• 3:47
  today. I am so excited to introduce my friend Bob Kelly O'Kelly. Bob
• 3:53
  O'Kelly, Okay, Bob O'Kelly grew up in Atlanta, graduated from the University
• 3:59
  of West Georgia in nineteen seventy, and was immediately drafted into combat in Vietnam.
• 4:04
  Most of his early adult life was spent in Atlanta selling building materials.
• 4:10
  Later in life, he owned a residential construction company, and in his late
• 4:14
  fifties he was employed by the military contractor KBR as a truck driver in Iraq
• 4:20
  during the recent war. There. It was there he wrote his first book,
• 4:26
  The Original Baby Boomer, in his second, Bad Roads for Good Men.
• 4:30
  The Original Baby Boomer, is a novel about his experiences in Vietnam.
• 4:34
  Bad Roads for Goodmen is a novel about his experiences driving a truck during the
• 4:39
  Iraq War. On return to the States, he retired to Carrolton, Georgia.
• 4:44
  I'm familiar in that town and that's where he lives now. Since retiring,
• 4:48
  he has written four more novels under the pseudonym Roland O'Connor, and all
• 4:54
  his books are available on Amazon. And we're going to talk about his books
• 4:58
  later in the show. But please help me. Welcome to the show today,
• 5:01
  mister Bob O'Kelly. Hello, Bob, how are you? Hey?
• 5:06
  I am I'm excellent and I am so honored that you came and join me
• 5:11
  here today. Thank you. It will be it will be well. First
• 5:15
  of all, I want to thank you for your service to our country.
• 5:17
  Um, yes, I know that was that was quite an experience for you
• 5:24
  being in Vietnam. And uh, I can't even imagine just from just being
• 5:30
  drafted to go to Vietnam right out of college. It was a different world
• 5:34
  then then. That was, to say the least on our mind. Yeah,
• 5:40
  getting drafted, Oh my gosh, how old were you when? I
• 5:46
  guess I graduated at twenty two, twenty two twenty three when I got drafted,
• 5:50
  which is a little older than most because I wasn't college graduate. And
• 5:56
  yeah, also, if you were called college graduate, they tried to encourage
• 6:00
  you to go to officer candidate school and but the only thing they would offer
• 6:06
  you was an infantry job. So virtually all of us turned it down,
• 6:12
  and in doing so, we didn't realize but that condemned us to be being
• 6:17
  in combat. We didn't, you know, I went in thinking, oh,
• 6:21
  I got a degree, they'll put me in finance. No, you
• 6:26
  know, when I got to my platoon, most of the people had some
• 6:30
  college and some had graduated. One guy had a master's degree. We had
• 6:35
  one guy with only a high school diploma and one dropout. And at the
• 6:40
  time they were saying that only minorities were being drafted and that that's just that
• 6:48
  may have been true earlier in the war, but it wasn't true when I
• 6:50
  was there. You know. Wow, So I mean you immediately were put
• 6:55
  on the front lines, right, it's quite a shot. That's what the
• 6:58
  original baby boomers about. Um. When I worked in Iraq, I worked
• 7:03
  with younger truck drivers, younger military people, and they I was amazed how
• 7:10
  little they knew about what happened to the Boomer generation. And so that's what
• 7:15
  motivated me to write the book original baby Boomer and was trying to explain to
• 7:23
  younger people. I just felt like our story was getting lost. But the
• 7:28
  book has been more popular with older people than younger people because it's they can
• 7:34
  relate to it. But that's why I wrote it, was was to explain
• 7:41
  what happened. The book is largely me. It is a novel, and
• 7:46
  all of the Vietnam stuff is accurate. But when it comes to the rock
• 7:50
  Ape, I wish I had written more. We'll get into why I didn't
• 7:56
  a little bit a little bit, but um, well, you you had
• 8:01
  actually told me when when you were telling me the story about it, you
• 8:05
  you were very clear that you did not know what that was that y'all were
• 8:07
  dealing with at the time. If I had, I might have heard about
• 8:13
  something footprints being found bigfoot, you know, maybe, but it wasn't in
• 8:18
  the consciousness like it is today. We just didn't think about it. And
• 8:22
  when I got to Vietnam, I had heard the stories of the rock apes,
• 8:26
  and they were like, okay, so there's monkeys to throw rocks,
• 8:31
  a big deal, you know, And and I'd heard of Monkey Mountain and
• 8:35
  that was named by the Marines, and it didn't you know, it didn't
• 8:41
  so what you know, and um in the story as it happened to me,
• 8:46
  I guess I'll go ahead and tell it. I was like three days
• 8:52
  in the bush, brand new, scared to death, right, And at
• 8:56
  night we would camp and you know, like the old day circle of circle
• 9:03
  perimeter, and somebody sometimes two had to be up all night long. It
• 9:09
  was my turn, and so we were just sitting there and I've got my
• 9:13
  M sixteen across my lap, and I hear footsteps right, and footsteps it's
• 9:18
  imported in this and and then the trees kind of start shaking, and I
• 9:24
  wake up a more experienced guy and he says. At first, as I
• 9:28
  recall, I remember it's fifty five years ago or more, it's walking,
• 9:33
  and I, you know, it definitely was walking. Okay, that's important,
• 9:37
  and so he says, well, I won't repeat what he said,
• 9:41
  but he told just blink out the cuss and shoot that motherfucker. So I
• 9:48
  found at the at the in the in the bushes, and when I did,
• 9:56
  this creature ran out across ran across the perimeter. Our captain had had
• 10:03
  a jungle hammock, which was not military issue. He wasn't really supposed to
• 10:09
  have it, but he did because it sleeps better. You know, it's
• 10:13
  not a hammock with a cover and all keeps mosquitoes off and all that.
• 10:16
  Sta it flipped him over and ran out the other side. Now, for
• 10:22
  most of my life, I just if you read my book, it's just
• 10:28
  bear is mentioned, you know. And I was just only trying to get
• 10:31
  the humor the captain being flipped out of the bed out of it, not
• 10:35
  trying to say anything. And I didn't realize what I had seen until I
• 10:41
  watched a YouTube documentary that I have not been able to find again. But
• 10:48
  it you know, in this it's that there are no apes in Vietnam that
• 10:54
  are bipedal that walk. They're all in the trees. They don't generally move
• 10:58
  at night. Now, these rocket were supposed to style on you walk,
• 11:03
  watch and curious, you know. And that's I think what this thing was
• 11:05
  doing when I shot at it. And uh so when I saw this documentary,
• 11:15
  I realized what I had seen, and I thought, good lord,
• 11:18
  I saw I saw the equivalent of Bigfoot. And and and you know,
• 11:24
  I'm like, I know what I saw. I know you've heard that before.
• 11:28
  And uh and and then you know, watching this thing is um and
• 11:35
  the Mark Felton, which is a very good one. I found that again.
• 11:41
  Mark Felton is a historian. I know him because I watched a lot
• 11:46
  of YouTube videos about World War Two and he has a z and of them,
• 11:50
  and he did some on Vietnam, and in his Vietnam he did the
• 11:54
  one on the rocket. And uh, these things were seen first by the
• 12:03
  Marines and and that's that's why they named that mountain Monkey Mountain. And then
• 12:09
  then the Army song, the North Vietnamese song, the viet Cong song,
• 12:13
  and the people that the indigenous people, the mountain yards that live in the
• 12:18
  central islands. It's been in their culture forever and and they are there.
• 12:24
  I don't know. I don't think there's probably a lot of them, but
• 12:26
  um, it could be there, well be. And I did not know
• 12:31
  to I saw this documentary Mark felt was documented virtually the same thing as the
• 12:37
  one I originally saw. Um, I didn't know that. I didn't know
• 12:43
  that they didn't know, you know, everything in all the monkeys and all
• 12:48
  in Vietnam did not walk. I did not know that. Yeah, And
• 12:52
  uh, I didn't know that the mountain yards and then the indigenous people that
• 12:58
  that's were you know, seen them. I just didn't know what i'd seen
• 13:01
  and uh until I saw that. And then I met your grandmother, which
• 13:09
  is she's ninety two years old, just had her birthday last week's party.
• 13:16
  Yeah. Yeah, the last I saw he was at her birthday party.
• 13:20
  Yes, believe it or not. She comes to open mic here in Carrollton,
• 13:24
  Georgia. Everyone and and and your mother kind of follows into now and
• 13:37
  I late in life decided to start doing open mics. And that's how that's
• 13:43
  how I met your family. And your your uncle is a is a well
• 13:46
  known musician around and uh right, and uh, just kind of odd the
• 13:54
  way we met and we were talking about this stuff over loud music, trying
• 13:58
  to hear each other. That's right, half deaf anyway, but it was
• 14:03
  It's been fun, you know. Yeah. Well I'm excited that I met
• 14:07
  you. And I told my mother, you know, because you and I
• 14:09
  actually kind of connected talking about remote viewing. Yeah. Yeah, so so
• 14:16
  that's so we'll get into that with your book, because you gave me one
• 14:18
  of your books and it's it's pretty amazing. And I'm impressed with your remote
• 14:22
  viewing skills by the way. Uh you know I do a show on remote
• 14:26
  viewing on Thursdays. Yeah, well, you know I can't draw, and
• 14:31
  he claim to fame with that. I kind of felt like I quit while
• 14:35
  I was ahead. You know, well that's okay. Yeah, And and
• 14:39
  and you know, when you're remote viewing, you don't need to know what
• 14:43
  you're viewing. In fact, you need You're not supposed to, that's right.
• 14:46
  And and you know, in day to day life for me, what
• 14:52
  I would like to view, I know what it is, so that kind
• 14:56
  of limits you. You know that somebody and as to remote view something and
• 15:01
  gives you a reference number, you know what I mean, yeah, that's
• 15:09
  that's different. And now the only thing that I did to learn remote viewing
• 15:13
  was watched I think her name was Prudence Cara Vic, don't I remember that
• 15:18
  she had a course on YouTube and all it was was a weekend course you'd
• 15:24
  given somewhere. They just filmed it and it was long, and I just
• 15:28
  played like I was there and did what they said and then started. I
• 15:33
  think that's called sight monkey or something where they give you coordinates and you remote
• 15:39
  view and then you look a picture and you see how you did. And
• 15:43
  I was doing remarkably well, and I thought, I just I didn't have
• 15:50
  a really a use for it. But I thought, you know, I'm
• 15:52
  quitting while I'm ahead, because I was really I was tearing it up,
• 15:56
  and I thought, you can't keep this up at this um uh right,
• 16:03
  you know. Yeah, Well, well, you know what, I think
• 16:06
  it'd be interesting to remote view that the incident that you had with the rock
• 16:11
  ape out in Vietnam. I think that would be something a cool target for
• 16:14
  me to do. Actually, yeah, but you know what it is?
• 16:17
  Yeah, well, okay, well how about can you describe kind of what
• 16:21
  this rock ape looked like or whatever? This feeling was, you know,
• 16:26
  it ran, it did not leave off or swing off trees. And I
• 16:32
  you asked how tall it was. I don't think it was six feet tall,
• 16:37
  but it was like way bigger than five five five eight something like that
• 16:41
  about my height. Okay, yeah, that's three tall actually, I mean,
• 16:47
  you know, yeah, and uh, it seemed to happen. Now,
• 16:55
  you gotta remember it's dark out there. When it's dark, Uh,
• 17:02
  it's just really hard to see. But it appeared to have for and and
• 17:10
  I don't know that I could say what color it was. It was just
• 17:11
  a dark shape running across the thing, now, believe you mean. And
• 17:18
  it should not be hard to find other gis that saw rock apes over there.
• 17:22
  It was relatively common where we were. Now, if you were in
• 17:26
  the south part of Vietnam, you probably never never, might not have heard
• 17:30
  it. But we were in the central highlands where they where they where they
• 17:37
  are. You know. Let's see, I've got a map here. Let's
• 17:40
  see if you're on if if you're the location where you were is on this
• 17:44
  map. Okay, a little bit south of denying about where that first hump
• 17:51
  appears, maybe between the first and second zag back right around in there,
• 18:00
  so wow, where we were south of denying that I was in the America.
• 18:06
  They're headquartered in July, which is south of Denye, and I was
• 18:10
  in the eleventh wor Gade which was a duct foe, which is south of
• 18:14
  that, and then we would go north, I think, if I recall,
• 18:18
  it was twelve miles to a firebase called San Juan Hill and that's where
• 18:23
  we worked off of them. But when we would you know, they would
• 18:26
  pick us up in helicopters there and take us wherever. You know, it's
• 18:32
  always in that area. But you know, we really didn't know where we
• 18:34
  were, you know. So well, when I saw those documentaries, they
• 18:41
  were dead on the money, you know as to where the area we were
• 18:45
  in. It's not it's you know, so that was made it more credible.
• 18:51
  I guess. Yeah, well, Michael's in the chain. Michael,
• 18:53
  he says that, yeah, there was. The Mark Felton production video is
• 18:57
  about fifteen minutes of a lot of information and it doesn't really it really jam
• 19:02
  packs everything into that fifteen minutes that first video. It really does, and
• 19:07
  it's very convincing too. He doesn't say yes, they're there, but he
• 19:11
  sure makes a strong case and then then says, you know, g guys
• 19:15
  out of their mind. And I don't think it's just too I think too
• 19:21
  many people have seen these things too well discounted. Well, there was actually,
• 19:27
  uh, these predate the Americans being there for sure. The locals,
• 19:33
  they're referred to the jungle people, okay out there before before the Americans ever
• 19:38
  showed up in the mis named them the rock apes. Yeah, well yeah,
• 19:44
  and didn't that sort of sounds like the bigfoot sasquashing from the Indians because
• 19:49
  those I understand, you know way more about this than I do. Oh
• 19:52
  no, I know a little bit. How much I just learned. I
• 19:57
  just started learning from it. You you what, I just started learning about
• 20:03
  it after I met you and I asked you to come on my show.
• 20:04
  I had to do my research. Well, I'm talking about Bigfoot. Oh,
• 20:07
  Bigfoot absolutely, now you know, that's been their history, the Native
• 20:15
  America's history forever. You know. Some people say they're ancient. They they
• 20:18
  are some of the first beings on this planet, and they well may well
• 20:22
  be. I have some strange ideas stuff I don't know if I want to
• 20:29
  get into it or not. Well, well, you're listen. I am
• 20:30
  a very I'm one of the more open minded people you're ever going to meet,
• 20:34
  probably, And I know that you and I are on the same frequency,
• 20:37
  Bob, Yeah, we are, we are, We really are.
• 20:41
  Yeah. So I mean you can discuss whatever, whatever your opinions are on
• 20:44
  it if you want. I mean, let's just say when I was in
• 20:47
  the tenth grade taking biology and they tried to explain evolution. Well, I
• 20:52
  don't have a problem with things evolving, but then they said that the force
• 20:56
  that causes was natural selection. And I want now, and I don't know
• 21:04
  what if I'm sticking myself out here, I say, I talk about being
• 21:11
  interdivisional and stuff, and then and then go back into being spirit and then
• 21:17
  crystallize until finally they just stay, you know, and um, you know,
• 21:25
  maybe that's what goodfoot does. It may not be physical all the time.
• 21:30
  Yeah, now that's to me is out there, but I have had
• 21:34
  that thought. Let's just put it that way. Well, well, I
• 21:37
  can tell you from experience that I have watched orbs float through the woods and
• 21:42
  then right as the orb disappears, there's a growl and a grunt from a
• 21:45
  big foot right in front of me in the treatment. Really, yes,
• 21:48
  I've seen. Okay, yes, and not a boss was there. She's
• 21:53
  in the chat today, I know, yeah, she was there with me.
• 21:56
  Hundreds of people listening and some of this uff. I don't tell her
• 22:00
  my best friends. We're gonna say, thousands of people listening today. Okay.
• 22:04
  I was when I was driving a cub not in a rack in Cartersville,
• 22:11
  Georgia. I'm sitting waiting to go into the Budweiser plant there and I
• 22:15
  saw an orb in daylight just come floating by, you know. I called
• 22:19
  I was married. Then I called my wife and said, you're not gonna
• 22:23
  believe what I just saw, you know, So there you go. What
• 22:27
  was it solid or was it like see through? More like a distortion of
• 22:34
  the light and everything, you know, like kind of looking through a lens
• 22:40
  or water as it went by. You know, it was very strange.
• 22:45
  Well, you were very open minded, Bob, and I appreciate that about
• 22:48
  you. Well, thank you. Yes. Do you do you think that
• 22:55
  you having that experience not knowing what the rock ape was, if that was
• 22:59
  a rock ape, do you think that once you realized what that was,
• 23:00
  did that expand your consciousness in any kind of way or were you all no
• 23:06
  it really didn't because I was too terrified because I was just in Vietnam,
• 23:14
  hadn't been there a few days, and it just um, I wasn't thinking
• 23:18
  about anything like that. You know. Yeah, I'm sorry I froze there,
• 23:26
  but I was cool and kept talking. Thank you. I know,
• 23:29
  I was like, oh I froze. It happens occasionally. Yeah. Well,
• 23:33
  so you you what my question was, where I got frozen? You
• 23:37
  know, you were you were very open minded, probably from a young age,
• 23:41
  I'm assuming, but do you think that having that experience and realizing that
• 23:45
  that could have been a rock ape, did that expand your consciousness later on?
• 23:49
  As I said, while you were frozen, okay, I was too
• 23:55
  scared. I was not thinking about anything like that. If it did,
• 24:00
  I was like unaware of it because I was basically in survival mode, you
• 24:04
  know. And yeah, okay, well when you when you got to Vietnam,
• 24:12
  uh I remember you tell me that you were really worried about tigers attacking
• 24:17
  you. I wasn't really worried about it until my my uh I got to
• 24:23
  my oplatoon and they had just come in and they had killed a tiger and
• 24:29
  uh um, uh so I didn't I wasn't around to see the tiger.
• 24:33
  Actually I wasn't. I probably should have been more concerned about them than I
• 24:37
  was, but uh um, you know, I was back in the days
• 24:41
  of having your pictures developed, and the pictures came back, and the guys
• 24:47
  I knew saw had the pictures of the tiger, and uh and the original
• 24:55
  documentary that I saw, they had pictures of it, and that Mark Felton
• 25:00
  has different pictures of it. And I looked and looked and tried to recognize
• 25:04
  if that was my particular platoon, but I really couldn't tell if it was
• 25:11
  or not. Wow, well, you know, I actually I did some
• 25:15
  research and I was typing in and some search engines. You know, tigers
• 25:18
  in Vietnam during Vietnam War, and there were a lot of tigers that were
• 25:23
  killed by troops out there, a lot. I didn't want to pull them
• 25:26
  up because I don't want you two to flag my video, but a lot
• 25:30
  of dead tigers with US troops. Let's lask you for that. I know
• 25:34
  they don't like dead people, but yeah, no, even in the even
• 25:38
  Bigfoot stuff, isn't we getting They'll they'll take your videos down for anything these
• 25:42
  days, So we have to be careful showing that stuff. But I gotta
• 25:48
  do is type in tigers and Vietnam during the Vietnam War, just there's a
• 25:53
  lot of them, So that hadn't been terrifying. I mean, not only
• 25:56
  are you there a young man straight out of college put into a combat situation,
• 26:02
  worried about tigers attacking you, gunfire, rock apes, okay, just
• 26:07
  having having something flipping over your commander in his in his hammock. And I
• 26:14
  mean, that's it's gotta be uh life changing, all of that. Well,
• 26:18
  I suppose I'm sure it was. It was, absolutely it was.
• 26:22
  It makes you more aware of what can happen us some as and I do
• 26:33
  still feel this way that, um, we live in America. We haven't
• 26:40
  made so well, we live in a bubble and we just don't realize what
• 26:45
  it takes to keep it safe here and what can happen, you know,
• 26:48
  and uh so, uh yeah it can be. Uh you know, think
• 26:59
  about though you're you know, you're a college boy drinking beer and chasing girls,
• 27:03
  right and then the next thing, you know, I mean, within
• 27:08
  s February, within six months here in combat, you know, and it's
• 27:14
  just it really was. But that's kind of what my original baby Boomer is
• 27:18
  about, because it was such a change at the time I started to West
• 27:26
  Georgia, where you know, an orientation, we had to have on a
• 27:32
  coat and tie when we went to when we went to lunch on Sunday to
• 27:37
  Sunday, we had to appear as though we had been at the church,
• 27:41
  whether we had or not. And you had to go in a coat and
• 27:44
  tie to eat your Sunday lunch. By the time I left, everybody had
• 27:48
  hair down to their button. We had co ed dorms and hard rock music,
• 27:53
  and it was like that. The world changed in nineteen sixty seven,
• 27:59
  really what they call it the Summer of Love, and that really was a
• 28:03
  watershed for our culture. Um, it just changed overnight to more that's what
• 28:10
  it is today from what it was in the fifties, you know, And
• 28:14
  that was that was you know, if you weren't young, you probably wouldn't
• 28:19
  have been able to handle it, you know. I mean it was really
• 28:22
  quite quite stark. So wow, yeah, that it's just it's really unimaginable
• 28:32
  to me to when I was explaining to my son about this, He's only
• 28:34
  eight, and I was explaining to him kind of about the Vietnam War and
• 28:40
  and in the rock I was telling about the rock apes, but I kind
• 28:44
  of veered off talking about the war and how you know you soldiers were treated
• 28:48
  when you came back from war, and uh, it just it wasn't right.
• 28:52
  You know, there was a lot that was rather ugly. Uh,
• 28:56
  sometimes it really really was hurtful. Yes, I can't I can't even imagine.
• 29:03
  And I'm sorry that y'aught you and your fellow veterans had to go through
• 29:08
  that. So but I appreciate you, Bob, I appreciate you very much.
• 29:14
  And so yeah, and I appreciate you telling us a story about the
• 29:17
  rock apes. Now did anyone else in your troop? Did anybody else say,
• 29:22
  oh, that could have been a rock aper? Have you talked to
• 29:23
  them about this since then? No, I don't. I just think we
• 29:27
  accepted the fact that some animal, gorilla whatever ran across our perimeter. And
• 29:34
  if it hadn't been walking and running, you know, but it didn't like
• 29:40
  there's nothing over there like that. Everything swings from trees and it's you know,
• 29:45
  smaller, and I have no doubt that sooner or later they're going to
• 29:49
  find it, you know. And I did not know this at the time
• 29:53
  either, But we were in parts of the jungle where few people, if
• 29:57
  any, had ever been, you know, and you know, I did
• 30:03
  not know we were so thick in the jungle. Now to tell you the
• 30:07
  truth, of course, I didn't mind the jungle. I'm actually kind of
• 30:11
  liked it. But we want to understand. We were being fed and given
• 30:15
  water and stuff like that. I suppose if you know what you're doing,
• 30:19
  it probably wouldn't be that hard to survive out there. But uh, you
• 30:25
  know, so I probably have a because I was taken care of, I
• 30:29
  probably have a warped view of the jungle. But just from day to day,
• 30:33
  it was really very beautiful, you know. Wow. So well,
• 30:37
  okay, speaking of it not being it's kind of like unchartered territory out there.
• 30:42
  I was reading about some of the explorers that have been out there,
• 30:47
  and I believe what we know is Vietnam to day, it was kind of
• 30:49
  I don't know if it was taken over by the French at some point it
• 30:53
  okay, And I don't know my history of Vietnam very well. So you
• 30:57
  made you made you probably know a lot more to do about this, And
• 31:00
  thank you, Renee for that. Super chat. That is so sweet of
• 31:03
  you. Um okay. So they back in I think it was like the
• 31:06
  eighteen hundreds or so, or it might have even been before that. They
• 31:10
  were exploring the jungles out there, and it's written that some of them encountered
• 31:15
  wild men with tells. Well, now, yeah, I saw that,
• 31:18
  but you know what I don't we call say, I don't didn't it didn't
• 31:21
  have a tail one. Yeah, I saw that and uh um yeah.
• 31:27
  The French, I don't know when they came, but it was a French
• 31:32
  colony forever, and uh, a lot of Vietnamese folke French and a lot
• 31:37
  of the words that the Gis use like bookoo, that's really not Vietnamese,
• 31:41
  that's French, you know. And a lot of the Vietnamese are Catholic because
• 31:47
  of the French, you know, oh wow wow. Well they well they
• 31:52
  had a name for them too, the Moy. I believe they called the
• 31:55
  Moy and it's the wild men or savages is what they called them. Uh
• 31:59
  in this in the books that they you know, in their journals and things
• 32:01
  like that. So yeah, and also in nineteen twelve, this is something
• 32:07
  else. There was a book published by a French explorer, and it said
• 32:10
  the natives kind of took care of the wild men, or they knew about
• 32:15
  these wild men out there, but they wouldn't really talk about it very much
• 32:19
  to people that weren't from there. Yeah, and in that Mark felt and
• 32:22
  things said they never hunted them, you know, they didn't like attack them
• 32:27
  or anything. I wonder if the people there was a I guess you would
• 32:31
  call it a tribe called the Mountain Yards, and we were instructed to leave
• 32:36
  them alone, you know, and they were on our side. And and
• 32:40
  I don't recall seeing any that I could identify as the Mountain Yards anyway,
• 32:45
  but some pictures, you know, they they had spears and things that you
• 32:50
  would think were way old fashioned for Vietnam, you know, but they were
• 32:55
  there, well, very primitive then. Yeah, yeah, I actually found
• 33:00
  some pictures of Okay, So there's there's other types of the sasquatch type,
• 33:05
  like wild men or whatever you want to call them. I'd say wild men
• 33:09
  or I don't know, rock apes, we'll just say rock apes, okay,
• 33:14
  and uh, and and so in different parts of Asia they have different
• 33:19
  names from them, like in China they have the year in let me see
• 33:22
  here, if I can pull these pictures up. I think I have pictures
• 33:24
  of the year and um, but they have let's see in China they have
• 33:30
  the year and I don't think I pulled up a picture of that one.
• 33:32
  But um, something similar to this. This, This is the orange pindac.
• 33:37
  I think it's how you pronounce it. Um, that that is something
• 33:42
  that could be seen like this. This is something that people kind of described
• 33:45
  as seeing some of the some of the books about rock apes kind of describe
• 33:49
  it as looking like that. Yeah there, well for a level, you
• 33:52
  know, that looks more fierce than what I think, remember that I saw,
• 33:58
  but about like that, about that same size, just not that scary
• 34:04
  looking. So you're saying it was a little more goofy, Yeah it was
• 34:08
  not. If it may have been hostile, but it didn't. It didn't
• 34:15
  have like, well that's kind of more like it, except maybe that it
• 34:20
  might have been a little more stoop than that. You know, Okay,
• 34:23
  so it could you know, Yeah, yeah, I've got, I've got.
• 34:30
  I just had a few pictures just that I found when I was doing
• 34:32
  my little, my little bit of research there. Um, But yeah,
• 34:37
  I mean how in the stories that I didn't I didn't get like an idea
• 34:42
  of like how big these rocks were. They're throwing rocks for they like pebbles,
• 34:45
  the boulders, and we probably all of it. Yeah they I didn't.
• 34:53
  They didn't throw rocks at me. Now these are the story, and
• 34:57
  I'm assuming they were just you know, like that. I don't know,
• 35:01
  you know, And when you think about it, I wonder where they got
• 35:05
  them, because it's not exactly a lot of rocks laying down in the jungle,
• 35:08
  you know, so they must have been getting them from a creek or
• 35:12
  something. You know. I just never really thought about that. But you
• 35:17
  have to ask a marine. I did not see that. I have to
• 35:20
  ask. Now you were in the army, Yeah, okay, wow,
• 35:25
  all right, So yeah, I did not realize there were not a lot
• 35:30
  of rocks there. So that's interesting. They're called rock apes, but there's
• 35:32
  not a lot of rocks. No, there's not. Now, you know,
• 35:37
  the Monkey Mountain, I heard of it. If I've been there,
• 35:40
  I didn't know I was there, and so I can't really say what's on
• 35:45
  Monkey Mountain. But in general, in the jungle, they're just not you
• 35:50
  know, be hard pressed to pick up pick up rocks off the Jungle Floor.
• 35:59
  You know very well. I was listening to that Mark Um what is
• 36:07
  it? Mark felt in video actually and some of and I wanted to give
• 36:10
  him credit because I got some of my information from that that video that I
• 36:14
  watched that he made. And uh, and they were taught. They jokingly
• 36:17
  the Marines jokingly called it the Battle of dong Din. Okay. It was
• 36:22
  when the when the rock Apes which they named them rock Apes came and were
• 36:27
  they injured some of the Marines with the rocks that they were throwing. Really,
• 36:30
  yeah, you know, did that happened? They didn't just make this
• 36:37
  stuff up. They didn't laugh about it and all you know it, it
• 36:42
  really happened. They're really there. There's just no doubt about it. Well,
• 36:46
  okay, so I actually have some of the battalions that were there,
• 36:50
  like the in nineteen sixty eight. Um, I believe it was Company I
• 36:55
  Chicken Scratch. I don't know if please forgive me if I wrote this wrong.
• 36:59
  Company M third Battalion Marines. They had rocks thrown at Monkey Mountain.
• 37:02
  Okay. This was like an ambush team that they were in ambush and got
• 37:07
  ambushed by rock Apes. Okay. Yeah, and uh, and then in
• 37:10
  nineteen sixty nine, Company D, first Battalion, Second Infantry Regime, A
• 37:15
  regiment they were resting having lunch, reported an encounter with eight rock apes.
• 37:21
  They came walking down the trail. They thought that they were the opposition,
• 37:24
  and they opened fire on them. Yeah, yeah, I don't have doubt
• 37:30
  that a bit. Now, that seems very plausible that they would open fire,
• 37:37
  you know. Yeah, well, well you you actually opened fire on
• 37:40
  one and did you, you know, hit and at the end of the
• 37:46
  dark end of the bush. I don't you know, I may have hit
• 37:50
  it. I don't if I hit it, I didn't kill it. I
• 37:52
  know that ran it was able to run whether I hit it or not.
• 37:55
  You know, Now, were there any reports of any of these getting shot
• 38:00
  and anybody's found or any there? I'm assuming not no. But I was
• 38:05
  just thinking about that when you talked about the Marines shooting at him on the
• 38:08
  trail. It wouldn't surprise me, if it wouldn't surprise me at all.
• 38:13
  In fact, I'd be surprised if somebody didn't hit one at some point,
• 38:16
  you know. But I don't know if anybody finding a body or anything.
• 38:22
  Well, I was actually talking with a friend, right before the show today,
• 38:24
  and he actually it was I won't go ahead and tell you it was
• 38:27
  Dave Scott was spaced out radio and I was I was telling him about you
• 38:30
  coming on my show, and he's oh, so excited about it. Now.
• 38:35
  He was telling me a story about that he had heard of the troops
• 38:38
  fighting the Americans versus the Vietnamese, and they were in battle, and the
• 38:44
  rockets got in between them and started fighting each side in the middle of the
• 38:47
  battle. I had never heard that. Well, that was something he had
• 38:52
  heard. Son, No, it could be possible. It's got to be
• 38:55
  hundreds of guys that saw these things. It's you know, if you've looked
• 39:01
  around and started counting, I think you could find a lot. Well,
• 39:07
  well, I'm excited just to hear your story today because not a lot of
• 39:09
  not a lot of these men have come out and talked publicly about it.
• 39:13
  And uh, and so this is the first interview I've ever seen in public
• 39:16
  of someone talking about it. So, Bob, thank you for being here
• 39:20
  with me. And we're not done with this interview, by the way,
• 39:22
  We're about more to talk about. But I just wanted to thank you for
• 39:25
  speaking out publicly about it. Okay, Well, yeah, that's awesome.
• 39:30
  It's really awesome because I know that was a that was a very rough time
• 39:35
  over there. And yeah, yeah, it was very long ago. I'm
• 39:39
  pretty old. You're not You're not that old. You're not that old.
• 39:45
  You're not that old. Shout out to grandmother Nellie today. We love grandmother
• 39:54
  Nellie. Happy, happy belated birthday. Yes. Well, well at some
• 39:59
  point you you came home and you you started writing books. You actually went
• 40:01
  back to Iraq and started driving truck in Iraq. I don't know. Okay,
• 40:07
  here's how this happened. I was married, not very happily, and
• 40:15
  I had just really kind of got this. I've been married twice, Okay,
• 40:21
  I kind of just was disgusted and I just went I worked for a
• 40:28
  computer company, and I you know, and I met a lot of truck
• 40:31
  drivers in my job. And I had gone back to school and was studying
• 40:37
  programming, was going to make a career in that. And the company went
• 40:43
  out of business and I just went, screwed, I'm gonna drive a truck.
• 40:45
  So I went to truck driving school with a we got a little severance
• 40:50
  packing and and you know, I was single, and it was really kind
• 40:55
  of fun, you know, threating your stuff and putting on cowboy boots and
• 41:00
  driving across country and all that. Yeah, and uh, And I was
• 41:09
  in O, Califlorida, and I heard some guys. I just overheard a
• 41:15
  conversation and the guy said, well, Jim got back from a rat today.
• 41:19
  He said he made enough money to pay off his house. And he
• 41:23
  said it was okay, you know, And I said, well, I
• 41:28
  called. When I called my wife that night, I told her about that,
• 41:31
  and to my shock, she said, that doesn't sound like a bad
• 41:36
  idea coincidence? Had it that where she worked she worked for a government contractor,
• 41:43
  and two of the earl co workers had taken a leave of absence and
• 41:47
  gone over there to do something. I think we're work on pumps or something,
• 41:52
  and came back and they were all talking about how great it was.
• 41:58
  So I went home and I got online and I put in an application with
• 42:01
  KBR. Three hours later, they called me back and tentative to um background
• 42:08
  check. They hired me, and of course I got by the background check.
• 42:14
  And then right after Christmas of two thousand and five, I'm January first.
• 42:20
  I think I went to um um uh Iraq. You know, and
• 42:29
  then started driving the truck, and the war when I went over there had
• 42:34
  kind of subsided. But after I got there, I like, well,
• 42:42
  you know, but uh I stayed. I stayed over there five years too,
• 42:47
  and then so and then then got divorced again and lost all my money.
• 42:52
  So I'm back to square one. Well you don't have plans to go
• 42:55
  back to you to Iraq? No, no, man, I'm too old
• 42:59
  now. But uh I was pretty old then. In fact I went over
• 43:04
  there, I was fifty nine, you know, so that's pretty old,
• 43:07
  you know. So, um, well, it takes it takes a tough
• 43:12
  soul to go over there during wartime and drive a truck. Yeah, and
• 43:15
  you know, you think a guy like me is like much old war guy,
• 43:20
  but I'm exactly the opposite. You know. Well, you do go
• 43:22
  to yoga, I do know that about you. Yeah, yeah, I'm
• 43:25
  the Well when I go to the open mic, your grandmother talks me for
• 43:30
  being the oldest one there. But yoga, I'm the oldest, you know.
• 43:35
  So well, there's there's beautiful ladies at that yoga. I'm sure.
• 43:39
  Yeah, I see, I know, I know what you're doing. They
• 43:44
  took a group picture and me and this other older guy are staying around all
• 43:49
  these beautiful young women. And I posted on Facebook this is why I do
• 43:52
  so much yoga. You know, I don't blame you. Hey, do
• 43:58
  you know what? You only live once, well, this lifetime at least,
• 44:00
  and uh man, you have had quite a life, you have.
• 44:04
  Seriously, you don't you deserve to be surrounded by a beautiful limit at the
• 44:07
  young studio. And the reason that's been quite a life as I did everything
• 44:13
  wrong, you know. And uh my brother, you know, he married
• 44:19
  his college sweetheart, had a family and jobs in the house and all that,
• 44:24
  and he's not gonna see this, but sometimes I think he envies me
• 44:29
  because I've had all this adventure and stuff in my life and mostly because I
• 44:36
  did everything wrong. And you know, let's face everything wrong. It's saying
• 44:39
  deciding you're going to go drive a truck, and I rack I would not
• 44:44
  call that normal behavior, you know, but I did. And everything happens
• 44:50
  for a reason. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Everything that's happened to me
• 44:54
  makes me when I am today, and that includes getting drafted in Vietnam.
• 44:59
  It cludes all of it. All the bad things, all the good things
• 45:04
  make you what you are, you know, and and as you age,
• 45:07
  I think you get better. I think I'm a better person than I was
• 45:10
  when I get with you. You know, I think you're a great person.
• 45:15
  Bob, Well, thank you. I do you are a great person.
• 45:19
  Yeah. Now when you were in Iraq, did you visit any of
• 45:21
  any sacred spots out there? Well, um, I was okay. We
• 45:27
  we were like thirty five miles south from Miszool and we were always going to
• 45:30
  Missoo and then for a while I was stationed there too. Miszoo is none
• 45:35
  of them in the Bible, and the words are there and I've seen those.
• 45:38
  And on the base, um, there was a I think they said
• 45:43
  it was the oldest surviving Christian monastery, but it had been closed down because
• 45:51
  because of the Islamic Revolution. But it was there, and uh, we
• 45:59
  would see them Assyrian. We were right where that was, and sometimes we
• 46:06
  could see the ruins uh as we blowed by and stuff. And but I
• 46:10
  we were never we weren't allowed to go with them because um uh uh they
• 46:19
  just you know, they kept the gies out for good reason. They get
• 46:23
  going up. But one of my friends, and of course I can't verify
• 46:27
  this, he was stationed in Babylon, and he claims he slept in um
• 46:32
  Um the lines, then David and the lines. Then he claims he slept
• 46:37
  where that was, you know, so he literally slipped in the lions Den,
• 46:42
  that's what he says. Anyway, man, I mean, who knows
• 46:45
  that you know, um or in the Rook and all those places are interact.
• 46:51
  It's really a very historical area. And from our firebase, uh from
• 46:57
  I was a base called San Juan, that's yet No. I was at
• 47:00
  Key West. It's not Key West, it's q West, the name of
• 47:06
  the base in Iraq. And from that you could see a tell. In
• 47:10
  a tell is like a mound where um they've piled up cities after city after
• 47:17
  city on top of each other. There was nothing living there now. And
• 47:21
  I don't want one of my friends that said that they had never excavated that
• 47:27
  archaeologists had not ever gotten to that mound. I don't know how he knew
• 47:30
  that, but you know, and I don't know the name of it anymore,
• 47:34
  but that's amazing. And you would see these kind of models of the
• 47:40
  tower, you know, you see the picture of the the Tower of Babble
• 47:45
  that circles around. You would see models of that out in along the road.
• 47:52
  I don't know what what they were really, you know, Wow,
• 47:57
  that's awesome, interesting, very interesting. Well, okay, getting back to
• 48:01
  the cryptids and uh, and to the kind of the rock apes have you.
• 48:06
  Have you experienced any other kind of odd phenomenon like UFOs and things like
• 48:10
  that. I wish I would say a UFO, you haven't. No,
• 48:16
  Well, that saw a possible one and I decided it was a satellite across
• 48:22
  the sky. But that happens. Well, Hey, maybe I have to
• 48:27
  take you out big footing with my crew sometime. I bet you would have
• 48:30
  a good time doing that. I think it would be fun, to be
• 48:31
  honestly, and you know, yeah, yeah, if you're into if you're
• 48:36
  into camping out and stuff, we go out pretty deep into the mountains.
• 48:38
  So yeah, I got some even at my age, I have some camping
• 48:45
  gear. Um, well your age, you're still you're doing yoga and doing
• 48:50
  all sorts of fun stuff. Okay, so you were were, You're fit,
• 48:53
  you can handle it. It helps. The way I started doing yoga
• 48:58
  was I'm fairly heavy now, but I was even heavier and I was walking
• 49:05
  with a friend all the time, and uh, and he just we were
• 49:10
  in the coffee shop, you know, Gallery Road coffee shop there and and
• 49:16
  uh, he just said, well, you ought to do senior yoga with
• 49:20
  us, and I'm going yeah, you know, and and a girl named
• 49:25
  Adele walks in and and I kind of knew her more or less, like
• 49:31
  hello, how are you? And he said, well, there's the instructor
• 49:36
  right there. And so she came back and oh, yeah, you ought
• 49:38
  to do it. So I said, okay. It was a free program
• 49:42
  for seniors at the hospital, which not far. So I did it and
• 49:46
  I fell in love with it. And that program has since ended, and
• 49:52
  uh, you know, Adele has gone a whole bunch of places, and
• 49:54
  she has all these older groupies that just follow her around. And then she
• 49:59
  came aim to Red Rock, which is literally in your mother's backyard. Well
• 50:05
  don't say that on on on the web, so people don't know. Okay,
• 50:10
  okay, and it's okay, and uh, you know it's I just
• 50:19
  love the place. And you know, I do yoga every day but Wednesday.
• 50:22
  So yeah, that's amazing. That's how you keep so fit though,
• 50:28
  Yeah, I have it is It is like the fountain of youth. To
• 50:34
  me, it made all the difference in the world in my life, you
• 50:37
  know, because you start getting stiff, you start doing what I call the
• 50:42
  old man shuffle. And I was just beginning to do that well in your
• 50:50
  mind, and you're you're keeping your mind shark by writing all these books too.
• 50:52
  Yeah, and tell me about all your books that you've written. I
• 50:57
  know I've got one of them right here. Yeah, okay, well that
• 51:00
  would be the one that's the most interesting for this particular group. And Edward
• 51:07
  Javere Okay, I guess I watched too much YouTube. But one day I
• 51:10
  was like, I was watching something that it was called The Last Will and
• 51:15
  Testament, and it was a full fledged documentary about who wrote Shakespeare. And
• 51:21
  all of these people, including Lynn Red Gray, who is a movie star
• 51:25
  from My My Heir, you know, including Mark Twain. All kinds of
• 51:34
  people don't believe that Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare. And they convicted me. And the
• 51:39
  most likely candidate is Edward Davie. He was an old woman in Elizabeth's court
• 51:47
  and and well he could you know, he was known to write and whatnot.
• 51:55
  And you know he had traveled to you, to Italy and all the
• 52:01
  places that Shakespeare mentioned. Shakespeare never left England, you know, and how
• 52:07
  does he know about all this stuff? So, you know, and they
• 52:10
  had meek against that. Probably Edward de vere did write it. And so
• 52:16
  I was thinking of a new and I'd just done that remote viewing thing.
• 52:22
  So I said, well, all right, why don't we take and have
• 52:29
  I had written so much about West Georgia. My daughter went to Embery University
• 52:31
  in Atlanta. I have a degree from there. Yeah, yeah, and
• 52:42
  she So I said, I can't use West Georgia anymore. I've already written
• 52:46
  two books that involved the college I went to. So I said it in
• 52:51
  Embury. And even though I grew up in Atlanta, I didn't grow up
• 52:53
  in that part of Atlanta. If you were to tell me to go find
• 52:57
  Embury University right now, I would have of our time is tucked away,
• 53:02
  it really is. And uh uh, so I said it in Emory and
• 53:09
  um and these students, one of them a historian, one of us on
• 53:16
  theater major. And they go to a lecture and become convinced, like I
• 53:22
  did that that that Edward Vera wrote Shakespeare and so um uh they've also gotten
• 53:31
  involved in a remote viewing thing. Uh this right off campus. Now,
• 53:37
  this is a little bit scary. Uh West Georgia. Here in Carrollton is
• 53:44
  the one of few schools that has a parapsychology department. Right, that's right.
• 53:50
  The head of one of my teams actually graduated from there with a degree
• 53:52
  in it. Tree Husson. Yes, well, I'm at this Earth Day
• 54:00
  IPYS celebration. I told you I'm but anyway out of Talposa. Wellness,
• 54:07
  Sarah, they where they have the possum drop every New Year's Eve. Well,
• 54:13
  no, it's really named for the Tlepoosa River. It's it's yea Carleton,
• 54:19
  It's not in Tlepoosa, Georgia, but they do it. Okay,
• 54:22
  okay, anyway, and I meet, I meet the head of that department,
• 54:28
  and I start telling her about my book. And I said, I
• 54:31
  have a professor at ambry And and this is my logic. Well, I
• 54:37
  said, I cannot say. Emory University is investigating remote viewing. So I
• 54:44
  had a professor have an off campus remote viewing um, business studio whatever you
• 54:51
  want to whatever you call them. And she says, oh, you must
• 54:54
  mean is it corrib and first night? What are you talking about? And
• 55:00
  she says, Courtney Brown is a professor at Emory and he has an off
• 55:06
  campus Farsight Institute off campus, and I went, you're kid and me and
• 55:12
  she said no. And I said, well, either I want to have
• 55:15
  to change this character or call Courtney Brown and one or the other, because
• 55:19
  that's just too close. So I made the character female rather than male.
• 55:24
  And I'm kind of sorry I did too, To tell you the truth,
• 55:28
  I wish I had just gotten in touch with him and said, hey,
• 55:31
  can I do this? You know? But anyway, they remote view and
• 55:37
  they find a document through remote viewing in London that can prove that Edward de
• 55:44
  Vere wrote Shakespeare, and I had I did spend two weeks in London,
• 55:47
  so I two weeks worth of what London was like anyway, And so I
• 55:53
  used my limited knowledge of London and a lot of research on the internet and
• 56:01
  wrote about them finding this document in London and then they take it to Oxford.
• 56:07
  And I won't tell you what happens after that. Yeah, you got
• 56:10
  you got it. You can't give it all the way because you want people
• 56:13
  to purchase your book. It's a great book, and you do your own
• 56:15
  remote viewing in there a little bit. Anti Yeah, it's pretty impressive.
• 56:21
  Those are those drawings that are in the book because I have the characters and
• 56:24
  I was trying to because a lot of people don't know what remote viewing is.
• 56:29
  Oh my audience does. Trust me. Everybody that watches my show's nose
• 56:32
  because I remote in my effort to explain more what it was. Plus it's
• 56:38
  just interested in anyone. You don't even have to that I did when I
• 56:45
  was remote viewing. After doing that course and the very first one, I've
• 56:51
  just got lines and they're going this way and that way, and it didn't
• 56:53
  make sense to me until I saw what I was drawing, and it was
• 56:58
  a golden gate bridge, right, and I had you know, you know,
• 57:00
  and so I took all my drawings, my early drawings before I decided
• 57:07
  I was going to quit while I was ahead, and I had to redrawing,
• 57:09
  but I stayed true to what they were and and they're in the book,
• 57:15
  you know, as and and then and then the picture of what they
• 57:19
  were trying to draw is is there as well, you know. And those
• 57:22
  that's for real, those are my real drawings on the on the remote doing
• 57:27
  thing there. So well, I was tickled to death when I met you
• 57:30
  and we started something. I don't know how we got on the topic of
• 57:32
  remote viewing, I have I don't know how we got on the topic of
• 57:37
  any of this. You know, we were just we were we were attending
• 57:40
  loud music playing everything. You know. Nothing is a coincidence, nothing,
• 57:47
  And I don't think so either. But I'm going to tell your listeners or
• 57:52
  viewers that her grandmother is so popular in this town that she filled it was
• 58:00
  her birthday party. And it was also open mic, which is which she
• 58:04
  always goes to. Because it was her birthday party. It was standing room
• 58:07
  only in that place, you know, and miss Nellie. Everybody knows miss
• 58:14
  Nellie. Yeah, everybody knows miss Nellie right well, I know she appreciates
• 58:17
  you and and I bet you anything she's gonna watch this. So so yeah,
• 58:22
  so this is this show is dedicated to grandmother Nellie. Today. Open
• 58:30
  That's another thing, all right. I do yo, I do the open
• 58:32
  mic, and I spend an hour or two in the coffee shop every day.
• 58:37
  So for an old guy, I stay pretty busy, you know.
• 58:39
  We well, tell me before we go today, tell me about all of
• 58:44
  your books. Just kind of give me a little rundown of the titles so
• 58:46
  people can find them okay, and I might be a little sorry I did
• 58:50
  this. I put them all one day. I took books that they'd been
• 58:53
  under my real name and combined them all and put them under the pen name
• 58:59
  rolling On Connor. And they're all available on Amazon. The first book is
• 59:04
  the one we talked about Vietnam. The second book is about driving the truck
• 59:07
  and Iraq. The third book is about I lived in a town. Well,
• 59:13
  there was a suspected murder where people thought that the woman and a child
• 59:20
  died in childbirth, and there was rumors that there was some hanky panky going
• 59:24
  on there, and the it was a well known preacher who could not get
• 59:30
  divorced, and he remarried like three months later, and everybody's like, wait
• 59:34
  a minute, you know, but there was never any charge. It's never
• 59:37
  anything formal. But I took that idea and made a novel out of that,
• 59:42
  and it's a really pretty good book. And then I wrote one.
• 59:47
  I say I watched too much YouTube. I watched something called The Men Who
• 59:52
  Killed Kennedy, and anybody my age would have really known all this stuff,
• 59:57
  but it put it all together and to the conspiracy. And I didn't want
• 1:00:01
  to make it about old people. So I took a millennial and had her
• 1:00:06
  find out that her grandmother was a stripper in Jack Ruby's club. Jack Ruby
• 1:00:10
  was the man that shot Oswald. You know, he owned a strip joint.
• 1:00:15
  Basically, yeah, and uh yeah, and I have a very old
• 1:00:22
  cia, you know, chasing them around. It's okay. And then the
• 1:00:29
  next book I wrote it not I would. I don't like this book.
• 1:00:34
  I mean, uh, it takes place and bowed in Georgia, down the
• 1:00:37
  road and at West Georgia's and it's called Assault on the Dream. It's all
• 1:00:45
  right, my my editor says likes it anyway. And then what did I
• 1:00:51
  do? Oh? I started? The last book I wrote is um the
• 1:00:55
  one we were just talking about Edward de Vere And there are all under under
• 1:01:02
  under the pen name Rolling O'Connor. I took that. You held that up
• 1:01:08
  that cover. All of my books have a cover similar to that and different
• 1:01:14
  colors, but um and and I, you know, I just tried to
• 1:01:22
  standardize everything and use a different name, because especially that first book has been
• 1:01:28
  published by publishers, it's been self published, It's had three or four different
• 1:01:31
  covers. And when you put my Bobo O'Kelly in all this stuff comes up,
• 1:01:37
  and I said, I want to get rid of that, so I
• 1:01:38
  became rolling O'Connor. And I have not in all honestly, and I think
• 1:01:45
  a lot of writers of this way. We would rather write than market,
• 1:01:49
  you know, right. I'm friends with some authors they say the same thing.
• 1:01:52
  Yes, And I did not market these properly, I you know,
• 1:01:58
  and right now I don't even have a website up. You can get them
• 1:02:02
  on Amazon and um and uh. But with this new book that's coming out.
• 1:02:07
  Oh, I gotta tell you about the new book have a title for
• 1:02:17
  it yet so um it has not been edited yet, but um, I
• 1:02:25
  call it my new Age hippie book. And it is about it's it's literally
• 1:02:30
  about hey, if we don't learn, it's funny for one thing. And
• 1:02:36
  I know it's funny because the people that have read it just in stitches and
• 1:02:42
  uh and it is basic premises. Well, I'm sure a lot of your
• 1:02:49
  listeners or hip hip to hip the fact that uh hip, a lot of
• 1:02:57
  people think that there's a great awakening company coming it. Yeah, well this
• 1:03:02
  is about that characters and you're a part of it right now, Yeah,
• 1:03:08
  part of it. I really would like to be two characters that get drafted
• 1:03:14
  by God himself to be uh light workers right in this great awakening. And
• 1:03:22
  you know, they get drafted in a previous life and then they have to
• 1:03:25
  come back and in this error and do all these things and all the powers
• 1:03:32
  that be I've got all the I've got Jesus and and and Buddha and Christna
• 1:03:38
  and all these people there in heaven. And they don't particularly They think God
• 1:03:45
  screwed up by choosing these people, so they this sounds so crazy. Uh.
• 1:03:54
  They end up going to Palladia and getting schooled and come back and Ali
• 1:04:00
  and of course the cabal farms up against them to shut them up, because
• 1:04:05
  you know, they make a lot of money off people not loving each other.
• 1:04:09
  And I won't go into how it ends, but that's the premise.
• 1:04:13
  And I realize how crazy that prob itself. Still a lot, you know,
• 1:04:17
  I think people in my audience will totally be in one. Seriously,
• 1:04:23
  seriously, I am trying to use humor to make people that maybe are not
• 1:04:29
  quite awake think, you know, yes, And my editor, I love
• 1:04:34
  that it says she just said, Bob. She hasn't finished editing it,
• 1:04:40
  but She said, Bob, you're writing in a whole different level now,
• 1:04:44
  and I think I am too. I think, yes, I mean you're
• 1:04:47
  you're just talking about things that a lot of people aren't talking about. I
• 1:04:49
  mean, you've come out publicly now talking about the rock apes and Vietnam.
• 1:04:54
  I love this. I love it in As a matter of fact, Alicia,

• 1:05:51
  and I'm not really I guess. I don't know if because I'm older or
• 1:05:57
  what, but I just kind of get discussing. It's just too much.
• 1:06:00
  I know, listen, if I didn't have a radio show with based on

  yeah, they have a good time employed. It's a fun book,
• 1:07:08
  it really is. It's a Ford forward thinking type of a book, in
• 1:07:12
  my opinion. And uh and I think that it would definitely help. I
• 1:07:15
  seriously believe we all wake up, we're going to destroy ourselves. And and
• 1:07:19
  uh and I don't think we are going to destroy our I think we're gonna
• 1:07:24
  wake up, you know. I think we're waking up. And I think
• 1:07:28
  we are too. You know, I really do um with the help of
• 1:07:31
  people like yourself and h and talking about like That's why I enjoy talking about
• 1:07:36
  my Bigfoot experiences and my et experiences because I think a lot of people have
• 1:07:42
  experienced stuff like this. Like you're saying a lot of soldiers in Vietnam experienced
• 1:07:45
  rockets. There's countless soldiers that can tell you about that. I'm sure that
• 1:07:51
  somebody out of documented before we all die of you know what I'm saying.
• 1:07:55
  Yeah, Well, we're doing that today, and I would love to have
