S415- Good Bye , White Rhino.

0:00 Everybody. Uh, check out the Dread Excitabus, the new podcast we got going on. It's scripted fiction. It's really fun. I've been working hard on that one too, and we will see you soon on the next episode of the Kentucky X Files. So take care of each other and we'll see you. H you want to make sure there's gonna be twisted turns and ups and downs. That's rights, sometimes in different orders than that, sometimes rights and lefts and downs and ups, a lot of downs. Fuck. Welcome back, guys to your Kentucky X Files. Who ha who who? Who?

1:23 Do you will immediately notice that we are two out of three. Josh has had it benefit well, a car show benefit something, and uh yeah, he sent us some some videos and pictures to shay you guys later on, so we'll put them up. But uh, you got it's it's us, You got us, got us today and uh woe is us. It's a it's interesting times. And uh, I'm gonna get this one out of the way first. I wanna, I wanna bring this right up to the table and get it over with because it hurts me. The white northern rhino is fundamentally extinct, and that is a huge bummer. I don't know if you heard about this, ty, did you hear about this? There was there was three left in the world, and the male died in twenty eighteen.

2:22 The females there's two females left and both of them are too old now to carry a calf to full term. So unfortunately, the white rhino is it's done. There's programs, you know that possibly could help, but they're too fucking busy working on mammoth balls with balls. As you no doubt listeners have heard about in a previous episode, there's people trying to bring the Dodo back. There's people trying to, you know, bring the saber tooth tiger peck, mammoths peck all this other ship, while the white rhino just sits there and goes about. It's you know, it's last little bit and it wouldn't be a big deal, but it is kind of our fault. Like so, well, the white rhino is a little different from other rhinos because they're a lot more but I said, I guess they're they're not as aggressive as some of the other rhino species, so they're they're kind of like they hang out in big herds. They kind of they're more sociable. They're not.

3:37 They don't just take off charging at you because you're you there. So that behavior alone made them very very easy to proach. Okay, so people were basically just killing these shit out of them for their for their ivory and and whatnot. And unfortunately we're at the we're at the tail end of that. Now we've lived long enough to watch several species go extinct and here we are. Yeah, so yeah, that's a huge bummer. And then somebody had said something there. Somebody was trying to harvest what do you call it, like, uh, harvest the eggs that the females may still have, just try to see if they could fertilize them and put them in a different rhino to carry the calf to full term. But unfortunately rhino is there a type of animal that doesn't interbreed very well, you know, they don't.

4:40 They don't do so hot with that, Like, it doesn't doesn't work half the time. But seriously, like to me, this is a major bummer. This is a huge loss because it's it's a species that's not going to be here anymore. And we did that, you know, And and some people are like, well, you know it happened Survival of the fittest. Yeah, totally, But tell me that again when it's the last two people on Earth. But I when they say survival of fittest, like, okay, by all means Like I I think hunting hunting for your food is one thing, sure, but when you put a dollar value on just it's like some parts of this animal. Yeah, that's that's where it gets wrong.

5:29 I don't feel like that's right, Like, especially destroying a population of an animal just because you want its horn. That's like it's ivory like, so that's like, that's not survival of the fittest. That's that's exploiting. Like like what it was the especially like what type of I don't know if this was a I think it was like a gorilla thing, but uh they poached gorillas for like their hands other hand to make him. Yeah, that's that's ridiculous. Go to an arts and craft store or get some clay, make your own fucking ass straight. Do you really need a freaking gorilla han to do that? It's stupid. That's not survival of fitness. That's just being er like I guess, self centered, like you're wanting Yeah, you're just wanting an extravagant thing and you're willing to kill something for it. It's just like going because my neighbor has a side by side and I'm gonna shoot him in the face just because I wanted side by side. That's that's stupid, Like, come on, does your neighbor have a side by side? He does, and it's really nice. We need to disclaim here that now he doesn't actually want his I don't like I would if I gotta work hard for it, but I wouldn't shoot him in the face, Like come on, I like, I just said it's stupid that way. And that's when the show turned a true crime. Just like GAT, we slipped into a different

7:01 genre. There's gonna be like a video clip of me saying all this stuff, and then there's gonna be another news clip. Man charged today for shooting his neighbor in the face because he wanted to side by side, and it's just me like like like holding up the sign. It's like shit, yeah, it's true. And then they'll have me on camera and I'll be like he was so quiet, so quiet, it was just so quiet, and they'll be like, why are you saying that? I'm like, I thought that's what you're supposed to say. He was so quiet. I never saw it Covin. I mean I did because he said it. But other than that, I yeah, you know what I mean, Yeah, I thought he was being facetious. Does this make me an accomplish because I'm like, I'm sitting here like listening, and well, that's if you believe that I would do it. Do you believe that I would do it? It's just so quiet I'm talking right now, you're quietly talking, quietly quiet. I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I don't think you're shoot a guy for a side by side, right, I mean, like, I'm sixty eight percent sure that you wouldn't wouldn't do that. I'm going to get a call. I'm going to get a call now because of this. Thank you.

8:26 Yeah. We were just trying to make like talk about the white rhino, and that's going to be your serial killer name. They're going to call you the white rhino, the white right. This is where the white right outs. So uh, I got another one here that's somewhat related to this. I think I'm going to go ahead and share this one with you, because this one's this was this one's pretty wild? Uh? Of that here? Yeah, there we go. Okay, so this was caught on camera.

9:09 Really I thought the last one was recognize this guy tas Median tiger. Apparently somebody finally snapped a picture of this thing, and the jury's out with the experts. They they're having a tough time disproving it. M So, I don't know what to think about this, but I mean, like, look at that the elongated jaw, all that stuff. I mean, I know there's been rumors of this for for years. Yeah, there's been a lot of rumors of this thing, that this thing was out there, that it was still alive in small numbers or whatever. Uh, I don't know, but it's pretty wild because we just traded a rhino for it, you know what I mean, Like we're losing a species, but there's a potential that an extinct species might still be around. I think that's pretty fascinating.

10:24 But yeah, it's this has been all over the place, like everybody's been talking about this for the last couple of weeks, that that this uh, that this was some guy snapped some pictures as quick as he could of this thing while it was insight just to do it, and it's all over. It's everywhere you can. You can go like anywhere on Facebook. You can find pictures of this thing. Now you can. Like there's like like big Time News is talking about it, and a lot of people's first impression is that it's legit, like it's it's the real thing. I don't know, holy shit, the thylocene, you know, just saying they definitely need to get a hold of whoever took those pictures and figure out where it is, because you know, somebody's out there, like I gotta shoot that in the face. Yeah, it's like probably that's what's would happen, is is somebody It'll be like, dude, we have proof that the thiloscene is still alive, and somebody will be like come out of nowhere and just like shoot it.

11:26 And it's like, well that was that's ever. They're gone now. But I mean, if there's one, then it came from somewhere. So I just can't beat there, you know what I mean. Yeah, I was just about to say that, like because I've been hearing about this that people had sightings of these things for for years. Yeah, and like I don't does is there any idea of like their lifespan not to I know, no, I mean, at least not that anybody really you know, I can say definitively. I think I don't really know. Yeah, because that's what I'm saying is like, if this was the last one, man, it is resilient because for years, it's like just kept going no other predators.

12:22 Uh got it, Like it's it's that's crazy. It's wild, man. I mean, I don't know, I don't really know what to think. It's it's cool as hell. Like I hope it's I hope it's all legit. I hope they you know, it all turns out to be just absolutely true. I want to see it. I'd like to see the thing. I mean, to know that this thing that was lost to history might be out there is really fascinating, that's really cool. No. I searched for everything. I searched for for all kinds of different stuff to get into. Uh. I found that I've been holding onto that one for a couple of weeks. You guys probably realized by now that we've been recording one gigantic episode and then we break it up and and send it out over over a few weeks. Or whatever, and it gives us time to look for things and and build up some some content for you and and to get on here and bullshit it out. You know, last Friday we was hanging out.

13:28 Uh we actually got accidentally caught the borealis. That was pretty bad ass. Didn't was going to happen? That was that was pretty bad ass because we were all literally sitting there like what that well, you remember Starlank wentever and we were all like, yeah, yeah, Starlank. I thought Starlink was still just three satellites that that's that's so fucking train. Now it's got it's just chugging along. I wonder if he wants to eventually have like one stream just around. Yeah, like you never not like you never don't see it.

14:15 Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty pretty bad ass, you know. But it was cool is to get to like kind of experience that and see it. You know. I remember last year when I was still in the camper. I remember seeing it on the news that you'd be able to see the borealis and I just kept going outside and looking and trying, and it was like it just I could never see it from where I was at. But I didn't even know this one was happening, and we were sitting there having a beer, bullshitting, and there it is. There's a Borealis just in all its glory right above us. And that was bad ass. I thought I snapped a picture of it, but I don't know if I did.

14:56 I can't remember. I know my daughter she she took a bunch of pictures of it. Yeah, I don't. I don't think I did. I often don't do that. I often forget. I'm gonna see if she's got some pictures up here and I can show. Yeah, she sure did.

15:46 Mhm. Sorry, people, I'm back. I was cold when I first, when I first started, so I had my hoodie on and now I'm hot, so I had to change. I had to change into a street but yeah, uh, I immediately started saying it's in the times when I saw it. I don't know if anybody else out there. I don't like. This is the reason why no one really like listens to me because a lot of my information comes from movies. Yeah, that's why people like you shouldn't listen to me. But dude, if anybody's seen the core when you see, I'm not even gonna say that, like the northern lights around here.

16:33 The core is destabilizing. It's it stopped spinning. So we're we're like, we're we're about to it's in the days, it's in the days. I still't I still think it is. I mean we're dead. I don't. I don't think that's the case. I think that you know, like there there it is. That's the pictures my my daughter snapped. You're seeing like a screenshot out of a screenshot here, so so sorry, And there's the other it's like pretty similar. I guess if I do this, it looks like it's moving. That's really cool. I was super stoked. This has been a year of shit happening in the skies though. The yeah, the old what do you call it? The eclipse happened. That was pretty badass. I just I just love I think I said this on our last big, big episode when the eclipse happened. Uh. They Google said that they had a uptick right after like the like day like a day after the eclipse happened. They had a big search on why does my eyes hurt?

17:48 That was day like a day after they the eclipse happened, because you fucking stared at the sun. Yeah, staring at the sound do that it was pretty cool during the eclipse. I was I was actually working on my little one of my little lawnmowers out there, and it was slowly getting darker outside, and yeah, I was kind of like, that's pretty badass, you know, like it's cool that I was out there. I wasn't staring at the sun by any means, but uh, I did set up my GoPro and set up a time lapse that was kind of cool. But uh, in the end, the time lapse turned out to be very very uneventful because it was literally just aimed kind of at the sky with the sun offset and then it just got dark and then it got bright again. But it's a time lapse, so it took a really long time for it to do it.

18:45 And I was like, this didn't add anything at anything for anyone, So I just kind of gave up on that. It is what it is. Let's see here. H got some pictures that came through for uh kay, let's see here. H m hm h. Josh sent us over some pictures of some cars that he's looking at at the the old fundraiser. I'm gonna put some of these up so we can check them out. H m hm mhm. See here here we go. All right, let's see what he's got here. Look at that. Oh that is nice. Let's keep on cruising here. Wow. Nice raph kind of a little bit blurry on

20:23 my end. Yeah, so is that one? Huh some raptors looks like, what is that? Yeah? Little dinosaurs boom? Look at that. Oh yeah, let's say he's having final least. Oh man, Let's see what else I got here. I know, see I saved some other ship. Oh yeah, yeah. Turns out, in the spirit of the ill the disclosure, a congressman has basically, well it's Congressman Tim Burchette. Hopefully I'm saying that right, or Burshett or whatever. He authored a bill, uh, basically that he wants to force the government into releasing the rest of their classified UFO documents. Good luck, good luck. I don't know what to say. I want to believe it's gonna work. He's gonna he's gonna get in there and he's gonna strong arm him. But it's like, if

21:55 these these same people that you're trying to to forest are the ones that have to sign your ill in to fucking the law, you know, what I mean, like, yeah, I can't imagine them being like, Okay, let's see what you got here. Okay, so you've this forces us to give you all the classified ship that we got. Sign here seems pretty harmless. Oh you gott us Like really, they're going to release it, but it's just gonna be black lines. Yeah that which it was a joke, wasn't it. Yeah, just redacted after redacted after redacted. Yeah, it's like why, yeah, yeah, you really told us a lot. Yeah.

22:48 I don't know. I want to see it. I want to see I'd love to see just full truthful disclosure, just bringing out into the open. Let's see everything. Let's get this, let's get this show on the road. Let's let's start working on this. As a species. I've always like I was talking to uh one, like one of the guys at work. He started like talking about this. He he was saying that his wife was like a huge like like I guess, I guess you would say, an advocate of like all these like weird like UFOs, Yeah, like scared for the end of days, all this kind of stuff. And I was telling them my opinions about a lot of stuff. I was like, I like to take take things at like, uh not at face value because I wasn't there, Like even I was talking about the like UFOs the moon landing, say there's there's bear, like a bearing like I feel like on both sides, and I go to what like we always say is like who doesn't benefit? Like why would they do that? Why would they make make it up? So like you got to think about it, like especially like the moon landing, like I wasn't there. I wasn't alive, right, But the idea of faking it because you're basically trying to tell the Soviets like,

24:21 hey where you were better? We made it to the moon before you, so back off. I get that saying that they faked the moon landing, but then like saying, like have we been to the moon? I do believe that we have, sure, But it could the first moon landing be a hoax. Maybe I don't know what's it there. I don't know the actual real proof because no one's ever going to really disclose even if it was a fake. There's no such thing, Like they'll never admit to that, Like they'll never admit that they faked it just because they wanted to. Uh uh basically fake it just so they can look better in front of the Soviets, Right, So I even said, like, uh said uh about the like UFOs. Okay, we talked about Bob Blazar. A lot of the stuff that he talks about and stuff like some of it came true. Like I guess I can't remember everything he said, but a lot of the stuff that he said is true. Uh, it came to be. But uh, what I keep thinking the government does is how it's easier. Okay, everybody thinks, like, oh, if I start talking about this, I'm gonna even if it is the truth, if I get if I start talking

25:53 about this, they'll they'll have me thrown out in the middle of the desert, never to be seen again. I think that's that's bool. Like once you start talking about it on the internet, especially how easy it is to start a guest and start talking about Yeah, that's making that person's words true, like no matter, like you're basically making that person a martyr. But if you keep letting him talk spewing this crazy stuff, it's true. It's easier to manipulate the media to say this person's crazy. That's sure. Yeah, because the things people say that they've seen is crazy. No one wants to believe, like believe that these are real. So it's easier to just let him talk and just kind of like sprinkle like he's a lunatic, he doesn't know what he's talking. Yeah, talk because well, I mean yeah, because he can sound crazy. Yeah, let him shoot himself in the foot, even though that he's telling you the genuine truth. Because we do that today, even with stuff that's not like that, uh like like UFOs or anything. We do that today, Like somebody could like do we convict

27:23 people on very little evidence just because their story doesn't seem believable, and then they'll come to find out that he was that person was telling the truth the whole time. So that's what I'm kind of like going off of, is that we do that in like simple things. If crazy thing happens and this person's talking about it, just him talk whatever, you Uh. I put it in a way of like hiding in plain sight. That's why we let all these people talk about these things. It is because it's easier just to make them look crazy than it is to silence them. Yeah, that's true.

28:14 I mean, I mean, shit, did even Neil Armstrong like towards the end was saying all kinds of crazy ship. Remember remember hearing about that. I thought it was uh like a buzz all. Yeah, he's saying that they like yeah, but I can't I thought I saw a video of them. They manipulated the audio Like I can't say they manipulated, but they could it. You know how they do it. Something looks different than what it like. They they start the the audio like way before the the actual or they took one little word out and it changes the whole narrative of the of the story. So back before they had AI, yeah, now you got AI. Videos of buzz Aldrin like trying to sell your car insurance and ship. Yeah, I don't know how many times freaking uh Joe Rogan's trying to sell me supplements. Yeah yeah, Joe Rogan's just like selling supplements out of his car now. I mean going along with that one though. It's like he does that ship on his show anyway. Yeah, so they're yea too, because he'll be sitting there talking and he's like really really good, and all of a sudden he's like, you may not know this, but health is actually really important to me, and you're just like, what what huh? What what about the damn got me again, babe. I've seen

29:45 those videos that Joe Rogan AI videos. They're getting better at him. I love the ones that actually so that you don't try to sync up the audio, like while you're watching it, they'll do the captions in front of his mouth. Yeah, like the words that there's they put in there. They put the captions over his mouth. And I'm like, you know that he like the videos that you're splicing together so you don't get copyright infringement there, he's changing like his clothes, like he's a different T shirt and stuff. I'm like, you know, this is all different videos. So yeah, it's freaking hilarious. Dude. Yeah, I keep seeing that ship. We're in that age now though I've already seen at least four AI bigfoot videos on Facebook. Mm hmm. And that was the cat killing my camera. I didn't I didn't notice you notice no, Like, look at that hands handsome man. Who is that? That's the that's not your stunt double. That's you. That's a picture of you. That's not that's Oh god, here we go every goddamn time. Look I have them all. I'm like I'm crooked. Now, hold that mean Okay, we're back. So I don't

31:18 know if you could tell, but the cat is running around losing its mind, and my cable for my camera happened to be the casualty there, so yeah, god damn it. But yeah, I know it's I've seen that, like more ridis over there of AI generated big but
