Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey guys.
- 0:01Speaker 2: This episode is with a good friend of mine, Chris Kramer.
- 0:04Speaker 2: He is a member of the Arizona Four, which is
- 0:08Speaker 2: a group of four friends who go up on the
- 0:11Speaker 2: Mogian Rib in Arizona as well of those other places,
- 0:14Speaker 2: but mostly there, and their encounters there with the forest
- 0:20Speaker 2: people or as they call the gain is just incredible.
- 0:25Speaker 2: I've had him on and Kevin Keeney, there's two of
- 0:29Speaker 2: the four members, and some of their experiences with the
- 0:33Speaker 2: mind speak and the things they're seeing and the experiences
- 0:36Speaker 2: are having out there, it's just mind blowing. And Chris
- 0:39Speaker 2: is a real dude. I love Chris. Chris is great,
- 0:44Speaker 2: very punctual, very to the point, doesn't hold any punches.
- 0:48Speaker 2: I think that's the word, not punctual, but doesn't hold
- 0:50Speaker 2: any punches. I think this might be a better way
- 0:52Speaker 2: of saying it. And we've been in contact since the beginning.
- 0:55Speaker 2: He was like episode four of the podcast, and I
- 0:59Speaker 2: had him back on after he decided to be a
- 1:02Speaker 2: little bit more upfront about what they've been experiencing. Actually,
- 1:06Speaker 2: when when I first reached out to him, I seen
- 1:08Speaker 2: him on some Facebook group or something and I was like, Oh,
- 1:11Speaker 2: who's this gentleman, and I called him and he goes,
- 1:14Speaker 2: I don't know who you are. I said, okay, let's talk.
- 1:16Speaker 2: And we literally, you know, called each other and talked
- 1:19Speaker 2: for like an hour and and he's just you know,
- 1:22Speaker 2: he was kind of he wasn't shy about it, but
- 1:24Speaker 2: he just didn't want people to get the wrong idea
- 1:26Speaker 2: about what was going on out there. And through time
- 1:29Speaker 2: we developed an incredible relationship. He often comes down here
- 1:32Speaker 2: to Mexico for vacation with his wife and his family.
- 1:35Speaker 2: So actually, this episode I believe was yeah, it was.
- 1:38Speaker 2: This episode was actually recorded while he was on vacation
- 1:41Speaker 2: in Mexico on the other side on the Pacific. I'm
- 1:44Speaker 2: over here on the Atlantic side. So that was pretty cool,
- 1:47Speaker 2: and we it's it's a it's a great episode. Okay, guys.

- 2:33Speaker 2: So that that happens every Friday, every Tuesday at three
- 2:37Speaker 2: thirty Central time. That's when I dropped the regular regular program,
- 2:42Speaker 2: which is you know a little bit more you know,
- 2:44Speaker 2: cleaned up, because you know, when you listen to a
- 2:46Speaker 2: live on audio version like this, you're going to be
- 2:49Speaker 2: missing some of the visuals that are getting shown to me.
- 2:52Speaker 2: And even on some of the regular episodes too, they

- 2:56Speaker 2: get to hear the audio. That's cool, you know, sometimes

- 7:23Speaker 2: So I had your buddy Kevin Keeney on and he

- 7:33Speaker 2: if you want to go to the members and check
- 7:35Speaker 2: it out, you can get some early content as well.
- 7:37Speaker 2: So where did you meet Kevin? And how did this
- 7:40Speaker 2: whole thing start?
- 7:41Speaker 1: Dude? So when I came to Arizona, See, Kevin and
- 7:47Speaker 1: I were online friends for a number of years on
- 7:51Speaker 1: a on like a private Facebook page. It was like
- 7:56Speaker 1: a group of deep experiencers and you know, researchers for
- 8:03Speaker 1: lack of a better term. So Kevin and I knew
- 8:05Speaker 1: each other from like, I don't know, twenty seventeen on
- 8:09Speaker 1: around there. And when I moved to Arizona in twenty twenty,
- 8:14Speaker 1: I linked up with CAV and Kevin already had was
- 8:18Speaker 1: pretty well established in his spots, and you know, just
- 8:25Speaker 1: kind of by default, we started building this group of
- 8:28Speaker 1: the regular bunch of us that would go out and
- 8:30Speaker 1: all of us were already kind of experiences and researchers
- 8:35Speaker 1: in our own right, you know, I mean Kevin and
- 8:39Speaker 1: Rob Copeland, Wayne Dillon, guys that have been down this
- 8:41Speaker 1: road for a long time, and we just all kind
- 8:45Speaker 1: of it was all simpatico.
- 8:46Speaker 4: Man, you know what I mean, we all live fairly
- 8:48Speaker 4: close to each other.
- 8:50Speaker 1: We're all passionate about the outdoors, you know, passionate about
- 8:53Speaker 1: the topic. And you know, I got to give the
- 8:57Speaker 1: nod to Kevin. You know, Kevin had stumbled upon a
- 9:03Speaker 1: couple of areas up on the rim that are pretty
- 9:06Speaker 1: remote and obscure and had already kind of had the
- 9:10Speaker 1: ball rolling he was getting. Back then, you know, we
- 9:13Speaker 1: were more in the research frame of mind. You know,
- 9:16Speaker 1: there was Kevin was you know, habituated with these things,
- 9:20Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, you know, he was
- 9:23Speaker 1: you know, I think that's the kind of the direction
- 9:25Speaker 1: that we initially were going, kind of like a Jane
- 9:28Speaker 1: goodall be there, be consistent, do the same.
- 9:31Speaker 4: Things over and over and over and over and over again.
- 9:34Speaker 1: And but you know, back in those days, like you know,
- 9:37Speaker 1: five years ago, you know, I didn't go anywhere without
- 9:40Speaker 1: a camera and a big cam and and Kevin had
- 9:44Speaker 1: all the audio tech and we were doing all that,
- 9:46Speaker 1: you know, and I mean we would get some incredible interaction,
- 9:52Speaker 1: but it was distanced, you know. And not long after that,
- 9:59Speaker 1: you know, we had our I had my first experience
- 10:03Speaker 1: with the telepathy thing, right, and we were all out
- 10:06Speaker 1: and we were basically asked to put the tech down.
- 10:09Speaker 1: And that's that's that sounds so crazy you want to
- 10:11Speaker 1: say it, but but we so we did. You know,
- 10:13Speaker 1: we stopped uh filming, we stopped trying trying to catch pictures.
- 10:18Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's part of the journey for a
- 10:21Speaker 1: lot of people, you know, like, you know, you get
- 10:23Speaker 1: into this thing and then you realize that your camera
- 10:25Speaker 1: around and you're you're going to start seeing stuff, you know,
- 10:28Speaker 1: and and I when we stopped doing that, and we
- 10:32Speaker 1: stopped trying to uh provide evidence and and and collect evidence,
- 10:37Speaker 1: and we just started letting it unfold more organically.
- 10:41Speaker 4: As people, you know, and.
- 10:42Speaker 1: And the nature of our interaction, communication and experience just
- 10:48Speaker 1: changed exponentially. Man, it changed everything. You know.
- 10:51Speaker 4: That's that's kind of a bridge version.
- 10:55Speaker 2: That's cool. Yeah, that's fine. So this is this is
- 10:57Speaker 2: the cool thing, man, Like, Okay, so what I I
- 11:00Speaker 2: shot you like a year ago, and and uh, you
- 11:03Speaker 2: were you know, you wanted you were like keeping your cars.
- 11:07Speaker 4: It was in the first couple of weeks.
- 11:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I reached out to you and you were like, hey, dude,
- 11:12Speaker 2: who are you?
- 11:13Speaker 3: And I was like, I'm Tom, and you were like
- 11:14Speaker 3: all you and I was like, okay, you called me
- 11:18Speaker 3: or I called you. However that went and we talked
- 11:20Speaker 3: for like a half hour or forty five minutes before
- 11:22Speaker 3: you even came on the show. You were like kind
- 11:24Speaker 3: of like, hey, this is you know, this is something
- 11:27Speaker 3: unique to me.
- 11:29Speaker 2: And now you guys have taken this additional step to
- 11:32Speaker 2: to come kind of you know, basically come public and
- 11:34Speaker 2: say look, this is what we're running into out here.
- 11:37Speaker 2: What what was the what was the reason behind that thinking?
- 11:44Speaker 2: You know, I think it was a couple of things.
- 11:48Speaker 2: We were always very we had individually.
- 11:52Speaker 1: I mean, Kevin ran in Channel for a good eight years,
- 11:54Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And it was it was
- 11:56Speaker 1: a there he is yeah, yeah he said he had
- 12:00Speaker 1: to come. Yeah, yeah, feel better, brother, I'll hit you
- 12:06Speaker 1: up afterwards, pal, and so so Kevin was running Arizona's Squatch,
- 12:13Speaker 1: and but collectively we kind of had this mindset that
- 12:20Speaker 1: what we did as a group was so unique and
- 12:23Speaker 1: what we were experiencing that we felt like, I think
- 12:28Speaker 1: we felt that like we didn't want to tarnish that
- 12:32Speaker 1: with a lot of public ego ship for lack of
- 12:36Speaker 1: a better term part in my life. No, no, no,
- 12:39Speaker 1: the worries, and I was, you know, I mean I
- 12:43Speaker 1: was really for a long time dead set again and
- 12:50Speaker 1: creating a platform. I felt like whatever we did individually
- 12:55Speaker 1: was fine, you know what I mean. You know, I mean,
- 12:57Speaker 1: I've been friends with with people that.
- 12:59Speaker 4: Have yourself like very s sessful cool, uh.
- 13:08Speaker 5: Uh out less you know what I mean, and.
- 13:20Speaker 4: And platforms, and you know.
- 13:22Speaker 1: I was always blessed if I felt like I went there,
- 13:25Speaker 1: we go, We're back, Yes, we'll get there. Yeah, I
- 13:31Speaker 1: hear you, Okay, cool, little glitchy, little glitchy. I felt like,
- 13:42Speaker 1: I know, I've got five G and I haven't had
- 13:45Speaker 1: over four G on my phone since I got here.
- 13:48Speaker 1: That's like a stretch. So but what we did collectively
- 13:53Speaker 1: was something that we were was so special, we felt
- 13:55Speaker 1: and really unique.
- 13:56Speaker 4: And I think we were.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Concerned and I think there's so little of this concerned
- 14:01Speaker 1: that you know, when we when we put the tech
- 14:02Speaker 1: down and we stopped doing a lot of this other
- 14:05Speaker 1: stuff that if we went public and platforms like this that.
- 14:14Speaker 4: I think we were concerned that it would screw up.
- 14:16Speaker 1: Our kind of symbiosis with with with with forest folk.
- 14:20Speaker 1: You know, and I and and you know, we had
- 14:23Speaker 1: another former member for lack of a better term, that
- 14:26Speaker 1: really dove into this thing publicly and had some success
- 14:30Speaker 1: with it, but his narratives started to change, and he
- 14:34Speaker 1: was he did it based on kind of using the
- 14:40Speaker 1: somewhat known platform of the Arizona Four to do this,
- 14:45Speaker 1: and and and the rest of us were a little
- 14:47Speaker 1: concerned that some of the stuff that he was saying
- 14:49Speaker 1: wasn't what we were. I don't want to disparage this guy.
- 14:53Speaker 1: I mean, I love him, he's a good person, but
- 14:55Speaker 1: it just wasn't what we were what the rest of
- 14:58Speaker 1: us were felt like was happening, you know. And I'll
- 15:00Speaker 1: preface that by saying, we don't all agree on what's
- 15:03Speaker 1: happening out here like we're for you know, none of
- 15:06Speaker 1: us have little minds, you know, and we're we all
- 15:09Speaker 1: have our own beliefs and we have our own theories
- 15:11Speaker 1: because it's all it is. And we get in some
- 15:14Speaker 1: pretty heated topic discussion about this stuff. But moving forward,
- 15:18Speaker 1: we I think we decided this past year that there
- 15:24Speaker 1: may be some some benefit to to getting out there
- 15:28Speaker 1: and being a bit more public.
- 15:29Speaker 4: And so, you know, we.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Sat down and we hammered out how this is going
- 15:32Speaker 1: to work. We're still work. You know, it's still a
- 15:35Speaker 1: work in progress. You know, Like you know, for us,
- 15:38Speaker 1: you know a lot of people that are glancing amongst
- 15:41Speaker 1: this topic and checking it out, you know, are looking
- 15:43Speaker 1: for dopamine hits and looking for evidence and looking for
- 15:46Speaker 1: you know, some shock value, uh you know, pictures and
- 15:51Speaker 1: videos and audio and all that stuff. You know, and
- 15:54Speaker 1: and you know, we have kind of like kept our
- 15:56Speaker 1: word about not doing that. So what you're going to
- 15:59Speaker 1: get if you're money that wants to compare experiences, wants
- 16:02Speaker 1: to uh look for commonalities, you know, we're a good
- 16:07Speaker 1: platform for you if if you're if you're here and
- 16:09Speaker 1: you're looking you know for some sort of video evidence
- 16:13Speaker 1: and and and and things of that nature.
- 16:15Speaker 4: Were probably not the right like platform for you because
- 16:19Speaker 4: we're not doing that.
- 16:20Speaker 2: You know.
- 16:20Speaker 4: The needs for that in my life sailed a long
- 16:22Speaker 4: time ago.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Tom.
- 16:23Speaker 3: You know, yeah, dude, it's the interesting thing about you
- 16:28Speaker 3: what I've what I've kind of you know, gleaned out
- 16:30Speaker 3: of what the information I'm getting from you guys. It's
- 16:33Speaker 3: a different the connection you're having with the forest people
- 16:37Speaker 3: again as you call them, because I don't think.
- 16:39Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think.
- 16:40Speaker 3: Uh, you know, Kevin calls him that he has his
- 16:43Speaker 3: own you know, which is great. I think by the way,
- 16:45Speaker 3: I mean, I've been wanting to say that, I think
- 16:47Speaker 3: it's wonderful that even though you guys are friends and
- 16:49Speaker 3: you're growing up there and you're experiencing a lot of
- 16:51Speaker 3: these things together, that you're coming with different you're coming
- 16:54Speaker 3: with different viewpoints. But that's that's what it's all about
- 16:57Speaker 3: to begin with. And uh, I think that's a I
- 16:59Speaker 3: think that that's a good thing, dude, Honestly, I really do.
- 17:04Speaker 1: You know, it's like from the GAND thing. I don't
- 17:07Speaker 1: refer to these guys all as the Gan. Just let
- 17:09Speaker 1: me let me let me disabuse you of that. You know,
- 17:12Speaker 1: there's a from our understanding of it, there is a
- 17:15Speaker 1: in there, a caste system amongst their society, right and
- 17:20Speaker 1: the the Gan to I'm my understanding is, I think
- 17:26Speaker 1: Kevin would agree to this, is that there's like a
- 17:29Speaker 1: you know, the elders and the wise men of their
- 17:32Speaker 1: people are referred to are elevated to the GAND status,
- 17:36Speaker 1: but they're not all Gan. They're all whatever they could
- 17:38Speaker 1: the people, whatever they call themselves. However, you know, like
- 17:44Speaker 1: so I think we we talked about this once before
- 17:47Speaker 1: we got that strange validation in a museum in Pace
- 17:50Speaker 1: in Arizona. Below the movie on Rim that refer to
- 17:54Speaker 1: the the the Apaches spiritual beliefs, and the Apaches Uh
- 18:00Speaker 1: used to revere I won't say worship, but holding very
- 18:04Speaker 1: high esteem and regard the spirits of the of the
- 18:09Speaker 1: mountains in the forest, that that that resided amongst the
- 18:14Speaker 1: four peaks, and as well as the Moggi on Rim,
- 18:17Speaker 1: and those spirits are referred to.
- 18:18Speaker 4: As the Gang.
- 18:21Speaker 1: We found that out after we were getting some of
- 18:24Speaker 1: these names where they would have the suffix and we've
- 18:27Speaker 1: literally had names that we can call.
- 18:28Speaker 4: Them given to us.
- 18:29Speaker 1: And and and some of these names had to suffer
- 18:33Speaker 1: to them. You know. There was i Aiden, Gan, Terragan
- 18:36Speaker 1: and Parodic. There's a whole bunch of these gant types,
- 18:39Speaker 1: you know, and but not.
- 18:40Speaker 4: All of them have that name. And when we realized
- 18:43Speaker 4: that that that the.
- 18:45Speaker 1: Area that we're experiencing in is in the middle of
- 18:48Speaker 1: Apache Country. I mean that's for the last Apache Wars
- 18:50Speaker 1: took place, and you know that Geronimo country. You know
- 18:52Speaker 1: what I'm saying and uh, and that they referred to
- 18:56Speaker 1: these entities as the gan. We felt like that was
- 18:59Speaker 1: somewhat validating for us, you know, that was I don't
- 19:03Speaker 1: think they're all They're not all the game from my
- 19:05Speaker 1: understanding of but I think I ked would.
- 19:07Speaker 4: The rest of us would agree to that as well.
- 19:09Speaker 4: One of the few things.
- 19:12Speaker 2: From what I glean, it's it's quite you guys are
- 19:15Speaker 2: having quite the interesting uh like experiences. There's there's uh,
- 19:20Speaker 2: there's there's incredible like healing powers that are being bestowed
- 19:25Speaker 2: upon you guys. There's being there's like uh, there's like
- 19:30Speaker 2: uh I, there's things that I remember you're telling me
- 19:33Speaker 2: that you have you know, you have your situation with
- 19:35Speaker 2: your hand and your arm and uh you know you're right,
- 19:38Speaker 2: and that like you like they can they're somehow like
- 19:42Speaker 2: interacting with you in ways that I mean, I've heard
- 19:45Speaker 2: other people speak of this too, but you guys are
- 19:49Speaker 2: so like upfront with it, and it's a little bit
- 19:51Speaker 2: different than what I've been experiencing. Could you maybe like
- 19:53Speaker 2: talk a little bit about that. I can try, you
- 19:58Speaker 2: know it.
- 19:58Speaker 1: You know a lot of times processing all this stuff
- 20:01Speaker 1: over the last five years has been a inward journey,
- 20:05Speaker 1: you know, I mean from the you know, the mind
- 20:08Speaker 1: speak telepathic stuff. I mean that happens is you know
- 20:15Speaker 1: that's uh, that's something that that uh, that's a game
- 20:18Speaker 1: changer from the healing standpoint, you know, it's it's so
- 20:23Speaker 1: odd in the last couple of years since this thing
- 20:26Speaker 1: happened with my hand. And I can review that with
- 20:28Speaker 1: you if you like. But but I've had so many
- 20:31Speaker 1: people reach out to me and if I if I
- 20:36Speaker 1: pick up the scab, enough of them have a physical
- 20:42Speaker 1: ailment or an issue going on in their life and
- 20:44Speaker 1: they're looking for some sort of relief. They're looking for
- 20:47Speaker 1: a cure, or they're looking for you know, when when
- 20:50Speaker 1: traditional science and medicine and doctors haven't been able.
- 20:54Speaker 4: To fix their issues.
- 20:55Speaker 1: I mean.
- 20:58Speaker 4: Looking for something like that. It's had this.
- 21:00Speaker 1: Interesting conversation with a guy last week who had a
- 21:03Speaker 1: degenitive back disorder and like needed a history place. He's
- 21:06Speaker 1: in severe pain, and you know, he's asking me about this,
- 21:10Speaker 1: and you know, I got to be totally frank hum.
- 21:13Speaker 1: There's not one time, including with my hand. Kevin's had
- 21:16Speaker 1: some healing experiences as well, that any of us ever
- 21:19Speaker 1: went up there with that like agenda, you know what
- 21:22Speaker 1: I mean, like, oh, you know, let me see if
- 21:24Speaker 1: they able to do this for me, you know, like
- 21:26Speaker 1: we've never done that, you know, And so I always wonder,
- 21:30Speaker 1: like I think Kevin has a saying, which is so true.
- 21:33Speaker 1: They do what they do when they do it, and
- 21:35Speaker 1: that means an interaction behavior, communication, you know.
- 21:40Speaker 4: But it's the truth, you know.
- 21:41Speaker 1: And I always feel like I'm gonna let somebody down,
- 21:43Speaker 1: you know, if I if I tell them that I
- 21:45Speaker 1: can't assure you that you would go to any one
- 21:48Speaker 1: of these locations or come on, and we don't really
- 21:50Speaker 1: take people out with us that much anymore. That's kind
- 21:52Speaker 1: of thing of the past, but that that would happen
- 21:56Speaker 1: for you, you know. I mean, I just you know,
- 21:58Speaker 1: it's such a miraculous thing. Mine was, quite frankly, it
- 22:02Speaker 1: was miraculous, you know. And some of the other guys
- 22:05Speaker 1: have had h I don't know if it was on
- 22:08Speaker 1: the same direct level that mine was, but Kevin's had
- 22:11Speaker 1: you know, Kevin's a wounded VET and you know, you
- 22:14Speaker 1: blurt off a tank back and the Gulf War and
- 22:16Speaker 1: he's had He's got a litany of physical ailments as
- 22:21Speaker 1: a result of it, and he's you know, he's received
- 22:23Speaker 1: the painty leaf on occasion and a few other things
- 22:28Speaker 1: like that. But but uh, it's not something that uh,
- 22:32Speaker 1: you know, happens a lot. You know. That was it's
- 22:36Speaker 1: it's super infrequent and there's no rhyme or reason to it,
- 22:39Speaker 1: you know. So that was from the healing aspect of it.
- 22:43Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's quite interesting, what I mean.
- 22:47Speaker 2: I'm sure as many examples you can give me when
- 22:49Speaker 2: I asked this question, but what what has surprised you
- 22:53Speaker 2: about your interaction with with the with the forest people,
- 22:56Speaker 2: with the with the people on the Mogi young grim
- 22:58Speaker 2: What is like surprise you if it's not everything.
- 23:01Speaker 1: All of it Before before I moved to Arizona, before
- 23:07Speaker 1: I linked up with keV and the rest of the guys,
- 23:11Speaker 1: I mean, I was already an experiencer. I was already
- 23:14Speaker 1: I mean, I'd gone down that research road on and
- 23:18Speaker 1: off for thirty years, you know what I mean. It
- 23:19Speaker 1: was something that was poart of my life since I
- 23:21Speaker 1: was twenty five years old, you know, But I never
- 23:24Speaker 1: I had two sightings before this is before this, right,
- 23:29Speaker 1: and I'd had gifts taken back in a nature preserve
- 23:34Speaker 1: back in New England and I had, you know, that
- 23:37Speaker 1: type of kind of vaguary interaction, but nothing, and I
- 23:43Speaker 1: mean nothing like what has occurred in the last five years.
- 23:47Speaker 1: Like it's on such a it's a level that I
- 23:50Speaker 1: never even heard of or dreamed as possible. And if
- 23:54Speaker 1: I had heard about it five, six, seven years ago,
- 23:57Speaker 1: I would have.
- 23:59Speaker 4: Probably just missed. It is.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Not you know, yeah, right, yeah, And I hate see that,
- 24:06Speaker 1: but I mean, you know, it's some of it's so
- 24:08Speaker 1: outlandish that I can objectively sit and look at this
- 24:12Speaker 1: conversation from thirty thousand feet and there's a part of
- 24:15Speaker 1: my Philadelphia instinct he goes, this dude's outfit is freaking' rocker.
- 24:21Speaker 1: I get that. I get that aside of it, man,
- 24:24Speaker 1: you know, like it's some of this stuff sounds absolusolutely unreal,
- 24:30Speaker 1: and you know, I'm here to say that none of
- 24:33Speaker 1: it's unreal for us, you know, like it's been a continuous,
- 24:37Speaker 1: ongoing thing. And tell me, don't get the impression like
- 24:41Speaker 1: every time we go out we have some earth shattering
- 24:44Speaker 1: experience like that's I mean, we're out a lot. You know,
- 24:47Speaker 1: Kevin's out, Kevin's gone through stretches of twenty thirty days
- 24:52Speaker 1: out by himself. I mean, like you know, twenty of
- 24:55Speaker 1: those days was a nothing, but you know what I mean,
- 24:58Speaker 1: like it was it was you know, it's just being
- 25:01Speaker 1: out there continuously, you know, and opening yourself up to it.
- 25:06Speaker 1: You know. We uh, we just went to we just
- 25:09Speaker 1: last year, we discovered a spot that actually one of
- 25:12Speaker 1: our guys had had an accounter a long time ago, uh,
- 25:15Speaker 1: kind of further north on the rim, up up near
- 25:18Speaker 1: up a little further north from our normal like you know,
- 25:20Speaker 1: probably twenty miles from our other locations, and we were
- 25:24Speaker 1: we just spent a couple of nights up there a
- 25:26Speaker 1: few weeks ago that were off the chain crazy. I mean,
- 25:31Speaker 1: it wasn't a lot. There was not like Kevin might
- 25:34Speaker 1: have gotten a little blip of communication. But and as
- 25:37Speaker 1: my thing is that these guys don't really know us,
- 25:39Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and yet there's always been
- 25:41Speaker 1: something about when they know that, you know, it kind
- 25:43Speaker 1: of changes a little the paradigm here, you know. And
- 25:46Speaker 1: but the amount of physical activity that was going around
- 25:51Speaker 1: all every night around our campsite was like I've seen
- 25:55Speaker 1: that before, but it was not frequent, and it was
- 25:59Speaker 1: it was it sae I mean from you know, full
- 26:02Speaker 1: figures running between the trees, and I mean it was
- 26:06Speaker 1: it was, you know, and on all the kind of
- 26:10Speaker 1: kind of a cult, not a cult, but but but
- 26:14Speaker 1: more supernatural phenomenon. It seems to occur around these guys,
- 26:17Speaker 1: that twinkle light effect and the auras and just all
- 26:19Speaker 1: this stuff that was going on.
- 26:21Speaker 4: And it wasn't an orbs, you know, And it.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Wasn't like one of those and eye all that the
- 26:24Speaker 1: eye glow all that stuff, and and and it wasn't
- 26:26Speaker 1: like something that I mean that doesn't happen.
- 26:30Speaker 4: Them all the time. You know that, you know, when
- 26:32Speaker 4: it happens like that was awesome, you know what I mean.
- 26:35Speaker 1: But it's something that's taken a lot of time, and
- 26:37Speaker 1: you know, a lot of downtime.
- 26:41Speaker 2: Yeah, so you you've had two sightings.
- 26:44Speaker 1: That answered everything we did.
- 26:46Speaker 2: Dude, you do you can speak and say whatever it
- 26:47Speaker 2: is that you want, Man, I want out there. And yeah, dude,
- 26:51Speaker 2: so you've had two sightings. You said, could you maybe like,
- 26:55Speaker 2: okay for the novice and most people are here because
- 26:57Speaker 2: the new.
- 26:58Speaker 1: Arizona i'd have oh before yeah, before I moved to Arizona.
- 27:06Speaker 1: Did I freeze? Yeah, it's almost freezing somewhere Arizona had
- 27:12Speaker 1: the first encounter. Yeah, the first encounter I had was
- 27:16Speaker 1: when I was out. I was in the Wisconsin Del's
- 27:19Speaker 1: when I was twenty five years old, and that's the
- 27:20Speaker 1: first time this anything, I mean I and then the
- 27:24Speaker 1: second encount the second sighting I had was in was
- 27:26Speaker 1: in southern Rhode Island and in nature preserve, but a
- 27:29Speaker 1: place that I had been continuously going through for a while,
- 27:31Speaker 1: and then this this guy showed himself to me. But
- 27:34Speaker 1: I never had anything since I've been with the with
- 27:36Speaker 1: the Arizona four like it's been. I've probably had honestly
- 27:41Speaker 1: six solid full physical daylight sightings over the course of
- 27:47Speaker 1: the last five years, like easily, you know. And and
- 27:50Speaker 1: you know, like that church camp, we had two in
- 27:52Speaker 1: one day in like in sign of eight hours. It was,
- 27:54Speaker 1: I mean, that's unheard of. It's unheard of, you know.
- 27:57Speaker 1: And right so it's definitely ramped quite a bit more
- 28:01Speaker 1: since uh, since the Arizona experience.
- 28:03Speaker 2: Drock, have you been have you been by any chance
- 28:06Speaker 2: speaking to any of the Navajo Uh people of the
- 28:10Speaker 2: region to try to get into because I I can't
- 28:14Speaker 2: think of his name at the moment, but I'm speaking
- 28:15Speaker 2: with a guy who knows a lot about wind it
- 28:17Speaker 2: goes and the what was it called it? The oh,
- 28:20Speaker 2: I'm going to mess it up? The at Alushi nat
- 28:23Speaker 2: alushilaushi uh which is skinwalkers for the for the novice.
- 28:29Speaker 2: And if you've been talking to him, what have they
- 28:31Speaker 2: been telling you?
- 28:33Speaker 1: You know? So obviously there's a huge Navajo presence in Arizona,
- 28:40Speaker 1: you know, And and and we've all spent a little
- 28:43Speaker 1: bit of time up on the rest and I've made
- 28:48Speaker 1: some inroads with with some of these guys in my
- 28:51Speaker 1: time here, and you know, a lot of their a
- 28:56Speaker 1: lot of what they say conflicts with each other sometimes,
- 28:58Speaker 1: you know. I've heard uh people that I respect and
- 29:02Speaker 1: from the Navajo nations saying don't interact with them, don't
- 29:06Speaker 1: fool them, and stay away from them. And I've heard.
- 29:08Speaker 4: The exact opposite too. I've heard, you know, good spiritual beings.
- 29:14Speaker 1: So I never really know how to respond to that
- 29:17Speaker 1: because there doesn't seem to be a consensus amongst them themselves,
- 29:21Speaker 1: you know. And that's been my experience with them. You know,
- 29:24Speaker 1: Kevin's got a buddy up on the Reds that uh
- 29:27Speaker 1: so some of the verbalizations that that Kevin.
- 29:30Speaker 4: Achieved over over his time.
- 29:33Speaker 6: He took to a Navajo speaker that he knows, and
- 29:37Speaker 6: he was able to gain a little bit of maybe
- 29:40Speaker 6: insight on what does some of these these words mean
- 29:42Speaker 6: that have been.
- 29:44Speaker 4: Spoken to him, you know. So that's that's always interesting.
- 29:47Speaker 1: There's without a doubt, you know, if you want to
- 29:49Speaker 1: look for the ground zero in North America of maybe
- 29:53Speaker 1: some insight and some history, there's no better place to
- 29:57Speaker 1: start than than the First Nations people here.
- 30:00Speaker 4: I mean, it's been in.
- 30:01Speaker 1: Their zech geist to their culture for you know, ten
- 30:05Speaker 1: thousand years, and that's yeah, all over the country. Man.
- 30:08Speaker 3: That's that's very interesting, true, yeah, because you know, like
- 30:16Speaker 3: like I mean, I think and also in like you know,
- 30:20Speaker 3: trying to go a little bit off topic, but it's
- 30:22Speaker 3: it's kind of not like if you go into Okay,
- 30:26Speaker 3: like I would imagine like native cultures of even like
- 30:29Speaker 3: Asia and Africa and and many other places in the
- 30:31Speaker 3: world they have these as well. But I also imagine,
- 30:36Speaker 3: you know, because there's also like you know, uh, Noah's
- 30:39Speaker 3: Ark flood. The flood isn't in many of these people's
- 30:42Speaker 3: like you know, ancient wisdom and stuff like that too.
- 30:44Speaker 3: It's just it's just such an interesting thing. I know,
- 30:47Speaker 3: I look at him smile, and I know I'll get
- 30:49Speaker 3: your particular your your little your fancy there. I know
- 30:52Speaker 3: you enjoy those kind of things that you and I
- 30:54Speaker 3: love that kind of stuff. And it's just it's so
- 30:58Speaker 3: underappreciated by the the science community. And I don't know why.
- 31:02Speaker 3: It's It's in every corner you look, whether it be Cherokee,
- 31:06Speaker 3: Navajo or you know, the Pawony or any of them,
- 31:09Speaker 3: it's there and you just say this, you know, snuffed
- 31:12Speaker 3: or knows that it is, like it's some type of
- 31:14Speaker 3: you know, all these people are in the woods and
- 31:15Speaker 3: they don't know what they're talking about.
- 31:16Speaker 1: But Tom, I'll jump down that alternative historical narrative rabbit
- 31:24Speaker 1: hole anytime you want, brother.
- 31:26Speaker 4: You know, Yea, this is my thing, man, that's my
- 31:28Speaker 4: that's my other passion.
- 31:31Speaker 1: That's for you. And I always vibe right like you know. Obviously,
- 31:35Speaker 1: there's every major culture around the world has a has
- 31:39Speaker 1: a floodstory. I mean every single one of them, from
- 31:42Speaker 1: Southeast Asia to all through Europe and obviously the America
- 31:47Speaker 1: is the South. I mean, they all have it. They
- 31:49Speaker 1: all have one. So you know, that that maybe leads
- 31:53Speaker 1: a little bit of credence to uh to.
- 31:57Speaker 4: You know, some biblical texts.
- 31:59Speaker 1: You know, that's that's an area that that that's a
- 32:02Speaker 1: slippery slope. You know. I think a lot of people
- 32:06Speaker 1: engaged in the Sasquatch phenomenon are always trying many of
- 32:10Speaker 1: them are always trying to force this thing through a
- 32:14Speaker 1: biblical lens, you know what I mean. And you know,
- 32:17Speaker 1: and I'm a faulty Christian. I don't disparage that, you know.
- 32:22Speaker 1: And then then and then you know, then you go
- 32:25Speaker 1: down the Nephilum road and all that all that stuff,
- 32:28Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And and and uh, I
- 32:30Speaker 1: think for the most part, and you know, I'll nod
- 32:34Speaker 1: to keV.
- 32:34Speaker 4: keV is very devout, you know, and.
- 32:37Speaker 1: Yet he is not somebody that's going to say that
- 32:42Speaker 1: he is, you know, And he's not somebody like Kevin
- 32:44Speaker 1: were the first person tell you he does not believe
- 32:47Speaker 1: these guys are of Nephelim descent. I mean, it hasn't
- 32:51Speaker 1: been our experience. And that episode is gonna you know,
- 32:56Speaker 1: and you look, he he goes and his reason podcasts
- 33:07Speaker 1: are for man's calling.
- 33:09Speaker 2: We're doing a little bit of foreshadow and Kevin Kenny's coming.
- 33:13Speaker 1: Guys. Yeah, I'm not gonna rain on Kev's parade, you know,
- 33:17Speaker 1: like Kev's Uh, Kev's taking a deep dive. Kevin knows
- 33:21Speaker 1: the Bible better than most people I know, man, you know,
- 33:23Speaker 1: and uh, that being said, we don't all agree. We agree,
- 33:28Speaker 1: We agree on many things, but you know when like
- 33:31Speaker 1: I'm always very leary and about laying a foundational backstory
- 33:38Speaker 1: to any of this stuff. You know, That's that's what
- 33:41Speaker 1: the experts do, right, Like all these dogs are the
- 33:44Speaker 1: children of Eshaw like whatever that's looking like, you know
- 33:47Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, you know what, that's something you
- 33:49Speaker 1: can believe whatever you want, But you don't know that.
- 33:54Speaker 1: You don't know that nobody. I don't care. How I've
- 33:57Speaker 1: been in this thing for thirty years, Tom, I know
- 33:59Speaker 1: less now than I did twenty years ago. I'm convinced
- 34:02Speaker 1: of it, man, you know, like I and like we
- 34:05Speaker 1: all come.
- 34:06Speaker 4: To this conclusion that the.
- 34:09Speaker 1: Who's, the whys and the house that doesn't hold a
- 34:13Speaker 1: lot of importance for us at all anymore. You know,
- 34:15Speaker 1: it just doesn't you know, the the firsthand nature of
- 34:20Speaker 1: the experiences, the commonalities amongst others, Like if anybody's moving
- 34:26Speaker 1: the ball fall.
- 34:26Speaker 4: You can delve into ancient.
- 34:29Speaker 1: Texts and the Samerian tablets, all the Ananachi stuff, all
- 34:32Speaker 1: the Genesis stuff, and then transition over to the Book
- 34:36Speaker 1: of not to the Book of Giants and the Book
- 34:38Speaker 1: of Dreams. You know what. There might be something in
- 34:40Speaker 1: there that fleshes this out a little bit, but it
- 34:42Speaker 1: is not a defining narrative.
- 34:44Speaker 4: And none of them are. None of them are.
- 34:47Speaker 1: And that's not even including the Native stuff, which has
- 34:49Speaker 1: nothing to do with any Biblical or Samarian or any
- 34:54Speaker 1: of that.
- 34:55Speaker 4: It's got nothing to do with it.
- 34:56Speaker 1: It's a completely different, different backstory now, you know, So
- 35:01Speaker 1: who's right? Who cares? Like? I don't care anymore? Like,
- 35:04Speaker 1: I literally I don't think we're ever going to know.
- 35:06Speaker 1: I'm told we you know, we're pushing up daisies and
- 35:09Speaker 1: they threw the last cloud on. Maybe then we figured
- 35:12Speaker 1: it out, but until then, I'm just sorry. I'm just
- 35:14Speaker 1: seeing it for the ride. Yeah, dude, I don't think
- 35:17Speaker 1: there's anything wrong with it. I don't think there's anything
- 35:19Speaker 1: wrong with it.
- 35:20Speaker 2: I think, like you know, a lot of people, you know,
- 35:21Speaker 2: being a religious person, a person of faith that informs
- 35:24Speaker 2: their life and their decisions in a way they choose
- 35:26Speaker 2: to live life.
- 35:27Speaker 3: I have nothing wrong with that. But me, I'm okay,
- 35:29Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, I'll hear you guys. It could be
- 35:31Speaker 3: very possible, but I want to have everything open.
- 35:35Speaker 2: And like Jim said, you know, Jim, that's just you
- 35:37Speaker 2: know Jim from Fisher's past night Watch. That's his that's
- 35:40Speaker 2: his bread and butter. But he's like, this is what
- 35:41Speaker 2: I believe, and that's fine. But he wrote it there.
- 35:45Speaker 2: It's okay to disagree, and there's nothing wrong with that
- 35:46Speaker 2: because nobody truly knows. There's if we knew, then the
- 35:50Speaker 2: podcast wouldn't we wouldn't be talking right now.
- 35:53Speaker 1: You know.
- 35:53Speaker 2: That's it's it's a it's a genuine mystery that we're
- 35:56Speaker 2: delving into.
- 35:57Speaker 1: That's I always say that, yeah, and that we're all
- 36:02Speaker 1: addicted to you know. I mean I always say that,
- 36:05Speaker 1: like and then not dismissively. But you know, when we're
- 36:09Speaker 1: out doing our deal and we're documenting our experiences, that's
- 36:12Speaker 1: important to me more than literally anything else but podcasts.
- 36:17Speaker 1: This is where you can delve into theory if you like,
- 36:20Speaker 1: and we can we can examine take things out of
- 36:23Speaker 1: the out of the box, look at it and whatever
- 36:25Speaker 1: put it down, you know.
- 36:26Speaker 4: I mean I have just like many of us that
- 36:29Speaker 4: have been around us for a minute.
- 36:30Speaker 1: I mean, nobody money has got access to information that
- 36:35Speaker 1: it's like, oh, here's the secret sauce man, that we
- 36:38Speaker 1: don't all have at our at our fingertips, you know,
- 36:41Speaker 1: like you know I I and there's some great researchers.
- 36:44Speaker 1: I mean if I listen to guys like Timothy Albarino
- 36:46Speaker 1: or Ellie Morzouli or or you know, some of these
- 36:50Speaker 1: guys that are just so well versed and and taken
- 36:55Speaker 1: the deepest dives of all you know, any of these
- 36:58Speaker 1: guys can latch onto a narrative and put up a
- 37:02Speaker 1: really convincing argument for him, you know, and back it
- 37:05Speaker 1: up the source material. But you know, I can remember
- 37:09Speaker 1: one time arguing with keV a long time ago, and
- 37:13Speaker 1: I'm bringing up some of the similarities between the Sitchen
- 37:20Speaker 1: translated UH version of the of the Sumerian Tablets, where
- 37:26Speaker 1: there's a very common element Genesis story. I mean that
- 37:32Speaker 1: you know, the faces and the names are changed, but
- 37:34Speaker 1: the bones of the story are identical Genesis, you know.
- 37:38Speaker 1: And and you know, Kevin has dismissed a lot of
- 37:43Speaker 1: that animachy stuff a long time ago, you know what
- 37:45Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I don't know, you know what
- 37:47Speaker 1: I mean?
- 37:47Speaker 4: But I will say that he's made one solid point.
- 37:50Speaker 1: You know, if you believe in the enemy, you believe
- 37:53Speaker 1: in an.
- 37:54Speaker 4: Evil force, that that it's move our spiritual life in our.
- 37:58Speaker 1: Physical life on a daily and that that maybe lives
- 38:01Speaker 1: outside of time. It doesn't matter. Like what's to say
- 38:04Speaker 1: that that stuff wasn't planted there seven thousand years ago?
- 38:06Speaker 1: Just the cake.
- 38:10Speaker 4: On the table, right, you know it really is?
- 38:14Speaker 1: And Ken is right about that, Like I don't know,
- 38:16Speaker 1: you know, like, well I could prove this from the
- 38:20Speaker 1: Samario tablets from six thousand years ago. Well, how do
- 38:23Speaker 1: you know that stuff wasn't just a bunch of freaking
- 38:25Speaker 1: fiction planted there by the devil just to screw people's
- 38:27Speaker 1: brains up? Like who knows? Man, you know, like anything's
- 38:30Speaker 1: on the table.
- 38:30Speaker 4: With this stuff at this point.
- 38:32Speaker 1: You know, there's very little that I won't believe, you know,
- 38:36Speaker 1: because I've seen unbelievable things. You know.
- 38:38Speaker 2: No, Okay, so what is the uh? What does there's
- 38:45Speaker 2: a there's a lag, man, there's a lag in time.
- 38:47Speaker 2: We're doing our best guys. Uh, what's the okay now
- 38:51Speaker 2: that you guys are coming public? Yeah, we're doing good, buddy.
- 38:55Speaker 2: What is the what is the overall what is the
- 38:58Speaker 2: plan going forward with the eras on a four? What
- 39:00Speaker 2: is your guys plans to uh to bring this information
- 39:03Speaker 2: to life? I got that, dude.
- 39:10Speaker 1: I think we're going for you know what for us,
- 39:15Speaker 1: For us, it's business as usual, it really is, you know.
- 39:18Speaker 4: I mean, you know, our meat and our.
- 39:20Speaker 1: Bread and butter or the meat and bones of what
- 39:22Speaker 1: we do is out in the words man, you know
- 39:23Speaker 1: what I mean.
- 39:24Speaker 4: And getting out there.
- 39:27Speaker 1: Every year, I think something maybe a little bit more
- 39:29Speaker 1: gets revealed to us, like something they can do or
- 39:32Speaker 1: they'll say something or you know. So I think like
- 39:35Speaker 1: living in the experience is our plan moving forward? You
- 39:37Speaker 1: know the platform, you know, we want to do it
- 39:43Speaker 1: well and kind of do it right, but do it
- 39:45Speaker 1: do it foundationally the right way and and and and
- 39:48Speaker 1: be authentic to ourselves and how we are. And I
- 39:51Speaker 1: think we definitely have one mindset with this is that
- 39:55Speaker 1: we are all super close. We trust each other, and
- 39:58Speaker 1: we love each other and and I think, yeah, right,
- 40:02Speaker 1: I mean I'm just the best friends man, you know.
- 40:04Speaker 1: And I think that if at any point we feel
- 40:08Speaker 1: like this thing is creating a drag and friction and negativity,
- 40:13Speaker 1: we'll pull the plug. Man. You know, like that is
- 40:16Speaker 1: so not important. You know, I don't think any of us,
- 40:20Speaker 1: I feel like we want to be the man, you
- 40:23Speaker 1: know what I mean, and none of us really are
- 40:25Speaker 1: too interested in uh, you know, hitting the conference circuit
- 40:32Speaker 1: and you know, trying to trying to be somebody. If
- 40:36Speaker 1: I wanted to do that, I could have done that
- 40:37Speaker 1: a long time ago, you know what I mean. I
- 40:39Speaker 1: mean gift of gab. I know how to get out
- 40:42Speaker 1: there and speak, so does keV. I mean, we're all
- 40:45Speaker 1: we're all able to do that, you know.
- 40:46Speaker 7: So I think keeping the ego out of it and
- 40:49Speaker 7: just put out the meat and potatoes of what's happening
- 40:52Speaker 7: to us and bring it to you guys to examine
- 40:54Speaker 7: it and make you take up from what you want.
- 40:57Speaker 2: Man.
- 40:57Speaker 4: You know, like.
- 40:58Speaker 1: That's that's what we're doing. I'm not trying to Uh,
- 41:01Speaker 1: nobody's trying to reinvent, and nobody's trying to have our
- 41:04Speaker 1: own television show. You know, I don't.
- 41:11Speaker 2: Such a cool thing. I love like you know, I
- 41:14Speaker 2: don't know if you know who Trey Hudson is he
- 41:16Speaker 2: does the Metal Project. He's kind of doing the same thing,
- 41:18Speaker 2: but he's more you guys are more like experiential friendship experiential.
- 41:23Speaker 2: His things are like, you know, he's like out there
- 41:25Speaker 2: like uh, you know, he's out there with his you know,
- 41:27Speaker 2: with his meters, and he writes everything. He's very he's
- 41:30Speaker 2: former military and d O d or I can't remember exactly.
- 41:34Speaker 2: He really writes everything down and he's very ridiculous about it.
- 41:38Speaker 2: But he's the same thing. He makes you sign an
- 41:40Speaker 2: d if you go out there, not an NDE. What
- 41:43Speaker 2: he's not making you sign a near death experience? What's
- 41:46Speaker 2: the work? Yeah, indeed non disclosure, Yes, yes, non disclosure
- 41:55Speaker 2: inde my own today, Mr Mr already to eat? I
- 42:00Speaker 2: know those man, oh the forum chicken patties that were
- 42:03Speaker 2: the grosses. I'm sure that's that's some military stuff. So
- 42:14Speaker 2: I've been Yeah, could you could you go into like
- 42:20Speaker 2: maybe like some of the experiences that like to give
- 42:23Speaker 2: people a little bit about what's going on out there?
- 42:26Speaker 3: Uh, what you guys are like running into that? You
- 42:28Speaker 3: both get that you all are. I mean, of course
- 42:30Speaker 3: you have different you know ways or you're seeing it
- 42:32Speaker 3: and the expressing it when with words. I think words
- 42:35Speaker 3: are probably a hindrance and explaining some of this. But
- 42:38Speaker 3: what would be something that you all agree on that
- 42:41Speaker 3: happened that you that you experienced for the for the
- 42:44Speaker 3: listening audience.
- 42:48Speaker 1: So we have had so okay, let's go. Let's go
- 42:53Speaker 1: to the mind speech stuff, right, So the when it
- 42:57Speaker 1: we've had times where it's manifested where like all four
- 43:01Speaker 1: of us have heard literally the exact same message at
- 43:04Speaker 1: the exact same time, and like we'll we'll put a
- 43:07Speaker 1: count on it. Okay, what do you hear?
- 43:09Speaker 5: Three?
- 43:09Speaker 4: Q one say it?
- 43:11Speaker 1: And it's like lines up identically, you know what I mean,
- 43:13Speaker 1: whether it's a name, a quick message, they don't.
- 43:17Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so like.
- 43:18Speaker 1: That's so validating, Like because honestly, Tom, when this first
- 43:23Speaker 1: happened to me, like that happened to me, I mean
- 43:25Speaker 1: I had to really question my sanity for a second,
- 43:28Speaker 1: I really did, you know. And you know, Kevin initially
- 43:32Speaker 1: probably had those experiences before most of us did, just
- 43:36Speaker 1: because he was out there the most, you know. And
- 43:39Speaker 1: uh so when that happens, that's super validating. And I've
- 43:44Speaker 1: had some off the wall. I've got a story to
- 43:48Speaker 1: tell you a mind speed story. All right, Okay, so
- 43:52Speaker 1: about well exactly almost a year ago to today, about
- 43:56Speaker 1: within two weeks, right, my father passed through it. Right.
- 44:00Speaker 1: So at the time I'm driving up to meet Kevin
- 44:04Speaker 1: for a two or three nights up on the Rim
- 44:07Speaker 1: with him, like if something we'd planned out, my dad
- 44:09Speaker 1: was in hospice back east in Cape Maine, New Jersey.
- 44:13Speaker 1: And so I'm driving. I'm probably about forty five minutes
- 44:18Speaker 1: away from getting to the site, and I'm driving on
- 44:21Speaker 1: the main highway that runs below the movie on Rim.
- 44:25Speaker 4: It's the two sixty.
- 44:26Speaker 1: It kind of goes from like it crosses Arizona all
- 44:29Speaker 1: the way over to New Mexico.
- 44:30Speaker 5: Right.
- 44:31Speaker 1: So, as I'm driving, my brother calls me, right and
- 44:35Speaker 1: he tells me that the dad had literally just passed.
- 44:39Speaker 1: And so I pull over to the side of the road,
- 44:41Speaker 1: I call my family, call my kids, and I'm sitting
- 44:45Speaker 1: in the car.
- 44:45Speaker 4: I'm like, what am I supposed to do here?
- 44:47Speaker 1: I mean, I'm in the middle of East Nothing, Arizona,
- 44:51Speaker 1: and you know, I know that I got to get
- 44:53Speaker 1: back east from your funeral arrangements and all that stuff's
- 44:56Speaker 1: coming up, right, But I'm like, what internally, what am
- 44:59Speaker 1: I supposed to do to he? You know? And so
- 45:01Speaker 1: I made the decision, you know what, I can't think
- 45:04Speaker 1: of a better way to process my dad's death then
- 45:09Speaker 1: out in nature with my best friend who's also some
- 45:12Speaker 1: of a spiritual advisor for me in some ways, right.
- 45:15Speaker 4: And so I, uh, I just I decided to continue.
- 45:17Speaker 1: On with my plants. So I get up on the
- 45:23Speaker 1: top of Rim Road, on the three hundred, which goes
- 45:25Speaker 1: it's a road's a generous term. It's a trail that
- 45:28Speaker 1: runs across the top of the Rim for miles from
- 45:31Speaker 1: end to end, you know, and it's kind of like
- 45:32Speaker 1: the edge of it. And then I cut into one
- 45:38Speaker 1: of the side forest roads which goes back to way
- 45:40Speaker 1: back to where our camp is going to be. And
- 45:43Speaker 1: I get to the crossroad of two trails, right, and
- 45:46Speaker 1: I'm bouncing along with my tacoma, and I'm kind of
- 45:48Speaker 1: contemplating my dad, you know, and I get I come
- 45:52Speaker 1: to a stop just real quick at this at this intersection,
- 45:55Speaker 1: I mean, it's just two trails. I get this deep
- 45:59Speaker 1: female voice in my head that says, literally, we mourn
- 46:05Speaker 1: review the loss of your father, and we celebrate that
- 46:07Speaker 1: he is at peace. With the creator now, I mean,
- 46:10Speaker 1: and it was this isn't something I was generating. This
- 46:14Speaker 1: was this was one of them sending me a personal
- 46:18Speaker 1: message to me. And I started as shake because they and
- 46:23Speaker 1: i'd been kind of My dad and I had a
- 46:24Speaker 1: complicated relationship, but we loved each other. And I pulled
- 46:28Speaker 1: over to you know, I pulled over and I'm shaken.
- 46:31Speaker 1: I start to tear up. I get emotional because I
- 46:33Speaker 1: just lost my dad and that's what happens to me.
- 46:36Speaker 1: And so I kind of pull it together and I
- 46:40Speaker 1: head on down the trail and I see Kevin came
- 46:43Speaker 1: up about five minutes after I pulled away from this intersection,
- 46:46Speaker 1: and he jumps in the car with me and the
- 46:48Speaker 1: truck with me, and I tell him what just happened,
- 46:50Speaker 1: and he knew my dad a little bit, you know.
- 46:52Speaker 1: So we get back to the campsite, and that night
- 46:59Speaker 1: was a top three experiential night of my life.
- 47:03Speaker 4: It was so powerful. I mean, they.
- 47:08Speaker 1: Right at dusk, we saw they had a sight of
- 47:12Speaker 1: a white one and it sat like above a down
- 47:16Speaker 1: tree and just stared at us for a freakishly long
- 47:20Speaker 1: period of time. It was minutes minutes, and that's you know,
- 47:24Speaker 1: you see one of these guys, it's like, uh, you know,
- 47:27Speaker 1: usually fairly brief, you know, And so that was unique.
- 47:31Speaker 4: And then that night, I mean they were they put
- 47:36Speaker 4: on a light show like that.
- 47:38Speaker 1: I mean just from the twinkle light phenomenon that's going on,
- 47:42Speaker 1: and they were all around us and we had So
- 47:45Speaker 1: this is gonna sound crazy. I'm just gonna tell a story.
- 47:47Speaker 1: Kevin had had a friendship with one of these guys
- 47:51Speaker 1: that passed away a few years ago, and and that's
- 47:54Speaker 1: another story all in himself. And if he told I'm
- 47:57Speaker 1: not going to tell that story because he was on
- 47:58Speaker 1: I bet he told her too, and maybe actually, but I.
- 48:04Speaker 4: So this is.
- 48:06Speaker 1: Of course, yeah that's worth that means to come out
- 48:10Speaker 1: of Cav's mouth. So but this, this friend of Kevin's
- 48:18Speaker 1: mate was came into the camp and she she she
- 48:21Speaker 1: stood in front of us like cloaked, uncloaked, then cloaked
- 48:25Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, and talked to both
- 48:28Speaker 1: of us and we both heard everything for a good
- 48:32Speaker 1: at least minute minute and a half, and then she
- 48:34Speaker 1: walked off and she repeated what she said to me
- 48:38Speaker 1: about my dad. That's who had spoken to me. Her
- 48:41Speaker 1: name was.
- 48:41Speaker 4: Aiden, and gone. I don't know one of them female.
- 48:44Speaker 4: I always forget whether the brother the two of them
- 48:45Speaker 4: is again.
- 48:46Speaker 1: And gone and one of them determination for female and
- 48:49Speaker 1: the other one's termination for male. Anyway, she sat and
- 48:51Speaker 1: and that entire night it was just like almost like
- 48:55Speaker 1: like the energy in the camp was just almost like
- 48:58Speaker 1: a celebration of my dad's life of grieving with me
- 49:01Speaker 1: and I choked up talking about it because it was
- 49:03Speaker 1: it was really powerful and uh so, yeah, that was
- 49:07Speaker 1: a that was a story.
- 49:09Speaker 4: That's made that happened.
- 49:12Speaker 1: It's incredible, dude, what is the you know, you know,
- 49:16Speaker 1: anybody you know when you hear the stories about these
- 49:18Speaker 1: guys being what is the tweakle light phenomena? Great question?
- 49:23Speaker 1: Couldn't answer it. I just know that it happens. It's
- 49:26Speaker 1: it's this like light manifestation that's an energy discharge almost.
- 49:31Speaker 1: It seems to occur when they're around, and you know,
- 49:36Speaker 1: it looks like little L. E. D Lights popping off
- 49:41Speaker 1: wherever they're at, you know, And and to me, it always
- 49:43Speaker 1: kind of when I start seeing them, it kind of
- 49:45Speaker 1: like hurlds their presence like they're coming, like, you know,
- 49:50Speaker 1: very rarely would we ever see one of these guys
- 49:52Speaker 1: without that happening, you know what I mean, and so
- 49:55Speaker 1: and and you know, then we get into theories about
- 49:57Speaker 1: what this is and what that is.
- 49:59Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know if it's something that.
- 50:02Speaker 1: They discharge when they're for lack of a better term,
- 50:06Speaker 1: crossing the veil or de cloaking or whatever that is,
- 50:09Speaker 1: Like whatever that is, it's something that manifests when they're there,
- 50:14Speaker 1: you know. And you know, we've had hours and hours
- 50:18Speaker 1: and hours of discussion about the possibilities, but I don't know,
- 50:23Speaker 1: and none of us know, and there's not a member
- 50:25Speaker 1: of the hours on the flour that's gonna say, well,
- 50:26Speaker 1: that's what, just because we just don't know, you know,
- 50:30Speaker 1: it just happens when they're there. And then you know,
- 50:32Speaker 1: and there's other little kind of you know, we get
- 50:35Speaker 1: this thing that kind of looks like the Aurora borealis
- 50:38Speaker 1: going on and it lights up. It's just ravy rainbow
- 50:41Speaker 1: colors that they go on. And I don't know what
- 50:45Speaker 1: that is either. I mean, we you know, there's a
- 50:48Speaker 1: there's an element to these guys that is so shrouded
- 50:51Speaker 1: in mystery and how they do, how they do what
- 50:53Speaker 1: they do, why they do what they do. I mean
- 50:57Speaker 1: that is literally at this point, anyone's guess, you know what,
- 51:00Speaker 1: I'm arrogant enough to say that if we don't know,
- 51:08Speaker 1: I don't know. Who does, I don't know? No?
- 51:13Speaker 2: Are they different? Are they different colors? The lights? Are
- 51:16Speaker 2: they just one one color? Or are they different colors?
- 51:19Speaker 2: Are there or the lights?
- 51:22Speaker 4: It's like a Christmas tree.
- 51:27Speaker 1: It's it's almost like a Christmas tree, like it's you know,
- 51:29Speaker 1: a little red pops and then a blue pop, then
- 51:32Speaker 1: a white pop, and it's just a random mix of
- 51:37Speaker 1: it almost looks like really bright fireflies, you know what
- 51:40Speaker 1: I mean, or or and there's no fireflies up on
- 51:42Speaker 1: the nogan rim like that's not what it is. But
- 51:44Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's like that. Like I said, it's
- 51:46Speaker 1: almost like a like a Christmas decoration going off all around. Wow,
- 51:52Speaker 1: that's what it looks like.
- 51:53Speaker 2: It's it's it's must that's like an enchanting kind of thing.
- 51:57Speaker 1: It's more like that.
- 51:58Speaker 3: It's like just a feeling I think I get because
- 52:01Speaker 3: of course I don't know.
- 52:02Speaker 2: You don't know.
- 52:02Speaker 1: I'm not even there. You would know better than I know.
- 52:04Speaker 2: But it's almost like it's almost like like spiritual or something.
- 52:08Speaker 2: It's much different because a lot of people, a lot
- 52:10Speaker 2: of people's experiences are like in either gifting or they
- 52:13Speaker 2: get bluff charged or they get paced out of the woods.
- 52:15Speaker 2: It seems a little bit more like get away from us.
- 52:19Speaker 2: But they seem to have accept that you guys into
- 52:22Speaker 2: the area and to like communicate with them.
- 52:27Speaker 1: I got to give Credit Network credits due to that.
- 52:31Speaker 1: You know, I mean none of this and I will
- 52:34Speaker 1: say this. I'll never say he's probably listening. I don't
- 52:36Speaker 1: even want you to hear this, keV. But none of
- 52:38Speaker 1: this happens. I won't say that Kevin's the catalyst for
- 52:43Speaker 1: all of this, but Kevin's the one who opened that door.
- 52:47Speaker 1: He really did, you know. They He developed a degree
- 52:51Speaker 1: of trust for these guys. It's unparalleled in my experience.
- 52:55Speaker 1: And as a result of that, I received the same
- 53:00Speaker 1: thing Robbie, Wayne did. We We all kind of got
- 53:04Speaker 1: accepted by this. And it didn't happen overnight either, you know,
- 53:07Speaker 1: but it happened. And you know, none of that probably
- 53:10Speaker 1: happens without Kevin having this. Uh kicked off this friendship
- 53:15Speaker 1: with one of these guys, you know, a long time ago.
- 53:17Speaker 4: So I don't know if that's the was the intro
- 53:21Speaker 4: for all of us or not.
- 53:22Speaker 1: But you know, I mean, you know, when when Kevin
- 53:27Speaker 1: shares about his experiences, unless you've been there, unless you've
- 53:31Speaker 1: seen it, it sounds like something out of a Tolkien novel.
- 53:34Speaker 4: I mean, it is.
- 53:35Speaker 1: Unreal and and he might be the most authentic, honest
- 53:41Speaker 1: man I've ever met in my life.

- 55:01Speaker 1: video and media platforms is not their favorite thing, especially
- 55:07Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But they're both fine and
- 55:10Speaker 1: super smart, super intelligent guys. They participate in the growth
- 55:13Speaker 1: of this thing in their own way, and and a
- 55:15Speaker 1: lot of it is good advice. You know. They'll they'll
- 55:20Speaker 1: craft a post and they'll craft an experience and put
- 55:23Speaker 1: it out there post Wise, they'll always participate if we
- 55:26Speaker 1: do something in the camp, you know what I mean,
- 55:27Speaker 1: Like and and and Robins.
- 55:28Speaker 4: They were both great, eloquent.
- 55:32Speaker 2: You know, fantastic. You know, I mean, I'm guessing this
- 55:36Speaker 2: is Kevin. I'm not sure it could be one of
- 55:38Speaker 2: the other two gentlemen. He said, tell him, I guess
- 55:41Speaker 2: you tell me about the crazy town we walk that

- 57:27Speaker 1: you know. I've seen guys involved with this to get
- 57:32Speaker 1: so absorbed and so obsessed with this topic that they.
- 57:37Speaker 4: Eat and breathe it. Now, you know what I mean.

- 58:32Speaker 3: the people that I enjoy talking with. You know, it's
- 58:35Speaker 3: a lot to keep up with sometimes and sometimes I just,
- 58:38Speaker 3: you know, i'd be like, Okay, it's weekend, you know,

- 58:48Speaker 3: take a step back and kind of enjoy and live
- 58:52Speaker 3: life too.
- 58:52Speaker 2: And I understand them, and it makes a lot of sense.
- 58:55Speaker 2: It gets hard sometimes, you know, Well.
- 59:00Speaker 1: So I've watched this. I mean, I've got to sit
- 59:02Speaker 1: back in an armchair for thirty years and watch the
- 59:04Speaker 1: evolution of this phenomenon from a public I was.
- 59:09Speaker 4: I was doing this before there was such thing as
- 59:11Speaker 4: Google of the Internet, you know what i mean.
- 59:12Speaker 1: So I've seen this thing kind of you know, metastasized
- 59:16Speaker 1: into a whole different thing, you know. And but I've watched,
- 59:20Speaker 1: you know, like, so I've watched you know, the people
- 59:24Speaker 1: that get like so fixated, and You've had some guests
- 59:27Speaker 1: that are like this on the on the videography and
- 59:30Speaker 1: the and the you know, the backwards camera ship, like
- 59:32Speaker 1: all that Scott Carpenter stuff and whoever Harley Owens. But
- 59:34Speaker 1: I've watched that for so long, and I've seen people
- 59:37Speaker 1: just get so to the exclusion of everything else in
- 59:41Speaker 1: their life. And let's face it, I mean, I'm passionate.
- 59:45Speaker 1: I'm as passionate today as I've ever been about all
- 59:47Speaker 1: of it, you know what I mean.
- 59:48Speaker 4: But I also recognize that, you know, I've seen guys.
- 59:53Speaker 1: I have a somebody who really well, that's got a
- 59:56Speaker 1: super successful platform and he's huge, I mean, and yet
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: I've watched his family.
- 1:00:05Speaker 4: Life disintegrate, his career disintegrate.
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: And it's three sixty five, twenty four seven, you know
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: what I mean, I mean for ten to eleven, twelve years,
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: and it breaks my heart because like it's like, hey,
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: you know, you're you're you're missing out on so many things. Man.
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: You know, nobody's gonna discover the secrets of the Earth tonight,
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: you know, and.
- 1:00:26Speaker 4: You're not gonna do it, and I'm not gonna do it,
- 1:00:29Speaker 4: So you know what, you might as.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: Well enjoy some of the other things that are going
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: on that God blesses you with. Man, you know, your wife,
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: your kids, whatever you're passionate about in other areas. You know,
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: for me, it's always it's about recovery. You know, I
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: live in that recovery world with you know, I've in
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: recovering from drugs and alcohol for a long time, right.
- 1:00:46Speaker 4: And and and helping other guys get clean and sober.
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: Like I'm passionate about it's passionate about me as I'm
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: about this, like it's you know, oh, it's so important
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: to me, you know what I mean, And so like
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: I have that outlet for that need for balance, you know,
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: and so I can step away and I can do that,
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: you know, kind of it's kind of symbiontic. It all
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: kind of blends together for the way. You know, it
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: wasn't always like that.
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: So yeah, I did didn't to make like a to
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: make like a to make a what's the world I'm
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: looking for? Not a synonym, but uh, you know, like
- 1:01:24Speaker 3: life is like if life was like a like a song,
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: you know what song that you know, you know, if
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: you're a rock guy like myself or a metal head
- 1:01:31Speaker 3: like myself, which song do I know that only has
- 1:01:33Speaker 3: one note? You know, you it's it's it's everything. So
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: like I guess we're trying to say, guys, like this
- 1:01:39Speaker 3: is this is a fantastic and what it is, it's
- 1:01:42Speaker 3: a discovery that's so big that we can't understand that
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: we simply can't. But to to phyxiate on anything one
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: thing in your life is not healthy. You need to
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: broaden your perspective. That means looking out as well as
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: looking in and then kind of enjoy it too, man,
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: because it's your days are numbered way or another, and
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: there's people out there who love you and depend on you,
- 1:02:04Speaker 3: and there's people that you want to help, and you know,
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: you know, God willing, and all the good graces that
- 1:02:08Speaker 3: you put out into the world is what you get
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: back as well. And I think it's really cool that
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: we get to to.
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: Get to do this. You know, we live in a
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: day and age where we get to do this. And
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: I think it's awesome that you bring that up, dude.
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: I think it's really awesome that you get to say
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: something like that. Dude. I think it's I think it's
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: a good idea.
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: It's critical, you know, it's it's it's it's critical. And
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: you know what, t me. I get it because I
- 1:02:35Speaker 1: can remember there's been periods when I was younger, where
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: I was so absorbed and fascinated with the why and
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: the how and.
- 1:02:43Speaker 4: Just the entire you know that, Oh my god, this
- 1:02:46Speaker 4: is real thing.
- 1:02:47Speaker 1: You know what I mean, that it did it. You know,
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: it starts to cancel out other things in my life,
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: and you know, and and and and some of that
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: time was you know, when I was uh, you know,
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: still still after of an addiction to you know what
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: I mean, And there wasn't no, there's no balance there.
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: There's none of that perspective, you know, I mean, sobriety
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: and being clean and working in recovery that's given me
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: balance in this thing too, you know what I mean,
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: Like I recognize this is so much fun and so
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: cool and so unique.
- 1:03:18Speaker 4: It's indictive sometimes, you know what I mean. It's literally
- 1:03:21Speaker 4: you know.
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: If I'm not careful, you know, I could you know,
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: use it in the same manner, you know what I mean,
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: And I and I never want to do that. I
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: like having the ability to do other things, you know
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: what I mean. And I and I prioritize it, you know.
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: Yeah, So it gave you like perspective, you know, being
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: the recovering you know whatever. I don't know exact I
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: think you told my thing it was alcohol. If I
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: remember it, you know that that it makes you because
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: you know people do have.
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: That that gives you. It gave you the totally kid to.
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: It gave you the toolkit to be able to, like,
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: you know, with these experiences that you're having with your
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: you know, with your friends and your family, uh, to
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: to give you that perspective to step back. It kind
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: of helped you. It was like an awful thing that
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: you had to go through, but at the same time,
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: it gave you a tool in which you can let
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: go about the rest of your life, dude. And I
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: think that's that's that's commendable and incredible dude. So yeah, dude, Uh,
