| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:02.3 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:08.7 | It's 2.28 a.m. in Los Phyllis, and you're listening to Night Call. |
| 0:14.8 | Night Call, a podcast for your strange days and lonely night. |
| 0:31.7 | I'm in Los Angeles. My name is Tess Lynch. And with me is Molly Lambert. And in New York we have Emily Ishida we've had like |
| 0:40.3 | three L.A. locations in a while I just want to point that out. We've been very coastally biased |
| 0:45.1 | recently. I was just going to say I made the decision to place us in Los Feliz because we will be |
| 0:52.1 | talking about the Los Felas murder house but I realized while I was saying it that Los Feliz because we will be talking about the Los Felas murder house. But I realized while I was saying it that Los Feliz is one of the most debated. How do you say that place? Places. Los Feliz. Nobody says Los Feliz. It should really be that. Well, you know, if you're driving, your navigator will say Los Feliz. Your navigator. Your navigator. You're navigator. Well, it's either way an argument could be made.

| 2:04.4 | off the coast. They didn't go ahead and say that these were extraterrestrial ships, |
| 2:10.4 | but they couldn't explain what they were. And there were a couple of near misses where planes |
| 2:14.8 | almost collided with them. And there are some details in the New York Times article about how the G force, everyone |
| 2:21.2 | was freaking out about the G force because decelerating and accelerating are dangerous |
| 2:26.8 | points. |
| 2:27.2 | So if you have to decelerate because you almost collide with a UFO, it's not good. |
| 2:32.7 | It's bad. |
