----------
Jazmunda, Eddie Dean and B_Dubb talk about the Ebola virus and the disturbing projections of its spread in West Africa. Bellgab member Agent: Orange calls to talk science. Taintco unveils a new product called, LaxiBrew. We play a new soundboard prank call.
The GapCast is not legally responsible for your feelings.
Do it live!
I can't write it and we'll do it live!
Hey, everybody!
It's the Gab Cast, and we are doing it live tonight.
Welcome to the show.
I'm Eddie Dean.
We've got Beat Up and Jazz Munda.
What's up, guys?
Hey.
Not much.
Hi, Odie.
Happy to be back.
Yeah, it's always great to come back and do the show.
And it's great to have Bill O'Reilly open the show for us.
Yeah, how much did that cost us?
We'll do it live!
I don't know.
I'm sure that we'll get a bill in the mail from somebody.
I like it.
You did a great job mixing it.
I just don't think Bill's angry enough.
You don't think he's angry enough?
No, I don't think he's angry enough.
I think he can get angrier.
Fucking thing.
We'll do it live.
Fuck.
I don't think I can push a button on the mixer to make him sound more angry, but I could play the clip a bunch of times.
We'll just have to have him.
We'll just have to have him re-record that for us.
Perhaps if you just speak to him beat up for a while and tell him all about your bleeding heart views.
Oh my gosh.
He might get angrier.
You know what?
Dude, it would be stellar.
If we could prank him.
If we could get his phone call and call his house and prank him, that would be awesome.
That would be like a major achievement.
Prank him with George or prank him with himself.
Oh, my God.
It has to be.
If we did a soundboard, that would be amazing.
I think I just got a chubby prank him with his own soundboard.
It must be a Bill O'Reilly soundboard.
Oh, my goodness.
That would be great.
I think I need to be alone.
I just got to hit the record button here because since I had a problem with recording last week or two weeks ago and I wasn't able to release the podcast recording because it sounded like shit.
It actually recorded, but it sounded like every time one of us talked, it sounded like somebody was scraping a fork on a large sheet of steel.
So it's just a glitch in my recording software, which I use Soundforge.
So what I'm doing is I split the signal and I sent it to my CD recorder.
So I'm recording both in Soundforge and as a backup on my CD player, my CD recorder.
Okay, so now that you've got all the ladies in the audience wet with your techie talk.
Yeah, so another way to describe the sound quality in that last recording would be like, imagine if we did the show with Cylons sitting on our faces the whole time and not and not like the hot like human hybrids, the metal toasters.
That sounds pretty painful.
Yeah, it was.
It did not sound good.
It was horrible and I just could not release that because it just sounded terrible.
You know, someday I might release it as like a bonus special edition on the DVD series that we're going to release on our one-year anniversary.
It'll be on the hidden track.
Yeah.
You'll have to look for it.
So hopefully everything will record tonight and you can go to ufoship.com to download this show later tonight or tomorrow, whenever I get off my lazy ass to post it on UFOShip.
Get a bunch of people in the chat room.
I see that Agent Orange is in there, the GabCast Science Advisor.
And I think that it is Canadian Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving in Canada today, isn't it?
Did they steal that holiday from you?
I think everyone's thankful for something.
I'm thankful for the George Norrie soundboard.
I'm thankful for the gift of raw whiskey that the good Lord sat upon us.
What?
But it's Columbus Day here in America, and I don't remember ever once celebrating Columbus Day, going to a parade, anything.
And I question whether it's a real holiday or not.
I don't believe it is.
You get a free day off work.
Why complain?
Well, not everybody got a day off.
Some of them said work.
Yeah, I guess it depends on the...
Minimum wage workers don't count.
I guess it depends on the state.
Because I'm guessing that Columbus Day is big in the East, you know, maybe in New York or New Jersey.
But out here in the West, it's just another day.
And I think the banks are open today.
I think it, well, I don't know.
I'm guessing.
Eddie opens that.
I haven't confirmed it.
Eddie, be straight with me, man.
When's the last time you left your house?
I don't feel comfortable answering that question.
Oh, gosh.
Yeah.
Well, way to ruin the show, B-Dub.
Thanks.
Sorry.
Sorry, dude.
Didn't mean to put you on the spot.
Whatever.
No, I actually left the house last week.
I took a nice little trip up north to visit my mother.
Okay, cool.
So there.
Did you download all the episodes of the Gabcast for her so she could listen to what her son's been up to?
She listens.
I'm not sure if she listens live, but she has referenced Jasmunda.
She really likes Jasmunda, I have to say.
She must be into horseborn.
Hey, wait a second.
So, yeah, the ladies love Jasmunda.
Someone tell the ladies down here that.
Yeah, everybody except for the people that are close to Jasmunda love Jasmunda.
Yeah.
I don't know.
So do you guys celebrate Columbus Day?
Not Australia, but I mean B-Dub.
Ohio.
No, we don't.
I mean, some of us had the day off.
I didn't.
But, you know, if you're a federal worker, I don't believe they had postal service today.
And if you work in a shitty bank, then yeah, you probably didn't have to work.
If you're a government employee, you didn't have to work.
So is Columbus Day a federal holiday?
Yeah.
Okay, see.
I should do my research before I actually talk about a subject on the show.
There you go, flapping your gums about stuff you just don't know.
I have no idea.
Cause in all minor trouble.
I'm walking in the shoes of George Norrie, ladies and gentlemen.
If you'd like to be a part of the show tonight, the number is 623-242-2278.
You can also reach us on Skype by typing in the.gabcast, and you can reach us that way.
Yeah, please do call in.
We always love to hear from fellow bell gabbers.
We desperately need someone to call the show.
Please make fun of their accents.
Is it going that bad?
I thought the show was actually started off pretty good.
I think we're doing okay.
Yeah, I thought so.
I mean, give us 20 minutes, and it might be a different story.
I mean, we all might contract Ebola from our microphone somehow.
Oh, no, you didn't say the E-word.
No.
You know, I thought that it was going to be, you know, a huge hysteria.
Well, it kind of is with the media.
But I was looking at some statistics, some projections, and it's concerning because they estimate by January, it could be anywhere from half a million to 1.4 million cases, new cases of Ebola.
As long as they're not here, I don't care.
Yeah, and that's not here.
That's in West Africa.
But I mean, if you look at the projections they made back in April or May, it's following the line.
But they projected a certain number of cases if they didn't intervene.
And the actuality, the number of cases is 2.5 times higher than what they projected.
CDC or the World Health Organization projected several months ago.
So it's actually worse than they thought.
So that's concerning.
I don't think that we're going to get much here in America.
I don't think that we really have that much to be concerned about.
But the media loves to, I mean, just play that, just play the shit out of that.
Well, that's good for ad revenue, man.
You get people whipped up into a frenzy, and next thing you know, they don't go outside their house, and they're glued to the television.
So it's good business.
It's good business sense.
You're right, it is.
But it's annoying because they do that all the time.
And, you know, so thanks to Ebola and ISIS, we are going to be in a perpetual state of war until our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, returns to save us all.
They really need to combine the two to really scare the shit out of us.
ISIS and Ebola.
ISIS with Ebola.
Isola.
ISOLA.
EBISIS.
Yeah.
EBIS.
EBIS.
I think here's what's scary, and I haven't heard anybody talk about this, but how hard would it be for someone to find a corpse of someone that died from Ebola, either collect some fluids or maybe take a chunk of it?
This is going to get gruesome, but bear with me.
No, yes, George, it's a mean baby.
A dead, mean baby.
And, you know, stick it, basically take that Ebola-laced sample and strap it to a little quadcopter and fly it into the White House or into the Pentagon and use it as like a weapon, a little bioweapon.
It would turn out to be a mean baby.
Thanks, George.
I can tell you're listening.
I don't think that would really do much unless the president decided to eat it or rub it all over his skin and have Ebola seep through his pores.
But I mean, it's not airborne yet, right?
Well, no, it's not airborne.
But if you were to crash the quadcopter and spill the guts, the stuff everywhere, you know, the civil, the Secret Service doesn't actually seem like it's bringing its A-game these days.
So it might be a few weeks before like, hey, what is that?
Smell.
What is that?
Well, look, Jim, there's a severed hand on the lawn.
Huh?
How'd that get there?
And a quadcopter and a bunch of dead squirrels.
I don't know.
So, I don't know.
It's just a thought.
Yeah.
Seemed like it'd be pretty easy to do that.
I don't think you'd make a very good terrorist BW.
Just saying.
But that hurts.
That hurts me.
That hurts me deeply.
I think it's really something to be proud of, though.
Okay.
You know, I also read something saying that the Africans are not taking kindly to the World Health Organization or the CDC or the medics, the people over there that are trying to help them.
You know, they believe that they are there.
Some of them believe that they are there for ill, you know, to harvest organs or to kill them, you know, because they're in these giant containment suits.
And I even read something saying that there are rumors going around that started by one person making a joke via text, and it got into social media.
And the rumor was that if you bathe in salt water and you drink copious amounts of salt water, then you can defeat the Ebola virus.
Oh, no.
And it was meant as a joke.
And people started taking it seriously.
And I believe two people died from drinking lots of salt water.
Oh, man.
So that's horrible.
It really is.
Natural selection.
But I mean, talk about hysteria.
You know, if people are scared of the health workers and they're trying, you know, strange remedies that they see on the internet, you know that they're stressed.
And it's not a good thing over there.
But I don't think the United States is going to get anywhere near the number of cases that could happen over in West Africa.
Probably not.
I noticed they started screening in New York and they said they stopped 100 people because they kind of fit the profile or they may have had like something that kind of indicated they had Ebola.
None of them had it.
Right.
And people were saying that there's going to be a learning curve.
I'm like, no, no, no, that's fine.
Better stop 100 people unnecessarily than let one through that has it.
Yeah.
So keep up the good work.
Yeah, they just put that.
They just put that into practice this weekend, didn't they?
They are screening passengers in, what, four different international airports in the East?
What's the screening process?
I believe they're looking for flu and abdominal pain.
And if they traveled in West Africa.
No, that's not true.
I mean, fever.
I'm sorry.
Did I say flu?
Because I know when you're in Asia and you're getting off the plane, they have stations where they've got infrared cameras.
I'm not sure whether the infrared or whatever, but they can see whether the person has a fever or not.
And they'll pull people aside that get off a plane, you know, showing that symptoms.
Well, you guys are actually wrong.
That's not the screening process.
The screening process is they have Liam Neeson hold them up against the wall and stick a gun to their forehead and then scream like, do you have Ebola?
Do you have Ebola?
And then if they shit their pants, then they know they have Ebola.
And if they don't shit their pants, that's the really only safe way to conduct that screening.
Do you have Ebola?
I believe that.
It sounds completely reasonable.
I think normally they would have had someone like Charles Bronson do that, but he's not available because he's dead.
Shouldn't they be using an American?
Charles Bronson was an American.
No, but Liam Neeson isn't.
Oh, well.
I don't believe so.
He's an actor.
He can be American if he wants to be.
Certainly acts American.
Indeed.
You're doing the soundboard for me.
Good point.
Slow on the draw tonight.
So, the Ebola thing.
Anybody has any comments about Ebola?
You can give us a call.
623-242-2278.
We usually don't talk about shit like this, but it's all over the Bellgap.
That's what a lot of people are talking about.
And I logged in a couple times, and that's, you know, you look at the history where people are posting, and it's all in the Ebola thread.
And of course, people are making it political, but.
Well, that means that Rick Perry is a horrible person.
That means that Obama is the Antichrist.
This is all part of Obama's grand scheme.
Is anyone concerned about the whereabouts of Kim Jong-un?
No.
I am.
Are you?
He's not returning my calls.
He hasn't.
Are you really concerned?
No, I'm not.
He said he'd call.
They always say that.
They do.
So you've heard the rumor, though, right?
Yeah, he's gone.
What's the rumor?
Tell me what the rumor is.
Well, the rumor is that he acquired an addiction to really fatty cheese when he was going to school as a child in Switzerland or Sweden or wherever the hell he went to school.
And so he's been locking himself up in his room, gorging himself in this insanely fatty Swiss cheese, and he's gained all this weight.
And then when he's in public, he likes to wear heels because he's so short.
He doesn't want to seem like a short little fatty boy.
Is he in high heels?
Yeah.
Well, just anything to lift his short ass up off the ground because apparently he's pretty small.
And he wants to feel a little bit more threatening to people.
So the combination of fatty McFatterson, cheese addiction, and the stupid, ridiculous, like high heels that he's been wearing, it caused his ankles to brink.
His ankles are broken.
I don't know if that's true or not.
I don't know if that's true or not.
I think it seems a little ridiculous, but I mean, hey.
Yeah, I believe it, though.
I believe you.
I think you have a great track record of being honest on this show, and your research is impeccable, sir.
So I absolutely believe you.
All the shit that you've made up up until now has proved to be very entertaining.
So thank you.
And correct at the same time.
So, Jazz, what do you think happened to Kim Jong-un?
Kim Jong-un?
I don't know.
I think he's probably being taken out.
Really?
I don't know.
Well, if he hasn't been seen in public, then he's either really sick, and they don't want to show weakness by showing him sick or he's in his room trying on high heels.
I don't know.
He's dead.
I would love to see that whole regime just collapse because the people in North Korea have it bad.
Yeah, they really do.
They really do.
It's like the worst country in the world, I believe.
For human rights.
I've heard some really horrible things from that place.
You know, when the government runs commercials explaining how to make soup out of grass, you know, you're in bad shape.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I believe he's probably sick.
He's sick, laid up somewhere, and like one of you guys said, that you don't want to show your weakness by appearing in public being sick or maybe he had a sex change.
Who knows?
Someone was telling me yesterday that Kim Jong-un decided that his uncle and some of his associates were a threat.
So they stripped him naked and threw him in a room with a bunch of dogs that hadn't eaten in like a week.
And basically, that was the end of that.
CatSmile in chat room said that on ABC World News, they said that he showed up in public.
I don't know if that's a joke.
Maybe I'm taking that out of context, but maybe Catsmile in the chat room has some information that we're not privy to.
He's holding out on us.
Or maybe he could be making it up.
You never know with Catsmile.
I'd say links or it didn't happen.
Yeah, pics, links.
Same thing.
So I also saw that Art Bell posted a couple of things in Facebook, and it made me happy to see that possibly he might be reading Belgab or he might be taking Jazz Munda's advice.
Why do you think he's been reading Belgab?
Because he's talking about Ebola?
Yeah, because he posted something on Facebook when basically there were several people in the Art Bell thread that were asking him to keep people updated.
That's a coincidence.
You've been talking about that forever, Jaz.
So I choose to believe that he is taking advice from Belgab's own and Gabcast Zone, Jazz Munda.
I highly doubt that.
I choose to believe it.
Damn it.
Don't break my bottom.
Okay, so maybe do you want to read his post, Jazz?
I have to find it.
So bear with me a moment.
Kind of sprung that on you.
Because he was talking about Ebola.
I know that.
Now that we moved on to Kim Jong-un, we can go back to Ebola or not.
I don't know.
I thought it'd just be fun to talk about on the show.
Well, it's pretty interesting.
You know, we talked about it a while back, and now, ooh, look.
It's interesting that some guy posts something, and we want to talk about it.
So North Korean leader makes public appearance in the chat room.
And he looks chubby as ever.
Does he now?
Oh, I'm sorry to tell you this, guys, but Ebola has invaded the chat room.
I just saw that.
Username Ebola is in the chat room.
Oh, your dog smells it.
Your dog can smell the Ebola in the chat room.
So Art Bell said on October 9th that he's watching Ebola closely.
He's not at all sure we are being told the truth.
Pretty sure we should start thinking of stopping flights from infected areas.
And if it gets any worse, perhaps closing our borders.
Bell doesn't have a history of overreacting at all.
Not at all.
And he said the facts on the ground do not support what the CDC is saying about the way it is and it is not spread.
The border should be closed to any civil traffic from infected nations at a minimum.
But I don't know if that has is if that's effective or not, closing flights from infected areas, because you can travel from an infected area to any number of destinations before boarding a plane to the U.S.
Yeah, there's really they're not doing a lot to they could be doing a lot more, I think.
But I mean, what stops people from lying from where they came from?
Or do exactly what Jazz said, you know?
Well, it depends what your border protection agents have on their screens and what type of information is available to them in regards to flight history.
And, you know, surely there's a record if I go from here to West Africa, then travel to Singapore and then to the U.S., surely they can trace my passport history or something of where I've been.
Yeah, but I mean, you can't completely shield the United States from something to happen.
I mean, if a pandemic is to break out, all indication is that it's probably underway by the projections.
But I mean, you can't stop people from getting here or, you know, the virus from getting inside of the borders.
You know?
Yeah, true.
But you can minimize the chance of that happening.
Yeah.
You can.
We are saving the world on the Gabcast tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
Indeed.
Did you guys watch the walking?
Well, do you watch Walking Dead?
No.
I do.
No.
Did you see the premiere last night, Jazz?
Yeah, I did.
I did.
I thought it was fantastic.
Yeah, I thought it was very action-packed.
Like it was the edge of your seat.
You not look at your watch, not looking at your watch the entire time.
So, sorry to interject, but I'm just wondering.
I heard a spoiler.
You guys tell me if it's true, but I hear that in this season, the zombies get Ebola.
Is that true?
I don't know how you would be able to tell unless you took their temperatures rectally.
So you think zombies farts smell pretty bad?
I never really thought of it before, but I would say you're not.
It's all those brains.
Yeah.
Making their farts stink.
Yeah, that might happen.
I'm just glad that the guys got out of the prison and they're on the road again because...
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Some of us might not have seen this.
There was probably some people listening that may have not watched it.
Well, that was last season.
That was the middle of last season when they got out of the prison.
Well, got out.
That's not everyone might be caught up.
We could be ruining it for them right now.
I hate that.
You can't talk about it.
Why can't we talk about it?
Well, you just say spoiler alert and then run away from the thing or turn it off.
Please stop listening to the gab cast now.
It's like a bunch of people.
It's like trying to escape Ebola.
You just can't.
There's no way.
I might as well volunteer to get Ebola as some kind of test subject just to get it over with.
But I've never understood.
Speaking about spoilers for a second, I've never understood why people want to be spoiled about a TV show.
Yeah, that doesn't make any sense.
Like, why would you want to be spoiled before you see it?
I've never understood that.
Some people can't take the adrenaline rush, the suspense, too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
I think they can't handle it.
You can handle the truth.
Yeah.
That's what I would guess.
You know, like, you know, someone ruined Breaking Bad for me.
They told me in the last episode that it turns out that Walt is actually Batman.
I was very upset when they did that.
I was very mad.
Did you ever see the alternate ending to that?
Where he turns out to be the flash?
No.
No, the Green Lantern.
God damn it.
No!
Walt wakes up in bed with his wife from Malcolm in the Middle.
Nice.
It was all a dream.
Just a bad dream.
That would have been pretty awesome.
There was that, and there was the other theory was that he would go into witness protection and have a family, the family from Malcolm in the Middle East.
Nice.
And that's the first episode of Malcolm in the Middle.
Nice.
They did a similar thing on New Heart.
The last season, or the very last episode of the final season, he woke up in his Chicago apartment with Emily, and it was all a dream.
I thought that was pretty cool.
That was brilliant.
Only Bob Newhart can do that.
Yeah.
Man's a genius.
Where do you get these alternate endings?
Is it on the DVD?
Is it on YouTube?
Or you get talking about Torrance or what?
Oh, no.
I saw someone posted to Facebook just after the episode aired.
And I think it was officially done, but I don't know where it originally came from.
It could have been a funny or die clip or something like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
So we got somebody calling in here.
Uh-oh.
You're on the air.
Hello, you're on the air.
Uh-oh.
Turn off your radio, please, sir.
Let me pot him down.
Hello, on the air.
Turn off your radio.
Oops.
You son of a Belgium.
What's up, man?
Can you hear me?
You can't hear me.
Is it Onin?
No, this is Agent Orange, our friend from the North.
Our drunk friend from the North, it sounds like.
Oh, he just dropped out.
Might be the connection.
Agent Orange, try to call back, man.
We could hear you, and obviously you couldn't hear us.
Caller, turn your radio off.
First time I've actually been able to say that, and it was true.
So it might have been his Skype connection.
So we'll wait for him to call back.
Stand by.
We will return to regular programming at the moment.
So, yeah, so alternate endings.
Yeah.
How about an ending for Game of Thrones?
Do you think that show is just going to continue in perpetuity or is it actually going to go somewhere?
Well, it all depends on whether the author dies or not.
Hey, don't be like that.
Well, he doesn't look like the healthiest guy around.
Well, you'll have that.
Especially, is he American?
Yeah.
I believe he is.
Yeah.
So assuming that he is not terminally ill, and that's one of the things that's kind of started to annoy me about that show, is it just seems like it's just going to keep branching out, branching out, and all these different storylines are going to be happening.
At some point, it's going to be impossible to follow.
Unlike a show that's kind of similar to that, Rome, which had a very definitive storyline because it's historical, was very much like it didn't really wander.
It had a very sharp narrative and kind of like, I don't know, thoughts.
Would anyone care to respond?
Well, I'm tracking down some issues here.
I'm taking some technical problems.
So, guys, you haven't seen it?
No.
So, Rome is basically like Game of Thrones, but without dragons and magic.
So, it's boring.
No.
There's probably more sex and Rome than there is in Game of Thrones.
And there's a lot more blood.
Well, you've sold it to me.
Blood and six.
Sold.
You know, I couldn't make it past the first episode of Rome.
I tried to watch it on your recommendation, by the way.
And I couldn't make it past it.
So I might try again later when I feel like putting up with a minutiae, but I don't know.
It just didn't strike home with me for some reason.
Even with the blood and sex and all that.
The nude and nudity.
Yeah.
Seemed kind of complex, like, well, similar to Game of Thrones.
You know, I still don't know what the fuck's going on or who belongs, you know, whose family with who and who this person is related to.
There's a lot of political intrigue.
There's a lot of plotting and counterplotting.
There's a great scene where Caesar and Mark Antony are bribing one of the augers, one of the priests, to gain favor so they can win over the public.
And it's a great scene.
It's really well done.
But if you don't pay attention, you're not going to follow what's going on.
I like to watch Tay where I don't have to pay attention.
Yeah, that's Game of Thrones.
Look out, a giant!
Run!
Everyone's dead.
No!
Look, boobs!
Now the midgets here.
That's why I like the A-team so much because you really don't have to pay attention.
No, you don't.
You're on the air.
How's it going?
Hey, can you hear us now?
Yes.
Can you hear me?
We can hear you.
How's it going, fellas?
What's up, buddy?
How you doing?
Not too bad.
Not too bad.
Busy as anything.
But Canadian Thanksgiving.
That's what I hear.
I hear that you've been real busy, and I saw that you posted in the science thread today.
Yeah, I came back today to post for a little bit.
I haven't really kept up on the board at all.
And I was wondering.
We're getting close to the time of year when Jazz Munda demolished Art Bell's show.
So I was thinking it would be good to listen to some of the shows from last year and just relive that horrible thrashing.
Yeah.
That's right.
It was around Halloween that Art quit, wasn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
Did he quit or did he get kicked to the curb?
Depends on who you ask.
Yeah.
Something bad happened.
Is there anything?
I think he started to pout about not being happy with something, and then they were just like, fuck it.
Yeah, it's strange.
It's a strange thing.
It was the streaming issues and everything.
So go ahead.
Go ahead, Ajino.
Yeah.
So other than the Ebola thing, or sort of making veiled implication that he's still reading Belgab, has he said anything about returning or has there been any news or any updates on that?
No.
Wow.
Well, there has been in the last maybe six months nothing new, but I think, Jazz, you want to address that?
You're the Art Bell expert.
Jazz, are you there?
Did we lose Jazz?
Chaiza.
Apparently we lost Jazz.
He posted something maybe two or three months ago saying that if SiriusXM will let me out of my contract or stop the non-compete, then I would have broadcast the podcast on the same time that I did before, which was, what, 7 West, 9 East?
And then he said, but because they won't let me out of my non-compete, that I'm going to broadcast at the same time as Coast to Coast.
So he's going directly up against Premiere Radio and Coast to Coast AM.
Wow.
And he also said July 2015 is when he's going to come back.
We didn't get a specific date, but kind of general, but it's a couple of months earlier than we expected, you know, because everybody thought that he was going to come back September or October of 2015.
Yeah, I think it might be based on when he signed the contract with them.
Okay.
And that's just conjecture on my part or on other Bell Gabbers' parts.
He did start in September, but if he signed the contract in June, then maybe that's why it's June 2015.
Oh, yeah, 2015.
Yeah.
Wow.
That still seems like a long time to wait.
I really enjoyed the show and I miss it, you know?
Yeah, I think we all do.
But I miss the live chats as well.
That was awesome.
Yeah, that was the best part about it.
Yeah, that's all still there, too.
I mean, I'm really surprised that somebody doesn't put up a stream of all the dark matter shows and have people go through and relive some of those shows on Bellgap, you know?
Well, they're all on YouTube, I think.
But I mean, like, have a group, you know, have somebody I'm going to play, you know, whichever show or the week of shows and have everybody join in and chat along with the episode with the stream.
It's not the same as being live live.
I just want that feeling again.
God damn it.
This might be a really good time for me to tell everyone to go get a life.
I'm sure you were also involved in the live chat speed up.
Which ones?
You mean like the thread with the would open for each show?
I do a little bit, but like I'm not saying that we should go back and like try to relive the glory days of six weeks of it.
Come on, guys.
Come on.
I just want to relive the past, man.
I can't get out of the past.
It was a lot of fun.
It was a lot of fun.
Go ahead, Agent.
Yeah, I think a lot of the energy is going to be lost, too.
I mean, any kind of return that he makes now, you know, we all were so in, everybody was so into it, and he had such a fan base that was waiting for him.
And then, you know, next time he comes back, well, maybe it'll be an extra couple weeks longer.
But, you know, I don't think he'll ever get the energy back that he had going into the Dark Matter show.
No, and people aren't going to trust that he's going to be there for the long run.
That's right.
We're going to be very skeptical of whether he's going to stick around or even if he'll even come back.
I'm not convinced.
Yeah, the first time that he mentions, oh, my back is giving me problems today, you know, people are going to start speculating.
Oh, that's it.
It's over.
The show's done.
A spider bit me.
Yeah, a spider bit me.
Remember that?
Oh, he's quitting.
He's giving up on us again.
Yeah.
So what's new in science, Agent Orange?
Is there anything exciting new?
You know what I saw I wanted to ask you about is they're talking about the nano bridge to the to space.
And it's not called the bridge, but it's a line.
It's a line going from the Earth up to some space elevator.
Yeah, space elevator, yeah.
It sounds like they found a way to make the material that's stronger than steel and harder than diamonds, but it's still in the experimental stage.
Yeah, so I'm guessing that's some kind of nanostructured material that they would use to build that.
That's a really amazing idea.
I mean, you can just basically take an elevator up into low Earth orbit, and that takes away all the cost of moving fuel around.
Yeah, yeah.
So it's a really neat idea.
Like whether or not it's feasible, I'm not sure.
But I guess encouraging if they've made progress on the materials issue, materials end of it.
There's also a story about fusion power plants, this new design that they have for a fusion reactor.
Their thinking might actually be able to – the claim is one day produce energy that's cheaper than coal.
And it all has to do with the design of this reactor.
It's called a Dynamac reactor.
And yeah, I mean, this is an interesting thing as well.
That sort of came across the radar for news stories.
Let me ask you this.
Where's that buzz coming from?
Is it coming from the scientific community or is it coming from big energy?
See, I mean, I haven't followed the fusion business very closely at all.
And this was just something that sort of popped up on a news site.
And I thought it was interesting.
One of those things that I sort of ran into in more than one place.
So I don't know if they just have a good publicist or if there's some real teeth to that.
What was the reactor called?
Dynamac?
Dynamac or something like this?
Yeah.
We really need that.
We need cheap energy that doesn't throw out tons and tons of carbon into the atmosphere, you know?
Yeah, something more efficient.
But I guess that goes along with the that's sort of the same philosophy behind the space elevator, too, right?
So how can we save energy in getting stuff up into orbit?
Yeah, they are also talking about putting solar sails on the top of the thing because it gets sunlight all the time in the type of orbit that they're talking about.
So it could also generate some kilowatts there.
Oh, that's very cool.
Yeah, the story actually, one of the things that was, okay, for science story that's a little bit more that I've sort of kept up on a little bit more, one of the things that was really interesting to me lately is there's been this big survey that astronomers have done, and they're mapping the positions and velocities of galaxies that are near the Milky Way.
So galaxies that are close to us.
And they actually found that there's a large structure that we're a part of.
It's just like this giant, giant galaxy cluster around us that we're basically embedded in.
Really?
This is called the Laniakea cluster, which is a Hawaiian name for the Hawaiian navigators that use the stars to that use the stars to navigate.
It's named after these guys because the discovery was made in part from the telescopes that are on Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
So, I mean, anyway, what this thing is, is just a huge, so it's just a huge collection of galaxies that are nearby us that are all tied together gravitationally.
It's sort of hard to tell where one of the members stops and the other one starts because the structure of it is sort of like a web.
They're moving together toward one another and interacting with one another under gravity.
Even because they're millions of light years apart.
Yeah, there's so much mass in them.
Because gravity, the strength of gravity between two things depends on how massive they are and how far apart they are, right?
So because there's so much mass within the galaxies, even if they're great distances apart, they can still attract one another, interact with one another.
But I mean, this thing is really neat.
When you look at the trajectories that they've mapped out, I can post a link in the chat.
I'll get onto that after the call, I guess.
But it forms this interesting structure that just looks like it's just so hard to describe it.
I mean, it's something that's like it almost looks like a nerve cell or something, like a network of these objects.
And of course, they're plotting the trajectories as well, right?
So it's not an actual simulation of what these things look like.
I've seen it.
But yeah, very interesting.
So, I mean, the idea that we're just embedded in this hierarchy of structure is really sort of fascinating to me.
Like, you know, like we're just like mites living on, you know, God's eyelashes or something like that.
That is amazing.
That's a fascinating idea, yeah.
I've seen pictures where they show, you know, extremely small things like the structure of cells or, you know, the structure of microscopic materials.
And then they're showing extremely large things like galaxy clusters and how stars look and things like that.
And it's amazingly similar, you know, just by the look of it.
It definitely looks like there's some sort of structure there.
And pretty amazing.
I have a question.
I didn't hear anything about torsion field physics or 19.5 degrees.
So therefore, everything you said is wrong.
This is clearly bullshit.
Clearly bullshit.
Yeah, I put a little link to the Wikipedia thing up in chat there.
Cool.
Yeah, neat.
I mean, it's really interesting too, I guess, because, I mean, like I say, the structure of it is just interesting to look at.
And if you look up on YouTube that name of this supercluster, you can see the trajectories of these galaxies and the structure of this thing sort of move around in 3D.
And it almost looks like, I don't know, it's a nerve cell or something like that.
It's just neat-looking structure to it.
Very striking.
And that just got me thinking, like, well, it's interesting because of the Big Bang.
All the matter in the universe is almost uniform, right?
And then as time goes on, the structure forms, things become more fragmented and form these complicated structures like that.
So what if it's just like a big neural network or something that's doing a calculation, you know?
And we just live on the just fleas living on the back of a dog and we don't even realize it.
So amazing.
Redacted asked in the chat room that isn't the Milky Way going to collide with another galaxy?
I think it's Andromeda?
Yeah, they're going to interact at one point with one another in some way.
Billions of years away, though, isn't it?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Huge, huge.
Yeah.
Very, very long distance.
The sun burned out before that time, right?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
But yeah, either galaxy goes on without us.
So is it possible that when our sun dies, it'll form a black hole and then our solar system will gobble up the galaxy that's colliding with us?
And so we'll win.
Get us.
And America wins again.
It will win.
That's the important part.
America.
But nobody will be there to see it.
We're going to get shirts made and everything.
We don't.
The sun isn't like.
It's sort of interesting thing as well.
Like, I mean, you know, we think of like, people think of like black holes as just like a big vacuum cleaner that sucks things up or whatever.
But really, I mean, it's the strength of gravity from a black hole is the same.
If you took the mass of the sun, turn the sun into a black hole.
So I mean, just replace the sun with a black hole that has the same mass.
The planets just keep going around it as they would otherwise.
It's only when you get really close to the black hole that you wind up having having real problems of falling in and not being able to get out.
Well, that's far away from it.
It's the same amount of mass, so it's the same amount of gravity that you get from it.
So the sun doesn't have enough mass to turn into a black hole, but it will wind up forming something called a white dwarf star.
Oh, you're always going to be a party pooper, aren't you?
I have faith in our sun.
I have faith in our sun.
It's going to become a black hole and destroy everything.
For America.
Merica.
Merka's got the bola now.
The bola.
Got the bola.
You guys got the bola up there in the north?
No bola yet, huh?
No bola.
No bola.
Well, you guys got a healthcare system.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, I don't know.
I don't know.
Scary stuff.
It is.
Yeah.
We got to have you on sometime when you're not so busy, and we can do a whole show of science kind of science type stuff.
Cool.
Yeah, that would be awesome.
Zebo says, remember, folks, space is big.
Space is big.
That's great.
That's great advice.
Wow.
It is big.
He's a genius.
That Zebo.
That Zebo, man.
That little squirrel.
He's a genius.
Indeed.
All right, AO.
Thanks for calling me.
Awesome.
Yeah.
Cheers, guys.
Take care.
Good talking to you all again.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Oh, yeah.
I forgot to ask him what he was eating for Thanksgiving.
Probably the same thing.
He's eating baby.
Turkey.
Maybe.
Baby turkeys.
Maybe.
Baby turkeys.
I hear they're nice and tender and tasty, but they're hard to catch.
Mean baby turkeys.
There is a welcome back, Jazz.
There's a turkey farm not far from here.
And I was driving by it the other day, and all the turkeys, for some reason, were like, they were in the fence, but they were right up against the road.
And as I drove by, I was like, Thanksgiving's coming.
It would turn out to be a mean baby.
Yes.
So you're trying to terrify the turkeys?
The turkeys taunting the turkeys.
Or are you like over?
You were salivating looking at the turkeys.
Excuse me.
I was just making a Game of Thrones reference.
Oh.
And taunting the turkeys at the same time.
Because they're all going to die horribly.
They are.
But they're so tasty.
I love turkeys.
Delicious.
Delicious.
What was that, Jazz?
Did we cut you off?
Just about six weeks ago, I noticed that our department stores already were selling Christmas decorations.
Oh, God.
I hate that.
That's in September, you know, it's crazy.
Yeah.
I made the mistake of going into a cracker barrel for breakfast recently, and I saw that they had Christmas stuff up, which really irritates the shit out of me.
And I said something to the woman, and I was like, don't you think it's a little early for Christmas?
And she's like, oh, you know, actually, we usually put our Christmas stuff up in July.
And I was like, what?
Just kind of looked at her like, do you not understand my point?
Christmas is six months away.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Why do you hate Christmas?
It's a war.
It's a war on the Jesus, baby.
You hate baby Jesus and you hate Christmas and you hate America.
BWR ISIS.
I am.
I'm an ISIS hole.
Show me your beard.
Show me your beard.
No.
Those guys are way too dedicated and disciplined.
I can barely get my ass out of bed in the morning.
You would be a failed terrorist.
You would have missed the flights.
Not failed.
I just would never have gotten around to joining.
I saw some funny, unintentional newspaper headlines.
You know, sometimes the newspapers don't hire the best writers, and they write these headlines that are pretty funny.
This first one says, the county to pay $250,000 to advertise a lack of funds.
Actual newspaper headline.
Let's see.
Army vehicle disappears.
An Australian Army vehicle worth $74,000 has gone missing after being painted with camouflage.
So they camouflaged it, and now they can't find it.
Only in Australia.
Dead body found in cemetery.
News at 11.
The suspense is killing me.
Deaf people focused on or focus of fraud.
I tried to warn people and saved some of them from investing, but they didn't listen.
Deaf people?
Yeah.
They didn't listen.
They didn't listen.
Is this thing on?
We need a laugh track.
For the love of God.
Why did we not have a laugh track?
Okay.
Okay.
Hold on.
I mean.
Diana was still alive hours before she died.
There we go.
Now we sound professional.
Most earthquake damage is caused by shaking.
These are actual newspaper headlines.
Federal agents raid gun shop.
Find numerous weapons.
Jeepers.
Is this bombing?
Should I keep going or is this really bombing?
I'm sorry, were you saying something?
Fuck you.
A man accused of killing lawyer received a new attorney.
Nice.
I don't know if I have a good laugh track here.
Mississippi literacy program shows improvement and they misspelled literacy.
Nice.
There's one more that I wanted to read.
I've got to find it.
It's too bad you can't.
It's too bad you can't like mix in George's laugh with the laugh track.
That would be precious.
This very complex.
Am I setting the bar too high?
You are setting the bar too high.
I'm sorry, man.
No.
Okay.
One-armed man applauds the kindness of strangers.
Oh, no.
Nice.
The one-armed man applauding?
Yes.
Where's the one I wanted to read here?
Okay.
No, that's not it.
Okay, here it is.
Let me get the right laugh track going here.
Chick accuses some of her male colleagues of sexism.
Chick.
I guess that's the end of it.
I'm sorry.
Could you explain that to me again?
Do you want me to explain every single one?
Mm-hmm.
Please.
I've got one here.
There's psychics predict world didn't end yesterday.
Nice.
Maybe that's what it was.
It was my delivery.
I think it's funnier when Jazz Munda does it.
Student excited that dad got head job.
Oh, boy.
I think these are really below B-Dub's humor level.
I think B-W-I-S-E-S-E-N-O-N-A-N-I-N-E-N-I-N-E-N-I-I-I-I-I-N-C-A-N-I- Think you know that that that bit with the head job that's gonna lead to an awkward conversation with a kid when he's like dad.
I don't understand why that's funny.
Well son, when a man very much.
Let me tell you a story about your mother.
There was a headline in the um in a newspaper down here that said, man arrested after cops spot suspiciously small package in his undies.
this is a good one Condom condom, truck tips spills load, nice.
Oh, that's choice.
It is funnier when Jazz reads it it's.
It was my delivery, I think, from the NEW YORK POST.
Wieners Rise And Fall.
Wieners Rise And Fall Dear.
Are they really gonna?
Let us probe it.
George George Goodness, easy tiger, whatever have you have you, Eddie?
Have you had any more?
Um uh, prank calls or calls from um telemarketers?
Oh yeah, I do have a prank call here.
Um, I got it ready right now.
Here we go, sir.
My PLS agent number is 902.
May I ask who i'm speaking with, George Norrie, in case we get disconnected.
Mr Dory, is this the best phone number to reach you back on?
I'm George Norrie.
Say that again, sir.
I'm George Norrie.
Okay, Mr. Norrie, in case we get disconnected, can I reach you back at the phone number?
Good morning, Ken.
Yes.
No, not at all.
What?
You hung up?
Oh, man.
What was she trying to sell you?
She was trying to sell the Medic Alert bracelets or something.
You know, I've fallen.
I can't get up.
But I just love her saying, can I call you back, Mr. Dory?
Yeah.
That was hilarious.
It's a short one.
I don't know.
I have another one, but it's that Burger King prank.
It seems like we've lost the energy of the show.
Maybe we should wind it down unless you guys have something.
I think maybe you need to start taking vitamins.
Oh, is it me?
My energy is down.
I don't know.
Is that what it is?
You need geratol.
Cures tired blood.
We could play another.
Don't we have the commercial from the last episode?
Oh, yeah.
No one got to hear.
I need to play that one too.
As he says it angrily.
Okay.
Let's see what happens.
I'll be right back, babe.
I'm going to get some beer.
No need.
I bought some earlier.
But you never buy beer.
It's new.
It's for active gentlemen.
It's locale.
Forget that.
No, it's a regular, full-bodied beer.
Not watered down like light beer.
Well, I don't know.
Here, try it.
Hey, that's not half bad.
I knew you'd like it.
Wow, that went down smooth and fast.
Here, have another.
Okay.
Oh, boy.
I'm feeling kind of weird.
That's the secret ingredient at work.
Oh, God.
It's a gentle but effective laxative.
What?
Oh, no.
Oh, God.
Laxabrew, the beer for active gentlemen, ops barley, the purest filtered water, and a gentle but effective laxative, all combine to make laxabrew a unique product that gets the active gentleman in your life an extra boost.
Besides, if he ate a salad once in a while, instead of always reaching for a cheeseburger, there would be no need for products like this.
Oh, God, dabbit.
I think I'm gonna die.
Oh, you'll be fine.
Laxabrew for the active gentleman in your life.
Oh, Jesus.
A proud product of Tanko.
You see, I don't know if it's the active gentleman talking, but gee, BW sounds so sexy as a woman.
Thanks, man.
Yep.
Well, I might need to retire now.
That's your retiring joke?
That's the best one?
Well, all right.
Yes, it is.
That's one of my best, better.
The label that I made for that product was one of my better Photoshop efforts, I think.
Yeah, that was really great.
I think I might even put it on the show down, though.
Or, you know, I want to put these up on our YouTube channel.
The Laxa Brew commercial and all the Tanko commercials and a couple more of the George Nori soundboard virus Windows technical department virus scams that I did.
And I'll put that label up there when I do that.
You know, I think I promised you I'd do that a couple weeks ago and I haven't done it yet.
But when it gets posted on our YouTube channel, I'll post it in the Gabcast thread.
You infernal slacker.
I know.
I know.
Well, let me just.
Is there anything else you guys want to talk about?
Did we just so everyone knows Eddie Dean's the mastermind that puts these commercials together?
He's the genius that makes that happen.
He's got mad skills, mad props to Eddie Dean.
Hooray!
Thank you, sir.
I'm just being a little obsequious.
It's the Laxabrew talking.
Could be.
Thanks for listening, everybody.
Everybody in the chat room at ufoshift.com.
If you guys would like to, you know, all of these gabcasts are available for download at ufoshift.com.
So if you missed one or, you know, we have a back catalog of almost a year of gabcast shows.
So you can check it out then.
We also are checking it out at ufoshift.com.
Also, Spec Sheet, I believe, is on tomorrow.
And Fret Files is coming up.
Maybe, I'm not sure when they're going to release that, but there should be a new episode of Fret Files up.
And that's it.
Yeah.
Right?
Did I miss anything?
Is there anything you missed about it?
I think we solved all the world's problems for a couple weeks.
