
first and last time I ate in that

1451
01:46:11,880 --> 01:46:15,039
maximum scirity dining hall. So listen
to get into Matt, I just kind

1452
01:46:15,079 --> 01:46:17,920
of throw this out back. I'm
yes, go ahead, food on the

1453
01:46:17,960 --> 01:46:20,439
Teddy Roosevelt. Starting to sound a
little bit better. Now, Yeah,

1454
01:46:20,439 --> 01:46:24,960
I'm not hugging anymore? Are we
bumping up the star? I have a

1455
01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:28,720
little did I know? I was
fine dining on the aircraft carrier right,

1456
01:46:29,159 --> 01:46:36,079
It was like you were on a
cruise. Wow. As a professor.

1457
01:46:36,119 --> 01:46:41,399
I was visiting the Boxer, the
USS Boxer, Yes, the amphibious assault

1458
01:46:41,399 --> 01:46:46,279
ship and we went from Singapore to
uh Fouquet in Thailand and uh so I

1459
01:46:46,319 --> 01:46:50,079
was a civilian on board as a
professor, teaching them how to use how

1460
01:46:50,119 --> 01:46:54,279
to do online education. This is
like before nine to eleven, so this

1461
01:46:54,319 --> 01:46:57,680
is a long time ago. Go
ahead. But they said I could eat

1462
01:46:57,680 --> 01:47:00,720
with the officers, right, And
I did that and then I thought that's

1463
01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:03,319
pretty boring. So then they said, well, you know you can if

1464
01:47:03,359 --> 01:47:05,119
you want to eat with the crew, you can. So I went and

1465
01:47:05,720 --> 01:47:09,680
I stood online, you know,
with the with the crew, and they

1466
01:47:09,680 --> 01:47:11,319
said, hey, you can be
in front of me, and I said

1467
01:47:11,359 --> 01:47:14,119
no, I'll wait my turn.
I got there and there's like a dog

1468
01:47:14,239 --> 01:47:16,439
dish, you know. They gave
me and by the time I got through

1469
01:47:16,479 --> 01:47:19,920
the line, there was hardly any
food less. Oh and I sat down

1470
01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:23,479
and these guys are looking at me
like, why are you eating with us?

1471
01:47:23,760 --> 01:47:27,720
Yeah, and you should be eaten
in the officers mess I said no,

1472
01:47:27,840 --> 01:47:30,159
I wanted to be with the crew, and then they kind of thought

1473
01:47:30,199 --> 01:47:32,359
that was cool. So yeah,
okay, all right, but yeah,

1474
01:47:32,479 --> 01:47:35,680
it just reminds me that I think
the food is okay, there just wasn't

1475
01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:39,520
enough of it by the time I
got through the jewel line. So so

1476
01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:42,000
going back to the prison for a
second. What's the name of the prison

1477
01:47:42,039 --> 01:47:48,479
because it just sounds terrible. The
US Army Confinement Facility in Mannheim, West

1478
01:47:48,520 --> 01:47:53,199
German. Okay, so what so
these are we had a population go ahead,

1479
01:47:53,439 --> 01:47:56,279
these are all Army and Air Force
guys. Army and Air Force.

1480
01:47:57,319 --> 01:48:00,359
We always had about two hundred of
them from all over the European Command.

1481
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:04,680
And what was just like from seventy
nine to eighty one. Wow, that's

1482
01:48:04,680 --> 01:48:08,239
when I was there. How old
are you? You look like you're about

1483
01:48:08,319 --> 01:48:12,439
We have murderers, we had yet, go ahead, we had murderers,

1484
01:48:12,520 --> 01:48:15,520
rapists, we had guys selling arms
and ammunition to terrorists. You know,

1485
01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:18,159
we had all kinds of terrible.
Really. Yeah, so that's what it

1486
01:48:18,239 --> 01:48:21,119
took. That's what it took,
something like that to get locked up where

1487
01:48:21,159 --> 01:48:26,239
you were. Well, we had
those guys, and then we had the

1488
01:48:26,239 --> 01:48:29,920
guys who hit their commanding officer too
or did something, you know, in

1489
01:48:29,960 --> 01:48:32,680
subordination. They were there for a
shorter period of time. But the ones

1490
01:48:32,680 --> 01:48:38,079
that did serious stuff, we processed
them to go back to Fort Leavenworth to

1491
01:48:38,119 --> 01:48:42,560
do hard time. Yes, yeah, at the disciplinary bars make little rocks

1492
01:48:42,560 --> 01:48:45,279
out of big ones. That was
not the place to go. No,

1493
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:48,000
Hey, Jesse, I gartered a
guy on death row. Oh really on

1494
01:48:48,039 --> 01:48:53,079
death row. They're at the disciplinary
ver he wanted to I remember that guy.

1495
01:48:53,159 --> 01:48:55,479
Yeah, did he want to go? Oh? Was he afraid?

1496
01:48:55,800 --> 01:48:57,800
Did he want to go? Or
was he He was nuts? He was

1497
01:48:57,800 --> 01:49:01,439
completely nuts, nuts, He was
completely nuts. He killed three guys in

1498
01:49:01,479 --> 01:49:03,920
a tank. He was he was
a tank commander, he was an n

1499
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:08,760
c O. And he fired his
tank into another tank and killed the guys

1500
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:11,000
that were I think it was at
least three guys in there that died.

1501
01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:14,680
And he gave no reason other than
he wanted to get out of the army.

1502
01:49:14,880 --> 01:49:16,000
That was the only thing I heard
well that did it, so he

1503
01:49:16,079 --> 01:49:19,680
was sentenced to death. He rimmed
his tank into another tank and killed the

1504
01:49:19,680 --> 01:49:25,159
three guys in his tank. He
shot a round into another tank. Really,

1505
01:49:25,439 --> 01:49:28,600
I think they called it a sable
Yeah. Yeah, the sable round

1506
01:49:28,640 --> 01:49:31,600
goes through the goes through the hall
and explodes inside. Yeah. Wow wow,

1507
01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:34,439
what a way. Yeah, what
a way to get out of the

1508
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:38,680
army. Yeah. People can look
him up. Wyatt, Wyatt, Matthews.

1509
01:49:38,880 --> 01:49:43,479
His sentence was commuted though it was
he's doing life. Really he should

1510
01:49:43,520 --> 01:49:45,640
have been like Clinger and didn't get
put to death, should have been like

1511
01:49:45,720 --> 01:49:48,640
Cleaner and wore address. Three people
would still be around today. Hey,

1512
01:49:48,640 --> 01:49:50,680
listen, Jesse, you I haven't
wanted to take a swing at one of

1513
01:49:50,680 --> 01:49:54,600
your offices ever. Want to take
a swing at one of your offices?

1514
01:49:54,800 --> 01:49:59,479
Have you taken a swing at one
of your offices? I don't think I've

1515
01:49:59,479 --> 01:50:02,359
ever taken a I've gotten in some
pretty heated arguments, but I think in

1516
01:50:02,399 --> 01:50:08,239
the especially like downrange, when most
of those conflicts would happen, everybody kind

1517
01:50:08,399 --> 01:50:13,079
understands for the most part that it's
just tensions are really high and conflict like

1518
01:50:13,119 --> 01:50:15,920
that's more likely going to happen at
some point. So were you ever in

1519
01:50:15,960 --> 01:50:21,960
a tight spot in Iraq? Justing, yes, yes, tell us the

1520
01:50:23,239 --> 01:50:29,000
tell us the hairiest one please m
One time, I think I was working

1521
01:50:29,359 --> 01:50:33,239
at this airfield and we had just
gotten to this airfield, really small little

1522
01:50:33,279 --> 01:50:38,960
fob, really small airfield that could
hold I think four U Age sixties and

1523
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:44,079
then one really small foreign aircraft because
we were working with coalition forces like some

1524
01:50:44,119 --> 01:50:49,159
people from other countries, and we
had gotten probably like forty or fifty rocket

1525
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:54,279
like landing inside of this small area
in a matter of like two hours.

1526
01:50:54,319 --> 01:50:58,199
Maybe it destroyed our defact, destroyed
a bunch of the barracks that we were

1527
01:50:58,239 --> 01:51:01,000
in, destroyed the truck that was
like parked right behind the building that I

1528
01:51:01,079 --> 01:51:06,760
was in with my soldiers. Basically
like when the round started coming in,

1529
01:51:06,840 --> 01:51:11,079
we had our soldiers like out as
a E five E six at the time,

1530
01:51:11,119 --> 01:51:14,079
so I had five or six soldiers
directly under me, yep, and

1531
01:51:14,119 --> 01:51:15,479
we just basically told them all to
drop to the floor. And then when

1532
01:51:15,479 --> 01:51:20,159
we dropped down, big blasts and
we look up and there's just metal shrapnel

1533
01:51:20,319 --> 01:51:24,079
just high enough over the HESCO barriers. Because we used to have these big

1534
01:51:24,159 --> 01:51:27,840
sand like this big sand bag things
filled with rocks and gravel and stuff to

1535
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:32,119
kind of prevent shrapnel fire from getting
like five feet in below. But everything

1536
01:51:32,159 --> 01:51:36,479
over that was just pretty much trashed
through our whole living area and eating area,

1537
01:51:36,560 --> 01:51:39,640
and it was it was a mess. I think some dude died in

1538
01:51:39,640 --> 01:51:43,479
the outhouse, a couple of Arzilians
died in the building. And yeah,

1539
01:51:43,680 --> 01:51:45,880
it was a rough couple hours.
Yeah, two hours, man, Oh

1540
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:50,520
geez, that's really tough. So
it's funny we talked about military food,

1541
01:51:50,600 --> 01:51:55,000
but like, I couldn't believe anything
they stood after that. It's the only

1542
01:51:55,079 --> 01:51:58,680
thing I can say. So,
yeah, who was you know, mortoring

1543
01:51:58,680 --> 01:52:02,039
you? It sounds like a rocketing
with like Iraqi insurgents, Saddam's boys that

1544
01:52:02,159 --> 01:52:06,319
yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, mostly insurgency. It's just there's so

1545
01:52:06,439 --> 01:52:11,439
many used They have access to so
many of these old rounds and rockets,

1546
01:52:11,479 --> 01:52:15,840
and they would just jerry rigamond old
rails and this place was in a really

1547
01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:17,920
bad location. There was a lot
of terrain much higher farther away, and

1548
01:52:17,960 --> 01:52:21,880
they could just basically aim rocket rails
down, set them on timers and you'd

1549
01:52:21,920 --> 01:52:25,319
never find these people because they could
walk away for an hour or two,

1550
01:52:25,800 --> 01:52:30,039
and then it would just be one
after another until however many rockets they had

1551
01:52:30,159 --> 01:52:33,439
wow finish firing off. Yeah,
they got real good at it. They

1552
01:52:33,479 --> 01:52:39,199
got real good at improvising stuff.
You know. I hate to say,

1553
01:52:39,680 --> 01:52:41,960
Hey, listen, so we're coming
to the end, so I'm gonna have

1554
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:45,000
everyone plug. Okay, so let's
not Bruce. Let's start with you,

1555
01:52:45,119 --> 01:52:51,039
Bruce. What are you doing lately? Please tell us? Well, I'm

1556
01:52:51,079 --> 01:52:57,760
working on a actually a comic book. It comes out in the free Yes,

1557
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:04,000

1559
01:53:08,680 --> 01:53:12,359
about dark too? So it's actually
the same. It's it's a graphic novel.

1560
01:53:12,439 --> 01:53:15,239
The first one was a comic,
but this one's actually graphic novel.

1561
01:53:15,319 --> 01:53:20,199
Is it about a knock? That's
no, it's about it. It's an

1562
01:53:20,239 --> 01:53:28,039
alien hybrid character comes to Earth with
a mission to uh prepare us for invasion?

1563
01:53:28,119 --> 01:53:32,520
So good sounds good sci fi humor
history. Okay, welcome back on

1564
01:53:32,560 --> 01:53:36,239
when it comes out, let us
know, come back on okay, yes,

1565
01:53:36,319 --> 01:53:40,359

about your your aunt, right,

1566
01:53:40,640 --> 01:53:45,079
you're good looking aunt? Is that
what happened your aunt. Yeah, she

1567
01:53:45,920 --> 01:53:48,439
was. She was always. She
kept herself very you know, till the

1568
01:53:48,560 --> 01:53:51,239
end. Really she died and I
think she's about eighty, but she still

1569
01:53:51,279 --> 01:53:56,680
looked pretty good. But yeah,
kind of an evil, evil heart.

1570
01:53:56,800 --> 01:54:00,680
It's a real good thing. Loved
animals though, isn't it. She loved

1571
01:54:00,720 --> 01:54:02,840
animals, Oh my goodness. Yes, she loved animals more than people.

1572
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:06,279
So she took in rescue animals and
stuff. Really. Yeah, Okay,

1573
01:54:06,319 --> 01:54:12,000
well that's uh, the fact I
didn't want to get on her talk politics.

1574
01:54:13,680 --> 01:54:16,039
It's good advice anyone. Thank you
doctor Bruce for joining us. We'll

1581
01:54:38,039 --> 01:54:44,640
topics specifically or mostly UFO's conspiracy,
alternative history type things, really, anything

1582
01:54:44,680 --> 01:54:48,720
that's not generally discussed among circles of
people. Did you see anything when you

1583
01:54:48,720 --> 01:54:55,000
were in Iraq? Did you see
anything weird flying around paranormal, you know,

1584
01:54:55,119 --> 01:54:57,760
not that not that I noticed.
And at that point in my life,

1585
01:54:57,760 --> 01:55:00,600
I wasn't really looking into that stuff, so I was looking forward or

1586
01:55:00,600 --> 01:55:03,399
really my mind wasn't really open to
any of that. I was just kind

1587

1622
01:57:29,520 --> 01:57:33,520
I'm also featured in The Mothman Legacy
by Small Town Monsters as one of the

1623
01:57:33,600 --> 01:57:36,800
talking heads, which is a sequel
to The Mothman of Point Pleasant. And

1624
01:57:36,840 --> 01:57:41,640
I'm also writing a book as yet
to have a title. Wow, he's

1625
01:57:41,640 --> 01:57:44,840
never been out sometime this decade.
He's never plugged anything before. Home of

1626
01:57:44,880 --> 01:57:47,680
a sudden. This is something he's
on adderall or something. Something's up from

1627
01:57:47,760 --> 01:57:53,119
him. Yes, would they call
it? There was no label in the

1628
01:57:53,119 --> 01:57:56,000
bottle, so I don't know what
it was. Exactly, Thank you,

1629
01:57:56,039 --> 01:58:00,119
Switchy, Cocoa. Wait a repeat, right, exactly, Coco, thank

1630
01:58:00,159 --> 01:58:03,039
you? What can I say?
You filled the JJ's big clown shoes.

1631
01:58:03,079 --> 01:58:08,319
We appreciate it. Well, well, you know it's a mission, Mac

1632
01:58:08,399 --> 01:58:12,199
you call me. I try to
be there. Mission completed mission accomplished.

1633
01:58:12,239 --> 01:58:15,319
Thank you very much. Thanks for
everyone for joining us. I just go

1634
01:58:15,439 --> 01:58:17,600
very quickly. The plugs are Homes
for our troops. Homes for our Troops

1635
01:58:17,600 --> 01:58:24,720
is a military charity. They built
homes so wounded Iraqi and Fanny war veterans,

1636
01:58:24,720 --> 01:58:27,520
and then they give them the home, They adapt the home to whatever

1637
01:58:27,560 --> 01:58:31,039
their disability might be. They give
them the keys, no mortgage, nothing,

1638
01:58:31,159 --> 01:58:34,920
Homes for our Troops. Please google
them. Eighty eight cents of every

1639
01:58:35,239 --> 01:58:41,039
dollar that you contribute go to our
troops and our veterans. And they're the

1640
01:58:41,119 --> 01:58:45,760
highest military charity there is out there. Also the People's Mosquito Project Ross Shop.

1641
01:58:45,800 --> 01:58:49,479
Our good friend and a bunch of
his mad english Men putting back together

1642
01:58:49,520 --> 01:58:54,760
a mosquito war plane from World War
Two. It was a wooden plane that

1643
01:58:54,920 --> 01:58:58,119
made by Cabinet Makings because the UK
was running out of steel and metal,

1644
01:58:58,399 --> 01:59:00,479
and they put two rolls Royce engines
on it and it turned out to be

1645
01:59:00,520 --> 01:59:04,159
one of the fastest things in the
wall. People's Mosquito Project. These guys

1646
01:59:04,199 --> 01:59:06,840
are putting it back together and they're
going to give us rides on it.

1647
01:59:06,920 --> 01:59:13,279
Coco Correct working on that mac working
on it. Thank you very much.
