Welcome to Episode 30, unencumbered by scripts, format sheets or any real planning! Marty and Spirited Kenny discuss the holidays, how quiet it is this year, and how Marty engaged in one of his pastimes – watching holiday specials from local US market stations in L.A., Chicago and New York City.
5:30 – The subject of ‘things that you don’t believe you saw’ arises: Marty’s west end drive for a traditional “Jewish Christmas meal”- which in Winnipeg means Spring Roll Restaurant for Shrimp on Toast – brought the startling sight of 4 vehicles walled in by snowplows on Erin Street. Why they were parked there, and how will they get out? That leads to…
10:50 – Marty telling how he saw a UFO this summer. In well over 1000 radio, podcast and TV episodes, Marty has never discussed one of Kenny’s favorite topics, encounters with strange unnatural phenomena. “This is why I’m here” says Kenny, as we wind through the events of August 19, 2022, after Marty hosted a CWE wrestling card in Amaranth, Manitoba about 180 KM north and west of Winnipeg. Our first time in the town wasn’t only memorable for the enthusiastic crowd and hard-hitting matches, it was memorable for the drive home and what appeared in the western sky around 10.30 that night.
Listen to Marty describe how the sighting unfolded, and his reaction the next morning when he re-sized the photos of the night sky and zoomed in. Then he had to talk it over with his fellow travelers! You will also hear Kenny’s response to seeing the photos for the first time, the colours he sees in photo of the night sky, and why this qualifies as a genuine UFO sighting that will get additional notice in the region. This is a very unusual discussion for TGCTS and one you’ll want to hear for yourself.Kenny refers to an episode of his program InterestingWorld.ca about UFO sightings and here is the link to the sonic boom video he mentioned:https://youtube.com/shorts/eGEvPL5bJ0g
32:30 – Part 2 – Boxing Day is Marty’s sister’s birthday, and he shares a few memories of what it was like for a Jewish family to not care about Christmas but to actually pay attention to Boxing Day, and not because of the Krazy Krazy sales.
37:30 – Update on the latest stories in TheJ.ca, Canada’s national online Jewish newspaper. Among other stories, BBC Arabic was forced to lecture the staff after things went way too far.
43:40 – We have a brief discussion about newsmakers of the year, internationally, nationally and locally. On the local scene, we note the Premier’s ongoing health issues. Marty suggests a worthy nominee relating to the civic election and Kenny has his own, worthy nominee for recognition (for all the wrong reasons). Long-time listeners will find the suggestions amusing.
Looking towards 2023: With a provincial election on the horizon, and after a successful civic campaign, we are going to organize our platform to bring forward the news, interviews and issues MSM won’t touch. This work will require the support of listeners and we know we will continue to earn that support.Winnipeg needs alternative media more than ever…
