From UFOs to psychic powers and government conspiracies, history is riddled with unexplained events.

You can turn back now or learn the stuff they don't want you to know.

A production of IHeart Radio. Hello, welcome back to the show.

My name is Matt.

My name is Noel.

They call me, Ben.

We're joined, as always, with our super producer, Dylan, the Tennessee pal Fagan.

Most importantly, you are you, you are here.

That makes this the stuff they don't want you to know.

And we hope that your pets are listening in as well in tonight's conversation.

We're getting to something that is going to be familiar to all pet owners and animal lovers in the crowd.

It's the idea that you might have a favorite pet and you feel that, oh my gosh, this pet gets me.

We have a genuine bond.

I don't just interact with this dog or this cat or this parrot.

We wholeheartedly communicate with and understand each other

on a deep level. Have you guys ever had that feeling with an animal, a furry, scaly, or

feathered friend? I'm starting to feel it with my buddy Apollo. He's very young, still less than a

year old, but I don't know, I feel like we get each other.

And it's a new phase for me, having that kind of connection with an animal. I've mainly had cats in the past, and I don't feel like it's possible to connect with cats on that level. Ben, you may disagree. I just feel like they're kind of weird aliens and they don't literally, more figuratively speak the same language as we do. I don't know, man, my cat Smokey really got me.

That's cool.

I think so.

Maybe it's a cat-to-cat situation. It is. I would say it's probably, it's cat-to-cat, it's person-to-person, and cats, as we're going to find, are a really interesting break in the narrative of domestication.
