- 1:15Speaker 2: The Diachtlas past incident.
- 1:18Speaker 4: It's great, You're gonna love it.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Let's jump go.

- 1:31a scratch.
- 1:34Speaker 5: And let me hear you shrink stop stand stop stop
- 1:47stop stop stop.
- 1:54Speaker 2: All right everyway?
- 1:57Speaker 1: Why you are podcast?

- 2:08Peach podcast, and we are gonna be talking about the
- 2:13Doomed expedition. And who do we have on tonight? Well,
- 2:18we have on the new host of the Cleveland Shwill podcast,
- 2:25my very own cousin, Brian. How are you hey?
- 2:29Speaker 1: What's up? Cosmic Peach listeners, And it's nice to be back.
- 2:35Speaker 2: It's going down because I have my theories, you have
- 2:40your theories, and the listeners have their own theories, which.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I think we're going to ruffle some feathers. Toy, I
- 2:46did so, and I'm okay with that. Go ahead and
- 2:52just tell me how stupid I am in the comments.
- 2:54I don't care.
- 2:56Speaker 2: No, So all right, So what I'm gonna do, I'm
- 3:02gonna just kind of break down the beginning and then
- 3:05I'm gonna let you jump in. So what I have
- 3:08is a group of nine mountaineers embark on a winter
- 3:15trek into Russia's I think it's pronounced Earl mountains, and
- 3:23their destination was a mountain called Mount o Torton. It
- 3:29is in Russia, obviously, and the locals call it oh Torton,
- 3:36which is Mancy for do not go there. So in
- 3:42the group there were three experienced engineers and the others
- 3:45were students. They were all young. The oldest of them
- 3:48was like thirty seven and get this, they had conducted
- 3:52other treks to this area, so this was not their
- 3:56first time.
- 3:57Speaker 1: And actually most of them are highly.
- 3:59Speaker 2: Experience, right right, and they were successful in their previous tracks.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:06Speaker 2: So, but for reasons we will obviously be discussing this
- 4:10particular track on February first, nineteen fifty nine, ended up
- 4:15in the deaths of all nine hikers, right your thoughts.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Okay, Well, let's talk about how the bodies were found
- 4:25and why it is so appealing to people, especially because
- 4:33it's so confusing, you know. So one of the things
- 4:37we were going to debate that this is what I
- 4:39have written down is the tents were found cut from
- 4:44the inside, open with provisions and things left behind when
- 4:51they ran out. Okay, when some of the bodies were found,
- 4:56they had high levels of radiation, one was missing a tongue,
- 5:00one was missing eyes cuts. Some of the bodies were
- 5:06described as being found with such extreme trauma, like blunt
- 5:13force type trauma that they knew a human being could
- 5:16not have done it. They were destroyed these bodies. What
- 5:24I have two is, you know, there was remnants of
- 5:27a fire. Some of the people were wearing the other
- 5:30one's clothes. So it was interesting though, because they were
- 5:36very good about documenting while they were going. They took
- 5:39a lot of pictures and they wrote their famili's postcards
- 5:42and that's part of the reason why a search party
- 5:44ended up coming out anyway, because the postcards stopped coming.
- 5:48I do know that the day that they were ended
- 5:53up at that pass, which a memorial now sits on
- 5:57it and it's actually highly visited. A lot of people go there.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Oh I'm sure.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Yeah, there's like a memorial thing put up there. But
- 6:07the day that they were actually doing that track horrible,
- 6:11This is completely documented. A horrible snowstorm came in very
- 6:16high winds, extremely loud, and actually pushed them off course
- 6:20and that's how they ended up over there, because the
- 6:22course was not plotted from there. Yeah.
- 6:25Speaker 2: I have that they ended up at a place called
- 6:27they set up camp atop an area called co lot Seacle,
- 6:34which translates to the Mountain of the Dead.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I did not. I don't
- 6:41know anything about that, and who knows if it got
- 6:44that name after the incident. I do know that some
- 6:47of that stuff though, like local people knew you don't
- 6:50go there, like yeah, that's why it.
- 6:52Speaker 2: Was called the Do Not Go There Mountain pretty much.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was. I do know that. You know,
- 7:00it is interesting the tracks that they found, like leaving
- 7:05the tents. None of them were wearing boots or shoes.
- 7:09They're either in socks or barefoot. Yeah, one person's hand
- 7:16was found bitten. One there's pieces of flesh found up
- 7:20in the trees. I mean, this was all.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Talking about actually, while we're on that, if we're talking
- 7:29about how they were found. So this is what I
- 7:34have for my notes that I wanted to make sure
- 7:36I read to you and you got and got your thoughts,
- 7:38because I have something was obviously pushing them to run
- 7:42away without taking any clothing with them, no supplies, nothing,
- 7:46so it would appear to me that they were flighting
- 7:49and not fighting. So basically they were found in what
- 7:55can be described as various states of mutilation, Like some
- 7:59of them were burned, some of them suffered radiation poisoning.
- 8:03One like you said the tongue was missing, and someone
- 8:06said they looked prematurely aged, that their skin was literally
- 8:11orange and their hair had turned gray.
- 8:15Speaker 1: I've never heard that. Yeah, I don't know that about
- 8:20that body. I don't know if that's something that could
- 8:22also have to do with a high levels of radiation.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Right, because one of the theories was like maybe an
- 8:29animal got a hold of them, and then I saw
- 8:31someone try to debunk it and go the area where
- 8:34they were in was so inhospitable that there wouldn't have
- 8:37been animals to like start eating them.
- 8:40Speaker 1: I wouldn't completely roll out animals. I mean, animals are
- 8:43very resilient, they're smart, they know what they need to
- 8:46be doing, and like they're not going to miss an
- 8:47opportunity to take advantage of anything. You know, they don't
- 8:51have the McDonald's up the street, so if they're around
- 8:54and there's something there that they can eat and it's
- 8:57right there, not going to fight back, I wouldn't roll
- 9:00completely out. With the amount of time that passed between
- 9:03their deaths and then them being found, which we both
- 9:06have discrepancies on that we can get into later. And
- 9:10I don't want to reveal all my stuff till the
- 9:12end of what I actually think happened. I think we
- 9:14could talk about some of the other theories.
- 9:17Speaker 2: Yeah, let me actually give you my gist of things.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Then Okay, let me get.
- 9:21Speaker 2: This part out of the way, because I feel like
- 9:23what I have is what most of our listeners are
- 9:25going to be like, yeah, that's what happened. Okay, then
- 9:29you can do years and we'll just debate each other then. Okay,
- 9:33So basically I have the animal thing couldn't have happened
- 9:37because but obviously it's like you said, if they're out
- 9:40there for a couple of days, I have that they
- 9:43were found ten days later and they were in these
- 9:46various states of mutilation. And I also have that because
- 9:55the cold should have turned them into popsicles and preserved
- 10:01their bodies, why were they found like this like I
- 10:07would think, and it's like they're so hospitable. Let's just
- 10:12say there's no animals. The cold should have preserved the bodies.
- 10:15So you can't blame the cold or the animals. And
- 10:18I don't know if there was any radioactive animals that
- 10:21could do this, unless spider that bit Peter Parker was
- 10:25out there, but that's probably not the case. Okay, let's
- 10:29just roll that off. And basically it doesn't stop there
- 10:33with like the orange coloration, the hair turning gray, because
- 10:38three of them had injuries consistent with being hit by
- 10:42a speeding car. But it was all internal, like their
- 10:45ribs were crushed like eggshells. Some of them actually had
- 10:51shards of their ribs enter into their hearts, but no
- 10:56effect on the skin. It was all internal, right.
- 11:00Speaker 1: That's true. I got the exact same thing.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Yeah, and this has been compared to a direct energy
- 11:07weapon to crush the inside and leave the outside pristine
- 11:13and there. Yeah, I'm thinking like direct energy weapon because
- 11:18basically the snow, the trees, everything else in the era
- 11:22was completely untouched. But we have like three people with
- 11:25crushed syndrome, a lady with gray hair, no eyes, no tongue,
- 11:31all this weird stuff, orange skin yea. And basically the
- 11:36official explanation was that the nine died of hypothermia, but
- 11:41EEF investigator never believed that was the cause of death
- 11:46and refused to sign off on the report and instead
- 11:49he completely resigned from the inquiry.
- 11:53Speaker 1: And it's it's their actual government explanation, which this is
- 11:58this is what leads to conspiracy theory. Let's face it
- 12:01was basically it's extremely vague. They weren't There was not
- 12:05really any uh leaked information period they I mean, they
- 12:11basically left it up to interpretation and let and when
- 12:15you do that, people are going to fill in the blanks,
- 12:19absolu fucking loosely, withever they whatever they want, They're going
- 12:22to fill the blank. They're going to fill the blank.
- 12:23That's where you get these there's a well, we can
- 12:27get into some of the other theories in a minute,
- 12:28but i'll when you're ready, I can talk to talk
- 12:32to you about them. They're kind of interesting.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Let me just sum up the end and then we
- 12:37can get to Brian's interpretations. So basically, I have like
- 12:42the local authorities try to cover the whole thing up.
- 12:44It was practically forbidden to mention it. And at the end,
- 12:49their bodies were buried in zinc coffins and they were
- 12:55closed coffins so no one could see them. I looked
- 12:59into the whole zinc coffin's thing, and most websites basically
- 13:03the information that I found said they used inc coff
- 13:06when they need like a really good seal on the coffin,
- 13:10which just kind of gave me the creeps, like what
- 13:12were they trying to seal in there? Like something coming
- 13:15off the corpses, Like what is it? So there was
- 13:19enough of an investigation and enough people had seen the
- 13:22corpses to conclude that they were not being told the truth.
- 13:26For example, why were some of them with their skin
- 13:29completely orange? The crushed syndrome thing, It was weird. Oh,
- 13:33a lot of people say to this state it's an
- 13:35unsolved murder. And just to top it off, years later
- 13:40after the event took place, members of the search party
- 13:45spoke out and according to their testimony, at the time
- 13:49of the incident, strange orange spheres or orbs were seen
- 13:55floating in the sky the night of the hiker's death,
- 13:59and even more or locals from the area confirmed the
- 14:02siding and of course other.
- 14:05Speaker 1: People hiking and that that did happen.
- 14:07Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Mancy people, like the local people that
- 14:12live over there, they were like yeah, And basically, fiery
- 14:16spheres have been ever present in Russia, especially in the
- 14:20more desolate areas, and locals know they exist, and it's
- 14:25basically just become a normal part of life for them.
- 14:29And to answer your question from earlier, according to an
- 14:33ancient Mancy legend, the Mountain of the Dead where our
- 14:37nine hikers were mutilated, received its name after a similar
- 14:42incident took place in which nine Mancy men were also
- 14:48found dead while seeking salvation from a flood, So I
- 14:54know that there was a.
- 14:55Speaker 1: River or stream real close to there.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Yeah, so I guess that was like back in like
- 15:00ancient time zone. That's where the legend came from. But
- 15:04my question to you is what would have compelled nine
- 15:09experienced mountaineers to flee their camp in their skivvies and
- 15:14bare feet and run for their literal lives And what
- 15:18in the world could explain the type of damage they sustained?
- 15:23Speaker 1: Right, yeah, Okay, let me go into a couple of
- 15:27the other more conspiracy type theories, because there are some
- 15:34here that some people are going to want to hear mentioned.
- 15:36I think, Okay, one, there was actually a photo that
- 15:40you can look up that was taken and it was
- 15:45we know, we can confirm it's a real photo that
- 15:48they know, it's not doctored. It's real. If you look
- 15:52it up, i'd say, like yachtlav pass YETI or whatever
- 15:56and taken there. Now, so this YETI It's it's one
- 16:01of those photos where it's more of like an outline
- 16:03of something in the background and you're gonna make your
- 16:06own interpretation of it. I think the problem with this
- 16:10theory of the picture and them thinking that it could
- 16:14be a Yeti there is. Yes, you see some of
- 16:19the bodies are mutilated, but the other ones that had
- 16:21like severe trauma, there's nothing.
- 16:23Speaker 2: Done to the skin, nothing on the skin.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Nothing on the skin. If a bigfoot is whooping your ass,
- 16:29you m h, you're gonna have something on the skin
- 16:33right now, Yeah, you're gonna have something. So I don't
- 16:36really like that theory. But the picture is there, and
- 16:39it kind of sparked, you know, those who want to
- 16:44believe that a Yeti's up there kicking people's butts, and
- 16:47they see that picture. I mean, that's gonna be some
- 16:49evidence for that. But I just don't think like yeties
- 16:53don't have anything to do with radiation. Yeties don't have
- 16:56anything to do with you know, cutting your from the
- 17:00inside and not like this, they'd be ripping the tent
- 17:06open to get to the people. Right. So there's another theory.
- 17:11And you talk about the government, believe it or not.
- 17:14I think four of the hikers, and I don't know
- 17:16they're there, they all went to this school called UPI,
- 17:20and four of them had major KGB connections for real,
- 17:23like this is one hundred percent true documented They these
- 17:26are really smart young people who had connections to the government.
- 17:31There are people out there who one hundred percent believe
- 17:34that the government could have been involved to try to
- 17:36cover up some things. But again that's a lot of
- 17:40speculation without a lot of evidence. And I get that
- 17:44when we do these things, we have to speculate. Even
- 17:47my story is going to be some speculation that had
- 17:50happened this way that way. I mean, I can't confirm
- 17:54these things. I can't prove it, you know, you just
- 17:56have to basically believe it. But there are a lot
- 18:00of connections to the KGB with this this hiking group,
- 18:04and they were a very smart group of people and
- 18:06a lot of engineers, and some of them had military experience.
- 18:11As a matter of fact, I think the last person
- 18:13to join the expedition was one hundred percent of KGB
- 18:17member And like that really got those type of rumors flowing. Okay,
- 18:26then when you talked about the craft there they did well.
- 18:32People that our meteorologists say everything that that fits with
- 18:37ball lightning, and that there is a lot of ball
- 18:39lightning in that area, ground lightning, ball lightning, and that
- 18:44can look like giant orbs light orbs in the sky,
- 18:48and that one of the theories actually about that is
- 18:53they said when that ball lightning would happen, they thought
- 18:57that the group saw this and was like, we've got
- 19:02to document this, and they cut their tents open and
- 19:05went out there to try to like get photographs of it.
- 19:09But see, to me, because the other campers nearby did
- 19:14see these lights in the sky, all that's confirmed that
- 19:16that stuff was going on that night the storm. But
- 19:21the thing to me that bothers me about that is like,
- 19:23if you're going to you're not cutting your tent open
- 19:26to take the camera out. You're not running down the
- 19:29damn thing bare flick and negative thirty degrees, which it
- 19:33was negative thirty degrees. Yeah, no way to go to
- 19:37go take some pictures of some stupid ass ball lightning
- 19:40with your camera that it's not even a megapixel it
- 19:43can't you know, it's going to take sixteen years to
- 19:46to develop it. Yeah, So I was like, this, this
- 19:52is crap. But that is another one of the theories.
- 19:55It's just a hard one for me to swallow because.
- 19:59Speaker 2: Like you said, these are very intelligent people. This isn't
- 20:03Joe Schmoe out there hiking.
- 20:05Speaker 1: I know, I know they've got a lot of experience,
- 20:10They're they're not going to destroy their tent over some
- 20:13pictures of ball.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Like.
- 20:16Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, another interesting one, and I had heard this
- 20:19one in the past, is there's a thing called infra sound,
- 20:24which is the sound that we can't really hear with
- 20:30our ears. But there is a belief that wind, and
- 20:35we know that there was a lot of strong wind
- 20:37can cause this infra infra sound. And what it does
- 20:44is there is a belief that it can cause people
- 20:48to do like basically lose their minds, not just to hallucinate,
- 20:54like literally start doing things that just most people wouldn't
- 21:00ever do think to do. It's it literally drives them crazy, which.
- 21:04Speaker 2: It sounds like direct energy weapon.
- 21:06Speaker 1: To me, Well, it can sound like whatever. I don't know.
- 21:10I mean, I just know that it's that's what they're saying,
- 21:14but I don't know if that's ever even been proven,
- 21:16you know, like that this stuff drives people crazy or
- 21:19does any of this stuff, But they say it causes
- 21:22irrational fear and would cause people to behave that way
- 21:27running into the thing, bite yourself, cut flesh off, eat
- 21:31your friend, and put their clothes on and dive like
- 21:36the thermia.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Explain the radiation in the crush syndrome.
- 21:43Speaker 1: Oh who cares? Who cares about that stuff that doesn't
- 21:48fit the narrative. Just throw that out. Let's say what
- 21:53I have to say. So, so I don't know. I
- 21:56don't buy. That's why I don't buy. But these are
- 21:58very these are very popular theories. You know, a lot
- 22:03of people hold about this, the sound theory and all that.
- 22:08So the last one I have is actually what I
- 22:14think happened. So if you want to cover anything before this,
- 22:18let me know, and I will wait to bring it up.
- 22:21Speaker 2: But Brian, it better cover all the points. Radiation crush,
- 22:27cutting their tent from the inside, missing tongue, It better
- 22:30cover all of it, or else we have to agree
- 22:33this was a direct energy weapon. Brian, go ahead, Well.
- 22:38Speaker 1: The ultimatum has been put forward. Okay, So there was
- 22:43a scientist who had this epiphany one day watching a
- 22:50Disney movie Frozen, and what he saw and Frozen was
- 22:54a simple like background scene where you see what is
- 22:59known and as a specific type of avalanche, it's called
- 23:02the delay slab avalanche. And delay slab avalanches are not
- 23:07very big. They're not like you envisioning in the movies
- 23:11or you see off the side of a mountain where
- 23:13just the snow. It's blatantly obvious this is an avalanche.
- 23:15It's covering everything. You're gonna be buried in twenty five
- 23:18feet of snow. A delayed slab avalanche happens similar to
- 23:23like when you would you have to have a degree
- 23:26of angle of about above twenty degrees, and we know
- 23:30that the mountain side that they were next to was
- 23:32twenty three degrees. So what happens is as the snow
- 23:36builds up, and we know a major snowstorm was occurring
- 23:38at that time because that's what took them off course,
- 23:41howling winds, ball lightning confirmed to some people, or UFOs
- 23:47to others. So there's a major storm going on. As
- 23:51that snow built up. That other snow that was already
- 23:54packed was kind of like a shelf already almost like
- 23:58a book. And let's say you had two books like
- 24:01you used to have in school, math and history. They're
- 24:04all glossy and they're sitting on top of each other.
- 24:07You pick that one book on the bottom and you
- 24:09start lifting it up, and once you get that book
- 24:12to about twenty three degrees, you'll notice the other one's
- 24:14slides right off, and what they're thinking happened is that
- 24:19snow is it built up, slid off the other snow
- 24:23and covered the tents of the hikers at about three
- 24:28to four feet of snow, which would be which actually
- 24:32would have some weight to it and be pretty scary.
- 24:35Now here's something that a lot of people don't know,
- 24:37and this is actually confirmed, and this is left out
- 24:39of a lot of stories because it's hard. It starts
- 24:44to make things make more sense. So why would these
- 24:47experienced hikers cut themselves out and leave the provisions and
- 24:52things behind in the tent. I'll tell you why. Because
- 24:56they had more provisions and more things stored in the
- 24:59world woods. So they were looking at everything as a
- 25:03lost cause in the tent as it was covered cut
- 25:06themselves out. They went to go get the stuff in
- 25:09the woods. They started running to get that stuff in
- 25:13the woods. They were barefoot and barely or in socks.
- 25:19Here's the thing that it's kind of interesting about this here.
- 25:25So you had a small group that went to try
- 25:31to go make a fire. Like the whole group they're
- 25:33trying to go make the fire. Well, the stuff on
- 25:36the ground isn't gonna burn. It's really wet. They're climbing
- 25:42trees to go get the dry stuff, cutting it down,
- 25:46picking it up, bringing it to try to burn it.
- 25:50But it's thirty fucking below. Two people already die of
- 25:54hypothermia right fucking there. They're gonna die. The guy who
- 25:59burned himself so fucking cold, he was putting himself into
- 26:02the fire to try to warm up. That's why his
- 26:05body burned up. You get to a point where you're
- 26:10so cold and you can't feel anything anymore, and people
- 26:15start to like, there's a test that some people do.
- 26:18They go, why did this? Why was his hand bit?
- 26:20He bit his hand? Can I even feel my hand anymore?
- 26:24I'm gonna test, like and he bit it. They put
- 26:28themselves in the fire because they're so fucking cold they
- 26:32can't handle it anymore. You know, it's really hard to
- 26:35envision negative thirty degrees, like when you think about it, like,
- 26:39that's really cold. That's I'm gonna spit and it's gonna
- 26:42freeze before it touches the ground. I have like nothing
- 26:44on it. So how did they get the other people's
- 26:46clothes on? Well, guess what. Two of them died and
- 26:50they're freezing. They don't have the other provisions yet. They
- 26:54stole this clothes off the dead people's bodies to try
- 26:57to stay warm. That's why they're wearing each other's clothes
- 27:01because they were freaking cold. So they cut that off
- 27:05and they scavenge it trying to stay warm. But three
- 27:11more rush off during this time to try to Like
- 27:15there was an idea that they could make a snow shelter.
- 27:18That was the next thought that these experienced hikers would
- 27:21have is like, we're doomed. Our tents are covered, we're
- 27:25trying to make a fire, it's not working. We've got
- 27:27to make some sort of snow shelter to get ourselves
- 27:31back and warm. And so that the remaining ones that
- 27:36were that had actually tried to stay alive and they're
- 27:40wearing the other clothes, they go to build a snow shelter.
- 27:46But what happens is while they're there, they don't realize
- 27:51there's this stream above and it had fifteen feet worth
- 27:55of snow, like in this stream as it's cutting it,
- 27:58they built this snow shelter. So they're already under a
- 28:00bunch of snow. This stream's cutting away at all this
- 28:03other snow that's by them, and that stream dumped fifteen
- 28:11to twenty feet worth of snow at twenty pounds per
- 28:15cubic feet, basically fifty tons. Fifty tons worth of snow
- 28:24landed on them, crushing them. Why nothing was done to
- 28:28the skin.
- 28:29Speaker 6: And it looked like a tank ran them over, flattening them,
- 28:34taking their their bones and sticking it through organs, but
- 28:38doing nothing to the skin.
- 28:40Speaker 1: So everybody goes, why the fuck did nobody realized this
- 28:44when they showed up, Because ten and thirty days later,
- 28:47because these bodies that were in the snow shelter were
- 28:49found later that I think you said all were found
- 28:52in ten days. I think some were found in ten
- 28:55days and others were found twenty days out after that.
- 29:01And that was the people in the snow shelter that
- 29:03were buried under twenty feet worth of snow, and they
- 29:09were the crushed ones. Now, where does the radiation come from?
- 29:13We talked about the severe injuries, what about missing eyes?
- 29:16What about the tonguel, well, the ones that were by
- 29:19the fire that were exposed when they were found flesh
- 29:23in the tree, tongue, missing eyes, missing. They do believe
- 29:29their theory is that animals got to those, Okay, So
- 29:32that can be debated. The radiation. What nobody talks about
- 29:39is that the lanterns they used gave off a lot
- 29:42of radiation, and if those lanterns were by those bodies,
- 29:47it would end up, especially for extended periods of time,
- 29:51caused that radiation poisoning and the levels of radiation. The
- 29:58lanterns that they used were radioactive lanterns back then. It
- 30:03gave off radiation. That is a fact. So we have
- 30:08animals eating eyes and tongues, radiation coming from the lanterns,
- 30:13one hundred thousand pounds landing on top of these people
- 30:19in the snow shelter, all causing varying degrees of craziness
- 30:27across three different areas, which I think is fascinating within
- 30:33itself and genius the people thought of this. Give me
- 30:38your thoughts after I've dropped the bombshell.
- 30:41Speaker 2: Okay, Bryan, coming in with the heat.
- 30:47Speaker 1: Or the cold, the snow, I'm coming with the snow
- 30:54on this one brought the blizzard, I brought the howling winds.
- 30:59Speaker 2: All right, I just call you Elsa. Okay, m hmm,
- 31:03let's see explain.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Uh huh.
- 31:10Speaker 2: The girl with gray hair, that was the one thing.
- 31:14Speaker 1: You know. I'm wondering if that could be a combination.
- 31:18And this is me pulling this straight from my ass.
- 31:24If what is it? What if it's a combination of
- 31:27you know, what would happen to you if you're basically
- 31:30freeze dried and radiate and head radiation the same time.
- 31:35Speaker 2: The orange skin.
- 31:36Speaker 1: Yeah, see, I don't know. Maybe that stuff is with that.
- 31:41I didn't find any explanation. I didn't even know about that,
- 31:44so I don't I don't know.
- 31:46Speaker 2: Because one of the pictures I saw, one of the
- 31:48girls looked like a skeleton.
- 31:51Speaker 1: Oh you saw pictures?
- 31:53Speaker 2: Mm hmmmmm, like she looked like a skeleton when they
- 31:59found her, Like literally, I wonder if I can find
- 32:03the picture. I mean, I don't know how you the
- 32:06one with the gray hair looked like a skeleton. It
- 32:10looked like something from like Poltergeist, like Beetlejuice, like a
- 32:16skeleton lady with gray hair, just.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Nice and nasty and yeah, uncha and everything else. Okay, Yeah,
- 32:28I don't know. I mean, I don't know if that's
- 32:33I mean, are we sure that's a picture from that?
- 32:36Speaker 2: Let me see if it was. I saw it on
- 32:39a documentary, okay, And I'm trying to google it right
- 32:43now and see if I can.
- 32:45Speaker 1: Find I mean, I think, all in all, this is
- 32:49an extremely interesting story, whether you subscribe to my idea
- 32:56or any of the other theories. I was fascinated. I
- 33:00remember hearing this for the first time like ten years ago,
- 33:05and to me, it was always one of the most
- 33:08fascinating incidents out there because it's just so cryptic and
- 33:15leaves a lot to the imagination. And it leaves a
- 33:18lot too. You know, people, do.
- 33:22Speaker 2: You when you first heard this story, did you think
- 33:25it was something paranormal?
- 33:27Speaker 1: Yes, but that was my that was my thought process
- 33:33at that time. But I always like to say, you know,
- 33:40I personally don't like to get married to ideas. Regardless,
- 33:44I do like to say when evidence presents itself, I
- 33:49found it. Okay, you found this picture. You found the documentary.
- 33:58Speaker 2: Jesus see, that's what I'm talking about, Brian.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Are we sure what the hell is that?
- 34:06Speaker 2: Oh?
- 34:06Speaker 1: Hang on, Oh my god, you should put that picture
- 34:11up on this I will, because.
- 34:15Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about. It's like some of this stuff,
- 34:19it could be a hybrid of what you're talking about
- 34:22and what I'm talking about, because, like, let's say, the
- 34:26reason there was no slab avalanche. Let's just roll that
- 34:30out right now, because I don't even think with them
- 34:33being as experienced as they were, that they had never
- 34:36seen a slab avalanche before, okay, that they would have
- 34:41to slice themselves in their skivvies and run out of
- 34:43their tents. They couldn't just unzip the fucker and just
- 34:47like formulate a plan before they got out of their tent, like, hey, guys,
- 34:53we've encountered a slab avalanche. Let's get our thoughts.
- 34:56Speaker 1: They didn't know what they had to have happened to them.
- 35:00They just know that they were just covered in snow,
- 35:02you know.
- 35:02Speaker 2: Even still, I feel like with their experience, they'd be like,
- 35:06all right, we're in a crisis situation. Let's pull ranks
- 35:11so we all survived this shit and formulate a plan
- 35:14so we don't all freeze the death, not just take
- 35:17knives and start slicing out of their tents. What if
- 35:20they saw, okay, you'll have like so if we're gonna
- 35:26go government issued direct energy weapon. They saw the things
- 35:33in the sky and knew what the fuck they were
- 35:35because of their involvement in the government, and they were like,
- 35:39they're about to fucking take us all out, let's get
- 35:42the fuck out of here, slicing dice. They're out of
- 35:45the tent, they're running down and then what you said happened.
- 35:48Some of them make it to the forest, some of
- 35:50them don't. Some of them get blasted by the direct
- 35:53energy weapon. A couple of them are left behind. They
- 35:56didn't get blasted, but now they're dying of hypothermia. Animals
- 36:00come along later clean up some of the mess. But
- 36:03one girl definitely got blasted. Her hair turns gray, skin
- 36:06melts off, she's a skeleton. A couple of the other
- 36:09ones snowfalls on them. They get crushed. A couple other
- 36:13ones they just dive hypothermia. Animals come along, eat the flesh,
- 36:17pick the eyes, get the tongue. So we have various
- 36:20degrees of like them trying to escape the direct energy weapon.
- 36:27Speaker 1: Okay, okay, am I supposed to be trying to prove
- 36:30this wrong?
- 36:31Speaker 2: Or like Noah, I mean, you're what do you think
- 36:34about that? Do you think it's possible? Do you think
- 36:36I'm do I have a case?
- 36:39Speaker 1: Well, I think you have a case that. To me,
- 36:42what I would want to see is one what this
- 36:46weapon would be, two that it exists, or that we
- 36:49know of something like that that exists in another incident
- 36:53that is documented somewhere. That's the kind of stuff that
- 36:57would help prove that case to me.
- 37:01Speaker 2: So a direct energy weapon would be like some people
- 37:05think that what happened to the Georgia guidestones was a
- 37:08direct energy weapon.
- 37:11Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know that story.
- 37:13Speaker 2: So basically, the Georgia guidestones were like put in play.
- 37:18It was like a stone hinge monument, okay, And it
- 37:22was like one of our national monuments that you could
- 37:24go to Georgia, Georgia, and they got knocked over and
- 37:31cracked and the it's like the stoneheade thing, Like something
- 37:35massive would have had to have happened to break these
- 37:39stones or move these stones or anything happened to the stones.
- 37:43And a lot of people were saying, like direct energy weapon,
- 37:46like something that could just massively so it would be
- 37:49like you don't even see anything, or it's like you said,
- 37:52like a massive blast and it just blasts you and
- 37:56it just it just like radiates you. And so that's
- 38:00that's my theory, Okay.
- 38:05Speaker 1: I mean the thing is I can't prove something didn't happen,
- 38:11you know what I mean, Like I can't prove that,
- 38:13so I don't try to do it. I never try
- 38:14to prove a negative, So I'm not gonna argue with
- 38:17somebody else's theory if that's what they want to subscribe to.
- 38:22I wrote this down because it made the most sense
- 38:27to me.
- 38:28Speaker 2: I think it makes the most sense. Except for the
- 38:31girl with the gray hair and a skeleton face.
- 38:35Speaker 1: Well, I don't even know about it. Do you have.
- 38:39Speaker 2: Any Have you ever heard of hypothermia or being left
- 38:42out in the cold that long that your skin just
- 38:44melts off your face? Have you ever heard anything like that?
- 38:49Speaker 1: No?
- 38:49Speaker 2: No, I'm asking seriously because.
- 38:53Speaker 1: So I'm laughing because you're like, it's where the skin
- 38:56melts off your face? Well, no, I have not seen
- 39:00anybody get so damn cold. I'll freezing over here. Oh
- 39:05I can tell your face smelting your face is uh yeah,
- 39:13your jaws on the ground, Yeah, I can tell your.
- 39:16Speaker 2: So I have to say, though, I think your idea
- 39:20of like the three separate things going on makes more
- 39:26sense than them just getting blasted at.
- 39:29Speaker 1: Once, because they're dying at different times and.
- 39:32Speaker 2: Dying at different times. Because it is proven that some
- 39:37of them had the other one's clothes on. Yeah, so
- 39:41they had to have time to do that.
- 39:44Speaker 1: Yeah, and you heard my part of that explanation. What
- 39:48I thought that was where you go ahead, some of
- 39:50them dying and they're freezing, so they're grabbing, they're cutting
- 39:53the clothes off, the rutting the.
- 39:54Speaker 2: Clothes off to put them on themselves.
- 39:56Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 39:58Speaker 2: And see what I'm thinking.
- 39:59Speaker 1: To is you can negative thirties, no joke.
- 40:04Speaker 2: I mean, but Brian, you think about that. You think
- 40:07about that. Your feet are bare. You're losing your feet.
- 40:11Speaker 1: First, You're losing feeling in everything.
- 40:16Speaker 2: You can't walk, you can't walk, you can't keep your
- 40:19blood circulating because your feet are fucked. They're gone.
- 40:23Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's gonna be because the body, the body
- 40:28to conserve heat, pulls the blood from the extremities. That's
- 40:32why your fingers or yeah to the organs trying to
- 40:35keep you alive. So I mean, you there, you are
- 40:40screwed at that point. Do you think.
- 40:43Speaker 2: Those lamps put off enough radiation to like cause them.
- 40:48Speaker 1: You know, And that's a good that's a good question too.
- 40:50I did think about that where I'm like, I do
- 40:53know that those lamps are radioactive, and that is left
- 40:56out a lot of times, you know, I think need
- 41:00to be brought up. But the level of radiation, I
- 41:05don't know, you know, like I feel like people that
- 41:09were using those lamps during that time where people getting
- 41:12sick and not knowing why because they didn't know that
- 41:15radiation was that bad for you.
- 41:17Speaker 2: But I'm talking about like in one night. Could it
- 41:21have caused the amount of radiation that these people had,
- 41:26like to the point where they had to be buried
- 41:28in zinc coffins?
- 41:30Speaker 1: Well, and you know the thing is, I don't know
- 41:32if the zinc coffin for sealing purposes was like normally
- 41:38to shield radiation, you put lead, you know, which is
- 41:41really heavy, and you put lead around to seal radiation.
- 41:47I don't know if zinc works or not. I know
- 41:50you said that you had read that zinc is used
- 41:54to seal, But you know, you think about the state
- 41:57of those bodies, like even no matter how they they were,
- 42:00if animals got a hold of them, plus they were frozen,
- 42:03plus they were crushed, plus they bit themselves, and I mean,
- 42:08I'm sure that nobody wanted to see those bodies like
- 42:13open coffin type situation. So I don't know if that's
- 42:16why that was done that way, I can definitely see,
- 42:20you know, and if they didn't, if they couldn't figure
- 42:22out at that time, how these bodies got crushed, how
- 42:27these things. You know, governments, especially communist ones have egos
- 42:32just like anybody else. Nobody wants to go to a
- 42:35microphone and pretend like we don't know what happened. We don't,
- 42:39So I can totally see them one doctor being like,
- 42:41they didn't just die of hypothermia. Let's get real. This
- 42:45guy's freaking rib cage bone is stuck through his heart. Okay,
- 42:50that's not hypothermia. This person's missing a tongue and eyes.
- 42:54I don't think the hypothermia did it, you know what
- 42:58I mean?
- 42:59Speaker 7: Like that.
- 43:00Speaker 1: Lattly, like you guys, you can't just say hypothermi, all right,
- 43:03which is like what they're trying to get away with.
- 43:06So that's good, and these families are not gonna just
- 43:09live with no excuse. Come on, it's hard enough to
- 43:11get closure when you do know what's happened, and it's
- 43:14hard to come to grips for people when you do
- 43:17know what's happened to your love. Imagine hearing the government say, well,
- 43:22we've done a seventy two day investigation and it was hypothermia.
- 43:27But and you're like, motherfucker bullshit.
- 43:32Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean instantly.
- 43:36Speaker 1: You're jumping to every conclusion. That's just human nature. That's
- 43:40what you're gonna do. You're gonna be like, oh, no,
- 43:42I know what's up. The government did this, The government's involved.
- 43:47I know that they had KGB backgrounds, and I mean
- 43:50I can tell. I mean that's legit documented. So when
- 43:54you see people go to that level and the governments
- 43:58are so secretive actually like a KGB and the Russians,
- 44:02and they don't feel like they have to give you
- 44:03answers on anything, those families were probably like a big
- 44:08majority of one spreading type, those types of rumors, trying
- 44:13to come up with their own closure.
- 44:15Speaker 2: But can we both agree it wasn't no type of
- 44:18a yeddi.
- 44:20Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not going with the yeddi. But I wanted
- 44:23to bring it up because if you do look it up,
- 44:25and some of the people there and some people may
- 44:27believe it was yeddie, But if you look up this incident,
- 44:31you can actually find a picture. Maybe you could even
- 44:35you could probably find it when you Google and put
- 44:37it on the Instagram. You'll see it, and it's like
- 44:40one of those pictures where you're like, somebody could have said,
- 44:44you know, a troll was living in the area, or
- 44:46somebody could have said, like a gnome that baked cookies
- 44:49was living in the area, and somebody somebody'd be like,
- 44:53that is the home that makes the cookies. And it's
- 44:55just this shadow outline, you know, so you can make
- 44:58it whatever you want, but it does look suspect. I'm
- 45:02not gonna lie. It's like back in the woods and
- 45:04it's just this little shadow that looks like it's got
- 45:07two arms and legs looking at you. But I mean,
- 45:10it's not like some up close ape is you.
- 45:17Speaker 2: Know, not definitive what I want to do, because I
- 45:23think a lot of the problem is when people talk
- 45:25about scenarios like this, it's all hypothetical, so they're thinking like, well,
- 45:32it could have possibly, and then they like say this
- 45:34whole big story. But I always think of it as
- 45:39if I'm the hiker, what would I do if a
- 45:46slab avalanche came down?
- 45:50Speaker 8: And I don't even know if I want to know
- 45:53what you do? All right, so I'm minute would you do?
- 46:01What would you do?
- 46:02Speaker 2: In my underwear?
- 46:06Speaker 1: It's negative thirty out there, like I'm still sleeping in
- 46:09my god damn under my lady alone.
- 46:11Speaker 2: I'm staying in my sleeping bag.
- 46:15Speaker 1: Yeah, but if all that snow was on top of
- 46:20the tenant might be like pushing down on you, it
- 46:22could have been scary. That might have been why they
- 46:24would they cut.
- 46:24Speaker 2: Then to let the snow win.
- 46:27Speaker 1: Because they're trying to get out. They don't know. Why
- 46:30would they.
- 46:30Speaker 2: Cut the top of the tent off and then go
- 46:34up like that.
- 46:36Speaker 1: Because they're scared, But we don't even know cut it
- 46:41open there. It's like it's like the snow's giving birth
- 46:46to them. They pull, they put their arms up, they
- 46:48push it out the way, and they they get out
- 46:52into exactly where they want to be. Sixty mile per
- 46:55hour howling winds, negative thirty degree temperatures, and they're wearing
- 46:59a tee shirt.
- 47:02Speaker 2: Well, did you know what I'm just gonna ask you
- 47:05straight up? You said, because the slab avalanche is not
- 47:08as big as the ones that we picture in like movies.
- 47:10Speaker 1: Yeah, so they're thinking only a couple feet of snow
- 47:13would have gone over the whole thing. But my whole
- 47:15argument to that was they you know, if you're in
- 47:18the tent. You don't know how much snow's up there.
- 47:20You don't know shit, You're just like, holy crap, like
- 47:22a whole ton of is your snow covered?
- 47:25Speaker 2: But is your first thought to cut the side of
- 47:28the tent or is your first thought to maybe unzip
- 47:30the top of the tent where it's then zippered, and
- 47:33then maybe poke your head out and be like, let's
- 47:35see how deep the snow is where I start cutting
- 47:37my only place to live.
- 47:39Speaker 1: You know. The thing is, I honestly don't know. I mean,
- 47:43to me, that is very confusing, Like I don't know
- 47:47what it was like in the tent, if the tent
- 47:49was able to hold up any of that weight, or
- 47:52if when that snow came on top of it, it
- 47:54actually pushed the tent down on top of them, so
- 47:57they had no direction, They didn't know where they were, like,
- 48:01you know what I mean, Like the poles were not
- 48:03strong enough to hold that up, so that tent just
- 48:05basically came down on top of them like a sheet. Now,
- 48:08all of a sudden, you're kind of in panic mode.
- 48:10You've got pressure on top of you and and you
- 48:14know that there's weight there and you can't really see left,
- 48:17right side nor center, So you don't know what to get.
- 48:22You've cut it open there and you just go straight
- 48:25up because you're not grabbing anything because you don't know
- 48:27where anything is.
- 48:28Speaker 2: Okay, but let's debate. Let's debate right now. Let's take
- 48:32a look at the situation.
- 48:34Speaker 1: All right.
- 48:35Speaker 2: The tent was found complete, the structure was completely intact,
- 48:43standing up, and the only damage to the tent was
- 48:48from the knife pairs from inside.
- 48:50Speaker 1: That's a good Okay, that's a good point. No, that's
- 48:52a good point. You're looking at the admap. Sure, I'm
- 48:55not gonna fuck with that. That's a good that's a
- 48:57great point. That's a great point. So I was trying
- 49:00to think outside the box on them.
- 49:03Speaker 2: If they were buried alive almost in their tent.
- 49:06Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so it's laying on top of You're like,
- 49:08I gotta get the hell out of here. But it was,
- 49:11it wasn't, and that's so that's a great point. So
- 49:13if you had time to look left, right, center, look
- 49:16at your buddies, you could be like, let's devise some
- 49:23enough stuff, get just to where the other provisions and
- 49:28the other things are at. But let's make sure we're
- 49:32warm enough because where we're at now, we don't know
- 49:35how much snow is on top of this, if more
- 49:37is gonna come, if whatever. Obviously you can't unzip the
- 49:40tent where the normal spot is because there's more snow there.
- 49:43You might be in too deep. I could see then
- 49:45you cut it open. I don't understand the logic behind
- 49:49not putting your boots on. I don't understand the logic,
- 49:52especially with the snow and how cold it was, I
- 50:00don't understand.
- 50:01Speaker 2: I don't understand it either.
- 50:02Speaker 1: And unless they were pure unadulterated panic.
- 50:07Speaker 2: Mode, and what could cause that? Two very experienced hikers,
- 50:13what could cause fight or flight? And obviously they they
- 50:16were flighting and not fighting, you're gonna.
- 50:19Speaker 1: Say, government, I can't confirm that.
- 50:26Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, this ship, Brian, Okay, all right? Alien popped
- 50:36up in the tent.
- 50:40Speaker 1: YEA, god damn it.
- 50:49Speaker 2: I'm thinking if it was me, I'm cutting myself.
- 50:54Speaker 1: I tell you this, an alien, Some fucking bitch ass
- 50:57alien pops up in my fucking uh. I'm cutting out
- 51:01that bitch too, right. I don't care. I'm gonna take
- 51:04my chances, because you know, those motherfuckers are gonna do
- 51:08some crazy ass ship to you. Worse than that. I
- 51:13saw a fight.
- 51:15Speaker 2: All jokes aside. You wake up in the middle of
- 51:18the night and you're in the fucking Arctic. You're in
- 51:22your sleeping bag. You look up and e T is
- 51:27standing right there.
- 51:29Speaker 1: Okay, what are you gonna do.
- 51:33Speaker 2: You're going to go in fight or flight mode. You're
- 51:35going to jump like slides out of your tent. Maybe
- 51:39they grabbed the dives to defend themselves.
- 51:42Speaker 1: I'm gonna.
- 51:45Speaker 2: One up.
- 51:48Speaker 1: Why are these aliens? First of all, they're like looking down,
- 51:55They're like, hey, look there, horrible snowstorm, one hundred mile
- 52:01per hour winds. Hey hate billy, Go take your big
- 52:06ass head and your big ass eyes and your naked body.
- 52:13Speaker 7: And head.
- 52:14Speaker 1: I'm down and I'm down into that tent. Yeah. Sure,
- 52:23Hawaii's a five second flight away. But let's fuck with
- 52:30these twenty three year old Russian kids for a minute.
- 52:36Come on, click, get down there. We gotta get to
- 52:39Hanal probes ready, Come on, you know you aliens ain't shit.
- 52:49Let's ask the real questions. If you're an alien, you're
- 52:53going to go get some cows and do all that
- 52:55other stuff on some farm land. You are not going
- 52:57to no jot Love Pass. But that's the thing.
- 53:02Speaker 2: This mountain is known for UFO activity. It could have
- 53:06just been their their nightly routine to pass by. And
- 53:10then they were like, you know what, I know, we're
- 53:13doing our nightly rounds. We're about to head over the
- 53:15Yachtla Pass. But I'm starting to feel a little hungry day. Look,
- 53:22there is a tent full of people. Let's enjoy ourselves.
- 53:28A little scared, but no, Brian, this area is known
- 53:35for UFO activity. That's why the people, the locals and
- 53:41the people who went on the search party to find
- 53:44the bodies both said, yes, there were orbs in the sky.
- 53:48Yes they were orange and glowing.
- 53:51Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
- 53:53Speaker 2: And then like the local people are like, oh, it's
- 53:55just a normal regular occurrence for us. We see fiery
- 53:59sphere in the sky all the time. The thunderstorm doesn't
- 54:04have nothing to do with It. Could be a completely
- 54:05clear night and.
- 54:06Speaker 1: They round lightning, lightning. I think that's what that is.
- 54:09Speaker 2: But even if there's no storm, yeah yeah, so you're
- 54:17going you're one hundred percent that this couldn't have been it.
- 54:20And because the only thing that could make me forget
- 54:23all basic human instinct is an alien showing up in
- 54:26my tenth.
- 54:30Speaker 1: I get it, but you know they what do you describe?
- 54:35Speaker 2: The avalanche was like that scene in Mulan where she
- 54:39takes the thing and she shoots that side of the
- 54:41mountain and it just buries everybody, and she's like pulling
- 54:45people up from the snow by their hair and it's
- 54:47just like little heads popping up out of the snow.
- 54:49That's what I was imagining. But looking at the picture
- 54:53of the tent, it was completely unscathed other than the
- 54:57fact that it had been torn from the inside.
- 55:01Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not a lot of snow on.
- 55:03Speaker 2: That and would make them panic like that that little
- 55:09bit of snow.
- 55:11Speaker 1: I don't know if they knew how much snow it was,
- 55:16and they might have thought, if this amount hit us,
- 55:21more's on the way. We've got to move.
- 55:26Speaker 2: To the point where they'd cut themselves out of the
- 55:28tent with no shoes on. Brian, think about if it
- 55:34were you that.
- 55:37Speaker 1: I think it's all crazy. Okay, I'm not saying that
- 55:40it's not crazy, But we are also looking at this
- 55:42from hindsight twenty twenty, like we know they died, we
- 55:46know they fucked up, We know that they didn't make it.
- 55:49And now we're going to say, well, we know that
- 55:51didn't work. But in the moment, you know, they were
- 55:59swinging for the fence, as I guessed, they were trying
- 56:02to hit the home run ball.
- 56:03Speaker 2: Maybe they should have bun Brian, if you looked around
- 56:07you right now, sitting in your kitchen and you saw
- 56:10an alien, are you gonna run out of the house
- 56:15or are you gonna be like, let me get my shoes,
- 56:19let me. No, you're not. You're gonna be fighting, not fighting,
- 56:22unless you want to fight an alien, which I don't recommend,
- 56:26you are gonna freak the fuck out. These were experienced higers.
- 56:30They had been to the area several other times. They
- 56:33would have experienced controversy and known basic survival instincts.
- 56:42Speaker 1: Well, they did do. Everything that they did do is
- 56:46kind of by the books. And that was the joke.
- 56:48When they built the snowshlter, that was one hundred percent
- 56:51by the books. And it's funny. If they would have
- 56:54done the wrong thing, they probably would have lived.
- 56:58Speaker 2: If they would not have built in the Yeah.
- 57:00Speaker 1: Yeah, but that was like by the book what you
- 57:03should do in that situation.
- 57:04Speaker 2: And then okay, now you're you're fucking me up because
- 57:08if I see an alien, yeah, okay, so stopping until
- 57:14I see trees.
- 57:15Speaker 1: So these people that just saw the alien and the
- 57:18tent run. They sprint as fast as they can and say,
- 57:24all right, we're twenty feet away from the tent. Quick,
- 57:27build a fire. The alien will never get us.
- 57:29Speaker 2: Now, you're right, this is why it's so mysterious.
- 57:37Speaker 1: I know. And then the one guy, I'm just gonna
- 57:40throw myself in the fire now that there's aliens around
- 57:43and bite my hand.
- 57:48Speaker 2: The two problems I have is the lanterns not being
- 57:53radioactive enough to cause the level of radiation.
- 57:56Speaker 1: They have well, and I don't know. I don't know
- 57:58if it is.
- 57:59Speaker 2: We can't confirm or deny. And then let's just say
- 58:02it was enough with those lanterns going on all night
- 58:07or however long until the bodies were found, they were
- 58:09around these lanterns and that's what caused like the radioactive overload.
- 58:14The lady who had the melted face with the gray
- 58:18hair is really fucking me up right now.
- 58:24Speaker 1: Look, I don't know anything about I don't know anything
- 58:27about that lady.
- 58:29Speaker 2: I don't know that's he looked like a twenty seven
- 58:32year old to you from that photo, he keell it
- 58:37a skeleton brino.
- 58:40Speaker 1: That looked like something from a movie. To me, I
- 58:42don't know, that's I've never I've never seen that picture,
- 58:46so I don't know. I mean, that was freaky. That
- 58:49picture's freaky. So if that was actually part of the thing,
- 58:53you know, I don't know. I don't know anything about that.
- 58:56Speaker 2: Your best conspiracy theory, just entertain me. Okay, what do
- 59:02you think the relationship is with them being involved in
- 59:05the KGB.
- 59:07Speaker 1: Well, no, I know that's confirmed, Like it's confirmed.
- 59:10Speaker 2: But do you think it had anything to do with
- 59:13what happened?
- 59:15Speaker 1: Yes, in the sense that I do think that that's
- 59:18why the government didn't want a lot of the information
- 59:20getting out, And it may not have had anything to
- 59:23do with that specific incident that happened to them more
- 59:25than like their actual involvement with projects that were going on,
- 59:31things that they were trying to get involved with. I
- 59:33do I can't remember. I do know that one of
- 59:36the people was like a big part of trying to
- 59:39it money had something to do with extracting information from
- 59:42the CIA or something like that, So they probably didn't
- 59:45want some of that information getting out or the backgrounds
- 59:51of some of these people. So if you want to
- 59:54talk conspiracy theories on that level, I mean I would
- 59:59buy that, you know, like I don't. I don't think people,
- 1:00:04especially those governments at that time. You're looking at Cold
- 1:00:07War type shit, and if it had to do between
- 1:00:11the United States and Russia. I mean, people have a
- 1:00:18hard enough time trusting any government these days, which I
- 1:00:21actually really don't blame them for that. I don't blame
- 1:00:24anybody for that. I don't think people get a good
- 1:00:27explanation for much, you know, and I think back then
- 1:00:32people were more trusting of their governments. But that particular incident,
- 1:00:37I mean, how vague they were with everything they said,
- 1:00:40and they released just about no information, and I don't,
- 1:00:46you know, I'd have to dig really deep to try
- 1:00:48to find out any information between what the information that
- 1:00:51the families got from them. I don't know much on
- 1:00:57that level, but I would say that.
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: You and you don't think that our government. It's been
- 1:01:05documented that the Nazis were working on like type UFO
- 1:01:13type crafts and that they were okay, So there's nothing
- 1:01:18in your mind that thinks maybe the Russian government had
- 1:01:21some back engineered bullshit, some kind of a spacecraft and
- 1:01:26they were testing weapons out in the middle of nowhere,
- 1:01:28and they were like, oh my god, look look what happened.
- 1:01:33Lucky for us, we can test these direct energy weapons
- 1:01:36out on these people.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know why you would do
- 1:01:42it on those specific people who.
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: Were they knew, like the KGB knew that they were
- 1:01:51going out there, like, hey, just want to let you know,
- 1:01:53I'm going hiking with my buddies next weekend.
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: No, I think they did actually know. I mean the
- 1:01:58last person, let me see who the left.
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: I think his name was Alexander, the older one, right,
- 1:02:07the thirty seven year old.
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: Yeah, he was the last Alexander. Yeah. So I mean
- 1:02:13I don't know. I mean, you're you're bringing up things
- 1:02:16that are out of my realm of of understanding, Like like.
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: I'm just posing the question to you if he if
- 1:02:25they the KGB knew he was going out of town
- 1:02:28to do this hike, and they were he was like
- 1:02:30one of the ones. They were like we really, uh,
- 1:02:35we got to get rid of this guy. You know,
- 1:02:38we got to get rid of this guy. We've got
- 1:02:39some stuff we need to test out. Anyways, let's go
- 1:02:43and the rest of them were just like collateral damage.
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: If there is, you know, when it comes to things
- 1:02:51like that. And I know that there's always been cover
- 1:02:55ups and and but I have this rule of thumb
- 1:03:01that anytime more than like two or three people know something,
- 1:03:05I almost think a village knows. So when information doesn't
- 1:03:09leak out, it bothers me. So if you have, like
- 1:03:14you know, that's some of my problems with with certain
- 1:03:19conspiracy theories is that if five people knew this thing,
- 1:03:23hundreds know it, then thousands know and then basically everybody
- 1:03:28knows it because people can't keep their mouths shut, you know,
- 1:03:31so the truth would eventually get out, you know.
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: And I think, Okay, I see where you're going.
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: Yeah, if that happened to somebody, I think something would
- 1:03:46have leaked out by now, somebody would have had some
- 1:03:49kind of inkling about it, like we'd know something. There'd
- 1:03:53be that. So that's my feeling about that. I mean,
- 1:03:57I can't fully debunk it. It's just a feeling.
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: If we take aside the gray haired lady with the
- 1:04:04skeleton face, your theory fits perfectly.
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: Okay, I agree, I do like theory, but it's not
- 1:04:12my theory. It's just one of theories and the one
- 1:04:14I subscribed to because it made so much sense to me,
- 1:04:18and it did do it. Yeah, it makes likelining some
- 1:04:22of the weirder stuff.
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: The tongue in the eyes was the animal, Yeah, swapping
- 1:04:28of clothes. Yeah, the snow falling on them, that was
- 1:04:32like tons and tons and tons and tons crushed them.
- 1:04:37Some of them were trying to get back to the
- 1:04:38forest to seek refuge. Some of them were found in
- 1:04:42the forest by the.
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: Way, Okay, Yeah, probably trying to get.
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: By the time they got there, they were already fucked off.
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: Like they were gone. They were gone. Yeah, And you've
- 1:04:55got to think that a certain level of panic does
- 1:04:58ensue when you're that cold.
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: Oh.
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: Absolutely, That's definitely something I would be thinking about. I mean,
- 1:05:08when I go outside to shovel a driveway and at
- 1:05:10zero degrees, I'm like, fuck this shit, and I'm fully
- 1:05:14bundled up, I've got like gloves, hat, the whole nines
- 1:05:20and I'm still cold. It's hard to move. It's like
- 1:05:23the whole world seems different when it's that cold. It's
- 1:05:27just a different world. Your breath seems to freeze. I mean,
- 1:05:33if any any exposed skin at that temperature, and I
- 1:05:37don't know if that's including wind chill. I mean, if
- 1:05:39the wind's howling like that and it's that cold. Geez man.
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: I don't know, because it did say that they had
- 1:05:47to take shelter because it was the weather was so bad. Whoa,
- 1:05:54that's why they set up their tent right there? Call
- 1:05:58it at night? Because yeah, have they made a movie
- 1:06:03about this yet?
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: Oh? I don't know. It's a good question. I don't
- 1:06:10think so.
- 1:06:11Speaker 2: It'd be a hell of a movie.
- 1:06:14Speaker 1: Somebody probably has. There's one that says yachtlif Pass movie
- 1:06:19on Netflix from twenty twenty one. Oh, maybe that's a documentary.
- 1:06:24Let me see. There's another one called Devil's Pass doatlif
- 1:06:28Pass movie from twenty thirteen. So it's called Devil's Pass.
- 1:06:37I don't know, you know, and it's Russian.
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: Oh that would make sense. Yeah.
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: Yeah. They say it's a horror movie too.
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: Well, it's horrible what happened.
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: Forty eight percent on Rotten Tomatoes. That might mean it's good.
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: I think it would be a hell of a movie,
- 1:06:58and I would love to see what whoever directed it,
- 1:07:02what they claim happens to the people like what they.
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: Rennie Harland directed at twentieth Century Studios Anchor Bay Entertainment.
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: I bet he says the alien popped up in the tent.
- 1:07:20I know you think that's hilarious, But I think UFOs
- 1:07:23and aliens are real.
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: If you ask me my opinion on that, I do too,
- 1:07:33But I don't know to the level of like Hollywood style.
- 1:07:38I mean, I definitely, I think anybody who doesn't believe
- 1:07:42in this universe there's other living beings like we didn't
- 1:07:47really know until recently, we couldn't confirm that there were
- 1:07:50other planets outside our solar system like we did and
- 1:07:54never known about. Now you see them everywhere, and there's
- 1:07:59actually a belief or not a belief they think they've
- 1:08:02scientifically proven. And this was very interesting to me that
- 1:08:06they think they've scientifically proven that there are more planets
- 1:08:12out there right now and all within all the universe.
- 1:08:16Then there are seconds that have existed since the universe began.
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: How the fuck did they come to that conclusion.
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: So if you think about how many seconds there's been
- 1:08:29since the fourteen billion years in the existence of this
- 1:08:34since the Big Bang or whatever they think it is,
- 1:08:39there's that many more planets. If you're thinking this is
- 1:08:43the only one with life on it, your bravery, even
- 1:08:49if it was on half a percent or a quarter
- 1:08:52of a percent, we're looking at life on thousands and
- 1:08:57millions of worlds. So and that's not just life, I
- 1:09:02would have to say in our even if a quarter
- 1:09:04of percent of those were intelligent or what we would
- 1:09:07consider intelligent life, there's thousands upon millions of those.
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: I've heard so many theories, Brian, and like, some of
- 1:09:16them are like it would be just like on Earth.
- 1:09:19Some of them are evil, some of them have not
- 1:09:22the best intentions towards us. Some of them are totally benevolent.
- 1:09:25They're just passing through. And you know, I do sometimes
- 1:09:32think maybe the negative ones. People have had negative experiences.
- 1:09:38Some people have had positive experiences. If you watch fire
- 1:09:41in the sky, you would know what I'm talking about.
- 1:09:44Not everybody has just like oh it was great, and
- 1:09:47like sometimes it's not a positive experience.
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: Yeah, And with firing the sky, I think the one
- 1:09:53thing that's always interested me about that story, and you
- 1:09:57do believe it, will say this, this is what I
- 1:10:01will say to that. I know that the people that
- 1:10:08experience that, I know that they believe it. I know
- 1:10:13that they believe that is real. I think I don't
- 1:10:18think they're lying. I do not think that they're coming
- 1:10:20out and saying you know, when you watch the interviews,
- 1:10:23when you you can just tell when when the way
- 1:10:27people present themselves sometimes are they are they out seeking attention?
- 1:10:32Like they straight up when they talk about that, you
- 1:10:34can almost sense the trauma. Yeah, Like you can sense
- 1:10:42that how traumatic that was for them. So I know
- 1:10:48that he believes that definitely happened to him. It's a
- 1:10:53very convincing case to me.
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: And it would be like, oh, they're making it up
- 1:11:00for what they were like cutting trees in the middle
- 1:11:04of the you know what I mean, Like for what
- 1:11:06are they making this up? You know, they were like
- 1:11:09manly men, like.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: Some people make up stories for attention. But you know,
- 1:11:13like and I know that our guts lie to us
- 1:11:16sometimes and we're not always the best and in character,
- 1:11:21and there's and others that they want to believe these
- 1:11:24things so bad that they'll just believe anything. But you know,
- 1:11:28with that particular case, like it is very convincing. I
- 1:11:33will say that that is one of the most convincing. Ah,
- 1:11:37I guess you would call that an abduction star The
- 1:11:41fourth kind and a true story. You know, I definitely
- 1:11:48believe that they are telling the truth. Let's put it
- 1:11:54that way, that they believe it happened to them and
- 1:11:58what it is such a crazy story. I remember watching
- 1:12:02that movie too, just being like in awe that when
- 1:12:05it came out.
- 1:12:08Speaker 2: And it's freaky too because it's like this diachtlave past thing.
- 1:12:12It's like everybody has an opinion on it and everybody's.
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: M it's a cool story.
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. Wait are you talking about Travis Walton?
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: Are you talking both? I'm talking both. They are both
- 1:12:28really cool stories. I mean, they're right up there. Those
- 1:12:31are the types of stories that capture our imagination.
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: You know, it goes against other things that you've learned.
- 1:12:42And I'll say that in recent times, we are seeing
- 1:12:45more and more like footage from our own government where
- 1:12:53they're seeing crafts that they can't explain. And when you
- 1:12:56talk to most pilots, they've run into crafts that they
- 1:12:58can't really explain. Does that make them alien? I can't
- 1:13:03confirm or deny that, you know, like it's that's too
- 1:13:05hard to say. Could it be experimental aircraft? Could it
- 1:13:09be you know, aircraft? Nobody is supposed to know about.
- 1:13:12So nobody's gonna say, oh, yeah, we were flying one
- 1:13:16of these new space aged craft that we've been working
- 1:13:18on that we don't want anybody else to know about. Like,
- 1:13:22nobody's gonna come out and say that, but they're definitely
- 1:13:26seeing things up there. I believe these people.
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: How do you do you believe in the Bermuda Triangle?
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: Man? There are some really cool stories that come out
- 1:13:38of that, and there's other there's other triangles like that
- 1:13:42that aren't just the Bermuda Triangle. There's other places and
- 1:13:45I can't think of them off the top of my
- 1:13:47head that this stuff happens even more often than yeah,
- 1:13:51in a triangle. But my belief in it doesn't make
- 1:13:54it true or not true. But it is very fucking interesting.
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: We can speculate based on the activity that goes on
- 1:14:01at these locations that there's something going on, even if
- 1:14:05we don't know what what it is. So the reason
- 1:14:09I ask you that is because I came across yet
- 1:14:14another conspiracy theory about the Diatlav Pass, which was there
- 1:14:22are just random portals in weird locations like this Bermuda Triangle.
- 1:14:30This do not go there Mountain, the Fuji Mountain.
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: In Japan, like they're this ominous place that just holds
- 1:14:41the reason why it has this this power, or that
- 1:14:46people believe it's had this power for so long.
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: It's because they're portals, they're gateways.
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: They can feel it, they can feel you know. I
- 1:14:55had heard a story about the Bermuda Triangle that was
- 1:14:58very interesting to me about a pilot and I do
- 1:15:04believe this might have been around World War two times
- 1:15:07or maybe not. But he started flying and he flew
- 1:15:09into this electric storm. Now he knew how much fuel
- 1:15:15he had. Obviously he's a pilot. He needed to know
- 1:15:18how much fuel he had. He knew how long that
- 1:15:21trip was going to take him. It was from somewhere
- 1:15:23I think, you know, like one of those normal trips.
- 1:15:27He would be taken from the Caribbean, maybe through to
- 1:15:30Miami or that area. And as he was flying, he
- 1:15:37flies into this storm and it was like this dark
- 1:15:40storm cloud that just completely gave him the creeps. And
- 1:15:42he was in touch with air traffic control somewhere in
- 1:15:47the Caribbean when he was about to fly into it,
- 1:15:51and he was terrified of this thing. And he's like,
- 1:15:53as I'm flying through it, like I almost came into
- 1:15:55what was an eye of the storm type thing and
- 1:15:58knew I had to fly even further. And he's like,
- 1:16:01my instruments are all going crazy. I can't pick direction,
- 1:16:06I can't see where the sun is. I'm like, I'm
- 1:16:09basically flying blind, you know, And I'm going into this storm.
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: And he comes back out the storm cloud and he's
- 1:16:18like almost right above Miami, but he's there two hours
- 1:16:21earlier than he's supposed to be, and he hasn't lost
- 1:16:24the fuel.
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: He should have lost that. And he's sitting there thinking
- 1:16:31exactly what you're talking about, not like he thought he
- 1:16:35was in a time portal. But he's like, this should
- 1:16:37not This is impossible. What's just happened to me is impossible. Either.
- 1:16:43My gauges right now are completely wrong. I don't have
- 1:16:45as much fuel as this is telling me, and my
- 1:16:49you know, clock on here is wrong. But once he
- 1:16:54was in touch with air traffic control, they're telling him
- 1:16:56the same thing, not about his fuel but the time
- 1:16:59it was, and he's asking to go and land and
- 1:17:03I'm like, that's.
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: Really and that is what I'm talking about.
- 1:17:08Speaker 1: And he's like, I can't tell you how many pilots
- 1:17:11would have probably flown into something like that and never
- 1:17:14been able to make it out and just crash. What
- 1:17:17you hear about all the time in that area where
- 1:17:20you know, this plane's never been found, and then sometimes
- 1:17:24they do end up finding some of these planes ears
- 1:17:27and years later with people that go and find wrecks
- 1:17:32so super interesting.
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: There's been whole passenger flights disappear in there. So that's
- 1:17:39why when I ask you that, I'm literally being sincere
- 1:17:43when I say I think that there are portals like
- 1:17:46this and we just have no idea about them. Yeah,
- 1:17:50if the government knows about them, they're not telling us.
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: You know. The only thing the government's like a two
- 1:18:01and sword to me. You know, you think about some
- 1:18:04elements of the government, you're like these they can't do
- 1:18:08anything right. They're completely an apt, you know, like they
- 1:18:12can't get the census right, they can't figure anything out,
- 1:18:15they can't police things right. It's basically, if you want
- 1:18:18something to run poorly, just put the government in charge.
- 1:18:21You know. So when I hear certain things about like, hey,
- 1:18:25maybe the government knows this, man, I doubt it. I
- 1:18:28don't think they're merely as smart as they want. People
- 1:18:30to believe they are.
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: But ooh, you know what that makes me think of.
- 1:18:38It makes me think of men in black because you know,
- 1:18:41in that movie, Will Smith goes, so, what branch of
- 1:18:44the government do we report to? And he goes, we don't.
- 1:18:49They don't need to know about this. We work for
- 1:18:51ourselves and we don't report to anyone. They ask too
- 1:18:56many questions. And it's like, what if there's some type
- 1:19:00of like it's not even the government, but somebody out
- 1:19:04there is like in control of like, Okay, we know
- 1:19:08where all these hot spots are, we know where the
- 1:19:10portals are in the gateways like skin walk or ranch
- 1:19:14places like this. There's serious fucking shit going on here,
- 1:19:19and it's like who has the answers?
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: Somebody?
- 1:19:23Speaker 2: Anybody? Does anyone know what the fuck is going on here?
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: I don't, I know, I know they don't.
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: No, Yeah, I'm slowly finding that out. Like everybody's just
- 1:19:35kind of like going through life with like a blindfold on,
- 1:19:38you know, just feeling their way through.
- 1:19:40Speaker 1: It's that idea. It kind of reminds me of the
- 1:19:42idea of and I think we all went through this
- 1:19:44as children. I know I did. When I was a child.
- 1:19:48I used to look up at adults and be like, man,
- 1:19:51they got it all figured out. And you kind of
- 1:19:55have this assumption as you get older that, like things,
- 1:19:59you're just going to figure things out. And you do
- 1:20:02gain wisdom and you do gain knowledge, but the reality
- 1:20:05is you don't know nearly as much as you thought
- 1:20:07you were going to know. You don't You can't do
- 1:20:10as much as you thought you were going to be
- 1:20:12able to do. You have to spend every waking moment
- 1:20:16trying to, you know, become an expert on anything. And
- 1:20:18you realize quickly you can't be an expert in everything,
- 1:20:21and you got to pick your battles and pick what
- 1:20:23you want. And I think sometimes people attribute the government similarly,
- 1:20:29like they know everything, they're in the know, they know this. No,
- 1:20:33they don't know shit. They don't know shit they want
- 1:20:38Look at I mean, just look at the last couple
- 1:20:40of presidents we've had. I'll just say that we these people,
- 1:20:46they're not like the smartest people you've ever come across
- 1:20:51in the know. I'm not going to go to Joe
- 1:20:53Biden and be like, tell me about the aliens, tell
- 1:20:55me about what's going on over there. I wouldn't Biden
- 1:21:00to change my fucking oil in my car. I wouldn't.
- 1:21:06I wouldn't trust him to give me directions to get
- 1:21:09up the street. Hey, which one's my house? I don't know.
- 1:21:12I'm standing in front of her.
- 1:21:19Speaker 2: That makes me want to ask you one question. Yeah,
- 1:21:25did you hear this story that Joe Biden walked right
- 1:21:30in front of the Duchess of Cornwall Camillion?
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: No? I didn't. Whatever this is I did.
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: His leg up and just ripped ass right in front
- 1:21:41of her. Yeah, couldn't stop talking about it for days. Oil,
- 1:21:52you know, and then Joe Biden just walks right up
- 1:21:55to her, looks are dead in the eye and just
- 1:21:57rips ass in front of her. He did this in
- 1:22:03front of the Pope too. He was like, Hi, Pope,
- 1:22:07nice to meet you. I'm Joe Biden.
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: Somebody puts themoily water on that man.
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I just thought that was the craziest thing I
- 1:22:22had ever heard. Somebody else told me about it. They go.
- 1:22:24He pulled a real power move, if you ask me,
- 1:22:31probably shit his breches.
- 1:22:33Speaker 1: Yeah, nothing surprises me.
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: But Brian, okay, did you wrap up for the night.
- 1:22:41Can you tell the listeners what it is you're doing
- 1:22:44on the Cleveland Schwill podcast. What do you have going
- 1:22:47on inlightness?
- 1:22:49Speaker 1: Okay? And no, I appreciate that, So I I have
- 1:22:53started my own podcast called Cleveland Schwill. And if we
- 1:22:57have a little gimmick on there where we have to
- 1:23:00have a drink while we're doing our talking and you
- 1:23:04kind of tell everybody what is it you're drinking, how
- 1:23:07you would make it, et cetera, et cetera. But I'm
- 1:23:13predominantly I've lived most of my life in Northeast Ohio,
- 1:23:16so I'm trying to promote Northeast Ohio talent. And that
- 1:23:21means like anybody who's in the music industry out here, artists,
- 1:23:28small business owners. I even want to have on detectives
- 1:23:31to talk about like, you know, not like recent crimes,
- 1:23:36but maybe like a retired detective talk about some of
- 1:23:39his cases that he's done over the years. And next
- 1:23:46week I'm actually interviewing somebody for that has made their
- 1:23:52own comic book strip here that they have four different
- 1:23:54comics that they've done. They look it looks absolutely gorgeous.
- 1:23:58He's been doing it for years. He's made movies, he
- 1:24:00does the writing. All of the stuff takes place in Cleveland.
- 1:24:04So Basically, it's a it's a Northeast Ohio podcast, but
- 1:24:08I mean, obviously we invite anybody to come and listen,
- 1:24:11but it's just a kind of document and promote talented
- 1:24:16people that before they go off to somewhere else to
- 1:24:19make it and then have everybody be like, oh, yeah,
- 1:24:21we had them. They're back since day one when we
- 1:24:24did right right and just upcoming events that are happening
- 1:24:29locally and things like that. But there's a ton of
- 1:24:33interesting people here and we're going to try to do
- 1:24:35everything we can to get their stories. And I think
- 1:24:39it could be entertaining to anybody, but predominantly it's people
- 1:24:42that like live in this area or used to live
- 1:24:44in this area and want to know what's going on
- 1:24:46and want to know about like some of the things
- 1:24:48their neighbors are up to.
- 1:24:50Speaker 2: And you know, obviously I'm from there, so it's very
- 1:24:53interesting to me because I like hearing that kind of
- 1:24:56stuff because I grew up there. It's nostalgic, like there's
- 1:24:59a lot of little places and stuff that I went
- 1:25:03to as a kid, and like Geneva on the Lake
- 1:25:06was a biggie and it's a magical place. Actually, what
- 1:25:11I will say, is like beautiful in the fall, like.
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: Absolutely all four seasons, you get all four seasons. Yeah,
- 1:25:20it's really nice. It is. It's a Midwest type of thing.
- 1:25:23But you know, a lot of people grow up here
- 1:25:26and then they move other places, and then they still
- 1:25:29have that nostalgia for back home. That's why they think
- 1:25:32teams like the Cleveland Browns have so many backers bars
- 1:25:35all over the country and even the world. Is people
- 1:25:40are following a team that they grew up with. They
- 1:25:42just live somewhere else now, you know, and that feels
- 1:25:47like home. And sometimes when you listen to somebody from
- 1:25:50your area, it's kind of comforting.
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: It is.
- 1:25:54Speaker 1: It brings that home field. They talk like, you like
- 1:25:59Cleveland with our accents, and they talk about places that
- 1:26:03you've been in restaurants, you've visited, places you loved going
- 1:26:07when you grew up, and but like to just know
- 1:26:10things that are going on there and that there's exciting
- 1:26:12things happening and what's new, and like you can almost
- 1:26:15feel like you're being part of it again.
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: So I think that's an excellent idea because I have
- 1:26:21to tell you, if I come on, I'm talking about
- 1:26:24growing up and going to the grape Jamboree every year.
- 1:26:28Speaker 1: Yeah, which other people have done and love and would
- 1:26:35love to talk about and think about. You know, there's
- 1:26:38so many Instagram pages and other things dedicated just as
- 1:26:43certain decades people grew up in, and all these people
- 1:26:46do they're like adults and there it's like this whole
- 1:26:51thing dedicated to the eighties. And they have like their
- 1:26:53basements and they're putting in VHS tapes that you would
- 1:26:56have watched in the eighties on an eighties television with
- 1:26:59a walk men and they're putting a tape in it
- 1:27:01and people love this shit and the technology is completely outdated,
- 1:27:07but it doesn't matter. Like somebody's holding up a new
- 1:27:10Kids on the Block tape and like all these women
- 1:27:13are like, oh my god, that was my favorite band
- 1:27:15when I was ten years old in the eighties. Like
- 1:27:19they loved that the cassette meant something to them. They
- 1:27:22can remember the time that they were in the basement
- 1:27:24with their eight friends and they put in the tape,
- 1:27:27listen to it all the way through and danced an
- 1:27:29ate pizza Like that shit means things to be because
- 1:27:33it was a simpler time. It was for them and
- 1:27:37not for their parents. It was just as chaotic as
- 1:27:40a christ But for that time, for them, things were
- 1:27:44so simple. The only thing you had to worry about
- 1:27:45was getting your homework done on time and making sure
- 1:27:49you were home by the time the lights went out
- 1:27:51on the street. And you know what note you were
- 1:27:56going to write to your girlfriend and try to get
- 1:27:58passed to her through your friends in you know, like
- 1:28:03that's what people did, and it was just it was
- 1:28:07you couldn't do things so quickly like you can now,
- 1:28:10so it had more meaning. Access to people had more meaning,
- 1:28:14and that meant something to somebody, like if I had
- 1:28:18a problem, like I couldn't just text somebody real quick
- 1:28:22to find out how they're feeling about it, Like that
- 1:28:27devalues that communication because it's so easy to access. When
- 1:28:31you had to sit there and all over for an
- 1:28:34entire weekend. What you were going to say to your
- 1:28:37girlfriend or boyfriend when you saw them on Monday, that
- 1:28:42had a completely different amount of meaning to you. It
- 1:28:44had so much value because you couldn't just access it.
- 1:28:48You couldn't just do it. You had to really think
- 1:28:50about it. You went over all the different scenarios in
- 1:28:53your head and you're like, I might put this in
- 1:28:55my note or I'll just tell her in person, or
- 1:28:57I'll just do this, and now things are just throw
- 1:29:01away to a degree, and it kind of has devalued
- 1:29:04things a little bit. You slipe left or right on
- 1:29:06a human being superficially and you and you don't even
- 1:29:09know them or anything about their personality or traits, and
- 1:29:14it kind of is I think that does have a
- 1:29:16detrimental effect on people, But the nostalgia for me is
- 1:29:20where it's at. And I think communicating I think actually
- 1:29:24bringing these podcasts and people listening to podcasts kind of
- 1:29:27takes you back to a little bit of more of
- 1:29:29a nostalgic time because you're listening to two people talk
- 1:29:32and it's real, it's not edited. Nobody's pushing their well,
- 1:29:36people push narratives, but I mean, and there's commercials, but
- 1:29:40it's not like the whole thing, Like when you watch
- 1:29:43five minutes of a news clip and it's just a
- 1:29:46real clip blurb so they can get to that make
- 1:29:48you buy a Toyota cam ring. At the end, you're
- 1:29:52sitting there like talking about real shit with real people,
- 1:29:56and your listeners are sitting there like, yeah, I fucking
- 1:30:00want to know about this too. They can tell when
- 1:30:02you're being real. People aren't stupid. They know when you're
- 1:30:05being real, and they know when you're full of shit.
- 1:30:07And most people want to listen to somebody who at
- 1:30:10least they know is being real with them. There's something
- 1:30:14inherently almost unique about that quality. Now that's a shame.
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: Right, do you know why, Brian? Because the kids who
- 1:30:25have grown up being able to text everything did not
- 1:30:31have to live through the generation where you had to
- 1:30:35be able to make conversation with another human being and
- 1:30:39like fill in the small like the gaps in between
- 1:30:43and with small talk and like come up with stuff
- 1:30:46to say on your feet, be sociable. Yeah, because I
- 1:30:51was talking to somebody who's like a gen Z or whatever.
- 1:30:54They've texted everything their whole life, and it's like they'll
- 1:30:57be like, I hate having conversations with people, like just
- 1:31:01text me, for God's sake, Like I don't want to
- 1:31:03talk to you on the phone, or I don't want
- 1:31:05to talk to you like at work, I just text
- 1:31:07me or email me or whatever. If you don't come
- 1:31:10to my cubicle and ask me, just send it in
- 1:31:12an email.
- 1:31:13Speaker 1: What they're really saying is that's my insecurity and anywhere
- 1:31:17that I'm insecure. I don't feel comfortable and I don't
- 1:31:20feel like safe. I feel safe between the veil of
- 1:31:26this piece of technology, but I don't feel safe interacting
- 1:31:30with another human being. It's my anxiety. And I think
- 1:31:35that's where you do see a lot of anxiety stemming
- 1:31:37from a lot of people now, is that we've dehumanized
- 1:31:43humans to the point where I hope that we can
- 1:31:48come back from it, and I hope that people do
- 1:31:51learn that what a beautiful blessing it is to talk
- 1:31:55to another human being. You know, this is scientifically proven
- 1:31:59and we're wired this way, biologically wired this way that
- 1:32:05if two people hold hands long enough, their heartbeats start
- 1:32:09to sing. You hold somebody's hand that you love and
- 1:32:15actually can heal you. And this is not bullshit, I'm not.
- 1:32:18This is scientifically proven stuff. Being around people that you
- 1:32:23love and having somebody tell you that they love you,
- 1:32:26and and and you're around them and and the trust
- 1:32:32is there, and they're holding your hand and they care
- 1:32:34for you. It actually really does make people better. And
- 1:32:39I'm not saying it's the cure cure for all, you know,
- 1:32:42but people get better from illnesses faster when they're when
- 1:32:46they have somebody that loves them, that's taking care of them,
- 1:32:48Like we are biologically wired to be around other people,
- 1:32:53not a device. And if people are like I can't
- 1:32:56find love, I don't know anything about love, but they
- 1:32:58look through that. The only way they're comfortable in finding
- 1:33:01love is through an app or their computer. I don't
- 1:33:05think there's anything wrong with that, using that to reach
- 1:33:08out to somebody, even though it's very superficial and mostly
- 1:33:11predominantly based on looks unfortunately. But you have to pair
- 1:33:18that with humanity. You have to pair that with going
- 1:33:20out and seeing somebody's personality and understanding that there's more
- 1:33:25than just the smile and a professional photographer that took
- 1:33:29some pictures of somebody in Calvin Fine underwing, there's more
- 1:33:34to it than that. And when you touch that person
- 1:33:37and you kiss them on their lips and look them
- 1:33:40in their eyes or touch the back of their head,
- 1:33:43that literally releases chemicals and people. It's a whole new experience.
- 1:33:52Speaker 9: Yeah, and that's why I, Yes, I was going to say,
- 1:33:56that's why I feel like these gen Z kids will
- 1:33:59see in a room with you on their.
- 1:34:03Speaker 2: Phone the entire time and be super comfortable, never uttering
- 1:34:09a word out of their mouth to you, because it's like,
- 1:34:12I'm on my phone. Why aren't you on your phone.
- 1:34:15Let's just sit in the same room and be on
- 1:34:16our phones together. But I remember when I was little,
- 1:34:21if my mom had people company come over to the
- 1:34:26house and I wasn't sitting at the table with them
- 1:34:31talking or sitting in the living room with them talking,
- 1:34:37I was in trouble. Yeah, because you have to talk
- 1:34:41to the guests. There are company. They came all the
- 1:34:44way over unannounced to have some coffee and some little
- 1:34:49fucking fiebra cakes or whatever mom has. Just to sit
- 1:34:53and enjoy each other's company.
- 1:34:56Speaker 1: I know.
- 1:34:58Speaker 2: And that, in a way is what podcasts is doing too,
- 1:35:00is like just enjoying another person's company for an hour
- 1:35:05or two.
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: Hopefully it does comfort people now, let them know that
- 1:35:09they're not alone. There's other people that are like you
- 1:35:12out there that do want to talk to other human beings,
- 1:35:15and sometimes it might be harder to find them when
- 1:35:18you're in the hustle and bustle of your everyday, repetitive life.
- 1:35:23But when you break away, you know, sometimes I say,
- 1:35:26it's not that bad to just go say hi to people.
- 1:35:29I do it all the time everywhere I go. Can
- 1:35:31I talk to people I do. You wouldn't believe how
- 1:35:35happy most people are to just have you say hello
- 1:35:39to them and give five seconds of your time to
- 1:35:42give a shit. It's a whole new world out there.
- 1:35:46When you do that for people, they're unbelievably grateful.
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: One of the greatest gifts you can give someone is
- 1:35:52your time.
- 1:35:53Speaker 1: Absolutely, that's a great way to put it. It's true.
- 1:35:57Speaker 2: And on that note, if someone wants to spend some
- 1:36:01time with you, Brian, how can they contact you?
