Aliens, Brown Tap Water, And A Steak Caesar

We talk about why our millennial throwback music video edits feel so satisfying, from childhood creative dreams to the exact cut choices that make people stop scrolling. Then we bounce from Big Bear travel rules to packed sports bars, alien files, and the surprisingly serious case for eating more steak.

Nostalgic Millennial Music Video Edits

SPEAKER_00 0:00

Here's what I have to say. I saw a comment. So listeners, viewers, I hope you're liking the content that we're putting out as millennials.

SPEAKER_01 0:10

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 0:10

These music videos. And the latest one to kind of pop off was the 18s one. And I saw a comment today that really Oh so first of all, I don't know if I've ever said on the pod officially why I really wanted to do this content. It's you did not. It's it is it is doing for me what I always wanted to do when I was a kid. It was like making these videos is like a very like low-lift version of what I was always picturing when I was making my cousins' dance. Yeah. And Chloe and I were like choreographing and performing. Like in my head, it is what we're doing. Like it was like music videos. Yeah. So I do think eventually it would be fun to take one and actually film it. Like still the same cut, so like a short 30 seconds, but like film it like a music video because it would be like a half-day shoot.

SPEAKER_01 0:56

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 0:57

And that would be really fun, I think, to do it like that. Like just like different locations and I like I was thinking like rent like a peer space for like 150 bucks that has like different sets and really just like actually film.

SPEAKER_01 1:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:07

Do like obviously we would go with multiple songs to make the use of it, but that would be I think that would be a cute way to plus it eventually. Anyway, so it fulfills that like it's like Alex doing what Alex always wanted to do when he was a kid, kind of a thing. Yeah. And then the other part is that when I see content that makes me feel nostalgic, I'm like, I love this. This is such a nice break in my feed.

SPEAKER_01 1:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:31

So I wanted to serve that purpose for other me's out there. I didn't realize how many. I shouldn't have known. I mean, I obviously knew I'm not the only one, and you're not the only one that feels this way. But to have like an overwhelming amount of comments that are just always being like, Thank you so much. This is like took me right back.

SPEAKER_01 1:47

Yeah, I think like you had a vision of like something that no one else is doing, and I truly think because like people are dancing on TikTok or like whatever, but it is the quality and like the type of video. I've never seen anyone else do it. So like you had that vision, and you did for a long time before we even do it. You were like, I have this idea, yeah, I think it's gonna be like really good.

SPEAKER_00 2:11

And we I was just like, okay, yeah, I didn't like really like see the vision, but you it's funny, it took me putting that light up at my last place for me to be like, that's what it is. It needed like a cool backdrop. Yeah, that's why I couldn't figure out.

SPEAKER_01 2:26

But um Yeah, we've had people like from the actual groups, the groups comment and DM, and like that's been really cool. Yeah, because I'm sure those people sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off, but I'm sure those people like really appreciate, you know, yeah, when people acknowledge their music because if they are like a group that isn't together anymore or they haven't had music out in 20 years, like they're like, Oh, people still like us. Yeah, like I'm sure that's really nice.

SPEAKER_00 2:56

100%. And it's it is which that just reminded me that I've also seen, I don't know if you've seen, there's quite a bit of comments of people being like, drop the playlist. And I was like, I should. We should make like a really good curated millennial playlist and share the playlist, and then it can be like the songs we've done and the songs that we're going to do, and people can kind of like hype or give suggestions.

SPEAKER_01 3:15

It's like that's such a cool if like Spotify like made an official one with us because they they did that with us with the Fitness Marshall for a while. Yeah, like we had like the Fitness Marshall playlist or whatever, and it would be songs like ones that we have dances to and then a couple sprinkled in, like exactly what you're saying. So if anyone works at Spotify or Apple T Apple Music, we know.

SPEAKER_00 3:36

I but then like someone made a comment today on the the 18s one that was so like I was like, Yes, he was like, they really do not make pop songs like this anymore that have like really no meaning, they're just like very surface level, but so fun feeling. Yeah, and he was like, Everything now is so sad and like heavy and but Max Martin is still making music. True.

SPEAKER_01 4:00

So why isn't he not just replicating that?

SPEAKER_00 4:02

I don't know, but it's honestly weird. Um like think about those lyrics upside down, bouncing off the screen.

SPEAKER_01 4:11

You're telling me, because my vision, sorry, you're telling me that gnarly is better than upside down. Thank you very much. I need somebody with a human touch.

SPEAKER_00 4:24

But like upside down is like bubblegum pop.

SPEAKER_01 4:27

I did just mix two songs together.

SPEAKER_00 4:28

I know what you were doing that. But you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 4:30

Yeah, but like that's that was my vision for Cat's Eye. Like, I really felt like when after I had seen them in Popstar Academy, they didn't have like a sound yet because they had really just been doing covers and stuff. Like in Popstar Academy, it was like all of them basically like learning covers. They had one song that was like their debut song, which is honestly my favorite song that they have.

SPEAKER_00 4:52

Which one is it?

SPEAKER_01 4:52

It's called Debut.

SPEAKER_00 4:54

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 4:55

But in my mind, like it felt like they were gonna be more like girl pop, girl pop, yeah, that vibe. And then they came out with gnarly and pinky up, which I think like I like Pinky Up, and I think it is a fun song. But gnarly is an insane song, yeah. That has no meaning, just like everything's gnarly, like, okay, cool. But in my mind, and I'm not hating because I'd really love those girls, yeah, love them. You loved them, but I really felt like that's the direction they were gonna go in, and it's just the opposite.

SPEAKER_00 5:27

Yeah, we just don't have that, but it is because it's like another one we're gonna be doing soon is CS Love V, and that one is the same. It's like the song is so sorry, say that again CS Love V. Love V Cies Say. Obviously, I know that that's what it's called. I don't know why I said that. It's spelled like CS. But why was I seeing it in my head? Like, I know the fucking thing.

SPEAKER_01 6:10

Hey Lobby. Wow, it is confusing.

SPEAKER_00 6:17

But anyway, that is another one that is like that. It's like, what is this song? Hey boy, sitting in a tree. Mommy always asks you to come for tea. Don't be shocked, straighten up your tight, get down from the tree house, hanging in the sky. I want to know just what you do. Is it very big? Is there room for two? I got a house with the windows and doors. I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

SPEAKER_01 6:35

Hey, why can't we they just make a song that makes sense that sounds like that? Like, why do we have to make it not make sense?

SPEAKER_00 6:41

Right, right. I don't know, I don't know. But the point is, I'm loving this content we're doing. I'm excited how it's growing. And you're I don't know if you're noticing, like, I'm getting more like insane with the editing.

SPEAKER_01 6:51

Yeah. It's like jumping and zooming and turning. I did notice that, and I I like it. I really, you know, I really loved the power line eye to eye one.

SPEAKER_00 7:05

Even though you and Angela didn't know, no, you knew the words. Angela didn't know a single word.

SPEAKER_01 7:10

Angela didn't know the words because she doesn't know that that's the single best Disney song that's ever been made.

SPEAKER_00 7:16

And like I feel bad for her.

SPEAKER_01 7:18

She's really missing our and I said what I said on that. Oh, yeah. Some people think it's a whole new world. My boyfriend, it's eye to eye. It's eye-eye.

SPEAKER_00 7:26

That one was so fun. I was a little like I felt like I maybe overwhelmed you guys with the last one because it was like it was the first time we did it in this new house, but it was very chaotic.

SPEAKER_01 7:36

It was just like two songs that we both didn't know.

SPEAKER_00 7:40

Because we did Eye to Eye, MmBop, MmBop, and Upside Down.

SPEAKER_01 7:46

Oh, so yeah, I didn't know the ad libs on Umbop, I'm not gonna lie. I feel like I wasn't prepared because there was a lead-in.

SPEAKER_00 7:53

Oh, yeah, you yeah, there's a whole take of you being like, hold on, hold on, hold on.

SPEAKER_01 7:57

Yeah, because I thought we were just starting when the chorus started, and you like kept the whole lead-in in and the vocals that go in the lead-in. And I've don't know that.

SPEAKER_00 8:06

So that taught me two things. I I have been inconsistent with the cuts that I make. Yeah, because sometimes what happens is we are doing something really funny or like in time that I then am like, oh, this will be good to have before the song starts. Because we need a little lead-in time for the words.

SPEAKER_01 8:23

Of course, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:23

But then sometimes we don't. So I will cut stuff off and just jump right to it. And so what that what that made me realize is that's like, okay, from now on, what the whatever the cut is, just expect that that will be what we sing.

SPEAKER_01 8:36

Yeah, when I listen to the cut, I just like was for I was not even paying attention to that.

SPEAKER_00 8:41

Because it does feel like a long lead-in.

SPEAKER_01 8:43

Yeah. For the other song, I really didn't didn't know it very well.

SPEAKER_00 8:47

Upside down, upside down.

SPEAKER_01 8:48

It's okay, like because I do get it mixed up with the Spice Girls in my mind, it goes upside down. Thank you very much. I mean like I don't know my mind. My all of these years, my brain has put those two songs together.

SPEAKER_00 9:01

Um, no, but this is why we record it at least four times because there's always somewhere to jump to. But I will also have to give credit to you because when I had the vision for this, I did not know yet, remember, like what was gonna be on the screen. I just knew what I want it to be, and I was spitballing with a lot of things, but you were the one that was like millennials when this song comes on. And I was like, that's it.

SPEAKER_01 9:21

Yeah. Because that is really relatable and people I gotta that's what gets people to stay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:26

We've tried a few different ones a couple times, but it always comes back to that one. It's just like it works the best. Yeah. I do think eventually we have to do the Celine one again because I don't know if you've seen it recently, but it it has like resurgences every couple weeks. The comments are all the same now, and it's like, um, why did you guys cut it off? You should have gone to the very end because it has like such an epic ending. Okay. But I was like, okay, then maybe we shift and just do it.

SPEAKER_01 9:49

Maybe we're just like um we we couldn't stay away vibes. Yeah. Just like reply as like a yes. That'd be fun.

SPEAKER_00 9:58

It's like I love that that it was good that that one was the one that popped off first too, because it gave me the proof of concept. Yeah. It's like I knew it was gonna work.

SPEAKER_01 10:07

Yeah, you were like, you guys, I told you.

SPEAKER_00 10:08

I was like, I knew it was gonna work, but it had to be like if it didn't work on the first one, I think it would have been a little harder for me to even like figure out how to keep going.

SPEAKER_01 10:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:16

Also, block shooting, what a game changer. Holy crap.

SPEAKER_01 10:21

That's what we used to do before I moved here, and it was that was a nightmare, but that was it's a more involved.

SPEAKER_00 10:27

Chad um boyfriend after you guys left, he was like, You weren't kidding, you guys are so fast. I was like, Yeah. Well, I know you told me, but I I'm still thinking they'll be here for hours. It's like, no, it's no pretty well-oiled machine.

SPEAKER_01 10:40

Yeah, it is. Well, good job. Anyway, we never did the intro, so let's do that.

Big Bear Drive And Travel Rules

SPEAKER_00 10:57

Welcome back to the A-list podcast with Allison and Alex.

SPEAKER_01 11:01

I'm Allison, he's Alex.

SPEAKER_00 11:03

And we are currently at as you're listening to this, probably a little tired driving back from Big Bear.

SPEAKER_01 11:09

Yeah, I wish it was like a little closer. Because when you like leave, it's just like oh, it's a daunting. I know, it is.

SPEAKER_00 11:17

It is, it is.

SPEAKER_01 11:17

When you're going, you're excited. You're like, oh, it's pretty. I guess if it's like winter time and you're yeah, like worried about the snow, it's a little bit more stressful. But at this time of year, it's like, oh, we're going to the mountains and it's pretty view and it's like exciting. But then when you leave, you're like, oh, I have to drive this far.

SPEAKER_00 11:34

Yeah, the drive back is the worst. I will say I'm glad. So you know my rule with traveling. It's like if it's a vacation, five days minimum. I don't think I'd knew this. If it's a trip, three, three. It's like sorry, three nights. Okay. Because, in my opinion, so we uh last week I told you guys, but we went to Pal my boyfriend and I went to Palm Springs for our anniversary, and this has been my thing that I've been telling you. He likes to do two night things, in and out kind of guy. But I've always gave the argument that like two full days somewhere really makes it feel worth it when it's quick trips, Palm Springs, yeah, big bear, something around, not as not like flying, yeah. But to be able to like, because by the time you get somewhere, you're settling in, then you have a your first full day. And if you're only there for a two-nighter, that's your last day.

SPEAKER_01 12:22

Yeah, you have to pack everything up again.

SPEAKER_00 12:24

But like two full days feels so nice, and that is what we're doing.

SPEAKER_01 12:28

Yeah. But if you only have two days, like it is worth it.

SPEAKER_00 12:32

If you have only two days, it's better than not to be able to do that. The alternative is not, yeah. Correct. Speaking of boyfriend, is he arriving? Sounds like is it turbo engine? Um so yeah, we are coming back. The drive is a little annoying, but hopefully we're full on pancakes and the drive is not that bad right now.

SPEAKER_01 12:51

Yeah. Um I don't know what I was gonna say.

SPEAKER_00 12:56

What's new with you?

SPEAKER_01 12:57

What's new with me?

SPEAKER_00 12:58

Yeah, what's been

World Cup Crowds Meet NBA Finals

SPEAKER_00 12:59

going on with you? Like, you're are you back in sports right now? Are you following soccer?

SPEAKER_01 13:03

I have been watching some of the World Cup games. I guess I didn't talk about so I had a miserable like time kind of when the World Cup started because it was also the uh championship of the NBA finals.

SPEAKER_00 13:19

And I just the Knicks won, and this is good news for you.

SPEAKER_01 13:22

Yes, you have to for Josh, yeah. So we were going to a bar to watch the Knicks game, and in my mind, I was like, I'm gonna get a nice little seat at a table, I'm gonna like, you know, have some chips and salsa, have a couple drinks, watch the game. No, we arrived. It was the same day that one of the new like first World Cup games was happening. It was like Brazil versus someone.

SPEAKER_00 13:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 13:47

The I've never seen a more packed bar in my life.

SPEAKER_00 13:50

I didn't know soccer was the most watched sport in the world.

SPEAKER_01 13:53

I think I could have guessed that just because, like, so many other countries, like that's their main sport. But so then we're there and we're like, okay, the game's almost over. Like a bunch of these people are probably gonna get up and leave, and then we can get a seat. And we're standing there, and Josh was like, Oh, I talked to this guy that's watching the game, like he's gonna give us his seat when we when he's done. So we're like, Okay, we have somewhere to sit. Yeah, it wasn't an ideal, it was more like a bench. Since she was but it was still a seat. Okay, and so the game is over, and like I see the guys, like they're preparing to stand. I was like, Go over there. He goes over there, and at I'm not kidding, as these men are standing up, there is already a little person that has like basically slithered under them. Like there's their asses are like not even off of the thing yet, basically. And then Josh is like, Oh, um, these guys were giving us their seats, and they were just like, sorry, we're with our friends right there. Stop! And he's standing there, like, yeah, but what? Like they were giving us their seat, and they were kind of just look looking at him like too snoozy loose kind of vibe. And their friend, their whole friend group was like taking up this entire thing, and I was just like, You guys, it wasn't silver like, it was like a certain kind you there was a girl wearing a blazer watching a basketball game. Like, get out of my face. Yeah, you better go put a t-shirt on. You're wearing a blazer.

SPEAKER_00 15:27

No, at this bar, at this hipsters overrated bar, there was two sports games happening.

SPEAKER_01 15:34

Well, one ended and then one began. So I actually like this bar. It's nothing, the bar is a little like not um set up well for like a big sports games. It's like got like a bench on one side, but then the other side are kind of like U-shaped, and then there's like it's just like not really set up amazing.

SPEAKER_00 15:50

Sweet, were you there at the end of the soccer beginning? Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 15:54

So in our minds, but no, people had like were like, we're posted up here all day. We're watching both things.

SPEAKER_00 16:00

Uh people care about both things. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 16:03

Yeah. Which, like, yeah, because Brazil, like, there are some big players, like big well-known, like Messi Ronaldo, oh I think your name is.

SPEAKER_00 16:15

I think your nephew's very excited right now.

SPEAKER_01 16:16

Yeah, yeah. So anyway, that was uh so then sorry, had to stand for the whole basketball game. I my feet and knees the entire game, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:26

No fucking win.

SPEAKER_01 16:27

No one ever got up. Like I'm so serious. The a nice lady in front of me let us put our drinks on the little stool that was in front of the bench so we could have somewhere to set our drinks down. But like we fully I don't know, three hours.

SPEAKER_00 16:46

I cannot believe you like sports that much. I would have been out of there.

SPEAKER_01 16:50

I mean, it meant a lot to him. So, like, and and once the game started, I was like, because I was in a terrible mood because I was just I was so anxious. I I'm not kidding. It was this was a fire code hazard. I said I turned to him. I was like, how many people do you think are in here? What do you think the capacity is? He was like, Oh, this is they could get shut down very quickly, over capacity, yeah, for sure. And so I walked in immediately. My anxiety was through the roof. I couldn't imagine you could not walk anywhere without running, like brushing up against someone, run someone running into you, someone saying, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. Like it was constant. And I so anxiety was on 10. But then once the game started, like I had a good time and it was it was an exciting game. It was very like so like I was I had a good time. I was happy for him than the next one. Upset that last year I didn't have the same thing happen for me.

SPEAKER_00 17:44

I know, yes. Anyway, I don't know where I was going with this, but you were telling me about your sort of bad time during the beginning of soccer.

SPEAKER_01 17:51

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So then now the games, if a game is on, I've been watching it.

SPEAKER_00 17:55

Um is America play?

SPEAKER_01 17:57

Yeah, we actually are doing better than I think people thought we were.

SPEAKER_00 18:00

Where's our team located?

SPEAKER_01 18:02

So all the games happen, there's a bunch of different cities they're happening in and they're traveling.

SPEAKER_00 18:07

So hold on,

World Cup Format Explained Simply

SPEAKER_00 18:08

hold on, hold on. This is the World Cup. So, like, is it a situation where like all the teams in America pick their star players to come together to be the American team?

SPEAKER_01 18:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:19

Okay, yeah, and that's where Christian who's on our team that we would know.

SPEAKER_01 18:24

We're actually playing right now. We're playing Turkey right now.

SPEAKER_00 18:27

David Beckham was on for us once, right?

SPEAKER_01 18:30

He played for the galaxy like after he his like Premier League career ended, but he would have been playing for like England.

SPEAKER_00 18:38

Oh, because he's English, right?

SPEAKER_01 18:39

So the women's soccer team for us, they are incredible. They have won so many years, the entire World Cup. Like they're they've always been so good. Like our women's team has been always like sick.

SPEAKER_00 18:52

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 18:53

Um, but the men's team usually doesn't do that well, from what I know. Current men's national team roster. Here's what they look like.

SPEAKER_00 19:04

Cute.

SPEAKER_01 19:05

Yeah, we got some cuties.

SPEAKER_00 19:08

Terrible uniforms. Wow. Yeah. Terrible.

SPEAKER_01 19:11

Um, so yeah, but it's all it's like North America. So there's teams in there's games happening in Mexico, there's games happening in Canada too.

SPEAKER_00 19:18

Like is it like a Jersey pyramid situation?

SPEAKER_01 19:22

You're eliminated by Yeah, there so there's a there's rounds, there's two rounds. There's like a group round where there's like a five teams, six teams, I don't know, and they all play each other and there's no stakes. Like they all are like guaranteed a certain amount of games within that. And then however much many points you have, based on like when you win, you get a certain amount of points. If you tie, I think if you win, you get two points. If you tie, you get one point, if you lose, you get zero points. So at the end of that group stage, however many points you have, then that you can qualify to go on to the next round, which would be a bracket and a knockout. So you play a game, if you lose, you're out.

unknown 20:02

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 20:02

Yeah. So the standings are right now the World Cup or sorry, Mexico is in first place, then South Africa, then South Korea.

SPEAKER_00 20:12

But this is done by the time this episode is out, right?

SPEAKER_01 20:15

Is it? I don't think so.

SPEAKER_00 20:17

How is the World Cup a year long?

SPEAKER_01 20:20

No, but it's like weeks.

SPEAKER_00 20:22

Wow, it's like the Olympics, huh?

SPEAKER_01 20:24

Yeah. If it is done, I guess we'll know. But and I'm not at a I'm not an expert. That's just a high level, like I guess. And I might have said something wrong, but anyway. Um, something else I was going to say.

Dodgeball Loyalty And Pickleball Curiosity

SPEAKER_01 20:38

Tell me. Oh, dodgeball will be starting soon. I am gonna play in summer. I was the same team.

SPEAKER_00 20:45

Oh, it's the same people.

SPEAKER_01 20:46

Um a lot of there's a handful of people that aren't are taking this season off. Same leader. Um, I was not going to. I literally waited until the very last day that I could like pay. Yeah. Because I just like didn't know. But I was like, uh, it's something to do. It's still like a form of exercise, like move my body in some way.

SPEAKER_00 21:04

So is Josh doing it? It's still baseball season.

SPEAKER_01 21:08

Yeah. So no to that.

SPEAKER_00 21:11

Well, it is funny because two years ago today, I was given the memory of the time I hosted a barbecue at my place, and it was the night that I announced I was joining Dodgeball, and then everyone else joined.

SPEAKER_01 21:23

And then you quit on us.

SPEAKER_00 21:25

The gays are too caddy for me.

SPEAKER_01 21:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:30

But funny that that was two years ago. So you might as well. What's coming up then would be your two-year anniversary of playing.

SPEAKER_01 21:35

Wow. It seems like I've always played.

SPEAKER_00 21:38

You've jumped around.

SPEAKER_01 21:39

I actually kind of w want to like maybe transition to volleyball.

SPEAKER_00 21:44

Cute. I like that.

SPEAKER_01 21:46

But I do like now you know I have like change issues. And like now that I've like been in on this team and played with these people, I feel like Your loyalty. Yeah, what? I'm too loyal. I know. Like what? I'm just gonna leave.

SPEAKER_00 21:58

Boyfriend and I are thinking of Uh taking a pickleball.

SPEAKER_01 22:01

You should.

SPEAKER_00 22:02

Feels like the gay thing to do.

SPEAKER_01 22:04

It's like it feels like an everything. Everyone's playing pickleball. Yeah. I actually have never played.

SPEAKER_00 22:09

Me either.

SPEAKER_01 22:10

But I I hear that it's like a relatively easy thing to pick up.

SPEAKER_00 22:14

I've heard the same.

SPEAKER_01 22:15

So you should.

SPEAKER_00 22:16

We're gonna try.

SPEAKER_01 22:17

Yeah, so that's what I've been doing.

Brown Water Text That Sounds AI

SPEAKER_01 22:26

But oh my gosh, I have to tell you something so funny that my l landlords are interesting. Well, not really landlord, apartment manager. Okay. She's like an interesting lady. If you watch this, shout out to you. But the other day, it was just she responded to me in such a funny way that I didn't know what to say. Oh my god, I love it. I'm gonna read it to you.

SPEAKER_00 22:48

Okay, thank you. Did you hit her up first?

SPEAKER_01 22:50

I did because well, no, I didn't. I was a going to because there was one night that my kitchen sink water was just brown. And like I went to go fill up my water filter thing and I noticed that it was brown. And I was like, hmm, this is interesting. And it was like late at night. So I was just like, I'll text my apartment manager in the morning and just like be like, hey, heads up, because it they had not turned the water off that day. They had been working on the water like earlier in the week, but the water had been fine for days. So I was like, it's weird because they weren't working on it. So I feel like, is there a leak? Is there like maybe something is wrong? And so I was just gonna be like, hey, this is happening. Like, I don't know what steps you need to take. Maybe you need to contact the like department of water. I was just trying to like heads up.

So I just replied, I was like, okay, thanks. Yeah, I was gonna text you because the water was brown last night. And then I see her typing and then it goes away. And then this is the response I got. Good morning, Allison. Brown water is caused by rust and sediment being stirred up in the water lines after a water shutoff. While it can be alarming, it is not the cause of the plumbing issue you're experiencing. The recommended remedy is to simply run the water for a few minutes until it clears.

SPEAKER_00 24:19

Great.

SPEAKER_01 24:20

Nothing else. I was, and I just didn't respond because I was like, what? Obviously, I let the water run for a while.

Government Alien Files And UAP Sightings

SPEAKER_00 24:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:53

Are you aware of the alien situation?

SPEAKER_00 24:58

Which one?

That the Department of War like website released. Have you seen this?

SPEAKER_00 25:05

No.

SPEAKER_01 25:06

So I didn't know about it, but there was one day a few weeks ago where Caleb or yeah, a few weeks ago, Caleb was like on one. He was like, why is no one talking about the aliens? Why is no one talking about the these documents that were released? And I was like, I don't know what you're talking about. Then he sent us a bunch of things. And first of all, if you click on this website, this is war.gov, by the way. Okay. This website looks like a conspiracy theory website. Look at the font they're using.

SPEAKER_00 25:40

This is official black backdrop white letter.

SPEAKER_01 25:43

This is an official government website.

SPEAKER_00 25:45

Ridiculous.

SPEAKER_01 25:47

For the Department of War, also known as the what? What what did it used to be?

SPEAKER_00 25:52

The Department of War?

SPEAKER_01 25:53

Yeah, that is a new thing. That wasn't a thing.

SPEAKER_00 25:56

That is a Oh, I didn't know that. Yes, I did.

SPEAKER_01 25:59

Formerly Department of What was it called before? Like now I can't even Department of Defense.

SPEAKER_00 26:08

Oh, right, right, right, right. Yes.

SPEAKER_01 26:09

First of all, what is the why did we need the change?

SPEAKER_00 26:13

Talk to the talk to the man.

SPEAKER_01 26:15

Anyway, so there is all these files that the Department of War, the FBI, the CIA, like all released and unsealed these records of alien.

SPEAKER_00 26:33

Okay, this I know about.

SPEAKER_01 26:34

Okay. But have you like looked through them, read through them, seen the pictures? No. Okay. But there's just like not a lot of context. A lot of it is redacted. Like this one just says secret 1949. How do we know what that is or means? Right. It says like, um Yeah, there's nothing on this. Like, what does that mean? That's just a paper that says 1949. I could have written that yesterday.

SPEAKER_00 27:06

Right.

SPEAKER_01 27:07

But then a lot of it is redacted.

SPEAKER_00 27:10

Yeah, okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:11

Okay. But I was gonna read one of them that isn't. This picture Caleb sent to me.

SPEAKER_00 27:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:16

And he was like, no one's talking about this. And I was like, Caleb, don't believe everything you see. And then he like texts back a few minutes later and he was like, Okay, just kidding, this is an interpretation of a sighting. I was like, Yeah, okay. This is not a real photo, yeah. This is an interpretation. Yeah. Someone drew this. But anyway, so um, which is crazy because this picture, if you guys haven't seen it, you can go look at war.gov, but it's like a mountain range, and then there's like a a white looks like a jellyfish. Yeah, like it doesn't look like a cloud, it's like a was uh a baked potato, basically. A white baked potato just like floating in the air. And there was one time in Palm Springs, which Palm Springs is like pretty alien vibes, yeah, it is. And there was Haley and I were driving somewhere, and we looked at the mountains, and I'm so deadass right now. We looked at the mountains, and there was a big shadow on the mountain, like it was like sunny everywhere else. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, blue sky, not a single cloud. There is just a a portion of the mountain that had a shadow on it, and there was nothing that there could be a shadow of. Like it was we're looking at the mountain and it was above it, so it wasn't like we're looking from the side, and there was light on all the around it, like and we're looking, we both were like didn't say anything, and then we looked at each other and we're like, Do you see that? Like, that's weird, right?

SPEAKER_00 28:56

And then we just like had to go on with our lives, but so that's what happens because I also had a sighting like in 20, I want to say it was like 2014, 2015, with two other people in the car. We all saw it. It was these two lights, like we were at a stoplight, and they were they like it was before like a well, even if it wasn't a drone because I don't they weren't quite popular yet, but also it was two lights that came in super fast. They spun like this and then they went away.

SPEAKER_01 29:24

What year would you say this was?

SPEAKER_00 29:27

We were literally all like what the f yeah was that?

SPEAKER_01 29:32

Yeah. Well, yeah, I don't know. There's a bunch of these um like little documents in here, and like this one says everything's redacted, but this is from February 2026, and it's someone did an interview where they said they returned home approximately 9:15, uh, pulled into the driveway, which slopes downhill towards their residence. Notice an intense bright light hovering below the tree line in the middle of their backyard, got out of the vehicle and stared at the strange light for a few moments before reaching back into the vehicle to retrieve phone so they could take a video. At the same time, redacted was sitting inside expecting to arrive home, checked security camera and saw standing next to the vehicle looking at the backyard, then went outside to join to see what they were looking at. Described the light as a red sphere that was about a meter in diameter, described the red color as being brilliant and beautiful. Okay, had never seen anything of that color red before, stated the inside of the red sphere at the center, there appeared to be what described a white plasma sun about the size of a basketball. As they watched the orb UAP, which is the new UFO, moved up to their left. Then they noticed there was a second identical orb hovering hovering above. Okay, that's all of that.

SPEAKER_00 30:58

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 30:59

And then there's another this one says Umtice through the windshield there was a yellow ball of light that was yellow about the size of a basketball. Upon exiting the vehicle, saw a second ball of light, which was larger and about the size of a beach ball. The objects were behind a row of trees which have since been taken down in front of the section of trees between the property. Uh upon seeing the lights, came outside to view the objects. They viewed them move laterally to their left, passing through a passing behind a tree at the same height before disappearing. Oof. Yeah, so it's like one crazy that they're just like, here's here's the information. And two, what are we doing about it? That's what I want to know. Is it just, hey, we're just letting you know it exists, like we don't have a plan, or is it like I don't think it's threatening.

SPEAKER_00 32:01

I think the grander, more con like the the things that I'm seeing are like whatever it is that's like bigger and smarter than us is keeping us from destroying ourselves, actually.

SPEAKER_01 32:15

How so?

SPEAKER_00 32:16

This isn't really the podcast for it, but oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:20

I know this isn't like conspiracy theory pod. I know it's just like this It is all over the feeds, you're right. Because it is all over the feeds, and it is like a lot of videos I see I just write off as like someone trying to get views, so I guess like pop culturally, that's how I've always viewed anyone that's like the government's releasing alien files. Like, I just was like, it's not that cannot be a real thing, it's just clickbait basically.

SPEAKER_00 32:48

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:49

But the fact that they have like made this government website look all conspiracy theoried out, and yeah, it is super like it that makes it feel not real. Like, why are you like making it look creepy?

SPEAKER_00 33:01

Maybe they do that on purpose because it feels fake then.

SPEAKER_01 33:06

Yeah, I don't know. I'm just like, what is going on?

SPEAKER_00 33:09

I know. I mean, I don't know, but I know what you mean.

SPEAKER_01 33:11

And I hope they're like nice. Yeah. Anyway, that is what's on been on my feed and my algorithm.

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 38:00

Have you not seen any of these videos? Do you follow? Yeah. Okay. So Brian has really been pushing the bird agenda and is like these really cool stories about birds and like how these birds can like someone taught them how to like call FaceTime each other and they like made friends and like showed each other things on the FaceTime. Crows? No, they I don't know what kind of birds they were. Okay. Which, like, in theory is cool.

SPEAKER_00 38:29

SPEAKER_01 38:31

But I am so weirded out by birds.

SPEAKER_00 38:34

Yeah, you don't like birds.

SPEAKER_01 38:35

And then he just, my eyes were watering thinking about it. Then he I just saw another video of him talking about how he was like, I know you like all these comments, like telling me I'm weird talking about the birds, but I'm gonna tell you more. And then it was about this like book he read of this lady who had like her a bird friend, and she like taught it to do a bunch of things, and it like learned how to look in the mirror and like asked her what color he was, and it was a gray parrot or something. It was like, what color am I? Which it is cool, like sure, but also wow, putting it aside, it's like sure, an animal like being that intelligent is like objectively interesting and cool.

SPEAKER_00 39:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 39:22

But the fact that it's a bird, really they are sinister to me.

SPEAKER_00 39:27

It was like one of those, like, you know, vacations when I was like in eighth grade or whatever, but which, like, you know, you live and you learn.

SPEAKER_00 40:39

Truly. To take one step at a time.

SPEAKER_01 40:41

Okay. AI, the AI review on Google is telling me the drunk history segment you're referring to is titled The Study That Involved Dolphin Sex and LSD. Um, it recounts a bizarre 1960s NASA-funded research into human-dolphin communication led by Dr. John Lilly. The experiment believed that if humans could communicate with dolphins, it could give us a framework for talking to aliens.

SPEAKER_00 41:04

Interesting. It all comes back to aliens.

SPEAKER_01 41:07

The government even brought in an astronomer astronomer to help design ways to teach dolphins English. Hoping to boost communication and mimic human speech, Lily and the team administered acid to both researchers and the dolphin. So they were just high.

SPEAKER_00 41:22

Together.

SPEAKER_01 41:23

Together, which hate that.

SPEAKER_00 41:25

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 41:26

A volunteer named Margaret lived with a dolphin named Peter for six months in a flooded facility in the Virgin Islands. The goal was to have Peter mimic her human speech. Peter developed an obsessive romantic attachment to Margaret and became frustrated when his training sessions interfered with his infatuation. To keep the dolphin cooperative, Margaret provided manual. Nope. Never mind.

SPEAKER_00 41:48

I know exactly what you were gonna say. Ew.

SPEAKER_01 41:50

Never mind. I'm clicking out. That's why I am remembering that it freaked me out much as the birds freak me out.

SPEAKER_00 42:01

She was getting the dolphin off.

SPEAKER_01 42:02

Stop. Didn't need you to say that.

SPEAKER_00 42:04

It's just in case you guys were trying to put pieces together.

SPEAKER_01 44:57

Well.

SPEAKER_00 44:58

See what Daddy brought home.
