00:35:06,810 --> 00:35:05,380 learned something well that's funny 811 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:06,820 because I ended up as you know 812 00:35:12,500 --> 00:35:09,130 transcribing eight pages of Judy woolum 813 00:35:15,900 --> 00:35:12,510 and speech pretty much verbatim so um 814 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:15,910 yeah yeah and what plunge learn yeah 815 00:35:21,359 --> 00:35:18,130 what did I learn I learned after passing 816 00:35:23,580 --> 00:35:21,369 on to all of you that it's amazing how 817 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:23,590 you can cherry-pick data isn't it 818 00:35:29,130 --> 00:35:26,050 using how you can post up links am Mel 819 00:35:32,310 --> 00:35:29,140 it's amazing how you can post up links 820 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:32,320 on a powerpoint that don't actually go 821 00:35:37,050 --> 00:35:35,170 to anything really and look really 822 00:35:38,970 --> 00:35:37,060 impressive when you say and here's the 823 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:38,980 supporting detour such and such and then 824 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:40,810 post up a URL and then I have the 825 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:42,970 wonderful Jack neo Tammy Scanlon on 826 00:35:46,230 --> 00:35:44,890 Twitter clicking on those things for me 827 00:35:47,820 --> 00:35:46,240 and merely tweeting me back going it 828 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:47,830 doesn't go anyway can you check again I 829 00:35:50,670 --> 00:35:49,690 can't yet say it's the correct link this 830 00:35:52,620 --> 00:35:50,680 is the link that she is habitable 831 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:52,630 interested it's a blank so they just 832 00:35:57,320 --> 00:35:54,610 expired or they were never there in the 833 00:35:59,580 --> 00:35:57,330 first place it's a 403 or 404 I 834 00:36:01,260 --> 00:35:59,590 suggested never was there in the first 835 00:36:03,930 --> 00:36:01,270 place or this woman doesn't have a time 836 00:36:06,510 --> 00:36:03,940 i can give you lessons I'm really good 837 00:36:08,910 --> 00:36:06,520 at it yeah I you could you could take 838 00:36:10,230 --> 00:36:08,920 that as a form of gish galloping I think 839 00:36:11,730 --> 00:36:10,240 there's another term for it when you 840 00:36:13,290 --> 00:36:11,740 when you do that you put up lots of 841 00:36:15,330 --> 00:36:13,300 links and references and say there's all 842 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:15,340 this support and you don't that's all 843 00:36:21,270 --> 00:36:17,770 you do I just connected we just as the 844 00:36:23,310 --> 00:36:21,280 non ish gallopin you want to yes yeah 845 00:36:25,830 --> 00:36:23,320 and now I'm assumed from the way using 846 00:36:27,420 --> 00:36:25,840 it that it means trying to flood some up 847 00:36:30,660 --> 00:36:27,430 with so much information that they can't 848 00:36:32,970 --> 00:36:30,670 disprove it is that correct yes yes 849 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:32,980 right okay well if you went to one of 850 00:36:37,470 --> 00:36:35,770 the great websites prison planet then 851 00:36:39,060 --> 00:36:37,480 they have all the all the stuff that's 852 00:36:40,590 --> 00:36:39,070 going on do you don't know about that 853 00:36:42,150 --> 00:36:40,600 they will have a hold of stakeholders 854 00:36:43,620 --> 00:36:42,160 and then if you follow them through that 855 00:36:45,330 --> 00:36:43,630 a lot of them actually don't go anywhere 856 00:36:47,310 --> 00:36:45,340 public us that expired or something like 857 00:36:49,620 --> 00:36:47,320 that but I still think if you if you if 858 00:36:51,900 --> 00:36:49,630 you want references that are really out 859 00:36:53,970 --> 00:36:51,910 there you have to go to the no agenda 860 00:36:55,590 --> 00:36:53,980 show that's the place i like it i love 861 00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:55,600 that i know you guys don't follow me on 862 00:36:59,790 --> 00:36:57,490 that one but they have their show notes 863 00:37:00,990 --> 00:36:59,800 every week we'll we'll have you going to 864 00:37:02,850 --> 00:37:01,000 what other people are thinking about 865 00:37:05,130 --> 00:37:02,860 non-scientific things and I think it's a 866 00:37:07,350 --> 00:37:05,140 great list of links Maynard you actually 867 00:37:10,110 --> 00:37:07,360 subscribe to me to no agenda and I did 868 00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:10,120 listen to okay so what do you think of 869 00:37:15,180 --> 00:37:12,730 the work of adam curry and johnson and 870 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:15,190 angina and john seed of work in the 871 00:37:18,300 --> 00:37:16,210 morning what do you think of they were 872 00:37:20,010 --> 00:37:18,310 well i tried to listen to one of them 873 00:37:22,020 --> 00:37:20,020 and they each of them go for about two 874 00:37:23,670 --> 00:37:22,030 hours so i started off with one that 875 00:37:26,730 --> 00:37:23,680 you'd mentioned to me specifically and 876 00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:26,740 that was about the vaccine reactions 877 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:28,510 that happened in australia a couple of 878 00:37:33,720 --> 00:37:30,130 months ago with young children getting 879 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:33,730 sick and as soon as they said they'd 880 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:35,530 received a donation for three thousand 881 00:37:40,290 --> 00:37:37,450 dollars because 882 00:37:42,690 --> 00:37:40,300 the guy who donated said they revealed 883 00:37:44,910 --> 00:37:42,700 that a child died from the flu vaccine I 884 00:37:46,650 --> 00:37:44,920 had to turn it off because you thought 885 00:37:49,859 --> 00:37:46,660 AHA that's so incorrect i'm not going to 886 00:37:51,780 --> 00:37:49,869 list any further yes because the 887 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:51,790 coroner's inquest had shown that there 888 00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:53,770 was no link between the vaccine and the 889 00:37:59,550 --> 00:37:57,130 death and okay there might be still some 890 00:38:02,099 --> 00:37:59,560 debate about what actually caused it but 891 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:02,109 i think it's really irresponsible to say 892 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:04,210 we revealed that the vaccine caused the 893 00:38:08,220 --> 00:38:06,010 death but the guy also gave that 894 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:08,230 donation was in Australia he was from 895 00:38:12,300 --> 00:38:10,450 Queensland yet another and the death 896 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:12,310 happen in Queensland exactly yeah yeah 897 00:38:17,700 --> 00:38:16,570 um here's a local paper yes I mean yeah 898 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:17,710 that's what I mean like what are you 899 00:38:22,829 --> 00:38:19,450 getting I'm getting at that even the 900 00:38:24,839 --> 00:38:22,839 like brian dunning says and i think like 901 00:38:26,790 --> 00:38:24,849 no agenda guys themselves would also say 902 00:38:28,620 --> 00:38:26,800 they shouldn't be your primary source of 903 00:38:30,569 --> 00:38:28,630 information that should be the start 904 00:38:32,819 --> 00:38:30,579 before you start looking at something so 905 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:32,829 for example that's why I enjoy skip 906 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:36,010 toyed and no agenda because I hear 907 00:38:39,540 --> 00:38:37,210 something that they'll generate going on 908 00:38:41,069 --> 00:38:39,550 has and sound and maybe sometimes I'll 909 00:38:43,140 --> 00:38:41,079 go oh yeah okay there is some evidence 910 00:38:45,450 --> 00:38:43,150 to back it up or sometimes ago no Adams 911 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:45,460 and up and and I think that's where it 912 00:38:48,540 --> 00:38:47,170 should be and with Brian when brian says 913 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:48,550 something about well look he did he's 914 00:38:52,319 --> 00:38:49,930 late escaped wind was all about things 915 00:38:53,730 --> 00:38:52,329 he got wrong yeah yeah yeah and he runs 916 00:38:56,010 --> 00:38:53,740 he even says don't listen to any guy on 917 00:38:57,510 --> 00:38:56,020 a podcast now yes I agree that it's 918 00:38:59,069 --> 00:38:57,520 irresponsible of them to make a 919 00:39:01,020 --> 00:38:59,079 statement like that that is incorrect 920 00:39:03,300 --> 00:39:01,030 and could make people not immunize their 921 00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:03,310 children but I'm not quite sure sure 922 00:39:09,240 --> 00:39:06,250 that they're that powerful no that's 923 00:39:10,890 --> 00:39:09,250 probably fair enough but I think I mean 924 00:39:12,809 --> 00:39:10,900 that could have just been an offhanded 925 00:39:15,359 --> 00:39:12,819 statement and because there were a lot 926 00:39:17,970 --> 00:39:15,369 of rumors going on around about about 927 00:39:19,290 --> 00:39:17,980 that issue but if they are putting 928 00:39:21,240 --> 00:39:19,300 themselves up as we look for the 929 00:39:23,190 --> 00:39:21,250 evidence and we seek the truth and they 930 00:39:25,620 --> 00:39:23,200 Bibble now and they hit people in the 931 00:39:27,089 --> 00:39:25,630 mouth as you say if that's the first 932 00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:27,099 thing they're going to say then it's 933 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:28,510 very hard for me to try to engage with 934 00:39:35,069 --> 00:39:32,650 anything else because I I don't dismiss 935 00:39:38,220 --> 00:39:35,079 every conspiracy theory I don't dismiss 936 00:39:40,050 --> 00:39:38,230 whoo without looking into it first so 937 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:40,060 you know you and I have discussions a 938 00:39:43,319 --> 00:39:42,010 lot about you say to me well maybe I 939 00:39:44,700 --> 00:39:43,329 shouldn't talk about this with you 940 00:39:47,130 --> 00:39:44,710 because you might just go oh that's 941 00:39:49,319 --> 00:39:47,140 nonsense but I don't and we watched the 942 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:49,329 West whole documentary together and I 943 00:39:52,469 --> 00:39:50,890 did have to stop it a few times and say 944 00:39:56,819 --> 00:39:52,479 hang on I don't think that's right 945 00:40:00,329 --> 00:39:56,829 others going out for drinks more for you 946 00:40:02,009 --> 00:40:00,339 may not but there is actually there is a 947 00:40:03,329 --> 00:40:02,019 couple of tests okay we're floating 948 00:40:04,949 --> 00:40:03,339 around here but there is some testable 949 00:40:06,839 --> 00:40:04,959 points of the West Hall documentary that 950 00:40:08,279 --> 00:40:06,849 are yet to be made remember the girl at 951 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:08,289 drop taking away the ambulance was

something might be some 955 00:40:17,339 --> 00:40:15,609 future follow up on the DVD to find out 956 00:40:18,630 --> 00:40:17,349 what happened that girl now okay do you 957 00:40:21,209 --> 00:40:18,640 want to just put that in context for our 958 00:40:23,099 --> 00:40:21,219 listeners who may not know about it okay 959 00:40:24,989 --> 00:40:23,109 just quickly go over it again through

00:41:07,410 --> 00:41:04,390 mentioning what the object sounded like 980 00:41:09,029 --> 00:41:07,420 yeah good point now it could have been 981 00:41:10,829 --> 00:41:09,039 flying silently there are methods of 982 00:41:12,779 --> 00:41:10,839 propulsion that I don't know about that 983 00:41:15,390 --> 00:41:12,789 could be silent that's possible but no 984 00:41:17,099 --> 00:41:15,400 one seemed to remember anything of an 985 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:17,109 auditory nature it runs seems remember 986 00:41:21,779 --> 00:41:19,690 visual no you're right and there wasn't 987 00:41:23,489

away from the teacher by 993 00:41:37,049 --> 00:41:35,349 that's really low 40 yeah there was one 994 00:41:38,549 --> 00:41:37,059 man dressed in uniform the other one 995 00:41:39,359 --> 00:41:38,559 looked like a moment a policeman or 996 00:41:41,609 --> 00:41:39,369 something like that and actually took 997 00:41:43,799 --> 00:41:41,619 the camera as well as the film now all 998 00:41:46,049 --> 00:41:43,809 of these things are seem unusual there 999 00:41:47,549 --> 00:41:46,059 seem to be a lot of people look and 1000 00:41:49,289 --> 00:41:47,559 maybe it might be messaged area but also 1001 00:41:51,390 --> 00:41:49,299 spoke to people that have experienced 1002 00:41:53,339 --> 00:41:51,400 similar situations I don't want to name 1003 00:41:54,839 --> 00:41:53,349 the person at their school seeing 1004 00:41:56,099 --> 00:41:54,849 unusual things and they're pretty damn 1005 00:41:58,349 --> 00:41:56,109 convinced that they did see something 1006 00:41:59,660 --> 00:41:58,359 unusual themselves that hovered near 1007 00:42:01,490 --> 00:41:59,670 their school for about an hour 1008 00:42:03,349 --> 00:42:01,500 and they were able to visually confirm 1009 00:42:04,970 --> 00:42:03,359 that to themselves now looking at 1010 00:42:06,079 --> 00:42:04,980 yourself you know i'm not i'm talking 1011 00:42:07,910 --> 00:42:06,089 about someone else i know well enough 1012 00:42:09,319 --> 00:42:07,920 that has also seen something of that 1013 00:42:11,630 --> 00:42:09,329 kind of thing and we know the most 1014 00:42:13,579 --> 00:42:11,640 powerful experiences the ones that you 1015 00:42:14,660 --> 00:42:13,589 experience yourself that's right and and 1016 00:42:16,220 --> 00:42:14,670 I'm not going to doubt they had this 1017 00:42:17,630 --> 00:42:16,230 experience but you know then again 1018 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:17,640 there's anything that knows I had that 1019 00:42:21,650 --> 00:42:20,130 experience so again as you are always 1020 00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:21,660 going on about this show and in the 1021 00:42:24,620 --> 00:42:23,250 skeptics guide to the universe and in 1022 00:42:26,809 --> 00:42:24,630 sceptile you want stuff that can be 1023 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:26,819 tested and that can't be test okay but 1024 00:42:30,559 --> 00:42:27,930 can we just go back to what you said 1025 00:42:32,150 --> 00:42:30,569 initially about this point which was the 1026 00:42:34,069 --> 00:42:32,160 girl who was apparently social and the 1027 00:42:36,770 --> 00:42:34,079 ambulance no this this was one thing 1028 00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:36,780 that you and I discussed after the 1029 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:38,970 Westall documentary because that would 1030 00:42:42,740 --> 00:42:41,010 be easy to test wouldn't it it would it 1031 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:42,750 must be medical records they must be 1032 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:44,490 ambulance record so there must be the 1033 00:42:49,730 --> 00:42:47,130 girl they didn't follow it up that 1034 00:42:51,020 --> 00:42:49,740 that's right yeah well that apparently 1035 00:42:53,240 --> 00:42:51,030 that girl was taken away in an ambulance 1036 00:42:54,589 --> 00:42:53,250 which again never seen a getting them 1037 00:42:56,359 --> 00:42:54,599 you will never came back to that school 1038 00:42:58,490 --> 00:42:56,369 now sure she could just move to another 1039 00:42:59,960 --> 00:42:58,500 school for another reason but again 1040 00:43:01,760 --> 00:42:59,970 there could be some sort of paper trail 1041 00:43:03,710 --> 00:43:01,770 there and it's only 1966 which 1042 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:03,720 admittedly was a while ago but maybe I 1043 00:43:07,430 --> 00:43:05,490 head classmates would know what happened 1044 00:43:09,170 --> 00:43:07,440 to Mary know why cause mate said that 1045 00:43:10,549 --> 00:43:09,180 what happened to Mary and two couldn't 1046 00:43:12,020 --> 00:43:10,559 find out what happens when they named 1047 00:43:13,579 --> 00:43:12,030 her yet they've actually named it 1048 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:13,589 actually named and they had a surname 1049 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:15,450 and everything so this is why I'm 1050 00:43:19,220 --> 00:43:17,490 variants to find out here we have some 1051 00:43:21,380 --> 00:43:19,230 testable information did wash you 1052 00:43:22,700 --> 00:43:21,390 overcome just buy some hysteria did you 1053 00:43:25,130 --> 00:43:22,710 get close to the object and they had 1054 00:43:28,819 --> 00:43:25,140 some before she indeed taken away at all 1055 00:43:30,140 --> 00:43:28,829 or even that wasn't the ambulance dress 1056 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:30,150 to look like an added that's what was 1057 00:43:34,910 --> 00:43:32,490 really an alien ship or door did to the 1058 00:43:36,829 --> 00:43:34,920 poor girl had a fit dying it wasn't 1059 00:43:39,349 --> 00:43:36,839 passed one of the kids because Oh kids 1060 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:39,359 well yes I there's many things that 1061 00:43:42,049 --> 00:43:40,650 could have happened there but that is 1062 00:43:43,789 --> 00:43:42,059 the one thing at the end of documentary 1063 00:43:46,370 --> 00:43:43,799 go gee I'd like to whatever that girl 1064 00:43:47,390 --> 00:43:46,380 yeah and and you know and it ever say in 1065 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:47,400 the documentary I would love to have a 1066 00:43:50,390 --> 00:43:48,930 piece of an alien spaceship they could 1067 00:43:52,579 --> 00:43:50,400 test but there's nothing here it's just 1068 00:43:53,870 --> 00:43:52,589 a lot of people talking about it now I 1069 00:43:55,069 --> 00:43:53,880 have heard that the problem with the 1070 00:43:56,930 --> 00:43:55,079 documentary is there's massive 1071 00:43:58,490 --> 00:43:56,940 confirmation bias and because an ad was 1072 00:44:01,220 --> 00:43:58,500 put in the local paper about if you're 1073 00:44:03,500 --> 00:44:01,230 at the Westall school at this time and 1074 00:44:05,420 --> 00:44:03,510 you saw something come along this 1075 00:44:07,220 --> 00:44:05,430 meeting we're having so if you were at 1076 00:44:08,140 --> 00:44:07,230 that school and you saw nothing maybe 1077 00:44:10,450 --> 00:44:08,150 you read 1078 00:44:12,789 --> 00:44:10,460 maybe wouldn't go the meeting you know 1079 00:44:14,769 --> 00:44:12,799 but you know there's a lot of layers to 1080 00:44:16,630 --> 00:44:14,779 it that I thought were interesting it 1081 00:44:18,910 --> 00:44:16,640 was worth making a documentary about the 1082 00:44:21,250 --> 00:44:18,920 actual documentary maker herself she has 1083 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:21,260 come under a lot of fire for you know 1084 00:44:24,700 --> 00:44:22,970 making it a wound documentary and 1085 00:44:27,069 --> 00:44:24,710 everything and I don't know I just think 1086 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:27,079 look she with what she had and which 1087 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:29,210 wasn't a lot it was filled in with some 1088 00:44:33,010 --> 00:44:30,650 really good graphics that they did and 1089 00:44:34,750 --> 00:44:33,020 I'm glad it was made and look I'd like 1090 00:44:36,789 --> 00:44:34,760 to see more of it but I'd like to see 1091 00:44:38,049 --> 00:44:36,799 more of it with information and when 1092 00:44:40,150 --> 00:44:38,059 you're dealing with something that a lot 1093 00:44:42,010 --> 00:44:40,160 of people saw with no accompanying 1094 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:42,020 evidence that can be tested I think she 1095 00:44:45,250 --> 00:44:42,890 did a pretty good job with the 1096 00:44:47,109 --> 00:44:45,260 documentary as it was I wonder if that's 1097 00:44:49,630 --> 00:44:47,119 going to make it to the network it was 1098 00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:49,640 on cable oh yes and it was funded by the 1099 00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:52,250 sci-fi channel NTV won both put money 1100 00:44:56,859 --> 00:44:55,250 into EV one TV one film Victoria put 1101 00:44:58,059 --> 00:44:56,869 money into us yes look that it was a 1102 00:45:00,460 --> 00:44:58,069 project that's been going on for about 1103 00:45:02,289 --> 00:45:00,470 five years and i would i would say the 1104 00:45:03,579 --> 00:45:02,299 filmmaker would lost a lot of money on 1105 00:45:05,049 --> 00:45:03,589 it because they would have been filming 1106 00:45:07,059 --> 00:45:05,059 bits and pieces of it and slowly 1107 00:45:09,630 --> 00:45:07,069 assembling it but there is one section 1108 00:45:11,529 --> 00:45:09,640 that i think a lot of skeptics would 1109 00:45:13,329 --> 00:45:11,539 definitely pick up there is two and 1110 00:45:15,010 --> 00:45:13,339 that's when one of the girls who was 1111 00:45:16,450 --> 00:45:15,020 regressing back to what she remember at 1112 00:45:18,849 --> 00:45:16,460 the time she was they were doing of that 1113 00:45:21,099 --> 00:45:18,859 hypnotherapy that only regressive 1114 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:21,109 hypnotherapy and and they filmed a bit 1115 00:45:25,150 --> 00:45:22,970 of that and that did make me one a 1116 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:25,160 little bit because the hypnotherapist 1117 00:45:29,620 --> 00:45:27,770 send me leading her a little bit ya know 1118 00:45:32,529 --> 00:45:29,630 when she started talking about small 1119 00:45:34,210 --> 00:45:32,539 green alien type men and I'm no I don't 1120 00:45:35,769 --> 00:45:34,220 think she went that far but is I Greymon 1121 00:45:37,930 --> 00:45:35,779 but she did was talking about i can see 1122 00:45:40,809 --> 00:45:37,940 figures and i can see these kind of 1123 00:45:42,819 --> 00:45:40,819 great that said I I don't think that I 1124 00:45:46,359 --> 00:45:42,829 need to tell anybody how notoriously 1125 00:45:48,339 --> 00:45:46,369 unreliable and it's just dr. Christie 1126 00:45:50,349 --> 00:45:48,349 Wilson's writing on on that kind of 1127 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:50,359 thing about reliability memory or and 1128 00:45:54,430 --> 00:45:52,490 certainly dr. Chris French who and this 1129 00:45:55,990 --> 00:45:54,440 hip no hypnosis can bring back old 1130 00:45:59,170 --> 00:45:56,000 memories and you can see them clarity I 1131 00:46:00,609 --> 00:45:59,180 know it doesn't look like that the the 1132 00:46:01,809 --> 00:46:00,619 thing that thing was good about the west 1133 00:46:03,819 --> 00:46:01,819 of document appears they did have a 1134 00:46:05,589 --> 00:46:03,829 uniforms probably but got banging on 1135 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:05,599 about this so much but they did have a 1136 00:46:10,589 --> 00:46:08,450 uniform specialist of military uniforms 1137 00:46:12,490 --> 00:46:10,599 there in the documentary and they 1138 00:46:14,799 --> 00:46:12,500 presented to him a description that 1139 00:46:16,510 --> 00:46:14,809 seemed to be the many different sorts of 1140 00:46:18,039 --> 00:46:16,520 uniforms that the children appeared to 1141 00:46:20,349 --> 00:46:18,049 obscene over the couple of days in the 1142 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:20,359 area and love them did didn't match a 1143 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:20,690 stray 1144 00:46:24,790 --> 00:46:22,130 uniforms the time they appeared to match 1145 00:46:27,190 --> 00:46:24,800 American uniforms of the time but again 1146 00:46:29,260 --> 00:46:27,200 once they saw on TV over the last 40 1147 00:46:32,339 --> 00:46:29,270 years well I don't know I used to watch 1148 00:46:35,859 --> 00:46:32,349 a lot of i dream of jeannie and and 1149 00:46:38,140 --> 00:46:35,869 alone you know and the the uniforms that 1150 00:46:39,609 --> 00:46:38,150 de major Healey and Tony had on in that 1151 00:46:41,770 --> 00:46:39,619 probably match what the kids were seeing 1152 00:46:43,390 --> 00:46:41,780 as well but again it was that because 1153 00:46:44,740 --> 00:46:43,400 that was on TV at the time or was it 1154 00:46:47,710 --> 00:46:44,750 because I actually what they saw you 1155 00:46:50,319 --> 00:46:47,720 know I it's just the the I know one 1156 00:46:51,849 --> 00:46:50,329 person can be fooled as you say and 200 1157 00:46:54,579 --> 00:46:51,859 people can be a Glee and filled as well 1158 00:46:56,740 --> 00:46:54,589 and I it just makes me wonder which is 1159 00:46:58,660 --> 00:46:56,750 why I get back to the fact that i love 1160 00:47:00,280 --> 00:46:58,670 shows like no agenda and skip to it 1161 00:47:03,609 --> 00:47:00,290 equally because they're coming from 1162 00:47:05,050 --> 00:47:03,619 opposite directions and you've got to do 1163 00:47:07,270 --> 00:47:05,060 the work i think i don't think you know 1164 00:47:09,339 --> 00:47:07,280 i like the fact that skeptic podcasts 1165 00:47:11,050 --> 00:47:09,349 and podcasts in general make the person 1166 00:47:12,970 --> 00:47:11,060 think about it i mean like most radio 1167 00:47:15,339 --> 00:47:12,980 stations they trying I mean John Laws he 1168 00:47:16,839 --> 00:47:15,349 was always doing the thinking for you on 1169 00:47:19,569 --> 00:47:16,849 his show and I like I like the way these 1170 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:19,579 podcasts like you know you know it's as 1171 00:47:22,720 --> 00:47:21,050 good as it's a starting place do you 1172 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:22,730 think would no agenda do something like 1173 00:47:27,839 --> 00:47:24,530 skip do it would they devote an episode 1174 00:47:30,730 --> 00:47:27,849 to their errors that's a very good point 1175 00:47:33,569 --> 00:47:30,740 they are constantly reading emails about 1176 00:47:37,450 --> 00:47:33,579 people who think they're wrong hmm and 1177 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:37,460 basically there it's more of a format 1178 00:47:41,710 --> 00:47:39,770 reviewing the news so like they'll go 1179 00:47:43,300 --> 00:47:41,720 through c-span I'll watch c-span so you 1180 00:47:45,430 --> 00:47:43,310 don't have to they will go through these 1181 00:47:46,750 --> 00:47:45,440 shows and look at them and give you 1182 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:46,760 their take on them now a lot of his 1183 00:47:50,230 --> 00:47:48,290 American politics it is a little bit 1184 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:50,240 confusing to us Australia's here and 1185 00:47:53,470 --> 00:47:51,890 that they've drilled down to a lot of 1186 00:47:54,849 --> 00:47:53,480 things but occasionally you'll gets a 1187 00:47:57,970 --> 00:47:54,859 bit you get big things and you get 1188 00:47:59,680 --> 00:47:57,980 crackpot stuff and you know like Adam 1189 00:48:01,240 --> 00:47:59,690 definitely thinks that there's an elite 1190 00:48:03,309 --> 00:48:01,250 that wants to take over the planet and 1191 00:48:05,829 --> 00:48:03,319 that's sooo nasty I don't think 1192 00:48:08,020 --> 00:48:05,839 necessarily Illuminati I think there's 1193 00:48:09,250 --> 00:48:08,030 an elite that want your stuff and the 1194 00:48:10,540 --> 00:48:09,260 way that they get your stuff is by 1195 00:48:12,069 --> 00:48:10,550 reducing the population every once 1196 00:48:14,140 --> 00:48:12,079 awhile and stuff like that now that is 1197 00:48:16,270 --> 00:48:14,150 really out there serious crackpot that 1198 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:16,280 but that's the I think it fits into the 1199 00:48:20,170 --> 00:48:18,170 same theory as the world the New World 1200 00:48:22,030 --> 00:48:20,180 Order the Illuminati the Rockefellers 1201 00:48:24,339 --> 00:48:22,040 the Rothschilds the Georgia Guidestones 1202 00:48:26,500 --> 00:48:24,349 stuff doesn't it isn't it does not fit 1203 00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:26,510 into that same well it certainly fits in 1204 00:48:30,130 --> 00:48:28,130 the busy but the hose him down there's 1205 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:30,140 John said Dvorak who buys into a little 1206 00:48:33,690 --> 00:48:31,970 bit of this but there's stuff you stop 1207 00:48:35,460 --> 00:48:33,700 set and the one thing that they 1208 00:48:36,870 --> 00:48:35,470 they've come up with recently is the 1209 00:48:39,450 --> 00:48:36,880 chemtrails thing now that's meant that's 1210 00:48:41,970 --> 00:48:39,460 been around for years and Adams on board 1211 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:41,980 with this and an even jhansi dvorak's on 1212 00:48:45,150 --> 00:48:43,210 board with the earthquake machine little 1213 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:45,160 bit because like like like I say the geo 1214 00:48:48,390 --> 00:48:46,930 political ramifications of an earthquake 1215 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:48,400 machine would be pretty massive all 1216 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:51,490 right we have the Italian size magis 1217 00:48:55,530 --> 00:48:53,290 you're currently being sued ugly thing 1218 00:48:57,330 --> 00:48:55,540 as well another case i must admit that's 1219 00:49:01,260 --> 00:48:57,340 a new one on me earthquake earthquake 1220 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:01,270 machine because look no because if if I 1221 00:49:04,500 --> 00:49:03,010 don't the seismologist actually Croatian 1222 00:49:06,990 --> 00:49:04,510 was being sued for not being ultra 1223 00:49:08,610 --> 00:49:07,000 detected oh yes if the government or 1224 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:08,620 group of people had the ability to cause 1225 00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:10,810 earthquakes wouldn't that be a great 1226 00:49:14,550 --> 00:49:13,210 weapon and the problem is earthquakes 1227 00:49:20,940 --> 00:49:14,560 happen naturally all the time anyways 1228 00:49:21,870 --> 00:49:20,950 yeah how could you tell yeah oh yeah and 1229 00:49:23,910 --> 00:49:21,880 that's something you can never test 1230 00:49:26,130 --> 00:49:23,920 either I think we should investigate jen 1231 00:49:28,470 --> 00:49:26,140 mccreight and her boob quite claims ah 1232 00:49:30,510 --> 00:49:28,480 actually though not she has been high 1233 00:49:33,420 --> 00:49:30,520 evidence of her she might have an 1234 00:49:34,920

01:01:58,619 compare to other networks 1559 01:02:04,700 --> 01:02:00,750 internationally it's not it's not like 1560 01:02:06,499 --> 01:02:04,710 Radio one even the BBC no it's more it's 1561 01:02:08,749 --> 01:02:06,509 not like a big college radio station now 1562 01:02:09,799 --> 01:02:08,759 it's better organized than that yeah it 1563 01:02:11,359 --> 01:02:09,809 is probably when I'm on the best 1564 01:02:12,769 --> 01:02:11,369 registrations at the universe's for sure 1565 01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:12,779 if introduced and get new stuff because 1566 01:02:19,430 --> 01:02:15,210 at that time and get this list now there 1567 01:02:21,230 --> 01:02:19,440 was no playlist I would turn up perhaps 1568 01:02:22,279 --> 01:02:21,240 during either towards the end I was here 1569 01:02:23,930 --> 01:02:22,289 they were introduced to playlist where 1570 01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:23,940 you had to play maybe two songs an hour 1571 01:02:29,299 --> 01:02:26,730 but for my 89 years I spent a triple j 1572 01:02:31,519 --> 01:02:29,309 there was no playlist so I would turn up 1573 01:02:32,900 --> 01:02:31,529 and basically what I brought in my boxer 1574 01:02:35,180 --> 01:02:32,910 I could find in the wonderful dribbled a 1575 01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:35,190 library I could play for three hours so 1576 01:02:41,089 --> 01:02:36,930 you could play Herb Alpert if you wanted 1577 01:02:42,650 --> 01:02:41,099 to and I did he does it looked at the 1578 01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:42,660 whipped cream album and of the lights 1579 01:02:46,730 --> 01:02:44,490 came up many times I mean basically you 1580 01:02:49,039 --> 01:02:46,740 know that it was during a time when when 1581 01:02:50,930 --> 01:02:49,049 when retro is in some way a little bit 1582 01:02:52,579 --> 01:02:50,940 news so we had move a dag Sam going so 1583 01:02:55,910 --> 01:02:52,589 yeah got my x morning on work on a bit 1584 01:02:57,289 --> 01:02:55,920 of Casey inside or ever or something 1585 01:03:00,680 --> 01:02:57,299 like that and I think it was probably 1586 01:03:02,150 --> 01:03:00,690 the only time i think in anywhere in the 1587 01:03:03,890 --> 01:03:02,160 history of this planet that you probably 1588 01:03:05,630 --> 01:03:03,900 would have heard the smiths next to 1589 01:03:07,039 --> 01:03:05,640 Carly mando absolutely I don't think you 1590 01:03:08,269 --> 01:03:07,049 would have paid and yeah and I was 1591 01:03:10,579 --> 01:03:08,279 probably under play that kind of thing 1592 01:03:11,930 --> 01:03:10,589 cuz you know again I think some radio 1593 01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:11,940 stations to play music should be like 1594 01:03:15,289 --> 01:03:13,650 podcasts it's where that you start 1595 01:03:16,670 --> 01:03:15,299 thinking about your music and stuff you 1596 01:03:17,870 --> 01:03:16,680 don't just blindly accept what they're 1597 01:03:19,370 --> 01:03:17,880 playing as being their stuff it just 1598 01:03:21,140 --> 01:03:19,380 makes you think about what you like a 1599 01:03:22,519 --> 01:03:21,150 bit more yeah it was it was fabulous but 1600 01:03:24,650 --> 01:03:22,529 this is the interview that this person 1601 01:03:26,390 --> 01:03:24,660 is this person I had on this morning at 1602 01:03:27,499 --> 01:03:26,400 very special and this reflected the kind 1603 01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:27,509 of range that you had because you did 1604 01:03:31,190 --> 01:03:29,970 have all sorts of people coming in and I 1605 01:03:33,049 --> 01:03:31,200 used to love the comedians and the 1606 01:03:35,150 --> 01:03:33,059 writers in particular and you had 1607 01:03:37,700 --> 01:03:35,160 douglas adams and one of the things I 1608 01:03:40,579 --> 01:03:37,710 used to do was record occasional shows 1609 01:03:41,870 --> 01:03:40,589 of yours I often like hit record just as 1610 01:03:43,099 --> 01:03:41,880 I was running off to school so I'd come 1611 01:03:44,839 --> 01:03:43,109 home and listen to the second half of 1612 01:03:46,609 --> 01:03:44,849 the interview or whatever so I wouldn't 1613 01:03:49,069 --> 01:03:46,619 miss the whole show and I've got on a 1614 01:03:50,660 --> 01:03:49,079 tape from 1990 i think was in april of 1615 01:03:53,329 --> 01:03:50,670 douglas adams have you got the whole 1616 01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:53,339 interview family if i do wow i believe i

reel-to-reel tape broadcast 1620 01:04:02,089 --> 01:03:59,670 quality somewhere but it's in my own 1621 01:04:03,859 --> 01:04:02,099 bedroom at my mom's place where every 1622 01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:03,869 other tape that I made believe you me i 1623 01:04:07,279 --> 01:04:05,970 keep i do not throw anything away under 1624 01:04:10,039 --> 01:04:07,289 the problem is it's all organized so i 1625 01:04:11,690 --> 01:04:10,049 can find it but yes douglas adams he was 1626 01:04:13,339 --> 01:04:11,700 making his last chance to see 1627 01:04:14,839 --> 01:04:13,349 documentary he missed rally at the time 1628 01:04:19,130 --> 01:04:14,849 which I believe stephen Fry's just 1629 01:04:21,620 --> 01:04:19,140 retraced his steps yeah yes and uh and I 1630 01:04:23,180 --> 01:04:21,630 could course I've with the book on hood 1631 01:04:25,039 --> 01:04:23,190 the radio showing everything but it's a 1632 01:04:26,749 --> 01:04:25,049 good example of doing an interview where 1633 01:04:28,970 --> 01:04:26,759 you don't over prepare for it but the 1634 01:04:30,950 --> 01:04:28,980 one thing i do remember very clearly was 1635 01:04:32,450 --> 01:04:30,960 that at that time or shortly before then 1636 01:04:35,569 --> 01:04:32,460 they've been a hitchhiker's guide to the 1637 01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:35,579 galaxy game released on a cd-rom now of 1638 01:04:38,900 --> 01:04:36,720 course i didn't have a computer back 1639 01:04:42,319 --> 01:04:38,910 then but it was got that but it was a 1640 01:04:44,539 --> 01:04:42,329 line command game i know that there was 1641 01:04:46,220 --> 01:04:44,549 no graphic user interface for it you 1642 01:04:48,259 --> 01:04:46,230 guys equate online you can find it on 1643 01:04:50,299 --> 01:04:48,269 the stone line and here's the one tip 1644 01:04:51,859 --> 01:04:50,309 that Douglas Adams gave me if you are 1645 01:04:55,099 --> 01:04:51,869 going to play that game if you want to 1646 01:04:56,870 --> 01:04:55,109 win it when before your house gets 1647 01:04:59,539 --> 01:04:56,880 demolished and you get taken away by the 1648 01:05:00,890 --> 01:04:59,549 Vogon and destructively before you leave 1649 01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:00,900 their house don't 1650 01:05:05,570 --> 01:05:03,450 forget to take the junk mail with you 1651 01:05:08,210 --> 01:05:05,580 now it's a very small item but if you 1652 01:05:10,910 --> 01:05:08,220 don't take that junk mail with you it is 1653 01:05:13,190 --> 01:05:10,920 used later in the game to distract some 1654 01:05:15,260 --> 01:05:13,200 poetry reading or there's some aliens 1655 01:05:16,670 --> 01:05:15,270 that it's used to distract the Vogons 1656 01:05:18,830 --> 01:05:16,680 later from reading their poetry to you 1657 01:05:20,300 --> 01:05:18,840 say and if you don't do that you can't 1658 01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:20,310 get to the next step in the game and in 1659 01:05:23,780 --> 01:05:22,290 fact in the same show I believe you said 1660 01:05:26,780 --> 01:05:23,790 that he tried to trick with another game 1661 01:05:29,150 --> 01:05:26,790 he was the creator of the plot for the 1662 01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:29,160 computer game labyrinth which is all 1663 01:05:33,770 --> 01:05:30,930 those Jim Henson and David Bowie fans 1664 01:05:35,090 --> 01:05:33,780 out there no it's fabulous film which 1665 01:05:37,610 --> 01:05:35,100 starred jennifer connelly when she was a 1666 01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:37,620 young lass in that he did exactly the 1667 01:05:41,750 --> 01:05:40,170 same thing where if you fail to take I 1668 01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:41,760 think it was the quarters of the coins 1669 01:05:46,850 --> 01:05:44,970 or no it was a plank of wood if you fail 1670 01:05:49,460 --> 01:05:46,860 to take a plank of wood from the very 1671 01:05:51,140 --> 01:05:49,470 beginning of the game you messed up the 1672 01:05:52,940 --> 01:05:51,150 rest of the game so he was a very cheeky 1673 01:05:54,230 --> 01:05:52,950 fellow depakote making sure you and the 1674 01:05:55,730 --> 01:05:54,240 only of the game I know he was attached 1675 01:05:57,830 --> 01:05:55,740 to and I know this because every time 1676 01:05:59,990 --> 01:05:57,840 you go to the Manning bar in Sydney to 1677 01:06:02,450 --> 01:06:00,000 see a band you'll see to the right side 1678 01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:02,460 of the stage an
