That's some a lot of times a me thing I Should address this I was out of town all week last week. I was doing Filming trying to film an erotic film in the desert on the salt flats in Utah and I Know you probably think like oh my god a sex injury no, no I When there was a big windstorm and I injured myself Trying to remove a tarp from a fucking what turned out to be a 30-foot kite that we all thought we could hang out under Not true So I jammed a knife under my knuckle and so all week like people have been asking me how I hurt my hand and I've decided to like start telling a different story each time because like It's not like they actually care what the story is They're just trying to show me that they care about me in my livelihood So they're like you know oh No, you hurt your hand. You can't just like walk away after that. Everybody feels a little obligated to be like oh my god Tell me a hopefully short story about how you fucking hurt your hand. That's what people actually want So I've been trying to kind of support that and I started making up new stories like I was flying a kite And a windstorm came or like I would be like I went to the doctor to get it kind of checked out They gave me like all the antibiotics and they're like, how did you hurt your hand? And I say well, I'm a struggling Heavy faith related person and I've been masturbating too much And I know the Bible says like if your eye causes you to lust in fact You're supposed to gouge it out and you can't imagine what my hands been up to so I stepped to stop it And she still gave me the antibiotics, but she seemed judgy about it I'm not against religious people or whatever I think it keeps them out of the dating pool very effectively in this way But that's how I hurt my hands I mostly was just in a group of people. There was a big storm. I felt like You know, nobody was paying attention to me and so I Jammed a knife in my hand. I was like, oh my god. I've heard I've heard and then like some people are like Oh, no, is he actually are you okay as all their belongings went away into the desert and like that made me feel better So that's how I hurt my hands. Apparently there's some nerve injury. I'm not really sure what that means Mostly I'm worried that I will no longer be a lower mid-level guitar player anymore, you know, but I'll lose my skill sets So this is a new show we're doing it's called Boulder County tonight. If you saw our credits, of course, you'd know that If you're just tuning in because you're like watching this live or something We did credits at the beginning of the show, but don't don't go back now Now we're doing the show to stick here. You're fine. There wasn't any real important information the best this show is gonna kind of focus on our local community and Injuries that we get apparently and I promise I'll shave before the next episode But I was too fucking, you know recovering from problems of the my chemical life Tonight our guest is mr. Greg Benton. He's from the band native station if you haven't heard them And The way your therapist might put it is like you are refusing to live your best life You know If you have a therapist, you should definitely have a therapist. I have a therapist. Um, I feel like I I feel like I may be Bore my therapist. I'm gonna have to tell them a great story about this but I Feel like my there's not like a whole lot of interesting shit that goes on dramatically in my world So I don't really have a lot to talk about and I just feel self-conscious about it sometimes and I'm a therapy I should not be talking about this But the other day I was like in therapy with my therapist and I was like, I had this dream Dada dad. What do you think that is? And they're like, yeah, the dream. That's really good. It's a good dream And like decided to tell him something more serious I was like and my just reminded me of how like my dad used to hit me so much growing up My dad didn't hit me at all, but like I wanted the attention from the therapist I felt like they were drifting and so now I have to keep up. That's horrible live on my dad without the therapist Really zeroing too much about it because that's not really true of my life. I just wanted the attention I could go on I could go on but let's not let's not Plus one of my therapists watches this then I'm in real trouble um Tonight here on the show. We got our friend Greg been tomorrow. We'll have somebody from the Boulder weekly the next night We'll have somebody in public service um Allegedly because god damn it if I were coming on this show, I would Reasonably cancel it or whatever after it's all the first one So like we think we know who's gonna be on the fucking show and if not golly We'll get us a chicken or something like that to talk to um So if you don't mind if you're at home now, um, please do put your hands together for our very good friend Mr. Greg Benton from native station Greg please join me in the chairs Let's see if this camera shots lined up for you very well Oh, I think it is. Oh man. I wish we could tilt that camera up a little bit Because like I'm afraid I didn't want to put it on earlier because look what it does right now If I can stand up and I went to it and just be all dick all the time But now it's like my friend Greg who's not a dick at all Yeah, this this camera over here I think could come up Okay, sorry about that folks. All right, Greg All right, you and I used to do A show together podcast Yeah called the late weekend And that we that we used to do that on one days Yeah, yeah And I would come over to your house and we would kind of just like get drunk and stoned and like bullshit for Sometimes a long time That's basically the workflow Um We can probably even scoot in the goddamn. I'm not getting my camera. That's okay. Um So like this is my next show that I was doing on Mondays and so I wanted you to be my first guest um And also because like we've talked a lot in the past about the world at large and I wanted to talk to you specifically about something that we've talked about many times and that's Does the government know that there are UFOs and why won't they tell us? Since we've done a podcast they fucking told us Do you have thoughts on that? I was so when when it was happening I thought I did think about all those podcasts that we did do Um, and I was I was a little shocked at how Under the radar it all went but there was a lot of crazy stuff going on around that time And so I think this sort of has you know the timing for that lines up Because usually when they want to get something under the radar they'll wait until everything's going haywire until you know You got capital buildings being stormed and people marching in the streets and they're like, oh by the way they're aliens And they just kind of look away and just scratch their head and hope no one ever really heard me say it Uh, but so that's sort of what it felt like. Yes, and And it but it was like a massive dump of information that I could not get all the way through I looked at some of it and it's I mean, they've known for quite a while apparently Yes, they've known for quite a while and like for some reason they've just like Pulled their pants down about it, right and they've like kept it under lock and key for so long I I wonder how much that has to do with The last two heads of state being a little bit more loose than the lips And a little less little less Constrained of their own volition So maybe they they figure there's They're gonna say something or they they keep alluding to things. So it might be, you know Everyone sort of do anyway. Yeah, it was kind of like the worst kept secret Apparently, you know, there's all these stories and then after a while, you know, my mama said where there's smoke, there's fire Yeah, so My mom used to say that shit, too um I wonder like Because like there's been a lot of like civil unrest, right? There was a capital march or whatever and there were the the BLM protests, of course And that was like, I think very worrying to the establishment So like is it possible that This is more like a god damn these people who've had a lot of time to really sit around and consider the world We really need to like we need to have them have like a oh squirrel kind of moment to get them off the topic um I think so in some ways, but at the same time I think more so They there's enough panic in the streets already. We just or we're still going through a pandemic You know, like you said, there is all the civil unrest the social justice protest and with all that I think they figured that was as good a time as any to tell people that you know, there's other things out there Because I mean at what point do people reach their panic maximum level? So it's at that point. There's not really much higher ceiling for panic or they already took all the toilet paper. So Yeah, I wonder man because like It sure does seem strange that they admitted it, you know, I was in the desert in utah um Jesus last night. Oh my god It was last night and I'm like on this blanket and I'm hanging out with this person and I'm like looking at them in the face and Behind me a giant light Lights up in the fucking sky big noise big scary thing and she fucking goes white And I see in her eye this like green street because we're like looking into each other's eyes and as you do in the bucket desert on the blanket and like I just saw it like in her eyes She was like lost all the color in her face. I assumed it was very dark. Um And I kind of like looked over my shoulder But really the whole like rim of the sky lit up like it almost like a greenish color She was what the fuck was that? I just I didn't do that. I don't know what that was And uh, we look it up in the news Later today and there's like a big green Meteor or craft or something like crashed in turkey Really and apparently it like zipped right over over utah while we were out there That's wild. It was fucking wild And my hand hurt, but I saw his arm all the like painkillers and other supplements And other supplements, but like of all the things that I saw I knew that was happening. You know what I mean? Yeah, because it was just like The strangest and so now it's like in the papers, you know, they're like, oh, there was like a crash and Suspected of being a craft or whatever in normal motherfucking newspapers Used to be it would be like conspiracy science page. Yeah Usually it would be like, oh god damn it a fucking weather balloon or Streets across the sky on green fire last night. No big deal. Everyone go back to sleep Well, let me ask you this they have all these reports. They're all in vessels or of Ships vehicles some some sort of like transportation What do you so what do you think whatever is driving hers look like? Oh my god I think like they keep talking about like the tic tac right thing, right? Yeah, it probably looks like Something very simple from the outside, right like a sphere or something like that Um, I don't think you I don't know if they're not exactly the uss enterprise. I don't think you know what I mean? Yeah So I don't I don't think they're driving tie fighters either because those are the fucking land too What do you think the beings inside of it? Uh, like us from a slightly different dimension Really? Uh-huh. I wonder walk on two feet guest gesture with the hands Or like they're made out of like, uh, some type of alloy or some type of metal because they're like sentient robots Yeah, I would think sentient robot is your best guess for like beings that are going to run into us Because this is a pretty far long ways away from other places But um, I don't know. What do you fucking think? I don't know, but you say it's sentient robot. That means Where would a sentient robot come from another Who what would those beings look like that created such robot? Well, they're probably from the not so distant future or a parallel dimension See, I think that's where it gets interesting when you start messing with the time Yeah When space starts messing with the time Because time is sort of the tricksy topic you get a little farther away from gravity It works a little differently, right? So like we don't really know very much as it turns out seems like And uh, I don't know if they were using like gravity waves to travel through space or something like that They're like surfers gravity surfers. Yeah, uh, that would make sense to me with like some type of But they have like a reverse parachute that they're shooting light into and the light catches it and pulls them along or something I don't really as you know I am what is commonly referred to as a benign idiot Ha ha ha ha Um, I don't know like what if they are made of like some type of sentient mist or something, you know If they're just energy in general, you know, what if the what if the vessels they travel in disrupt the space of time What if the vessels they travel in disrupt space and time you mean like when they show up They're like they're tearing through it. So in some way there'd be some disruption there Like the Mandela some timeline somewhere would be affected Somewhere on some other plane or someone just disappears They're just did that show low key. Have you been watching that? I haven't watched. Yeah, definitely watch it It's about timelines and stuff that's sort of like the main gist of the show And like a lot of those the later Avenger flicks, of course feature a lot Interdimensional time travel ideas I wonder if that's like modern popular culture sort of trying to prepare us in a way for like these ideas You know, they don't want our references to be back to the future anymore. Have you seen tenet? Uh, no for no let them. It has to do with like timelines, too. Okay. It's very um You better not watch it high Well, if you do you gotta watch every time If we can't watch it high Greg, I think you can watch it You just gotta dedicate yourself to watch it like four times. Oh, okay. I've actually grasped the plot perfect I like I'm like pleased that you think I would grasp the plot anyway, but yeah, we'll see. Um Yeah, I'm not sure man. I think like I love I love talking about aliens and shit and interested in uh parallel timelines Do you remember in back to the future? I know I think a lot of people would sort of reference this When they went to the future that time has come and go It's it's uh, I think it was like 2017 or something like that october or whatever That's like gone. It's in our past and we really do seem like we went through a little bit of like a Like a biff timeline in back to the future, too When like biff suddenly runs the whole town and everything's fucking goes to shit You know can I make a mission? There's some back to the future. Oh, Greg Oh, Greg. I mean, it's not quite Yeah, now listen now quiet it is. Yeah I'm I'm I'm surprised and um, that's okay. We can still be friends Um, we can still be friends, but it's definitely a barrier for us Um back to the future One and two are a central watching three is more like don't watch it without being stoned Don't watch it. Is that bad? It's pretty bad. It's pretty bad. It's it's disappointing for literally every character in the movie And for every character that's a that's a hard trick to pull Yeah, everything good gets worse and by the end of the franchise, uh, everything is actually shittier than it began Uh, yeah, because like uh, the movie is actually about this hip scientist named doc brown who's a cool bachelor mind in his business probably doing a lot of myth and um And he invits a time machine and it's like in a cool car and it goes 88 miles an hour and it goes back in time Very cool, but then they fuck up the timeline As you always do as you goddamn do I think they stole an infinity gem or something and um And then the bad guy takes over blah blah second movie happens by the end of the third movie You would think like oh, I probably have a better new and improved time machine No, they built it into like an old timey steam train They went from hot rod to steam train at the end of the fucking franchise. It's the fucking worst Quick movie review now. Do you want to review a movie? I haven't seen of course you do Fucking back to the future one Eight out of ten beautiful back to future two nine out of ten makes it better back to future three fucking zero Out of ten Fuck go back in the timeline of fix it. That's my personal thing. Is there ever a trilogy where the third movie is better than the first? Yes, and it's called indiana jones Because they're serious. It has the opposite that like Star Wars has but the first movie is like good second movie is like fuck. Yeah third movie is like Oh, why why teddy bears now? um Indiana Jones has it like oh my god. He's so adorable running from the big marble and then the second one's like why are we doing this? Yeah, the third movie. It's like way more charming best movie the franchise the third one Um, of course, they recently just completely fucked that franchise So like I can't comment on the other movies, but the third one is like the best one of the franchise. So yes Okay, I'll have to check that out. You should definitely check it out because like there are a lot of bad movies out there and The first indiana jones is a classic skip the middle one completely and important They're not like really connected in any way. So it doesn't really matter Yeah, not everyone should have camera lights. I like it though. No Yeah, I kind of agree with you there All right What's your band doing next uh, we're going up to Oh, wait, where are we going next? I think it's four collins. We're going to all right We've got a couple shows in august. We're going all up to shayan going four collins Going to do some stuff with vocal mix there drive and jive Oh, I think this one's called drive and jive drive and jive I think I'm saying that right are they like is it like a it's like a drive in theater Then we're going to play a show that and you like first time I drive a theater like 10 years Everybody's going to be hot boxing in their car or whatever. I mean, that's what you do a drive and theater That's what you that's one of the things to do a drive and theaters So like I think drive and theaters are classically best known for like Smoking out in your car and like I don't know young people making out. Is that about right? We'll pick it up Do you think it'll take your hot beat? And like you're aware that during your show people are going to be having sex and The draw is expected. Yeah. Okay. Just making sure that that's cool with you. I mean, you know If it wasn't I would stop but if that's not played a long time ago All right, uh, what's your band's website? On nativestation music dot com native station music Wildwood we don't see the Like when did that stop? I love it when people still say the w's really yeah, I hate it because like it's it's really like Six use I mean, but such an extraneous use of use It's it seems like too many used to use but even when you're using double use and you have to use three of them It seems like a lot still, you know, I mean and when people like they're like, I know it's w like The internet's been around a minute. We know about you don't even the even the computers don't require a w I feel like when someone tells you their address and like all right, so I live in a nice neighborhood It's a brick house and then they actually started like they we don't need all the information just tell me Yeah, I know you live in a house I'm trying to get there I think we should all start saying instead of w w w used to be like six you dot andy apple dot com Just six you just six shoes. Yeah six you well then I mean we still have enough old people They'll never find your website. Well, he said you you you you And like I really want this to be clear if you're one of the old people like Jesus don't come to my website I'm not we went out looking for you there And um, it's really it's it's we're we're gonna be friends a lot longer if you don't look at my website Do look at greg's website native station all ages All ages again my website is really native station music dot com Is a very safe friendly website full of decent art not dicks and all this kind of thing No, like weird psychedelic portraits and whatever This is a safe website. You can tell your friends to go to this website Don't tell your friends if you go to my website You should demand your friends go to this website Yeah, you should really demand your friends and be like I will lose you as a friend if you refuse to go to this website native station music dot com native station music dot com seems easy now. Let's also say it together Native station music dot com. Let's see. You didn't fucking even say it. Like you might be a good audience Remember if you didn't fucking say it whatever whatever take a shot and take a shot if you didn't say it We should have drinking games for the show What if I just had a bottle Hit the show and we don't tell the audience what the rules to the drinking game is But we do a drinking game and then they just come to figure out what the rules were about Why did he drink just then when they were like the light rail? They drink every time they're at a harry potter friends All right, last question greg harry potter reference. Um If you're in one of the houses at harry potter school What the fuck House are you in? What's the one that harry's in the game like riffindor Riffindor Yeah, probably that one really because you're so heroic and brave and just it just seems like a natural fit It does doesn't it I think I'm a huffle and they didn't have any black people Yeah, yeah, they could use some diversity Now you think there's a good question greg since the hat does all the sorting You think that hat's a little racist? I mean It's an old hat. Yeah, it's an old hat You know how old folks can be don't come to my website open my buggy. You ain't welcome Especially if you're a racist hat. Yeah, I could have just died of self-esteem away The hat is like all dingy and dark because of its fucking racist ass soul And then you like going you put on the hat and it's like, what is this like a nice thick braid? Let's um Ravenclaw with you Yeah, I can see that And all the griffindor kids like oh, this is like some straight wave you something. Oh, yeah Let's put you in griffindor I will say like griffindor seems to constantly be in trouble and constant danger. So Fuck that Hufflepuff you never get any characters. They're like, oh my god. Let me pull my fucking sword out and get in a fight with a dragon It's always like Put us by the kitchen, you know What's your color yellow and we don't like to fight I hope they put their hat on you and it's like Jesus this this hair smells like weed Hufflepuff. We might end up in Hufflepuff together. Yeah, I mean if that yeah, that's how they sort Racist hats If you own a racist hat, uh, be sure to put it in your laundry with a bunch of bleach teach it a little lesson Uh, and then and then maybe like, uh, maybe throw in a giant fire Wait, why would you take all the color out of it? Because like it's probably covered in filth and shit from its evil soul But that would be just one of the reasons how one it is all the color of the yellow No, you can always dye it if you want to my intention was to like hurt it and then destroy it I don't know how else you heard a hat except put chemicals on it. I'm not great at laundry Don't treat it nice. Don't put any fabric softener in that shit. That's not what we're doing Those are your sheets Racist hats. I didn't know we'd talk about it, but now we're all aware A little public service announcement a little letter from the editor who've got a note from the editor on those Oh, let me help. Oh, I knew we might Sometimes we get these little notes from uh from the editor of the show Yeah, I knew it. This one is about racist hats. It says I feel the owner of a racist hat Please don't donate it anywhere for any secondhand stores Please destroy it and or mix it in with some other non racist hats for a better influence But I recommend just destroying it, especially an old hat So thank you for the note from the editor. We'll try and keep those coming great Thank you very much for coming on our show. Thank you for that. What a pleasure as always And thank you very much for watching. Thanks for letting us waste about 30 minutes of your time and god damn We'll just see you again soon or we won't who knows Jesus Christ. We could all die
