Episode 53 – Back to (Men in) Black
Summary: In this episode, Cody and Chris take inspiration from the International UFO Congress and talk all about Men In Black. Cody’s first story is about Dr. Herbert Hopkins, who was threatened with eradication by the MIB. Next, Chris shares actor Dan Akroyd’s experience with the strange beings who tried to cancel his UFO series. Cody’s next story is about Paul Miller, who shot an alien while hunting then was visited by the MIB. Chris’s last story veers from aliens and discusses the MIB’s involvement with none other than Mothman. Our Creep of the Week is a fascinating story about ghosts on a famous ship from listener “Lern” (Chris pronounced it wrong, DOH!). Drinks/snacks this week are Bomb Pops and 805 Ale.<br> <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bsp-the-idio-t-synchrasy-files/id1271588099" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=152948&refid=stpr" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> <a href="https://playmusic.app.goo.gl/?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Idyya5igdpxb6ahq7jk367nvtze?t%3DBSP:_The_Idio%255Bt%255Dsynchrasy_Files%26pcampaignid%3DMKT-na-all-co-pr-mu-pod-16" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a> <a href="https://www.blubrry.com/bsp_the_idiotsynchrasy_files/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"></a><br> <br> Advisory: 0:00s-0:13s<br> Intro Music: 0:13s-0:36s<br> Topic: 0:36s-3:47m<br> Snacks/Drinks: 3:47m-5:12m<br> History: 5:12m-9:34m<br> Herbert Hopkins: 9:34m-17:09m<br> Dan Akroyd: 17:09m-22:01m<br> Podcoin: 22:01m-22:58m<br> Paul Miller: 22:58m-28:10m<br> Mothman: 28:10m-31:36m<br> Skeptic: 31:36m-37:40m<br> Believer: 37:40m-40:15m<br> Creep of the Week: 40:15m-45:39m<br> Sign Off: 45:39m-46:49m<br> Outro Music: 46:49m-47:04m<br> <br> Links<br> <br> History-<br> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_in_black">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_in_black</a><br> <a href="https://www.history.com/news/men-in-black-real-origins">https://www.history.com/news/men-in-black-real-origins</a><br> <a href="https://www.livescience.com/24822-men-in-black.html">https://www.livescience.com/24822-men-in-black.html</a><br> <br> Dr. Herbert Hopkins<br> <a href="https://thoughtcatalog.com/jacob-geers/2016/04/creepy-stories-of-the-real-men-in-black/">https://thoughtcatalog.com/jacob-geers/2016/04/creepy-stories-of-the-real-men-in-black/</a><br> <a href="https://player.fm/series/strange-new-england/men-in-black-in-maine-the-1976-herbert-hopkins-case">https://player.fm/series/strange-new-england/men-in-black-in-maine-the-1976-herbert-hopkins-case</a><br> <br> Dak Aykroyd<br> <a href="https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/01/dan-aykroyd-ufos-and-the-men-in-black/">https://mysteriousuniverse.org/2018/01/dan-aykroyd-ufos-and-the-men-in-black/</a><br> <a href="https://www.disclose.tv/dan-aykroyd-describes-his-strange-encounter-with-the-real-men-in-black-305788">https://www.disclose.tv/dan-aykroyd-describes-his-strange-encounter-with-the-real-men-in-black-305788</a><br> <br> Paul Miller<br> <a href="https://www.ufocasebook.com/2009/shotanalien.html">https://www.ufocasebook.com/2009/shotanalien.html</a><br> <br> Connie Carpenter<br> <a href="https://1428elm.com/2017/12/28/point-pleasant-silver-bridge-collapse-and-the-mothman-50-years-later/">https://1428elm.com/2017/12/28/point-pleasant-silver-bridge-collapse-and-the-mothman-50-years-later/</a><br> <a href="http://www.weirdus.com/states/ohio/unexplained_phenomena/men_in_black/index.php">http://www.weirdus.com/states/ohio/unexplained_phenomena/men_in_black/index.php</a><br> <br> Debunk<br> <a href="https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4351">https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4351</a>
