 Hello from Baehr and Curadh, a podcast from the Land of Awes Information Services.

2
00:00:18.391 --> 00:00:19.591
 I love you, Curadh.

3
00:00:19.591 --> 00:00:20.491
 I love you, Baehr.

4
00:00:20.491 --> 00:00:25.211
 This is episode 148 of the Baehr and Curadh podcast.

5
00:00:25.211 --> 00:00:29.331
 We're going to talk about new conspiracy theories.

6
00:00:29.331 --> 00:00:30.551
 Okay.

7
00:00:30.551 --> 00:00:36.891
 Other billionaires funded Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter with an agreement he would intentionally

8
00:00:36.891 --> 00:00:40.091
 tank it so it couldn't be used to coordinate protests.

9
00:00:40.091 --> 00:00:47.111
 This has the symptoms of a really good conspiracy theory.

10
00:00:47.111 --> 00:00:55.791
 Because it's just close enough to be possible and really no way to verify it.

11
00:00:55.791 --> 00:01:00.051
 And I could see them doing something like that, to be honest with you.

12
00:01:00.051 --> 00:01:07.391
 Yeah, kind of like that movie we talked about in a few episodes back with the two rich guys

13
00:01:07.391 --> 00:01:11.371
 who had a bet on whether they could drive the guy out of the apartment or not.

14
00:01:11.371 --> 00:01:12.611
 Changing places.

15
00:01:12.611 --> 00:01:13.991
 And the bet was for a dollar.

16
00:01:13.991 --> 00:01:15.471
 Yeah, the billionaires.

17
00:01:15.471 --> 00:01:15.591
 Yeah.

18
00:01:15.591 --> 00:01:17.091
 It ruins somebody's life.

19
00:01:17.091 --> 00:01:18.531
 Yeah, for a dollar bet.

20
00:01:18.531 --> 00:01:19.231
 With Eddie Murphy.

21
00:01:19.231 --> 00:01:19.871
 Yeah.

22
00:01:19.871 --> 00:01:27.271
 There's apparently a show coming out with Yusuf Rami, Steve Carell.

23
00:01:27.271 --> 00:01:31.171
 There's like, basically, they play the four richest billionaires in the world.

24
00:01:31.171 --> 00:01:34.851
 And they're at a retreat, like in the mountains somewhere.

25
00:01:34.851 --> 00:01:38.831
 And it basically just shows them basically, _______ with the world.

26
00:01:38.831 --> 00:01:41.411
 Messing with the world's economy.

27
00:01:41.411 --> 00:01:42.571
 The world is their plaything.

28
00:01:42.571 --> 00:01:43.171
 Exactly.

29
00:01:43.171 --> 00:01:45.951
 Doing whatever they want and watching how it unfolds.

30
00:01:45.951 --> 00:01:47.071
 And basically, just having a good time.

31
00:01:47.131 --> 00:01:48.191
 Having a hoo-ha about it.

32
00:01:48.191 --> 00:01:49.451
 Don't they...

33
00:01:49.451 --> 00:01:53.171
 Isn't there talk of some kind of a thing?

34
00:01:53.171 --> 00:01:56.511
 The Skull and Crossbones does something like that?

35
00:01:56.511 --> 00:01:57.371
 Oh, I don't know.

36
00:01:57.371 --> 00:02:01.371
 Once a year they have a retreat in an island that nobody can get to.

37
00:02:01.371 --> 00:02:04.211
 Yeah, I've heard about stuff like that, too.

38
00:02:04.211 --> 00:02:04.971
 Yeah.

39
00:02:04.971 --> 00:02:06.131
 Interesting, isn't it?

40
00:02:06.131 --> 00:02:06.651
 Mm-hmm.

41
00:02:06.651 --> 00:02:10.611
 Kind of scary if you think about it, if it's true.

42
00:02:10.611 --> 00:02:13.691
 Nobody should have that kind of power.

43
00:02:13.691 --> 00:02:16.151
 Nobody should, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

44
00:02:16.151 --> 00:02:16.671
 Mm-hmm.

45
00:02:16.671 --> 00:02:18.491
 That's what's scary about it.

46
00:02:18.491 --> 00:02:19.131
 Mm-hmm.

47
00:02:19.131 --> 00:02:22.331
 So, I mean, if people were...

48
00:02:22.331 --> 00:02:26.231
 If people talked about it, it's probably happened.

49
00:02:26.231 --> 00:02:27.171
 Mm-hmm.

50
00:02:27.171 --> 00:02:33.651
 In this case, I can't say that he's tasked with tanking it.

51
00:02:33.651 --> 00:02:37.571
 I think it's just stupid, stupidity on him.

52
00:02:37.571 --> 00:02:38.111
 Yeah.

53
00:02:38.111 --> 00:02:41.291
 It seems like he was the one that lost the bet.

54
00:02:41.291 --> 00:02:42.431
 Well, no.

55
00:02:42.431 --> 00:02:46.051
 That he could just do with it what he wants.

56
00:02:46.051 --> 00:02:46.311
 Mm-hmm.

57
00:02:46.311 --> 00:02:46.531
 Mm-hmm.

58
00:02:46.531 --> 00:02:50.531
 He doesn't care if he loses it, if everybody loses their platform or not.

59
00:02:50.531 --> 00:02:51.071
 Yeah.

60
00:02:51.071 --> 00:02:54.431
 I mean, do you think that he actually...

61
00:02:54.431 --> 00:02:56.071
 It doesn't really matter when you get that rich.

62
00:02:56.071 --> 00:03:00.891
 I mean, he really couldn't spend that money for the rest of his life.

63
00:03:00.891 --> 00:03:04.531
 I remember...

64
00:03:04.531 --> 00:03:07.531
 It was probably a YouTube video...

65
00:03:07.531 --> 00:03:08.591
 Okay.

66
00:03:08.591 --> 00:03:10.531
 ...about the obscenely rich.

67
00:03:10.531 --> 00:03:11.051
 Okay.

68
00:03:11.051 --> 00:03:14.391
 And one of the examples they used was Bill Gates.

69
00:03:14.391 --> 00:03:14.771
 Okay.

70
00:03:14.771 --> 00:03:15.211
 Yeah.

71
00:03:15.211 --> 00:03:16.371
 Now, I think Bill Gates...

72
00:03:16.371 --> 00:03:21.491
 Bill Gates was pretty responsible with all of his money, but that was the example they

73
00:03:21.491 --> 00:03:21.671
 gave.

74
00:03:21.671 --> 00:03:28.851
 They said that if he was walking down the street and $1,000 bills were falling out of

75
00:03:28.851 --> 00:03:29.611
 his pockets...

76
00:03:29.611 --> 00:03:29.971
 It'd be worth it.

77
00:03:29.971 --> 00:03:33.391
 ...it wouldn't be worth his time to bend over and pick them up.

78
00:03:33.391 --> 00:03:33.731
 Yeah.

79
00:03:33.731 --> 00:03:34.491
 I believe it.

80
00:03:34.491 --> 00:03:36.451
 I'll follow them around all day long.

81
00:03:36.451 --> 00:03:38.671
 I have no question.

82
00:03:38.671 --> 00:03:41.551
 Rain, sleet, snow, or shine, I'll be right there behind them.

83
00:03:41.551 --> 00:03:44.251
 I don't care if he farted in my face.

84
00:03:44.251 --> 00:03:46.251
 I'd be happy to pick that $1,000 bill up.

85
00:03:46.251 --> 00:03:47.251
 That's...

86
00:03:47.251 --> 00:03:48.251
 Yeah.

87
00:03:48.251 --> 00:03:53.251
 But, yeah, I mean, it's just...

88
00:03:53.251 --> 00:03:56.531
 I can't imagine being that rich.

89
00:03:56.531 --> 00:03:58.271
 Just...

90
00:03:58.271 --> 00:04:00.271
 And then there's people starving in the world.

91
00:04:00.271 --> 00:04:00.831
 Mm-hmm.

92
00:04:00.831 --> 00:04:03.531
 Living filth amongst filth.

93
00:04:03.531 --> 00:04:04.051
 You know what I mean?

94
00:04:04.051 --> 00:04:06.911
 Like, we say our poor have it bad.

95
00:04:06.911 --> 00:04:12.671
 I mean, you go to third world countries, like Africa, you know, people live on $1 a week.

96
00:04:12.671 --> 00:04:14.211
 You know what I mean?

97
00:04:14.211 --> 00:04:16.211
 Like, people who live off of garbage.

98
00:04:17.211 --> 00:04:17.571
 Yeah.

99
00:04:17.571 --> 00:04:18.431
 You know what I mean?

100
00:04:18.431 --> 00:04:18.791
 Yeah.

101
00:04:18.791 --> 00:04:21.231
 So, it's kind of sad when you think about it.

102
00:04:21.231 --> 00:04:25.991
 But the world has been like that ever since there's been people.

103
00:04:25.991 --> 00:04:27.431
 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

104
00:04:27.431 --> 00:04:28.171
 I know.

105
00:04:28.171 --> 00:04:29.311
 I know.

106
00:04:29.311 --> 00:04:33.391
 I don't think the two of us can fix it here on this podcast.

107
00:04:33.391 --> 00:04:34.791
 Oh, I thought that's what we were doing.

108
00:04:34.791 --> 00:04:35.931
 Okay.

109
00:04:35.931 --> 00:04:44.531
 When the Large Hadron Collider was switched on, it skewed us into an alternate reality

110
00:04:44.531 --> 00:04:45.931
 which is a bizarre parallelism.

111
00:04:45.931 --> 00:04:47.211
 It's a bizarre parody of the world.

112
00:04:47.211 --> 00:04:51.131
 That's kind of scary.

113
00:04:51.131 --> 00:04:52.211
 This is a parody of the world.

114
00:04:52.211 --> 00:04:53.191
 It seems true.

115
00:04:53.191 --> 00:04:53.931
 Yeah.

116
00:04:53.931 --> 00:04:55.731
 Yeah.

117
00:04:55.731 --> 00:04:57.891
 But...

118
00:04:57.891 --> 00:05:01.131
 I mean, things are just crazy.

119
00:05:01.131 --> 00:05:01.691
 Mm-hmm.

120
00:05:01.691 --> 00:05:08.411
 I mean, even on the usual levels of crazy, it's crazier than...

121
00:05:08.411 --> 00:05:09.251
 Crazier than normal.

122
00:05:09.251 --> 00:05:11.631
 Yeah, crazier than past craziness.

123
00:05:11.631 --> 00:05:12.471
 Mm-hmm.

124
00:05:12.471 --> 00:05:14.471
 Well, that's what happens when you...

125
00:05:14.471 --> 00:05:19.771
 put someone in an office that looks like a gecko.

126
00:05:19.771 --> 00:05:21.271
 You give people a choice.

127
00:05:21.271 --> 00:05:22.191
 They choose wrong.

128
00:05:22.191 --> 00:05:23.251
 Yeah, exactly.

129
00:05:23.251 --> 00:05:25.351
 All right.

130
00:05:25.351 --> 00:05:27.651
 I have said this before, and I'll say it again.

131
00:05:27.651 --> 00:05:32.811
 Donald Trump is the Boaty McBoat face of politics.

132
00:05:32.811 --> 00:05:33.231
 Yeah.

133
00:05:33.231 --> 00:05:33.871
 Oh, yeah.

134
00:05:33.871 --> 00:05:35.171
 Without a doubt.

135
00:05:35.171 --> 00:05:36.131
 Hands down.

136
00:05:36.131 --> 00:05:38.491
 Winning by a mile in that.

137
00:05:38.491 --> 00:05:39.411
 So...

138
00:05:39.411 --> 00:05:43.111
 Jeffrey Epstein did not commit suicide in prison.

139
00:05:43.111 --> 00:05:44.431
 I don't think this is...

140
00:05:44.431 --> 00:05:45.091
 This is a new one.

141
00:05:45.091 --> 00:05:45.951
 No, I don't think so.

142
00:05:45.951 --> 00:05:47.011
 Didn't he die, like, five years ago?

143
00:05:47.011 --> 00:05:48.111
 Something like that, yeah.

144
00:05:48.111 --> 00:05:51.051
 So why do they think he didn't commit suicide?

145
00:05:51.051 --> 00:05:52.411
 Why did...

146
00:05:52.411 --> 00:05:55.731
 Oh, I think the idea is that he was...

147
00:05:55.731 --> 00:05:56.551
 Someone murdered.

148
00:05:56.551 --> 00:05:57.171
 ...murdered.

149
00:05:57.171 --> 00:05:57.671
 Oh, okay.

150
00:05:57.671 --> 00:05:58.191
 ...on suicide.

151
00:05:58.191 --> 00:06:00.631
 To cover up who was actually on his island?

152
00:06:00.631 --> 00:06:04.871
 I suppose it's also possible they could be saying that he's not dead,

153
00:06:04.871 --> 00:06:08.591
 and he secreted himself away to some island somewhere.

154
00:06:08.591 --> 00:06:08.871
 Yeah.

155
00:06:08.871 --> 00:06:10.971
 But...

156
00:06:10.971 --> 00:06:14.411
 I can definitely see him committing suicide.

157
00:06:14.411 --> 00:06:15.111
 Committing suicide.

158
00:06:15.111 --> 00:06:18.851
 Because that was a man who lived in the lap of luxury.

159
00:06:18.851 --> 00:06:19.511
 Oh, yeah.

160
00:06:19.511 --> 00:06:22.571
 He had three massages a day.

161
00:06:22.571 --> 00:06:23.371
 Really?

162
00:06:23.371 --> 00:06:24.611
 Wow.

163
00:06:24.611 --> 00:06:26.411
 And then to go from that to prison,

164
00:06:26.411 --> 00:06:30.291
 where you have no privileges and no control.

165
00:06:30.291 --> 00:06:31.451
 Yeah, or anything.

166
00:06:31.451 --> 00:06:32.671
 Oh, good.

167
00:06:32.671 --> 00:06:35.091
 I could see that driving him to suicide.

168
00:06:35.091 --> 00:06:36.031
 Oh, good.

169
00:06:36.031 --> 00:06:37.411
 I mean, it saves taxpayers money.

170
00:06:37.411 --> 00:06:38.591
 I mean...

171
00:06:38.591 --> 00:06:43.931
 I mean, there's one thing I don't really have any pity for,

172
00:06:43.931 --> 00:06:44.251
 is...

173
00:06:44.251 --> 00:06:45.971
 people who commit sexual assault.

174
00:06:45.971 --> 00:06:46.351
 Hmm.

175
00:06:46.351 --> 00:06:48.371
 Especially on...

176
00:06:48.371 --> 00:06:50.291
 You pity me all the time.

177
00:06:50.291 --> 00:06:51.631
 Oh, shut up.

178
00:06:51.631 --> 00:06:57.951
 But, you know, preying on teenage girls and stuff like that,

179
00:06:57.951 --> 00:06:58.891
 that's just disgusting.

180
00:06:58.891 --> 00:07:00.251
 You know what I mean?

181
00:07:00.251 --> 00:07:04.351
 Just another case of the rich thinking they can get away with anything they want.

182
00:07:04.351 --> 00:07:04.671
 Yeah.

183
00:07:04.671 --> 00:07:05.571
 Pretty much.

184
00:07:05.571 --> 00:07:06.791
 And he almost did.

185
00:07:06.791 --> 00:07:10.471
 Fortunately, he was caught.

186
00:07:10.471 --> 00:07:11.451
 Yep.

187
00:07:11.451 --> 00:07:13.791
 I'll bet there's a whole lot of...

188
00:07:13.791 --> 00:07:17.291
 a lot of men out there who are quaking in their boats,

189
00:07:17.291 --> 00:07:18.631
 in their boots,

190
00:07:18.631 --> 00:07:20.931
 hoping that they're not the next.

191
00:07:20.931 --> 00:07:21.691
 Mm-hmm.

192
00:07:21.691 --> 00:07:25.551
 Because give somebody power and they'll abuse it.

193
00:07:25.551 --> 00:07:26.591
 Yeah, exactly.

194
00:07:26.591 --> 00:07:29.791
 But, yeah, um...

195
00:07:29.791 --> 00:07:32.431
 Yeah, I mean, there's no love lost there.

196
00:07:32.431 --> 00:07:38.571
 You know, I think it'd be interesting to actually read the list

197
00:07:38.571 --> 00:07:43.431
 or read the list of the island and see if it's non-redacted, though.

198
00:07:43.431 --> 00:07:45.691
 Actually, but we'll never see it.

199
00:07:45.691 --> 00:07:47.511
 I don't understand a word you just said.

200
00:07:47.511 --> 00:07:52.011
 Jeffrey Epstein, the reason people are in uproar about him committing suicide,

201
00:07:52.011 --> 00:07:56.071
 they wanted him on trial because there's a list of how many people have been on the island.

202
00:07:56.071 --> 00:07:57.931
 His quote-unquote island.

203
00:07:57.931 --> 00:08:00.431
 And they wanted to know...

204
00:08:00.431 --> 00:08:02.471
 Yes, who's been on the island.

205
00:08:02.471 --> 00:08:05.471
 And there's been rumors about the rich of the rich.

206
00:08:05.471 --> 00:08:10.791
 That's kind of a sick, kinky thing to want to know.

207
00:08:10.791 --> 00:08:13.351
 Well, people want to know who to go after.

208
00:08:13.351 --> 00:08:17.951
 Like, who's there committing sexual assault with you?

209
00:08:17.951 --> 00:08:19.351
 Who's partaking in these...

210
00:08:19.351 --> 00:08:21.211
 Oh, okay.

211
00:08:21.211 --> 00:08:23.071
 I thought you were talking about the victims.

212
00:08:23.071 --> 00:08:24.431
 No, no, no.

213
00:08:24.431 --> 00:08:25.091
 Why would I give...

214
00:08:25.091 --> 00:08:28.431
 You want to know who the other sexual molesters were.

215
00:08:28.431 --> 00:08:30.591
 No, I keep the victims quiet.

216
00:08:30.591 --> 00:08:32.991
 You know, I keep them John Does and stuff like that.

217
00:08:32.991 --> 00:08:33.391
 But, yeah.

218
00:08:33.391 --> 00:08:37.711
 No, find out who the predators are.

219
00:08:37.711 --> 00:08:39.851
 Blast their names everywhere.

220
00:08:39.851 --> 00:08:43.151
 Yeah, but he not only committed suicide, he probably had a lot of help.

221
00:08:43.151 --> 00:08:45.151
 Yeah, so...

222
00:08:45.151 --> 00:08:54.711
 Depicting AI as an existential threat is primarily intended to produce legislation that restricts technology.

223
00:08:54.711 --> 00:09:00.391
 I don't know.

224
00:09:00.391 --> 00:09:00.971
 What do you think?

225
00:09:00.971 --> 00:09:09.331
 I can see point A and I can see point B, but I don't know about getting from one to the other.

226
00:09:09.331 --> 00:09:12.791
 I mean, it sounds good.

227
00:09:12.851 --> 00:09:14.171
 It sounds good to make up a story.

228
00:09:14.171 --> 00:09:17.731
 No, I'd be a little nervous all of a sudden.

229
00:09:17.731 --> 00:09:22.271
 This stock called SkyNet blew up all of a sudden.

230
00:09:22.271 --> 00:09:26.671
 You can buy it real cheap or something like that, but...

231
00:09:26.671 --> 00:09:33.551
 Our country does have a history of trying to legislate out science.

232
00:09:33.551 --> 00:09:34.711
 Oh, really?

233
00:09:34.711 --> 00:09:42.791
 I mean, the only time scientists were really held in large regard was during the moon landing.

234
00:09:43.411 --> 00:09:43.691
 Okay.

235
00:09:43.691 --> 00:09:46.091
 Not even during the Manhattan Project?

236
00:09:46.091 --> 00:09:48.491
 Possibly.

237
00:09:48.491 --> 00:09:48.991
 Okay.

238
00:09:48.991 --> 00:09:56.171
 But the big industries, I think they fear science as much as they use it.

239
00:09:56.171 --> 00:09:56.891
 Oh, yeah.

240
00:09:56.891 --> 00:09:57.371
 Yeah.

241
00:09:57.371 --> 00:10:00.451
 Well, there should be healthy fear of it when it comes to certain things.

242
00:10:00.451 --> 00:10:01.031
 Mm-hmm.

243
00:10:01.031 --> 00:10:03.311
 So...

244
00:10:03.311 --> 00:10:06.451
 Yeah, always go after the intellectuals first.

245
00:10:06.451 --> 00:10:07.231
 Yeah.

246
00:10:07.231 --> 00:10:09.551
 They're the ones who are going to question things.

247
00:10:09.551 --> 00:10:10.271
 Mm-hmm.

248
00:10:10.271 --> 00:10:12.131
 Okay.

249
00:10:12.131 --> 00:10:16.371
 Um, Bigfoot has the ability to camouflage like an octopus.

250
00:10:16.371 --> 00:10:18.111
 Now, that is a new one.

251
00:10:18.111 --> 00:10:20.391
 I've never heard of that before, and it's very interesting.

252
00:10:20.391 --> 00:10:29.051
 I've heard that people say that Bigfoot can turn invisible, which is sort of related, I guess.

253
00:10:29.051 --> 00:10:29.671
 Mm-hmm.

254
00:10:29.671 --> 00:10:35.151
 But they're thinking, you know, they can turn invisible like the predators on Alien.

255
00:10:35.151 --> 00:10:36.611
 Mm, okay.

256
00:10:36.611 --> 00:10:41.391
 The idea that it can morph its body to...

257
00:10:41.391 --> 00:10:47.111
 To blend into the background like an octopus does, it's a cute theory.

258
00:10:47.111 --> 00:10:48.451
 Yeah, it's neat.

259
00:10:48.451 --> 00:10:49.111
 It's a...

260
00:10:49.111 --> 00:10:56.051
 And, you know, unless they can catch one and do an autopsy or something...

261
00:10:56.051 --> 00:10:57.751
 How would you know or find out?

262
00:10:57.751 --> 00:10:59.611
 Because...

263
00:10:59.611 --> 00:11:03.471
 I mean, that's just a fascinating conspiracy theory.

264
00:11:03.471 --> 00:11:04.331
 Yeah, it is pretty cool.

265
00:11:04.331 --> 00:11:07.431
 It'd be wild if you actually saw it happen.

266
00:11:07.431 --> 00:11:10.111
 You know, a couple of guys saw...

267
00:11:10.111 --> 00:11:14.631
 a Bigfoot here in Kansas just last week.

268
00:11:14.631 --> 00:11:15.231
 Oh, really?

269
00:11:15.231 --> 00:11:17.791
 Was there extra fentanyl in their pills, or...

270
00:11:17.791 --> 00:11:22.791
 Um, and apparently it was on...

271
00:11:22.791 --> 00:11:28.451
 It was walking along a fence, on the inside of a fence.

272
00:11:28.451 --> 00:11:28.791
 Okay.

273
00:11:28.791 --> 00:11:37.111
 And the property owner is very, very adamant that nobody's going to go on their property and investigate, or...

274
00:11:37.111 --> 00:11:37.411
 Really?

275
00:11:37.411 --> 00:11:39.991
 Well, they probably don't want it to turn into...

276
00:11:39.991 --> 00:11:41.391
 Into a clown circus.

277
00:11:41.391 --> 00:11:42.331
 Yeah, probably.

278
00:11:42.331 --> 00:11:43.871
 They've got a business to run.

279
00:11:43.871 --> 00:11:44.371
 Yeah.

280
00:11:44.371 --> 00:11:46.851
 That's interesting, though.

281
00:11:46.851 --> 00:11:49.971
 I mean, there's no pictures or anything like that of it, just...

282
00:11:49.971 --> 00:11:50.831
 Apparently not.

283
00:11:50.831 --> 00:11:52.031
 Yeah, that sucks.

284
00:11:52.031 --> 00:12:00.131
 And it doesn't matter if you take a picture of Bigfoot anyway, because everybody knows Bigfoot in reality is blurry.

285
00:12:00.131 --> 00:12:04.051
 You're such a dork.

286
00:12:04.051 --> 00:12:07.671
 You just sit there all smug, too.

287
00:12:07.671 --> 00:12:08.951
 God.

288
00:12:08.951 --> 00:12:11.911
 Yeah, good thing you're cute.

289
00:12:11.911 --> 00:12:14.971
 The moon is hollow.

290
00:12:14.971 --> 00:12:16.711
 Well, yeah, of course.

291
00:12:16.711 --> 00:12:18.991
 That's why you've got holes in it like cheese.

292
00:12:18.991 --> 00:12:21.211
 You didn't know that?

293
00:12:21.211 --> 00:12:23.491
 Just like the Earth's flat.

294
00:12:23.491 --> 00:12:27.071
 I don't know if this is new.

295
00:12:27.071 --> 00:12:29.911
 Maybe it's just one of those that's come around again.

296
00:12:29.911 --> 00:12:30.951
 Yeah, I don't...

297
00:12:30.951 --> 00:12:37.951
 Um, when they landed on the moon, they left behind...

298
00:12:37.951 --> 00:12:39.451
 They left behind experiments.

299
00:12:39.451 --> 00:12:40.051
 Okay.

300
00:12:40.051 --> 00:12:46.051
 And some of them were seismic, so they could tell if there were any moonquakes, like there were earthquakes.

301
00:12:46.051 --> 00:12:59.191
 But a couple of them, they also set off, like, an explosion to test how fast the sound waves went to the different sensors that they left behind.

302
00:12:59.191 --> 00:13:04.271
 And they said the moon rang like a bell for six days.

303
00:13:04.271 --> 00:13:04.871
 Really?

304
00:13:04.871 --> 00:13:06.131
 Hmm.

305
00:13:07.631 --> 00:13:08.071
 Interesting.

306
00:13:08.071 --> 00:13:10.911
 So, it is hollow, then?

307
00:13:10.911 --> 00:13:12.171
 Who knows?

308
00:13:12.171 --> 00:13:16.111
 It's another good one that, um, I mean, it could be true.

309
00:13:16.111 --> 00:13:16.631
 Mm-hmm.

310
00:13:16.631 --> 00:13:19.271
 Probably not, but how would you find out?

311
00:13:19.271 --> 00:13:21.651
 How would you find out until you try to start digging into it?

312
00:13:21.651 --> 00:13:22.051
 Mm-hmm.

313
00:13:22.051 --> 00:13:22.971
 That's interesting.

314
00:13:22.971 --> 00:13:26.371
 And what does it matter if it's hollow or not?

315
00:13:26.371 --> 00:13:31.331
 Well, there's got to be some scientific reason for it.

316
00:13:31.331 --> 00:13:32.211
 Well, yeah.

317
00:13:32.211 --> 00:13:37.311
 I mean, there's people out there saying that it's an alien base, and they actually constructed it.

318
00:13:37.311 --> 00:13:39.171
 To keep eyes on us, or...

319
00:13:39.171 --> 00:13:39.511
 Mm-hmm.

320
00:13:39.511 --> 00:13:39.831
 Okay.

321
00:13:39.831 --> 00:13:41.691
 Something nefarious.

322
00:13:41.691 --> 00:13:42.291
 Mm-hmm.

323
00:13:42.291 --> 00:13:44.791
 Look at me pulling out the big words.

324
00:13:44.791 --> 00:13:46.211
 How many letters can I...

325
00:13:46.211 --> 00:13:48.471
 How many numbers can I get and scrabble for that?

326
00:13:48.471 --> 00:13:52.151
 All right.

327
00:13:52.151 --> 00:13:59.291
 JFK's shot came from behind because of a Secret Service agent fumbling with a gun while trying to return fire.

328
00:13:59.291 --> 00:14:01.751
 Never heard of this.

329
00:14:01.751 --> 00:14:02.191
 Another good one.

330
00:14:02.191 --> 00:14:03.651
 That's interesting, but...

331
00:14:03.651 --> 00:14:04.351
 And it's new.

332
00:14:06.991 --> 00:14:18.271
 The autopsies of the president indicated that the bullet came from behind.

333
00:14:18.271 --> 00:14:18.971
 Okay.

334
00:14:18.971 --> 00:14:28.311
 And the Warren Commission went into all kinds of crazy acrobatics trying to figure out how it would go through Governor Connolly,

335
00:14:28.311 --> 00:14:36.631
 and then ricochet back and forth to go in his head and out his head again and up his spine.

336
00:14:36.631 --> 00:14:36.951
 Mm-hmm.

337
00:14:36.951 --> 00:14:36.971
 Mm-hmm.

338
00:14:36.971 --> 00:14:39.231
 And the circus acted, yeah.

339
00:14:39.231 --> 00:14:44.991
 This theory that a Secret Service agent hit him by accident makes a lot more sense.

340
00:14:44.991 --> 00:14:45.491
 Yeah.

341
00:14:45.491 --> 00:14:48.931
 I didn't see that or anything, so that'd be interesting, though.

342
00:14:48.931 --> 00:14:49.931
 Mm-hmm.

343
00:14:49.931 --> 00:14:52.571
 I mean, how do you explain that to your boss?

344
00:14:52.571 --> 00:14:59.831
 And it's amazing how, no matter how old the conspiracy, they can still come up with new theories.

345
00:14:59.831 --> 00:14:59.971
 Yeah.

346
00:14:59.971 --> 00:15:00.791
 Yeah.

347
00:15:00.791 --> 00:15:03.971
 Well, didn't they just release everything on it, finally?

348
00:15:03.971 --> 00:15:06.231
 Yeah, I don't think anybody really found anything.

349
00:15:06.231 --> 00:15:06.671
 Yeah.

350
00:15:06.671 --> 00:15:06.931
 I don't know.

351
00:15:06.931 --> 00:15:07.211
 I don't know.

352
00:15:07.211 --> 00:15:13.571
 The only article I saw about it was about when the Trump president did it.

353
00:15:13.571 --> 00:15:14.331
 Mm-hmm.

354
00:15:14.331 --> 00:15:16.891
 Nothing about what they found.

355
00:15:16.891 --> 00:15:17.271
 Yeah.

356
00:15:17.271 --> 00:15:18.171
 Hmm.

357
00:15:18.171 --> 00:15:20.791
 And I would think there'd be people pouring over those papers.

358
00:15:20.791 --> 00:15:21.471
 Oh, yeah.

359
00:15:21.471 --> 00:15:26.331
 Unless they're trying to hide something up, or there's just really nothing to say.

360
00:15:26.331 --> 00:15:31.031
 Or the official record has been altered and we'll never know.

361
00:15:31.031 --> 00:15:32.491
 Yeah, that's true, too.

362
00:15:32.491 --> 00:15:34.571
 Speaking of conspiracy theories.

363
00:15:34.571 --> 00:15:35.651
 What's that?

364
00:15:35.651 --> 00:15:36.891
 What's that?

365
00:15:36.891 --> 00:15:37.791
 What did I just say?

366
00:15:37.791 --> 00:15:39.651
 Speaking of conspiracy theories.

367
00:15:39.651 --> 00:15:45.971
 All right.

368
00:15:45.971 --> 00:15:51.351
 The government won't regulate guns because they want minorities to keep killing each other.

369
00:15:51.351 --> 00:15:53.191
 This has been around for a long time.

370
00:15:53.191 --> 00:15:54.271
 No, it is.

371
00:15:54.271 --> 00:15:54.851
 Yeah.

372
00:15:54.851 --> 00:15:56.551
 It's not something I heard.

373
00:15:56.551 --> 00:15:56.791
 Yeah.

374
00:15:56.791 --> 00:16:01.071
 Well, I mean, they've been saying this for, like, social movements and stuff like that.

375
00:16:01.071 --> 00:16:03.471
 That's the way the man keeps minorities down.

376
00:16:03.471 --> 00:16:04.691
 You know what I mean?

377
00:16:04.691 --> 00:16:06.851
 Kind of like putting Musk in charge.

378
00:16:06.851 --> 00:16:09.471
 In charge of Twitter, to keep people from organizing.

379
00:16:09.471 --> 00:16:09.951
 Yeah.

380
00:16:09.951 --> 00:16:10.611
 Yeah.

381
00:16:10.611 --> 00:16:12.131
 It's a way to keep the man down.

382
00:16:12.131 --> 00:16:12.631
 You know what I mean?

383
00:16:12.631 --> 00:16:14.271
 Keep us down and stuff like that.

384
00:16:14.271 --> 00:16:16.991
 Well, I had no idea that was an old theory.

385
00:16:16.991 --> 00:16:17.511
 Mm-hmm.

386
00:16:17.511 --> 00:16:25.511
 It's just like you hear, like, you know, they'll put liquor stores in high-crime, low-income areas to keep people...

387
00:16:25.511 --> 00:16:27.311
 Oh, keep them drunk all the time.

388
00:16:27.311 --> 00:16:28.151
 Keep them drunk all the time.

389
00:16:28.151 --> 00:16:28.591
 Keep them...

390
00:16:28.591 --> 00:16:31.411
 So why don't they sell the alcohol and the guns together?

391
00:16:31.411 --> 00:16:33.651
 They probably tried.

392
00:16:33.651 --> 00:16:35.971
 I mean, they probably...

393
00:16:35.971 --> 00:16:36.811
 If they could get away with it...

394
00:16:36.811 --> 00:16:37.651
 If they could get away with it, they probably would.

395
00:16:37.651 --> 00:16:38.371
 Mm-hmm.

396
00:16:38.371 --> 00:16:44.231
 I remember my aunt and uncle had a liquor store.

397
00:16:44.231 --> 00:16:54.251
 And they also had a drink shop that was in the parking lot in front of it.

398
00:16:54.251 --> 00:16:58.271
 Because legally you couldn't sell alcohol and...

399
00:16:58.271 --> 00:16:59.351
 And mixers in the same...

400
00:16:59.351 --> 00:17:01.191
 And ice in the same place.

401
00:17:01.191 --> 00:17:01.371
 Yeah.

402
00:17:01.371 --> 00:17:06.771
 And I think the main business that the mix shop had was...

403
00:17:06.771 --> 00:17:10.291
 Was selling pornography, because that was also illegal.

404
00:17:10.291 --> 00:17:11.131
 Mm-hmm.

405
00:17:11.131 --> 00:17:25.011
 There was one day this wino came in who just smelled awful and wanted to buy the cheapest wine they had and was a few pennies short.

406
00:17:25.011 --> 00:17:25.631
 Mm-hmm.

407
00:17:25.631 --> 00:17:33.011
 And he thought about reaching in his pocket and paying the rest of it just to get the guy out of there.

408
00:17:33.011 --> 00:17:33.411
 Right.

409
00:17:33.411 --> 00:17:36.731
 But then he thought, no, that it is illegal.

410
00:17:36.731 --> 00:17:37.831
 It's illegal for me to do that.

411
00:17:37.831 --> 00:17:38.151
 Mm-hmm.

412
00:17:38.151 --> 00:17:39.051
 I'm not going to do that.

413
00:17:39.051 --> 00:17:40.511
 And told him to get out of there.

414
00:17:40.511 --> 00:17:40.851
 Mm-hmm.

415
00:17:40.851 --> 00:17:48.291
 And then the next day, all the other liquor stores had been shut down by the alcohol...

416
00:17:48.291 --> 00:17:48.811
 It was ABC.

417
00:17:48.811 --> 00:17:54.991
 Because the same guy did the same thing to them and they gave in and...

418
00:17:54.991 --> 00:17:55.631
 It was a setup.

419
00:17:55.631 --> 00:17:56.271
 They paid it, yeah.

420
00:17:56.271 --> 00:17:57.871
 Well, that sucks.

421
00:17:57.871 --> 00:18:00.551
 But, hey, you know what?

422
00:18:00.551 --> 00:18:01.951
 You're going to play around.

423
00:18:01.951 --> 00:18:03.071
 Mm-hmm.

424
00:18:03.071 --> 00:18:03.891
 You know what I mean?

425
00:18:03.891 --> 00:18:05.471
 So, this can happen.

426
00:18:05.471 --> 00:18:06.691
 If that's the playground...

427
00:18:06.691 --> 00:18:08.151
 If that's what you want, then you've got to play by those rules.

428
00:18:08.151 --> 00:18:09.451
 Play by those rules, exactly.

429
00:18:09.451 --> 00:18:09.951
 Mm-hmm.

430
00:18:09.951 --> 00:18:12.271
 So, all right.

431
00:18:12.271 --> 00:18:15.271
 When...

432
00:18:15.271 --> 00:18:16.431
 Let me read this one.

433
00:18:16.431 --> 00:18:18.311
 Of course you want to read this one.

434
00:18:18.311 --> 00:18:25.031
 When my gallbladder burst, I died and I've been in hell ever since.

435
00:18:25.031 --> 00:18:27.551
 That's what it's like living with me, apparently.

436
00:18:27.551 --> 00:18:29.871
 And Trump.

437
00:18:29.871 --> 00:18:31.331
 And Trump, yes.

438
00:18:31.331 --> 00:18:33.211
 No, you better mean Trump.

439
00:18:33.211 --> 00:18:36.651
 Well, I think a lot of people...

440
00:18:36.651 --> 00:18:37.651
 A lot of people feel the same way.

441
00:18:37.651 --> 00:18:40.291
 They think that their gallbladder burst...

442
00:18:40.291 --> 00:18:42.411
 I think they feel like they're living in hell, too.

443
00:18:42.411 --> 00:18:43.091
 Mm-hmm.

444
00:18:43.091 --> 00:18:44.871
 So...

445
00:18:44.871 --> 00:18:45.971
 Well, Baehr, I'm sorry you...

446
00:18:45.971 --> 00:18:48.831
 I know that one was supposed to be fun, but it's not.

447
00:18:48.831 --> 00:18:49.791
 No, it's fun.

448
00:18:49.791 --> 00:18:51.071
 I think it's just me.

449
00:18:51.071 --> 00:18:51.991
 It's fun.

450
00:18:51.991 --> 00:18:53.351
 It's just fun making fun of...

451
00:18:53.351 --> 00:18:55.911
 Making it funny about me, saying you live in hell because of me.

452
00:18:55.911 --> 00:18:57.711
 So...

453
00:18:57.711 --> 00:18:59.171
 Well, Baehr, I know you don't live...

454
00:18:59.171 --> 00:18:59.571
 Well...

455
00:18:59.571 --> 00:19:01.131
 You're the one that makes hell bearable.

456
00:19:01.131 --> 00:19:01.791
 Oh, okay.

457
00:19:01.791 --> 00:19:02.691
 Well, that's sweet of you.

458
00:19:02.691 --> 00:19:03.151
 Thank you.

459
00:19:03.151 --> 00:19:05.491
 So, do you got a joke for us this week, though?

460
00:19:06.491 --> 00:19:10.011
 Did you know I won a sarcasm award in 2009?

461
00:19:10.011 --> 00:19:13.371
 No, I'm afraid to know.

462
00:19:13.371 --> 00:19:15.311
 No, I did not.

463
00:19:15.311 --> 00:19:19.031
 You're being sarcastic now.

464
00:19:19.031 --> 00:19:20.191
 No, no, I did not.

465
00:19:20.191 --> 00:19:22.071
 Get out of here.

466
00:19:22.071 --> 00:19:25.551
 So, you're being sarcastic now?

467
00:19:25.551 --> 00:19:27.191
 No.

468
00:19:27.191 --> 00:19:29.311
 So, did you win one or not?

469
00:19:29.311 --> 00:19:29.811
 No.

470
00:19:29.811 --> 00:19:31.771
 So, what's the joke?

471
00:19:31.771 --> 00:19:36.011
 You're being sarcastic now.

472
00:19:36.451 --> 00:19:39.151
 A sarcasm is a precious resource that too often goes wasted.

473
00:19:39.151 --> 00:19:40.211
 Get out of here.

474
00:19:47.871 --> 00:19:48.831
 This is Baehr.

475
00:19:48.831 --> 00:19:49.471
 This is Curadh.

476
00:19:49.471 --> 00:19:50.011
 Goodbye.

477
00:19:50.011 --> 00:19:50.391
 Goodbye.

478
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:55.940
