WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:06.519 And I just turned around and I call ass out 2 00:00:06.519 --> 00:00:09.359 of there. I was done. I wasn't dealing with them. 3 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:15.240 The hypocrisy of the cult is one of the things 4 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:22.000 that turned me away the quickest. When I turned my 5 00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.719 head lights on, it turned and looked at us. And 6 00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:27.640 one of the things I remember the most where the 7 00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:33.399 eyes were going red. I see an orb of light. 8 00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.560 It is just circling these steps like it is waiting 9 00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:43.960 for me. And he begins to tell them that he 10 00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.359 saw UFO. They're basically like, what are you talking about. 11 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.920 That's seven foot up on a tree, peeking around it, 12 00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.159 and that's where I saw the top of the muzzle 13 00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.359 nose and the eyes. As soon as I made eye 14 00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:06.760 contact with this thing, I don't like death. Welcome back 15 00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:09.719 to another Foiled Fridays. I'm your host, Brandon. If you're 16 00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.200 new around here and you're not familiar with a Foil 17 00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:16.200 Friday is This is not the typical Tenfoil Tales podcast episode. 18 00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:18.719 I will not be interviewing a guest. This is just 19 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.480 my solo episodes where I come on here and talk 20 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.640 about some of the things I'm thinking about. I kind 21 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.840 of go on through my brain and then I might 22 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:27.640 take a dive into some of the topics that I 23 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.799 don't usually get to discuss on Tenfoil Tells. I do 24 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.879 apologize for not having one last week. It was a 25 00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:37.799 very hectic and crazy week. There's a lot of family 26 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.200 things going on. I don't really want to dive into 27 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.480 any of that, but I do apologize. By the time 28 00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:47.120 I was able to get things situated, I just didn't 29 00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:48.680 have enough time to come out here and do that. 30 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:51.159 But I'm out here tonight trying to get this hammered 31 00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.159 out here on Thursday so I can release it here 32 00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:56.359 in less than two hours, So bear with me if 33 00:01:56.359 --> 00:02:01.359 it's not the most thorough Friday episode. The last weekend 34 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.439 for anyone that was around, I was at the Indiana 35 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:08.639 Bigfoot Conference. It's the second one that they've done. Had 36 00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.599 a great time. Saw some people that I met last year. 37 00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:13.800 They got to come back this year and speak with 38 00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.439 me again, so I was pretty cool. I got to 39 00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:20.639 hang out with the guys from Cryptied Creatures podcast. Always 40 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.599 a pleasure seeing those fellows. I do have a couple 41 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:27.080 more events coming up here soon. Next weekend I will 42 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.360 be down in Louisville for goat Man Festival, and then 43 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.919 the weekend of the seventeenth and eighteenth of October, I 44 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:37.759 will be down in Hopkinsville for the first ever Goblin Con. 45 00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.319 E anyone not familiar with the Kentucky Goblin story or 46 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.680 the Kelly Green Men. I do have an episode out 47 00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:47.759 there where I interviewed Geraldine, one of the surviving members 48 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:53.120 of the family from seventy years ago. Her father was 49 00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.560 involved with they shoot out with these little green creatures 50 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.439 that have been known to become the legend of the 51 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.879 Kentucky Goblins. So I'm definitely looking forward to that too. 52 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.159 And then obviously I've got Cryptid Con coming up in November. 53 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:13.080 So for anyone in the Kentucky or Southern Indiana areas 54 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:15.560 you want to come out and see me, those will 55 00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.439 be your opportunities. I also want to say thank you 56 00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.120 to everyone out there that listens to this, that listens 57 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.759 to the podcast. I normally do all the support, even 58 00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.879 all the negativity and the hate that I sometimes get. 59 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.280 I mean, obviously you're listening, I'm sorry if you don't 60 00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.120 like it. But at the end of the day, it's 61 00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.080 my podcast, so I'm gonna do what I do and 62 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.919 you'all can like it or dislike it. That's completely your choice. 63 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.479 But with all of that being said, we're going to 64 00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.280 dive into some of the things that I've been thinking 65 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:50.039 about lately that kind of irk me. I look around 66 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.879 online a lot, and I see so many things that 67 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.159 just make me shake my head just because of the 68 00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:02.240 sheer stupidity. And this goose kind of back to what 69 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:04.919 I said a couple episodes ago. So this is not 70 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.960 going to be like some political bullshit rant or anything 71 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.639 like that. I'm steering away from that aspect of it. 72 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.240 But I'm going to talk tonight about the communities that 73 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.879 we involve ourselves in and the stupid drama that we 74 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.040 always bringing it about into these I don't even know 75 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.920 where to start with it, to be honest, Like we'll 76 00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:27.920 just go into the cryptid community. There are content creators 77 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.360 out there and researchers and whatever they want to call 78 00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.560 themselves to do nothing but start a bunch of drama, 79 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:38.160 start feud, start wars, and it's all for clicks, it's 80 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.519 all for money, and it's all for getting the followers 81 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.360 out there to take their sides and to start a 82 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.199 flame war against someone else. And it's a constant thing 83 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:50.240 and it's so stupid. I guess if I have listeners 84 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.319 out there that wants to start a war for me 85 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.959 and start sending me money and all this other stuff 86 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.920 just because they don't know why anyone would want to 87 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:00.759 do all that. But hey, if you guys think this 88 00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.199 to me or like that for me, and I guess 89 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:08.399 by all means whatever. But to me, it's almost cult 90 00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:13.000 Like I don't get it. You're listening to a podcast 91 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.959 or a YouTube or something, and the things that they 92 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:21.279 say are completely off the wall, batshit crazy, and then 93 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:25.240 they claim that they're being attacked or this one said 94 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:29.279 something and this person's channel over here, and then we got 95 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.279 to go cancel these people or this one over here, 96 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:32.959 we can't get along with them or whatever. And it 97 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:38.759 all breeds from a jealous, ego driven desire to be 98 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.600 a center of attention. Why is that a necessity for 99 00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:47.240 some people? And it's not just the cryptic community. The 100 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:51.600 paranormal communities are just as toxic. I have some paranormal 101 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.160 events things that I've been to, and I've gone to, Well, 102 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.120 this certain investigative group doesn't get along with this group 103 00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:02.680 over here because certain members started drama. And then there's 104 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.120 stuff coming up later that I'll be at that other 105 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.800 people were not involved anymore because there's some sort of 106 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:12.199 drama that happens right after last year with someone else, 107 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.759 and we can't be involved because this person said something 108 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:16.800 that this person over here didn't like. So now we've 109 00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.519 got to take sides, and we all got to pick 110 00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:20.639 and choose. And if you're on this person's team, then 111 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:22.560 we can't be on this person's team, and we can't 112 00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.879 get along because, you know what, we're all stupid. That's 113 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:31.079 the truth. Everyone that falls into this categories of fighting 114 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:35.800 amongst themselves rather than getting along and trying to work together. 115 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:41.959 Everyone wants that notoriety, They want that ego stroking whatever 116 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:44.040 to make it all about themselves, and that is so 117 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:47.600 stupid because all you're doing is putting everyone else who 118 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.199 is an actual researcher, who actually cares and who actually 119 00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.600 wants to go out there and try and prove something. 120 00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:55.680 You're making it very hard for anyone to take it 121 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.439 seriously when all anyone sees online is your stupidity. And 122 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:01.399 one of the other other things that drives me insane 123 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:04.240 are the people that come out of the woodwork and 124 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:09.120 all of a sudden, after they got that taste of fame. 125 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.720 Is that like a thing or whatever. They become like 126 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:18.279 a professional podcasting guest, or they start to elaborate a 127 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.079 little bit more. This happened, and conveniently, more things happen, 128 00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:25.000 and all of a sudden, everything that goes on no 129 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:27.800 matter where they're at, there's just always something happening to 130 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.160 these people, and they've got new stories to tell them. 131 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.879 If this happened here, and this that discredits everything about 132 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.839 your original experiences, because if you never had an experience, 133 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:42.480 then all of a sudden, every time you go somewhere 134 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.279 you're having an experience. Someone that has the mindset of 135 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.959 a skeptic kind of like I do, it basically sounds 136 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:52.120 like you're full of crap and you're just making things 137 00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:54.600 up now so you can keep that fifteen minutes of 138 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.000 fame or whatever you think you had going because now 139 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.480 you're always having new experiences. And I'm not trying to 140 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.720 say this is not true that these people aren't actually 141 00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:06.800 having any experiences, but from the perspective that I'm at, 142 00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.399 it just seems like it's made up at this point. 143 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:11.399 And I feel like a lot of these people that 144 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.040 are involved in these groups and involved in these communities, 145 00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.399 they're posting up photos, they're posting up videos, and they're 146 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:20.360 arguing other people. And I post up this video of 147 00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:23.199 someone over here and this creature was in the woods. 148 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:24.959 Did you not see it? Yeah, I see a stump. 149 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:26.759 Well that isn't a stump, that's a dog man. Well 150 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.120 it's not a dog man because it's literally a fucking stump. 151 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.519 Well I'm not a true believer because I don't see it. No, 152 00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:37.200 it's not that I'm not a true believer. I just 153 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.600 don't believe that as a dog man because literally all 154 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.679 I see is a stump. I'm not going to be 155 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.159 the person that comes out here and starts to argue 156 00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:47.399 with people about what they're seeing and saying this and that. 157 00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.720 But at the end of the day, I don't see it, 158 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.399 and I'm not gonna lie and say I do. That 159 00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:55.240 is the one thing about me that people need to 160 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:58.399 really understand. I am not a liar. The one thing 161 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:00.080 I can't stand the most in the world is a 162 00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.039 friggin liar. And if someone wants to come out here 163 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:04.799 and lie all the time, then it kind of defeats 164 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:06.960 the purpose. And that's the problem I have with doing 165 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:09.440 the show is because not only do I have to 166 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:14.159 navigate through. Is someone telling me a bunch of crap? 167 00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:17.080 Does this really really happen to the person, or am 168 00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:20.480 I just feeding more egos to people that want the attention? 169 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:26.200 And that is the one biggest drawl that I struggle 170 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:31.000 with because for anyone that's not familiar with myself, and 171 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:32.759 I've said this I don't know how many times, So again, 172 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:35.080 if you're new around here, I'm apologizing because I'm not 173 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:37.879 trying to sound like it straight up a whole, but 174 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.320 I have never been one to really fully believe in 175 00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:45.279 this type of activity, this sort of stuff, and it 176 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:49.159 took something to change my mind. I had to have 177 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:55.080 that experience for myself. And ever since I did, I've 178 00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:59.039 wanted to find answers. I made the show to find answers. 179 00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:01.360 I wanted to to talk to people that had other 180 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:04.279 experiences like I did. I thought that would help me 181 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.240 on my quest to have some sort of closure. And 182 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.279 the more that I have done this, and the harder 183 00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.879 it's become for me to find that closure because I've 184 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:15.679 realized that no matter what I do, I'm probably never 185 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.120 going to get that answer. I'm not going to get 186 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.120 the closure. I'm not going to know what I actually saw, 187 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:21.720 and I'm not going to be able to close that 188 00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:24.480 whole part of my life because for some reason, for 189 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.240 the last eighteen years, this has been what has driven 190 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.440 me to where I'm at today. And I've said it 191 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:32.320 didn't have any sort of effect on me, But here 192 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:34.679 I am out in a barn talking to myself as 193 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:36.600 I record this, because clearly it did have some sort 194 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:38.600 of effect. And I feel like a freaking crazy person 195 00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:40.639 sometimes because I know that the thing that I saw 196 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.279 shouldn't even exist, and I don't believe that they do exist. 197 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.320 But here I am so try to convince your own 198 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.600 self first that the things that you see that you 199 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.559 know don't exist or there. And that's where I struggle, 200 00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:57.879 because there is no such thing to me as a 201 00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:01.600 dog man or a were wolf. But yet I know 202 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:04.600 what I saw and it doesn't make any sense because 203 00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:09.840 it defies logic. But here I am again, out here 204 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:14.039 recording to discuss things because I don't ever get a 205 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:16.679 chance to get that off my chest, like sometimes I 206 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:18.759 might go on someone else's podcast. I don't want to 207 00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.080 go on people's podcast, to be one hundred percent honest, 208 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:22.840 because I don't want the fame and I don't want 209 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:27.440 the glory to me. It's just I don't care if 210 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:29.159 you know me in real life. I don't talk to 211 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:30.799 a whole lot to people. I don't say a whole 212 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:34.000 lot of things. I'm more of an observer. I would 213 00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:36.080 rather sit in a corner and be the creepy guy, 214 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:39.200 I guess and just look at people and watch their 215 00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:42.559 actions or inner mingling of each other. And I try 216 00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:44.960 and pick up on the vibes of humans because for 217 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:51.279 some reason, we're all very strange creatures. But as weird 218 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:55.240 as that sounds like, for me, I'm just not a 219 00:11:55.240 --> 00:12:01.399 social person. And I host a podcast that interview people's 220 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:03.759 explain that it just doesn't make any sort of sense. 221 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:07.879 I saw some stuff the other day that was posted 222 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.720 online and again because for some reason, I just can't 223 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:14.919 stay off the echo chambers of stupidity, and I just 224 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:20.759 shake my head. The sheer ignorance of people. It's it's baffling. 225 00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:25.559 I don't get it. Like we all have to post 226 00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:28.759 our opinions on there, and I'm guilty of it too. 227 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:30.879 I'm not trying to say I'm better than anyone. I'm 228 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.720 just as bad. But it's a I don't when you 229 00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:38.759 come out and you are only trying to draw in 230 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:41.080 arguments with people, or you're trying to show to the 231 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.720 world that you're better than this person in that person's 232 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:50.320 this it's craziness, there really is, and it gives a 233 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:54.480 bad look to anyone that is in the same sort 234 00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.639 of field, to an outsider. I consider myself an outsider. 235 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:02.960 I always have. Forty one years old and I don't 236 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:05.919 fit in with any sort of group. I've struggled to 237 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.480 call myself a podcaster, and when I get around other podcasters, 238 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.320 I don't necessarily know if I fit in or not. 239 00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:13.720 I didn't fit in with preppy kids at school. I 240 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:15.639 didn't fit in with jocks at school. I didn't fit 241 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:17.440 in with nerdy kids at school. I just didn't fit 242 00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:19.000 in with anyone because at the end of the day, 243 00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:21.639 I wasn't a social butterfly. I didn't care about the interactions, 244 00:13:21.639 --> 00:13:23.320 I didn't care about the friendships, and I didn't care 245 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:25.720 about anything really. I just wanted to be myself, do 246 00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:27.919 what I do, enjoy life, and not worry about it. 247 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:30.799 Lo and behold here I am now still doing the 248 00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:35.039 same thing like I do what I do, and if 249 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:36.960 people like me, that's cool. If they don't like me. 250 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:38.480 That's cool too, because at the end of the day, 251 00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:41.320 I don't really think that it matters. I'm doing a 252 00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:44.919 podcast because I want to try and help people. I 253 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.639 want to try and help myself. I want to try 254 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:49.919 and find answers. I want people to feel like that 255 00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:51.879 they can come on here and talk with me. Because 256 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:55.879 as much as I say I don't care about certain things, 257 00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:58.960 I still feel like I want to do something that 258 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:00.879 I can to try and help people out. And I 259 00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:03.799 don't know if that means having people on the show 260 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.480 helps people, but I think it does. I hope it does. 261 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:10.799 I know some people enjoy the show. I'm glad and 262 00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:15.279 grateful for that. I have been disappointed lately to see 263 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:17.440 that my numbers have went down over the last year, 264 00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:21.399 but I don't have any control over that. There's something 265 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.080 coming out here soon that I hope will bring some 266 00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:27.360 more notoriety to the show, more exposure that kind of 267 00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:29.799 helps build that fan base back up. But at the 268 00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:33.559 same time, it could not happen. I mean, if it does, 269 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:35.720 that's awesome, But if it doesn't happen, then I guess 270 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:40.840 that sucks. But part of life. I have decided though 271 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:45.559 that whatever I do. I'm trying not to let it 272 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:49.000 get to me. I just need to focus on trying 273 00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:51.360 to present the best show that I can, the most 274 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.399 authentic show that I can, and try and be a 275 00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:58.960 representative for people out there like myself that had an experience. 276 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.159 They don't know what happened, they don't know why it happened, 277 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:05.519 they're just looking for answers, or they're just looking to 278 00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:07.559 share it to get it off their chest, because sometimes 279 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:09.679 opening up and talking about the things that we normally 280 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:11.960 can't talk about with people is one of the best ways. 281 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:16.080 It's a therapeutic way to get through life. Get it 282 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:19.960 off your chest, get it off your conscience, and just 283 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:23.320 go with it. I felt better after I talked about 284 00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:26.679 what happened to me. Is as crazy as it sounds, 285 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.279 the story of what I went through, I wouldn't believe it, 286 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:32.039 most likely if someone told it to me, had I 287 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:35.399 never experienced it myself. But I did, and because of that, 288 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.200 I just want to try and give that opportunity to 289 00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.200 people to come on the show and talk about it. 290 00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:42.799 Because I didn't have anyone to talk to. I didn't 291 00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:45.360 have people that wanted to believe it, and I just 292 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.919 felt like it was something that made no sense. So 293 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:50.639 I know there's other people out there that feel the 294 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:55.960 same exact way. I recently just talked to someone and 295 00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:59.240 some of the things that they talked about, like, yeah, 296 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.519 it seems like it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, 297 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.200 But I have to remind myself that what happened to 298 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:07.919 me doesn't make sense either. So how many people have 299 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.679 these experiences that they don't even want to talk about 300 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:13.879 because they don't even believe it themselves. I know, like 301 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.799 when people get online and they start to research into 302 00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:20.480 this thing that they've experienced or what they've witnessed, and 303 00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:23.279 they get on like social media groups and they start 304 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.600 to try and dig in deeper to talk with people 305 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:33.080 that maybe saw something like they did. That helps, but 306 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:40.679 it also feeds into more of a tribalistic sort of 307 00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:43.600 I can't even think of what I'm trying to say 308 00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:48.320 other than it just might feed more influence to them 309 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.840 and not help them in the way that it might 310 00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:55.360 be beneficial. Because some of the things that get posted 311 00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:57.399 in the groups and the things that people are sharing 312 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:01.279 and everything, I've often wondered if they really truly believe 313 00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:03.039 in some of the things that they're saying like if 314 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:05.279 they post up these photos and all they say is 315 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:07.799 there's a bigfoot here, or there's a dog man here, 316 00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:12.079 or this is a shadow person. They make the red circles, 317 00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:17.480 it's always greeny, always blurry. You can't make anything out. 318 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:19.839 People go along with it and say, oh, yeah, I 319 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.359 see it. Yeah. Well, then you get the person that 320 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:24.960 comes out and says, I don't see anything. All of 321 00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:27.319 a sudden, they're being ridiculed, they're being a doubter, or 322 00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:30.400 it's gotten to the point to where no one can 323 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.720 question anything, and that's not how it works. If you're 324 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:36.079 a person trying to prove or it is proved something, 325 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:41.759 you're going to have to have evidence that can stand scrutiny. 326 00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:43.759 That's the truth of the matter. And that's the only 327 00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:45.359 way that people are going to believe is if you 328 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:50.640 don't have the proof, If you have nothing but blurry 329 00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:54.400 photos or video, no one's going to take it seriously. 330 00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:57.039 If they're already on the fence about it, you might 331 00:17:57.079 --> 00:17:59.240 get the not like the people that are one hundred 332 00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:02.240 percent believer, you might get them to jump on the bandwagon. 333 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:07.839 And this is the true I literally made a photo 334 00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:13.240 of a dog man in the road with headlights coming 335 00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:17.680 at it, and I had posted it. I didn't say 336 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:19.759 it was real or anything about it. I just posted 337 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:21.920 the photo and asked if anyone had seen stuff like this, 338 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:24.079 and I actually got people thinking the photo was a 339 00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:31.079 real photo. Well, no, it's clearly not real. But if 340 00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:36.400 easily something like that can fake people out into believing it, 341 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:40.599 how many more people are getting their whole world's turned 342 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:43.000 around thinking that the things they see online are real 343 00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:47.079 when technically they're not. With the rise of AI technology 344 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:48.880 and the images and everything else, it's made it so 345 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:51.000 much harder for people while they're trying to prove these 346 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.400 things exist when all you see now is a bunch 347 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:56.559 of crap already layered in a field of a bunch 348 00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:00.440 of crap. Because anything that was a crystal clear photo, 349 00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:03.039 well that's not real. That's a man in a suit 350 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:06.680 that can be this blah blah blah. Oh, but here's 351 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:12.440 a blurry photo and that's what everyone. Oh, that's great photo. Yeah, 352 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:15.319 I see it. Well I don't see anything but pixelations. 353 00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:18.720 I feel like I've said this before, but paradolia is 354 00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.640 a true thing, and if you're not familiar with that 355 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:26.200 is it's where people see faces in photos or in 356 00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:30.000 clouds or something, and their brain translates it back into 357 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:34.480 seeing things that they're used to seeing. And I truly 358 00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:36.440 believe there is a lot of that that goes on 359 00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:39.920 in these photos. So people that post videos or photos 360 00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:43.240 of aliens or cryptids or even spirits or something like that, 361 00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:46.720 a lot of the time I feel like there is 362 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:51.400 not anything in those photos. But because they think there is, 363 00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:54.359 they see it. And I don't go in there thinking 364 00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:58.160 that there's not something there, so I automatically write it off. 365 00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:00.119 I just I try and keep an open mind. I 366 00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:02.880 encourage everyone listening to keep an open mind when you 367 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:05.160 start to look into these types of things, because you 368 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:08.119 can't go in with the mindset of just no, this 369 00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:12.039 isn't real, or yeah, everything's real. You have to be 370 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:14.640 able to prove it, prove it to yourself before you 371 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:18.319 can prove it to anyone else. You can't prove to 372 00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.079 yourself that these things in your photos or your video 373 00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:24.599 is what you actually believe it to be, then how's 374 00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:27.279 anyone else going to be able to believe it. That's 375 00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:30.400 just the truth of the matter. Everyone wants so much 376 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:33.720 to have that proof, and everyone out there needs that proof. 377 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:39.400 But until we have something conclusive, verifiable proof, you're still 378 00:20:39.440 --> 00:20:41.839 never going to convince the skeptics out there are the 379 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:45.480 people that don't want to believe. Just kind of like 380 00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:50.720 when I harped on like the whole conspiracy aspect a 381 00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:53.599 couple episodes back to where everything is a si up 382 00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:57.359 to people. Everything is a conspiracy to people. I'm not 383 00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:00.680 saying the conspiracies that are being brought out are not true, 384 00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:03.319 but everything that happens to people and they claim it's 385 00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:06.079 a syop. Everything that goes on in the world is 386 00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:11.440 a syop. You can't live life that way just because 387 00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:14.319 if you go through life thinking that everything is fake, 388 00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:16.559 then what are you doing through life? Like do you 389 00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:18.640 even have a job, are you even a real person? 390 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.599 Or are you yourself a syop and a disinformation agent. 391 00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:24.119 That is the thing that a lot of people need 392 00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:26.200 to say, because once they get so far down into 393 00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:28.559 the rabbit hole, there is no coming back for these people. 394 00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.599 I try to stay grounded. I try and stay as 395 00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:36.880 focused as I can and not slip too far deep 396 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.880 to where there is no recovery, because once you go 397 00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:42.160 down there and you're stuck, like there's just no climbing 398 00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:45.680 back out of that hole. Every time there's something that 399 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:50.519 happens in the world, the conspiracy people are automatically saying 400 00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:53.640 this isn't true. You know what, maybe some of it 401 00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:58.279
