SPEAKER_05Hello, everyone, and welcome to We're Dead, the only podcast in the afterlife that does any traction.
SPEAKER_00That's right. Yeah, we died about a year ago now at this point, and we get a chance to sit down with a bunch of dead people and chat with them and see what they've been up to, how they died, uh, and maybe let them say their piece.
SPEAKER_05Exactly. Speaking of peace, Willied, how are you doing? I know last time we talked, you were uh you were combining to be a kicker.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Um, it's it went well. I think I was I feel I felt like I kicked great. Yeah. Uh, but then the interview portion happened and I think there's an interview portion? Yeah, because I gotta make sure you're sound of character in mind.
SPEAKER_05They make sure football players are sound of character in mind.
SPEAKER_00That surprises you.
SPEAKER_05Yes, they seem not sound of character and they all have STDs.
SPEAKER_00And they all have STDs.
SPEAKER_05You can be sound of character with an STD completely, and you can be sound of mind. I'm at C T.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Yeah, so they do they do it because they want to make sure that, you know, if they're with if they pick somebody, yeah, that that person sticks around for a while. Okay. Uh and will make a good impact and won't have off-the-field issues.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I just did I feel like I botched it.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
SPEAKER_00I feel like I botched it. I run an interview show, but the idea of getting interviewed, I think, threw me for a loop. Yeah, it's because I'm just asking questions.
SPEAKER_05Like today, we're interviewing like a famous inventor and kind of something paranormal, which I'm excited about. So you have tons of experience in this world.
SPEAKER_00I know, I know, but I'm always on the other side of it. I'm always the one asking questions. Yeah. I feel like I was like floundering, trying to think of like what was the nicest thing you did on earth? Like the nicest thing I did on earth.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. Okay, wait. Do you want to like practice? Because you get do you get a second chance or no?
SPEAKER_00I don't think I do, but maybe, but I could go again next year. I could go again next year. So yes.
SPEAKER_05They make you wait a year to kick it.
SPEAKER_00Let's let me do, let me do some, give me some questions. Okay. Here we go.
SPEAKER_05Uh, what would you say is your biggest strength kicking wise?
SPEAKER_00Foot.
SPEAKER_05Foot.
SPEAKER_00Foot.
SPEAKER_05That feels right to me. I know, right? Okay. What is your what is your biggest weakness kicking wise?
SPEAKER_00The other foot. Like I'm only good with one of them.
SPEAKER_05But that seems normal.
SPEAKER_00I see you? Okay, so I'm doing good. Yeah. But maybe you're also not intimidating, so it could be that's part of it.
SPEAKER_05Okay. You think you're intimidating? I don't know why I'm catching strays during an interview. This might be why you're not getting the job.
SPEAKER_00I was, I was, I'm telling you, I was antagonistic the whole time.
SPEAKER_05Okay, and I'm feeling that. Okay. Yeah, you don't you didn't book.
SPEAKER_00Man, I'm now wondering. And I don't mean to like put the blame on you at all, but like how much our relationship has caused me to be like become more antagonistic.
SPEAKER_06Excuse me?
SPEAKER_00I'm wonder okay. I'm wondering how much our relationship has Yeah, I heard you. Oh, sorry.
SPEAKER_05I am literally so much nicer than I need to be to you. I I have told you time and time again, you don't even understand how generous I am being with not popping off at you all the time.
SPEAKER_00Thank you. I uh once again, thank you for not popping off at me constantly. How are you?
SPEAKER_05I'm fine, I guess. Uh wow. Um, I think I told you I was interested in taking singing lessons.
SPEAKER_01Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_05But I didn't want to get big timed by Aretha Franklin in my class.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00Um, so I'm looking for kind of more of the um the like 27 club guys that died when they were 27, like your Kurt Cobain's and your um sorry, I was thinking 700 club, which is like whatever, yeah, super Christian.
SPEAKER_05No, I'm not looking for those guys. I actually profoundly trying to avoid those guys.
SPEAKER_00I would be surprised if they're here for being honest.
SPEAKER_05And me too. I haven't seen them.
SPEAKER_00Okay, 27. So Jimi Hendrix, yeah, Amy Winehouse.
SPEAKER_05Yep. I'm trying to get singing lessons from them because maybe River Phoenix.
SPEAKER_00No, he died younger.
SPEAKER_05And was he a singer?
SPEAKER_00You know, with River Phoenix, he could do everything. He could do everything. Sure.
SPEAKER_05Sure. Yeah. Um, so yeah, I I I I contacted Amy, hadn't gotten haven't gotten a total response because you have to, you know, you're you're in a way, I'm auditioning when I'm doing a voicemail because if they don't like my voice, maybe they don't want to teach me singing.
SPEAKER_00They'll hear the voicemail and they'll go, this person stands on chance.
SPEAKER_05Right. So I'm trying to be like, hi, it's Rick. You know, like give a lesson.
SPEAKER_00And that is your singing voice. Now, last on the last episode, I believe I sang a number of times, and I don't think you have the opportunity to bust one out. Is do you want to potentially bust one out right now?
SPEAKER_05Um, I feel like I don't.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_00Okay. I will say I was at one point, I was roasted in the comments. Uh, because apparently, apparently, uh this show is not just on our public access in the afterlife. Apparently, people are putting it on the internet.
SPEAKER_05We didn't know that. I guess thank you.
SPEAKER_00Thank you to whoever's doing that. Hopefully the money or the compensation, whatever comes our way. But people have been leaving like a bunch of comments. So I I took some of the I got I grabbed some of the comments and I thought it'd be fun for us to look at that.
SPEAKER_05I would love to.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, do you want to just maybe we can like look at one of them and you want to pick one at random? Yeah. Alright.
SPEAKER_05I can need to pick that one.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_00What's this one?
SPEAKER_05Yeah, this show is not good. One star. So okay.
SPEAKER_00Why did I write that one? You know, what's I should have noted that.
SPEAKER_05It's interesting. I'm using context clues here, and I think I get the gist. But I have to say, sometimes a star system is not what you think it is. Yeah, because like sometimes like a uh like one star.
SPEAKER_00I mean, one star is immensely powerful.
SPEAKER_05Right. Like the sun. In the mmm.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, or Beetlejuice, you know?
SPEAKER_05Right. So that's good. In the Michelin world, having one star is unbelievable.
SPEAKER_00Incredible.
SPEAKER_05It's it's not one star.
SPEAKER_00Maybe it's one Michelin star. The thing that makes it the thing that gives me pause is it does say is not good. And that's kind of hard to interpret differently.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, this show.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, this show is yeah.
SPEAKER_05This show. This show is not. What if there's missing punctuation?
SPEAKER_00Oh, yeah. This show is not, period. Good.
SPEAKER_05Good one star.
SPEAKER_00Good one star.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, this show is not still feels bad.
SPEAKER_00But what's nice is when you leave a star rating in the comments, it actually doesn't affect our star rating.
SPEAKER_05By just typing one star, it doesn't and actually I would encourage anyone who wants to rank us rank us one star to just write it. Um, because it's not registering.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, if you're if you're ranking us five stars, do that in the star meter thing.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, yeah. Um, awesome. Well, this was a really good segment idea.
SPEAKER_00Maybe, maybe, maybe the next one will be better.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I hope. Um, well, I'm kind of excited to talk to our first guest. I don't know how you feel.
SPEAKER_00I'm very excited. Uh, you know, I I was able to look a little bit of the history of this person, and um, obviously they're a famous inventor. I assume everybody knows their name.
SPEAKER_05Please welcome Alexander Graham Bell.
SPEAKER_03Hey. Hello there to my friends. Hi there. You doing all right? Yes. I'm doing all right.
SPEAKER_05You're finding your touchstone phrase.
SPEAKER_03Uh, yes. What would be one?
SPEAKER_05Uh, because you're Scottish, right?
SPEAKER_03Donkey. Donkey. Donkey. I think Donkey. Donkey is a good one.
SPEAKER_05I feel like that's what old Scotsmen were using. We're saying donkey. Is that where Shrek got it? I think Shrek got it from Donkey.
SPEAKER_00You think they started saying Donkey? Yeah. Okay, because all the Scottish people were saying donkey.
SPEAKER_03I just saw that movie, by the way. You just saw Shrek? Yes.
SPEAKER_00Does it feel accurate?
SPEAKER_03Uh incredibly so. Yes, it does.
SPEAKER_05May I ask to what?
SPEAKER_03Uh just the way that we were. The people that would mill about and whatnot. Uh-huh. Living in swamps, grabbing earwax. Yes.
SPEAKER_02Speaking of earwax, hey.
SPEAKER_05You probably are intimately equated with all things ear because you created the like US patent for the telephone.
SPEAKER_03That's right. So you've got one of my babies right here now here.
SPEAKER_05Now, what's interesting is nobody has called in on this phone, which is always available to call in. Okay. Um, so please, it would actually mean a lot to our guests.
SPEAKER_03Now would be a great time to call on. It'd be a great time to call in. Give us a couple of stars, if you will.
SPEAKER_05Please.
SPEAKER_03More than one would be great. Please.
SPEAKER_05And if it's not five, I guess you can just verbalize it over the phone because that doesn't really count. That's okay.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, we don't mind.
SPEAKER_05Um, yeah. Please tell us how did you come about creating that phone?
SPEAKER_03Well, let me tell you what. I am intimately aware of all things hearing. Yeah. For me, wife and me mum. Both deaf.
SPEAKER_04Wow. Okay.
SPEAKER_00This is something that I did know, and that's what you led you to start looking into. Yes. Trying to help people. Hey, yes. Right?
SPEAKER_03That's right. And I got to the phone. It got to the point where we made the advancements needed to create Donkey. Yeah, anytime you needed to switch. We can help you out, too. Donkey. Great. It got to the point where we were able to create the telephone. And it appealed not just to those who've hard of hearing, but don'tke. To people all over the world. Did it spread fast? Very fast. Yeah. Very fast. It caught on like, let's see. Um, what would you say today? Ska music. Oh.
SPEAKER_05Oh. I would almost say that's like we're like 25 years behind.
SPEAKER_03Are you a big ska guy? Or maybe third wave. Uh third wave. Sell out. Is now the third wave? I think. Real big fish, if my understanding. Yeah, real big fish. It's a bit ahead of my time. But uh, I believe that's third wave ska. And I'll tell you what, it's the best.
SPEAKER_05Wait, real big fish is ahead of your time?
SPEAKER_03Ahead of my time?
SPEAKER_05Well, this is interesting. Is that considered ahead?
SPEAKER_00So you just recently got into I just recently got I mean, it was I was before their time.
SPEAKER_03You were before their time.
SPEAKER_05They're ahead Fair enough.
SPEAKER_03There we go. There we go. Yeah, yeah. And I'll tell you what, what that leads me to why I'm here today. Oh. I know you look at me as some great inventor. Of course. As someone who's maybe led the way and has climbed mountains. But I'm here to tell you right now, I pale in comparison to the recent inventors of your time.
SPEAKER_00Stop it. You came here to tell us that you pale in comparison?
SPEAKER_03You hold me up in too lofty of esteem. No.
SPEAKER_05I almost feel like many people probably don't know who you are, but continue.
SPEAKER_03The other day I went out for dinner. And when I say I went out, I mean I went out for pizza. Okay. And for the first time in my life. And I've never seen this before. There was cheese within the crust. And I tell you right now, as God is my witness, that it may be the greatest invention I've ever witnessed.
SPEAKER_05Alexander.
SPEAKER_00Alexander, you compare to the telephone, you changed people's lives.
SPEAKER_05You pioneered work with people who are hard of hearing, who are deaf. You you made it so that people could communicate across the country. Soft crest pizza is just like a way to get a little extra cheese, which is really good.
SPEAKER_03It's really, really good. Where would you have put it? If you had meant making the pizza, where would you put it in the phone? I'm an idiot. Right, right. And the tip?
SPEAKER_00You would have shoved it in the tip of what? What do you So you mean the middle? The point? You don't make pizza a slice at a time. You make a big round one.
SPEAKER_03You put the big bulbous bounce of cheese right by the tip of the triangle?
SPEAKER_05I'm not the inventor.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, clearly. Well, good, yeah. I mean, uh, hey, that's as good as any idea I would have had. Don't care. I could not have thought of a place. And they did.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, they did. So I think what they do is they do they take basically mozzarella sticks and then kind of roll it into the.
SPEAKER_05I don't think they want to admit that they're taking string cheese and putting it in there. It's kind of worth it. But I think they're kind of doing that and just rolling a ridge around. But but Alexander, you said there's greater inventors of our time. Are there other things you're thinking about here besides we have stuff crap pizza? Stuff crap people. You have struck up people.
SPEAKER_00We got struck up people, which is good. I mean, I I I when I try and think of great inventors, a big thing that you did too is you invented many things, right? It wasn't just like one thing.
SPEAKER_05And you were so like philanthropic from what I understand. You were like the president of the National Geographic Society.
SPEAKER_03Well, and in that, yes, I did. Yes, I did. As well as one of the early mind detectors.
SPEAKER_00Mine detectors? To detective people have mines?
SPEAKER_03No, no, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_06Mine.
SPEAKER_03Mine. The destructive devices. Now, mine are the mines also destructive devices? They certainly can be. Yes, they can. Okay.
SPEAKER_00Okay, okay, okay. And then I saw metal detectors too. Which I guess is the same thing, probably, right? Yes.
SPEAKER_05Mine is like an offshoot. You detect metal and you go, could that be a mine?
SPEAKER_00Right.
SPEAKER_05And then maybe it's a watch.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you're like, oh, I found oh, I made a mind detector. And everybody else is like, that's kind of just a metal detector.
SPEAKER_05We're kind of using that to find paper clips.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, we could kind of find anything with it. Right. Yeah, you're limiting your scope by saying mind detector.
SPEAKER_03Absolutely. And and I say right now, that's all will and good.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_03But you tell me right now, what are you using more? A mind detector? Okay. Or are you using shampoo and conditioner in one bottle?
SPEAKER_05So, okay.
SPEAKER_03I use it every day.
SPEAKER_00You don't.
SPEAKER_05You do?
SPEAKER_00You do? Wait, I uh shampoo and conditioning. Yeah. You do?
unknownYou have a shampoo.
SPEAKER_00What? I use it for my beard. Oh. Wow.
SPEAKER_05Sorry.
SPEAKER_00I'm so surprised why you guys are so surprised.
SPEAKER_05Everybody was thinking about it. We were all kind of thinking about it. So I, you know, we were just.
SPEAKER_03You just keep it, you keep it tight on top? I keep it tight on top. Hey, you keep it tight, it looks good on you. A lot of people can pull it off. You do.
SPEAKER_05Completely.
SPEAKER_03Thank you. You do shampoo and conditioner on the beard? On my beard.
SPEAKER_00That's right. Really? Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05I can't do that condition.
SPEAKER_00I got really oily skin and it followed me into through my death. I don't should I be doing that with my mustache?
SPEAKER_05Um, do you what combination? Do you have combination? Dry, oily, dry skin, oily skin. What do you think?
SPEAKER_00I think I have more than the normal. If I'm ranking the inventions of the four that we've bit discussed, I'm still putting phone number one.
SPEAKER_05I'm putting phone, then stuffed crust pizza very close behind because you've reminded me that people are doing stuff to crust that is awesome. Like making it into a breadstick.
SPEAKER_00We're doing like turbo crust.
SPEAKER_05What's turbo crust?
SPEAKER_00What's turbo crust? Jets pizza does the turbo crust where they have.
SPEAKER_05Well that seems like a name just because they're called Jets Pizza.
SPEAKER_00Well, they turbo, you know, like turbo it all up, you know? From zero to turbo. It's turboed. Between zero and turbo, theirs goes all the way to turbo. Yeah, but I don't even know what that means. Well, think about what's not turbo. Plain? Opposite. Yes. Straight up opposite.
SPEAKER_05Fried turtle.
SPEAKER_00Turtle? Not turbo. I don't think they're doing a turtle crust. Turtle crust. Turtle crust.
SPEAKER_05Ooh.
SPEAKER_00Ooh, good or ooh bad?
SPEAKER_05I don't know.
SPEAKER_00Because you said ooh gross and then you smiled after. You went, ooh. Ooh. So mine is phone, stuffed crust pizza, shampoo and conditioner, and minded detection.
SPEAKER_05I go shampoo and conditioner dead last. I can't use that shit.
SPEAKER_00What? What?
SPEAKER_05When you have a product that does two things, they do both of them poorly.
SPEAKER_00Oh.
SPEAKER_05But a metal detector does one thing, detects metal.
SPEAKER_00Well, but it to be fair, no offense, it detects too many things. Because originally it was just for mines. But now it's detecting everything.
SPEAKER_05Listen, okay. If my shampoo was so good that it also like wiped my ass, that's awesome. But shampoo and conditioner is just a worse shampoo and a worse conditioner in one bottle.
SPEAKER_03I see. I see. Okay, okay. Okay. Hey, well, well, potato, potato. We uh agree to disagree on these things.
SPEAKER_00Okay, but you also, I guess this isn't an invention, but you founded ain't ATT. You've he founded Yeah, he was a co-founder, I believe.
SPEAKER_03I was a co-founder of ATT. Alexander Bell Grim Bell. Bell. Used to have Bell in the name, I believe.
SPEAKER_05Which part? Yeah, tell tele telebells.
SPEAKER_03Telecommunications. Yeah, I guess there's no really big way to find this out. Uh, but I'm pretty sure the Bell was in the name of ATD at some point. I believe it does the logo.
SPEAKER_05The logo, I think, was a bell, but it's a circle about it. It's just a circle now.
SPEAKER_03It's just a circle now. So it's like a blue circle. It's just a blue. It kind of looks like a planet, but it's but it's got lines through it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00It's still going strong though. Which for I mean over a century. Okay, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Verizon's on our heels. It's hot on our heels.
SPEAKER_00You still pay attention.

SPEAKER_00And once again, this is this is not on you. But phones have become kind of like one of the worst things that ever happened to society. But that's not your phone.
SPEAKER_05I don't know if you're aware what Steve Jobs and his little hooligans did. He's up here.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, they kind of ruined your phone.

SPEAKER_03That's exactly why I've been pretending to not have a smartphone. I don't want to look like a simp. Can you explain one more time, real quick? What is a simp again?
SPEAKER_05A simp is like someone who's just like simple, like you're simping for something. Like if I was simping for um Verizon, I might like pepper their quote into this cable access show to seem popular because I'm simping for them. Like they didn't even ask me.

SPEAKER_05And it shows either way. Sorry. I never get unprofessional. Continue, Cletus.
SPEAKER_01Well, I crash landed on my way to Vegas because I count cards. And I had watched uh uh minute movies about people counting cards. Which I think should be legal. I think it's stupid.
SPEAKER_05I think it's stupid that you shouldn't count. You're not supposed to.
SPEAKER_01Is it illegal?
SPEAKER_05It's not okay, sorry. It's not illegal. It's frowned upon.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's frowned upon. They might get kicked out. They definitely don't like it. They don't like it.
SPEAKER_05I think they should. You're just being good at the game.
SPEAKER_01This is exactly this is my point.
unknownWe're getting on.
SPEAKER_00You guys are yeah, you guys are off.
SPEAKER_05Continue.
SPEAKER_00How did you so you went to Vegas, but uh I feel like maybe the bigger question is how did you get to Earth? Is maybe a bigger question.
SPEAKER_05That's a huge question.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it was a very long trip. Okay, I guess I could understand that. I I couldn't break that. You want to know the example of the plan?
SPEAKER_00I mean, nobody from Earth has been to any other planet, period. Nobody from Earth has been to any other planet.
SPEAKER_05Which feels wrong. It feels like we should have been on Mars by now.
SPEAKER_00I know. Like but and even farther. I mean, there's no are you from Mars? Are you from this solar system?
SPEAKER_05I hate to be the person that's asking you where you're from, but where are you from?
SPEAKER_01What do you mean when you ask me this?
SPEAKER_05I I mean where your new family is from Where were you born?
SPEAKER_01Where where was I born?
SPEAKER_05Well, where's your what race are you?
SPEAKER_00Like just any of them.
SPEAKER_01Wow. Unbelievable. Wallied.
SPEAKER_05I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_01I never would have thought. It's fascinating. It's fascinating. And what is so fascinating?
SPEAKER_05Are those your eyes or are those sunglasses?
SPEAKER_01Oh, I'm sorry.
unknownFuck.
SPEAKER_00You're messing it up. Don't mess it up with that.
SPEAKER_05You messed it up. You asked just. I'm being the bad guy. You race checked.
SPEAKER_01I'm not. I'm I do want to check your race. What's your race? I can't believe I have to say this. I am black. And these are my eyes. You're okay.
SPEAKER_05I can't believe I have to say this. I'm black and these are my eyes.
SPEAKER_00You're your first. Are you black as uh as somebody on earth would be black, or are you black for somebody back home?
SPEAKER_01Oh, so I'm not black enough. Which is the blackest black? Which is the real black?
SPEAKER_00There's no real black, but on the Is black a term you picked up on earth, or is it something you said in your home world?
SPEAKER_01I am I am using terms that would be familiar to you. I'm speaking.
SPEAKER_05You don't have to code switch for us. I I would love to know your home terms.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. My okay. So my race of people is chameleon. And I chose black because I was coming to Nevada and I did not want to wear a whole lot of sunscreen.
SPEAKER_00Oh, that's very wise. High melanin count. Yes. That's very smart.
SPEAKER_05I've never been sunburned.
SPEAKER_00Summered? Sunburned. Sunburned. Oh, sunburned.
SPEAKER_05You've never been sunburned? No.
SPEAKER_00Oh, I guess you can't swim, so you don't spend time in a pool. So that makes sense.
SPEAKER_05What is going on?
SPEAKER_01Wait, can you really not swim?
SPEAKER_05No.
SPEAKER_01Really? With all this water?
SPEAKER_05You don't have water on your planet?
SPEAKER_01Not this much.
SPEAKER_00You're like a dune. Or whatever that's the planet's called. Uh yeah, we are like a dune. Can we get someone else?
SPEAKER_05Yeah, please don't like it's like when people are like, naun is Indian pizza. I'm like, I guess it's just it's a type of bread, isn't that easier?
SPEAKER_00I would just like to know more about your homeworld. It feels like you're holding out on me. And maybe, maybe I will say, maybe I am uh taking you back to your time at Area 51 where they were, I'm sure, interviewing you and asking you questions and probing you and whatnot.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, maybe a better question. You were on a planet of chameleons, right?
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Why why leave? Uh why go to Earth? Great question.
SPEAKER_01So I've learned a lot about Earth, and it is it is the urge of all intelligent beings to travel. And you you get curious about different things and you want to learn about it and experience it for yourself. Yeah, I get it. The Earth has a very bad rap.
SPEAKER_05Sure.
SPEAKER_01Why?
SPEAKER_05I think Earth is like America for planets. Like we're humiliating. Compared to the other planets, it's very bad.
SPEAKER_01You all don't have a whole lot of time left. What? What? It doesn't look like we're dead.
SPEAKER_00It doesn't affect us.
SPEAKER_05It doesn't affect us, but I'm curious. You have kids. You should fucking give a shit about your kids for once.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I guess I but I did know I did bring them into the world knowing that we have like 30 years left.
SPEAKER_05Which is selfish.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that's fair. How much time does Earth have? Do you know?
SPEAKER_01Maybe a billion years.
SPEAKER_05Oh okay that's actually quite a long time for Earth.
SPEAKER_01Okay. I for us, that's like wait, do you live like how long do you live? I'm 231 years old.
SPEAKER_00Is that young or old for your chameleon race?
SPEAKER_01How old do I look? Honestly, like 30?
SPEAKER_05I think chameleon don't crack. You look you look like 34.
SPEAKER_01I am of medium age. Medium age. Okay.
SPEAKER_00So you live to maybe 500 or so.
SPEAKER_01And in that amount of time, you don't get to see a whole lot of things. It's a limited amount. So I wanted to see as much as I could. And if I was going to be here, I understood that I needed money. Yeah, really important on Earth.
SPEAKER_05Okay, so you wanted to go to Vegas.
SPEAKER_01Mm-hmm. Okay. And count cards.
SPEAKER_05And count cards. So then how did you end up getting captured in Area 51?
SPEAKER_01I crashed.
SPEAKER_05You crashed your spaceship?
SPEAKER_00Oh, so you didn't even get to Vegas at all. I did not get to Vegas.
SPEAKER_01Man, Cletus, I'm sorry. I crashed. And they found me.
SPEAKER_05And did they kill you or were you dead?
SPEAKER_01They let me die. So yes, they they are they are complicit. Now that's an interesting philosophical question.
SPEAKER_00If you see somebody die and you let them die, did you kill them?
SPEAKER_01I don't think they understood that aliens need food. Wait a second. You guys also need food.
SPEAKER_05We do. We do need food. So they that should have been not a coach.
SPEAKER_01They did know. They absolutely know that yeah, what else?
SPEAKER_05Like, what did you you died from like the accident? Like you you they let you just like fester after your crash?
SPEAKER_01They held me and in a room in a basement. Oh, so while you were alive? While I was alive. What?
SPEAKER_05They seemed more complicit by the second.
SPEAKER_01Absolutely. They weren't sure what to do and they watched me do my uh karate.
SPEAKER_05What? That's a new information.
SPEAKER_01I'm sorry, you do a you do karate. I pre I practice I you practice the R? Yes. I practice the you don't do karate.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you were just you just said karate. You do marijuana drugs. Am I wrong? Didn't you just say I was doing some of my karate?
SPEAKER_05We can run it back. Probably not.
SPEAKER_00Probably not. Okay. I'm sorry. So you were making the art of karate in your room.
SPEAKER_01Okay. In in in the basement that I was in the basement room that I was given.
SPEAKER_00Was it just art or was it purposeful? Were you trying to like kick down a gate or summon something? Like, what was the point of making karate?
SPEAKER_01I was posturing. Um and a little bit too well because they were afraid. They got intimidated. They were intimidated.
SPEAKER_05Now, question could you not just blend into the walls because you're a chameleon? Sorry. No, crap.
SPEAKER_01The answer is yes. God damn it. I I'm real You know what? I I I I fault the crash for me not coming up with that brilliant idea. Yeah. That is a good idea. The crash must have caused some kind of uh it it shook up my head.
SPEAKER_05CTE. Or uh what did I say earlier? STD.
SPEAKER_00Maybe it gave you an STD. And syphilis does mess with your brain. So maybe you got syphilis from the crass and it messed with your brain. Interesting. Maybe it's one of those things where you were not immune to it. It's the whole like uh when colonizers come and they start getting they bring the diseases. Yeah, you came to Earth and you weren't ready for an STD.
SPEAKER_05Well, because Earth, we have like microplastics everywhere. We have people not getting tested for stuff. We just like let COVID happen for a long time.
SPEAKER_00I have a question about your death too. Yes. Now I will say, and I've not explored the entire afterlife. I've yet to see another alien being. Are you in our afterlife and there is a separate alien afterlife that you can't access?
SPEAKER_01That's what I suspect. I have never seen another alien being here. Oh that's a nightmare.
SPEAKER_05That means you're not being let into some cool alien afterlife.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. I mean, if if Earth sucks, okay, I guess we're running that assumption. If Earth sucks compared to other planets.
SPEAKER_05Who cares?
SPEAKER_00It's cool.
SPEAKER_05Who fucking cares?
SPEAKER_00It's a miracle that it is a thing.
SPEAKER_01You know what? It's cute. Okay. I like when people are proud of where they're. Thank you. No matter how shitty.
SPEAKER_00But if Earth is so shitty, I'm sure afterlife is shitty compared to what would be your alien afterlife. I'm sure as well.
SPEAKER_05I feel like Alien Afterlife, if I'm just guessing, I feel like it's like parties all the time. I feel like everyone, it's like an orgy.
SPEAKER_00I'm now realizing I've been to like no parties since I died.
SPEAKER_05That's a you thing. For sure. I've definitely been to parties. No. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01What are the odds, Wally? Just think about it. What are the odds that there have been zero parties this whole time?
SPEAKER_00I get to get do get-togethers, but like with like party thumping, people drinking, yeah. Doing drugs. There's no way people are doing that up here.
SPEAKER_05I literally told you I was hanging out with the guys from the 27 Club.
SPEAKER_00Don't those Christians, they don't drink or anything.
SPEAKER_05Kirk O'Bain?
SPEAKER_01Oh, don't Kirk Obain. I party with Jimi Hendrix the other day.
SPEAKER_00You did? I'm sure I can see him and an alien getting along. I feel like is alien offensive?
SPEAKER_01No, no.
SPEAKER_00Okay, okay.
SPEAKER_01Why would that be offensive? Is what I am.
SPEAKER_05Well This is like when people on earth are like, is it offensive to be like you're Asian? I'm like, it speaks more about you that you think that that's offensive.
SPEAKER_01Why would that be offensive?
SPEAKER_00Exactly. I'm proud of Asian. You're you're Asian to you.
SPEAKER_05The way you say it sounds hurtful.
SPEAKER_00I'm sorry, I'm also Asian.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, and just the way you're saying it, I don't know. There's like a hate to it.
SPEAKER_00But alien, you're not an alien to yourself. You're only an alien to us.
SPEAKER_05Right. Like I'm not diverse.
SPEAKER_00Like you're alien too.
SPEAKER_05I'm diverse in a group of people.
SPEAKER_01Yes.
SPEAKER_00Yes, yes, yes.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. I understand where I am. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. It's fine for you to say that I am an alien. Okay. Here I am an alien. I understand this. Like if you go to Mexico, you are an American, correct?
SPEAKER_00Yes, but once again, that is where the American is who you are, regardless of where you go.
SPEAKER_05I don't know. You're stepping in America.
SPEAKER_00Okay, I'm sorry, alien.
SPEAKER_05It sounds bad.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Okay. Okay, alien, move on. You know what? I actually I have uh I've been doing a little bit of work to maybe grow ourselves as a podcast. Yes. So I can actually got a couple segment ideas. Oh, I'd love to do a segment. Interested in doing a segment. Sure. Okay.
SPEAKER_05And is a segment what like a part of your body might be called?
SPEAKER_01What? Okay. We can cut that. Okay, we can't guess if you I guess if you really want all this.
SPEAKER_00Go ahead and pick one of these and just give it to me. Pick one at random. Cut that. I'm trying to play it. Just give it to me. Oh. Okay. Uh, this game is called Kimia Socks. Um, so we lot we learned in our last episode that there's a high likely chance that Kimia Bapornia was the one that led to our death.
SPEAKER_05And if you don't know who Kimmya is, she's a terrifically untalented comedian on Earth.
SPEAKER_00Well, don't start the game yet.
SPEAKER_05God, I just can't help but shit on Kimia. Okay.
SPEAKER_00Okay, so this is Kimia sucks segment, is we just we go around and we all say one bad thing about Kimmy Bapornia.
SPEAKER_05Okay. I'm ready. Okay.
SPEAKER_00Locked and loaded.
SPEAKER_05Not even, firstly, she killed us. Uh-huh. So whatever.
SPEAKER_00That sucks.
SPEAKER_05But one, that sucks. Two, it's literally so typical of her. Because what? Because she is just like kind of like just like so not a like just like a fun or funny and delightful person. Yeah. She has to take other people down. What happened to curly haired women supporting curly haired women? That's what I have.
SPEAKER_00Thank you. All right, Alien.
SPEAKER_01Uh Cletus. Um, have you ever seen her on television at a at a Sparks game?
SPEAKER_05Yeah. She's always supporting women's basketball and she's on TV shows.
SPEAKER_01It's a problem.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I agree. Why can't I be on television?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. And what?
SPEAKER_05Because I'm bad?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Well, what?
SPEAKER_05Just because I do a bad audition, I'm not allowed to be on television. Okay.
SPEAKER_01It really, it's I I say, you know what I say? I say that that is infringing on your right of freedom of speech. Thank you. You should be able to be bad on television.
SPEAKER_05Because Kimia is like booking all these roles because she's really talented and stuff or whatever the fuck. And I'm like, they're gatekeeping. Yeah, it's kind of called gatekeeping when you get a job by yourself.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Okay. Uh mine is um, you know, I haven't seen her, but I bet you she's really bad at dodgeball. I've never seen her do it, but she probably sucks at dodgeball.
SPEAKER_05I bet you if I threw a ball at Kimmya, she'd probably move into it. Yeah, she'd probably go, let me move toward it.
SPEAKER_01Fucking idiot. I've seen it. And you're right. Really? It is unbelievable.
SPEAKER_05She killed us because she knows we're right. Stinks. All right. Well, that was an awesome segment.
unknownGreat.
SPEAKER_05Cool.
SPEAKER_00Okay, after the comment thing, I was a little worried about the segment. Yeah. So I'm glad that worked out.
SPEAKER_05We're gonna get up to five stars tonight.
SPEAKER_00Tonight. Uh all right. Well, great. Um, I think that maybe we should take a commercial break and we can get you and Alexander Graham Bell on the couch together. I'm so excited. And I'm pumped.
SPEAKER_04We'll be right back.
SPEAKER_05I love the ozone, but I hate the calories. Then you'll love new Diet O chips. All the great taste of the ozone with half the calories of regular ozone. Grab them while they're still hot. And we're back. Uleed. I am so excited for this part of our podcast always.
SPEAKER_00Me too. I love introducing people to you, but we also get the chance to introduce them to each other. So please welcome back to the show, Khalidas and Alexander Graham Bell.
SPEAKER_03Thank you for having me back. Ahoy hoy. Ahoy hoy.
SPEAKER_01Ahoy hoy. Is that a reference to something, or is that just how you greet? According to our radio waves, uh, that was the first message.
SPEAKER_05Ahoy hoy. Isn't that something a guy on The Simpsons says?
SPEAKER_01You think he's dope? It's because he's so old. No, you're talking about Mr. Burns. Mr. Burns says Ahoy? Ahoy?
SPEAKER_05Yeah. Yes. Sorry. Uh I'm sorry I didn't name him. Mr. Burns says that on The Simpsons. That's not what you're talking about.
SPEAKER_01I think it's what I am talking about.
SPEAKER_00Yes.
SPEAKER_05Oh, that's what the real phone.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, the first word to we could talk about The Simpsons if you like. No, no, no.
SPEAKER_05I don't want to make anyone talk about The Simpsons. It's very funny.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I will say now this is interesting because you, when you presented the idea of a phone, I believe wanted people to say ahoy instead of hello. Does it feel like do you what's uh what's with hello? Why don't you like hello?
SPEAKER_03I'd I'll tell you what, it's not that I don't like it. In fact, it's quite the opposite. I like that people made it their own. Once I gave the gift, then you do what you will with it. It's not for me. It's like um it's like music. Uh are you familiar with the uh song Alive by Pearl Jam? No, I haven't gotten that one yet.
SPEAKER_05Well, I'm still alive.
SPEAKER_01Oh that's me singing.
SPEAKER_00Oh, you finally sang.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I can do Eddie Vetter's range.
SPEAKER_03You've been taking some voice lessons in the shows.
SPEAKER_05Stop it. No, I've been taking voice lessons with River Phoenix.
SPEAKER_03It's good. It's good. It's good. Yeah, it's good. Anyways, the point I was trying to make there. Yeah, what was the point of that? Uh just that initially it was a more of a down and a little bit more of a depressing song. Yeah. But the public in the years since have taken it on to be more of a celebratory song, a celebration of life. And that's just what happens with hello. But my question to you, if you don't mind me asking your question or two. Sure. Donkey. Listen, I would love to know. What is your what was your method of communication on your planet? He would have that.
SPEAKER_01Whoa, we it's mostly telepathic. Oh. Telewhat? Telepathic.
SPEAKER_05Wait, do you? Telepathic? Does that bum you out, Alexander?
SPEAKER_03It just light years beyond what I was ever capable of. It's incredible to hear. I wish.
SPEAKER_05You know, this is something interesting about both of you. Yeah. Because Alexander, I feel it has been very um, he's comparing himself to a lot of inventions that came after him, like stuff crust pizza. And you, I I know you're not from the future, but you're probably from a uh a planet that has different technology than us. That's probably more impressive.
SPEAKER_01Yes, but definitely.
SPEAKER_05Yeah. What are some inventions on your planet now that you've seen what Earth is like?
SPEAKER_01A spaceship. Spaceship's big. It's pretty a big one. Yeah, it's a big one. Yeah, it's a big thing.
SPEAKER_05So pizza lazy boy spaceship phone.
SPEAKER_00You go lazy boy above spaceship.
SPEAKER_05Spaceship first, because spaceship can have lazy boy in it. And then lazy boy.
SPEAKER_00Well, spaceship can have anything in it.
SPEAKER_01Kind of. We have pizza in it. We have one. We we have the game of golf on our planet. Yeah. But we only use one club.
SPEAKER_00Well, does it does it take different forms?
SPEAKER_01No. It just works for everything.
SPEAKER_05That's honestly very efficient. I mean, because did Scotland invent golf?
SPEAKER_03The birthplace of Scott Golf. Yes. Donkey. Great. Donkey.
SPEAKER_05Donkey. Golf. Donkey.
SPEAKER_03Donkey. Yes. It's a course. Yes, yes, yes.
SPEAKER_05Because there's so many um golf courses called like St. Andrews or things like that.
SPEAKER_00And the name And that's Scottish. Okay, gotcha, gotcha. St. Andrews is Scottish. It's gotta be. Yes, it's got to be. And none of but none of the majors are in Scotland, right? For the PGA? No. That's yes. Yes or no? Which one? I'll say the open. No. The openness, the open championship is in Scotland.
SPEAKER_05Are you a golf fan? How are you paying attention to Earth Sports?
SPEAKER_01Listen, since I died and I died in Vegas, and these guys beat me with golf clubs, I had to figure out. Did you karate them? Or yeah. Did you make karate at them? I well, yeah, once they started swinging golf clubs. First, I was doing my karate by myself. Yeah. I was I was just practicing of karate.
SPEAKER_00Well, I you did say you were you were posturing.
SPEAKER_01It was posturing. That didn't work very well, though. And it didn't work. They came at me. With golf clubs.
SPEAKER_05It's interesting because the U.S.
SPEAKER_00government's coming at you with golf clubs.
SPEAKER_05We were having a conversation on whether they were complicit in your death, and I would say they are solely to blame.
SPEAKER_00I would agree. I would agree. It seems like it's their fault. I was trying to give them every benefit of the doubt. The U.S. government, you do not need to give the benefit of the doubt.
SPEAKER_03Hey, uh before you admit your demise in Vegas, did you get to see the blue man group? Let me adjust my eyes.
SPEAKER_01Please. The blue man group. Yes. Oh no. No! I never got to see the blue man.
SPEAKER_05Are you are you asking that because he can turn blue? He kind of looks like he could be Ixnay. In the blue. Well, both of you kind of look like both of you kind of look like you could be in the How do you mean?
SPEAKER_00What are you saying? Because we would be excellent drummers, I assume is what you're saying, right? Is that what you mean?
SPEAKER_03Um no. It's a I believe it's because only one of us would have a real use for the shampoo of conditional combination in this for summer.
SPEAKER_05Yes.
SPEAKER_03Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_00Okay. Now the US government beat you to death with golf box. And I'm wondering, are you certain that they knew you were an alien?
SPEAKER_05Yeah, they do that to people all the time.
SPEAKER_00Is that what you mean? That is kind of what I'm implying. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05It's entirely possible. If they thought you were an alien, you would have been hoisted onto a cushion and celebrated. But if they thought you were a person, and not to be political, you chose a type of person that gets targeted by the US government a lot. Damn.
SPEAKER_01I didn't want to say you chose, I guess, our most targeted race.
SPEAKER_05I don't mean to.
SPEAKER_01My god. You all are onto something.
SPEAKER_05I really hate to be onto something.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. I didn't weigh in all the factors. You just you would not have known.
SPEAKER_00You came to the planet, you thought hi, Melanin count. That's that's is so logic. You did not know unless maybe you were aware of the societal uh implications. Barry White always seemed so happy.
SPEAKER_05That could be misleading if that's your gauge.
SPEAKER_00I was saying he's fucking lying. You know, when he's singing, it's a lie.
SPEAKER_03And we all know some of our greatest clowns are also our saddest. It's true. Robin Williams.
SPEAKER_04Very sad. Very sad.
SPEAKER_00Extreme Bozo. Bozo was very scary.
SPEAKER_04John Wayne Gacy. One of our greatest clowns.
SPEAKER_03One of our greatest clowns. Really sad. The only thing that could have made him scarier is clown makeup, I'd imagine.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, I mean, well.
SPEAKER_00We have learned that he is up here around. And uh Reka has said in the past that I do give John Wayne Gacy vibes. Yeah. You do.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. I couldn't put my finger on it. You agree.
SPEAKER_00You agree? I said it. And what? I know you agree, but how do you why do you agree?
SPEAKER_01A little sad. I'm a little sad. It's inside you.
SPEAKER_05Are you also trying to do a Scottish accent?
SPEAKER_01Oh. Don't get it. It's my chameleon. That's incredible.
SPEAKER_05You know, we never got word. How did you die, Alexander Graham?
SPEAKER_00Oh, that's a good question.
SPEAKER_03Can I be honest with you? We love nothing more. I died in America. In the place that was soon to become but not was yet in Las Vegas.
SPEAKER_05That is crazy. I feel sick.
SPEAKER_02That's crazy.
SPEAKER_05Wow. There's no way you would murder it at Area 51. That would be crazy.
SPEAKER_03I was at Area 51. I had just traveled from what would become New York, New York. And made my way to what then became New Amsterdam. Area 51. New York, New York, the hotel and casino.
SPEAKER_06Sorry.
SPEAKER_05Got it. I was gonna say. It was like New Amsterdam when you were there.
SPEAKER_00New York was around.
SPEAKER_05Battle of the Roses.
SPEAKER_00I don't know. From the from the hotel.
SPEAKER_05Hotel New York, New York, like circumstances.
SPEAKER_03Yes, the more the more famous one. Yes of the two locations. But then traveled to what became Area 51, where he met me devies. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, I was crushed. What? By a large object.
SPEAKER_05No. Was it identified or unidentified? Was it identified or unidentified?
SPEAKER_01It was unidentified. No. I'm sorry, man. No. I'm really sorry.
SPEAKER_05You didn't know you hit a person?
SPEAKER_01I had no idea. The spaceship is going so fast and it's so big. You don't know what else you get gotten away. Oh no.
SPEAKER_03That's why my mind detector was going off like crazy right before the end.
SPEAKER_05You should have pointed it up. I should have pointed it up.
SPEAKER_00You would have seen. Oh you know what I hate about this is it's kind of making me take the U.S. government side. Why they should have beaten into that? Wait, what? Hey, hey. You are an impressive individual. You were creating things.
SPEAKER_03I'm not cheese crushed.
SPEAKER_00You are. I'm gonna give you more credit than you deserve. No.
SPEAKER_05Take your flowers, Alexander.
SPEAKER_00You invented the phone. You invented, you were helping people who had hearing difficulties. It's really cool. Anyone who kills you maybe deserves to get beaten to death with golf clubs, is all I'm saying.
SPEAKER_05Unless I'll take it. Did you do anything really important on your planet?
SPEAKER_00I really didn't.
SPEAKER_05Currently, Alexander might be the most helpful.
SPEAKER_00I just said I really didn't.
SPEAKER_05Cool. All right. Well, that's that, I guess.
SPEAKER_00Well, you know what? Early uh when I when I was doing my uh interviews for the combine, I was asked the question what was the best thing I did while I was alive? Um, and I had a shitty answer, but I'd love to hear what a combine?
SPEAKER_05I'm do you know what a combine is?
SPEAKER_03A combine is like a for a pretzel cheese in the middle combo.
SPEAKER_05Oh combo.
SPEAKER_03Oh combos again. Yeah, unbelievable.
SPEAKER_05Unreal. Okay, combo self crest pizza kind of hyphen combos because it's a similar idea.
SPEAKER_00Similar idea.
SPEAKER_05Pizza combos.
