But it doesn't hurt to smack a little 11 here over around a little bit and say, look, kid, I'm your parent, you behave, you're not going to listen to that garbage in my house. If you do, I'm going to tear it up and break those records. I'm not going to, or CDs or whatever. iPods, whatever you get that mess. I mean, it's only 11.

I'm false. The morning stream, fish. Why the hell do they call you fish? Hello, everybody. Welcome to TMS. It's Thursday, June 8th, 2020. I'm Scott Johnson, and that is Brian Ibbett. Hello. Hello, vacation bound. So we had one sad death overnight and one happy death overnight. Would you like to guess which one is what? Let's just say not so sad death. Yeah, we'll say that.

Nobody, I don't know if anyone's happy, but I'm not that sad about it. I only know about Pat Robertson, so I guess I'm going to be sad now. The Iron Sheik, wrestlers, wrestling's own Iron Sheik, who is 81, I think, 81, 82. And he is, by every account. A really nice guy. Cool. He's married to his wife for 47 freaking years. Wow.

Who else does that? Nobody, that's who? That's who doesn't. Us, if we make it that far, I guess. Anyway, and we won't even talk about the other guy. F that guy. He sucks. We are back to it.

We got a show to do. It's a little shorter today just to give the listening audience some warning. Wendy's not here, and also Brian's got to bail early for a family trip. So we are going to do about an hour of content. driving up to the mountains yeah it'll be fun you got your uh it's it's your it's a it's a it's a lift ride that'll pay you nothing you know wow when you put it like that geez go up there for free no that'll be good i'm sure uh that so i didn't know uncle george had kids of his own is that right he has kids and grandkids or grand that's i meant grandkids of his own so you're going to be like

multi-generational uncle uh uncle uh bibit or whatever you get called yeah he has four daughters and one of his daughters has two daughters uh and uh so yeah i'm going to be kind of like way outnumbered up there the male to female ratio not not looking too good for me it's not your favorite um yeah yeah but he's uh yeah only uh one of the daughters is not going to be able to make it and um uh one of the granddaughters is not going to be able to make it, but everybody else is coming up. So it's basically, George, his wife, three of their four daughters, one of their two granddaughters, my mom, Tina, me, and Tristan. Unfortunately, Kay's not going to make it up there either, Tristan's girlfriend, Kay.

That's too bad. It sounds like it'll be fun, though. You guys have a good time. It's going to be fun. I was told not to bring, as my Aunt Barb, disson. describes it, any board games that require, Brian, don't bring, she sounds a lot like Tina, by the way, don't bring any games, whereas like the wizard's sword has to be on the third piece. And if it's on the fourth piece, then you draw two cards. And then you, yeah. What do they just want? They want like old maid and freaking. Yeah, exactly. I might be pushing things by bringing, what's the train one? um oh my god why might i like oh uh put it in the stack oh my gosh what's it called the effing train game i love that game uh german game it's called get on the train

prop de schnell ticket to ride thank you to freaking ride it's only a beatles song and i just put the book the game on a stack of games so that one that one i feel i might be pushing um for for family level i don't know it's easy i'm bringing code names of course I'm bringing Flux, because I feel like that kind of suckers them into a game

without a lot of rules because you play flux and the first card you play, it's just, oh, play cards, okay, great. But then as you play, it turns into a beast. And then I figure

Tristan and I and maybe, you know, George or a couple other people might be up for Clank, which is a deck building dungeon crawler. Yeah, clink has other versions, too, right? Like, they have like a...

There's a clank in space, I believe, yeah. Yeah, a few like that. I think there was even across... I'd be thinking of something else. There was maybe a crossover with Blizzard, but I might be thinking of a different board game. Oh, might be... They basically skinned.

It's a little bit like Munch game where they skin it for a property. Sure. Possibly, yeah, certainly. Might be that. If I had a thought about it, I have this, like, perfectly functional... Beta 2 deck.

I could have sent you this beta. Yeah, if the dungeon murder deck, you could have sent me, right? Yeah, I have one. I already have a newer version of the beta deck, and there's not a ton different. So this one, I could have done it. I didn't think about it. I don't know what I was thinking. Man, man.

Could have, you know, there are some rules in there, but they're probably... That's an easy one. That's an easy one for this group, I think. Yeah, I think that would have been fun. What else? I'm taking Marvel remix. I'm taking poker chips and poker cards. because, or just, you know, deck of cards, because, you know, that's pretty damn easy.

Oh, and then something called Telestrations, which is like, it's a, it's basically the telephone game, but you do it with drawing. Oh, that's fun. You get a clue, you draw it on the first thing, on the first sheet, and it's like these wipe-off flip cards are great, like a little spiral-bound instead of dry erase cards. you draw it on the first one then hand it to the next person they look at what you've drawn flip it to the next thing where they have to write what they think that is then they hand that to the next person

who draws what that person wrote and basically it goes around like eight times or eight levels draw a clue yeah just like I course says draw a clue draw clue that sounds like fun I would play that's a blast yeah you should take your amber neck as well just for your private time you know Are you kidding me? Of course. Get her right here. Taking the Embernik. I'm taking the switch.

The switch. And a dock. Oh, you're going to dock your switch. Okay. And I'm taking four joycons so we can play a little Mario cart because I'm going to hijack the TV at the Airbnb and bend it to my will. That's awesome. You are doing it right. This is living right is what this is. Thank you. I'm trying. I'm doing my best. You're doing exactly what you should do. All right, quick reminder to folks at home. that you got to get that morning form in before Monday. If you guys want to win, so go to frogpants.com slash the morning form and fill it out. It just basically is asking you what class you started with Diablo for. And I've had some ask.

Do I have to play the game to even do this? No, you don't go in there and make something up or choose a option that you would choose. See what class you would choose if you were playing the game. Yeah, even if it's sight unseen, you're just like, I like rogue, so I'd do a rogue. That's fine. Right, right. Or like Scott says, just come up with a dumb class that you probably would play yeah a bunch of you will do that anyway so it's not really the point the point is to win some

shit you know so uh hop over frogpants dot com slash the morning forum we got a text about presidents i need to share cool okay uh we talked on the show a little bit about uh i can't remember what it was we talked about uh oh we were talking about presents day and how i hated it's stupid holiday and all that well we just talked about how you know you uh you don't celebrate christmas on jesus's actual birthday. So, and we don't celebrate President's Day on any of the President's actual birthdays. That's right. Especially the two that we always show in the photos or the

when we try to illustrate, it's always Washington and Lincoln or something, right? Or maybe Teddy Roosevelt, but we never like do it on their birthdays and they don't share the same birthday. So, Mink wrote in and said, Buchanan and Johnson. That's pretty good. Okay. That's pretty good.

Because those are two presidents. Those are actual presidents, you know. except they're not S. There's no S and, oh, yes, B, okay, all right. Yeah, B for you, Johnson just makes sense because that's already my name. S and B, but all right, allow it. We're going to allow this one, all right? But next time, don't expect to walk into our courtroom and get, we're not pushovers here

of the judge's table, all right? In a TMS episode last weekish, you said POTUS or the president of the United States weren't born on the same day mocking president's day as an official holiday and obviously that's correct but did you know that a bunch died on the same day specifically jefferson and adams both 1826 and i think it was within hours of each other oh really really that that close geez yeah i remember from the um assuming it was correct but from the john adams mini series which was so freaking good i need to see that with jimani oh have you never seen it i've never seen it scott i've never seen it, Scott, do I know? Take your bets. Will I see Parasite first or will Brian see John Adams?

John Adams is... I guarantee I'll see John Adams before you see Paris. It is legit, awesome. Even if I wait a year to see John Adams. You'll love it, dude. Legitimately, you will love it. It's fantastic. I can't wait to see when John Adams yells. I'm not going to drink the effing Merlot. When you see Jefferson put his junk up on his window. That's real trough. A real rough business there. real trough here's what he says also Monroe James Monroe I guess

five years later in 19 or in 1831 so three of the five presidents died on July 4th the day that's crazy the day we celebrate our great independence day I wonder how many of them died before

well no I guess we started we started 1777 right was the first fourth of July in 1777? I assume we go, did we go right into it? Yeah, that's a good question. Did the very next year, did we start firing off fireworks and stuff? I don't know.

Independence Day. I'd be really curious about that, actually. I'd be curious. If we waited like, did we just right away, we said, yeah, 1777. Really? Wow. No, I'm looking to see. I'm looking to see.

Yeah, 1777, 13, 13 gunshots were fired in salute once at morning. Once again, it evening fell on July 4th in Bristol, Rhode Island. 1778 from his headquarters at Russ Hall General George Washington March July 4th with a double ration of rum for his soldiers and artillery salute a double ration of rum. Wow. Wow.

We don't do that anymore. No, no, I'm not going to... When I'm in Vegas next weekend, I'm not going to ask, can I get a ration of rum, please? Can you double that, you'll say? You'll ask. That's right. 1779, it fell on a Sunday, so they celebrated on Monday, July 5th.

I mean, pretty much, right? It depends on what you... what you call it, it was until 1938 that became a paid federal holiday. Oh, that's a lot longer than I would have thought. 1870 Independence Day became an unpaid holiday for federal employees. So in other words, a crappy day off. Yeah, not a great day off. Like an unpaid day off.

Yeah. You can't work, but we're not paying you. So you just go home. Let's see. A 1781, July 4th, a state celebration, I guess. It really depends on when you, when you consider it official. Is it when it became a state celebration or when it became a federal?

Do you say 1838 or 1938? 1938 was when Congress changed Independence Day to a paid federal holiday. That seems so late. In our grandparents' lifetime is when Independence Day became a paid federal holiday. That seems so late to me. it does but keep in mind again it was like 60 years after the congress made independent stay an unpaid federal holiday yeah i'm always surprised by i mean we're just a young country right yeah yeah other other countries mark things in thousands of years like the british are like oh well two thousand years ago this

happened and we're like oh yeah well 80 years ago we gave black people 120 years ago yeah 50 years ago, we let black people vote fully everywhere in the States. That was pretty cool. 50 whole years ago. I don't know. It's weird. You and I were both alive for the bicentennial. Like, you know, when our country was 200 years old, we

went and got those official quarters, or at least I did. Yeah, and as a kid, it seemed huge, right? Yeah. Oh, my gosh, wow. And boy, 200 years is sure a long time. Not really. Yeah. And, you know, England's over there saying, we have we have

a tree or no what's a good example we have pubs that are older than that yeah yeah that's true it's a bad example I think that's true though I think they do have pubs older than us oh they absolutely have pubs older than that that's why it makes it a bad example they have pubs older than

oh I see what you're saying yeah good point yeah it's it's crazy though because as a kid 200 years seem like the eternities and now it's nothing yeah we have shits older than you when I I mean, Pat Robertson was 103, or no, I'm sorry, 93. He was going in.

But he talked like he was 200. Yeah, that's true. He talked like he was. They're making their CDs or iPods or up and break their eight tracks tapes. You'd think you'd want to have a person with you when you do that show that could correct you and give you better information, but she was no help at all that. She was no help. She would sometimes steer him further into, into. the wrong area i mean she gave it still you do have the guitar hero thing oh yeah i'm gonna find

it right now that's my favorite of her it's one of the greatest things we ever did here here here enjoy isn't there a guitar that's called something hero oh my gosh even though we bring that up all the time it's still stunningly stupid it really is yeah wow yeah was he and he's the one who did the whole snoopy poop dog right Like, I don't know his name. Oh, I think that was a different dude. Is that a different dude? I think so.

Let's see. Let's play it. I have it. Yeah. Do I not have it? Snoopy, poopy, poop dog. Hold on. Where is that?

Oh, my gosh, do I did it. Is this on that old drive I never recovered? Oh, boy. I don't see it. Oh. That's a real. Is this a well? No.

Here. No. Is this? I got to take a poop. No, that's jury. Dick poop. Dick poop. What's that?

I was actually taking a poop. Oh, man. I don't have it. All right. Well, one day, Brian, I'm pulling that old drive out and I'm going to get everything off of it. But today is not that day. Yeah, that's okay. It's all right.

I want to thank Hootie 42 in our Discord for reminding us how old we are today by mentioning that Ghostbusters premiered today 39 years ago. Wow. On this day, Ghostbusters won. You got you tuned in, you saw a lady freak out in a library, and then you saw a Peter Vankman get all purvy with a girl who was way too young for him. And, uh, well, was she at the time, though? Because remember, he was 39 years younger as well. Uh, he was, but she was supposed to be a student like 18 and he was supposed to be.

She was supposed to be. I mean, yeah. What was she really? She could be an adult grad student. She could be an adult grad student. Yeah. It can, I watched it recently. It comes off creepy as shit.

I will 100% concede about his really pervy treatment of Gina Davis on that talk show clip that makes me grosses me out it makes me so oh and i don't i don't mean by the way i don't mean bill murray the person i mean the character peter vancman that's what i'm saying yeah and i still say he's like probably uh you know i say el pachino set the bar and now we just have to live with that with that bar yeah alpuccino has set he's 81 and he's got a kid on the way can you believe it yeah how did they get productive with a 23 year old 26 year old something like that she's super young. How did he get, how were they getting productive sperm out of that

guy's junk? I'm not shooting blanks here. If I was half the man I used to be, I'd take a flamethrower to this place. Good luck to that kid. He'll be going to who's dad dies of natural causes when you're in like fifth grade. Like that's just seems. I'm going to walk that boy to school.

I'll tell you that much. That's insane. Anyway, good luck to all of them. They smell that? There's a set of a woman right there. They got a lot of money, so they'll be all right. They'll make it. They'll make it work.

They're somehow going to make it. I think that kid's going to be just fine. Yeah, I think he'll make it. All right. We're going to bring in our good pal and friend, Red Fraggle. Yes. Oh, I see. Wait, she sent me a clip.

Let me do this real fast so that I can prepare it. I will prepare quicktms.l.i to receive said information. That's a good idea. That's not just a, Brian, that's not just a good idea. I think that's a vital. It's a really good idea. It's a vital idea. Okay, so let me pull that up, and then I will add her to the call.

It's usually we do before the show. Here it is. Okay. It's now marked and ready to rock. And here comes Amy into the call. By adding her name, I click her now, and I hit add. Okay, here she comes. Let's get ready.

It's going to be time before you freaking know it. Where is it? Okay, here we go. One of the things that I enjoy also is reading. Join us in welcoming Amy Robinson, aka Red Fraggle 3, to the show. Hello, Amy, and welcome back. Oh, hello. How are you?

Good. You're going to help us read today. Is that what we're going to do? Read. That is my plan. That's what we would like to do. Look at you, improving the literacy, one podcast host at a time. I love it.

Yes, it's true. It's true. Well, good to have you here. We love our Wednesdays, or sorry, Thursdays with you. And I'm really glad to have you around. What did you bring for us today? So, yeah, I brought a memoir that is particularly timely for this month. And, yeah, that's all I'll say.

You can just play the clip and then I'll talk more about it afterwards. Here we go. In early October, the Tom Keys bought a boat and everyone seemed greatly relieved. Halloween fell in a Saturday that year. I'd look forward to going in disguise to the Tom Key's door, but they were off at the lake and their house was dark. The night after Halloween, we were sitting around watching TV when the doorbell rang, opening the door to discover the entire Tom Key family on our front stoop. The parents looked as they always had, but the son and daughter were dressed in costumes. She is a ballerina, and he is some kind of a rodent with terry cloth ears and a tail made from what looked to be an extension cord.

It seemed they had spent the previous evening isolated at the lake and had missed the opportunity to observe Halloween. So, well, I guess we're trick-or-treating now, if that's okay, Mr. Tom Key said. I attributed their behavior to the fact that they didn't have a TV, but television didn't teach you everything. Asking for candy on Halloween was called trick-or-treating, but asking for candy on November 1st was called begging. This was one of the things you were supposed to learn by simply being alive, and an angered. me that the Tom Keys did not understand it. Why, of course, it's not too late, my mother said. Kids, why don't you run and get the candy? But the candy is gone, my sister Gretchen said. You gave it away last night. Not that candy, my mother said, the other candy. Why don't you

run and go get it? You mean our candy, Lisa said? The candy that we earned? This was exactly what our mother was talking about, but she didn't want to say this in front of the Tomkeys. Go on now, she said. Hurry up. Oh, David Sedaris. I love that guy. Is that me talk pretty? It is, yes. Is it that one?

It's such a good book. It's actually, actually not, that's not this book. Oh. Yeah, same author. Yes, it is David Sedaris. The one book of this I have. Yeah, I was going to say, it's the only one I've read. I've never read any of his others.

So now I'm curious. Oh, yeah. So the name of this book is dress your family in corduroy and denim. And as you guys spotted, it is indeed David Sedaris. And yeah, I mean, it's great. It's one of his collection of humorous essays. And he reads them so well. And he just writes everything with just this dry sort of humor to it.

You know, nothing has like a huge range of inflection. It's all just, yeah, and then this happened. and that would be disastrous and you know that kind of thing and and uh it's it's exactly what you would expect of uh of david sadaris it's fantastic he's great first time i ever heard him was on this american life and it was that one that thing we everyone's heard the christmas elf uh stuff yes yeah um i looked that up right before this um santa land diaries yeah that's it yeah the thing on mpr that he did yeah and uh when i i remember the day i really that David Sedera, and I think it was because of something he said about his family, I went, wait

a minute, Amy Sedaris is your sister? And then I was like, hold on, I really like her. And then I got super fan-dy fan boy about it. And for those of you who recognize the name Amy Sedaris, but don't know where from, think the big-haired lady who fixes up ships in the Mandalorian. Oh, yeah, that's her recent stuff. Sure. Yeah. I was think, was Parks and Recreation? Or what I knew her from was Strangers with Candy way back in the old days of Coventry Central

So good Yes Oh my gosh Didn't that have a A relatively unknown Stephen Colbert I think was in that Oh yeah

He was the principal That's right School that she Yeah that she was a student at That was a really funny show But she was really good Even just the small boat roles Like the secretary on

I think elf She was a secretary for For James Kahn's character Yeah I think you're right it was a tiny car it was a tiny role but it was really memorable she kind of stole the scene she was in she's great yeah yeah yeah she's great uh well that's awesome i love his stuff and i've only ever really other than that first book or or me talk pretty i think other than that i've not read anything but you hear him all the time he still goes on um ira glasses show here and there and does like a

a new thing and sometimes at christmas they just play that old thing is like a tradition Yeah. But he's awesome. Yeah. He's great. Yeah. And I think that's what you've brought in is probably the better way to enjoy him. I mean, Scott and I both have the book, but it feels like the audio book is probably, especially in a case like this where it's somebody's memoir and they're a sad, not really a satirist, the humorist.

That sells him short even a little bit. But you want to hear that person tell their story. And I think the audio book is probably the better way to go. Yeah. And he's got something. I don't know if it's an audiobook or something separate where he does some live stuff and so you get audience reactions to him reading on stage.

Oh, that's cool. And it's done kind of like a comedy album, but I don't know what to call because these aren't very, these are unusual. It's closer to that humorous thing you're saying where it's like somebody up on stage doing readings from their book and it's great. I don't remember where I heard it.

I probably heard it on This American Life, but highly recommend tracking that stuff down too. It's really good. Yeah. Yeah, it's great. And the reason I said this was timely is because David Sedaris is gay and he's got a, he's got a whole story in this book about getting invited to a slumber party at a basically a bully's house. And then the bully forcing them all to play strip poker. And of course, you know, this was before, you know, any kids were ever out of the closet.

So he's horrified at this prospect. You can imagine then, like, you know, hilarity in sues. Hilarity of sues. Yes. He's still, so he's got this longtime partner named Hugh, I think. Yeah. He's still with him. I think that's like, every time you see some bigoted heterosexual who gets divorced,

remind them that David Sedaris and Hugh Hamrick have been together for like 30 years. Those dudes are like inseparable. Yeah. Right. Just rub that in. Oh, throwing through one of the worst things in my life. But thank you for,

I think he still lives in, he moved to France. I think he's still there. Let's see. He is running. Yeah, and there's a bunch of stories about that, like moving to France

and what the cultural change for him was and why he did it. And anyway, he's awesome. Nothing wrong with this guy. So I figured this was a good choice for, you know, Pride Month.

Very, very much so, yeah. Oh my gosh, he is, you know how I am with numbers. I like to see things in numbers. He's 66. He was born in 56, and his birthday is on December 26th. Whoa. Yeah, look at all the sixes, you guys.

That's crazy. Look out now. So he is the devil. Oh, and you're telling me that Diablo 4 coming out the same year is just a coincidence? Hmm. We cracked the code. Oh, yeah, by the way, you guys were talking about bicentennial stuff and whatnot. I was actually born in 1976, so I was a Bicentennial baby.

Oh, wow. Do you have a quarter from your birth year? I used to keep those quarters all the time. I don't think I have any now, but my birth certificate is like all fancy, and it's got like American flags on it and says bicentennial and all that stuff. It's like, you know, yeah. What's the next one called? What's the math on the next one in 2076?

What do we call that? Is that called the tricentennial? Is it tricentennial? Is that what you do? Yeah, tricentennial would follow the format. Would the next one be quad centennial? I think it would, yeah. And then sep-septennial, septennial? Wait, septennial.

Septennial? Pentennial. Yeah, sept will be seven. Pentennial. Oh, Pent, right, right. Pentennial. Pentcentennial. We will not be dead.

We will not be around for that. We will not be around. We do have the, we do have the 250. which we probably will all be around will hopefully be all around for and that would be there's a yeah what do you do you do um oh how do you do it with a with a 250 250 um would you call that a buy by and a half centennial no there's some there's some there's some term for uh for the 250 biceptennial by semi tenial by yeah i don't know i semi tenial by yeah i don't know i semi tenial I love that.

Cesquins. Oh, is it one of the Cesquistinians 1.50. Okay. Yeah, what is the 250? And I can't even figure out what that would be the Cesquicentennial. Huh. Well, we'll figure it out when it comes. What?

Semiclincentennial? Oh, wow. Yeah, we've got four years to, three years to figure out how to say all that. You know, it's weird. Yeah. Actually, that is right. The quarter millennial, yeah. The semi-quincentennial.

That's what's weird is when you have a kid who was born in 2000, you start to think in terms of, you know, when these things happen. So like the next one, the try, would be 76, 2076. And the idea that Nick would be 76 years old is an idea I cannot, cannot, can't make sense of it. Is that blow your mind? Yeah, I just can't think of it. It blows my mind.

Yeah. And I'll be long gone by that. Yeah. Oh, we all will. Well. We'll have been dust in old people brownies by then. Dust in the wind. Looking forward to my brownie time.

You should do it. Let's get it in there.

We could even start saying the morning stream at gmail. Or no, see, that's already the email. But we could say the morning stream.com. The morning stream. And then people would go there. I like that. All right. Uh, let's get to some news and, uh, let's do it in this form.

Time for the news for the day and it's brought to you by. My coverville today at 1 p.m. Mountain Time. Twitch.tv.TV is what I would usually say at this moment. But I'm not going to say that this time because I'm going on vacation so there won't be a coverville today. We will be back next week and, um, I'm not exactly sure what next week will be, but by golly, it's going to be a good. show it's going to be awesome so make sure you're there uh for that next week you know do you ever worry that your next episode's going to be whoever dies between now next week you know what i mean yes oh yeah yeah yeah happens a lot right it's like oh so-and-so-dad i'm doing a show about that you know like tina turner came kind of got sprung on me where uh um i had another show plan and had to

shove something i had to shove a tribute for her this this year has been so many tribute episodes because we've had so many people pass away. So, we're getting to that, we're getting to that time where, like, you know, what, Bert Baccarac, uh, um, uh, Harry Belafonte, Tina Turner. Yeah, there are quite a few that I've had to do so far. We're going to start, we're going to have a rapid loss of 80s idols. Exactly. Yeah. 2025, nothing but tribute episodes.

Yeah, that's all right. Yeah. Look out sting. We got you. We got you. We got you. Let's move on to this story here. The USA here, the 300-year-old country of ours.

Yeah, where we're at right now, yeah, yeah. Yeah, has UFOs of non-human origin intact claims an ex-intelligence officer. He says we have spacecraft from aliens that we have not disclosed to the American people, and we have those hidden away and tucked away. That's what he says. An ex-U.S. military and intelligence worker has given an interview which he says the U.S. is found and covered up several non-human origin crafts. This is David Grush, or Grush, 36-year-old Air Force veteran. I don't know. It sounds like a hoaker to me.

Anyway. David Grouch. Told News Nation on Monday that a top secret military program found the wreckage of a fully intact UFO or UFOs, plural. or as they call it, unidentified aerial phenomena or UAPs. I like him better as UFOs, you know. It's got some history, right? Some cool history to it. You don't want to change that.

Yeah, UFOs, as some people would call them. I want to useos, but UAPs. I don't want to call them UAPs. It's lame. Yeah, yeah. UAPs. UAPs. It sounds like we're describing that Cardi B song from a couple of years.

Oh, yeah, the WAP. We don't want that. Yeah, the WAP. That's a totally different aerial phenomena. No. Nobody's going to go looking for that. He says, in a quote, there are retrieving non-human origin technical vehicles called,

called Spacraft, if you will, he says, non-human exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed. He said, he added it in those wreckages, the pilots of the craft were found. Says, well, naturally, when you recover something that is either landed or crash, someone you encounter, or sometimes you encounter dead pilots. And believe it or not, as fantastical as it sounds. It's true, says the whistleblower.

Okay. He previously worked as a national reconnaissance officer, representative to the UAP task force. He also saw combat in Afghanistan. Yeah, he claims, let's see, there were 50010 UAP sightings in 2022. That was up from the 366 in the previous year. According to a report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence in January, Well, only 171 of those were deemed to appear to have demonstrated unusual flight characteristics or performance capabilities and require further analysis, according to the report. The remainder, or sorry, the remainder were balloon-like entities or clutter. Oh, no. Oh, the alien is clutter. Guess what?

Then my basement down here is Moss Isley. I was going to say, you got a camera pointing in my studio right now? Is that what they're going to? Right, exactly, yeah. clutter is aliens look just because the guy's ex-military I don't automatically go oh well everything he says is gospel then I don't do that right no no we can't plenty of weirdos are we used to be in the military and lots of amazing people are in the military don't get me wrong sure but there's nuts everywhere and people say dumb shit all the time I don't believe this at all I think that they

probably have a few things they can't explain because it's weird and they got tricked but I don't think anybody's going oh look at this ship with this dude flying it from the planet Zontar 5. Nope. Like Mulder, I want to believe. Yeah. But I don't. Yeah, I don't believe it either.

It's all horseshit. Horship. Here's what I do believe. The Ford Bronco is being recalled because people may get quote unquote discouraged to trying to use the seatbelts. I believe that. Did they change the way the seatbelts work? Because it feels like they must have, right?

Well, it seems like they, we have a long history of how seatbelts are meant to work. It seems like their method may be pissing people off. So they're recalling 176,000 of these Bronco SUVs. This is the same car the Jorts guy got into and said missed, what do you say? Lost Opportunity or whatever he said. Oh, yes,

right, right. Same car except here. It's missed opportunity. He's the one with the, he had the yellow, kind of the typical yellow new one. Anyway, that's right. Missed opportunity. Can't do my seat belts. That's right. Model year's 2021 to 2023. They are doing this because

the National Highway Safety and Traffic and Safety Administration found that drivers and front seat passengers have had difficulty reaching the metal portion of the belt when it's in the retracted position. So they're having to fish for it too much. Okay. It says the customer might experience some dissatisfaction or be discouraged. It's a weird term. If they are unable to access easily the seatbelt and is in its stowed position, driving without the use of the seatbelt increases the risk of injury and crash they had, of course. Um, I get people, you know, frequently who try to connect the seatbelt from the right side to the middle, uh, receptor. Yeah.

Like they'll, and, and like, they'll be in my lift. They'll get in the back. Uh, hey, confirming where you're going. Oh, okay. The such and such great. All right. We're heading there. And we start, we start going.

Although maybe I shouldn't if they don't have their seatbelt going. I don't know. I don't know if it's a, but some of these people, I would be waiting for 15 minutes because of how much, um, oh my gosh. how many how long it takes them to uh uh to get their dang thing connected and it's like no try i bet you're doing the um the middle or the wrong middle one or something uh no i it's the only one i see it's like well slide over just a little bit i think you'll see the other one uh scott i will tell you that i did have to pick up somebody from the hospital last week and uh uh bathrobe uh oh They're not bathrobe, but those robes that they wear, basically, that you're naked underneath.

Oh, like the smock things with the back open? The smock things with the back open. They had it tied shut. I don't know if he had something on underneath that. But he had to hang his bag of urine on the back of my passenger seat, and I had to help him put the seatbelt on. Wow. Yeah, hospital gown. There we go.

Thank you. Did the bag of urine smearment? Did the bag of urine smacky in the cheek by accident or anything? It didn't. Fortunately, he didn't get that low. Okay. Because nobody wants that. Nobody wants that.

Elderly, man. He was, speaking of people who've been in the military, so we're leaving the hospital. And he says, oh, there's a helicopter up on that roof. I'm like, oh, yeah, that's really, that's really cool. I want to ride in one of those someday. But I don't want to ride in one that goes to the hospital. And he says, I wrote in one of those for several years all over Southeast Asia. Oh, man.

Wow, that's cool. Man. Vietnam guy. Thank you for doing that to keep the rest of us free and all that. He's like, yeah, had a head injury a few years ago. I can't remember anything about it, but that's what they tell me. I'm like, oh, man. That might be good considering how gnarly that conflict was.

Yeah, because he went on about, do you know how many rounds this such and such machine gun can fire in a second? I'm like, no, I don't. He says 64 rounds in a second. Do you know how many people you can kill in that amount of time? I'm like, more than I'd like to know, he's like, that's about right or something along those lines, that's right. That's hardcore, man. Yeah, it was, it was grizzled.

It was basically, I feel like we're going to get into the airplane over Rio Bravo. I'll never be over Rio Bravo. I'd get into one of those at one point. I had super racist guy yesterday. I honestly thought, after I dropped him off. after the ride about pulling the audio from my interior ring cam

to play on the show. But I'm, you know, the fact that I have to hold my tongue as a driver over Macho Grande, that's it, not Rio Grande. The fact that I have to hold my tongue and not say, oh, dude,

you're horrible. Can I just let you out here and let you walk the rest of the way to pep boys? it would be embarrassed to play that audio and have people hear the stuff that I could not shut him up about that I could not tell him not to. Was he saying this stuff to you, like having a conversation? Yes.

Gross. Yes. Gross. The only time I agreed with him was at the point he said, you know, Donald Trump is the Democrats' worst nightmare. I said, yeah, he sure is. The rest of it, all the rest of it, I was silent, silent, silent, silent.

Well, you should have done your impression. Should have done your Trump impression, you know? I should have. You know, those pet boys. And, you know, they're the best. I don't know about Jack. People say Jack's the problem. Jeannie, you can blame me for that one.

Go ahead, Jeannie. Go ahead. I made him do it. All right, that's going to do it for today's news and for today's programming because we're going to get out of here pretty quick, do a little post show and get some stuff done. A reminder, no coverville today. All right.

That's a high watermark of time, 44. That's right. Time to cover your smart devices ears because he continues. Please pick your favorite cover of Billy Joel's, the downeaster. Alexa. If I say it's slow, does it still trigger? Well, let me try, yeah. No, it didn't trigger for me.

No, it didn't do it. No, no, okay. So I'm just going to keep saying it slowly like that. Yeah, on his Stormfriend album, Billy Joel wrote a song with his daughter's name, which is Electra. Electra. No? Yeah. Yeah, see, that probably triggered it, right?

She lit up over there when they did it. Yeah. That's so stupid. That's why Daredevil can't have an Echo show, by the way. He can't. Anyway, this is performed by the band's show of hands From their 2000 album covers It is my favorite cover of this song

Here is show of hands with their cover of Billy Joles The Downeaster Alexa All right, we'll see you guys Monday Have a great weekend and we'll see you then While I'm on the down Easter Alexa And I'm cruising through both Lock Island sound

I have charted a course to the vineyard but tonight I am Antucket bound I took on diesel back in Montauk

yesterday and left this morning from the Bellin Gardner's Bay like all the locals here I've had to sell my home Too proud to leave I work my fingers to the bomb So I could own my down

Easter Alexa And I go where the ocean is deep There are giants out there in the canyons And a good captain can fall asleep Well I got built to pay and children pretty close I know there's fish out there but where God only knows they say these waters I know what they used to be
