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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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, 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, 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, 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, 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 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 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, 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 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, 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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, 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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, 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, 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 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, 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, 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 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, 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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. 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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, 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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, 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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, 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 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 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, 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 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.
