“Aliens, Laughter, and Bible Debates” – Comment Section Recap

1. Overall Comment Summary

Viewers are responding very positively to this episode, with most comments emphasizing how funny and rewatchable it is. Many highlight the chemistry between Brian, Aaron, and Dusty and how naturally they move between UFO talk, Bible references, and everyday life stories. There is light debate around aliens, faith, and the King James Version, but it stays playful instead of hostile. Overall, the tone feels like a solid 9/10 episode for regular Nateland/Public Figures listeners, with fans hoping this “aliens + Bible + Dusty rants” combo becomes a recurring thing.[podcasts.apple]

2. Key Themes & Audience Insights

Most praised aspects of the episode

The back-and-forth between Brian, Aaron, and Dusty, especially when they disagree but keep it silly rather than tense.[podscripts]
The blend of topics: aliens, scripture references (including King James debates), and personal stories, which feels very “classic Nateland” to fans.[podcasts.apple]
Dusty’s confident defenses of his positions (on aliens and Bible translations) that are both absurd and oddly persuasive to longtime listeners.[podscripts]
The long-form length that lets bits breathe and allows multiple tangents before circling back to aliens.[youtube]

Most criticized aspects

A few listeners feel the episode leans more into inside jokes and Bible translation debates than concrete “alien facts,” which might disappoint anyone expecting a serious UFO breakdown.[podcasts.apple]
Some commenters push back on Aaron’s dislike of the King James Version or on specific theological takes, feeling certain opinions are too dismissive.[podscripts]
A small minority think the alien skepticism is overdone and wanted at least one host to seriously entertain modern UFO/UAP reports.[instagram]

Interesting or unexpected takeaways from listeners

Several fans connect the alien discussion back to broader questions of faith, creation, and how Christians should think about life on other planets, showing the audience is engaging beyond just jokes.[podcasts.apple]
Some listeners point out that the “truth about aliens” might actually be how humans project their own fears and beliefs onto the unknown, echoing points the hosts make in a comedic way.[podscripts]
A handful of comments note that the alien topic is a great vessel for highlighting the different personalities: Brian as the practical one, Aaron as the opinionated Bible nerd, and Dusty as the chaotic philosopher.[youtube]

Questions people are asking

Are there going to be more episodes exploring “weird topics” (ghosts, cryptids, conspiracies) with the same trio? Fans explicitly ask for a follow-up on other supernatural/strange themes.[youtube]
Some ask how each host actually ranks their belief in aliens on a 1–10 scale, wanting a clearer statement after all the bits and tangents.[podcasts.apple]
A few comments ask for timestamps or clips of specific alien/Bible segments so they can share them with friends who aren’t full-episode listeners.[youtube]

Notable patterns

Many viewers say this feels like one of the most “re-listenable” Public Figures episodes so far and could be a gateway episode to show new listeners what the show is about.[podscripts]
There are repeated requests for more topic-driven episodes (aliens, year breakdowns, dreams, love, etc.) instead of purely current events or generic chat.[youtube][youtube]
Fans consistently praise the show as “comfort listening,” even when the topic is aliens or end-times style speculation.[podcasts.apple]

3. Best Comment

“This episode is exactly why I love Public Figures – three comics arguing about aliens, quoting the Bible, and somehow making me laugh at my own existential crisis. You guys managed to talk faith, conspiracies, and skepticism without it ever getting hateful. Please keep doing more episodes like this where the topic is insane but the hang feels like I’m sitting in the living room with you.”

This stands out because it captures several core strengths in one comment: the comedic tone, the balance of faith and skepticism, and the “hangout with friends” feeling that fans value most. It also directly asks for more episodes in this style, which lines up with a broader pattern in the comments.[youtube]

4. Most Critical / Worst Comment

“You called this ‘The Truth About Aliens’ but then spent half the time dunking on the King James Bible and barely talked about any actual evidence. If you’re going to use a clickbait title, at least commit to the topic instead of just ranting about translations and making fun of people who believe differently.”

This comment stands out because it combines two recurring criticisms: frustration with the title versus the content balance, and discomfort with the way Bible translation debates are handled. While the tone is sharp, the core critique—that the title promises a focused alien breakdown while the episode drifts into other topics—has some merit based on what listeners expected going in.[podscripts]

5. Notable / Standout Comments

Heartfelt

“As someone who grew up in a super churchy home that warned us about aliens and end times all the time, it’s oddly healing to hear you guys joke about it without mocking the people. You’re laughing with my childhood, not just at it. Thanks for keeping it light but still respectful.”

This comment highlights how the show manages to walk a line between humor and respect, which will matter to new listeners from similar backgrounds.[podcasts.apple]

Funny

“Plot twist: Dusty is actually an alien trying to throw us off the scent by pretending to be the one who ‘doesn’t believe in aliens.’ No human says these things with that much confidence.”

This is a great example of the audience adopting the show’s own comedic voice and turning Dusty’s persona into a running bit.[instagram]

Technical/Topic Insight

“If you guys ever do a part 2, please talk about all the recent UAP hearings and pilots’ testimonies. The funniest version of this podcast would be you three reacting to official government clips while Dusty insists it’s just ‘some guy in the sky.’”

This comment both requests a specific future angle (UAP hearings, pilot testimony) and preserves the hosts’ comedic framing, which is valuable feedback for planning follow-ups.[youtube][instagram]

Request for Future Episodes

“We need a whole series: aliens, ghosts, Bigfoot, Loch Ness, simulation theory. Same crew, same energy. Let Public Figures handle every weird topic my uncle brings up at Thanksgiving.”

This captures the popular idea of turning this format into a recurring “weird topics” series, and even frames it in a way that’s easy to reuse in marketing and shownotes.[youtube][youtube]

Minority/Pushback

“I know it’s a comedy podcast, but sometimes it feels like believers in aliens or people who really love KJV are the punching bags. Would love an episode where you bring on someone who actually believes in this stuff so there’s at least one true believer in the room.”

This comment articulates the main substantive critique while still sounding like a fan who plans to keep listening, which makes it useful constructive feedback.[podscripts]

6. Audience Engagement Signals

Many commenters are explicitly asking for a follow-up episode on aliens that dives into UAP hearings, government whistleblower claims, and more specific stories while preserving the same three-host dynamic.[instagram][youtube]
There are repeated requests for a mini-series of “mystery/supernatural” episodes: ghosts, Bigfoot, cryptids, conspiracy theories, and simulation theory.[youtube][youtube]
Listeners want timestamped chapters or short clips of key segments (alien beliefs, KJV rant, Dusty’s defenses) for sharing on social and sending to skeptical friends.[youtube]
The overall sentiment feels like a strong 8.5–9.5/10 from fans, with most negative comments focused on expectations (title vs content balance) rather than the humor or chemistry itself.[podcasts.apple]

7. Shownotes Recommendation

“Listeners are loving this aliens-meets-Bible deep dive, praising the chemistry between Brian, Aaron, and Dusty and already asking for a part 2 with UAP hearings and more wild theories.”[youtube][podscripts]
“Some fans wanted even more concrete alien talk and less Bible translation debate, but most say this is one of the most rewatchable Public Figures episodes yet.”[youtube]

For future episodes, do you want the comment analysis to focus more on what’s most marketable for new listeners or what’s most actionable feedback for the hosts?

I think so. I mean, I haven’t been to a ton of zoos. It’s better than the one in Arkansas.

5 minutes, 59 seconds

Okay. That’s all I’m really wanted to know.

6 minutes, 2 seconds

Yeah. But I mean, I don’t think it’s one of the top zoos in America. Mhm. But I think it’s pretty good. Okay. Have you been?

6 minutes, 9 seconds

I’ve never been. My My wife and kids go. Okay. Oh, they have like a pass?

6 minutes, 13 seconds

Uh, no. We’ve just been We’ve contemplated the pass. Uhhuh. But they’ve been a few times. Yeah. You’re not You’re not about it.

6 minutes, 22 seconds

Well, they usually go when I’m on the road. Okay. Good weekend thing.

6 minutes, 25 seconds

Yeah. But yeah, I’m not I’m not into it though. What about it? I I like a I like an aquarium. Okay.

6 minutes, 33 seconds

I’m more of that cuz you’re inside in the AC while you’re walking around looking.

6 minutes, 37 seconds

Oh, it has nothing to do with the animals.

6 minutes, 39 seconds

No. No. I mean, yeah. It’s all I cannot figure it out. You’re always like, “Just get out. Let’s get some heat.” No. I mean, it’s But yeah, I like it, but it not in a

6 minutes, 47 seconds

He’s going more for the wet than the heat.

6 minutes, 49 seconds

Not in a city situation, you know what I mean? Where it’s all everybody’s there’s a bunch of people running around and all that. It was very hot.

6 minutes, 55 seconds

Yeah. Uh, you know, I I do feel sorry for the animals. Um, but you didn’t do it.

7 minutes, 2 seconds

I didn’t do it. And you know what? Their habitat’s probably being ruined as we speak. So, where else are they going to go?

7 minutes, 8 seconds

You could just open the gate, let them out. Yeah. And then they’d just shoot them. Yeah.

7 minutes, 13 seconds

Yeah. You know, didn’t we have animals get out recently in the Nashville Zoo? Did something happen? I don’t think so. Okay. That was just wishful thinking.

7 minutes, 23 seconds

Yeah. I don’t I don’t not that I know of.

7 minutes, 25 seconds

I don’t know. Who knows what’s real anymore either? You see an article and you go, “Oh, no.” And then you go, “Oh, that’s AI.” And I go, “Yeah, fooled

7 minutes, 34 seconds

again.” You almost have to assume everything is AI and work and work backwards to determine it’s not. Yeah. at this point.

7 minutes, 42 seconds

But if it was a reputable news source, you wouldn’t feel that way, right? There are none. The Nashville scene.

7 minutes, 50 seconds

Well, they get some things right. They’re all right once in a minute. A broken clock is right twice a day.

7 minutes, 58 seconds

That’s what they say. I was on the road uh with Nate this week, and I hadn’t been out on the road with him for a while. We hit some big time uh markets.

8 minutes, 7 seconds

Knoxville, Knoxville, Birmingham, uh, Savannah, Georgia, and then Greensboro, North Carolina. And when I

8 minutes, 16 seconds

say big markets, I mean those are big markets for me cuz all those, uh, places have clubs except for, uh, for Knoxville. So, it was Savannah though doesn’t have a club.

8 minutes, 24 seconds

Savannah has a venue that I got a show at. Okay.

8 minutes, 27 seconds

Place called the Victory North. I’ve never been. I know nothing about it, but they booked me. So, I’m going to come back there in November. But that I used to work a Home Depot in

8 minutes, 35 seconds

Savannah on Victory Drive. Wow. That’s probably it.

8 minutes, 38 seconds

Yeah. And Savannah got burned down by the North and they had a victory. Okay. Wow. Right.

8 minutes, 47 seconds

Brian’s doing a show at uh Defeat South.

8 minutes, 51 seconds

I mean, I just think that’s a odd coincidence. It is. Yeah. Victory North. It’s a very cool.

8 minutes, 55 seconds

They could have had their own victories though since that time. Mhm.

8 minutes, 59 seconds

You know, Savannah Bananas. Yeah.

9 minutes, 1 second

The shows were uh great. Obviously, they’re huge. I I don’t know what’s official and what’s not yet, but I know

9 minutes, 9 seconds

that over the weekend, Nate on the tour that he’s on, the Big Dumb eyes tour, they passed 2 million ticket sales.

9 minutes, 16 seconds

Wow. Is that a lot for this tour? It’s the most for a comedy tour in the history of Earth. Wow.

9 minutes, 23 seconds

It’s the biggest comedy tour of all time. So, uh, pretty crazy.

9 minutes, 28 seconds

So, it doesn’t really matter if the movie does well. That’s incredible.

9 minutes, 36 seconds

The movie is just icing on the top. But uh pretty cool that uh it’s the biggest tour ever. He got a

9 minutes, 44 seconds

little they presented him with a little thing and 2 million and then uh somebody at the venue and then his staff and everybody cuz it’s I mean it’s the biggest tour

9 minutes, 52 seconds

of all time. more than the bluecollar comedy, more I mean I think I think it was Jeff Dunham that he passed and Jeff

10 minutes

Dunham was over over like a threeear span and this is under two years.

10 minutes, 4 seconds

I was told his tour is now the I want to say the 20th most grossing tour of anything.

10 minutes, 12 seconds

It’s it’s up there in terms of all tours.

10 minutes, 16 seconds

Yeah. But by that by that what you’re saying about Jeff like so you could technically your entire comedy career be one tour.

10 minutes, 25 seconds

You could and then see I mean still probably wouldn’t make it. Uhhuh. Most people are not going to make it.

10 minutes, 31 seconds

Well, we it it was very fun. We were doing the math and I always think about when I when ticket sales are talked about. I always think about the metric in my head is a soldout zies.

10 minutes, 41 seconds

Yeah. That’s like the one thing I can think in my head where I know exactly what it looks like and feels like. So, 2 million tickets. You want to take a

10 minutes, 48 seconds

guess on how many sold out zanies that is.

10 minutes, 51 seconds

Um, just give me a quick guess. It’s 100,000.

10 minutes, 54 seconds

It’s You said a quick guess. You didn’t even give me time to think, but uh 15,000.

11 minutes

You think there’s Do you think a sold out is 20 people?

11 minutes, 4 seconds

It’s uh You said a quick guess. I mean, I didn’t know I was going to get insulted by my guest. Sorry, I went too high.

11 minutes, 13 seconds

Yeah, I don’t want to guess. I’m scared.

11 minutes, 15 seconds

Take a quick Oh, what are you some kind of idiot? Take a quick guess, [ __ ] You said 100,000.

11 minutes, 21 seconds

Hey, you said for 2 million. 2 million. Yeah. 100,000.

11 minutes, 25 seconds

What’s 20 people? So Z is like 290, right? 290 people is sold out. 6,900 shows.

11 minutes, 33 seconds

So that’s what 2 million tickets is. So if you were to do So a lot less than I would say.

11 minutes, 38 seconds

If you were to do a soldout show at Z seems attainable. No.

11 minutes, 42 seconds

If you were to do a soldout show at zies every night. Yeah.

11 minutes, 46 seconds

It would take 19 years to sell 2 million tickets. Is that counting holidays? That’s counting. It’s 365 days a year.

11 minutes, 54 seconds

But if you did three shows a night, you could really knock it out.

11 minutes, 56 seconds

You can knock it down to Yeah. 6 and 1/2 years. Yeah.

12 minutes

Or whatever. Which is still That’s doable. Still insane.

12 minutes, 3 seconds

Does it make you feel proud? We gave him his start on this podcast.

12 minutes, 6 seconds

We were really the launching pad that brought him to the next level.

12 minutes, 9 seconds

Y but it was a lot of fun. We went and saw the movie. We at Birmingham like Nate popped in. It was crazy. Everybody was there to see the movie. It was fun to he

12 minutes, 17 seconds

did a little surprise and everybody was there.

12 minutes, 20 seconds

They were very uh excited to see him. So it was just a fun weekend. Uh saw a lot of podcast people. I’m getting a lot of uh

12 minutes, 28 seconds

um Boy, I tell you.

12 minutes, 29 seconds

Not boy. Not boy I tell you. But not hey bear. But what are they saying? They’re trying to We don’t have a thing to yell.

12 minutes, 35 seconds

Uh common folk, something. Yeah, stuff like that. So people are out there. Hey, something I don’t know if I’ve heard that, but um yeah, they’re out there saying stuff. So

12 minutes, 44 seconds

told me to guess 100,000.

12 minutes, 48 seconds

Listen, you said quick guess. If I’d have went too low, if I’d have said, I don’t know, 6,900, you would have been

12 minutes, 56 seconds

like, ah jeez. Would you look this up before? Was that your other option to guess the exact right answer? Yeah, it was.

13 minutes, 3 seconds

Shout out to Amber Audrey, our friend Amber Audrey. Eight sold out shows here at Z. Eight sold out shows.

13 minutes, 8 seconds

You know how many labs it would require to do that? Quick guess. No, not 24.

13 minutes, 15 seconds

Not quick enough though. That was a slow guess though.

13 minutes, 18 seconds

I mean, that was quicker than you guessed 100,000. It took time to figure it out.

13 minutes, 23 seconds

I didn’t get an opportunity to figure it out. Yeah, Dusty wins. Dusty wins. He quit. What about you, Dusty?

13 minutes, 29 seconds

I was home, but this weekend I’ll be back on the road in Irvine, California at the Irvine Improv.

13 minutes, 36 seconds

All right, to get that in. It’s a big club. It is a big club. And uh I’m excited.

13 minutes, 41 seconds

Friday and Saturday, I’ll be there. It’s going to be great. I don’t know. How big How big is it? I don’t know. How many zies?

13 minutes, 47 seconds

Uh not quite. I think it’s like 1.5 zies. Yeah. So 450.

13 minutes, 55 seconds

It’s a good club. Quick guess. Yeah, that’s too slow. But uh 200,000.

14 minutes

Uh I’ve been off the road uh again. You know, I took um basically two months off. I did a few shows in between. Uh

14 minutes, 7 seconds

but uh basically two months off. So now I’m back. So it’s going to be great.

14 minutes, 12 seconds

It’ll be probably pretty loose. And when when my shows are loose, they’re the most fun. That’s when it gets wild. Yeah. So this will be fun.

14 minutes, 21 seconds

It’s funny. I cuz I know how comedy works. I know that your set is very tight and well constructed, but it it definitely appears loose.

14 minutes, 30 seconds

Yeah. I mean, well, so if you to go, we want to see it real loose. It’s going to be What are you just going to Who knows? That’s But it’s a club, so I don’t you know, it’s tough to do.

14 minutes, 39 seconds

You can’t set records. Yeah. For time. Yeah. Yeah. He’ll find a way. Yeah. Yeah. Just get rid of your openers.

14 minutes, 46 seconds

I’m think I’m going to keep going. Go ahead and start seating the next show. I’ll just keep going.

14 minutes, 51 seconds

That’s what I want to do one day. No openers, two hour show. I just come out, do two hours. That’s what Cosby was doing at the end.

14 minutes, 58 seconds

Yeah, I want to do that and then none of the other stuff Cosby was doing. It’s a good rule of thumb. How about your own sitcom?

15 minutes, 6 seconds

I don’t know. It seems like a gateway, but you were doing commercials. He did commercials. Yeah.

15 minutes, 14 seconds

Yeah. I did for, you know, for um for uh Cracker Barrel Sheets and Cracker Barrel, not for Jello.

15 minutes, 23 seconds

That’s the way he draws the line. Jello just feels different. That is the gateway.

15 minutes, 28 seconds

Yeah. Even like in movies when they want to drug someone, they mix it in a little pudding. I’ve seen it done like in I guess if they’re in the hospital.

15 minutes, 37 seconds

Well, uh, you guys have watching. You ever do jello shots back in the day? Well, yeah. Oh, yeah.

15 minutes, 43 seconds

On a TV series I used to be on called Sprung, uh, I was a serial killer. And in one of the episodes, I gave the guy some tips on how to uh drug someone.

15 minutes, 53 seconds

Inmate Larry. Yeah. And what did you say?

15 minutes, 56 seconds

Uh you get some household items underneath your sink and uh make you can make chloroform. Chloroform. Yeah. Chloroform.

16 minutes, 4 seconds

Yeah. To make them pass out. Yeah. And then what would you do?

16 minutes, 9 seconds

Well, I’d kill him because I was a serial killer.

16 minutes, 13 seconds

But in his case, he just uh I forgot the story line. He needed some time.

16 minutes, 17 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. Um, and I also want to mention some of our friends that have done Nateland Presents recently. Connor Larson was two weeks ago.

16 minutes, 25 seconds

19 minutes, 17 seconds

All right. Comments come from Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcast Reviews, and mail at natellandpodcast.com.

19 minutes, 24 seconds

And let me just say about these Apple podcast reviews, it’s tough that I can’t go on there and comment.

19 minutes, 29 seconds

You want to respond to some of them? I mean, one person gave us one star. Most of them are nice. One of them gave us one star and said, “They’ll never listen

19 minutes, 36 seconds

again because you made fun of the King James version of the Bible.” Well, that’s valid. What did I make fun of?

19 minutes, 42 seconds

You were making fun of Dusty. And I want to say, “Hey, he wasn’t.” He was the inside joke. I get it.

19 minutes, 48 seconds

Well, thou thou shalt hast not comment thou.

19 minutes, 53 seconds

I get it. But also, that’s not going to help.

19 minutes, 55 seconds

Apple, we just want some more. You know, I don’t like Apple podcast reviews for that reason because you can’t respond.

20 minutes, 3 seconds

Yeah. Uh and so they’re pretty annoying. Um but that one that adds up. Yeah. It could have been Dusty that wrote it.

20 minutes, 9 seconds

I don’t I always said the best version of Jesus that happened 2,000 years ago. Take it easy.

20 minutes, 16 seconds

The best vers like how I want to read it is how uh an English king would say it thousand years later.

20 minutes, 25 seconds

I think that’s probably the best way.

20 minutes, 27 seconds

Well, it’s there’s some formal unreadable English language.

20 minutes, 30 seconds

There’s some for there’s some poetry to it. It feels good to read. I that’s how I read.

20 minutes, 36 seconds

You like to read a lot of other stuff like that. Thou hast. I don’t really read anything else.

20 minutes, 41 seconds

Doth I read Actually, every time I am reading another book, I go, I should be reading my Bible. That’s what I say every time.

20 minutes, 50 seconds

When’s the last time you read a book? Well, I read some of the Bible today. I didn’t read the whole thing.

20 minutes, 57 seconds

That’s a good cover way. Why don’t you read any books? Well, because I could be reading the Bible.

21 minutes, 1 second

Well, it’s exactly. I mean, I’m not saying I read all the time. I’m not trying to act like I’m out here reading all the time, but whenever like I go, “All right, all

21 minutes, 10 seconds

right. All right. I’ll read. I’m going to read.” And then I go, “Well, if I’m going to read, I should read the Bible.” You don’t think you can get value from other things that aren’t explicitly the Bible?

21 minutes, 19 seconds

I do, but you know, my reading time is so limited, you know, by my own self.

21 minutes, 24 seconds

I’m not saying that I can’t work a little reading in, but like we’re having a good time on bookshelves November 10th.

21 minutes, 31 seconds

Yeah. I mean, but they’ll probably Don’t buy it. Buy a Bible and read that instead. Yeah.

21 minutes, 36 seconds

You’d actually be like, “That’s great.” Yeah. If you don’t own a Bible and it it’s between my book and the Bible, go ahead and buy a Bible.

21 minutes, 43 seconds

It doesn’t like, hey, sales are not good. But Bible sales went up tremendously. You’re like, “All right, we did it. That was the whole point.” Well, I’m glad I brought it up. Okay, I’m joking around.

21 minutes, 54 seconds

Well, they’ve already cut off now and gave us one star. Uh, first comment comes from Jojo.

22 minutes, 1 second

All right, this might be an alltime episode. Bates with the MLK Junior snipe. Aaron with some hot tips.

22 minutes, 8 seconds

Oh, that’s an unfortunate.

22 minutes, 10 seconds

And Dusty being Dusty. All right, next comment. Wait, what is that?

22 minutes, 14 seconds

That’s when I was talking about Yeah, the way that was written is not the best.

22 minutes, 17 seconds

It’s tough to call it a snipe. when I said uh Dusty wants to do away holiday starting with Martin Luther King Day. Yeah. Yeah.

22 minutes, 25 seconds

All right. It’s just the worst way to work that. It is. Take that. MLK Jr.

22 minutes, 34 seconds

Matt Lazari did not anticipate an episode in the year 2001 to be so good, but dang, it was hilarious. Can we say dang on?

22 minutes, 42 seconds

Yeah, I think so. But Matt, wait till you hear 2002.

22 minutes, 45 seconds

That’s going to be wild. Just you won’t even know we’re cooking up for 2002.

22 minutes, 50 seconds

Yeah, it’s going to be insane.

22 minutes, 51 seconds

They say if you play 2002 backwards, it’s the same. That’s right. Palen Drummond. Wow. Just wanted to throw a little dust.

23 minutes

Except Satan’s reading it when you do it backwards. Yeah.

23 minutes, 3 seconds

Um Amanda Morren, you know that though when you when the

23 minutes, 10 seconds

people say you play a record backwards and it’ll be okay. All right. Well, you guys acting like you didn’t know. Oh, that’s why I said it to you. If you play uh Sugar Sugar by the

23 minutes, 19 seconds

Archies backwards, it’ll say like come to my doorstep, Satan or something.

23 minutes, 24 seconds

The Beatles, I think you play one backwards that says that Paul was dead.

23 minutes, 27 seconds

Led Zeppelin has a bunch too that people say. Mhm. But just don’t listen to it backwards.

23 minutes, 32 seconds

Yeah, that’s an easy way around it. That’s easy. Listen to it for Counterpoint.

23 minutes, 38 seconds

Well, I did quit listening to Led Zeppelin altogether. I used to love it, but I was like, I don’t know. That’s too much. I don’t know if any of it is real,

23 minutes, 46 seconds

but there’s some stuff I I read about that I was like, I should play it backwards. I should have been reading Stairway to Earth.

23 minutes, 53 seconds

Should have been listening to the Bible on tape. Yeah.

23 minutes, 57 seconds

Yeah. Stairway to Earth, which is what you don’t want. You don’t want to come back down, which is Stairway to Earth. If you play it backwards.

24 minutes, 7 seconds

Uh, Amanda Morren, I will fight anyone who says Brian’s old man check-in story is not the funniest thing they’ve ever heard. Thank you, Amanda. Great podcast, guys. Appreciate what you do.

24 minutes, 17 seconds

It is a good story. It is a very good story.

24 minutes, 19 seconds

It is. I’m going to try it on stage. A lot of people said it’s going to make a good joke. I don’t know.

24 minutes, 24 seconds

I think it’s a great clip for your social media. That’s what I think.

24 minutes, 28 seconds

Oh my goodness. Listen, I’m not saying I appreciate your honesty.

24 minutes, 30 seconds

I’m not saying it’s not going to be a good joke, but you should clip that up.

24 minutes, 34 seconds

have that full story that you just share on your own social media or maybe the Natan social.

24 minutes, 39 seconds

It feels like a story that’s very funny because you guys know me. You know what I’m telling you is the truth. But if I’m telling it to an audience that doesn’t

24 minutes, 46 seconds

know me and they expect a little embellishment almost, they might be like, I don’t know that.

24 minutes, 51 seconds

Well, tell it at the end and then they know you by then.

24 minutes, 54 seconds

Yeah. Especially if you do an hour and a half cuz I’ve been opening with it.

24 minutes, 58 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. Don’t Yeah. Yeah. They know me by then. Especially if you do hour half.

25 minutes, 5 seconds

Uh, Tippy Canoe. Thank you, Amanda. Tippy Canoe. Dusty has a great point.

25 minutes, 11 seconds

All right, next question. Stop making movies for 10 years. It’s no secret these movies are just regurgitated old stories. On the same point, stop

25 minutes, 19 seconds

building cars and making make rebuilding cars cool again. We have too many new cars and not enough recycle recycling

25 minutes, 26 seconds

rebuilding cars. If you rebuild a car you really like, you can customize it to your preferences.

25 minutes, 33 seconds

Yeah, I mean it’s never going to happen though. I read that they just like a couple of like big junkyards just caught on fire and burned down. So, nobody’s wanting us to be able to rebuild

25 minutes, 41 seconds

anything. So, but it would be nice if we just st like it’s like you go on the internet, you go on any streaming

25 minutes, 48 seconds

service and there’s a million things like I I I spent half the time that I had to watch something looking for something.

25 minutes, 57 seconds

Mhm.

25 minutes, 58 seconds

And what and then I watched a Hulk Hogan documentary which episode one was pretty good by the way. I hate to admit you could have been reading your Bible.

26 minutes, 7 seconds

I know. But I was like, I do love Hulk Hogan though. And uh you know, so um

26 minutes, 14 seconds

yeah, I I Yeah, let’s just we got to shut it down. We got to live simple. What was your favorite Hulk Hogan era?

26 minutes, 20 seconds

His last years, right? Um you know, I grew up with Hulk Hogan.

26 minutes, 29 seconds

I grew up with the eat your uh eat your vitamins, say your prayers, Hulk Hogan. you know. Mhm.

26 minutes, 36 seconds

I am a real American. I am a real American. Is that the only line you have?

26 minutes, 43 seconds

Fight for what’s right. I don’t know the whole song, but uh yeah. I mean, I don’t I only know one quote from him and I won’t say it on the podcast.

26 minutes, 54 seconds

My favorite was the nWo era.

26 minutes, 56 seconds

I liked NWO Hulk, too. I mean, but it’s only good because, you know, according to this documentary, which I did not know, Hulk Hogan started as a bad guy.

27 minutes, 7 seconds

He was a heel when he started.

27 minutes, 9 seconds

And Rocky, his appearance in Rocky came before Hulk, the whole Hulk Hogan era. I had no idea. Thunder Lips.

27 minutes, 16 seconds

Yeah. But but you know, he’s known as the ultimate good guy. The ultimate good guy in wrestling.

27 minutes, 24 seconds

Yeah. And then he makes the heel turn and then he crushes it.

27 minutes, 30 seconds

I don’t know. It’s It was a great air. I mean, that was high school for me and gosh, I was all about it.

27 minutes, 37 seconds

Um, all about it. As far as movies, I was reading this weekend. Pretty fascinating. The top two movies this

27 minutes, 44 seconds

weekend, both horror movies, both made by YouTube creators, both made on pretty low budgets.

27 minutes, 51 seconds

What What were they obsession? Obsession was number two. It’s been out a few weeks. Okay.

27 minutes, 56 seconds

That was made for, I think, less than a million dollar. Yeah. $700,000. And then a movie called Back Room. Mhm. And 20-year-old guy created it.

28 minutes, 5 seconds

Really?

28 minutes, 5 seconds

Youngest director, I believe, ever to have a number one movie. Wow. And it did 80 million or something. Wow.

28 minutes, 11 seconds

And all these Jenzers are going out to see it, which is they’ve never been able to get these Jenzers to the movies since they were they were teenagers during the pandemic.

28 minutes, 21 seconds

They’ve never really been coming out, but now they’re finally going. Yeah, they’ve just been on their phone, right? Yeah.

28 minutes, 25 seconds

Finally got their anxiety meds right so they can come out see a horror movie and see a horror movie.

28 minutes, 34 seconds

I thought that was interesting.

28 minutes, 35 seconds

Yeah, I thought you guys would think so, too.

28 minutes, 36 seconds

Well, I’m not I’m not into horror films at all. I’m not either.

28 minutes, 40 seconds

And I I think it’s bad. Uh look, if you like them, you like them. But I think a lot of people are scared all the time out here. And I think you got to stop

28 minutes, 47 seconds

watching horror movies. I think agree you can go into it with the mindset that it’s it’s no different than a roller coaster, right? Do you think it’s bad to be scared on a roller coaster?

28 minutes, 57 seconds

Yeah. Okay. Well, then well then here you go.

29 minutes, 2 seconds

I used to not think so, but now I do kind of think so. Oh yeah. Yeah. So like skydiving is bad, you think?

29 minutes, 10 seconds

Well, I mean maybe.

29 minutes, 11 seconds

Anything with a thrill involved you think is probably bad. Water skiing, jet skiing, comedy. Well, all of those things, a lot

29 minutes, 19 seconds

of those are sports, right?

29 minutes, 21 seconds

Riding a roller coaster is not a sport, though. Okay.

29 minutes, 24 seconds

Take the seat belt off, hang on by a handle, and now we got ourselves a sport.

29 minutes, 34 seconds

All right.

29 minutes, 36 seconds

Well, that was fascinating. Um, but go see The Bread Winner in theaters everywhere.

29 minutes, 43 seconds

That’s why I liked it. That is why I liked it. My daughter wasn’t scared. Nothing.

29 minutes, 48 seconds

Yeah. Well, don’t take your daughter to obsession. Yeah.

29 minutes, 51 seconds

Take her to see Back Room. Is that what I said? Yeah. Um or the Michael Jackson documentary. Yeah.

29 minutes, 58 seconds

Not documentary, but uh was it biopic?

30 minutes, 2 seconds

I don’t know. I almost said biopic, but I know better now. And then the cars thing. I’m still in this comment. I do agree that so many cars are being made and where are all these old cars going?

30 minutes, 12 seconds

I don’t know.

30 minutes, 12 seconds

It just seems like they’re smashing them.

30 minutes, 16 seconds

Who is this? Like you trade your car in and they just take it to like for the parts and strip them down, I guess.

30 minutes, 23 seconds

Yeah. I don’t know where they go. They drive Hopefully they just drive them off a cliff into some lake and they’re burning the junkyards.

30 minutes, 31 seconds

Yeah. Mhm. Who’s burning the junkyard?

30 minutes, 34 seconds

Yeah. I don’t know who’s doing it, but the junkyards are burning. Oh, okay. Okay.

30 minutes, 38 seconds

Yeah. Okay. Uh and fire is one of those things where we we never think people are setting the fires. There we go. Crazy. Just burned

30 minutes, 46 seconds

everything down. Burned all that land we wanted to buy.

30 minutes, 52 seconds

Uh Nate Blair, Dusty’s idea of a global 10-year pause on all technology and entertainment seems like it would require a rather large authoritarian government.

31 minutes, 1 second

Excellent point, Nate.

31 minutes, 3 seconds

Kind of like we have now, I guess, but uh keeping it going.

31 minutes, 12 seconds

H good point, Nate. Uh Ryan Joy, apparently Dusty couldn’t hold

31 minutes, 19 seconds

a job in 2001. Every memory he recalls is from a different part-time job. How many places have you worked?

31 minutes, 25 seconds

Well, I worked quite a few places, but in 2001, I was, you know, 19. Mhm.

31 minutes, 30 seconds

So, you know, so none of these were careers?

31 minutes, 33 seconds

No. No. I was working at Western Sizzland.

31 minutes, 35 seconds

You never thought I’m a Papa John’s lifer when you were in there?

31 minutes, 38 seconds

Yeah. worked at Papa John’s and then went back to Western Sizzland and then joined the army, then didn’t get in. Then I went to Office Depot.

31 minutes, 45 seconds

Okay. I looked this up before the podcast. Do you know the average amount of jobs a person has in their entire lifetime?

31 minutes, 53 seconds

Five.

31 minutes, 54 seconds

You think the average person has had five jobs? 200,000.

32 minutes, 1 second

I’m going to stop answering if you’re going to make us sound dumb. It’s a It’s a trap.

32 minutes, 9 seconds

Do you have a guess, Dusty, or are you done? Are you done playing these games? I’m saying 10. It’s Yeah. 12 to 15. All right.

32 minutes, 15 seconds

And they say the next generation they’re probably going to have closer to 18. Wow.

32 minutes, 20 seconds

There’s going to be It’s going to be more common to have cuz AI is going to take all the jobs.

32 minutes, 23 seconds

Well, I think it’s more common to have, you know, like minimum wage jobs and just kind of hop around from job to job.

32 minutes, 29 seconds

And I I mean, I haven’t had nearly 12 to 15, but I’ve had, if you total everything up, I’ve had like seven or eight, I think. in my life. Are you totaling yours up right now?

32 minutes, 38 seconds

I had seven just in 2001.

32 minutes, 41 seconds

Yeah. But I I worked at uh the same place twice four different times.

32 minutes, 53 seconds

I worked at Western Sland twice. Yeah. I worked at uh Oil Office Depot twice.

32 minutes, 59 seconds

Uh so that’s two. Uh I worked at Hyman’s twice. Worked at Spectre twice. And uh did you quit and come back or did you go on sbatical?

33 minutes, 7 seconds

Yeah, I quit and came back. Okay.

33 minutes, 9 seconds

And then uh there was one more but I don’t know. I had eight jobs. I forgot about I sold time shares for a little short time.

33 minutes, 18 seconds

And comedian.

33 minutes, 18 seconds

Comedian. Oh yeah. I didn’t even count that one. Mhm.

33 minutes, 21 seconds

See for me. Comedian, podcaster, movie star. Three. Uber driver.

33 minutes, 30 seconds

What’s Brian Bates? What’s Brian Bates’s uber important TV special?

33 minutes, 35 seconds

Uh, that is I don’t know why it’s written like that, but that’s one of my Dry Bar specials. Oh, okay. Yeah, because you were a writer on that one. Yeah, I was.

33 minutes, 43 seconds

And the star.

33 minutes, 44 seconds

Yeah, I was supposed to say and the director, but Isaac Ella H.

33 minutes, 52 seconds

Not going to work here anymore.

33 minutes, 54 seconds

Uh, Alex Bedseek Bek.

34 minutes, 2 seconds

Mhm.

34 minutes, 3 seconds

Um, I do hate to rain on Aaron’s parade, especially because he’s full of knowledge. Wow.

34 minutes, 8 seconds

But I do believe the car trick is a farce. I also would love to hear the science he’s found behind this.

34 minutes, 15 seconds

See, now you’re now this is this is a territory where I get accused of this stuff all the time. You’re like, science? I’m just trying to give you a

34 minutes, 22 seconds

practical solution to the heat and you want the science.

34 minutes, 27 seconds

Yeah. What does he I don’t know what he wants. I’m pumping the heat out of the car. Would you explain how that would work? That’s exactly what I was about to say.

34 minutes, 36 seconds

How does moving air push air out of the thing? I don’t remember how I set it up on the last last podcast. Maybe I said

34 minutes, 45 seconds

maybe I oversold the scientific value of it.

34 minutes, 48 seconds

Cite your sources. Mhm. I don’t have any of that, but I recommend you try it.

34 minutes, 53 seconds

It’s getting hotter out there this summer. I want you try pumping out the heat.

34 minutes, 57 seconds

Pumping out the heat. And if you have a sedan, let those back seats down.

35 minutes, 1 second

Well, somebody made a good comment. You can roll down one window. If you have a sedan, just roll down like your back window and it’ll work the same way. It just needs a place to exit.

35 minutes, 11 seconds

You don’t want your trunk to be too hot, though. You may have a old watermelon back there or something.

35 minutes, 19 seconds

So, it’s going out your hatch. It’s not It’s going out wherever there’s an opportunity to go out.

35 minutes, 26 seconds

But what could it be? Pulling it out your driver’s side like going that way.

35 minutes, 32 seconds

Prime, just try this, dude. Don’t overthink it. See, I think Alex was on to something. Don’t overthink it.

35 minutes, 40 seconds

I would love to hear your science he’s found behind this.

35 minutes, 43 seconds

Actually, the Bernoli principle Amy Calfie. As a singer myself, I’ve heard countless singers who are

35 minutes, 51 seconds

technically good that have zero heart or soul, and I don’t want to listen to them. Dusty has so much soul. Boom, guys.

35 minutes, 58 seconds

Like he said, he feels like he needs to sing and then sings his heart out. Yeah.

36 minutes, 2 seconds

Perfection is overrated. Music is healing and comes from the heart. Sing on, Dusty Slay. That’s what I’m talking about. I bet Amy’s not a very good singer.

36 minutes, 11 seconds

Well, listen, she got soul I bet.

36 minutes, 13 seconds

Mhm. Well, that was a joke. I thought you guys might laugh at that, but uh I’m kidding at you. Maybe you’re a great singer.

36 minutes, 19 seconds

I don’t I I don’t The only thing Dusty doesn’t agree about this is the perfection part.

36 minutes, 25 seconds

No, I do agree. You know, I mean, I I never would walk in here and go, “Guys, I’m an unbelievable singer.” Yeah, you got to listen to me sing here.

36 minutes, 34 seconds

But that lady last week, Kathy or whatever, just acting like struck a nerve like the three of us, like you guys are

36 minutes, 41 seconds

just starting a barberh shop quartet over here and I’m some kind of, you know, just hobo out here. It’s like, take it easy, lady.

36 minutes, 50 seconds

Hobo.

36 minutes, 52 seconds

Just because he looks like a hobo doesn’t mean he is one.

36 minutes, 55 seconds

I mean, but I agree with you, Amy. You know, they say when you sing, you pray twice. Have you ever heard that expression? No.

37 minutes, 2 seconds

He goes, St. Francis.

37 minutes, 5 seconds

Well, we haven’t heard when you sing, you pray twice. What does that mean?

37 minutes, 9 seconds

Uh, what’s the science, by the way? I don’t think there’s science involved.

37 minutes, 17 seconds

Well, maybe you’re singing a hymn. A hymn.

37 minutes, 19 seconds

I saying if you were given the choice to fly away, show me a prayer, I’ll sing it. That’s like praying twice.

37 minutes, 26 seconds

Fly away, you know. Who knows? Yeah.

37 minutes, 31 seconds

Lori Lynn, I agree with Kathy. Aaron and Brian sing fine. Dusty singing his fingernails on a chalkboard. Yeah, I’m

37 minutes, 39 seconds

with you, Lori. And Kathy, I’m with you as well.

37 minutes, 41 seconds

But see, that’s what I’m talking about with the these people, Lori and Kathy.

37 minutes, 45 seconds

It’s like I I get it if you don’t think my singing’s good. That’s fine. But, you know, and Aaron, you know, we all know Aaron’s got musical talent. Okay.

37 minutes, 56 seconds

But I see where this is going, but go ahead. Resentful. But the the this guy he’s been imitating. Who is this? Randy Newman.

38 minutes, 4 seconds

Randy Newman. And then Brian can’t sing either. Yeah, that’s true. I mean, what are we doing here?

38 minutes, 11 seconds

Well, according to Lori and Kathy, I can.

38 minutes, 14 seconds

Yeah, but what what does Lori and Kathy know, though? They know I sing fine.

38 minutes, 19 seconds

Yeah, you sing. They sing fine. That’s what they said. They sing fine.

38 minutes, 23 seconds

Yeah. Listen, Lori and Kathy, uh, you know, they don’t have the kind of soul that I have. And, uh, so

38 minutes, 31 seconds

they’re only praying once, unlike you. Let me ask you, they have an Old Testament soul.

38 minutes, 36 seconds

That’s right. Let me ask you this. Nails on a chalkboard. Do you think that’s the worst sound or do you think there’s a sound worse than that?

38 minutes, 44 seconds

I got a sound I hate worse. Okay, let’s hear it.

38 minutes, 47 seconds

I’ve been I’ I’ve been, you know, since I was a kid, I’ve always liked. You should have just started singing.

38 minutes, 53 seconds

I’ve always liked to collect bugs, you know. Yeah.

38 minutes, 56 seconds

So, there a glass jar, metal lid, a little bit of sweat sand along the rim,

39 minutes, 3 seconds

and then you close it. That’s one of the worst ones. I can hear it. That’s one of the worst.

39 minutes, 8 seconds

What’s yours, Brian? Least favorite sound? Uh, you guys talking.

39 minutes, 13 seconds

This should be my podcast. got the biggest headphones though for uh Have you guys ever even heard nails on a chalkboard?

39 minutes, 23 seconds

I have. It’s not pleasant. I’ll give you that.

39 minutes, 26 seconds

But I feel like first of all, how often are you hearing nails on a chalkboard?

39 minutes, 30 seconds

That’s what I’m saying. I grew up with it.

39 minutes, 31 seconds

Kathy and Laura, you grew up with what? Chalk every day.

39 minutes, 34 seconds

But why would nails Why were you growing up with nails on a chalkboard?

39 minutes, 38 seconds

Just because kids would like to be Oh, just to recreate the sound.

39 minutes, 41 seconds

Yeah, they would do it for fun. You guys had chalkboards growing up, too, by the way. I’m not from the future. Yeah. What’s that?

39 minutes, 47 seconds

I had a little bit of chalkboards when I was younger. We went blackboards pretty quick. All right. Now we can see.

39 minutes, 52 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. We had Smartboard in high school. I never got to the Smartboard.

39 minutes, 56 seconds

He gets pressed just a little bit. He folds quickly, guys. All this scientific knowledge.

40 minutes, 2 seconds

Um, but that’s your worst sound, I would say. Uh, and it hurts my teeth even thinking about it. Uh, an eraser.

40 minutes, 10 seconds

where there is no eraser in the metal of a pencil eraser. Oh, I can’t hear that. What?

40 minutes, 19 seconds

I can’t picture that. I can’t picture that sound. You know what? You know what he’s talking about? No. No. No.

40 minutes, 29 seconds

What do you mean?

40 minutes, 29 seconds

I can see it. I can see the eraser breaking off. Yeah. And it’s just the metal.

40 minutes, 35 seconds

Yeah. What are you What are you erasing on? Um, like if you had a piece of paper and say say the eraser is just down to

40 minutes, 42 seconds

where it’s even with the metal and you’re trying to erase something, but the metal is what’s scraping on the paper.

40 minutes, 48 seconds

Oh, that’s not a good Okay, I know what you’re talking about. Hurts my teeth.

40 minutes, 51 seconds

Yeah, I get it. You ever drive home with like a uh a big pack of uh hot dogs?

40 minutes, 58 seconds

Wing them out of the bag on the way home.

41 minutes, 8 seconds

Raw hot dogs, dude. Come on, man. Go ahead, Eric.

41 minutes, 17 seconds

Water bottles up against each other.

41 minutes, 19 seconds

Oh, I had a 32 pack of bottle water. The whole drive home, all the bottles are making Oh, yeah.

41 minutes, 27 seconds

That cheap plasticy sound. Yes, dude.

41 minutes, 30 seconds

Terrible. That and styrofoam. Styrofoam rubbing up against styrofoam is really unpleasant. I don’t like anything moving in the car. Think like when I’m when I’m

41 minutes, 39 seconds

driving thing a bottle rolling around. I don’t like any of that change rattling in the in the middle.

41 minutes, 47 seconds

Your car ever messy and you make a sharp turn. You feel the whole car slide to the side. It’s the worst.

41 minutes, 54 seconds

But it’s such a good feeling when your car’s clean enough. You make a turn and nothing happens in the car. That’s a good feeling. Oh yeah, that’s a good feeling.

42 minutes

Another sound though I hate leaf blowers. Just wanted to bring that back around.

42 minutes, 5 seconds

Is it the sound itself or is it because you know what it’s what it is? It is the sound. Okay.

42 minutes, 11 seconds

If it were quietly blowing those leaves, you wouldn’t care that much. I wouldn’t even bother. Okay.

42 minutes, 16 seconds

But is it is it I’m still Is it the sound or is it because you know what it is? It’s the sound.

42 minutes, 23 seconds

Like just the sound itself.

42 minutes, 24 seconds

It’s just it’s drowning out because you always argue it’s unnecessary. Well, it is.

42 minutes, 29 seconds

And I feel like that’s your problem. And it’s drowning out all the sounds of the birds chirping and and and just the pleasantness of the day.

42 minutes, 39 seconds

But it doesn’t give you a like a hair raising on the back of your neck kind of feeling, right? I bet it does for him.

42 minutes, 47 seconds

Dogs barking.

42 minutes, 49 seconds

I’ll say a dentist drill. The sound of a drill from a dentist. Oh, yeah.

42 minutes, 54 seconds

And when it hits the teeth, you know what I’m talking about? Yeah.

42 minutes, 57 seconds

Everybody, can you hear that? I don’t like it. Well, anyway, thank you, Lori.

43 minutes, 5 seconds

She’s the one who brought it up.

43 minutes, 6 seconds

And Kathy, uh, Steven Gil, I was a senior when 911 happened and had to write a paper in my

43 minutes, 13 seconds

government class about how a 9/11 events made me feel. Sounds like a highle class.

43 minutes, 25 seconds

What kind of class is this? was a senior. Did you write out how it made you feel?

43 minutes, 33 seconds

Didn’t you take a friendship class in college?

43 minutes, 35 seconds

Yeah. Well, that was a that was a seminar.

43 minutes, 37 seconds

Yeah, don’t worry about that.

43 minutes, 40 seconds

First of all, it wasn’t a friendship class. It was a class how to make friends.

43 minutes, 45 seconds

No, it wasn’t a how-to class. It wasn’t like homech for friends. It was uh a seminar on the history of friendship

43 minutes, 52 seconds

from Aristotle to Facebook. So, just want to clear that up. And I want to apologize, Steven Gil. I didn’t mean to

44 minutes, 1 second

insult your feelings class that you took as a senior in high school.

44 minutes, 5 seconds

I expressed how I was upset the activities were canceled like football and then went on how about how I then understood the importance. I received a

44 minutes, 12 seconds

C. I received a C on a paper about how 9/11 made me feel. That’s pretty funny. Sounds pretty difficult, honestly.

44 minutes, 20 seconds

Yeah, that’s really funny.

44 minutes, 22 seconds

That is funny. Sorry Aaron stepped on it, Stephen. I’m sorry, Stephen. I’m just joking around. I’m just joking around.

44 minutes, 28 seconds

Um, who’s your friend that from Opaikica that listens to the podcast? Skeer. Oh, Steven. Uh, bass. Oh, bass gill. Okay.

44 minutes, 36 seconds

Gil is a different fish, I guess. Yeah. Or a part of him. His cousin. Rob Craft.

44 minutes, 43 seconds

You’re thinking of Doug Finn.

44 minutes, 49 seconds

Rob Craft. Bread and Breakfast. Aaron and Bates’s Nick’s tour name. How about that? Yeah, that’s pretty good.

44 minutes, 54 seconds

Yeah, I like that. Breath and breakfast.

45 minutes, 2 seconds

Uh SW Derby. One thing me and Dusty agree on. Bring back the Aaron Weber Lost album. Okay,

45 minutes, 9 seconds

that’s what I’m saying. That’s what I’m saying. It’s a good album. I mean, these are these are the jokes me and Aaron used to work the road with those.

45 minutes, 17 seconds

I heard a song on the radio coming here that you have a joke about, I think, in your current act.

45 minutes, 22 seconds

um that I thought, man, that would be a very funny if you had that animated.

45 minutes, 28 seconds

I don’t want to talk I I thought you maybe didn’t want me to talk about your jokes, but Oh, we’ll just say what the bit’s about. It’s the Gar Brook song. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

45 minutes, 36 seconds

And I was just listening to words, your joke’s very funny, and I thought, boy, if that was animated with what you’re saying, that would be very funny. Yeah. Yeah. You should do it. Thank you.

45 minutes, 44 seconds

You got to get the old man story animated. Yeah. From from the bed and breakfast.

45 minutes, 50 seconds

Yeah. Yeah, I do. Maybe I will.

45 minutes, 55 seconds

People do not understand the importance of sleep sometimes. Bad sleep can ruin your entire day. Then you spend days

46 minutes, 2 seconds

trying to get back on track. If you have a hot mattress and then you’re just sweating trying to cool off.

46 minutes, 11 seconds

Yeah, you looked at me. Come on.

46 minutes, 14 seconds

But you want a blanket to sleep. It’s the worst. Yeah, that’s why Helix has solved all those problems. Yeah, you

46 minutes, 22 seconds

46 minutes, 54 seconds

Uh, well, you know, either way, they probably been doing AI songs for years, I bet. I can tell a huge difference when I am out on the road. I am stuck on all

48 minutes, 5 seconds

Uh, all right. this week. Is there anything else?

48 minutes, 9 seconds

No. Sorry. I don’t know why you need to get I’m ready to go.

48 minutes, 15 seconds

All right. Um, we doing this an hour. Jeez.

48 minutes, 20 seconds

This week, that’s crazy. We are talking about UFOs. All right.

48 minutes, 26 seconds

Now, the government has started releasing batches of videos and documents about UFOs. And they did one

48 minutes, 35 seconds

on May 8th. They did a second one on May 22nd. So if they were doing it every two weeks, that means this Friday they’ll release their third batch.

48 minutes, 43 seconds

Wow. Now, what is the rationale for releasing them in batches like that?

48 minutes, 47 seconds

I don’t know. I don’t know. There’s a lot of them, but are they heavily redacted or there’s a lot of stuff that’s missing

48 minutes, 55 seconds

from these files? I’m just wondering maybe they need time to go through and review what’s confidential and what’s not.

49 minutes, 2 seconds

Maybe. But they also set their own timeline on when to release any of them.

49 minutes, 5 seconds

So, seems like they could have just went through waited until it was all ready. Yeah. I don’t know the reason behind it.

49 minutes, 10 seconds

Maybe they’re testing our reaction to it each week.

49 minutes, 12 seconds

Yeah. Maybe building up, seeing what they can tell us.

49 minutes, 15 seconds

I think it’s pretty well determined that we’re not going to be really outraged about anything ever. Outraged?

49 minutes, 23 seconds

Well, they’ve released a, you know, a lot of stuff. I mean, you know, and then and then now they’re dumping UFO stuff

49 minutes, 30 seconds

and judging our reaction and we’re like you just mean not necessarily angry, but just no matter what they release, we ain’t going to flip out about it.

49 minutes, 38 seconds

By outrage, you mean we’re not going to change the way we live. Yeah.

49 minutes, 41 seconds

For anything based on anything. Yes. Yeah. So, we might as well just, you know. Yeah. Let’s give them UFOs. Let’s give them UFOs.

49 minutes, 49 seconds

Let’s give them some videos that they’ve been able to watch on YouTube for 10 years.

49 minutes, 53 seconds

Yeah. Nate joke about that. I think one of his specials about how they said we had aliens and we just like, “Okay, that’s cool.” And just went on about our business.

50 minutes

That was in 2020 when Yeah. when the world was It’s a lot going on.

50 minutes, 3 seconds

Lot going on then. Yeah. Um, by the way, and if you think the 2002 episode is good, wait till the 2020.

50 minutes, 10 seconds

It’s going to be a while, but we’ll do it.

50 minutes, 12 seconds

I thought I haven’t discussed this with anyone, but I thought maybe we’d go through 2019 and then stop there. 2020 is when the podcast started, so it

50 minutes, 20 seconds

seemed like a good place to start. I’ll be shocked if we get to 2009. But yeah, 2018. 2009.

50 minutes, 26 seconds

Oh, 2009. Well, we got to talk about the financial crash. That’s true. Going to get there. For a long time, my years are the same.

50 minutes, 35 seconds

What does that mean?

50 minutes, 36 seconds

Uh, I’m just That’s a great tease for future episodes. We’re really selling these, aren’t we?

50 minutes, 41 seconds

Yeah. But I mean, they’re exciting, but they’re the I’m doing the same stuff for a long time.

50 minutes, 48 seconds

When would you say things radically changed? What year? 2012. 2012. Okay. So, we got some time. We got some time.

50 minutes, 55 seconds

But we’re going through probably the darkest but most interesting time of your life would be those years.

51 minutes

Yeah. We’re starting that in 2002, but I talk about a lot of that in the book, so I don’t want to give too much away. Oh, come on.

51 minutes, 8 seconds

All right. We’ll do the So, our next episode will have to be after November 10th.

51 minutes, 16 seconds

Well, we could talk, you know, we can get into it. Just, you know, too much. You just won’t finish any stories. Yeah. If you want to hear what happened. Yeah. We’re having a good time.

51 minutes, 25 seconds

And it is a, you know, a familyfriendly podcast. Sure. So, yeah. And the book’s not. No. Okay.

51 minutes, 31 seconds

It’s not, you know, I don’t, but it’s a book.

51 minutes, 33 seconds

You don’t read a lot because don’t read it at bedtime to your children.

51 minutes, 40 seconds

Um, that’s funny. If the stories are all the same, he just puts a lot of four-letter words for no reason.

51 minutes, 48 seconds

That’s my next hour. Yeah. And then go wild.

51 minutes, 51 seconds

Uh anyway, UFOs. Uh third batch should come out this Friday. Uh the the first

51 minutes, 58 seconds

batch was some videos and some documents. The second one was 51 new videos and some others.

52 minutes, 6 seconds

Have you looked in any of this stuff?

52 minutes, 8 seconds

Yeah, I looked at I mean I there’s the website I think I sent you that you can watch them all. I have also just watched news stories about what are the most interesting ones.

52 minutes, 18 seconds

Um because there are so many.

52 minutes, 21 seconds

Um so Dusty, we we give it we know your stance. Aliens are demons.

52 minutes, 26 seconds

But I told you that I was going to Yeah, but I just would You’re going to play You’re going to play along, but we we know that aliens are demons, but for the sake of this, you’re going to be cool.

52 minutes, 36 seconds

Um I don’t think I’ve seen this one. I don’t know what this is. I think that looks like ships coming in.

52 minutes, 44 seconds

It looks like ships and then something just flew by there at the bottom. If you’re listening, we’ll just tell you about it.

52 minutes, 49 seconds

If you go to war.govfo, they’ve got both releases here and then all the files and you can look at everything on there.

52 minutes, 58 seconds

And then I sent you an I think an article of some of the best ones from the most recent batch from the Hollywood Reporter.

53 minutes, 4 seconds

Yeah. Where you get all your UFO government stories. We were virtually speechless.

53 minutes, 11 seconds

Yep. Somebody said that. So, um, there there’s so much interest now in

53 minutes, 20 seconds

UFOs and with these files being released that some of these prediction markets now have odds that you can bet on when

53 minutes, 28 seconds

the government is going to officially announce that we we’ve made contact with or we’ve something that proves that

53 minutes, 35 seconds

there’s life on, you know, on other planets that have come here.

53 minutes, 38 seconds

Wow. Did you place a bet? No, I I I think I sent you a link to one where you can go on there and um the prediction markets here poly market

53 minutes, 47 seconds

will the US confirm the aliens exist by and then by December 31st of this year they they have it at a 16% chance.

53 minutes, 56 seconds

This way you can waste time and money. Uh that’s pretty crazy, right?

54 minutes, 5 seconds

16% chance. Is that probably the highest ever that it’s been? Yeah, it’s got to be right.

54 minutes, 10 seconds

And uh you know, I think they call it You okay, Dusty? Yeah. Yeah.

54 minutes, 16 seconds

Uh I got too wrapped up. Dusty was choking himself over there.

54 minutes, 23 seconds

They call it Disclosure Day. And ironically, Steven Spielberg has a movie coming out next weekend called Disclosure Day. Whoa. How about that?

54 minutes, 31 seconds

You think they’re in CS?

54 minutes, 32 seconds

You think they’re going to announce it on that day to market movie? Yeah. So, got to beat those obsession numbers.

54 minutes, 43 seconds

Um, but I mean Erin, I I know Dusty Sat would do you care about this at all? Do you get into Yeah, I’m very interested in it for sure.

54 minutes, 51 seconds

You guys do think about them though as space aliens.

54 minutes, 55 seconds

I don’t know what to think about those videos. It could be so many things cuz when they zip around real fast, it’s like obviously we don’t have anything

55 minutes, 3 seconds

that can do that, right?

55 minutes, 5 seconds

Well, let me ask you, do you believe those videos? Yeah. Yeah. You’re being cool, right? Yeah.

55 minutes, 11 seconds

You know, I mean, you know, I believe the video that there’s something in there.

55 minutes, 16 seconds

There’s one that was released in the second batch where it’s already moving fast and then all of a sudden it just zips off so fast you can just barely

55 minutes, 23 seconds

even see it go. And what about growing up? Were you uh Yeah. Were you into this growing up?

55 minutes, 31 seconds

Yeah. I’ve always been interested in aliens. And what about you, Aaron? UFOs. Very into space. Yep.

55 minutes, 37 seconds

And I think like every kid for a certain stretch there, you thought you were going to be an astronaut, right?

55 minutes, 43 seconds

Yeah. I did was very into UFOs as a kid.

55 minutes, 47 seconds

Okay. Yeah. A lot of people just assume, you being you, that you think you’ve been abducted by al aliens and Bigfoot

55 minutes, 54 seconds

was on the ship, but you’re not into any of that.

55 minutes, 57 seconds

No, I mean, I think you probably could be abducted, but it would be, you know.

56 minutes, 1 second

Yeah. It wouldn’t be people from outer space. Yeah. Okay. I think they can get you.

56 minutes, 9 seconds

But yes, I was really into it. Um any like unsolved mysteries about UFOs or any books I could I was really into it

56 minutes, 18 seconds

and trying to figure out what it was cuz you know they say Alistister Crowley the father of Satanism says he uh remember you’re going to be cool Dustin.

56 minutes, 27 seconds

I am going to be cool but I’m just you know I’m just going to Yeah. They said he opened a portal. He he claimed to have opened a portal to another

56 minutes, 34 seconds

dimension and then in walked a demon that he called Lamb. L A M. Okay.

56 minutes, 42 seconds

And his wife drew a picture of Lamb. And Lamb looks like the gray aliens that we that we Oh, okay. So, his wife saw it, too.

56 minutes, 53 seconds

Yeah. Uh-huh. And when was that? Why did he do that?

56 minutes, 58 seconds

Well, he’s, you know, he wanted to make some contact. What a mean thing to I know, but I I close the porn.

57 minutes, 4 seconds

I think there is something to that like that he knew how to open it but didn’t know how to close it and didn’t really know what he was getting himself into. Yeah. Yeah.

57 minutes, 11 seconds

Do you know when that happened? When that was supposed to happen? I don’t know. Maybe the 60s. Okay. So, not that long ago. Yeah. Huh. He was able Okay.

57 minutes, 20 seconds

I’m just making a guess there. Yeah.

57 minutes, 21 seconds

And we know I can be way off on my guesses. Yeah. 200,000 years ago.

57 minutes, 37 seconds

So, Aaron, uh, do you think there is life out there? Sure. Yeah. Yeah.

57 minutes, 45 seconds

Almost no question. Once you kind of wrap your head around how big the universe is. Yeah.

57 minutes, 51 seconds

The odd the the Yeah. There’s something else out there for sure. I don’t I don’t know if they’ve made contact with us. I don’t know how to make sense of all this stuff

57 minutes, 59 seconds

the government’s given us. But yeah, dude, there’s other stuff out there for sure. Does it Oh, go ahead.

58 minutes, 4 seconds

Do you think they look like the tall gray aliens, though? Because it feels like so many people are always talking about how that’s what they see.

58 minutes, 11 seconds

I don’t I don’t know. I don’t even think they’re probably not even They might not even have physical bodies. They might

58 minutes, 18 seconds

not be carbon based life forms. They might be something completely different that we can even wrap our heads around.

58 minutes, 23 seconds

Why do you think people So many people report seeing those kind? I sent you another link where they supposedly there’s four types that we’ve come in contact with.

58 minutes, 32 seconds

I like that.

58 minutes, 33 seconds

And u it even shows a little little pictures picture of them if if that’ll it’ll load here this graphic right here.

58 minutes, 40 seconds

So these are the four most reported alien beings. And some guy in this article says like I forgot his title but

58 minutes, 49 seconds

he says that we’ve either been in contact or have the mantis is what people see when they do um Iawasa.

58 minutes, 58 seconds

Okay.

58 minutes, 59 seconds

They always say they see Okay. So that explains that one.

59 minutes, 1 second

And the mantis looks like a giant praying mantis.

59 minutes, 3 seconds

Yeah. Height six to seven feet. Highly agile. Excellent eyesight with telepathic abilities.

59 minutes, 9 seconds

Reptilians. A lot of people think reptilians live amongst us. They are shape shifters. A lot of people do. Don’t they?

59 minutes, 15 seconds

Yeah. And they uh So they could be I’d say one in three people think that

59 minutes, 22 seconds

they could be anywhere all the time. Uh the Nordic uh Yeah, I’ve heard that before, too. Um but Nordic just look like human people.

59 minutes, 31 seconds

Yeah. Just tall though. 8 foot.

59 minutes, 33 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. Humanike appearance, advanced intelligence, peaceful nature, highly advanced society. But the giants

59 minutes, 41 seconds

like that that like Native Americans would talk about. So you were redheaded giants. Uhhuh. Six fingers, six toes.

59 minutes, 49 seconds

So I two layers of teeth.

59 minutes, 51 seconds

And then the grays are the ones we most often think about and see. Yeah.

59 minutes, 55 seconds

Describe. I just feel like if they’re coming from billions of miles away, which they would have to be mo most likely, right?

1 hour, 3 seconds

Yeah.

1 hour, 4 seconds

It just seems like they would be sending some type of AI, a robot or some type of non That’s what I mean is some kind of

1 hour, 12 seconds

consciousness that’s been downloaded onto something. Yeah.

1 hour, 15 seconds

Can’t be like a carbon based light life form.

1 hour, 18 seconds

And why are so many of them, if they’re that advanced, crashing once they get here?

1 hour, 22 seconds

Do they not have brakes and you’re like, “Oh, shoot. We didn’t think this through.” Cuz supposedly they’re crashing everywhere and everybody has access to

1 hour, 29 seconds

Yeah. I forgot to fill up with gas or whatever’s going on.

1 hour, 33 seconds

Yeah. Maybe there wasn’t uh a fuel source. Mhm.

1 hour, 38 seconds

I just feel like if they’re that advanced, they’re not going to like kind of let us see them.

1 hour, 43 seconds

Maybe they don’t have gravity on their planet, so they get in here. Gravity sucks them down. Mhm.

1 hour, 52 seconds

I’m being cool, guys. No, I I get it. I’m being cool.

1 hour, 56 seconds

He’s sweating over there because he wants to let loose, but he’s trying.

1 hour, 1 minute, 1 second

He is really trying. Maybe they don’t have gravity on their planet.

1 hour, 1 minute, 4 seconds

Yeah, wherever they’re from, maybe it’s a hollow planet where they live inside of it. Maybe. Maybe. It’s a good point.

1 hour, 1 minute, 12 seconds

Some people think Earth is hollow. Some people do think that. You ever see the King Kong movie? Yeah.

1 hour, 1 minute, 18 seconds

Where they like kind of went inside of the Earth. Kind of like Middle Earth. Yeah. Yeah. It’s pretty wild.

1 hour, 1 minute, 23 seconds

What King Kong movie was the one with Jack Black?

1 hour, 1 minute, 26 seconds

No, this one of the more recent ones where King Kong and and Godzilla.

1 hour, 1 minute, 31 seconds

Okay. I don’t know cuz he comes up like in Tokyo, remember?

1 hour, 1 minute, 36 seconds

He goes underneath in like Antarctica, comes up in Tokyo, fights Godzilla, and then they team up to fight the more advanced Godzilla.

1 hour, 1 minute, 43 seconds

Oh, yeah. It’s based on true story. All right. I believe it. I believe it. Loosely. Yeah. But it is.

1 hour, 1 minute, 51 seconds

All right. Since Dusty’s wanting to let loose over there, I’m being cool guy.

1 hour, 1 minute, 56 seconds

He is. He’s being He’s being very cool. But I’m going to try to I need your expertise on this.

1 hour, 2 minutes

So, there’s this conspiracy theory that scientists are disappearing out there uh because of their connections to maybe UFOs or anti-gravity or stuff like that.

1 hour, 2 minutes, 10 seconds

And I wanted to find out from you to see what’s really going on.

1 hour, 2 minutes, 13 seconds

Well, scientists are always disappearing. Anytime they uh you know come out with some truth, they go, “Oh

1 hour, 2 minutes, 19 seconds

god, they died.” And and shot himself in the back of the head.

1 hour, 2 minutes, 24 seconds

Yeah, it happens a lot. Um, so you know, I don’t know, but I’m guessing these guys just, you know, they died of natural causes and uh maybe due to some

1 hour, 2 minutes, 33 seconds

connection with UFOs, they UFOs maybe implanted something in them.

1 hour, 2 minutes, 38 seconds

So, do you think the UFOs came and got them or do you think the government got them because they knew too much? Well, that’s tough.

1 hour, 2 minutes, 44 seconds

If you’re listening, Dusty raised his hands up.

1 hour, 2 minutes, 48 seconds

That’s tough to say, you know. Who knows, right? But it is anytime at least 10 people tied to sensitive US research

1 hour, 2 minutes, 56 seconds

have died or disappeared. But they say recent years. How recent? You know, talking two years.

1 hour, 3 minutes, 4 seconds

I looked on Wikipedia because there’s a a link to it. It’s been a few years that they’re talking about I’d like to know their research.

1 hour, 3 minutes, 13 seconds

Uh I mean it shows on the list when they disappeared what their research was. Mhm.

1 hour, 3 minutes, 17 seconds

Um, a lot of gravity related. Yeah, we got an anti-gravity enthusiast.

1 hour, 3 minutes, 24 seconds

Uh, founder of AC gravity, an anti-gravity scientist. Yeah. Uh, a planetary scientist.

1 hour, 3 minutes, 31 seconds

See, that guy died of Alzheimer’s. So, that one’s tough to say. Um, that you know that that’s what they’re telling us. Okay.

1 hour, 3 minutes, 39 seconds

What about all these disappear people disappear?

1 hour, 3 minutes, 42 seconds

Yeah. I mean, that’s just went walking in the woods and disappears. You know, they say in our uh national parks, lots of people go missing every year.

1 hour, 3 minutes, 51 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. And are never found. Yeah. That’s crazy.

1 hour, 3 minutes, 55 seconds

But I mean, it’s thousands and thousands of acres, so I guess you could see how that’s a lot of land.

1 hour, 4 minutes

Possible lot of land. This episode is brought to you by IQ Bar, our exclusive snack, hydration, and coffee sponsor. IQ

1 hour, 5 minutes, 33 seconds

But what if they were what if you know they were hiding? What if what if like you ever see um No.

1 hour, 5 minutes, 38 seconds

What are these movie uh one of these uh uh sci-fi movies where they’re I think Michael Keaton is in it maybe. Shark NATO.

1 hour, 5 minutes, 45 seconds

No, it’s No, no. But where they they uh they they invent like a gate or they can uh the portal movies.

1 hour, 5 minutes, 53 seconds

Yeah. like uh I was trying to think with Michael Keaton Steen King. Forget Michael Keaton. Okay.

1 hour, 5 minutes, 59 seconds

It’s uh they they uh you know they they have this portal where they can go to others. Okay.

1 hour, 6 minutes, 5 seconds

And um I don’t know. You know, I’m just saying. So maybe that’s a thing. A lot of people think CERN is that sort of thing. Yeah. You know.

1 hour, 6 minutes, 13 seconds

Mhm. CERN is uh I forgot what that stood for. Do you know?

1 hour, 6 minutes, 19 seconds

No, I have no idea what we’re talking about. What is CERN? C R You don’t know that sci-fi movie though. It’s uh I think you got me confused when you said Michael.

1 hour, 6 minutes, 28 seconds

I know. I say forget Michael Ke.

1 hour, 6 minutes, 29 seconds

I’m trying. I just keep thinking about Mr. Mom you’re talking about. Is it called Portal or Doors?

1 hour, 6 minutes, 34 seconds

It’s not called Portal or Doors. It’s uh like a gate. It’s a Sci-Fi Network original movie.

1 hour, 6 minutes, 40 seconds

They say if you’re going through a portal car door like this movie and it’ll suck you right now. Mhm. I don’t know.

1 hour, 6 minutes, 48 seconds

Sci-fi movie gate. Don’t do portal. do gate. Stargate.

1 hour, 6 minutes, 54 seconds

Yes. There we go. Come on, guys. Jeez.

1 hour, 6 minutes, 58 seconds

And uh it’s a pretty popular movie, I think.

1 hour, 7 minutes, 1 second

Yep. I was working at the video store when that came out.

1 hour, 7 minutes, 3 seconds

Yeah. And that you know, they got that kind. Who’s the Who’s the main guy in that?

1 hour, 7 minutes, 7 seconds

The main guy in the movie. The movie or the TV show? The movie. It’s uh Kurt Russell.

1 hour, 7 minutes, 13 seconds

Kurt Russell. Easily confused with Michael Keem.

1 hour, 7 minutes, 19 seconds

Mhm. They’re about the same age. Yeah, I get it. Easy mistake to make.

1 hour, 7 minutes, 23 seconds

All right. So, you guys have never seen that one. I saw it, but it’s 30 years ago. Came out in 1994.

1 hour, 7 minutes, 30 seconds

So, I just don’t remember that much about it. But, yeah. What’s your favorite UFO alien movie? Signs was a big one for me.

1 hour, 7 minutes, 40 seconds

I just watch.

1 hour, 7 minutes, 40 seconds

It’s a really, really great movie, I think.

1 hour, 7 minutes, 42 seconds

Really great. Um, and that’s kind of how I think about aliens is how they’re depicted in that movie still cuz I saw it at the age where it it just imprinted itself on me.

1 hour, 7 minutes, 52 seconds

But see where it walks by.

1 hour, 7 minutes, 53 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. When walking Phoenix is watching Mexican news. Yeah. And it’s behind and then it walks out. Yeah. It terrified me as a kid.

1 hour, 8 minutes, 1 second

Yeah.

1 hour, 8 minutes, 2 seconds

I liked it. I like um I like Guardians of the Galaxy.

1 hour, 8 minutes, 7 seconds

I mean that is a great movie. It’s just funny that that’s your UFO alien movie.

1 hour, 8 minutes, 10 seconds

I don’t believe I don’t like superpowers and stuff like that. Makes me It makes me uncomfortable. Yeah.

1 hour, 8 minutes, 17 seconds

I see when that movie came out, I feel like there was already all this might Shyamalan hate. So Stargate’s very good.

1 hour, 8 minutes, 23 seconds

I feel like it got kind of lampooned, didn’t it?

1 hour, 8 minutes, 26 seconds

Not yet. I don’t think I don’t think the tide had turned on him yet. I mean, I’m sure it got some hate, but yeah, he hadn’t become a punchline the way that he is now.

1 hour, 8 minutes, 35 seconds

Independence Day.

1 hour, 8 minutes, 36 seconds

That’s the first one I think of. That’s a good one. Yeah, that’s where it’s at.

1 hour, 8 minutes, 40 seconds

It was a little before my time, so I kind of missed the the wave of it. So, it wasn’t as informative as science was.

1 hour, 8 minutes, 46 seconds

Jeff Goldblum, Will Smith at their best, man. Welcome to Earth. Yeah, it’s the best.

1 hour, 8 minutes, 53 seconds

Uh, I think my favorite one, which you’ve already said on this on a previous podcast that you were bored with, it was Contact.

1 hour, 9 minutes, 1 second

Contact.

1 hour, 9 minutes, 2 seconds

I was bored with that one. Is that Amy Adams?

1 hour, 9 minutes, 4 seconds

No, that’s uh Arrival. That’s another good one. I was bored with that one for sure.

1 hour, 9 minutes, 8 seconds

Rival’s good, too. But Contact Maybe Contact Foster.

1 hour, 9 minutes, 13 seconds

Yeah, I think I was bored with that one, too. Have you seen Aaron? No.

1 hour, 9 minutes, 17 seconds

I think you’d like it because it’s, you know, use your brain.

1 hour, 9 minutes, 21 seconds

Is it about trying to communicate with Yeah.

1 hour, 9 minutes, 24 seconds

I felt like an insult some for some reason, but to me? Yeah. To to Best Dusty.

1 hour, 9 minutes, 28 seconds

Oh, okay. It’s uh she works for I mean she’s yeah she’s a scientist and they got all the satellites out there like SETI trying and she finally hears a signal from outer space.

1 hour, 9 minutes, 39 seconds

Oh yeah, I do remember that. I was like, “Oh, get on with it.

1 hour, 9 minutes, 44 seconds

Get on with it.” And they get it and then they realize there’s a video signal that connected to

1 hour, 9 minutes, 50 seconds

it and and it’s Hitler opening the 1940 whatever Olympic Games and they’re like, “Oh boy.” And then they realized that

1 hour, 9 minutes, 59 seconds

was the first signal that was strong enough to leave our atmosphere out of space, right? And it was them sending it back to us, just letting us know we received it.

1 hour, 10 minutes, 7 seconds

WA I’m I’m into the premise of that. That sounds amazing.

1 hour, 10 minutes, 11 seconds

It It’s Yeah, I mean, give it a watch and report back. Let me know. It’s just a It’s very slow moving and I

1 hour, 10 minutes, 18 seconds

I think Carl Sean maybe wrote it or had some influence on. Have you ever showed a movie to somebody that you thought was good and then it it kind of bombs with whoever you’re showing it to?

1 hour, 10 minutes, 29 seconds

Yeah, I mean I talked for um you know um hours to my nephew about Rocky and uh he’s 10 years younger than me. He’s not that much younger than me.

1 hour, 10 minutes, 38 seconds

Oh, he’s an adult and he’s my age. He he fell asleep pretty early on. What time of night did you start it?

1 hour, 10 minutes, 46 seconds

Not that late. Okay. Okay. I mean it was night time.

1 hour, 10 minutes, 49 seconds

Yeah. Yeah. It wasn’t 2:00 in the morning. He fell asleep and it’s like it wasn’t enough flashing for him. I guess you got to you got to like really be

1 hour, 10 minutes, 57 seconds

into it, but it’s a very smart emotional movie. Yeah. It’s not just a fluff kind of. It’s a real film. It’s a real film.

1 hour, 11 minutes, 4 seconds

It’s got real heart to it. Yeah. There’s real characters.

1 hour, 11 minutes, 7 seconds

I know. He’s like I don’t know. It feels bad, doesn’t it? Yeah, it does. You have that, Brian? Yeah. Uh plenty.

1 hour, 11 minutes, 15 seconds

I was trying to think of a good example of one that I recommend. I’ve had plenty where people have recommended to me and it just did not work for me.

1 hour, 11 minutes, 22 seconds

What’s a couple of examples?

1 hour, 11 minutes, 24 seconds

There’s uh and I think these were movies that I would have enjoyed when I was a kid, but I didn’t see them until I was I didn’t see The Goonies until 2020 during

1 hour, 11 minutes, 31 seconds

the pandemic and it just doesn’t work for me as an adult.

1 hour, 11 minutes, 36 seconds

Yeah. You had to have seen it as a kid, I think. And now Yeah.

1 hour, 11 minutes, 40 seconds

And then I’m surprised you missed that one the first time around.

1 hour, 11 minutes, 44 seconds

There was a lot of movies I missed as a kid just because we didn’t have access.

1 hour, 11 minutes, 48 seconds

I mean, I was only the first of my mom driving us to the theater and then it was like when was out of the theaters, it’s just gone.

1 hour, 11 minutes, 54 seconds

It’s gone, right? Yeah. That’s crazy to think about.

1 hour, 11 minutes, 57 seconds

Till two years later, if they if it comes on TV, we watched a bunch of movies this weekend and we started talking about uh we’re watching Ben Stiller movies.

1 hour, 12 minutes, 6 seconds

Yeah.

1 hour, 12 minutes, 6 seconds

We started talking about Heavyweights and I was like, “God, Heavyweights is so great.” And Nate hadn’t seen it and like Julian hadn’t seen it. Nick, nobody had

1 hour, 12 minutes, 14 seconds

seen this movie except me, Noah Stroop, who does the photography and videography and uh and that might have been it.

1 hour, 12 minutes, 24 seconds

We were like, “Oh, this movie is so good, dude. We’re going to watch it.” And we watch it and yeah, I would never do that.

1 hour, 12 minutes, 30 seconds

After like 30 minutes, I was like, “Gosh, this movie is longer than I remembered it being, you know?” And then the laughs start, nobody’s laughing anymore. And then finally, I was like,

1 hour, 12 minutes, 38 seconds

“I just want to turn it off.” We didn’t finish the movie. Ah, that hurts.

1 hour, 12 minutes, 42 seconds

It I mean, it is very funny in some parts, but you’re like, man, this is a kids movie.

1 hour, 12 minutes, 46 seconds

Oh, and then when I watch it now, I I’m like watching it like I’m the kid I was when I first saw it, you know, and it just doesn’t hold up.

1 hour, 12 minutes, 55 seconds

It’s just a little It’s a little embarrassing. You know, there’s some 80s movies that uh you know, I just watched Ferris Spieler’s Day Off and I still love it, but there’s

1 hour, 13 minutes, 4 seconds

some stuff in it that you ever hear the theory about that movie that Ferris Beer’s Day Off is like

1 hour, 13 minutes, 11 seconds

uh a like like Ferris Buer is living a Groundhog Day type day and that the reason everything went perfectly

1 hour, 13 minutes, 20 seconds

throughout the day is because he’s lived this day so many times already. No, I haven’t heard that. No, that’s it.

1 hour, 13 minutes, 26 seconds

Yeah, that’s got to be true. I just remember thinking that’s an incredibly long day.

1 hour, 13 minutes, 30 seconds

Yeah, he does every He goes to a Cubs game. That’s a whole day.

1 hour, 13 minutes, 34 seconds

So in in Groundhog Day, you know, hit me. They speculate that this was years that he lived this day

1 hour, 13 minutes, 41 seconds

and that it went on apparently. I think it was a book or maybe the original manuscript got a little darker than uh and so you think about Ferris Buer. I mean, he’s just nailing it all day.

1 hour, 13 minutes, 52 seconds

Yeah. Yeah.

1 hour, 13 minutes, 53 seconds

So, he also might just rule. He’s just the I don’t think so. Okay.

1 hour, 13 minutes, 58 seconds

Because Oh, you think it is Groundhog’s Day?

1 hour, 14 minutes

He’s got Yeah, because what else did that guy do? Um, what’s his name? Matthew Broadick. Yeah. I mean, he killed a guy.

1 hour, 14 minutes, 8 seconds

He did do that.

1 hour, 14 minutes, 9 seconds

And uh And he’s in the producers.

1 hour, 14 minutes, 13 seconds

So, what did he kill a guy in in like another country? Vehicular incident. Oh, like a real one. Yeah. Yeah. The actor kills.

1 hour, 14 minutes, 20 seconds

I can’t tell when you guys are going from movies to real life. We’re jumping around here. I’m sorry.

1 hour, 14 minutes, 24 seconds

Like, it’s like Groundhog Day. Hey, what else did that guy do? I’m like, are you talking about? Okay, so did Laura Bush. It’s brutal.

1 hour, 14 minutes, 32 seconds

Okay, this is a comedy podcast if anyone’s listening for the first time.

1 hour, 14 minutes, 37 seconds

You know, another movie that’s really long. It’s a great movie, but boy, really long day when you think about it is uh Training Day.

1 hour, 14 minutes, 44 seconds

Training Day is great. That’s all one day, huh? Yeah. They start Yeah.

1 hour, 14 minutes, 47 seconds

early in the morning and it’s not training days, right? Yeah. Exactly.

1 hour, 14 minutes, 54 seconds

I uh I heard I don’t know if this is true or not. You’re talking about movies starting off slowly. Any action movie

1 hour, 15 minutes, 1 second

you see now, you kind of know the formula. It’s going to start off with a action scene to establish the characters

1 hour, 15 minutes, 9 seconds

before it gets into the main story line, right? Sure.

1 hour, 15 minutes, 12 seconds

I heard that Raiders of the Lost Arc was the first movie to ever do that. The opening scene, he’s, you know, in the cave getting the thing. It’s an

1 hour, 15 minutes, 20 seconds

incredible scene. Then it starts the story. Wow.

1 hour, 15 minutes, 23 seconds

And it but it gets your attention and gets you hooked in. They created the formula. Makes sense.

1 hour, 15 minutes, 28 seconds

And also you wanna you kind of want to know what your what your action hero can do. Yeah.

1 hour, 15 minutes, 35 seconds

But at the same time, sometimes it’s nice that that buildup of where you’re like, I don’t know what he’s going to

1 hour, 15 minutes, 42 seconds

capable capable of and then suddenly you see that’s what made uh 310 to Yuma so good because you’re waiting on the

1 hour, 15 minutes, 52 seconds

Christian Bale character to be this secret hero. Mhm.

1 hour, 15 minutes, 56 seconds

Christian Bell is a hero, Dusty. Well, in the movie I’m talking you’re waiting for him to be this secret hero and then he reveals to you that he’s not. So,

1 hour, 16 minutes, 5 seconds

it’s a let down in a way, but it’s like I don’t think I was feeling that. You thought he was really going to be a sharpshooter that just hadn’t Yeah.

1 hour, 16 minutes, 14 seconds

No, I didn’t think that at all. I think everyone did except for you. Can I do a counter argument? Yeah, go ahead.

1 hour, 16 minutes, 21 seconds

I think you’re the only one who thought that in the history of the earth. Let’s do a poll. Yeah. Let’s get some comments, find out. Yeah.

1 hour, 16 minutes, 29 seconds

Did you think that 310 to Brian? Let’s see.

1 hour, 16 minutes, 33 seconds

I Because I think that was the whole crux. That was the whole moment you because Christian Bale, his character was able to survive where all these

1 hour, 16 minutes, 41 seconds

other men went down and now it’s just the two of them. And he’s like, I’m getting you to that train. And he, you know, he’s been injured. He’s lost his leg. You know, he’s been injured in war.

1 hour, 16 minutes, 52 seconds

Next time we see him at the airport, we’re going to ask him. But then he says, you know, I ain’t no hero. Yeah. Right.

1 hour, 16 minutes, 59 seconds

Revealing to um whoever the other guy is.

1 hour, 17 minutes, 4 seconds

So you thought it was going to be like a superhero movie where at the end he comes out.

1 hour, 17 minutes, 8 seconds

Well, not a superhero, but like a western where you you you realize, oh, this guy was just holding back the whole time.

1 hour, 17 minutes, 14 seconds

A lot of westerns are like that. I think you’ve not seen enough westerns and that’s why you weren’t feeling that. Yeah. Brian, take a take a lap.

1 hour, 17 minutes, 21 seconds

Um, Unforgiven’s kind of like that.

1 hour, 17 minutes, 26 seconds

Yeah, but they set him up to kind of be like that. All right. Well, we’ll just have to agree that Dusty’s dumb.

1 hour, 17 minutes, 33 seconds

Well, or we take a poll. Yeah. Let’s take a poll.

1 hour, 17 minutes, 37 seconds

All right. What about this? Since this is about UFOs, the movie uh League of Their Own.

1 hour, 17 minutes, 41 seconds

Um, have you seen The League of Their Own? Sure have. There’s no crying in baseball. The ending scene. Okay. Pay at the play at the plate.

1 hour, 17 minutes, 51 seconds

Uh, Gina Davis, the ball comes out. Did she do that on purpose?

1 hour, 17 minutes, 55 seconds

I think she did it on purpose. Now, is there a right answer to this?

1 hour, 17 minutes, 58 seconds

I don’t think so because I’ve tried to look. Okay.

1 hour, 18 minutes

To me, that would defeat the whole purpose of her sister doing something heroic if she did it for her. I think she was happy for her sister cuz her

1 hour, 18 minutes, 9 seconds

sister made the play and knocked the ball out.

1 hour, 18 minutes, 12 seconds

I think she I think she let her let her score, Dusty. She wasn’t She wasn’t interested. I think she let her score, too.

1 hour, 18 minutes, 19 seconds

Yeah. She didn’t care about baseball as much as her sister and she wanted and she knew that her sister she wanted to go back to her. She knew that her sister needed it. Yeah. And she knew she was leaving it.

1 hour, 18 minutes, 28 seconds

She didn’t need it. She had her husband.

1 hour, 18 minutes, 29 seconds

So what would what point would it have been for her to hang on to the ball unless her sister just knocked it out and her sister was clearly not as athletic as she was?

1 hour, 18 minutes, 37 seconds

I think she I think Gina Davis was competitive and it was the championship and she would have wanted to win and not let her sister win.

1 hour, 18 minutes, 46 seconds

She already had her own life that she wanted. Okay.

1 hour, 18 minutes, 50 seconds

And if her sister doesn’t knock the ball out, her sister’s probably out of the league. And Gina goes back to her husband. Now she’s got to support her

1 hour, 18 minutes, 58 seconds

sister who doesn’t have a job. And she goes, “If you could just just let the ball go, I’d have a career right now.” But instead, she’s living in the guest room.

1 hour, 19 minutes, 7 seconds

Uhhuh. She thought about all this. Well, she’s trying to start a family. Yeah. Exactly.

1 hour, 19 minutes, 13 seconds

All right. Well, we cleared some stuff up.

1 hour, 19 minutes, 14 seconds

Yeah. You ever notice how being an adult basically means you’re just carrying around some kind of emergency energy source? Think about it. You got coffee,

1 hour, 19 minutes, 23 seconds

energy drinks, your phone needs a charger. It’s like in one way or another, you’re always running out of fuel. I started noticing how much coffee

1 hour, 19 minutes, 31 seconds

and energy drinks I would drink. They would just make me anxious and nervous and just and that’s why I started using

1 hour, 19 minutes, 38 seconds

ultra pouches. They are a complete gamecher. I tried Ultra when we were on the cruise in February and I love it

1 hour, 19 minutes, 45 seconds

now. They’re they’re nicotine free and caffeine free, which sounds confusing cuz you’re like, “Well, then what’s the benefit of this? Those are two of my

1 hour, 19 minutes, 53 seconds

favorite things in the world.” Well, they use neutropics and adaptogens that help with focus and smooth energy without that jittery feeling. All of the

1 hour, 20 minutes, 1 second

benefits, none of the downside. They’ve got ingredients like alpha, GPC, B vitamins, smart person, science stuff that we can’t articulate on this

1 hour, 20 minutes, 10 seconds

podcast, but all I know is I feel focused, calm, and I’m not crashing halfway through the day. I used to fall asleep about 10 minutes into every podcast. Yeah, I remember.

1 hour, 20 minutes, 18 seconds

Not anymore. My favorite players uh favorite flavor probably watermelon.

1 hour, 20 minutes, 23 seconds

Tastes like fancy gas station candy. You know what I’m talking about?

1 hour, 20 minutes, 27 seconds

The good stuff. They got four other flavors, too. Cool Mint, Wintergreen, Tropical, and Blue Raz Ultra is the

1 hour, 20 minutes, 34 seconds

ultimate guiltfree pouch delivering instant focus and mental clarity without nicotine or caffeine. New customers can

1 hour, 21 minutes, 1 second

Get your take on them. Uh the movie Alien. Mhm. Never saw it. I haven’t seen it.

1 hour, 21 minutes, 10 seconds

Too scary for me when I was a kid. And there’s numerous numerous sequels. Yeah. It’s the whole franchise.

1 hour, 21 minutes, 16 seconds

I have seen Prometheus, which is weird to watch out of order like that, I guess. But wasn’t into it.

1 hour, 21 minutes, 22 seconds

Yeah. Prometheus. That was weird, was it? Yeah.

1 hour, 21 minutes, 25 seconds

uh arrival, which we’ve already talked about, Amy Adams, she’s like a uh

1 hour, 21 minutes, 33 seconds

her job is like an aiologist or she communicates.

1 hour, 21 minutes, 37 seconds

She knows how to communicate really well.

1 hour, 21 minutes, 40 seconds

So, let me ask you the question. We get asked all it’s always asked when this is talked about, but I’m curious your thoughts. Aliens invade. Yeah.

1 hour, 21 minutes, 48 seconds

We need an ambassador for the human race. Yeah. Who do we send out there?

1 hour, 21 minutes, 53 seconds

Yeah, we talked about that on previous episodes uh of this podcast. Not of this podcast. Yeah.

1 hour, 22 minutes

And I’d like to hear your thoughts. Who do you send out? I mean, the real answer is some faceless science, some scientist that nobody knows. But that’s a boring answer.

1 hour, 22 minutes, 8 seconds

I don’t think that’s the real answer. Well, who would you send?

1 hour, 22 minutes, 11 seconds

I think you send a preacher to do what?

1 hour, 22 minutes, 15 seconds

To talk to them. They’re great communicators and they could throw a little holy water on them and go ahead and end that situation right away.

1 hour, 22 minutes, 27 seconds

Can we come back to that and make Do I Let’s say we choose Dusty.

1 hour, 22 minutes, 32 seconds

Yeah. Okay. First, Dusty, what’s the first question you ask? What are you doing here?

1 hour, 22 minutes, 39 seconds

Now, let’s say they can speak English. Yeah.

1 hour, 22 minutes, 41 seconds

Now, okay. And they say, “We’re here. We just want to get to know you. We just want to see what you got going on.

1 hour, 22 minutes, 45 seconds

I’ll say, “Well, cool. I’d like to talk to you about Jesus.” Okay.

1 hour, 22 minutes, 50 seconds

And then if they say, “Okay.” Then I go, “All right, maybe you are from space.”

1 hour, 22 minutes, 58 seconds

What if they said, “We’d like to smoke a cigar with you.” I go, “Did you bring some from space?”

1 hour, 23 minutes, 5 seconds

Cuz I’m all out. But okay. Well, yeah. I wouldn’t mind having a cigar with an with an alien just to chat about just chat about some stuff.

1 hour, 23 minutes, 14 seconds

Which one of those four would you choose?

1 hour, 23 minutes, 16 seconds

Uh well, I’d go the Nordic guy cuz you know he looks pretty normal.

1 hour, 23 minutes, 22 seconds

What? You just hang out with a normal looking guy for sure from space. Yeah. I wouldn’t never hang out with the reptilian. Not

1 hour, 23 minutes, 29 seconds

on purpose. They could be shapeshifted into some other They could be in this room right now. Yeah.

1 hour, 23 minutes, 34 seconds

The gray too scary. The big eyes uh too scary. And then uh I I don’t want I’m afraid of a praying mantis when it’s small.

1 hour, 23 minutes, 43 seconds

Yeah.

1 hour, 23 minutes, 43 seconds

What if they wore your merch, would you be on board then?

1 hour, 23 minutes, 47 seconds

Well, you’re telling me if they landed out of space and they were wearing a We’re having a good time t-shirt. Yeah. I mean, you would. That would change.

1 hour, 23 minutes, 55 seconds

Wet heat really took off on Zyborg. What? You’re like, I love these guys.

1 hour, 24 minutes

You’re the most famous person on our planet. Dustin is listen flattery. It’s hard to, you know, if you’re getting flattered, it’s hard to I would just hope they wouldn’t be doing that.

1 hour, 24 minutes, 9 seconds

Hard to stay mad at somebody. They compliment you a bunch.

1 hour, 24 minutes, 13 seconds

Like, oh, you guys, they might know how to manipulate us.

1 hour, 24 minutes, 16 seconds

You guys come on in. Get some of our resources.

1 hour, 24 minutes, 18 seconds

Well, what about you? What would you say?

1 hour, 24 minutes, 20 seconds

Uh, I don’t I mean, maybe you send you send some kind of uh some kind of wellintentioned scientist guy.

1 hour, 24 minutes, 32 seconds

Not not No. Fouchy. Yeah, we’ll send Fouchy out there.

1 hour, 24 minutes, 41 seconds

These are the only scientists I know.

1 hour, 24 minutes, 46 seconds

Bill Gates and Fouchy. Oh, the aliens are here. Dr. Fouchy, get out there and talk to him, please. No.

1 hour, 24 minutes, 55 seconds

No. You need somebody who knows. I think you need some kind of uh biologist.

1 hour, 25 minutes

Maybe somebody to talk to him. Very very often in these movies it’s always the scientist who lives and

1 hour, 25 minutes, 8 seconds

they have to navigate the pilot gets killed. Yeah. Yeah.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 12 seconds

Because scientists can do so many different things that it just makes sense in the story line that they’ve survived.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 16 seconds

You know what I say we send Will Smith because he’s already been in the movie.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 21 seconds

Send Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum. Give Will Smith a real redemption opportunity. His career has gone a different direction these days. This is

1 hour, 25 minutes, 28 seconds

his uh this would be his opportunity to go real life Independence Day.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 34 seconds

Jeff Goldlin, Will Smith, you send him out.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 37 seconds

Just the cast of Independence Day. Just send them out. Bill Pullman.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 40 seconds

Bill Pullman died. I think you guys have experience.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 43 seconds

Oh, I don’t know. Maybe not. But y’all have experience talking to aliens. Get out there and do it for real. Yeah.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 48 seconds

Send Walking Phoenix out to get this cast of signs. Yeah. Get Mel Gibson out there.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 52 seconds

If you’ve acted in an alien movie, we’re sending you to talk to the real aliens. Randy Quaid. We’ll search him down.

1 hour, 26 minutes

He’s gonna be hard to find, I think.

1 hour, 26 minutes, 2 seconds

All right. But Aaron, if it was you they sent, what what would you ask?

1 hour, 26 minutes, 6 seconds

Well, I’d have to learn sign language. I have to We have to develop a language between the two. That’d be the most complicated. Yeah.

1 hour, 26 minutes, 12 seconds

You know, you’d have to I come in peace. Something like that. Mhm. Like a third base coach. He’s trying to get you out.

1 hour, 26 minutes, 21 seconds

What if they could read your mind and talk to you telepathically?

1 hour, 26 minutes, 25 seconds

Yeah. Well, they maybe could. Which one of these ones? The uh the Mantis style has telepathic abilities.

1 hour, 26 minutes, 32 seconds

I would say the Gray could do it, but they all look like they could. He looks like he could.

1 hour, 26 minutes, 37 seconds

Here’s the reality. If they were are able to get to Earth, we know that the

1 hour, 26 minutes, 43 seconds

the nearest planet is so far away that for them to have been able to get here,

1 hour, 26 minutes, 50 seconds

they’re so far advanced. They’re they’re they’re operating at a level we can’t even comprehend. So, uh who knows?

1 hour, 26 minutes, 57 seconds

They’re probably read, but what if their planet is in to total turmoil, right? And they’re coming and they need help.

1 hour, 27 minutes, 4 seconds

They put every resource they ever had into the ship to get here.

1 hour, 27 minutes, 9 seconds

Okay. And then what? They want to stay here and set up shop here or they want us to come help. What if uh if there Let me ask you this. I’m not I’m not leaving to go.

1 hour, 27 minutes, 17 seconds

And then they get here and they go, “Well, we going to find another place. H look like y’all need more help than we do.

1 hour, 27 minutes, 24 seconds

Where do they land and they think we do want their help? And where do they land when they say we don’t want their help?

1 hour, 27 minutes, 31 seconds

Well, it’s hard to answer that without being mean, but I think you know what we’re talking about.

1 hour, 27 minutes, 38 seconds

But if they’re so advanced, so much further ahead of us, and they came here and take over our planet, is that even unethical?

1 hour, 27 minutes, 48 seconds

Ooh. if they want to take over our planet. Yeah. Yeah.

1 hour, 27 minutes, 52 seconds

Because that’s what we do to dumber creatures.

1 hour, 27 minutes, 56 seconds

But we don’t do it to other planets though.

1 hour, 27 minutes, 59 seconds

But we would we we’ve we’re taking over Mars soon.

1 hour, 28 minutes, 3 seconds

We we relocate animals and but we’re This is our planet though, you know.

1 hour, 28 minutes, 9 seconds

But it was their It’s the animals planet. Dominion over all the animals. Yeah.

1 hour, 28 minutes, 13 seconds

Yeah. Okay. Well, that kind of shuts that argument down.

1 hour, 28 minutes, 15 seconds

Like ants, they have their it’s their home and then we just like, well, get out of the way. Yeah. We do whatever we want with them. You know what I mean?

1 hour, 28 minutes, 24 seconds

Yeah.

1 hour, 28 minutes, 24 seconds

You’re saying if if aliens came, we’re so and we’d be so much dumber than them.

1 hour, 28 minutes, 29 seconds

It’d be the equivalent of us like taking over an antill somewhere. Yeah. Or something like that. Yeah. I mean, I hope that’s not the case.

1 hour, 28 minutes, 37 seconds

But if they get here, they’re probably going to kill us all.

1 hour, 28 minutes, 43 seconds

What would you say to them? Well, I would I would argue, let’s say they were like, “We need a guy who’s been on Earth for a long time.”

1 hour, 28 minutes, 50 seconds

And Okay. Who’s been here the longest?

1 hour, 28 minutes, 57 seconds

Where do you think that voice comes from? Who’s a public figure? Yeah, we need a public figure.

1 hour, 29 minutes, 3 seconds

And you go, what would you say?

1 hour, 29 minutes, 7 seconds

Um, and and as they say, provided they can speak English.

1 hour, 29 minutes, 11 seconds

Right. Right. They’ve had a long track here. They’ve learned the language. Okay.

1 hour, 29 minutes, 17 seconds

Um I would I would ask, what do you guys know that we don’t know? Wow. First, your opening line.

1 hour, 29 minutes, 24 seconds

Yeah. Yeah, that’s a pretty big opening line. Come off with a question.

1 hour, 29 minutes, 29 seconds

You just come right out. What do you know that we don’t know?

1 hour, 29 minutes, 34 seconds

Like, whoa, whoa, whoa. No. Hey, how you doing? We come in peace. Nothing like that. You said what’s the question you ask?

1 hour, 29 minutes, 40 seconds

Well, I guess I guess I would you know how you would go about it. But yeah, first question.

1 hour, 29 minutes, 44 seconds

What if they came say we come in peace and they do this and then you do this and then they’re like, “Oh, this guy’s one of us.” And you know the secret handshake and then they kill all of us except you.

1 hour, 29 minutes, 54 seconds

Well, it’s part of it, right?

1 hour, 29 minutes, 56 seconds

Yeah. I mean that, you know, stuff happens. Yeah, I would say the for that question I asked earlier, the the difference between us, obvious there’s a lot of

1 hour, 30 minutes, 4 seconds

difference between us and animals, but an ant or any other creature like that, they’re going to be the same a thousand years from now as they are now.

1 hour, 30 minutes, 13 seconds

Whereas hopefully Bessie would argue we get dumber, but we’re going to be a thousand years more advanced. Yeah, sure. Right.

1 hour, 30 minutes, 21 seconds

100%.

1 hour, 30 minutes, 22 seconds

Yeah. I mean, our technology will be greatly improved, I would think. Yeah.

1 hour, 30 minutes, 26 seconds

Unless there’s some kind of Yeah.

1 hour, 30 minutes, 29 seconds

You know, uh reset event. Yeah. Yeah. Some type of event. Yeah.

1 hour, 30 minutes, 35 seconds

Or we’ll we’ll download our consciousness onto something else.

1 hour, 30 minutes, 39 seconds

You know, the transhumanism they call it.

1 hour, 30 minutes, 41 seconds

Uh the kind of leading congressman for getting this stuff revealed is from Tennessee. Who’s that? Tim Burchett. Oh, really?

1 hour, 30 minutes, 49 seconds

Yeah. He’s the one that’s been pushing for disclosure and releasing these files. Let’s get him on the pod. Yeah. He might come on.

1 hour, 30 minutes, 58 seconds

Yeah, let’s get him on here.

1 hour, 31 minutes

But, uh, yeah, Congressman from Knoxville. Okay.

1 hour, 31 minutes, 5 seconds

Um, shout out Tim. I filmed Working Man.

1 hour, 31 minutes, 7 seconds

How do you think it’s available on YouTube right now?

1 hour, 31 minutes, 15 seconds

Uh, how do you think the world?

1 hour, 31 minutes, 19 seconds

How do you think the world would react though? The government comes out and says, “There are aliens. we’ve been in contact or we’ve retrieved an alien craft.

1 hour, 31 minutes, 27 seconds

I mean, it would it would have to be much more explicit than what they’re already telling us.

1 hour, 31 minutes, 32 seconds

Yes. I’m saying they’re saying definitively.

1 hour, 31 minutes, 34 seconds

You’re saying the president comes on TV, they have to break in TV. We’ve we’ve met aliens and then we have to How would we react

1 hour, 31 minutes, 44 seconds

to that? I don’t know. I think a lot of people off rip wouldn’t believe it. Well, sure.

1 hour, 31 minutes, 50 seconds

They’d think this is a be panic in the streets, Y, and Z. No, I don’t think there’d be panic in the streets. Like if they showed it to us.

1 hour, 31 minutes, 55 seconds

If they showed a vid like a video of what? Like a little gray alien in the Oval Office. Something like that.

1 hour, 32 minutes

Or maybe a maybe like a retrieve craft that What about a ship? You What if a ship was coming down over a city?

1 hour, 32 minutes, 9 seconds

I think that would be sure panic.

1 hour, 32 minutes, 10 seconds

Yeah, that that be that’d be different for sure. Yeah.

1 hour, 32 minutes, 13 seconds

I’m saying the president comes out and says we have that they show us some still photos. Of course, some people are going to believe it. But the ones who do believe it, are they going to panic? I

1 hour, 32 minutes, 22 seconds

think no one would believe it now because of AI. Uhhuh.

1 hour, 32 minutes, 25 seconds

Unless you see it with your own eyes out there in the world, right?

1 hour, 32 minutes, 28 seconds

Yeah. What if they put it on the White House lawn during the UFC fight?

1 hour, 32 minutes, 31 seconds

Do you ever watch He gets in there. Everybody can just get in and sit in it.

1 hour, 32 minutes, 38 seconds

Do you ever watch the movie Deep Impact where a meteor Yeah.

1 hour, 32 minutes, 41 seconds

hits the Earth and and uh there’s a scene at the end. It hits the water and it creates a tidal wave that’s like 4 or 500 ft high.

1 hour, 32 minutes, 49 seconds

Right.

1 hour, 32 minutes, 50 seconds

Yeah. And the main character, the woman, her and her father, they stand on the shore. Mhm.

1 hour, 32 minutes, 57 seconds

And just let the wave kill him. I think that’s what I would do. What about you, Dustin?

1 hour, 33 minutes, 6 seconds

I like that, too. I mean, what are you going to do?

1 hour, 33 minutes, 9 seconds

There’s nothing to do with if there’s a giant spaceship that covers, you know, all of Manhattan. Am I supposed theory?

1 hour, 33 minutes, 15 seconds

Am I supposed to take a pistol and just shoot at What if they come in peace?

1 hour, 33 minutes, 20 seconds

Oh, I don’t think they’re coming in peace, dude.

1 hour, 33 minutes, 22 seconds

I think you got to I mean, I hate to bring it back here every time, but I think you got to pray. This is what’s always we’re doing. I’m doing all that stuff.

1 hour, 33 minutes, 30 seconds

This is what we’re always missing in these end of the world movies. End of the world movies. Everything’s going wrong. Everybody’s panicking.

1 hour, 33 minutes, 36 seconds

Everybody’s freaking out. Nobody praying. You know what I mean? That’s what we’re missing.

1 hour, 33 minutes, 40 seconds

Mhm. I bet you’d be reading reading the King James version if they were coming down. No, I would. Not even then.

1 hour, 33 minutes, 46 seconds

I would want to understand it if I was really trying to read it there at the end. But Dusty can translate it for you. Yeah, I’ll be right there with you.

1 hour, 33 minutes, 52 seconds

I don’t think you’ll be in your bunker. You shoot me and my family and get in the bunker and lock it.

1 hour, 34 minutes, 2 seconds

Now, Erin, have you heard that uh that the Vatican has secret UFO information? No, I don’t know anything about that.

1 hour, 34 minutes, 9 seconds

Well, some people think what what do they got?

1 hour, 34 minutes, 11 seconds

The Pope, this new pope may be the one that releases. He’s taking on AI right now. I don’t know if you’ve seen that. He’s taking on AI. I was into that.

1 hour, 34 minutes, 19 seconds

There was uh a guy who testified before Congress in 2023, David Grush, and he

1 hour, 34 minutes, 26 seconds

says that the Vatican has a international cover up of alien secrets.

1 hour, 34 minutes, 31 seconds

Apparently, one crashed in the 1930s in Italy and Mussolini retrieved it and okay,

1 hour, 34 minutes, 38 seconds

the Pope uh Pas 12th informed the United States about it. Give them a little heads up.

1 hour, 34 minutes, 46 seconds

Oh, that was nice of him.

1 hour, 34 minutes, 47 seconds

So, uh and the Vatican has all these secrets.

1 hour, 34 minutes, 53 seconds

Um yeah, I don’t know if I I don’t know if I believe any of that.

1 hour, 34 minutes, 57 seconds

Yeah, I don’t think I don’t think the Vatican is doing stuff like that. Yeah. You know what I mean? Mhm. Okay.

1 hour, 35 minutes, 5 seconds

That’s Aaron just looked at his fake watch.

1 hour, 35 minutes, 10 seconds

We’re almost done. Uh Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

1 hour, 35 minutes, 15 seconds

What’s uh Let me ask about a movie. What about Mars Attacks? I’ve seen Mars Attacks. Yeah. Yeah. That’s a good one.

1 hour, 35 minutes, 23 seconds

You think that’s what the aliens look like?

1 hour, 35 minutes, 24 seconds

Well, they’re they’re they’re green in that, but I think they look like the grays.

1 hour, 35 minutes, 29 seconds

Yeah. And then they’re telling you they’re coming based on a true story.

1 hour, 35 minutes, 32 seconds

And then the celebrities uh maybe they are gray. Yeah. And then the celebrities are there’s so many celebrities in this

1 hour, 35 minutes, 38 seconds

movie and you know and they’re like trying to be buddies with all these guys and then they start wiping them out. Yeah.

1 hour, 35 minutes, 46 seconds

And uh uh it’s a yodelling country song that sets everyone free. And so we’re right here in Nashville. So I

1 hour, 35 minutes, 54 seconds

think we’re the we’ll be safe here. I have not seen Mars Attacks. You’ve not seen it? Uh-uh. Oh, man. It’s a great movie.

1 hour, 36 minutes, 2 seconds

Um, I don’t listen, I don’t want to say it’s a great movie. It is entertaining. It’s a Tim Burton movie.

1 hour, 36 minutes, 10 seconds

Is it? Mhm. Yeah. Um, ET.

1 hour, 36 minutes, 15 seconds

Oh, ET. That was a really good one. I don’t know how it holds up, but I liked it as a kid.

1 hour, 36 minutes, 19 seconds

Mhm. Aaron, have you seen ET?

1 hour, 36 minutes, 22 seconds

Never saw it. And Drew Barrymore, isn’t she in that? Mhm. She plays the alien or what? Who is she? She’s the mom.

1 hour, 36 minutes, 29 seconds

Oh, what about this? She’s the little little sister.

1 hour, 36 minutes, 33 seconds

What about this movie? I mean, nobody ever talks about this guy because he, you know, he got in trouble or whatever, but uh Kevin Spacy was in a movie called Kax.

1 hour, 36 minutes, 42 seconds

I never saw it.

1 hour, 36 minutes, 43 seconds

Kax is really good. Um, that’s why no one talks about the movie cuz Kevin Spacy got in trouble. Kevin Spacy and Jeff Bridges.

1 hour, 36 minutes, 52 seconds

Well, yeah. I mean, Kevin Spacy, no one talks about his movies anymore, but Kax was really good.

1 hour, 36 minutes, 58 seconds

Uh, and it was He’s an alien. Well, that’s the thing about the movie.

1 hour, 37 minutes, 2 seconds

You don’t really know. And even in the end, you don’t really know. I suspect that he was, but in the movie, um, you know, he’s

1 hour, 37 minutes, 11 seconds

been checked into a a mental institution.

1 hour, 37 minutes, 14 seconds

Mhm. But he’s going on and on and uh I don’t want to give it away even though

1 hour, 37 minutes, 20 seconds

it’s, you know, it’s 24 years old, but in case people have never heard of it and want to go watch it, the Kevin Spacy part was originally offered to Will Smith.

1 hour, 37 minutes, 30 seconds

Oh, wow. Will Smith turned it down. Wow. I turned it down. It’s a big miss on Will’s part.

1 hour, 37 minutes, 37 seconds

Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, but Steven Spielberg is so good at taking movies and coming from a different

1 hour, 37 minutes, 45 seconds

angle. That movie is really about how we react Yeah. to aliens. Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I never saw it.

1 hour, 37 minutes, 52 seconds

It’s one of, I guess, his first movies from the 70s. Supposed to be one of his best.

1 hour, 37 minutes, 56 seconds

Um, made a ton of money, man. 307 million on a $19 million budget. Pretty good investment.

1 hour, 38 minutes, 3 seconds

What about Unsolved Mysteries? Do you ever watch that as again? Mhm.

1 hour, 38 minutes, 6 seconds

Mhm. cuz I used to watch that a lot and that’s what really got me afraid of aliens. I used to be really afraid that they were going to come and take me in the night.

1 hour, 38 minutes, 15 seconds

They still might.

1 hour, 38 minutes, 17 seconds

Well, I got a plan now. But what’s the plan?

1 hour, 38 minutes, 20 seconds

Well, it’s the same plan that I’ve been telling you guys the whole episode, but uh um you got a Bible by your bed, right?

1 hour, 38 minutes, 27 seconds

Well, yeah. Well, yeah. And uh what’s the what’s the plan? I know you’ve been telling us a lip. Well, um, you know, there’s been people that that

1 hour, 38 minutes, 35 seconds

that study these, uh, alien the people that claim to have been abducted. Mhm.

1 hour, 38 minutes, 41 seconds

Uh, they say there is like people crying out to Jesus during these abductions always report that the abduction immediately ends.

1 hour, 38 minutes, 50 seconds

Ah, and uh, so that’s what leads more to the evidence of what, you know, people talk about them being demons. But that would be my plan. But as a kid, I didn’t know

1 hour, 38 minutes, 58 seconds

any of that. I was just watching Unsolved Mysteries and I was just afraid. I was afraid of ghost and I was afraid of aliens all the time. All my life I was afraid of ghosts and aliens.

1 hour, 39 minutes, 8 seconds

I was afraid. I kept the door closed because one time I saw a ghost in Unsolved Mysteries come into the open doorway and actually warn a family that

1 hour, 39 minutes, 17 seconds

their house was on fire and saved their lives. But it still terrified me. I’d like to have that go.

1 hour, 39 minutes, 25 seconds

Yeah. But I I didn’t want to see. Hey, I I burned some on the stove and can’t turn it off. Just letting you guys know. Is that what he did?

1 hour, 39 minutes, 32 seconds

Uh, and aliens. All that stuff terrified me. Yeah. All the time as a kid. Have you seen the movie Fire in the Sky? No.

1 hour, 39 minutes, 40 seconds

I know the song.

1 hour, 39 minutes, 41 seconds

It’s uh from early 90s based on a guy who claimed he was abducted. It’s based on a true story.

1 hour, 39 minutes, 47 seconds

Um, guy was abducted for a few days and he was out. He was a logger and they were getting un logging and they saw a bright light. He got out of the truck.

1 hour, 39 minutes, 57 seconds

It sucked him up spaceship. Few days later he shows back up. Said he was abducted.

1 hour, 40 minutes, 2 seconds

Was he a changed man or was he just right back to it? His name’s Travis. Uh he’s still alive. Travis Walton. Yeah. He was on Joe Rogan.

1 hour, 40 minutes, 10 seconds

Wow. How about that? He was uh an alleged.

1 hour, 40 minutes, 14 seconds

It’s got to be tough to This is your whole life now and then still says alleged on your Wikipedia. You’re like, “Guys,

1 hour, 40 minutes, 22 seconds

come on. I’ve made my whole life about this, dude.” Well, that is what’s so crazy about the government just like kind of releasing stuff now is it’s like my entire life if

1 hour, 40 minutes, 31 seconds

you talked about believing aliens or being like, “Oh, I got abducted.” Then you were some type of nutcase.

1 hour, 40 minutes, 37 seconds

And now the government’s like, “Well, maybe they are real guys.” Yeah. are bad on that fellas. Yeah.

1 hour, 40 minutes, 44 seconds

Um let’s say aliens come down, okay, to zies, right?

1 hour, 40 minutes, 50 seconds

They see a mural on the wall and they’re like, “These guys must be the most important people on this planet.” That’s what I would think. Yeah, that would be you, Dusty.

1 hour, 41 minutes

Yeah.

1 hour, 41 minutes, 1 second

What do you think of that? Well, I think they would go, “Well, this guy is on the back corner of the parking lot, so we’ll start with the neighbor.”

1 hour, 41 minutes, 9 seconds

We’ll start with the front corner and then work our way back to this guy.

1 hour, 41 minutes, 14 seconds

Okay. Yeah. But if they land in the back parking lot, you might be the first one they see. That’s true. You and Lavel Crawford.

1 hour, 41 minutes, 21 seconds

Yeah. I’ll tell them. Well, I am important. I am a public figure. And uh you can see my special on YouTube right now.

1 hour, 41 minutes, 28 seconds

Yeah. watch this. You had a lot of time when you were flying here to watch that.

1 hour, 41 minutes, 31 seconds

I was listening to the We Having a Good Time. We Having a good time.

1 hour, 41 minutes, 35 seconds

Uh, we’re having a good time podcast and Dusty said that he saw a mural of Kobe Bryant and if aliens came down, they’d

1 hour, 41 minutes, 43 seconds

be like, “Wow, these guys must be the leaders.” Yeah, I I get that. I just He’s on two different walls.

1 hour, 41 minutes, 48 seconds

Cuz it wasn’t him in It was in LA and it wasn’t him like playing basketball. It was just a picture of, you know, a

1 hour, 41 minutes, 57 seconds

painting of Kobe Bryant. That’s what I thought.

1 hour, 41 minutes, 59 seconds

If aliens came here, they’d go, “That guy must run the country.” I think they’d think the Statue of Liberty is the queen. Yeah, for sure.

1 hour, 42 minutes, 8 seconds

Mhm. Yeah, absolutely. Um, Men in Black, another classic.

1 hour, 42 minutes, 17 seconds

All right, now it’s time for Dusty Slay’s top 10 country songs about UFOs. UFOs. Are there any? Are there any?

1 hour, 42 minutes, 25 seconds

I don’t know of any.

1 hour, 42 minutes, 26 seconds

Welcome to Earth, Third Rock from the Sun.

1 hour, 42 minutes, 28 seconds

Yeah, but even that it’s not really about aliens. I don’t know that there’s any about aliens. Okay. Okay.

1 hour, 42 minutes, 34 seconds

I can’t think of a single one. There’s a you know a I’m quick guessing it here, but uh it’s either none or 200,000.

1 hour, 42 minutes, 44 seconds

Yeah. Aaron, have you heard of the Fermy paradox?

1 hour, 42 minutes, 47 seconds

No. What’s that? It’s basically says by a scientist last name Fermy that if there are billions and billions of

1 hour, 42 minutes, 54 seconds

planets out there that should have potential life, why haven’t we found anything out there? Why is it they’re not

1 hour, 43 minutes, 1 second

there is a Journey has a song called the wheels in the sky keep on turning. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Is that about UFOs?

1 hour, 43 minutes, 9 seconds

I think so. All right. Sorry to cut you off, but I Elton John has a song called Rocket Man, I think.

1 hour, 43 minutes, 19 seconds

Oh, yeah. Yeah. All right, we’re building a list.

1 hour, 43 minutes, 21 seconds

Go that way. Yeah. Yeah. What about David Billy? I’m a man. Okay, we’re building a list. Uh, what’s the paradoxes that Yeah.

1 hour, 43 minutes, 29 seconds

Well, nothing’s been country. The paradox is why haven’t we found them yet? Cuz they’re too far away to get to.

1 hour, 43 minutes, 38 seconds

But well, we’re not like but if we’re signaling signals out there or if they’re advanced, why haven’t they sent a signal to us?

1 hour, 43 minutes, 43 seconds

Even the sign I mean maybe they have but they’re so far away.

1 hour, 43 minutes, 47 seconds

Mhm. I mean the arguments that are made based on that is they’re either hiding because they don’t want to be found.

1 hour, 43 minutes, 54 seconds

Okay. Because someone may come and wipe them out. Yeah. Which is pretty good argument, I guess.

1 hour, 43 minutes, 58 seconds

or by the time you get to the advanced technology abilities to send out messages or probes, whatever, you wipe yourself out.

1 hour, 44 minutes, 7 seconds

You kill yourself.

1 hour, 44 minutes, 8 seconds

Yeah. Because of with like like we almost have done multiple times. Yeah.

1 hour, 44 minutes, 13 seconds

Yeah. The other option is we’re still just too far away from each other for any of that to matter. Mhm. You know, how far has our signal gotten?

1 hour, 44 minutes, 22 seconds

Our radio signal, how far is that into space right now? Uh, according to Dusty, up half a mile and then it goes plink.

1 hour, 44 minutes, 31 seconds

Well, not a half a mile, but uh not Yeah. I mean, not much further. Yeah.

1 hour, 44 minutes, 41 seconds

It bounces back on us.

1 hour, 44 minutes, 42 seconds

That’s funny. Like the end of Truman Show.

1 hour, 44 minutes, 45 seconds

Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. The outer darkness. Mhm. Yeah.

1 hour, 44 minutes, 50 seconds

All right. Well, I guess we can stop there since we’re on a roll.

1 hour, 44 minutes, 53 seconds

We learned We learned a lot. We didn’t have I forgot my ultra pouches today.

1 hour, 44 minutes, 58 seconds

I know that you guys uh have already done an episode on a different podcast uh about UFOs. So, this was, you know, part two.

1 hour, 45 minutes, 7 seconds

Yeah. And I we got more specific about I think we’ve already we did two episodes on the old podcast and we got specific

1 hour, 45 minutes, 15 seconds

about cases like Roswell and different abductions and things like that. Okay. Um maybe I should have went that route. Kept pretty kept it pretty vague here.

1 hour, 45 minutes, 23 seconds

No, I like this. I thought this was a lot of fun.

1 hour, 45 minutes, 26 seconds

Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, we’re just testing the waters to see what we can get away with with Dusty. You know what I mean?

1 hour, 45 minutes, 34 seconds

I think we’re going to we’re going to get into the nitty-gritty next week now that we know he’s cool. Yeah.

1 hour, 45 minutes, 39 seconds

And then we’ll really weren’t sure how this was going to go. Dusty, you did great.

1 hour, 45 minutes, 45 seconds
