Here's. The thing: saving money with Geico was almost better than playing pick up basketball, because there's always that guy
joint your game
ever passes the rock he constantly.
Rex theories and who completely happy when
put his hands up and say no foul, no foul with Geico. It's easy to switch
save on car insurance, no need
make ankle sprain because you're absolutely exhausted. So
which, in save with Geiger it's almost better than sports,
Welcome to stop. You should know for in house, therefore extend far just don't judge characters, trust of each a bright, and this is a special edition of stepping up, because jury is trans mortified into gas. Producing no apologies requires quite a bit of alchemy, it does
movement, alcohol and summer in like a magnificent brown bearded and if she had a richer waving from it
looking good, no yeah Jerry's gone on top secret mission can talk about. It, makes a topsecret you're talking about, but she's coming back at some point and not let this forever knows this thing I guess we'll have to make a sweep out of it. Yet no produced shows you should know summer of SAM debt. Sweet knows
Not at all events grows. How you do I mean I'm great, I'm so,
the reading adds these days that, like I just panic like I lost my place, then those like, oh yes, actual Pakistan's Rambo, install wrong as they need to remember this from you.
It was this. Then you will have to fill the movie was watch. The last night sure did you yes, while it is basically I mean the pot makes sense, but it's like a fifteen
plot they manage a lot of chasing in. Yet
you're really draw out. There really gets it yeah, they drew it up, but the
here behind, especially when we see nineteen eighty four hours eight- and I was this- is about a timer like I'm going to do to university study, Perry psychology. When I get older in your aid yeah, I didn't know college wasn't out eight. Definitely those in my will ass well
So this was like right up my alley. Yeah now that I've, I watched it as a child. Like man who was an idiot when I was eight foot, it was pretty cool back. The special effects are like eighties Rafik, oh yes, they do not hold up now, but I mean, if you're a fan of Tron jeweller video drowned.
Yeah you're gonna love this movie, storing the great Michael Puree, yes and dumb rebel cops partner, Nancy Ellen she, whose one also she and famously she's in a bunch eighties movies
yeah that was her big one though it was. She always like Co. Storing the female lead, I think, yeah don't think she was ever like the lead in a movie. They didn't make movies with female leads in the eighties. I can remember in this context a real I d say female, or should it be the girl?
need to female eleven. They didn't make leads with about women as the lead in the eighties they're out there to prop up the dude
Last other working girl. There was, in the eighties good point, ninety five three Ladys pickaback few and far between what I'm trying to lobby for gender equality in Hollywood
yeah. Well, you sure in your like no look at ninety five. There were some yea at your eighty. I agree with you.
That I don't mean to argue you're right. It's view there are few and far between that's what you call a trap would have a barber Ella arrows Seventys was sixty sixtyth infinite. Well, just like the makers of the Philadelphia experiment, you and I know how to
ya out a fifteen minute plot? Hey. I also want to point out Michael Parade disappeared in any in the cruisers owes it was here that he was Eddie was the was that they, some Bruce Springsteen
then like earth, if there was a basin any real life band now I mean it echoed he was. He was Springsteen, ask right, but it wasn't like you know. I think they were this. I think the riders like you do, I like, like Springsteen you're, so let's get junk everyday to sing like Springsteen and put Michael prey to lips. Think while better Eddie, that's that's ladys reflective and I saw John Cavity in concert in the eighties settle what else is here now he was the band. He was the real band John Cavity in the Beaver Brown band. Ok, they sang songs for real. I saw a concert
so. I am well aware that, and they now become the Zack Brown Bear that's right right who looks like no full circle full circle we just did it? Can we be done so that fill the experiment? I guess is right up Michael Perez Alley because echoed real life too. In a way it away you're. The makers went back and read a couple of books that purported to be nonfiction accounts of this incredible experiments carried out by the Navy so incredible and we should probably like sluts described,
experiment to begin with right experiments. We should say yeah, that's true! This article gets a wrong here on house of work here. There are two separate thing.
Both involving the destroyer ship called the USS Eldridge recently Commission summer of nineteen, forty three as when it began July. I think an what's up
Thirdly, happened was that there was the ship and there was a big secret Navy experiment that whose what's aim was to make the ship disappear. Yeah, not just
two like radar, something like that. But if there is a guy with the periscope, he would look right past the ship because it had been made invisible, essentially envisage
and then the story goes that that was successful. There was a successful experiment that was carried out yet
peered in full view in broad daylight. From though, was it the Philadelphia shipyard yet and then
reappeared those a big glow,
then it reappeared and all the sailors aboard were in bad shape, so did that take place in July? It was that took place in July. Ok will ok, then it happened again.
October. Within seconds fear, then they re, try the experiment, supposedly the ship disappeared and popped up in Virginia Norfolk. Virginia
Then then reappeared ten minutes prior, so Tom travelled back ten minutes and filled to Philadelphia. Again and again, the sailors were in bad shape, even by telling
taken standards, that's impossible without any yeah and support,
Lee these, this ship men were arm
the men were were some were caught like in
metal of the ship right, I'm crazed and crazy right. So basically the implication is that they had been. Some sort of
Some fancy molecular early disintegrated, the along with the ship,
and then when it was brought back together, the coordinates where maybe off slightly right, maybe the ship and the people.
Where where they were ten minutes earlier right and things just when a little
Why are like a perhaps on the Lido deck and my lower house on the were the other texts.
But the simile decade. Now, if the party deck the tangled tangled yeah and the the the and I'm still alive- and I also gone mad because my brain
didn't configure back correctly either. Yes- and this was all possible thanks to Albert Einstein, working with the Navy yet and teaching them all a little tricks on how you can make ships disappear in time. Travel specifically, the theory is that, where the rumour that conjecture, the conspiracy theory, is that Albert Einstein figured out,
the unified field theory, which is not really did not basically the theory of everything now it first faded and for his whole life. There's this idea in physics that there's possibly one explanation for the behaviour of everything in the universe. Right now we ve got a pretty good theory. I think the theory especial relativity ties and three of the fundamental forces in the universe, but gravities this out
that can't be tied in through physics formulas and they think that there is some way of understanding things too, where everything ties together and, as I think, meteor cuckoo famously put it. He said that what what their searching for with a unified field theory is within a formula in inch long you'll, be able to re gods, mind tat the ideas that the answer came up with this unified the field theory again, not true, and there it was used to understand how to teleport things. So they use this understanding to carry out an experiment with a bunch of navies.
On a destroyer in broad daylight, because you can, you can imagine the advantage to be able to make your ship invisible and not only that if you could figure out a teleport it like you, you done did no more war because you would win them all and there s the robot, just carrot: you're invisible feet. Yeah! You just
pop up behind your enemy. Put him in a full Nelson, umbilical people like you and that's it.
Let him go and be like this right and you tell put out a there. You see how easy
that could happen Nazi unified theory. It so
the Philadelphia experiment never happened like that at least one will go ahead and not give any credence to the conspiracy theorist out there. Although will probably get
of people that Imelda in oh man. This is this is like a nucleus of conspiracy theory. It ties in you. I found her ties in theoretical physics. Yet U S government, of course, YAP Jain Armas cover up eighty ties in all these different things really really interesting. If you go read this stuff, it's it's! It's to me! It's more interesting than just just UFO conspiracy. There you're, just government cover up conspiracy. Theory is like a clear
ass of conspiracy theories, all tied up in one package on the secret experiment that if you listen to the Navy's official line, never took place there never was a Philadelphia experiment right there never was. It was also known as project rainbow. There is never a project rainbow, I just didn't happen. The whole thing was made up out of whole cloth, apparently by a guy named Carlos. Am I end
yeah and their work. There is a couple kinky details will go over why this thing is survived
but later, but there are a few kinky details: not they make it believable, but that just have field the fire of the earth. Let's, let's take a break right. Your check, if I'm gonna blow over, excited, ok, just put
You're done, you may find pay, I'm Andy. If you don't know me, it's probably because I'm not famous, but I did start immense grooming company called Harry's. The idea for Harry's came out of a frustrating experience. I had buying razor blades, most brains were overpriced over designed and out of touch at Harry's,
approaches, simple cures, our secret. We make sharp, durable, blades and sell them at honest prices for as long as two dollars. Each we care about quality,
so much that we do some crazy things like by world class german blade factory.
Sensing over every detail means were confident in offering a hundred percent quality guarantee millions of
I already made the switch to Harry's. So thank you. If you're one of them and if you're not, we hope you give us a try with the specialist
get a hairy start or set with a five blade. Razor waited handle shave, Joe and travel cover, offer just three bucks, plus free shipping just go to Harry's dot com and enter for four four: four at check out: that's Harry's dot com code for four four: four,
enjoy very wicked body, we're back how much time has passed in your mind
millions of years. It's only been about three hours. If you arrested, I do feel very refreshed good. Well, we can can
yeah, so you tease demand name while he had some
name's, Carl imagine or
a pseudonym Carlos Miguel Island
I gave a majority on the end, all sound mysterious year, an oasis and they d
So I nineteen fifty six
I was gonna, get away back machine, but I think we should even bother for this now this actually for if there is no way back machine that right, so nineteen fifty six in.
Time Ellen days it a letter and he would go
send about fifty more letters to an author anymore. It's Jessup who wrote a book a year earlier called the case for the: U S: oh yes, which you can find on the park has paid for this episode. Yeah he's a, but he was an author. He psychology do that wrote a bunch of books. I mean well mean physiology. Yet I mean legit is in
like he proved any science behind. You have a right right, but he was easily authored books for real. Yes, yours,
printing manner. He wasn't is publishing manifestoes online. Any was a young consumers
Coralie minded investigator yet. But if you re like his writing, it was just nothing but conjecture church, nothing. There is nothing in it, but conjecture both ended, as fact and even says like these are. There are three basic proven facts about this and then here's more facts- and it's like these- are in fact at all
is really fascinating stuff. Maybe he doesn't know what facts are. So he got these letters and in these letters at first they were some attacks on him.
My from Alan saying you not talking about.
You're, getting this unified field. Theory all wrong, and I know because Einstein spent several weeks with me
eating the stuff himself here and not only that sounds like cuckoo pot rights. Crackpot right
he was saying like. I can prove that that unified field theory has been mastered by describing this experiment that took place in Philadelphia. Nineteen, forty three concerning one: U S, destroyer called the
U S s! Eldridge! Yes, and he said I know this because I was there buddy. I was on a ship in the harbor and there were other ships in the harbor. That seems to be the only part. That's true yeah. I mean this is a place where a ship.
Outfitted air. The issue of the summer and far here is the war at right.
But he claimed that he was on one of these ships. He said I witnessed this in person
I saw this green below. I saw this thing disappear. None
that he did it some bank. He could see the field there was created by this, the sum
There are many other grinned AMOS stuck his arm into it. He was that cliffs slough of movies write stuff of ninety navies.
Yeah, so he sends his letters and isn't like fifty of the injustice
said you know it. Let me invest
this a little bit because I'm a crackpot to get where you're coming from you. So
Destruction and the right of I thank you for these.
Let me look into this a little bit in. He basically gave up because the dude could produce he gasped and for some evidence
Name's anything I had nothing, he didn't. He just said because the story and its fact- and he goes
Carlos Andy who by then, I think it dropped a pseudonym right Carlisle and who knows, he might call himself big bird
That point so he was in he was a very disturbed man, yeah, I'm Joe,
but yet he he had mental problem. He did. But if you, if you research him and you research, even sceptics have the filter. Experiment like the stuff he was coming up with was really interesting. Stuff yeah he's good, look good writer, but he was
huge confabulate, voucher. So he's saying all this is in fact an hee hee hee thing
I don't know what the data on other people's names or anything like that, but perhaps, if I were put under narco hypnosis
I would remember other stuff, so you
any drugs, and about this time, Jessup said them with
three he had actually moved on, because apparently the government had directly addressed UFO rumours and no just didn't do that. I'm sorry! Another guy did felt who is interested in researching I Andy, but I'm sure Jessica's, like I gotta, get back to my serious,
he had any of he did, but then something truly bizarre happened and this did happen. He got an knock on the door and to research.
From the Office of Naval research who would have
carrying out experiments like this year, Salary- hey, have you ever heard of a guy
Karla Sandy and you probably could have picked empty just above the floor,
I would imagine so because I mean he's like it's all Julia and he said come in come in. Please have some tea at some opiates
it was nineteen. Fifty seven at this point
they said. You know what we gotta package a year ago and had a copy of your book, my friend the EU efforts
and I was beginning to you if he was agitated
very heavily by three people well by by three sets of ink and three types of handwriting by which were all clear?
early from Karl Alan while they were two m cage Ecevit corresponded with Carlisle and for well over fifty letters right,
he said: I'm not fooled. This guide, Jimmy J, am I who may have been an ailing, its Carl, Alan and Mister Eyre, Mister B or both Carl Island. There, all Carlisle and bite, regard
as to whether they were all one dude, the annotations at fascinated, these two Navy researchers enough that they are supposedly as far as the Office of Naval Research officially says they took it upon themselves and paid out of their own pockets, and I guess, took vacation time to go, find em k, Jessup yeah I haven't found. I saw a bunch of conflicting reports on that
whether or not- and this is what conspiracy theory so point do then either it was official business or they did it on their own right either way. They say that that means something, and I
explained away, as it was just something on their list that they eventually had to get to. That seems like a terrible explanation. I think this sounds like a real wrinkled historic, whether purposefully or it's just something that can't be
easily explained away- maybe it is, it was just these guys were really interested in, as maybe they were in the U S, first stuff, for whatever men it doesnt matter. The fact that those two guys showed up gives this thing legs for miles. You know I'd just awesome. Let that happen, because that has kept this thing alive.
In part. Yet in the box came to them. I marked happy Easter, which sounds kind of funny
and had weird punctuation and capitals
all the marks of a madman bright by again, like the stuff he was saying was. Is it was his curiosity arising in these guys and they actually took and against supposedly paid for their own pocket? The annotated version of the case for you, efforts and published it with innovations they had a contractor, a military contractor called Vero technology. They think
and I M had then publish it would yet weird, especially if they are doing it on their own pocket. But of a hundred and twenty seven copies. Imagine didn't Cosette my I saw twenty five, even when they were like spiral bound, those any. I fancy. I read a lot of this and it some it's. You know it's like it's really out there, but I imagine if Europe is your phone Theseus, it might interest you I mean if you read more,
just some stuff, it's out there too, well, meaning that with the invitation for Southern did, he ask can take get. The impression that I was hardly sandy. Stuff is even more out
they are here. You get online its honour, there's pdf of it. If you wanna of Vera, why I bet supposedly there's a lot of forged copies, is well really can circulation. Yeah yeah. I have the same real powered. Someone take the time to forge a copy of the crackpot manifesto,
I think we must have already. I found myself so I'm just
story ends just a couple of years later. He was down on his luck in you, get injured really badly in a car accident at a bad break up with his wife and he killed himself. He put a hose from US
sauce into his window, and this is one of the other reasons that conspiracy theory.
The time there's a suicide. Then there's the governments involved its prey.
Easy to say he didn't kill himself. The government killed them right is made all the more specific suspicious, though, because a supposedly he that was the day that he was to meet a friend who he had said. He had told I've made a breakthrough in the failure of experiment case here and then all of a sudden
the debt of a suicide near so that I mean that in the end, our guy, showing up at his door, definitely is kept this thing alive. It has.
Supposedly his friends came out, said now. He was deeply depressed and he had talked of suicide in the months before he committed suicide yeah. But then I'm sure conspiracy theories to say they paid them off land. Because people said you can. Let me
Am I gonna do what I said and the Eldridge had a pretty
it didn't go into like great things. It was sold to Greece or transfer degrees,
in the ages Leon used and exercises an insult for scrap metal, Nike nineties. So no big deal with about right,
bags. So I will take another one break here and will come back and we'll talk about what really happened in the Philadelphia shipyard that day
here's. The thing
saving money with Geico was almost better than playing pick up basketball because there's always that guy
joint. Your game.
Ever passes the rock he constantly
rex theories and who completely happy when
put his hands up and say no foul. No foul with Geico it's easy to switch
save on car insurance. No need
Fagin Ankle sprain because you're absolutely exhausted. So
which, in save with Geiger it's almost better than sports
what really happened? Just nothing,
supposedly were really happen. Apparently, on that day in the naval shipyard,
see their July or October by July. I think, is the one that people typically if they just think it was a
They think, rather than to separate experiments, it usually July that they point to which they didn't this article to get on that particular day. The
U S, Eldridge wasn't even in Philadelphia. Yet this is the
I don't understand it was in Brooklyn near so. Here's the thing, this debt that revelation came out and ninety ninety nine we'll get to that in a minute. Prior to this there is a researcher he's an astrophysicist, a new followed. The same jack
Jacques Valet. He was actually the inspiration for the you follow just Frenchmen character. In close, it comes at a third kind yet, and he was also like a venture capitalists, pretty sharp dude. He D had some unusual interests right, yes, but one of the things that he dedicated himself too was disproving the Philadelphia experiment, proving that it was hoped to escape the great
Yes, in some manner, he was a sceptic here, so he wrote a paper and arm in the paper. He invited people too to reach out to him if they had further information about the failure of experiment and as a result, allegedly he was contacted.
In eighteen, ninety, four by a guy named Edward Dudgeon or Dudgeon Dudgeon, so little for more pleasant, indulge in a better friend called him. The dungeon yeah that neither so loud.
So yeah, he responded. The paper was called anatomy of a hoax colon, the Philadelphia experiment. Fifty years
or in the Journal of scientific exploration.
Dudgeon got in touch and said you know. I was in the navy from forty two to forty five was on that boat.
Am. I can explain what happened, which is pretty exciting
here is that he was on the angstrom, which was there at the same.
Oh, I thought he was on the actual boat. Now he was an electrician on Angstrom guy. He said he was fully aware of all the electrical components on
strong and on the elder, Jack assail Party together sharing
Equally, there were directly comes here. Comes up later, so he
we say heap. He base. We had a pat incompletely centre,
and reasonable answer for every single part of the Philadelphia experiment. For example, part of the Philadelphia experiment legend is that a brawl broke out in a bar following
experiment and two of the sailors on board. The Eldridge suddenly disappeared. They vanish yes well do Jean Valjean says I was one of those guys. I Action
faked my age on my Elizabeth page paper. So I was under age and should be at a bar in the bar though the bartender took
on me and another under age student, shoot us out the back door and then pretended that she'd never seen us so they disappeared. They disappeared exactly at the backdoor another one. He says a lot. He explained the whole thing basically right again,
There is no experiment like that, but they were doing something that might seem freaky to the uninitiated in those de gassing there that the ships, yet the time
Germany, and I guess everyone else really in the name and the Navy's around the world. They had magnetic
mine, see mines which would find your boat and you know
who that's metal lemme go stick on that thing and blow up here and torpedoes that were magnetic seeking to yeah. They thought you know it lets come up.
The way to make our ship poles,
our mental parts non magnetic to these two. These obstacles right, which is an established project I guess, earned establish. What's the word, I'm looking for process sure so closely project was a real thing, yet it's called de gassing and it basically either changes or gets rid of their magnetism.
Something that was formerly magnetic like a ship, so it doesn't make it invisible know it. The radar or otherwise by it probably looks pretty weird right, so they rap the ships in hundreds and hundreds of metres of tape,
and then ran a really high voltage electrical charge through it and supposed to leave. This would de magnetize the ships
which really came in hand it, because at the time just outside of America's coastal waters was called the graveyard of the Atlantic,
German, you both were running the show out there at this time yet and as we learn
did Nazis invade Florida? They sometimes were parked right off the coats, exactly
so they were taken out or destroyers inner cruisers and our battleships. So this is this is a big deal to be able to do that kind of thing, although it in it was classified stuff
experimentation in anything that has been proven before it was like every British de magnetizing, our battleship.
Yeah they could had a big sign up said de gassing at work stand back. Yet there was no big supersecret thing right, but if you're Nazi don't read the sign
the other thing that dudgeon addressed to us, that the concept that the Eldridge disappeared from the Philadelphia shipyard reappeared in Norfolk, an reappear back in Philadelphia. Well that happen, but it just went there and then came back right, but it didn't happen in light
five minutes or ten minutes and thirty seconds. But again he points out like if you are really, if you're just casually paying attention, you might have seen the the Eldridge in Philadelphia that night
then noticed it was missing late at night and they notice it was back in the morning year, which would seem impossible, because that was supposedly a two day trip yeah
is, including their back get round. Trip was two days up the up the coast, but apparently
Navy had a canal that they use. I think the Delaware just pick canal that only the military could use and they can make their round trip and six hours he answered, in other words its easily explainable that it just simply, I keep once they sailed, but it's not sailing. I think they still call it that did it set sail much about it shipped out and took off ship back
in the regular amount of time, and it just became part of the lure near, and I mean you can even tack on a few hours there, apparently nor focus wherein they where they outfitted it with with the explosives and apparently they could loaded a battleship and for our here so even taken out
count it still ten hours if it shipped out at eleven p M, which is what the Deuce says right did. Did you or doesn't he
He says it shipped out of eleven? It still be backed by nine. I am so again if you just casually paying attention what seems pretty mysterious really took on legs over time, especially like a game telephone like any conspiracy theory sure, maybe there's recur
the truth. It got exaggerated by some drunken sailors and then Bam get shrunk, bounded ten seconds through Teleport
an experiment. Well any sailors, the drunken sailors supposedly could have been overheard saying things like you. Another gonna make a ship disappear, the enemy
invisible when in fact
they were saying is they're going to make it more or less
visible to these mines, got all twisted around,
it wasn't literally invisible yeah, and so there were apparently tons of firm merchant
seamen around the area as well. Yes, so again, this would have been classified stuff if there had been loosely lips which think ship they do
In summary, it said like we're, gonna make it invisible. Like you said they were picked up on that
be they were the ones who were this casually paying attention to the to the Eldridge. Here there and just seemed disappeared reappear.
And there's a guy named Robert Gorman, and he
in nineteen eighty faint magazine article wrote about tracking down Carlos Andy Use from the same hometown.
Not that he would already knew the guy's father. He just didn't realize that he was Carlos Andy's Father Carl Alan Father, your old man, Alan son, we're pretty nice and he managed to
the family in a pretty good picture. The guy, but one of the things that he found was Karl Alan's merchant seamen papers. Yet so it's entirely possible. He was there
on the time or if he wasn't there at the time he may have been
may have known somebody who was there at the time I could totally cm.
That's probably how we get the idea that took it up right. Ok, I believe all that yeah
all of this land squarely on the desk of Karl Alan, because no one, no one talked about the Philadelphia experimental. It was never. Those words were never put together until he his first letter to Morris, Jessup right
Here's to have been the elderly fabricated by him, yeah and dumb after the movie came out. People started coming out of the woodwork this guy,
including a dude name. Alfred biologic, is website. Oh yeah he's me something else
He made a video called the Philadelphia experiment, part one crossroads of history and he claimed
He was a physicist on board the Eldridge and he was part of that
and not only that he says
time travelled in nineteen forty
We all the way to nineteen. Eighty three during the experiment to tell his story. The sun's Ex greenly close to the plot of the fish
experiment movie and ensure there is a little different in the move,
He travels from nineteen forty three tonight in a four who always region like this is a fascinating website, but he put themselves squarely at the centre of the Philadelphia experiment, and he also says that he was part of the Monti
project here with their sorted tied together. Somehow the oil should do that at some point. Somehow debunking things this guy. This guy wrote a book where it is basically made the stuff about a whole cloth near. He says that the book whether you take it is
science factor science fiction you're in for a really great story, even those its briskly loaded with soft facts. This is the author and preface right. Yes, but basically it's this extension that, like the the fiddler fix them
it was wildly successful and from that we learned all sorts of things like getting into extraterrestrials, being able
teleport everywhere, just doing all sorts of really interesting things. Basically anything you can possibly think of that. A conspiracy theories would enjoy crammed into this book and it's it's giving them a bit of.
Gravitas by associating with the failure of experiment in some quarters, man some quarter that definitely gives,
gravitas this green glow has been explained away by most people is maybe an electrical storm or saint almost fire.
And it was just you know, maybe just another part of the story. The people took and ran with it, or maybe it was nothing at all. Ah, yes,
it also could have been the Office of Naval Research put out a fact sheet on what they understand about the failure of experiment, and they said it's possible
origin or the origin of that specifically was experiments with the. U S,
and later on after the war, in the fifties here where they tried to use a small generator that was higher power
then the generator that was currently on board in it actually cause coronal discharge with a glow, get an
said that no was injured. Known was a mess to into the ship. Now it was just a glow was created, which is what you would expect from a very strong electrical feel right yeah. So they think, possibly that combined with the DE gassing stuff there doing during world war, two came together and help the sledge and take off by what they say. Also, though,
Emma was supported by the reunion of U S: S, Eldridge Sailors and ninety. Ninety nine is that even the guy who debunked and discredited everything that Karl Sandy said dudgeon he was full of it to guarantee because the U S S Eldridge, wasn't in.
Philadelphia. Then there was in Brooklyn here they got together in Atlantic City, and I read an article in this meeting and they had a good laugh and said that one of them and even has something about on his license plate to so people like ask him about it and if you haven't said they would put people's legs and say like. Oh, no, I disappeared, in my hand, was caught in the ship and then they would say
None of this happened, but they said that there was in Brooklyn in the ship's log confirms that so am I
I wasn't even in that shipyard that day at all right. So that's that's the only part round. Michael wait a minute: how could they completely invent that it was even in the shipyard? Why would they just use a ship that was there?
because then I never gave it a little more credence if those at least a ship there, but that's what I'm saying like
Carl Alan. He made up his saddle,
he was the one you just came up with it from the beginning yeah, but Canada
it seems a little weird that you didn't.
At all, about making it believable by picking a boat that was actually there was something he may have been there at the time.
He may have known that the Eldridge was there and just fudged the date, because it can remember, because this is like twelve years later for thirteen years after the fact remains that memory right
So maybe he just got the date wrong. Anything really did happen and then the owner would be like our bad experience. We tell imported arousing, please just get the day on, so we ve mentioned quite a few things here that why this
his lived on through the years there that Jacques Valet Theorize is that
You know any time you have a movie made about it or any kind of imagery
It's a photo. The Loch Ness monster to follow the man talk monster people are gonna, have something physical. The point do and say: look I made this movie and that's when people started coming out
work was after the movie saying oh yeah. I was there. I remember that now, Michael Parade just reminded me as thing that happened. He also has my fate.
On his website is there he met the purse.
That he later realized was the actor Mark Hamel in Hawaii nineteen, fifty six, but more camel would have been five at the time. Did you see his little myself it? I dont. Have you eat
he's a full grown adult interesting, what else the and the fact that it stood the federal government, of course, in the in the military. You know people gonna run with that stuff, which I mean that
Military fault- I remember oh yeah sure they did secured experiments, still do tons of back and ninety ninety three some stuff that got declassified and really open people's eyes.
The fact that the government in the military
spare minute I'm on
informed and unwavering subjects, that's it in that in its ranks, but also in the general public. So yeah, it's totally.
The idea that the military would do this with its own people on board, yet let's believable, probably the most believable part of the whole thing
the greed and also just dumb, though Auburn
Einstein in their throw in a secret scientific theories that have been proven and it's just a ripe for the pic and yet when it comes to conspiracies and the suicide of Course
Look we mentioned earlier that definitely doesn't help. It did not help the case any, but this is one that I have a hard time finding people that still believe this ah yeah, I think a lot of people. I kid are unaware of it. Even except for the movie. You know what else healthy kit legs. There is a book in nineteen, seventy nine and it was called the Philadelphia experiment, Colin Project invisibility, and it was reprinted in in excerpts in papers around the country as as fact, Ryan fiction in nineteen. Seventy nine does not help, doesn't help things. You know I personally,
with our conspiracy theories. At this hour I enjoy reading the stuff. I think it's fun and funny and interesting on up there aren't any that I really believe in, but am I do think it's funny when people get up all upon their hackles and right in that you know, that's been admitted as one of the stuff in its you know, you don't know, could any real. Well, that's the earthly Menem, I'm glad you both because they're like that, just being like knows he's not pass black stupid.
Thinking stuff like that, it's like now, this is at the very least people using their imaginations.
Deciding in ways that I dont typically do so it is nice to come, can visit it and check it out and read it in a year, although I claim to have seen a ghost. So what do I know exactly, although I have to say probably the best excuse against this? There are two things to say just on its face. This isn't right one. This happened seventy years ago. If the military successfully transported battleship, we would know about teleportation bye, bye. Now they be doing it all over the place. Zactly. The second thing was a quote from Robert Gorman
I who tracked down car island in that nineteen. Eighty fate magazine article he wrote if we are to believe Carl Alan are Naval Hierarchy, abandoned sanity and historical precedent by conducting in
chairman of enormous importance in broad daylight, using a badly needed destroyer escort vessel think that kind of sums it up nicely agreed but go forth and read about the Philadelphia experiment cause. It is interesting, stuff watch the movie apply, not Netflix knows only too. I think he looks at me
yeah. I can't believe aid through it. I did I'm telling you like I mean I was working too. I had two like windows open by their. There was fine, that's fine! It's believable was tron, that's judges
you see if you want to know more about the failure of the experiment, you have anything else right now, so you can take those words in his search bar how stuff works since Chuck said trot.
The time for listener mail,
All this email from up and coming, I cast her in Georgia folder he s
Bailey a junior mass media, arts and theatre student ghetto. Eugene dogs Woodworth
my professional identity aside and also a long time with your mother. You guys, I listened to my first episode on the bus home from seventh grade
well the creditors, epsilon brainwashing she's in college,
I mainly within the hours and working on my on campus job bus driving. Did you ever take the buses in Athens this through the bus
I also crippled with social anxiety that if I can find a parking space out, the skiff class, because I didn't want to get on the bus yet such means- I really
like didn't, want to get to know anyone or you just I just couldn't bear being around peers at that age. The buses were always old, scary cuz. It was like here's a
forty foot long bus Volvo students, industry in Europe as a tiered mitya, vary from me for different reasons. But I can imagine a scary for that reason. I took em if you don't
mainly what was it.
Driving, so my passengers have the honour of listening to you as well. I guess you place out loud. That is nice at the party by experts,
the other day, I was driving, realises my destiny to produce a host of Pakistan on campus. I wouldn't know
everything like that's all I'm excited about it. My ideas to have me and another host be constant.
The show and every week bring in a different ujiji, professor or Athens professional for general awesome person talk about the one thing in their field, fascinates them the most for about. Thirty minutes include informal conversation between the three of us about a topic, highly inspired by all
banter anyway, because you guys are my muses. I would want to ask the any advice for a baby bulldog pastor
as an m M a major I feel like I have the basic knowledge and resources for the technical side, but as far as what makes a good absurdum feeling pretty
What is your environment like? How much do you prepare for the actual script? You have a specific formula for every episode, I'm fascinated and that is Bailey Johnson got any advice. I will give you the same adviser. Give anybody starting out in Podcasting Bailey get good MIKE. It's worth the expenditure
I'm good and they probably have a monkey atheism imagining here. Let me know if you can fanatical Urania studio with good might yet you are you have few at every need to do to get that done.
LISA, reliable schedule that those are the two peace to begin. I mean, like
as long as you're releasing on a reliable schedule, people will come to appreciate
yeah, and now my vice Suarez Scripting goes is you know. We said the civilian times on different interviews, but we don't scripts stuff out and we don't go for stuff with each other. We does your own research and try and have as natural a conversation is possible, which I think is help our show out this not to say that
You need to do that, but I think being relate a ball and
Conversational helps rather than feeling like you're being read the script
I know a lot of people that would be as into that, so my advice would be try to make conversational. You know maybe go over with whoever your co hostess, some adverse she's, a theatre. Major right here should be pretty good at supper, ready, so yeah, I'm sure scared at living, probably
finds comfort in the idea of a script. I don't use anything wrong with starting outright net, but if it doesn't feel writer you're, not getting good feedback and Ivan try cry something: oh yeah, my MIKE, I guess I would say maybe try like instead of scripture. I, like an outline,
that. You share with each other the poor man scripts. So you got a road map ahead of you and we cannot just we ve been doing this for so long. We don't need that. We don't even know,
We have our own road map that we share our brainwaves. Yes, those that to the White House.
It's not written down. Thousands. Sixteen
Those are our points of advice. We don't have a specific formula. We destroy to talk about things that we find it interesting that I think that
key to men yet be into what your own topical that'll, show for sure yeah, although we
so found that, like just about everything, is interesting. If you take hard enough, every during his story
so something that really boring. You maybe abandoned it, but you can also try digging harder agreed so
the bug, Bailey Sinister link when that's up and well I plug it for you
and it's it's your doing. An interview show your goal should be with each of you to make that person cry
you, know, Bailey Ali I'll, even beyond your show, if you want
wow
yeah I'll. Do that
get it up and running, and you need somebody I'd be happy to sit in one or two things that I don't like you, but much easier
Ok, we'll sit Bailey he's laid out before you can touch
are a daily good luck. Glass of seventeen, it's great who started listening. Is everything gets me if you want to get in touch with a shocker? I took her me after me. Here you can t to us it s. Why escape? I guess you can join us on Facebook that complex that we should now.
The city melted stuff. I guess the house the first I come and is always join us at our home on the web stuff. You should go
