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