Cristina: Warning. This program contains strong themes meant for a mature audience. Discretion is advised.

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: Welcome to the Rambling Podcast. I am your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I am your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. For real.

Cristina: For real, for real.

Jack: So last week we were trying to find out more about this place called Hyperborea, you know, where the Nephilim most likely were after we've established what the fact of all the information we've been uncovering truly seems to be, at least now in this new 2024 reframing. I guess every couple of years the narrative shifts into some new thing. Before it was mysticism, then it was science as, like, you know, astronomy and stuff, realms and junk. And now it's like. No, that was all just computer program. It's a simulation.

Cristina: It's crazy.

Jack: This is weird. But as you guys, anybody who was listening and you, Christina, as you guys all know, last week there was way more to talk about, but I couldn't get to any of it because there was absolutely too much to talk about. So instead what I've done is created an entire different set of information. Well, then I cut out that information and added to it to then be able to give what I was omitting originally because I thought it wouldn't make it, but none of it made it. So now all of what I was originally not gonna.

Cristina: It's all related to Nephilims?

Jack: No. Well, sort of.

Cristina: What's the bait? What's everything about at the end of the day? Or not really anything specific.

Jack: It's literally about everything we've been talking about. All of it. Yes.

Cristina: Not just enough.

Jack: Not just enough. It's about everything we've been talking about.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah. And so my intention was to get to that, but that seemed to be a little bit of a problem because we had quite a bit of a content to get through. And hopefully that's not a problem today because we're going to try to actually get through all of those things. Things. So I'll begin by mentioning the fact that Hyperborea was a huge focal point for the Greek. They talked about it quite a bit.

Cristina: That's the name of the island that they're supposed to be coming from. The Nephilims, maybe.

Jack: I don't. I don't know if it was an island. I know it was.

Cristina: Or whatever. Like. Yes, the area far away.

Jack: Yes, yes.

Cristina: In the north.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's supposed to Be that. And so in originally, following this train of thought about the Nephilim, I came across something really interesting and weird. So what I'm gonna do is show you what it is first and then we're gonna talk about what it is real quick. So I'll have you now look at what do the people say? Example A or whatever. No, what do they say? Like, object, whatever. You know, when they're doing a presentation, like, look A or whatever.

Cristina: Yes. I don't know what it is, but.

Jack: You know what I mean.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Okay, so let us begin.

Cristina: Evidence. Let's just say evidence one and two or something.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Examples. Here are some examples. What would you say looking at this? We are looking at wheels. It looks like a wheel, right? Oh, now you're zoning in. What kind of a machine? What are we looking at?

Cristina: Clock lock box. Okay.

Jack: It looks like a safe. I can see.

Cristina: Yeah, A very fancy door.

Jack: Mm. Mm. That would be a really fancy door. And so this is the recreation of it. These are the recreation of this.

Cristina: What we have those rusty parts?

Jack: Yes. This is what it looks like as we have it. And working back from it, this is what we have.

Cristina: Is it very thin, though?

Jack: It's filled with many components. That part isn't necessarily thin.

Cristina: Yeah, but the box. That's the whole box. The one in the bottom. This one.

Jack: Both of these would be what the whole thing looks like.

Cristina: Yeah, but like, it's that length. Like, it looks like a book, maybe, or a safe where you can hide a book.

Jack: Maybe a safe where you can hide a book.

Cristina: Maybe. I don't know, because it looks like you can open it, but it looks very thin, like you're gonna put something in there. I don't know.

Jack: Well, I'll tell you exactly what this is so that you can comprehend the nature of the situation. This is called the Antikythera mechanism, and it is. Be ready for this.

Cristina: A.

Jack: From roughly the year about 2000 BC. This is an analog computer that can run computations of extremely high degree. And it most likely resulted in being able to navigate large distances accurately using the longitude and longitude of places in order to find and locate anything.

Cristina: It's a kind of computer.

Jack: It's a computer. It's a giant calculator of some sort. But not just calculator numerically, but it would, like, literally give you locations based on the numbers and the equations that you put into it.

Cristina: What exactly was the tech? I don't know. Like, what's it made out of? It just looked like a bunch of wheels.

Jack: Yeah, these are many different plates that work together. Kind of like if you had a clock. Think of a watch on your arm that's an analog watch that's still running metronome, essentially of exactness, trying to calculate time. An analog computer would essentially work the same way, but it would have. It's kind of like how people build it in Minecraft that you can have. Like, you're not really building a computer, but really they're having. If this thing moves this way, then that thing should move that way. And so that's what's happening here. And so that thing should move that way as a result of many of these other things moved this way will give you an exact that way, which would be the answer. It's a. It's a computer. It's an analog computer that you run all of it and will provide you with information that you didn't previously provide. So it could work like a gps, it could work like a calculator, it could work like a clock. It runs numbers and works in all facets of number running.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yes. And so it is quite possible that this is what they use to track many, many things, and that this is why they were a problem to the Aletians to begin with, because they.

Cristina: Wait, that's from the Greeks.

Jack: It's from the Greek.

Cristina: Because I don't think you said where that came from.

Jack: Oh, yeah, this is from the Greek.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yep, it's from the Greek.

Cristina: And they made it how long ago it.

Jack: The earliest possible date is about 2000 years BC, which most likely is incorrect. That's just the earliest likely. But in order to achieve this level of computation power, you must have been working at it for quite some time, which means it's most likely significantly older than that.

Cristina: Or they could have borrowed it from somebody.

Jack: It doesn't exist anywhere else. I'm talking about just the only things we found. We can't say we were because we have only found it there. No speculation needs to be had here, because they're the only ones. And we've seen more technological places that didn't have it. So there must have been better systems that we aren't aware of. This is just their system.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And we can. Like. There's. It's nowhere else. It's never been found anywhere else. Nothing similar to it has been found anywhere else. It's just Greek.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They did not borrow this. They invented this. But they most likely used this to find the Nephilim. This is probably how they got there and back consistently.

Cristina: Is there More than one of these there, though?

Jack: There are several, yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah, it seems to be a high society piece of technology which you can obviously just attribute to the Greek gods research group.

Cristina: You think they were searching for the Nephilims?

Jack: I don't think they were searching for anything specifically. I think science and science related things had them going places and investigating weird things. I don't think they were necessarily looking for anything. It was science. I mean, maybe, but again, we don't know.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That would be highly speculative. Without any additional information, we don't know what this was being used for. We just know what it could have been used for. And until we get like something that tells us it names it directly and said, oh, this is how they found the thing, like, this is just technology we know of.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So in doing that I realized we've done all of this and like, I don't know how this never came up, but I also guess we never really directly tried to interact with their technology, anybody's technology from that time. We just read about it and I'm like, wait, why don't we look at.

Cristina: Some of this more different Greek technology, More technology, okay.

Jack: And it began with like, oh, the Greek. Because why would we focus on the Greek if there's way better people out there? Right?

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Like this is primitive next to some of the things we're gonna come up with right now. Yeah, this is. No, this is the bottom of the barrel. Oh, they were obviously like, that's what I'm telling you. This is definitely not borrowed. This is primitive next to some of the s*** we're about to come through, which is older than this. This is primitive next to crap that's older than it.

Cristina: So we're going back in time?

Jack: Yeah, we're essentially going back in time to look at some really interesting things. And the location to a lot of these things is very telling. So let us begin with a concept that we call the Baghdad Battery. So the Baghdad Battery is essentially a portable drone battery. Not even a battery. It's an energy generator which uses magnets, it uses copper coils, and it uses water to create a magnetic field in order to then generate enough electricity to then light bulbs and light electronics. It is a very interesting.

Cristina: It's very strange, like, but it's a battery. Like it was being used as a type of battery.

Jack: It's a portable generator. Portable generator, yeah, like it stores energy but also generates energy. And it works in such a manner where it has the copper coils, you fill the bottom with water, it has the Rotating iron rod.

Cristina: But then what did they do with these batteries?

Jack: Power things.

Cristina: Like what stuff? You have no idea.

Jack: Presumably things that required electricity. Again, I am telling you what I do know. We're discussing the objects. I don't if I know what it was used for. You're gonna get that information, okay? I assure you that much. But I know this much. It's a battery. And when we recreate it, it's actually so sophisticated that we needed to find it in order to recreate it. Because before finding it, this basic concept of how to generate electricity seemingly with nothing, mm. Would have been something we thought impossible. Super basic. Looking extremely efficient and generates enough of a power source that you can power small objects with it, allowing you to carry this to the middle of the desert, for example, and power something inside of a cave.

Cristina: What can that possibly be, though, that they're powering?

Jack: It's portable. Anything, anywhere. You can take it anywhere. It's not stationary. So it's not for a thing. It's for many things.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Is for whatever requires electricity that needs a small supply. So whatever they had that required electricity, assume that was powering it if it was small enough. This was found in Iran.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Iran is Persia, specifically the part of Persia where the Elysians come from. There are many of these. This is abundant as f***. Look at how many different variations are found all over the place. And more densely the closer to the neck of the Persian Gulf oasis you get.

Cristina: But like they're all different shapes and sizes too.

Jack: Yeah. Ultimately the same. Not two different size. Like we're talking that they aren't necessarily too, too, too big. They're the size of a jar. We call them a jar. So the size of like a vase or something like that, you know, very simple, basic idea. But it works. And we didn't come up with it ourselves, we had to find it. So great. Battery source suggests a lot of electronics existed in small, like small energy required requirement electronics. And there are many, many, many, many, many. This assumes that perhaps the Iranian people of that time, which was Persia, because this is dating far back from B.C. we're talking thousands of years in. It assumes that they had a lot of portable things, maybe phones, maybe light bulbs. Again, you go into a cave, you want to mine it or something. You strap some lights, you connect it to this thing. Now you got light in there. Maybe it could generate like fire or heat. Maybe you're trying to stay warm when it's cold in the desert.

Cristina: Imagine that.

Jack: Yeah. It could be any number of things. This could power which in return the Persians have portable batteries. And that obviously took me to the next logical conclusion, which is, well, where were you getting the electricity that you're storing in here to begin with? This could generate, but you could also store massive amounts of electricity in here. Which then takes us to the obvious. The pyramids of Giza, which are the bigot generator. Right. Without talking about any of the teleportation technology, which is only inscribed upon the walls, we don't know which of these chambers work in such a way to use the teleportation, although it's suspected that it's the centerpiece. Right. Especially because it has many quantum annotations on the walls.

Cristina: What?

Jack: But the rest of it, again it's a, it's fascinating that this pyramid serves as two examples.

Cristina: How far is the pyramid to those jars?

Jack: The pyramid is way before that. We're talking like 5,000, 6,000 years BC which is roughly a thousand or 2,000 years before these jars.

Cristina: But like what the locations though are they how far?

Jack: Oh, oh, they're near each other. Iran, in Egypt or close. Close.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And all of that was considered per Persia. That was all one empire.

Cristina: Well, it's pretty big empire. And what was happening with the pyramid was in the sensor.

Jack: They think the two things that this has are many quantum equations in the center chamber and then the rest of it is built of quartz and is built of electrical magnetic equipment, can store and generate energy in mass and presumably can receive energy from this chamber, which makes no sense because it's a closed off chamber. It receives energy from the outside and it receives mass energy from this chamber, which seems to be the main spot that it would receive it from. Which makes no sense because the chamber is completely closed off and has nothing in there other than quantum annotations, which suggests some hefty, hefty, hefty unknown tech happening.

Cristina: That is awesome.

Jack: Yes, yes. And there's actually a couple of explanations on how these things work. So it generates its own magnetic field which can then generate electricity accordingly.

Cristina: That has to do with the outside of it.

Jack: Yes, well it's structure inside and outside are both highly important.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yes, very, very efficient. So diving specifically into the pyramids, I'm going to read you some details about how they function. Now, the electrical magnetic concentration. The pyramid can focus electrical magnetic energy in its internal chambers under its base, which essentially hints at its capability of generating and manipulating a huge magnetic field and then in return creating the energy necessary so it can generate the energy, not just the magnetic field, but the.

Cristina: Energy itself generates it stores it?

Jack: Yes. Then it doesn't store it. It generates it and has all. All the facilities to move it. Now, this is where it gets interesting. Because it was unknown most of this, how it would work, until we come across Nikolai Tesla. And Nikolai Tesla had a particular obsession with these because he wanted to be the other. He wanted to make his own power sources. We know his power sources are the most efficient, which is why they're not used. Because we don't need efficient. We can't profit off of that. So we buried him so that we can profit off of electricity.

Cristina: So was he inspired by it?

Jack: He was inspired by it. And his work ultimately highlighted how exaggerated this was. So going into the materials that they're made out of, there's an abundance of quartz crystals, two for limestones, which are all capable of conducting and generating electricity and can insulate electricity from escaping. So it's essentially a trap that can generate a bunch of magnetic field, draws electricity in, and then it cannot escape. On top of the fact that it seems to be able to receive electricity from where, who knows? But that's not how it. This is three different ways of acquiring electricity.

Cristina: Whatever this electricity.

Jack: Okay, whatever this random chamber is that's getting electricity from where, then the. The magnetism that's pulling electrical magnetic energy from the outside in. And now let's quickly dive into Nikolai Tesla. Now, he managed to replicate the distribution of the energy wirelessly through obelisks. These are tall tower things, and these towers send electrical currents from the top. Kind of like if you made a really tall metal rod and that would get hit by lightning bolts and stuff.

Cristina: They were metal towers.

Jack: He managed to create metal towers and send electricity that's stored in the metal tower, not stored in the metal tower. But if you connect the metal tower to, like a battery or something, he managed to send electricity to power things wirelessly from the metal tower. So one metal tower to the other can share electricity. Now they have equaled out electricity. So if obelisk 1 has the electricity energy, it's. It's the one with the electrical power. Obelisk 2 has 0. You then power obelisk 1 and allow it to send the current, and you power obelisk 2 to receive it. Now, although they'll lose in the exchange because you need to send it, that's energy being used. Instead of one obelisk having 100% of the energy, both obelisks have 80% of the energy, divided in half. So 40 and 40. You manage to get the energy across with no wires, with no Infrastructure with nothing. You just sent it directly.

Cristina: When was he doing this?

Jack: Nikolai Tesla was doing this. He did. He discovered this and created it in 1884 when he established this discovery.

Cristina: Okay. And you think he's based it on.

Jack: He did. He claimed this in his own notes. He was clearly visibly. And his patent used a lot of this information. He was visibly obsessed with the pyramids. Yeah. He was not. It's not. I think. No. He himself consisted. He would go there and study them all the time. Yeah. He was just trying to figure it out. Which worked because he managed to create a electrical system that required no infrastructure other than obelisks in order to distribute energy. And you got to understand that losing 20% of the energy when you're generating it essentially from thin air doesn't matter like where is it coming from that you're losing it to begin with. Right. And so on top of these systems, he also theorized he can take solar energy in mass as opposed to the theorized waster of it. Like Washington believed that the capturing the sun would be one of the least efficient ways because we couldn't wrap the world up. Nikolai Tesla believed that that's a stupid idea because you don't need to wrap the world up. You just need enough solar power to power the thing you're trying to power. Which makes sense.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Just however much energy you need. Just make it a little bigger than that so you have a little extra.

Cristina: That's why we need an infinite amount of energy.

Jack: Well, it depends on what these people were trying to accomplish. As opposed. But his system was highly efficient and based entirely off of the things on the pyramid. So Tesla's work on his electrical magnetic pyramid and Tesla's towers were inspired by the structures of the pyramids of Giza. And he was aiming to harness additional energy from the Earth directly, not just the magnetic field and whatever teleportation system was occurring here. Enter the resonance energy transmission. The third function the pyramid discovered by Nikola Tesla as well.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Upon trying to figure out where the extra surplus would be coming from. So the Great Pyramid of Giza has an acoustic device designed to harmonize with the Earth's natural vibration and convert this into microwave energy.

Cristina: That sounds a little. A little insane. I don't know. That's so weird.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so some of the chambers and passageways were precisely positioned to maximize acoustic properties, which Nikolai was actually easily able to replicate once he needed. Once he knew there was something missing to getting more energy in, he realized that if you take all the elements into account. He's pulling some out of the air and then he's using some essentially put with fire, you could say by pulling it out of.

Cristina: He really did this. He really. And it's really based on the Ferret. That's so crazy.

Jack: Yeah. And Washington then bought all his specs and buried. Buried all of it. He bought the patent off of Nikolai Tesla and then totally disregarded because he wanted to make a profit. So this information wasn't even buried by the Elysians or the Egyptians. Modern day man suppressed this technology in order to make a buck. Yes. We have an energy crisis because we built the planet off of greed.

Cristina: That makes sense. That feels right.

Jack: Yep, yep, yep. Now we know that in Persia specifically, the Egyptians were an elite group within Persia to the point that we refer to the Egyptians as their own group. We don't even relate them to the fact that, yes, they were technically within Persia, but they weren't the Elysians. They are a different group from within Persia who worked exclusively on forms of energy. Catching energy, storing energy, moving energy. And the closer we get to the Elysians, the closer we get to this technology, like the batteries. But then when we go towards Egypt, the closer we get towards Egypt, the closer we get to generators, not batteries. Okay, interesting. So the energy was being created in Egypt and moved to Elysium.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: You see how the image is starting to build?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The closer we get to one, it plays out one way, the closer we get to the other. Mm, it plays out another way. So we can basically pinpoint who's making it and who's receiving it. Because the obelisks seem to be what's missing around the pyramids. But there's all the positions for them to exist, including the big pyramid itself being the most obvious obelisk. It's the tallest point around and also most likely where it's all coming from. So they don't need the batteries in their region if they're directly getting the electrical currents wirelessly. Yeah, but you can't teleport that across huge countries. You need to be able to deliver it. So maybe trucks packed with these batteries can then take them. Or this technology allows them to then, without having to build huge infrastructure, deliver the technology to generate small amounts. But you just keep sent because again, there's so many. The closest.

Cristina: But they have teleportation.

Jack: Presumably all of this is taking place prior to that, obviously. Otherwise why would they need any of this if they could just send it there? Yeah, obviously this would have to. Obviously the batteries must predate the. The teleporter. Because how are you even gonna power a teleporter to begin with? That's a huge amount of energy required. You gotta bend space. Assume they had the energy to do that first and that it wasn't literal magic. So, yeah, they must have shared the energy locally, but then given them the tools to continue to have energy again. You could. With the batteries, you could generate electricity. Not a lot of electricity, but if you had a f*** ton of it. Which, again, the closer you get to the neck of the Persian Gulf oasis, the more we find. Which kind of fits the. Oh, over there, they don't need them. Over here they do. And in the middle, you'd see an average amount.

Cristina: Yes. Yeah.

Jack: Kind of works.

Cristina: Yes, it does.

Jack: That's beautiful. Except them working on these things was a small part of it. That's what takes us to the ancient staffs these people had. What all of them work. They're made with copper. They've got copper wiring and they can generate electricity themselves.

Cristina: They're holding these staffs.

Jack: Yes. You can use these to create electrical currents and to move electricity. These are the tools of people who work with electricity. Which, weirdly enough, happens to fit the very visuals that commoners painted of the Sun Gods, which was that the Sun Gods, particularly all had staffs reminiscent of these objects, which are coil. Coil induction systems.

Cristina: They look like wizards. I don't understand.

Jack: Yeah, it looks like wizards. And basically wizards is what you need to look like to work with electricity.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And to a normal.

Cristina: Electric powers.

Jack: Yeah. And to a normal person. So you have a hat to protect yourself, a really complicated hat that's diced, diverting anything from hitting you. Then you have a staff meant to generate and wield electricity. Then you and your elite group of people are working in this place where every night they can see the electricity that they can't see during the day. And it looks like a thunderstorm is continuously, always happening. It's like, oh, no, the wizards hang out over there. Those are the gods. Obviously, a normal human is going to look at this and be like, those are gods. They have to be. You have to be. There's something else. You're not gonna f*** with them. Those are gods.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But no, as you start painting, this picture starts to kind of reel it way in.

Cristina: And it's like, crazy thing, though.

Jack: It looks crazy, but when you ground it in, the fact that it's just a coil staff that allows direction and production of small amounts of energy. It's essentially an inverted version of the battery it allows them to. While the battery stores it. This doesn't store it. You could generate it and use it in a moment. You can't use a lot, but again, it powers things instantaneously. Perhaps if you're working inside pyramid and you got to repair something. This is an easy way to send electrical currents, test things out, go to people's houses, do something that allows them to cook their meal or something. I don't know. I don't know what this could possibly have been used for. But again, diving into Nikolai Tesla's awesomeness, he managed to completely understand the mechanical systems of each one of these details.

Cristina: He made his own.

Jack: Yes, well, he does. How he invented the coils that he used for a lot of these. Yeah, the copper coiling systems were invented by him and then used by George Washington. But yeah, so these are called dyad pillars, and the dyad pillars themselves are capacitors.

Cristina: But those are Egyptian's version or his versions.

Jack: These are Egyptians versions. And him explaining the systems and how they work. Because we got to see his versions as just normal coil systems.

Cristina: Oh, okay. The coils are what's based on these?

Jack: Yes. Everything we use to conduct and capture and transfer electricity at this moment to this day is identical to what you're looking at here.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Okay. So you can see right here how coils are essentially used in order to wrap electrical currents. This has a negative and a positive. And then you can see when we go to the same system, coiling, he can explain the detailing of how there's a negative and a positive system. There's an out and there's an in, equal to how our current systems have an out and an in. And then that negative positive charge allows with a two system to power and charge a battery, although it itself doesn't store, can create, generate and distribute it. And so this is essentially the same designs that they had, that you can send out electricity even if you can't store it within the device. So this, this staff must have predated the Baghdad battery. It was the first portable way to have electricity. And then the battery became the first way to not have to use the electricity when it's portable instantaneously, but rather deliver unused electricity.

Cristina: It's prob.

Jack: Like, yes, you could house way more. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the battery. You could power a house. With the Baghdad battery, you can power a small house, an apartment. If you have a two, three bedroom apartment, that Baghdad battery can power that place for a day with one fill of water, so you can the next day fill it again. And have another day worth of electricity.

Cristina: And you think the staffs are just used around the pyramid.

Jack: The staffs are. It's unknown what they're used for, but the staffs are at least, bare minimum, a portable version that cannot store electricity. You can generate electricity on the spot, no matter where you are, but not a strong current. So it works for like if, let's say you attach a light bulb to the top of one of these, you can go. And now you have. Instead of needing a fire or a lantern that could. In a cave, this just fumes that you're inhaling. You just walk in with a staff that's essentially a flashlight. Okay, so now you've created a nice. You can go and have a stove outside that's electric and you just put this next to it and you could like have a barbecue if you want.

Cristina: that's interesting.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Presumably if you had cars, you could attach this to a car and allows you to power the car without having to store energy. And it would just be indefinite energy happening within the car. It would be consistent. And the moment you deactivate this, the car doesn't have any electricity. So it's just a really over. But you can't store it. But you can generate it on the spot, like the battery, except the battery can also store it. Now the battery creates very little electricity. You can't do a city, but you could do an apartment. You could power things with it.

Cristina: We still have the jars, though. But we don't have the staffs anymore.

Jack: We have all of the above. What do you mean?

Cristina: Oh, we do? Okay. I thought he was just basing the staffs on the pyramids or something.

Jack: No, he looked at the staffs and understood what their purposes were. Okay, yeah, all of the. Think I like, test like once they're personal. And he figured all of it out. Oh, all of this is just in places for us, you know. Now that's just batteries. Like I said. This is gonna get weird as we keep going. It's gonna get really complicated. So I'm gonna show you the next piece, and then I'm gonna tell you where it came from. That's more important than even what it is. So I want you to tell me what you think this nifty little object is. This is. Keep in mind, everything here is technology.

Cristina: That is technology. See, it looks like. Are you storing something in it?

Jack: Maybe? So to describe it to the. To the listeners, this basically looks like another jar. Really fancy, elegantly designed. It has dragon head sticking off of one side and what looks like frogs.

Cristina: Frogs, yeah.

Jack: Capturing whatever's falling.

Cristina: Water. No, it's not water.

Jack: It uses water to a degree, but itself isn't reliant on, like. It's not water about. It's not about water. Okay, so I'll get to it. Explaining the mechanical nature of it. This is a free hanging little wire. It's heavy. It's very, very heavy. It could barely be moved unless you're applying quite a lot of force. This jar goes on to a very stable surface, something that isn't gonna move.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And when there is a tiny, tiny, tiny. Because of the weight, when there's the tiniest, tiniest of vibrations, it shifts away from the vibration, which then forces in the direction of the vibration as the bars inside. At the top angle, you can see there's bars connected here at the top. When it moves one way, it releases a hinge on the mouth. All the mouths of the dragons have little pelts, pellets that are in there. And when the bar moves, the weight distribution. Opening the mouth, it falls. Now, it's almost imperceptibly tiny. Imperceptibly tiny that you standing in front of it can watch one fall and never have felt what it felt. It is an earthquake detection system. It is a seismic size. A seismoscope. And the seismoscope, it's very fancy. It's not just very fancy. It might be among one of the most accurate to have ever existed. And its original creation came to be in, like, well, recorded. Again, it's not so impressive. What it is. It's how it came to be. To allow me to tell you, Zhang Heng's seismoscope was created in 132 after the death of Jesus. Right. Very interesting. Very important information. Specifically with the fact that it was found and developed. Well, it was not found. It was created in China by this philosopher, Ching Heng. And so it's essentially the first earthquake detection system and quite sophisticated. Like today, we use electronics to recreate what this is doing with not a single bit of electricity, not one ounce of it. None of this matters until I frame the next sentence.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: In his manuscript with the details, kind of like if you read Stephen King on writing. The first half of it is just as an explanation of his life, and then the second half is his instructions on what he believes. Good writing constitutes his manuscript explaining the construction of this device, which could be replicated right now. But we use electricity to be a little more efficient and get a little farther, by the way. It's super precise. It'll tell you exactly where something happened. Anyways, he claimed. This is so specific. He claims the original concept that he later perfected was brought to his. To the attention of his grandfather by a Persian man on his way to Japan. A Persian man on his way to Japan was already working on this concept. A traveler coming through. And his. He interacted with his grandfather at some point, and it seems that maybe for a year, two years, or whatever the case might be.

Cristina: He said this is after Jesus.

Jack: Yeah, He. The creation of this was created after Jesus. Yes.

Cristina: How many years?

Jack: 132 after death. This is 132 years later. Okay, follow the sentence again. It was brought to his grandfather's attention by a traveling Persian man on his way to Japan.

Cristina: Mm, sounds like Jesus.

Jack: Sounds like Jesus. Very specifically, sounds like Jesus. But the man hadn't figured this out. The man and his grandfather. Again, he perfected it. The technology was. It came to exist by this man, by Zheng Heng, not his grandfather or the guy. They just came with the ideas that he ultimately perfected when he really looked into it and studied it.

Cristina: Yeah. This architecture or whatever was just interested in that for some reason. I don't know why, but interesting.

Jack: Really advanced tech just happened to cruise on by. Interesting, Interesting. Very specifically. Sounds like Jesus.

Cristina: Yes. You said, like, the place was going to be important. I didn't understand.

Jack: Yeah, no, none of this matters. This is a useless piece of device. Because again, it's just really clever design, but we can understand how it works. It's not astounding. It's the fact that you kind of figured this out way long ago, but he wrote it all down. It's like, oh, wow, you were impressively ahead of your time. But no, he wasn't. Somebody else apparently was just so happens.

Cristina: To be in this area where everything is happening. Okay.

Jack: Yes, yes. Now this gets a little more interesting.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Because I'm gonna show you just something very fancy. Very fancy. What do you see here?

Cristina: Drains.

Jack: Looks like drains, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Some sort of a pipe system.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Nifty. You can see it's layered. There are multiple lining up. Why would there be more than one? Who knows? But there's more than one.

Cristina: There's a lot of them. Yes.

Jack: This is another instance of, obviously we know what it is, and it's not surprising what it is.

Cristina: It's where it is.

Jack: No, no. I guess, time wise, it's when it.

Cristina: Is what it is. Okay.

Jack: This is the most important win of all the wins by miles. We're not gonna come across A more important when than this when? Because right now we're talking about something that we shouldn't have access to.

Cristina: Melons. No, not too crazy.

Jack: The. The earliest possible date for the Baigong pipes is estimated to be about 150,000 years ago.

Cristina: That's hard to imagine the picture.

Jack: 100,000, 150,000 years ago.

Cristina: Where's that location now?

Jack: These metal pipes were in China. Some contain copper cylinders inside. Others are hollow and move water. Designs nearly identical to the ones found around the palace of Alcaraz at the Persian Gulf Oasis that have been dated to more recent times, about 5,000 to 6,000 BC. These pipes in China are about the earliest 150,000 BC. We are talking such a colossal difference. It is possible. It is absolute. We don't know where Eloi was when he was contacted. We don't know where his civilization was. It is absolutely possible. We just found out the origin location of the Elysians. And the Elysians, at least if we trace it to Eloi. Take us to China. Ooh. We've been looking in wrong places because we were looking at the only places we could see anything. But if we want to find things about Eloi. Might be in China, it might be in China. The Elysians are descendants of some crap that came from China. According to this, which is structures exclusively found at the Persian Gulf oasis, these pipe systems are only found in China and in the Persian Gulf Oasis in this particular design.

Cristina: Okay, and these are older.

Jack: These are significantly older. These are about 140,000 years older. What? This points us where to look. Yes, that is useful.

Cristina: What is happening there? What was happening there?

Jack: I think we just got our first, after maybe a year, maybe longer, our first look into where we can start to actually try to find LOI accounts, not passive mentions that pop out of a scripture. And then we have to bounce off of a single drawing and like sort of kind of loosely connect. No structures that maybe he most likely was around or directly responsible for creating. Interesting, huh?

Cristina: Yes. Is there more really ancient things like that?

Jack: No, that is, like I said, that is the most important.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: As the oldest, that is the only thing that old we have ever found that completely throws into question any narrative about when society began. But again, we know humans began about a hundred and thousand years ago. And then about 150,000 years ago we had like truly advanced stuff. Not advanced, like scientific, but like things that say, oh, these creatures are gonna be something.

Cristina: Those pipes are ridiculous.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This totally defies anything would have understood this was not possible for humans. It could not because we were not. We didn't exist yet.

Cristina: Yes, we couldn't have.

Jack: We couldn't exist yet. Interesting. Right. So this next one doesn't even have an image because it's more of a style of metal. But it's fascinating exactly what it is. It's called the Damascus steel, which is a medieval Middle Eastern type of steel which had exceptional strength and the production secrets of which have been lost. So it's. It cannot be replicated. We have the metals and we cannot replicate how this was made. We. It must have gone through so many different. And it's exceptionally strong.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Some really exaggerated thing. We've gotten close and imitated it in other ways. But Damascus steel is something we cannot replicate perfectly. We just get close and we make our own variant.

Cristina: And how old are these?

Jack: Unknown. Oh, it's unknown because the way of the methods and the data for it doesn't exist.

Cristina: We just have the location then.

Jack: Well, this takes us back to the same place. This was in Iran, back in the Persian Gulf. That's the same s*** over and over. So it's unknown how to replicate the steel. And it's assumed it one it has. It contains many different metals and it must have gone through several cooling and heating processes over and over and over in order to create the level of strength that it is. On top of mixing these in the right amount in order to create some almost indestructible level of metal, it was primarily used. And this is very interesting. It shows up in swords a lot. And as the metal seems to be the strongest variant of any metal. When you see movies about a sword breaking another sword, that's what they're referring to. This unbreakable steel that cannot be unsharpened. It stays equally sharp forever. You throw a feather up in the air and you can slice it clean. That kind of crap.

Cristina: Cool.

Jack: And this is that. Now the earliest signs of this metal show up in Iran. The most recent signs of this metal show up in India. This is valuable information for specifically one reason. The Indian versions of these seem to have different rune designs on the blades, while the original Iranian versions just had text written on them. This suggests that a lot of the forgers of the magic weapons came from India and that when we're talking about the Excalibur, a man had to travel to where it was improved, which was India, which was given to extra something. And now considering what a rune might really be on this exceptionally hard piece of metal, if we remember our narrative has Shifted. A rune is some sort of data. It's a symbol with data. And this is an exceptionally hard piece of metal. You've mixed a unique sort of reality bending series of information, and you've brought the exceptionally invincible version of the code, and then you put them together. You can't destroy it, but you can rip through anything that you shouldn't.

Cristina: Like fairies, though.

Jack: Like fairies. A rune, presumably, is a code. And just like Yalda managed to use things, codes, the philosopher's son must be some kind of compressed information that allows you to interact with things you shouldn't. This seems to be right up that alley.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: With the people making it being the Indians. The same people who used to take a crazy trip to Mount Cough. Why did they need Mount Kaf? Why did they know about mine Cough? Maybe some individuals were actually in cahoots and somehow buried it. Because again, we looked at the wrong thing. When we were looking at the Indians, we were wondering if they had rituals for blood. And then we stopped looking, and then they just kind of came up a couple of times with Shiva and things like that. But again, we didn't. It didn't dawn on us that way. You're coming up more than once, and now they come up again, specifically with what's probably the Fragrach's origin, the Excalibur's origin, Kildania's bows origin, every fairy killing weapon. It seems like fairy killing weapons were probably not even made by fairies, but by people who understand the code well enough.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: This one isn't about how long ago it was. This one is about where and how it was.

Jack: Two locations we've sort of ignored now prominently important.

Cristina: India and China.

Jack: Mm.

Cristina: I want to know more about China, but if we can find anything else on India, that's pretty cool.

Jack: Yeah. There is a piece of glass that is older than 3,000 years old. It has three inscribed lines on it, and it seems to be a part of a telescope.

Cristina: How old is this glass?

Jack: I just said over 3000 years old. That's where I began.

Cristina: Oh, 3000.

Jack: It's over 3000 years old and it's part of a. It seems to be part of a telescope. And based on the inscriptions that it's lines dividing it, it seems to have been designed with the intent of, again, lining up with other glass. The magnification of this one is times three. And if you were to add different, presumably different levels of magnification to it, you would have quite a long distance to look.

Cristina: And that is what they found.

Jack: This is. Yes, it Is exceptionally old.

Cristina: We're looking in the sky.

Jack: Far, far in the sky.

Cristina: So long ago.

Jack: Yeah. This one basic. But deducing what the inscriptions on it mean, the angle of the lines and where you'd want. Essentially the idea would be that all three gaps here are to line up with different. Because again, they're different widths. So you could adjust this lens according. And presumably the other lenses were also divided in such ways that they each had more and more magnification. All three of these sides have different magnification starting at 3, 6 and 9.

Cristina: How do you do that?

Jack: It's just different widths and how you warp the glass. It's kind of like if you have a bottle of water and you fill it up and then it warps kind of the image. Or if you're looking at somebody half in water, half out, and their body's all shaped weird, it's because they're either being magn to be wider or being magnified to be really skinny based on the shape of the glass. That's how magnification works. You bend glass. So this presumably is part of a bigger structure with a lot of other pieces of glass. Bare minimum three, that must also have similar inscriptions on them to create crazy magnification. That could in theory see quite far with no electricity. Probably significantly farther than we can see now.

Cristina: That's amazing. I wish you can see what it actually looked like.

Jack: Yes, that would be quite useful. And then that takes us into the very next thing. The astroloop. An intricate device used by ancient astronomers to navigate. Now, what's complicated about this tool is it doesn't just suggest navigating oceans. And that's the big weird. Like. Like. Did we find the thing?

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah. It's very elaborate. It kind of looks like a clock for the listeners. Kind of looks like a really intricate watch. Has many different layers.

Cristina: Very fancy orange watch. Or not watch. What's that thing called that you use to travel?

Jack: What, a map? A compass.

Cristina: A compass, yeah.

Jack: So. So what's complicated about this is that all the layers separately create a 3D navigation system. You can angle this and look in any direction and it will create three dimensional lines that you can travel. Why would you need to. How would you travel three dimensional lines of gravity? This was created by the Egyptians.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Why would you need to travel in three dimensional space? How?

Cristina: How?

Jack: Gravity pulls us down. So we're always walking on a flat plane. Even if you got an airplane, you wouldn't need this because you'd still be watching the world from A flat angle. As you're flying, you just need to know what's ahead or to your sides. You don't need to know what's up or down because there's nothing up with you.

Cristina: So this is to be used in space.

Jack: This is to be used in space. Which then brings into question the piece of glass we just saw, which was located in Iran, where the neck of the Persian Gulf oasis is.

Cristina: They were probably watching the things in the sky that were traveling. Well, the Egyptians, not even things.

Jack: It was people, they were watching people. This is a giant, really comprehensive. Once you get into the tech we have, a lot of this s*** just becomes obvious. And if you see how the lines overlap, you get a really comprehensive three dimensional layout. It's the same image over and over so that you can twist different caps, thus creating different angles that are only existent in three dimensions.

Cristina: What they were space traveling. They had to be.

Jack: They had to be. Had to be too advanced. Absolutely too advanced. And then this takes us to the last bit, which, which is. This is so complicated. I don't understand how the f*** any of this happens. As you know, we had those pipes and those pipes were very, very old.

Cristina: That's itself is pretty complicated, but okay.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the system with the pipes, as ancient as it was, later led to something a little more useful. Right. Directly following those systems, enter the Casabet Kanat, which is the oldest and largest Kanat, which is essentially a water system. And it's engineered to sustain life, to provide water and cooling systems without ever using an ounce of electricity.

Cristina: What is this?

Jack: A water system?

Cristina: Water system. Okay.

Jack: The thing about this is it's scattered specifically around Persia, like everything else. And the most recent possible date is about 800 BC. And the oldest possible of these is being 5 to about 5000 years of age. And they were extremely developed, which suggests that they are part of a comprehensive system that has been worked on for a very long time. As you get farther away from the Persian Gulf oasis, you come across these systems, but all in Persia, which means, well, we already established our own and they work efficiently, but as we keep going, we've gotten better and better. Every time we do it, it's better and more efficient. Every time we do it, it's better and more efficient.

Cristina: So what are these for, though?

Jack: Water.

Cristina: Just to have water to drink water?

Jack: Yes. It would move water into homes and you wouldn't need electricity.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: You would have working faucets, you would have working showers. You would have.

Cristina: That is too complicated.

Jack: Yeah. And it Requires nothing but gravity. Gravity is making all this happen. They're using the down current, then forcing it into an up current. Not only that, this eventually got exploited into something even more complicated than then allows for the same system with nothing but air in order to create cooling systems inside the house and be able to send hot air into the house during the cool season.

Cristina: What?

Jack: No electricity required?

Cristina: And that's as old?

Jack: This is about as old. It seems that these two systems were created in tandem. Highly advanced, super sophisticated, and doesn't require any, Any, Any electricity to power. This proves everything right now is a scam just so that people can charge you for s***.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: These systems exist and can be made efficiently. More efficiently than a power grid.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: This is cheaper to make than a power grid for a single house. Your house could be designed in this format. Have nothing, no electricity. And this means literally, Literally, literally. You would have nobody sending you electricity, nobody sending you water. And simply with some nice angular things, you would have the pressure necessary to have water anywhere in your house. And you would have a central cooling and heating system that is just the opposite of what it is outside at any given moment.

Cristina: That's way more perfect than what we're doing now.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: We have to pay somebody.

Jack: Yeah, 100%. This requires nothing.

Cristina: It just happened.

Jack: Self powered. The universe does it for you.

Cristina: Why don't we live in that?

Jack: Because we got to charge people for stuff in order for people to make money.

Cristina: It's crazy.

Jack: Yeah. This is way more efficient. Every house with this would essentially destroy the need for AC and the need for heaters.

Cristina: Trash.

Jack: Yep. And these are. We can find these in existing structures, but we don't continue to build them because it's inefficient. We can't make money from it.

Cristina: Oh yeah. Okay.

Jack: No, it's definitely more efficient. We just can't make money from. We can't charge somebody if we can't calculate it. And we're looking for ways to charge people.

Cristina: That is sad. But that is. That's real. That's real.

Jack: Yes. All of these.

Cristina: A lot of it looks like sci fi.

Jack: Yes. But all of it is real. All of it exists somewhere. We can go look at it in person. We could just touch it. It's there. Weird.

Cristina: Yes. The past was living in a sci fi world that we don't even. We're like trying to figure out right now.

Jack: And we are like, no, it was aliens, because they couldn't have been smarter than us. And it's like, shut up, man. Like, be quiet.

Cristina: You have no Idea.

Jack: You don't know crap. You just want to be the pinnacle. And you're not. And that s*** makes you feel weird. I don't know why.

Cristina: It was getting close.

Jack: Tesla got there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Then Washington bought his pan and was like, f*** that. I can't make money off of this. The white man. I know it was one white man with another white man. Whatever, Was a good white man. And then the greedy dollar wanting white man, whatever the case may be. Anyways. Anyways. So this is essentially what I wanted to discuss before. I was gonna focus on the more important of these, which were obviously the pipe systems, the heating systems, and the weapon systems. Gonna focus on China and gonna focus on India. But because I couldn't fit that. Now we had an entire episode of all the tech I found.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Of which all of it is impressive. It wouldn't have fit into the one episode. Maybe eventually I would have addressed it again, but here we are. That episode was too big. And this is now a whole episode based on this. So the ancient technologies, relics, and structures that are way more advanced, and we can go prove by just walking there and looking at it. It.

Cristina: That's crazy. And they're also. They're ancients.

Jack: Nothing on that list is younger than starting at a thousand years ago. Nothing. And the oldest being. Yeah, no, it's weird that Jesus just casually cruised through somewhere and gave somebody a way to detect earthquakes. What the. But, yeah. Marked with some dude's granddad. So, yeah, that's where we are. If you guys just go. Go look at all this stuff, bro. Type in the names. I don't mention all the names. Just find it as you go along. You figure it out. It's all there. All of it. You can find us to talk to us about these things, tell us your ideas and whatnot on all the socials. That's just Convopod on TikTok, on X, on Instagram, on Facebook.

Cristina: Remember to subscribe, rate, and review the show.

Jack: Yes. And word of mouth is the most overpowered, exaggerated thing that has ever existed under the sun. You can tell people, hey, look, you're paying way electricity than you should if your electricity bill is exceptionally high, especially when the winter comes because you're either powering a little electric heater or because your gas system is going a little harder because you're trying to warm your house up. And you, for whatever reason, don't live in Korea, where they figured it out and put the heating pipes underneath the floors, which is obviously the way to go. But Americans are stupid, so they didn't do that.

Cristina: But it's too much anyway. Like, even if it was a dollar, that's too much.

Jack: Yeah. Any money when free is the comparison.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You can lower your bill to zero if you just install this actually significantly cheaper system that would only require you to cut some holes out here and there. That's it. You would just need, at best, a tool to make a wide enough hole. And the hole doesn't even really have to be that wide because the consistency of air would do it. They rely on the fact that air exists at all times and not just when you hit a button. So it would just because we can't charge people. So, yeah, you're paying too much for heat and you're paying too much for electricity. And like, at the end of the day, even if the Koreans learned how to warm their house properly by putting the heating directly underneath, they're paying. Like, that's too much, bro. You're paying. That's more than you should.

Cristina: This has been the Rambling podcast. Take nothing personal and thanks for listening. Bye.

+Transcripts

Cristina: Warning. This program contains strong themes meant for a mature audience. Discretion is advised.

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: Welcome to the Just Conversation podcast, the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas in childish ways. I'm your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And if you haven't yet, remember to hit that subscribe button to get notified the second new episodes are released.

Cristina: Also, this show is most enjoyable with a listening partner to share opinions and ideas on topics we discuss.

Jack: Yes. Yes, it is. So go out into the wild, into the woods as usual. Or if you're in a desert, I guess that makes sense, too. Anywhere. Anywhere is good.

Cristina: Find some outside.

Jack: Yeah, the outside world.

Cristina: Why does it have to be outside?

Jack: Fair enough. Break into somebody's house.

Cristina: That sounds easier.

Jack: Yeah, I mean, I'm assuming people in the wilderness were already listening to our show instead of people just chilling at home, but I guess there's a pandemic going on. Everyone's life, everyone's inside. You could just break into somebody's house and be like, you guys are listening to a fun, exciting podcast. Fun for the whole family.

Cristina: I always imagine them riding on a train and then getting the person on some random person on the train to listen to it. Because people like to listen to podcasts while traveling.

Jack: Yeah, could be they just pull out the headphones. They're like, what the f***, dude? Yeah, it's like, I got something better.

Cristina: Better than whatever the person's doing.

Jack: Yeah. And then they share headphones with a stranger.

Cristina: How does that work?

Jack: When you stand next to each other and you share headphones.

Cristina: Mm. Like the headphone is just in between the ears. I guess I'm thinking of these headphones. Like, how would it work?

Jack: No, no, no. Like the little earbud things that you put in.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then one takes one, one takes the other. Or now they use the wireless ones anyway.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So you could just hand it to them. And they don't have to be all close and personal, but the emotion, the love and care of being that close together dissolves with. Because it used to be way more intimate and romantic to listen to something with somebody else. Because you had to be shoulder to shoulder listening to things. Now you can just give them the headphones and walk away. And it's not. It's intimacy's dying, man.

Cristina: With strangers.

Jack: Yeah. Or just all around intimacy in general. But I mean, that's a. That's a course of technology, right?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Technology makes us very detached and impersonal.

Cristina: We're Becoming robots.

Jack: Sort of. Kind of. I mean, that's always been the case. We're always getting more mechanic and robotic and computerized.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Our phones are the grand masters of that. They hold everything.

Cristina: If we didn't have phones though, I feel like it'd still be the same. We do something else. We use our laptops.

Jack: Yeah, but we weren't as attached to our laptops as we are to our phones. No, the phone has made it too convenient, the laptop. Well, nobody wants to carry this big s*** around. People use it for practical reasons. Now you just use your phone for f****** anything all the time, whatever. And then the other problem is apps for whatever the f*** you ever need.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: If you had a thought, there's an app for it.

Cristina: Mm. I'm not that creative. I don't have enough apps anymore. Apps? No, I have apps. My phone sucks. So it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. But is there any creative apps you found that you didn't think exist would have existed?

Jack: Not anything per se, but I know that there's an app for everything, usually consuming a person's life. If you are going to jog, get an app on your phone. You can track your progress while you're outside jogging.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You're going to eat. Get a food schedule so you know how many calories you're consuming, how many meals you've had.

Cristina: There's app for studying, so you don't look at your phone, so it records, but it has to be on, I guess. So you're still using. Using the phone.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cristina: To not use the phone.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's. It's, it's ridiculous. Yeah, your phone holds your phone number so you don't have to remember them anymore.

Cristina: No.

Jack: And Google's on your phone. You don't have to learn anything.

Cristina: Because of Google.

Jack: Because of Google, you don't have to learn anything. They just put out an app for like solving kids math problems or some as powered by Google.

Cristina: And it's like, why are you advertising that Google? I mean, I think it's from Google though.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the other problem is like, are they wrong though? Because like, oh, you know, you got to learn how to do this in your head because you're not gonna have a calculator everywhere you go.

Cristina: My Google's like, I'll be your calculator everywhere you go.

Jack: Yeah, I'll be your calculator everywhere you go. Teachers lie, dude. Well, they didn't know. They didn't know. They're like, you never, you're not gonna have a calculator everywhere you go. It's like, no, no. We're gonna have the planets total 100% knowledge. All of it, all the time in my pocket.

Cristina: Yes. So how important is math now? What do teachers say?

Jack: It's the same idea as cursive writing. Who gives a s***?

Cristina: Yeah, that's more like a hobby thing now.

Jack: Like who gives a crap about math anymore? Yeah, your phone does. All of it.

Cristina: Yeah. So what is math class like if you don't need to do any of it?

Jack: I don't need to like show your work. It's like, why, what's it, what? Teachers send us messages? What is your new bullshit excuse for why they need to show the work? What if the power goes out? Then math doesn't matter anymore. Yes, while we have power, your phone will solve it.

Cristina: Yep.

Jack: When the power is out, everybody's gonna go on a dog eat dog murdering spree. And survivors don't need math. They're already the strongest. They're just gonna take the thing. They're not gonna f****** barter or exchange anything.

Cristina: How do you know? Why would it go straight to doggy dog?

Jack: It would go, from today we have power. Five minutes from now, all the power of the earth dies.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: 15 minutes from then. There are raiders outside in full Raider uniforms.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Pillaging and stealing everything.

Cristina: How do they even know? Like was there announcement that they know that the power is not going to come back on?

Jack: Nobody's going to wait that long. They're just like, well, I'm going to go to the next town where the power is at. And then they get there and there's no power. Like, well, I'm going two towns over. I'm going to go to the f****** power plant. Because they need to have power. They're like, oh, power plant is done too.

Cristina: And that's when they decide to raid everything.

Jack: It'd be so good. People at the power plant are going to like f****** start screaming it off rooftops.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then it's just going to create a chain, like a wave of f****** everybody being aware that there's no power.

Cristina: It'S just in that area. Or this is the world.

Jack: Well, it would happen like this. No, it's everywhere. Because in theory we assume that there, there are people at the, the power plants. They're like, oh my God, the power's gone. It's gone forever. And we know because we work at a power plant.

Cristina: Ah. And then once that's all machines.

Jack: Exactly. Like numbers told us or something. And then they run and they jump in a car that's totally 100% gas powered and has no electricity in it. And then they drive straight into city. Oh, the power's gone. We're all gonna die. And then everybody. Oh my God, the guy I know who works at the power showed up in his totally mechanical car.

Cristina: Everyone gonna get. Because how long will it take for everyone to have that information? Since they're not using the computer, they can't find it online.

Jack: That's actually interesting.

Cristina: Now you have to hear it from someone who heard it from someone who heard it from someone. Like how long does it take you to actually find out that?

Jack: A lot of people would just assume it's coming back and they would just assume it's in their area only.

Cristina: Yeah. I wonder how long would pass by when you're like, this isn't normal.

Jack: Yeah. Like this is. I mean obviously the power goes out and you're like, well, something's happening at the power plant for day one.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: They like three, you start kind of like, s***'s weird. And you've already seen. Some people are already acting out just cuz they don't know.

Cristina: But there's some people who do know.

Jack: Some people do know. And we were assuming like reality. Right. Totally real. Most people don't know.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And at the beginning, day one, everybody's fine. Some people are noy. They're outside. There's more people outside. There's nothing to do inside right now. There's more people outside and they're just, you know, being stupid. Some people fight each other, whatever, just because. Nothing better doing. We're all out here at the same time. Day two, there's some people questioning. It's like, what the f*** is going on? Shouldn't this be up by now? Day three is like there was no storm. You're trying to figure out what the f***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And my phone is dead too. I didn't even use my phone. Why isn't that working?

Cristina: And so if someone did tell them, they probably don't trust that information right away.

Jack: Exactly. But day three to day four, you have people who are now starting to get desperate because they, they're having withdrawal symptoms from the Internet. There's a lot of people who would be having withdrawals from the Internet. A lot of people stressing out. Yeah, they're gonna be outside freaking. Not just Internet withdrawal, but TV withdrawal, video game withdrawal. Yeah, A lot of people who need electricity. They need electricity. Are gonna be outside kind of freaking out. You don't even need to know that. It's not coming back yet. Or ever. You don't know. You're still. It'll come back eventually, but some people are just gonna be starting to go off the rails no matter what.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: They don't even know. They're just like, no. F***, this sucks. It's crazy s***. Fights are gonna get more intense every day eventually. Well, there's no cars. Cars that require electricity are just not gonna work anymore.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: I don't know why the power stopped, but those cars are not moving, so what the f***?

Cristina: So then what do they do? Do they starve to death? I guess not.

Jack: No. Because people are gonna. That's when the violence starts.

Cristina: Oh, for the food.

Jack: Yeah. Because food isn't arriving back at the supermarkets. There's no truck delivering anything.

Jack: That truck is also just stationary somewhere.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So now people already bought all they could. They, you know, they adapted. For the first few. Couple of days, people shopped at the supermarket, but now the supermarkets run dry.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: No new deliveries.

Cristina: And people who didn't do food shopping because they thought this was just normal, probably ate like normal.

Jack: Yes. And they're starting to get desperate.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Before long, a weekend. Oh. That's when s*** starts hitting the fan. M************ start going outside and just like. Well, we gotta f******. We gotta survive. We haven't heard anything from the government because we can't.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: We haven't heard anything from anybody. Is f****** rumors out here. The power's never coming back. What's coming back tomorrow. And we've heard it's coming back tomorrow. Every f****** day. We heard it's never coming back. Every f****** day. And people are out there just robbing m************ already. What am I gonna do? I'm just gonna sit here and starve to death? Somebody has food. That supermarket had food when it began. Somebody has food.

Cristina: So you just go robbing every place.

Jack: You can start getting hostile. Survival.

Cristina: Yeah. But you go into every house or something. But then you end up getting hurt probably too. Not you.

Jack: Desperation will send somebody mad. When you start running out of food and start to get hungry, you stop giving a f***.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: You stop giving a f***, and people will start killing each other. It's gonna happen pretty quickly. Under two weeks. Under two weeks without electricity in any form. Everything is destabilized.

Cristina: Whoa. What?

Jack: Yeah, I think under two weeks.

Cristina: How many people you think are gonna die at that time?

Jack: Holy f***. A lot.

Cristina: A lot?

Jack: A lot. In the millions, easily.

Cristina: From just murder or suicide?

Jack: Both.

Cristina: Both. Okay. In the millions.

Jack: In the millions. And I'M not talking like 1 million people two weeks in. No, I'm talking like. Like, what are the Japanese gonna do? What is the f****** Chinese gonna do with no electricity? Oh, bro, there's so many people there, they're just gonna murder each other. Us, oh, we're so spoiled. We need electricity. The west, all the Western countries. Holy f***.

Cristina: How long do you think it takes for someone to eat people?

Jack: When you stop finding food, that's gonna. Cannibalism is real. Within a month. Within a month.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You ran out of food. You stopped keeping track of when was the last time you ate. And you're just thinking you're gonna starve every day.

Cristina: Yeah. You gotta find a house with a garden.

Jack: Yeah. Growing your own food is the only option, but then you totally risk. At risk.

Cristina: At risk.

Jack: Yeah, you're at risk. You can't let anybody know you're growing food.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Anybody enters your yard, you gotta kill them. You can't have them leave and talk about your garden.

Cristina: You kill them and eat them.

Jack: Yeah. You got food. Anybody goes into your garden, Food. Immediately.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You cannot have anybody tell anyone else that you have a garden that you're growing food in.

Cristina: How do you get away with that? I don't know.

Jack: The best option would be a rooftop garden on the highest building so nobody sees you from any other building.

Cristina: Yeah. So you have to already be on.

Jack: A building, you have to already live in a building. And you already have to have the top garden set up to grow plants. And then you could do that effectively.

Cristina: Do you have to live up there too?

Jack: You have to live up there. You could have the last floor saved for yourself. You had no reason to go down because you have food up there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And assuming you can set up a cauldron pretty easily, you could collect water as well. Ooh, rainwater.

Cristina: Rainwater. Yes. Is rainwater also the thing that turns people into werewolves? Is that one of the things I don't remember.

Jack: I have an idea.

Cristina: So we gotta be careful, but I.

Jack: Know a month in, a month in. Cannibal. Cannibalism is real.

Cristina: That is so crazy fast. It's not fast, but it's gonna feel like forever. Yeah, I guess, if you're starving, man.

Jack: Isn't that crazy? We have no other chains of delivering food.

Cristina: No other chain.

Jack: We've turned everything into something that relies on electricity. Yeah, all of it. Everything shows up in trucks. They have a computer that allows that truck to run everything.

Cristina: Every vehicle?

Jack: Every vehicle.

Cristina: We have carts. We can use that.

Jack: Carts?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: What do you mean?

Cristina: Like the shopping carts.

Jack: What are we gonna do? Cross the country in a shopping cart?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's crazy.

Cristina: Tile all the carts together, I guess. I don't know.

Jack: And who's pulling in how?

Cristina: I don't know. I'm assuming a group of people are going to rob some place that has all this food and stuff.

Jack: I'm so confused.

Cristina: Like, where did the shopping. The stores get their products from?

Jack: Okay. Right. But we get. What are we gonna do with it? We just have shopping carts. We're not delivering it anywhere. We're just hoarding the food. People are eating each other no matter what. See Apocalypse. Nobody's f****** going out generously giving out the food that they've taken. No, that's it.

Cristina: That's why it's a group of people doing it, so that they can keep it for themselves.

Jack: Yeah. So there's no food delivery, no supply chain anymore. Supply chain is gone.

Cristina: Eventually there would be one, I would guess, if it's like the Walking Dead, where eventually a city happened.

Jack: I mean, maybe, but we have to rely on people being honest and, you know, wanting to f****** work together. To work together and, like, give some of their stuff to somebody else. In the middle of a nightmare scenario.

Cristina: Yeah. I mean, in the beginning, it's a nightmare, but once there's not that much people left, you kind of want to be with other people.

Jack: Yeah. You find yourself sort of obligated.

Cristina: Yeah. I think you'd probably give it up, your food to share with someone else just to have the company of someone else.

Jack: Yeah. So fascinating. I don't know, man. That's kind of crazy, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You don't even need zombies.

Cristina: Just.

Jack: Just lack of power.

Cristina: Yeah. Whatever happened in the road always wants.

Jack: No, you don't need. That's so excessive. You don't need that much to happen.

Cristina: No, you don't need that much.

Jack: You just remove electricity. That's how dependent we are on just electricity. We're not even talking computers. Like, we're dumb.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which one of us can, like, create something just, like, really practical, not artistic, like, really advance our living conditions? That's actually accented in the Walking Dead with that old lady who has the book of things everybody should probably already know how to do?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But they don't. And so she's smart as f****** having it.

Cristina: That is smart. Yeah.

Jack: Which one of us can build a functional windmill?

Cristina: Get a book for that. No. I feel like it's still gonna be complicated. I don't know.

Jack: Where have you ever seen a book for windmills? How to Build one not what it is. Not an encyclopedia.

Cristina: A book on windmills, I think.

Jack: Like how to build a windmill. Yeah, yeah. That kind of is important.

Cristina: Yeah. Man. That book doesn't exist, does it?

Jack: No. I'm sure somebody will make it. But what are the odds we'll ever see that person in this scenario? Like, we got to be so fortunate for that person to be trying to barter around us.

Cristina: Yeah. Windmill. There must be something easier to make than a windmill. Man. But that's a good idea. If it's like the one in the grand tour. Not the grand tour. The other show with the guy. The guy from the Great Escape. The two guys that made. It's like a windmill. No, it was a watermill. That's what it was.

Jack: Yeah, it was a watermill.

Cristina: Watermill. I wonder if that's easier to make. Probably you still need that water. Like you need that water. But where are you going to find that water?

Jack: But. Well, do you just find a river or something?

Cristina: Yeah, but you gotta live by there. And that's not safe.

Jack: If it's a river. Why wouldn't that be safe?

Cristina: Because you're out in the open. I don't know if someone's coming around the water. But if other people see it, I.

Jack: Mean, it's a river. Are they taking over the whole river?

Cristina: They are seeing. No, they see the windmill from far away. They want to.

Jack: They'll probably get rid of you anywhere you are. You have to. But I see what you mean. Like, it's really unnatural.

Cristina: Yeah. It will be easily spotted.

Jack: Yeah. So you have to make it in the middle of nowhere by a river.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like somewhere nobody would venture if that.

Cristina: Was easy to do.

Jack: Yeah. And the best option would be at a high altitude. So you get the water coming down. Then that pushes the watermill.

Cristina: Man. But I don't think it's possible because what they were using, though was like bamboo, and that's kind of tough to use. That's a nice material. Like, that's not natural in any.

Jack: Or you can find yourself an existing watermill by river and then start structuring things based on the watermill. So you. You gotta assume electricity isn't gonna happen. So the watermill is a giant gear, and you have to make everything mechanical and dependent on the giant gear.

Cristina: Yes, but what kind of things can you make?

Jack: For example, if you need to crush things, the watermill should be connected to a machine that in the turn of the watermill, something comes up and down, crushing something. So now you have just something attached to the other thing that sort of propels the motion of crushing.

Cristina: But would that be loud? Because you don't want the whole attention.

Jack: In the middle of nowhere.

Cristina: Okay. You're in the middle of nowhere, so it doesn't matter.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Or you're at an existing watermill, which is already. The water is pretty loud.

Cristina: Yeah. That's an interesting idea. Yeah.

Jack: You just build things off of the watermill, making sure never to obstruct the watermill because you need its force. But it could mechanically make some things work.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You just have to be very mechanically minded because electricity is no longer a thing that'll function.

Cristina: It's like a lot of people just find those houses that have a bunch of sun. What is that called? The sun?

Jack: Solar panels.

Cristina: Solar panels. The houses that have a bunch of solar panels on their roofs. Because that would help, wouldn't it? Or would their house just stop working because no electricity? No electricity. I don't know.

Jack: I'm assuming in this world nothing electrical works.

Cristina: Even solar. Are solar panels electrical? It's not a lot, though. It is.

Jack: They generate electricity from the sun though.

Cristina: Yeah, but that's not working either.

Jack: Yeah. I don't know why, but no electricity works.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Yeah. So this is a water powered world.

Jack: Yeah. Because back at the beginning, some dude is like, the numbers told him electricity.

Cristina: Is done, but even from the sun, that's just crazy. Okay. But okay, yeah.

Jack: Something about our atmosphere, whatever, is not allowing the conversion of heat to electricity anymore.

Cristina: Yeah. So then the sun. Okay. So then the water. Then we just use water. All right. And then, I don't know, we could use heat.

Jack: Definitely heat. Now, for example, a steam powered ship of some sort. We can still have boats functioning. We can have steam powered cars.

Cristina: Steam powered cars?

Jack: Yeah. We would move into a steampunk kind of society. In order to calm things down, you.

Cristina: Have to be able to make steam powered stuff.

Jack: Some like, people will be out there.

Cristina: If you live on the river though, you can at least depend on fishing maybe.

Jack: Yes. You'll have food and water.

Cristina: Yeah. And if you know how to make traps, you can have like ducks.

Jack: I don't know animals, they hang out by the river. Like deer and crap like that.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: There's food.

Cristina: There is food there.

Jack: You also have to know how to hunt, though.

Cristina: Yes. Not just the traps.

Jack: Hunting as well.

Cristina: Like in the forest?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: The game.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Learning how to get your own food.

Cristina: That's cool. Rabbits are gonna be hard. Deer's gonna be hard.

Jack: Rabbits are pretty easy. If you have cages and crap.

Cristina: Yeah. I feel like fishing is the first.

Jack: Way to go and probably the healthiest too.

Cristina: Mmm. Yes. And if you can grow your own plants, of course.

Jack: And also, all things considered, fishing is one of the easiest ways to go too. If you have a very powerful river, build a sort of net that allows the water through but catches the fish.

Cristina: Yes, that's nice.

Jack: Oh, yeah.

Cristina: Catching fish and eating berries, well, you gotta be careful with that, I guess.

Jack: Also because you're in by water already, the soil will naturally be wet. Closer to the river, if you can find seeds, you can plant things that will start growing that you can eat.

Cristina: Yeah, but when you're really, when you're starving and you just find the place, what are you eating at the beginning?

Jack: Fish for sure. You can make a net out of f****** anything.

Cristina: Yeah, because I'm thinking plants would be easy, but at the same time it wouldn't because you don't know what's poisonous or not. It all looks the same.

Jack: You want to find a. You want to find and clear out a patch by the watermill of plants. And then you're going to plant there the seeds for your new plants. And you're going to try to cover the watermill with foliage by planting a bunch of s*** around it to obscure it more and more. But also you're going to be eating the things you planted. Double winners.

Cristina: But where were they getting the seeds from?

Jack: Well, you already found the watermelon. You just got to remember where it is, which is just follow the river and you'll get there. Make trips to town or whatever, to the nearest place.

Cristina: You don't even have to have good fruits. It could be spoiled fruits if for some reason no one ate any fruits or it's just trash or something like leftover. There should be seeds in them.

Jack: Yeah. Go to. Go to places where you would normally buy seeds and steal them. Most people aren't gonna think about that.

Cristina: Yes, Home Depot.

Jack: Yeah, exactly. People aren't thinking about that s***. They're like, where's the food? And it's like, why don't you plant own food?

Cristina: Yeah, you can find a bunch of helpful stuff there.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: In places like that. Not just seeds, but like a Home.

Jack: Depot is a pretty solid place to close yourself into. And you put all the crap on the roof to grow plants and s***.

Cristina: They also have their own area of plants that you could have. You can take out what you can't eat and just put the seeds in those pots.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cristina: Or they actually have pots and dirt. So you could make it yourself.

Jack: Yeah, but you also want to have water.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And you're gonna die in Home Depot. Oh, and there's no food either. Until the plants provide.

Cristina: You're gonna be eating the garbage that they sell for short.

Jack: They don't have enough.

Cristina: They don't have enough.

Jack: Home Depot doesn't have enough garbage for sale. Oh, okay, so you kind of f*****. Yeah, you do need. But definitely into nature. That's number one. People who are like, I'm gonna go to a hospital. You're gonna die.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: I'm gonna go to a police station.

Cristina: Medical stuff you have at home.

Jack: Well, what you could do is if you really think the s***'s hitting the fan, go and buy a f*** ton of medical supplies in bulk before anything is looted. And then you also go and you buy a s*** ton of candy bars right off the bat. If you really think s***'s about to hit the fan. Stock up on anything that has a. Like, takes long to expire, is really light, is really small, that you can throw into a bag in giant amounts. Candy bars and s***. Like Twinkies. Energy. But you can't eat s*** else when you can't eat s*** else. A Twinkie will make the difference.

Cristina: Twinkies.

Jack: Twinkie. It's fat.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So much fat and sugar. Energy. Ah. So wired that you can it sustain. It'll sustain you for a while. You don't want to eat a Twinkie and have normal food throughout the day at all. You want any food after a Twinkie.

Cristina: That should be your meal.

Jack: That's your meal. Well, if you're starving. Twinkie. Yeah, that'll do a lot. Mad sugar, mad fat.

Cristina: Like nuts are helpful though.

Jack: Yes. You have nuts, you have candy bars, you have granola bars. Anything light that you can throw into a single backpack is your food.

Cristina: And the problem though, with water is how to get enough water. Like if you have a bunch of water, it could be too heavy. Like, how much can you tell?

Jack: You're not taking water. No, you're going to the water.

Cristina: You're going to the water. Okay, but if your first stop is Home Depot, then what?

Jack: You are not stopping at Home Depot in this case, you just bought a bunch of candy bars. Medical supplies that you're gonna do. All the candy bars and other food goes in the book bag.

Cristina: Yes. And the medical supplies. Seeds too, then.

Jack: Yeah. You could go buy seeds. Yeah, that's why you go to Home Depot. Yeah, 100%. You buy a crap ton of seeds. But that's easy because you can have a bag of seeds. It's like a thousand seeds, and it's smaller than a candy bar when their seeds expires.

Cristina: I want to check that out, but doesn't matter.

Jack: You're not gonna be on a crazy mission.

Cristina: Not a crazy mission.

Jack: Yeah. It's not gonna take you 50 years to get to the river. Yeah, he's gonna get to the river.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And, like, assuming you didn't even find the watermill, at least you're by the river.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Now you have moving water. Clean by default.

Cristina: And hopefully fish in there.

Jack: And hopefully fish is the easiest part is the fish, which you can also get, like, a net, a makeshift net at Home Depot.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, you can get that. There's so many random stuff you can get at Home Depot. Home Depot should be something. You should get stuff at a book.

Jack: Bag, pack it with junk food.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That expires in a very long time. Go to Home Depot, and you get some makeshift net equivalent that would let water through, but not fish.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And you go get medical supplies because you're gonna be wandering into the woods or. Yeah. You're looking for a river.

Cristina: How do you clean the water, though? Okay. Like, if you need to drink water now you have no water. How do you drink water from the river? Like, how do you clean it out?

Jack: River water is clean. It's moving.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Still water is what you don't want to drink.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Yeah.

Jack: Still water has bacteria. River water is filtered by where it's.

Cristina: Moving through, so you can just drink that.

Jack: It's not the cleanest in the universe, but, yeah, you can drink the water.

Cristina: You can make it cleaner, though.

Jack: You could boil it if you wanted to. If you wanted to be safer.

Cristina: Yeah, I would do that.

Jack: Which you could still put in your book bag because it won't take any space. You could put a bunch of candy bars in it and around it, and it won't. It's like. Yeah, pot isn't even there.

Cristina: Yeah, I guess.

Jack: So fill it up with junk food, a pot, a makeshift net, which you could have probably also squeezed into that book bag without taking up too much room.

Cristina: Not a torch.

Jack: Lighter.

Cristina: A lighter. That's probably a lighter.

Jack: And lighter fluid.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: A magnifying glass so that you don't have to use your lighter when you have the sun to power fire starting.

Cristina: That's your new technology.

Jack: A bunch. Yeah. And a bunch of seeds. So many seeds.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You need all the seeds and then.

Cristina: To the wheel technology. Do you think that's gonna be a thing you were talking about? Wheel powered city.

Jack: Not wheel powered city, but using the. The power of the moving a watermill to sort of replicate a gear and then connecting things to that. Yeah, you can make things with that. Yeah, for sure.

Cristina: I wonder, like, what a fan. That's nice. But no, yeah, definitely.

Jack: You can cool your home. You can use the motion of it and connect it to a fan inside that's made entirely of, I guess, wood and crap like that. And you just need the one end of it to be connected enough so that it spins. And if you connect wide end to short end, the fan will spin like crazy, thus keeping you cool in the middle of crazy hot day.

Cristina: Yeah. I wonder if that could help you with a hose. If you had to water your plants and you're too lazy and you.

Jack: Yes. But also the point of having the plants planted along the edge of the.

Cristina: Oh, you don't have to water them.

Jack: You don't have to water them because.

Cristina: They'Re always solid, moist.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Oh, that's nice. Yeah. Forgot about that. That's awesome.

Jack: That kind of saves a lot.

Cristina: Yeah. Nice.

Jack: You need things like aloe vera, medical.

Cristina: Yeah. It's probably a lot of poisonous plants around you.

Jack: You got to kill everything that's there by default. And plant berries and cherries, strawberries. You want watermelons, you want avocados. You want just everything. Plant everything. Anything you could get.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Go to the supermarket and buy a bunch of s***.

Cristina: Yes. And eat it. No.

Jack: Well, yeah, actually, all things. All jokes aside, mission should be done by, like three people. Don't go to the woods alone. You and two homies. Because you need to be able to carry the stuff too.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So the three book bags, one of them contains a bunch of different fruits that have seeds.

Cristina: Mm. From the shopping mark. Whatever.

Jack: Then that same bag could contain all the seeds for other things that you. As many different seeds as you can get at like Home Depot or some s***.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: The net is. Well, to catch fish. Like the food bag for creating new food. Then you have the survival bag, which is what. Where all the fast food, the. All the junk food is the junk food and the pan and just all that kind of stuff.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And you're gonna have a person who's gonna have a bunch of different tools in there. It's gonna have a lighter, is gonna have a machete. It's gonna have scissors. I guess I could have the net in there. It could have a knife. You could have just tools. Tools. You got to get creative.

Cristina: Just random tools. You'll figure it out.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. You'll figure it out through necessity.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then in this exchange, you can. Between the three of you, you can also take shifts when you're living there, just in case something's coming.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Somebody's always awake. Three shifts, eight hours each shift.

Cristina: Yeah. I wonder, how would you practice hunt? How would you practice hunting in that type of situation?

Jack: What do you mean?

Cristina: Like when you start wanting more than.

Jack: Just fish, you can start building traps.

Cristina: But for deers, like, bigger meat. Oh.

Jack: That's when you got to learn how to start hunting.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which. That's another thing you got to steal. Take some survival books in one of those book bags. Oh, I know how to make basic things like a bow, Even if it'll take a lot of trial and error.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You just take it with you and figure it out. Hunting traps and crap like that. Any kind of books like that, you go and you rob Barnes and Nobles.

Cristina: Yes. So one friends doing Barnes and Noble. One is Home Depot. One is the shopping place.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Yeah. That's interesting.

Jack: And then you guys meet up when you take off, and then however long it takes you, you already have enough. And I'm assuming you could take two, three bottles of water and have it slowly in case it takes you several days to get to the water.

Cristina: And you have a gun with three bullets.

Jack: Yes, Stealing guns matters. You got to find a place to get guns. That's a hard one, because you got to get into a police station. You got to do a couple of heists.

Cristina: You have to heist.

Jack: Yeah. You got to get into a police station or kill a cop.

Cristina: What?

Jack: And take his gun?

Cristina: Why can't you just own a gun.

Jack: If you don't already own a gun? I know, but you got to get a gun.

Cristina: You got to get a gun. But I guess the gun isn't for shooting animals, though. The gun is just in case someone does find self defense.

Jack: Yeah, because you can't eat any animal you shoot.

Cristina: Yeah. Oh, you can't shoot a deer. I mean, eat a deer after it's been shot.

Jack: Just shoot it in the head, and then you got to chop his head off before the lead gets anywhere else.

Cristina: Oh, okay. That sucks. But yeah, you shouldn't do that anyway, even if it wasn't a problem, because that's more.

Jack: That should be last resort self defense. Yeah. You should make it to the point that eventually could just rest that gun down and use a bow to kill a m*********** if need be.

Cristina: That's gotta be crazy training.

Jack: That's also why machete matters. Like, that's also a close combat weapon.

Cristina: Oh, okay. So you can deal with people that way, too. Yeah. Oh, that sucks. I feel like the gun is easier to do. Deal with someone.

Jack: Yeah. But you're only gonna have so much ammo.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: Machete becomes problematic pretty quickly.

Cristina: Yeah. Hope you never get to that point, because that sucks. I don't know.

Jack: But who knows? Yeah. Hopefully no. So you plant a bunch of crap around your windmill, your water mill, and you connect anything that needs to be mechanically powered, and you make a city.

Cristina: No.

Jack: How do you make a city?

Cristina: I don't know. A tent city.

Jack: There's three people.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: Just live in the house.

Cristina: There's a house by it.

Jack: There's a water mill. There's probably a house.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Just a water mill out in the middle of nowhere.

Cristina: Maybe. I don't know where watermills are hanging out at farms.

Jack: Could be.

Cristina: Maybe that'd be even more interesting. You have more.

Jack: You don't want. You do not want to be on a farm.

Cristina: Aw.

Jack: Because a farm is a place people know about. And it's like anybody who's intelligent enough is probably good enough at farming.

Cristina: Which means there's a water mill in the middle of nowhere. But buy a house in the middle of nowhere.

Jack: Yeah. Because usually there's, like, a purpose being served by that. Maybe the water mill is powering that house. That's a private property.

Cristina: Okay. I guess that's better than the farm. Lame.

Jack: Yeah. Like more people gonna know about a farm. Because a farm probably produces for many.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Than a watermelon. That's probably somebody just kind of secluding themselves to not be known.

Cristina: Mmm. Yes.

Jack: But we're assuming you don't even find a watermill. Right. So you don't even find a watermelon. You get to the river.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You can start building there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Axes and machetes.

Cristina: But you don't need a water mill to survive. Yeah. You don't need a watermill.

Jack: No. Because the river will feed the water to the plants. The sunlight will feed the light to the plants. The plants will grow over time. You already have a bunch of junk food that will hold you over for a while. You've made it to the clean water that you can drink. And if you're paranoid about it, you can boil it and drink that. You're good to live now.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And you'll have fish for more food now that you've made it to the river.

Cristina: But you're probably living in tents, though.

Jack: Yes. For the meantime.

Cristina: For the meantime. You think they'll eventually be able to make houses or like a makeshift house.

Jack: Yeah. I don't know how complicated of a house.

Cristina: Like a box.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. Some basic s***.

Cristina: Yeah. To protect from rain, I guess. I mean the tent should be good, but I don't know if you want more space than that.

Jack: The best plan would be right to try to find a fully mechanical car or something steam powered or something coal powered or heat powered or something like that. That a car that could function without electricity, which was gonna be a hunt. That's a mission and a half. But if you could find something powerful enough to then use it to get a Humvee.

Cristina: A what?

Jack: Like a Winnebago. A mobile home.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: A trailer of some sort.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That you could then drag to where your water is there and then you live in there. Yeah.

Cristina: Oh, that's way better. More roomy.

Jack: But now you got another heist after you've established yourself, which is find the vehicle, find the trailer. And the vehicle needs to be powerful enough to move the trailer. We're talking steam isn't going to cut it.

Cristina: So then what can I cut it?

Jack: I don't know. Coal can power an entire train and a ship.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: So coal is a great. Like that's a lot of heat and that heat.

Cristina: And there's coal powered cars like that Sounds like an impossible mission to.

Jack: I have no clue. That's a really good question. Let's check it out. Okay. So no coal power. No steam powered cars. Steam would be inefficient and we can't find coal powered cars. But that being said, diesel mechanical vehicles would be more efficient and powerful than electric vehicles anyways. So if you can find a fully mechanical diesel vehicle and then use that to pull. Which I guess it would have to be able to pull the trailer. You can get your trailer to your river and have a already built home.

Cristina: Finding a car, I don't know, it feels like a tricky. This is a very tricky.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Mission.

Jack: The trailer is the easy part.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You're probably gonna have to like get the trailer off of somebody because there's probably gonna be people living in a trailer park.

Cristina: No. It's not easy.

Jack: But it's easy finding it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Finding the car is where the problem is.

Cristina: Yes. Finding the car will be the biggest problem.

Jack: Yes. But if you can find a fully mechanical diesel powered car, then you could just steal a trailer home with the car though.

Cristina: I feel like you'd still have to probably steal that from someone. Well. Because someone's gonna be driving that car.

Jack: Yeah. But it's like one person. The problem is finding the car.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's the hard part. Killing a person with the gun you already have is not the hard part. It's the finding a fully mechanical, diesel powered vehicle.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Not easy. It's easier to just shoot somebody and take it. The other thing would be the trailer. The trailer is easy to locate, and in the middle of the night, you can just take.

Cristina: Yeah, I guess. In the middle night. Yeah.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Pretty simple, I guess. Yeah.

Jack: Scope it out and watch until there's nobody there. Just take it.

Cristina: Oh, wait, no. Yeah, you just connect it. Yeah. I'm thinking you have to drive that away too. But no, you're not driving it away. You're just connecting it to your car.

Jack: Yep.

Cristina: That's. That's the plan, I guess.

Jack: Pretty simple.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then you could get that to.

Cristina: Your river and live in that.

Jack: And live in that. Now you have a roof that'll protect you from the rain.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: A river that'll give you water and fish.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You'll also have plants planted in the area which will grow your food over time.

Cristina: Yeah, that's pretty perfect. I don't know what else you're missing.

Jack: That's kind of all the needs you have.

Cristina: Yeah. You got people. So you're not dying of Bordeaux.

Jack: Yep. There's three of you.

Cristina: But you can't use the car after you have it there, even if it has gas. That's probably risky.

Jack: You need that for total emergencies anyways. You don't want to burn through that fuel.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The best option would be if you're desperately hungry. Not hungry, but like, you want something special. Flip side, driving to bookstores. But then again, you could go to bookstores. Walking.

Cristina: Yeah. That's less suspicious. Like, you don't have to worry about people popping out of nowhere trying to take it. Trying to take. Exactly.

Jack: And it makes less noise so you don't attract anything.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Take a bicycle.

Cristina: Take a bike.

Jack: That's another thing you got to do. You got to make sure to steal bikes.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Mountain bikes. So that you can drive them through your woods easily.

Cristina: I guess the car could have the bike. Says it could be the storage for the bikes.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: For the rain and stuff like. That's. That's a good idea.

Jack: Yeah. You could definitely build sort of thing. And actually that's probably how you're gonna get to the river in the first place. You probably began with bikes because that's easy to get.

Cristina: Oh, yeah. So easy.

Jack: Three mountain bikes, three book bags. That means you don't have to waste your energy walking anywhere, and you get there sooner.

Cristina: Mm. But how do you all separate and then meet up at the same place? Or you got there first, then separated to get the things and then came back because you already knew how to get there.

Jack: Yeah. You already know where you're headed. There's a meeting plan, then you take off from there.

Cristina: Yeah, that's a great plan. Yes.

Jack: Survival, man.

Cristina: Except for the murder.

Jack: S*** happens. It's the apocalypse.

Cristina: I know.

Jack: Not gonna f****** do anything.

Cristina: It's just a tough, tough thing to do.

Jack: Take a life.

Cristina: Yeah. It's harder than if it was just zombie life.

Jack: You got to kill people still when it's zombies.

Cristina: What do you mean?

Jack: Probably more so because there's a threat other than just people. So people are gonna be way more hostile.

Cristina: Yes. That still makes it easier, though, to kill those people than the people in this apocalypse. That may not always be hostile, but you're like, oh, I need a thing.

Jack: No, you're not gonna kill them if they're not hostile. You're not just gonna off somebody.

Cristina: Okay. So.

Jack: But in the scenario of getting the car, you're like, well, it's gonna be hard. Well, that means you're putting up a fight.

Cristina: Okay. Yes.

Jack: You're not. Just like, I'm gonna pop your. If you just get out and walk away, I'm gonna leave with your car.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I'm just gonna, like, off you for zero reason. I was assuming there was a problem.

Cristina: Yeah. Okay.

Jack: Just, like, get out. Bah. Too bad for you.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like, no, that's not how it works.

Cristina: Just in case. No, you're in a car.

Jack: What are you gonna do? I'll run you.

Cristina: No, I guess not. What if he has a second car?

Jack: Then you really got to kill him because he has all the things you need.

Cristina: Oh, you don't need two cars, but.

Jack: You can't have two cars.

Cristina: That's true. You could have two cars.

Jack: Yeah, it's pretty good. Because that means you can steal a second trailer from the same place and have even more room.

Cristina: Yes. You need a lot of. We don't. Do you need that much room or.

Jack: Just go to random car parks? Just go to random car parks. Hit one each time. Not car park. Trailer parks.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: One from here. Take it. I hit a different one. So they don't expect you.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Slowly. You just keep taking a couple of trailers. 4, 5, 6. And you could turn them into different things.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: When is your kitchen? One is your living room, and they.

Cristina: All might have supplies in them. That's great.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: As long as no one's staying in them. They could be abandoned ones out there and you could just take those easily.

Jack: And you can also have a d***. Instead of generator creates electricity. So it wouldn't work. Because I'd be like, you have a gas powered generator, but no electricity works. So no you magical. But you can have a food storage trailer where you. Anytime you make a run for food that isn't what you're growing and fishing and hunting, you could bring it there. Bags of chips from looted stores and junk food of all kinds.

Cristina: And just beans. Because it's always beans. Why is it always.

Jack: Because it's in cans. It's takes a long time to expire, I guess. You can have anything in cans that lasts a long time. Get a f*** ton of cans.

Cristina: It's always. That's such a lame meal to just be eating beans. I don't know.

Jack: Because you can have dried beans for a long time. Might as well steal a bunch of those. But you could do that. Like a bunch of dried food that doesn't go bad. And then you can like cook it.

Cristina: If crackers don't go bad, get some crackers. Crackers do go bad. For bread and beans.

Jack: Bread will not. The bread ceases to exist.

Cristina: Yeah. They get old real quick.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Man. Why doesn't crackers last?

Jack: Because crackers are bread. Crackers are bread.

Cristina: I know, but can of bean is so boring.

Jack: But it's food you're not. Who cares about why are you worried about boring or not? It's the apocalypse.

Cristina: Once you have everything, you can get bored.

Jack: Well, it's not just beans. At that point. You just fished.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So you can throw a fish with beans.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Rice also lasts an unfathomably long amount of time. You can have fish, rice and beans. Really leaning on those beans hard. You don't have to.

Cristina: Yeah. How are you gonna get the rice? Isn't rice usually in big.

Jack: You could get small ones. And you have a f****** car.

Cristina: You don't want to use the car too much.

Jack: You also have a bike.

Cristina: Yes. Okay. The bike.

Jack: And you could hang things. If you could find a three wheel bike. You're set.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because it won't tip. You could put bags and crap on it.

Cristina: Oh, okay then. Yes. We need some rice.

Jack: Powerful runs.

Cristina: We have some rice and beans with fish on the side.

Jack: Yeah, you can have.

Cristina: That's life.

Jack: Yeah. You can have that as well as pasta. Pasta lasts a really long time.

Cristina: Oh, okay. That feels like it'll be hard to cook though. With fire. Is It. I don't know.

Jack: That's the way to cook it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You boil water, which you're by a river, so you have infinite amounts of that.

Cristina: Yes. Okay.

Jack: And then you boil the water. When the water is boiling, you pour it on the pasta and let the pasta get soft.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You hunt the animal so you have the meat. Two things you could get to make your life better after you're nice and stable is get a pasta maker.

Cristina: Pasta maker?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Machine that makes pasta. You just turn the thing and mix pasta. So you can have.

Cristina: But that's not from electricity.

Jack: Well, you can have. No, assuming that you. You can manually turn the thing.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: So you can have a pasta maker and the other thing would be. Crap. Was I thinking a pasta maker And a meat grinder.

Cristina: Meat grinder.

Jack: You get a deer, you throw the deer in there, it grinds the meat for you. Now you can make meatballs, you can make burgers.

Cristina: You can do that with any of the meat. That's awesome.

Jack: Spice up your meat life.

Cristina: Have some rabbit burgers or fish burgers.

Jack: Rat burgers.

Cristina: Rap. Oh, you said rat.

Jack: Yeah, but they're in nature. What do you mean ill?

Cristina: Because you're eating all this other stuff. Why would you go to the rats? That's like desperate.

Jack: You want different kinds of meats. Why is it desperate?

Cristina: Because you have fish, rabbits and deer.

Jack: You're just thinking from a citizen point of view.

Cristina: What? What do you mean?

Jack: You're thinking from a privileged position. There's nothing wrong with a rat that eats nothing but healthy.

Cristina: But if you're eating all that other meat, why would you need rat meat?

Jack: Why would you need any meat?

Cristina: Because you need meat.

Jack: Then why would rat meat be not acceptable? What's unacceptable about rat meat?

Cristina: I don't know. It's a rat. Yeah, you're thinking from a citizen's point of view.

Jack: It's a position of privilege. I don't wanna.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Can you use the rabbit is a f****** rat.

Cristina: It's big, though. I don't know.

Jack: You could find rats bigger than rabbits.

Cristina: Oh, can you really?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay. Are you sure it's fine to eat?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: What about raccoons?

Jack: You're cooking it. You're not biting into its raw.

Cristina: Oh, okay. But raccoons. Pretty big.

Jack: Yeah. You can raccoon. You could pretty much eat anything you're going to clean.

Cristina: I guess. I guess it's better than eating people. I guess so.

Jack: Yeah. Which you could still also do.

Cristina: But yes. That's super duper desperate. That's not the first thing you're gonna go on your menu of foods that you have.

Jack: No.

Cristina: You're gonna choose a rat over the person, I would hope.

Jack: Who cares if the person is dead and it's because you killed them? You're not gonna let them go to waste either.

Cristina: No, I can't. No. I feel like you might have abandoned them before you even thought of, hey, I could have taken them to eat.

Jack: Oh yeah. If somebody's around you and you kill them though.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Somebody's at camp and you killed them so that they don't go tell people about your camp. Now you just have meat.

Cristina: Yes. In that case, I guess you eat them.

Jack: Yeah. Normality is out the window.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: I know why you're thinking from living in society point of view.

Cristina: Yeah. But it will feel a bit normal. It feels like you're camping.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: So I don't know. And then you eat a human and then it doesn't feel like you're camping anymore.

Jack: Well, it feels like you're out there surviving. It doesn't feel necessarily normal.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But you sold a couple of trailers. You got your plants growing, you got some fish, you got water.

Cristina: You have so much. You don't need people.

Jack: It's pretty badass.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And you can make regular trips to get board games and card games and books. Entertainment is so important. You can get things to stay in shape. Steel workout things, dumbbells and crap like that. Jump rop open. Just things to stay fit. That also very distracting how you can steal things to.

Cristina: I mean you have trips to stores, right? Yeah.

Jack: You just make trips to stores on your three wheel bike thing.

Cristina: Like say you let one person out and the other two have to stay in camp. Or one person stays in camp while the other two leave. Like there has to be some type of rule. Someone needs to protect the camp while other people.

Jack: I think one person leaving doesn't probably only have one bike with three wheels or two. I guess two people and how do.

Cristina: They wait before one of them go goes check to see if there's something wrong or.

Jack: No, I think, I think two people go. I think two people go. One drives a three wheel bike, the other one drives a normal bike. Then they make runs and they can watch out for each other while so.

Cristina: They'Re at least around each other in the same area and they're looking for things.

Jack: And if something split up, that's how people die.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: You'd have one person like watching the bike outside.

Cristina: Yeah. So if something goes wrong that they could both escape. At the same time.

Jack: And so you get books you want to read and board games. Like Barnes and Nobles is a place to hit repeatedly. You want to steal as much s*** from Barnes and Nobles as possible. MAD Books, notebooks, board games, card games, toys.

Cristina: I don't know why, but there's a bunch of toys.

Jack: I mean, I guess if you're a person who plays a toys, but you can take a bunch of that s***. Sudoku books and puzzle books and just all this kind of s***. You can fill a book bag up with so many different kinds of books.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Put them on your bike.

Cristina: Mmm. Yes. And if anything goes wrong, though. Huh? That's why you have that gun.

Jack: I guess that's why you have the gun.

Cristina: Wonder who's more in danger. It has to be the two guys over. The one that's hanging out at the place that they're staying.

Jack: Yeah, that guy's probably fine.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: If they haven't found you yet. To the point that now you're just gonna worrying about entertainment. Nobody's probably finding you.

Cristina: Yeah. But you still have to be careful. So I think they'll take turns. Right. Of who stays in the camp and who goes out. So you can stay running around and I mean, you'll have workout stuff too.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: But you'll have to.

Jack: And maybe over time, you could bring other people.

Cristina: Find survivalists who aren't dangerous.

Jack: Yeah. People who seem like they're cool. And you bring them over. When you find somebody alone and you can confirm they're alone and not bait, that's.

Cristina: That's a worry.

Jack: Then you bring them back and you're like, you can come live with us.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like, we're consistently making runs. We're doing whatever. We're doing whatever. And you can come live with us.

Cristina: That sounds so tough. Yeah.

Jack: It's hard to trust people. Mm.

Cristina: Yes. Because even if they're alone, they find out where you're at, they just disappear. Who knows how many people are gonna come back.

Jack: Yep.

Cristina: That's a little troubling.

Jack: That's a problem.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: You could have a dummy second location. Bring them there, Bring them there, see what happens.

Cristina: Yes. Just have them living there. I mean, you gotta have to pretend to be living there too, though.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. You could have one person staying there.

Cristina: Yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah. Every time they pass you, they get to live in the town. I guess whatever you're playing, you're living.

Jack: Additionally, you can make the. If you continue to steal trailers over time, those could be the walls. Your village place.

Cristina: Yeah. Your Village.

Jack: You just put them back to back to back. Create a barrier.

Cristina: Yes. That is an awesome idea. Yes, yes, yes.

Jack: Flip side. What if you can somehow get trailer trucks? They don't have wheels on the. If you need trailer trucks. And the ability to remove the trailer and put it onto the ground because nobody, nothing can go under it. It's just a giant box, Steel box.

Cristina: How are you getting it?

Jack: I don't know. I'm saying if you had a way to do that.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That would be the goal. Like, you could definitely build walls that are too high to climb and literally to the bottom. Because you could go under a Winnebago and come out the other side.

Cristina: But it's hard to imagine someone how. Like how that would work out. How it would work out of getting those trailer.

Jack: Yeah. In the middle of nowhere. I don't know how you'd remove them from the back of a truck so that it would be flat.

Cristina: Yeah. Like even if you found them, how. What's the next step?

Jack: I guess tip it off the truck. But how? What can you possibly find that could push it off?

Cristina: If it did, could you even pull it back?

Jack: What do you mean?

Cristina: Like to your location?

Jack: No, you'd bring the truck there. Oh, I see the problem. Yeah. There's no electricity. We can't.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah.

Jack: No, nevermind. There's no way.

Cristina: That's way too heavy.

Jack: The good thing about a trailer, a mobile, like a trailer home, is that it doesn't need electricity. You just connect it. The wheels are gonna move. Yeah, yeah, fair enough, Fair enough.

Cristina: But you should put something under it that's interesting. What if something sneaks under, like snakes? You don't want to worry about snakes. I guess so you should put something under it, I think.

Jack: Under what?

Cristina: The trailer trucks.

Jack: What do you mean worry about snakes?

Cristina: They could go under the trailer trucks and then attack you. I don't know.

Jack: How are they under the trailer truck? How are they gonna attack you?

Cristina: They're gonna sneak past your, I guess, your top, your trucks and attack you.

Jack: Why wouldn't they be able to do that anyways?

Cristina: Why wouldn't they? If you had something covering those spots where they could hide in. Because they're not in your home, whatever your area, the area you live in. I don't know why snakes are there. Snakes are there though.

Jack: There's probably. Snakes could probably just come out of the water. I don't understand what the problem is.

Cristina: To come out of the water. I don't know. It's just horrifying. If a snake Attacks you, I guess.

Jack: Like, I don't see.

Cristina: It's apocalypse work. Snakes are attacking.

Jack: Yeah. It's weird anyways, I guess. Yeah, that's what's gonna be happening there. People gonna. The woods or survival. I don't know how we got here. What led us to this?

Cristina: The electricity magically stopped working. Yes, all of it.

Jack: Because we don't know.

Cristina: We don't know.

Jack: But what led us to the electricity dying? Why was that important?

Cristina: It just was because. I don't know, the snakes were.

Jack: Oh, because we were talking about humanity being whack and reliant on all their technology.

Cristina: I totally forgot that. Yes.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're all f******. Yeah. We would immediately devolve.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: Well, we got really far into how hardcore we would need to survive if electricity died. People go crazy.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: D***.

Cristina: They would.

Jack: They would. That's mad real. That wasn't even, like, kidding. That's exactly what we would need to do if electricity died out.

Cristina: That's our plan and we're sharing it with everyone.

Jack: Yeah, it. Now everybody's gonna be at Rivers Party.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: So anyways, if you guys want to join our river party, make sure to do that. Sign up on some place where there'll be things to sign up on, I guess, and you can find other conversations about, I guess, apocalypses. There's a couple of episodes based on the different scenarios. I think there's one about the more probable apocalypses. There's another one about also building a civilization entirely based off of a potato.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So, yeah, there's a. There's a lot that could be done finding episodes related to this. So you go ahead and look for that and you can find all that stuff on the official website greatthoughts.info or on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and anywhere you get your podcast.

Cristina: And you can reach us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok @justcombopod.

Jack: Yes. And also remember to subscribe, rate, and if you feel so inclined to review the show, that is always, always appreciated.

Cristina: Yes. And let someone who might like this show know about it.

Jack: Yes. Word of mouth is the most important thing in the face of earth. So if you know somebody who would like to listen to this show and needs good survival advice for when the good government disconnects electricity, assuming we're all going to go chaotic and murder one another and they want to go and join our river party, they need to hear this episode.

Cristina: Yes. This has been the Just Conversation podcast. Take nothing personal and thanks for listening.

Jack: Bye. If you do lose it. Then again, those awards are paid off anyways.

Cristina: They're paid off? Yeah.

Jack: Like the people who made the films put their films in the thing and then they bribe the guy and whoever got the best bribe is the one who gets the trophy. Or would have.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And it's like you just pay a bunch of people off and then they say your movie was the greatest. And then people think your movies the greatest. Cuz they said the movie.

Cristina: And then more people want to work with you.

Jack: And people. Yeah, more people want to work with you. More people want to watch your movies. Yeah, because you paid somebody to say they're the greatest.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And then somebody. You paid to give somebody an award for being the best actor in your movie. All of that. You paid for it. It doesn't necessarily need to be true.

Cristina: No.

Jack: But yeah, it's great. Sweet, fantastic. That's how it works. And then people didn't want Netflix to be part of that. I remember that argument.

Cristina: Because they're haters.

Jack: No, because Netflix doesn't pay anybody to do anything. It just submitted its thing.

Cristina: Cuz they're. Yeah, they're. They're the indie of movies.

Jack: Yeah. And they're s******* on all the other people.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And winning. Winning. They're winning hard. Other places have to go put their movies on Netflix now. That's how bad it's getting. Do you want to make a movie and you didn't put it on Netflix? Good luck getting it seen.

Cristina: Does that mean there's not gonna be any awards? Because the whole deal was like, they can't come, they can't join because they don't put their stuff in movie theaters. But right now, what's being in movie theaters? So what's gonna be winning? Anything.

Jack: Netflix wins anyways.

Cristina: Yeah, it has to be. Good morning. Good morning. The Just Conversation podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by Great Thoughts.info art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth McCallister with social media managed by Amber Black.
