Speaker 1: For this episode of A Strange Thing Podcast, the drinking
Speaker 1: word is but anyway, but it'll sound like but No.
Speaker 1: For this episode of a Strange Thing Podcast, the drinking
Speaker 1: words are but anyway, but they will sound like but anyway.
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, hey guys, hey guys, welcome to episode number.
Speaker 1: That a Strange Thing Podcast. I'm like, I'm Austin as always,
Speaker 1: ye and we're your hosts.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so hey, what do we do in Austin.
Speaker 2: We are recovering, We are recovering. Yeah, we had kind
Speaker 2: of a you know, we were going to do a
Speaker 2: strange hollow Earth this week, and we were going to
Speaker 2: go out and get into the hollow earth. But we
Speaker 2: didn't get to do that.
Speaker 1: See my dad is kind of like the second thermodynamics,
Speaker 1: and everything inside of his body is winding down.
Speaker 2: Running down. Yeah, yeah, especially that little sphincter object. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's it's a it's an appendix, but where it connects
Speaker 2: to your large intestine, there's like a little sphincter and
Speaker 2: that can get kind of plugged up or something.
Speaker 1: See a lot of people when they hear the word sphincter,
Speaker 1: they think of people's eyeballs and the muscle that contracts
Speaker 1: the people the eyeballsphint.
Speaker 2: I think of Germans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Finka, Yeah he could be sphink the album.
Speaker 2: We're already getting weird. But yeah, yeah, So what happened,
Speaker 2: I'll let you set it up because you being funny.
Speaker 1: Well, I woke up and went to work and I
Speaker 1: got a text message roum your mom from my mom.
Speaker 1: It was actually pretty early, it might have been like
Speaker 1: by the time I got to work, but she said
Speaker 1: that you were in the hospital stomach pains at the er.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: They think it's the appendix, yep. And it was the appendix.
Speaker 1: It was the appendix, the first part of a book.
Speaker 2: So yeah, not the stuff fix and yeah, it was
Speaker 2: the appendix. And anyway, Yeah, so I ended up having
Speaker 2: an emergency surgery for a ruptured appendix sphinx. Yeah that
Speaker 2: was fun. The sphincter in my appendix got blockaded and infected. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I wasn't feeling good for a day and then
Speaker 2: next thing you know, they're like taking me in and
Speaker 2: getting stuff done. And then afterwards I've found out that
Speaker 2: they intubated me. So now my vocal cords are a
Speaker 2: little messed up.
Speaker 1: I'm feeling kind of soft, So.
Speaker 2: I got that old age voice going up. Yeah, I've
Speaker 2: got three little puncture wounds and my abdomen nice. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And they you know, they don't even really like, you know,
Speaker 2: cut you open anymore. If they can do the laparoscopic stuff.
Speaker 1: It's like a little hole.
Speaker 2: Yeah, three little holes when right above my navel, which
Speaker 2: is kind of weird because a lot of the like
Speaker 2: abduction stuff, you know, with UFOs and aliens, they like
Speaker 2: prod and poked people through their navel.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, kind of as a joke, if
Speaker 1: you weren't feeling good and I had to like come
Speaker 1: up with a funny thing to post so people didn't
Speaker 1: wonder where we died, I was gonna say, like, remember
Speaker 1: how Dad was talking about those strange experiences he had
Speaker 1: in his house when he was young.
Speaker 2: Well, it turns out he was abducted and they came.
Speaker 1: Back and they had probed him and they had inserted
Speaker 1: this tiny little metal tracking device. But with all the
Speaker 1: five G network stuff going on, it started to interfere
Speaker 1: with the tracking device and it started to overheat and
Speaker 1: a cause severe painness. They had to replace, and in
Speaker 1: an X ray they found alien technology then he got
Speaker 1: shipped Area fifty one. They have a specialty surgery. Then.
Speaker 2: Now it wasn't quite like that. It was actually, you know,
Speaker 2: as far as surgeries go, it was like not a
Speaker 2: big deal. They just kind of I don't know, I
Speaker 2: fell asleep and I woke up and I had like
Speaker 2: weird shaving, you know, stuff on me. So it kind
Speaker 2: of looked like, you know, what do they call those
Speaker 2: patterns that.
Speaker 1: Are out crosscaping?
Speaker 2: Yeah, except for it was mic circles, cross circles, yeah,
Speaker 2: cock circles. No, I don't know they Yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: want to talk about that, but yeah, they did that.
Speaker 2: I found out I was intubated, which you know, I
Speaker 2: didn't know they were going to do that, but I
Speaker 2: guess they do that if they want to keep your
Speaker 2: oxygen level up a little bit. And they gave me
Speaker 2: some good drugs that may be made my oxygen. It
Speaker 2: was a little too.
Speaker 1: Relaxed, a little too Yeah.
Speaker 2: So anyway, I got that going on for me, and
Speaker 2: then also I found out that I was I was catheterized,
Speaker 2: shortest catheter they've ever used. I don't know, they didn't
Speaker 2: give me the length. I mean, hopefully they didn't charge
Speaker 2: by the length, but well maybe maybe they should have
Speaker 2: it would have been cheaper. But anyway, I found out
Speaker 2: that the hard way, which.
Speaker 1: Was hard way.
Speaker 2: No. I mean the first time you're out and you're like, man,
Speaker 2: I go to the bathroom. So you go in there
Speaker 2: and you're like, okay, I'm gonna go now, and then it's.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, what.
Speaker 2: The fuck, I'm on fire?
Speaker 1: Put it up?
Speaker 2: Put it up? No, it was yeah, So and then
Speaker 2: I asked them. I asked them in the in the
Speaker 2: recovery room. It's like, did they catheterize me or something?
Speaker 1: Because that hurt?
Speaker 2: And they're like no, we like, well somebody did something.
Speaker 2: So then then later they moved me into another room.
Speaker 2: There were actually a shortage of hospital beds. Whoa, and
Speaker 2: so rather than you know, checking me into a room,
Speaker 2: they put me out of here. They put me in
Speaker 2: a little side room.
Speaker 1: What was that guy's name, Alfredo? I don't know, it
Speaker 1: was Alfredo Drive.
Speaker 2: Why do you ask that?
Speaker 1: The nurse memories, like, you probably don't remember this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was the funny.
Speaker 1: The other girl was Vanessa. Yeah, so he's like, hey,
Speaker 1: my name is ALFREDA to be taking up for Vanessa.
Speaker 1: And then dad goes your name is Vanessa. He's like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I mean he's not Alfredo.
Speaker 2: You seem like, yeah, he was kind of smart. Guy
Speaker 2: liked him and he.
Speaker 1: Had like a He reminded me of the guy from Disturbed,
Speaker 1: the singer Wow. That guy.
Speaker 2: He reminded me the guy from Money. What's the one
Speaker 2: where they sit around and they then circled to.
Speaker 1: Start TV show. Yeah, that seventy show.
Speaker 2: That seventy show. Remembered that the guy on the that
Speaker 2: seventies show that was the little Vez.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was like Vezz kind of but he was quick.
Speaker 1: He had that quirky Hispanic humor and you couldn't keep
Speaker 1: up because you were all drugging. And he's like, my
Speaker 1: name is Off I'm going to be taking over for Vanessa.
Speaker 1: And you're like, your name is Vanessa and he's like, no,
Speaker 1: my name is not Vanessa. You can see him.
Speaker 2: My name is in my mind. I'm thinking, would you
Speaker 2: just please slow down talking.
Speaker 1: He's like, so, so, what is the deal here or
Speaker 1: what you got some a little bit of starchy? You
Speaker 1: want to have a little bit of a like some
Speaker 1: pudding or some jellow or what. And then you're like, hey,
Speaker 1: diabetic and trying eat a little bit of I'm trying
Speaker 1: not eat sugar. He's like, whoa, he's spent, Like when
Speaker 1: when did you have Let's have a little bit of
Speaker 1: food or something to eat. Probably didn't talk to It's like,
Speaker 1: if you had a little bit of sugar or something
Speaker 1: to eat right now, if you have a little bit
Speaker 1: of sugar, want eating anything, but I'll go see if
Speaker 1: we can fight a little bit of like pudding or
Speaker 1: some jellow or something to sugar free. And then he
Speaker 1: just walked out. It was like, what just happened.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that was funny. I couldn't keep track. I
Speaker 2: was like, I'm glad he's gone, but it.
Speaker 1: Was he was nice and he got you out of
Speaker 1: there quick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they all did. They were all great. You know,
Speaker 2: I'm really impressed with the medical system. Although you know,
Speaker 2: I felt kind of weird because they put in that
Speaker 2: little teeny room in the back, and so rather than
Speaker 2: me getting to hang out with my grandkids and everybody
Speaker 2: which came to see me, and they couldn't come.
Speaker 1: In there's only two adults at a time.
Speaker 2: They basically stuck me in the recovery room closet for
Speaker 2: a little while.
Speaker 1: So during that time, yeah. I was in the lobby
Speaker 1: with all the grand grandkids. Yeah, I'm just sitting there
Speaker 1: and my niece was upset because she couldn't go back there.
Speaker 1: She was crying. So so I opened snapchat on my
Speaker 1: phone and just went through all the filters and they
Speaker 1: had fun with him, like five minutes.
Speaker 2: You can't laugh that loud.
Speaker 1: There's other people here and the day and they're just
Speaker 1: I look like a time of aura.
Speaker 2: He calmed down.
Speaker 1: So the lady comes back there and I'm like, were
Speaker 1: being too loud. She's gonna tell us to be quiet,
Speaker 1: and she just kind of stares at us, like shut up. No,
Speaker 1: Well she stared at us for a second.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, people are going through different kinds of surgery.
Speaker 2: Some of them are like an appendix, which is you know,
Speaker 2: not a big deal. Well, and some of them we're
Speaker 2: getting like you know, cancer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, life saving stuff, and then there's you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, wounds. I kept thinking, you know, it figures
Speaker 2: because we were going to go out in the side
Speaker 2: by side, We're going to go out in the desert,
Speaker 2: bounce around, exploitage jumps, yeah his sick jumps. But instead
Speaker 2: here I am laying in here eating sugar free jello. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you ate it fast though. It was good. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: remember it was. It was good.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you were hungry.
Speaker 2: I was hungry and uh and then I went home
Speaker 2: and then I'm fine, you know, I'm recovering great.
Speaker 1: So instead of going splunking, we went to the hospital
Speaker 1: well yeah, which is probably a lot of nefarious stuff
Speaker 1: on there, but similarities to Instead of doing that for
Speaker 1: our adventure this weekend, we went and just sat in
Speaker 1: a field.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we did. We went out and you know, because
Speaker 2: I didn't feel horrible, and we got the old truck
Speaker 2: out and we put the launchairs in the back and
Speaker 2: a propane fire ring.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And when I pulled and sat out there and looked
Speaker 2: for UFOs and cattle abduction.
Speaker 1: Dad shot the chaos twelve. I did take shot shot.
Speaker 2: Those shot shot the shot. I shot the shotgun.
Speaker 1: It was just not dark. It's not sunset, yeah set, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was sunset. You know what's messing up about dusk?
Speaker 1: The the song by Prince du You know that song. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it messes me up because he says dusk till dawn.
Speaker 1: So in my brain I'm like, dusk must be morning
Speaker 1: and dawn must be night.
Speaker 2: No, because he lived at night, so he would go.
Speaker 1: Exactly, but that it messes me up, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So it was kind of getting because there's these mountains
Speaker 1: next to us, so we had some good shadow. So
Speaker 1: Dad shot it was a big fireball comes out the
Speaker 1: end of the cool but I put it in slow
Speaker 1: motion and he goes got a little kicking. It's got
Speaker 1: a little kick on her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what didn't know what to expect first time I
Speaker 2: shot it. It was fun. I had a good time.
Speaker 2: That was fun. We went out there.
Speaker 1: One times sitting in the truck, sitting in the truck.
Speaker 2: And there were cows mooning all around us. So we thought,
Speaker 2: maybe we'll get lucky, not only watch, but we'll run
Speaker 2: into cattle mulation in the act. Didn't happen. No, the
Speaker 2: most exciting thing was a side by side riding by
Speaker 2: and you flashed him, flashed him. I lifted up my
Speaker 2: shirt my boobies and they both went, yeah, like scary
Speaker 2: is that it? Dude?
Speaker 1: He does have boobies and he does. It was pretty funny.
Speaker 2: What a lot of rabbits we were on. Literally, there
Speaker 2: were a lot of rabbits out there.
Speaker 1: It's like two or three got a few bunnies, yeah.
Speaker 2: But no UFOs and we stayed what we We got
Speaker 2: out there about nine, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Just started getting dark. We got there at perfect time
Speaker 1: because we had a minute. We shot the shaka. I
Speaker 1: think we both just put one shell through it. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it was kind of fun. You hadn't shot it before
Speaker 1: and it's kind of a weird gun. And then the
Speaker 1: cows all heard it up. That was kind of cool
Speaker 1: because they were just there's that one that was like
Speaker 1: but I think it that was I think it lost
Speaker 1: a calf or something because it was stressed out. It
Speaker 1: was like pacing around and like running back and forth.
Speaker 1: But then they all went into that big huddle and
Speaker 1: just kind of went it like as soon as it
Speaker 1: went dark, they were quiet. Its weirds not you hear, Like.
Speaker 2: You know what I thought about that. That's kind of weird,
Speaker 2: you know how like you wake up right as the
Speaker 2: sun is rising, even a little before the bird start
Speaker 2: going crazy.
Speaker 1: Oh have you ever been duck hunting? So when you
Speaker 1: got duck hunting, I think they call it a magic hour.
Speaker 1: You put out your decoys, this's pitch black, you got
Speaker 1: your head lamps on. It's colder and dirt, but then
Speaker 1: everything turns like kind of gray because the sun's coming up,
Speaker 1: and then you hear like the pintails like yeah, like
Speaker 1: flying around, and then as soon as the sun comes up,
Speaker 1: it's just like a war zone like from the Pearl
Speaker 1: Harbor movies where there's those dogfights.
Speaker 2: Arething that's going in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the ducks are just going like all over your
Speaker 1: head and then like twenty minutes later over dead quiet,
Speaker 1: no duck's allowed. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: Well, all I notice is I lay in bed in
Speaker 2: the morning and it's not light yet and I don't
Speaker 2: have to get up yet, but the birds are like squawking.
Speaker 2: You hear the robins and the sparrows, and they're all
Speaker 2: just kind of going crazy, and it's like, whoh, this
Speaker 2: is kind of cool. It's like it's like they're singing
Speaker 2: in the morning, singing in the sun rising. Maybe the
Speaker 2: cows are the ops, maybe they move out the sun
Speaker 2: setting go down.
Speaker 1: I think I think it's a lot like Elk or
Speaker 1: a lot of animals where it's just kind of like
Speaker 1: a like wolves, even where it's like a rally cry.
Speaker 1: It's like come on back, we're gonna all get together.
Speaker 1: Because the pack animals herd animals. Let's get together all
Speaker 1: shut up at the same time, so the animals don't
Speaker 1: other animals, predators don't know where we are, right and
Speaker 1: we'll just be quiet away.
Speaker 2: Those nighttime nocturnal predators.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think they kind of do like a
Speaker 1: like a like elk. There's be like a herd bowl
Speaker 1: and he'll do all these like yeah, you know, like
Speaker 1: he'll call in his herd and then they're all like
Speaker 1: going around all the all the cows are like and
Speaker 1: then he's like, shut up, go to bed, don't bother
Speaker 1: me till the morning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then we'll get busy.
Speaker 1: That's why every night you can hare them. Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 2: You know, it is weird. You know, at night predators
Speaker 2: do come out. There are a lot of nocturnal predators,
Speaker 2: and not just in the animal kingdom, but look in
Speaker 2: the in.
Speaker 1: The world like New York City, Yeah, the human kingdom.
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's go a little strange here for a minute,
Speaker 2: because I don't know, have you noticed all the bad, crappy,
Speaker 2: ugly crap that's been going on at night in different places,
Speaker 2: like the people getting roofed and raped or taken out
Speaker 2: and chopped up they've got the serial killer that he
Speaker 2: might be the smiley faced killer down in Texas that's
Speaker 2: doing awful things.
Speaker 1: I mean there's like there's a lot of bad people
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nocturnal predators.
Speaker 1: Well it's like that Johnny cash Long that go tell
Speaker 1: that long tongue liar that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's done in the dark? Will you can run?
Speaker 2: So what is it about the darkness?
Speaker 1: It's easy to hide?
Speaker 2: Is is that what it is? Or is it is
Speaker 2: there something more spiritual and deeper there? The unseen realm
Speaker 2: forces can come out and causey can.
Speaker 1: Make that comparison. I don't think it's necessarily that way.
Speaker 1: I mean, like tactically, like what we did in like
Speaker 1: Iraq probably not a great comparison, but we had really
Speaker 1: good technology compared to a civilization that didn't. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: we had envg's, We had all these cool stuff thermal
Speaker 1: imaging and stuff. So we can go out at nighttime
Speaker 1: and not have to deal with the heat, not have
Speaker 1: to deal with all of the the stuff we don't
Speaker 1: know about, and we can rely on our technology. So
Speaker 1: that's what like all the nocturnal animals do, like like cats,
Speaker 1: like a puma. Puma's hunt at night because cats have
Speaker 1: notoriously good nighttime. Yes, yeah, and that's just an easier
Speaker 1: way for a predator to get around and not be
Speaker 1: seen by animals like a like a prong horn where
Speaker 1: they have almost like three hundred and sixty degree vision.
Speaker 1: But if you cut that into a little ball of
Speaker 1: either sleep or just pure darkness, because if you're taking
Speaker 1: in light at three hundred and sixty degrees, you might
Speaker 1: not be able to focus on one dark area targeted.
Speaker 1: So then this animal comes in sneakily.
Speaker 2: You know, there's some weird parallels there, some metaphors I think,
Speaker 2: you know, talking about spiritual realm, and you know, what
Speaker 2: is seen, what people are aware of. When it's dark,
Speaker 2: people are going to sleep or they're they're shutting down
Speaker 2: their awareness in different levels, and that makes them more
Speaker 2: vulnerable to whatever predatory kind of thing is after them.
Speaker 2: So you know, if you want to talk about spiritual stuff,
Speaker 2: maybe it's the same thing and throw into that. So
Speaker 2: I'm saying, I'm I'm going to go out and party
Speaker 2: with my friends. Not only am I kind of tired
Speaker 2: because it's like late, ye you, but I'm also gonna
Speaker 2: like pump myself full of alcohol. Or maybe some cocaine
Speaker 2: or something so that I'm more susceptible towards dark, sinister things.
Speaker 1: Maybe when we lived in Twin Falls, I was playing football.
Speaker 1: It was probably like two in the morning. We were
Speaker 1: in our front yard and I wasn't really like a
Speaker 1: kid that got into mischief, but we played football late
Speaker 1: at night, I mean junior high or whatever. We had
Speaker 1: some girls from like a block away come over. We're
Speaker 1: all throwing the football in the front yard, like the
Speaker 1: most innocent thing you could do. I went to a
Speaker 1: private Christian school, you know. But a cop you probably
Speaker 1: might know which one I'm talking about, pulled up and
Speaker 1: he flickered his lights in our front yard just and
Speaker 1: I knew who he was. I'll call him Kevin, Like
Speaker 1: hey Kevin, and he's like, man, just go inside. Nothing
Speaker 1: good happens at night. You don't need to be out here.
Speaker 2: And they're the ones that know, yep.
Speaker 1: And I was like, what about on Christmas? He's like,
Speaker 1: especially on Christmas. I probably made it mad when I
Speaker 1: said that we didn't go inside, but yeah, it just
Speaker 1: it's from a cop. Nothing good happens at night, It's true.
Speaker 2: I mean, well, I mean my weenie cop experience. Well
Speaker 2: that's what you called it.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I came as basically a child of the light. You know,
Speaker 2: my world was daylight. I mean i'd drive at night
Speaker 2: or whatever. But and I maybe you stay up late
Speaker 2: and watch TV, But as far as me being out,
Speaker 2: I wasn't. That was not where I dwelt.
Speaker 1: Did any of the cops ever tell you you really
Speaker 1: adopted the doc, was born in it.
Speaker 4: No, you think doc loses your ally. You merely adopted
Speaker 4: the doc.
Speaker 2: I was born in it, molded by it. No, they
Speaker 2: never said that. But it was weird when I started
Speaker 2: doing this nighttime. So basically I was on a reserve officer,
Speaker 2: and you know, we would go out and ride around
Speaker 2: with the real cops, and we would carry guns, and
Speaker 2: you know, we could drive a car if we had to,
Speaker 2: a patrol car if we had to, we could like
Speaker 2: you know, move to parade or whatever.
Speaker 1: Hey, we need cup move that out of the rule.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we weren't the real deal, you know, we hadn't
Speaker 2: gone through posts and all that. But it was more
Speaker 2: responsibility than I actually wanted at the time. But so
Speaker 2: you'd go out and then my world was kind of
Speaker 2: flipped upside down because I never saw the kind of
Speaker 2: darkness that they're exposed to. Every single day, they deal
Speaker 2: with the worst of the worst, and then at night
Speaker 2: it was it was worse. I mean, that's when people
Speaker 2: are so drugged out of their mind. They're getting something.
Speaker 2: So that's where people are getting stabbed or shot.
Speaker 1: And you know, people are tired at the end of
Speaker 1: the day. They you know, want to relax or whatever,
Speaker 1: so they start drinking or doing drugs, and then something
Speaker 1: happens because other people are tired and doing the exact
Speaker 1: same thing, and it escalates. Their nerves are just thin
Speaker 1: at night. Yeah, and that's I think what happens with
Speaker 1: like a full moon, because you're circadian rhythm. Oh what
Speaker 1: am I talking about? Your circadian rhythm starts to kind
Speaker 1: of like get messed up because you're used to this
Speaker 1: dark light, dark light, and it kind of is like
Speaker 1: a long fade into darkness. It sounds like a metal no, you.
Speaker 2: Know that makes sense. So people are like their body's
Speaker 2: staying weight. It's light, so I need to be out
Speaker 2: and about and so but your body is saying no,
Speaker 2: you need to be asleep.
Speaker 1: And there was never that hard cutoff, which you can
Speaker 1: say is why people are more stressed down now too,
Speaker 1: because we're looking at our phones and we've got fluorescent
Speaker 1: lights everywhere, artificial light. So yeah, weird.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're discovering or I'm just regurgitating.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're not discovering or solving anything, but obviously there
Speaker 2: are weird things that happen at night and around the
Speaker 2: full moon. I mean statistically they say, eh, it's not
Speaker 2: statistically much different, but I think maybe people are more
Speaker 2: aware of it. Maybe they're more alert because they are
Speaker 2: on that Hey am I awake or a sleep kind
Speaker 2: of would you cut? What kind of cycle?
Speaker 1: Circadian?
Speaker 2: Circadian?
Speaker 1: I like that circadian cycle, circadian rhythm.
Speaker 2: It sounds like an alien type Circadians.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the planet Circadia twenty one, twenty seven.
Speaker 2: Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 1: Circadian rhythms, like your body's natural adaptation to like night
Speaker 1: and day, hot and cold.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Like my cousin and I have been on this kick
Speaker 1: shout out.
Speaker 2: To reggae reggae.
Speaker 1: One of my social boys. We've been on this kick
Speaker 1: about like a just feeling better because he's got young
Speaker 1: kids and I got young kids. And maybe it's different
Speaker 1: or maybe it's the same, but we feel crappy all
Speaker 1: the time, like, you know, just worn out and tired
Speaker 1: and miserable and short tempered. Yeah, diets probably. We talk
Speaker 1: about diet a lot, but we talk about you know,
Speaker 1: like a big thing now everybody's posting it on social media,
Speaker 1: like ice baths.
Speaker 2: Yes, so we've been looking.
Speaker 1: At that and we're like, okay, that's cool. And then
Speaker 1: we've been talking about good sleep habits, having a regular
Speaker 1: circadian rhythm or like going to bed at the same time,
Speaker 1: waking up at the same time every day they're a
Speaker 1: majority of days, and how to trick your body into
Speaker 1: sleeping well by like taking a really hot shower and
Speaker 1: then going to bed, like right before bed, getting really hot,
Speaker 1: and then when your body starts cooling off, it makes melatonin,
Speaker 1: which I think melatonin is actually like a hormone. It's
Speaker 1: not like something you get from plants as much as
Speaker 1: it's like a hormone that your boy, your body produces, Yes,
Speaker 1: And so people take it to go to sleep, but
Speaker 1: then they're just kind of messing with their circadian rhythm
Speaker 1: and it's making it worse.
Speaker 2: It's like your body doesn't have to produce melotone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So if you just get hot and then cool off,
Speaker 1: which is a good feeling, you might sleep better.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: My cousin and I had been into that. So I
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm saying about.
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, we're just talking about a
Speaker 2: strange thing, right, I mean, that's.
Speaker 1: The name of our posts, open chatwards chit chat.
Speaker 2: And you know, I am trying to I'm gonna try
Speaker 2: to force this into a certain direction.
Speaker 1: He's got a narrative.
Speaker 2: It's well, it's narrative.
Speaker 1: It's in squared. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: But anyway, And I gotta you know, I want to
Speaker 2: edit myself and not say but anyway so much because
Speaker 2: I say but anyway, I just gotta quit saying that
Speaker 2: so much. It's it's it's like my go to word
Speaker 2: when I get a little stymied, you know, in my
Speaker 2: brain pain.
Speaker 1: It's like pain.
Speaker 2: What I'm gonna say next, Oh, I'll say but anyway.
Speaker 1: Dad has like the Cypress hill stymied in the brain. Pain,
Speaker 1: But in the brain anyway.
Speaker 2: Anyway, you know, I wondered, Okay, I shouldn't say this,
Speaker 2: but I'm gunning because I'm postoperative and and I'm actually
Speaker 2: I'm off all my pain meds. They gave me some
Speaker 2: good pain meds, especially there. I don't even I think
Speaker 2: it was. And that stuff was great because I was
Speaker 2: hurting pretty bad and then they gave to me and
Speaker 2: it's like, oh yeah, I felt like I weighed a
Speaker 2: thousand pounds. I couldn't move.
Speaker 1: You can see it in people's faces, like when when
Speaker 1: Shelby was having the Bennett and they did the.
Speaker 2: The spinal tap, the epidural epidural final path, and she could.
Speaker 1: Hit the buttons every once in a while, but the
Speaker 1: first time when she was like really stressed out and
Speaker 1: really upset, it was like her face just it was like, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: like when Gandolf yells at Bilbo Baggins, it's just.
Speaker 2: Some under yeah, an he melts and he's like, I'm
Speaker 2: not trying to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, trying to help you, and his face kind of melts.
Speaker 1: That's what Shelby looked like, because her face was all
Speaker 1: scrunched up and it was just like, hmm, she's possessed.
Speaker 1: Her body made that noise when Obi Wan turns off
Speaker 1: those shields or whatever. It's like, yeah, that's what her
Speaker 1: body did.
Speaker 2: Well, what I was going towards. Sorry, no, no, That's
Speaker 2: all good? Is that? What were we talking about before that?
Speaker 1: Meds?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Meds. One thing nice about being, you know,
Speaker 2: post operative is you kind of have to relax. You
Speaker 2: can't do much. You can't lift things, can't shower, you
Speaker 2: can't get in the hot tub. You're just kind of
Speaker 2: like floating. So I've been listening to a lot of podcasts,
Speaker 2: and I've been reading some books and some of the
Speaker 2: stuff that I've been kind of just coincidentally like stumbling into,
Speaker 2: or things like episodes about like d MT and what's
Speaker 2: the name of the actual plant that people use? I
Speaker 2: asked you the other night.
Speaker 1: It's like hyahuasca, hiauasca.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then I know Joe Rogan, he talks about
Speaker 2: you know that, and and a lot of people use
Speaker 2: that in a way to like get in touch with,
Speaker 2: you know, the spiritual realm where they come in contact
Speaker 2: with entities that that help them or guide them, or
Speaker 2: sometimes they're nefarious that's another drinking word. But you know,
Speaker 2: I was thinking about that people in the evening at night,
Speaker 2: that probably their body not in tune to be night
Speaker 2: dwelling creatures. I mean, because naturally we're not that we're
Speaker 2: not nocturnatifically.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then and so they augment that with drugs like
Speaker 2: at clubs or whether it's alcohol or whatever. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: then you throw on other things on top of it,
Speaker 2: like a d MT, you know, if you want to.
Speaker 1: Get more spiritual New Age, six hundred milligrams of ivy.
Speaker 2: Broken, Yeah, whatever it is. And it's like a lot
Speaker 2: of the podcasts I were listening to, we're talking about
Speaker 2: these guys on trips and and you know, how they
Speaker 2: get in touch with spirit guides and the messages that
Speaker 2: the spirit guides give them, you know, and I was saying, wow,
Speaker 2: that's kind of interesting. And then the descriptions of some
Speaker 2: of the spirit guides are kind of the same as
Speaker 2: some of the neopagan or pagan or you know, ancient gods.
Speaker 2: You know, we went through those pantheons just for I
Speaker 2: don't even know why. We did Strange Gods, a series
Speaker 2: on Strange Gods on our podcast. You can go back
Speaker 2: and listen to them. I think we had what five episodes.
Speaker 1: We did a lot, and.
Speaker 2: We went through a lot of pantheons, and you know,
Speaker 2: we're just talking not for any agenda other than it's like,
Speaker 2: this is interesting. Stuff.
Speaker 1: This is really all sounds the same.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what we ended up thinkings, like wait this,
Speaker 2: you know this this goddess is the same as Ishtar.
Speaker 2: It was the same as you know, on and on
Speaker 2: and on it goes. And but what's weird is these
Speaker 2: entities that they were coming in contact with on their
Speaker 2: d MT trips were like.
Speaker 1: The same things, yeah, some of them.
Speaker 2: And so my mind's like making connections here, like this
Speaker 2: is really strange. And I've alluded to many times, you know,
Speaker 2: in our podcast, it's like, you know, this is like
Speaker 2: all this stuff is connected. And I know that's kind
Speaker 2: of cliche, but it is weird how connected it really is.
Speaker 2: Like we started our podcast asked on cattle mutilations because
Speaker 2: it was a weird thing I experienced as a kid,
Speaker 2: not personally being mutilated, but cattle mutilations were a thing
Speaker 2: that were happening in the seventies when I was a kid,
Speaker 2: and I remembered it and like, that was a strange thing.
Speaker 2: Let's start there.
Speaker 1: In those episodes, we found Bigfoot, Bigfoot aliens, and the
Speaker 1: UFOs aliens. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean they can kind of go different because
Speaker 2: you can have a what do they call it now,
Speaker 2: it's not a UAP I did.
Speaker 1: I did aerial Phenomenona.
Speaker 2: We started making these weird connections, not because we were
Speaker 2: trying to right. And then we went into the pantheons,
Speaker 2: and then we did the paranormal bit, and there were
Speaker 2: like all these weird connections there. We were talking about
Speaker 2: these like transdimensional kind of weirdness with entities that would
Speaker 2: be shown, whether they were demonic or hat man or whatever.
Speaker 2: And then we started doing Bigfoot and like Bigfoot almost
Speaker 2: seems to be in a lot of encounter, like he's transdimensional.
Speaker 1: Transdimensional like the Happy And then we.
Speaker 2: Did the gods, you know, the strange pantheons, just because
Speaker 2: I thought it was weird that, you know, the pantans
Speaker 2: are weird. I mean, God said weird.
Speaker 1: And you did the thing about the horse that you
Speaker 1: had sex with Zeuser who's yeah, and then slight near
Speaker 1: his and then you know, one thing leads to another
Speaker 1: next thing. You know, Loki's pregnant with a horse's baby. Loki,
Speaker 1: Loki's pregnant, Loki Thor's brother, yeah, or like step brother
Speaker 1: is pregnant with a male horse's baby.
Speaker 2: And he's a male in the pretending to be a
Speaker 2: female horse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Thor throws a baby shower for Loki
Speaker 1: and they find out it's a boy. It's a boy horse,
Speaker 1: an eight legged boy named Slight near near the eight
Speaker 1: legged boy horse, and then Loki gives it to Odin
Speaker 1: as a gift.
Speaker 2: Oh my godness.
Speaker 1: It was ridiculous, but I mean it was.
Speaker 2: It was interesting and it's strange. So we talked about it,
Speaker 2: and then like we started seeing all these weird connections
Speaker 2: between all these different pantheons and what was weird about that.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was a long time ago we did it,
Speaker 2: but my mind thinks about, Okay, it's weird. We're talking
Speaker 2: about the Egyptians over here, but meanwhile, over in the America's.
Speaker 1: The Mayans are building building pyramids. They're building pyramid sacrificing kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, god, and they're lined to the same stars. And
Speaker 2: one over there's a dragon, you know that's got dragons
Speaker 2: all over or whatever. His name is done here, same thing.
Speaker 1: I've heard this on Separated.
Speaker 2: They share the same origin. They have to.
Speaker 1: I heard something on Joe Rogan that I thought was cool.
Speaker 2: So there's this guy Forrest Gump.
Speaker 1: Mine's Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest kun. I think
Speaker 1: it does start with the G. Crap Forrest Forest G.
Speaker 2: We'll say Forest G, We'll look.
Speaker 1: At Forest buddy. He's like he's on like a Discovery
Speaker 1: Channel show where he like hunts down supposedly extinct animals
Speaker 1: like the yellow canean is when he found But he
Speaker 1: brought up something that was funny because he talked about
Speaker 1: how a lot of cultures have these flying serpent like lore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're They're everywhere.
Speaker 1: So he was talking about how the reason birds can
Speaker 1: flies because they have really light feathers and they have
Speaker 1: hollow bones. But serpents, notoriously are kind of a heavier,
Speaker 1: like they don't have hollow bones, and they have thick,
Speaker 1: heavy scales on them, so their bones would be less dense,
Speaker 1: which would make it so that they don't fossilize. And
Speaker 1: that's why we've never found the fossilized dragon is because
Speaker 1: all their bones are hollow. I thought that was kind
Speaker 1: of interesting. He didn't really subscribe to that belief. Forest
Speaker 1: Galante Galante, Yeah, that was his name, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Forest Gallante. I googled him while you were talking.
Speaker 1: He's a cool guy. I love listening to his podcast.
Speaker 1: He's for all kinds of weird animals, Like the Tasmanian
Speaker 1: tiger was a thing, a real thing. Have you ever
Speaker 1: seen that?
Speaker 2: Well, I've seen like pictures of it from like a
Speaker 2: zoo that had one that.
Speaker 1: The something instinct. Yeah, yeah, they think they're extinct. He
Speaker 1: was trying to find and then I'm just regurgitating another
Speaker 1: podcast episode, but whatever. And then he was talking about
Speaker 1: how they're gonna like clone wooly mammos and put them
Speaker 1: in some park reserve in like Siberian tundra and like
Speaker 1: clone these wooly mamos and see what their impact is
Speaker 1: on the geography and the climate. And I'm like, this
Speaker 1: is my favorite thing ever.
Speaker 2: That would be where it's like Jurassic Park exactly.
Speaker 1: That's my favorite books and movie series of all time.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, so we've diverted a little bit. I wander.
Speaker 1: Forrest goal Forest. Yeah.
Speaker 2: In the picture here and he's holding it. What's that
Speaker 2: a pangolin.
Speaker 1: Penglin, which as loos as a pokemon.
Speaker 2: What's weird about it is I've seen videos of these
Speaker 2: things like shredding into a wall.
Speaker 1: They look like dragons, you do they're scaling?
Speaker 2: I mean, they look like serpents.
Speaker 1: They're straight up pokemons. They are crazy creatures.
Speaker 2: But anyway, okay, let's go back. Oh said again, have
Speaker 2: a drink. Getting back to what I was kind of
Speaker 2: like moving towards. All of these things are connected. And
Speaker 2: I know that's cliche. You even said it when you
Speaker 2: hate hearing that in podcasts. Yeah, everybody's saying that that's
Speaker 2: the thing, but it's true, and they're connected in ways
Speaker 2: you didn't think and like for us as a strange
Speaker 2: thing people. When we started this, we did this for fun,
Speaker 2: right right. We weren't trying to make any connections. We
Speaker 2: weren't trying to make any theological ideas. We had no agenda, yeah,
Speaker 2: for any kind of connection.
Speaker 1: Like we said at the beginning, our whole goal was
Speaker 1: just to drive around in this Folkswagen thing, have adventures
Speaker 1: which we've sent, sold and traded for a what is
Speaker 1: that an astro or an express box van?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, a box van. Well, you know, you think
Speaker 2: we have a lot of little giddy gadgets. We have motorcycles,
Speaker 2: we have a side by side and and we have
Speaker 2: the but our goal is to just.
Speaker 1: Use our fun little toys we got and drive around
Speaker 1: in mostly the specific Northwest and just look at stuff.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of weird things around. Yeah, and they
Speaker 2: had a strange we had a Volkswagen thing without oh
Speaker 2: a strange thing.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. It'd be fun. And then now we're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is kind of creepy. How everything's like connected.
Speaker 2: And it keeps getting more. So I've been listening to
Speaker 2: different podcasts you have to listen to, you know, some
Speaker 2: that have like a theological edge, like or not even theological,
Speaker 2: but maybe a Christian overview, like Ory Creatures. Shout out
Speaker 2: to them. I enjoy them more and more and more.
Speaker 2: But what we found out is there's this tangential kind
Speaker 2: of relationship with what we're discovering on accident, not looking
Speaker 2: for any kind of connections, just to have fun and
Speaker 2: to hang out together and have adventures and these podcasts
Speaker 2: and the stuff that they're talking about, and what we're
Speaker 2: realizing is this stuff is much more connected than we thought.
Speaker 2: And because of that, I hate to use the word
Speaker 2: real because it's supernatural. A lot of this stuff is supernatural.
Speaker 2: You quantify it as supernatural because it's like an unseen realm.
Speaker 2: It's it's transdimensional. But if you've listened to any news
Speaker 2: media recently, you have seen and heard an uptick in
Speaker 2: types of topics that we talk about in a strange thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we see a lot more UFO stuff especially, and
Speaker 1: more cattle mutilations. Yeah, they've been coming up a lot.
Speaker 1: We get sent that a lot, and that might be
Speaker 1: our own doing because we talked about it.
Speaker 2: Well. No, like Fox News last week was the down
Speaker 2: in Texas. There were six mutilated down there. Their tongues
Speaker 2: were removed and they had surgical precision and all that
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. But and then you tie in all
Speaker 2: this other stuff, hybrid breeding programs, and then you hear
Speaker 2: a lot of things, especially now because paganism is a
Speaker 2: lot more popular now, you know, in the waning of
Speaker 2: Judeo Christian mind.
Speaker 1: Second time you said, oh, you said waxing earlier.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, this is waning waning. Waxing.
Speaker 1: You're a waner.
Speaker 2: I'm not a well at least I'm not a waxer.
Speaker 2: Swimmers do that. But anyway, releasing friction, you don't get it.
Speaker 1: I get it. I just you're not gonna even not
Speaker 1: humoring you giving me a.
Speaker 2: Laugh on that. There are different belief systems that are
Speaker 2: more prevalent now that have godlike entities or spirit guides,
Speaker 2: and the use of things like pharmaceuticals or drugs or
Speaker 2: psychedelics or whatever to engage and encounter and and talk
Speaker 2: to or have these things guide you is on the increase.
Speaker 1: It's that thing everybody talks about. I'm not religious, I'm
Speaker 1: just very spiritual.
Speaker 2: Very spiritual.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's very popular. And whether you're not, you say
Speaker 1: you're you're religious, whether it's veganism you're into, or feminism
Speaker 1: or BLM or or even atheism, atheism or religious, you're
Speaker 1: kind of subscribing yourself to a small group of people
Speaker 1: that believe the same thing as you, which is what
Speaker 1: kind of ends up being a religious religion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, I don't want to go into
Speaker 2: whether right or wrong or whatever which is true or false.
Speaker 2: But it's a different perspective than what I had when
Speaker 2: I was younger. And I've been around a little while,
Speaker 2: not a long time yet, but the stuff that we
Speaker 2: would not even begin to think about are now the
Speaker 2: mainstream things. And I think about, Okay, what causes that? Why?
Speaker 2: What is that? And I think a lot of it
Speaker 2: is our ability to communicate and to like over the internet,
Speaker 2: these amounts of information good or bad. That's available to
Speaker 2: us is like it's astounding. You can't even comprehend it.
Speaker 2: The whole world is at our fingertips, and people that
Speaker 2: you don't even speak the same language with now you
Speaker 2: can communicate perfectly.
Speaker 1: I have an app because I work with some European
Speaker 1: Ukrainian people at my work and some of the stuff,
Speaker 1: if I can't relay something directly to them, I can find,
Speaker 1: you know, like the instruction manual, and I can pull
Speaker 1: up an app on my phone through Google and it
Speaker 1: will in real time translates through the camera. So they're
Speaker 1: looking at the pamphlet through the camera and seeing it
Speaker 1: in their language. It's amazing.
Speaker 2: It is totally me. What's the name of that.
Speaker 1: It's just Google Translator, I think, because.
Speaker 2: There's Google Translates, and then there's like another one called Babbelfish,
Speaker 2: and Babbel.
Speaker 1: Is probably not a good one to use.
Speaker 2: Well, it's really interesting because you know, you've heard of babel, right,
Speaker 2: and I've heard of babel because of our Judeo Christian background.
Speaker 1: They should have called it a little bit. If you
Speaker 1: play that backwards, I think it'll say babbel. But they
Speaker 1: should do it backwards because it's kind of like reassembling
Speaker 1: languages to.
Speaker 2: All me well, and for those that don't know that background,
Speaker 2: it's in the Bible. It's in Genesis. You can look
Speaker 2: it up.
Speaker 1: You just like Trump, It's in the Bible.
Speaker 4: It's in Genesis. You can look it up. He had
Speaker 4: all of his best people on it. They were gonna
Speaker 4: build a new Trump Tower.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was gonna be huge.
Speaker 4: It was gonna be the biggest tower. But Joe Biden
Speaker 4: came in and confused, everybody confused. He walked over and
Speaker 4: he said.
Speaker 1: You can some of America and one was.
Speaker 2: Anyway, yeah, it's good. Basically, the biblical narrative is that
Speaker 2: man was told to go, you know, reproduce and multiply
Speaker 2: and subdue the earth, basically take care of it, treat
Speaker 2: it good, these stewards. But instead they decided, no, we're
Speaker 2: gonna get together and we're gonna band together, and we're
Speaker 2: gonna build this giant tower instead of going into all
Speaker 2: the world Mecca. And they all spoke the same language,
Speaker 2: so it was very easy for them to communicate and
Speaker 2: pass knowledge around. And some of the knowledge, I mean
Speaker 2: this is bringing in the watchers, was forbidden knowledge and
Speaker 2: things that they shouldn't do that, like sorcery or pharmachia
Speaker 2: or drugs anyway, that's a whole say, we got a
Speaker 2: whole bunch of stuff we could talk about there, but
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ignore that. So what they did is they
Speaker 2: decided to build this tower, and they were doing it. Man,
Speaker 2: They're building this big, huge zigarot tower thing and to
Speaker 2: their own you know ends, and God says, Nope, ain't
Speaker 2: gonna do this, and he confuses their language, and so
Speaker 2: he scatters them by confusing the language. That's the biblical narrative.
Speaker 2: That's the story. So what we're doing now with the
Speaker 2: Internet is we've rebuilt bab We now can all communicate
Speaker 2: and say and do the same language. And what happens
Speaker 2: when you have that you can have good stuff, the
Speaker 2: sharing of really great ideas, and you could have really bad, dark,
Speaker 2: sinister stuff. Sky Skyne, which is another thing you know
Speaker 2: about genetic manipulation and cyborgs and AI.
Speaker 1: And creepy transhumans. Seeing this, uh, the new AI stuff
Speaker 1: that's come out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is weird.
Speaker 1: It's pretty creepy.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: It's like and like the other day, So I have Snapchat,
Speaker 1: that's like the main way that my my little group
Speaker 1: of cousins and I communicate. We all have it and
Speaker 1: it's funny to say, ye little quick thing door keyef
Speaker 1: pictures and stuff. But now it pops up and it's like,
Speaker 1: I'm your AI chat. Yeah, I'm going to monitor what
Speaker 1: you say, and I'm gonna make you see things that
Speaker 1: you want to see, and I'm gonna filter things through
Speaker 1: a filter and make sure that you only get whatever
Speaker 1: you want.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yes, day back Satan, what kind of weird
Speaker 2: world is that the only thing you see and here
Speaker 2: is the things you want? I mean that's creepy and
Speaker 2: part of it's like appealing because like, oh cool, but
Speaker 2: all I want.
Speaker 1: Is what I want?
Speaker 2: What about an objective opinion? Yeah, you know, like okay,
Speaker 2: so since we're going here it's open mic. What about
Speaker 2: like our media, right, they don't give us what we want.
Speaker 1: They give us the only place to sit is on
Speaker 1: either end in the media, it seems like.
Speaker 2: And then and then what about like the algorithms that
Speaker 2: drive us to the content that we're looking for. So
Speaker 2: if you google something next thing, you know, you're slammed
Speaker 2: with all of.
Speaker 1: That stuff that is greedy and sometimes you don't even
Speaker 1: have to google it, Like You'll just be talking like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I've really been into really nice sprinklers from my front
Speaker 1: yard because there does not good water distribution. Then I'll
Speaker 1: go to Facebook and Pops, I was like, now it
Speaker 1: littles doom dang um dar damn. It's so weird and
Speaker 1: it's creepy.
Speaker 2: Just think about like people that are YouTubers. Now, I
Speaker 2: mean you can get black marks and taken off or
Speaker 2: saying the wrong thing, so's on Twitter. But what is Yeah,
Speaker 2: well even that I don't even know how great that is.
Speaker 2: But I think it's funny because basically I think Elon
Speaker 2: is just smacking everybody upside the head.
Speaker 1: But you see the I think I mentioned it to
Speaker 1: you the other day, where you like white it out the.
Speaker 2: Yeah on the building or the W side, said titter titter,
Speaker 2: and then they told him you had to fix it,
Speaker 2: so he painted the outline or something. I hadn't heard that.
Speaker 1: But that's whilarious, you know. But it's so weird.
Speaker 2: Because the stuff that you say, somebody has to decide
Speaker 2: whether that is acceptable or not. Yeah, and if you're
Speaker 2: politically correct and that's the guideline, then basically anybody who
Speaker 2: doesn't have that politically correct voice. If they say anything
Speaker 2: that's not along with the status quo, they're voted off
Speaker 2: the island.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like how we were talking about people
Speaker 1: use the word conspiracy theorist. Yeah, it's kind of like, no,
Speaker 1: you're un PC, or you're bad. You don't get an
Speaker 1: opinion because I've deemed you to not have an opinion.
Speaker 2: You're branded and you're basically nullified, or you're a crazy radicale.
Speaker 2: We could get a ding for saying this, but you
Speaker 2: can't say anything negative about COVID or the vaccines or
Speaker 2: about masks Shapirol. Maybe he gets away with it because
Speaker 2: he brings in bucks. I don't know, probably, but I mean,
Speaker 2: and it's crazy because I thought we were supposed to
Speaker 2: be able to have open, free dialogue. Might not agree
Speaker 2: with it, but that's okay. I don't mind if you
Speaker 2: don't agree with it.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like what you and I not argued about.
Speaker 2: Oh earlier you got here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Dad was talking about how it's not good
Speaker 1: to be bullies, and I kind of agreed. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, I think bullies are a necessity because
Speaker 1: you can change the way that fits into your definition
Speaker 1: of bully. I think, right, I think kids make fun
Speaker 1: of each other because when that kid wears his little
Speaker 1: brother's pants to school three times in a row and
Speaker 1: they're like, you look stupid in those stupid pants, he's
Speaker 1: going to quit wearing those stupid pants and he's going
Speaker 1: to start wearing clothes that are normal. And some people
Speaker 1: will be upset about that. But kids have a way
Speaker 1: of regulating themselves. They do through their lifetime to help
Speaker 1: them kind of grow in a society where they all
Speaker 1: kind of are a team.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's funny you say that, because that
Speaker 2: kind of makes that light bulb go off of ding
Speaker 2: ding ding in my head, which is kind of what
Speaker 2: we were just talking about. Somebody is controlling what is
Speaker 2: right and wrong, what is that is acceptable and what's not.
Speaker 2: If you say anything that is not acceptable, then you're
Speaker 2: going to be voted off the island. You're gonna get bullied, right,
Speaker 2: So who controls the bully power, the bully pit bullpit?
Speaker 2: Who controls that? You know? And it's scary because I'm
Speaker 2: not even trying to find the answers right now. I mean,
Speaker 2: we're just we're just yeah, we're just talking. But we're
Speaker 2: throwing out stuff and this is all good fodder for
Speaker 2: a future show. You know, I've talked about the Grand
Speaker 2: Conspiracy over and over again. I believe there is a
Speaker 2: Grand conspiracy. The more I read about this stuff, the
Speaker 2: more I see the connect in this of the kind
Speaker 2: of stuff that we deal with, which we thought was
Speaker 2: going to be fun. All of a sudden, it's like,
Speaker 2: wait a minute, this is like all connected and it
Speaker 2: is a conspiracy. Yeah, who are the players in what
Speaker 2: that means and what to do with that? That's a
Speaker 2: you know, that's a whole different series of subjects. But
Speaker 2: there is a grand conspiracy, and I believe it's very spiritual. Now,
Speaker 2: spiritual people instantly can flash religious and I don't like
Speaker 2: that word religious because religious to me has that negative connotation,
Speaker 2: kind of like conspiracy theorist. And all that does is
Speaker 2: shut down the conversation, so you don't get any input,
Speaker 2: you don't get any dialogue.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the racist tag, you know, like
Speaker 1: a Karen in the parking lot, you're racist, you're sexist, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's just kind of like, well, now I can't
Speaker 1: argue because you're just gonna pull that card or.
Speaker 2: You're a hater or you know, whatever it is. And
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes that stuff is kind of justified maybe,
Speaker 2: but it is so overused now people use it as
Speaker 2: a weapon to shut down people so they can have voices.
Speaker 2: And then you get this i'm gonna say politically correct
Speaker 2: mob because it's a maybe not even the majority, but
Speaker 2: the loudest voice in the room.
Speaker 1: Squeaky gill gets the grease.
Speaker 2: Squeaky gill, what do you say about gills? Highline gills?
Speaker 1: Gills?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're fishkills. No, like squeaky.
Speaker 1: Wheel gets the grease.
Speaker 2: Yes. It's like almost like a snowball that keeps getting
Speaker 2: bigger and bigger. The center of it is very small,
Speaker 2: but people get afraid of this little snowball and as
Speaker 2: it builds and builds, then you're like, oh, you're really
Speaker 2: afraid of it. And it controls media, It controls narrative,
Speaker 2: It controls thoughts, I mean logical thoughts. Scientific thoughts can't
Speaker 2: even be addressed anymore or thought about logically, because as
Speaker 2: soon as you do, then well, no, you're a hater.
Speaker 2: And it's like, when in the world have we ever
Speaker 2: agreed on everything? And how often do we disagree? But
Speaker 2: we still get along and like each other. I mean,
Speaker 2: just look at your family. Do you agree with everything
Speaker 2: everybody does in your family? No? No, you still love them,
Speaker 2: you still talk to them, you still care about them,
Speaker 2: and still die for him. Maybe some people would. I'm
Speaker 2: just saying that we're way beyond that. We've gone to
Speaker 2: an extreme, and maybe the pendulum is going to swing back,
Speaker 2: but I'm afraid this is maybe goes towards the grand
Speaker 2: conspiracy is that it's not going to swing back, and
Speaker 2: then it's just gonna be basically a louder, meaner, stronger
Speaker 2: voice that takes advantage and punishes people that don't bow
Speaker 2: to their power and.
Speaker 1: Desires so mad Max. Yeah, any it picks your dystopian
Speaker 1: story storyline.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's basically that because people pretty much suck.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people do so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, left to our own we want our own things.
Speaker 2: And that's just the way it's been. Well, I don't
Speaker 2: know us man, I could just kind of keep blabbing,
Speaker 2: but we're about an hour in. We could probably wrap
Speaker 2: this baby up and then maybe next some hot dogs,
Speaker 2: go cook some hot dogs and some hamburgers. Yeah, all
Speaker 2: the family's coming over. It's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1: It's a nice day. Yeah, a little bit of wind. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's ninety degrees.
Speaker 2: What is it aside, it's gonna be eighty eight degrees today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so eighty eight with a little breeze is pretty
Speaker 1: much ideal.
Speaker 2: Well, especially last week it was snowing.
Speaker 1: Nice thing about a little bit of a breeze. It
Speaker 1: keeps the bugs.
Speaker 2: Away, keeps the bugs away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then the hot keeps you warm. And inversions
Speaker 1: this keeps you cool.
Speaker 2: Smoke away, Yeah, things just blowing up. Yeah, it's all
Speaker 2: good man, it's all good. Well, I don't know, should
Speaker 2: we just button this puppy up and let's do it.
Speaker 2: Go eat some boogers, some boogers. That sounds good to me.
Speaker 1: Who does all right? So I guess join us next
Speaker 1: time for some cold drinks, probably hopefully colder because it's
Speaker 1: cold outside it is hot. Yeah, and some strange conversations
Speaker 1: taters
