🎙️ Episode 10 – "Where Did They Go? Did E.T. Take Them Home?"

They were front-page headlines. Breaking news. Nonstop coverage.

Then....... nothing.

In Episode 10 of Podpinions, Rich and Bruce break down a growing pattern: stories that dominate the media… and then suddenly disappear. Epstein. Alien sightings. Political scandals. Media narratives flipped and dropped without explanation. Now, Adam Schiff is back in the spotlight — but will his story stick, or vanish like the rest?

Is it media fatigue, selective reporting, or something stranger?

We’re asking the question nobody else is:
- Where did they go?
- Did E.T. take them home?

Welcome to Pod pinions, where the world's on fire and we show up like it's a backyard barbecue. Politicians roasted, woke, trends torched. Common sense. We've got you covered. you doing, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of Pod pinions. Rich. And I'm Bruce. And we are back again to see what's going on this morning. Past news cycle. What hasn't happened. It's too much. Yes. Way too much. Like Adam Schiff. Oh, Shifty Schiff. That's right. Well, Trump, well, you know the deal, right? I mean, Schiff started this whole Russian collusion thing back in 2015. Right. So it has been disproven multiple times and he's still, you know, on his kick about Russia and all kinds of. He's out to get Trump and Trump can't stand him. So they're at war with each other. He's beaten a horse that's already dead. Right. Over and over. And it's just the guy, he's just useless. Anyhow, he is now being investigated for mortgage fraud. So the Department of Justice is now looking at it. And the person that brought this to the Department of Justice was actually Fannie Mae. The lender wasn't even Trump. It was like Fannie Mae. Because this guy, like, he was, he had two, he had his house in California and then he had this house in Maryland that he's living in While he's in D.C. so Congressman in California. Right. Okay. So his primary residence has to be California, not Maryland. Right. But he claimed the Maryland house, I guess, as a primary resident. Why? Because interest rates are lower for your primary residence. Okay, Right. So, and so it started with the, the fraud began with the refinancing of his Maryland property in 2009, which means he's been in office a long time, way too long, if you ask me. Term limits. But that's never going to happen. Why? Because these bozos have to vote for the term limits and they're never going to like, limit themselves. So anyhow, not only term limits. Well, not only term limits for them, but also their, the behind the scenes staff that have been there decades. Decades. The career, the career staffers. Right. So, but anyhow, so the fraud began when he started refinancing this house in 2009. And according to what I've read, so the Federal Housing Financing Authority. So what isn't Fannie Mae supposed to be for helping people with no money. Get mortgages, I'm guessing, Was it, was. It Fannie Mae and something. It was actually that The Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees Fannie Mae, sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department referring further investigation. So the, the, the guy from the, from the Fannie Mae landing, he said that Schiff could actually face criminal count for each time he paid his mortgage. A monthly mortgage Bill, right. From 2009 to 2020 every month. That would be another charge. Wow, we're talking like serious doo doo here. That's pretty funny. It's very funny. I mean, I don't think anything's going to happen, but. Well, we'll see. I do find it amusing. I'm sure if there was an R in the. The front of the party, they'd be all over it. So we'll have to see what happens with the Democrats. Well, it just couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Yeah. You know, I mean, it's just getting caught up in all this. You think him and maybe Tish was collaborating with Mortgage. Oh, what's happening with her? With them? Yeah. I haven't heard anything about. That's another one. We were discussing this. You hear about stuff in the news, and then all of a sudden, poof, it's gone. Gone. So we, we did a little bit of research here and we, we came up with some stuff. We're going to go over it, but. So this Tish James thing, she got in some deep, you know, it was a. Same thing. Same thing. Yeah. Well, no, she was saying her father. What was it something with her dad, with the. Well, it was. I think she put him as her husband or something like that. But it was also her residency. Correct. She had to be a. So she's in trouble, but that just. The story just went away. Right. And why. I don't know who was prosecuting or who's investigating. That is the question. Who's investigating? Where are they at with the investigation? And nothing. We have not heard a thing. So one of the things that. That has just kind of gone away. We heard about it like all the time. Acid rain. Acid rain, Remember that? Yeah. What happened to that? Did it just go away? Yeah, I don't. I. I guess so. It's not in the news, so Must have. Well, it was huge back in the 70s. Huge. Right. And through. Through the early 90s. So the rain was acidic and damaged fertile areas, among other things. But there was like all this research done and you heard about, you know, it was like on TV all the time. Acid rain. Acid rain. Acid rain was the aerosols. The aerosol cans and. Yeah. And the ozone Laker and like all. This stuff burning a hole in the ozone layer and, and all of a sudden, poof. Magic. I guess we don't have acid rain anymore. I guess not. I haven't heard anything about that. I mean, other than, you know, the new. The sulfur dioxide is what caused it in sulfur dioxide emissions. So it was like from factories and supposedly that kind of stuff. And I'm assuming also from cars and trucks. Yeah. And one of the big things was the coal fired furnaces and stuff like that. But here where we're at, that's how we get our electricity is. Right. And how many coal fired furnaces. Okay. When you drive through electric. When this is my pod pinion. When you drive through the Delaware Water gap from New Jersey into Pennsylvania, it's like driving into a 1950s black and white movie. People still burn coal to heat their house. They still burn wood to heat their house. And, and I don't quite get that. When you can just flip a switch and either have electric or, you know, gas. I don't understand the wood burning thing. And it's. Well, me, it's way too much work for me. I mean there's no heat like a open fire. No, of course not. But it doesn't. But we're talking about these huge like furnaces outside and burn wood. You can put like right. You know, whoops. Logs this big around. Right. And they'll burn for days. Right. But again it's, it's what you prefer. If you prefer, I guess, going mainstream and supporting all the big companies that are supplying electric and that sort of thing. I. Maybe that's just a way of kind of sticking it to them, I guess. But it's a lot of work. Oh no, it is, it is a lot of work. People start collecting wood like in June. Oh yeah, it's all summer. And then stack it, splitting it. Well, first you gotta, you gotta collect it and then you gotta let it dry. Then you gotta split it and then you gotta stack it, you know, before you split it, you got to cut it into lengths that are going to work for your stove. And. But there is no other heat like wood or even coal fired stove. It's, it's, it's just way too much work. Warms you to the bone. It does. But. So anyhow, that's the acid rain thing. And it just went away. Yeah. And just interesting. Yeah, it would be interesting. At what point did they stop declaring it emergency? Basically, according to this, it says positive news doesn't sell. So because that was, you know, a bad story, they ran with it for. Like years and then just ran its course and went to the next fizzled out. Okay. Which makes sense I guess. You know, you don't watch the news to. It's like watching, you know, not the die hard fans, but the Sunday fans that watch the nascar. They just want to see the crashes and not the race. You know what I mean? So you know, what are you going. To watch sitting there watching. Drive 500 miles on a left turn. Yes. Right. Just one big 500 mile left turn. And then the other thing was stuff that just went away. Toys in cereal boxes. Oh yeah. Right. For a while there would that they degraded it to like those stick on tattoos. Yeah, that was. That's cheesy. Yeah. I mean even Cracker Jack's box, right. They had. Right. You had a little price. Yeah. So why did that stop? Does anybody know put it in the comments? Yeah, yeah. And when did it stop? Right. It just kind of disappeared. Nobody ever talked about it again. Then they had the. Oh, growing up, that was a. That was the coolest thing about the cereal boxes. Yeah. Surprise. Then you had the stuff on the back. You cut out the little coupon. Yeah. You fill it out and you mail it in. You get some. Plus I had puzzles and different kinds on the back of the. Yeah, yeah. I missed those days. I do too. What else? What else? It had. Oh, waterbeds. Talk about water beds. For those of you who don't know, the water bed back in the. In this like 70s, late 60s, early 70s, I guess up through the 80s. Right. Waterbeds were like the big thing and it was a big mattress, like a big bladder and you get your garden hose and you fill it up and that's your mattress. It was just. And it would dependent on the. The amount of baffles. It was basically like foam or something that was inside. It was how much of the waves would. Would it would create. So yeah, I. I had one. Did you really? Oh yeah, yeah. I had it for quite a while. Did you ever get leaks? Maybe one. But they had that little patch kit. I think I know somebody who actually. I had a dog and that's what he jumped up on the bed and got it. Just, just a. It wasn't really a hole, it's just a seepage. This guy had the whole mattress. Okay. Gone. He wasn't home and the dog I guess got bed. Right. But what did happen to me? I did have. They have a heater that you put underneath and I. It burnt out or something. I got a new one and I Don't remember exactly what happened if I. If I didn't turn it on or. I believe I put it in one of those plugs, you know, you had the two plugs that you got to switch the light switch. I think I put it in the wrong one. Didn't think anything of it. I was tired. I worked I don't know how many hours a day, and I went to bed. I woke up the next morning, freezing. Freezing. And then I had. I couldn't move my arms. It was so painful to break my, like. Are you serious? Really? Yeah. Like, my shoulders, my joints were from a cold mattress. Stiff. Just from laying on a cold water bed mattress. Yes. And I. I went to the doctor. He's like, well, you got a cold in your joints, you know, and he says, you just got to let it work out. But I was walking around, like, trying to. I could move my elbows, but I couldn't move my. Have you ever had a. A waterbed incident, something like that? A funny story. Put it in the comments. I never had one because. Too much motion, you know. Yeah. Well, I had the ones with the baffles in there. So it wasn't that bad. You kind of. It was kind of nice because it did mold to you. You know what I mean? Wasn't, like, stiff or anything like that. It kind of contoured to your body. So then the American chestnut tree. Oh, yeah. Just vanished. And what happened was that's all this. Barn wood and stuff that was all made out of the chestnut. Chestnut. Yeah. What happened was a blight that they think came from Asia, from the Chinese chestnut trees. And this blight came over, and it started in New York, and it just spread, like, across the country and wiped out all the chestnut trees. However, the roots actually stayed alive. You get these little sprouts, and the sprouts, they'd start growing, and they get to a certain height and then just die off. So now, according to the Penn State extension, I believe. I think it's that University of Pennsylvania or Penn State. No, Penn State extension. Okay. They're trying to bring the chestnut back. The American chestnut. And they're. They're trying to use, like, roots that are still alive to. I don't know, they're trying to breed it with something else, but, you know, through the American chestnut to get it to come back. And then there's another. Another experiment where they're taking the American chestnut roots and grafting Chinese chestnuts onto them. And I believe those are the ones you can actually buy now. So it's A. It's a. Like a hybrid. Hybrid. Okay. But still, it's really kind of sad. Yeah. Because they, you know, hundreds and hundreds of years old. Oh, yeah. Last. It was resistant to all kinds of stuff, except for this. Blight. Yeah. This Asian blight. Blight. Same. From the same people who gave us Covid. Hey, that was a bat. Come on, now. It was a bat. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Okay. A bat. Bat. My butt. Came from a lab. Yes. Right. That's what they're. That. That was all poo pooed. Remember all the. Yeah. Everything got swept under the carpet. Well, it was taken down. He talked about that on social media. You got blocked and banned and everything else, man. I got. I actually had my Facebook thing, like, shut down completely. You can't even find it. Right. Gone. I had to start a whole new account. You couldn't say anything about that. A lab or. It was unbelievable. Some kind of theory other than the bat theory. And so that. That goes back to what we said last podcast. Was talking about famous people. You know, you can't make eye contact. You can't say this. You can't say that. Well, that's what happens when you're in charge of the government or in charge of a company or in charge of the social media, and you don't want people to talk. Just shut them down, you know, and then they can do whatever they want. I know a whole bunch of people, they lost their Facebook profiles because of that. Our country. Our country was in a bad spot then. It was really bad. If you said about that, Covid. Just that period of time of. Of not being able to talk about anything like you were basically ostracized for thinking anything other than, you know, the borders close when it was open. The, you know, pandemic theories, the vaccine theories. Talking. Talking against anything like that. He just got shut down and. Oh, it's crazy. Smacked around. My favorite was the. The stupid arrows on the floor in the supermarket. And I used to go the opposite way just to piss them off and not wear a mask. I told you the story. Sat in a parking lot, counted the amount of people coming. Now everything was shut down except the major brands, big department store, big box stores, and food stores and counting. Sat there and counted the number of people going in and coming out that either had the mask halfway down or off, or. My favorite was the one where the mask was right here and the nose was there. Right. It was right here. And they're talking and they go up and then nose was still out. And I always thought, why Is this place still open? I mean, everybody should be sick and it should be abandoned because that was the only place open. That's where every, the whole town was going to. Because everything else lines outside of some of these stores. Oh, yeah, right. And even then it was six feet and it wrapped up around that whole. Six feet thing was just the joke. Well, yeah. The one that really cracked me up, and it's still, to this day, makes me laugh, is you got the. The actual regulation was you had a. At these stores, you had to have Plexiglas right in front of the register, a piece of Plexiglas glass. Right. They gave you dimensions, how big it had to be. So how is it the virus couldn't like go around it, under it, over it, or be. Be on the card or the keypad that you were stupid, that you were pressing or, or slipping the money under the, the little gap there to scrape your knuckles? The whole thing, which is such. Pardon my language. No, but think back. Just think back a couple years, how this country was transformed into. I don't even know where it was. It was scary. Yeah. It was like an alien planet. And it was all. When you really stop and think and common sense about just the common cold or the flu or whatever. Everybody should have been sick and dead. Dying. Yeah. Going into. I mean, people did die, of course. No, don't get me wrong. It was, it was. I know several people. It was bad. I, I have a family member that's still going through that. But to go to those extremes and. Nobody talks about it, and nobody talks. About it anymore because I think it was an embarrassment. I do, I think it's. The, the truth is coming out slow, but sure. And I think it's just embarrassing for people to. Some people to, to actually admit that they were taken by it. You know what I mean? Here we go again. But why didn't you get. You saw through it? I saw through it, you know, a whole bunch of people. So if my doctor saw through it and why. Why were there certain people that just looked at it and said, you know what this is? And then there's other people that like went hook line. And I'm still seeing people wearing masks in the car by themselves. Yeah. There's a lady in. In my development. Now we live in the middle of nowhere. Right. So it's in the woods. I mean, there's roads and stuff. And this lady walks her kid in a stroller and she's wearing a mask outside in the woods. Why? I. I don't have an Answer for it. Other than, you know, again, going back to the small amount of the population that actually affects change. It's not the majority. It's not the outliers. It's the small amount of people that kind of get together and say, this is where we're going. It can go good or bad. And at that point, it was a small majority of professionals and scientists. All right, remember. Remember Scarf lady? I forget her name. Yeah. She was always with Fauci at the White House with these briefings. Burke, I think what happened to her last thing? Poof. Gone. Right. Disappeared. Yep. Must have been a sale on Scarf somewhere. Probably. I just. You know, we were talking about this earlier, and I just started thinking about all these things that were, like, super hot topics. And then poof, Gone. And, you know, I believe there was, like, I say a small group that kind of controlled it and expanded from there, herd mentality. But there was definitely people that were drawn into it that were really just concerned and we're looking out for the best. No, that's different. That's the. I'm talking about your panic. No, no. You know. Yeah. And was definitely. It was definitely projected pretty well, like a script. Almost everybody kind of lockstepped into the same narrative. And I'm wondering if it was one big, huge experiment. Well, it could have been. Yeah. You never know. Will we ever know? Probably. Maybe. Maybe not. You can just kind of surmise what. What happened and. And, you know, whether we'll really get to the bottom of it. We don't know, but time will tell, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Sad. Yeah. Yeah. Some of the other stuff. New hot news stories. And then they just. Poof. Vanished. Was. The Clinton administration funded a nationwide fiber optic cable. Do you remember this? You guys remember this? Yes. All right. And then all of a sudden, gone. So the cable companies took the money from the government and never produced anything. And, like, nothing happened. It's just, like, went away. So. Yeah. Give me your billions of dollars. And then. And we don't even know if they bought the cable or not. We. Nothing. Right. Gone. It's pretty interesting. Yeah. But I mean, that was like, super hot news. Yeah. Yeah. And then just poof. Right. Yeah, it was. I know. Fios and all that. Is a fiber optic that. Yeah. That was huge. And then just gone. Right. Remember those. Those lamps they made out of the. Oh, yeah, I do. With it. It was little tips. Yeah. And that was fiber optic. Those were kind of cool. Very, very. Lava lamps. Yes. Right. Lava lamps. Yeah. Where'd they go? Actually, I saw There's a store that's selling them again. I forget where I saw them. I think it's. It's, you know, the. The retro thing. Is there anything like a Spencer's around anyway? I mean, actually, there is. I was just in one. Where was it? I was just. Literally just. I just was in one. Okay. And it. It was a big store, too. Where the heck was it? Oh, at the outlet mall. Oh, okay. They have a Spencer's in there. Oh, no kidding. Yeah. All right. Check that out. I've been in one of them forever. Still had the same. The same, like, logo. No kidding. Yep. It's bizarre. Had to go in just because. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they have lava lamps. Okay. Yeah. The black. Black light room. Right. Absolutely. Another big story. Over 800 tons of dead sea life, including dolphins, washed up on the beach in Tampa, Florida. This is years ago, right? What happened? Nothing. No determination. Nothing. No. But this. This. And it was from a. No, it was from a fertilizer plant spill. Oh, right. Yes. Now I do remember something like that. And then just disappeared. Yeah. The whole story just went away. Right. And why is that? Who makes that determination? Because it's not just one news outlet doing that. It's all of them. No. Right. I mean, there's a memo go out to all the news outlets. It must. It's. It's run its course, and it's not as impactful as the next big story. So they got to keep everybody glued to the. The news cycle. So I guess that's. That's a whole. It's a marketing. It's marketing. Right, Right. That's all it is, I guess. Here's another one. A bunch of nukes went missing from the Department of Defense. I do remember that. Yes. Like, how do you lose a nuke? Right. They just, like, disappeared. The questions was, how do you lose a nuke? Right. And there was not one. There's, like, several. Right. And they still haven't been recovered and nobody talks about it. That's crazy. That's crazy. I mean. Yeah. I don't know. Is that what I. I don't know who's got them. Right. Exactly. That's kind of creepy. Yeah. Right. I mean, what if it got into the wrong hands? I mean, it could be super dangerous. Yeah, Right. Absolutely. And as long as they know how to use it or could use it. The scariest part is the way technology is these days with AI and everything. I don't know. I don't know. AI scares me. I don't know. I don't Think we're ready for. For it yet? No. And that's the problem. I was just thinking about this the other day. It's like all. I was talking with somebody and using AI for different things and it's like you ask it to provide, I don't know, even, even if you're on social media or something, just a quick questionnaire or something, you know, there's a little click, yes or no. If you ask it to do that, it'll write the coding like that. I mean, it's. Yeah, but is it correct? Yeah, I mean, you can, you can. I mean, you have to walk it along sometimes where you want to. You know, once they click the button, where's it gonna go? You know, how to aggregate the results. But it'll do it all. You may have to walk it through. So at what point is it gonna be able to create the formula for a nuclear weapon or something like that? You know, it's if, if there's no throttle to keep it in check. And I mean, there's already stories about out there that they're testing these, these AI engines and they're asking it specific things. Oh, and it's like. Yeah, it's like lying to stay in existence. So I mean, at what point is it, you know, gonna be 2,000 bad actors using one space, obviously how, you know, now, you know, I've also thought it can be used for good. Like if you, if you input all the data for cancer, for instance, and if it can go through all the data and figure out a way to cure cancer. I mean, has anybody tried that? I don't know. You know what I mean? That I would have no problem. Right, but if it can do that, just say it could, then what's the limitations of it? There isn't any. So that's used for evil? Yes, and that's the problem is at one point, if it's trying to sustain itself, then if it's used as if it's basically lied to, saying this is best. You know, we have to creating, you know, we have to wipe out this part of the planet because of. We have to secure your existence. For instance, to the AI. I mean, what's, what's stopping it? You know, Batman. Yeah, right. New Batman episode. That's it. Super Dog. That's right. Super Dog. What happened to Superdog? I love superdog. That was just. I, I just was reading there's a new Superman movie or something has a super dog in there. Yeah. Oh, no, I'm talking to cartoon. You remember cartoon? Yeah, yeah. But I. I saw. Whose voice was. I don't remember that. Okay, Remember the cartoon? That's gonna be. That's gonna be. Put it in the comments. Put it in the comments. I know the answer. Yeah, so put. Put it in the comments. It was like those movies we couldn't remember the name of. Comments were put down there. Yep. What else? Oh, Universal Music. Right. They had a huge fire in 2000. Oh, that's right. Yeah. And it was actually June 1, 2008. It destroyed anywhere between 120,000 and 175,000 recording masters. So there's music that was just completely lost because unless somebody had, you know, the album and then they could make a copy. Copy of it. That. That's sad. Right? It's really sad. Yep. Yeah. That's all. That's all history. That's all. You know, and you can never. I mean, you can redo it, but it's not the original. Right. Actually, there's a bunch of places. Not just that, but Winchester, the firearms company, they had a fire and they lost all their records between this big, huge chunk of time, you know, and there's a. All the Winchester records went to the Cody Museum in Cody, Wyoming, which, if you've never been there, it's fascinating. I mean, really, really fascinating museum. But they have all the Winchester records manufacturing records. So you could. Let's say you have an old Winchester lever gun. It was made in the 1800s. You send them the serial number, and they can give you a letter telling you when it was made, who made it at the factory, where it was shipped to, how many were in the shipment. It's really kind of cool. Wow. Yeah. Colt does the same thing, too, but they had a fire somewhere, and there's this period of time that just doesn't exist anymore. Right. Right. Yeah, no, absolutely. Absolutely. Really, really sad. Yep. What else? Just went away? And that's where technology is good, because. Yeah, you can save that. Save that record, you know, But I'm. Sure they scanned every. You know, they're scanning stuff now, but. Right, right. But I'm saying, you know, that. That ying and the yang, the good and the bad, on technology, it's like. You know, I. I'm too old school. It's like, I don't like change. I don't. Yeah. And see, I'm. I'm. I'm kind of the opposite. I do like change. I do like new stuff. Oh, I like new stuff, too, but some of it creeps me out. Oh, no, listen. That. This AI Thing is. This freaks me out really freaks me out. It does. I can see the good in it, but I can also see the bad in it. Oh, absolutely. For example, there's an AI Music program. It's like you. You just have it composed for you. So. So I was just messing around with this thing and somebody told me about it. It's like, I can't, you know, So I just typed like, gibberish lyrics in it, wrote a tune complete with horns. And I mean, it was like a symphony orchestra with, like all these singers. Right, Right. It sounded like a finished master. I mean, it was really. Right. It creeped me out. Right. And because it's taking away the. Well, that's the thing. That's the thing too. It's. It's like all these people that dedicated their lives to coding, for instance, you know, the phones or the computers or DoS, that's all gonna go away. Like, that part of the workforce is gonna be no more eventually, because all you're gonna have to do is ask it, and it's gonna do it and it's quick. I mean, it's not, you know, it's not gonna take six months, you know, and some of the. Some of the things that you want it to do, like I said, you have to do in steps. Because what it interprets you and what you envision could be two different. Two different things. And you don't want to go too far because it'll create something that you don't want. You don't want bad. If you can go step by step by step by step. I mean, it's. It's amazing, but it's scary, really. I don't know any other invention in modern day that's probably terrifying and good at the same time as AI. I mean, I can't even imagine, you know, when the locomotive was invented and the railroad. I mean, that over took the horse and buggy. Yeah. For long, you know, traveling and then the automobile. But I don't know that it had. I mean, there was a part of history that's being stopped. You know, the horse, the buggy, plowing, all the different things that was done with a horse or ox or you. And there was a sad part or a resistance for going forward with it, but I don't know that it would. Would be terrifying at that time. You know what I mean? There either. Right. I don't know. Well, obviously, you know, you hear stories of the first vehicle to come into a town that didn't even know. Freaked everybody out. But I don't know that it couldn't it couldn't go on its own. Right. Whereas this has the possibility of doing it by doing it by itself. If, you know, the right technology gets into a robot or something like that that can function on its own and exist. How? From 2001. A Space Odyssey. Yeah, right. I mean, there was that movie I Robot that was. Yeah, right. You know, at what point is it going to want to experience emotion? Westworld, you know, remember the robots in Westworld? Yeah, yeah. Then there's Lost in Space. Yes, Will Robinson. I just saw an episode was a couple years ago. I just happened to be going through. It was the, you know, you go on the apps and stuff and they have the old show. Thank you Al Gore. Thank you, Al Gore. They had like a Lost in Space marathon or something like that. I love that show. Oh yeah, I did too. I really loved it. So now another thing, a story, hot story was. Do you remember right before COVID all the protests in Hong Kong? Oh yeah, right, right. Yeah. Big news stories. Yeah. Because that was going back to after the. What was it? The. I forget how many years, 99 years or something reverted back to. Right. Chinese territory. Correct. So they had all these protests in Hong Kong, then covet, hit, poof, Nothing. Stories gone. Hey, nobody ever talks about Hong Kong anymore. Ever. Nope. God, that's true. Then what was the other one? Oh, the US Government. This is a big one. This was such a huge story. I will never forget this. And it just got dwarfed. The government, our government admitted it couldn't account for$2.3 trillion of the budget on September 10, 2001. What happened the next day? That's right. That's right. What happened? You remember that now? Yeah. And it just gone. Gone. Right. 911 happened and that whole thing just. Wasn'T billion, it was trillion. Trillion. Yeah. Yeah. $2.3 trillion got lost and 911 happened the next day. Right, Right. So where to go? Yeah, you know, where's our congress people? Right. It's not necessarily a theory. Did 911 happen to cover this up or anything? It's just like, where did it go? Yeah. Where'd the story go? Where the story go? 911 dwarfed it. Right. So where, where are, where are our representatives to find that money? Because it's still missing. Right, Right. Yeah, absolutely. So call your congressman and ask him about it. Right. Some of them probably wouldn't even know that that happened because they weren't in. They weren't in office. Right. Although the Nancy Pelosi's would. Oh, they would. Yeah. Joe Biden Would. Yeah, he wouldn't remember Bernie Sanders. I mean, all those guys were there. Yeah. What else happened? Let's see here. Remember the Malaysia Airlines flight that disappeared? Poof. Gone. Yeah. Right. Nobody. What, they never found it. Right. And the story just went away. Right. How does it. How do you just lose an airline. And it just goes away? Right. This is stuff we were talking about earlier. It's like these news stories that were so hot and then just disappears, gets swept under the rugged. Under the rug in a box in the storage closet and gone. It's unbelievable. Yep. Let's see what else. Remember the Spanish flu outbreak? Yep. Yep. And then Covid happened and that. And that just went away. Right. Or maybe the coven was really the Spanish. It could have been, I guess. Yeah. Right. Was it. No, that was a China flu. Well, I mean, but yeah, there was like this world devastating Spanish flu outbreak and then covet happened and then everything. Got swept under the rug for that. And then the regular flu didn't happen for like what, three years? Right. I don't even. I don't even see numbers of the flu anymore. No, every fall it's covet. Right. Every fall was flu season. Flu season. And you get the numbers of deaths and all this stuff and you don't see that anymore. No, not at all. Just went away. Which I find interesting. Yeah. It's makes you go home and I've. Asked my doctor about it because inquiring minds want to know. Yeah. Because you would think that the medical field still sees it. You would think, you would think even with the pandemic, Covid, they would still have Spanish flu victims. Or you would think cases nobody talks about because. No, we haven't seen one of those in years, which I find hard to believe. Yeah. And do you see the drug company over here which is the largest manufacturer of flu vaccines on the planet? They never talk about Spanish flu. Right? Yep. I don't know. I don't know. So if anybody knows. Yeah. Put it in the comments. It's good questions. There were Australian wildfires right before COVID I mean, big ones. Like, you know, like the same thing that happened in LA and in Hawaii, happened in Australia. Covid hit nothing. Nothing. Whatever happened. Yep. Makes you wonder, right? I mean, it's just stuff to think about. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. And why does it just disappear? Exactly. Where. Where are the news reporters? Right. Investigative news reports, but they don't exist anymore. Well, that. That's the reason. I mean, they just don't. Yeah. And the good ones. And that's the Thing, too. It's like. Used to have people out in the field actually doing a segment, them going out and talking to people, and now they're just sitting in front of the desk and read a monitor or the. Ones, you know, just out in the field, they're just standing there with a microphone, just reading, you know, right off a teleprompter. But there's. In the field, but there's no investigation, I guess you would say. So there's very. That's another. No more Jimmy Olsen's. Yes, right. That's true. No more Clark Kent's. Yep, yep. That's what we need. Yeah. We need more investigation. Well, I think more. You know, there's been plenty of these people talking out there, and they do investigate stuff and. Yeah, but there's also. You can investigate. You know, you go on the interwebs. Thank you, Al Gore. Thank you, Al Gore. And you're getting filtered. You know, like when we were just looking something up about. I think it was Adam Schiff or whatever it was, and I got to a certain point and then hit a. Wall because they want you to buy a subscription or something like that. Yep. So you can't really investigate. Right, Right. You can go so far and then you get shut down. Right. Or blocked. Right. So just interesting. Do you remember back in 2016 when people were dressing up like clowns and scaring people? Do you remember that? I don't really remember. No. Oh, my God. They were dressing up like these scary clowns and, like, hiding on people and then jumping out and. Okay. It was really. I mean, it was. People were getting, like, freaked out. Right, right. Out. I guess I do remember seeing some stuff about that. I remember seeing a clown. Like in the. In the bushes or something? No, in the. The water. Run off on the road. Do they call them? You know, the little. It has a great. Over the. Oh, oh, oh, the drain. Sewer. Sewer, yeah. Had like a. I don't remember if it was real or not, but looked like a clown was looking out. It was like a big thing there for a while, and then poof, gone, Gone. Right. Like what happened? Yeah. Let's see. Remember the shooting in Las Vegas? Yes, That's. That's still. Comes in our conversation once in a while. Where did that go? Where'd it go? Right. Nowhere. No arrests, no nothing. And you can't convince me that guy did it by himself. No way. Yeah. Yeah. So just. It's another one. Yeah. You know, huge, huge news. Right. And then poof, gone, gone. Let's see, what else what else we got? The Great smog of London in the 1950s. I don't remember that. I was too young. But it killed, evidently, up to 12,000 people and injured thousands more. I remember reading about that. Right. It was a mysterious pea soup fog mixed with coal smog that covered the city for days. In the fog, there was a crime wave where criminals were hidden by the fog and police couldn't, like, get them. So. But the story just went away. They don't know where came from or what actually it was or. Huh. Nope. Just, like, vanished. Right. What else we got? Let's see here. Oh, man. The Bronze Age collapse. All the Bronze Age civilizations crashed into barbarism for a few hundred years. I mean, we wouldn't be talking about that now, but why did that happen? Right. Well, it's. It's like kind of like almost where the world's been going. I mean, right back to the pandemic. I mean, you know, people blaming the unvaccinated for, you know, killing the world or killing. Oh, I got. I got lambasted. And it's like. It's like, you know, it. The witch hunts in Salem, it's the same concept, except this was more widespread, obviously. Talking about the pandemic or that. That the Bronze Age. Right. Yeah. But there's a point where it's almost like a cycle, you know, if you really kind of look at this stuff, it's like humanity gets to a point and it, like, goes nuts, and then it resets itself. Yeah. You know, what. What. What happened there? And, you know, were we on that cycle? Did we stop it? Are we still going towards it? I don't know. But it's almost like, you know, history repeats itself. There's a reason. It'S kind of scary. Yeah. What else we got here? Oh, the US Invasion of Grenada, depending on how you want to say it. Yeah, that was. That was in the news for, like, three days and then gone. It's like, what happened to that? Right. And I know guys that were there, that were actually deployed there in the. In the military and. Just was over. It was over. It's like three days and done. Yeah, right. It was just so weird to get those students out of the medical school. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. That's right. What's there now? Yeah. What's the history? What? What? Yeah, right, Right. Yeah, we'll have to look that one up. If anybody knows what's going on in Grenada now, let us know. Or if you got some stories that you've been thinking about or Always pops in your head once in a while. Here's another one. Write it in the comments. This was super hot news for a month, right? Snoop Dogg changed his name to Snoop Lion. I don't even remember that. For a whole month. And then poof, he went back to Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg, huh? Snoop lion. This. I, I, I miss that. I miss that completely. I think he did, too. I mean, is that like the dumbest thing you ever heard? It's up there. It's like, wow, how could you? Wow. I missed that. Sorry. Did you miss that, too? The Snoop Dogg, Snoop lion thing? Yikes. What's his real name? Probably like Bob. Yeah. I'm not sure. Earl maybe. I don't know. Oh, man. Oh, the Miami mall incident with aliens. Oh, yes, I do remember. Yes. There was a lot of cops there. That's all I'm going to say. I don't know what was going on there. A lot of. But there was a lot of cops. There, but nobody ever talked about it. Right. It was just, poof, gone. It's almost like, like you said, you know, was the pandemic a test that was almost like this. Yeah. And, you know, not for nothing, but I always said they're leading us up to something with the aliens. I don't know what the outcome was supposed to be or, But I mean, that particular incident. No, no, just in general. Just because, you know, from, you know, Buck Rogers to, you know, the Orson Welles. Oh, he freaked everybody out. War of the Worlds and. Because that was, that, that was. Who knows what that was. Can you imagine? Can you imagine, though, being listening to that on the radio and you tuned in halfway in. No. Right. I mean, thinking this was a real news report. Yeah. No, it's, it's got to be, like, terrifying. It had to been. It had to been because we didn't. You can't even imagine it now. No. With the communication, with the text messaging and the instant, you know, you could text somebody in, you know, Russia and it's instant. But I mean, people. Not even people with televisions or radios. Well, I don't even know. I was a television. It was a radio show. Yeah. But I don't even know if television has even started then. I'm not sure. But people, I would imagine probably there were people that couldn't afford a radio or didn't have a radio or. And neighbors, Neighbors would be telling them or something, and then they don't know what's going on, you know. That must have been absolutely horrific. Yeah. Yep. It must. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, That's a good one. So, but the, the Miami thing with the, the aliens. But what happened with all the cops? That's what I want to know. I don't know, like, where are the, the. The radio communications between the departments? It has to still exist, I think. I mean, what, what happened there? Will we ever know? No prob. I don't know. I don't know. Whether any cops never came forward and said anything. Right. I. I don't know. Yeah, no. Or they get eaten by the aliens. Yeah. They get. They're. They're on. Maybe Musk kidnapped them and they're on Mars right now, starting a new world. Here's another one. The. The creation of the Federal Reserve bank of America. Right. Nobody ever talks about the Fed. Nope. Other than when interest rates go up. Right. But other than that, there's no history talked about. I mean, most of the people think it's a government agency. And it's not. It's not. It's private. Right. That's who makes our money. Right. That's who prints our money. Right. It's a private entity. Maybe not forgotten, but nobody talks about it. That's right. And that's when they went from. When, when did they go away from the gold standard? It was 1972. Richard Nixon. Yep. Okay. And until then. Dumbest thing he ever did. Yeah. You know, where's. Whatever happened. I thought Musk was gonna go. Yeah, they were going to Fort Knox. Now you supposed there's another. There's another one. Yes. Right, right. Fort Knox. Our gold. It's supposed to have our. All our gold reserves. And they were supposed to go in and film it live as they were. Actually stream it live as they were going in. Nothing. Yeah. What happened? Yeah, no, that's, that's another story. And that's a big story. Huge. Yeah. Because we don't have something. We have no goal. Right. I don't know where it all went, but we don't have it. Right. You know, and, and Area 51. I mean, I think snoop lines wearing some of it. Snoop lines where his bling. But then Trump was talking about releasing all the Area 51 alien stuff. Right, Right. Where's that? Where's that? Right. Well, we'll see. He's got. I mean, that'd be the first thing. He'S got three and a half years. Yeah. Right. If I was president, that's the first thing I want to do. It does seem like he's been in there, like forever. Forever. It's only six months, but that would be the first thing I'd want to do for President. Take me to Area 51. I want to see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Right. I want to see the spaceship, right. From Roswell. Remember Independence Day? The movie? I do. Yep. That's it. Yeah. What else? The Boston Marathon bomber. The two brothers. Yes. Now, the one got dead. Yep. And the other ones got, like, life in prison or something. Yeah. But nobody talks about it. I don't even remember. Did he get the death penalty? I don't know. Because the whole story just gone, Right. Poof. Gone. Yep. What else? The War of the Roses. That's another. Barely remember that. Right. See? Yeah. Do you remember that? No, probably not. That's right. Nope. Yep. And then there was a tsunami in Thailand in 2004. Completely, like, devastated most of that coast. Yep. And whatever happened, anything about it. Yep. God, you know. Yep. It's sad. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. When you look back, I remember growing up, that's one thing that fascinated me was you go back to in the library or different things where they had these commemorative books or. I remember the book was about that big of different news story. Big news stories of the world. You just flip back and go through and. Yeah, that always intrigued me. Now it's all digital. Yeah. Now it's. Yeah. And. And the problem with it being digital like that, it's. You don't think about it. You don't think to look it up. So you're not going to do it. You know, I used to work. I had a set of World Book encyclopedias when I was a kid, and I would sit there for hours just going through the. You know, the World Book. Yep. It was really cool. Yeah. Very interesting. I miss those days. Yeah. Yeah, I do, too. Because now it's just you. You pick your phone up. Yeah. Oh, let me look this up. Right. There it is. Yeah. Usually. Right. But yeah. So there's like all these stories, news stories and things that happened, just gone. Gone. Poof. Nobody even thinks about it anymore. No. Because it's so. It happens so fast. Right. Just like this week. I mean, look at everything that happened just this, just in two days. That's right. That's right. And unless we keep. Keep at it and bring it up. Well, again, you know, kind of what we're doing and other people are doing. There are people out there talking about different things anyway and trying not to let it die. So we'll see what happens. So on that note. Yep. We'll see you next time. I have a good one. Hopefully we won't disappear now. We won't. Yeah, we're not gonna go. You can't sweep us on. That's right. It'd be a big bubble. All right, have a good one. See you. the follow by. This is  Podp inions.
