Speaker 1 (00:00):
From UFOs two, Ghosts and government cover ups. History is
riddled with unexplained events. You can turn back now or
learn the stuff they don't want you to now. Hello,
welcome back to the podcast. My name is Matt and
I'm Ben, and today we are reaching back out to
you guys. We're gonna respond to your emails, your messages

(00:23):
because we got a little time on our hands, y'all. Well, uh,
that might not be entirely the case, as we made time.
I like that much better. We may time along with
as always super producer Noel uh the man Brown, or
we should give him a different nickname today. Yeah, Juicy
Jams is what I came up with earlier, Nold Juicy

(00:44):
Jams Brown. We're not going to tell you how that
nickname occurred because this is a family show, but this
is one of our favorite types of episodes. Ladies and gentlemen.
We received so many Facebook messages. We get a lot
of tweets. We also get a lot of email, and
although we can't respond to all of it in a
timely matter, we do read it with uh. We I

(01:09):
wouldn't say religiously, but we spent a lot of time
paying attention to it. Because our best ideas come from you.
And so today we wanted to do something that we've
done a couple of times in the past, and uh,
just bring some of these messages on the air so
that other listeners can can check them out as well.
And we've got some very serious stuff. We've got a

(01:31):
couple of funny ones that I think are jokes. Yeah,
some of them I can't tell. So we're just going
to read them in all seriousness and we shall decipher
the meaning afterwards, and we want to hear what you
think about each of these. We also have, uh we
also have, of course, some new conspiracies that you may

(01:52):
have not been aware of. And if you were on
our Facebook or Twitter, where we're conspiracy stuff at both,
then you already know this episode was coming the cause,
uh we posted a weird Illuminati looking picture of Donald
Duck and asked you for suggestions and we got some, right, Yeah,
So let's just let's let's get to those at the end. Okay,

(02:13):
you want to get to those, al right, So what
do you have? Well, I'm gonna start off with one
from Sina and this one is awesome. This is one
of the ones that I'm trying to read whether or
not it's serious. So let's get started, all right. Just
saw your video on Tesla. It is very well made.
There's another issue that concerns me, though you may not

(02:34):
think it's as important. It is the toilet paper conspiracy.
I believe that it is solely due to the efforts
of the manufacturers of toilet paper that Americans know nothing
about alternatives that allow you to stop using it. I
believe they have such a strong monopoly over the market
from getting people to wipe their butts with money, that
they will never make things such as bidats go mainstream

(02:55):
in America, especially when most of the world population uses
water for us in one way or another. What are
your thoughts been? You know, that's an interesting thing, Matt,
because I think this is funny. It's got me cracking
up because it's reminding me of Demolition Man, which I'm
sure ladies and gentlemen a lot of you were thinking
of too. Of course, I'm referring to the uh world

(03:17):
famous cinematic masterpiece, which is the three cshells scene. Right, Yeah,
what do you do with the three shells? I don't know,
but but the the point here is is pretty good.
When you think about the massive amount of toilet paper
just literally going down the drain. Uh. Yeah, and the

(03:42):
you know, it can't not have an environmental impact. Uh.
But I don't know if there is an active uh
and active plot of foot to restrict the days in
the United States, because you'll find them at some high
class international hotels, people install them in their homes. They

(04:04):
are though they are much less common in this part
of the world. So the question would be, then, is
that because of a um prevalent attitude on the palf
of the American public, or is it because a lot
of us can't affordabid day? Right? Right? But yeah, man,
if you think about all the money you've spent on
toilet paper, oh, you could absolutely affordable day. You know.

(04:27):
I think for a lot of people who grew up,
uh the American way, I'll say, then, Uh, the day
seems like it seems like a little bit of a
risky business. Can I go full disclosure? Go full disclosure?
Never used one? Oh, okay, that's only because I've never
been in a bathroom that had one as Yeah, you know,

(04:51):
it's it's strange how many things can appear normal just
because they're what you've always been surrounded by You know,
there're so many places in the world where squat toilets
are the normal thing. Uh much, and that's much more
common overall than the common Westerners are used to. Yeah,

(05:12):
the thrones. But is there a conspiracy foot I wonder
because not. The more I think about this, the more
I'm thinking that it's possible that someone said, no, we're
not going to have the days come in or water
because we want to sell toilet paper years and years ago,

(05:32):
and now it's just the it's just them, just the
prevalent attitude. Yeah. By the way, you know, the Koch
brothers have their hand in toilet paper business, have their
hand in it, yeah or whatever that they have a
steak in the toilet paper business right right in the
crack of it, as well as the paper towel business. Yes,

(05:54):
it's true. The uh Coke Empire doesn't just does just
control a lot of the things that you would see
around your house, would be like Georgia Pacific and the
various other name brands that they own, including of course
toilet paper and other paper products. Uh. They also have
a political machine that is able to go toe to

(06:16):
toe with the established Democrat and Republican parties here in
the United States. Fascinating stuff. And by the way, ko
h not c ok right, that needs to be said.
Speaking of amazing segues, here is an email from UH.
Here's an email from Madison Are who writes in to
ask us about Heaven's Gate money laundering. Do you remember

(06:40):
this one? I remember this one? So Madison said, Hey,
so I was emailing Heaven's Gate because I'm totally fascinating
with them and other crazy cults. I inquired about them
sending me their recruitment tapes. But then it got kind
of weird, and what what Madison found was that they
had started communicating with her UM or someone in Phoenix, Arizona,

(07:04):
purporting to be Heaven's Gate had been UH asking her
money and saying, give us the money when the when
it hits the account, we will send you these tapes. Yeah,
it sounds it sounds kind of fishy, and we just
wanted to put out there as a public service announcement

(07:25):
that you can right to UH to a sect, I
guess there was. Nobody really wants to be called a cult.
It's a loaded word. You can write to sect and
ask them for recruitment materials. I have done so in
the past, just to read more of the literature. Yep. Uh,
you want to get any more specific? Sure new Ambians. Uh,

(07:50):
the because we were talking about those earlier. And uh,
what is the one that it was like a farm
colony Okay, oh, Zendic Farms, which I think I've mentioned before. Yeah,
just because it was um in the in the area.
But you can also, you know, like any other religious organization,

(08:12):
usually you can write to them and for a small
fee if not free, they will send you material. You
may get on a watch list, depending on what you
are asking of from whom. Yeah, either from the sex
or from your local or federal government. Right. Yeah, just
be just be careful. You know, the the mail is

(08:34):
very easily tracked, and that at least in our country.
And so if you are directly addressing group that has
I don't know, like racial supremacy ideologies or or militant separatism,
just just know that other people are going to notice
that you're doing that, even if they're vegans. Sometimes even

(08:56):
if they're vegans, found some things that are being tracked. Yeah,
vegans are being tracked. No, lie, that is not a theory.
That is a true story, but I guess when you
have a big budget, you have to you know, you
have to spend it otherwise it gets cut and here alright,
so what's next, Matt. We got one from Lee I
really like this response. It was about our our prescription

(09:19):
drugs podcast. It was a response that she says, I
really enjoy your podcasts and videos, and I just want
to let you know something about the endless list of
side effects that are required to be disclosed with prescription drugs.
The side effects aren't necessarily ones the medication causes. Anything
that comes up and is reported by a patient during
the drug trials is required to be listed as a

(09:40):
potential side effect. That's why you see common cold or flu,
upset stomach listed so frequently as a side effect. It
usually just means that somebody happened to get sick during
the trial. Sometimes it's caused by the medication in question,
like it has um immunosuppressant qualities, But most of the
time it's just poor timing. So it's always a good

(10:02):
idea to take that huge list with some of a
grain of salt and take care to track how you
respond specifically to a medication. If you choose to use one.
So a couple of things here. First, I think that's
a great point about the side effects. It's true some
of the things are just required by law to be
put in there if someone experienced it while they were

(10:23):
taking the medication during the trial. Um So, Lee, thank
you for pointing that out. I don't know if we
really even mentioned that when we were doing our podcast.
We you know, we have some sponsors that require a
lot of fine print. Yeah, there's one in particular, right,
but what you know that's that could be a liability thing.

(10:44):
And Lee, I think that's a great point that you make,
because we do need to keep in mind that just
because these things are mentioned as side effects doesn't mean
that everybody gets them. Uh And and and and you know,
for most of our international listeners, it's already really weird
to think that a drug commercial would come on television. Yeah,

(11:08):
because it's it's very vague, and it rarely talks about
what it's actually supposed to do exactly and all the
potential things that it does. Uh so. Yeah, and then
the second thing track how you respond to medication. I
think that's a great advice if you make little lists
of side effects that maybe you encounter when you're taking

(11:29):
certain medications, especially if you're taking multiple medications at the
same time. That's that's when it can get a little scary.
You don't know exactly what's causing what. So thank you
Lee for writing in. Let's move on, Ben, What do
you get all right? Yeah, I also want to say
thank you there for that email. Lee. We're moving on
to an email and very excited about Andy w you

(11:50):
wrote to us regarding the episode. Are there real devil worshippers?
I'm just gonna read this whole thing. Oh is this Yes? Hey, guys,
I'm a pretty recent listener and this one piqued my
interest as one I can help you with. I'm not
sure how much of the research he did for this
show that led you to metal music, but being a
metal musician, I can help most specifically the genre of

(12:13):
black metal, which is the type of music I play. Uh,
though no Saint worship occurs in my band, He goes
on to mention. Uh. He also says the genre has
a lot of satanic references, from church burnings in Norway
and black metal inner Circle to the murder of Uronymous
and more. Uh. The main reason I want to email
was a group called the Misanthropic Luciferian Order or m

(12:36):
l O. A few Swedish black metal bands are part
of this order, most notably the band uh Vat or
Watan and its thematic predecessor, Dissection Dissections. Vocalist John uh
Notivate actually killed himself after releasing the band's album Rain
Chaos as apparently he felt his part on Earth was accomplished.

(12:56):
And he's paraphrasing, and he has a link where you
can see the entire your story of Dissection suicide, and
he says the MLO believe in chaos gnostic Satanism. He
also has a a great UH link here to uh
the Temple of the Black Light. I've also attached a
copy of The Liberal as a libra as a rate

(13:18):
for you to look at, as well as an interview
with a member. And also thanks to your do Intelligence
Agencies Run Cults episode. My explanation for anything I do
now will be national security. Thanks for the excellent podcast
by Andy A k A. Volts of x talf Uh.
Andy No, by all means thank you, man, because we

(13:39):
went down the rabbit hole on this one. And Matt
he's specifically referring to a a couple of a couple
of episodes we've done right with Um, we did five
things you don't know about Satan? Are there real devil worshippers? Uh?
And we were surprised that we we did find uh

(14:00):
some genuine, some genuine cases of of this stuff. And
um yeah, the black metal scene in particular. Not being
a metal musician myself, I have not you know, I'm
I'm not playing this stuff or anything like that. But
the stories themselves are fascinating. And one of the I

(14:20):
think the basis of uh dissection actually left the band
because they were so serious about this uh, this type
of magic that they were attempting to practice that this
guy left the band to devote himself full time to
esoteric study. Yeah. So uh, this would be this would

(14:41):
be a case of people who do perceive themselves as
real devil worshipers, although there are multiple like uh, I
guess um facets or incarnations are different, different entities that
are propitiated and worshiped there. Uh what I would love
to hear more about this. There are still some things

(15:06):
they don't want you to know about the black metal
scene in Scandinavia, oh sure, and maybe in other parts
of the world as well. I'm fascinated by it because
as a drummer myself, I've never well, to my knowledge,
I've never been associated with any Satan worship, gnostic or agnostic,
and uh, I'm fascinated. I want to learn more. So

(15:28):
if you have other stories, anybody out there has stories
like that, I want to hear. Please, we both want
to hear those. If you have an inside look at
the uh, the events surrounding the band hell Hammer, that's
anymous was a member of that band, I believe, then
we'd like to hear that too. I've got another one, okay,

(15:49):
if we if that's cool, just a short one. Uh, Mike,
m you wrote to us and said, gentlemen, longtime listener,
first time contributor. I've been interested in Operation High Jump
for many years now. For some reason, I don't think
the official story is the truth. If you haven't already,
I believe this would make an exceptional topic. Thank you
for consideration. Keep up the good work, quality podcast. Well

(16:10):
that's nice, Mike, that's thank you. Mike. You're a good person.
Thank you. So just respond, let's catch everybody up. If
you have not heard about Operation High Jump, this was
a United States Naval operation. Uh. That was from I
guess mid forties forty seven. Uh, this was where Rear

(16:31):
Admiral Bird uh lad the Navy into Antarctica. Yeah. We
talked about this on our Hollow Earth episode. I believe
deep cut there. Yes, I can't think if we've discussed
it in more detail or not. We haven't, and that
would be a really great episode for the audio podcast
because we could go into, um, some further detail. It

(16:54):
is true that the Access parties, at least the Nazis
national Socialists, were aiming to colonized or claimed territory in
Tantarctica that would be known as New Schwabia. Yeah right,

(17:15):
spoiler alert that didn't work out. Yeah, nobody has a
New Swabia yet. But Uh, but the idea that there
might be something hidden about these events is interesting because, Uh,
typically the conspiracies that we've heard alleged that there was
a secret war of sorts fought between uh, the US

(17:39):
powers and the Access powers, primarily Germany. Uh, there in
the Antarctic wasteland. And what was that little more thought over?
Was it an entrance to the center of the Earth.
Been right, that's one of the that's one of the ideas. Yeah,
that's the one we looked at actually when we were
first starting this show. Excuse me, not to the center

(18:00):
of the Earth, to the other side of the crust.
I guess, oh yeah, there's or to at least some
extensive cavern cavern system. Right. Uh so, you know, Mike,
thank you for that idea. I think we will have
this in an audio podcast hopefully. What's next, man, Next,
we're moving on to Torres. Torres says, hey, man, Benn,

(18:22):
I got a few ideas for episodes. I love your show,
been a fan for a couple of years now. One
of them is cern. Torres wants to talk about how
Certain has their own currency laws and it's like they
have their own sovereign government. Now I have not heard this.
It's the first time I've ever heard of that. Um,

(18:42):
you know, I we've done quite a bit of research
on the LHC, the Large Hanger Collider um. Uh. Torres
wants us to look in to Shiva stargates as well.
So okay, well I'm interested there, Torres. Okay, well we'll
go with you there. We'll see if there's something Certain
is a massive complex. But I wasn't aware that they
would have their own currency. Another interesting thing relating to

(19:03):
this would be the abandoned collider system out there in Texas. Yeah, okay,
I like, what is it being used for? Is it
being used at all? I mean? Yeah? Is there like
some guy named homeless Mike who just lives in this
weird underground science mansion. Well almost, Mike, if you exist,
We're going to find you and hopefully get you on
the podcast. Uh. The the other thing Torres says, see,

(19:25):
I'm just gonna read it says if you were going
to mention corrupt or blood diamonds in an episode, you
should absolutely and must look into coltan. There's actually a
documentary on it called Blood Coltan? Am I saying that correctly?
CEO L T A N. I believe it's one of
the minerals that goes into Yes, I'm just gonna keep going. Uh,

(19:46):
it goes into the vast majority of wireless devices in
the world today. You need coltan in order for those
devices to function. Coltan is a dense, dark substance found
in Africa. You can see where I'm going with this, hopefully.
Did someone say Congolese mine child labor? You know? What Torres,
thank you very much for bringing up this point. I
believe we may have touched on it in a line

(20:07):
or two in our recent stuff, uh in our audio
our last audio podcast when Lauren was hanging out with us.
The the thing about conflict diamonds or blood diamonds is
that they are one one example of a much larger
practice that occurs throughout the world now, especially in global economy,

(20:29):
which is a resource extraction. And we've talked about this,
right you and I like, why are some of the
world's most resource rich countries also some of the world's
host countries, right, why do they have these um? Why
do they have international assistance and then come out billions

(20:50):
of dollars in debt from that assistance? Right? Uh? So,
So this this idea of conflict resources stretches far beyond diamonds.
The other minerals that you might have heard of, like uh,
Colton is short for columbite tantalite uh. And as as
Torres points out, this is a common uh, it's a

(21:13):
common component in electronics. Mongolia has some reserves of rare
earth rare earth metals, and because there is a finite supply,
there is a possibility that ultimately this would be the
cause of conflict of some sort. Many wars throughout history

(21:36):
ultimately are about resources, no matter what the uh, the leader,
whether secular or religious, is telling the population. Uh, it's
you know, it's it's far more likely that we would
go to war over resource than over an idea. Oh yeah,
I can't. I cannot wait for those water wars in
seventeen Do you think that's when when it will happen.

(22:00):
I have no idea. I know it's soon, I have
no idea when it will occur. Though, Well, there were
going to be small scale conflicts before a large war,
and we see, you know, we see those happening now.
I guess the question is what the what the threshold
will be? Right like, the Middle East is a water
scarce area, parts of um, parts of the African continent

(22:23):
are falling to desertification pretty soon. The west of the
United States. If you've been listening to NASA lately, hundreds
of rivers have disappeared in China, and water is one
of the more abundant things we have, so, you know,
it's it's strange. There are a lot of very intelligent

(22:44):
people and think tanks across the world, spending all day
trying to figure out what's going to break first, and
when are we going to run out of these resources
for tourists. Uh, we better start covering that before we
run out of the metals used to make the electronics
that make this show possible. Sorry, that was a rant.

(23:06):
As an excellent point, Ben, I agreed. I've got one
more quick one here, Ben. From Hillary. She says, Hey, guys,
I travel quite often for work, and your show always
makes long drives or flights much easier. That's awesome, Thank
you very much. Hillary. You asked for some suggestions for topics,
and I'd really like more information on the supposed conspiracy
to to prevent a cancer cure or one that already

(23:30):
exists that isn't allowed into the market. That is a
tough topic to go over, but there are a lot
of different things we could cover here. I had a
family member who worked with Dr Brazinski. If you're familiar
with him, he is the gentleman that uses I forget
the term something statins or uh, I forget the term,

(23:56):
but he uses a very different therapy for cancer and
he he says that he has cured cancer. The only
thing is with Dr Prezinski is that you have to
pay quite a bit of money in order to get
the treatment. Um and he's been ostracized. Let's say that
that word, I don't know the correct word. He's looked

(24:16):
down upon by the FDA and a bunch of other
organizations because they think he is a fraud. However, he
has so many people who stand behind him and say, no,
this works. Hey, look it worked for me. It's a
fascinating issue. That's only and that's only one of the
supposed cures for cancer that is being suppressed. One of

(24:37):
the big misconceptions that people have about cancer is that
it's often seen or portrayed as this largely uniform, single thing.
But cancer is more. It's easier to think of cancer
as an umbrella term for several very different things that
require a different kind of solution. Right. Uh. The I

(24:59):
will say though, that the idea of having a cure
all of some sort, something that you could take and
absolutely would fix your problem, whatever that might be, right,
it's it's this is not the first time, and it
won't be the last time that people have noticed the

(25:21):
economic impact of this kind of thing. Why would you
put yourself out of business by curing something when you
could sell a service. We talked about this before a
pill you take every day for the rest of your
life at ten dollars A pill or something, right, uh,
instead of a shot where a pill I guess, or

(25:45):
you're going a shot or surgery that costs a couple
of thousand dollars. If you can sell somebody a pill
or a treatment that they have to do for the
rest of their life, no matter how low it is,
it guarantees that you're going to be in business. Right
and this has led to accusations that law pharmaceutical interest
are only um only trying to manage symptoms rather than

(26:07):
cure diseases. We would like to hear what you think
about this, listeners. Matt, I don't think you and I
have ever done a cancer cure episode. Yeah, we've discussed
cancer a couple of different times, specifically when we talked
about Henrietta Lacks that we've mentioned a couple of times
on here and her cancer cells fascinating HeLa cells. Look
into it or watch our stuff listener podcasts, UM and

(26:30):
just piggybacking. I don't mean to talk so much, Ben,
but just piggybacking on the back of that, I'm going
to paraphrase a message we got from Herman who who
was asking us about Dr c B or s E B. I.
So he's saying, this man his actual name is Alfredo Bowman,

(26:52):
and he goes by Dr c B and allegedly he
is the doctor that has been reversing pathologies such as AIDS, HIV, diabetes, cancers,
and other diseases by using diet and and herbs and yes,

(27:13):
the different herbs. And let's see. Herman's goes on to
say in Dr Cbe was arrested in New York City
for practicing medicine without a license. By the way, this
guy doesn't have any kind of degree. He also apparently
doesn't have any kind of formal education. This gentleman Dr CEB. However,

(27:35):
during his trial the state of New York with him
versus the State of New York. It was scientifically proven
by Dr Cbe how he reversed all of these diseases,
according to Herman, and he brought in seventy seven people
that he cured everything from AIDS to blindness, and he
was acquitted of all charges. Now I haven't looked up

(27:55):
any of this information. I don't know how much of
this is true or false. Herman did give us a
couple of things. He gave us a CBS News broadcast
about dr CB and UM a couple other pieces like documents.
So we're gonna do some research into this. I'm fascinated.
Maybe we can work this somehow into a cancer episode

(28:17):
UM or just diseases in general, or alternative medicine episode
of some sort. Yeah, that's a good idea, and thank
you for the Thank you for the email, Herman. I
have not checked this out before, so I want to
hear from you listeners out there. Let me know if
there is uh, if you think there's some sand to

(28:39):
this dr CB story, and I'll look into it as well,
and who knows, maybe we'll get a whole episode out
of that. I've got some tweets I'm just gonna read
off real quick, alright, So Arvin wrote to us, that's
our that's our long time listener and uh a guy
who at least pretends we're funny on the internet hattrack jokes.
So thank you for that, Arvin. Uh are the rights

(29:01):
And to say, I wonder if someone tied the idea
of phantom time to the New World Order or the illuminati.
And that's that's a really interesting question because the people
who are the people who are proponents of phantom time
are often seen at least one guy is seen as
a Russian nationalist with an agenda to UM, with an

(29:25):
agenda to sort of revise history in regard to Russia
and the Russian Empire. I'm so maybe are into my
knowledge and I can't speak for you, Matt, but to
my knowledge, nobody is directly tied in that that connection. Um.
But it's been a while since I looked at it,

(29:45):
so I'll go check. I I believe that, Um. I
believe that there have been a few people publishing what
they what they claim to be proof of phantom time hypotheses. Uh.
Since we did that show, which is a while ago,
but we're going to get on it, man. Uh. And
we've got another tweet here from Oswald. Oswald says, you

(30:08):
guys should do an episode of when Elvis met Nixon
or when Elvis died. It would be a great topic.
And I am surprised we have never done that just
Elvis in general, Elvis in general, well, I mean, did
he die? I did we not mentioned him in our
Five Celebrities who faked to their death? We did. I

(30:29):
think maybe Elvis faked his death. Yeah. This this is
fascinating though, because Elvis's life just got so weird towards
the end, you know. And he was under the impression
that he was a high level government operative. Uh. And
he wanted to he wanted to report on crime in

(30:51):
Hollywood or in the music industry rather Uh. And I
I don't know. I'd love to see it. Being from Tennessee,
I've I've been to Graceland before I was really young.
I remember being impressed because I don't think I understood
what was going on. I thought, Wow, we're at a
really nice house. Who lives here? Have you seen the

(31:15):
movie Bubba Hotel? Uh? No, I have not. I'm gonna
bring it in for you. It's an old DVD copy
if you have not seen Bubba Hotep. And this is
not an advertisement. I'm just gonna highly recommend it. It's
got Bruce Campbell as an Elvis in I guess he's
an impersonator reincarnation who fights a mummy at a retirement home.

(31:36):
Oh that makes sense. Yeah, Oh it's beautiful. Okay, And uh,
we're gonna get right back to our listener mail after
this quick break. Okay, now jumping back in, let's go
over to Grace and she's kind of talking about something

(31:59):
similar to that Andy W was talking about. She says,
Dear Matt and Ben, I have an idea for the podcast.
Members of the music industry have been selling their souls
to the devil. Then they either incorporate symbolism of the
Illuminati or the outright speak about it. People like Bob
Dylan on sixty Minutes spoke of meeting the evil one
at midnight at the crossroads, and many others like Lady

(32:20):
Gaga and then Kanye West. By the way, his wife
Kim Kardashian weekly gets vampire facials where her own blood
is drawn, then separated. The red cells are then applied,
and an old needling technique pushes the blood into her skin.
I don't know about that. I'll have to research a
little more about that anyway. Tons of recording artists use

(32:41):
Illuminati and satanic symbolism all over their music videos. Thanks
for the consideration, Shalom. That's interesting. I know we've talked
about Illuminati specifically in the music industry before, but we've
we didn't go into Satan and the music industry in particular. Um,
I guess that's going on the what Andy was talking

(33:03):
about with Satan worship in black metal. People seem to
be interested in that. Yeah, it's true. We have talked
about the Illuminati and our buddies over at all time
conspiracies have also done a video on it, but we
haven't particularly done anything about devil worshiping in the music industry. So, uh,

(33:25):
maybe it's a thread that goes through all sorts of genres.
Good idea, grace and uh, thank you for writing to us.
Let's see, let's see what is next. So I've got one. Uh.
So Aaron writes to us and says, Hi, guys, my
name is Aaron. I'm a newer listener, but I have
bene listened to the audio podcast the past few months.
Thank you, Aaron. I just finished the Yellowstone episode just now.

(33:48):
Ben Matt Nolan proud to say the work you guys
do on the week to week has very quickly replaced
binge reading articles on crack dot com, which has been
a staple of my week for quite a long time. Anyways,
topic suggestion, I would love to hear an episode about
the various theories. Uh, surrounding whether or not Paul McCartney
died back when the Beatles were still together and everything

(34:09):
since has been a cover up with a body double
or whatnot. Most probably this is not true. However, I
believe it would be fascinating to look at and also
hear a bit more on any confirmed uses of body
doubles elsewhere. You guys are great, Uh, grace and peace. Aaron, Hey, Aaron,
thank you for those kind words. I want to say,
don't stop reading Cracked dot com. Uh. There, they're some

(34:33):
really smart, intelligent people there. And one of my favorite
articles on the internet was actually a Cracked article, Welcome
to the monkey Sphere by uh Danny Wong. I want
to say, and it's it's uh it's a great article
about um, you know, written in Cracked style, but it's
a great and kind of heartbreaking article about the physiological

(34:58):
cognitive limitations who and beans have and it kind of
explains why we're a bunch of jerks to each other.
Uh yeah, but um this I want to throw to you,
Matt and ask you, uh this Paul McCartney body double stuff. No,
you've got a history with us. Yeah, we we've covered
it a couple of times. We've made that short film

(35:18):
try Out of sorts to be on the Stuff You
Should Know show. You can check it out. I think
what is that one called the long Lost audition tape,
but that's exactly what it's called. So you can find
Ben and I talking about this very thing in a
bathroom at our old office. You can also check out
our CIA Body Doubles episode that kind of looks into

(35:40):
uses of body doubles, and we know that just to
respond and immediately, we know that world leaders do have
body doubles. However, the public information on this in comparison
to the actual practice is pretty scant because, as it
has to be, a secret has to be secure. So

(36:03):
when your body double is out there doing a parade,
you know, you can't know that that's not the real
president for the real whatever right chance. It would be
a huge it would be a huge disaster if someone
got assassinated turns out that it was body double or uh,
you know, a president or a prime minister is officiating

(36:25):
at some picking or in the crowd or at a
funeral of another head of state and it turns out
as a body double. But I don't, I honestly can't
say with any certainty how often or how infrequently body
doubles are actually used, But we do know their real thing.
But you have to think, with so much photography on

(36:45):
this planet right now, every single human being walk around,
walking around almost has a camera on them at all times,
and you'd think that if body doubles are being used,
it would be caught more. Yeah, I think we could
probably see body double is being used by celebrities right, Um,
not just stunt doubles and movies. But um, it reminds

(37:07):
me of an old quotation from the West Coast. With
so much drama in the LVC, it's kind of hard
being Snoop Dio double g And I guess in this
in some cases it literally is difficult. So Trueman, it
is so true. Don't thank me? Thanks Snoop Lion. Is
he still Snoop Lion that? Or is he back to
Snoop Dogg? I'm gonna go with sure alright, Well, right

(37:28):
in listeners and let us know as we continue, We've
got a few more here run a lolo on time,
but we're going to get through as many as we can.
I'm gonna hop over to a very recent one from
Megan and PFC Jeffrey. Oh this was this was a
really nice one. It's super nice. Hey, guys, I listened
to your Diamond podcast on the train to Nuremberg, Germany.

(37:49):
My husband and I opted to get an Alexandrite instead
of a diamond, and my mother and his mother were
both against that. We breached traditional ways. Glad to see
that we did give into marketing. You guys said that
you needed puppy pictures as we did, because we were
feeling pretty bummed when we were recording that Diamond podcast.
If you recall ben So, She says, sorry, this is late,

(38:13):
but this is my ten week old puppy named Marlow.
He's a British Golden Retriever mixed with lab I hope
he brightens your day. I know he brightens the day
of all the soldiers I pass at home on a
daily basis. Thank you guys for your hard work. And yeah,
I can't even tell you how cute this puppy dog
is the first picture in particular, Megan and PFC Jeffrey

(38:34):
that you sent. It's adorable. So thank you brightened my day,
made it a little less dark, all right, and we'll
go ahead to knock out a few short ones here,
Joshua W You wrote to us and said, can you
guys do a podcast on Facebook. We have done some
video podcast on Facebook, we have yet to do an
audio and I would love another crack at it because

(38:56):
Facebook is a spooky, uh, spooky being and you know,
like like any other thing online. Uh, of course you
can use it and you'll be fine. We have a
page on Facebook ourselves. We would just say, be very
careful before the audio podcast comes out. Just be very

(39:17):
careful about what you do online and assume that it's
all being recorded somehow. Even people that your friend and
relationships and all anything you put on there, it can
be used against you. So we're very very careful. Oh
and also, Ben, we put out that Facebook episode I
think in two thousand eleven maybe or even earlier, so

(39:39):
a lot of stuff has changed. Yeah, before there any
of these leaks came out. Yeah, and the uh and
now the help center side of it is even more
weird and difficult to navigate. Uh. So you know what
that's gonna that's gonna be on the way. That's a
good idea of Joshua. Okay, here's one from Kevin P. Says, Hello,
First and foremost thanks to all you guys who work

(40:02):
on the YouTube channel. Stuff they don't want you to know.
Your pursuits of knowledge and endeavors to bring the true
identity of the world and which we live in is
very entertaining and I very much enjoy it. Well, thank you, Kevin.
That last part was me. Now, I've only been watching
about a year or so, so apologies if you've already
covered the said topics. My ideas are an episode on
cryptids around the globe to show them all if you can.

(40:23):
I mean, like here in the Okanagan we have the
Ogo Pogo. I believe there's a legend of a similar
one to somewhere in Michigan. I don't honestly know that,
I just know there are a lot. Secondly, I'd love
to see an episode based on the Crimean War of
the nineteenth century. It's always been kind of mysterious to me,
as in there is something they don't want you to know.
I'm sure you guys can dig up some interesting facts.

(40:45):
I want heard of rumor about it. That was actually
when the first nuke was used in a war That
explains last sickness and such that went on, But it
was just that a rumor. I just figured, with what
was going on in the world stage right now, that
this episode should pique your interest. Nuke or no nuke
in the past, they don't want you to know how
many nukes are presently pointed at the area near the
Black Sea to day right now, kind disregards Kevin. There

(41:09):
are a couple of things to respond to here, Okay.
The first one I would say is cryptids. That is
I know, Ben, I'm hope I'm not telling any sales
out of school. Cryptids are one of your favorite Uh topics? Yeah, absolutely,
I find them fascinating. I just wish that there were
more videos and pictures of cryptids so that I could
make awesome videos about cryptids. Uh. That's my only gripe

(41:32):
with this subject. But we can at least talk about
them because they're fascinating. Uh. The second thing the Crimean
War the nineteenth century. I'm not very familiar with this. Yeah,
I'd love to take a crack at this one, met
because one of the contacts one of the most important
things that people are missing here in the West when

(41:54):
we hear about the fight between Russia and NATO, excuse me, Ukraine. Uh. Right,
One of the things that's missing here is a larger
look at the historical context the Crimean peninsula was given.
And I hope you can hear the air quotes I'm doing,
uh to Ukraine when it was a was a member

(42:16):
of the Soviet Socialist Republics, right uh by Stalin and
I want to say the fifties or so, and UH.
Since then, it's always been considered by the UM the
Russian government really to be a thing that actually belongs
to Russia. Uh. Now, of course you and I are

(42:41):
people of the mind that say, you know, you can't
just reach out and take pieces of countries, because that
is how wars start. But but the overall context of
this shows us that Crimea has been a hot spot
for conflict for quite a long time. And you are
absolutely right, Kevin, it is a tense area of the

(43:03):
world geopolitically speaking. However, I I have never heard this
allegation of a nuclear weapon being used in the nineteenth century. UM.
I have heard, I have heard ideas of other ancient
nuclear incidents. Right when people are quoting um ancient Indian

(43:24):
flying machines and the subcontinent and possible nuclear wars way
way back millennia. Go. Uh and we do know that
there really was it really was a nuclear reactor here,
probably before people, an ancient one. I forget the name
of that episode, but nuclear reactor. Search ancient nuclear reactor

(43:48):
and you shall find what you seek. Uh So, Ben,
I think we're we're about out of time here. Ah, yes,
oh we have. We've got to do one more thing.
We've got to uh check how he applies from everybody
who wrote to us uh here on our Facebook page. Uh.
You guys saw pass the strange picture of Donald Duck

(44:10):
as a pagan. Uh So, I'm just gonna read a
couple of these real quick. And Matt, do you want
to respond if if okay Jesse says during your Guatemala adventure,
Josh made an offering Tamashamone, I believe in an attempt
to rid himself of some unhealthy habits. Next thing we know,
he's quit smoking, taken up jogging. Does Josh given him
credit to Mashamone for his change lifestyle? You here's something

(44:34):
that some listeners might not know. Both Josh and I
have have propitiated, made propitiation to this folk state San
Simona mashamon Um and I had responded just saying, you
know what, I'll ask him and see how he feels
about it now and get back to you. Daniel F
writes to us and says, will you do an episode
on ghost Hunters and go over the theories, how the

(44:55):
equipment works, et cetera. We have a whole series on ghosts.
Ghost hunter is in particular and the equipment that's used
by them and what they look for. Check it out
on our YouTube channel. Please. Hacosoft sk writes to us
and says, what is the shale gas? Who whines my
country Algeria two weeks after the oil prices dropped drilling
for it? And is it really dangerous? Shale gas is

(45:19):
a topic that we need to look into, ben because
of all the oil complications going on in the world
right now. So we will be doing that listeners in
the future. Thank you very much, and thank you to
Lawrence Oh who were re applied to haclosoft uh by
noting some stuff about fracking. Very important. Matthew, are you
just said we were invoking that Disney magic when we

(45:41):
posted the tunnel duct picture, which yeah, I didn't expect
so many people to um to notice. But next Anna A.
You said, look at satanism hidden within cartoons. I find
this fascinating and would love to check it out. Um.
Also props to E and B who responded with Donald
Duck's famous math magic land, um, which I don't know

(46:05):
if you've ever seen. Have you seen it? Okay, it's
it's Donald Duck learning math exactly, but it's it's it's
amazing and if you are a follower of sacred geometry
type ideas, then you will enjoy it on a whole
different level. Yes, Sir, Lee n h writes in says
nothing creepy about this picture. He's a pagan. Donald Mezzo

(46:26):
A writes and says, Hi, guys, can you make a
topic about cartoons linked with spooky stuff? So that's two
people asking us for that, like cartoons attaining meanings, not
simple subliminal stuff, but something that's creepy, like a creepy
pasta story, but a real one or better yet, please
invest investigate the truth about a cartoon called ed edd
and Eddie. I found the creator was a mentally ill

(46:47):
person who got shot by the police. Okay, uh, yeah,
I remember, um, Nickelodeon I believe. Yeah, Well, we'll look
into that. Uh, Sangaranu D writes and just to post
a a nineteen forty three Disney cartoon featuring Donald Duck
as a Nazi. So people are into the strange cartoons

(47:11):
of yesteryear. You know, I watched that stuff all which
it Maybe it is Larry In. You said, I like
to see analysis on the drop of oil prices in
the United States. Uh, that is on the way, Kelsey,
I said, will you guys do it behind the scenes
episode about making stuff they don't want you to know?
That's been on a list for a long time, right,

(47:32):
I think we gotta do it. Tony b asked us
about something the government, the US government is hiding regarding
affordable healthcare. John C says, Uh, John C is talking
about Donald Duck because he says it's obviously a Satanic
interpretation of the magic symbol used throughout history as a

(47:52):
means to protect those engaging the use of magic. Interesting
that he's wearing a laurel, which is obviously tied to
Roman imperialism. Uh. Yusef Q says, are you actually good
guys or justin disguise? What do you think? Matt no comment?
I Uh, fair enough, fair enough. I think we're good guys. Yeah,

(48:14):
but everybody thinks they're a good guys. Tragic part of
the human existence. Nobody says I'm the bad guy. Honestly,
sometimes I worry I have that that Jack Hardy moment
Ryan Hardy moment where I'm like, man, am I really
the good guy? Hashtag the following? Okay, all right, we
also have keyping w says, are the museums of the

(48:38):
world covering up information that would change how we view history? Uh?
You know it's interesting in some ways in the past. Absolutely,
and definitely because a lot of the things that end
up in world renowned museums were stolen from the people
who had them and their context was out of place.
You know. Uh, we could do a whole thing on

(49:00):
the history museums, and I would love to. All Right,
And and Matt, it looks like we might still have
some other replies coming in, but we're gonna have to
revisit those on another day. Unfortunately, we are out of time.
Nold Juicy Jams Brown is uh shooting us? Shooting us?
The look? Oh wait, no, you had you had a
pretty good conspiracy earlier too, right involving the Simpsons. Oh yeah, yeah,

(49:26):
that was it that Homer has been in a comma
during the entire probably the entire run of the show,
and then like all of the episodes following the episode
early on where he did actually get into a comma
or just like his you know, delusions or something fascinating interesting.
I've seen that used before though another show. So hopefully

(49:47):
The Simpsons isn't just copying other people. Oh no, uh,
we hope that you've enjoyed this episode if you wrote
to us and did not hear a response on the
air while it type, because if you enjoyed this episode,
we're gonna come back and do it again by all means.
