1:01

Hello and welcome to It Gets Weird, our comedy

1:03

show where we explore the unusual, the

1:05

unbelievable, and the unexplained to try to

1:07

make your world a little weirder. I'm

1:09

Nile. And I'm Kyle. Yo, we are

1:11

back. We're back in business. I

1:14

do have to start off with some bad news.

1:16

I hate to take it to a negative place,

1:18

but there's some bad shit that happened. Some negative

1:20

news. We took that break off, right? During that

1:22

break, something

1:25

unfortunate happened. Nile and I were

1:28

talking about this off mic. But

1:32

it's so hard to do this bit

1:34

with Jules looking at me. Jules is here.

1:36

spoiled it. Sorry. Is

1:39

that the bad news? No, no, no,

1:41

no. That's not. That's always good

1:43

news. Honestly, it's the best news

1:45

this podcast can hope to receive

1:47

today because we're

1:50

canceled. Oh, really? Yeah. And I

1:52

know what you're thinking. I know what you're thinking

1:54

out there. You're thinking, God, Nile

1:57

went on one of their... tirades

1:59

on x the everything website

2:01

again That's what you're thinking.

2:03

I know it's not it's

2:06

not it's not like that.

2:08

Okay They bought Libsyn and

2:10

a whole bunch of podcast

2:12

hosting sites That guy um

2:14

Zizek or Zazz lab or

2:16

whatever his name is he

2:19

came in and he was

2:21

like we're gonna do some

2:23

Warner Brothers type shit to

2:25

all these fucking podcasts. I

2:27

think that's actually his official

2:29

quote on the matter. We're

2:32

gonna do some Warner Brothers

2:34

shit. So unfortunately,

2:36

we're gonna have to find

2:38

other avenues that are more

2:41

accessible. So

2:43

this is just all to say,

2:45

announcement. You are now going

2:48

to be able to find us at pornhub

2:50

.com/it gets weird. That's

2:52

where we're gonna be. There will be video. There will be

2:55

video. It might be on where the cameras are pointed. It's

2:58

it's it's yeah, it's it's a bit

3:00

more of a it's a less straightforward

3:02

experience. We've partnered with some great workers

3:04

that are going to provide the video

3:07

content for us. Yes, but it will

3:09

be rhythmically matched. So the cadence of

3:11

our speech will factor into the let's

3:13

say the motion of the ocean and

3:16

said video content. Yeah, I said disaster.

3:18

It'll be like the Seinfeld intro where

3:20

they where they play it live each

3:22

time. And

3:25

I said to Zazzlav like, please, like

3:27

we don't have, this is an audio

3:29

podcast. We don't have to have

3:32

that. You don't need to, but you know,

3:34

then you made the argument and Zazzlav all

3:36

agreed that like, you know, we could get

3:38

some workers, they could put some more money

3:40

and more food in their kids mouths and

3:42

stuff. And so there

3:44

will be, and you have

3:46

to hit a certain minimum

3:48

amount of nudity on Pornhub

3:50

to upload something. And

3:53

so I don't, now. Uh,

3:55

sorry. I am getting

3:57

a note from our producer. Um,

4:01

okay. It looks like porn hub is banned in

4:03

a couple of states. Yeah.

4:06

So I don't know. I'm going to,

4:09

I think that the other thing I

4:11

had on my list was the CDC

4:13

was starting a podcast hosting thing. So

4:15

maybe I'll look into that. Yeah.

4:18

So I think, I think that's the best way

4:20

to get the news out there. So. We did,

4:22

we did, we did just kind of jump over

4:24

the fact. A little bit, yeah. Jules is here.

4:27

Jules's in the house. You were welcome

4:29

to, you know, if you had any comments

4:31

on the Pornhub situation. I, um, weirdly, I

4:34

had nothing to add. Okay. For

4:36

the first time ever. I should have briefed

4:38

you before we brought you on here because

4:40

then maybe we could get some useful commentary on

4:43

the situation, but that's okay. I'm

4:45

not, I'm not too worried about

4:47

it. Um, no, very,

4:49

very excited. Jules is here.

4:52

after our little week off, which, you

4:54

know, can I just say

4:56

real quick too, everybody was so

4:58

supportive when we said we were taking a week off.

5:01

Like, I think Yeah, so we're just gonna start doing

5:03

it all the time. Well,

5:05

- Yeah, fuck your schedule. We're

5:08

so like, we're both very like

5:10

antsy about like how not putting

5:12

out an episode every fucking week

5:14

would be received. Schedule's

5:16

not changing or anything, but it was like nice

5:18

to have a little breather. So like, I

5:21

for one am very glad that you guys

5:23

are starting up again because it's like it's

5:26

like when a parent Has their kids home

5:28

for summer vacation. Yeah, and it's like oh,

5:30

I actually have to like see this little

5:32

fucker all day You guys taking a week

5:35

off was like, oh my god Please it

5:37

gets weird listeners. Can you take these two

5:39

off my hands for me? Well, I go

5:42

outside and have a cigarette you live for

5:44

that hour and a half where it's it's

5:46

just you You're kicking

5:48

your feet up. You're eating

5:50

bonbons. You're watching your favorite

5:52

comedy specials. And Niles in

5:55

here talking to my stupid

5:57

ass. That's right. And

5:59

you can just relax. I

6:02

get it. I understand. So

6:05

that was the opening bit. Yeah.

6:09

It's a good. We got to work

6:11

on our transitions a little bit. Yeah. I

6:13

think a little lamp shady at the moment.

6:15

So. This week Kyle

6:17

yeah, I I have for you a

6:19

UFO tail nice But not just any

6:22

UFO tail It's we get we get

6:24

a whole new type of alien here

6:26

We get we get to take a

6:28

time travel back to the 1960s as

6:30

we love to do and we also

6:33

get to take Not and not we

6:35

also get to not only travel in

6:37

time but in space because this is

6:39

a Dutch UFO encounter. Okay,

6:41

okay Sorry,

6:46

I know you I know I made like a noise like

6:48

I was going to say something. You

6:51

can just barrel right past that.

6:53

OK, so leave that in. Look,

6:56

Jules, Jules is here to fill

6:58

in the gaps when Kyle makes

7:00

noises and doesn't talk. So

7:03

that's this week.

7:05

Anyway, so this week

7:07

we're going to talk about the argons, which

7:09

are an alien race that has only as

7:12

far as I can. OK. As far as

7:14

I can tell, there's only one time we've

7:16

actually seen the argons on Earth, and

7:19

that was by the man

7:21

known as Stefan Daenerde, or

7:24

possibly, or his real name,

7:26

Adrian CM Beers, which

7:29

we'll get into that more in here

7:31

in a second. But I did see

7:33

random places. There was one place online

7:36

that someone said that... supposedly

7:38

the jargons touched down in

7:40

Japan before this. So if

7:42

anyone has any information about

7:44

this alien race touching down

7:47

in Japan, because I could

7:49

find none, please send it

7:51

to me. Do you think

7:53

that maybe, because what's the...

7:55

You covered a Japanese UFO

7:57

alien situation that I feel

7:59

like is like... The Utsuro

8:01

Bune? The Utsuro Bune, is

8:03

that? That's like really early

8:05

on, right? That's like... Yeah,

8:07

that's like... would block Prince

8:09

era, you know? Maybe,

8:11

I mean, I guess this is

8:13

a craft that comes up out

8:15

of the water. So they could

8:17

be referencing, I guess they could

8:20

be tying it. That's what I'm thinking is like, sometimes

8:23

when people tell

8:25

these stories, they

8:28

find ways where it's like this little

8:30

nugget. in this story can tie into

8:32

another story in a different part of

8:34

the world. And it like legitimizes it

8:36

as like some sort of global phenomenon

8:38

thing, you know what I mean? Like,

8:41

yeah. So maybe that's what they're, maybe

8:43

they're doing some Utsurobune references here, but

8:45

they don't call it out by name, then I don't

8:48

know, but. Yeah. Anyway,

8:50

uh, so we are going to talk

8:52

about the Yargans from the planet Yaga,

8:55

uh, which is.

8:59

This this is really kind of it

9:01

fits pretty squarely into that kind of

9:03

nineteen sixties. Alien race coming to see

9:06

us and tell us how great their

9:08

society is and how bad we are.

9:12

It kind of fits into that

9:14

camp pretty heavily, which I always

9:16

enjoy that kind of like... Here's

9:18

the galactic utopia that you guys

9:21

suck too much to achieve, so

9:23

we're gonna tell you how to

9:25

live your lives. It's always a

9:27

fun time. Is this YARGA? Is

9:29

that YARGA? Okay, so

9:31

depending on the translation, normally it

9:34

is IARGA, but there are some

9:36

places that will... I don't know

9:38

is that like anglicizing it whatever

9:40

it will make it YA RGA

9:42

So you'll you can find it

9:44

either way And just to talk

9:47

quickly the all of this stuff

9:49

the only person that supposedly has

9:51

actually seen these aliens his actual

9:53

name is Adrian CM beers. He

9:55

was a Dutch automotive importer and

9:57

owned a couple other businesses and

9:59

stuff so he was just like

10:02

a random like Kind of rich

10:04

Dutch guy at the time that

10:07

before this supposedly had very little

10:09

to no actual interaction with like

10:11

UFO phenomenon or like UFO research

10:14

at all. But

10:16

he had this contactee experience.

10:18

But he's known in the

10:20

book under a pseudonym because

10:22

he published the book that

10:24

we're gonna talk about under

10:26

the pseudonym, Stefan Daenerde, which

10:28

is like a weird kind

10:30

of thing where he was

10:32

referred to as Steph in

10:34

the book and the aliens

10:36

called him Steph of the

10:38

earth and somehow the Dutch

10:40

version of of the earth

10:42

got kind of translated into

10:44

this last name D E

10:46

N A E R D

10:48

E. So it's Steph of

10:50

the earth is is what

10:52

he's called in the book.

10:54

His real name is Adrian.

10:57

OK, OK. These

11:00

are all all the little

11:02

things that you're saying are

11:04

you said this is the

11:06

60s? Yeah, okay that that

11:08

makes a lot of sense

11:10

it all it all feels

11:12

you know what it actually

11:14

kind of brought into my

11:16

mind first is the guy

11:18

who I believe was a

11:20

Native American man who wrote

11:22

a book about like, I

11:24

don't know, was it what

11:26

you did this episode? It

11:28

was like, they were like

11:30

celestial beings or something. It's

11:32

probably earlier on the timeline

11:34

or later on the timeline

11:36

than what you're talking about

11:38

here. But it gives me

11:40

that flavor, but like the

11:42

vibe of like, oh, we're

11:44

so bad and we need

11:46

to, you know, self -flagellate

11:48

or whatever over, you know,

11:50

how bad of a society

11:52

we are. That

11:54

is very sixties, I

11:56

think. I

12:00

don't know if this is where

12:02

we're going, but it's kind of

12:04

in a way a space brother's

12:06

flavor. It's in

12:08

that larger camp for sure. I

12:11

don't know if this is actually interesting. And

12:14

sometimes I wonder if I show my ass too

12:16

much that I don't listen to this podcast. And

12:19

if I should go on record about

12:21

that. But I just want to say

12:23

at the beginning of that, you said

12:26

he had no. other, no previous experiences

12:28

with UFOs. This was his first thing.

12:31

He's now, he's a contactee. And I

12:33

was like, I didn't think he did.

12:35

Like I just was sitting here like,

12:37

why would anyone assume that? And I

12:39

was like, Oh no, this is the

12:42

show where people have had previous experiences.

12:44

Yeah. And like a lot of times

12:47

if someone is a contactee and you

12:49

find out that they have like been

12:51

digging into UFO research for 10 years,

12:53

it's like, Oh, yeah. Exactly. It's like

12:56

you said it very well. You're good

12:58

at hosting this show. I just forget

13:00

sometimes you guys host a weird fucking

13:03

show about weird fuckers. And

13:05

like depending on the

13:07

kind of contactee they

13:10

are or even abductees,

13:12

it's like you're usually

13:14

some of these people

13:17

would be basically one

13:19

session of hypnotic

13:21

regression away from discovering that they

13:23

have been visited by aliens, or

13:25

UFOs, or bones. Since childhood. Since

13:28

childhood, yeah, that's usually how it,

13:30

that is one of the ways that this

13:33

can go. So, it's, I

13:35

don't know, it's a delineating factor

13:37

the more you know contact. It's

13:39

worth noting, it's very worth noting.

13:42

So all in all this

13:44

man wrote two different books

13:46

kind of detailing his the

13:48

first book details his his

13:50

contact with them and He

13:52

actually went on their ship

13:54

and had this whole two

13:56

-day seminar, which is great,

13:59

which we'll talk about But

14:01

then the second book details

14:03

he started to have kind

14:05

of channeling stuff with these

14:07

aliens from across time and

14:09

space and that book

14:11

from as far as I can tell

14:13

people think of as like, oh, so

14:16

this is where he really went into his

14:18

like religious stuff. Yeah,

14:20

like it's it the tenor like

14:23

stuff that the aliens were very

14:25

vague about kind of went against

14:27

in the first book and the

14:30

second book all of a sudden

14:32

they're like very pushing Christian values

14:34

and stuff, which is which is

14:37

funny. So much of the New

14:40

Agey stuff does a lot of

14:43

the time boil down to like

14:45

a sort of repackaged Christian morality

14:47

thing. So it doesn't surprise me

14:50

too much. And even beyond that,

14:52

the second book has this whole

14:54

thing about supposedly being able to

14:57

prove the existence of God. And

15:01

it's totally just like

15:04

this kind of metaphorical

15:06

thing. Like it's not

15:08

a good... God. But

15:12

yeah, that's like one of the culminating

15:14

things of that book, that there's now

15:16

like a kind of offshoot thing where

15:18

this website took that on and was

15:20

trying to like expand upon it and

15:22

do other stuff surrounding it. And like,

15:25

so that became its own thing. So

15:27

you can find theoryofgod .com archived on

15:29

the web archive, if you want to

15:31

look at a really old website. Wow.

15:34

That has to have been

15:36

one that was snapped up

15:38

in the late 90s, early

15:40

2000s. Yeah, there's so many

15:43

people would be fucking fighting

15:45

over theory of God calm

15:47

For decades now probably yeah

15:49

So The the book was

15:52

originally released in America as

15:54

operation survival earth but

15:57

has since kind of been

15:59

retranslated when a guy named

16:01

Wendell Stevens got involved, and

16:04

the book got re -released in an

16:06

expanded form under the name UFO Contact

16:08

from Planet Iarga. Which

16:10

comes out in the mid to late

16:13

70s. Survival Earth, that Bruce Willis movie?

16:16

Or what am I thinking? I'm not

16:19

Bruce, John Travolta. Oh, you're talking about

16:21

Battlefield Earth? Oh, I guess I am.

16:23

Yeah. Don't

16:25

you hate when that happens? Yeah, the Scientology.

16:27

The You don't realize that you're talking about

16:29

Battlefield 2? Shit, we should watch that. Yeah,

16:32

that's, hey, that's Patreon content, baby.

16:35

true, that's true. I

16:38

actually would, that's one,

16:41

supposedly there's an audiobook of it

16:43

that's like one of the best

16:45

audiobooks ever recorded because it has

16:48

like full level like... sound effects

16:50

and music and like really big

16:52

performances and stuff. It's like it's

16:54

like a famous audiobook of Battlefield

16:57

Earth. They like expanded really long

16:59

edition. I don't

17:01

know why I'm telling you about this.

17:03

This is the thing that I read

17:06

about. I went down a rabbit hole

17:08

about it like a year and a

17:10

half ago about how there's this like

17:12

weirdly well regarded audiobook of Battlefield Earth.

17:15

Anyway, they got that a Scientology money.

17:17

Yeah, guessing like you can just pour

17:19

it all up that fucking producing a

17:21

really like high quality Audio book with

17:24

the works. That's like a fucking pittance

17:26

Yeah for Scientology did I use that

17:28

word correctly? I'm getting

17:30

that's cool. Okay. Thank you So

17:32

nods from the booth. Thank you.

17:35

That's how you say that yes

17:37

producer Jules did you get that

17:39

right? Yes, that's right. All right,

17:41

so So,

17:43

Wendell Stevens, I'm just gonna quickly say, he

17:46

was a guy that had one

17:48

of the largest private collections of

17:51

UFO photography in the world before

17:53

his death. He also investigated and

17:55

was kind of involved with some

17:58

of the Billy Meyer UFO stuff.

18:01

So, you might see his name crop

18:03

up if you're looking into Billy Meyer

18:05

and stuff just for connection. Another very

18:07

famous contactee with a bit of a

18:09

spiritual bent. Do

18:12

you know if that stuff is

18:15

like in a museum or something?

18:17

Because that would be such a

18:19

cool collection to see. I'm not

18:22

sure. He died in like the

18:24

2010s, I think. So

18:26

I'm not certain where that ended

18:29

up. But I also

18:31

would love to see collection. I feel

18:33

like anybody who would see that and

18:35

doesn't know anything about the history of

18:37

UFOs and all that would just. be

18:39

like, well, we can just throw that

18:41

out. So

18:44

hopefully it's kept

18:46

somewhere. You

18:48

got to hope so. So this original book,

18:52

the actual contact stuff was written

18:54

and published in the original Dutch

18:56

version and originally in America as

18:58

science fiction. And that's for

19:00

kind of two reasons, the first of

19:03

which being - It's not real. Well.

19:06

I was going to say they were pussies. Basically,

19:11

they didn't think publishing it as fact

19:13

would go over very well, so he

19:15

kind of rewrote it a little bit

19:18

to make it more story and they

19:20

publish it as science fiction. But secondly,

19:23

it's part of this packed... made

19:25

with the aliens which to get this

19:27

two -day seminar He had to basically

19:30

say he can't have keep any actual

19:32

proof of it and that couldn't like

19:35

try to prove that this stuff was

19:37

real So there's this like sheen on

19:39

top of everything. That's part of why

19:42

he went under a pseudonym in the

19:44

book There's this kind of sheen

19:46

over everything where like The aliens

19:48

have certain things they can't tell you

19:50

and there's also things that he can't

19:53

tell you that are real that happened

19:55

because of this pact he made as

19:57

part of the deal of getting this

20:00

information. So it's like

20:02

the aliens literally, when they're like

20:04

telling him about this deal, they're

20:06

literally like, you will become

20:09

wiser, but not more happy if you make

20:11

this decision, which I think is really funny

20:13

for these aliens to be doing. It's awfully

20:15

convenient. Yep. So

20:18

yeah, that's why we don't have the

20:20

exact date that this encounter took place.

20:23

We don't have some of the

20:25

kind of post -encounter stuff that

20:27

you normally had where newspapers jump

20:29

into it and stuff like that.

20:31

We don't have those things because

20:33

he wasn't allowed to do anything

20:35

for real and just had to

20:38

publish this as science fiction. And

20:40

the aliens also told me that

20:42

I had the biggest penis they'd

20:44

ever seen. And it was

20:46

that it was the most beautiful penis on

20:48

earth. But they said

20:50

that if other humans looked at

20:52

it, that they wouldn't be able

20:54

to perceive it correctly. And so

20:56

if you don't, if you don't

20:58

think my penis is beautiful, then

21:00

you're just not as enlightened as

21:03

I am. Basically, yeah. We're here

21:05

to spread a message of peace

21:07

among all people. We're

21:09

here to help Progress

21:11

your society so that

21:13

you can be inducted

21:15

into the Galactic Federation

21:17

where we have elevated

21:19

we have we have

21:21

gone beyond petty things

21:23

like wars also nice

21:25

fucking cock Look at

21:27

that thing and hey

21:30

can't we'll just say

21:32

it pretty good balls

21:34

to man Nicely done

21:36

Good for you. Yeah

21:38

nicely wrinkled The

21:43

closest thing to an actual date

21:45

that I have is that in

21:47

a quote from Wendell Stevens, he

21:50

talks about that the case

21:53

kind of started in July

21:55

of 1967. And

21:57

the book was then

21:59

published in 1969. You

22:03

can kind of assume that

22:05

it took place somewhere in

22:07

the kind of summer of

22:09

1967 in around July and

22:11

So these guys were stoned

22:13

as hell It was the

22:15

60s everybody was smoking grass

22:17

Summer of love type shit,

22:19

right? Like that's where we're

22:21

like thick in it, right?

22:23

Am I remembering my dates?

22:25

I think that would be

22:27

around 1969 I think Yeah,

22:30

so this was the that's when the

22:32

book was published So the actual encounter

22:35

takes place with both a Steph and

22:37

his family so he's got you have

22:39

Steph you have his wife and you

22:42

have I think two children three children

22:44

a couple a couple kids and What's

22:46

funny is he does give his wife

22:48

a name in the book. I don't

22:51

know if if that name is the

22:53

same as his real life wife's name.

22:55

But in the book, she's referred to

22:58

as Miriam. It would be great if

23:00

he used the pseudonym, but he just

23:02

put his wife's full name. That's of

23:04

what I was wondering. If you just

23:07

like, maybe he only refers to him

23:09

by her by the first name, so

23:11

he thought that was enough or whatever.

23:15

But I really should have

23:17

looked up what Adrian Beer's

23:19

wife's name was. I feel

23:21

like Miriam has the biblical

23:23

connection and thus... like

23:26

a pseudonym that's intentionally placed.

23:29

Isn't Miriam the cool connection? You

23:32

know what, I might be thinking of the Prince

23:34

of Egypt, the movie. Isn't

23:36

there like a lady named Miriam, or

23:39

is Miriam like a biblical name? Am

23:41

I off my record? You might have

23:43

some, I can't tell you the character

23:45

names of Prince of Egypt. I have

23:48

no idea. I think

23:50

there's a Miriam in Prince Egypt. I'm sorry. I

23:52

don't think there's a book of Miriam in the

23:54

Bible. I can tell you that much. My

23:57

most hardened memories about

24:00

biblical related stories, it's

24:02

100 % the Prince of Egypt. I

24:05

watched the shit out of that movie.

24:07

Same. I loved it. I've never seen

24:09

it. Honestly, the animation pops off so

24:11

hard you should just watch it. I've

24:14

seen the GIF. Which

24:16

one? The GIF, it

24:18

goes around Tumblr a lot. Is

24:20

it the one? Crossing the sea and

24:22

the whale is in the silhouette.

24:24

Oh, yeah. The water. There's the... That

24:27

goes around. There's the... Have you

24:29

seen the other GIF that like, mashes

24:31

up? I think it's Ramses

24:33

from... From the Prince of Egypt,

24:35

and he's mashed up with like,

24:37

a bunch of other animated characters,

24:39

and it's like, fan fiction, all

24:42

these dudes from different anime. Oh, okay.

24:44

Well, just me then, that's okay. But

24:47

it's like that along seems interesting.

24:49

I don't know how I'd even

24:51

find it, but, uh, you know,

24:53

real safe search off. Yeah. You

24:56

think I've searched on Prince

24:58

of Egypt or Ramses safe

25:01

search off. Oh, it

25:03

maybe it, it might be tied to fan

25:05

fiction or something. So yeah, maybe somebody out

25:07

there might know what I'm talking about. And

25:09

if not, honestly, don't worry about it. So,

25:12

all right. So we have,

25:14

uh, Dutch engineer Stefan Den

25:17

Arde along with his wife and three

25:19

children were out on a boat in

25:21

a yacht in the North Sea near

25:23

a place called Osterheld Bay. I

25:26

guess this is a thing that I

25:28

read. So I had to read basically

25:30

the translation of the entire book to

25:33

like get the full story because most

25:35

places give like a very, very small

25:37

synopsis of it. And so there's a

25:39

lot of little details that stuck out

25:41

to me. A thing

25:44

that is just kind of tossed

25:46

off in the description of where

25:48

they were voting is that this

25:50

took place near Somewhere near a

25:52

military base or like a naval

25:54

base. So like Not that it's

25:56

going to be a hundred percent

25:58

relevant to anything but yeah in

26:01

terms of the running tally of

26:03

how many UFO sightings are on

26:05

or around a Air Force base

26:07

type place Military base you can

26:09

count this one. Well, here's the

26:11

thing I Over

26:13

these many years of talking

26:16

about this stuff. I've become

26:18

way more sympathetic and and

26:20

open to UFO stories and

26:22

and believing certain things If

26:24

I'm being real, but the

26:27

thing is I can't I'm

26:29

I don't really believe in

26:31

the contact experience You know

26:33

of like I met with

26:36

aliens. They told they complimented

26:38

my dick. I can't like

26:40

I still can't really be

26:42

convinced of that stuff. But

26:45

like, if you think about

26:47

it, it's like, sometimes I

26:49

feel like these are sightings that

26:51

then once a story forms around

26:53

it, it gets out of hand.

26:55

I mean, think about the one

26:57

we just talked about with Ernest

26:59

Bryant, where one of the

27:02

possible explanations as to what happened

27:04

is he did see something, but...

27:07

the story got out of hand and

27:09

he started spinning a tail and it

27:11

got out of his control and it

27:13

became a whole mess because of it.

27:16

So sometimes I think maybe a

27:18

contact he did see some sort

27:20

of UFO or something and then

27:23

just a legend built up from

27:25

that maybe. You know, that's kind

27:27

of sometimes. I don't know. I

27:29

don't know. It's an idea.

27:32

It's possible. Like I don't... an

27:34

actual theory on this one sure

27:36

because it like my you know

27:39

other than as Jules plainly said

27:41

earlier. It didn't happen it but

27:43

that Like there's there's there's levels

27:45

of abstraction with this where he

27:48

there's so many ways that he's

27:50

like trying to not give you

27:52

enough detail to like corroborate a

27:55

lot of these things under this

27:57

kind of under this,

27:59

the auspices of the aliens told him not

28:01

to, that it just, the

28:03

whole thing comes off, especially if he then

28:05

went on to try to do some like

28:07

radio interviews and there's like, you can find

28:09

TV interviews about this with him. Anytime

28:13

someone then goes on to be kind

28:15

of a figure of some kind, it

28:17

makes me instantly less likely to

28:20

believe their story. You know? And

28:22

like, you could also think that

28:25

like some of these people are like, I

28:27

am doing Drugs

28:29

and I'm freeing my mind

28:31

during this time and I

28:33

know the the path to

28:35

societal Enlightenment and maybe the

28:37

only way people will listen

28:39

to that is if I

28:41

tell a story this alien

28:43

shit seems to be popular

28:45

People seem to follow that

28:47

But it's also got the

28:49

religious aspect of it. So

28:51

I don't know it's you

28:53

know, who knows anyway the

28:56

actual sighting. So they're all

28:58

out on this family yacht,

29:00

just motoring around this lake.

29:02

Is ACON there? I

29:05

think he might be. And what

29:08

is Michael? No, Michael Bolton's on a different

29:10

one. Fuck you, Michael Bolton's not on a

29:12

boat. The fuck do you think?

29:15

ACON is on a boat. Why would they have ACON

29:17

and Michael? It's a hat on a hat,

29:19

Nile. It's a good thing you never

29:21

wrote for SNL. It is. It's a great thing. I've

29:25

heard it's kind of miserable. I

29:27

kind of want to see Nile

29:29

right for SNL. Actually, hey, we

29:31

might be cooking there. It could

29:33

be very interesting. Can you imagine

29:36

the most deadpan jokes being told

29:38

by what's his name, who

29:40

does the daily Craig Ferguson or whatever his

29:42

name is? I

29:44

don't actually know these guys. Who

29:47

are you talking about? Who's the

29:49

guy that like Sarah Squirm makes fun

29:51

of constantly on the news segment? Colin

29:53

Jost. Colin Jost. Can you imagine Nile

29:56

writing for Colin Jost and how funny

29:58

that would actually be? It actually would

30:00

whip ass. I actually have

30:02

a long standing grudge against Colin Jost.

30:05

I genuinely don't like him. No, I

30:07

don't like him either. That's why I

30:09

like this. I think his weekend update

30:11

is the worst in modern history. Bye.

30:13

A landslide. I think him

30:16

and Che suck and I have opinions

30:18

about SNL. Here's a, not to derail

30:20

us too hard, but we are, we

30:22

are down anemesis. The

30:25

show currently does not have

30:27

anemesis. Adam Sandler has, after

30:30

uncut gems, Kyle didn't feel that was totally

30:32

apt. We started out with lore and none

30:34

of us ever actually listened to lore. So

30:37

we don't. I have no actual opinion on

30:39

that show. Uh, so that

30:41

kind of felt weird after a little bit.

30:43

Um, so maybe, maybe, maybe two

30:45

SNL alums though. It doesn't have to

30:47

be. I mean, it could be convenient.

30:50

SNL, SNL, uh, is an institution

30:53

and because of it, you're going

30:55

to, uh, sometimes they, you're going

30:57

to be more than one cast

31:00

member. Yeah. I have only ever

31:02

seen the call and just segments

31:04

where Sarah squirm is like. accusing

31:07

him of like going to that

31:09

pedophile island and like that he's

31:11

just accusing of the worst possible

31:14

shit. That does make me laugh

31:16

because it's Sarah squirm. I agree.

31:18

She's really funny. I just watched,

31:21

because for the SNL 50th, they

31:23

did a mini documentary about people's

31:25

audition tapes and they showed part

31:28

of her audition. It's so good.

31:30

And she like at one point

31:33

squats down and she says that

31:35

her vagina lips are knocking around

31:37

and getting her knees and she

31:40

starts slapping her knees. I

31:42

was crying laughing and they just showed

31:45

that one little clip. I was like,

31:47

she's got it baby. I hope she

31:49

has nothing but success and that that

31:51

leads her to getting to create her

31:53

own things a la Tim Robinson. I

31:56

literally just said exactly that, not

31:58

10 minutes before we started recording.

32:01

But yeah, if we need a new nemesis, I mean, there's

32:05

so many right

32:07

now. There's just

32:09

throw a fucking dart and you'll hit a

32:11

nemesis right now. It's true. But easily the

32:13

most important one would be Colin Joseph. Colin

32:15

Joseph is probably up there. We could just

32:17

shit on Colin Joseph, but I feel like

32:19

that's kind of, you know, we don't want

32:21

to ape SNL's bit. And that's like already

32:23

been half of what our podcast does. So

32:25

I think that we could like, you know,

32:27

And then there's like the record on Sunday

32:29

mornings so that we can just kind of

32:32

take stuff directly from the previous night's SNL,

32:34

put it directly on the show. totally

32:36

could do that. That could be, that could be good.

32:38

What if we just put some SNL segments in here?

32:40

That would be, that would be a great, that

32:43

would work. I kind of that. You guys just

32:45

going to do sweaty balls? Like you just slice it

32:47

in? When, yes, we're going to

32:49

do next week and we're going to

32:51

announce it. Yeah

32:55

We're gonna preempt it we're gonna be

32:57

like next week you get to hear

32:59

us do the sweaty balls No, you

33:01

guys are gonna do sweaty balls like

33:03

the two of you are gonna Yeah,

33:05

and I'm also gonna I'm gonna take

33:07

this episode where we're announcing it and

33:09

send it directly to Lorne Michaels at

33:11

snl .com CC legal at snl .com

33:14

and then just like let them know,

33:16

you know, I'm gonna email Lorne I'm

33:18

gonna text Lorne Michaels tonight and I'm

33:20

gonna say Motherfucker, I am David

33:22

S. Pumpkins next week, and there's not a goddamn

33:24

thing you can do about it. Any

33:27

questions? Any questions? Bitch. Okay,

33:34

so we haven't even met the aliens yet. Let's

33:38

go ahead and keep going

33:40

here. So this whole encounter

33:42

starts when Steph's son uh,

33:44

notices that the compass is

33:46

not moving anymore and seems

33:48

to be acting strange. Um,

33:52

so they start to notice some

33:54

kind of magnetism type stuff like

33:56

that, leading to eventually, um, them

33:59

actually getting kind of, uh, stuck

34:01

in the water in their position

34:03

because they are magnetically, the whole

34:06

of the boat is stuck to

34:08

something. Okay. And

34:10

as like this, this is starting,

34:13

There's this this like beam of blue

34:15

light that's like a search light that

34:18

is Occasionally passing across the the boat

34:20

that they're on and so in trying

34:22

to figure out what this light is

34:24

Steven Set notices something adrift in the

34:27

water a little ways away And so

34:29

as soon as it gets close enough

34:31

for him to realize that that seems

34:34

to be some kind of body He

34:36

dives into the water and tries to

34:38

save this drowning person. Mmm a hero

34:41

you might call him. Yeah, you might

34:43

call him that uh and and the

34:45

aliens eventually will find out uh because

34:48

he as he gets closer to this

34:50

thing he realizes that it's in some

34:52

sort of like suit and it's also

34:54

not not normal human uh and it

34:57

kind of freaks him out but he

34:59

he is like pulling it towards the

35:01

boat and kind of wanting to get

35:04

on the boat but then another being

35:06

that looks the same as this thing

35:08

kind of stops

35:10

him from fully getting the thing

35:13

into his boat and this begins

35:15

the actual encounter. How stops him?

35:18

Just starts talking to him. He like

35:20

comes up to him literally doing the

35:22

like fucking I'm in reading this I

35:24

literally imagine this alien doing the fucking

35:26

Chris Pratt Jurassic World thing where he's

35:28

like got his hands out not to

35:30

spook him because in the book it's

35:32

described as this like he's making very

35:35

friendly gestures and to try to not

35:37

spook. I was fam honestly my mind

35:39

went to like this almost feels like

35:41

a The beginning of a plot of

35:43

like a twilight zone of like a

35:45

person's out on a boat and boat

35:47

Suddenly freezes and they find an alien

35:49

being in the water feels a little

35:51

twilight zone in a way Or maybe

35:53

they don't reveal that it's an alien

35:56

until later like that's the twist But

35:58

then like because I was already in

36:00

black and white in my mind I

36:02

then sort of pictured like day the

36:04

air stood still gort coming out of

36:06

the ship Gort claw to barata nicto

36:08

type That's where my

36:10

mind went. All

36:13

right. So where'd

36:15

your mind go, Jules? I

36:19

was genuinely picturing Wonder Woman,

36:21

the first Wonder Woman movie with Chris

36:24

passing out in the water and he

36:26

wakes up in a world like that.

36:28

I was like, I was like a reverse Wonder Woman.

36:31

Because in Wonder Woman, the alien saves the

36:33

guy. But in this, the guy was trying

36:36

to save an alien. Okay, yeah, so it's

36:38

a reverse Wonder Woman. a reverse

36:40

Wonder Woman? Yeah, so we call it a reverse

36:42

Wonder Woman situation. Hey,

36:46

I'm not happy with myself either. You

36:51

asked. So

36:56

this creature that is kind

36:59

of talking to him starts

37:01

to use this thing attached

37:04

to its hand to communicate.

37:07

It like so it seems to

37:09

be putting out kind of rudimentary

37:12

English through this box on its

37:14

hand. Although later it switches closer

37:16

to telepathic communication once like they

37:19

get in the ship. So they

37:21

have these kind of couple of

37:23

ways of talking. But

37:26

it starts with this kind of box thing on

37:28

its hand. And it

37:31

they. This being starts to talk

37:33

about how they're from a planet

37:35

called Yerga, which is located approximately

37:37

10 light years away from Earth

37:39

in the Epsilon Eridani star system.

37:41

And he's like, what's in the

37:43

box in the aliens like pain?

37:47

Exactly. I can, I

37:49

have such sights to show you. It

37:51

was a dude thing, but that also

37:53

makes perfect sense. So that's, that's okay.

37:56

Yeah. What's

37:58

funny is I clocked exactly what Kyle was

38:00

doing and then exactly what you were going

38:02

to think it was in real time and

38:04

it played out and it was really fun.

38:08

It's fun to just be an audience member sometimes.

38:10

Niles is a bit of a pinhead and I'm a bit

38:13

of a Queesad's Hatterack. It's fine. I

38:15

did listen to a podcast

38:17

ranking the Hellraiser filmography yesterday.

38:20

So it's a little fresh on my mind. one is

38:22

the first one, I'm guessing. Yep. I heard this new

38:24

one was good, and I need to watch that. We

38:26

can't do this. This is an world of weird. Fuck,

38:28

sorry, go ahead. I thought it

38:30

was just on your mind because you love

38:32

to explore the precipice between pleasure and pain

38:34

and all life. I mean, that's also just

38:36

my favorite who doesn't after work activity. If

38:39

you out there have - You have your

38:41

dick in a cage right now. That's true.

38:43

Yup. It's off camera.

38:45

Because aliens kept fucking coming down and

38:47

complimenting it. And you're

38:49

like, I can't have all this attention. Let me

38:51

lock this away. This is too much. Oh, this

38:53

is kind of nice. I kind of like what

38:55

this is doing for me. It's

38:58

kind of a tinfoil hat for your dick.

39:00

Yeah. It's like a tinfoil hat for your

39:02

dick. It keeps the aliens from my penis.

39:10

Oh, God. All right.

39:12

It keeps your dick from getting

39:14

Havana syndrome. Oh

39:17

my God, babe. I'm sorry. This never

39:19

happens. But I will tell you, I

39:21

normally wear a little tin

39:24

foil cage to protect so that the

39:26

aliens can't make me come early. Someone

39:32

premature ejaculating and blaming Havana

39:35

syndrome. Of

39:37

course, I

39:40

come fast.

39:42

I've got

39:45

Havana syndrome.

39:52

That's a t -shirt. Oh, fuck. Oh,

39:55

all right. So,

39:57

oh God, they're in the,

39:59

these beings are in effectively

40:01

like spacesuits with like, like

40:03

literally they describe it as

40:05

like a Batman utility belt.

40:09

It's described as like a gold belt with

40:11

various fixtures and pouches attached to it and

40:13

something that resembles a pistol on the hip.

40:16

Although I don't think we ever find out

40:18

what that actually is. Batman. So

40:21

but in the in the descriptions in

40:24

the images that are in Stephen's book

40:26

He has he hires a guy to

40:28

do illustrations. So there's like it's it's

40:31

cool that there are illustrations from the

40:33

quote primary source of this thing instead

40:35

of like only having stuff people try

40:38

to draw on the internet like 30

40:40

years later. Yeah, yeah But they're they're

40:42

literally they literally look like Like

40:45

spacesuits with Batman belts with

40:48

like a big globe head

40:50

and the little little mr.

40:52

Freezy a little yeah, honestly,

40:55

but a little blockier They're

40:57

a little stockier because another

40:59

side effect of Yerga is

41:02

that it has a heavier

41:04

atmosphere sure so they're kind

41:06

of squatter and and a

41:09

bit more you know Chunky

41:11

looking I guess so They

41:15

also... No, I'll get into that later. Sorry,

41:17

I keep getting ahead of myself because there's

41:19

just a bunch of little things about this

41:21

that are really entertaining. It's hard not to

41:23

with some of these stories. Yeah.

41:26

So basically as

41:28

a... Once it's kind

41:31

of revealed that these are aliens and

41:33

the other alien is talking to Steven

41:35

the actual like ship comes up out

41:37

of the water Which is what the

41:40

Utsurabune connection probably is you're right and

41:42

the thing that's interesting about this is

41:44

that In this case, he describes there

41:46

being a lot of sound with the

41:48

UFO in a way that I feel

41:51

is very antithetical to a lot of

41:53

other UFO encounters that are usually described

41:55

as like silent or having this very

41:57

small hum. Anti -gravity, so they don't

41:59

actually produce noise or whatever. But

42:02

this one makes, as far as I can

42:05

tell, a lot of noise as it's doing

42:07

stuff. Okay, interesting. And

42:10

so eventually, uh

42:13

multiple of these creatures come out

42:15

of the the the craft and

42:18

we get to the actual like

42:20

um the the deal effectively where

42:22

as they want the aliens want

42:25

to give steven some sort of

42:27

prize or reward for saving their

42:30

co -horse life um And

42:33

they originally say, like, we'll give you

42:35

this box that's made of a kind

42:37

of metal alloy that's like a superconductor

42:39

and the current can only go one

42:41

way. And it looks kind of like

42:44

a puzzle box, but don't solve it.

42:46

Don't you dare. That would

42:48

you it? Unleash

42:50

a personal hell on earth. Yeah.

42:54

But it's like... basically it's a super

42:56

special metal that all their ships are

42:58

made out of and we don't have

43:00

it on earth and it's so technologically

43:02

advanced But it would basically just be

43:04

It would be quote proof of contact

43:06

So he would actually have a physical

43:08

thing that he could take to people

43:10

but he's not allowed to show it

43:12

No, he would in this case if

43:14

he just took the box he would

43:16

be allowed to show it to be

43:18

oh And he would have proof that

43:20

he met aliens Why

43:23

do they have a Patreon tier

43:25

system? I don't

43:27

know why they decided to haggle

43:29

with this man. It is really

43:31

weird. It's one of the

43:33

things about this that I find really fascinating,

43:35

the choices he makes. If you pay five

43:38

more dollars, you get a free t -shirt.

43:40

What are you talking about? Motherfuckers

43:42

making difficult decisions at

43:45

the item get point

43:47

of a roguelike is

43:49

what's happening. So

43:52

you either get the proof of aliens

43:54

that you can take to the world

43:57

and change humanity, or you can come

43:59

with us for two days and learn

44:01

a bunch about our society, and

44:04

we'll answer all of your questions,

44:06

or not all of them, we'll

44:08

answer a bunch of your questions

44:10

about their civilization and kind of

44:12

the kind of, a

44:14

lot of their kind of philosophies

44:17

of their civilization. And

44:20

he, of course, chooses the latter after consulting

44:22

with his family. But

44:24

so part of that you're saying is that if

44:26

we do that, you're not allowed to tell them

44:28

certain things that we tell you. Correct. You're not

44:30

allowed to. Do they say how they'll enforce that?

44:34

No. Interesting.

44:36

It's just a gentleman's agreement. They don't

44:39

say anything, but there's a dick cage

44:41

in clear view. Yeah.

44:44

Yeah. It's those things on their

44:46

holsters. It's implied. Yeah. They've got

44:48

the dick death ray cage going

44:51

on on the side of the

44:53

thing. And that's why he decided

44:55

to go with them. They pulled

44:57

up a blasphemy set. If you

45:00

tell anybody about this, we'll blow

45:02

off your perfect dick. Your perfect

45:04

cock. All right.

45:06

So he of course chooses to

45:09

go on the ship. And what's

45:11

interesting is his entire family seems

45:13

to go on the ship with

45:15

him, but then only he does

45:17

the seminar. And so

45:19

I - Seems a little unfair. It's

45:23

not fully clear how

45:25

much his family, like

45:28

they see the encounter, they're around for this stuff.

45:30

Cause like the, that whole thing that I described

45:33

about him saving the people and like the craftgump,

45:35

that takes place over the course of hours. Like

45:37

they're out there for quite a while. So they

45:39

saw all this go down. Yeah.

45:42

And it's, so

45:44

I don't, I'm not fully certain what, the

45:46

rest of the family has to do with

45:49

anything. Because after this, it just becomes about

45:51

him. Yeah, because well, so what's going to

45:53

happen is they're going to take him on

45:55

a space adventure for two days, which is

45:57

going to translate to like 14 years on

46:00

earth. And the family is just going to

46:02

be trapped on the boat and they'll all

46:04

pass away. Yeah, there you

46:06

go. Which movie? Was it Zegra where

46:08

the kids get taken up on the

46:11

ship with their uncle or whatever the

46:13

fuck? I think so. We're watching a

46:15

Gamera movie. Oh, yeah. But

46:18

where the uncle and the dad, like

46:20

they pass out within two minutes of

46:22

being up on the ship. So then

46:24

it's just the kids running around seeing

46:27

everything. And then the lady alien is

46:29

like, I have to kill those kids.

46:31

And the whole movie becomes about her

46:33

having to murder these children because they've

46:35

seen too much. I

46:37

get that vibe from this. Yeah,

46:41

there's some of that, but these

46:43

aliens, I guess all

46:45

the threats are implied. Yeah,

46:48

they're not announcing that they're gonna murder

46:50

children like that chick was yeah that

46:52

movie. I mean there's a that's a

46:54

mystery science theater Yeah, they did it's

46:56

one of the cameras that they did

46:58

from the the show era highly recommend

47:00

it's a fun time Today is actually

47:02

Joel Hodgson's birthday. Happy birthday Joel Does

47:04

that give away when we're recording? Do

47:07

you not like to pull back the

47:09

curtain? Oh, it doesn't matter. We

47:11

joke about it, but we say it so

47:13

often, like we date these things so quickly,

47:16

so often that it's, I can't. Well, it's

47:18

Joel birthday. Joel Hodgson has a birthday every

47:20

year. True. You're

47:28

right. Thank you. So. Also

47:30

throughout this he had he supposedly had

47:32

a camera that he was using to

47:35

take some pictures And of course as

47:37

part of the agreement he was not

47:39

allowed to keep this film and everything

47:41

so he the pictures are gone Yeah,

47:44

so He gets to come on and

47:46

do this fucking because and another thing

47:48

that a detail that I really liked

47:50

was you might ask why two days

47:53

well Niall, why two days?

47:56

I'm so glad you asked you. Such a

47:58

great question. The font did ask this. They

48:00

need to rest. That

48:02

would make some sense, but no.

48:05

The justification is that that is the

48:07

minimal amount of time that they can

48:09

communicate the amount of information that they

48:11

need to transmit to him for him

48:13

to actually have an understanding of their

48:15

society. So the minimum amount of like

48:18

Getting getting info has to be at

48:20

least two days with this alien race

48:22

because there's the society is just so

48:25

Complicated and important and advanced. Yeah Now

48:27

I read all I read everything. They

48:29

supposedly told him in an hour. So

48:31

I don't know why it took two

48:33

days But that's that's that's my editorializing,

48:35

you know, we live in a society

48:38

and I'm still trying to figure that

48:40

shit out. Yeah Well

48:42

supposedly they have it all figured

48:44

out and we they he really

48:46

gets kind of the lowdown on

48:48

how you raise yourself up to

48:50

be a society worthy of being

48:53

part of this galactic civilization. Because

48:55

he doesn't reference like the actual,

48:57

there's that, the Karshev scale or

49:00

whatever it's called. He doesn't reference

49:02

that specifically about like the levels

49:04

of society in... that you can

49:06

go up to to be part

49:08

of like a galactic civilization. But

49:11

he might as well. Like it's it's

49:13

it's that kind of thing where all

49:15

of these other alien races are out

49:17

there and they all know about each

49:19

other. And the reason we don't know

49:21

is because we're not advanced enough. We

49:23

still have too much selfishness. We still

49:25

have too much, you know, all of

49:27

the isms, your racism, your

49:29

sexism. The women are are we

49:31

talk about them here now. It's

49:34

it's a very 60s level of progressivism

49:36

on the on the sex let me

49:39

guess Here's what we have to do

49:41

to make a great society Nuclear family

49:43

family conservative values traditional roles for women.

49:46

Is that what these aliens are gonna

49:48

tell him not it? Not exactly. No,

49:50

it's it's a little it's a little

49:53

different than that But it's not it's

49:55

not entirely is it? Are these those

49:57

are these those fucking the bra

50:00

burning aliens. I'm so sick

50:02

of those broads. Yeah. Uh,

50:06

I guess, I guess they do

50:08

technically usually just wear lower level,

50:10

like lower clothing. Uh,

50:13

they don't burn the bras, but I don't

50:16

think they wear them. These aliens have their

50:18

tits out. Oh, they don't really have a

50:20

lot of, no wonder they put his dick

50:22

in a cage. Yeah. They

50:25

just sex isn't important to

50:27

them as I'm getting so

50:29

far ahead of myself, but

50:31

I do know about the

50:33

sexual politics of the argons

50:36

Well, basically sex doesn't

50:38

feel really good for them, so

50:40

they don't value it as highly

50:42

as we do pressing and It's

50:44

not something that's really that important

50:46

outside of procreation, which is just

50:48

like one thing you can do

50:51

as part of a jargon society. So

50:53

like not everybody is having children, but

50:55

everyone in the culture works together to

50:57

raise the children when you live in

50:59

these like, dents. These,

51:02

okay. These aliens,

51:04

for anyone who's ever seen or read

51:07

any Judge Dredd, these aliens basically live

51:09

in apartment buildings from Judge Dredd, but

51:11

they're circles. It's like 6

51:13

,000 people stacked on top of each

51:15

other in this building. These

51:18

massive like, circular, buildings

51:21

with apartments and everyone is just

51:23

supposedly very equal and has the

51:26

same access to You know all

51:28

things in society have equal access

51:30

So it's all very similar amongst

51:33

everybody so They just live on

51:35

top of each other in these

51:37

very tight -knit communities. There is

51:40

still family units, but they're not

51:42

as Not as individualized they're a

51:44

bit more You just, you know

51:47

who your parents are and you

51:49

value them, but you're raised by

51:52

the community. You know? Yeah.

51:55

Sorry. I just, I still can't get

51:57

over the whole sex has less value

51:59

because it doesn't feel good for them

52:02

thing. Like, do you think,

52:04

do you think beers like demonstrated for them?

52:06

Like, yo, check this shit out, brother. Like

52:08

with that is perfect dick. He

52:10

starts jerking it off to completion. Oh, this

52:12

feels so good. we love this. love this.

52:14

And they're like, he like finishes and the

52:17

alien just like, yeah, we know about it.

52:19

It just doesn't do anything for us. Have

52:21

you ever tried it like this? And he

52:23

just starts like, you know, doing all sorts

52:25

of stuff. Uh, it goes over hand. I

52:27

don't know. Uh, so.

52:30

Goes over hand. Yeah.

52:36

All right. So,

52:39

um, He

52:41

basically, this two

52:43

-day seminar is effectively, he's

52:46

in front of this really

52:48

advanced screen that's based on

52:50

radiation, I guess, because the

52:52

radiation transmits the information as

52:54

well. So it's not like

52:57

it's a tour where there's

52:59

a narration. He's

53:01

just experiencing these in super

53:03

life. I basically imagine it

53:06

as the fucking spaceship Earth

53:10

What was the Neil deGrasse Tyson show?

53:12

There was a reboot cosmos. Cosmos. Yeah,

53:14

it's it I imagine him basically in

53:16

a yeah in the Cosmos ship just

53:19

like zooming around Yerga Looking at things,

53:21

you know because that's the vibe it

53:23

gives off in the book. I'm not

53:25

kidding You can find the full text

53:28

of this book for free online by

53:30

the way like it's it's very available

53:32

as a PDF So you

53:34

can read it for yourself. Flying

53:36

around in that thing and like looking at

53:38

the droids that these aliens have, and he's

53:40

like, oh, if R2 -D2 exist in real

53:42

life, he wouldn't move like that. That's

53:45

true. BB -8 wouldn't be able

53:47

to move like that across the sand. The sand would

53:49

get caught in its joints. All

53:53

right, so.

53:57

He's a nemesis. He

53:59

is a nemesis in a way. He's

54:01

been, I feel like a long standing

54:03

one. We do, we do shit all

54:06

over again. It's just fun to shit

54:08

on Neil deGrasse Tyson. That's just for

54:10

funsies. We'll do a coin flip. Neil

54:12

deGrasse Tyson tails heads, Lorne Michaels. I'm

54:15

like, no, Lorne Michaels is okay.

54:17

Okay. Don't, don't come off. Don't

54:19

come for his wig. Cause he's okay. It doesn't

54:21

mean he can't be a nemesis. That's actually, that's

54:23

very true. Yeah. He knows what he did. I

54:26

mean, he did ban Elvis Castello from

54:28

SNL for a good chunk of change,

54:30

a good chunk of time. Okay

54:35

Another part that he learns so

54:37

a lot of this is just

54:39

the rest of this whole like

54:41

long chapter is just him taking

54:43

basically a guided tour of Yerga

54:45

and them just explaining their their

54:47

society and And they're like social

54:50

mechanics to him, which is like

54:52

it's something that you don't They

54:54

I feel like I've gotten in

54:56

one or two other UFO encounters

54:58

where it really just goes deep

55:00

on like how their society works

55:02

But like most the time I

55:04

feel like it focuses a lot

55:06

more on like space and shit

55:09

like they take you around to

55:11

different planets, but this one they're

55:13

just like here's like How are

55:15

fucking trains work? Here's like how

55:17

people here's like how people go

55:19

about their day -to -day lives

55:21

on Yaga, which is Honestly kind

55:23

of interesting so

55:27

We he gets detail on they

55:29

have these super fast trains that

55:32

go across everywhere. They just like

55:34

they cross the globe They travel

55:36

way faster than bullet trains almost

55:38

as fast as the actual spaceships

55:41

themselves And they also have like

55:43

a multi -tier system where there's

55:45

roads underneath all of the and

55:47

around the the train tracks So

55:49

there there's also automobiles, but they're

55:52

all like on the same tracks

55:54

that are so He gets into

55:56

trying to, like, take some of

55:58

the ideas from YARGA and bring

56:01

them to Earth. And so they

56:03

start talking about, like, the

56:06

yield of factories and stuff on YARGA

56:08

versus how we have it and, like,

56:10

the economy and everything. And

56:13

they say that for,

56:15

like, in 1969,

56:18

or whenever this was published, they

56:21

say, like, Billions of dollars of

56:23

earth money would only be able to get

56:25

them get us approximately three miles of this

56:28

train system. And it

56:30

would like that that's a that's how

56:32

expensive and how crazy these things are

56:34

because they're built to last hundreds of

56:37

years because as a post scarcity society.

56:39

They think in the longevity of human

56:41

of alien existence as opposed to only

56:44

thinking about the next like three years

56:46

like we do on America on earth

56:48

you know. So all

56:50

of their shit is built to

56:53

last and their society is functioning

56:55

is built around having things that

56:57

are built so well that they

57:00

don't degrade in and don't need

57:02

repairs these Aliens would lose their

57:04

shit if they knew about the

57:06

life cycle of smartphones. Yeah They

57:09

they would fucking hate us A

57:13

bit that I love to do when we're

57:15

watching wrestling is to say, if I was

57:17

a wrestler, my gimmick would just be that

57:19

I win matches. Oh,

57:22

me, I'm the guy who wins matches. And

57:24

so you can't pin me cause I win.

57:26

I feel like a lot of this is

57:28

like, and the alien said

57:30

they made it out of good material,

57:33

the kind that lasts a long time.

57:35

Cause it's good. So they, they got,

57:37

they have metal that's better. They have

57:39

super metal. Yeah. Their metal is very

57:41

good. And so It lasts a lot

57:43

longer than our bad earth metal. That's

57:45

what you have to understand. I'm the

57:47

alien with the perfect society. Yeah,

57:49

exactly. It's a lot of... Oh, my society?

57:51

There's nothing wrong with it. Oh,

57:54

this society? Oh,

57:59

God. The Joker would have something

58:01

to say about that. So,

58:04

Yaga as a whole is more

58:06

than twice the size of earth

58:08

and has... effective gravity, larger oceans,

58:10

plant and animal life. But

58:14

the land mass on

58:16

YARGA is only approximately

58:18

equal to the area

58:21

of Australia. So

58:23

it's a lot of oceans that

58:25

they have to cross with these

58:27

trains. Hence the ocean traveling UFO.

58:30

And also, hence, why jargons are

58:32

supposedly descended from amphibious creatures, which

58:34

is factored into how they present

58:36

here and how they look here,

58:38

which we'll get into now. They

58:42

are bipedal. They're

58:45

slightly shorter than humans and have a,

58:47

quote, thick midframe with longer arms and

58:49

fast reflexes. This is a

58:51

detail that they talked about that I

58:54

don't entirely, I kind of get what

58:56

they're going for here, but... they have

58:58

fast reflexes that allow them to survive

59:00

three -foot falls that could have the

59:02

same impact as a four -foot or

59:05

higher fall on earth So basically they're

59:07

they they're just they're like just a

59:09

little bit better than us, you know,

59:11

but can But if you knock toss

59:13

one of them out the top of

59:16

one of those six thousand person buildings

59:18

They hit the ground with like triple

59:20

the impact we would have on earth

59:25

Have you ever seen there was

59:27

a I saw it on tiktok

59:29

back when I was on there

59:31

There was this group people that

59:34

had this like monkey gel toy

59:36

That they would drop from increasingly

59:38

high heights in their apartment building

59:40

and it would splat in this

59:42

really like Thin satisfying spread out

59:44

way. That's what I'm picturing. Yeah,

59:46

it feels a lot like that

59:48

But a way more, you know

59:51

alien blood. Yeah Just

59:55

a mist that they have They

59:57

have very strange heads. They have

59:59

like This kind of bony ridge

1:00:01

across the top of the head

1:00:04

that makes almost like a mohawk

1:00:06

or kind of Finn, you know

1:00:08

Klingons they have But then the

1:00:11

face I can best describe I

1:00:13

did hear that and you're not

1:00:15

entirely wrong It the face looks

1:00:17

like a very smushed horse face

1:00:20

to me It's a very

1:00:22

kind of like small like segmented face.

1:00:24

It almost looks like You fucked up

1:00:26

on the character creator and two things

1:00:28

that you're adjusting kind of clipped over

1:00:31

each other because it has this like

1:00:33

secondary smaller portion where all the facial

1:00:35

features are and then like there's like

1:00:37

a ridge with like a gap and

1:00:39

then like the head okay, so it's

1:00:41

Perfect society, but we look like shit

1:00:44

a little bit. Yeah, we look like

1:00:46

shit and we hate to fuck Not

1:00:50

perfect, I guess. So

1:00:53

they also, instead of having actual

1:00:55

teeth, they have just like a

1:00:57

solid row of like a tooth

1:00:59

up on the bottom and on

1:01:01

the top. So

1:01:03

it's just like a solid like ridge in

1:01:06

their mouths. They also

1:01:08

have partly webbed skin between

1:01:10

their fingers, which helps them

1:01:13

swim. Honestly,

1:01:19

you know what they look like. There's

1:01:22

that race of really kind of

1:01:24

squat, beefy guys on Doctor Who

1:01:26

that are always in a space

1:01:28

suit and have this kind of

1:01:31

dome fucking head coming out of

1:01:33

there. They look not

1:01:35

entirely dissimilar from that. Anyway,

1:01:38

are you talking about the like war faring

1:01:40

race of guys? Yeah. Yeah. I know exactly

1:01:42

what you're talking about. They definitely look like

1:01:44

shit and hate to fuck. Yeah. You've nailed

1:01:46

it. They're too busy fighting war to fuck.

1:01:49

Yeah. However, these people are post war.

1:01:51

They don't they don't need it anymore.

1:01:54

They they have solved society and have

1:01:56

a have like a board of a

1:01:58

full on utopia. They also were very

1:02:00

supposedly polite to denared who this is

1:02:02

this is OK. All of

1:02:05

the descriptions talk about them as

1:02:07

being very polite and I think

1:02:09

that You can read it that

1:02:11

way the way that I was

1:02:13

reading this book it really felt

1:02:15

almost more like The way that

1:02:17

you can't be mad at a

1:02:19

child Like the way they're talking

1:02:21

to him is like someone who's

1:02:23

frustrated by a child but knows

1:02:25

they can't be mad at that

1:02:27

child and so they're like being

1:02:29

very measured and being kind of

1:02:31

overly explaining the things they're saying

1:02:33

and uh You know It feels

1:02:35

like as soon as the aliens

1:02:37

leave the room with him there's

1:02:39

like fuck that guy's dense like

1:02:41

that's how it feels reading this

1:02:43

book I don't I don't know

1:02:45

if that's how I mean that's

1:02:47

that's a little that kind that

1:02:49

fits though, right like that kind

1:02:52

of fits especially Like the teacher

1:02:54

alien that's trying to elevate your

1:02:56

society or whatever, right? Yeah, especially

1:02:58

because Steven kind of argues with

1:03:00

them. He's one of the first

1:03:02

people in his UFO encounter that

1:03:04

I've come across that kind of

1:03:06

talks back to the aliens and

1:03:08

is a bit, almost a bit

1:03:10

of a brat. It's really weird.

1:03:13

Yeah, because they start talking

1:03:15

all about how they have effectively

1:03:17

have removed the need for money

1:03:19

in their society and everything and

1:03:21

how they're... Everyone has what they

1:03:23

need and all like all of

1:03:25

that kind of utopic stuff and

1:03:27

he he's like, but I but

1:03:29

I own businesses What do you

1:03:31

talk like it? How how is

1:03:33

that okay that and they're just

1:03:35

like Well, if you were smart

1:03:37

you would realize that this is

1:03:39

the better way to go and

1:03:41

the way you work sucks But

1:03:43

at one point he's they're asking

1:03:45

him about his religion and he

1:03:47

says that he's Catholic and then

1:03:49

like they go a little bit

1:03:52

more and they literally go Well,

1:03:54

with all the things that you

1:03:57

believe, how can you call yourself

1:03:59

a Catholic? They literally are like,

1:04:01

you are too selfish to embody

1:04:03

the religion, you supposedly. They

1:04:06

start kind of reading them for filth a

1:04:08

little bit at various points throughout the book,

1:04:10

which is kind of entertaining to read. I

1:04:13

feel like that is a very typical

1:04:15

trope in 60s sci -fi, though, is

1:04:17

like guy with a politician's haircut. talks

1:04:20

to the communist aliens like they're stupid

1:04:22

because capitalism is the holy way. Like,

1:04:25

what do you mean you don't exchange

1:04:27

money for goods and services? And he's

1:04:29

like in their space clothes and they're

1:04:31

being totally hospitable to him and he's

1:04:33

being a dickhead. You're not wrong. Yeah.

1:04:35

That guy is in like every sci

1:04:38

-fi movie from the sixties. Yeah. Yeah.

1:04:40

It's definitely, it definitely feels like that.

1:04:43

Yeah. But like the

1:04:45

the biggest thing that they kind

1:04:47

of harp on as they go

1:04:49

through that is kind of the

1:04:51

foundation for their society is this

1:04:53

idea of this kind of societal

1:04:55

morality based around three concepts justice efficiency

1:04:57

and freedom and they Talk about

1:04:59

these all well they talk about the

1:05:02

first two in pretty great detail

1:05:04

freedom kind of gets thrown in

1:05:06

around them like it's They don't talk

1:05:08

about them all in detail. I'll

1:05:10

say that it's it's it's a

1:05:12

Efficiency, you get down because their factories

1:05:14

are really good and they all

1:05:16

only have to work better. Well,

1:05:20

because what you're not wrong

1:05:22

because effectively they have all

1:05:24

of the production of goods

1:05:26

is handled by a couple

1:05:29

companies effectively that are like

1:05:31

owned by the government and

1:05:33

like or in couldn't it

1:05:35

working with the government because

1:05:38

the government is almost on

1:05:40

a volunteer basis. their

1:05:42

whole thing is based around like people

1:05:44

should be able to uh, we all

1:05:46

have to work in these various ways

1:05:48

to for the collective good and so

1:05:50

people can kind of work where they

1:05:52

want to and one of those things

1:05:54

just happens to be like ruling the

1:05:56

nation um, but also like you can

1:05:59

choose to either go work and make

1:06:01

cars at the power at the plant

1:06:03

or like you know head up society

1:06:05

uh or have kids or uh

1:06:07

do the thing that I was

1:06:09

talking about earlier about how they're

1:06:11

like a weird kind of 60s

1:06:13

progressive is uh some women do

1:06:15

do housework but they only need

1:06:18

to do house it counts to

1:06:20

the same total so like if

1:06:22

everyone has to work for three

1:06:24

hours a day just as like

1:06:26

part of society housework counts as

1:06:28

that so you know there's still

1:06:30

women do still do that more

1:06:32

but are Only

1:06:34

have to do it three hours a

1:06:36

day knew it. I I But women

1:06:38

can do other things too They just

1:06:41

have to do you don't hear work

1:06:43

also some of the short no not

1:06:45

also it's like it's they pick they

1:06:47

can pick oh And some men do

1:06:50

housework, but like they didn't get too

1:06:52

deep in on that like it it

1:06:54

was very It was very vaguely progressive,

1:06:56

but not super specific, you know? So

1:06:59

you get slotted into a role if

1:07:01

you're like, I like doing housework. That's

1:07:03

one of your roles. This motherfucker just

1:07:05

accidentally like tripped and fell into a

1:07:08

little bit of Plato's Republic. Like, I

1:07:10

would love though for him to, do

1:07:13

these aliens have like, what do they mean

1:07:15

by justice and freedom? It's kind of an

1:07:17

important question, because that seems complicated, right? That

1:07:19

seems like a complicated fucking, it

1:07:21

sounds like whoever's writing this. Might

1:07:24

stain it with their own version

1:07:26

of those ideas. Yeah,

1:07:28

it's just throwing that out there

1:07:30

Yeah, you could definitely You could

1:07:32

say that it turns into a

1:07:35

bit of a Especially towards the

1:07:37

end of the book it turns

1:07:39

into a bit of a soapbox

1:07:41

Um, of course so okay, they

1:07:43

don't they they never they don't

1:07:46

do a thing where they say

1:07:48

to us equality or to us

1:07:50

justice is this. They say justice

1:07:52

is important and then talk about

1:07:54

how things in society work around,

1:07:57

quote, justice, which is they talk

1:07:59

about how it's not just for

1:08:01

people to be able to have

1:08:03

a lot more than other people.

1:08:05

So that's why they have this

1:08:08

kind of equal. Everyone

1:08:11

has the same access

1:08:13

to goods, services, various

1:08:16

Aspects of society you have equal access,

1:08:19

but then certain jobs you get slightly

1:08:21

more Access to certain like they're they

1:08:23

keep saying they're entirely equal everyone has

1:08:26

the same to do these things But

1:08:28

certain things I guess that are thought

1:08:30

of as harder or whatever you get

1:08:33

slightly more award for doing them, but

1:08:35

anyone can do them It it's one

1:08:37

of those things basically a lot of

1:08:40

their stuff sounds good when you like

1:08:42

write it down But if

1:08:44

you start to try to think

1:08:46

of how this would function on

1:08:48

an overall societal level, it requires

1:08:50

a lot of fucking leaps to

1:08:53

make actual sense. I love when

1:08:55

someone writes something like this because

1:08:57

like, if we're willing

1:08:59

to take as writ that this

1:09:01

dude made this shit up, he's

1:09:04

essentially writing a manifesto of what

1:09:06

he thinks society, a good society

1:09:08

would be. But it's also like,

1:09:10

He doesn't have enough of a

1:09:13

grasp of certain things. So

1:09:15

he's like, and everything is equal. And

1:09:17

then he realizes that certain things are

1:09:19

harder than other things. And he goes,

1:09:21

well, unless you do harder work, cause

1:09:23

then you get extra. It's like, it's

1:09:26

such a little kid making up the

1:09:28

rules as he goes. Like. And

1:09:30

then when we play this, you go over

1:09:32

there and then you realize like, oh, he

1:09:35

can't go stand over there. Oh, so, but

1:09:37

then in this round of the game, what

1:09:39

you do is you stand over here. It's

1:09:41

just like, you're just, you're making this up.

1:09:43

Yeah. There is a lot of that where

1:09:46

it's, it feels like there, there's

1:09:48

this kind of collaborative making it

1:09:50

up as the book goes along,

1:09:53

you know? It's, it's, it's, yeah.

1:09:55

You know, here's, this is what's

1:09:57

dawning on me with all these

1:09:59

alien contact stories about the alien

1:10:01

societies and how they craft a

1:10:04

perfect society are you are both

1:10:06

of you familiar with what Republic

1:10:08

like Plato's Republic is about I

1:10:10

think I Not well enough to

1:10:12

constantly say anything. It's literally just

1:10:14

Socrates and a bunch of other

1:10:17

guys are like talking and they're

1:10:19

like what is justice and they

1:10:21

start talking about what they think

1:10:23

justice is and everybody starts in

1:10:25

Socrates is like that's cool, but

1:10:28

you're giving examples I want to

1:10:30

know what the thing itself is

1:10:32

like what what is justice the

1:10:34

thing and they're like oh fuck

1:10:36

I don't know so they said

1:10:39

like 300 pages Going back and

1:10:41

forth Discoursing about how to craft

1:10:43

the perfect society Mm -hmm, and

1:10:45

that's the only way they're able

1:10:47

to get to starting to talk

1:10:49

about a definition of what justice

1:10:52

might be And so

1:10:54

that's what these fucking people are

1:10:56

doing. Is they're just doing that,

1:10:58

but stupider. Yeah,

1:11:01

you're not wrong. You

1:11:04

get a mixture of architectural

1:11:06

tour and technological demonstration mixed

1:11:09

with that. That is what

1:11:11

this book is. It is

1:11:13

them trying to spin out

1:11:16

an entire society. And

1:11:18

by them, I mean one guy,

1:11:20

Adrian Beers. And

1:11:24

you know, it's just so that and

1:11:26

then the second book he gets into

1:11:28

channeling and starts to like I Guess

1:11:31

really enforce a lot of religious stuff

1:11:33

it it it really spins off so

1:11:35

you're saying we can do a part

1:11:38

too about his channeling his his channeling

1:11:40

circuit that he presume I'm assuming he

1:11:42

went I I don't I didn't read

1:11:45

a lot on his second book because

1:11:47

this was so There was so much

1:11:49

to cover in the first thing. So

1:11:51

yeah, there very well could be a,

1:11:54

a, a, a step of earth part

1:11:56

two, uh, in the near future. Um,

1:11:59

I'm trying to think make money off

1:12:01

this stuff. You, you go on tours,

1:12:04

channeling aliens for people. So yeah. So

1:12:07

yeah, he basically

1:12:09

goes through. examples

1:12:12

of justice, efficiency, and freedom, which boil down to

1:12:14

freedom is the fact that they can choose whatever

1:12:16

they want to do, like the

1:12:18

jobs they take, they're not, you know, I

1:12:20

guess they can say whatever they want to,

1:12:23

but they, and

1:12:26

efficiency is the fact that there's like...

1:12:29

They don't have like a lot of

1:12:31

waste in there. They don't have like

1:12:33

trash They break it down into component

1:12:35

Minerals and stuff and anything that can't

1:12:37

be used gets like ground into a

1:12:39

fine dust and sent down to the

1:12:42

core of their planet which helps to

1:12:44

offset their Keep them from having major

1:12:46

earthquakes and leave them having only minor

1:12:48

ones like they have all of these

1:12:50

things that are just like oh someone

1:12:52

came up with that weird aside and

1:12:54

just threw it in there like it

1:12:56

it There's so many

1:12:58

so many little details that he put

1:13:00

in there to make it seem more

1:13:02

fleshed out and more like a real

1:13:04

thing and It does the exact opposite

1:13:06

when you read it, you know Yeah,

1:13:08

I know when you're watching a bad

1:13:10

sci -fi movie and you're like you

1:13:12

can just see the writer struggling They

1:13:14

wrote themselves into a corner. Yeah, and

1:13:16

they're like I think make it into

1:13:18

dust and it goes into the core

1:13:20

of the planet Don't worry about where

1:13:22

it goes. Yep. There's less earthquakes. Yeah

1:13:24

done Yeah, I

1:13:26

mean, yeah. Yeah,

1:13:29

so basically there's not like

1:13:31

a good ending to the

1:13:33

story because effectively he goes

1:13:35

to a two -day seminar

1:13:37

about jargon society, learns

1:13:39

a bunch of shit and then

1:13:42

comes back to earth and never

1:13:44

sees them again and ends up

1:13:47

writing a book two years later.

1:13:49

And after that he writes another

1:13:51

book in 1990. that's

1:13:54

the one that goes more into channeling and

1:13:56

everything. So there's a big gap between those

1:13:58

two, even though in a lot of places

1:14:00

they'll refer to that second book as the

1:14:02

second half of the first book. And

1:14:05

so it just didn't, you know, it just didn't

1:14:07

come out for a long time. think Game of

1:14:09

Thrones, George R. R. Martin, Martin fans suffer. His

1:14:13

fans were probably chomping at the

1:14:15

fucking bit by the time that

1:14:17

second part came out. Yeah.

1:14:21

Yeah. So yeah, he gets that he gets fucking

1:14:23

dropped back off on out, out with his family

1:14:25

and goes home. So they were on the boat

1:14:27

the whole time. They were just sitting there for

1:14:29

two days, hanging out, waiting for him to come

1:14:32

back. Hopefully they made some peanut

1:14:34

butter and jelly sandwiches or like, you know, was

1:14:36

there like a lobby on the ship that they

1:14:38

let them sit in at least like with a

1:14:40

nice TV and like, okay. They ran out of

1:14:43

sunscreen the first day open. It

1:14:45

was rough. My

1:14:47

understanding they ate each other he came

1:14:49

back and he was a bachelor my

1:14:52

understanding is that the family does go

1:14:54

on the craft But they don't go

1:14:56

to the seminar because like they literally

1:14:59

there literally is a there's a lobby

1:15:01

you wait in the car There's he

1:15:03

describes entering the the craft and there's

1:15:05

this like really precarious staircase that's just

1:15:08

a pole with like poles going horizontal

1:15:10

down it and he like almost each

1:15:12

shit going down into this other room.

1:15:14

Oh yeah, perfect society. His

1:15:17

wife just like stays up in that first

1:15:19

room and is like, see you later, honey.

1:15:21

And family. They have web defeat, Kyle. Oh

1:15:23

yeah, I forgot about the web defeat thing.

1:15:25

Jesus, you're hateful.

1:15:28

So we let our women pick and choose if

1:15:30

they want to do shitty chores that suck ass,

1:15:32

but we will ask you to leave. Yeah,

1:15:35

your wife on I guess I need

1:15:37

the man of the house to come

1:15:39

out and see all this I guess

1:15:41

because he's the one that saved the

1:15:44

person That's why only he gets it

1:15:46

but like it is which one of

1:15:48

you makes the financial decisions in your

1:15:50

household. Yeah Which one's who keeps the

1:15:52

checkbook? Yeah. Oh Jesus. Yeah So yeah,

1:15:54

that's that's That's basically the story of

1:15:57

the argons and Adrienne. I want to

1:15:59

hear a part too. I want to

1:16:01

know about the channeling era because That

1:16:04

stuff is its own rich vein

1:16:06

of wild stuff. And

1:16:08

I think that like that particular time

1:16:10

period, I'm sure the guy was, the

1:16:12

guy was like old, you said he

1:16:14

died in like 2010s or something. Uh,

1:16:17

that was, uh, Steve Wendell Stevens.

1:16:19

He died, uh, Adrian Beers.

1:16:21

He was the guy with the UFO

1:16:23

photo collection, right? Adrian Beers died in

1:16:26

1998. 1998. So he's like towards

1:16:28

the end of his life going around channeling aliens.

1:16:30

But you don't write about, I feel

1:16:33

like you don't write about channeling without

1:16:35

doing a couple viewers, honestly.

1:16:38

You can find video footage and

1:16:40

radio station footage of him in

1:16:43

that era, I think. So

1:16:46

there's some stuff you can watch if you want to

1:16:48

get a sense of the man. So

1:16:51

that's kind of the story for this

1:16:53

week. It would be like if the

1:16:55

Beatles fucking put out Abbey Road and

1:16:57

Paul's like... don't think we're going to

1:16:59

go around playing this one. I

1:17:02

think just

1:17:04

going to take a break. That's

1:17:11

what that would be like. That is

1:17:13

what that would be like. Do

1:17:16

you want a big question? Yeah. How much

1:17:18

do you think the Beatles toured? at

1:17:20

that point in their career. Honestly, you're right.

1:17:23

Actually, probably not as much as they did

1:17:25

in their younger days. I believe

1:17:27

they slowed down. I think that's why it was kind of

1:17:29

a big deal. They got on that rooftop. They went on

1:17:31

the rooftop and did the crazy thing. What? They didn't do

1:17:33

like 200 days a year. Paul

1:17:36

was like, we're going to play on a rooftop. It's going

1:17:38

to be, it's not, it's not that bad. Kind of nice

1:17:40

playing on a rooftop. I'm Paul McCartney,

1:17:43

the leader of the Beatles. You

1:17:46

know, like. You'll notice a trend

1:17:48

of my jokes being crafted a

1:17:51

certain way when Jules is on

1:17:53

the book. Everyone wants

1:17:55

to everyone wants to to really lean

1:17:57

into Jules when you come on. It's

1:18:00

true. true. It turns into everybody wants

1:18:02

to lean into me for sure. Yeah.

1:18:05

Dick Cage. Perfect. Yeah. Oh,

1:18:13

God. Jesus

1:18:16

Christ. Big question. God

1:18:18

damn it. If you

1:18:20

were to come up with your own

1:18:22

semi -religious societal system based around three

1:18:25

values, much like the Yargans and the

1:18:27

French, what would those

1:18:29

three things be? Sucking, fucking, and trucking. Hey,

1:18:35

it's asked and answered. Gas, grass, and

1:18:37

ass. That's right. Jules and I got

1:18:39

it in one. You're gonna have to

1:18:41

hear something really good from you, Nile.

1:18:44

Swish! Swish! I

1:18:47

think it would

1:18:49

be stuck around

1:18:52

a fistful of

1:18:54

dollars for a

1:18:56

few dollars more.

1:19:00

And the good, the bad, and the ugly. Nailed

1:19:04

it. We all nailed it.

1:19:06

We fucking nailed it. We can

1:19:08

move on from the big question.

1:19:10

I hate it when we spend

1:19:12

too much time on the big

1:19:15

question. We can fucking move on.

1:19:18

Sometimes the episode is long enough. You

1:19:20

don't need to fill time. I

1:19:23

don't actually hate it. I'm not being

1:19:26

serious. Kyle's

1:19:28

favorite thing recently of the last

1:19:30

like six months to a year

1:19:32

has been Making jokes explicitly about

1:19:35

how our podcast sucks. And it's...

1:19:37

Hey, that's only slightly accurate. You

1:19:41

literally started this episode by saying you

1:19:43

guys were canceled. That's not

1:19:45

about it sucking. That's about the disaster

1:19:47

of the Zazz Lab takeover of the

1:19:50

list. I know. It's true. It's true.

1:19:53

But you clearly have a

1:19:55

Freudian style negative association with

1:19:57

your own podcast. It's true.

1:19:59

Freudian. Like I want to...

1:20:01

the podcast is so good.

1:20:04

Yeah. OK. I'm

1:20:07

going to have to think about that. That's I'm going to

1:20:09

have to think about what you just said. a

1:20:13

thinker for next week. So

1:20:15

1:21:16

reading emails we get on the

1:21:18

show? I don't know if it would

1:21:20

be that funny. We did just get

1:21:22

one that was like a person sending two emails

1:21:24

like being like. Hey, Nile,

1:21:27

what's your situation like on the

1:21:29

podcast? Would you like a producer?

1:21:32

I'm so good at it, and I get a million

1:21:34

clicks. And they sent a follow

1:21:36

-up that's like, Nile, are you still there? Do you

1:21:39

have a producer or editor that you work with? And
