which is awesome. 23 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,680 Can I just say that Van Ghost is hands down one of the best names I've ever heard in my 24 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:33,680 entire life. 25 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:34,680 Yeah. 26 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,680 That's a really good name. 27 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,680 It's so good. 28 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,400 But God damn man, you've been busy huh? 29 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:39,400 Fuck. 30 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,400 Yeah, yeah. 31 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,400 Well, I'm glad you're staying busy. 32 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,400 And Sarge, how are you doing? 33 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,400 I'm sure you got some sort of tale to tell. 34 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,400 I'm wonderful. 35 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,720 My oldest child turned 16. 36 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:50,720 Wow. 37 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,880 That's earth shattering. 38 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,720 So I got reminded once again that I'm an elderly fuck at this point. 39 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,360 I took it to Salem, Massachusetts, one of the greatest cities in this whole goddamn 40 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,360 state. 41 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,360 So yeah, it was good times. 42 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,360 Can I just say something? 43 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:05,920 I've never been to Salem, Massachusetts. 44 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,160 Is that wild? 45 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,640 You were fucking missing out. 46 00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:10,160 There are crystals everywhere. 47 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,160 I don't- 48 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,160 All right. 49 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,880 You need to find an amethyst, I got 19 spots. 50 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:15,880 All right. 51 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,800 I've never been and I feel like I lived in New England my whole life. 52 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,040 I feel like it's someplace I should have been. 53 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,800 It is very cool. 54 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,320 You would think that it's kind of lame and stuff. 55 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,200 It sounds touristy. 56 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,720 It's the worst place on earth in October because all the fucking amateurs show up and they 57 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,040 put on eyeliner that one time a year and wander around the streets. 58 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,800 But in the winter time, it's actually very cool. 59 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:39,920 The shops are still open. 60 00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:43,440 There's a lot of stuff to see and the shops have really cool stuff in them. 61 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,160 And then there's like all kinds of museums and haunted houses that run year round. 62 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,160 It's very, very cool. 63 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,040 And the restaurants are incredible. 64 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,480 The Rockefeller was really good. 65 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,440 The Tavern in the Hawthorne. 66 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,960 I stayed in the Hawthorne Hotel and I ate in the Tavern last night. 67 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:58,960 It was really good. 68 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,760 So the Ledger is another great restaurant. 69 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:08,560 I freaking love it there and it's so much fun, especially if you like hit every bar 70 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,320 that you walk past and have a drink while you're out and about. 71 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,200 It just makes the experience so much fun. 72 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,320 Salem to me always, it always just seemed like it was like Hot Topic, Hampton Beach. 73 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,240 Like it's just like that kind of like vibe. 74 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,520 And I didn't know if I could. 75 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,400 I feel like Hot Topic wants to be Salem. 76 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,960 Yeah, especially in October. 77 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:28,960 Fair enough. 78 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,080 Because like Salem is a pretty spooky place. 79 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,040 Yeah, you remember our buddy, Ryan Connery. 80 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,760 He used to live down there and do ghost tours and stuff. 81 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,640 I used to go down there every week and hang out with him and it was one of my favorite 82 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,640 places. 83 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,240 And during COVID, I went down and it was just all construction. 84 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,240 Nothing was open. 85 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,240 It was like towards the end. 86 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,240 It wasn't like during lockdown. 87 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,280 It was like after that when things started opening up. 88 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,400 But like it was it was crazy. 89 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:54,840 It was like a like a dead zone. 90 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,920 Like I went down there for the was it the Boston Hot Dog Corporation? 91 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,880 That little hot dog shop. 92 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,600 They weren't open and there's just like all construction everywhere. 93 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,080 And I just ended up going to a couple bars. 94 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,520 But my buddy, Matt Hobbs lives down there and he's going to be starting up an open mic 95 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,520 at one of the bars. 96 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,560 So I just head down there and start performing. 97 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,440 Did you go to Salem just for the hot dogs or was that like did you drive specifically 98 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,880 for like, you know, I'm craving this hot dog. 99 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,480 I've I've gone to Columbus, Ohio, just for the hot dogs. 100 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,120 But so so yes, not every time. 101 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,360 Usually it was for something else, but I would always I would always be honest with you, 102 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,360 Mike. 103 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,520 I was on your side until you said you drove all the way to Columbus, Ohio for hot dogs. 104 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,480 Well, I mean, I also had like a show out there, but I. 105 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,640 I got nervous for a second because I've driven into Boston. 106 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,440 There was a place near Berkeley called Junkyard Hot Dogs. 107 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,640 Holy shit. 108 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,640 How did we end up here? 109 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,120 You know, some people like hot dogs. 110 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,560 I have a hot dog tattoo, so that's fair. 111 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,560 All right. 112 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,160 Are you guys ready to you guys ready to dive into today's episode? 113 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,200 Yeah, especially if it's about hot dogs. 114 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,200 It's not about hot dogs. 115 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,200 It's actually it's not. 116 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,400 No, I'll see you guys next week. 117 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,760 Yeah, this place. 118 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:07,880 I got a show tonight. 119 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,760 So so all right. 120 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:10,760 Fuck both of you. 121 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:17,360 But anyways, today, gentlemen, we're going to be heading to. 122 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,480 The Soviet Union. 123 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,480 I had that audio, so I had to use it again. 124 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,200 But anyway, so anyway, so we're going to head to the Soviet Union. 125 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,920 The year is 1989. 126 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,240 The Cold War is winding down, but, you know, tensions are still very much high. 127 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:39,560 Now, deep in the heart of the USSR, about 300 miles south of Moscow is the city of Verona's. 128 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,880 I think I'm pronouncing that right. 129 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,520 It ends with a ZH and I don't know Russian, so that I'm just going to run with it. 130 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,000 Not like super well known for having weird shit happen there outside of I'm assuming 131 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,800 just normal middle of nowhere Russia shit like bear fighting or whatever it is they 132 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,080 do up there. 133 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,240 Most people go there for the hot dogs. 134 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,960 OK, but in American blue jeans. 135 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:07,600 What it was well known for, at least to the Russians and I assume the CIA was its industry. 136 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,720 Aircraft production, engineering and military research. 137 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,480 What that research was, I don't know. 138 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:18,040 But that's what really put this place on the map, at least up until that point. 139 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:22,640 That all changed when in September of that year, something happened that defied all logic, 140 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,480 something that would not only leave its mark on Verona's, but would ripple across the 141 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,880 world kind of. 142 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,320 What happened there wasn't simply just another UFO sighting, but a full fledged alien encounter 143 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:39,800 complete with extraterrestrials, a robotic companion and a demonstration of power that 144 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,680 absolutely ruined the mental health of one, if not all of the witnesses that were there 145 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,680 to see it. 146 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,840 So today we're going to be discussing the Verona's UFO encounter. 147 00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:52,360 Oh, oh, I thought you were talking about. 148 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,320 I thought you were going to talk about Steven Seagal's first visit. 149 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,360 God damn it. 150 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,360 No. 151 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,360 That would ruin my mental health. 152 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,640 So just a fat guy doing karate. 153 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,640 Did you say robot companion? 154 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,520 OK, now I've never heard of this. 155 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:14,280 OK, so the story goes that on the evening of September 27th, 1989, a group of children 156 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:19,640 were hanging out in a local park that I refused to learn how to pronounce. 157 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,000 And they were playing like just all the best games that Soviet era Russia has to offer. 158 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,640 So it's a hoop and a stick. 159 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:28,640 Even from beer. 160 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:35,200 Now you got the classic children's game called Children's Court, where one child is the judge, 161 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,800 one is the accused and the rest are the jury. 162 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,800 And the accused has to prove they didn't steal the last of the food rations. 163 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:47,040 But spoiler alert, they're always found guilty. 164 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:52,040 There's also the other classic Soviet era childhood game called Reds versus Whites. 165 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,320 It's like a classic cops and robbers style game where half the children are the Bolsheviks 166 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,960 and the other half are. 167 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,800 Purge from society. 168 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:04,800 How old are these kids? 169 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:05,800 I don't know. 170 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:06,800 I made both those games up. 171 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,800 They don't exist. 172 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,760 I think they were playing soccer. 173 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,320 It sounds it sounds. 174 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,240 The problem is Russia is such a horrible place that it sounds accurate. 175 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,960 Wait, you made those up for real? 176 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,920 Yeah, those are games. 177 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,640 You totally sold me on the Children's Court. 178 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:23,640 I believe it too. 179 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,200 I was like, wait, is this a real thing? 180 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:30,440 It seems like it could be Russia during the Soviet era was, I'm going to say, nightmarish 181 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,440 to say the least. 182 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,640 I don't think it was great. 183 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,640 When you said Children's Court, it reminded me of like that Rugrats episode when they 184 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,640 have a courtroom. 185 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,840 And I was like, oh yeah, that's that's a thing. 186 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,180 I never sympathize with the Russians more than the time I had to wait in line to buy 187 00:08:43,180 --> 00:08:44,800 toilet paper during covid. 188 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,040 That's the closest you'll ever get. 189 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,240 I was like, oh, this is what Soviet Russia is like. 190 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,240 Yeah. 191 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,240 Now. 192 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:58,280 But otherwise, yes, I think I think they legitimately were like playing soccer or something. 193 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,320 They were kicking some sort of ball around or a can. 194 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,320 I don't know. 195 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,800 Either way, as they were playing, something caught their eye up in the sky. 196 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,360 They noticed what witnesses described as a glowing pink light hovering just above them. 197 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,840 But then it kind of shifted. 198 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:17,200 The pink glow deepened into a pulsating dark red sphere about 10 feet in diameter. 199 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,320 Now the children, they just stood there frozen as this glowing sphere began to descend slowly 200 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,020 down into the park. 201 00:09:23,020 --> 00:09:27,160 They noticed that the air changed around them like it is like a like a pressure filled the 202 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,280 air like the atmosphere itself had thickened. 203 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,840 Now some of the kids, they clutched their arms as a sudden chill ran through them, despite 204 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,340 it being a relatively warm evening. 205 00:09:36,340 --> 00:09:41,880 They also noticed that it got eerily silent as the craft approached, like the birds chirping, 206 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,040 leaves rustling, distant conversations, the traffic, all of that seemed kind of just like 207 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,840 fade away. 208 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,440 Now a few kids, they instinctively took like a step back as if their bodies were reacting 209 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:57,440 before their tiny minds could even really process like what they were seeing. 210 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,440 But no one ran. 211 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,520 They just like stood rooted in place watching as this craft slowly and deliberately descended 212 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:03,520 down into the park. 213 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,520 Yeah. 214 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,560 Polonium poisoning has that effect on people. 215 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:13,560 They also accidentally fall out of windows periodically in Russia. 216 00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:15,080 It's a weird phenomenon. 217 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,080 It happens. 218 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:21,000 Now, suddenly without a sound, this fear that they were watching slowly descend. 219 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,000 It just disappeared. 220 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,040 Like it blinked out of existence. 221 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,040 It was then that the kids were like, fuck this shit. 222 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,040 I'm way too hungry and way too impoverished for this. 223 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,320 I have so much stuff going on. 224 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,000 Like I do not need this in my life. 225 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,000 Yeah. 226 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,000 I got to fall out a window later. 227 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,200 It is time for afternoon vodka. 228 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,200 Yeah. 229 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,220 Like, so they're, they're ready to get the fuck out of there. 230 00:10:44,220 --> 00:10:48,920 And suddenly out of nowhere, the craft just reappeared this time, even closer to the ground, 231 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,160 eventually landing in the park and not just in front of the kids. 232 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,160 Like there's a group of witnesses at this point. 233 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:59,560 It's like, like adults, I assume not the parents of these children, but like adults nonetheless 234 00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:02,120 have gathered now like to see this thing descend. 235 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,360 That's where it goes from. 236 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,360 All right. 237 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,040 That's weird to come on, man. 238 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,400 I got enough existential dread living in Soviet Russia. 239 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,400 I don't need this. 240 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:15,560 As the witnesses stared to craft a hatch opened up out, stepped, what could only be described 241 00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:19,280 as a full on nightmare. 242 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,760 The entity was at least nine feet tall and it didn't look human, but weirdly enough, 243 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,800 it didn't look entirely like extraterrestrial either. 244 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:32,240 The creature was dressed in a metallic silvery suit with thick bronze colored boots. 245 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,680 Like turns out it was just a Harlem globe, globe trotters on a peace mission. 246 00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:42,680 It's like it's the way they described it is like quintessential, like Cold War era sci fi. 247 00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:43,680 You know what I mean? 248 00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:49,080 Like it's like if you ever seen like old pulp magazine covers, it's like that kind of alien. 249 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,280 Like it's not like so it's kind of weird. 250 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:59,100 You know, there was like this one, like eight year old who just pulls out a pack of weird 251 00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:01,840 unfiltered cigarettes with Cyrillic writing on it. 252 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,120 And he's like packing it and he's saying, he's like, I'm going to be late to the mines 253 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,120 today. 254 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:14,080 But the, but that's not like the weirdest part of the creature's true defining feature 255 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,800 was that it had not one, not two, but three eyes. 256 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,280 It had one normal sized eye on each side of his face, like we normally would. 257 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,920 And then a smaller glowing red eye like smack dab in the middle of its forehead. 258 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,280 Now witnesses said that this third eye, if you were unlucky enough to look into it, it 259 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,600 would cause temporary paralysis to anyone who met his gaze. 260 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,600 And that will come back later. 261 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:45,080 Now then to make things worse, a second third-eyed monster came out behind the first one. 262 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,820 And as one source put it, and this was really funny to me, it said, quote, it was clear 263 00:12:49,820 --> 00:12:51,480 they were working together. 264 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,480 End quote. 265 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:58,000 That is such a KGB thing. 266 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,280 I mean, yeah, they came out of the same craft. 267 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,280 Why would they not be? 268 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,800 It was clear they were working together. 269 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,840 Moose and squirrel. 270 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,680 It was like, what are the, it was just the funniest line to put into any of the, like, 271 00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:11,080 why would you even say obviously? 272 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:12,080 No shit, dude. 273 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,520 Unless the other one's like trying to sabotage the mission. 274 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,480 How many three-eyed people do you have in your neighborhood? 275 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,680 How close is this place to Chernobyl? 276 00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:22,720 Just out of curiosity. 277 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,720 It's not that close. 278 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:24,720 Okay. 279 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:25,720 All right. 280 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:26,720 But, uh, just making sure. 281 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,480 But to add a little fun into the mix, trailing behind these massive entities was a mechanical 282 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,460 being of sorts, much smaller and with a heavier clunkier build. 283 00:13:34,460 --> 00:13:38,240 So Ron DeSantis had also arrived. 284 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,540 It moved in an unnatural kind of like, like a wind up robot toy, but just barely holding 285 00:13:42,540 --> 00:13:43,900 itself together. 286 00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:47,840 In my mind, the way it was described is it's clap trap from borderlands. 287 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,720 Like that's the only way that I could, the movie or like a, yeah. 288 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,880 Or like what was the gong droids from star wars? 289 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:55,880 Oh yeah. 290 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,860 It's kind of like, yeah, it's like that vibe. 291 00:13:57,860 --> 00:14:02,920 Now at first the beings didn't even like acknowledge that there was a crowd of people just standing 292 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,560 there and staring at them. 293 00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:08,960 Instead, they just started taking like a leisurely stroll around the park. 294 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:15,240 They were like examining the surroundings, moving in a slow but deliberate manner. 295 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,640 The robot followed closely behind them, stopping every once in a while as it was like scanning 296 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,120 the environment, just kind of trying to get a feel for where they were. 297 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:31,040 But once the creatures seemed, I guess, satisfied with their findings, they decided, all right, 298 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,040 let's ruin some lives. 299 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:37,780 So the creatures now very much aware of their audience and the growing unease in the air, 300 00:14:37,780 --> 00:14:42,120 they shifted their posture, their glowing eyes locked into the crowd with a terrifying 301 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,000 and calculated intensity. 302 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,180 Safe to say the mood has now shifted. 303 00:14:48,180 --> 00:14:51,840 So I mean, Dave, when you think about it, this is an incredibly smart move on the aliens 304 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:59,280 part because no one in 1989 believed anything that came out of Soviet Russia. 305 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,040 So they literally could have done whatever they wanted because no matter what the government 306 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,720 said, we'd be like, nah, this bullshit. 307 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,080 You're full of it. 308 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:08,080 That's fair. 309 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,080 All right. 310 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,920 So before we find out exactly how the mood shifted, I want to get a feel of the room. 311 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,360 Mike, how you feeling so far? 312 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,000 You got three odd aliens. 313 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,080 They are clearly working together, obviously. 314 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,080 Clearly. 315 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,080 Yeah. 316 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,080 And they got a little robot guy. 317 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,640 I'm I'm hooked. 318 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,960 I like how the mood shifted when they looked. 319 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,400 It just reminds me like when I'm halfway through a show and I just like stare at one person 320 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:32,400 in the crowd. 321 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:33,400 I'm like you. 322 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,400 I'm going to ruin your night. 323 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,680 I'm going to make you uncomfortable for this entire song. 324 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:39,680 Exactly. 325 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:40,680 True. 326 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:41,680 But it makes it more memorable for everyone else. 327 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:42,680 So that's, you know, yeah. 328 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,480 Sarge, how you feeling? 329 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:52,240 I love that these clearly very advanced aliens thought it would be a super good idea to bring 330 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:58,200 a politician from Florida along with them as he hobbles around in his lifts trying to 331 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,520 look like a person. 332 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,080 Well, nice. 333 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,520 All right. 334 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,120 So we got your your mics into it. 335 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,160 Sarge, you're confused about the fucking all about this, man. 336 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,160 I want to know more. 337 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,720 I wish I wish to God I could have been there to watch. 338 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,800 Yeah, I know. 339 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,560 It's always in places that like we would never be where. 340 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,560 Yeah. 341 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:21,560 Yeah. 342 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:22,560 Yeah. 343 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:27,920 But so one of the boys, a 16 year old named Vasaya Serin, I think that's how you pronounce 344 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:28,920 it. 345 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:29,920 I don't really care. 346 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:35,200 But anyways, he screams but then was frozen in place when the head alien turned its gaze 347 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,800 toward him, its central eye glowing intensely. 348 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,040 That's when the paralysis set in. 349 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:47,560 Then the creature pulled out a 20 inch tubular device that witnesses said resembled a gun, 350 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:52,920 pointed it at another boy while staring still at this kid. 351 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,600 And in an instant, the kid he was pointing this thing at vanished. 352 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,680 Fucking poof gone. 353 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,080 Just just blinked out of existence. 354 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,080 OK. 355 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,040 The crowd lost it. 356 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,880 So people were screaming, some ran, others were too stunned to move. 357 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,400 But the beings they remained just unfazed. 358 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:18,600 They just stood there simply like observing the chaos all while that robot is just in 359 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,320 the background just like scanning shit like hanging out, chilling. 360 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,600 But I what did the kid do? 361 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:26,600 I don't know. 362 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:27,600 That he was just vaporized. 363 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,320 Why not? 364 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,720 This does sound like you are describing one of my shows, which is crazy. 365 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,760 It's just people are screaming, just staring still, just vanishing people. 366 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,680 Stare to people vaporizing children for no reason. 367 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:42,680 Yeah. 368 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,680 Fuck that kid in particular. 369 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,880 It's not even an all ages show. 370 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,000 There's just a kid there. 371 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,040 A little Russian kid with a pack of cigarettes that no one would believe. 372 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,080 I think it was just like they just want like it was just like the fact that it was still 373 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,360 staring at the one guy, the one kid who screamed while he did this is such a like a baller 374 00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:02,360 move. 375 00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:04,680 Yeah, for sure. 376 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:10,720 But then just as suddenly as he disappeared, the boy reappeared like totally unharmed, 377 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,280 but visibly shaken. 378 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,840 Obviously, he naturally he didn't exist for a moment, which is kind of fucked up. 379 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,240 I don't know how you feel after that. 380 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,240 Yeah. 381 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:25,800 Now, the beings hung around for a little while longer, scanning the park with their glowing 382 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,200 eyes as of searching for something unseen. 383 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,720 Now the robot is still there. 384 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,480 He's just smelling flowers and looking at trees or some shit. 385 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,640 Then one of the humanoids tilted its head slightly as if communicating to the other 386 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,880 that hey, we should probably like dip before the cops come. 387 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:40,880 Yeah. 388 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,800 With that, they turned and walked back into their craft, the hatch sealed behind them 389 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,040 without making a sound. 390 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,560 The red sphere lifted into the sky and instantly vanished. 391 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:54,400 Now, before we go any further, I'm going to ask again, how we feeling about these aliens 392 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,400 now? 393 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,640 I so you said they were kind of humanoid, but not really. 394 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,040 Like, so they had like arms and legs and like a head and a torso. 395 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,840 Yeah, two, two arms, two legs. 396 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,320 So they were just nine feet tall, had three eyes and like a weird and like a metallic 397 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,320 suit. 398 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,320 Yeah. 399 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,120 Now there's like varying reports about the size of their head. 400 00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:12,800 So I didn't leave that in there. 401 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,400 One of them, one source said it had really like a big bulbous head. 402 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,120 The other one said they had tiny heads, kind of like the Koopa Troopers from the Super 403 00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:21,600 Mario live action movie. 404 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:22,600 The best movie. 405 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:23,600 Yeah. 406 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:24,600 Yeah. 407 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,600 But that's how they kind of described it. 408 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:26,600 And I didn't know which one to go with. 409 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,720 I just left that out entirely. 410 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:34,960 Well, you know, a lot of men have a really difficult time describing size accurately. 411 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,840 That's true. 412 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:37,840 That's valid. 413 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:38,840 Valid points. 414 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:39,840 I like this. 415 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,840 Even the descriptions. 416 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,920 It's it's really bulbous. 417 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,920 It's really it's really big. 418 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:47,920 I don't know. 419 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,440 No, it's pretty pretty small, actually. 420 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:51,440 Yeah. 421 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:52,920 You said it was a warm night, not a cold night. 422 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,920 I was in the pool. 423 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:56,920 Yeah. 424 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,720 It was warm, so it appears bigger than it actually is. 425 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,720 Yeah. 426 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,720 So it's a grower, not a shower. 427 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:06,720 Exactly. 428 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,400 Now, this entire encounter lasts less than 10 minutes. 429 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:18,280 So but for a lot of people, and I'm assuming the kid who did exist for a moment, it probably 430 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:19,280 lasted a little bit longer. 431 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:20,280 I'm sorry. 432 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,120 Did you you said a moment did the little boy who disappeared come back? 433 00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:24,520 Were you not paying attention? 434 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,840 Well, no, there was a lot to keep track of. 435 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:27,840 Yeah. 436 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:29,800 So did he reappear in the same spot that he disappeared? 437 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:30,800 Yeah. 438 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,800 Do you need to go back? 439 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,800 No, no, no, I go back. 440 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,320 There was a lot to keep track of. 441 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,600 We've got two three eyed aliens. 442 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,960 Hey, calm the fuck down. 443 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:43,960 Take that again. 444 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:50,000 We've got two three eyed aliens, Ron DeSantis, a pink ship, a little boy smoking cigarettes. 445 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,340 I don't know where I am. 446 00:20:51,340 --> 00:20:53,480 You added the last two things in there. 447 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:54,480 You know it was there. 448 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:55,480 I know he was doing it. 449 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,800 Yeah, no, he so he he disappeared and then the boy reappeared. 450 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:05,080 He was he was unharmed, but visibly shaken, obviously. 451 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:11,880 Because now that entire encounter lasted less than 10 minutes, which is crazy because it 452 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,000 sounds like they were taking a lot of time to do whatever it is they were trying to do. 453 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,400 Now the day following the event, the story hit the Soviet press like a fucking bombshell. 454 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:25,640 The official Soviet state run news agency, the Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union, 455 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:30,920 or TASS for short, ran an article covering the event, not debunking it, but reporting 456 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,040 it as fact, which at the time was crazy historic. 457 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,600 Like that never happens. 458 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:43,360 Now in the article, TASS quoted Soviet scientists who admitted that there was something strange 459 00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:46,040 about the physical evidence left behind in the park. 460 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:53,200 Dr. Genrikh Silinov, head of the Voronezh Geophysical Laboratory, stated that scientists 461 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,660 had found quote, a depression in the ground where the sphere had landed and that they 462 00:21:57,660 --> 00:22:01,960 had recovered two small pieces of unidentified rock from the site. 463 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:07,160 Silinov claimed that quote, these rocks were not naturally occurring, end quote, and speculated 464 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,460 that they could have originated from the craft. 465 00:22:09,460 --> 00:22:14,120 They also claimed to have found some metallic fragments at the site, but they quote unquote 466 00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:16,920 vanished before they could be analyzed properly. 467 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,920 Sounds like the aliens just dropped a couple of meth rocks and then took off. 468 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,680 Yeah, yeah, they vanished into the kids' pockets. 469 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:31,360 Now, the fact that a major Soviet news agency would even entertain the notion of a UFO landing 470 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:35,160 was pretty much unheard of at this time, in a sense shockwaves through the international 471 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,360 community. 472 00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:41,480 Western media, including Time Magazine and the New York Times, picked up the story and 473 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,000 they really emphasize the sensational nature of the claims. 474 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:51,400 And the Voronezh case became like a global debate, not just in media, but UFO researchers 475 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:52,400 and skeptics. 476 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:57,600 They were all arguing, UFO researchers hailed it as quote, the most credible extraterrestrial 477 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:03,080 encounter in decades, while skeptics, by nature obviously, they weren't convinced. 478 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,080 Skeptics fucking ruin everything. 479 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,680 Just for a second, enjoy it. 480 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:07,920 Why did they say it was credible? 481 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:12,280 I don't know, because Tass said it was. 482 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,120 I mean, if state-run media publishes the story, that's pretty wild. 483 00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:17,120 Okay. 484 00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:18,120 It's kind of surprising. 485 00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:21,320 Whenever you say Tass, I just think of like speed runs in video games. 486 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:26,520 Well, we'll get to why it kind of seems like a little, it's a little bit more truer than 487 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,840 it's not, kind of, I guess. 488 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:28,840 I don't know. 489 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,920 But anyways, some skeptics proposed that the whole thing was some sort of Soviet era psychological 490 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:33,920 experiment. 491 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:39,360 For years, they said it was a case of mass hysteria fueled by Cold War tensions and Soviet 492 00:23:39,360 --> 00:23:40,360 propaganda. 493 00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:43,920 And then of course, you got other people saying that the craft and the, like the beings were 494 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:49,280 part of a military experiment, possibly a classified Soviet project designed to test 495 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,040 public reaction to UAPs. 496 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:55,980 Kind of like a Project Blue Beam, like they were trying to say was the drones in New Jersey 497 00:23:55,980 --> 00:23:57,240 was part of Project Blue. 498 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,240 Like kind of like- 499 00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,240 Yeah. 500 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,240 Yeah. 501 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,240 Swamp gas. 502 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,280 And the public at large would handle like a UFO invasion. 503 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,320 But what's wild is that even the US government took notice. 504 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:15,180 So and this is true because if you Google the Verona's UFO incident, there are links 505 00:24:15,180 --> 00:24:23,600 to the CIA's official.gov website with like scanned like shit, like that mentioned this 506 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,600 case. 507 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:30,240 Now, the US didn't like make like an official statement on the case publicly, but some intelligence 508 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:35,160 analysts think the incident was either an elaborate hoax, some sort of like propaganda 509 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:44,360 thing or maybe just a misinterpretation of some sort of like experimental craft. 510 00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:49,960 But despite the skepticism, the Verona's UFO incident remains one of the most well-documented 511 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,480 and debated extraterrestrial encounters in modern history. 512 00:24:53,480 --> 00:25:00,320 Now whether or not it's real, you know, it definitely left like an undeniable impact 513 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:05,320 and not just for those who saw it, especially that one kid that just full on didn't exist 514 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:06,320 for a minute. 515 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:12,720 But it left like a, I was going to say a stain on the world, but it's not a stain. 516 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,900 It left an impact on the world as a whole. 517 00:25:14,900 --> 00:25:16,500 But there you have it. 518 00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:21,060 That is the case of the Verona's UFO encounter. 519 00:25:21,060 --> 00:25:23,120 And that's all I have for you. 520 00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:25,280 I want to know what happened to the kid who vanished. 521 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:26,280 Yeah. 522 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,280 Did they interview him ever? 523 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,280 Oh, that I don't know. 524 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:33,720 I mean, if they did, it wasn't in the Russia propaganda that they put out afterwards. 525 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:34,720 Where did he go? 526 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,440 Well, that's what I'm thinking. 527 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,600 Like it, clearly it was a threat. 528 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,360 Like if you keep fucking around, you're going to wind up here. 529 00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:46,560 But where could you possibly send a kid that's worse than 1989 Soviet Russia? 530 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:47,560 New Jersey? 531 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:48,560 Florida? 532 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:49,560 The Bible Belt? 533 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:54,800 It is true. 534 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,840 Like that's like, I couldn't even imagine like the psychological impact that would have 535 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,560 a view just existing and then not existing. 536 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,120 It just reminds me of like a blackout though, kind of. 537 00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:08,600 I guess, but you never dematerialize because there's people around you when you're blackout 538 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,680 that can tell you the stories of things you did when you're blackout that you don't want 539 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,680 to hear. 540 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:13,680 But they could be lying. 541 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,680 As far as I'm concerned, Saturday night, I stop existing. 542 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,760 He had to be conscious when he disappeared. 543 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:21,800 Right. 544 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:27,000 So he's like conscious in the shadow realm and then blinks back into existence. 545 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,360 So they had to send him somewhere. 546 00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:29,360 We don't know that. 547 00:26:29,360 --> 00:26:30,360 We don't know. 548 00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:31,360 I don't know. 549 00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:32,360 Maybe it's like how was it nightcrawler? 550 00:26:32,360 --> 00:26:34,920 Like whenever he like does that fucking like teleportation thing, doesn't he like go to 551 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,640 hell and then come back out? 552 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,640 That's possible. 553 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,640 So maybe it's kind of like maybe he just went to fucking alien hell. 554 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:41,640 I don't know. 555 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:42,640 It's all a nightmare. 556 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,600 He could have gone on the ship. 557 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:45,600 Maybe. 558 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,600 I have no idea. 559 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,720 But anyway, so Mike, how are you feeling? 560 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,160 What are your thoughts, questions, concerns? 561 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,920 Yeah, I'm concerned with this whole story. 562 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,920 For one, I've never heard of this, which is crazy that it's like you said that I get left 563 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:03,000 a huge impact because I've heard of a lot of alien encounters and never heard of this. 564 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,840 And yeah, no, please. 565 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,920 And secondly, I think do you think a lot of it was because especially our government involvement 566 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,600 and like reporting on it, do you think it has to do with like Sputnik and all the like 567 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,120 the space race that we had, like however many years ago before that? 568 00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:19,120 This is no, I know. 569 00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:22,680 But like it was still it was still before the crumbling of the Soviet Union. 570 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:28,560 So like they were still a rival to our space program, even though even though we beat them. 571 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:29,560 True. 572 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:35,000 I think but I think like in 1989, like at that point, like I don't even think space 573 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,320 was even our fucking we didn't care about that. 574 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,320 Yeah. 575 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,920 Russia was kind of falling apart by this point. 576 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:40,920 Yeah. 577 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:47,040 Like it is a weird piece of if it's propaganda from the Russians, it's it's a weird thing 578 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:48,040 to do. 579 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,040 Like, you know what I mean? 580 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:53,200 Like in 1989, like that was like 60s shit. 581 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:54,560 Like why why all of a sudden? 582 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,800 Because like Russia has a very long history of just like suppressing any sort of like 583 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,040 extraterrestrial encounters or anything like that. 584 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:08,320 So for this to like be like in the actual state run media is fucking crazy. 585 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,200 The crazy thing is these kids like I don't know, you didn't say how old they were, but 586 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,880 if it was 89, like they're relatively our age. 587 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,440 So these kids might still be alive. 588 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:17,440 Yeah. 589 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,440 I want to talk to them. 590 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:19,440 Yeah. 591 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,480 They said they ranged from ages of nine to 60. 592 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,480 OK, OK. 593 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,000 I believe I read that group of kids. 594 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:31,960 So I mean, maybe it was just a fucking maybe they hallucinated it from the industrial waste 595 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,560 that was being pumped out into the town because they were known for that. 596 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:35,560 But I have no idea. 597 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,200 I just want to know where in New Jersey that little boy wound up. 598 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:44,280 Some Fuddruckers. 599 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,360 Just the lobby of a Fuddruckers and they won't let him in because he hasn't had parents with 600 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:49,360 him. 601 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,320 Well, the staff lazily sings Happy Birthday to an ungrateful child. 602 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:53,320 Yeah. 603 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,000 I don't know if they ever interviewed the boy. 604 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,160 If they did, it's not in any sort of thing. 605 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,960 But like maybe it could be like the Philadelphia experiment. 606 00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:01,440 Like maybe he wasn't like disintegrate. 607 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,720 He became part of a battleship and then blinked back. 608 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:06,720 No. 609 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:16,520 Like maybe like maybe like the USS Philadelphia, like that popped up in fucking another time 610 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,920 or like another city for something like a brief moment. 611 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:19,920 They came back. 612 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,400 Maybe he was just teleported somewhere and they came back. 613 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,920 Like maybe he didn't not exist because that'd be insane. 614 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,320 He like blinked into like his worst nightmare. 615 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,480 So he's just like standing naked in front of his classroom and then blinks back and 616 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:36,280 the classrooms in New Jersey for some reason. 617 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:37,280 Why am I in Bayonne? 618 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,240 There you have it guys. 619 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:40,240 That's the story. 620 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:41,240 It was fun. 621 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,240 It was cool. 622 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,280 I, you know, I panicked for a minute trying to find an episode and I thought this was 623 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,420 a I had never heard of this before I started researching it. 624 00:29:49,420 --> 00:29:50,420 So it was cool to learn. 625 00:29:50,420 --> 00:29:51,720 OK, so you haven't either. 626 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,600 That's no, this is all new to me. 627 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:54,600 That's comforting. 628 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:55,600 All right. 629 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:56,600 I can't honestly. 630 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:01,400 I'm not that I'm like trying to make it sound like I do tons and tons of research, but I 631 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,240 know a lot of crazy alien stories. 632 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,440 I can't believe that I've never heard this before. 633 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:06,440 Same. 634 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:07,440 Yes. 635 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:08,440 I'll

00:30:18,840 No, because I'm lazy as fuck and I don't do that. 641 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:19,840 Nice. 642 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:20,840 Nice. 643 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,840 Well, if you guys need someone to do that for you, I'm good at that. 644 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:24,840 Awesome. 645 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:25,840 All right. 646 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,160 With that out of the way, Mike, I nine. 647 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,520 Do you have anything you want to plug before we sign off? 648 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,120 Usually I give Sarge the floor for this, but you're the guy. 649 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,080 So you can follow me on everything. 650 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,760 If it's EYE and I. 651 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:44,280 Any just recently, I think like two weeks ago, I got zucked really hard. 652 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,280 They deleted my Instagram. 653 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:47,280 Yeah. 654 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:48,280 What happened with that? 655 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,840 Like you don't post anything offensive or anything like that. 656 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:51,840 Like I don't understand. 657 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:52,840 No, I don't. 658 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,440 I think it might have to do with the fact that they just like transitioned everything 659 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,800 into AI for their content moderation. 660 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:04,880 And I just got a message randomly and they're like, hey, you got flagged for community standards. 661 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,200 I was like, OK, like I literally had just posted a story and it wasn't an offensive 662 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:14,960 story and I clicked on it and they're like, we need your ID, which is weird because I 663 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:19,320 didn't think I linked it to my personal account, which I didn't. 664 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,480 And so I sent my ID and then they had me do like a face scan. 665 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,040 So I do like this 3D up and down left and right face scan. 666 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,160 And then they like it was under review and then they sent me a message. 667 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,680 They're like, yep, you didn't pass. 668 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,240 You were flagged for community standards. 669 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,920 They never said what it was. 670 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,140 And they're like, and all of your shit's deleted forever. 671 00:31:36,140 --> 00:31:37,140 So fuck off. 672 00:31:37,140 --> 00:31:38,140 That's crazy. 673 00:31:38,140 --> 00:31:39,140 They said I can't appeal it. 674 00:31:39,140 --> 00:31:41,680 They said I can't do anything about it. 675 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:46,000 But there's a comedian, Ben Palmer, and he happened to him. 676 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,920 Yeah, it just happened to him. 677 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,680 So and he, I guess, sued in small claims court and he got his account back. 678 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,440 And now he has this whole thing set up for other people to do it. 679 00:31:55,440 --> 00:32:00,840 So I just emailed him like my information and hopefully I'm going to sue and get, I 680 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,040 mean, I don't need the money, but like I take them for everything it's worth. 681 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,040 Yeah. 682 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:06,680 Well, it can only be up to like nine grand, I think. 683 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,520 But you had like a fairly decent following on there too. 684 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,240 I had thousands of followers, 15 years of memories. 685 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,200 I had like pictures of friends that are no longer around and like family members and 686 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,200 stuff. 687 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,240 And like I, there was around on the old phones that I would upload. 688 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,280 I didn't think that it could ever get deleted. 689 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,720 That's wildly fucked up. 690 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:25,720 Yeah. 691 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,960 So everyone back up your Instagram, I guess. 692 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:34,640 But my new Instagram
