0:41
a lot of theories about why. I thought
0:43
it was an eco move. For your words,
0:45
less paper. Over 130,000 It was so you could say No, it was so you
0:47
could say companies have grown their e-commerce businesses with ShipStation, and 98%

all just get under like a big overcoat and
1:54
pretend to be like one person? Please. Just for
1:57
a minute. It'd be kind of like that one
1:59
scene from Midsommar. Yeah, they're all screaming
2:01
together. Oh, yeah, but that feels a
2:03
little bit too extroverted for me actually,
2:05
but that's my dream Yeah,
2:07
maybe that's what I could do for my
2:09
36th birthday this year. Just have a group
2:12
screen Yeah, I just have a girl group
2:14
screen sure. Yeah, why not? We can all
2:16
commitment. Mm-hmm I get to choose the dress
2:18
code everybody dresses like me It's the night
2:20
of a thousand Johnnies and then the night
2:22
culminates when we all sit together with me
2:25
in the middle and just scream,
2:27
uh-huh That
2:30
would probably feel really fucking great a great
2:32
way to start my 36th year Hell
2:35
yeah There has to be something cathartic about
2:37
just like getting in a group and screaming
2:40
right one would like to think and one
2:42
will Find out on December 14th of 2024.
2:45

2:47
hope Hi

2:54
race to talk about so like we have
2:56
a spooky gay bullshit segment to intro this

3:01
I just feel untethered. I feel
3:03
at sea until May 17th strikes
3:05
upon the clock You know
3:07
the moment the built-in calendar on it. Yeah,
3:10
I shall not feel the same Yeah, but
3:12
I mean until the doomsday clock counts us
3:14
down Johnny We could talk a little bit
3:16
about the Queens of the new season We
3:18
did go in-depth in them over on the
3:20
secret society But I believe we did promise
3:23
the spooky bitches we'd give a little bit
3:25
of our thoughts really. Oh, oh That's
3:28

4:03
Me episode appearance see like to the on
4:05
a regular season either. Like I believe they
4:07

4:09
the equivalent to what you would when my
4:11
one I guess nobody wants fifty thousand dollars
4:13
in the season two thousand and a say
4:15
in season three years he's into. But season
4:18
two Twenty five thousand doll. Like when is
4:20

to the Secret Society the doesn't suck right
4:42
now. Listen to the most recent episode, a
4:44
Sticky Snacks or depending on when you listen
4:47
of is one of the more recent episodes.
4:49
We did a fall off road like one
4:51
hour episode where we talked about our opinions
4:53
about these queens and I won't lie or
4:56
probably about a quarter of it was dedicated
4:58
to our love of Chanel Cells. You
5:00
had a society A gear it's probably
5:02
I given to to say that like
5:05
we love to Now we worship that
5:07
all. Yeah! So excited to see on
5:09
Tv again. Absolutely Canal, just hands down
5:11
is the one who I'm most excited
5:13
to see because it's been over a
5:16
decade since he's had to now on
5:18
our Tv and Chanel is just one
5:20
of. Just. So entertain as
5:22
he is. Camp yeah she is just
5:25
everything easy was giving as cringe before
5:27
we had the words for Korean. as
5:29
hard as giving us camp before any
5:31
of us have even thought about reading
5:33
notes on camp. Probably I mean somebody
5:36
probably already had. but anyway, now she
5:38
now is an outstanding queen. a great
5:40
personality. If you follow her on Instagram
5:42
you know she's the Queen of Christmas
5:45
serially as Move Over Reich Harrys Yeah.
5:47
But also Chanel will let you know
5:49
that she was the first person to.
5:51
Ever walk into the workroom on Ripples
5:53
throughout Grey Seal? My lawyer lists it's
5:55
and when Repos Drag Race first came
5:57
out on two thousand and Nine, it.
6:00
The not a powerhouse that it is
6:02
now a days. These people were really
6:04
taking like a shot in the dark
6:06
and really putting themselves out there for
6:09
the world to see. A not so
6:11
accepting world like Drake has come here
6:13
very long way. Moon Scruples Drag race
6:16
first hit the airway. I'm like let's
6:18
put on underline. The beneath it should
6:20
now was also like probably I believe
6:22
the first queen on drag race that
6:25
was rock and a breastplate. Flamingo very
6:27
apparently rocking a breastplate and like that
6:29
Medusa. Look that she did where they were
6:31
just out and proud. I mean or as
6:33
somebody who was just being introduced the world
6:36
drag I know I looked at that imagine
6:38
was like. To
6:40
that yeah I thought Skyn was being pushed
6:43
around this punk as I like to have
6:45
no way you can do a nude chest
6:47
like that like it was mittens. Miss defines
6:49
me so like yeah she now has ban
6:51
unexceptionable drag queen since day one. Yeah and
6:54
I'm just so excited to see where she
6:56
has entered the capital at all. Same said
6:58
system got the at other other highlights. Got
7:01
Mack very very excited. forgotten I guess.
7:03
so talented. The So weird there so
7:05
kooky the alley. I love snow but
7:07
I think Gop Make probably has restaurants
7:09
winning the season. Yeah yeah I agree.
7:11
Yeah and then I'm Nina West. I'm
7:13
very excited for Nina West to be back.
7:15
She gave us get ready for the
7:17
spooky bitches because we we've been seen
7:19
a legendary the beginning of the spots
7:21
that the I O N El Nino
7:23
West have given us a new word.
7:26
Now. I'm on Act. Yes!
7:29
Or even between fleet Of, she gave
7:31
us a new honey and for a
7:33
while how and everyone? We don't fully
7:35
have it memorized yet, but we definitely
7:37
have the take away. Yeah, Nine com,
7:39
Heck yeah. So let give you that
7:42
get used to here and that I
7:44
now have weighed on Bialik for thoughts
7:46
and feelings on the list To Queens
7:48
are on the secret side of the
7:50
doesn't suck. I do also want to
7:52
say though I am like Low T
7:54
rooting for Vanessa dancing. The tail isn't
7:57
solely because the organization that see
7:59
his. Lane for is the S P
8:01
C A and you know we love the
8:04
animals over here. But I do want to
8:06
say I'm excited to Roxxxy Andrews back on
8:08
our screen. Love you more as I feel
8:10
like see is either. And I said this
8:13
on these Secret Society episode I feel cheated
8:15
Either make it to the top four and
8:17
and rightfully so she is like at outside
8:19
a saucer Colby probably a drag queen. Same
8:22
a drag queen yes but Sega also generally
8:24
I like it just depends on how things
8:26
and up. it's true. But like we said,
8:28
this is a non. Elimination Seattle his
8:31
any I keep forgetting every time if
8:33
anybody is struggling they're just going. Had
8:35
chug along to Milan as yes yes
8:37
yes Don't attend this little over here
8:39
Florida. So anyway the of anything else
8:41
you want to say about this season,
8:43
I don't think so. We'll definitely be
8:45
talking about it again once it airs.
8:48
But in the meantime, if you're listening,
8:50
let us know your thoughts and feelings.
8:52
Who are you excited for? Do you
8:54
like this new yeah with this new
8:56
format? And if you are not excited
8:58
for people yet I. Would invite you
9:01
to watch the entrances because they already
9:03
are up on like you tube or
9:05
whatever depending on your region blocking on
9:07
streaming stuff. but like the intro to
9:09
the episode is kind of already out.
9:11
there is a while presents channels and
9:13
when I watched that that's when the
9:15
cast really jelled for me know and
9:17
okay now I'm just really excited for
9:19
the seasons the scene because you're far
9:22
as I can all I like everyone
9:24
you know it'll be great but I
9:26
don't know how entertaining everyone will be.
9:28
but like I like the mechanism. I'm
9:30
looking forward to any to a
9:32
but I don't move on, let's
9:34
move on. Hey no A Typical
9:36
to the show. We've got the
9:39
highs and we've got a hose.
9:41
Yeah Mara drag him and will
9:43
guide. Pit. Of
9:45
despair exactly as that's basically it because
9:47
I'm going to pieces, but he gave
9:49
bullshit to share and this isn't good
9:52
news by any stretch of the imagination.
9:54
Com it comes from Mount Eyes In
9:56
in East Java in Indonesia. and if
9:59
like me, Never heard of Mount
10:01
Ida in a it's an active
10:03
volcano that contains an acidic lake
10:05
and a soul for mine food
10:07
and it has incredibly high drops.
10:09
It's like a pretty big ass
10:11
active volcano. It's known that like
10:13
her lurk liquor for describe her
10:16
give her at in a steady
10:18
sir. She is known for spewing
10:20
blue fire. Who that's kind of
10:22
years though yeah is very fear
10:24
of blue is the hardest claim
10:26
they are a angling on. of
10:28
course you might get burned. You?
10:30
yeah. But anyway, it's very known
10:32
for that, so for that reason
10:34
it does attract a lot of
10:36
tourists and National Geographic is actually
10:39
called it the most dramatic volcano
10:41
in the world of. Yup, love
10:43
that. Quite the distinction. So naturally
10:45
this draws thousands of people to
10:47
the volcano every year to gaze
10:49
on that. The beauty of it
10:51
all the drag of hit home
10:53
and out. One of those Taurus
10:55
was a thirty one year old
10:58
Chinese woman named who Ang Lee
11:00
Hong but sadly see died earlier
11:02
this month while visiting the volcano.
11:04
are paying now according to the
11:06
Toronto Sun, Wang and her husband
11:08
had climbed to the top of
11:10
Mount Eyes and with a local
11:12
tour guide. So they're basically being
11:14
brought to the top of the
11:17
mountain for her and their intention
11:19
was to watch the sunrise from
11:21
the mouth of the volcano. That
11:23
would be a beautiful experience. A
11:25
bucket list thing sure how. However,
11:27
things didn't quite go the way
11:29
they. Planned The couple were aware
11:32
of the dangers of getting
11:34
too close to the rim
11:36
of this volcano so for
11:38
most of the time they
11:40
kept their distance. But then
11:42
in one moment they decided
11:44
that they wanted to get
11:46
a photo opportunity and after
11:48
posing for a pitcher a
11:50
closer to the edge of
11:52
the volcano wang skirt hot
11:54
on something which caused her
11:56
to stumble and then caused
11:58
her to fall over. The
12:00
edge of the volcano. Yeah,
12:04
Wang fell a total of seventy
12:06
five meters which is just over
12:08
two hundred and forty six feet.
12:10
And unfortunately she died as a
12:12
result. and she didn't like a
12:14
land in you know, the mouth
12:17
of the volcano was still and
12:19
still. That is a very far
12:21
distance to fall men in a
12:23
in and unfortunately she did not
12:25
survive. What's even more harrowing about
12:27
this and this is why Think
12:29
it's like really circulating on the
12:31
internet right now is there is
12:33
the photo. Oh no
12:35
moments minutes seconds before this happened
12:37
cause she was posing for a
12:39
photo. Yeah yeah so that photo
12:42
is being circulated out there in
12:44
his chest. he er he to
12:46
see it knowing what him happened
12:48
immediately after it was taken. Ah
12:50
now it was reported that it
12:52
took rescuers more than two hours
12:54
to retrieve her body but they
12:56
were able to retrieve her body
12:58
of and and it said that
13:00
she's going to be flown back
13:02
to China and of. Course. Unfortunately,
13:04
her death has been ruled an
13:06
accident, so that's some pretty harrowing
13:08
news. Yeah, volcanoes. I really want
13:11
fuck around marijuana. Find out. No,
13:13
absolutely not. I'm in. Look, when
13:15
I'm playing people that go on
13:17
guided adventures. I mean you would
13:19
think you are in a safe
13:22
kind of environment and Iran a
13:24
guided tour shirt buds as movies.
13:26
but I'm the person that won't
13:28
even like go rollerblading down the
13:30
street because I'm certain I will
13:32
die. I have. The most intrusive thoughts
13:35
easily. I remember when we had a box
13:37
seats like into the like balcony inside his
13:39
seats at the Winter Garden Theater to see
13:41
the regular show. Oh yeah, we're I was
13:44
the one like sitting at this stage side
13:46
essentially like in the box like on the
13:48
edge of about mean the whole time we
13:50
were silly man. I kept thinking what if
13:52
I just jumped out of my seat right
13:55
now right? Like what if I just do
13:57
that Oh my god, why would want to
13:59
do that? What if I just lose control myself?
14:01
I just decided jump All of a sudden them are in the
14:03
middle of the show and than a jumper than everyone's looking. the
14:05
oh my God. What if I jump right now and then. Added
14:08
know the oh the whole time a whole
14:11
time for kind of like early back into
14:13
the days of going to see shows again
14:15
that's true that was early like I wouldn't
14:17
even may post penned up know we all
14:19
his known and on an image and I
14:21
will happen and that's the thing. Like a
14:23
few who go back to the episode A
14:25
Spooky Gables had same thing as sized. I
14:28

20:20
word could possibly describe as when I
20:22
was reading this as like is is
20:24
even real Who isn't actually happen with
20:27
an thank you? Yes, it really did
20:29
happen. Man, I do want to give
20:31
a trigger warning out of the gate.
20:33
We are going to be talking a
20:35
boat, a buse here. Sir,
20:38
just be aware of that. The
20:40
cases. More. Than that kind
20:42
of. but at at the heart of it is
20:44
really is. There is a lot of abuse in
20:46
this. is not going to be incredibly. The
20:49
script. If that else. but I just
20:51
wanted to let people know maybe don't want
20:53
to hear about that yell a okay and
20:55
lake. And if you're on the sands, maybe
20:57
just load up a few videos of skunk
20:59
loons more on your phone or has birds.
21:01
There's a reason I was talking with him
21:04
earlier today. They are cute and they trot
21:06
and what true but okay do we noted
21:08
the after the trigger warning No problem about
21:10
the for this case we're going to be
21:12
going to the land of the cookie Jumper.
21:14
Oh, doing them as wrong on Australians a
21:16
reason I was talking with him earlier today.
21:18
they. Are cute and they trot and
21:21
what true but okay do we noted
21:23
the after the trigger warning no problem
21:25
about the for this case we're going
21:27
to be going to the land of
21:29
the cookie jumper. Oh doing them as
21:31
wrong on Australian means killing our we
21:33
got me thinking he jump on the
21:35
hey I love that the coup de
21:37
sweaters having a comeback momentary now began
21:40
Ever I see people in them on
21:42
Instagram I only think of caffeine can
21:44
that's a big gap is no other
21:46
reference from is it exactly you are
21:48
half and. Cow mean I see up
21:50
in your magic of the jump on
21:52
because he jeffrey we get matters. Is
21:56
just for a lawyer for a either either their
21:58
cues you don't like them. Hope that
22:00
find the the line that led by
22:03
Malware one for a laugh old are
22:05
your one. Ironically okay to Leno. But
22:07
anyway, although we're going to the
22:09
land of the coup he jumper as
22:12
this is not going to be a
22:14
nice trip down under because we're going
22:16
to be talking about the story
22:18
of Carolyn Watson and Julian Buchwald, a
22:21
true crime case from Two thousand and
22:23
Eight that is a boat as sweet
22:25
as Vegemite which is to say a
22:28
three at all. His. Marker.
22:30
So in two thousand and eight,
22:32
twenty two year old Julian a
22:34
Buck Wild had been in a
22:36
two year long relationship with Carolyn
22:38
Watson who was seventeen years old.
22:40
Ah no A seventeen the time
22:42
that started and seventeen by the
22:44
time of they were Tuesday. By
22:46
the time they were two years
22:48
the early were worry be a
22:51
wanna roll back the tapes. That
22:53
means that he would have been
22:55
twenty and see would have been
22:57
fifteen years old are they started
22:59
dating this guy. Yes, you can have
23:01
that gap later on. Yeah, but not when
23:03
one know a knob with you know
23:05
what I mean, will absolutely I know. So
23:08
you give me a look like that, that
23:10
age gap totally fine when you know
23:12
we're talking are thirty two or forty something
23:14
like that. But when we're talking. This
23:18
here's the t. Only looks
23:20
pretty messy, you don't but
23:22
I'm not going to anyway.
23:24
Affect any age gap is
23:26
fine or two Consenting adult
23:28
money if wonders you, is
23:30
not an adult. Ah ha,
23:32
that's enough for me exists.
23:34
Yeah, yeah, yeah, move. So
23:36
anyway, Red Flag number one.
23:38
Do know that now both
23:40
Julian and Carolyn were avid
23:42
churchgoers and I guess that
23:44
may be is that is
23:46
where they met. money as
23:48
such they were remaining celibate
23:51
although they did already have
23:53
plans to get married some
23:55
day that does matter that's
23:58
called grooming yeah yeah Now
24:01
Julian hoped that they would marry as soon
24:03
as Carolyn turned 18, which is probably to
24:05
say as soon as she legally could. But
24:08
apparently, Carolyn didn't really want to marry right
24:10
away. She kind of wanted to get through
24:12
high school for... Yeah. ...figure
24:14
a couple of things out and then
24:16
maybe get married. Mm-hmm. Which is totally
24:18
fair. Yeah, sorry. I probably couldn't see,
24:20
but I was just very sassily sticking
24:22
my tongue into the side of my
24:24
mouth to hold back from weaponizing it.
24:27
Yeah. And
24:29
just like a little bit of a spoil-
24:31
well, not really, no, no spoiler alert. Okay,
24:33
oh, shit. Let's just keep going. Okay. But
24:35
basically, all of this to say, they had
24:37
plans to get married, they were not married,
24:39
they were a remaining celibate, so basically, in
24:41
the meantime, in the midst of all this,
24:44
Julian had no choice but to go according
24:46
a teenager. Mm. Now,
24:49
in March 2008, Julian
24:51
asked Carolyn's parents' permission to take her
24:53
out on a picnic. Julian's
24:56
family owned- It's kind of
24:58
a permission slip. Basically. Exactly. Now,
25:01
Julian's family owned acres and acres
25:03
of property in Gippsland in Australia.
25:05
Great. And much of their
25:08
land was really untouched natural landscape, so nobody
25:10
really had to venture off
25:12
the family property to escape
25:15
into Australia's natural beauty. Mm-hmm.
25:18
Now, with her parents' permission,
25:20
Julian began to plan a
25:22
zipper-fic date. Yes. And
25:24
Julian said that they were going to
25:26
have a picnic and then plant trees.
25:28
And then we're going to cosplay abducted
25:30
in plain sight. Too
25:35
real? Well, I'm not going to say nothing.
25:37
Oh, no. I'm just going to say- I'm just going to
25:39
say the plan was to have a picnic and plant trees,
25:42
but also to have a treasure hunt. So,
25:44
Julian had planned a treasure hunt
25:47
for Carolyn around the waterfalls, and
25:49
apparently, the prize was a handmade
25:51
wooden platter. Yeah. Who
25:54
doesn't want one of those? Yeah, he's like, what do kids like
25:56
to do with picnics? Yeah. I'm like, let's
25:58
do a treasure hunt. Yeah. On March
26:00
eighth, two thousand and eight, Julian
26:03
and Carolyn set out in Julian
26:05
car to embark on that romantic
26:07
picnic date on. While on their
26:10
way to their picnic spot, Julian
26:12
spotted an animal lying on the
26:14
side of the road a dead
26:16
one and so he decided to
26:19
stop the car and check it
26:21
out. Now, Dollars! According to some
26:23
of my sources, this wasn't necessarily
26:25
uncommon for Julianne, the he tended
26:28
to stop and exam and. Road
26:30
Kill often, so this isn't necessarily
26:32
something that would have faced Carolyn
26:35
in the slightest. Okay, however, see
26:37
did not share the same fascination
26:40
for Road Kill, so she opted
26:42
to stay in the car and
26:44
paid Julianne. End of the Road
26:47
Kill? know mine totally. But then
26:49
something terrible happened. While. Julian
26:51
was away from the vehicle.
26:53
A man dressed in all
26:55
black began to approach the
26:57
car. His face was masked
26:59
by a black bullet. Hava
27:01
and Carolyn saw him for
27:04
the first time through the
27:06
rear view mirror. Now. Carolyn
27:08
had no idea where this man
27:10
had come from. they were essentially
27:12
in the middle of nowhere, but
27:14
she had no time to react
27:16
before the man opened up with
27:19
the door and pulled her out
27:21
of the car Move. After that,
27:23
Carolyn was hog tied and than
27:25
duct tape was placed over her
27:27
mouth before she was thrown into
27:29
the back seat of Julians car
27:32
My car. Shortly after that, Carolyn
27:34
felt the car begin to move
27:36
and for hours she remained. Trapped
27:38
and lying in the backseat
27:40
of the car not knowing
27:42
what was going to happen.
27:44
That god now. After six
27:46
hours of driving, the car
27:48
eventually stop and Carolyn didn't
27:50
know where she was, but
27:53
judging by all of the
27:55
trees around, it was nowhere
27:57
near civilization. And after a
27:59
few minutes. Carolyn was pulled
28:01
out of the back seat of the
28:03
car and thrown onto the ground for
28:05
and like look I know that I
28:08
reference your cause playing a certain Netflix
28:10
true crime mad Dog or whatever but
28:12
like I don't think that should lively
28:15
this is no fucking Joe. This is
28:17
no fucking joke big as why I
28:19
gave a traitor was yeah because the
28:21
shit is real, This shit is horrifying.
28:24
Oh yeah but anyway so yeah she
28:26
was pulled out of the car she
28:28
was thrown onto the. Ground and at
28:30
this point she she was hawks high so
28:33
that like hands behind your back that's a
28:35
hard fall. Two legs tied to your hands
28:37
as well. Yeah it's a very hard to
28:40
get out of. and yet the new being
28:42
thrown down on your chessmen basically because
28:44
of the position that she was and she
28:46
was unable to move had duct tape over
28:48
her mouth. she's unable to call for help.
28:51
he had no idea where Julian was and
28:53
basically just just forced to stay still
28:55
as this masked man began to remove her
28:57
clothes like running them off her body. With
29:00
a nice and as she lay
29:02
there naked on the ground Carolyn
29:04
began to hear the sound of
29:07
a shovel penetrating the earth off
29:09
in the deaths know occur. From
29:11
what she could tell her kidnapper
29:13
was digging a hole which she
29:15
assumed was going to be meant
29:18
for her. yeah ensue panic seat
29:20
was just there listening to the
29:22
shovel digging into the earth and
29:24
being a spiritual person Carolyn began
29:26
to pray because she really believed
29:29
that this was going to be
29:31
the end of her life shorter.
29:33
But then after some time the
29:35
digging stopped and she heard the
29:38
sound of the masked man. In.
29:40
Walking away or or maybe even
29:42
driving and maybe throwing himself into
29:44
the whole right now be a
29:46
good place for have decreed that
29:49
be the ideal but now okay,
29:51
stop going away. Yeah, so is
29:53
left in the woods? No idea
29:55
what's going on. Know she's just
29:57
had this radio play and handed
29:59
out. Exact yeah, it's very
30:01
nine move now. Carolyn. Was
30:03
unable to get a false sense
30:06
of her surroundings. She had no
30:08
idea where the man had gone,
30:10
but in that moment she tried
30:12
her very best to break free
30:14
from her restraints. But try as
30:16
she may, she could not on
30:18
do the ties that were holding
30:20
her down. Sure, as Carolyn continued
30:22
to struggle to break free and
30:24
save herself, she then heard a
30:26
voice. A voice that She instantly
30:29
recognized it was Julian. And in
30:31
a week into voice she could.
30:33
Hear him calling out her name.
30:35
Now there was still duct tape
30:37
on her mouth so she couldn't
30:40
get his attention. Yeah, But eventually
30:42
she felt Julians body next to
30:44
hers. And it turns out and
30:47
Julianne was also naked and tied
30:49
up. but he was able to
30:51
speak. He didn't have duct tape
30:54
on his mouth so he began
30:56
to talk to Carolyn. And as
30:58
he was talking to her asking
31:01
if she was okay, he noticed.
31:03
That there was a knife on
31:05
the ground, the knife that this
31:07
is Tacker the kidnapper had used
31:09
to remove her clothing store likely
31:11
his. and Julian maneuvered his body
31:13
in such a way that he
31:16
could take hold of the nice
31:18
and very slowly he used it
31:20
to remove his time said. okay.
31:22
So he started with his hands
31:24
and then his speed and once
31:26
Julian was free to use the
31:28
same knife to free Carolyn, who
31:30
at this point was in a
31:32
complete state. Of shock understandably. Yeah,
31:34
Now neither one of them could have
31:37
fathom the who could have done
31:39
this and why, but there is very
31:41
little time for them to stop
31:43
and think for yeah. And like all
31:45
T. From. Remeber voters Julia right?
31:47
Yeah, well here he is in the same
31:50
situation as she is right? I mean still
31:52
not out of the woods and my mind
31:54
board right arm so I'm going on the
31:56
safe. Okay the anyway. And I mean speaking
31:59
of woods, It literally that is
32:01
where they are right now and again.
32:03
They drove for hours and hours and
32:05
hours. so they had no idea where
32:08
they were. Not according to Julianne, he
32:10
had been in the trunk the entire
32:12
time ago. She was in the backseat.
32:15
He was in the trunk, so he
32:17
was. He had no sense of their
32:19
surroundings either. A The thing is, they
32:22
knew that they needed to get away,
32:24
but Julian car was nowhere to be
32:26
found. However, there were a few items
32:28
scattered around that had. Been left
32:30
there by the kidnapper of her
32:33
at this point. Julian urged
32:35
Carolyn to grab whatever she could
32:37
end. He did the same. And
32:39
the items that they were able
32:42
to make off with to included
32:44
a sleeping bag, a toothbrush, dried
32:46
coconut, peanut butter tahini, a shovel
32:48
and that. Nice. Okay, and they
32:50
got these basically assuming that the
32:53
kidnapper was may be planning on
32:55
you know, hide an outlay and
32:57
low in the woods for a
32:59
little while. Aha oh if this
33:01
stuff was left behind, he was
33:04
probably going. to be calling back to
33:06
collect it therefore they needed to get
33:08
the fuck as far away as they
33:10
possibly could exactly and then you can
33:12
attack if you need to attack and
33:14
and potentially afterward make a delightful hamas
33:16

luxury analysis is pretty crappy stuff i'm
33:45
too old to get i'm just looking
33:47
for something to hold on to right
33:49
but i digress yeah the thing is
33:51
they were thankful to be alive but
33:53
they were lost in the woods as
33:55
were completely naked and ruff dot and
33:57
roughed up and they had no idea
33:59
how to get back. Also, keep in mind,
34:01
they're in Australia. The Australian wilderness is nothing
34:03
to be f**ked with. Australia wants to kill
34:05
you. Basically. That's the key. That's the reason
34:07
why you gotta shake out your shoes if
34:09
you're living in Australia, because something will be
34:11
in your shoe and it might kill you.
34:14
Maybe. I was watching this video a side
34:16
note, just a little point of, even though
34:18
it's not really a point of light, but
34:20
it's just, it's a little less dark than
34:22
the current situation. Yes. I saw a video
34:24
about prehistoric Australian flora
34:26
and fauna that would kill you. Whoa. Ooh,
34:28
the creatures that were in Australia back
34:30
in the day. Like you think the big
34:32
bugs and everything are freaky now? Uh-huh. You
34:34
gotta, we'll watch the video. Oh, please. Yeah.
34:36
I'll have to check that out. Yeah. And
34:39
you can probably just look it up on
34:41
YouTube. Right. Just like big Australian prehistoric creatures
34:43
looking up after the podcast. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
34:45
It might, it might be a nice like
34:47
kind of palate cleanser after all of this.
34:49
Exactly. Again, I'm just looking for something to
34:51
hold on to. Totally. But back to the
34:53
horror show. So back to the horror show.
34:55
So they run off into the woods and
34:57
they spend literally the entire day just walking
35:00
aimlessly through the wilderness. Of
35:02
course they're not walking on
35:04
any well, like, uh,
35:07
like any distinguishable paths because they
35:09
don't want to risk being tracked.
35:11
Sure. So they're really kind of
35:13
like pulling themselves through the bush.
35:15
They're pulling themselves through bushes and
35:17
branches and it's just a bad
35:19
situation. But then this bad situation
35:22
gets worse when all of a
35:24
sudden they realized like a scene
35:26
under the fucking Blair Witch Project
35:28
that they completely walked in
35:30
a circle and ended up
35:33
exactly where they had began.
35:35
No. Yeah. That is fucked
35:37
up. That is
35:39
like ultimate desperation kicking in.
35:42
Exactly. So they kind of
35:44
realized this, but then also in that
35:46
same moment realized that they just had
35:49
to keep going and hopefully go in
35:51
a different direction this time. So back
35:53
in the woods, they went praying that
35:55
they would not be rediscovered by
35:58
the kidnapper. Now,
36:00
meanwhile, Carolyn and Julian's
36:03
absence was immediately felt.
36:06
Julian's mom had anticipated the couple
36:08
to return at 3 p.m. because
36:10
that's when they said they would
36:12
be returning. However, when
36:14
3 o'clock came and went, Julian's
36:17
mother began to worry. So she
36:19
decided to go out onto their
36:21
property and basically just stalk the
36:24
yard, kind of walk along the
36:26
roadway just to try and look
36:28
for any sign of the
36:30
couple's return, like Julian's car coming
36:33
down the road. The
36:35
thing is though, as Julian's
36:37
mom walked the property, she
36:39
stumbled upon something sticking out
36:41
of their fence. And
36:43
it was a note. And when
36:46
she opened it, she was
36:48
horrified to discover that it was
36:50
a note explaining that Carolyn and
36:52
Julian had been kidnapped by
36:55
a satanic cult. What? Yeah.
36:57
Bitch. I mean, usually you'd find
36:59
a note like that and be
37:01
like, okay. But given what
37:04
we know just went down, all I got
37:06
is bitch. And
37:09
given the fact that she is
37:11
already worried that they are late,
37:14
she finds this basically ransom note
37:16
on the perimeter of the property.
37:18
Rancid ransom note. Yeah. There
37:22
are bigger, more full descriptions of
37:24
what this note entailed, although I
37:26
couldn't find anything in any primary
37:28
sources. So I'm not going to
37:31
repeat much of what was allegedly
37:33
said in the note. However, the
37:35
note did have various satanic symbols
37:38
etched all over it. And
37:40
the note essentially warned Julian's
37:42
family not to go to
37:44
the police. The
37:47
note claimed that if they contacted
37:49
the police, Carolyn would be sexually
37:52
assaulted and then burned alive.
37:54
However, the note said if
37:57
they remained silent, that
37:59
Julian would be murdered. and Carolyn
38:01
would eventually be returned to them
38:04
unharmed. Now, despite
38:06
this very serious threat, Julian's
38:09
mother immediately contacted the police and
38:11
girl, I would do exactly the
38:13
same. If I'm getting a note
38:15
telling me not to contact the
38:17
police, it's probably gonna
38:19
be the first thing I do. Yeah,
38:22
that's a big fuck you to the
38:24
no writer. Exactly. Yeah. The thing is,
38:26
after she contacted the police, the couple
38:29
were immediately reported missing and
38:31
a search for Carolyn and Julian was
38:33
on. Mm-hmm. Now,
38:36
the police started looking around the
38:38
Buckwald's property first because that's where
38:40
the couple was supposed to be
38:42
picnicking. Sure. But like I said
38:45
earlier, their property was huge, like
38:47
big, big, big, vast open
38:49
spaces. So this search
38:51
proved to be difficult and fruitless.
38:53
The property was so vast full
38:55
of bushland terrain that it was
38:57
just not easy to navigate and
39:00
a lot of it had to
39:02
be navigated on foot. Now,
39:04
at this time, the police had
39:07
already learned that Carolyn's family had
39:09
actually received a similar note to
39:11
the Buckwald's 10 days
39:14
earlier. Really? Yeah,
39:16
so this was the second note. Carolyn's
39:19
father discovered the first note on
39:21
their front porch and it was
39:23
handwritten and
39:25
it warned them to, quote, stay away or
39:28
they would make their lives miserable, end quote,
39:30
and it would also state that they would,
39:32
quote, destroy their family.
39:34
Okay. The letter was,
39:37
of course, reported to the police, but
39:39
at the time, the police basically just
39:41
deemed that it seemed like a product
39:43
of a practical joke and nothing else
39:46
was really done about it. Real funny.
39:48
Uh-huh. Okay. Now, of course,
39:51
These two notes were quickly linked
39:53
and a handwriting analysis determined that
39:55
both notes were written by the
39:57
same person. Yeah. It
40:00
looked a little bit deeper into
40:02
the sea Tannic symbols on the
40:04
notes. It revealed a possible suspect
40:06
and a possible motive as they
40:08
were linked back to ac panic
40:10
neo nazi group called of the
40:12
Order of the Nine and Goals
40:15
or the Oh and A or
40:17
the Oh Nine A I think
40:19
I've heard I need for it's
40:21
like vaguely familiar in the Spooky
40:23
you t were sure? Yeah, probably
40:25
when looking up live. Weird.
40:28
Called some said like definitely yeah
40:30
because this this group was founded
40:32
in the Uk during like the
40:34
nineteen sixties into the seventies and
40:37
although they've remained pretty small, they
40:39
have solely been spreading throughout the
40:41
world ever since. I'm from what
40:44
I can tell the Oh in
40:46
A is not really aligned with
40:48
any other satanist groups because by
40:51
a large most satanist aren't not
40:53
see ah ha And also most
40:55
other say this groups usually advocate.
40:58
Free well like a little as a new
41:00
for usually pretty chill all t yeah they're
41:02
not about all that other stars with you
41:04
know some of them lead you to believe
41:06
or for the sake of like. Though
41:08
walls religiously speak and exactly as my
41:11
it's not that the they could be
41:13
a little troll a holiday and we
41:15
love for that. Yeah now the thing
41:17
is, although a lot of Satan is
41:19
groups, like I said advocate free well
41:21
the oh in A and does not.
41:24
they advocate a spiritual path in which
41:26
practitioners are required. Not. Encouraged
41:28
to required to break societal
41:30
taboos by isolating themselves from
41:33
society, committing crimes, embracing political
41:35
extremism and violence, and carrying
41:37
out acts of human sacrifices.
41:40
Yeah, Okay, so it naturally
41:42
after analyzing the letters sent
41:44
to the families of the
41:47
missing couple, the police believed
41:49
that perhaps they were kidnapped
41:51
by the sadness of the
41:54
Oh and A and the
41:56
very real. Fear now was
41:58
that Carolyn and. The and
42:00
might have been kidnapped to be
42:02
made into some sort of human
42:05
sacrifice. Which. Knock.
42:07
To no, Absolutely not as yeah.
42:11
I know about take right? Yeah, a
42:13
yeah, I'm worried. I really with an
42:15
honor novel. Am I mean in some
42:17
cultures at some point in time, being
42:20
a human sacrifice was very honorable? Yeah,
42:22
but not in this moment. Not at
42:24
all. Ah, now for days the police
42:26
continue to work around the clock searching
42:28
for any sign of Carolyn and Julianne.
42:31
But with each passing day, there were
42:33
no signs of either one of them
42:35
and they were no closer to. Being
42:37
found, the weren't any even clues that
42:40
we could find. It was just like
42:42
they completely disappeared without a trace. Sox?
42:44
Okay, yeah, the thing is though, the
42:46
fact that they couldn't find any trace
42:49
of them is largely due to the
42:51
fact that they weren't looking in the
42:53
right places because they had no idea
42:56
that Julian and Carolyn had been taken
42:58
to the wilderness six hours away our
43:00
the house core. Yeah, but even still
43:03
have a longer, Carolyn and Julian remained
43:05
missing. the more the police and. Unfortunately,
43:07
they're fake it week and unable to
43:10
escape. yeah, quite literally naked and afraid
43:12
he one hundred per se. Ah, this
43:14
is. Yeah, this is exactly that he
43:16
noted the show. but this is the
43:19
real deal. Yeah, like fuck that show
43:21
it by comparison. Yeah this. yeah. and
43:23
those people usually people who want to
43:26
be there to enter their by joy
43:28
and we are comparing and it's normally
43:30
yeah. Now Julian told Carolyn that they
43:32
were likely kidnapped by satanists. And.
43:35
Shadows the pair took the most
43:37
rocket Roots are. They continued to
43:39
take the most rugged routes through
43:41
the forest in an attempt to
43:43
remain hidden by now as their
43:45
skin was burned and blistered from
43:48
the sun. But this was also
43:50
fall in Australia so the temperatures
43:52
at night time tended to drop
43:54
and it became very cold and
43:56
Carolyn and Julian without any clothing
43:58
and just a sleeping. Ig struggled
44:01
to stay warm of
44:03
now on more than
44:05
one occasion Julian try
44:07
to suggest that maybe
44:09
they should have sex
44:11
to stay warm. Okay,
44:13
but. Despite. His prodding
44:16
heroin refused on their fourth a
44:18
night in the woods. So four
44:20
days into this guy and said
44:22
to her that he didn't think
44:25
that they were going to make
44:27
it out alive. he was pretty
44:29
sure that they were going to
44:31
die from the cold. So he
44:33
told the Carolyn that they should
44:36
marry quote in the eyes of
44:38
God as a symbolic gesture before
44:40
they die or we should have
44:42
sex as well before we do.
44:44
Is also allow for the warm
44:47
right. but every get married in
44:49
the eye of god oh on
44:51
some made our relations or headache
44:53
of getting my dick war right
44:55
and wasting a bunch of energy
44:58
and burn cowardly right gray. But
45:00
we can do all of that
45:02
before we die. That a person
45:04
that's basically what he's proposing yea
45:06
or something I target has sort
45:09
of the about. The
45:11
thing is that despite this, Grooming.
45:15
Carolyn refused see express that she
45:17
did not want to go against
45:19
her parents' wishes she didn't wanna
45:21
get married in the woods or
45:23
yeah, the I have guy know
45:25
and not the moment. Yeah, we're
45:28
still holding out faith like see
45:30
believe that God would say that
45:32
The Senses barrister for Perthshire Now
45:34
after two more days of walking
45:36
around in the woods, Caroline's prayers
45:38
would be answered of her shortly
45:41
after stumbling out of the woods
45:43
into a clear. and the pair
45:45
were discovered by a farmer
45:47
who immediately help them get
45:49
to safety that's great they
45:51
were saved carolyn and julian
45:54
called their families who were
45:56
elated to hear from them
45:58
to know that they were
46:00
okay, at least, you know, okay
46:03
in the sense that they were not dead
46:05
or murdered or sacrificed. And
46:07
after being checked out at the hospital,
46:09
the two families were reunited. Now
46:12
the fact that Carolyn and Julian
46:14
were alive was also like very
46:16
good news for the police, because
46:18
that means they didn't have a
46:20
homicide case on their hands. However,
46:22
it was still up to them
46:25
to try and figure out what
46:27
had happened to Carolyn and Julian.
46:29
So shortly after their return, the
46:31
police asked to speak with each
46:33
of them separately. Yeah, and they're
46:35
like, you're alive. That's great. You're
46:37
still a groomer. Yeah. There's
46:39
that part. Right. Not
46:41
that we wish you dead. We just wish you better.
46:43
But you're kind of a creep. You're
46:45
just, we wish you not creepy. Exactly.
46:48
Not traumatizing people. How about that? Yeah.
46:51
Yeah. Anyway. Now
46:53
during this interview process, Carolyn explained exactly
46:55
what had happened. And for the most
46:58
part, Julian's story was the same, save
47:00
for his knowledge about the Satanists who
47:02
kidnapped them. Because if you remember, he
47:04
told Carolyn that he believed that they
47:07
were kidnapped by Satanists. Yeah. The thing
47:09
is, at first the police believed
47:12
him because there was a letter that was
47:14
found at Carolyn's parents. Sure, yeah. But then
47:16
when they gave it another thought, they began
47:18
to wonder, how could Julian
47:20
have known about the Satanists if he
47:22
hadn't been shown the letter? Right.
47:25
Because it's true his parents received
47:27
the same sort of threatening letter
47:30
from the Satanists. Yeah. But
47:33
that was discovered after he and Carolyn
47:35
went missing. So in theory, he should
47:37
have no idea about these notes. And
47:39
what year is this again? Okay.
47:43
So like post-Satanic panic.
47:45
Very post. Okay. Yeah.
47:48
But still kind of riding on that fear. Oh, 100%. Yeah.
47:51
I mean, that fear never really went away. Especially
47:54
for some people. Yeah. Okay. So
47:56
anyway, they're just kind of like, this is weird. So let's
47:58
have a- another little sit-down
48:01
with Julian. Yeah. So that's what
48:03
the police did. They ended up
48:05
sitting him down and started asking
48:07
him more questions. And at
48:09
first Julian stuck to his story, but
48:11
after being pressed a little further by
48:13
the police, he quickly
48:15
gave up and he decided
48:18
to be honest. Really? So
48:20
according to Julian, he
48:22
had staged the entire kidnapping himself.
48:24
Motherfucker, I knew it! And he
48:26
did it in an attempt to
48:28
convince Carolyn to marry
48:33
and or have sex with
48:36
him. Motherfucker! Yeah. You have
48:38
no game. Your bullshit is
48:41
transparent. I
48:43
wanted to think better. I wanted to
48:45
think that I was being a bitch. Nope. You
48:47
were right. I am a
48:49
bitch, but also, ooh. Yeah, isn't
48:51
this fucked up? Oh my god,
48:53
I'm turning into like a whisper troll.
48:55
I just like, I can't. I can't.
48:58
I can see the steam. How much
49:01
rolliness is just coming through? But
49:03
yeah, he did all of this
49:05
just because he wanted to have
49:07
sex. There were never
49:10
any Satanists and Julian had
49:12
written the notes and he
49:14
just faked everything else.
49:16
Oh my god. When Carolyn was
49:18
attacked by the man in the
49:21
mask, it was him. Yeah. It
49:23
was him the whole entire time.
49:25
Uh huh. Now, prior
49:28
to March 8th, which would have been
49:30
the day they went missing, the
49:32
day, well, missing, I don't know. She
49:34
went missing. Yeah. He didn't. Exactly. But
49:36
prior to March 8th, Julian had actually
49:38
strategically placed the roadkill along the route
49:40
that he knew that he would be
49:42
taking so that he would have an
49:44
excuse to get out of the car.
49:46
Just go out and pee! Yeah. You
49:48
fucking psychopath. Right? No. Oh my god.
49:50
He had to gawk at roadkill. Of
49:53
course. Because that was more believable. Of
49:55
course. Because it's a movie. Yeah. But
49:57
basically when he got out of the
49:59
car, he dressed as a kidnapper,
50:01
and he attacked Carolyn. He then
50:03
drove them out to the woods,
50:05
and when Carolyn heard him digging
50:07
a hole in the ground, he
50:10
wasn't digging a grave. Instead, he
50:12
was digging a hole to dispose
50:14
of evidence, which consisted of their
50:16
torn clothing. A map of
50:18
the area they were in was also
50:22
buried in this hole. Motherfucker.
50:24
And Julian's car was never
50:26
stolen, instead he just parked
50:28
it far away out of
50:30
sight. He stashed it. Motherfucker.
50:33
So, smell it on him. As
50:35
you already know, in reality,
50:37
they were never really lost.
50:41
Julian knew exactly where they were
50:43
the entire time, and he forced
50:45
Carolyn to walk aimlessly in literal
50:47
circles in an attempt to break
50:49
her down and convince her to
50:52
have sex with him. That's
50:54
how pathetic you are! You can't
50:57
even get sex the normal way!
50:59
You've gotta do all that shit,
51:01
right? You disgusting pigfucker!
51:03
Plus, the thing is, he already
51:06
knows that this person who he's
51:08
chosen to be in a relationship
51:10
with doesn't want to have sex
51:12
until she's married and she's 17,
51:14
so obviously she's not ready to
51:16
get married. So you, sir, you
51:18
22 year old sir,
51:20
like, groomer. This isn't working
51:23
for you, just break up. Yeah,
51:25
because clearly,
51:27
you're Matthew McConaughey and
51:29
Day Houston confused, and you keep
51:31
getting older and they'll just stay
51:33
the same age, so you can
51:35
move on, but you shouldn't, because
51:37
you suck, and you deserve nothing.
51:40
Your dick deserves to fall off. And
51:43
still, you should be able to get no pleasure.
51:46
Because you don't need a dick to get pleasure.
51:48
Mama, there are many things you can do. I
51:50
want you to have nothing. I want
51:52
your prostate to dry up and turn to
51:54
dust. Poop out your prostate. I want
51:57
you, absolutely, I want you to feel every inch
51:59
of it. And then I want to
52:01
turn into dust after comes out you're like all
52:03
that for that to turn into dust right yes
52:05
Because you deserve it 100% so yeah
52:07
the entire time they're in the woods He knew exactly
52:09
where they were he could have taken them gotten them
52:12
out of the woods in Any
52:14
moment that he wanted to but
52:16
instead he he led her on
52:18
for six days almost an entire
52:20
week But then Julian
52:22
realized that Carolyn wasn't going to
52:25
break her celibacy So he basically
52:27
gave up and then discreetly led
52:29
her out of the wood. He
52:31
did everything but go come on And
52:34
I'm sure he probably does that yeah point
52:36
come on right come on and also it
52:38
probably goes without saying But all of the
52:41
items that the quote-unquote kidnapper left behind Were
52:44
planted by Julian because he didn't want
52:46
them to actually starve to death so
52:48
he gave them some rations Yeah, sure
52:50
and also I guess oral health is
52:52
really important to him because there's also
52:54
toothbrush of course but anyway Now
52:58
that the truth had come out
53:00
everyone was completely shocked Mm-hmm, and
53:02
it took no time at all
53:05
for the police to formally arrest
53:07
Julian who was charged with kidnapping
53:09
and making a false report Mm-hmm
53:12
now shortly after his arrest
53:14
Julian was released on bail
53:18
Yeah, okay, and although he'd most certainly
53:20
be facing jail time He wouldn't have
53:22
to start serving any of that time
53:25
until the date of his sentencing which
53:27
would be scheduled for the fall of
53:30
2009 oh great well that just gives him a few more
53:33
months to appear on an episode of to catch a predator
53:35
Yeah, oh the thing is
53:38
when the day of his sentencing
53:40
came Julian buckwald was nowhere to
53:43
be found. He did not show
53:45
up at court of
53:47
course Julian's lawyers defended him in
53:49
his absence stating that he lacked
53:52
empathy because he suffered from a
53:54
pervasive Development disorder
53:56
however the judge really wasn't on the
53:59
side of the defense and ended
54:01
up sentencing Julian to seven years
54:03
and nine months in jail for
54:06
kidnapping, making a false report, and
54:08
now for jumping bail. Great. Now,
54:10
after his sentencing, the police tried
54:13
to locate Julian, but no one
54:15
had any idea where he had
54:17
gone. He
54:20
was on the run. And hopefully he
54:22
just went back into that hole that
54:24
he dug. Right? Yeah. That
54:26
would be very poetic. That's not exactly what happened
54:29
though. The Australian authorities would soon
54:31
learn that Julian Buckwald had
54:33
been detained in Singapore after
54:35
trying to flee the country.
54:37
Okay. So it turns
54:40
out Julian had been able to
54:42
secure a fake Indian passport and
54:44
used it to try and get
54:46
out of Australia. So
54:48
he went to the airport with this
54:50
fake passport to try and get into
54:53
India. And in an
54:55
attempt to look less Caucasian, Julian
54:57
dyed his hair and his eyebrows
54:59
jet black and then covered
55:01
himself in fake tan to try
55:03
and achieve a darker complexion. Basically,
55:05
he put himself up in brown
55:07
face. Yeah. Like an
55:09
asshole. Wow. As if you
55:12
couldn't make yourself more of
55:14
a disgusting piece of shit. Yeah. He
55:16
found a way. He did. There
55:18
you go. Now, this disguise seemed
55:20
to fool the Australian airport authorities because
55:22
he was let through and he was
55:24
allowed to go on the plane and
55:26
he was on his way to India.
55:28
However, when he landed in India, the
55:30
authorities in India were like, no,
55:33
honey. Yeah. Nah. They were like,
55:35
you can take that elsewhere. Yeah.
55:39
They saw through his disguise right away.
55:41
So they denied him entry into the
55:43
country and sent him back
55:45
to Australia. And on this trip
55:47
back, he stopped in Singapore and
55:49
that's where he was detained. And
55:51
then shortly after that, he was
55:54
basically extradited back to Australia where
55:56
he was immediately carted off to
55:58
jail. Yay! Okay.
56:02
For this, for trying to flee the
56:04
country, Julian received an additional six months
56:06
of prison time. Oh, okay. Which
56:09
seems pretty lenient, because that seems
56:11
like a pretty serious offense. Right?
56:13
Okay. But anyway, it said that
56:15
his intention was to go to Germany to
56:17
live with his family, because
56:19
Julian was actually German. He was born
56:22
in Germany, although his family, when he
56:24
was just a baby, moved to Australia.
56:26
So Australia is basically the only place
56:28
he ever really knew, because that's
56:31
where he was raised, but he
56:33
wasn't actually a Australian
56:35
citizen. Okay, I get what you
56:37
mean. Yeah. Now, in
56:40
2011, Julian did try to appeal his
56:42
sentence, saying that he felt that it
56:44
was excessive, however, given that Julian could
56:46
have been locked away for 25 years
56:48
for the crimes that he committed, she
56:50
should have. The Court of Appeals considered
56:52
that seven and a half years was
56:55
pretty fair, and they denied his request
56:57
for an appeal. They're like, in fact,
56:59
the Court of Appeals wants to say,
57:01
suck it, Julian. Exactly. Yeah.
57:05
Now, in 2014, the Immigration
57:07
and Border Protection Department in
57:09
Australia informed Julian that his
57:12
permanent residency visa was currently
57:14
under review. And
57:16
despite the fact that he
57:18
lived in Australia his entire
57:20
life, Julian never bothered to
57:23
apply for citizenship, like full
57:25
citizenship. Okay. And
57:27
so shortly after this review,
57:29
his visa was canceled.
57:32
So when Julian was released from
57:34
prison, he was deported to Germany,
57:37
having never been there, having never
57:39
lived there, not knowing a lick
57:41
of German. And you know what?
57:44
For some people, I would feel
57:46
for them. Like,
57:48
you know, people who grew up
57:50
in the US, you know, who
57:53
come from immigrant families and
57:55
have issues with citizenship and get
57:57
shipped out. Like that is, that's...
58:00
fucked up and terrifying for people in a lot of
58:02
cases. Yeah, not a good situation. It's broken. No.
58:05
Oh, exactly. That's broken fucked. Exactly.
58:08
It really is. But in
58:11
this case, I have very little humanity left
58:13
in my system for this person. I know,
58:15
right? You know, like, I mean, there's a
58:17
base level of humanity there. Yeah. But
58:20
he can... But to quote Tiffany New
58:22
York Pollard, you can choke. You
58:24
can choke. That's it. Like,
58:27
I feel bad for his family, his parents,
58:29
his sister, everybody who is... Living in Australia.
58:31
All those people also haven't been associated with
58:33
him. Ooh, that sucks. Exactly. But
58:37
anyway, he was sent back to Germany,
58:39
and we really don't know what happened
58:41
to him after that. Well, if you're
58:44
listening, get fucked. And
58:46
not in the pleasurable Berlin kind of way,
58:48
you know what I mean? Yeah. Get
58:51
bent, basically. Exactly. Yeah,
58:53
get bent and then fuck. No, not even that. That
58:55
can be fun in a Berlin kind of way. Anyway.
58:58
You get what I mean. Fuck
59:01
you. Now, as far as Carolyn is concerned,
59:03
I think we can all agree that she
59:05
has suffered enough. Yeah. She's never
59:07
really spoken publicly about her experiences,
59:09
and that is absolutely okay. Yup.
59:12
She was a kid when this
59:14
happened, so she deserves her privacy,
59:16
and I really just hope that
59:18
she's doing well. But
59:20
with that being said, that is
59:22
the horrifying true story of Carolyn Watson
59:25
and Julian Buckwald. And can I also just
59:27
throw that out there? I've said a lot
59:29
of shit about this guy. I
59:31
also hope that from this, he can
59:33
learn and become a really good person.
59:35
Maybe he'll fuck this guy, but I
59:37
just hope that he has a turning
59:39
point and starts to put good into
59:41
the world because that would be what
59:43
one should do next. Yeah. You're
59:46
lucky to be out there in the world as it is. Exactly.
59:48
So the least you can do is some fucking good. Yeah. So
59:51
offset all the awful things you've done. For the world's
59:53
sake. Yeah. Hopefully he's learned his
59:55
fucking lesson. Yeah. And
59:57
on that note, I'm going to thank my source. Thanks

1:04:46
has seen on back to Nineteen
1:04:48
Seventy Nine in the community of
1:04:50
Rowley Regis which is a small
1:04:52
community even just town. Honestly for
1:04:54
him to be specific and will
1:04:56
say that because I'm from a
1:04:59
village and that should mean something
1:05:01
to harm but it's a small
1:05:03
town and near the city of
1:05:05
Birmingham in West Midlands England. Yeah,
1:05:07
I. A bid to those of you who
1:05:09
that matters something to. very ago when I
1:05:11
think of the West Midlands, I just think
1:05:14
of Ginny Lemon from Drag Race Season to
1:05:16
Use Air. She's from the As Yes, he
1:05:18
is an absolute bastards of a drag queen
1:05:20

1:05:22
West Midlands she said does that a Us
1:05:24
Only serious for a minute. Road.
1:05:26
Resist lovely community isn't But as
1:05:28
I was learning about it I
1:05:30

1:05:39
a out Bell end of the
1:05:41
year statue. Yeah

1:05:45
odd it was in honor of the
1:05:48
person nominated bell end of the year
1:05:50
by whoever a decided upon enemy. Look
1:05:52
I agree with them but it was
1:05:55
to honor Vladimir Putin and. His
1:05:57
invasion of Ukraine ah
1:05:59

1:06:28
I want to serve. For a community
1:06:31
so small it made it's way onto the Wikipedia
1:06:33
page acid I mean that's a good media has
1:06:35
as good sense of humor and yeah absolutely what
1:06:37
I mean. I will say there are some people
1:06:40
in the communities I want to change the name
1:06:42

1:06:44

1:07:12
and damn anyway i've proven
1:07:14
is a total bell and
1:07:16
but. Ah sorry. This
1:07:18
is where we are. A quaint
1:07:21
town with a big bell and
1:07:23
as remind you we are in
1:07:25
Nineteen seventy Nine, where it's just
1:07:27
after the New Year. A woman
1:07:29
named Gene Kingly had a rather
1:07:32
strange encounter at her home on
1:07:34
Bluestone Walk. So let's zoom an
1:07:36
admittedly through not a time of
1:07:38
biographical information out there on Gene
1:07:40
Anglia Abs. And that's kind of
1:07:43
understandable though she was a private
1:07:45
citizen, so whatever. But judging by
1:07:47
heard. Death stayed. I can
1:07:49
tell it's he was born
1:07:51
in and around nineteen Twenty
1:07:53
two allegedly Look I and
1:07:55
I say allegedly because. in
1:07:58
an article where everyone else has she said
1:08:00
they say she's 43 so I don't call
1:08:02
no names. Someone's age is their own business
1:08:04
and you know you can keep that biography
1:08:06
secret if you want to. But I'm going
1:08:09
to say there's some contention. Yeah, she was
1:08:11
being a little complimentary that day. I did
1:08:13
find an obituary though from 1982 that said
1:08:15
that she was 60 years old when she
1:08:18
died. So I'm just saying. Maybe she aged
1:08:20
really fast. Exactly. But anyway,
1:08:22
given what we know with the
1:08:24
calendar around the time of the
1:08:27
encounter in 1979, she
1:08:29
would have been approximately 57-ish. Not
1:08:32
43, but for the sake of fun, let's
1:08:34
say 43. At that point she was living
1:08:36
at her home in Rolly Regis with her
1:08:38
own bellend named Cyril and had been for
1:08:40
the last 9 years. That
1:08:44
places them moving into the home
1:08:46
in and around 1970. Are you getting
1:08:49
all this investigative math by the way? I am. Now,
1:08:52
Gene worked at a factory making
1:08:55
sound proofing for cars while Cyril
1:08:57
worked at a place called Cement
1:08:59
Works, which depending on where you
1:09:01
are could either be a bathhouse or an
1:09:03
actual factory. Turns out it was a factory.
1:09:05
Okay, it really is 50-50. Yeah,
1:09:08
or like a cement yard, whatever a cement
1:09:10
plant is called. He worked where the cement
1:09:12
came from. Right. He was a cement maker.
1:09:14
Exactly. And I
1:09:17
don't know if they had kids, but I can confirm
1:09:19
that they had a dog. An Alsatian,
1:09:21
which turns out is an old
1:09:23
way to say German Shepherd. And
1:09:26
the name, we don't love it in
1:09:28
the current culture, but it was a dog
1:09:30
named Hobo. Oh, h-o-b-o. But
1:09:34
see, this probably would have been the time when the
1:09:36
littlest Hobo was a thing. Oh, yeah. Right. And that
1:09:38
was a dog, right? That was. And it was
1:09:40
a German Shepherd. Okay. That's why. Yeah, I watched
1:09:42
it when I was a little kid. Look at
1:09:44
the investigative journalism coming from over me now. I
1:09:47
know. My God. Anyway, at
1:09:49
the time, just so you have it in your mind's eye, in
1:09:51
1979, Hobo was two and a half years old. A
1:09:55
little baby. Yeah. Anyway, the home that they lived
1:09:57
in was one of few homes that was on
1:09:59
the way. Small state which according to
1:10:01
Gene was surrounded by war is making
1:10:04
a like a pretty quiet existence for
1:10:06
the to, although maybe not so much
1:10:08
following the morning of January Fourth of
1:10:10
Nineteen Seventy Nine. When the events of
1:10:13
the case take place in some let's
1:10:15
get into it as yeah, That day
1:10:17
on January Fourth, Nineteen Seventy Nine it
1:10:20
was a cold and dark snow covered
1:10:22
morning on Bluestone Walk and at about
1:10:24
seventy Am a Gene had started heard
1:10:26
Bays by senior husband Zero off for
1:10:29
his day of. Work She was standing
1:10:31
at the back door with their dog hobo
1:10:33
by her side. She waved him off the
1:10:35
back door phased out onto the road. Poker
1:10:37
games are homeless on an estate so they
1:10:40
all the more like the only home like
1:10:42
in the yard. So I do with the
1:10:44
location. She's like at the back door the
1:10:46
house but she's actually facing the road with
1:10:49
the dog waving at her husband as he
1:10:51
drives away. I get it. Yeah yeah, sometimes
1:10:53
the houses are built before the what the
1:10:55
first excuse me at the of times the
1:10:58
houses were built before the roads were. And
1:11:00
then the road, so makes sense. Yeah,
1:11:03
exactly yeah. just like an wonderland that's
1:11:05
right edge toilets anyway. so ah, they're
1:11:07
doing that. It's all cute cereals. On
1:11:09
his way out at seven o'clock again
1:11:11
it's dark and at this point Gene
1:11:13
is like it seems a little extra
1:11:16
up right in the yard. Okay, she
1:11:18
thinks that maybe Cyril had just left
1:11:20
them light on the carport or something
1:11:22
like that because they do have the
1:11:24
slate little home with i'm touched Car
1:11:27
poor not he and it's a cute
1:11:29
little by little mermaid. A little
1:11:31
hood it driveway here exactly. So
1:11:33
essentially Gene is things that you
1:11:35
know it's and left on. so
1:11:37
she decides he's gonna go up
1:11:39
there and turn it off. However
1:11:41
when seen steps out into the
1:11:43
backyard t a walk over to
1:11:45
the carport and turn the light
1:11:47
off isn't she realizes that the
1:11:49
life that is shining and the
1:11:51
backyard isn't actually from the car
1:11:53
part. In fact the carport light
1:11:55
is completely turned off. So Genes
1:11:57
pretty puzzled year yeah like seemed.
1:12:00
For hims like the switch is in
1:12:02
place so she starts back for or
1:12:04
home with Hobo by her side and
1:12:06
was at this time the team notice
1:12:08
that in our front yard a was
1:12:10
suddenly being overtaken by the psych warm
1:12:13
orange colored lights that was coming from
1:12:15
seemingly somewhere nearby but also just kind
1:12:17
of like know where he was just
1:12:19
a serial and filling up everything and
1:12:21
air as this took place. genius or
1:12:24
the high tell a doctorate doorstep with
1:12:26
Hobo intel because the light was starting
1:12:28
to morphed from like a warm. Light
1:12:30
to a white lie to and use
1:12:32
a slight. I don't want to see
1:12:34
where this ends up now because it
1:12:36
is a day before college. Engine lights,
1:12:38
the even a thing. And also this
1:12:40
is her property. This is her home
1:12:42
You get pretty used to. Like the
1:12:44
light cycles over. Yeah it's first thing
1:12:46
in the morning. Yeah it's fucking January.
1:12:48
it's seven am. Some there are like
1:12:51
their are other. No
1:12:53
signs of the sun coming out for
1:12:55
a little while. at least know Anyway,
1:12:57
Gene is dislike seen her front yard.
1:13:00
Being overtaken by this morphing light,
1:13:02
she goes back to her doorstep
1:13:04
with Hobo and she's i try
1:13:06
to go back in the home
1:13:09
but as soon as he tries
1:13:11
to walk ins he notices something
1:13:13
coming in the open door behind
1:13:15
her. Blue yeah and was followed
1:13:17
by this like inexplicable sound which
1:13:20
she described as going Z z
1:13:22
Z and the sound source provincially
1:13:24
would reveal itself as being these
1:13:26
three beings floating in from outside
1:13:28
into teams home blowing. In when
1:13:31
Jean described as quote a brilliant
1:13:33
light that seem to float about
1:13:35
a foot above the floor and
1:13:37
quote so they're floating. and
1:13:40
leading lady and glow leaving their
1:13:42
own light like a good drag
1:13:44
queen i mean let's say our
1:13:46
enemies are you know anyway so
1:13:48
according to gene as they floated
1:13:50
in to her homes lounge and
1:13:52
i love the vibe that one
1:13:55
creates by calling their living room
1:13:57
allow ah ended up ah but
1:13:59
a slow into her lounge
1:14:01
and she notices that the
1:14:03
beings are winged which explain
1:14:05
the flowing. Yes. She's
1:14:08
awestruck totally. Mouth literally
1:14:10
just hanging open. Yes
1:14:12
we know this
1:14:14
because she gave like a first-hand account
1:14:16
like there's like a multi-page like written
1:14:19
from first-person perspective like account of what
1:14:21
happened. I love that. Yeah as Jean
1:14:23
said she is just sitting there like
1:14:25
a gaze and
1:14:27
a dog. Aha. A jig is in
1:14:29
a dog having no sense. It does
1:14:31
though. Print it. Yeah. Print it. She's
1:14:33
like, would you like a cup of
1:14:35
tea? She's like, not the guys. And
1:14:37
she's a dog. All the fairies are
1:14:39
in town. Baby three fairies just enter
1:14:41
your living room seven in the morning
1:14:43
what's gonna happen. Uh-huh. Anyway luckily
1:14:46
she had the wherewithal as all of this
1:14:48
is happening to grab a weapon just in
1:14:50
case she had to you know protect herself.
1:14:52
Sure. Harth and home one knows. Anyway she
1:14:55
grabbed a steel sink out of the kitchen
1:14:57
in case you know she had to
1:14:59
bash them. But a steel sink? Yeah.
1:15:01
The whole ass sink? Well like like
1:15:03
a movable tub or something? No. I
1:15:06
don't know maybe she's just got real wild and
1:15:08
ripped the whole sink out of the fucking wall.
1:15:10
I don't think it's that deep. I mean I
1:15:13
wouldn't put a pastor but we're
1:15:15
in the UK I'm imagining anything like a
1:15:17
wash basin. Okay yeah. Yeah something like that.
1:15:19
So anyway they grab a steel sink out
1:15:22
of the kitchen in case she needed to
1:15:24
defend herself in the lounge. Yes. Where
1:15:27
the magic happens. Yeah and the fights, the
1:15:29
brawls. And the fuck lights turn on. Yeah.
1:15:31
Anyway according to Jean she then
1:15:34
looked at her trusty dog Hobo hoping that you
1:15:36
know he would defend her but Hobo
1:15:38
was just dealing with his own shit. Yeah.
1:15:40
Hobo's like fuck this shit I'm out. Hobo
1:15:42
imported his dog bowl swaying with his hair
1:15:48
standing up like a hedgehog. Oh
1:15:50
like static or something? Yeah and
1:15:52
he was like usually
1:15:55
never off-putter scared by anything according
1:15:57
to Jean but in this case he was pretty...
1:16:00
and he freaked out. Just kind of keeping to
1:16:02
himself. She said it was like he was drugged,
1:16:05
and thankfully he wasn't, but he just laid down on
1:16:07
the floor and just laid there stiff with his eyes
1:16:09
open just observing. Oh my gosh, that would be... I'd
1:16:11
start... I'd be worried about the dog. I'd be worried
1:16:13
about myself and the aliens. I'd be like, organ failure.
1:16:16
Did you eat a grape? Like, I'd be freaking out.
1:16:18
Did these aliens give you a grape? Oh my god,
1:16:20
did he just... You can't give dogs grapes. Jesus Christ,
1:16:22
we learned this! Anyway, so...
1:16:24
She starts lecturing the
1:16:26
aliens. Exactly. She's like, I need hydrogen peroxide
1:16:29
and peanut butter and I need to induce
1:16:31
foment. Yeah. Okay, so anyway,
1:16:34
Hobo just taking a lay down.
1:16:36
Not about it. Spoiler alert, he
1:16:38
is okay. He survived. Good. He's
1:16:41
just in like, get out. Yeah. All
1:16:43
of a sudden. Yeah. You
1:16:45
know? Shocked! Exactly. And
1:16:48
Jean, also very shocked by this. According to
1:16:50
her, it felt like her blood was drained
1:16:52
out her toes. She just stood there with
1:16:55
her mouth hanging open. And
1:16:57
then rather suddenly, like almost as
1:16:59
quickly as the fear left her
1:17:01
body, she then just felt
1:17:03
light inside. Like a switch was flipped
1:17:05
after a moment. And like she said,
1:17:07
she felt like a different person or
1:17:09
like she was in heaven. Which
1:17:12
would also be unnerving because then you're
1:17:14
like, did I just die? Well, yeah.
1:17:16
Were these like angels? Because biblically accurate
1:17:18
angels are fucking terrifying, right? I know.
1:17:20
But thankfully, not as scary as
1:17:23
a biblically accurate angel, but we will get
1:17:25
into the look in a moment. So at
1:17:27
this point, everything's kind of blurry and bright
1:17:29
to Jean. Sure. She can
1:17:31
just see these like general beings floating
1:17:33
around, but her vision doesn't like fully
1:17:35
kick in. It's kind of like she's
1:17:37
watching season one of Drag Race. Exactly.
1:17:40
Yeah. It's like a thick layer
1:17:42
of Vaseline on the lens for her right
1:17:44
now. I think that's RuPaul. Yeah.
1:17:46
But it might not be. It
1:17:48
might just be shaking a RuPaul doll at
1:17:51
the camera while Ru does ADR. But
1:17:53
anyway, Jean, she's in season
1:17:55
one Drag Race. She starts floating
1:17:57
as well. Damn. Holding
1:18:00
the door for stability, a leg
1:18:02
and as this is happening it's
1:18:04
is often the distance. She hears
1:18:06
her Christmas tree rattling around his
1:18:09
his the sick part is going.
1:18:12
To let us look like enjoy it
1:18:15
and is a good day. I agree
1:18:17
with as I personally I wouldn't going
1:18:19
to say and what are the only
1:18:21
sulfur like what the fuck is just
1:18:23
quiver at the end the I used
1:18:25
to switch seeking with the gravity of
1:18:27
the moment and the laid pouring into
1:18:29
became. Like even more severe and the
1:18:32
mean had like cover her eyes but
1:18:34
then in this like moment of rapture
1:18:36
almost as good as hundred of clarity
1:18:38
where she feels like these beings are
1:18:40
reading her mind which he said self
1:18:43
like an x ray or like a
1:18:45
light penetrating her mind a ha and
1:18:47
then in almost like amount of reciprocity.
1:18:49
Gene. Was finally able to make
1:18:52
out the beings that she was
1:18:54
in the presence of like she
1:18:56
uncovered her eyes and almost like
1:18:58
dislike after the flood kind of
1:19:00
moment to five and then everything
1:19:02
was okay. and in like this
1:19:05
moment she was finally able to
1:19:07
see these people that were tugging
1:19:09
at the Christmas tree. In the
1:19:11
brown, they were like three small
1:19:13
slim humanoids about three and a
1:19:16
half to four feet tall in
1:19:18
silvery green tunics and silver waistcoats.
1:19:20
Oh fab us I like space
1:19:22
selves. yeah yeahs ways. codes were
1:19:24
adorned with silver buttons or press
1:19:26
duds. we can tell exactly she
1:19:28
wasn't looking to deep at the.
1:19:31
Cut. or you know what we do
1:19:33
now is that they had pointed hands and
1:19:35
feet which were covered in the same
1:19:37
silver elite or silvery green cover and appointed
1:19:40
zebra the reason that they couldn't walk cause
1:19:42
they're not brooklyn heights and they can't
1:19:44
walk on point sorry it's true the probably
1:19:46
not used to like earth's gravitational pull though
1:19:48
they feel like they were probably into
1:19:51
the groove occasional more challenging by those out
1:19:53
the absolutely yeah as readers wish that they
1:19:55
a touchdown in new york in the early
1:19:57
nineties addict and these club kids are
1:19:59
ready, you know, like Michael Alec would hire
1:20:02
them and piss on them. Uh-huh. All in
1:20:04
the same night. Yeah.
1:20:06
Anyway, so they're there. They also have
1:20:08
pointed hats just to really complete the
1:20:11
look. They're the same silver green color.
1:20:13
Each hat had a lamp on top
1:20:15
of it. This was creating all the
1:20:18
light in the room. They literally came
1:20:20
with their own lighting effect. All
1:20:23
of this was encapsulated by like this
1:20:25
domed transparent helmet that Gene described as
1:20:28
kind of being like fish bowls, but
1:20:30
this allowed her to fully take
1:20:32
in the visage of these beings,
1:20:34
which according to Gene were like
1:20:37
white waxy corpse-like faces that were
1:20:39
said to contain no eyebrows or
1:20:41
ears, small indications of a nose,
1:20:43
and thin lips, but eyes
1:20:45
that Gene described as being big
1:20:47
and black like black diamonds. So
1:20:50
that's kind of sexy. That is very sexy. That's
1:20:52
the vibe. They put all the attitude up in
1:20:54
the eyes on these guns. Yeah. Instead of these
1:20:56
guys, but I'm not going to box them in.
1:20:58
Absolutely. Exactly. And I feel like they could give,
1:21:00
oh my God, wait, who made white diamonds? Liz
1:21:03
Taylor. Yeah. They could give Liz Taylor a run
1:21:05
for her money. Absolutely. Rival
1:21:07
soap. Yes. Black diamonds. Liza
1:21:10
Minnelli black diamonds. Why didn't it
1:21:12
happen? It should have. It could
1:21:14
still. I always said she was
1:21:16
an alien. Anyway, eyes like big
1:21:18
black diamonds. We love it. The
1:21:20
aforementioned wings as well. Those were
1:21:22
the show. They were big. They
1:21:24
were oval. They were glorious and
1:21:26
multicolored. They were covered with dots
1:21:29
braille according to Gene. Interesting. And
1:21:31
the colors of the dots were
1:21:33
red, violet, blue, gold, green, but
1:21:35
allegedly more beautiful than earthly colors.
1:21:37
She noted that in comparison to
1:21:39
our colors, their colors
1:21:41
seemed chemical. Or that
1:21:43
ours colors seemed chemical.
1:21:45
Like chemical colors. That's
1:21:47
interesting. Yeah. But I
1:21:50
love what she's having. I know. This is
1:21:52
some great salvia, Gene. Yeah. Wow.
1:21:56
I mean, you know, so Salvia never worked when I
1:21:58
tried it. I mean, it really did. It didn't
1:22:00
do anything everyone else was tripping. I was like
1:22:02
this sucks Yeah, I had a moment where I
1:22:04
thought I was going to sesame Street really I
1:22:06
was like I think I feel a bit horny.
1:22:08
I didn't even feel that I was just trying
1:22:10
to make like fetch happen Yeah, you know the
1:22:13
gym was on the right stuff. Yeah, it sounds
1:22:15
like it But also like isn't color like perception
1:22:17
based on like our own anatomy and not the
1:22:19
world around us like there are millions of colors
1:22:21
Out there that we just can't see and proceed
1:22:23
but jeans finally woken up man. Oh, yeah colors
1:22:25
aren't just like colors. This is like Colors
1:22:32
Yeah, like we love everyone but everyone
1:22:34
has that friend that trips a bit
1:22:36
too hard and I have to explain
1:22:39
Colors to you, you know
1:22:42
what I mean? Uh-huh. So
1:22:44
yeah, we're cool. Anyway, so
1:22:46
anyway regardless of my criticism
1:22:48
They're bright. They're shining Wow.
1:22:50
Yeah get into these wings You can't
1:22:52
fathom them comes you're used to chemical
1:22:55
colors Mm-hmm and as Jean watched on
1:22:57
the beings floated through her lounge milling
1:22:59
over the objects Rifling
1:23:01
through the holiday cards the
1:23:03
hi-fi setup which they proved
1:23:05
of and furniture Right. Yeah,
1:23:07
of course and till Jean
1:23:09
willed herself to ask quote
1:23:12
three of you and one of me What
1:23:15
are you gonna do? What
1:23:17
do you want from me?
1:23:19
And that literally sounds like the
1:23:21
opening line of a bad porno I
1:23:23
said it's my sexy way didn't I
1:23:25
yeah did three of you one of
1:23:28
me? Well,
1:23:35
this doesn't seem fair holiday
1:23:37
party yeah Put
1:23:40
this point of toes to work. Uh-huh All
1:23:43
right, so okay One of
1:23:45
me what are you gonna do? What do you want with me?
1:23:48
At this point the beings just put
1:23:50
their hands on their chests They pressed
1:23:52
their chests with their hands on the
1:23:54
hands and seemingly manipulated the buttons on
1:23:56
their coats Oh dear all of a
1:23:58
sudden produced a bleeping sound okay
1:24:00
and then from the buttons on the
1:24:02
coats their voices came forth because that
1:24:04
seems to be where they spoke from
1:24:06
that's where the mouse is where do
1:24:08
they poop from then I'd like to
1:24:11
know that's yeah I guess
1:24:13
so yeah you gotta
1:24:15
stick around long enough for the poop to
1:24:17
come yeah you need two or three days
1:24:20
actually I don't even know they might take
1:24:22
longer to digest maybe faster absolutely
1:24:24
no yeah anyway
1:24:29
so the poop aside they
1:24:31
start speaking to her and they say we
1:24:34
shall not harm you to Jean which she
1:24:36
responds where if you come from we
1:24:38
come from the sky they all said
1:24:41
in union and then they continued shaking
1:24:43
her Christmas tree out of seeming curiosity
1:24:46
knocking the angel off the top of it
1:24:48
it's like that's expensive break that you better
1:24:50
replace it I mean she wasn't quite that
1:24:52
calm with them yet but she did go
1:24:54
on to explain the tree she said we
1:24:56
put up a tree at Christmas because
1:24:58
we believe in Jesus or
1:25:00
we believe Jesus was born
1:25:02
then to which the beings responded
1:25:05
with we know all about
1:25:07
Jesus yeah exactly come from
1:25:09
where he comes from the church
1:25:11
every Sunday but basically
1:25:14
as that's playing out one of the
1:25:16
beings grabs the Sunday paper and they
1:25:18
notice on the front page that there's
1:25:20
like an honors list so Jean comments
1:25:22
those people like the people being listed
1:25:24
have been made lords to
1:25:26
which the beings again respond in unison
1:25:29
with there is only one Lord see
1:25:31
because they are they're only learning about
1:25:33
the Jesus exactly their monotheistic and I
1:25:35
wasn't expecting that turn today but get
1:25:38
it Queens anyway from there a photo of
1:25:41
the Queen actually was in the paper to
1:25:43
which Jean suggested you should go
1:25:45
to the Queen or go to see a real
1:25:47
lady I think she means like a lady by
1:25:49
like by Royal
1:25:51
yeah standard yeah distinction
1:25:54
is yeah but today
1:25:56
just they shut it
1:25:58
down this is the ultimate Cush's
1:26:00
hair out of her face and says you
1:26:03
are beautiful Takes off
1:26:05
glasses and the makeup is complete right? She's all
1:26:07
that baby Yeah, cuz she was trying to ditch
1:26:09
these wise guys they hit back and they say
1:26:11
you are a real lady I
1:26:16
love the little shit disturbance as she is
1:26:18
she's like, you know what go see Yeah,
1:26:22
go see Lizzie. Yeah, nothing on the
1:26:24
go. Yeah, whatever. She's a rude lady.
1:26:26
Yeah, they said mmm. You're a lady
1:26:30
Meanwhile, sorry, that was my I need
1:26:32
a man voice, but it just it
1:26:34
sounds weird when you say lady Anyway,
1:26:37
meanwhile, they got onto the corner unit
1:26:39
couch in the lounge and started hopping
1:26:41
around like excited kids This is wild
1:26:43
but this is actually what I would
1:26:46
expect from aliens, right? Yeah. Yeah that
1:26:48
or like some um Even
1:26:50
though those are prehistoric people I digress Jean
1:26:53
was not about to have this She
1:26:55
stands up tells him to be careful on her
1:26:57
furniture. I love it. It was enough to get
1:26:59
them to stop So that was
1:27:01
nice. I'm respectful. Yes, but in retaliation
1:27:04
They brought back the blinding light for a
1:27:06
minute. Okay, we know how to play hardball.
1:27:08
Yeah, we can make you float girl So
1:27:11
just like chill exactly so Jean in that
1:27:13
moment was like, okay duly noted. Let's not
1:27:15
lose my temper again They
1:27:18
might actually hurt me and once her
1:27:20
eyes reset at slash they were done
1:27:22
having their Tempe tantrum Yes, the creatures
1:27:24
then looked at her with friendly eyes,
1:27:26
which is a good sign that you
1:27:28
know They were just about to blind
1:27:31
you. So anyway, she then says
1:27:33
I can't call you creature. So
1:27:35
I shall call you gentlemen Work.
1:27:38
Yeah, and then it gets a little bit weird
1:27:40
from here because then she says
1:27:42
nice to see you nice to which they
1:27:44
responded Nice now These are her words Some
1:27:46
other people have extrapolated from this that they
1:27:48
were making a reference to this comedian called
1:27:50
Bruce Forsyth who would say like oh It's
1:27:52
nice to see you to see you nicely
1:27:55
in my opinion. I hope
1:27:57
you reached before you stretched that hard Yeah,
1:28:00
because according to Jean all that she said was
1:28:02
nice to see you and then nice as if
1:28:04
she was gonna say something else and Then all
1:28:06
three of them just cut her off and repeated
1:28:08
the word nice. So they're just mimicking Yes, but
1:28:10
according to everybody else who repeats this story These
1:28:14
beings show up and they're like we love
1:28:16
the comedian Bruce Forsyth In fact, let's mimic
1:28:18
some of his lines to you out of
1:28:20
nowhere. That's right We know all about Jesus
1:28:22
and we know all about Bruce and we
1:28:24
know about the Queen and also I guess
1:28:26
they mentioned Tommy Steele At a certain point
1:28:28
it was like a UK Like
1:28:31
heart-throb musician back in the day like a
1:28:33
Bobby Darin kind of vibe. Anyway, I don't
1:28:35
know Obviously the girls were chatting they seem
1:28:37
to be into music though, because if correct
1:28:39
me if I'm wrong, they did approve of
1:28:41
her Like hi-fi station like
1:28:43
her whole setup. Well, yeah, I mean they
1:28:46
were just interested in it Yeah, you know
1:28:48
what I mean? And you know, they didn't
1:28:50
break it So I'm just taking that as
1:28:52
as you know thumbs up from them Anyway,
1:28:54
yeah from their jeans gentlemen collars as she
1:28:56
would refer to them because again I'm not
1:28:58
gendering them. She is they flap around on
1:29:00
their quiet wings, which then a fold Appropriately
1:29:03
as they let go in and out of
1:29:05
the doorways. They're very graceful with them Sounds
1:29:07
like yeah, and they did an overview of
1:29:09
jeans home. However, they didn't open up any
1:29:11
of the doors So I guess they went
1:29:14
upstairs and they're zooming around but none of
1:29:16
the doors were open So they just kind
1:29:18
of came back and didn't realize what a
1:29:20
door is for. No, absolutely not They were
1:29:22
just confounded but on their way back down.
1:29:24
They did grab some items with them You
1:29:26
know check out some souvenirs. Yeah, they've grabbed
1:29:28
some tapes for a tape recorder and
1:29:30
some cigarette packets that were hanging
1:29:33
around Anyway upon
1:29:35
reconvening Jean asked them if they wanted
1:29:37
to drink since you know It was
1:29:39
after Christmas and she had an abundance
1:29:41
of whiskey and sherry despair allegedly Yeah,
1:29:43
she's like hey aliens. Are you looking
1:29:45
to pick up some bad habits? Uh-huh.
1:29:47
The thing is all three of them
1:29:49
just said water in tandem three times.
1:29:51
So they were serious Yeah, yeah and
1:29:54
unlike a scene in coyote ugly. She didn't
1:29:56
start spraying them a father and chanting hell
1:29:58
no h20 she was
1:30:00
just like, okay, you
1:30:03
don't want to get down with me? Okay,
1:30:05
cool, whatever. Right. Weiners,
1:30:08
thanks for rejecting my sentiment. She
1:30:11
brings him out some water on
1:30:13
a metal tray. Uh-huh. And
1:30:15
she also brought out a fourth glass on the
1:30:17
tray to prove that she wasn't poisoning them, so
1:30:20
that's a good hope. That is very nice. Yes.
1:30:22
Now, as she approached them with the tray
1:30:25
of water, she did notice that there was
1:30:27
like a slight magnetic field around them. Mm-hmm.
1:30:30
Because the tray did start to drift
1:30:32
towards them. Interesting. So that was freaky-deaky.
1:30:34
She put it down and they served
1:30:36
themselves. And then, turns
1:30:38
out they temporarily blinded Jean again
1:30:41
with the light. Yeah. But
1:30:43
she couldn't see them drink. Oh. It's like
1:30:45
a drag queen being like, I'm not going to eat on television. Yeah. You
1:30:48
know? They're like, I'll have a salad. Exactly. When
1:30:51
they really want a burger. But then, like, you
1:30:53
leave the room and the salad's gone when you come
1:30:55
back. Uh-huh. Yeah, because literally Jean gets her vision back
1:30:57
and the water is gone. They just, yeah. Whatever.
1:31:01
How we drink is privileged information, okay? It
1:31:03
comes through our asses. Yeah.
1:31:05
These helmets don't come off. It has to happen
1:31:07
other ways. Right. So anyway, they
1:31:09
do that and after the water is drunk,
1:31:11
the tea spilling begins. They
1:31:14
tell them where they've been before. They tell
1:31:16
Jean they've been to Australia, New Zealand, and
1:31:18
America. Mm-hmm. And then they said,
1:31:20
we came down here to try to
1:31:22
talk to people, but they don't seem interested. Oh.
1:31:26
Yeah, and so Jean asked them if
1:31:28
they wanted her to tell people
1:31:30
on Earth about them and all three
1:31:32
beings effusively said yes to her. Okay.
1:31:36
Yeah. Although maybe I just added the effusively part.
1:31:38
I just want to think that they regained the
1:31:40
difference with Jean and have some long-term contact. It
1:31:43
kind of sounds like that because I have
1:31:45
a hard time believing that, like, people on
1:31:47
mass who have been literally searching for aliens
1:31:49
forever would have no interest in actually sitting
1:31:51
down and talking with aliens. Right. But
1:31:54
they got Jean. They got Jean. Jean's got
1:31:56
the water and the Hi-Fi, so you know
1:31:58
what? Maybe they were just missing... in the
1:32:01
secret sauce. Maybe they're just not Jean enough.
1:32:03
Yeah, maybe they just did not have the
1:32:05
hospitality. Exactly. Because according to them, they had
1:32:07
even been like in her neck of the
1:32:10
woods before and would be back once again.
1:32:12
But yeah, just no one had
1:32:14
done it like Jean. Okay. She's a
1:32:16
good host. That's it. Everyone needs the
1:32:18
Jean. Anyway, they continue talking and the
1:32:20
beings also make a comment to the
1:32:23
extent of everyone will go to heaven.
1:32:25
There are beautiful colors there. And
1:32:27
if you think that's random and like super
1:32:29
deep, like I'm talking about heaven and all
1:32:31
that. Well, sit back and get ready because
1:32:34
that was just the gateway into the deep
1:32:36
talk. Really? Yeah. Next on the docket as
1:32:38
part of the other world at least salon
1:32:40
according to Jean was
1:32:42
the beings putting like
1:32:46
they put out this light,
1:32:48
which then like drew words out of her and
1:32:50
allegedly she told them what they wanted to hear.
1:32:52
Oh, what
1:32:55
a metaphor for a one-sided conversation.
1:32:57
But anyway, she felt herself like
1:32:59
stuttering and nervous in her words
1:33:01
and they talked politics and
1:33:04
the idea of women going to work.
1:33:08
She works and she ended up saying
1:33:10
it's a man's world to them at
1:33:12
a certain point. Again, Jean had a
1:33:14
lot to go over. Sure. But from
1:33:16
there, she tells them that she hadn't
1:33:19
been to religious services at the local
1:33:21
chapel for the last two years or
1:33:23
so because according to Jean, all
1:33:26
chapels had pop groups and guitars these days.
1:33:28
And I don't like that kind of service.
1:33:32
She wants the old Testament bitch.
1:33:34
Exactly. Yeah. She said, I know
1:33:36
you like your boy toy heart,
1:33:39
throw out pop stars, but not
1:33:41
in my church. Thank you. Bring
1:33:43
back the organs, exactly.
1:33:46
To which the beings
1:33:49
responded with, quote, there's no need
1:33:51
to worship in synagogues. End quote.
1:33:53
Now reportedly Jean didn't know about
1:33:55
synagogues at the time and her husband Cyril
1:33:57
explain them to her later on, but. She
1:34:00
just kept the conversation going. She was like, okay.
1:34:04
You know one of those. Like I think I get
1:34:06
what you're saying. And then she just said, the Bible
1:34:08
is hard to understand. And
1:34:10
the beings seem to get that, according to Jean.
1:34:12
From there, they then started
1:34:14
to talk like some personal shit,
1:34:16
which is like fair. They've been
1:34:18
in Jean's home for a while.
1:34:21
She dishes on like how she
1:34:23
looked after foster children for seven
1:34:25
years with your husband at one
1:34:28
point, tells them about how like she and Cyril
1:34:30
were looking after 13 straight dogs.
1:34:32
That's cool. Yeah,
1:34:35
I get it. As long as you're not animal hoarding.
1:34:38
Reportedly, she used to walk them with the kids
1:34:40
in the neighbourhood. She's telling the
1:34:42
beings all about that. I keep having
1:34:44
to stop myself from saying aliens. Okay.
1:34:46
They're just beings. Sure. And then as
1:34:48
she's explaining this, according to Jean, she
1:34:51
grabbed a plate of mince pies for
1:34:53
the beings, putting six on a plate
1:34:55
and inviting her three beings to help
1:34:57
themselves. Nummies. Yeah, and
1:34:59
they did. They levitated them off
1:35:02
of the plate to themselves. They were
1:35:04
so into it. They love that mince
1:35:06
pie. But
1:35:09
then Jean noticed that they were
1:35:11
still eyeing up the cigarettes because again, they had
1:35:13
brought like the cigarette packet sound. So Jean
1:35:15
all of a sudden notices their stare
1:35:17
and goes, I'll show you how people
1:35:20
smoke those. And as she does it,
1:35:22
she strikes up a match, lights a
1:35:24
cigarette. What an enabler, PS. I was
1:35:26
gonna say. Let me show you how
1:35:28
to drink and smoke. Like, hey, aliens,
1:35:30
I'm your cool older sister. It's
1:35:32
like, you know, 8am. We're smoking, we're drinking.
1:35:35
We eat a mince pie, baby. She's like,
1:35:37
oh, you don't want to drink with me
1:35:39
at 7am. Yeah. Okay.
1:35:41
Okay. Losers. Yeah. Get out
1:35:43
of my lounge. Anyway,
1:35:47
turns out this freaked out for
1:35:49
visitors. They are just like smoking
1:35:51
inside. No. Although
1:35:53
allegedly it was at the site of the
1:35:55
flame. But Regardless, they jump up and start
1:35:58
drifting out of the room to. Ward
1:36:00
the door. that's how much they hate smoking or
1:36:02
I quit the a one hundred resell. your know
1:36:04
aliens were gonna come around if you do if
1:36:06
he were smoke and right exactly the down the
1:36:09
weeds is not the sayings anyway she calls for
1:36:11
them to come back as she stuff so it's
1:36:13
a sick or I know uncool Amanda love older
1:36:15
know mine a hold of them for a friend
1:36:18
who robot it was too little too late because
1:36:20
they exited through the back door once again goes
1:36:22
up front and entered the yard where it's once
1:36:24
again was beamed or bathed in a warm orange
1:36:26
light. Following. Which gene
1:36:29
did see the source of the light
1:36:31
which was a spacer horse eight to
1:36:33
ten feet long, four feet high with
1:36:35
round windows or like portholes or harm
1:36:37
covered in some sort of signing plastic
1:36:39
according to team and she couldn't see
1:36:42
inside but she did say that is
1:36:44
had like the scorpion tail see the
1:36:46
back of a with like a wheel
1:36:48
on top so was just all kinds.
1:36:50
A confusing yeah now. Still,
1:36:53
A gene is just like. Terrified.
1:36:55
Of losing her new friends shirts and me
1:36:57
that's a bad note to go out on
1:37:00
right now. Probably thought that she's gonna like
1:37:02
attack the most of them on fire and
1:37:04
she's like i swear I don't smoke oh
1:37:06
my god no I was gonna be cool
1:37:09
and teach you making t toward the Sabbath
1:37:11
still eat holding a mince pie bitch. They
1:37:13
took the pod specific as as the things
1:37:15
that applied to see that happen to yourself.
1:37:17
They were leaving no chrome mail literally Emily
1:37:20
get in the ship they start to fly
1:37:22
away and as they do they have flash
1:37:24
the ship lights. Twice almost like a gesture
1:37:26
of good bye. according to Jean and I'm
1:37:29
a little golf in the sky toward the
1:37:31
community will bury. That's. Why?
1:37:33
old i an hour i keep this
1:37:35
up now according to gm it was
1:37:37
still dark outside of this point no
1:37:40
stars deep imprint in the snow of
1:37:42
the ship though a high end of
1:37:44
this point she's rejoined by hobo who
1:37:46
is once again animate at a dislike
1:37:49
cool being like that was weird my
1:37:51
exactly didn't know you smoke but you
1:37:53
look real cool love you i like
1:37:55
literally five minutes later hobos probably just
1:37:58
like with i said record exactly He's
1:38:00
like I hate your friends. Where's my breakfast? Yeah, although
1:38:03
Jean described her feeling in the midst
1:38:05
of all this as being like happy
1:38:08
and warm despite the weather and she
1:38:10
felt like a feeling of being blessed
1:38:12
I Mean, that's a good
1:38:14
feeling to be left with because I could
1:38:16
think of a lot of other feelings after
1:38:18
literally going through that You didn't get probed
1:38:20
and now you feel blessed and they allegedly
1:38:22
said that they would come back and they
1:38:24
loved your mincemeat pie Oh my god. Yeah,
1:38:26
they took your mincemeat pie to space your
1:38:28
mincemeat pies like the Golden Record now Basically,
1:38:31
it could still be out there. Oh
1:38:33
my god Things probably don't rot in
1:38:35
spaces no air one would hope or
1:38:37
you're just you know going back in
1:38:39
time at a certain point anyway Upon
1:38:41
returning inside all was normal aside from
1:38:43
the radio and the clock in the
1:38:45
home having stops But otherwise things were
1:38:48
good I
1:38:50
mean the Christmas tree is a bit fucked up, but you
1:38:52
pass the holidays anyway So
1:38:54
shortly after this a little later in the
1:38:56
day Jean ends up speaking to a neighbor
1:38:58
about the incident who? Recommended that
1:39:00
if anything else She just maybe reaches out
1:39:03
to the police and lets them know about
1:39:05
what happened Maybe asks them to come check
1:39:07
things out from their perspective So
1:39:09
from there Jean does that she also calls
1:39:11
Cyril at work asking him to come back,
1:39:14
but he couldn't Yeah,
1:39:17
excuse me right cement can wait Your
1:39:20
wife just had aliens in your house
1:39:22
Yeah, and you're like we'll talk about
1:39:24
it late on the phone literally said
1:39:26
to him she had visitors with wings
1:39:28
She cried this to them on the
1:39:30
phone He responded by asking if she
1:39:32
meant birds and she shakily said no
1:39:34
men with wings To
1:39:36
which he laughed dismissively and said this
1:39:38
is a quote that Jean shared in
1:39:41
an interview Why don't you go
1:39:43
have your hair down and tell the girls about it?
1:39:45
What a? fucking Asshole
1:39:48
if the aliens are looking for
1:39:50
someone to probe yeah, we
1:39:53
got a guy here. Oh Anyway
1:39:57
she did that she was like okay well
1:40:00
fuck you I am gonna do that though but still
1:40:02
fuck you for that response. Yeah. Now
1:40:04
the police ended up coming in from West Bromwich
1:40:07
and while they did note that like
1:40:10
Jean was pale with shock they couldn't
1:40:12
really do anything outside of like observing
1:40:14
the indent in the snow taking measurements
1:40:16
of it they took a soil sample
1:40:18
for analysis that didn't ultimately go anywhere
1:40:20
but okay according to Jean you know
1:40:22
they were just like well let us
1:40:24
know if they come back I guess
1:40:27
and that was it with the police.
1:40:29
However Jean did feel some physical
1:40:31
effects in the days following she
1:40:34
reported feeling like some
1:40:36
jaw ache from just standing there
1:40:38
with her mouth hanging wide open.
1:40:40
Okay I was gonna say ooh
1:40:42
radiation. Right oh my god no
1:40:45
thankfully not but she
1:40:47
also did say that her eyes were sore
1:40:49
for like a week afterward resulting in her
1:40:51
having to wear dark glasses at times just
1:40:53
because of like all the light exposure from
1:40:55
this whole experience. Sure. When she
1:40:58
saw a doctor they recommended that she rested
1:41:00
however there wasn't a lot of rest for
1:41:02
Jean in the days following because the word
1:41:04
got out swiftly. It was
1:41:06
being published about in local papers as
1:41:08
soon as January 6th. So
1:41:10
like it happened on the 4th. Yeah and
1:41:12
that first article was published in the
1:41:14
Deadly Daily Mirror and it was entitled
1:41:17
Mince Pie Martians. So baby we renamed
1:41:19
it out the gate. We got the
1:41:21
name. Baby now this article
1:41:23
outlines the case although they do get
1:41:26
some things wrong like Jean's age but
1:41:28
who am I to turn this into Apollo or call it
1:41:31
podcast all of a sudden. Apollo
1:41:33
podcast. Fuck me.
1:41:37
Now unfortunately Jean did
1:41:39
not live long after her experience which means
1:41:41
the interviews that we have on or from
1:41:44
her are really limited like the best account
1:41:46
of this was a written account that she
1:41:48
had submitted to a journal. I'll mention it
1:41:50
at the end of my sources. But
1:41:54
Jean actually suffered a bout of acute
1:41:56
pancreatitis and passed away at the age
1:41:58
of 60 on the phone. July 23rd
1:42:01
of 1982. So just
1:42:04
three years after the encounter? Exactly. She
1:42:06
was survived by her husband Cyril and
1:42:08
she passed at the Corbett Hospital in
1:42:11
Starbridge. Now in her
1:42:13
later years outside of her notable
1:42:15
encounter with the Mince Pie Martians, Jean was
1:42:17
known for having set up a tenants group
1:42:19
called the Portway Hill Tenance Association, which turns
1:42:21
out she actually ran for the last 10
1:42:23
years of her life. So like even while
1:42:25
all this was going on, I just want
1:42:27
to throw out there how like
1:42:29
fierce she was because she really
1:42:31
led this tenants association with Lavacity.
1:42:34
She literally laid down in front of
1:42:36
a bulldozer as part
1:42:38
of her advocacy, trying to stop these
1:42:41
like new housing developments from taking place
1:42:43
in the area. Like I'm
1:42:45
not sure about the details of the politics of
1:42:47
it all outside of that, but to me it
1:42:49
just has echoes of that episode of Mama's Family,
1:42:51
where you know they want to you know take
1:42:53
the wrecking ball to the house and she agrees
1:42:55
and then she does and then hops on the
1:42:57
wrecking ball. Anyway, Google it if
1:43:00
you don't know, but that's definitely the
1:43:02
vibe I'm getting. And it's giving me like
1:43:05
90s like PSA advertisements because I don't
1:43:07
know what it was about being a
1:43:09
kid in the 90s, but there was
1:43:11
always somebody changing themselves to an ancient
1:43:13
trees, like protected from being knocked down.
1:43:15
There's like a Bea Arthur energy floating
1:43:17
around, like a Bea Arthur in Golden
1:43:19
Girls because Dorothy's born act. Very that.
1:43:22
And I'm loving all of
1:43:24
this. And maybe she kind of
1:43:26
started it all. Yeah, maybe. Maybe
1:43:28
she's like a Dorothy Sophia cusp.
1:43:31
Anyway, all tea she
1:43:33
was remembered fondly among her friends and peers.
1:43:35
There was an article about her death citing
1:43:38
her ability to diffuse tense board meetings with
1:43:40
humor and all that kind of stuff. Like
1:43:42
they said nothing but glowing things about her
1:43:44
in her passing. So she
1:43:46
sounds like a gem. Although speaking of
1:43:49
the glowing to rope it back in
1:43:51
thanks to the conspiracies, some people do
1:43:53
believe that her death, which occurred shortly
1:43:55
after, like within two to three years
1:43:58
after the incident, was
1:44:00
potentially a byproduct of
1:44:02
huge electrical forces, and that's
1:44:05
a quote, which
1:44:08
some people believe could be the
1:44:10
cause of hallucinations which could explain
1:44:13
what gene experienced that day. Oh, so that's
1:44:15
like a rational explanation. Some people believe that,
1:44:17
you know, there was some sort of electrical
1:44:19
interference. They were never able to quite put
1:44:21
it down. A guy named Budden really kind
1:44:24
of puts the idea out there. Walter Budden,
1:44:26
I believe his name is, might
1:44:28
be speaking or speaking incorrectly about
1:44:30
that first name, but regardless, he has
1:44:32
this theory that she was living in
1:44:35
an area where she was experiencing these
1:44:37
electrical disturbances, and somehow she
1:44:39
hallucinates as a result, and then within a
1:44:41
few years ends up passing away. But there's
1:44:44
nothing that really points to that. Again, it's
1:44:47
acute pancreatitis. From my understanding, that's what
1:44:49
the medical reports say. And I mean,
1:44:51
I don't know. I feel like I
1:44:54
would need to know a
1:44:56
little bit more about this theory,
1:44:58
because it sounds a little pseudoscience,
1:45:00
doesn't it? Huge electrical forces, like,
1:45:02
ooh, tell me more about toxins.
1:45:05
Right, yeah. Please, okay. Exactly. Anyway,
1:45:07
I'm just gonna say letter rest. But
1:45:09
with that being said, that is the
1:45:12
case of the mince pie martians. Some
1:45:14
people will call it like the blue
1:45:16
stone martians and stuff like that, but
1:45:20
most people are calling it what it is, which
1:45:22
is the mince pie martians, and that's what it
1:45:24
will forever be in my heart. The
1:45:27
alliteration is there. You gotta lean into it. It's
1:45:29
a little bit silly, it's a little bit funny.
1:45:31
This is the greatest alien
1:45:33
encounter I've ever heard. I
1:45:35
know. I love it. I
1:45:38
just happened upon it, and I'm
1:45:40
so glad I did. Yeah, yeah. I
1:45:42
love the idea that the aliens just
1:45:44
kinda wanna get down, jump on the
1:45:46
furniture, eat some food. Yeah, have a
1:45:48
mince pie. A mince pie, and then
1:45:51
go on their way. Yeah, they say no to
1:45:53
smoking, and they say, bye-bye. See you later. The
1:45:55
really only thing I disapprove in all of this
1:45:57
is the fact that they showed up on an
1:45:59
app. Right like it like I hate that
1:46:01
let me know like give me 15
1:46:04
minutes heaven in the morning. Yeah, fuck
1:46:06
you. I want to get away. I'm not even there Yeah,
1:46:09
I'm not answer that I just went to bed two
1:46:11
hours. Yeah, probably like me free Anyway,

1:47:24
the sighting but they actually just say we
1:47:26
think she was hallucinating and that's it So
1:47:28
that's like basically being like mass hysteria. Don't

21st of 2023. Alright,
1:48:30
I love that. Here's a question though. The
1:48:32
police apparently took photos. Do these, are
1:48:35
these photos available? Are they accessible? PS
1:48:38
I don't have them. They
1:48:40
don't have them. But
1:48:43
I mean, they also said that they took
1:48:45
a soil sample. I
1:48:47
don't know. PS I'm just curious if those
1:48:50
photos are maybe somewhere out there. PS I
1:48:52
mean, a bitch is frantically googling right now.
1:48:55
And I don't have any, I mean,
1:48:57
there are a lot of drawings of
1:48:59
what the Martians are described. PS Yeah. PS
1:49:01
But yeah, nothing of the dense, unfortunately.
1:49:03
PS Oh, maybe they got lost to
1:49:05
time. PS Maybe. PS Maybe they didn't take
1:49:07
photos. Maybe they didn't know how to operate the camera.
1:49:09
PS Yeah. PS I'm sure
1:49:12
that would probably happen a lot. PS I
1:49:14
mean, wouldn't surprise me. PS Yeah. PS But
1:49:16
anyway, that's it. PS That's amazing. PS No
1:49:18
more questions. PS Thank you. PS Alright, thank
1:49:20
you. But do you want to
1:49:22
move on? PS Yeah. PS Beautiful. Now, Tyler, I'm
1:49:24
looking at you. You're looking at me. No more
1:49:26
questions. What did you
1:49:28
learn today? PS Today, I learned the
1:49:31
aliens know all about Christmas. PS Baby.
1:49:33
PS The cosmos are not even safe.
1:49:35
PS Mm-mm. PS From the Christmas cheer.
1:49:38
PS No. PS The commercialization of Christmas,
1:49:40
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, all that shit,
1:49:43
baby. PS They know. PS They know.
1:49:45
PS All of it. PS They already
1:49:47
know. PS Yep. PS They're celebrating Christmas
1:49:49
on Jupiter. PS They're slurping it up.
1:49:51
PS Yep. PS
1:49:53
That's what I learned. PS Yeah. PS What did
1:49:55
you learn? PS Well, today, I learned that, you
1:49:57
know, sometimes that intuition doesn't lead you to... to
1:50:00
Australia because mama I'm just I don't want to
1:50:02
be like I told you so but I'm just
1:50:05
proud of my clocking abilities yeah you
1:50:08
can lock them right away I'm also a I
1:50:13
also know what show I'm on I
1:50:16
don't know anyway another thing I
1:50:18
learned was the title of the
1:50:20
video that I was trying to
1:50:22
recommend everyone earlier oh yeah prehistoric
1:50:24
Australia was pure nightmare fuel it
1:50:26
was published on YouTube like it's
1:50:28
my source by extinct
1:50:30
zoo now I hope
1:50:32
they don't support Trump or anything like that again
1:50:35
whenever I mention they become like
1:50:37
alt-right the next day well they're like flatter
1:50:40
third oh my god evolution but no they
1:50:42
seem to be on the right side of
1:50:44
science enough at least to put out a
1:50:46
great video about prehistoric creatures in Australia I'm
1:50:48
into it that sounds really cool yes and
1:50:51
that's what I learned today so beautiful do
1:50:53
you want to read a review let's do
1:50:55
that okay well look I've got one here
1:50:57
and it was sent in to us by
1:50:59
a listener who did not send it to
1:51:02
us on an app but instead put it
1:51:04
in an email so this comes from Diana
1:51:06
who I should recognize from a
1:51:08
secret society that doesn't suck and
1:51:10
it isn't titled well actually I guess
1:51:13
it doesn't really have a title it just says
1:51:15
I wrote a review please feel free to edit
1:51:18
if need be okay I'm used to the format
1:51:20
where the review has like the name and all
1:51:22
that but anyway I'm gonna assume they gave us
1:51:24
five stars Diana says each week I look forward
1:51:26
to two new podcast episodes of That Spooky plus
1:51:29
lots of extras if you join their patreon if
1:51:31
you want to the ear candy of the
1:51:34
sweet and sassy filled with the delicious spooktacular
1:51:36
and true crime love and guts this show
1:51:38
is for you these
1:51:41
topics and more are hosted by two beautiful
1:51:43
queer men Johnny and Tyler you will
1:51:45
be shivering in tears laughing and smiling
1:51:47
and crying this show is about raising
1:51:49
consciousness and supporting queerness though many listeners
1:51:51
are queer supportive instead of queer I'm
1:51:54
guessing what I'm saying is this show
1:51:56
is for everyone who loves the
1:51:58
flirty banter of this couple first
1:52:00
with a variety of topics. This
1:52:03
is theatre at its best when Johnny
1:52:05
and Tyler of That Spooky host their
1:52:07
show. They're humanists and relaxing to listen
1:52:09
to, and when they read the true
1:52:11
crime stories I can truly feel their
1:52:13
empathy, especially for the family members left
1:52:16
behind. Johnny and Tyler have brought me
1:52:18
to a greater knowledge of Drag Race
1:52:20
Canada, politics, and queer culture at best,
1:52:22
and sometimes it's worst. That's why to
1:52:24
me, That Spooky feels like family. Wow.
1:52:26
I know. Fuck. Well
1:52:29
look, if you consider
1:52:31
us family then glad to be
1:52:33
a part. Absolutely. Diana, that's
1:52:35
sweet. Sweet. That is really sweet. And
1:52:37
this is a testament to all of
1:52:39
you out there listening on apps where
1:52:42
you can't drop like the five star
1:52:44
rating and review. Mm-hmm. Drop us a
1:52:46
review in the email because you can
1:52:48
get it out. Yeah. In a real
1:52:50
sweet way. Yeah, I've touched me. I'm
1:52:53
very touched. I'm speechless, actually.

1:53:04
you want to render us speechless and a gag and
1:53:06
a gog and a gaze, as
1:53:08
I said before, then you should
1:53:10
drop us a sweet little rating and review on whatever
1:53:12
podcast app you're listening to us on or in an
1:53:15
email if you're listening to us on an app where
1:53:17
you can't leave the rating and review because it's a
1:53:19
great way to support the show. It's a great way
1:53:21
to bolster some spirits and just be a nice person
1:53:23
on the internet. What an idea. I know, right? We
1:53:26
need more nice people on the internet. Although there

are a lot of nice people on the internet, but

the assholes are louder. Yeah, and we just love hearing
1:53:32
your voices cut through the fog of it all. So
1:53:34
thank you so much, Diana, for that. And if you're
1:53:37
looking for another way to support the show and you

Emily I don't know if you have anybody
1:55:22
that you can go toe to toe with
1:55:24
with battle birthday cakes But
1:55:27
also you could battle your
1:55:29
own birthday cake you could be
1:55:31
your own arch nemesis for the day right?
1:55:34
That's kind of fear. Yeah get a
1:55:36
big old cake and maybe you could
1:55:38
cut the cake with a samurai sword
1:55:41
Mm-hmm. I'm sure those slices would be
1:55:43
perfectly thin that sounds great And then
1:55:45
hopefully you don't injure yourself and have
1:55:47
to spend the rest of your birthday
1:55:49
in an er actually but
1:55:51
if you do Maybe
1:55:54
get a bbl while you're there. Happy birthday Yeah,
1:55:56
we'll do this count. Just put a little something extra on there
1:55:58
make it worth your while Just
1:56:00
go in and be like, I got an
1:56:02
owie. Yeah. You know, BBL, maybe feel better.
1:56:05
Here's a better idea. Just go to the
1:56:07
cheesecake factory and guess cheesecake. Yeah, that's the
1:56:09
nature of BBL. Yeah, you
1:56:11
don't need a BBL on your
1:56:13
birthday to feel good about yourself.
1:56:15
Absolutely. Go to cheesecake. Yeah. And
1:56:17
fucking live your life, man. Right?
