SFR 535: Solving Sightings

Explicit content warning

09/08/20 • -1 min

–Just before we started recording, we had a conversation Jason asks Bobby to continue here on the podcast. Namely, how Bobby got roped into helping his daughter with her last minute homework.
–How old were you when you had your first male teacher? Bobby was in 6th grade, Jason was in 7th. Jason talks about how, fairly or unfairly, male teachers for young kids sometimes get a reputation as being gay or pedophiles. We then proceed to talk about how some of the first male teachers in our lives were busted for possessing and/or distributing child pornography.
–Uncomfortable conversation time. Is pedophilia a mental disorder? What if it is just a kind of sexual orientation like homosexuality? Would it have to be accepted?
–Jason gives an enthusiastic recommendation of Cobra Kai, a show Bobby has maybe seen 15 minutes of before becoming bored. Jason tempts fate by saying he may like it more than Stranger Things.
–Bobby regales us with stories of his recent time at the family lake house, why he doesn’t enjoy the beach, and instead prefers to sit inside and watch movies.
–SOLVING SIGHTINGs: We take a look at s3e01 of the 90s paranormal television newsmagazine, Sightings, and give our thoughts on the “Heartland Ghost” aka Sallie House episode of the show.
–We veer off and reminisce a bit about our ghost hunting days and why we, as opposed to most of our friends and fellow ghost hunters, we got more curious and the anomalous phenomenon we would run across.
–Back to the Sallie House haunting, and we discuss the time we interviewed one of the subjects of the alleged haunting, and she absolutely blew our minds with a horrible story involving a cat. You have to hear this to believe it.
–We end the show talking about how much we hate fake psychics, with a special amount of disdain for the late Sylvia Browne.

SFR 534: The Joy of Being Scared

–SFR is back in your life! Bobby is on-call, and Jason is breaking bald. So before we get to the big issues, let’s cover a little older ground
—Facebook freaks at the amount of people on Pages and Groups dedicated to QAnon, so decided to ban thousands in an effort to “limit violent rhetoric.” Uh, I don’t think it worked.
—Is Netflix guilty of sexualizing kids? A controversy sprung up over the streaming companies marketing of a movie involving 11yo dancers. And Jason is creeped out by the fact it is rated TV-MA.
–If you enjoyed Unsolved Mysteries 2.0, get ready for more in mid-October. We didn’t enjoy it much ourselves, but will likely still check out the new bath of episodes.
–Bobby saw the new Bill & Ted movie, and found enjoyment in mindless dumb fun in the midst of real-world chaos.
–Also, he is slowly leading his middle daughter deeper into the realm of horror movies through Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and Silence of the Lambs.
–Jason thinks Silence of the Lambs is more effective horror than most modern horror movies. Bobby agrees, and we then discuss a particular near-meaningless scene that has somehow played a huge role in our lives now for years.
–We decide to delve back into the paranormal a bit by watching old episodes of Sightings and discussing individual cases on Strange Frequencies. First up, the Sallie House haunting. Watch it along with us.
–Finally, we get into a bit of the Republican convention. Jason talks about some cringey moments, and moments that deserved a fact check. Then, before we could even get to the bigger speeches, like that of Tim Scott and Donald Trump himself, we get sidetracked.
–Police shootings are again in the news. Jason wants to devote a future episode to a rational discussion of the circumstances in which we feel it is acceptable or necessary for an officer to use deadly force. Using real life circumstances from popularly viewed video footage, maybe an open conversation like that can help.

SFR 536: What’s Going On?

–Back in the saddle, and back in your ears. It’s been a few weeks, but we’re glad to be with you.
–The reason for our absence? As explained on our Facebook page, Bobby had a sick wife and a grandma dying simultaneously. Bobby shares some memories of his late grandma, Jason tells a story about the time her eyes pierced his very soul, and then we somehow laugh about crying.
–We’re winging it here, so the topic of Bobby’s brother-in-law’s eating is a sight (and sound) to behold.
–Ruth Bader Ginsberg dies, so here we go again. The Republicans are moving fast to replace her with Amy Coney Barrett and there is hypocrisy in spades
–Next, we talk about some potential Doomsday-style scenarios with the election, lawsuits, recounts, and tie votes in courts.
—Trump’s tax returns have come out, and we laugh about Trump’s write offs for his hair care. Bobby believes this issue will play negatively for those on the fence, while Jason gives his advice for both candidates as they head into the debates.
