Brace Bella and Liz dissect UFO lore with Mars Attacks! as a springboard, mocking humanity’s hypothetical "shoot first" reflex while debating why aliens might build Stonehenge instead of leaving tech—dismissing Monty Python’s randomness but praising Spinal Tap’s wit. They weigh the risks of alien diplomacy versus instinctive violence, framing the discussion as a mix of cosmic caution and comedic chaos, all while self-deprecatingly calling themselves the "female Dennis Miller." The episode blends absurdity with sharp skepticism about extraterrestrial intentions. [Automatically generated summary]
I want to say I don't know anything about ancient aliens, which should be a plus.
Old ass on the old little score sheet.
But how ancient are we talking?
They're so old.
Like, could you get an alien from like 1600s?
Like, not that ancient.
Yeah, well, that's ancient to me.
I think it's just ancient.
That's like almost modern.
It just means like very close to modern.
It means like an old wisened alien.
It'd be like a Greek alien.
Yeah, like a guy who comes down like a toga and is like, you guys should, this is a battery.
And like, kind of like hooks the Aztecs up with that shit.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
My question is, why would they build the pyramids?
What, like, what do the aliens need from, like, if they built them, what, why?
It's the idea that they built Stonehenge.
That's an idea.
That thing is crazy.
That thing is crazy.
And I still, I don't, what's up with that?
What's up with it?
I've been there.
And I was like, dude, what were you went there?
I went there.
I went to England when I was a kid.
And I was like, what were you guys doing back then?
Yeah, I've been there too.
You've been to Stonehenge?
Yeah, I've been there too.
Okay.
Well, you were surprised that I went there.
You know, I'm just like, you guys had, it's crazy they had druids too, because that to me is like a wizard with an animal friend.
Yeah.
But like, I mean, just what was like, why are they just building stone stuff?
Can't they leave us like a laser?
Is my question.
Maybe they just wanted to make something with what we had available to be like, look at what the cool stuff that we can do with what you got.
You can't do this.
We can.
And we're just doing it with what you got in your backyard.
Local materials, like a craft fair or something like that.
They were just kind of showing off.
You know, when you put it that way, I think it's kind of nice.
That was almost word for word the intro to Stonehenge by Spinal Tap.
Is it really?
Yeah, he's like, there were people called the Druids.
No one knows who they were or what they were doing.
It's so good.
I love Spinal Tap.
I should watch that.
I haven't seen that since.
My grandpa and I would, when I would go stay with them in the summer, we would always watch Spinal Tap and then it would be Monty Python for the whole summer.
I hate Monty Python.
Oh my God.
I thought it was the funniest fucking thing.
When I was like seven, eight years old, I was like, this is humor.
And you know what?
You see the evidence today.
I still have the same sense of humor.
I think that shit is like so fucking funny.
It's too random for me.
But quick-witted, too.
I don't like a little too quick.
A lot of references as well.
Too many references.
I'll say that.
I'm the queen of references.
Well, I don't know if you're the queen.
Yeah, I'm the female Dennis Miller.
You're the female.
Okay, you know what?
I'll say that.
You're the female Dennis Miller.
He's the king of references.
Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Brace Bella.
I'm, of course, joined by the female Dennis Miller.
No, I'm Liz.
We are joined by the real Dennis Miller, aka Young Chomsky.
And this is Tronan.
Hello, everyone.
How?
Liz, let me ask you this: right, how Mars attacks.
Yes.
Right?
You know, chaos, devastation.
Crazy, right?
Everyone's hair flips up.
Flips up.
Bam.
No, but like in that movie, right?
In that documentary, those guys are the Martians come down.
Like, I don't know if it's in the White House, but it's like in a field, and everyone's like kind of there to greet them.
They got the army politicians.
You got all the bystanders, all the news people there to meet them.
And people are always like, and this isn't just Mars attacks.
First Shot, Aliens Boom00:00:51
There's a lot of alien movies, right?
People are always kind of like, oh, don't have the army there.
Like, don't have the army.
I'm sorry.
It's crazy not to shoot the alien the second he walks out of that craft, right?
I mean, I think it's crazy for the Americans not to do it based on how I know Americans act, but I think it's crazy to do that.
But like, I mean, like, just first of all, you shoot one.
It's gonna, it's like, first of all, you don't know how alien bodies and their biology, like how it works.
So you could shoot it.
It could be like clockwork.
Boom.
It makes it spawns a thousand aliens.
Oh, that's a good point.
Joe's apartment.
Yeah, you can't squish him's birth a million.
You know, but then how do you?
Oh, then you have to actually, you have to show it love and then it shrinks back into nothing.
I think, regardless, the first move is always diplomacy.
