S405 - Mobile network outage conspiracy.

0:03 Ah, yes, Welcome to the Kentucky X Files Season four. Young Masters. Dennis Mays, Just Gibbs, and Tyler Stewart are expecting you. If you will follow me to the fire and on your way, subscribe to our YouTube channel, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. Also visit us at www dot ky x files dot com. I now leave you to the Young Masters. I was like, I really feel like you boys will appreciate some of these riffs, you know, And he's like like, dude, I'm like yeah, yeah. I was like, you just got to go easy on us, you know, and help us load in and stuff, because you know we're we're senior citizens. Yeah, that's the worst part now, you know. It was I was in my twenties rolling in a full stack like mine and the other guitar players and then you know, a name Big

1:33 fourteen and then all that, you know, sixteen piece drum set and a big deal, you know. But now it's like, yeah, the ship's heavy. Cat's best friend Vicky she goes that needs to just make you feel old. I'm like, yes, it does, and she's like she's like, yeah, that was you. That was what you did, you know, And I was like, yeah, I was like, fucking I was a Cage's sister was there and she's like, why do you feel old? You're not old all this. I'm like, well, you see all that stuff that they got up on stage there, She's like yeah, I'm like, see that's a young man's game. That's a younger man's game right there. Loading loading all that stuff in is where that would be right about where.

2:17 I'm like, I fucking I feel it. Yeah, yeah, that's that's where. And if you're like hosting the show and you're bringing the PA, that's of course. Oh yeah, that's what I'm looking at in this room right here. It's like you might as well tell me I got to sell my house and move, you know, if I've got to empty this room. It's the you know at that point, you know what I mean, go to do the show and you just never come back. I just live I live here now, guys, I'll just buy new ship haven't delivered to the house. You to hire a local moving company just to put your ship in and out of your house into the show. Yeah, it's like I'll pay extra if you just you just stay there or come back later and then pick the shit up. Yeah. I had a questionable ethic back then when it came to the live thing too. Like I loved playing live, I just hated the load in and load out. Yeah, so you would know as I went, man, my my setups got more and more simple, you know, and I just I started cutting out stuff and you know, Okay. So the other thing too, is like you start realizing why some of the older cats that would play like the Blue shows would show up with a Fender twin combo. Yeah did you do that? I just did?

3:44 Yeah did he freeze? I don't know. It sure looks like a froze. It looks like it. But yeah, you know, it's like you understand why those guys are like because it was easier, you know, a super super light Fender Stratocaster one single chord in a one twelve combo, and they're like, make the PA do the work. They're way ahead of the fucking yeah yeah you know, because yeah, man, it was a good time. I wish very happy. I wish I would knew ahead of time. Man, I would have loved to go to a show that wasn't you know, yeah, a national act I haven't been to. I haven't been to a show in a while. I know one of the one of the guests write he wrote a letter onto the show is also a musician and he's been after me about trying to get on and uh come to a show.

4:40 And it's like every time he plans the show is something has happened. Then there's amazing when I can't go. Wow, he's even froze coming back in. This feels weird having me at the top there he is. You seem shorter now, but never mind w B. Yeah, yeah, now that was a good time, man, I had I had a blast. I'm really proud of of Gage and seeing his band play again. Drummers out there, I know, I know you're out there. I know you want to join a band that that they're not fucking around, They're ready. You need to you need to get a hold of me. You need to you know, you know the email address email the show leaved comment something like that, let me know and I'll put you in touch. Yeah, hopefully you can play fast, because these guys are fucking fast. Yeah, it was pretty fucking awesome. That would be interesting to have us up there as a polar opposite band because we don't play fast. Yeah it would, uh I know. Okay, So during during all the fast stuff at the show that it was like the the marsh Pitt would go go wild, you know, but the breakdown stuff when it would go halftime, people win nuts and it was it was awesome. I was I was enjoying. That's awesome, man.

6:05 Yeah, fucking yeah. One of these days we'll have to see what it looks like from the stage. Yeah. It's been a while, yeah for sure. So I wanted to tell you guys about something that happened to me. I was removed from another big foot group on Facebook. I can't remember the name of the group now because once it came out, I was like, yeah, way, it must have been a glitch. Yeah it was. I feel like it was a misunderstanding because somebody said something along the lines of like how many how many people believe in bigfoot? And have you ever seen one? And then there was like three hundred comments on it, right every and everybody's seen one? And I was like, I commented on was like, wow, look at look at all these people that spotted him.

7:01 I was like, it's I guess he's not that rare after all, because I mean, everybody's seen him, right. It was like twenty minutes later I saw that I was removed from the group. I'm like, oh, really, Like, come on man, It's like I just pointed out an observation. It's not like I even got on there and said anything, you know, hateful towards the community. I just said, like, there's three hundred people commenting here and they've all seen him, so he can't be that rare, right, fucking weird? Yeah, right, It's kind of one of those things. That's the thing about those bigfoot groups is there's thousands of members and everybody's seen him. Yeah, nobody's got a picture. Though.

7:58 It's a tough tup break there, right, He's just that good at dodging that ship. Yeah. I feel like we've gotten into this so uh, this topic so many times. I feel like this is like like the basis of the show was the Big Guy, But after spending multiple years listening at this, like it has like we all came into this on the fence, like we had real, like gout like core beliefs that like it could happen, It could happen. I've seen We've seen stranger shit out there.

8:45 But now it's starting to say, is this a true like true? Like yeah, the only way it could be now to me personally, this is how I feel over the years, I'm certain to fell over the years, is that it has to be something more like I guess you would say spiritual. And I don't know if I believe in that that much. Yeah, I don't know. To me, like, think about like all the ship the shade there is to me, it's like, you know, think about all the ship you see out of the corner of your eye that isn't there. You know, it could will be psychological. You're out in the woods, there's nothing around you for miles, you know. Yeah, And let's face it, anybody that's actually spend any time in the woods knows that, like even the smallest creature can sound like a horse. Yeah. Squirrels, Yeah, they sound like a stampede coming through. Yeah, squirrels sound huge, you know, deer running sound like much larger animals. Yeah, even like straight cats if they're in a leaf bed, you know, are gonna sound bigger, you know. I mean, it's just I don't know.

10:00 It's people are going to believe what they want to believe. People are going to say what they've done. Yeah, and if you try to contradict whatever they're saying with any questioning, then they get upset. And as soon as they get upset, I immediately know that this is an emotional response. Yeah, not so much a factual response. Yeah, because you start going in from the from the realm of probability into the realm of possibility. Yeah, and probability very very low possibility. Anything's fucking possible. But is it probable? Yeah? Can the world produce an upright ape like that? Probably?

10:46 It probably can. Is it possible to have an ecosystem that can sustain a population of that big of an ape, It's doubtful. Yeah, there isn't even that many gorillas in the wild, and that's a big ape. That's a valid point. What is like the silverback population worldwide? I couldn't tell you. Often I'm looking it up because you know that's what I do. Yeah, I know it can't be crazy, but I'm sure it's reasonable within the amount of calories out there, you know what I mean. And then too, you know, we had the poaching thing for a while with the silver back, so I'm sure that's still going on. You're looking at thirteen or three hundred and sixteen thousand Western gorillas and five thousand Eastern gorillas. Yeah, it's not a in the grand scheme of things. It's not a terrible lot, right, considering that you I don't know how to say this without being offensive to those communities, but you're trying to sell the fact. You're trying to sell it as a fact that there's basically millions of these days.

12:00 And it's even worse when you talk about mountain grillas, which would be the big swerback, the one that nobody believed existed. There's a thousand of them and four hundred and sixty of them live in one particular national park in Uganda. Yeah, so you know, and we have pictures of them, Yeah, we have them. People didn't believe in them for eighty years and they finally got pictures and now it's that was the thing. Yeah, Yeah, they were like this thing that don't that doesn't exist, there's no way. And then it's like, well, we got all these we got this film of them, we got this picture of them, and it's clear as day. Yeah, so it's it's one of them things. Yet, I you know, I'm not trying to hijack this into a into a Bigfoot episode by any means, I feel like the subject's got enough attention, and it's it is a frustrating topic for me now because I did. I went into the topic when we started this very even keelery, like, all right, let's let's find some patterns. I found one weird pattern over a course of like twelve years, and often the most disappointing explanation will be what's going on?

13:16 And the thing that got me was that there was a giant fact that was left out of my explanation, that wasn't done intentionally. But when I went back and I went over the information again, it went like this, I'm reading these patterns. I'm reading these sightings on a public website that anybody can submit a siding too, So anyone can go in there and say, well, i'm gonna I'm gonna make a siding similar to this one. I'm going to create one, and then a guy like me along and I put together that, well, this one is a reoccurring, this one happens every so often. Maybe, But the most probable explanation is that someone put those in because the submission itself is not date stamped. They manually enter in the date that they alleged that this happened, and they don't vet this at all.

14:22 They don't vet it, Yeah, because there's not there. Like I'm not saying like that organization doesn't have like the means to have somebody go out and investigate right off that off the rip. Yeah, just just to make sure that they're telling the truth and it, like you said, if it was manually put in, this could be an old story that was passed down from people. So how could you actually make sure it recording the same story but someone had told them a different time period. Yeah, I'm not saying it's completely nefarious. I'm just saying that it's Yeah, the element is added to it. It's it starts to get a little wobbly, and without that, there's no control factor to that experiment, so it's it's void. I always I always put it at this is like telephone, that game that you played in school. That's how I always like, somebody tells one story and then it goes like all I saw Bigfoot and then nix. You know, it goes all around Bigfoot's flying flying saucers through the center of the world. That's how we got to hear like, well, that's where they live, in the center of the earth. Silly, silly goose. Of course Bigfoot's coming out of the middle of the planet wherever where a bunch of stuff lives.

15:52 Yeah, you know what I mean. I don't know, man, I don't know that that whole that whole thing. And then when they remove you from a group because you have a polar opposite, you know, approach, And my whole thing was like not really like to point it out and just to put them on the spot. It was more of a like perspective thing, like, hey man, there's thousands of you trying to tell me this is a rare like once in a lifetime sighting, and there's thousands of you that seen it allegedly, right, So it can't be both. Yeah, and you think you take take just a law of averages of one thousand to one odds, that means that nine and ninety nine of those people are lying through their fucking teeth if you apply that, Yeah, again, they're gonna twist us around and be like you call those fucking liars. No, I'm not the odds are i'mbving Maybe they're not lying. They they experienced something that was unexplained to them, and it has nothing to do with big Foot, even if they were telling the truth of their experience, but they just it was something totally different. It's just like that whole the term. I can't remember who we were talking to, but they said him and his boy went out and his boy ran back to the truck because he heard a screech out.

17:18 Now, it was the first time you ever heard heard that before. That was on location, Mike, and it was and his dad and he was so yeah, like that like that's the type like, that's the type of scenario, Like if you're not used to this, you're going when you're when you're in the unknown, especially in the dark and ship, your mind is going to race and go to the like the worst assumption because now you're in uh fight or flight, and most people will take flight. Yeah, you know you just said that earlier. He said time that you'd almost be willing to lean towards a spiritual type thing of you know, and that's like if anybody listens to show, that's like the one topic that I usually don't I don't really weigh in on, is that whole thing that the afterlife, spiritual stuff, all that stuff. In my core belief is that this is a science that we don't understand yet. I don't really think it's metaphysical, you know what I mean. I feel like there's a science there to this that if there's a such things as a persisting human consciousness, which there there have been interesting things that have happened with that subject. I believe that it's a natural part of science and physics, you know, because at this point

18:52 in physics we know that there's there's fourth dimensions, fifth dimensions, sixth dimensions, you know, and we even have probability and equations. They can they can prove these now, which to me, that's the math. That's that's the that's showing your work, you know what I mean, Like, that's that's not just saying like, oh, dude, there's a portal in the middle of the Earth and that's where Bigfoot comes out of with this UFO. No, that's we have this math. We have this math, and we have a missing spot here in the middle, and the universe doesn't usually do that. So we start working out the math, how how does this fit this other dimension in here, and even getting you know, getting on and listening to some of the big you know, there's some of the famous scientists out there, you know, sit there and talk about, uh, well, fourth dimensional beings could technically interact with everything here, but we don't have the organs, We don't have the sensory organs to perceive fourth dimensional So it's not like it's not like I can make believe thing. It's just that we're living firmly in the third dimensional world. So we've evolved to be in the third dimensional world. It's not that it's not there, it's that we're just not the right model to see it, to experience it. If seeing it is even how you perceive it, we don't even know. For all we

20:22 know, our brains don't know how to think outside of the third dimensional world, you know, so they have to rely on mathematics. And then when it comes to the spiritual, you know, the spiritual side. I look at it like this, Hey, we got two big things here. We have how to perceive the fourth dimension and up and we have all this paranormal stuff. And my brain goes, don't those kind of follow the same, you know rules. You can't really understand it, you can't really see it. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. You know, so for me, if you said, like, well, maybe the bigfoot thing is a maybe it's a spiritual thing. What about a fourth dimensional primate that's that big and it's evolved upright, and it exists in the world just like everything else, It just doesn't exist on our level of it. It doesn't exist in our third dimensional and every now and again maybe you get a glimpse. I don't know, but the who the fuck is ever going to figure that out?

21:30 Yeah, that's that's kind of my problem is who's going to figure it out? Who would be like, oh, dude, I have I have all these computers that are designed to analyze the fourth dimensional world. Now you don't. We don't even know how to build that shit. We don't even know how to conceive of that, you know. So it's like this gigantic void of the unknown that to me is infinitely more interesting than you know, the dog man. Yeah, you know what I mean. Like, I'm like, dude, there's a whole world in physics that's like it's right there, ready to explain a lot of shit, and it just they just can't yet. We're just not there. No, we know that dark matter is a thing, we know that dark energy is a thing. Now we know that antimatter is a thing. We know there's a god particle, we know that all atoms are quantized. Like, that shit is mind blowing to me.

22:34 How the hell was every single atom in the universe program to do what it does? Yeah? I taught to you guys about this a long time ago, right, the fine tuning theory. That shit is mind fucking blowing to me because the only thing we know of in nature that fine tunes anything is us. So basically it's like, okay, you know, I think I told you guys about the one theories I was reading about right where they kept running the math of like a quantized universe basically like our universe, And no matter how many universes you stacked up, the quantized universe was the rare one, like the actual like quantized universe where matter binds and atoms are programmed to do what they do. The normal, like what do you call it?

23:32 The regular result is an unquantized universe, basically like an anti matter universe where we couldn't even exist there. We would just like come apart because our atoms would no longer be quantized anymore. The matter would just fall fall back to its basic you know whatever, and just be floating. So I'm like, dude, this ship. There's a lot of shit out there that's infinitely more mysterious and extravagant, and I do believe that in the end, physics will will figure out all of this shit. You know. But I don't know when you said that earlier about a spiritual thing that that made me think of that. I don't think that spirituality and science is two different things.

24:15 I think that there are two different fields that approach it different ways. But I do believe that science will be what figures it out, you know. I was just going on along the lines, is that we can't I want to say, from our standpoint, like well mine at least, I just can't see it being a truly physical being like like a dog or any animal that you can physically touch and see. There has to be an outside. It won't be a third dimensional being. Yeah, that's kind of like where I was going because I even said the whole spiritual thing. I don't know if I could get on board fully with that either, but I'm willing to take the time to hear hear people's views on that and where they're where they come with their conclusions on on that said topic, because I just can't from now, like the flesh and blood type of thing, I just don't know if I can believe it anymore after seeing seeing all this. What about what about the alien thing? I see your tag there, aliens aren't cool anymore?

25:27 What about that? Do you think that? Do you think that they're I'm waiting here on the button. What about that? I mean, there's people that believe that that aliens are they're not flying here from other planets, you know, across the galaxy. They they figured out a way to navigate dimensions. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. People. You know, we had the one remember that one asteroid that that floated through the Solar system, you know, Jason, Jason and yeah, Mimosasa and uh it slows down at the Sun and then takes the right turn and leaves and you got us here. We're basically we're basically the primates in the woods going, that's probably a rock. That's a rock. There's no way you capin, bro, Yeah you capn no cap no cap still feels weird. To say it. I don't know, just stop. It's like, bet, I really feel like we lost a lot of like listeners on that one. So like, if they're starting to use this this link, dude that's out there liked this episode's busting. We're down to twelve hundred subs. This is hey.

26:52 He's like going around his his work. He's like, I low key love X files. I would I would unsubscribe for that one. But what I'm saying that that's the guy. The people who invented those are going to be representing the science community eventually. Yeah. No, the people that those people picked on in high school are the ones that are gonna be doing it. I hope. So I really do. I really hope. So please God, Well, I want to like do a tiny segu here, like just to I saw him go for it. Yeah, we need to look a little tiny, one, little miniature. I am baffled. Okay.

27:47 My my niece comes up and tells me. She's like, hey, I'm starting a D and D campaign, and I'm like, Okay, that's that's cool. The school, what do you play? What addition? Like, what do you think give it? What's your character? Your idea? Like what do you what do you want to play? And she's doing like talking about yeah, and I got another one that I'm going to go to. It's two different campaigns. It's like this is awesome. But I'm like over here and I'm like, why is it cool now to be a nerd to like this stuff I got? I was like, I brought it back, buddy. I was like, I got so like shipped on in like high school and stuff for playing these types of games. Well, I was like, now, like the tables are like it's like all askew now like in high school like nerd stuff, it's awesome. Like all that's is cool.

28:44 It's nostalgia in a way for like yea, these kids are nostalgic for ship that they've never been around. Yeah, that's what I was about. It's retro. They load the retro and I'm like, this is not retro to me, Hey man, this because my daughter D and D. I did it when I was younger. Right, Uh, I'm sure my my D and D campaigns with my buddies was probably a lot different than what there's Ours. Was a big ass mixing goal full of cigarettes, like we'd open them and dump them in, right, and then you just had a community, you know where you could just grab a smoke, right, food, beer, like it was like it was awesome. It was and there was always metal blasted somewhere. It was just it was badass, right. And it's literally me and a bunch of other dudes with band shirts on, just sitting there rolling the dice, you know, like having this this fun game.

29:37 You know, it gets them in person. They put this ship down and they go and they sit in person and they play together. Satta bring that thing back up again later because we have a seguay into that as well. Yeah, they use yeah, and they use their freaking uh they use their minds for like for a change, like they like actually use their imagination. And I like that. I always I was making the joke too. It's like, I'm like, do you guys make fun of the jocks at your school for playing sports? Like because the tables will turn like they make fun of like back then, they like, do you guys like you play football?

30:29 Nude fifteen of them shoving one guy into a locker. He's a lot bigger, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, she comes home after playing and she's like laughing and telling me about their you know, their story and stuff, and they come up with some crazy ship and I'm just sitting there like this is awesome. Good for that. Yeah, so happy to hear it. I love it. I'm gonna go ahead and say it. I've never even seen a D and D board. That's unfortunate, Josh, because I actually think that you'd be pretty good at it.

31:11 Like I feel like you would be You would be that guy in the group that that probably got everybody in and out of good like situations, because you gotta have that guy in the group that's like, hold up, if this is here, this is here, that we need to do this, and that's usually the guy that saves everybody. So I feel like Josh would probably be pretty good. Yeah, I've never even never even seen one. We don't even have the I never had that. All of our everybody that was in our campaign always like Leroy Jenkins is yeah, right, like always like I remember, uh, this is another Josh. He wanted to do a flying kick. He rolled a one and don't you like okay? He's like okay, you get like you do this awesome like flip cartwheel onto this boulder and then you jump down with a kick, you miss him completely and hit the wall and break you shatter your leg. Yeah. Yeah, that's what rolling ones gets you. Yeah, we don't do none of that reroll ones either. If you roll a one, you live with that. Yeah, you stick with that. Yeah. Our our dungeon Master was pretty hardcore.

32:28 He would pretty much kill your character at any turn and you had to make a new one because that character is dead. And I always love that. I think maybe it's his fault that I like all or nothing aspect games. It might be his fault because I do like that. I like those games where you come up and if you die, you lose everything. I don't know why. Oh I hate myself or something. I don't know. Yeah. If we ever got Josh to play though, and he's not either a boat captain or a wizard, I am not playing because he's got the wizard like he could he could do it and he could sell it, or he could be like a boat captain, like a pirate warrior kind of dude.

33:12 And I would believe that one too. I'd be like, yeah, dude. But if he came in and he was like yeah, I'm gonna be like I'm going to be a known thief, I'd be like because I you know, I mean, I'm playing too. I got to be able to believe it, right, I mean, I'm glad to hear it too. I'm glad to hear the kids are playing D and D and getting together and being stupid. That's what they should be doing. Yeah, fucking telephone cell phone screens have robbed the souls sick. So what do you think it was that knocked out all the phones? I don't know, but I think that the hilarity that ensued on Facebook after was just gold. Yeah, it is just gold, absolute gold. Because one the same people that always post the picture of you know, turning your cell phones turn off the Wi Fi to live in this cab and you know they are always like yeah, I would love to do that, are the same people that are like at and T has been down for three hours, you know, that's one thing. And then the conspiracy, theorious people showed up and they did not disappoint. Yeah, this is a test, guys. Just know this is a test.

34:31 Right. I would love to know. I would love to know what the endgame on that is because I've been thinking very solidly about this for a couple of days since Thursday when it happened, and I started seeing that, and I started just bombarding you guys with screenshots of Yeah, this is a test. This is a test because we live in a capitalist society in our country, right, right, So what good would it be to take the thing we do so much purchasing on, Like there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven things on my home screen that I use to buy shit. At what point does it make sense to disable that?

35:25 Yeah? It doesn't, It doesn't. Yeah, And the people that think that like this was them trying to slowly push us into a communist or socialist society that doesn't benefit the very wealthy right now, because the very wealthy are getting rich on the middle class and the poor as we speak, they're not going to get any richer if we're all poor in a capitalist society, right, it doesn't make any sense. Now. I think they got hacked. Yeah, I think they got I think they got hacked. It was like a like a play game cyber attack, and they didn't want to tell everybody that's what it was. I hope that's what it was, because the official answer, the official answer was that they were trying to update the system and fucked up. Yeah, hardware failure or hardware mishap. I read yeah, which I also believe because I mean, as we go back to season two, fill up the Alien, every company has a moron. Yeah, these things happen absolutely. I remember at one of my stops, the guy that was helping me comes back to get another stack of stuff to take in, and he comes up and he goes, Man, some some old dude just came right up to him and said, it's a fucking Russians. And I

36:57 was dying. I like, yeah, yeah, man, maybe I don't know. Now. I hope it was some some group of assholes just just hacking, you know, just to do it. That's what I hope for, because the alternative is it's not as pretty. No. But that's the thing, though, is that we love a victim, we love an enemy, all right. So okay, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say one of the things that caused a lot of turmoil when Trump was a president, but when Trump was a president was that we didn't have an enemy at the time because he was a lunatic and basically was just like, fuck with us, We'll nuke you yeah, you know, so we focused our hate in instead of out. Sure, that's the thing that made like Bush and Obama do better and have less people coming after him constantly was both of them had an enemy, right, Okay, so if it was an attack, then they would love to push an enemy. You see what I'm saying. Yeah, Like, regardless of who it is, we have to have somebody to hate, right, as a society, we have to have somebody to hate. So to me, I wholeheartedly believe that some dirty motherfucker hit the wrong button, flipped the wrong switch, you know, didn't you know, put the right decimal point in the right spot, didn't think about

38:29 this overheating that and causing this problem the decimal point he didn't carry the decimal I like that bitch. I knew it was gonna fight me in the s. The only reason I kept saying was I would I hope it was just some group of kids hacking, you know, right, just like the kids that that took down all of Sony there for like seven months, remember that. Yeah, they took Sony down, you know. Yeah, but they announced it, you know what I mean, Like they told people that's what happened. So I'm like, if if I know, it's it's not a very h what do you call it, It's not a very good idea if you're a big tech company to admit that you've been hacked, you know what I mean, Like, it's not a good idea. You're like, oh, yeah, we got hacked, and everybody that's got any kind of investment in you is going to go out of that ship. Yeah. But there was a lot of them that did that, you know. Yeah, like Facebook got hacked for a little while. There was a bunch of social media stuff, PayPal, bunch of them, A bunch of them got hacked.

39:27 Because I remember there was like a mean going around about like how porn Hub's security is higher than Facebook, like you know, the porn website. It's more about your security, you know. And I thought that shit was hilarious just because the good people though, they are good people over there, you know what I mean, they're doing good work. They're doing God's work over there. When God's work, but okay, they're doing work. Looking at the current climate of conflict in the the world right now, right if you just take a glimpse at all of the conflicts that are actively going right now, we're not very far off from a global problem. I'll say, I'm not going to sit here in fear monger people, because that's right, a waste of time. But that's the news job. Yeah, But just sitting there and I flip through the news, I listen to some stuff. I want to hear what's going on. And it's like, oh, these two, these two countries. Yeah, you gotta have a paper. If you don't have a paper, it doesn't sell. I got guitar string packs.

40:37 Yeah that'll work anything, anything, really, you just gotta tap it. Then, you know, yeah, too much Russia. Russia and Ukraine are going at it. You got, but who's the other one that's going on? Palestine and Israel? Israel centuries though, right, and you got all this stuff happening and whatnot, and people are saying, you know, look looking at it and saying like, damn, you know, we're actually a lot closer to World War three right now than we have been in years. And then you have the constant fear of Chinese hackers. And I've begun to believe that that that rumor might not be so so far off. If you watch these guys play video games Okay, you get into any video game where it's like a bunch of people and a bunch of Chinese dudes join, it's it's their game. After that, Okay, they're good, They're they're good, and that's a video game, right. I'm just saying, if they want to hack, they're probably gonna do it, right, Yeah, Because that's like I said, that's just a video game, and they fucking they absolutely can kill video games if they want to. And I'm like, man, these guys ever get pissed off where they're like, you know what, motherfucker, are we going to take out your fucking cell phones for a while?

42:06 Right? See what that does to your economy? That's just That's the other thing too, is they really only took out one major carrier. Yeah, Like if they wanted to really you know, do a test, why wouldn't it have been all cell phones across the board? Yeah? That was weird. Uh, there was a lot of people when it happened. There was a lot of people I was talking to that were not even with any of these carriers and their ship was down too. Yeah. So I'm like, what does you know does at and t own all these or like how does this work. You know what I mean? Well, and that's I mean really, there's only what three or four cell phone tower companies out there, and everybody bounces off of them, so like you end up with priority.

43:01 Okay, I can give it a great example. I have two cell phones. One is my personal one, one is my work phone. Right, they both work off for the same towers, but they're from different companies. Okay, I won't name the companies and all that, but I can physically watch if I'm in a desolate area where I do have good phone service but there's not a lot of population, and the bars will kind of follow each other and everything works at the same speed. Like I've done this test where I put them down and I've hit Google and searched the same thing and hit enter at the same time and they work at the same speed. Yeah.

43:42 Then I get into an area that's way more populated, right, say like around the mall or something where there's thousands of people that are using this same carrier, the main carrier, and I can physically watch my phone slow way down. It'll read the same bars, but it'll be like like seconds, like ten seconds slower, if not more. There was a job Yeah, it was a job I was on for a year that if I was at lunch and I wanted to scroll through Marketplace on Facebook, I couldn't do it on the job because it would just be gray blocks instead of pictures because it was throttled so much. And this is a real thing. Throttling is a real thing. Yeah, so you know, I've seen this. But they're two entirely different phone companies, but they share the same tower, right, So suffice to say that, you know, a lot of these people may not realize that they were also on an AT and T plan, right right, because I think there's really only three. I think it's AT and T, Verizon in Sprint. I think they own all three towers. It makes more sense right now. There may be there may be situations where there's no Verizon tower here and Verizon is paying AT and T to bounce, okay, and they may have got hit. But like I think Cricket, I'm

45:15 pretty sure Cricket is an AT and T. Yeah, it was death yep. I think that maybe there's four. I can't remember because I know Team Mobile's got some of its own. Yeah, but I don't think they have as many. But like what's the purple one? Uh, Boost Mobile, Yeah, that's it. That's that's the orange. That's the orange you're thinking of. Metro Metro. Metro Metro bounces off somebody else's towers. Boost bounces off of somebody else's towers. The Sprint owns their own, but I think they use an AT and T tower, but I'm not sure. Or maybe it's a team mobile tower. I can't remember. It's on location. Mike an of this a lot better. He knows more about this than I do, because that's what he did, was radio communication in the military. Okay, but he explained it all to me at one point, because you can see it like physically happen when you come to my house. Like some of you guys have a better cell reception than I do. That's true. Yeah, I mean even when I come though, it's it's still I still lose all my signal. I'm on your Wi Fi at that point, right, like mine goes into flat to so S mode. What is that s O S. That's the thing you can do? Yeah, yeah, it says so O S at the top and there's no bars and it doesn't say you know whatever it is t FW or what is it. The five five G

46:50 doesn't say that at the top. It just says S O S. But like, you know, some people come out here and they have two bars signals. It's really weird. I't actually since I switched carriers, but I haven't noticed in yet. Let's coming over there. But yeah, to me, it just doesn't make sense for it to be an attack on this sense. Mm hmm
