Speaker 1: Wait in truance, did I true this road?
0:14
Speaker 2: Up?
0:14
Speaker 3: A check?
0:14
Speaker 2: Both?
0:15
Speaker 1: Good us? Wait the audults, the.
0:18
Speaker 2: Room, thank you, Hey, everybody, Welcome to Conspiracy the Show.
0:36
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Adam Todd Brown joining me his co
0:39
Speaker 1: host this week kind of expands back, how's it going, man.
0:41
Speaker 3: We're working hard, man. We're podcasting for you, even though
0:44
Speaker 3: the world already ended in twenty twelve, as you all remember.
0:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it has been a wrap for almost fifteen
0:51
Speaker 1: years now, but here we are still persevering.
0:53
Speaker 3: I was just down at the Stager Brothers with a shotgun,
0:56
Speaker 3: trying to get the last of the dried lentils off
0:59
Speaker 3: the shelf.
0:59
Speaker 1: I've been thinking for the longest time and saying on
1:03
Speaker 1: the podcast that I have covered every episode of the
1:07
Speaker 1: esteemed television series Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura on this podcast,
1:12
Speaker 1: and I was delighted to find recently that I'm actually
1:15
Speaker 1: wrong about that. There are still a handful of episodes
1:19
Speaker 1: that I have not covered. I figure that out because
1:23
Speaker 1: we're doing a series called the Fifty States of Conspiracy,
1:25
Speaker 1: where I'm trying to do conspiracy theories related to each
1:29
Speaker 1: state with someone who is from that state. We just
1:32
Speaker 1: covered Kentucky because someone from Kentucky was available. I wanted
1:36
Speaker 1: to mention the Jesse Venture conspiracy theory episode called Apocalypse
1:42
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, and I thought we had covered that on
1:45
Speaker 1: this show, and we have not, because on that episode
1:49
Speaker 1: they talk about this series of caves that are under
1:52
Speaker 1: the state of Kentucky, and that seemed like a good
1:54
Speaker 1: tie into talking about Kentucky conspiracy theories. And that's when
1:58
Speaker 1: I realized we haven't even covered that episode. So we're
2:01
Speaker 1: going to cover it today along with another episode from
2:04
Speaker 1: season one that we have not covered. Connor, did you
2:06
Speaker 1: have any experience with this show before?
2:09
Speaker 3: I didn't, and I was delighted because it harkens back
2:13
Speaker 3: to something that is now completely dead, which is like
2:16
Speaker 3: television with the bed of music and the talking heads,
2:20
Speaker 3: with the out of context comments and the coming up
2:24
Speaker 3: and the thing that's coming up is never as interesting
2:27
Speaker 3: as it's made out to be like it is. I
2:29
Speaker 3: love television. It doesn't exist like this anymore. I mean,
2:31
Speaker 3: the best are going to get as a well edited
2:33
Speaker 3: YouTube video. So to see a guy like Jesse Ventro
2:35
Speaker 3: with a great voice, a great personality, just chopping it
2:39
Speaker 3: up about some of his favorite conspiracy theories. Well, you know,
2:42
Speaker 3: the best of the twenty tens editing department has the
2:45
Speaker 3: offer is backing them up. It was just a joy.
2:48
Speaker 3: It really brought me back, especially the twenty twelve stuff.
2:50
Speaker 3: My history teacher, mister Kenny told us all about that
2:53
Speaker 3: my calendar thing when I was in eighth grade and
2:56
Speaker 3: it was like two thousand and six or something. My
2:58
Speaker 3: mind was blown. I was like, fucking I believe that
3:02
Speaker 3: shit was going to happen for like a good five years.
3:05
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people did. I mean, the
3:07
Speaker 1: Mayan calendar does end.
3:08
Speaker 3: When it ends, it is a super accurate calendar that
3:11
Speaker 3: they made a long time ago. Like that is crazy,
3:14
Speaker 3: that is impressive.
3:15
Speaker 1: Who knows, But that's one of the episodes we're covering.
3:18
Speaker 1: We're also covering the global warming episode. Now, I will
3:21
Speaker 1: admit up front, I did realize almost right away the
3:25
Speaker 1: reason why we've never covered either of these episodes is
3:28
Speaker 1: because none of the shit in any of these episodes
3:30
Speaker 1: actually happens. Connor just mentioned twenty twelve. The entire premise
3:34
Speaker 1: of one of the episodes that we're going to cover,
3:37
Speaker 1: the episode called Apocalypse twenty twelve, is that a big
3:40
Speaker 1: solar flare event is going to essentially not destroy the world,
3:45
Speaker 1: but destroy it for a lot of us.
3:46
Speaker 3: Well, you know, it is something that could happen like
3:48
Speaker 3: an EMP type effect where it could try electronic like
3:51
Speaker 3: it could take out the power grid of you know,
3:54
Speaker 3: North America. Certainly if it did happen, I think they're
3:57
Speaker 3: really there was no connective tissue whatsoever between solar flares,
4:02
Speaker 3: dangers and actually in the world ending in twenty twelve.
4:05
Speaker 3: There was no That was just like something they wanted
4:07
Speaker 3: to happen. That was just their like narrative they put
4:10
Speaker 3: together for the show.
4:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, to explain things that have been built years and
4:16
Speaker 1: years and years prior. Also, which is an interesting take,
4:20
Speaker 1: which would kind of imply that people had known the
4:22
Speaker 1: world was going to end in twenty twelve for a
4:24
Speaker 1: long long time, because then you really are just basing
4:27
Speaker 1: it on the Mayan calendar.
4:28
Speaker 3: But that's what I love about it. It's TV. It's like,
4:31
Speaker 3: let's throw apocalyptic bunkers the Mayan calendar and what the
4:35
Speaker 3: hell solar flares. We'll put that in the pot, we'll
4:37
Speaker 3: stir it up and we'll make some good TV, you know.
4:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, And before we even get there, we get the
4:42
Speaker 1: Global Warming episode. Which that's the thing about jesse Ventura.
4:47
Speaker 1: Sometimes these episodes skew into me and the former governor
4:52
Speaker 1: disagree in a little bit.
4:54
Speaker 3: It's a little kind of a slight that you called
4:56
Speaker 3: in the former governor. Most people just call them the
4:58
Speaker 3: governor Adam Oh.
4:59
Speaker 1: Sure, sure, sure, Well, I mean he's not governor of
5:02
Speaker 1: Minnesota now, not yet. But I did see a video
5:06
Speaker 1: recently where he's like, maybe I'll run again.
5:11
Speaker 3: That's pretty good, man.
5:13
Speaker 1: I would love it. I would love jesse Ventura re
5:16
Speaker 1: entering the chat when it's like Jerry.
5:18
Speaker 3: Brown running again in California, you know, coming back.
5:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Because the video I just saw it was
5:24
Speaker 1: jesse Ventura being like, this is a third world country
5:28
Speaker 1: now because of Ice. ICE is a paramilitary unit that
5:32
Speaker 1: answers to the president. That's what they do in third
5:34
Speaker 1: world countries. We're a third world country now. So at
5:37
Speaker 1: least he's on the right side of history when it
5:38
Speaker 1: comes to shit like that.
5:39
Speaker 3: Good point. It's a good point.
5:41
Speaker 1: And so I am going to re release some of
5:45
Speaker 1: the jesse Ventura episodes we've done because when I keep
5:49
Speaker 1: saying we've covered all of it, what I actually mean
5:51
Speaker 1: is we covered all of the highly controversial second season
5:56
Speaker 1: of Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura, which to this day
6:00
Speaker 1: is unavailable on streaming. You can't buy the episodes. When
6:05
Speaker 1: they go up on YouTube, they end up getting taken down.
6:08
Speaker 1: They run Vimeo for a while. You found them on
6:11
Speaker 1: what service?
6:12
Speaker 3: I don't even want to share four five six movies
6:14
Speaker 3: dot NL.
6:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, we probably shouldn't say, because when we covered it,
6:20
Speaker 1: I linked to each episode and I went back and
6:22
Speaker 1: checked and all those links are dead.
6:24
Speaker 3: Now, well it's taken take down the Mighty pirate ship,
6:27
Speaker 3: that is four five six movies dot NL. Then, yeah,
6:30
Speaker 3: there's nothing we could do to keep the truth out there.
6:32
Speaker 1: But I did cover that whole season with Olivia Hydar,
6:37
Speaker 1: comedian and retired podcaster, and most of those were behind
6:42
Speaker 1: the paywalls. So to celebrate our return to the Jesse
6:46
Speaker 1: Ventura series, I'm gonna put those out publicly along with
6:50
Speaker 1: these episodes I'm doing with Connor. So you got a
6:53
Speaker 1: lot of shit to listen to do it And as
6:55
Speaker 1: for us, we should talk about S one e three
6:59
Speaker 1: global Warming. This is the first of the lost episodes
7:02
Speaker 1: that I somehow forgot to cover again, probably because none
7:06
Speaker 1: of this shit happened.
7:07
Speaker 3: I mean, I think the climate changed. It didn't. It
7:09
Speaker 3: didn't exactly go how al Gore said it was going
7:12
Speaker 3: to go. But you know, yeah, ice caps are melting,
7:14
Speaker 3: the hurricanes are becoming more frequent.
7:16
Speaker 1: I more mean the stuff they're worried about in this episode.
7:20
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the One World you gotta bring the They
7:24
Speaker 3: gotta bring the One World government into it. You know,
7:26
Speaker 3: melting ice caps that's not sexy enough. You need globalists, globalists.
7:30
Speaker 1: This is one of those episodes where I feel like,
7:34
Speaker 1: if it was ninety minutes long, we'd be talking about
7:38
Speaker 1: the Jews by the Yeah, probably because they don't ever
7:43
Speaker 1: really make the connection between oh, well, this rich guy's
7:47
Speaker 1: out here selling carbon credits, and it's like and and
7:50
Speaker 1: they're like, and he's going to enslave the world. Okay,
7:54
Speaker 1: explain what do you mean? And they don't really. They
7:58
Speaker 1: just kind of sell the idea that, well, this guy's
8:01
Speaker 1: getting rich off global warming.
8:03
Speaker 3: It's like, what a fantastic racket carbon credit. It's like, oh, yeah,
8:07
Speaker 3: I planted a tree. Don't worry about it. It's down
8:09
Speaker 3: in South America. I totally planted so many trees. You're good.
8:13
Speaker 3: You can your f one fifty with the fucking straight
8:17
Speaker 3: pipes is free to roam the streets guilt free.
8:21
Speaker 1: And they describe carbon credits in this episode as a
8:24
Speaker 1: license to pollute, and that actually seems kind of accurate.
8:27
Speaker 3: That's pretty much exactly what they are.
8:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And so because the way it works, if
8:32
Speaker 1: you are a big company that wants to do a
8:36
Speaker 1: little pollutant, you can go to another company that has
8:41
Speaker 1: earned credits for doing environmentally good things and buy one
8:46
Speaker 1: of those credits from them, which then allows you to
8:50
Speaker 1: pollute a little more.
8:51
Speaker 3: Every time you buy one, they go and wipe oil
8:53
Speaker 3: off of a baby penguin.
8:55
Speaker 1: You know, it is a wild system. I didn't really
8:58
Speaker 1: look into is this a thing it's still going right now?
9:02
Speaker 3: I don't know. I think that was kind I think
9:04
Speaker 3: it kind of fizzled out. I haven't heard about it.
9:06
Speaker 3: Was It really took me back to hear about them
9:08
Speaker 3: because I had It's like, I think my mom bought
9:10
Speaker 3: something like two thousand and seven or something like. I
9:13
Speaker 3: have not heard anyone talk about carbon credits since, like
9:17
Speaker 3: the late Bush administration.
9:18
Speaker 1: I will say there is, as of twenty twenty five,
9:21
Speaker 1: a study on nature dot com carbon credits are failing
9:25
Speaker 1: to help with climate change.
9:27
Speaker 3: Well, that's nature dot com. I mean, that's the.
9:28
Speaker 1: Fucking fuck do they know about nature?
9:31
Speaker 3: Now? I was about to say, that's the central hub
9:33
Speaker 3: of nature knowledge in commerce.
9:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean seems like they would probably know. Yeah,
9:39
Speaker 1: there's a National Institute of Health. Carbon credits are failing
9:42
Speaker 1: to help with climate change. That's probably where it came
9:45
Speaker 1: from first, which that's not surprising. It doesn't really stand
9:50
Speaker 1: to reason that letting someone pollute just because someone else
9:55
Speaker 1: is polluting less. I don't know how that would work
9:58
Speaker 1: to me.
9:58
Speaker 3: It was always framed in terms of like planting trees, like, Okay,
10:01
Speaker 3: you're gonna put sea two in the atmosphere, We're gonna
10:03
Speaker 3: plant trees, which takes you two out of the atmosphere,
10:05
Speaker 3: which that sort of makes sense. But I just there's
10:09
Speaker 3: I know too much about capitalism. There's no fucking way
10:11
Speaker 3: they're doing that. They're absolutely telling you that they're doing that,
10:16
Speaker 3: and they're taking all the tree planting money and they're
10:18
Speaker 3: spending it on cocon hookers. That's how it's gone since
10:20
Speaker 3: the beginning of time.
10:21
Speaker 1: And I think this episode kind of undermines itself or
10:25
Speaker 1: doesn't do itself any favors, because that part alone is
10:30
Speaker 1: interesting enough. Just talking about the carbon credits in the
10:34
Speaker 1: way people are profiting off of it and whether it's
10:37
Speaker 1: actually gonna help or not, that feels like enough of
10:40
Speaker 1: a scam without it needing to be. Oh. Also, they're
10:43
Speaker 1: going to put a one world government in place and
10:46
Speaker 1: enslave us all. They don't ever get to explain in that.
10:49
Speaker 1: But the carbon credits shit is interesting enough. They should
10:52
Speaker 1: have just stopped there. But that's not what I'm show.
10:54
Speaker 1: This is.
10:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, they want to They got a little dramatic with it.
10:57
Speaker 3: You're right, Well, it's similar to the twenty twelve thing.
11:00
Speaker 3: They're like, there's gonna be a solar flare. According to
11:03
Speaker 3: superstitious nonsense. This guy's important and he has a lot
11:06
Speaker 3: of money. He must be trying to rule the world.
11:08
Speaker 3: Like he might just be trying to get more money.
11:09
Speaker 3: He might be trying to get more coke, more hookers.
11:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing. A lot of this boils down to, oh, well,
11:14
Speaker 1: they're just doing this for money. It's like, well, that's
11:16
Speaker 1: why we fight our wars is for money. That's usually
11:20
Speaker 1: just people wanting to get rich.
11:22
Speaker 3: That's why we poison the environment in the first place. Exactly,
11:25
Speaker 3: it's a big business. And if me and Adam could
11:28
Speaker 3: figure out a way to dumb nuclear waste it underneath preschools.
11:31
Speaker 3: You think we'd be sitting here talking to you about
11:33
Speaker 3: Jesse Ventura really absolutely not. We'd be a boa in
11:37
Speaker 3: West Hollywood to join a couple of states.
11:40
Speaker 1: And weirdly, he means Bank of America.
11:43
Speaker 3: Eat Fucky, eating him in front of the poor people
11:46
Speaker 3: getting over Jeffees goddamn.
11:48
Speaker 1: Right. So, this episode, the Global Warming Conspiracy it's called,
11:53
Speaker 1: starts with Jesse venture drive into a warehouse to talk
11:58
Speaker 1: to some dude who promises to blow the lips off
12:00
Speaker 1: the global warming conspiracy.
12:02
Speaker 3: Right here is why I love television because there's absolutely
12:05
Speaker 3: no reason for this conversation to take place in the
12:07
Speaker 3: warehouse except for that it's excellent set dressing.
12:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a hallmark of this show. There's so
12:13
Speaker 1: many times where they're like, we're meeting in a secluded location.
12:17
Speaker 1: It's like you're bringing cameras and putting it on TV. Yeah,
12:22
Speaker 1: what are you hiding from?
12:24
Speaker 3: You think like some guy the birdmank Starbucks is like
12:27
Speaker 3: really itching to you know, take you down.
12:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again you're putting the conversation on TV. It
12:33
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if people over here you saying it. It's
12:36
Speaker 1: just going on the air anyway. But they do that
12:39
Speaker 1: every time. They're like, we had to meet in this
12:41
Speaker 1: remote section of Alaska, and it's like you just wanted
12:44
Speaker 1: to go to Alaska.
12:45
Speaker 3: I love it when they manufacture tension completely transparently. It's
12:49
Speaker 3: it works on me every day. So then until like
12:51
Speaker 3: figure about it later, I'm like, that was fucking stupid.
12:54
Speaker 1: Also, this bombed out factory that they're meeting at am
12:57
Speaker 1: I correct, it's in San Francisco. It sounds like he's
13:00
Speaker 1: in San Francisco.
13:01
Speaker 3: I don't recall the city, which.
13:03
Speaker 1: At that point just go to like a ross.
13:08
Speaker 3: Yeah that's a bombedo factory.
13:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, those place is enough chaos, especially in San Francisco.
13:13
Speaker 1: No one's going to notice you. So this guy starts off.
13:17
Speaker 1: This guy he meets with starts off by saying global
13:19
Speaker 1: warmings reel. So that makes me feel a little bit better.
13:23
Speaker 1: Noel Shepherd is his name, investigative journalist.
13:26
Speaker 3: His name Sheppard because anyone who follows him as a Sheep, they.
13:31
Speaker 1: Like Conner mentioned, are speaking in a location that they're
13:35
Speaker 1: in for absolutely no reason. There's nothing secluded about it.
13:38
Speaker 1: They're filming, it's just drama. He says, Yes, stopping pollution
13:42
Speaker 1: is a good thing, but that isn't what the people
13:45
Speaker 1: he wants Jesse to look into are about. They just
13:48
Speaker 1: want to control the population, and that all that talk
13:51
Speaker 1: is a huge scam, a polluter's ponzi scheme is what
13:55
Speaker 1: they call carbon credits. And maybe, but it still doesn't
13:59
Speaker 1: explain how they're going to enslave the world.
14:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would think that if any of this were true,
14:04
Speaker 3: al Gore would be much more powerful than he is.
14:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that also played into why we
14:10
Speaker 1: never covered this episode, because it does position al Gore
14:15
Speaker 1: as the guy who's going to be the kingpin of
14:17
Speaker 1: all this. He's going to be like the face of
14:19
Speaker 1: this one world government that is going to take us
14:22
Speaker 1: all over by way of stoking fears about climate change.
14:25
Speaker 1: It's like, I haven't seen al Gore in ten years.
14:28
Speaker 3: I was about to say, I think if al Gore
14:30
Speaker 3: called up MS NOW and he's like, hey, I got
14:32
Speaker 3: a big scoop can you give me on the air,
14:34
Speaker 3: they'd be like, oh man, we're just we're books solid.
14:38
Speaker 3: I Oh wow, I mean, this is it's a tough month, man.
14:42
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Maybe CNN, you know, maybe they want to
14:45
Speaker 3: hear about it. He's also Ran. Literally, he's a literal
14:48
Speaker 3: definition of it. Also, he's the biggest also Ran of
14:51
Speaker 3: all time.
14:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I mean even if this was his plan
14:56
Speaker 1: back then, seems like it didn't work because, like you said,
14:59
Speaker 1: al Gore is just not a factor in the world
15:02
Speaker 1: right now.
15:03
Speaker 3: I mean, hey, I bought the Inconvenient Truth DVD when
15:07
Speaker 3: I was twelve, you know, I mean like he sold
15:10
Speaker 3: some sort of DVDs in eco friendly paper packaging.
15:13
Speaker 1: I saw it in theaters. Wow, weird. Must have been electric.
15:18
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you could cut the tension with a knife.
15:21
Speaker 1: It was electric in there for sure. So roundtable time,
15:25
Speaker 1: there's one of these. Every episode, Jesse will go meet
15:28
Speaker 1: with someone who will tell him the premise of the episode.
15:31
Speaker 1: Then he goes back has a round table with his
15:33
Speaker 1: team of reporters and investigators, including June Sarpong.
15:39
Speaker 3: Cool name, really cool name, cool name.
15:42
Speaker 1: She's cute as a button. She does a lot of
15:45
Speaker 1: the legwork on these shows. She goes out. She goes
15:48
Speaker 1: to the really remote locations to interview people.
15:51
Speaker 3: The warehouses in Sacramento.
15:54
Speaker 1: Well, case in point. She's going to a well small
15:58
Speaker 1: town on the outskirts of civilization to meet with this
16:03
Speaker 1: person she's about to talk to. Am I crazy or
16:05
Speaker 1: just being a town suggests that you are still in civilization?
16:09
Speaker 3: Yeah? This is again more like manufactured. You know, you
16:13
Speaker 3: could be like one of the only I don't know.
16:14
Speaker 3: It's it's just fake, fake drama.
16:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, this person's probably in North Dakota.
16:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, really, like they're not an Antarctica. You know.
16:24
Speaker 1: She's meeting with a climate scientist who doesn't want to
16:27
Speaker 1: be named. They think global warming is real, but that
16:30
Speaker 1: it's the Sun that causes it, and that they're blaming
16:33
Speaker 1: CO two so they can use it to control us.
16:37
Speaker 1: And that is aside from the control us thing, because
16:42
Speaker 1: I need more details there. That's the kind of conspiracy
16:44
Speaker 1: I could get behind that. Oh well, actually global warming
16:48
Speaker 1: is real, but it's the sun and we can't do
16:49
Speaker 1: shit about it. But there are these people who are
16:52
Speaker 1: trying to profit off it by blaming something else. I
16:55
Speaker 1: could get behind that all day.
16:56
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, just turning a natural phenomenon into suburban white guilt.
17:00
Speaker 3: You know they've been doing that forever.
17:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, But the idea that global warming is not happening.
17:04
Speaker 1: Fucking something's happening.
17:05
Speaker 3: Because people when inconvenient truth came out, people would just
17:09
Speaker 3: flagulate themselves with loathing because they had like thrown away
17:14
Speaker 3: an aluminum can once in nineteen ninety nine, you know,
17:18
Speaker 3: like people fucking hate I was wonder. I was like,
17:20
Speaker 3: oh God, I'm destroying the earth because I ate a hamburger.
17:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a powerful documentary. Alex Piper is one
17:29
Speaker 1: of the other investigators on this team. He's going to
17:32
Speaker 1: meet an MIT climate scientist, doctor Richard Lindon, who talks
17:36
Speaker 1: about how scientists who speak out about global warming in
17:40
Speaker 1: a way that doesn't conform to the rest of science
17:43
Speaker 1: they get bullied, which I don't doubt that that's true.
17:47
Speaker 1: I know there is. I mean, you see that kind
17:49
Speaker 1: of thing in every field. There's a bunch of engineers
17:52
Speaker 1: who will insist that what happened on nine to eleven
17:57
Speaker 1: was had to be like a controlled explosion because of
18:00
Speaker 1: all the things they know about engineering.
18:02
Speaker 3: Can melt steel beams.
18:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's an actual database of engineers who have signed
18:08
Speaker 1: a fucking thing saying no, we agree with that theory.
18:11
Speaker 1: But then there's a whole bunch of other engineers who say, no,
18:15
Speaker 1: it's it's this thing and I don't know.
18:18
Speaker 3: And there's and there's and there's zero engineers that have
18:20
Speaker 3: any idea about building seven, but continue, Yeah.
18:23
Speaker 1: So I don't know. All that tells me is that
18:26
Speaker 1: there are people who disagree.
18:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I believe that there's like actual, legitimate,
18:31
Speaker 3: contentious debate about the veracity of these things. And that
18:34
Speaker 3: makes sense to me that you know, that is a
18:36
Speaker 3: very it's a very large question. Why is the entire
18:40
Speaker 3: earth getting warmer? Like? That's there's a lot of fucking
18:43
Speaker 3: variables there.
18:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the idea that scientists who speak out and say, oh,
18:49
Speaker 1: maybe global warming is caused by something else. What do
18:52
Speaker 1: you mean by bully? Are they bullied or are people
18:55
Speaker 1: questioning them?
18:56
Speaker 3: Are you a cry bully where you like to push
18:58
Speaker 3: people around and as soon and so pushes you around,
19:00
Speaker 3: it's the most offensive, awful thing that's ever happened.
19:03
Speaker 1: Yeah. Is it actual bullying or is it just oh well,
19:08
Speaker 1: if you say it's a different thing, someone's gonna come
19:10
Speaker 1: out and tell you you're wrong.
19:12
Speaker 3: There's definitely a few contrarians in there that just want
19:14
Speaker 3: to be the fucking cool guy who's will Actually it's
19:18
Speaker 3: solar flares, So pretty dumb of you not to know that.
19:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, it still doesn't sell me on the idea that
19:26
Speaker 1: this is a one world government plot. Anytime I hear
19:28
Speaker 1: one world government it always feels like it's building up
19:31
Speaker 1: to the Jews.
19:33
Speaker 3: Well, and people still can't even say the banking families.
19:36
Speaker 3: I'll give you the banking families, Like, yeah, they have
19:39
Speaker 3: a lot of money. It's weird, but who knows what
19:42
Speaker 3: you're doing with it. It's a good question.
19:43
Speaker 1: That's a perfectly reasonable thing to talk about, because families
19:47
Speaker 1: in general shouldn't have that much money. You should have
19:50
Speaker 1: to give some of that shit up.
19:51
Speaker 3: There's family real estate businesses that are worth like a
19:53
Speaker 3: fucking hundreds of millions of dollars that are like obscene,
19:56
Speaker 3: you know.
19:57
Speaker 1: So al Gore comes up a lot as one of
20:00
Speaker 1: the people getting rich off global warming, which, yeah, that
20:04
Speaker 1: was al Gore's whole gig after he lost in two thousand.
20:08
Speaker 1: He's not doing it for free, so that's not that's surprising.
20:11
Speaker 1: They talk about some of the global warming products he's
20:15
Speaker 1: an investor in. They bring up the Horror Corporation, the
20:18
Speaker 1: CEO of that firm agrees to talk to June Sarpong,
20:22
Speaker 1: but what he doesn't realize is that Jesse Ventura is
20:26
Speaker 1: waiting in the wings. He hears this guy say his
20:29
Speaker 1: company isn't profiting off of global warming and then says
20:33
Speaker 1: there's no direct relationship with al Gore, and Jesse kicks
20:37
Speaker 1: in the fucking door. He has no relation to al Gore?
20:42
Speaker 1: Why don't you tell that to me? And the guy does.
20:45
Speaker 1: The guy does. He's like, yeah, there's no like he
20:47
Speaker 1: might invest, but so what that's this show? It's usually
20:51
Speaker 1: just Jesse Ventura walking in the room and being like,
20:54
Speaker 1: tell me what I want to know. No, I'm not
20:58
Speaker 1: gonna and he's just like all right, then leaves.
21:01
Speaker 3: Well you got a Jesse venture. I mean he's just
21:03
Speaker 3: at the body venture. He's how tall is he six
21:05
Speaker 3: five or something? He's you got to respect this guy
21:07
Speaker 3: standing on business. I would be like, yeah, actually I would, Yes, sir, it.
21:11
Speaker 1: Was yeah, I mean he is. He's an intimidating figure
21:15
Speaker 1: but also kind of funny, Like I wouldn't not laugh
21:19
Speaker 1: if I was on the receiving end of a Jesse
21:22
Speaker 1: Ventura like surprise interview.
21:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I would get the nervous pables. You're right. Yeah,
21:28
Speaker 3: the voice, the voice alone is fucking fantastic.
21:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, because what's he gonna do beat your ass? Probably not,
21:35
Speaker 1: and if he does, he'd just sue him for money.
21:37
Speaker 1: He's not the government anymore. He's just a dude.
21:40
Speaker 3: So that's what I'll saying. You're not the government anymore, Jesse.
21:44
Speaker 1: He sure thinks having been a governor just gets him
21:48
Speaker 1: carte blanche access to anything in the United States.
21:51
Speaker 3: It should not for every governor, just for him specifically.
21:55
Speaker 1: But Jesse hits him with a bunch of tough questions,
21:58
Speaker 1: gets a bunch of no comment answers in return. But
22:01
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, because Jesse thinks, if this is a conspiracy,
22:05
Speaker 1: there has to be someone scarier than al Gore involved,
22:08
Speaker 1: and not a scary guy. Yeah, that I agree with,
22:11
Speaker 1: kind of a.
22:12
Speaker 3: Lumpy chif from Tennessee. He's not scaring nobody. I mean,
22:15
Speaker 3: I guess you did scare us all.
22:16
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, but not because of him.
22:19
Speaker 3: Not because of his his force of personality.
22:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, if al Gore tried to take over the world,
22:24
Speaker 1: I feel like we would just beat the shit out
22:27
Speaker 1: of him, like, yeah, pull him aside. Pommel him like.
22:31
Speaker 3: Tenth graders would though, Like it wouldn't even be the
22:34
Speaker 3: tough guys. It'd be like when Kat Williams gets knocked out.
22:37
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, like in Step Brothers when Will Ferrell has
22:40
Speaker 1: to lick the white dog poop. We do that to
22:42
Speaker 1: Al Gore. So Alex Piper, he talks to some British
22:45
Speaker 1: bloke named Sir Lord Alex Cockleston upon Shire the Fourth
22:49
Speaker 1: or some shit, and he tells Alex that your real
22:52
Speaker 1: demon is guy named Maurice Strong.
22:54
Speaker 3: One of my favorite porn stars.
22:56
Speaker 1: That is a solid name because you could also shorten
22:59
Speaker 1: it to most.
23:01
Speaker 3: Yeah that's good. Yeah, yeah, those a hell of a weapon.
23:05
Speaker 1: Yeah. He is the world's leading environmentalist, has worked with
23:08
Speaker 1: the UN on the issue for a long time, very
23:11
Speaker 1: very very long time, and this is who the show
23:14
Speaker 1: blames as being the head of the conspiracy. They called
23:18
Speaker 1: the godfather of the environmental movement. Again once the when
23:22
Speaker 1: the UN comes up, I'm also like, go on, tell
23:25
Speaker 1: me about the Jews. Let's hear it.
23:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on out with it.
23:29
Speaker 1: It feels like that's where this is probably headed, but
23:32
Speaker 1: it doesn't get there on this episode at least, so
23:36
Speaker 1: Jesse feels like this Maurice Strong is the person they
23:41
Speaker 1: need to talk to, so they talked to Ben Santer instead,
23:45
Speaker 1: who is apparently Maurice Strong's main scientist. He's accused by
23:50
Speaker 1: that British guy of changing some stuff in a report
23:54
Speaker 1: about global warming to make it seem scarier than it was.
23:58
Speaker 1: And they interview the guy and he's like, I edited
24:01
Speaker 1: a document. That is what you do with documents. Sometimes
24:04
Speaker 1: you make revisions, times you edit, sometimes take things out.
24:07
Speaker 1: That's what I did. Does not mean there is take
24:09
Speaker 1: global conspiracy afoot.
24:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, we conspiracy theorists do be jumping to shadows sometimes.
24:14
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Well, like with the when we talked
24:17
Speaker 1: about conspiracies related to the state of Minnesota. The governor
24:22
Speaker 1: of Minnesota at one point appointed the guy who shot
24:27
Speaker 1: those two Democratic lawmakers in their homes. He at one
24:30
Speaker 1: point in the past had appointed that guy to some
24:33
Speaker 1: governor's board, which is a thing a governor does for
24:37
Speaker 1: hundreds of people, doesn't usually meet them. It's like a
24:39
Speaker 1: formality kind of thing, and that is what a lot
24:43
Speaker 1: of right wingers used to be. Like the governor of
24:45
Speaker 1: Minnesota set up a hit. It's like because he had
24:47
Speaker 1: one interaction with this dude, fucking ten years ago. You
24:51
Speaker 1: think they became enough friends that he paid someone he
24:54
Speaker 1: knew to kill two random lawmakers. It's that kind of shit.
24:58
Speaker 1: It's just like there's nothing there.
25:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can excuse will extrapolate any connection into whatever
25:04
Speaker 3: we want it to be. Really, you know, not us.
25:06
Speaker 3: We're the paragon of logic and virtue. That's why you
25:09
Speaker 3: come to us for this fine information.
25:11
Speaker 1: The world's only objective conspiracy theory podcast.
25:14
Speaker 3: True for ten years now.
25:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, we couldn't call it that if it wasn't true.
25:19
Speaker 1: There are laws when it comes to labeling and things
25:22
Speaker 1: like that. The FDA would shut us down. Is there
25:25
Speaker 1: a bunch of secret fascists?
25:27
Speaker 3: And because this podcast is so nourishing for your mind
25:30
Speaker 3: it is technically a food.
25:31
Speaker 1: Yes, I probably are a bunch of fascists now right,
25:34
Speaker 1: it would stand.
25:35
Speaker 3: To reason probably, Yeah, on some level. I'm not sure
25:39
Speaker 3: what that like entails, but I bet they're not like
25:42
Speaker 3: super into like science like they used to be.
25:45
Speaker 1: Yeah.
25:45
Speaker 3: By the way, you know, you know founder the FDA,
25:47
Speaker 3: who's that Richard Nixon, our last great liberal.
25:50
Speaker 1: President, fucking Nixon man, and.
25:53
Speaker 3: The EPA too, So you know, when you breathe when
25:55
Speaker 3: you breed that clean air and eat that clean food
25:57
Speaker 3: and you think it tritty dick.
25:59
Speaker 1: I got to get to the Nick Library. That's that's
26:01
Speaker 1: not far from where I live right here.
26:04
Speaker 3: I'll go with you, dude, We'll make a day of it.
26:06
Speaker 3: Bring my dad, let's do it.
26:07
Speaker 1: I love a fucking presidential library.
26:09
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just saw a Reagan. I just saw the
26:11
Speaker 3: Dead Sea Scrolls. And when I got in there, I
26:13
Speaker 3: was like, oh, this is all sponsored by that Israeli
26:16
Speaker 3: organization that destroys Palestinian archaeological history. Like I just gave
26:22
Speaker 3: money to the fucking devil. Shit.
26:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't make it for the Dead Sea Scrolls,
26:26
Speaker 1: and now it's like in America's two hundred and fiftieth exhibit.
26:30
Speaker 3: So it'll just make me sick. Just a bunch of
26:32
Speaker 3: jingoistic bullshit.
26:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm just gonna have to go to see
26:36
Speaker 1: me Valley strictly for the hummus. So back to Jesse
26:41
Speaker 1: Ventura spoiler, no one ever admits anything on this show
26:45
Speaker 1: that is you're just I don't remember who the comedian was,
26:48
Speaker 1: but he had a bit about how even if ghost surreal,
26:52
Speaker 1: you're not going to find out. On season three episode
26:55
Speaker 1: eight of ghost Hunters or some shit.
26:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the bit was like, if they found
27:00
Speaker 3: you would have heard about it in the news, that
27:02
Speaker 3: would have been a story. They wouldn't have saved it
27:05
Speaker 3: for fucking AMC's eleven PM Ghost Hunting Block.
27:09
Speaker 1: And same thing here, You're never going to get any
27:12
Speaker 1: huge revelations, although there's got to be something to that
27:17
Speaker 1: thing where a bunch of these episodes are still not
27:20
Speaker 1: available anymore. And there's one in particular that we did
27:23
Speaker 1: cover about FEMA camps that was available for like a
27:27
Speaker 1: week and then they never ran it again. It's never
27:30
Speaker 1: been available on streaming. They literally made them take it down.
27:34
Speaker 1: And it was the episode about how FEMA camps are
27:38
Speaker 1: eventually going to be camps for dissidents and immigrants.
27:43
Speaker 3: We got them, we got them. Now it happens. You
27:46
Speaker 3: called it, Jesse.
27:47
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's even one of the things that bothers me
27:49
Speaker 1: about people on the left and Democrats now being so
27:55
Speaker 1: huffy about conspiracy theories and how oh that's right, wearer shit,
27:59
Speaker 1: we don't fuck with conspiracy theories. Well, the fucker every
28:02
Speaker 1: Democrat thought George Bush was going to put us in
28:04
Speaker 1: a FEMA camp in the two thousands. That was such
28:08
Speaker 1: a widespread belief, so don't give me this shit. We're
28:12
Speaker 1: susceptible to it.
28:13
Speaker 3: Well, and like you're saying you don't believe in conspiracy
28:16
Speaker 3: theories means like you don't think anyone you disagree with
28:19
Speaker 3: ever did anything sneaky and wrong ever, and you wouldn't
28:22
Speaker 3: want to know about it if they did. What the
28:24
Speaker 3: fuck are you talking about? This goes back to my
28:26
Speaker 3: thing about branding, Like we should just call these weird
28:28
Speaker 3: true facts about history, because then people would take it
28:31
Speaker 3: more seriously.
28:32
Speaker 1: I believe there is evidence that the term conspiracy theory
28:36
Speaker 1: in and of itself was kind of at least the
28:38
Speaker 1: idea of using that to describe anything that is anti
28:43
Speaker 1: to what the government says.
28:44
Speaker 3: I think it's sort of a jfka. I think that's
28:47
Speaker 3: exactly when I sent when and when and why it
28:49
Speaker 3: got going.
28:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an intelligence community idea and it fucking worked. Great.
28:55
Speaker 3: Those guys got it. There's still high five to each
28:57
Speaker 3: other for that, psyopdo Like, remember when we convince them
29:00
Speaker 3: thing that we did was a conspiracy theory? Oh man,
29:03
Speaker 3: we're too good sometime.
29:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, that shit worked, and even worse now, I feel
29:07
Speaker 1: like a lot of people are hard pressed to even
29:09
Speaker 1: say conspiracy theory without adding right wing at the beginning
29:14
Speaker 1: of it. Like, I've seen a bunch of outlets that
29:16
Speaker 1: call the Epstein Files a right wing conspiracy theory.
29:20
Speaker 3: It's friends with mostly Democrats.
29:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's like everyone wants to know about the
29:24
Speaker 1: Epstein Files, not just right wingers. That's insane to call
29:28
Speaker 1: that a right wing conspiracy theory. But that's where we are,
29:31
Speaker 1: where everything that is a conspiracy theory now. Also, you're
29:35
Speaker 1: sort of a right winger. It's like, I'm a right
29:37
Speaker 1: winger if I don't trust the government, No one should
29:40
Speaker 1: trust the government. Have you seen this government? I haven't
29:42
Speaker 1: done shit. We should trust them for in a long time.
29:45
Speaker 3: Oh god, yeah, It's like, when's the last time the
29:47
Speaker 3: government did something awesome? I guess when I got healthcare
29:51
Speaker 3: until I was twenty six. That was cool.
29:52
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And even that kind of a cop out
29:55
Speaker 1: could have been.
29:56
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean the healthcare plan is Mitt Romney's
29:59
Speaker 3: healthcare plan. That's so much of a fucking pussy. Barack
30:02
Speaker 3: Obama is insisting on compromising with people that hate him
30:05
Speaker 3: and will never agree with him about anything and giving
30:07
Speaker 3: us this dog shit fucking marketplace. And the one cool
30:11
Speaker 3: thing being that you know, you could be on your
30:13
Speaker 3: parents' health care until I was sixteen years ago. Nothing
30:16
Speaker 3: good in sixteen years.
30:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, and even that healthcare plan it got passed because
30:23
Speaker 1: Obama agreed not to close a loophole with prescription drugs
30:28
Speaker 1: that keep prescription drugs.
30:30
Speaker 3: Oh god, I forgot about it.
30:32
Speaker 1: And not only that, but that loophole that he left
30:35
Speaker 1: open is what allowed Martin Screlly to do all the
30:38
Speaker 1: shit he did. So when we were demonizing Martin Screlly, rightfully,
30:42
Speaker 1: people should have also been like, yeah, but there's a
30:45
Speaker 1: reason he's able to do that.
30:46
Speaker 3: And it's Barack Obama is the reason we're never getting
30:48
Speaker 3: the Lost Boothang album. Thanks Obama.
30:51
Speaker 1: Yeah. I need to hear those Celine Dion features.
30:54
Speaker 3: I know, bro, I've been thinking about those for fucking
30:57
Speaker 3: ten years.
30:59
Speaker 1: What is she wrong? What if she's not hanging?
31:02
Speaker 3: What if she's just fitting?
31:03
Speaker 1: Just got bars for days? God damn it. We need
31:07
Speaker 1: to hear that. We will someday, right, there's some snippets
31:10
Speaker 1: have come out. Yeah, it's gotta happen. I mean, couldn't
31:12
Speaker 1: you if you were rich enough couldn't you just be
31:14
Speaker 1: like Sue me Rizza letting this shit out.
31:18
Speaker 3: Something I've always wanted to say, Rizza, I'll see you
31:21
Speaker 3: in court.
31:23
Speaker 1: So great news, everybody. Alex Jones shows up on this episode.
31:27
Speaker 1: Frequent contributor to conspiracy theory. That's who Jesse goes to
31:31
Speaker 1: for tips on how to get to Maurice Strong.
31:35
Speaker 3: Primetime Jones. This is pre Sandy Hook Jones. This is
31:38
Speaker 3: when he was actually pretty much right about quite a
31:40
Speaker 3: lot of shit.
31:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is when he was getting put in movies
31:44
Speaker 1: and shit. Remember a scanner darkly?
31:46
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, he's in that.
31:49
Speaker 1: This is back when he leaned more toward Bill Hicks
31:51
Speaker 1: than he does now. He was still coming out of
31:53
Speaker 1: the Bill Hicks persona.
31:55
Speaker 3: Here's a firebrand.
31:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, still some of that on the right side of
31:58
Speaker 1: history stuff, of course through his veins, but the government
32:01
Speaker 1: beat that out of him eventually.
32:02
Speaker 3: We're now in the worst era of Alex Jones, which
32:05
Speaker 3: is skinny Alex Jones. Who the fuck ever wanted to
32:08
Speaker 3: see that?
32:09
Speaker 1: Yeah?
32:09
Speaker 3: I want him full of barbecue and suspicion.
32:12
Speaker 1: What is he even doing right now?
32:14
Speaker 2: Is he?
32:14
Speaker 3: Well? Info Wars is down, so he's just in a
32:16
Speaker 3: new Alex Jones show. I saw a clip on Twitter
32:19
Speaker 3: the other day.
32:20
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not surprising he's gonna still have an audience,
32:23
Speaker 1: but and he.
32:25
Speaker 3: Was, let's face it, born to talk. Incredible broadcaster.
32:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of my favorite Alex Jones moments. That really
32:33
Speaker 1: speaks to how much of a natural that dude is
32:37
Speaker 1: in front of a camera, which also lends to my
32:39
Speaker 1: suspicions that he's actually Bill Hicks. Back when he was
32:42
Speaker 1: doing a public TV show, like just on a public
32:46
Speaker 1: PBS type thing, he did a Halloween episode where all
32:50
Speaker 1: he did was on camera. He carved a jack O
32:53
Speaker 1: lannern while answering people's questions. It's like one of the
32:58
Speaker 1: most effortlessly fun to watch things. It's like that motherfucker
33:03
Speaker 1: God damn it, he's so powerful.
33:05
Speaker 3: If only he could point himself in the right direction.
33:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, he really is. Because you hear that about criminals
33:11
Speaker 1: a lot, where people are like, oh, if they just
33:14
Speaker 1: channeled all that energy into doing good in the world,
33:17
Speaker 1: can you met It's like, now they're still poor, they
33:19
Speaker 1: would have just hid. Yeah, But Alex Jones, if he
33:23
Speaker 1: put that fucking charisma into the good side of history,
33:26
Speaker 1: he could have probably fucking run for president or some shit,
33:29
Speaker 1: or gotten assassinated by the state.
33:31
Speaker 3: He would have been a martyr for some something good
33:34
Speaker 3: for sure.
33:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, Instead we got what we got.
33:37
Speaker 3: We got guest appearances on conspiracy theory with Jesse venture
33:40
Speaker 3: and a whole lot of what could have been.
33:42
Speaker 1: So he tells Jesse to go talk to a guy
33:46
Speaker 1: named George Hunt, brother of Mike Hunt. He says he's
33:51
Speaker 1: going to set up a meeting in this exact same warehouse.
33:54
Speaker 1: He's talking to Alex Jones in a warehouse for no reason.
33:57
Speaker 1: Clearly cameras and lighting and everything set up. It's not
34:00
Speaker 1: that clandestine. He says, he's gonna set this meeting up.
34:03
Speaker 1: George Hunt shows up the next day and he just
34:06
Speaker 1: reiterates what everyone else has been saying. They're using fear
34:10
Speaker 1: of climate change to take over the world. Again, no
34:13
Speaker 1: one specifies what they mean by take over the world.
34:16
Speaker 1: I think the word enslavement gets tossed around a bunch.
34:19
Speaker 1: We're not really told how we're going to be enslaved.
34:22
Speaker 1: He says, there's gonna be a one World bank, a
34:24
Speaker 1: one world government.
34:25
Speaker 3: They're gonna whip you while you plant trees for carbon
34:27
Speaker 3: credits and they'll say, plant faster.
34:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, is that what they're getting at? I have no idea.
34:33
Speaker 3: I mean I guess it's like they'll be like, you
34:34
Speaker 3: can't have a car because it's too much CO two
34:37
Speaker 3: or something or something like, you know what I mean. Like,
34:40
Speaker 3: I guess that's what they're getting at.
34:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, he says they're gonna oppose industry, and he like
34:45
Speaker 1: sort of looks at the camera when he says that,
34:47
Speaker 1: like any rich people watching, they're gonna oppose industry. You know.
34:50
Speaker 1: So I don't know that I trust George Hunt that much.
34:54
Speaker 1: And Jesse's team eventually goes all the way to Beijing,
35:00
Speaker 1: ostensibly to hunt down Maurice Strong, but they have to
35:03
Speaker 1: know they're not going to be able to do that.
35:05
Speaker 1: This guy is that fucking rich. And so they get
35:09
Speaker 1: there and all they tell us is, oh, he's working
35:12
Speaker 1: with the Chinese government to buy and sell carbon credits.
35:15
Speaker 1: That could have been a tweet. Yeah, this is why
35:18
Speaker 1: shows like this don't exist anymore. Can you imagine how
35:21
Speaker 1: much money they spent to get that one.
35:24
Speaker 3: Detail that's your scoop?
35:26
Speaker 1: You know, even by that point in history, I bet
35:28
Speaker 1: you could have just googled that shit. I bet that
35:30
Speaker 1: was just available on the internet.
35:32
Speaker 3: When you put the music underneath it and you get
35:35
Speaker 3: the b roll and you start doing some quick cuts,
35:38
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden you're like, whoa, he worked
35:40
Speaker 3: with the Chinese government to sell carbon credits. Then you
35:43
Speaker 3: think about it for ten seconds and you're like, okay.
35:45
Speaker 1: And that really is kind of the big reveal at
35:49
Speaker 1: the end of this. It's that Maurice Strong is working
35:52
Speaker 1: with the Chinese government to sell carbon credits, and it's like, well,
35:54
Speaker 1: would the US government work with him?
35:56
Speaker 2: No?
35:57
Speaker 1: Okay. It's the same reason a lot of basketball players
36:00
Speaker 1: go play basketball overseas when the NBA stops fucking with them.
36:04
Speaker 1: You'll work with who wants to work with you.
36:06
Speaker 3: Yeah. That's why Adam has me on the podcast.
36:08
Speaker 1: Goddamn right, and that's why Connor does this podcast. So
36:13
Speaker 1: that's the Global Warming episode. There's also Apocalypse twenty twelve,
36:18
Speaker 1: which is the other head of the two headed snake
36:21
Speaker 1: of episodes I did not cover because none of this
36:23
Speaker 1: shit happened. This is a whole episode about how the
36:27
Speaker 1: Mayan calendar ends December twenty first, twenty twelve, so the
36:31
Speaker 1: world's obviously going to end, and it's all based on
36:36
Speaker 1: this report from NASA. That's like, hey, in a few years,
36:39
Speaker 1: solar flares might come down and really fuck our shit up.
36:44
Speaker 3: Totally legitimate concern. There's this is stuff that has happened
36:47
Speaker 3: his story. In eighteen fifty there was a solar flare.
36:49
Speaker 3: It came down and made the northern lights look fucking crazy.
36:53
Speaker 3: It fried like telegraph wires and shit, But there wasn't
36:56
Speaker 3: like a whole electronical ecosystem of devices for it to
36:59
Speaker 3: like fry that would scare the shit out of people.
37:02
Speaker 3: So it was like relatively benign. Now that is a
37:05
Speaker 3: fucking bull in a China shop for like our entire civilization.
37:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, the thing is the way they sell it here is, oh,
37:13
Speaker 1: it's coming in twenty twelve. It's absolutely going to happen,
37:16
Speaker 1: and that clearly wasn't the case, but they pitch it
37:20
Speaker 1: like it's no, you don't even get it. This is
37:22
Speaker 1: why all these bunkers are being built. It's because of
37:25
Speaker 1: the solar flare thing, and that obviously didn't happen in
37:28
Speaker 1: twenty twelve. Doesn't mean it can't ever happen. But I
37:31
Speaker 1: don't know if any of the things they talk about
37:34
Speaker 1: here in terms of reinforcing the grid to prevent stuff
37:39
Speaker 1: like this. I don't know that we've done any of
37:41
Speaker 1: that infrastructure investment. We probably haven't.
37:44
Speaker 3: I mean, you remember when that hurricane knocked out all the
37:46
Speaker 3: power in Texas, you know, I mean, we just don't
37:50
Speaker 3: think about this shit just because it hasn't destroyed our
37:53
Speaker 3: lives yet.
37:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, And in that way, it puts the threat right
37:57
Speaker 1: up there with the there's a huge fault in the Midwest.
38:02
Speaker 1: Everyone makes a big deal out of the fault lines
38:05
Speaker 1: here in California that are going to cause a huge
38:08
Speaker 1: earthquake and kill us all. There's an equally huge one
38:11
Speaker 1: in the Midwest that's just been dormant for a lot longer.
38:15
Speaker 1: But if that fucking thing goes off, the Midwest is
38:18
Speaker 1: not prepped for earthquakes the way the West Coast is
38:22
Speaker 1: because we get them. The Midwest doesn't. But now with
38:25
Speaker 1: all the fracking and shit, earthquakes are way more common.
38:28
Speaker 1: There was actually one year that Oklahoma had more earthquakes
38:30
Speaker 1: than California, and it's and if all that fracking sets
38:35
Speaker 1: off that fault line in the Midwest, the Midwest is
38:37
Speaker 1: super duper fucked. But that doesn't mean they're knowing shit
38:40
Speaker 1: about it.
38:41
Speaker 3: This also fucks out my favorite minor league baseball franchise,
38:44
Speaker 3: the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes, which are now moving to Tulsa.
38:47
Speaker 1: Are they no? Just I mean it would Track Oklahoma.
38:52
Speaker 3: No. I went to call on Ontario and I'm a
38:53
Speaker 3: Tower Buzzers fan. That's our new team, Dodgers affiliated. Fuck
38:56
Speaker 3: you go, go Buzzers.
38:58
Speaker 1: I very much want to go to a Tower Buzzers game,
39:01
Speaker 1: just because I've heard that stadium is fucking amazing.
39:04
Speaker 3: It's really sick. I haven't gone yet. Let's go.
39:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm very much down. I read about that recently
39:10
Speaker 1: and yeah, I heard they spent like a few million
39:12
Speaker 1: on that stadium.
39:14
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it must have been more than that.
39:15
Speaker 1: I love a minor league game. We should not only
39:18
Speaker 1: go to a Tower Buzzers game. Long Beach now has
39:23
Speaker 1: a minor league team partially owned by Warren.
39:26
Speaker 3: G Oh you told me this. Yeah, it's so sick.
39:29
Speaker 1: And they are sometimes called the Long Beach Regulators have
39:34
Speaker 1: Ultimate Long Beach Regulators jerseys, and I got to get
39:39
Speaker 1: my hands on one of those, and I looked up tickets.
39:41
Speaker 1: They're like, the best tickets are twenty five dollars each.
39:44
Speaker 3: Oh fire, Yeah, that's like.
39:46
Speaker 1: Right behind home plate. Let's go to some baseball.
39:49
Speaker 3: Well all we still can honestly, yeah.
39:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah before the Mayan calendar ends again. So I
39:56
Speaker 1: don't know if any of the improvements to the infrastructure
39:59
Speaker 1: that they say are needed in this episode have happened,
40:02
Speaker 1: but probably not. That's kind of the thing Connor keeps mentioning,
40:06
Speaker 1: this is a TV show. They're not talking about things
40:09
Speaker 1: that aren't concerning. This is obviously concerning. They're just also
40:14
Speaker 1: obviously trying to package it in a way where you're like,
40:16
Speaker 1: holy shit, we're all gonna die. Huh. It's like maybe
40:19
Speaker 1: probably definitely eventually.
40:21
Speaker 3: But it could be another two hundred and eighty seven years,
40:24
Speaker 3: or another one thousand years, or it could be four years.
40:27
Speaker 3: There's no like predicting solar flares. I don't think we
40:30
Speaker 3: have that. We may be able to spot warning signs
40:33
Speaker 3: or something like that, but it's not something you could
40:35
Speaker 3: like schedule out like El Dino's.
40:37
Speaker 1: Yeah, and even if you could, I wonder if there's
40:40
Speaker 1: anything you could do. There's a fascinating documentary series I've
40:45
Speaker 1: mentioned a few times called I think it's called Evacuating Earth,
40:48
Speaker 1: and it's about an apocalyptic scenario where we find out
40:52
Speaker 1: a neutron star is headed for Earth. And in that scenario,
40:57
Speaker 1: we would actually have decades, we would know way in
41:00
Speaker 1: advance that it was going to happen, and in this case,
41:02
Speaker 1: we have seventy years where we know, all right, clock's ticking,
41:06
Speaker 1: that thing's going to hit. We're going to be fucked.
41:08
Speaker 1: And the series is about all the things we would
41:11
Speaker 1: do to try and find somewhere else to go, and
41:15
Speaker 1: it is fascinating. Also, only about two hundred thousand of us.
41:20
Speaker 3: Get to go, which yeah, sounds about right.
41:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the craziest part them talking about the chaos
41:25
Speaker 1: when people realize they're not going to get to go
41:28
Speaker 1: and they're just going to have to stand here and watch.
41:30
Speaker 3: The left behind. Like those Christian rapture books.
41:34
Speaker 1: Which would you prefer? Would you want to be on
41:36
Speaker 1: that ship or would you just want to see the
41:38
Speaker 1: Earth explode?
41:39
Speaker 3: I got to figure the Earth exploding camp is going
41:42
Speaker 3: to just be orgies and violence in the street. You
41:44
Speaker 3: know it's going to be clockwork orange. On some level,
41:47
Speaker 3: I know i'd want to go. I mean, I'm a pussy.
41:49
Speaker 3: I want to live, I want to see the generation ship.
41:52
Speaker 3: That's the starship where you can like support multiple because
41:54
Speaker 3: we can't go faster than light, but we can have
41:56
Speaker 3: an ecosystem where we could just sort of like keep
41:59
Speaker 3: living and children. I mean, I assume it was something
42:01
Speaker 3: like that, right, Yeah, it's really.
42:03
Speaker 1: The spaceship part is really interesting. They use all sorts
42:08
Speaker 1: like those artificial sunlight in there. It's the only scene
42:12
Speaker 1: I hate is the moment when Earth explodes. They show
42:16
Speaker 1: a scene from the spaceship and there's one lone child
42:20
Speaker 1: looking out the window watching Earth explode. It's like, motherfucker.
42:24
Speaker 1: Everyone would be in front of that window watching that
42:26
Speaker 1: shit happen.
42:27
Speaker 3: There's a great short story called Far Centauris. I forget
42:30
Speaker 3: who wrote it, but the premise is that there's this
42:32
Speaker 3: lot of slower than light spaceship going away from Earth
42:35
Speaker 3: towards like an habitable planet around Alpha Cintauri. And it's
42:38
Speaker 3: since it's literally in the light, it takes them like
42:40
Speaker 3: four or five hundred years or something to get over there.
42:43
Speaker 3: And by the time they get to that planet, the
42:44
Speaker 3: people that were back on Earth invented faster than light
42:47
Speaker 3: travel and even having a big super advanced technology party
42:50
Speaker 3: without them you know, and they are hundreds of years
42:52
Speaker 3: behind culture and everything. Anyway, that's what would happen to me.
42:56
Speaker 1: So this episode, after they get into the solar flares
43:00
Speaker 1: and stuff, that's when they start talking about the underground
43:04
Speaker 1: bunkers and things that the like, the Denver Airport comes
43:08
Speaker 1: up a bunch. We've done episodes about the Denver Airport.
43:11
Speaker 3: You ever been Oh yeah, yeah, I looked at all
43:13
Speaker 3: this stuff. It was a really fun layover.
43:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's what's cool about all the apocalypse stuff at
43:19
Speaker 1: the Denver Airport. You don't even have to go through
43:21
Speaker 1: if I recall correctly, you don't have to go through
43:23
Speaker 1: security to see it. It's all right there at the
43:26
Speaker 1: main entrance, I believe.
43:28
Speaker 2: Ye.
43:29
Speaker 1: Remember, I don't think you have to go through security.
43:31
Speaker 1: But either way, it's all right there up front. It's alarming.
43:36
Speaker 3: The weird organization that no one's ever heard of.
43:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the New World Government organization or some shit.
43:44
Speaker 3: It might be a be called conspiracy theory dot com presents.
43:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's gargoyles. That mural is fucking frightening. We'll repost
43:55
Speaker 1: our episode about the Denver Airport so if anyone somehow
43:59
Speaker 1: isn'tailiar with it.
44:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a pretty big one.
44:01
Speaker 1: It's a big one. And this episode gets into the
44:05
Speaker 1: idea that there are bunkers under the Denver Airport, which which.
44:09
Speaker 3: Kind of goes into my theory that like, you know,
44:10
Speaker 3: there's all these people that have to work on this
44:12
Speaker 3: and keep it quiet, and we'll hope it all those
44:14
Speaker 3: people keep it quiet. Brother, if you had a good
44:16
Speaker 3: union job with healthcare and a decent salary and all
44:19
Speaker 3: that shit, you would shut your fucking mouth too, bro.
44:21
Speaker 3: I mean, I saw some bad shit when I worked
44:24
Speaker 3: in television.
44:25
Speaker 1: And imagine if they were like, oh, also you can
44:28
Speaker 1: have a bunker.
44:29
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, you get a spot you're in.
44:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, when the shit goes down for helping us build this,
44:34
Speaker 1: you get a spot. Granted you're going to have a
44:37
Speaker 1: shitty job in there. We're still going to treat you
44:40
Speaker 1: like a poor person, but.
44:43
Speaker 3: You get a bunker.
44:44
Speaker 1: And I think the bunkers should have been this whole episode,
44:48
Speaker 1: because I do think that one. They actually make a
44:51
Speaker 1: pretty compelling point in this episode. I think they do
44:55
Speaker 1: make a decent argument that something is being built underground.
44:59
Speaker 1: They the only question is it's a big area and
45:03
Speaker 1: a lot of it is populated by gigantic flying airplanes.
45:08
Speaker 1: Would it not make sense to have a tunnel system
45:11
Speaker 1: under there so you could like it. When we did
45:13
Speaker 1: the Minnesota episode, there was all this talk about the
45:15
Speaker 1: tunnels under the Mall of America. Of course there's tunnels
45:18
Speaker 1: under the Mall of America. It's probably way easier to
45:21
Speaker 1: get around.
45:21
Speaker 3: You got to get your frozen Chili's entrees into the
45:24
Speaker 3: fucking chilies somehow, and you can't can't be bringing all
45:27
Speaker 3: that shit through the front door. It'll be a mess.
45:29
Speaker 1: So on the one hand, I get why there would
45:31
Speaker 1: be bunkers under the Denver Airport, but also at the
45:34
Speaker 1: same time, I don't doubt that it could be so
45:37
Speaker 1: people can relocate there in the case of an emergency.
45:40
Speaker 1: That's one of the funniest things about this episode to
45:43
Speaker 1: me is they're like, well, they know this apocalypse is
45:45
Speaker 1: coming and they're not doing anything. It's like, it sounds
45:48
Speaker 1: like they're doing something. Sounds like they're building a bunch
45:50
Speaker 1: of bunkers they can go hide in.
45:51
Speaker 3: Yeah the fuck they aren't. They're moving there four oh
45:53
Speaker 3: one k around so they can get a spot in
45:54
Speaker 3: the missile silo.
45:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just not doing anything for us, and it's like.
45:59
Speaker 3: When they yeah, so they'll be like sucks to suck
46:03
Speaker 3: nerd have fun up there on the Flaming Healthscape. I'll
46:06
Speaker 3: be eating Mrs twenty miles below the earth.
46:09
Speaker 1: And I believe they get into the Louisville or the
46:12
Speaker 1: Kentucky tunnels in this Also, I didn't rewatch all of
46:17
Speaker 1: the episode. Do you recall what other like tunnel structures
46:21
Speaker 1: they talk about.
46:22
Speaker 3: I think it was just Denver, Kentucky and the missiles
46:25
Speaker 3: under the Integram missile stilos that have been converted into shelters.
46:29
Speaker 1: And the thing about all of those, with the exception
46:32
Speaker 1: of the Denver Airport, you can just go look at
46:34
Speaker 1: them like you can kind of tour them, right, I
46:37
Speaker 1: know the ones in Kentucky, Like there's fucking shops and
46:40
Speaker 1: things in there, like you can just go see it.
46:43
Speaker 3: Oh, they do like a Norad tunnel too. They go
46:46
Speaker 3: to like a like an American like base carved into
46:49
Speaker 3: a mountain. It wasn't Norad, but it was something like that.
46:51
Speaker 1: And that is a moment I bring up all the
46:55
Speaker 1: time on this show because I'm paraphrasing, but there is
47:00
Speaker 1: just a magical moment where they're at the opening of
47:03
Speaker 1: that tunnel and there's a guy with a fucking machine
47:07
Speaker 1: gun and the gist of the conversation is Jesse Venture.
47:10
Speaker 3: Oh god, this is so fucked Yeah.
47:12
Speaker 1: He's like, what would you do if I just drove
47:15
Speaker 1: pasture right now? Guys like, I don't know, I'd shoot you,
47:19
Speaker 1: Like I fucking shoot you. Who do you think you are?
47:22
Speaker 3: Yeah? And he's like, well, what if you know there's
47:24
Speaker 3: a bunch of people coming through here? Would you would
47:26
Speaker 3: you open fire on American citizens? And he said, we
47:28
Speaker 3: do what we have to do.
47:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't know what other answer Jesse Venture
47:33
Speaker 1: was expecting. It reminds me of the Storm Area fifty one. Thing,
47:37
Speaker 1: Like part of one of the slogans attached to that
47:40
Speaker 1: was they can't shoot us all ship the fuck they can. Yeah,
47:43
Speaker 1: let's see, I bet they can, probably with some alien
47:47
Speaker 1: shit you have never seen before.
47:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's shoot your us with a heart attack.
47:50
Speaker 1: Kind Yeah, a shellfish toxin gun.
47:53
Speaker 3: But you'll be lucky if you get one of those
47:55
Speaker 3: hypersonic the sound weapons that make you shit your pants
47:59
Speaker 3: that you know they used for crowd control. You know,
48:01
Speaker 3: that's a real lucky.
48:02
Speaker 1: If I'm ever assassinated, I want the shellfish tocsin gun.
48:05
Speaker 1: I don't know why we soured on that, but that
48:08
Speaker 1: was a thing. The Directory of the CIA whipped it
48:11
Speaker 1: out during the Church Committee hearings and was like, oh this, yeah,
48:14
Speaker 1: it's real and it just fired a little dart of
48:18
Speaker 1: shellfish toxin. And when you get hit with that, you
48:20
Speaker 1: just like just peacefully die, Like wow, you just like
48:25
Speaker 1: check out almost immediately.
48:27
Speaker 3: I want someone to come up behind me at an
48:29
Speaker 3: addict show and shoot me in the back of the
48:30
Speaker 3: neck while I'm happy and I could just I could
48:32
Speaker 3: just go then and like I love big Brother.
48:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be great, it'd be great. So, yeah,
48:37
Speaker 1: they talk about these underground tunnel things, but the only
48:41
Speaker 1: one that still creeps me out is the Denver Airport.
48:45
Speaker 1: As far as the government building shit underground to keep
48:48
Speaker 1: the government going in the case of a disaster, good,
48:52
Speaker 1: that's what I want. I want. I would prefer that
48:55
Speaker 1: the government have somewhere else to go, because like it
48:58
Speaker 1: or not, that's who you're gonna have to turn two
49:00
Speaker 1: for help in a situation like that.
49:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, Unfortunately, I would as much as I hate the
49:05
Speaker 3: US government, I would want a continuity of power where
49:08
Speaker 3: the fucking secretary of like fucking puzzle pieces is the
49:12
Speaker 3: last guy left alive, you know, and he gets to
49:14
Speaker 3: be a president.
49:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that part I'm not mad about. Even the
49:20
Speaker 1: idea that, oh, rich people are building bunkers because they
49:24
Speaker 1: know something's gonna happen. Maybe they know also maybe they
49:28
Speaker 1: just have enough money that they're like, hey, something might
49:31
Speaker 1: happen someday. We should have a fucking bunker somewhere.
49:34
Speaker 3: I mean, if you just knew about like how an
49:36
Speaker 3: EMP blast would affect Los Angeles, you would want a
49:39
Speaker 3: fucking bunker too.
49:40
Speaker 2: You know.
49:40
Speaker 3: If I had the money, you think I wouldn't bunker up. Absolutely?
49:44
Speaker 1: That was gonna be my question. If you had the money,
49:46
Speaker 1: would you build a bunker?
49:47
Speaker 3: In two seconds? I would love to drive a Lamborghini Temorrio,
49:51
Speaker 3: but I would love to have the security of knowing
49:54
Speaker 3: I would survive the apocalypse more, you know.
49:57
Speaker 1: And I would also want it just as a cool
49:59
Speaker 1: place to hang out.
50:00
Speaker 3: Out, Me and Adam kicking back a couple of brus
50:04
Speaker 3: watching the science fiction movies. The Bunker, all right, that.
50:08
Speaker 1: Would fucking rip. And then also you can go there
50:11
Speaker 1: if some shit jumps off. That's great.
50:13
Speaker 3: I bet that the government's actual like like Nexstus, hub
50:16
Speaker 3: of like connuity of government and the big global nuclear
50:20
Speaker 3: war type situation. I bet it's under the shittiest, but
50:23
Speaker 3: it's under like Omaha, like someplace that would no one
50:25
Speaker 3: would ever bomb.
50:27
Speaker 1: Now, I will say Omaha I like a lot. I
50:29
Speaker 1: feel like Omaha should secede from the rest of Nebraska.
50:33
Speaker 3: But isn't that where Warren Buffett lives.
50:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
50:36
Speaker 3: When they have all this pedophile credit union scandals, Oh
50:39
Speaker 3: do they? Yeah, the Franklin scandal. I couldn't finish the book.
50:42
Speaker 3: It's very dense, but there's basically some Jeffrey Epstein shit
50:44
Speaker 3: happening at a credit union and Omaha roakes.
50:48
Speaker 1: If it wasn't in Nebraska, I'd probably live in Omaha.
50:51
Speaker 3: Wow.
50:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, Omaha or Minneapolis. I fucking love Minneapolis. Minneapolis rules, Yeah,
50:56
Speaker 1: I'd probably go Minneapolis. Yeah, that's a great fucking city.
51:01
Speaker 1: Love it. So yeah, twenty twelve world's gonna end. Sorry everybody.
51:05
Speaker 1: I hope you're ready. Maybe it did because there is
51:08
Speaker 1: a conspiracy that I think is also twenty twelve that
51:12
Speaker 1: claims we shifted into a different reality.
51:15
Speaker 3: That's when the Berenstein Bear, That's when the bar Yeah,
51:18
Speaker 3: I was just about to say that's when the Berenstein
51:20
Speaker 3: Bears became the barn Stain Bears. Yeah, something that I
51:23
Speaker 3: still can't reconcile on my brand. But I swear to
51:26
Speaker 3: God I read those books there were Berenstein I have
51:29
Speaker 3: the answer.
51:29
Speaker 1: I think. I think it's just bootleg shit. I mean,
51:32
Speaker 1: the Berenstain Bears were huge back then, and I think
51:36
Speaker 1: it's just either bootleg shit or just errors at the factory,
51:40
Speaker 1: because I've seen stuff where it's like one DVD or
51:44
Speaker 1: one VHS tape where the sticker is spelled different and
51:48
Speaker 1: people are like, see, it's like, well who manufactured it?
51:51
Speaker 1: Did you buy it at a store? Did you buy
51:53
Speaker 1: it on a street corner. I was alive in the eighties.
51:55
Speaker 1: I know how that shit worked.
51:56
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if my jank elementary school wasn't
51:59
Speaker 3: buying books.
52:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could. Back when I was a kid, Like
52:04
Speaker 1: even when I was in high school. If you went
52:06
Speaker 1: to the fair, like the Heart of Illinois Fair in
52:09
Speaker 1: Peoria every year, there would be tables where they would
52:12
Speaker 1: just sell bootleg cassettes. Like you could buy any album
52:15
Speaker 1: that was in stores for like three dollars and it
52:18
Speaker 1: was a shitty cassette. The artwork was printed at home
52:22
Speaker 1: for some reason. Side A was always on side B
52:25
Speaker 1: and side B was always on side A. But they
52:27
Speaker 1: would just sell that shit openly like you could do it.
52:30
Speaker 1: It's crazy. So I think that's I think that's all
52:33
Speaker 1: the Baron Stanton Bears shit is. There's the are you
52:36
Speaker 1: familiar with the we Are the Champions one? Now, there
52:40
Speaker 1: is a Mandela effect theory about we are the Champions
52:44
Speaker 1: because there is a claim that on the song we
52:47
Speaker 1: are the Champions, Freddie Mercury does not say of the
52:51
Speaker 1: world at the end of that line. It's just we
52:54
Speaker 1: are the Champions and then nothing else. All that is,
52:57
Speaker 1: I believe it's the album version does not say of
53:01
Speaker 1: the world at the end, but the single version, the
53:05
Speaker 1: version that's on Queen's Greatest Hits, the version everyone knows
53:10
Speaker 1: of the world. So it's not a Mandela effect thing.
53:13
Speaker 1: It's just, if you can believe it, they recorded more
53:16
Speaker 1: than one version of that song. Yeah, in the process.
53:20
Speaker 1: That's all it is. And I think that's all the
53:22
Speaker 1: Barrenstain Bears thing is.
53:23
Speaker 3: Too well though, But the one that got me lately
53:27
Speaker 3: is the you know, the fruit of the Loom logo.
53:29
Speaker 3: It doesn't have a cornucopia, It's just a bunch of fruit.
53:31
Speaker 3: I remember the cornucopia.
53:33
Speaker 1: That one is weird because I feel like I know
53:36
Speaker 1: what a cornucopia is because of that logo.
53:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, although that could just be someone doing copyright infringement
53:42
Speaker 3: and adding a cornucopia, like you said, bootleg merch. Yeah,
53:45
Speaker 3: put some fake undies.
53:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows. Yeah, there was one more I could
53:49
Speaker 1: The first time, the.
53:50
Speaker 3: First time I heard the Barnsting Bears thing, I was
53:52
Speaker 3: probably twenty two. I was so upset. I was at
53:54
Speaker 3: a comedy show. I went home. I was like, no,
53:58
Speaker 3: I don't know anything anymore. That was free the fuck out.
54:02
Speaker 1: And I know the Mandela effect itself. There was a
54:07
Speaker 1: I believe, prison riot in South Africa in the early
54:11
Speaker 1: eighties where a bunch of people died and Mandela was
54:14
Speaker 1: in jail at the time. And I think that is
54:17
Speaker 1: why people are conflating those two things, because there was
54:21
Speaker 1: a deadly prison riot around the same time Mandela was
54:24
Speaker 1: in jail.
54:24
Speaker 3: But that makes sense.
54:25
Speaker 1: He didn't die. I mean, he's dead now. I believe
54:28
Speaker 1: I think Mandela's dead.
54:29
Speaker 3: You heard that Chris rock bit. Here's so hard? Marriage
54:32
Speaker 3: is Nelson, Mandela got a divorce. He was in jail
54:35
Speaker 3: for thirty years. He didnt finally got out for two years.
54:37
Speaker 3: He said, I can't take this shit.
54:39
Speaker 1: So that's our episode. I don't remember what other episodes
54:43
Speaker 1: of Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventcher we have to cover,
54:46
Speaker 1: but we are going to cover him. Maybe me and
54:48
Speaker 1: Connor will do the fifty States of Conspiracy episode about California.
54:54
Speaker 1: That that feels like that's going to have to be
54:55
Speaker 1: multiple parts, right.
54:57
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a lot of conspiracies here, a lot
54:59
Speaker 3: of military testing sites.
55:01
Speaker 1: You know, Jonestown kind of started here before they moved
55:05
Speaker 1: to South America.
55:06
Speaker 3: We got the the Canyon, what's the what's the weird
55:10
Speaker 3: scenes inside the canyon? Laurel Canyon conspiracy where rock and
55:13
Speaker 3: rolls of Saya.
55:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, Manson, that is one of the more compelling conspiracies
55:18
Speaker 1: to me, there's a.
55:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get one with like fucking Jim Morrison's dad
55:22
Speaker 3: was like, hello, I'm mister Cia.
55:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Frank Zappa, all those motherfuckers. So yeah, we'll
55:28
Speaker 1: finish out the Jesse Ventura episodes, we'll be around. We
55:32
Speaker 1: changed the cover art. I don't know if anyone seen.
55:35
Speaker 3: The new cover art looks sick.
55:36
Speaker 1: I was going to tell you, hey, thanks, I did
55:38
Speaker 1: it myself. We haven't updated the conspiracy the show cover
55:42
Speaker 1: art literally since the show started, back when all of
55:45
Speaker 1: our thumbnail images had cats in them. So that's updated.
55:50
Speaker 1: And uh, I think that's it. What the fuck do
55:52
Speaker 1: we have to plug before we get out of here.
55:55
Speaker 1: I'll have stuff to plug soon, but not right now. Connor,
55:57
Speaker 1: what are you gonna plug?
55:58
Speaker 3: Uh? Make sure you follow me on social media. I
56:00
Speaker 3: don't know when exactly it's going to happen, but the
56:02
Speaker 3: rumor is that I wrote a book and it's coming soon.
56:05
Speaker 3: That's what I'm hearing. I'm not sure if it's true.
56:07
Speaker 1: Oh that's exciting.
56:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, my first book.
56:10
Speaker 1: That's cool. So uh, bolo you on the lookout for that, everybody.
56:14
Speaker 1: And I think that's it. Let's get the fuck out
56:16
Speaker 1: of here. Connor say goodbye, adios, goodbye everybody. We love you.
