[Applause] [Music] [Applause] welcome welcome welcome welcome in welcome in don't let
00:00:28
the door hit you they say they're on the way in sometimes people say they're on the way in right I yeah if you want the
00:00:35
person to leave don't let the door hits you on the way in oh man what a what a week anytime you
00:00:45
go down a rabbit hole of aliens it's a week it is a week doing the the mash up this week mhm the
00:00:59
generation one my mashup so that should be interesting I was really hoping cuz when you when you think about
00:01:09
the the start of True Crime love right A lot of people especially around our age their their initial start of this
00:01:22
was Unsolved Mysteries right but one of the best things I liked about that show was
00:01:33
Bigfoot Lochness Monster was one of my favorites I I love looking at like all the images that people said were some
00:01:42
kind of monster mhm and then like I always thought it was so fascinating how they were they would
00:01:48
talk about how dark it was and and and there was all this other stuff because of um because of these chemicals in the
00:01:57
water it was it's a lot murkier than other water so it was always like this like Perfect Storm of why there could be
00:02:07
a a monster in the lake and I love those parts and then some of the alien stuff I I thought
00:02:15
those were fascinating so so talking with Justin this week I was really hoping that we could dive into something like
00:02:25
Area 51 or or some kind of um you know there's some cool connections to JFK and UFOs and I thought that we'd get to that
00:02:37
and we we didn't we didn't get to the any craziness but I did watch this well I started by listening to Joe
00:02:45
Rogan and and not just like on his podcast but just kind of flopping around on YouTube MH I want to I'm trying to
00:02:52
find what the actual well while you look for that um that's that's so cool cool that
00:03:00
you say that because that's really how I got into True Crime was not necessarily
00:03:06
wanting to get into True Crime when I was very little I had a big fascination with dinosaurs and then when somebody
00:03:14
tells you Loch Ness tells you the story of Loch NES you go holy [ __ ] yeah there's still some dinosaurs around at
00:03:21
least that's where my brain went to and I was like I wanted to learn everything I could about loch nest and then that's
00:03:28
why I tuned in into Unsolved Mysteries for the very first time when I watched it was because of that
00:03:35
lockness and then the Bigfoot stuff was so interesting as well as some of the alien stuff and then they would Mash in
00:03:44
True Crime they would have you know Unsolved Mysteries of murder mysteries or missing people or one one case they
00:03:51
always kind of covered it was like a theme that I find fascinating and nobody really I don't hear any stories of this
00:03:58
you know 30 years later now yeah and remember the Amnesia stories like there would be this person that just appeared
00:04:06
in some town somewhere and they don't know who they are or how they got there well well right but it's probably
00:04:13
because of our technology advancements well yeah and but I always found those ones fascinating and so I
00:04:22
spilled over into True Crime because I'm sitting there watching this this show and I'm going after a while you get a
00:04:30
little bit older and you start to look into like Loch Ness and Bigfoot and stuff like that and I don't want to I
00:04:35
don't want to piss in anybody's Cheerios here but at some point you go all right
00:04:39
well this is just this is just an unsolvable mystery you know and until they actually find a sea monster
00:04:48
somewhere or until right Bigfoot actually does beat somebody up over beef jerky we may never know and it may just
00:04:57
be myths and legends and really good stor and fascinating to think about but you know I got a little bit older and I
00:05:04
started thinking well as somebody who does not like Mysteries to remain unsolved right I had to move on and I'm
00:05:12
like whoa it was right there it was right there in front of me the whole time thanks to Robert Stack well you
00:05:18
know he it's not like he showed up and wrote the script or anything but uh we will give him 100% credit for that
00:05:25
fantastic show he talk cool yeah no but that what I love about about these I I would classify like 50 Area
00:05:35
51 conspiracy theory uh JFK assassination definitely conspiracy theory but I'd even say stuff
00:05:44
like Bigfoot and and possibly um some UFO stuff and and even Lochness I would kind of classify all under some kind of
00:05:55
conspiracy and to me conspiracy theories are they're very interesting but I think
00:06:03
there's like I think 90 some per of it is nonsense not saying that it's not true but I think it's just like it
00:06:10
doesn't matter and I think what I love to find is like one point of evidence that I can't explain
00:06:19
MH and so when then I'm talking to somebody uh and they're going well Bigfoot's not real I'll say well I don't
00:06:29
know if it's real or not but what but we but what we do know is there was an animal similar to this that lived years
00:06:39
and years ago so is it possible that some kind of relative or some kind of evolution of this
00:06:48
animal you know became something else a lot of people also think that they're like Time Travelers or or teleporters or
00:06:55
uh I love the shirts like um hideand-seek champion uh you know with Bigfoot but um but what's interesting is you you
00:07:05
have this I know there was a documentary that came out in the last few years and
00:07:10
this guy uncovered some footage that he gave to Canadian um Canada's government and
00:07:20
they basically said look we we don't know what this footage is and we can't say it's a hoax and we can't say it's
00:07:27
real cuz we don't really know what we're seeing and they they were able to pass a
00:07:34
law saying if this creature is real it is illegal to kill this creature and that's pretty interesting
00:07:43
cuz that's a a bigger form uh of government saying hey we don't know what this is
00:07:52
and this possibly could be real and so it's like whether you believe it or not that's an interesting
00:08:00
tidbit um so on YouTube it just likes to suggest things to you you know based on
00:08:07
what you've watched and I think the first clip I watched was the moment Bob Lazar knew he was dealing with something
00:08:18
alien and it's just a picture of Joe Joe's face and Bob lazar's face and I've never heard of Bob Lazar and I I started
00:08:28
diving into all these clips and then you then probably into some of these clips you start realizing
00:08:36
oh there's a documentary so there's this new documentary well it's not that new it's about a year old or
00:08:43
so uh it's called Bob Lazar Area 51 and flying saucers it's worth watching I think they try to make certain things a
00:08:53
little too artsy there's some scenes where it's like really bad sci-fi music andh and really bad pictures of like
00:09:01
planets and stuff and then a guy going they don't want us to know you know and talking and these like weird
00:09:09
riddles and stuff and and that stuff I thought was kind of hokey but the interviews of Bob Lazar at his kitchen
00:09:18
table are definitely fascinating and if you don't have time to watch the documentary I would definitely say check
00:09:25
if you're into like the unsolved mystery stuff and any type of alien UFO stuff i' definitely
00:09:32
recommend listening to this interview with Joe Rogan because basically this guy came out I believe in
00:09:41
1989 um he worked for a a unit of our government he made all these claims of what he saw what he was dealing
00:09:51
with and in the last 30 years or so a lot of his claims are now becoming true stuff that they thought were [ __ ]
00:10:01
before they're realizing this guy wasn't bullshitting and he has a very interesting take on stuff
00:10:09
because he he's not a he's not a UFO Watcher he's not he doesn't care he thinks he keeps kind of rehashing two
00:10:17
things one if this is proof of Life on another planet that this needs to be our government needs to come out and say we
00:10:28
have proof proof of that it's too big of a a fine for Humanity to not put it out
00:10:36
there and then deal with it um so that's his first thing and then the other thing
00:10:42
is that he thinks not everything but some of the technology that they know that they have and kind of understand
00:10:50
what they're dealing with that they should present that not in its entirety but to kind of
00:10:58
almost debrief the whole country oh by the way there's this thing that is creating gravity we don't know how to
00:11:04
create gravity you know there's there's the only way that we can do this is by uh creating bigger and bigger
00:11:12
masses so science doesn't have a way to just turn a switch on and and create gravity
00:11:21
so basically he's saying that some of these technologies that that he was working on and these other teams were
00:11:28
working on that the government should come out and say hey we're working we have we've seen this technology we
00:11:37
understand how it works but we don't know how to recreate it we don't know if we can create something that does that
00:11:43
uh you know he makes all these other claims that you know there was these um he claims that he saw like nine flying
00:11:50
songers that they were all different shapes and but his story is just really interesting how he you know he went to
00:11:59
Cal University then he went to MIT then he started working for this company and and then he starts you know pushing the
00:12:08
issue that he would like to work on some top secret stuff he gets in there he becomes a part of a team but everybody's
00:12:15
working on something different so they nobody really knows exactly what the other team is working on but they have
00:12:21
some debriefing of it and then you know they're monitoring him and he knows that they're monitoring
00:12:31
their calls they're monitoring their their mail their friends anything that they can monitor and some stuff is going
00:12:38
wrong with his personal life but he doesn't actually know that so they kind of chill him out like on bringing him on
00:12:45
because they're trying to figure out basically his his wife is having an affair and and they know that but he
00:12:52
doesn't so the whole idea was that they're like we're just not going to bring them into
00:12:57
work and we're going to wait for him to discover this and see how he reacts well he just doesn't really uh
00:13:06
Discover it so therefore he's going weeks and weeks without going to work and eventually he he starts getting
00:13:12
scared he actually thinks that maybe he did something wrong you know what if they try to eliminate him or whatever
00:13:19
that you know he could end up you know quote unquote dying in a car accident and people wouldn't know that he was
00:13:26
working on this top secret [ __ ] so he his idea was let me tell my friends so if something bad happens to me they kind
00:13:35
of know so he goes and tells a bunch of his friends of course they don't believe him
00:13:41
but what does he have he has a test schedule uh of when they test these these flying saucers so they end up
00:13:49
going out to this Lake watching a bunch of the test sites with some of his friends that he told what was going on
00:13:56
they try to videotape it you know that's of course back in the day there's you know really shitty VHS home re uh
00:14:05
recorders and then they are busted by busted going out there watching these test flights and then they bring them in
00:14:12
and then they explain to them well we weren't having you come in to work because your wife's having an affair and
00:14:18
we we need to make sure that you're going to be stable so I mean it's just uh it was it it was worth the watch uh
00:14:30
definitely the the if you're into the that part of Unsolved Mysteries well and his
00:14:37
claims are what they site you know that the internet a lot of websites will site
00:14:46
that his claims are what brought this area 51 to the to the knowledge of the of the
00:14:53
general public yeah which is factually just not true because of the the wreck AG of the the first crash of Area 51 was
00:15:04
that was kind of the main thing but it kind of died down so he was I thought that was
00:15:11
Roswell well yeah you have the crash at Roswell but I I think I don't I don't think Bob was the
00:15:20
first of the area 51 I it doesn't matter I'd have to look it up but that that's just what what I'm reading here
00:15:32
mhm lazar's claims resulted in bringing the secret area 51 site to the attention
00:15:37
of the public because they're saying he's stating that they were so he was he was tasked with doing
00:15:46
reverse engineering basically where meaning you you see a technology in use and then you have to try to figure out
00:15:56
how to replicate that mhm and his claims are that he was tasked with re reverse engineering alien technology basically
00:16:07
technology that we didn't have right and then we got it from extraterrestrials and therefore where
00:16:14
these where he's filming or viewing these flying saucers or UFOs or whatever you want to call them that this was
00:16:24
taking place at an area that he called S4 near the area 51 Groom Lake operating location right and there's also a Area
00:16:37
52 they talk about several times which that's one of the first times I've ever heard Area 52 I was like oh Area
00:16:48
52 um yeah and he talked about how they you know how they had to get access to their Badges and in the 80s when he made
00:16:56
these claims these machines that he was talking about that kind of measure your hands and measure your bone density and
00:17:02
all this stuff in your hands everybody just thought he was just making this up and that he was just you know crazy uh
00:17:11
but they've since been able to find some of these machines that he actually was talking about and they were uh the Lo
00:17:19
one of the locations that they found these were was Area 52 and they actually found a guy that worked for the
00:17:26
government uh repairing these things and he talked about how well we eventually replaced them because they were they
00:17:33
kind of broke all the time mhm but what's also interesting is how you know Bob makes all these claims
00:17:43
and then therefore they start his past starts disappearing his his birth certificate at some point disappears at
00:17:51
some point I I I think it's almost impossible to find out that Bob Lazar went to cow University it's almost
00:17:58
impossible to find that Bob went to MIT even though there's several people that Bob grew up with that can tell you
00:18:08
well I drove him to school or I was in class with him and so their claim is if he's lying about this well he went and
00:18:17
just you know why would he go to school for no credits and then lied that he had
00:18:24
had a degree later uh cuz they found severals you know not just at Cal University but also at MIT several
00:18:32
people that he went to school with now he won't bring these people up publicly anymore because when he does bad things
00:18:39
start happening to them and they also try to discredit what where he worked after um
00:18:48
MIT and it's so funny because that you know these investigators that that talk to Bob they're they're trying to
00:18:54
disprove his story and they're like yeah you talk to all these people that that worked there and they're like we have no
00:19:01
record of him but they found him in an employee directory you know from the years that
00:19:09
he he claimed that he worked there so it's like you you can lie all you want you can get rid of some records but if
00:19:15
you don't get rid of all the records and think about all the people that had directories that worked there and you
00:19:21
finally contact somebody that goes oh yeah I have an old directory and then you open it up and boom there's Bob
00:19:27
right there MH uh so that was one of the things but the other thing too was in his spare time he liked to work on on
00:19:35
Rockets so he would attach Rockets to cars and attach Rockets to to motorcycles and and this was a big hobby
00:19:44
of him one of the reasons why people think that the government wanted him to be a part of the reverse
00:19:50
engineering so it's uh what's fascinating though is this company saying he didn't work there but
00:19:59
you find him in a directory and then you also find him on the cover of one of their newsletters saying hey this great
00:20:06
engineer that works for us he has this really cool hobby uh and he also has these you know records that he's
00:20:12
broke because of his hobby at home so it's just but I I find that stuff just so fascinating that um here's this guy
00:20:22
that seems to be above level intelligence he he seems to be telling the truth there's evidence of what he's
00:20:31
saying and and there's evidence of people trying to disprove him and almost get rid of him um it's but it's
00:20:41
fascinating and then it really started making me wonder you know if they I I remember this years back but
00:20:51
they had a um do you ever see the Sasquatch in a box um well I don't even know what it is
00:21:00
it was somebody took like a basically a Sasquatch like costume and they put it in a box and it
00:21:10
was It was supposed to be that they found this dead Sasquatch on the side of the road or maybe this Sasquatch
00:21:17
attacked something and they shot it and for like I I remember it being on a couple news stations of we don't know if
00:21:26
this is real but this story has blowing up that a guy killed a Sasquatch and has
00:21:31
him in the Box mhm and it took a while but they you know obviously disproved it but it's like that day I remember going
00:21:42
oh [ __ ] maybe it's real and with this like Bob Lazar guy talking I go yeah could he be full of [ __ ] yeah
00:21:53
and he also talks about government's putting out uh disinformation right mhm and and so so then it makes
00:22:03
you start wondering is he a part of that is he a part of putting out some nonsense uh to the
00:22:11
public um or is he who not who he says he is right right or is it all a lie [Music]
00:22:21
and you know think about this way he some of the big things as far as like the how to get into the security
00:22:31
clearance to get past it and use these weird things that measure your hands and measure bones or whatever what if he was
00:22:38
a operator of one of those what if he was a Salesman of one of those you I mean like so he knew about this
00:22:46
technology that not many people used you know or or maybe he was a janitor at one
00:22:52
of these sites you know what I mean right he hasn't really changed much of his story I mean there was a story he
00:22:58
was telling that when he was walking through one of the hangers one day that he looked through and saw two guys
00:23:05
in lab coat and it looked like they were bending down looking at what this I kind of find this
00:23:13
uh funny cute but also at the same time scary as they called aliens quote unquote the
00:23:21
kids because he claims that the seats were so small and these rocket ships these flying saucers that that would
00:23:31
only kind of fit like a child right and so he but he claims back in the 80s he claimed or or early 90s when he he was
00:23:41
making a lot of these claims he was saying he saw two researchers looking down at and it looked like a seat of one
00:23:47
of the flying saucers with with one of the kids in there uh but he has s said that he thinks he did see what he saw
00:23:55
for a split second but it was more likely probably a dummy that they were putting to try to figure out what size
00:24:02
of person would fit in one of these chairs right but it's you know it's such a but it's that like I said it's that
00:24:12
it's not even if his story is true or not to me it's like it's the next step of when would a
00:24:20
government have to come out and say hey we know some [ __ ] and we've been hiding
00:24:25
it for a while but we know some [ __ ] and how you know cuz one of the friends I
00:24:30
was talking to about this was saying it'd be pure chaos and I I don't think it would be I
00:24:38
think it'd be I think there'd be some uh shock and I think people would be scared
00:24:43
and I think there'd be some Panic at first but then I think it kind of go back uh to the way things were you know
00:24:56
so but it's a you know F fascinating I and I I can't tell you if I believe in it one way or the other but I'm of the
00:25:08
mindset and have been of the mindset for a long time that you our universe is so
00:25:13
vast that it doesn't really make much sense that we'd be the only intelligent creatures out there
00:25:22
