1
00:00:10,760 –> 00:00:15,800
Welcome to Conspiracy the Show,
the world’s most trusted

2
00:00:15,800 –> 00:00:20,520
conspiracy theory podcast with
your hosts Adam Todd.

3
00:00:20,520 –> 00:00:22,560
Brown.
And Olivia Haidar.

4
00:00:32,409 –> 00:00:36,890
Hey everybody, welcome to
Conspiracy the show.

5
00:00:36,930 –> 00:00:41,610
I’m your host Adam Todd Brown
joining me as cohost this week.

6
00:00:42,010 –> 00:00:46,890
Special guest Travis Clark.
What is up conspiracy pals?

7
00:00:46,890 –> 00:00:49,810
Is that what you say to the?
We haven’t given them a name,

8
00:00:49,810 –> 00:00:52,610
but I think Conspiracy Pals
makes the most.

9
00:00:52,610 –> 00:00:55,290
I think so too.
I mean, because, you know, we’re

10
00:00:55,290 –> 00:00:57,290
conspiracy.
The pals.

11
00:00:57,570 –> 00:01:00,490
Conspiracy the pals, where we
sit around and we talk about the

12
00:01:00,490 –> 00:01:02,810
conspiracy as the pals.
Correct.

13
00:01:02,930 –> 00:01:05,770
Everyone knows Travis.
You’ve been on a few episodes,

14
00:01:05,770 –> 00:01:08,370
most recently the Hollow Moon
episode.

15
00:01:08,490 –> 00:01:11,010
Goddamn Hollow Moon, I still
say.

16
00:01:11,010 –> 00:01:14,810
We are all just a galactic zoo
and the aliens are up there

17
00:01:14,810 –> 00:01:17,170
looking at us and that’s their
observation tower.

18
00:01:17,290 –> 00:01:19,010
It’s ringing, I can hear.
That hollow.

19
00:01:19,490 –> 00:01:22,810
Ringing like a bell.
I think we did a Courtney Love

20
00:01:22,810 –> 00:01:26,010
Kurt Cobain episode at one
point, which is track.

21
00:01:26,370 –> 00:01:31,730
Courtney Love is also hollow.
Nothing in there.

22
00:01:31,810 –> 00:01:35,450
And that would track because
Travis is my cohost on another

23
00:01:35,450 –> 00:01:38,610
podcast called You Don’t Even
Like This Band.

24
00:01:38,810 –> 00:01:41,290
And you know, I don’t even like
this conspiracy.

25
00:01:41,370 –> 00:01:46,450
I didn’t like this conspiracy,
nor the documentary that we

26
00:01:46,450 –> 00:01:50,330
tried to watch to.
Research this conspiracy.

27
00:01:50,330 –> 00:01:54,610
Sometimes that works, sometimes
a documentary gives you all the

28
00:01:54,610 –> 00:01:56,690
information you need, and that’s
great.

29
00:01:56,770 –> 00:02:00,930
In this case, as Travis can
attest about 2/3 of the way into

30
00:02:00,930 –> 00:02:04,410
the notes, I just wrote a thing
that says I’m gonna have to

31
00:02:04,410 –> 00:02:06,810
research this myself.
It’s great.

32
00:02:06,810 –> 00:02:10,250
So to peer behind the curtain,
listeners, Adam does a great job

33
00:02:10,250 –> 00:02:12,570
of like breaking down the topics
and giving notes.

34
00:02:12,810 –> 00:02:15,810
And it became very clear that he
was real time putting notes as

35
00:02:15,810 –> 00:02:18,290
he was watching the documentary,
as I was reading them, I was

36
00:02:18,290 –> 00:02:19,970
like.
Oh my God, this is word for

37
00:02:19,970 –> 00:02:21,330
word.
What I was thinking while

38
00:02:21,330 –> 00:02:24,250
watching it as well.
It was like, what is happening

39
00:02:24,410 –> 00:02:26,850
here?
Yeah, we’re still going to talk

40
00:02:26,850 –> 00:02:30,250
about that documentary.
But in terms of information

41
00:02:30,250 –> 00:02:33,810
about the theory we’re covering,
we had to reach out for some

42
00:02:33,810 –> 00:02:34,970
other sources.
Yeah.

43
00:02:35,210 –> 00:02:37,770
And it’s a weird theory.
I don’t know how best to

44
00:02:37,770 –> 00:02:42,090
describe it.
The Nazi A 432 theory, I guess.

45
00:02:42,170 –> 00:02:48,330
Which sounds like some robot AI.
The Nazi a 432, yeah?

46
00:02:48,610 –> 00:02:52,450
I mean take the name Nazi out of
there and it’s a pretty cool

47
00:02:52,450 –> 00:02:56,890
name for in like a 432.
Just sounds like I’m listening

48
00:02:56,890 –> 00:02:59,850
if you’re if you say hey, you
want to know about a 432.

49
00:03:00,210 –> 00:03:03,420
Absolutely.
I’m gonna say yes, and I expect

50
00:03:03,420 –> 00:03:06,420
it’s gonna be yeah, like cool
robot shit, but it’s not.

51
00:03:06,660 –> 00:03:13,420
It’s, you know, th checks 1138
was really surpassed by 8432 and

52
00:03:13,580 –> 00:03:17,900
OK, sure, all right.
This is a wild theory that

53
00:03:17,900 –> 00:03:22,440
claims.
But in 1939, infamous Nazi creep

54
00:03:22,520 –> 00:03:27,680
Joseph Goebbels instigated a
movement to change the standard

55
00:03:27,800 –> 00:03:34,280
tuning for musical instruments
from 432 Hertz to 440 Hertz.

56
00:03:35,000 –> 00:03:37,720
This is the kind of shit Travis
you deal with sometimes.

57
00:03:37,720 –> 00:03:40,040
You do audio engineering.
You’re a musician.

58
00:03:40,440 –> 00:03:43,280
Yeah.
And like tuning to a 440 is like

59
00:03:43,360 –> 00:03:46,040
anybody who’s used a chromatic
tuner.

60
00:03:46,120 –> 00:03:48,840
Like it says that and you just
go, I guess, sure.

61
00:03:49,280 –> 00:03:52,920
Like, I guess I’m tuning to that
because you said so.

62
00:03:53,240 –> 00:03:56,040
But what I’m hearing you say
though about this tuning is that

63
00:03:56,040 –> 00:04:00,920
things were one way and then
come 1939, everything changed.

64
00:04:01,080 –> 00:04:05,560
Everything changed.
This was the 1939 meeting that

65
00:04:05,560 –> 00:04:08,040
changed everything.
I just.

66
00:04:08,640 –> 00:04:11,820
I love it like.
The way this conspiracy works,

67
00:04:11,820 –> 00:04:15,180
or the way this theory works, is
that the entire world was like,

68
00:04:15,340 –> 00:04:18,700
all right, we need to figure out
tunings and we need to figure

69
00:04:18,700 –> 00:04:21,220
out how the Nazis are going to
tune instruments.

70
00:04:21,420 –> 00:04:26,460
It doesn’t make any sense to me.
It really doesn’t, and it’s one

71
00:04:26,460 –> 00:04:30,220
of those theories that for me,
falls apart right away.

72
00:04:30,260 –> 00:04:34,060
Because whenever someone tells
you this, I mean the obvious.

73
00:04:34,490 –> 00:04:35,850
Question is going to be, well,
why?

74
00:04:35,890 –> 00:04:40,090
Why did the Nazis want to change
the tuning of musical

75
00:04:40,090 –> 00:04:44,890
instruments to 440 Hertz?
And the answer is usually, oh,

76
00:04:44,890 –> 00:04:47,610
you know, to win the war.
Which raises the next obvious

77
00:04:47,610 –> 00:04:51,650
question, how are they going to?
Yeah, and the answer is by

78
00:04:51,650 –> 00:04:55,330
making us sad because.
Slowly over decades, just

79
00:04:56,530 –> 00:05:00,250
eroding your happiness by 8
Hertz difference.

80
00:05:00,670 –> 00:05:04,270
Because you know how Americans
were really happy during World

81
00:05:04,270 –> 00:05:05,470
War Two?
When I.

82
00:05:05,550 –> 00:05:09,110
Mean.
Like all of the males under 40

83
00:05:09,110 –> 00:05:11,710
were sent off the fight in the
fucking war.

84
00:05:11,870 –> 00:05:17,110
Everyone was so thrilled about
the rationing and about the lack

85
00:05:17,110 –> 00:05:20,390
of resources that people were
just like This is the best.

86
00:05:20,950 –> 00:05:24,630
I also Here’s where falls of.
Williams, Baseball.

87
00:05:25,270 –> 00:05:29,280
Everything was great.
What falls apart for me is,

88
00:05:29,480 –> 00:05:32,880
let’s actually say it’s true.
Let’s say that’s exactly what

89
00:05:32,880 –> 00:05:34,680
the Nazis did.
They were like, we got them.

90
00:05:34,760 –> 00:05:37,240
We’re going to do this.
And we’re like, that’s what we

91
00:05:37,240 –> 00:05:39,800
kept after we won World War Two.
We’re like, well, we’re just

92
00:05:39,800 –> 00:05:42,920
going to leave the Nazi tuning
alone, like, that’s fine, just

93
00:05:42,920 –> 00:05:44,360
keep it.
Yeah, yeah.

94
00:05:44,440 –> 00:05:47,600
And also they didn’t win the
war, so that.

95
00:05:47,800 –> 00:05:50,360
Yes, it didn’t work it.
Didn’t work either.

96
00:05:50,600 –> 00:05:53,280
Or if they did try it.
It’s like who fucking cares?

97
00:05:53,280 –> 00:05:55,880
Well, they didn’t win the World
War, but they won the tuning

98
00:05:55,880 –> 00:05:58,720
war, you know what I’m saying?
Right long con.

99
00:05:58,800 –> 00:06:03,760
And also, like the Nazis lost
in, you know, in terms of World

100
00:06:03,760 –> 00:06:07,200
War Two just means like we
adopted them into the American

101
00:06:07,280 –> 00:06:09,800
government.
Yeah, I mean, did you not want

102
00:06:09,800 –> 00:06:12,160
to go into space?
But, you know, you gotta have

103
00:06:12,160 –> 00:06:15,000
Nazis to go to space.
Yeah, or to nuke Japan.

104
00:06:15,200 –> 00:06:17,320
Yeah, did you not want to nuke
Japan?

105
00:06:18,460 –> 00:06:21,140
I bet Japan was like, hey.
Japan’s like.

106
00:06:22,380 –> 00:06:24,220
So.
Fucking they were like, you

107
00:06:24,220 –> 00:06:26,620
know, we should, we should have
taken in some Nazis.

108
00:06:26,620 –> 00:06:29,020
We were, they were our friends.
Exactly.

109
00:06:29,100 –> 00:06:31,840
Why didn’t we get there?
Nuke bombs.

110
00:06:32,000 –> 00:06:35,480
Damn it, we fucked up.
So we are going to talk about

111
00:06:35,560 –> 00:06:37,280
the documentary in question
here.

112
00:06:37,280 –> 00:06:40,520
It’s called Oh, It Hurts.
But we’ll dive into this theory

113
00:06:40,520 –> 00:06:43,960
a little more first.
But you know, Adam, to someone

114
00:06:43,960 –> 00:06:46,800
who’s just listening, they might
think you mean like hurts, like

115
00:06:46,800 –> 00:06:48,960
pain.
But it’s it’s not spelled that

116
00:06:48,960 –> 00:06:50,000
way.
It’s a punny title.

117
00:06:50,040 –> 00:06:53,160
It’s a punny title.
It’s a little word play for you.

118
00:06:53,160 –> 00:06:55,640
A little conspiracy theory word
play.

119
00:06:55,640 –> 00:07:00,680
Oh, it hurts, Hertz.
Can I tell you?

120
00:07:01,060 –> 00:07:02,780
Reference to the car rental
company out.

121
00:07:03,100 –> 00:07:05,820
That’s what I was going to say.
I’m such an idiot that when you

122
00:07:05,820 –> 00:07:08,340
first sent this to me, I was
like, oh, conspiracy about

123
00:07:08,340 –> 00:07:09,340
rental cars.
I like it.

124
00:07:09,820 –> 00:07:12,980
What do we what is it you know
like And then I was like, Oh no,

125
00:07:12,980 –> 00:07:16,660
the sound just my first thought
was rental cars.

126
00:07:16,860 –> 00:07:21,460
So I really feel hurts The
company kind of owns hurts the

127
00:07:21,460 –> 00:07:25,260
word more than the frequency.
Kind of, Yeah, right.

128
00:07:25,710 –> 00:07:28,110
I wonder how hurts the company
came up with that.

129
00:07:28,270 –> 00:07:29,990
There were Nazis.
They were just a bunch of Nazis.

130
00:07:30,550 –> 00:07:32,350
The red cars, yeah.
It’s Nazis.

131
00:07:32,390 –> 00:07:34,470
Yeah.
So, yeah, there are a couple of

132
00:07:34,470 –> 00:07:38,190
different write ups out there
that get into how this theory

133
00:07:38,510 –> 00:07:41,310
happened, along with that
documentary that we’ll talk

134
00:07:41,310 –> 00:07:43,270
about later.
For now, one of the better

135
00:07:43,270 –> 00:07:47,150
explanations of this theory out
there comes from a writer named

136
00:07:47,430 –> 00:07:50,550
Jacob Marion.
And give him the spelling of

137
00:07:50,550 –> 00:07:52,990
that first name.
I sure could be mispronouncing

138
00:07:52,990 –> 00:07:54,230
it.
It looks like Yakub.

139
00:07:54,560 –> 00:07:58,160
I think it might be Yakub, yeah.
Well, that takes on a whole

140
00:07:58,160 –> 00:08:03,400
other conspiracy hinge to it,
because that’s the name that the

141
00:08:03,400 –> 00:08:07,520
Nation of Islam assigns to the
evil scientist who created white

142
00:08:07,520 –> 00:08:10,320
people in a lab.
Well, I mean, actually, that

143
00:08:10,320 –> 00:08:13,880
just tracks for me.
Yeah, this is probably a

144
00:08:13,880 –> 00:08:18,570
different Yakub.
How many coops are there?

145
00:08:18,730 –> 00:08:20,970
This one.
The one who created evil white

146
00:08:20,970 –> 00:08:22,530
people.
And then that’s it, right?

147
00:08:22,530 –> 00:08:24,650
There’s just two, yeah.
These two, yeah.

148
00:08:24,730 –> 00:08:28,610
And one of the things they
explain in this article is all

149
00:08:28,610 –> 00:08:34,970
of the allegedly mystical
properties surrounding the 432

150
00:08:34,970 –> 00:08:38,370
Hertz frequency.
Because the argument here is

151
00:08:38,370 –> 00:08:42,809
that, well, 432 is what it used
to be, and then the Nazis came

152
00:08:42,809 –> 00:08:46,690
along and changed it to 4:40.
Because one of the things people

153
00:08:46,690 –> 00:08:50,650
say about the 432 Hertz
frequency is that it’s like the

154
00:08:50,650 –> 00:08:54,690
frequency of nature and that all
these ancient cultures and

155
00:08:54,690 –> 00:08:57,770
civilizations used it, Prince
used it.

156
00:08:57,850 –> 00:09:02,130
And it’s supposed to have these,
like, special magic properties.

157
00:09:02,250 –> 00:09:04,650
It feels like you can stop it,
Prince used it.

158
00:09:04,650 –> 00:09:06,690
Like if you go Prince, Prince
was all right with.

159
00:09:06,690 –> 00:09:07,970
That’s probably the one we
should use.

160
00:09:07,970 –> 00:09:09,610
Let’s just make it the Prince
standard.

161
00:09:09,690 –> 00:09:13,290
Yeah, exactly.
Until you start talking opiates.

162
00:09:13,620 –> 00:09:15,060
Then.
Yeah, don’t do that.

163
00:09:15,300 –> 00:09:15,980
Yeah.
Don’t.

164
00:09:16,100 –> 00:09:19,980
Don’t go the Prince route.
And he took 432 opiates.

165
00:09:19,980 –> 00:09:23,220
You’re like, that’s too many
opiates, Prince Jesus, That

166
00:09:23,220 –> 00:09:27,680
hurts.
So here’s a quote from this

167
00:09:27,680 –> 00:09:32,440
article about one of the magical
things about 432 just as a

168
00:09:32,440 –> 00:09:36,400
number, not as a frequency.
Indeed, it is an interesting

169
00:09:36,400 –> 00:09:38,760
number.
It is a sum of 4 consecutive

170
00:09:38,760 –> 00:09:46,240
primes, 103107109113.
It is exactly 3 gross, where

171
00:09:46,240 –> 00:09:50,120
gross equals 144 as a
traditional unit and equilateral

172
00:09:50,120 –> 00:09:52,840
triangle whose area and
perimeter are equal.

173
00:09:53,210 –> 00:09:58,690
Has the area of exactly sqrt 432
End Quote and it’s like, yeah,

174
00:09:58,690 –> 00:10:00,570
if they didn’t say that, I was
going to say all that.

175
00:10:00,730 –> 00:10:05,730
I mean all of that tracks also
is did AI write this article?

176
00:10:05,730 –> 00:10:09,610
It is just words.
It is a whole lot of words.

177
00:10:09,940 –> 00:10:12,580
And I don’t know.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a I

178
00:10:12,580 –> 00:10:15,740
cranked this out.
But it’s also too like an equal.

179
00:10:16,100 –> 00:10:18,780
What was it?
An equilateral triangle whose

180
00:10:18,780 –> 00:10:21,500
area, perimeter are equal.
That’s already what an

181
00:10:21,540 –> 00:10:24,980
equallytical triangle is.
You do it.

182
00:10:25,060 –> 00:10:26,740
Were you paying you by the word
AI?

183
00:10:26,740 –> 00:10:30,220
What’s happening here?
Yeah, I think they were maybe

184
00:10:30,420 –> 00:10:33,980
just explaining what an
equilateral triangle is, but the

185
00:10:33,980 –> 00:10:36,860
problem is anyone who’s going to
understand that sentence.

186
00:10:37,340 –> 00:10:40,060
Already knows what an
equilateral triangle is.

187
00:10:40,460 –> 00:10:43,140
You don’t have to Yaku.
Explain it to him.

188
00:10:43,940 –> 00:10:45,700
Don’t Yaku.
Explain me bro.

189
00:10:46,220 –> 00:10:48,140
Right.
They also mention other stuff,

190
00:10:48,140 –> 00:10:52,740
like how there are 432 Buddhist
statues on Mount Meru.

191
00:10:52,820 –> 00:10:55,060
Ever been?
I summered there as a child.

192
00:10:55,220 –> 00:10:56,020
Nice.
Yeah.

193
00:10:56,510 –> 00:10:58,470
I brought a Buddha statue home
with me.

194
00:10:58,470 –> 00:11:02,630
There’s actually only 431.
You know, now that you mentioned

195
00:11:02,630 –> 00:11:05,270
it, the last time I was there, I
was like, this feels like it’s

196
00:11:05,270 –> 00:11:08,270
just like one off.
Yeah, we either need to add 8

197
00:11:08,270 –> 00:11:12,070
more or take more away.
I can’t decide what we need to

198
00:11:12,070 –> 00:11:13,590
do.
It’s actually right here behind

199
00:11:13,590 –> 00:11:15,310
me.
Looks like a cardboard cut out

200
00:11:15,310 –> 00:11:17,910
of the Iron Giant, but it’s
actually a.

201
00:11:18,660 –> 00:11:20,620
What we say Buddha statue.
A Buddha statue?

202
00:11:20,620 –> 00:11:24,500
Yeah, no, a lot of people don’t
realize that Buddha looked like

203
00:11:24,580 –> 00:11:26,620
a robot that was voiced by Vin
Diesel.

204
00:11:26,620 –> 00:11:29,900
Most people don’t realize that.
The Iron Giant of his day.

205
00:11:30,980 –> 00:11:32,860
Very much so.
I would argue.

206
00:11:32,860 –> 00:11:35,540
Siddhartha Iron Giant Gutama was
his name.

207
00:11:37,140 –> 00:11:41,220
There are also some suggestions
that this frequency is somehow

208
00:11:41,220 –> 00:11:43,460
related to the location of
chakras.

209
00:11:43,780 –> 00:11:46,700
Oh, which prove it’s not, you
know.

210
00:11:47,740 –> 00:11:50,300
I also I I love this quote from
the article.

211
00:11:50,580 –> 00:11:53,500
There is even a claim that
scientists at Nike found out

212
00:11:53,500 –> 00:11:58,460
that the best golf balls have
432 dimples on them.

213
00:11:58,540 –> 00:12:00,900
I like that because it’s not a
claim.

214
00:12:00,940 –> 00:12:04,420
You could just Google that.
Here is a quote from Nike about

215
00:12:04,420 –> 00:12:05,340
the golf.
Balls.

216
00:12:05,860 –> 00:12:10,620
They say they have a quote 432
dimple pattern cover designed

217
00:12:10,620 –> 00:12:14,220
for long accurate flights.
That’s great, because I mean

218
00:12:14,220 –> 00:12:17,020
that is literally like you’re
conflating 2 things.

219
00:12:17,100 –> 00:12:21,140
Things you’re like, well, 432
dimples to make a golf ball go

220
00:12:21,220 –> 00:12:24,020
clearly has something to do with
you know how golf balls travel

221
00:12:24,020 –> 00:12:28,420
like sound.
So that’s got to be the best way

222
00:12:28,420 –> 00:12:31,860
to tune things because of
chakras and Buddhist statues

223
00:12:31,900 –> 00:12:34,340
you’re like, so fuck are you
talking about?

224
00:12:35,420 –> 00:12:38,580
They do it on one pretty
interesting point in this

225
00:12:38,580 –> 00:12:44,580
article when they’re shooting
down the idea of 432 being a

226
00:12:44,580 –> 00:12:47,980
magical number as it pertains to
frequencies.

227
00:12:48,060 –> 00:12:51,340
And here it goes.
This quote is kind of long, but

228
00:12:51,380 –> 00:12:53,740
you’ll all survive.
It is important to understand

229
00:12:53,740 –> 00:12:57,900
that 432 Hertz refers to the
number of vibrations per second,

230
00:12:58,140 –> 00:13:02,780
and one second is a rather
arbitrarily chosen unit,

231
00:13:02,860 –> 00:13:05,340
originally from ancient times
through the middle age.

232
00:13:05,740 –> 00:13:12,460
The hour was divided into two
3-4 or 12 equal parts, but never

233
00:13:12,460 –> 00:13:15,580
into 60, so there wasn’t even a
minute.

234
00:13:15,580 –> 00:13:17,940
Fractions of a minute were not
used at all.

235
00:13:17,980 –> 00:13:20,940
There were no devices at the
time that could measure such

236
00:13:20,940 –> 00:13:23,940
short periods of time.
Had we stuck with dividing

237
00:13:23,940 –> 00:13:27,860
everything into 12 parts, the
second could have been 112th of

238
00:13:27,860 –> 00:13:32,540
a minute, or perhaps 1700 and
28th of an hour, which would

239
00:13:32,540 –> 00:13:35,340
give a completely different
numerical value.

240
00:13:35,420 –> 00:13:39,860
You for the same frequency.
The current definition is just a

241
00:13:39,860 –> 00:13:41,660
coincidence.
I thought that was kind of

242
00:13:41,660 –> 00:13:44,540
interesting and a good point if
nothing else.

243
00:13:44,700 –> 00:13:47,180
Yeah.
Also, there’s just so many

244
00:13:47,180 –> 00:13:50,340
things about time in that that
I’m like, when did we come up

245
00:13:50,340 –> 00:13:52,220
with second?
There’s your conspiracy.

246
00:13:52,220 –> 00:13:55,020
Who came up with seconds?
Who started measuring things

247
00:13:55,020 –> 00:13:57,260
that way?
And I think they do actually get

248
00:13:57,260 –> 00:14:00,220
into that a little bit in that
article, which we’ll link to.

249
00:14:00,220 –> 00:14:04,860
It’s a I I appreciate the tone
they take with this conspiracy

250
00:14:04,860 –> 00:14:07,180
theory, because it’s not one of
those articles that’s like,

251
00:14:07,620 –> 00:14:10,780
here’s the facts you decide for
yourself.

252
00:14:11,060 –> 00:14:12,620
They’re just like, now this is
bullshit.

253
00:14:12,700 –> 00:14:15,580
I like that you like the tone of
an article about frequencies.

254
00:14:15,860 –> 00:14:18,220
That makes me very happy.
I don’t get it.

255
00:14:18,220 –> 00:14:20,980
What do you mean?
It’s a I’ll explain later.

256
00:14:21,220 –> 00:14:21,780
It’s an.
It’s.

257
00:14:21,780 –> 00:14:25,510
It’s an inside joke.
So you know before we get a

258
00:14:25,510 –> 00:14:28,710
little further into it, if we’re
going to talk about 4:40 and I’d

259
00:14:28,710 –> 00:14:32,070
mentioned this to you earlier,
if we’re going to dive into it,

260
00:14:32,150 –> 00:14:36,030
if you take 440 and you remove
the zero, you got 4/4 and if you

261
00:14:36,030 –> 00:14:40,850
double that you get 8-8 and the.
8th letter of the alphabet is H

262
00:14:41,010 –> 00:14:43,130
so you got 2H’s so it’s Heil
Hitler.

263
00:14:43,330 –> 00:14:47,810
So 440 is clearly a Nazi noise.
That does actually make a lot

264
00:14:47,810 –> 00:14:49,810
sense.
It just totally checks out, you

265
00:14:49,810 –> 00:14:51,330
know.
And I feel like we could have

266
00:14:51,330 –> 00:14:54,210
just, like, tweeted that.
Yeah, that recording, this pod.

267
00:14:57,210 –> 00:14:58,850
We got the same amount of
information.

268
00:15:00,690 –> 00:15:03,690
Travis thinks all noises are
Nazi noises and then they’ve

269
00:15:03,690 –> 00:15:06,170
been like, OK, well, finally
tweet went viral.

270
00:15:06,370 –> 00:15:11,610
Well, that makes sense.
So this same article, and pretty

271
00:15:11,610 –> 00:15:15,370
much any article you’ll read
debunking this Nazi theory,

272
00:15:15,410 –> 00:15:20,810
traces the genesis of the 432
Hertz debate back to the 19th

273
00:15:20,810 –> 00:15:23,490
century.
And one of the things they bring

274
00:15:23,490 –> 00:15:28,330
up in particular in this article
is the 19. 19th century pitch

275
00:15:28,330 –> 00:15:31,890
wars, which I had never heard
of.

276
00:15:32,170 –> 00:15:35,330
I hadn’t either, but I find this
fascinating and I’m not being

277
00:15:35,330 –> 00:15:39,050
sarcastic at all.
And the best way to explain it

278
00:15:39,050 –> 00:15:42,050
is, if you play a stringed
instrument, those strings are

279
00:15:42,050 –> 00:15:44,170
gonna sound better the higher
the tension is.

280
00:15:44,450 –> 00:15:46,490
Like when you have to change
your strings, it’s usually

281
00:15:46,490 –> 00:15:49,130
because they’ve lost their
tension and so you have to

282
00:15:49,130 –> 00:15:51,370
replace them in the 19th
century.

283
00:15:51,740 –> 00:15:55,340
They weren’t manufacturing
different gauges of strings and

284
00:15:55,340 –> 00:15:58,180
things like that.
It wasn’t as readily available.

285
00:15:58,220 –> 00:16:03,180
So what orchestras of the time
would do is just tune their

286
00:16:03,180 –> 00:16:08,140
instruments a little bit higher
than everyone else to increase

287
00:16:08,140 –> 00:16:11,100
that string tension and make
their shit sound better.

288
00:16:11,180 –> 00:16:15,580
And this turned into a war,
basically, where all of these

289
00:16:15,580 –> 00:16:19,860
orchestras were competing to
play their stuff at higher pitch

290
00:16:19,860 –> 00:16:23,900
frequencies and.
This, as you can imagine if

291
00:16:23,900 –> 00:16:26,420
you’re a singer, was a nightmare
for singers.

292
00:16:26,460 –> 00:16:28,940
Oh, for.
Sure, you’re like this.

293
00:16:28,940 –> 00:16:30,300
Used to be in my register.
What?

294
00:16:30,300 –> 00:16:33,020
What are we doing now?
Yeah, and you know, not just

295
00:16:33,020 –> 00:16:36,460
that, but they would have to go
sing the same song in different

296
00:16:36,460 –> 00:16:38,740
registers at different
orchestras.

297
00:16:38,740 –> 00:16:39,740
Oh.
My God.

298
00:16:39,820 –> 00:16:43,580
Turns into a whole nightmare,
and apparently they complained

299
00:16:43,580 –> 00:16:48,020
about it enough in France that
the government there decided to

300
00:16:48,020 –> 00:16:55,260
make a 435 the official.
Standard 435 Hertz, not 432.

301
00:16:55,460 –> 00:16:59,340
Interesting.
And that was decided in 1859.

302
00:16:59,700 –> 00:17:03,260
And a bunch of orchestras and
opera houses and things all

303
00:17:03,260 –> 00:17:06,660
throughout Europe followed suit.
Somehow, Britain fucked it up.

304
00:17:06,740 –> 00:17:09,339
That doesn’t track at all for
how Britain is, yeah.

305
00:17:09,460 –> 00:17:12,940
They misinterpreted the French
tuning and made their official

306
00:17:12,940 –> 00:17:15,940
tuning 439.
Hurts.

307
00:17:16,940 –> 00:17:19,780
Yeah, alright.
I got each little from the

308
00:17:19,780 –> 00:17:21,700
French Blow and he wants me to
tone it.

309
00:17:21,700 –> 00:17:25,660
I think it says 439.
I said what we gonna do?

310
00:17:25,740 –> 00:17:30,400
Is it alright?
Alright, rough. 430 Mine

311
00:17:30,400 –> 00:17:32,240
Brother.
Hi, isn’t it?

312
00:17:32,600 –> 00:17:33,800
That’s what we’re turning to,
isn’t it?

313
00:17:33,920 –> 00:17:39,320
And so Britain is tuning to 439,
the rest of Europe is doing 435,

314
00:17:39,400 –> 00:17:45,760
and this state of absolute chaos
carries on for decades until

315
00:17:45,800 –> 00:17:47,520
1939.
Bom.

316
00:17:47,560 –> 00:17:48,080
Bom.
Bom.

317
00:17:49,320 –> 00:17:52,840
When it was decided at a meeting
of the British Standards

318
00:17:52,840 –> 00:17:57,120
Institute that we should all
just start fucking with 440

319
00:17:57,120 –> 00:18:01,340
Hertz for our tuning.
And the British Standards

320
00:18:01,460 –> 00:18:03,500
Institute?
That’s great.

321
00:18:03,820 –> 00:18:10,460
And this is the fateful meeting
that Gurbles and the Nazis are

322
00:18:10,460 –> 00:18:15,660
said to have infiltrated.
And in the name of changing the

323
00:18:15,660 –> 00:18:20,980
tuning of musical instruments to
make Americans so sad that we

324
00:18:20,980 –> 00:18:25,220
would lose the war, or just the
Allies so sad that we would lose

325
00:18:25,220 –> 00:18:26,980
the war.
You know now that you’re talking

326
00:18:26,980 –> 00:18:29,500
about it in this terms of
they’re changing all.

327
00:18:29,580 –> 00:18:32,420
Music to make people sad.
Wouldn’t it make Germans sad as

328
00:18:32,420 –> 00:18:34,020
well?
Isn’t everybody just going to be

329
00:18:34,020 –> 00:18:35,580
sad?
Who are you working for?

330
00:18:35,580 –> 00:18:39,900
Travis?
What’s with all these questions?

331
00:18:40,340 –> 00:18:43,460
You know, I’m just trying to
critically think about this idea

332
00:18:43,460 –> 00:18:46,420
of, like, if we’re making
everyone sad, some of those

333
00:18:46,420 –> 00:18:51,100
people are on our side.
That was always my question when

334
00:18:51,500 –> 00:18:56,780
early on in COVID there was this
like conspiracy theory about 5G

335
00:18:56,900 –> 00:18:57,940
spreading COVID.
Right.

336
00:18:58,980 –> 00:19:00,900
And it’s like.
That’s going to get the people

337
00:19:00,900 –> 00:19:03,780
spreading it too.
Like, that’s not a smart bomb.

338
00:19:03,780 –> 00:19:06,180
That’s just like 5G’s
everywhere.

339
00:19:06,180 –> 00:19:07,700
That’s just a bomb.
Yeah, it’s not.

340
00:19:07,700 –> 00:19:11,980
It’s a dumb bomb.
And so I was just thinking,

341
00:19:11,980 –> 00:19:16,300
like, the real sinister act is
that if we were having tuning

342
00:19:16,300 –> 00:19:20,780
wars in the 19th century to,
like, go higher, then we get

343
00:19:20,780 –> 00:19:22,790
like.
You know, corn coming in and

344
00:19:22,790 –> 00:19:24,510
going like everything needs to
be lower.

345
00:19:24,550 –> 00:19:27,030
You know, like they come and
change everything and the night

346
00:19:27,110 –> 00:19:30,110
in the 1990s.
So that’s where your real

347
00:19:30,110 –> 00:19:32,230
conspiracy is, is the corn
spiracy.

348
00:19:32,550 –> 00:19:36,070
And and they have notoriously
happy fans.

349
00:19:37,070 –> 00:19:40,550
Just don’t believable, just just
love the sound of slappy clicky

350
00:19:40,550 –> 00:19:44,670
bass tones, yeah.
So it does stand to reason that

351
00:19:44,670 –> 00:19:48,270
maybe this theory is true.
So the thing about that meeting

352
00:19:48,270 –> 00:19:52,850
is even if the Nazis were there.
And they probably were like they

353
00:19:52,850 –> 00:19:55,770
were the German government in
1939.

354
00:19:56,650 –> 00:19:59,530
All you’re really saying is the
German government was at this

355
00:19:59,530 –> 00:20:02,490
meeting of a bunch of world
governments and it’s like, well,

356
00:20:02,490 –> 00:20:05,370
yeah, no shit, they were at the
36 Olympics too.

357
00:20:05,690 –> 00:20:08,250
Can you believe the Republicans
are in Congress?

358
00:20:08,290 –> 00:20:10,810
Yeah, that half of them are.
That’s what the.

359
00:20:11,320 –> 00:20:14,000
It is.
And even if they were there, and

360
00:20:14,000 –> 00:20:18,360
even if they were the ones who
recommended the change to 440

361
00:20:18,360 –> 00:20:23,640
Hertz, when you take that
British 439 Hertz thing into

362
00:20:23,880 –> 00:20:28,840
account, this is meaningless.
Like, I guess I’m not an expert

363
00:20:28,840 –> 00:20:33,000
in sound wave frequencies or
whatever, but I bet that jump

364
00:20:33,000 –> 00:20:38,160
from 439 to 440 in Britain had
zero impact.

365
00:20:38,630 –> 00:20:41,350
On the outcome of the war.
If I want to imagine what I

366
00:20:41,350 –> 00:20:44,670
think really happened is the
Nazis are at this British

367
00:20:44,670 –> 00:20:47,310
standard institute and there’s
Sikh highland, right?

368
00:20:47,590 –> 00:20:48,350
But of.
Course.

369
00:20:48,550 –> 00:20:50,910
But the British Institute thinks
they’re raising their hand.

370
00:20:50,990 –> 00:20:54,510
So they’re like, yes, Germany.
And they’re like, what if we

371
00:20:54,710 –> 00:20:57,470
were 440?
Oh, there’s only one more?

372
00:20:57,470 –> 00:20:59,190
Sure, why not?
Why not, bruv?

373
00:20:59,230 –> 00:21:01,390
There’s only one more, you know,
since a unity.

374
00:21:01,550 –> 00:21:07,110
All the wild gurbles is looking
at that tweet of yours smiling.

375
00:21:08,140 –> 00:21:11,820
So even then, the part where it
was officially adopted as the

376
00:21:11,820 –> 00:21:16,380
standard everywhere, it didn’t
happen until 1955 when the Nazis

377
00:21:16,380 –> 00:21:19,740
were well past defeated.
So it’s kind of a baseless

378
00:21:19,740 –> 00:21:22,300
theory.
Yeah, it’s just like somebody

379
00:21:22,300 –> 00:21:25,420
was just had free time and they
just decided, well, I saw the

380
00:21:25,420 –> 00:21:28,500
British standards was 1939 and I
saw Goebbels was there.

381
00:21:28,500 –> 00:21:32,540
So I’m just going to say Nazis
made 440 tuning.

382
00:21:32,620 –> 00:21:34,780
It’s interesting you should ask
because.

383
00:21:35,090 –> 00:21:36,130
It’s almost like I read the
notes.

384
00:21:38,450 –> 00:21:43,730
Up next, we’re going to get into
how this theory started.

385
00:21:43,890 –> 00:21:50,010
Right after this break.
So right around the time the

386
00:21:50,010 –> 00:21:53,250
documentary we’re going to talk
about In a Minute was released,

387
00:21:53,370 –> 00:21:57,490
a meme started circulating on
the Internet.

388
00:21:57,530 –> 00:21:59,210
Oh, I should get on that.
I’ve heard it’s cool.

389
00:21:59,330 –> 00:22:00,530
It is.
It’s pretty neat.

390
00:22:00,530 –> 00:22:02,570
You can find really cool
information.

391
00:22:03,250 –> 00:22:04,770
Accurate, accurate information
too.

392
00:22:05,010 –> 00:22:07,410
Like this meme that was going
around.

393
00:22:07,530 –> 00:22:11,330
It was around August 2021, and
we’ll link to all of this in the

394
00:22:11,330 –> 00:22:15,290
show, notes the meme.
It’s very colorful, very

395
00:22:15,290 –> 00:22:16,970
psychedelic.
It’s got a picture of Jimi

396
00:22:16,970 –> 00:22:20,050
Hendrix, except the planets are
in his Afro.

397
00:22:20,090 –> 00:22:22,250
And he’s got like, a wormhole in
his Afro.

398
00:22:22,490 –> 00:22:24,330
Yeah, yeah, there’s a lot
happening there.

399
00:22:24,450 –> 00:22:29,440
And it says, did you know?
Jimi Hendrix all caps, along

400
00:22:29,440 –> 00:22:33,400
with John Lennon all caps.
Bob Marley and Prince not all

401
00:22:33,400 –> 00:22:35,040
caps.
Yeah, what the hell happened

402
00:22:35,040 –> 00:22:36,960
there?
All tune their music to a

403
00:22:36,960 –> 00:22:42,280
specific frequency of 432 Hertz.
It is known as the beat of the

404
00:22:42,440 –> 00:22:47,320
earth has substantial healing
benefits, and ancient Egyptian

405
00:22:47,320 –> 00:22:52,440
and Greek instruments were
discovered tuned to 432 Hertz

406
00:22:52,560 –> 00:22:54,120
paws.
Standbys.

407
00:22:54,200 –> 00:22:57,400
No fucking way.
An instrument would hold its

408
00:22:57,400 –> 00:23:01,640
goddamn tuning.
I got a guitar I tuned yesterday

409
00:23:01,640 –> 00:23:03,960
that I guarantee you is not in
tune right now.

410
00:23:04,200 –> 00:23:08,400
You can’t take a guitar outside
in cold weather and expect it to

411
00:23:08,400 –> 00:23:13,000
keep its fucking tuning and.
Also, do like, how do you know

412
00:23:13,000 –> 00:23:15,280
that they didn’t just it’s so
arbitrary.

413
00:23:15,280 –> 00:23:19,480
It’s so fucking arbitrary.
All right, back to this meme.

414
00:23:19,640 –> 00:23:23,760
However, since 1953, it’s
actually 1955.

415
00:23:23,920 –> 00:23:27,360
Nice.
All music has been tuned to 440

416
00:23:27,360 –> 00:23:31,160
Hertz.
This frequency has no scientific

417
00:23:31,160 –> 00:23:32,560
relationship with.
Our.

418
00:23:32,640 –> 00:23:35,800
Users.
And actually causes the brain to

419
00:23:35,800 –> 00:23:40,120
become agitated.
The Nazis in World War Two use

420
00:23:40,120 –> 00:23:44,680
this frequency against their
enemies to make them feel and

421
00:23:44,680 –> 00:23:50,400
think a certain way and meme.
And there’s so many things

422
00:23:50,400 –> 00:23:52,920
towards the end there that I
take exception to.

423
00:23:52,920 –> 00:23:57,080
It’s like it has no scientific
relationship with our universe

424
00:23:57,400 –> 00:23:59,880
other than the fact that we used
things in our universe to

425
00:23:59,880 –> 00:24:02,840
measure it.
So it’s very much part of our

426
00:24:02,840 –> 00:24:05,200
universe.
It also do.

427
00:24:05,440 –> 00:24:09,400
It gets very aggressive.
You know, I I heard you heard

428
00:24:09,400 –> 00:24:11,640
something at 4:40.
I guess you feel a certain way

429
00:24:11,640 –> 00:24:17,240
about it, like you’re you’re
making it, you know, I apologize

430
00:24:17,240 –> 00:24:19,880
for you feeling bad.
I’m sorry That’s how you took

431
00:24:19,880 –> 00:24:22,640
it.
And also, this frequency has no

432
00:24:22,640 –> 00:24:24,920
scientific relationship with our
universe.

433
00:24:25,280 –> 00:24:28,960
It sounds like it has the exact
same scientific relationship

434
00:24:28,960 –> 00:24:33,450
with our universe that 432 does.
But just in the opposite way.

435
00:24:33,450 –> 00:24:35,610
One makes you happy, one makes
you sad.

436
00:24:35,850 –> 00:24:39,290
I’m sorry, meme stirs, but that
is a scientific relationship.

437
00:24:39,570 –> 00:24:43,210
Yeah, our universe.
Man, it’s like 432 is the blue

438
00:24:43,210 –> 00:24:46,290
pill and 4:40 is the red pill.
You know what I mean, man?

439
00:24:47,530 –> 00:24:51,850
It is kind of like that.
And just 8 Hertz bro. 8 Hertz is

440
00:24:51,850 –> 00:24:54,090
what separates you from being
happy or sad.

441
00:24:54,290 –> 00:24:57,170
Think about that next time you
fucking listening to something.

442
00:24:58,010 –> 00:25:00,370
OK, thanks dude.
All right.

443
00:25:00,370 –> 00:25:03,770
Thank you.
Yeah, exactly.

444
00:25:04,330 –> 00:25:05,410
Uh huh.
Great.

445
00:25:06,010 –> 00:25:09,610
So again, can I get a table for
two is what I asked you.

446
00:25:11,330 –> 00:25:15,370
So when this meme started going
around, Reuters picked up on it,

447
00:25:15,450 –> 00:25:19,490
and we’ll link to this article.
Also, they dug a little deeper

448
00:25:19,490 –> 00:25:22,730
into the Nazi allegations.
They traced the origins of the

449
00:25:22,730 –> 00:25:28,330
claim back to a 1988 article in
the publication run by OG

450
00:25:28,330 –> 00:25:33,410
Conspiracy Theorist.
Lyndon la Rouche, always

451
00:25:33,410 –> 00:25:35,610
reliable.
Lyndon la Rouche.

452
00:25:36,130 –> 00:25:40,450
Yeah, that’s a name that does
not have a tinge of credibility

453
00:25:40,450 –> 00:25:43,290
to it.
No, no, not at all.

454
00:25:43,330 –> 00:25:45,530
It’s not just that he’s a
conspiracy theorist.

455
00:25:45,650 –> 00:25:48,810
He was borderline cult leader
status.

456
00:25:48,970 –> 00:25:53,850
That guy was bad times and even
then, the article.

457
00:25:54,250 –> 00:26:00,170
Says nothing about the 440 Hertz
tuning, making people feel and

458
00:26:00,170 –> 00:26:04,970
think a certain way.
All it’s about is the Nazis

459
00:26:04,970 –> 00:26:09,890
allegedly being the ones who
organized this meeting and made

460
00:26:09,890 –> 00:26:14,890
this decision to switch to
standard 440 Hertz tuning.

461
00:26:15,010 –> 00:26:18,570
And the article just says how
the Nazis ruined musical tuning.

462
00:26:18,610 –> 00:26:23,370
It’s nothing at all about them
using that tuning to win the

463
00:26:23,370 –> 00:26:25,380
war.
Wouldn’t it be great if that’s

464
00:26:25,380 –> 00:26:28,220
all Nazis did?
Like if you’re like if we looked

465
00:26:28,220 –> 00:26:30,180
back in history and like, oh,
there was just, you know, a

466
00:26:30,180 –> 00:26:32,660
group of people called the Nazis
what they do and they fucked up

467
00:26:32,660 –> 00:26:35,260
how we tuned things.
Oh, that’s inconvenient.

468
00:26:35,580 –> 00:26:36,740
Anything else?
No.

469
00:26:36,860 –> 00:26:38,940
No, that’s not we didn’t.
We didn’t let them do anything

470
00:26:38,940 –> 00:26:40,580
else we did.
We stopped them with the tuning.

471
00:26:40,580 –> 00:26:42,220
That’s why we can never let them
come back.

472
00:26:42,500 –> 00:26:47,540
Yeah, so next time you see it,
Nazi, you slapped them at 432

473
00:26:47,540 –> 00:26:51,310
words.
And so Reuters also points out

474
00:26:51,590 –> 00:26:55,070
another obvious drawback to this
theory, which is that not all

475
00:26:55,070 –> 00:26:59,310
music is tuned to 440 Hertz.
What just?

476
00:26:59,310 –> 00:27:03,230
Because some group in 1955 was
like, this is what it should be.

477
00:27:03,350 –> 00:27:05,870
It’s not like the cops are going
to show up and arrest you.

478
00:27:06,320 –> 00:27:08,240
If you tune to a different
frequency.

479
00:27:08,400 –> 00:27:10,320
Going back to corn, you know,
corn.

480
00:27:10,320 –> 00:27:13,480
Corn was like, we’re going to
tune to like, floppy noise and

481
00:27:13,480 –> 00:27:15,080
then we’re just going to all be
at that noise.

482
00:27:15,320 –> 00:27:17,280
And they sold millions of
albums.

483
00:27:17,480 –> 00:27:19,960
The stuff they got in trouble
for had nothing to do with their

484
00:27:19,960 –> 00:27:23,480
tuning the ability.
Yeah, Nirvana played in drop

485
00:27:23,480 –> 00:27:26,640
detuning all the time.
It’s such a common thing.

486
00:27:26,680 –> 00:27:29,240
Reuters points out that Cuban
music.

487
00:27:29,530 –> 00:27:34,850
Tends to tune to a more a
frequency closer to 436 Hertz.

488
00:27:35,050 –> 00:27:38,490
Oh, another thing they point out
there was a Prince tour where

489
00:27:38,490 –> 00:27:41,330
during an interview someone
mentioned that all of the pianos

490
00:27:41,330 –> 00:27:44,290
had to be tuned.
Different because Japan uses a

491
00:27:44,290 –> 00:27:47,370
different tuning.
Now if this was a Nazi plot

492
00:27:47,410 –> 00:27:52,930
during World War Two, no one was
closer to the Nazis then well,

493
00:27:53,290 –> 00:27:58,730
Italy, but also.
So like, Japan probably would

494
00:27:58,730 –> 00:28:02,170
have just adopted it back then
if this was really a thing.

495
00:28:02,170 –> 00:28:04,890
Yeah, they’ve been like, well,
our friend said this is what we

496
00:28:04,890 –> 00:28:07,810
have to do, so please, please do
in this way, yeah.

497
00:28:07,930 –> 00:28:09,850
So this theory is.
Bullshit.

498
00:28:09,890 –> 00:28:12,610
Yeah, I mean it.
After someone says it to you.

499
00:28:12,610 –> 00:28:15,730
And if it you ingest it and you
go, Oh yeah, I guess there are

500
00:28:15,730 –> 00:28:17,290
different frequencies.
Oh, I wonder.

501
00:28:17,410 –> 00:28:19,930
Yeah, interesting idea.
Like change the way music is

502
00:28:19,930 –> 00:28:21,690
tuned to, like affect people’s
mood.

503
00:28:22,080 –> 00:28:25,320
And then the second you go but
wait a minute doesn’t like if

504
00:28:25,440 –> 00:28:27,800
immediately falls apart The
second you say but wait a

505
00:28:27,800 –> 00:28:29,840
minute.
But you have to have beyond

506
00:28:29,840 –> 00:28:32,120
suspension of disbelief.
You have to have no critical

507
00:28:32,120 –> 00:28:35,280
thinking at all for this to
resonate with you getting

508
00:28:35,440 –> 00:28:38,920
resonate gonna.
Nevertheless, that doesn’t

509
00:28:38,960 –> 00:28:43,400
change the fact that an entire
documentary that is ostensibly

510
00:28:43,400 –> 00:28:47,520
about this theory does exist.
And that was the initial idea.

511
00:28:47,520 –> 00:28:50,760
We were just going to cover this
documentary, it’s called again.

512
00:28:51,160 –> 00:28:55,880
So it hurts and it is really
about so much more than this

513
00:28:55,880 –> 00:28:57,960
theory.
I would argue it is almost not

514
00:28:57,960 –> 00:29:01,640
about this theory at all and is
more about how the filmmaker

515
00:29:01,640 –> 00:29:04,040
loves the word gonorrhea.
That is true.

516
00:29:05,000 –> 00:29:12,440
I would say what I Yeah,
there’s, I would say this

517
00:29:12,640 –> 00:29:16,400
documentary other than saying
this theory at one point and

518
00:29:16,400 –> 00:29:19,810
then addressing it.
Eventually it is almost not

519
00:29:19,810 –> 00:29:21,810
about this at all.
It’s almost like that was like,

520
00:29:21,810 –> 00:29:24,970
well, if we don’t add this on, I
don’t know how we market this.

521
00:29:25,010 –> 00:29:29,810
Yeah, and it feels like the meme
going around and this

522
00:29:29,810 –> 00:29:33,650
documentary being a thing are
not unrelated because they

523
00:29:33,650 –> 00:29:37,330
happen in such close proximity.
And you’re right, the Nazi stuff

524
00:29:37,330 –> 00:29:40,610
does feel a little just kind of
like tagged on.

525
00:29:40,970 –> 00:29:44,590
Yeah, so.
The lady who made this

526
00:29:44,710 –> 00:29:49,630
documentary is a singer and
performer and and I guess a bit

527
00:29:49,630 –> 00:29:51,910
of a audio file in her own
regard.

528
00:29:51,990 –> 00:29:55,230
And it just seems like she was
like, you know, I studied film

529
00:29:55,230 –> 00:29:57,150
at art school but I never did
anything with it.

530
00:29:57,150 –> 00:30:00,070
So what if I did a film?
Now is what it felt like to me.

531
00:30:00,150 –> 00:30:04,350
And it doesn’t look bad, No,
it’s shot well.

532
00:30:04,430 –> 00:30:08,910
The lighting is fine, the sound
quality is great if you’re like

533
00:30:08,910 –> 00:30:12,210
an ASMR type and.
You really want to hear those

534
00:30:12,410 –> 00:30:17,330
dry erase markers squeaking on
that board, but it’s also just

535
00:30:17,330 –> 00:30:20,850
so weird.
It’s a documentary about her,

536
00:30:20,850 –> 00:30:24,890
which is my least favorite thing
for a documentary filmmaker to

537
00:30:24,890 –> 00:30:29,090
do is tell us it’s about one
thing and then it’s really just

538
00:30:29,090 –> 00:30:32,850
a highlight of you.
Yeah, and it’s you wanted to

539
00:30:32,850 –> 00:30:36,610
make a vanity piece and then
you’re like, did Nazis make a

540
00:30:36,610 –> 00:30:40,820
sound that makes people sad?
I don’t know, but I love sound.

541
00:30:41,020 –> 00:30:45,220
And you’re like, OK, great.
Yeah, it’s the woman’s name is

542
00:30:45,220 –> 00:30:47,700
Laurie Amot.
There’s a scene early on where

543
00:30:47,700 –> 00:30:49,900
she breaks a glass with her
voice.

544
00:30:50,310 –> 00:30:52,030
I don’t know if that don’t think
that really happened.

545
00:30:52,030 –> 00:30:52,870
I.
Don’t know.

546
00:30:52,990 –> 00:30:57,150
She’s way into sounds and
recording sounds and mixing

547
00:30:57,150 –> 00:30:59,390
sounds.
She talks about how sounds make

548
00:30:59,390 –> 00:31:01,830
her emotional.
She says champagne bubbles are

549
00:31:01,830 –> 00:31:04,750
one of her favorite sounds.
And Travis, I don’t doubt that

550
00:31:04,750 –> 00:31:07,030
one bit.
There’s a scene in the movie

551
00:31:07,030 –> 00:31:10,230
where she’s saying that, and
it’s a closeup of a champagne

552
00:31:10,230 –> 00:31:12,230
glass, right?
And it’s got a little audio

553
00:31:12,230 –> 00:31:13,990
designed to it.
You’re like, OK, that’s cool.

554
00:31:14,070 –> 00:31:18,150
I got distracted by the fact
that there is a hair in frame.

555
00:31:18,690 –> 00:31:21,130
And I’m like, the fuck is
happening with this champ?

556
00:31:21,130 –> 00:31:22,970
Like, great that that’s your
favorite song.

557
00:31:22,970 –> 00:31:24,850
Why is there hair in the
champagne?

558
00:31:25,090 –> 00:31:27,250
And then you pull it back and
it’s like, she’s holding it up

559
00:31:27,250 –> 00:31:32,290
to her ear and you’re like, OK,
but it’s just a weird shot to

560
00:31:32,290 –> 00:31:34,530
give me while you’re saying your
favorite thing.

561
00:31:34,530 –> 00:31:37,570
Is this because champagne and
hair don’t typically go

562
00:31:37,570 –> 00:31:41,210
together?
She she really reaches to make

563
00:31:41,450 –> 00:31:44,890
this about the Nazi thing too,
and I think a good example of

564
00:31:44,890 –> 00:31:48,050
that, there’s two quotes from
really early on.

565
00:31:49,250 –> 00:31:52,770
One, she says the sound of dogs
walking gives her the creeps

566
00:31:52,770 –> 00:31:55,050
because it reminds her of Nazis
marching.

567
00:31:55,130 –> 00:31:56,730
And here’s the thing.
No, it doesn’t.

568
00:31:57,010 –> 00:31:59,810
Huh?
No one thinks of dogs that way.

569
00:31:59,810 –> 00:32:02,170
Dogs rule, even if you hate
dogs.

570
00:32:02,490 –> 00:32:05,890
You know you’re the problem.
Yeah, that’s a big stretch.

571
00:32:05,890 –> 00:32:09,370
When you’re like when I see a
dog walking, all I can think

572
00:32:09,370 –> 00:32:13,570
about are the stormtroopers and
how they just ruined lives.

573
00:32:13,570 –> 00:32:18,050
You’re like from the dog.
The dog has a ball and wants to

574
00:32:18,050 –> 00:32:19,730
play fetch.
I don’t know what the fuck

575
00:32:19,730 –> 00:32:22,580
you’re talking about.
The dog is innocent.

576
00:32:22,820 –> 00:32:25,620
Yeah.
Also, I somehow find this quote

577
00:32:25,700 –> 00:32:27,820
even weirder.
This is a direct quote.

578
00:32:27,860 –> 00:32:30,860
I like music.
Gurbles also liked music.

579
00:32:30,900 –> 00:32:35,100
I find that strange End Quote.
You find it strange that a

580
00:32:35,260 –> 00:32:39,260
person liked music.
Huh.

581
00:32:40,580 –> 00:32:43,380
What?
Why is that straight and then

582
00:32:43,380 –> 00:32:47,140
just moves on?
It makes no sense.

583
00:32:47,660 –> 00:32:50,610
I like eating food.
Cannibals eat people.

584
00:32:50,690 –> 00:32:53,650
I find that strange.
What the fuck?

585
00:32:53,770 –> 00:32:55,850
Should I try people?
Yes.

586
00:32:56,210 –> 00:32:57,770
MMM.
Delicious long pig.

587
00:33:00,210 –> 00:33:04,770
And that’s when she sort of
touches on the theory in this

588
00:33:04,770 –> 00:33:07,290
documentary.
She runs through like some of

589
00:33:07,290 –> 00:33:09,370
the basics.
And I had in here that we were

590
00:33:09,370 –> 00:33:13,170
going to go through the theory a
little bit, but we already did.

591
00:33:13,170 –> 00:33:14,810
We did that, yeah.
And simply.

592
00:33:15,400 –> 00:33:17,560
Far more extensively than this
documentary.

593
00:33:18,120 –> 00:33:22,080
Yes, you can skip the
documentary and just replay the

594
00:33:22,080 –> 00:33:25,160
first part of this and you will
be more informed that if you

595
00:33:25,160 –> 00:33:29,320
watch the entire documentary.
100% But instead, let’s talk

596
00:33:29,320 –> 00:33:32,200
about her point in that fucking
listening device at people on

597
00:33:32,200 –> 00:33:36,360
the streets of Providence, RI
and getting no reaction.

598
00:33:36,360 –> 00:33:40,960
I want the outtakes of people
like pointing guns back at her

599
00:33:40,960 –> 00:33:45,120
or like yelling at her because.
I wouldn’t stand for that.

600
00:33:45,200 –> 00:33:47,760
No.
And it’s it’s such a look at me

601
00:33:47,760 –> 00:33:50,680
moment that it has to be people
going the fuck.

602
00:33:50,680 –> 00:33:53,240
Because if you’re going to go
around with a shotgun mic to

603
00:33:53,240 –> 00:33:57,400
like, record sounds, that’s kind
of a very obvious thing.

604
00:33:57,400 –> 00:34:00,240
It takes up a lot of room like,
OK, I get that, but she’s

605
00:34:00,240 –> 00:34:04,840
wearing a reel to reel tape
recorder around her waist, which

606
00:34:04,840 –> 00:34:07,400
nobody has done in like 70
years.

607
00:34:07,400 –> 00:34:11,000
That hasn’t been the way people
record sounds since like the

608
00:34:11,000 –> 00:34:13,889
50s.
So it’s like you’re walking

609
00:34:13,889 –> 00:34:17,130
around with an antique, being
like, I’m recording you on your

610
00:34:17,130 –> 00:34:20,570
skateboard, I’m recording you
having an argument, I’m

611
00:34:20,570 –> 00:34:23,810
recording that car.
Everything’s noise and sound.

612
00:34:23,810 –> 00:34:25,889
It could be a song.
You’re like, no, it isn’t.

613
00:34:25,889 –> 00:34:29,409
You’re weird.
I guarantee to the residents of

614
00:34:29,409 –> 00:34:33,409
Providence, RI, she is the crazy
sound lady.

615
00:34:34,210 –> 00:34:35,250
That’s.
Why?

616
00:34:35,250 –> 00:34:38,449
No one was reacting.
It’s like, oh, there’s the woman

617
00:34:38,449 –> 00:34:40,889
who’s going to point a fucking
microphone at you if you walk

618
00:34:40,889 –> 00:34:42,730
past.
Look, just don’t give her any

619
00:34:42,730 –> 00:34:44,370
money.
Don’t talk to her.

620
00:34:44,370 –> 00:34:47,090
Just give her a wide berth.
Let her do her thing.

621
00:34:47,489 –> 00:34:51,250
She’s harmless ish, but just
don’t engage.

622
00:34:51,730 –> 00:34:54,050
And when she first left the
house with that thing, I was

623
00:34:54,050 –> 00:34:56,770
like, man, that’s a cool fucking
purse.

624
00:34:58,850 –> 00:35:02,050
It is big.
It is not a small, you know,

625
00:35:02,090 –> 00:35:04,010
spy.
It’s not good.

626
00:35:04,050 –> 00:35:07,620
It’s not a good look.
In, like, I have a phone case.

627
00:35:07,620 –> 00:35:10,060
It’s not on my phone right now,
but I have a phone case that

628
00:35:10,060 –> 00:35:12,700
looks like an old cassette.
And that’s what I thought was

629
00:35:12,700 –> 00:35:14,700
happening.
I thought this was just like a

630
00:35:14,700 –> 00:35:18,420
functional bag designed to look
like a reel to reel recorder.

631
00:35:18,820 –> 00:35:22,900
And then she starts pointing the
world’s longest shotgun mic at

632
00:35:22,940 –> 00:35:26,420
every sound she hears.
And I’m like, oh, you’re really

633
00:35:26,420 –> 00:35:27,940
trying to be noticed right now.
Huh.

634
00:35:27,980 –> 00:35:29,340
Yeah.
For those who don’t know, a

635
00:35:29,340 –> 00:35:31,540
shotgun mic, it’s like it’s a
long tube.

636
00:35:31,540 –> 00:35:33,460
It looks like the barrel of a
shotgun, which is why it’s

637
00:35:33,460 –> 00:35:36,010
called a shotgun mic.
And they’re typically, I don’t

638
00:35:36,010 –> 00:35:39,290
know, foot, foot and a half.
Some are like maybe even 2 feet

639
00:35:39,290 –> 00:35:42,570
long.
Hers is like longer than an arm.

640
00:35:42,730 –> 00:35:44,850
You could pole vault with this
shotgun mic.

641
00:35:45,170 –> 00:35:47,890
And she’s just pointing it at
random people.

642
00:35:47,970 –> 00:35:52,210
It’s the kind of shit only white
people are comfortable doing.

643
00:35:52,370 –> 00:35:55,930
Yeah, and she has a pistol grip
on it, so it looks like some

644
00:35:55,930 –> 00:35:58,890
like 50s ray gun that she’s
pointing at people.

645
00:35:59,130 –> 00:36:02,450
Like if you saw it from far
enough away you would.

646
00:36:02,880 –> 00:36:06,880
Think she was pointing guns?
Like Grandma Realtor, Reel is

647
00:36:06,880 –> 00:36:08,240
trying to shoot people with a
death ray.

648
00:36:08,240 –> 00:36:10,920
We got to we got to stop her.
Yeah, it’s insane.

649
00:36:11,200 –> 00:36:14,880
And no one says a word.
And that’s how I know she is a

650
00:36:14,880 –> 00:36:18,000
fixture in this community.
Like, there was a guy where I

651
00:36:18,000 –> 00:36:21,160
grew up in Peoria named Willie
York.

652
00:36:21,360 –> 00:36:25,440
Willie York lived on the streets
of Peoria, IL.

653
00:36:25,600 –> 00:36:30,560
He would wear necklaces with
animal teeth, like made out of

654
00:36:30,560 –> 00:36:31,760
animal teeth.
OK.

655
00:36:31,760 –> 00:36:35,600
Yeah.
And would sometimes eat cats.

656
00:36:35,720 –> 00:36:38,720
Like if he found a dead cat, he
would sometimes give it some

657
00:36:38,720 –> 00:36:41,120
noms.
But otherwise very like he was

658
00:36:41,120 –> 00:36:43,480
just like a fixture.
Like you would just sometimes

659
00:36:43,560 –> 00:36:45,680
you’d see him and you’d be like,
there’s Willie York.

660
00:36:45,680 –> 00:36:48,920
He’s that one of those people
that everyone in town knew.

661
00:36:48,920 –> 00:36:51,640
He was like a local celebrity, I
guarantee.

662
00:36:51,680 –> 00:36:54,960
That’s Lauria Mott in
Providence, RI.

663
00:36:55,160 –> 00:36:58,240
When I lived in Venice, CA, not
Italy.

664
00:36:58,700 –> 00:37:00,660
When I lived in Venice, there
was a guy named Pink Man.

665
00:37:00,740 –> 00:37:05,820
And Pink Man, not surprisingly,
wore head to toe spandex that

666
00:37:05,820 –> 00:37:08,780
was pink and rode A unicycle.
And he had a Cape and you’d see

667
00:37:08,780 –> 00:37:10,140
him around and you’re like,
that’s Pink Man.

668
00:37:10,180 –> 00:37:12,820
But then one day, Pink Man
showed up at my work, like

669
00:37:12,860 –> 00:37:14,660
delivering something on an
elevator.

670
00:37:15,660 –> 00:37:19,500
And he came out of the elevator
in pink spandex with a Cape on a

671
00:37:19,500 –> 00:37:22,660
unicycle to deliver something.
And I went pink man, he goes,

672
00:37:22,700 –> 00:37:24,580
you know, the pink man.
I’m like, motherfucker,

673
00:37:24,580 –> 00:37:26,700
Everybody knows you.
You’re the guy in pink spandex

674
00:37:26,700 –> 00:37:31,050
on the unicycle, yes.
You know the pink man.

675
00:37:32,690 –> 00:37:35,250
Why did you call me that?
Because your name bro.

676
00:37:35,490 –> 00:37:39,050
Oh yeah, I forgot him where.
So yeah, she’s pointing these

677
00:37:39,050 –> 00:37:41,290
mic.
Yeah, this documentary.

678
00:37:41,290 –> 00:37:44,210
It’s artsy as fuck.
There’s one scene where she just

679
00:37:44,210 –> 00:37:46,890
stares off into the distance
silently.

680
00:37:47,200 –> 00:37:50,840
And it carries on a long time.
And that is immediately followed

681
00:37:50,840 –> 00:37:55,000
by an initially unnamed woman
just hitting a huge drum one

682
00:37:55,000 –> 00:37:57,800
time and then looking at the
camera like you feeling that

683
00:37:57,920 –> 00:38:00,120
shouldn’t say anything.
And it turns out that’s Dame

684
00:38:00,120 –> 00:38:04,400
Evelyn Glenny, A percussionist
who I can’t tell she’s been deaf

685
00:38:04,400 –> 00:38:07,400
since the age of 12.
Or she started going deaf at the

686
00:38:07,400 –> 00:38:10,800
age of 12.
And I’m not trying to be ablest

687
00:38:10,800 –> 00:38:14,080
in any way, but she did not
strike me as somebody who was

688
00:38:14,080 –> 00:38:16,110
deaf.
I got the sense she was maybe

689
00:38:16,110 –> 00:38:19,550
deaf in one ear.
Oh, OK, because it definitely

690
00:38:19,550 –> 00:38:21,790
seemed like she could hear
something.

691
00:38:21,870 –> 00:38:24,790
Well, also in the way she talks
too, there’s no.

692
00:38:24,790 –> 00:38:27,510
Yeah, there’s no.
But I mean, you know, if it

693
00:38:27,510 –> 00:38:31,270
started at age 12, then she had
plenty of time to, like, develop

694
00:38:31,270 –> 00:38:33,070
her voice.
But I’ve.

695
00:38:33,270 –> 00:38:36,350
Russianist also.
I’ve talked to people who are

696
00:38:36,510 –> 00:38:40,110
very hard of hearing or who are,
who have lost hearing after

697
00:38:40,110 –> 00:38:43,010
they’ve done that.
And after a while, you you lose

698
00:38:43,010 –> 00:38:45,770
the nuances of I’m speaking
quietly, I’m speaking loudly,

699
00:38:45,770 –> 00:38:48,130
and there it’s just it’s either
too loud or too quiet.

700
00:38:48,490 –> 00:38:51,810
And she very much kind of
understood where she was in a

701
00:38:51,810 –> 00:38:54,290
conversation with someone.
Yeah, I mean, she might wear

702
00:38:54,290 –> 00:38:56,050
hearing aids.
No, I’m sure.

703
00:38:56,090 –> 00:38:59,050
But the whole time she’s on
screen, I’m like, this is going

704
00:38:59,050 –> 00:39:01,650
to tie into the Nazi thing.
Yeah, I was thinking that too.

705
00:39:01,650 –> 00:39:03,770
I was like, oh, this is going to
be the lady who’s like.

706
00:39:04,340 –> 00:39:07,300
Nazis took my hearing and here’s
how they did it.

707
00:39:07,340 –> 00:39:10,340
I’m like, oh, OK.
And it does tie into the theory,

708
00:39:10,340 –> 00:39:15,100
but only in that Laurie Amat is
like, well, Dame Evelyn.

709
00:39:15,220 –> 00:39:19,780
She more feels music as a
vibration as opposed to hearing

710
00:39:19,780 –> 00:39:21,500
it.
And I’m like, yeah, I think it

711
00:39:21,500 –> 00:39:23,140
might be a little bit of both,
but it’s fine.

712
00:39:23,260 –> 00:39:25,980
And she’s just like, is this
what?

713
00:39:26,390 –> 00:39:29,990
Gurbles and the Nazis were doing
and it’s like, is what what

714
00:39:29,990 –> 00:39:34,670
gurbles and the Nazis were doing
Like what is your question even?

715
00:39:35,150 –> 00:39:39,260
Were they?
Hitting a drum and feeling it in

716
00:39:39,260 –> 00:39:41,860
their arm and decided that
dynamics.

717
00:39:42,020 –> 00:39:44,060
It has to do more with
resonance.

718
00:39:44,220 –> 00:39:47,060
Is that what the Nazis were?
I have no idea.

719
00:39:47,060 –> 00:39:50,340
What is your point, woman?
And then they briefly cut back

720
00:39:50,340 –> 00:39:53,460
to Dame Evelyn, talking about
how important the sounds are

721
00:39:53,500 –> 00:39:55,380
around you.
And she goes, do you even think

722
00:39:55,380 –> 00:39:57,900
about the high and low
frequencies in a home before you

723
00:39:57,900 –> 00:40:00,140
buy it?
It’s like, how how would I do

724
00:40:00,140 –> 00:40:03,020
that?
How walk in with a?

725
00:40:03,580 –> 00:40:06,220
Guitar tuner like I’m hunting
ghosts.

726
00:40:06,420 –> 00:40:12,140
I’m big 444 in this room.
This house is tuned to 420, and

727
00:40:12,140 –> 00:40:13,900
that’s a weird one.
I can’t do it.

728
00:40:14,540 –> 00:40:17,500
I feel high.
Yeah, I’m just.

729
00:40:17,500 –> 00:40:19,740
I’m real forgetful and hungry.
I can’t live here.

730
00:40:21,140 –> 00:40:23,540
Yeah, then it just jumps to
Arkansas.

731
00:40:23,540 –> 00:40:26,160
Now we’re in Arkansas.
Yeah, you have this in your

732
00:40:26,160 –> 00:40:28,800
notes a few times, and I loved
it because I felt the same

733
00:40:28,800 –> 00:40:31,800
thing.
They just put up no context.

734
00:40:32,000 –> 00:40:34,160
Like they’ll put up a city name
but not the state.

735
00:40:34,320 –> 00:40:36,920
And you’re like, where are we?
There’s what?

736
00:40:37,200 –> 00:40:39,840
And then now we’re in Arkansas,
USA.

737
00:40:40,000 –> 00:40:43,360
Because everything up to this,
it’s been like Providence and

738
00:40:43,360 –> 00:40:45,760
city names and now it’s like,
well, is this?

739
00:40:46,330 –> 00:40:49,010
A city named Arkansas.
Right.

740
00:40:49,250 –> 00:40:52,370
Or do you think we just won’t
know that the city you’re about

741
00:40:52,370 –> 00:40:55,530
to name is in Arkansas, but
everyone does know Providence?

742
00:40:55,730 –> 00:40:57,610
No one knows the name Little
Rock.

743
00:40:57,610 –> 00:41:01,730
We can’t just say that.
The most famous gang banging

744
00:41:01,730 –> 00:41:04,370
documentary of all time takes
place in Little Rock.

745
00:41:04,610 –> 00:41:06,730
It does.
That’s a gnarly one too.

746
00:41:07,090 –> 00:41:10,050
It is and gang banging meaning
like street gangs.

747
00:41:10,210 –> 00:41:12,890
People and also.
A lot of group fucking A.

748
00:41:12,890 –> 00:41:14,770
Lot of group sex.
Weird.

749
00:41:14,890 –> 00:41:18,950
Very weird.
So, Jamie Butt Turf.

750
00:41:19,350 –> 00:41:22,910
I did not care for this guy.
He smoked brown cigarettes.

751
00:41:22,990 –> 00:41:26,430
He lives in what looks like a
converted garage.

752
00:41:26,510 –> 00:41:28,630
Or was that just his workshop?
I don’t know.

753
00:41:28,830 –> 00:41:30,390
He’s got cats.
I like that part.

754
00:41:30,430 –> 00:41:32,590
But he is a researcher and
YouTuber.

755
00:41:32,630 –> 00:41:35,950
He says 440 Hertz is very
disharmonious to the body.

756
00:41:36,030 –> 00:41:40,670
And he brings up that meeting of
the British Standards Institute

757
00:41:40,710 –> 00:41:45,270
and says gurbles in the Nazis.
Spearheaded the effort to change

758
00:41:45,270 –> 00:41:49,030
the a note frequency and it’s
like, can you at least put some

759
00:41:49,030 –> 00:41:52,110
citations up on the screen?
Not that guy.

760
00:41:53,070 –> 00:41:56,910
None, none, he says.
The 432 tuning is found all

761
00:41:56,910 –> 00:42:00,030
throughout history and all sorts
of ancient cultures, and that

762
00:42:00,030 –> 00:42:03,550
means it must come from the body
and be sacred and yada yada

763
00:42:03,550 –> 00:42:06,550
yada.
But the part I really like is

764
00:42:06,550 –> 00:42:09,470
when he gets into how he doesn’t
talk to his family because

765
00:42:09,470 –> 00:42:12,470
they’re brainwashed and he sees
things differently.

766
00:42:12,880 –> 00:42:15,200
And at a higher level than most
people.

767
00:42:15,240 –> 00:42:19,160
And he has not questioned one
bit about any of this.

768
00:42:19,280 –> 00:42:23,240
No, he says.
People meet me and they either

769
00:42:23,240 –> 00:42:26,520
think I’m an idiot because
they’re brainwashed, or if

770
00:42:26,520 –> 00:42:29,770
they’re not brainwashed.
I’m a genius and you’re like

771
00:42:30,050 –> 00:42:33,850
fuck off, dude.
Like that guy for sure doesn’t

772
00:42:33,850 –> 00:42:38,090
talk to his family because his
mom won’t let him live in the

773
00:42:38,090 –> 00:42:41,610
garage for free anymore.
Like, that’s why he’s doesn’t

774
00:42:41,610 –> 00:42:44,090
talk to them, you know?
Yeah, that’s what brainwashed

775
00:42:44,370 –> 00:42:46,610
you.
Know my mom was like, you need

776
00:42:46,610 –> 00:42:49,330
to start paying rent.
I’m like, that’s just what not

777
00:42:49,330 –> 00:42:51,970
didn’t want you to think because
they tuned instruments to 440

778
00:42:51,970 –> 00:42:54,640
ma.
It takes 25 to 30 years to

779
00:42:54,640 –> 00:42:56,920
become a professional YouTube
mom.

780
00:42:57,160 –> 00:42:59,600
I’m on the cusp, Mom.
I’m on the cusp.

781
00:42:59,600 –> 00:43:02,880
You understand how hard it was
to get 50 subscribers.

782
00:43:03,080 –> 00:43:06,160
I’m so close.
Yeah, at this point I have in

783
00:43:06,160 –> 00:43:07,760
the notes.
I never thought I’d say this

784
00:43:07,760 –> 00:43:11,040
about a 90 minute documentary,
but this could be about 45

785
00:43:11,040 –> 00:43:14,280
minutes shorter.
Oh my God, it could be about 70.

786
00:43:14,660 –> 00:43:17,180
2 minutes shorter.
This is like an 18 minute

787
00:43:17,180 –> 00:43:20,820
conversation.
The next sequence I think really

788
00:43:20,900 –> 00:43:23,340
sums up this documentary
perfectly.

789
00:43:23,380 –> 00:43:28,140
First, it cuts Deloria Mott on
the streets of somewhere and she

790
00:43:28,140 –> 00:43:32,020
says it makes me crazy when I
find new shoes.

791
00:43:32,490 –> 00:43:37,290
And this happens and she just
one is just recording the sound

792
00:43:37,290 –> 00:43:39,130
her shoes are making when she
walks.

793
00:43:39,130 –> 00:43:41,050
Also, what does find new shoes
mean?

794
00:43:41,930 –> 00:43:45,290
I’m guessing she’s a freakin,
you know, she just goes around

795
00:43:45,290 –> 00:43:49,570
and whatever exists is now hers.
Means how you got that reel to

796
00:43:49,570 –> 00:43:50,490
reel recorder.
That’s.

797
00:43:50,730 –> 00:43:53,650
Probably, yeah.
So what was just throwing away

798
00:43:53,650 –> 00:43:55,730
this perfectly useless piece of
technology?

799
00:43:55,730 –> 00:43:58,370
It’s.
Expensive piece of vintage audio

800
00:43:58,370 –> 00:44:01,130
equipment was just in a box on
my porch.

801
00:44:01,250 –> 00:44:04,490
Weird then.
When the I would argue, the key

802
00:44:04,490 –> 00:44:08,130
moment in this documentary
happens next, And that is when,

803
00:44:08,530 –> 00:44:12,090
after complaining about her
microphone that she carries

804
00:44:12,090 –> 00:44:15,090
picking up the sound of her
shoes, she goes, I love the

805
00:44:15,090 –> 00:44:19,610
sound of the word gonorrhea.
And then she says gonorrhea

806
00:44:19,610 –> 00:44:25,810
about 7500 times in every
conceivable manner possible.

807
00:44:25,810 –> 00:44:28,760
Gonorrhea, gonorrhea.
Gonorrhea.

808
00:44:30,160 –> 00:44:33,080
Like, just every way you can say
it.

809
00:44:33,160 –> 00:44:35,400
And it is art.
Oh wait, no wait.

810
00:44:35,400 –> 00:44:38,320
Before I want to say it’s art,
let’s rewind and pretend I

811
00:44:38,320 –> 00:44:41,320
didn’t say it’s art yet.
Then a building collapses.

812
00:44:43,200 –> 00:44:44,560
Art.
Art.

813
00:44:44,680 –> 00:44:46,240
Here’s what I think was going
on.

814
00:44:46,520 –> 00:44:48,880
I think she had gonorrhea and
she’s like, I’m going to

815
00:44:48,880 –> 00:44:51,400
destigmatize it.
I’m going to say it so much.

816
00:44:51,400 –> 00:44:53,360
It’s just going to be normal.
It’s my movie.

817
00:44:53,360 –> 00:44:54,640
It’s my movie.
I can do whatever I want.

818
00:44:55,430 –> 00:44:57,270
And it worked.
Yeah, by the end you’re like,

819
00:44:57,430 –> 00:44:59,870
hey, God, it’s not so bad.
I heard it like 7500 times.

820
00:44:59,870 –> 00:45:02,150
Doesn’t bother anymore.
I think I’m comfortable with it

821
00:45:02,150 –> 00:45:04,790
now.
And then, man, next they

822
00:45:04,790 –> 00:45:06,550
interview a guy named Jeff,
folks.

823
00:45:06,910 –> 00:45:11,510
That guy.
He is a poet and cymatics

824
00:45:11,830 –> 00:45:14,270
expert.
I’m gonna guess he’s more one

825
00:45:14,270 –> 00:45:18,620
than the other.
Cymatics for people at home is

826
00:45:18,620 –> 00:45:22,340
either one, the study of wave
phenomena, especially sound in

827
00:45:22,340 –> 00:45:26,300
their visual representations, or
two, a therapy in which sound

828
00:45:26,300 –> 00:45:29,460
waves are directed at the body
with the aim of promoting

829
00:45:29,460 –> 00:45:31,580
health.
So like vibrating crystals and

830
00:45:31,580 –> 00:45:34,300
shit.
Or when someone says something

831
00:45:34,300 –> 00:45:39,580
really annoying and you go,
that’s cymatics.

832
00:45:39,700 –> 00:45:41,820
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
This section, yeah.

833
00:45:42,230 –> 00:45:44,830
Because here’s the thing.
He talks about how everything in

834
00:45:44,830 –> 00:45:48,350
the world is impacted by sound
vibration, including how we

835
00:45:48,350 –> 00:45:51,590
communicate with each other.
He talks about this shit at

836
00:45:51,750 –> 00:45:54,830
length.
And I am trying to be a better

837
00:45:54,830 –> 00:45:58,030
me, but I will say I found it
very funny.

838
00:45:58,380 –> 00:46:02,460
That a guy with ears as large as
his was like, I’m really

839
00:46:02,460 –> 00:46:05,500
influenced by sound.
I’m like, yeah, I think so, Man,

840
00:46:05,500 –> 00:46:09,540
that’s.
Seems to be he shows all this

841
00:46:09,540 –> 00:46:14,260
old timey footage of like, sand
and iron particles and things

842
00:46:14,260 –> 00:46:17,700
like getting into a formation
because they’re introduced to

843
00:46:17,700 –> 00:46:21,340
sound waves and things.
And he’s not the only one.

844
00:46:21,580 –> 00:46:24,180
Laurie Amat also asked the
question, well, is that

845
00:46:24,180 –> 00:46:27,540
happening inside our body when
we’re hit with sound waves?

846
00:46:27,660 –> 00:46:29,820
And it’s like did.
Did you ask a doctor?

847
00:46:29,860 –> 00:46:33,100
Yeah man, if you put an iron
plate in you and you put certain

848
00:46:33,100 –> 00:46:36,540
kinds of gypsum in there, it is
going to form a weird shape.

849
00:46:36,820 –> 00:46:38,740
But other than that, probably
not.

850
00:46:38,780 –> 00:46:42,620
And we do know there are sound
weapons, like the police have

851
00:46:42,660 –> 00:46:46,380
that big radar thing that they
can point at a crowd to make you

852
00:46:46,380 –> 00:46:49,740
feel weird and uncomfortable.
But I think we would recognize

853
00:46:49,740 –> 00:46:53,660
if it was also happening every
time we listen to fucking Why

854
00:46:53,660 –> 00:46:56,180
don’t we do it in the road by
The Beatles or something?

855
00:46:57,340 –> 00:46:59,830
Yeah.
Every time I listen to Hey Jude,

856
00:46:59,870 –> 00:47:03,190
it sounds like there’s a metal
scraping bug eating my brain.

857
00:47:03,270 –> 00:47:05,430
That’s just 440, bro.
That’s just how it is.

858
00:47:05,750 –> 00:47:13,670
That’s just that song, yes.
So yeah, we talked to Jeff Volks

859
00:47:13,750 –> 00:47:17,030
for about 2 1/2 hours in this
documentary.

860
00:47:17,190 –> 00:47:22,470
Don’t forget his semi naked yoga
to sound extravaganza in his

861
00:47:22,470 –> 00:47:24,950
yard, yeah.
Which is also not going to be

862
00:47:24,950 –> 00:47:27,910
the only extended scene
involving someone doing yoga.

863
00:47:30,480 –> 00:47:34,320
And so then we move on to
Bergen, Norway, which I had to

864
00:47:34,320 –> 00:47:35,680
look up.
Is that a city?

865
00:47:35,840 –> 00:47:38,880
Yes, it is.
So we don’t know what part of

866
00:47:38,880 –> 00:47:40,920
Norway it’s in.
It’s just the city of Bergen.

867
00:47:41,960 –> 00:47:45,760
So Laurie Amot is talking about
how she was on tour in Norway

868
00:47:45,760 –> 00:47:48,000
and in need of some good
vibrations.

869
00:47:48,080 –> 00:47:51,720
And then this is where we get to
see her doing like hanging yoga

870
00:47:51,720 –> 00:47:56,720
or something while an absolute
caricature of a woman plays a

871
00:47:56,720 –> 00:47:59,920
hurdy gurdy or some shit like
she’s goddamn sting.

872
00:48:00,080 –> 00:48:03,680
She’s playing like a concertina,
like bellows.

873
00:48:03,680 –> 00:48:07,130
That’s pumping a constant tone.
And someone in the room is

874
00:48:07,130 –> 00:48:10,370
singing and they’re hitting
quartz bowls and doing this like

875
00:48:10,370 –> 00:48:14,090
sound bath while people are
hanging from this like purple

876
00:48:14,090 –> 00:48:16,170
tapestry.
They’re being rocked like

877
00:48:16,170 –> 00:48:18,170
babies.
And then people are coming and

878
00:48:18,170 –> 00:48:21,650
humming into their bodies if
this would maybe like, get the

879
00:48:21,650 –> 00:48:24,810
fuck away from me.
And then Laurie just starts

880
00:48:24,810 –> 00:48:27,490
growling.
Yeah, She starts making noises

881
00:48:27,730 –> 00:48:29,410
like a trapped animal.
Yeah.

882
00:48:31,390 –> 00:48:35,350
I don’t know if you’ve ever
heard A Cornered Porcupine, but

883
00:48:35,350 –> 00:48:39,350
it sounded just like that.
So what this whole section was

884
00:48:39,350 –> 00:48:42,750
about is does what happens to
iron particles under a

885
00:48:42,750 –> 00:48:45,950
microscope also happened to us
inside our body?

886
00:48:45,950 –> 00:48:47,950
They don’t answer that question,
they just ask it.

887
00:48:48,110 –> 00:48:52,630
Yeah, and also, too, there was a
moment where she for sure came.

888
00:48:52,750 –> 00:48:55,350
She for sure had an orgasm by
this.

889
00:48:55,710 –> 00:48:57,430
Yeah, yeah.
Probably when that woman was

890
00:48:57,430 –> 00:49:00,070
blowing on her coop.
First I was like.

891
00:49:00,450 –> 00:49:02,810
Is that Lady, Oh my God, that
she’s putting her mouth on her?

892
00:49:03,450 –> 00:49:05,210
What the fuck?
It’s interesting.

893
00:49:05,410 –> 00:49:09,970
Norway’s Crazy Man.
I feel like that scene was like,

894
00:49:10,290 –> 00:49:12,690
I think if we filmed this, the
movie will pay for it.

895
00:49:12,770 –> 00:49:15,370
It felt like a very much like, I
want to do this thing and this

896
00:49:15,370 –> 00:49:18,010
will get paid for.
Yeah, I do feel like this was

897
00:49:18,010 –> 00:49:20,450
kind of a tax write off Mo.
Yeah, like, well, let’s take a

898
00:49:20,450 –> 00:49:23,410
trip to Norway and clear our
mind and come back and finish

899
00:49:23,410 –> 00:49:26,650
this documentary.
And so is Laurie a spy?

900
00:49:26,730 –> 00:49:29,170
Because there’s a part where
she’s in Norway just pointing

901
00:49:29,170 –> 00:49:32,970
her microphone.
Contraption at random apartment

902
00:49:32,970 –> 00:49:35,650
windows.
And This is why I’m not fun to

903
00:49:35,650 –> 00:49:39,490
watch movies with, because I’m
always as I’m watching it, I

904
00:49:39,490 –> 00:49:42,490
went That’s not how that works.
The amount you would have to

905
00:49:42,770 –> 00:49:45,490
crank the gain to be able to
point that microphone at a

906
00:49:45,490 –> 00:49:48,730
window at that distance to hear
it, anything that walked by

907
00:49:48,730 –> 00:49:52,480
would literally deafen you.
It’s not a magic wand where you

908
00:49:52,480 –> 00:49:55,480
can just point it at something
and hear what’s going on behind

909
00:49:55,480 –> 00:49:58,600
a brick wall, right?
Even if it was, yeah, you’re

910
00:49:58,600 –> 00:50:02,440
invading people’s privacy, dude.
She listens to people Having sex

911
00:50:02,440 –> 00:50:04,480
at one point, is what we’re
supposed to believe.

912
00:50:04,560 –> 00:50:07,640
Yeah, I love to imagine there’s
a moment where she had to go

913
00:50:07,640 –> 00:50:10,360
knock on that apartment door and
be like, hey, I just picked up

914
00:50:10,360 –> 00:50:11,560
noise.
You having sex?

915
00:50:11,560 –> 00:50:12,720
You want to sign this release?
Yeah.

916
00:50:12,720 –> 00:50:16,240
Will you sign this release so I
can use your orgasm in my movie

917
00:50:16,240 –> 00:50:18,320
about Nazi noise?
So I can use it.

918
00:50:18,320 –> 00:50:20,800
My weird Kurt Cobain montage of
heck.

919
00:50:21,080 –> 00:50:25,080
Bullshit music.
That would be kind of a cool

920
00:50:25,080 –> 00:50:27,760
credit, especially if you’re
just a random person in Norway.

921
00:50:27,760 –> 00:50:31,680
You’re like only have one credit
on IMDb and it’s, I don’t know

922
00:50:31,680 –> 00:50:34,680
why I’m Scottish now.
I don’t have one credit on IMDb.

923
00:50:34,680 –> 00:50:37,320
And it’s it’s sex noises in
this, like Nazi noise

924
00:50:37,440 –> 00:50:39,880
documentary, but it’s, you know?
Got my SAG card.

925
00:50:40,040 –> 00:50:42,520
Got my SAG card and you know,
every couple, every couple of

926
00:50:42,520 –> 00:50:44,920
months I get like a dime.
But you know, it’s a cool

927
00:50:44,920 –> 00:50:47,880
experience.
So her point in that contraption

928
00:50:47,880 –> 00:50:50,960
at random windows is followed by
a scene of someone driving way.

929
00:50:51,040 –> 00:50:55,400
Too fast through the Norway
countryside and I put a really

930
00:50:55,400 –> 00:50:58,200
great joke in the notes, I said.
I hope they’re headed to the

931
00:50:58,200 –> 00:51:04,040
interesting part of.
The time No such luck at them.

932
00:51:04,280 –> 00:51:06,800
They are in fact headed to the
most boring part of this

933
00:51:06,800 –> 00:51:11,720
document, which is an interview
with some Lex Luthor looking guy

934
00:51:11,720 –> 00:51:16,880
named Steve Arnie Skillbrae who
just wants to talk about his

935
00:51:16,880 –> 00:51:21,940
audio file music collection.
And I’d like to say he does

936
00:51:21,940 –> 00:51:24,340
reference himself as being an
audio file.

937
00:51:24,620 –> 00:51:29,620
He is more of a equipment
hoarder than an audio file.

938
00:51:29,700 –> 00:51:32,780
Yeah, he calls himself an audio
file, but he’s like I found

939
00:51:32,780 –> 00:51:36,400
Jeesh into garbage.
They threw him away because they

940
00:51:36,400 –> 00:51:38,360
suck.
And he’s like, these are the

941
00:51:38,360 –> 00:51:41,840
best speakers and there’s like
duct tape on them and like

942
00:51:41,840 –> 00:51:44,000
pieces of brick or something
like these.

943
00:51:44,000 –> 00:51:46,280
Like, I added this to make it
sound better.

944
00:51:46,440 –> 00:51:54,680
And you’re like, dude, that’s
ribs, I haven’t seen ribs like

945
00:51:54,680 –> 00:51:57,410
human bone.
And then he’s like telling you

946
00:51:57,410 –> 00:52:00,330
he’s like these speakers are
closed and not like the open

947
00:52:00,330 –> 00:52:03,530
ported ones that are popular now
that I do not care for.

948
00:52:03,650 –> 00:52:06,410
And I’m like, OK, buddy, all
right.

949
00:52:06,530 –> 00:52:10,690
And this is another part where I
was like this is going to lead

950
00:52:10,690 –> 00:52:12,650
to something right?
Ideally.

951
00:52:12,770 –> 00:52:15,690
And it really doesn’t.
There’s a.

952
00:52:16,310 –> 00:52:19,230
Admittedly a bummer of a moment
where we find out Stieg has

953
00:52:19,350 –> 00:52:21,790
cancer or had cancer, which that
sucks.

954
00:52:21,790 –> 00:52:23,510
Obviously I’m not gonna make fun
of him for that.

955
00:52:23,590 –> 00:52:26,310
I will make fun of him for his
speakers because seems like he

956
00:52:26,310 –> 00:52:30,950
pulled through so.
The healing power of sound.

957
00:52:32,170 –> 00:52:35,730
And yeah, he talks about how
David Bowie had the same cancer

958
00:52:35,770 –> 00:52:39,850
and he died from it.
And I was like, do it, do it.

959
00:52:39,890 –> 00:52:42,290
Say it’s because he tuned to a
440.

960
00:52:42,370 –> 00:52:44,210
Just do it.
He never says that.

961
00:52:44,250 –> 00:52:47,530
So then we move on to an
American Legion veteran bar in

962
00:52:47,570 –> 00:52:50,450
East Greenwich, CT.
I would guess.

963
00:52:50,690 –> 00:52:53,610
Probably something like that
documentary is a goddamn

964
00:52:53,610 –> 00:52:56,940
geography quiz and.
So what are we doing at this

965
00:52:56,940 –> 00:52:58,900
bar?
Finally, we’re getting to

966
00:52:58,900 –> 00:53:02,860
something important, which is
footage of Lori and her mom

967
00:53:02,940 –> 00:53:05,820
singing karaoke.
And should point out, Lori is

968
00:53:05,820 –> 00:53:08,300
not a young woman.
I think she’s in her late 60s.

969
00:53:08,300 –> 00:53:11,980
Her mom is like 91.
I think she’s like she’s really

970
00:53:11,980 –> 00:53:16,180
up there and there’s this really
weird scene before this.

971
00:53:16,580 –> 00:53:20,980
Where she’s holding this very
brittle looking 45 record and

972
00:53:20,980 –> 00:53:22,940
she’s like, this is the most
precious thing.

973
00:53:23,020 –> 00:53:25,900
This is one of the few
recordings of my mother singing.

974
00:53:25,900 –> 00:53:28,460
And I’m like, oh, her mother’s
no longer with us, OK, this is

975
00:53:28,460 –> 00:53:31,380
her connection to her past.
And she’s like, of course, you

976
00:53:31,380 –> 00:53:34,500
know, I’m grateful that she had
me, but I kind of wish she would

977
00:53:34,500 –> 00:53:37,660
have just been a singer.
And I’m like, what?

978
00:53:38,860 –> 00:53:40,900
And then it cuts to her in the
bar singing with her.

979
00:53:41,100 –> 00:53:44,020
I’m like, oh, she is singing and
she is, what the fuck are you

980
00:53:44,020 –> 00:53:45,920
talking about?
It’s so.

981
00:53:45,920 –> 00:53:49,680
Weird.
Wait, she’s alive.

982
00:53:49,840 –> 00:53:55,960
Wait, how old is your mom?
And then that cuts to a scene of

983
00:53:55,960 –> 00:53:58,160
a little girl playing with a
balloon.

984
00:53:58,160 –> 00:54:01,840
This is so fucked up.
That is then quickly followed by

985
00:54:01,840 –> 00:54:06,920
a scene of an old man snoring
while a little girl is in the

986
00:54:06,920 –> 00:54:10,440
room, and it seems like he’s
going to die from sleep apnea

987
00:54:10,440 –> 00:54:12,960
while this girl just like,
watches in.

988
00:54:13,330 –> 00:54:16,370
Silent awe.
But then he farts himself back

989
00:54:16,610 –> 00:54:22,010
to life.
And that’s when I have the note

990
00:54:22,090 –> 00:54:25,490
here that says I’m going to have
to research this fucking theory

991
00:54:25,490 –> 00:54:29,330
myself, Huh?
That first of all, your

992
00:54:29,330 –> 00:54:32,850
description of the scene, which
was again, almost like exactly

993
00:54:32,850 –> 00:54:35,450
how I described it.
And then that note, I was like,

994
00:54:35,810 –> 00:54:39,010
yeah, that’s pretty much the
turning point when the old man

995
00:54:39,130 –> 00:54:42,330
farts himself back into
existence and you go.

996
00:54:42,760 –> 00:54:44,400
This is not a movie about
anything.

997
00:54:44,440 –> 00:54:46,600
This is not.
I don’t know what the fuck this

998
00:54:46,600 –> 00:54:49,440
is, but this is not a movie
about Nazi noise.

999
00:54:49,440 –> 00:54:52,840
This is a movie about a woman
who is like, I have this really

1000
00:54:52,840 –> 00:54:56,440
funny idea, like, grandpa’s
snoring and you think he’s

1001
00:54:56,440 –> 00:54:58,520
dying.
It really, it sounds like a bear

1002
00:54:58,520 –> 00:55:00,000
growling.
It sounds like it snorts

1003
00:55:00,000 –> 00:55:02,120
somewhere in between and then he
dies.

1004
00:55:02,120 –> 00:55:04,160
And it’s like, did I just
witness my grandfather’s death?

1005
00:55:04,400 –> 00:55:08,720
But then he farts and now he’s
alive and you’re like, OK, This

1006
00:55:08,720 –> 00:55:10,320
is why they made therapy, you
know?

1007
00:55:10,480 –> 00:55:12,000
I don’t think we need to make a
movie.

1008
00:55:12,530 –> 00:55:16,290
And then after that we meet some
ambient musician lady named Yoko

1009
00:55:16,290 –> 00:55:18,730
Sen She.
Was adorable.

1010
00:55:20,970 –> 00:55:23,370
Yeah, she’s the highlight of
this.

1011
00:55:23,450 –> 00:55:26,330
She talks about how she’s
concerned about the sounds in

1012
00:55:26,370 –> 00:55:31,610
hospitals, and I was concerned
that we only had 29 minutes when

1013
00:55:32,370 –> 00:55:35,090
she’s introduced.
And I’m like, surely she’s not

1014
00:55:35,090 –> 00:55:38,410
going to be the one to make the
Nazi connection, but does not

1015
00:55:38,410 –> 00:55:42,760
feel like where we’re headed.
She starts talking about how

1016
00:55:42,800 –> 00:55:45,760
when you’re in the hospital,
like none of the noises are

1017
00:55:45,760 –> 00:55:48,840
harmonious, like they all kind
of clash with each other.

1018
00:55:49,240 –> 00:55:52,000
And she was talking about how
one note is it, You know, like

1019
00:55:52,000 –> 00:55:55,240
the heart monitor is a C and the
alert thing is like an F#.

1020
00:55:55,680 –> 00:55:57,200
And she’s like, that’s a
diminished 5th.

1021
00:55:57,200 –> 00:55:59,800
And this was a fun moment I had.
I was like, oh, that’s the devil

1022
00:55:59,800 –> 00:56:01,440
in music.
And then she goes, it’s the

1023
00:56:01,440 –> 00:56:03,080
devil in music.
And I was all fucky.

1024
00:56:03,080 –> 00:56:05,240
I know my shit.
I felt like, so proud of myself

1025
00:56:05,240 –> 00:56:06,640
in that moment.
I was like, I know what the

1026
00:56:06,640 –> 00:56:10,120
devil in music is, George.
Harrison called them naughty

1027
00:56:10,120 –> 00:56:12,160
chords.
Metallica called it their

1028
00:56:12,160 –> 00:56:14,680
biggest hit exactly.
Yeah.

1029
00:56:14,760 –> 00:56:19,000
So yeah, now after this, we
finally start getting to the

1030
00:56:19,000 –> 00:56:23,180
point of the documentary and.
By that I mean, I’m just joking.

1031
00:56:23,180 –> 00:56:27,780
There’s a scene of Lori riding a
I don’t know what she’s doing,

1032
00:56:27,780 –> 00:56:32,340
but my note says riding a back.
I don’t think that’s riding

1033
00:56:32,340 –> 00:56:34,180
horseback.
Yeah, she’s like, there was a

1034
00:56:34,180 –> 00:56:36,380
bunch of different things.
It was like, here’s all these

1035
00:56:36,380 –> 00:56:39,260
different noises in our opinions
of them, and then it’s like,

1036
00:56:39,380 –> 00:56:42,580
then there’s like a horror movie
close up of a dentist coming at

1037
00:56:42,580 –> 00:56:45,180
you.
Yeah, there’s a shot of her

1038
00:56:45,180 –> 00:56:50,270
grading cheese there.
Is a very fun anecdote about how

1039
00:56:50,310 –> 00:56:54,710
a friend of hers called to tell
her that his dad died, but he

1040
00:56:54,710 –> 00:56:58,910
started having a sneezing fit
and couldn’t get the words out.

1041
00:56:58,990 –> 00:57:01,870
So now every time she hears
someone sneeze, she thinks of

1042
00:57:01,870 –> 00:57:05,190
her friend’s dead father.
And that was pure comedy, right?

1043
00:57:05,190 –> 00:57:07,710
It was great because she’s
playing this clearly, like

1044
00:57:07,710 –> 00:57:11,550
recreated voice message that has
like bad staged sneezing in it.

1045
00:57:11,840 –> 00:57:14,840
And then she’s walking down the
street and the guy goes chew and

1046
00:57:14,840 –> 00:57:18,000
she’s all like, I can’t think of
my father, my friend’s father

1047
00:57:18,000 –> 00:57:19,560
dying when I hear someone’s
knees.

1048
00:57:19,920 –> 00:57:21,880
And like, none of this really
happened.

1049
00:57:21,880 –> 00:57:24,280
All of this is staged.
All of none of this is real.

1050
00:57:24,360 –> 00:57:27,800
But then we do get to her making
some phone calls to confirm this

1051
00:57:27,800 –> 00:57:29,680
theory about the Nazis.
And by that I mean.

1052
00:57:30,130 –> 00:57:32,970
She makes 1 phone call.
It was one of the funniest phone

1053
00:57:32,970 –> 00:57:36,170
calls she calls the British
Standard Institute and it’s

1054
00:57:36,170 –> 00:57:39,810
like, here’s who I am.
Do you have notes from 1939 and

1055
00:57:39,810 –> 00:57:41,850
the person on the phone’s like,
ah.

1056
00:57:42,310 –> 00:57:46,910
No, we definitely don’t have
that.

1057
00:57:47,430 –> 00:57:49,830
Like you can send me an e-mail
asking what?

1058
00:57:49,830 –> 00:57:53,630
And if we have minutes from that
and it’s public, I could send

1059
00:57:53,630 –> 00:57:55,790
you a copy.
But I don’t know what what

1060
00:57:55,790 –> 00:57:58,630
you’re on about, lady.
Yeah, it was really weird.

1061
00:57:58,750 –> 00:58:03,470
And then immediately moves into
an interview with a professor

1062
00:58:03,470 –> 00:58:06,870
with a special interest in sound
as a weapon named Toby Hayes,

1063
00:58:06,870 –> 00:58:09,870
who spells his last name in such
an infuriating way.

1064
00:58:09,990 –> 00:58:12,230
HEYS.
Yeah, that right there.

1065
00:58:12,470 –> 00:58:15,270
Talk about use of sound as a
weapon.

1066
00:58:15,350 –> 00:58:17,950
Like you spell it that way and
want me to say it that way.

1067
00:58:18,070 –> 00:58:20,710
OK.
Like, sorry to be namotypical,

1068
00:58:20,950 –> 00:58:24,910
but I feel like that’s not how
you spell the last name Hayes

1069
00:58:25,030 –> 00:58:28,270
and he talks about stuff.
Everyone who’s been on the

1070
00:58:28,270 –> 00:58:32,350
Internet knows the police have a
weapon that they can point at a

1071
00:58:32,350 –> 00:58:36,030
crowd of protesters that will
just make everyone feel weird.

1072
00:58:36,530 –> 00:58:39,090
But even then, that’s more like
a microwave weapon.

1073
00:58:39,090 –> 00:58:41,490
That’s not really a sound wave
weapon.

1074
00:58:41,610 –> 00:58:44,450
Yeah, I I texted you before we
did this.

1075
00:58:44,450 –> 00:58:47,290
There’s the Havana syndrome
thing, which is I think the same

1076
00:58:47,290 –> 00:58:49,890
kind of weapon where it’s like
it just cooks the inside of your

1077
00:58:49,890 –> 00:58:53,090
brain and it’s a noise slash
microwave and it sounds like

1078
00:58:53,090 –> 00:58:55,010
something is chewing your brain
and then the next thing you

1079
00:58:55,010 –> 00:58:57,450
know, you never hear again.
Right, but again, you would

1080
00:58:57,450 –> 00:59:00,770
notice if that was happening
every time BTS came on the radio

1081
00:59:00,850 –> 00:59:03,010
or some shit.
Yeah, when you’re like.

1082
00:59:03,340 –> 00:59:07,540
Man, Imagine Dragons makes me
feel like my brains melting.

1083
00:59:07,580 –> 00:59:10,500
I mean, Imagine Dragons does
make me feel like my brains

1084
00:59:10,500 –> 00:59:14,020
melting.
But in the best possible way, I

1085
00:59:14,020 –> 00:59:16,700
mentioned Imagine Dragons,
because I don’t know if you

1086
00:59:16,700 –> 00:59:19,700
noticed this, but there’s like a
music bed that I’m assuming

1087
00:59:19,700 –> 00:59:24,660
Laurie made to go in.
Yeah, and it is 100% a total

1088
00:59:24,660 –> 00:59:27,500
ripoff of believer by Imagine
Dragons.

1089
00:59:27,820 –> 00:59:29,900
Yeah yeah.
My favorite thing about Imagine

1090
00:59:29,900 –> 00:59:33,340
Dragons is that their name is
also a suggestion for something

1091
00:59:33,340 –> 00:59:38,180
you can do instead of listening
to their music about Dragons

1092
00:59:38,180 –> 00:59:40,300
till it’s over.
I need a suggestion from the

1093
00:59:40,300 –> 00:59:41,900
audience of what I should be
doing right now.

1094
00:59:41,940 –> 00:59:43,500
Imagine Dragons.
All right, We’re gonna think

1095
00:59:43,500 –> 00:59:46,620
about a dragon.
So Toby Hayes talks about some

1096
00:59:46,620 –> 00:59:48,340
bullshit.
He talks about the Wandering

1097
00:59:48,340 –> 00:59:51,260
Souls campaign during Vietnam
War.

1098
00:59:51,380 –> 00:59:52,500
Look it up.
It was.

1099
00:59:52,860 –> 00:59:55,260
They were a ska band and I’m
that’s The Bouncing Souls.

1100
00:59:55,340 –> 00:59:56,340
Wrong there.
Wrong thing.

1101
00:59:56,420 –> 01:00:00,540
And then we finally, finally get
to talking about this theory.

1102
01:00:00,540 –> 01:00:03,940
And here’s the thing.
There is 14 minutes left in the

1103
01:00:03,940 –> 01:00:05,500
documentary by the time it
happens.

1104
01:00:06,260 –> 01:00:09,300
Yeah, this is a tougher
documentary where you are

1105
01:00:09,300 –> 01:00:11,260
frequently going how much
longer.

1106
01:00:11,300 –> 01:00:13,860
We’re like you press the button
and you’re like, OK.

1107
01:00:13,980 –> 01:00:16,980
And this part made me so fucking
mad.

1108
01:00:17,260 –> 01:00:21,500
Same talks to a woman named
Fanny Grabenski who is a PhD and

1109
01:00:21,500 –> 01:00:25,580
music historian, which sounds
like arguably the best job, but

1110
01:00:25,700 –> 01:00:29,060
later for that, she’s here to
let us know that this is all a

1111
01:00:29,060 –> 01:00:32,740
myth, which everyone watching
this documentary already knows

1112
01:00:32,740 –> 01:00:35,380
that.
Because they got bored enough to

1113
01:00:35,380 –> 01:00:37,660
just Google it about halfway
through.

1114
01:00:37,940 –> 01:00:40,220
Yeah, also too.
Like this could have either

1115
01:00:40,300 –> 01:00:43,180
opened the movie or.
And I felt like they were like,

1116
01:00:43,340 –> 01:00:44,940
oh, you know what?
We’ve made this whole movie.

1117
01:00:44,940 –> 01:00:46,740
We never answered what this
thing does.

1118
01:00:46,860 –> 01:00:48,500
Let’s go talk to Fanny.
She’s great.

1119
01:00:48,580 –> 01:00:52,820
And yeah, they let Fanny shoot
this down for about two minutes

1120
01:00:52,860 –> 01:00:55,620
and then Laurie just comes back
on and goes, well, that’s a

1121
01:00:55,620 –> 01:00:58,380
relief.
And it’s like, you motherfucker,

1122
01:00:58,380 –> 01:01:00,060
you could have just Googled
that.

1123
01:01:00,100 –> 01:01:02,500
You didn’t have to make this a
documentary.

1124
01:01:02,660 –> 01:01:04,820
Oh, and then.
This was my favorite part of the

1125
01:01:04,820 –> 01:01:08,140
whole thing.
And then it ends, mercifully,

1126
01:01:08,180 –> 01:01:12,540
with Laurie going, What is the
last sound I want to hear before

1127
01:01:12,540 –> 01:01:14,700
I die?
And then she just stares at the

1128
01:01:14,700 –> 01:01:19,460
camera for about another 55 to
60 minutes in silence.

1129
01:01:19,960 –> 01:01:23,360
And then we finally get to the
credits and all of the different

1130
01:01:23,480 –> 01:01:28,560
talking heads are attempting to
answer this question, and only

1131
01:01:28,560 –> 01:01:32,520
one of them gives a good answer.
And that is the lovely and

1132
01:01:32,520 –> 01:01:35,880
talented Yoko Sen, who says she
wants to hear her husband’s

1133
01:01:35,880 –> 01:01:38,440
farts.
That’s what she wants to be the

1134
01:01:38,440 –> 01:01:41,680
last noise.
She’s adorable.

1135
01:01:41,680 –> 01:01:44,400
She was the best part of this.
Yeah, that was like such a

1136
01:01:44,400 –> 01:01:47,450
surprising answer.
The only other answer that was

1137
01:01:47,490 –> 01:01:49,930
surprising to me, and not in a
good way, was Jamie.

1138
01:01:50,650 –> 01:01:51,810
What’s his name?
Buttruff.

1139
01:01:52,130 –> 01:01:53,210
Buttruff.
Yeah.

1140
01:01:53,650 –> 01:01:56,250
He couldn’t think of the name
Swish.

1141
01:01:56,450 –> 01:01:59,890
He was like when a basketball
goes through a net, but like it

1142
01:01:59,890 –> 01:02:02,930
just goes straight through and
it and you’re like a swish.

1143
01:02:02,930 –> 01:02:06,130
And he’s like, and it’s just
it’s just one sound swish.

1144
01:02:06,170 –> 01:02:07,090
It’s called a swish.
No, that’s.

1145
01:02:08,850 –> 01:02:12,010
That’s Nike thing, damn it.
He couldn’t think of the word

1146
01:02:12,010 –> 01:02:13,730
swish.
It was so funny to me.

1147
01:02:14,340 –> 01:02:17,380
Yeah, that was great.
And yeah, this is a real

1148
01:02:17,380 –> 01:02:21,180
Wikipedia page of a documentary.
Like, it pretends it’s going to

1149
01:02:21,180 –> 01:02:24,620
be about one thing and then it
just runs you through the basic

1150
01:02:24,620 –> 01:02:29,100
facts and then it is artistic
masturbation after that.

1151
01:02:29,180 –> 01:02:32,660
Yeah, it is very much Wikipedia.
And that you’re not sure who

1152
01:02:32,660 –> 01:02:35,180
really put this all together.
You’re like, who?

1153
01:02:35,540 –> 01:02:37,300
Who?
There’s no oversight on this.

1154
01:02:37,860 –> 01:02:39,460
She knew.
This is a documentary.

1155
01:02:40,300 –> 01:02:45,000
I don’t think she did.
I think if we go to Providence

1156
01:02:45,000 –> 01:02:47,200
right now, she’s still walking
around with that damn reel to

1157
01:02:47,200 –> 01:02:48,880
reel pointing to that.
People, Absolutely.

1158
01:02:48,880 –> 01:02:51,680
She’s the microphone lady.
Yeah, the Providence microphone

1159
01:02:51,960 –> 01:02:55,000
lady.
Adam, it does raise the question

1160
01:02:55,000 –> 01:02:57,640
that what’s the last sound you
want to hear before you die?

1161
01:02:59,130 –> 01:03:01,490
Just joking.
And then I live for like another

1162
01:03:01,490 –> 01:03:03,450
150 years.
Nice.

1163
01:03:03,610 –> 01:03:05,650
Yeah, yeah.
I don’t know who I want to say.

1164
01:03:05,650 –> 01:03:07,690
Just joking.
Busta Rhymes Busta.

1165
01:03:10,690 –> 01:03:12,250
I forgot I had a joke in the
notes.

1166
01:03:12,370 –> 01:03:14,690
Yeah, you want to hear before I
die?

1167
01:03:14,690 –> 01:03:16,770
A/C by two Live curve.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1168
01:03:16,770 –> 01:03:20,190
That makes sense to me.
Yeah, that was a better joke.

1169
01:03:20,190 –> 01:03:22,790
I should have just done that.
I don’t know if I have one.

1170
01:03:22,990 –> 01:03:24,990
I don’t know if I have one.
I think my, like, mine would

1171
01:03:24,990 –> 01:03:27,870
just be like probably me being
like, don’t forget to follow

1172
01:03:27,870 –> 01:03:29,550
Adam on Instagram.
You know, I’m just.

1173
01:03:30,870 –> 01:03:33,030
Yeah, I’m not gonna be like that
soundboard.

1174
01:03:34,430 –> 01:03:36,510
Play the air horn.
I’m going play the air horn.

1175
01:03:37,150 –> 01:03:39,030
I want to hear a reggaeton air
horn.

1176
01:03:39,070 –> 01:03:41,550
You know, actually I think the
last thing I want to hear is you

1177
01:03:41,550 –> 01:03:44,510
going, do we have anything to
plug And I’ll be like, no.

1178
01:03:47,340 –> 01:03:49,540
I’m afraid not.
Tuned to 4:30.

1179
01:03:52,620 –> 01:03:58,460
Time of Death 440 Interesting.
So that is the end of our

1180
01:03:58,460 –> 01:04:00,740
episode.
I’m glad I looked into this more

1181
01:04:00,740 –> 01:04:02,940
myself instead of just basing
this.

1182
01:04:03,300 –> 01:04:04,860
The whole episode on the
documentary.

1183
01:04:04,980 –> 01:04:10,100
Yeah, I mean, look, Laurie seems
like like the quirky friend of

1184
01:04:10,100 –> 01:04:12,620
your aunt that you’re like, oh,
she’s kind of fun when she comes

1185
01:04:12,620 –> 01:04:15,580
over and she has weird opinions.
But I don’t know if filmmaking’s

1186
01:04:15,580 –> 01:04:17,340
her thing.
And then one day your aunt’s

1187
01:04:17,340 –> 01:04:19,780
like she made a movie.
You’re like what?

1188
01:04:20,020 –> 01:04:22,700
Fucking what?
What a whole one.

1189
01:04:23,060 –> 01:04:28,620
No, not really.
It’s like 5 different mini

1190
01:04:28,620 –> 01:04:30,540
movies that don’t really
connect.

1191
01:04:31,690 –> 01:04:34,690
Yeah.
So, hey, Travis, I think that’s

1192
01:04:34,690 –> 01:04:36,370
our episode.
Thank you so much.

1193
01:04:36,570 –> 01:04:39,930
Thanks for having me on.
I like look I I love a chance to

1194
01:04:39,930 –> 01:04:42,970
talk about a weird conspiracy.
Any chance.

1195
01:04:43,010 –> 01:04:46,970
So this was fun and and plus to
like I just love the idea that

1196
01:04:46,970 –> 01:04:50,210
people are like yeah 8 Hertz
difference is the difference

1197
01:04:50,210 –> 01:04:52,930
between happy and sad.
That’s the only.

1198
01:04:53,270 –> 01:04:55,430
See, I thought we were going to
get into things like, Brown

1199
01:04:55,430 –> 01:04:56,870
notes.
You know, where it’s like,

1200
01:04:56,870 –> 01:04:58,950
there’s a certain frequency just
makes you shit yourself and

1201
01:04:58,950 –> 01:05:00,630
you’re like, OK, they never
even.

1202
01:05:00,910 –> 01:05:04,230
Why wouldn’t the nurses do that
if you had nothing but people

1203
01:05:04,230 –> 01:05:05,830
shitting themselves on the
battlefield?

1204
01:05:05,830 –> 01:05:09,030
I feel like you win that battle.
Absolutely, That would be the

1205
01:05:09,030 –> 01:05:11,230
obvious choice, but.
Go figure.

1206
01:05:11,510 –> 01:05:13,990
It didn’t get into any of that,
but hey, do you have anything to

1207
01:05:13,990 –> 01:05:17,390
plug before we get out of here?
I’m only had to unplug my life

1208
01:05:17,390 –> 01:05:22,370
machine and that’s it.
I guess this is a a very

1209
01:05:22,370 –> 01:05:25,570
advanced plug.
My first audio book that I

1210
01:05:25,570 –> 01:05:29,650
narrate will be out September
1st of this year.

1211
01:05:29,810 –> 01:05:33,290
It is called Stone’s Throw and
it’ll be available on Audible.

1212
01:05:33,610 –> 01:05:39,930
So if you want to hear a nice, I
don’t know, pulpy crime novel

1213
01:05:39,930 –> 01:05:42,410
narrated by a guy who talks like
this.

1214
01:05:43,010 –> 01:05:44,290
Check that out.
Very nice.

1215
01:05:44,810 –> 01:05:48,690
Check out our Lost Rewatch
podcast Going Back.

1216
01:05:48,850 –> 01:05:51,320
Oh, nice.
Spin off of this show that I

1217
01:05:51,320 –> 01:05:54,360
host with Olivia Hydar.
You can get that wherever

1218
01:05:54,360 –> 01:05:57,960
podcasts are at, and there’s
lots of changes coming to the

1219
01:05:57,960 –> 01:06:00,560
Unpops network, so be on the
lookout for that.

1220
01:06:00,600 –> 01:06:03,080
In the meantime, let’s get the
fuck out of here, Travis.

1221
01:06:03,080 –> 01:06:04,840
Say goodbye.
Goodbye.

1222
01:06:05,120 –> 01:06:06,240
Goodbye everybody.
We love you.

1223
01:06:26,100 –> 01:06:26,860
Big strong.
