S418 - STRANGE SIGNALS FROM OUTER SPACE!

0:00 Mhm alright, Hey everybody, Uh, check out the dread Excidabus, 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 people. We need we need that sound effect.

1:10 We need that sound we need to or the fax machine sound. Yeah. Yeah. Our demographic is definitely the fax machine dial up Internet coming to you from fifty six K world. You'll be getting all your information from us at fifty six whatever is in a second. That's kind of what it looks like over here on me because they keep glitching. It's amazing. I remember, I mean, I know we've talked about this more. I don't know if we've ever brought it up on the show, but back when the fifty six K was really like hitting it right, it was like you could be on the Internet and you would go to a website you hit in and you're like, as it just it just loads down and you're just like, oh God help you. If you if you already started reading, because if it if something happens and it stops loading you'll get this so far and you're like, yes, do you remember the Uh yes, that's exactly what happened to me.

2:32 Looking at pictures of Ladies of the Night, there's harlots if you will. Do you remember the commercials for the Internet when it was like it was barely a thing and you would see like somebody take their phone, accorded phone and put it on the modem to make it work. Oh yeah, they had the dial in to get the internet, like to get the Internet. Yeah. I used to know what that was called. Uh it was that was half the speed of the fifty six K. It was like twenty eight point eight or something. I don't know. I didn't get the Internet in my house until I was like twenty Where is that here? I'm trying to find a picture of one because this is Yeah, I never had that modem.

3:27 It was in like movies. You remember that. You see that thing in movies? Yeah? Yeah, like war games with uh, what's his name Matthew Broderick. Broderick said, Matthew, Yeah, he was in he was in Unsolved Mysteries. Who's that Matthew McConaughey. Was he really? That was one of those first acting gigs, Yeah, greenlighte. So his first acting gig was Days and Confused. This is before Days shit. Yep, he was on a he was it was an episode of Unsolved Mysteries. Uh, I just saved a picture and now I don't he had his shirt on for most of it, damn. But that's where it all started. I mean he was pushed by way leaving something for the imagination he got shot and killed. Okay, Now, well I had a picture of it, but I don't know where it's at. So here I'll just do this. Yeah that one, Yeah, the old three. It says three or seven.

4:50 Yeah. Yeah, So that's how it worked, like worked. You dialed in to get the Internet and it sended like signals through the phone for you to access whatever you wanted. Could you imagine if it was still going on like that, Like how many kids are in the middle of a Fortnite game and accidentally bump the fucking receiver. No, it's one of the Yeah, it's just like you would say, remember back in the day when you were on the computer and then somebody picked up the phone. Yeah, you're like, oh, yeah, the old sitting at Dave's house downloading music and then the sister picks up the phone and you know you're thirty minutes through forty five minute download, and yeah, well, let's be honest. I mean, the fifty six K opened the floodgates. Man, you can download albums, no fan And then you know, what was it? What was it that happen? Then next the DSL modems, I guess DSL and cable modems happened next, and it was like, all of a sudden, we're at one hundred and twenty eight and we were like, dude, we're flying. We are downloading so fast. We're downloading ourselves into the future right now. That's how fast we are. I just loved when they I guess they when they

6:26 changed when they transitioned from your traditional phone lines to cable lines for yeah to get because I remember was it. I think it was Spectrum. A guy was demonstrating how this was like would work out of the commercial. He takes his sandwich, he's like, takes a straw. He's like, this is a phone line with your internet connection. He takes half of a sandwich. He's like, you can't do it, It's like nothing. Then he takes a paper like paper towel roll and he's like, takes a half a sandwich. That's your internet connection. It's like that was really informing. Thank you.

7:10 There's nothing like a good food and analogy, you know. Yeah. I was really upset that he destroyed half that sandwich though, Yeah, sacrificed that. I wonder if he ate it afterwards. Yeah, yeah, I like to believe he did. I don't know, I don't know, probably not, because you think we've done what like maybe three commercials for like sponsors on the show total. It's like, how long it took us just to get three lines of dialogue rag or whatever to make it not ridiculous That sandwich was probably room temperature for four hours or more, just multiple takes. Yeah, so I'd like to think sandwich that that sandwich just got thrown away and nobody got food poisoning. That would be bad. Yeah, you're probably right.

8:07 I mean this could be. I mean, I don't know how when that was that happened, but I can remember, and they've grown up in the eighties, you know, especially in the early nineties, it was like, hey man, you dropped something on the floor, You've got so many seconds to grab it and eat it. Yeah, you know, and that shit got pretty generous for a minute. Yeah, you know, depending on what it was that you dropped, you know, Like I know, it's like, say you were making breakfast and you dropped a piece of scrambled egg or something. You're like, yeah, ten second rule or a five second rule, but it's already been six seconds. I'm gonna get and throw that one away. Yeah, but god damn it, you dropped like a piece of Meatlover's pizza on the floor. You give that bastard like thirty minutes if you had to, right, You're like, ooh. It also depended on the stickiness of the itself. You know, if it's like a potato chip that doesn't have any adhesive properties, it is what it is. Go ahead and meat that little guy. Yeah, you know, a piece of candy mm hmm, not so much full on plate of biscuits and gravy. Man.

9:24 Yeah, I had a land on the floor. I had an existential crisis one time. So I had these blue glass plates and I had biscuits and gravy leftover that I was reheating, and for some reason, the plate exploded in the microwave. Oh shit, Yeah, it like just shattered underneath the biscuits and gravy. So I love me some business gravy. And I was like, yeah, can I fish out all the glass? Right? I had someone I had to take about it for a minute. Yeah, did you end up getting all the glass out of it? No? I just I figured, you know, a perforated colon was not my ideal Sunday plans. I fully expected you to be like. So a few minutes later, I'm eating my biscuits and gravy and I'm right, glass out of my mouth. It was crazy. Biscuits and gravy doesn't have a second rule for dropping it. I mean, yeah, there is just something good about biscuits and gravy. And it's really just the you know, the weird thing is it's all the same ingredients. Yeah, it's just one's wetter than the other.

10:41 I know, it's amazing. It's so amazing. Well, it depends, I guess depends on the gravy I've been. I've been I was making my gravy with flour, but now I've been using corn stars lately and it's been coming out really freaking good. Yeah. I don't know if you've ever used cornstars, but I just started doing that. People are listening to this are probably gonna be like, well, fuck, yeah, dude, we're you talking about. But still it's like, I'm I am new to it, you know what I mean. I spent years of ruining gravy and now I feel like I'm I'm I'm good now, and you know, it's stopped judging me out there. Jeez god. It's the other thing too, is is biscuits and gravy is such a simple meal to eat and it doesn't look like it's that complicated, but both ingredients require years of talent, yeah, to make it from scratch. It's true. I know guys. I know guys that are in their sixties that are like, I finally made good biscuits, you know. Oh yeah, yeah, I've been there for a minute.

11:43 I haven't the last couple of weekends because I was freaking just killed. But uh, there for a while, man, I was making biscuits and grazy like every weekend. Nice. Yeah, yesterday I made I made it for everybody yesterday. It was really good. Man. I didn't make the biscuits. The wife did. Speaking Happy Father's Day, fellas Happy Father's Day, guys, Yeah, it is Father's day, we're we're back to recording. You guys out there may have not missed a couple of weeks there ship got crazy life happens, you know how it is. I've been going for a long time. Josh has been on a on a spirit yeah hiatus. Yeah, the uh started walking in the wood, like he just started walking and he just just kept walking. He just finally came back. That's the reason why his beard is so big. It's like Tom innks, Ye like to go back to three episodes ago and look at Josh's beard and they compare it to now see how see how much is ground, how much time has passed. You know, it's it's almost it's almost to the belly button.

12:52 Nice, You're almost able to tuck it in. Yeah, I'm like that far from the belly button right now. It doesn't look like it on camera because you know that part's still got black to it. You were so close to just literally having your own clothes, oh man, Yeah, like a shel Silverstein guy. Yeah, I'm just saying, you're like, h at that point, like like you could have it as a tie, like you put like a little when you get a little fancy, you put the amazing. Yeah, I like it. The mustache is uh getting about ridiculous though, Yeah, pretty substantial mustache. I think you need to start to curl it. Give it the old bad ass. Yeah. Yeah, he's immediately like this newish I want to He's like a banker now, like I want to get. As soon as he did that, a pipe appeared. Yeah.

13:46 I don't know if it was like magic or there was just a pipe under there somewhere, but like the heavy Fisherman sweater and the glass of whiskey, like just go full on himing way over here. Mm hmm. Yeah, joshing joshing way. I like it. Yeah, but that was a giveaway that a lot of times we record one episode and yeah, split it up over a couple of weeks because that first episode I was at a children with cancer benefit. It was a car show and not more than it was more than just a car show. There was a lot of stuff. There was silent auctions, it was raffles, food trucks, petting zoos. It was just like big Fair basically put on for a girl. I'm Mazie.

14:31 So that's why I couldn't make it for those three episodes. And then we took a week off the following week, Yeah, and some stuff going on it was, yeah, is what it is. Yeah, it's one of them things. Uh yeah, I know. We get a little bit of ship sometimes from from some of the listeners out there. I'm not going to drop any names, but you guys know who you are. Where Like what the hell were you been? Or you know what I mean? Or or when we get back to be like, oh, f shit happens? Man? Sorry, Yeah, I would love to just be able to focus, you know, on just our creative projects. But you know how it is. Life happens other plans. We still have full time jobs. You guys don't listen enough for us to yeah jobs, This is in a way, it's your all fault. Yeah, you guys downloaded a lot more. Yeah, yeah, we could do this full time. We could put on an episode every two days, but there's just you. Yeah, that's true.

15:39 We need more any more. I don't know, I think, what is it? What is it? What's going on out there? Huh, what's what's up? Explain yourselves? Why do we still have to have jobs? Yeah? Oh man, so you guys, have you guys been paying tension? Any weird shit? Lately, I've seen a little bit. The only thing I saw that popped in was that it was the thing I sent you guys about the radio signal. Dude, I was so excited. Yeah, that is amazing because now we have two instances this year of weird shit coming from space. Do you guys remember the lighting the lights they found? I don't, Okay, So they picked up artificial light from a planet out there.

16:34 It's the same spectrum of light that we produced with all of our street lights and city lights and you know what I mean. And they actually saw that same frequency of light on a planet in the out in the deep space. I could probably find it. Let's see here, artificial light on planet. Uh, let's see here. I gotta find it. But yeah, I was so excited about that proxima b uh. Yeah, here it says proximate proximate. Bee was okay, this is this is the part that's weird, is uh. Not only did they detect artificial light coming from it, but it came from its its dark side, its sided away from its star, which is like, to me, like what you would expect, right, I mean, if it's nighttime over there, they're gonna flip on the goddamn lights. Right, So there was that, and now we have the signal. I don't I don't think the signals coming from the same place, but it's like, right, so the signal, they they're attributing it to a neutron star, but they don't understand how it could work because of the revolutions. Because apparently the signal it comes in three different waves. Its bright

18:11 flashes last between ten and fifty seconds and have a linear polarization, which I really don't know exactly what that means, other I'm guessing it has to do with the radio waves. Yeah. Then the next pattern is the pulses are weak and have a circular polarization and only lasts three hundred and seventy milliseconds. And then the next state that it's in is it misses the q Q and remains silent. The problem is is that it's occurring like every fifty four minutes, while a neutron star spins faster than that, because neutron stars are known for emitting these waves as well. Okay, but a neutron star spins faster, right, Yeah, So if it's rotating and we're picking up the ping, ping, ping, you know, every time it comes around, it doesn't make sense for it to be a neutron star because of the time elapse between. Okay, so neutron stars. When a star collapses, yeah, yeah, it's after a large car dies. White dwarfs and neutron stars are born to the death of large stars. Okay. And the mass, the mass of the dying star is what dictates whether it's a neutron or a white dwarf. Okay, And then okay, so I don't I just I'm like not up to speed on my neutron star. Apparently information, but so it

19:47 emits these sounds. Yeah, the signals. Neutron stars are known for emitting radio waves, but they spin in their rotation in seconds or actions of a second. They spend very fast, right, yeah, whereas the signal we're receiving is happening every fifty four minutes. That's what doesn't make any sense to the scientists. Just defying physics is if you will, all right, here's this for folks out there who are as puzzled as I just was. This is basically the the steps, the steps create to creating yourself a neutron star.

20:32 You have the ingredients at home, pretty freaking wild. I know, I mean, I know what people are saying that they thought that the sounds were Yeah, that's that's this is exactly what it is. Is. The scientists are like, well, these things create these but the rate in which is happening doesn't make sense, so nobody knows where they're coming from. Yeah, mhm plus okay, So I mean, what if I know it's you know, I go down the rabbit hole, like, I don't care.

21:17 I love it. It's like, if it is someone out there sending signal, are they just doing what we were, what we've been doing, Yeah, just popping out a signal, because then, yeah, what's what is our signal that we're sending out because we were admitting one. I wonder if we've got almost a similar pattern. What if this is like a calling and a reply or call and response type thing, that'd be pretty cool. You know. Yeah, where's it at here? Yeah? The message message sent in this I'm probably saying this wrong. The rs CBO message. How do you say this? It's basically a signal containing seven parts the numbers one to ten the atomic numbers of the elements hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus. Which make up doo X, ruben, nucleid acid or DNA.

22:45 I'm probably saying this all wrong. Formulas of the chemical compounds that make up the nucleotides, estimated number of nucleotides in the human genome in a graphic of the double helix, the dimension the physical height of an average man, the graphic figure of a human being, and the human population of Earth, which was four billion at the time. The graphic of the Solar system including Pluto. See that Pluto is still in nice right, They already sent the message, so it's like, you can't you can't undo it now. Yeah.

23:26 I feel like if you sent the message out and Pluto was already in, that's a universal message now, so it's like you can't pack pedal now right and be like, yeah, by the way, Pluto's not a planet anymore. Fuck you leave Pluto alone? Right? Not? Sorry? What one more time? What it's not? What's not is not a planet? Son of bitch? Can we boot him? You get the fuck out of here with that anti plue bullshit. I'm starting a fucking what do you call it. I'm gonna We're gonna get shirts made justice for Pluto. Justice.

24:11 I like it. Let's see here, it's got a graphic of the Aricibo radio telescope and the physical dimensions of it. The entire message consists of sixteen hundred and seventy nine binary digits approximately two hundred and ten bytes, transmitted at a frequency of two three hundred and eighty mega hurts. Holy shit, that's crazy, modulated by shifting the frequency by ten herts with the power of four four hundred and fifty kilowatts. The ones and zeros are transmitted by frequency shifting at the rate of ten bits per second. The total broadcast is less than three minutes. The number sixteen hundred and seventy nine was chosen because it it is a semi prime, the product of two prime numbers to be arranged rectangularly as rectangularity, I can't say that as seventy three rows by twenty three columns.

25:12 The alternate arrangement is twenty three rows by seventy three columns produced in unintelligible set of characters. So everything that they everything that they sent is going to have to be just perpluto. Everything that they sent is going to have to be received by a A I guess group of beings that are on par with ours or beyond us in intelligence as far as breaking down binary codes and such and whatnot. But I can't help but wonders like, how many people right now who are adept at using their cell phones in the internet, how many people could off the cuff just decode the Morse code message? Right? I couldn't. Yeah, I mean if it says S O S yeah. But other than that, boy scouts they're taught, they're taught horse code. Are they still taught that? As far as I know you? That'd be interesting.

26:19 I was just thinking because it's like, what if the people that receive that signal are too far ahead and they're like, what is this bunch of fucking GARBLEG? Is that A? Is that a neutron star? You think, what what the hell is are we getting here? You know, like, right, maybe they're too far ahead of us. I wanna do you think that there's like there's like, say that there's another planet with life on it, and they're having the same conversations we're having right now. Like there's there's dickheads on like a podcast wondering like what's out there? And we like we're, oh, yeah, we got sightings again. Uh, or we're hearing these are real, bro, Yeah they're real. They're like whatever, dude, you fucking crazy conspiracy as motherfucker earthlings. Yeah there could be though.

27:23 I mean it's a big place out there right there. There absolutely could be like alien versions of us, like bullshitting you know about about whether earthlinks are real or not. I mean, the law probability there has to be. What if there's a planet of Bigfoots out there that refuse they're all skeptics. They will not accept that there's a Bigfoots and they don't believe in shit that's clear. Like like when you look something if it's a clear picture, they think it's fake because they don't have good enough cameras. Yeah, everything is blurry on their planet. They're like, you remember when we sent out, like, you know, fifteen twenty bigfoots in the deep space to explore.

28:18 I bet they didn't even find anything. Idiots. They crashed landed here and they're walking around all blurry. I think you just solved it. I think, God, God damn it, that's the most probable. If that's the most probable. Yeah, and they live for like one hundred years. But it was all guys yeah. Yeah, so there's no reproduction. I tell you what if that's the case, that's going to hurt some of the I was taken by female bigfoot stories bad news. Yeah, oh my god.

29:06 Yeah. I still get questions about it. I don't know if you guys do. I still get every now and again, somebody will be like, do you guys find Bigfoot yet? Yeah? Like yeah, man, he's a He'll be honest. Next week he's we're gonna we're gonna interview him, you know, just put this whole thing to bed. Yeah. I just hated, like every time I tell people that I do do this, I talk about bigfoot, aliens and conspiracies and all that stuff and weird shit. They all gravitate ah bigfoot. Yeah, like Tyler over here talks about Bigfoot, he believes Bigfoot. I was like, I don't only talk about bigfoot likes. It happened for a little bit, and when people would make fun of me, I'd be like, you obviously don't listen to the show.

30:06 Yeah yeah, I know. Once when I hear that shit, I'm like, yeah, you're not. I guess you're not a listener. If you listen to us, you realize that we don't actually go looking we should we should go, but we already talked. We we literally came up with this idea a couple of years ago where we were like, dude, we should go. We should like go to some of these spots and like camp out. And we instantly realized that all we were doing was planning a camping trip with a lot of food and beer. Yeah, and it was like wait a minute, So that right there corrupted us as far as being dependable investigators for Bigfoot, because yeah, we're going to be eating a bunch of food and just drunk. Yeah, we were just going to be cooking, camping and drinking. And yeah, it still sounds great. Yeah, it's still sounds great, but yeah, I feel like that's good content right there.

31:00 We just be live stream and then we're just walking around the woods like falling, Like dude, we lost Tyler. I he's either like or he fell down. He fell down? Well a crevass. Yeah, a crevass. Where the fuck are we going, cap because those things, those things exist where it's cold, like real cold. I don't know, but my brain instantly went to like, there's crevasses and quicksand that's that's it, quicksand everywhere, never gonna I'm never gonna forget the lessons of my youth. Yeah, born in the eighties. Quicksand and stop drop and roll. Yeah, do we have confirmation on stop dropping roll? Does it actually work? Yes?

31:53 It does? Does it work? Okay, so that one was okay, just a quicksand thing? Your smell it. Yeah, I've actually stopped dropped it rolled though you're about to say, I have pop locked and dropped it pop locked and dropped enrolled. Yeah, I have participated in the stop drop and roll and it does. It does work? Do you guys remember happen to get under the desk? There's big ass desk in grade school? Yeah. I don't even know if there's those desks were still around now, but they probably should be because you could they've double for a boat anchor.

32:37 Yeah. Oh yeah, like I think they still do, like for like science classes. Yeah, because that's where I remember seeing them. I bet I could pull this up. But this was a desk. It was a sleeping surface and a storm shelter. Yeah, so really just need one of those and you have yeah, go out in the woods you live forever. From the eighties, Oh my god,
