Speaker 1: This is the 77 wabc minicast.
Speaker 2: The first shift the great shift welcome to the other
Speaker 2: side of midnight dave scott canadian what was the worst
Speaker 2: vacation you ever had.
Speaker 3: Every staycation I was forced to take by Rogers Media
Speaker 3: Company because they didn't pay me enough to put money
Speaker 3: away to actually have a true vacation.
Speaker 2: Whenever people say, well, you know, I think I'll just
Speaker 2: stay home and have a staycation, I know they're broke.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will never have another staycation in my life.
Speaker 3: I had to have too many of them when I
Speaker 3: worked in radio back in the... 90s and early 2000s.
Speaker 3: And I just figured, you know what, from now on,
Speaker 3: why waste my time sitting at home twiddling my thumbs
Speaker 3: when I could at least be getting paid for it?
Speaker 2: I think by federal law, federal Canadian law, that if
Speaker 2: you're in radio, you're working in radio, you don't go
Speaker 2: on vacation.
Speaker 3: Well, Rogers used to force us.
Speaker 2: I mean, travel.
Speaker 3: Oh, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: You're not allowed to travel. No, a smart company will
Speaker 2: make you take the vacation. What I've said to my
Speaker 2: friends is you've got to understand they're paying you to
Speaker 2: take time off. Therefore, it must be very important. Probably
Speaker 2: you should do it.
Speaker 3: I never thought about it that way. Right.
Speaker 2: And I know people, big jobs, who don't take vacation. Well,
Speaker 2: you know, I don't take vacation because I love my job. No, no, no.
Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with liking or not liking
Speaker 2: your job. Everybody needs a different perspective and a break.
Speaker 2: And even if you're very serious about your vacation, you
Speaker 2: will learn something about yourself or about the world that
Speaker 2: will help you do your job. And especially if you travel,
Speaker 2: I am so glad that I took a trip. This
Speaker 2: was the sweetest trip. I took a trip to the
Speaker 2: Park Hyatt across from that spectacular theater in Sydney, Australia.
Speaker 2: at the Sydney Harbour, at the Park Hyatt, overlooking the
Speaker 2: Sydney Harbour. I was there for 10 days because I
Speaker 2: had so many hotel points and so many American airline
Speaker 2: points that the whole trip cost me $ 800 for the rent-a-car.
Speaker 2: And it was just great. But I learned a great
Speaker 2: deal because I listened to Australia Radio. And the first
Speaker 2: thing I heard on Sydney Radio was, number one talk
Speaker 2: station in Sydney, 2GB, their big star. I turn on
Speaker 2: the radio, and I hear him cursing. And cursing in
Speaker 2: ways that if you or I did, we'd be fired.
Speaker 2: But it's legal in Australia. And you know what? Nobody died.
Speaker 2: Nobody in Sydney was reported dead because they heard a
Speaker 2: guy cursing on the radio. Isn't that amazing?
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, it literally is. Nobody died. That amazes me. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now they're trying to, instead of using proper English, we
Speaker 3: have to make up these terms like unalive and pew-pews
Speaker 3: for guns. You know, it's ridiculous how that's going. That
Speaker 3: they're censoring us on social media and other places because
Speaker 3: words can hurt.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, what's the name of your FCC? I just
Speaker 2: slipped my mind.
Speaker 3: The CRTC.
Speaker 2: I'm sitting at a convention. the Canadian Music Week convention,
Speaker 2: which is the best convention I've ever been to. And
Speaker 2: I'm sitting next to a member of the CRTC on
Speaker 2: a panel. And they're going over things that they had
Speaker 2: to censor. And he's going, da-da-da, and when we did this,
Speaker 2: and the Power Rangers.
Speaker 3: I said, what?
Speaker 2: Yes, there was an incident with the Power Rangers. We
Speaker 2: were afraid it would incite violence in children. I looked
Speaker 2: at him in front of 500 people. I said, That's
Speaker 2: a cartoon. And the place went crazy. They went crazy.
Speaker 2: It was an idiot. Your CRTC, the guy was saying, yeah,
Speaker 2: we've censored a cartoon. It's a cartoon. It's silly what
Speaker 2: they get excited about. And throughout history, as you know,
Speaker 2: the standards change. They move. Our culture changes. To put
Speaker 2: in absolutes about what you can and can't say, always
Speaker 2: at some point makes you look ridiculous because it has evolved.
Speaker 2: Lucy and Desi could not sleep in the same bed
Speaker 2: is the favorite example. And I love Lucy. They couldn't
Speaker 2: sleep in the same bed.
Speaker 3: Well, hopefully we grow up a little bit more.
Speaker 2: All right, my friend. All right, Dave Scott, my friend.
Speaker 2: What do you have to report from outer space?
Speaker 3: Well, there's a new UFO poll out put up by Gallup.
Speaker 3: the famous polling station, and every few years, about every
Speaker 3: 70 years, they do this poll about whether or not
Speaker 3: Americans believe the government is withholding UFO information. The question,
Speaker 3: in your opinion, does the United States government know more
Speaker 3: about UFOs than it is telling us? Now, in 1996,
Speaker 3: it was 71% yes, 19% no, and 10% had no opinion.
Speaker 3: Those numbers switched a little bit in 2019, going down
Speaker 3: to 68% yes, 29% no, and 2% no opinion. Fast
Speaker 3: forward to today, it is now 78% of all Americans
Speaker 3: believing that the government is playing shenanigans. I'm using that
Speaker 3: word again two nights in a row because I know
Speaker 3: you like it. Shenanigans. with UFOs. No 17% people don't
Speaker 3: believe that there's anything UFO-related here, and 5% is no opinion. Now,
Speaker 3: this is an incredible stat that it really goes to
Speaker 3: show that the American public is starting to pay attention
Speaker 3: to the whole UFO subject, and especially that we may
Speaker 3: not be alone in the universe. It's the highest number
Speaker 3: that I've ever seen at 78%. So good on you,
Speaker 3: United States, for starting to believe that the aliens are
Speaker 3: here and maybe are going to bring us some toast.
Speaker 2: Does it match your numbers, what you believe?
Speaker 3: I thought it was going to be around 55-60%, to
Speaker 3: be honest. I mean, to be over three-quarters... of the
Speaker 3: United States believing this. I think the disclosure movement, it
Speaker 3: means that it's moving forward on a public level. Now,
Speaker 3: it doesn't mean the government is going to come out
Speaker 3: with any sort of disclosure, but the American public's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: they're probably there. It also gives me hope that we're
Speaker 3: not going to see a bunch of wingnuts go crazy
Speaker 3: if all of a sudden the president comes out and says, hey,
Speaker 3: we are not alone in this universe.
Speaker 2: My concern is that Let's say the files that have
Speaker 2: been released so far, and there's nothing. In fact, as
Speaker 2: you pointed out and you revealed, one of my favorite
Speaker 2: files is a Walter Cronkite interview of an astronaut that
Speaker 2: was aired on the secret network known as CBS. And
Speaker 2: that's how ridiculous they've been. But let's say that's it,
Speaker 2: that all the files that are going to be released
Speaker 2: are are in fact all of the files, and that's
Speaker 2: the stuff that's in there. If that's the case, if
Speaker 2: it's the absolute truth, the government will never be able
Speaker 2: to sell it. We won't believe that that's the absolute truth.
Speaker 3: You're right, and it comes down to the technology, which
Speaker 3: is why I'm very staunch on reminding people there is
Speaker 3: a huge difference between UFOs, and what the government is
Speaker 3: calling UAP, Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. My sources over the years
Speaker 3: have told me that UAP are man-made objects, man-made objects
Speaker 3: being from drones to any sort of weather balloon or
Speaker 3: anything that could be flying in the sky. And as
Speaker 3: long as we're discerning what is right from wrong, they
Speaker 3: don't have to give up the UFO story because they
Speaker 3: got their UAP story to cover it up.
Speaker 2: It's interesting how many people who used to work in
Speaker 2: the government come out and say, yeah, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of stuff there. There are alien bodies. There are aliens alive.
Speaker 2: There's technology. They come out. They reveal it. They say
Speaker 2: it's true. And then they don't talk anymore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we get that all the time. And it's just
Speaker 3: like they just want to get that off their chest.
Speaker 3: That way they can say that they did their little part.
Speaker 3: Maybe they are on their last breaths on this planet,
Speaker 3: or maybe that they are just tired of the secrecy.
Speaker 3: And maybe they worked for government agencies where they saw things.
Speaker 3: I mean, this is all possible. I mean, a lot
Speaker 3: more people, like you always hear the argument, Walter, well,
Speaker 3: if it was really out there, more people would speak up.
Speaker 3: More people are afraid of their nondisclosure agreements than their pensions,
Speaker 3: their social security checks, what could happen to their families,
Speaker 3: than they are about talking about UFOs. And the last
Speaker 3: thing they want is to be ruined financially because they
Speaker 3: spoke when they should.
Speaker 2: Now, I shared some of that letter I sent to
Speaker 2: you and Ross. A listener wrote in saying, I need
Speaker 2: to be very careful what I say about technology and
Speaker 2: that the government might have. I didn't say the person's name.
Speaker 2: I didn't say what their job had been. But this
Speaker 2: piqued your interest quite a bit. Why are you so
Speaker 2: interested in that note?
Speaker 3: Three little letters that they used to work for.
Speaker 2: Okay, got it. Do you think it's legit?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, it could be somebody who's fear-mongering. The only
Speaker 3: way we're going to find out is if Ross and
Speaker 3: I are able to talk to the person.
Speaker 2: Well, I hope you can, because it would be... There
Speaker 2: couldn't be two better reporters, and I would feel very
Speaker 2: safe with both of you making that call because you're
Speaker 2: not going to trip anything, and you're going to find
Speaker 2: out information. I think it would be very exciting and interesting. Now,
Speaker 2: more importantly, do you have any Sasquatch information?
Speaker 3: Not tonight. I'm taking a week off my Sasquatch, but
Speaker 3: I do have something for you. Because last night you
Speaker 3: kind of threw– a quick story that you wanted to
Speaker 3: do because you're going on the air Saturday morning. Yes, please. Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 3: You wanted a number of people, a few people to
Speaker 3: put together a panel about alien abduction, people who have
Speaker 3: been taken. Man, have I got a panel for you coming.
Speaker 2: All right, so this Saturday, bonus track, usually I don't
Speaker 2: work Saturday morning, but this weekend I'm working Tuesday. Saturday,
Speaker 2: they had some scheduling challenges and asked Walter Sterling if
Speaker 2: he could step up and help the family. And the
Speaker 2: answer is yes, of course. And I thought, well, let's
Speaker 2: make something special, something promotable. So something special is we're
Speaker 2: going to have on a panel of abductees. And Dave
Speaker 2: Scott has put it together. Dave, tell us about this panel.
Speaker 3: Well, there's four people coming on with you, Walter.
Speaker 1: Fabulous.
Speaker 3: Yes, a lady named Beth, who is... She doesn't like
Speaker 3: to call herself an abductee. She likes to call herself
Speaker 3: a contactee, who has had contact numerous times over the decades.
Speaker 3: A lady named Nicole is coming on. You're going to
Speaker 3: love her. I could actually see you bringing her on
Speaker 3: as a guest frequently, because she's so well-versed in the
Speaker 3: UFO world. After having her own personal experiences from ports
Speaker 3: putting aliens scaring her dog inside her house to missing time.
Speaker 3: Josh Rutledge from MUFON in Phoenix is going to be
Speaker 3: joining you. He's an abductee who is able to summon
Speaker 3: down UFOs. And Grant Baker, my UFO reporter, is going
Speaker 3: to be joining you. So that way he could tell
Speaker 3: you about his missing time and UFO experiences.
Speaker 2: This will be fantastic, and you and I will talk
Speaker 2: and coordinate how to do it, but my plan is,
Speaker 2: it's a three-hour show, my plan is to have them
Speaker 2: on for about two hours and really tell their stories.
Speaker 2: Take the time, take us there, what it felt like, everything, beginning, middle,
Speaker 2: and end, and what the result has been in their lives,
Speaker 2: in their thinking, in their view of the universe. Does
Speaker 2: that sound like a good plan?
Speaker 3: It does, and I will tell you that Nicole's She
Speaker 3: is so excited to finally chat with you. She listens
Speaker 3: every night when I'm on the air with you.
Speaker 2: Nicole, I'm really sorry, but you've got to do something else.
Speaker 2: Get ice cream or something, Nicole.
Speaker 3: She eats peanut butter at night.
Speaker 2: I don't even want to know how you know.
Speaker 3: Well, she told me. She's one of my best friends.
Speaker 3: All right, good. And she's been listening to you since
Speaker 3: you were on KMOX a long, long time ago. So
Speaker 3: she's been listening to you for years.
Speaker 2: That's fantastic. We're still on KMOX every night. I'm on
Speaker 2: KMOX right now.
Speaker 3: Yes, I know. And that's where she tunes in to
Speaker 3: listen to us.
Speaker 2: I am the king of the 50 clears, Dave.
Speaker 3: I don't know what that means. I'm way too Canadian
Speaker 3: to understand that.
Speaker 2: You have 50 clears, like CFRBs have 50 clear. 50,000-watt
Speaker 2: signal without limits.
Speaker 3: There we go.
Speaker 2: There you go. All right, you're my friend, Dave Scott.
Speaker 2: You and I will talk tomorrow. We're going to coordinate that,
Speaker 2: make it work. I'm very excited. We're going to have
Speaker 2: an entire show with abductees Saturday morning. Great shift, the
Speaker 2: first shift, and really give them the time to tell
Speaker 2: their stories. Dave Scott, SpacedOutRadio.com. YouTube, every show he's ever done, spacedoutradio.com,
