Derek, Derek, what did you think of the movie?

Man, I loved this movie.

I really, really enjoyed it.

Um, I honestly really wanna go see the movie again, but I don't think I'm gonna go again while it's in theaters.

I think I'm just gonna wait until it hits streaming.

But, uh, I had a great time with this movie.

I do think it's gonna be one of those movies where critics are too hard on it, and even some audience, you know, audience members are gonna be too hard on it.

Mm.

Like, maybe Derek, what is your opinion of, like, what you see here? Is it, is it s- does it ring true to you?

Yeah, I ...

Especially the fact that she ...

There's, there's no way she would know what m- a lot of these terms are.

Um, um, that's a lot of validation.

A lot of the things from, say, his book sort of pop up, but there's, I'd say, maybe 50/50.

Like, half of it's just stuff that seems really obscure, uh, unless you really know of ...

And, um, is that something that you wanna or feel comfortable sharing?

And then I think, Derek, you probably are best at explaining the Ancient Arrow site was a good place to start.

Okay, I'll do my best.

I'll try.

[laughs] Um, it's been a little while.

But yeah, I, I just wanna ...

We do wanna emphasize that our grandfather did say, you know, he did mention ACIO.

He said, you know, he was with the NRO, which was secretive up, up until 1997.

Right

Derek, if you just wanna take it away and just kind of, uh, let us know how you guys got into this, who was your grandfather, what he was involved in, and, uh, we'll go from there.

Okay.

It's, uh, it's, uh, quite a story.

I mean, I'll try to condense it down a little bit, but, um, I'll let you know.

Uh, just to start with, I mean, our grandfather was in the Air Force.

He, he started out his career back in actually 1947, just about when he got out of high school.

And, um, basically all, what, all we knew growing up was, like, he was big into talking about all these disclosure topics like UFOs, aliens, and, you know, all this hidden secret government kind of stuff happening.

Yeah

Yeah.

Yeah, so this, this comes from a listener in, uh, unnamed, in Cincinnati, Ohio, that's all I know, on this lovely Sleeping Beauty postcard with Maleficent on the side.

So their straightest, spending an entire day drinking beer to celebrate baseball opening day for, uh, the Cincinnati...

[laughs]

Uh, and then their gayest was when someone on a work call unmuted and said, "It's Britney," I reflexively sass snapped and said, "Bitch." Muted of course.

[laughs]

Yeah, I mean, so Peter and I are laughing because we're ...

So we're ...

It's a three-part episode.

It's gonna be about how to build a wardrobe given certain budget constraints, and the budget that we're starting with is 3,000.

And I just wanna say, as someone who, you know, has been writing about clothing for a long time, I can already hear some of you going, "Blah, blah, blah, $3,000?"

"Hey, I need to s- I have children."

[laughs] I ...

What's good today?

Oh, man.

So, uh, you know, I had a pleasure.

Uh, I met this wonderful, really pretty girl online recently, and, uh, we hit it off.

And, you know, I thought it was neat, um, that we do- both actually know a lot of the same people.

So is that why she felt comfortable enough with someone she's never met coming over to her house? 'Cause I thought that was kinda strange at first too.

Right.

I mean, it was, it was fast, I'll tell you.

Derek, what is the most apocalyptic situation that you would be prepared for?

Um, I mean, what I...

I'm, I'm prepared at this point for sort of any situation.

The most apocalyptic scenarios that I could imagine would either be, you know, a, a global, uh, nuclear war or, um, a serious, like, pandemic that has a high mortality rate or, uh, you know, multi EMPs hitting the United States would be pretty devastating.

Basically a, a nuke going up high in the atmosphere that, that fries the grid.

Everyone's understanding is that the US is just vastly unprepared for a situation like that.

So the grid could go down theoretically for months if not longer before it could get back up online.

Could you describe what those capabilities are and how important that is for you all?

[laughs]

And then the Duke of Windsor had his ties specially made to have a thick knot, which then A- Ameri- middle-class Americans c- copied, but not by getting bespoke ties, but by creating the half Windsor and the full Windsor knot.

Yeah.

Which I think raises, you know...

W- we've been debating this a little bit, uh, in the past, of whether or not the internet has either ruined or saved menswear.

But in your case, certainly launched a very impressive modeling career.

Mm-hmm.

And then, uh, I keep working my way down to, ah, the backs of their thighs all the way down to their calves and, ah, their feet.

And I, like, really do hard firm pressure on feet and toes, and, ah, I make it all the way down and then, uh, I ask them if they need a break because it's time to flip over.

Sometimes they'll go and do a pee break.

Other times they're ready just to turn, and they turn, and I take the towel, I lay it back over them to kind of privacy cover.

And then I start again from the head down the body to the toes and, you know, lookin', looking at the response of this, I'm getting are, are nipples getting hard and tightening.

Ah, oh, I didn't tell you, I, I, I do make it an option.

Okay.

For real?

S- yeah.

So it was like literally the most synthetic, you know, animal-derived shitty estrogen that is not bioidentical at all and, uh, also a synthetic progestin that is not bioidentical to progesterone.

It's just like a progestin analog essentially that fulfills activity at the receptor but is otherwise like, you know, the equivalent of putting you on like a microdose of nandrolone or a microdose of, you know, fill in the blank, uh, progestin, uh, derived compound, um, or 19-nor derived compound that facilitates progestogenic activity, but just is not progesterone.

So it's like to try and say, you know, this horse piss-derived estrogen formula and the synthetic progestin we apply to these women is the equivalent of you having been on what you would otherwise produce as a young, healthy, vibrant woman from a bioidentical estradiol and progesterone perspective, simply not accurate.

But that's like essentially the comparison that they made, and you know, presented it as such.

And the result was a relative risk increase of breast cancer incidents, I believe, to the tune of like one of 1,000 women.
