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

Jack: Going live in five, four.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Cristina: I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. And today we have some interesting things to learn look into. But first, as of late, we've been catching people up because of our jumping around. Anybody who is used to us following a giant cohesive narrative that we've been following for like two years isn't used to the old way. We were doing things of just casually picking things that kind of sort of related to this bigger theme that we didn't know existed. But we were just hunting monsters and figuring out what was going on. Except after a long enough deep dive into what we thought was an unrelated series of things that began with a creature, the unicorn, slowly spiraled into. Every creature seems to be related to this thing one way or another.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And initially we thought a lot of it had to do with the Elysians. When we started looking into the Elysians, but before then, we knew things about the shadow realm and many creatures who were in there. So we were hunting things like that. But before we knew about the shadow Realm, we were also just hunting creatures, trying to find out what the f*** these things are. We thought some of them are aliens. We thought some of them were interdimensional things. And weirdly enough, both of those things are kind of the same.

Cristina: Yeah, I guess so. Yeah.

Jack: You know, we knew this Chupacara was like a God like thing. And we thought it came from space looking for things. But no, it did come from elsewhere. But the elsewhere wasn't space. The elsewhere was a different realm.

Cristina: I don't know if you know anything that actually has come from space.

Jack: No, we know things that have gone out into space.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But it seems that everything we thought came from space we have proven with texts that mentioned it before we even looked up. And it's like, okay, okay, you guys knew about all these things ahead of time. So I was in trying to dig deeper into the Clinton Road thing that we've been looking at. We hit some walls because we gotta find things for this. We gotta figure out what's happening in the bottom of the castle. It's been sealed off. It clearly has a way in and out in a location that is undisclosed to the public because it's been kept absolutely secret with, you know, official reasons or whatnot.

Cristina: Whatnot.

Jack: But the castle it was on was Destroyed. So the entrance there is gone and the exit have been blocked and built around, so we don't know where they exist in the five towns that they're spread into. And then somewhere in this giant property, there could be a random manhole cover that's covered by leaves and happens to be in the woods. And that's the only way in or out of this f******. Like, who the h*** knows?

Cristina: It just sounds so suspicious. It just sounds like that lady with the house that makes it into a puzzle that ends up being a portal for ghosts and whatever.

Jack: Except she wasn't trying to hide anything that was just out there. So why were these people trying to hide it? What is the difference? And this is more recent than the house, too, so what is the point? And, like, I've tried to look. Like I said, the hardest thing about this was gonna be the castle. So we visited the castle.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But all it did was lead us to walls. So because we hit these walls and there's nowhere else to go. Look elsewhere. Maybe we'll get informed.

Cristina: Right, okay.

Jack: So we've gotten informed in the past just by looking at other places. We found the Elysians, and that informed a bunch of s***. We found the Shadow Realm. That informed a bunch of s***. Things that we thought were unrelated. So as I'm looking through random crap, looking through old notes, I come across as, you know, the fact that Zeus was kind of pretty successful at creating Nahaz.

Cristina: Okay, yeah.

Jack: Not Naha's Naga. Nahaz was a specific. Naga is the one from the Garden of Eden's research team. Nahaz is the one we call the Serpent. But so we know that he successfully made a Naga, and we know that he got his Naga to successfully make some that worked and some that didn't, like Medusai and her sisters and crap like that.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Yes, okay. But still have kind of OP abilities that are kind of sort of fairy like. And in looking at that, it came to my mind that, wait, this is the first instance of more than one, more than two, Many, Several. And so I'm like, okay, if you figured it out, you didn't also just stop. Those just happened to be the main narratives, right? The ones that are important because you figured it out, you want to be able to replicate it, and holy s***. That I immediately find something. I was like, there must be more. Just logically speaking, if nobody else could figure it out, the guy who did is probably going to mass produce them. That's the advantage right there.

Cristina: You're OP now he has a Naga army.

Jack: He Would have to. Right. He would have to build. I mean, not a Naga army, but he would have to make multiple. Logically speaking. And I stumble upon a thing called Lamia. L A M I A Lamia. And Lamia is described as a half woman, half serpent. But Lamia is not Medusa or the other Groguns. And Lamia is not Glycon. And Lamia is none of these things.

Cristina: She's from the same area.

Jack: She's Greek.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: She's Greek, specifically related to Zeus. Oh, weird. So I was like, okay, this is odd. But like, we can easily find it now because. Yeah, you had more than one and you instructed something to make it. Just because we only stumbled upon the three and didn't dig deeper, doesn't there isn't more? Yes, but there's definitely more. She's not even the only one I found.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But she's the most interesting one I found. So, as we said, she was originally mentioned in Greek mythology. And very specifically, the same thing that shows up again is half woman, half serpent. Half woman, half serpent. Very, very directly. It seems like Zeus wants Kido to continue making things that are half and half, not fully one. Or Kido is obsessed with not actually succeeding and going halfway because he wants to be the powerful one.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I don't know the point of why they're always half and half. If a Naga is not. Anaga is not. Yeah, Anaga is a full fairy serpent.

Cristina: Serpent thing.

Jack: Yeah, absolutely. 100% a serpent.

Cristina: For some reason, he only makes halves and halves.

Jack: All of them are. Now they're really overpowered to the point that they are more OP than a bunch of the s***. Alicians didn't like some of this crap because of how OP it is. Meaning they felt, you know, some of these things were a problem to some degree, but they weren't. Naga, is it because it's impossible to actually go all the way? But no, because we know of people who've accomplished it.

Cristina: Yeah. So did they do it on purpose? And what was the purpose?

Jack: What is ultimately the purpose? So I dive into the story to just what do the Greek have to say about this? What is the main narrative about Lamia? So here we go. First of all, Lamia was the queen of Libya according to the Greeks.

Cristina: What?

Jack: She was the queen of Libya. Okay, but weird that the queen of Libya is a half serpent, half a woman. But whatever. The Greek had weird stories to tell.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You know, everything was odd. Now, where this became really interesting to me is the fact that she was in love and loved by Zeus.

Cristina: Okay, yeah. Well, she always have snakes, though. Is that part of her story? Okay.

Jack: She's always been.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Always been half serpent. And Zeus is into serpents, I guess.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And upon finding out that Zeus was having an affair with her, Hera becomes jealous and curses Lamia to lose her children.

Cristina: Oh, hush. Okay.

Jack: And transforms her into a monster who would devour the children of others.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. Whoa.

Jack: Hardcore.

Cristina: Hardcore.

Jack: So let's unpack this for a bit. Zeus loves a half serpent lady, but I guess he's a God and he f**** random s***. Like, whatever, dude, you're God. What is a human to you? You're a God.

Cristina: He's with someone who is not cool with.

Jack: He's someone who's not cool with that. But he's always cheating on her. All his children are from different women. And he has, like, 100.

Cristina: Yes. But does she get her revenge like this to every single lady?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Like, how does.

Jack: Hera is. Hera is known as a total b****.

Cristina: He's also a monster. That's okay. With the reaction. Her reaction. Whatever he does. Because he's not getting hurt. It's just the people he's with getting hurt, and he's not feeling that well.

Jack: The logic goes as follows. He loves one person deeply, and that's Hera. He loves other people. Not deeply. He loves to love. It's the idea of, you can truly be in love with one person and love many other people who you're not in love with. Yeah, you want to be romantic, and, yeah, you want to f*** and you want to have. But there's one person who you are committed to.

Cristina: But do you not feel bad for these people that are suffering?

Jack: Well, they know they are also involved. They are not an uninformed party.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: In all of these cases, they are the informed party. Everybody's informed.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Zeus is not a liar.

Cristina: There's a chance that you'll die or you'll have to kill your loved ones to be with me. That's. That's tough.

Jack: No, I'm sure all of these God women are like, I could take. Oh, I guarantee you, every single one of them. The gods are full of themselves.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Every single one is like, I could take her. It's not a problem. But Zeus has always been committed to Hera. And he's like, I'm not gonna say to my wife, she said, you banned, so you banned.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But Hera is fine until she's not.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like, she knows. And then I guess she just doesn't want to see it ultimately just like, don't bring it around me. Don't bring it around me. You come home to me and you don't bring any of them b****** around me. And when she sees them b******, them b****** gotta die or become other s*** or whatever the f*** she does.

Cristina: Just live a miserable, miserable life.

Jack: Yes. But to his defense, he 100% seems absolutely committed to Hera, because that's who he doesn't violate. She's like, I gotta kill this person. He's like, s***, I guess you gotta kill this b****. And it's like, d***, bro. Okay, you at least committed, okay? And like, I respect that. I respect the guy who can stay committed. And realistically, yeah, you love other people. Realistically, but you're not going to betray who you're in love with, which is Hera. Great important detail because of where this is going to go.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: That was. That was not without purpose. That rant was absolutely within reason. All right, so, yeah, Hera kind of notorious for tossing people into weird situations, killing them, turning into other s***, ranking them, sending them into other f****** planes of existence.

Cristina: Do you know what kind of monster she turned her into? Like, what does she look like?

Jack: He. She made her existing form feral. She was a woman, and now that woman became a monster based on that woman. Oh, so it's just she became a feral monster. She was still a woman snake thing, but now she was a snake woman. She wasn't before she was a woman snake. Now she's a snake woman, if that makes sense.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And like, yes, that's the priority right there. She's like, okay, now you're primarily the serpent. Enjoy killing all the children you would love.

Cristina: Harsh. Okay?

Jack: Hardcore.

Cristina: Hardcore.

Jack: But if she knew, then she opted into the possibility. That's more on her for thinking she could step into number one spot. And it's like, we all know where Zeus stands, and it's by Hera.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: There's not a soul who's ever questioned if Zeus is going to turn on her. He's not going to. Why would he? Which means you opted into the situation to some degree. You weren't aware of what extent or what move. But you know, if you get busted, you. You f*****. And so you did, and I f*****. Okay, now let's break apart her appearance a little. Described as having the upper body of a beautiful woman and the lower body of a serpent. Right, let's dive into a little more detail. One thing that I found, which, again, as I say it, the image as I keep Moving forward, the image is going to build itself. She has the ability to shapeshift.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And that's an important little detail right.

Cristina: There because that's always involved.

Jack: That's a clever little tidbit. Oftentimes into either a pure woman or a pure serpent. Those seem to be her main go to. She can shapeshift into other things. But when she's in her pure woman form, after her interactions with Hera, she lures men in this woman form, and usually men with children, intentionally trying to get to the children and eat them.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. Okay.

Jack: And when she's in a pure serpent form, she uses that to blend into nature where there would already be children.

Cristina: She's actually. Oh, my gosh. That's horrifying.

Jack: Yeah. She became. It's not just like, you're gonna be a thing. And it's like, yeah, I'm gonna go live my life as the same s***. I am just waiting. No. Hera f***** this lady.

Cristina: Now she hungers for children.

Jack: Now she hungers for children.

Cristina: Oh. Oh.

Jack: Weird, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Lamia, the lady who will eat children. But again, there's some patterns that are forming. I don't know if you're spotting them as I'm going through this. Shapeshifters, children.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Let's dive into some of these behaviors. They are going to paint even stronger image. She usually appears at night. Succubus behavior right off the bat. And the fact that you're luring men. Odd.

Cristina: Odd.

Jack: Luring men at night.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Sounds like a succubus. As far as I know.

Cristina: Yes. Yeah.

Jack: Which is already a shadow realm creature. So luring men at night and using the darkness to confuse and more easily abduct. Very, very succubus. The only difference is succubus are kind of mermaid, like always by water and s***. It's most likely a succubus is a mermaid and a mermaid is a succubus. Maybe different variations of the same thing. And by the end of this episode, if we remember, we could address that because it's gonna make sense why we would have to compare those things if we remember to.

Cristina: Okay, so you saying she didn't like magically turn her into a feral being. Now she is like the feral version of whatever creature she was. Like adrenochrome. Maybe she was given adrenochrome and killed and now she's after that or something like.

Jack: It's complicated. No, she was definitely a serpent woman.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: There are serpent women? Yes, according to the Greek myths.

Cristina: But now she's a feral serpent.

Jack: Yes. But I don't think she was the non feral version of something that's inherently feral.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I think there are just, according to the Greek myths, serpent people.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Who are just normal people. And then there's weird other anomalies like the Gorgons and s*** like that. Or the Grogans. It's either Grogan or Gorgon. I don't f****** know. Medusa and her sisters and Keto, things like that. So those are weird artificial violent things. While Lamia didn't seem to be. It was just more of a literal person who happens to be of a specific race, maybe or something. It's not entirely clear. Yeah, there's actually very little information on this. This was a particularly difficult find, which is what made it more interesting because of the paths I had to take to get here. That informed quite a bit. But yeah, it looks like she was not some kind of weird thing. She was turned feral.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And there isn't a thing like that. As far as we know, that is specifically her kind of a creature that was a person. Or that she's the non feral version of something specific or race or something. It looks like she's just part of a race of people who happen to be. I don't know where the f*** the rest of her people are. There's no mention to that. Maybe you just made the weird serpent lady queen because she doesn't look like the rest of you. I don't really know the logic behind it.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But she was just a normal person other than her half serpent part. Now, when in her serpent form, she is known for consuming the children. When in her woman form, she is known for luring men. And when they don't have children, she kills the man.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Then there is little detail about what happens to the man that might inform what happens to the children. Because it's always described as eating. But when in her woman form, she is known for luring men. And when they don't have children, she kills the man and drinks her blood.

Cristina: Of course.

Jack: Of course. Very specific behavior. Now we gotta address how Hera accomplished this. Exactly.

Cristina: That's what I'm wondering. She turned her into.

Jack: Well, that's the end of the story. According to the the narrative of the Greek myth that is most promoted based on this.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: There's no more information right after that. That's where it ends. These are the events that took place. So what the h*** did Hera do?

Cristina: She turned her into. I don't know, a shadow realm creature.

Jack: Somehow How? The. She obviously drowned her in adrenochrome or some s***. Force fed her some s***. But how had she know? I mean, they're always f****** around with adrenochrome. But Hera knows.

Cristina: Why not?

Jack: Why would she?

Cristina: I don't know, but it depends. Like, what happens to these other women that she tortured?

Jack: Nothing like this.

Cristina: Nothing like this.

Jack: No, I would have. I would have talked about it. Obviously. Okay, so no, this is the case.

Cristina: This is the one case that happens.

Jack: At least this way. Yes, I looked at the other women. No, this is the one.

Cristina: Interesting.

Jack: So what the f*** happened? So she finds the lady and then what? You force fed her a dream? Where the f*** did you get a dr? How do you know adrenochrome was a thing? Even if you heard him talk about adrenochrome, how do you know specifically how to get it, how to make it? Hera knows a little something.

Cristina: Has to know something. Part of the team.

Jack: One of the gods, you would think, right? Yeah, but then who's on her side? Everybody's on Zeus side. Yeah, and Zeus sides with Hera. But Zeus isn't gonna tell his homies. Go, obey Hera. No, in fact, his homies tend to not like Hera a lot.

Cristina: Yeah. So she was snooping around somebody.

Jack: They would have caught her. Bro, we're talking about the most secure facilities in existence.

Cristina: There's no way she just stumbles upon this either.

Jack: Exactly the problem. There's also no way she entered these facilities. There's no way. Not in a billion trillion years. Considering specifically who she is and how she's known to behave, doubtful they would have let her anywhere near one of their labs. 100 guarantee you she didn't end it. I looked just to confirm the fact. Like, did she? There's no narrative that talks about her entering spaces relative to this. If there is, she was so f****** sneaky that nothing was registered ever. And we're talking about quite advanced facilities. She would have been busted.

Cristina: But how did she do this?

Jack: Then it has to be outside of the facility.

Cristina: How?

Jack: How did she accomplish turning Lamia into a feral person?

Cristina: How do you think?

Jack: Well, I don't know my conclusion, my thought is that perhaps she caught her and force fed it to her. But then the question is, how did she acquire? How would Hera stumble upon adrenochrome? What paths could she take? Who do we know that she could have been in contact with? There's so little about this interaction.

Cristina: And anyone she knows because we don't know anyone that talks about that's involved in adrenochrome.

Jack: We know many who are involved in adrenochrome. What do you mean?

Cristina: But, like, in the Greek gods. Any of them.

Jack: All of them have touched it one way or another. They literally discovered ambrosia. They have ichor in their position. And they have nectar, which a bunch of them consume specifically because they couldn't figure out how to do it without it, the way that the Elysians did with the stones and other methods. Okay, so they definitely had access to it. But why would she? And how would she.

Cristina: But why wouldn't she? Like she's one of them.

Jack: No, she's not.

Cristina: She's not.

Jack: She's the wife of Zeus. But she's not a scientist. She's just the wife of Zeus. And a particularly wild gun that they're not gonna let into their facilities, destroy all their s***.

Cristina: Mm. She knows enough. I don't know. It doesn't. It feels weird that she would just know how to do this.

Jack: We're missing the middle part, where somehow she did, in fact, acquire adrenochrome and then force fed it to this lady or something. What we know is that she knows Zeus.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And that this lady became some feral thing. And everything in the middle described is obviously adrenochrome related, but we also know she had no interaction with any other scientists in the facility, and that none of them like her.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And there's no mention. Not one. Which it would have. We found threads of the randomest s***. Not one mention of her hanging out or associating with any of these things.

Cristina: But she knows, Deuce. And he knows the information.

Jack: Yes. He's also not going to tell the lady, who is constantly having mood swings and having weird power moments.

Cristina: He doesn't have, like, the work at home.

Jack: And I assure you he doesn't, considering that it's the same work that the Elysians would like to confiscate. You're going to keep it in the most secure place, away from where they can easily come and take it from you. They're kind of op. You're going to take your work home, knowing how this s*** could just go down. Yeah, and they never did. Which means you didn't take the work home. Or you did take it home, and for whatever reason, they were just like, oh, let it go. And then this lady's op, that doesn't work out.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: They're too thorough. Deletions are mechanically thorough. It's computers at this point.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So he never took the work home. She Never entered the lab. His workers don't like her. And she still managed to turn the lady into obviously speaking an adrenochrome rampant creature. Who needs more adrenochrome.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Weird. And I don't know. So we know Hera has banished many women different ways. Never this way. And she is again hated by everybody. Nobody sides with her. They all side with Zeus. Although Zeus is a ruthless maniac himself. The loyalty or fear, one or the other. But then Hera behaves this way. It's definitely not the fear. Loyalty. They must just like him more. Yeah, but then again he is creating these. He kind of just successful at doing some s***. It's impressive. So successful. For many years we thought he was just some background noise that was being ignored by the Alicia. And then we found out he was one of the few to accomplish some of these really complicated things that the rest of them failed at. Like creating successful Naga. Even if it took a bunch of s***** experiments to get there.

Cristina: But she's one of them. No, she. She wasn't made at all.

Jack: No, she was just already a person who existed like that. Yeah.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: There must be a race. There's other serpent people who are not anything weird.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Greek mythology is packed with serpent people.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Some made like the Grogans. And some who were just born that way. Like Keto.

Cristina: But I don't know.

Jack: Yeah, neither do I. Interesting though, the fact that she had the ability to do this.

Cristina: Yes. Without any help. As far as anyone can tell, without.

Jack: Any help they have their kingdom. And she managed to get a hold of Lamia and somehow force feed Lamia or Tricker or something. And she then becomes this feral creature.

Cristina: That's ridiculous. I don't know. It feels like she needed help. But who would help her?

Jack: Okay, so then I will continue forward since trying to figure it out is a pointless endeavor. Now we've done appearance, we've done behavior. Now here's where we get into the weeds of the situation. We have to deep dive into the hard explain many different texts, primarily focusing on Homer and Apollonius. But there are six or seven different versions of different texts that are going to inform the story. There's a lot of cross referencing that piece this together. But again we're focusing on the texts from Homer and Apollonius. Although there are some details from other individuals here. Now we find the story plays out a little differently when we do look at their references. And the story begins with a lady called Khalees. So Khalees is the name of a woman with which Zeus was having an affair.

Cristina: Crazy.

Jack: One of the many. And is discovered by Hera. Now, very important to point out that in the Greek myth that is popular, Hera always knows that is explicitly mentioned. It's also explicitly mentioned in Apollonius's writing that she didn't know and she discovered Khalees.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: Hence the anger in the first place.

Cristina: That makes changes.

Jack: Cheating on me, you piece of s***. Blah, blah, blah. What the f***? Imma smack that b**** up. You know, Instead of being angry at Zeus, you cheating piece of s***, now I'm gonna smack that b**** up. Khalees probably didn't even f****** know. Then again, he's Zeus. Khalees probably knew. Yeah, he probably knows. You know who Hera is. Come on, bro.

Cristina: Yes. Okay.

Jack: They're the rulers. You knew he was sneaking around. You had it coming.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Now details that matter without Zeus being aware. During Khaleesa's final visit, Hera uses Zeus guards and has Khalees royal guards killed. Then tosses Khalees alive into a snake pit to die.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Hmm?

Cristina: They just have a snake pit.

Jack: It's ancient Greece.

Cristina: I know. This is so crazy.

Jack: The snake pit consists of hundreds of snakes no larger than a human arm, according to Homer's texts. No, Hugh. Because my initial thought is you're gonna fuse with a f****** snake or something. I don't f****** know. Yeah, it's ancient Greek mythology because this girl Khalees is not a serpent woman. Let me point that out. Apollonius says beautiful woman, pointing out that she has walked a long time because her legs were visibly muscular.

Cristina: She's human, pure human.

Jack: Khalees was pure human, while Lamia was not. Lamia is bottom half serpent. But Apollonius doesn't agree with this narrative. Apollonia says, no, that was a woman. He was having an affair with a normal human woman probably.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And thus makes more sense that she was the queen of a civilization of normal human people.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And definitely there's no such thing as normal born f****** earthling.

Cristina: Are you talking about the same person?

Jack: Yes, this is the same story. Oh, this is them all talking about the same.

Cristina: One of them that we already talked. Yes.

Jack: The Greek myth and everything I'm telling you right now is their take on the same Greek myth.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: This is Homer, Apollonius and a few others talking about this very same story.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Which puts Khalees, the queen of Libya, as just a human.

Cristina: Okay. Which makes more sense. All right.

Jack: Just a human lady called Khalees. And she had very muscular legs because she. Not muscular, but she had toned legs. Because she walked a very long time. She loved walking. And she had royal guards who Hera had her royal guards disposed of on.

Cristina: Her visit and then murdered her.

Jack: Threw her in a snake pit.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: To die. Didn't say she murdered her. She threw her in a snake pit to die, which presumably she died there, but that doesn't mean she murdered her. Snakes would have.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: She definitely left her to die, though. And again, the snake pit consisted of small snakes for the most part. No snake is eating her whole. That would be impossible. To the length of an arm. You can't eat her. Okay, so interesting little details.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The pit was explicitly designed to starve people to death if the snakes don't squeeze them to death. Lovely ancient torture device. Lovely ancient torture device. The important part comes now. We shift our view now entirely to Homer because Homer had some interesting tidbits that didn't make it to any other body, anybody else's story, and didn't even focus on the family. It focused on a random guard.

Jack: Let us unpack. With the upper body of Khalees and the lower body of a serpent. A guard sees Khalees flee into the forest during the night.

Cristina: What did he see?

Jack: The guard sees the upper body of Khalees and the lower body of a serpent flee into the woods.

Cristina: Okay, so she somehow transformed in the snake pit.

Jack: But how?

Cristina: How? Yes, how? That's very strange. That's his part of the story.

Jack: That's his contribution. He gave us this tidbit that nobody else mentioned, but allows us a little more information than just somehow. A civilization of humans put a serpent woman in charge of them fearlessly. No, it makes more sense to put a Greek God. They look like humans who are just real op and huge.

Cristina: Yes. But he's trying to explain how she looks.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: I don't know. That's weird.

Jack: Got muddy quick, right?

Cristina: Yeah. Unless that wasn't like a normal snake pit.

Jack: It was absolutely a normal snake pit.

Cristina: Well, how would she walk away like that?

Jack: I don't know. She gets tossed in the pit. And then a few days later, a guard doing his rounds sees her upper body somehow bottom half. Serpents now fleeing the pit into the woods, into the forest, casually.

Cristina: She somehow transformed in the snake pit.

Jack: She somehow transformed in the snake pit? Yes. At least it seems that way.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Weird.

Cristina: That is weird.

Jack: Very, very strange. So what do we believe happened here then?

Cristina: I don't. It wasn't a normal snake pit. Do you think it was a normal snake pit?

Jack: It was. I'll tell you what. The next line in his story. His correction of the story tells us, which will enlighten a little more. The next morning, after the guard reports what happened, they visit the pit and find Khaleesa's body still in the pit.

Cristina: So it was involved Shadow Realm.

Jack: It did not.

Cristina: It's a shadow Realm creature of her. But her dead body's there. So he did not see her dead body. No, but it was her. Is her adrenochrome version? I don't know.

Jack: Her body is still in there.

Cristina: Her body's still there.

Jack: She is f****** dead.

Cristina: Yes. But there's something out there.

Jack: Yes, for sure. There definitely is. A woman gets tossed into a snake pit where she fears for her death. The snake pit is filled with snakes who are going to attempt to eat the woman as she fears.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: For her life.

Cristina: Yes. This is adrenal chrome related. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. And a serpent woman gets seen leaving. And all Adrenochrome creatures seem to have the ability to shape shift.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So a serpent got adrenochrome and turned into saw. The only thing there that wasn't a serpent. Its intellect, as we know with adrenochrome, tends to skyrocket as long as you continue consuming it. And you have quite an amount here that's just persistently there. And so you kill her while she's screaming and panicking and she's being choked out in just fear in the most horrific of ways. And then this serpent or multiple. Who the h*** knows at this point? But at least one.

Cristina: At least one. Yeah.

Jack: Turns out into an adrenochrome creature. A hundred percent. Just fully converts.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Then turns like, tries to imitate what she was, what she looks like. But again, it's fresh. It doesn't know what the f*** it's doing. It's just newly. A creature has to discover its abilities, has to figure out how it works and all these things. So it managed half of a transformation that kind of sort of looked like her.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And then the pit is deep. Somehow still managed to get the f*** out of there. Like Adrenochrome creatures, you're thinking outside the box. You figured it out.

Cristina: But it's a feral Adrenochrome creature.

Jack: Why is it feral?

Cristina: Because it's eating children and stuff.

Jack: Eventually it will.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But actually, we haven't even gotten to any part in which this correction story even mentions anything like that.

Cristina: Oh, okay. I'm gonna guess that that's part of it.

Jack: That's. Yes, that's literally us using the parts we have to figure it out. Which is the logical conclusion, you got adrenochrome, but you didn't know you had to continue getting adrenochrome.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So you became feral, and you go out and once in a while you get adrenochrome without knowing you should keep getting adrenochromes. Now you're just a feral thing, casually killing s*** like a wet judge. Except the wet judge is on the other side. You've not died. You're a physical thing who just persistently exists.

Cristina: Yes. I forget that creatures here can do that, though. I always think it's like you have to die and then.

Jack: Yes, I know. Like I said, I'm present and remember the things.

Cristina: There's a lot of information to remember.

Jack: Oh, yeah. And I connect all of it, as would happen. But, yeah, that seems to be the case. This is all from Homer. This last part started, which makes sense days later. Yeah. So the creature with the upper body of Khalees and the lower body of a serpent is seen leaving into the forest in the night. While the guards making his rounds, he goes and he tells Hera and Zeus and the guards and everybody else like, this is what I saw. And then the next morning, they come and they see Khaleesa still there. Bro, like, you're out of your f****** mind.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You're seeing s***. That's impossible. Okay, she's still there, but there was something that fled into the woods.

Cristina: Yeah. That looked like a half lady, half snake.

Jack: Half lady, half snake. Interesting, though.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Which then corrects the story of Lamia, because there's no such thing as a woman named Lamia. There's a creature named Lamia.

Cristina: And that's not his whole story, though. Homer's version.

Jack: That's the whole addition. The rest of it kind of falls in line with what was already discussed. That's his final input that didn't exist previously. Okay, so he finishes off fleshing out this narrative. Now, the name Khalees barely shows up anywhere. These two texts are the two of the only mentions with the addition of a couple of other texts. They don't mention her name. They mention the same story from different points and a little couple of details, but the name literally shows up and refers to the events of Lamia, but without mentioning Lamia, they mention specifically Khalees. And Khalees is not a serpent person, but in the Greek myth, the Lamia is a serpent person.

Cristina: Okay, so after her transformation, she. She's known as Lamia, but before her transformation, she's just a lady named.

Jack: And the narrative we get from the Greek is completely afterwards, but a merge of the events before.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So it looks like he was with a serpent woman, but where the were the serpent women born? What the.

Cristina: Yeah. So it was just a woman. He was just with some lady and horrible things happened to her. Because that's what happens when you're with him.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: Yes. Yes, yes.

Cristina: That's crazy. That's an actual story of a not.

Jack: Non accidental adrenochrome situation.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Somebody gets tossed into a pit, fears for their life, happens to be with the thing that's gonna kill them. The thing is, it's very similar to the warwolves.

Cristina: Yeah. Like, we have stories like that, but there is usually in the wild happening. It's not around.

Jack: Yeah. Rarely is it like, again, the werewolves is a weird one.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's literally starved wolves because war scared all the other creatures away. And these guys are just dying, starved. And there's bodies everywhere. You eat what you can, bro, but fresh bodies from war.

Cristina: Oh, half dead, already scared out of their minds.

Jack: Some still alive and screaming because they got crap blown off and s***. Just cut and like, holy f***.

Cristina: Making werewolves.

Jack: Making werewolves. Oh, and this is very similar to that.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You got a snake pit, which means really, really, really. Ultimately, if you look at the amount of serpent creatures that come out of India and the amount of serpent creatures that come out of Greece, the people who invented the f****** snake pits, suddenly the picture builds clearly. You're tossing people into snake pits casually as a prison sentence, as a death sentence.

Cristina: They probably have many stories of these human.

Jack: Maybe not. Maybe not many creatures stories, but. Oh, yeah, yeah. Not stories about pushing the people into thinking them turning, but definitely many, many, many, many serpent, human creatures.

Cristina: Yes, yes, yes, yes. Because I'm pretty sure they have the ones like the flying snake thing, that's just a witch who turns into a flying snake or whatever.

Jack: And it's like sketchy. No, there's something wrong going on here, buddy.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: But you see how interesting.

Cristina: Yes, I see. It makes sense, though.

Jack: Yeah, that is definitely it. At least it seems to be the case on how the events unrolled were like that.

Cristina: It makes way more sense than the original.

Jack: Yeah, for sure. The original is just a myth.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's why we can't take the myths at face value because they're usually bullshit. It's a bunch of warped, twisted stories trying to attach morality or some s***. It's like people aren't moral. They just do s***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And like the truth behind Homer and Apollonius takes on it are just People doing s***. And like her is kind of a loose cannon.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: There's no way she was going to be allowed into a lab. She's just tossing b****** into snake pits, bro. Come on.

Cristina: That is amazing.

Jack: I'm not going to let her into a lab and then she has a mood swing and thrashes hundreds years worth of research.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: She would never be allowed into any s*** like that. But she does toss b****** in the snake pits casually.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's just some s***. Who knows how many of these women turned into this s***. Now, again, the story of the Lamia plays out this way, but all these other narratives are also real exaggerated and sort of fluffed up, so they don't show any kind of reality to them. Probably a bunch of these b****** got tossed into snake pits.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Even if we don't have snake stories.

Cristina: Of them and their stories, they probably just. They died.

Jack: Yeah, they just f****** died. Yeah. It's like maybe she was too confident and like, not enough adrenochrome. So you didn't make a monster. Because I'm sure sometimes maybe you just fall, hit your head. No fear was felt.

Cristina: Yes. Yeah. Some people just die.

Jack: You just die. Yeah. And so not everybody became a creature. But this was a weird instance.

Cristina: She probably made a few creatures by accident.

Jack: I'm sure she made a couple. I'm sure. In India. I mean, we know based on just this new context.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: We know snake pits have resulted in snake like creatures. Multiple. Many.

Cristina: Yeah. And there's got to be people who saw it happen. Like this random guard.

Jack: Yes. Which means we could probably assuming it happens after the time of record keeping. Somebody penned the paper, Right?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Now, what does it ultimately mean? We know that the serpent surrounding Khalees, while she was horrified, literally being squeezed to death, were exposed to the adrenochrome. One of the abilities of creatures and adrenochrome that most commonly is acquired is shape shifting. We see it talking everywhere, and the leftover body of Khalees assures us she was in fact, still physically there. So she's not who turned. She actually did die, which created the Adrenochrome. That was important. So one of the serpents morphed over the days. Interesting enough. It also gives us insight into the transformation, because nothing gets bigger or smaller other than Ophiomorphous, the artificial Naga created by Yaldabaoth in the Shadow Realm. That one can alter its scale, but we don't know of other Naga to alter their scale. So that's not a thing. And we don't know shape shifters to alter their scale. So he would have imitated her. It would have just been a tiny arm length snake with half of it being a tiny arm length Khalees.

Cristina: That's weird.

Jack: Yeah, but that's not what they saw come out. She was full size, maybe a little bigger than Khalees. That's the adrenochrome. It's morph increased its size dramatically, which tells us what happened. We don't have many takes on serpents being exposed to adrenochrome.

Cristina: No, but now definitely one of them.

Jack: Yes, definitely, yes.

Cristina: The whole victims of children and men.

Jack: On point. Yeah, on point. So it grew in size like 10 times, 20 times, 30 times. Whatever made it bigger than Khalees by default. And it did its best to imitate what it was seeing around it with one of its abilities. And it didn't fully maximize it, but it got enough to confuse the h*** out of a guard and then fled. It somehow climbed out of the pit, which is whole complicated thing, but again, weird abilities it has. And now it's got arms that it could imitate to have. And like odd, but. And it was days later it was in that pit hours and hours and hours exploring what it was now. Horrifying, you know, so it's. It probably turned into a million things in there trying to figure it out. Anomalous things, shapeless things that just don't make sense. Anybody who looked into that hole must have been mind looking in there.

Cristina: Except no one would because like why?

Jack: It's just dead people in snakes. Yeah, but that's what we got. The lamia is not a woman. The lamia is a serpent. Adrenochrome creature. The controlled version of a serpent. Adrenochrome creature. But that tells us what?

Cristina: There's more.

Jack: That there's more. And not just more. There are literally three other variations to this same creature. Not just more of the creature. This same one creature can have four different states based on what it is. It would have thalamia, which is it on adrenochrome, but that is not what is out there eating children casually. That is what left the pit. The lamia, the controlled thinking, logical, trying to figure itself out, highly intelligent version. That is not what's out there killing men and children.

Cristina: That's just a big snake.

Jack: Well, no, that would be the feral version.

Cristina: Yeah, but that's it.

Jack: Yeah, I guess it would, but it's not a snake. It stopped being a snake.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now it's an adrenochrome Thing. Yes, because the snake would not have been on adrenochrome. And in deep diving, trying to figure out how this all fits together, I successfully did in fact find them. And they all happen to be based around the same area, and they all happen to be based around the same time. So presumably either a s*** ton of these m************ were made, or we can track the specific one that ate Khalees. There is a creature called a dracana, and it's all the identical characteristics of the lamia, with details like it being more monstrous and feral, less human and more driven by primal bloodlust. And texts suggest its behaviors are similar to the lamia. Only difference in the excessive amount of aggression that it shows. The lamia seems passive and it likes to hide. It's staying away from things. Someone don't catch me, don't see me, don't spot me. I gotta be in the COVID of night, in the dark. The dracana doesn't give a. That rolls up on towns, that rolls up on city. It doesn't give a. Broad daylight. It doesn't give a. It's eating.

Cristina: It's eating. Okay, so this is the feral.

Jack: This is a creature people run from towns, from, okay, destroyed villages because this rolled through.

Cristina: Oh, that's crazy.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which as you'd expect of an adrenochrome creature, oftentimes we don't get something crazy vicious because it's something stupid. But sometimes we get like, you know, if a groundhog. Like, whatever, dude. But if a wolf takes it, okay, we got a bit of a problem. We got nothing but stories of villages being terrorized by werewolves.

Cristina: Mm

Jack: Because when it's bad enough, it's bad enough.

Cristina: Horrible.

Jack: It's horrible. Werewolf. That's a f****** problem. Evacuate. Leave the f****** country. If you can get as far away, put water in between you, it's a f****** werewolf.

Cristina: Yeah, and I'm.

Jack: You know, most werewolves have started themselves out into the shadow realm. Ultimately as we got more technologically advanced and built structures that couldn't get through and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So in modern day, we see way less adrenochrome driven creatures because they will starve to death, minus the humans who can create farms easily.

Cristina: Yes, we don't have a problem.

Jack: We can solve our issues. But that's definitely the dracaena. If it. All the characteristics all perfectly, minus the fact that it's out of its f****** mind and fits the characteristics of what we're referring to as the Lamia. See, when we Talk about the Lamia. We're converging two stories of Khalees and a serpent, but the eating children and men were actually converging. The third part, the Jacana. So we're talking about three different instances of Khalees as a woman, of a serpent imitating Khalees and of the Jacana, all overlapping in one narrative that the Greek gave us. Because the lamia never hurt anybody. The lamia dipped into the woods and.

Cristina: That was the end of that.

Jack: That was the end of that.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And then we get the dracaena once that s*** goes feral and didn't get exposed enough, and now it's out of his f****** mind and has to just go eat whatever the h*** it comes across.

Cristina: And it wants children.

Jack: Yes. Now, the thing is, eventually that story fizzles out and we start seeing a very similar but different story about something called the echidna.

Cristina: Sounds familiar.

Jack: Is because Knuckles from Sonic is an echidna. But just the name of this thing is echidna. And in Greek mythology, the echidna is known as the mother of monsters, a half woman, half snake creature who gives birth to many of the famous monsters. In this context, the controlled shadow realm version of the Lamia would be the echidna. You make it into the shadow realm because you've died. But once in the shadow realm, you reset, you start again. Insane. Not insane. You start sane. So you're back to clarity. Except if you don't understand how it works, it's only a matter of time before you're right back to feral. Yeah, but you've left the body. You no longer need the blood requirements, but you still need what you were getting from the blood, which is the fear. But you no longer need the blood. So you got some time now that you've died and gone to the other side. And that brings us to the echidna, this creature that seems to be an ethereal shadow ghost. Like half woman, half snake, sort of faded silhouette thing that shows up. And it does not eat people. It sort of scares people to death. Oh, haunts them. It surrounds your house.

Cristina: It wants to fear.

Jack: Wants a fear.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It shows up. It surrounds your house. It hits things. It'll be inside. It'll run up to you. It just scare you and disappear right into your face. It's a horrifying f****** monster that's just trying to scare the living f*** out of you.

Cristina: And it's also having babies.

Jack: According to the narrative, it's having babies. But when you look at the stories that are mentioned relative to this creature, there's not one mention of it. That's specifically the Greek narrative. That's the main Greek narrative. That's full of bullshit.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Again, we never take the main narrative at face value. It's always a lie.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: We gotta take the details and. Yeah, so most of the narrative fits. The having babies part does not. But the having babies part is only mentioned in the main narrative and does not get mentioned ever again.

Cristina: Okay, so he. It's a ghost haunting.

Jack: It's a ghost haunting. And it's mentioned follows the dates that directly stop mentioning the dracaena.

Cristina: So that wild creature self died. Feral being. Maybe someone finally got it killed or something.

Jack: Yes. And then we have the ghost. The ghost.

Cristina: That's cool.

Jack: Eventually that must go feral, though.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because again, it's still uninformed. It's just a random thing. And then we get to something called the basilisk.

Cristina: Basilisk. And it's.

Jack: What is it described as? A deadly, mindless serpent spirit driven purely by instinct and fear.

Cristina: Of course. That sounds right. That sounds so right that all these match up in how they saw it.

Jack: Yep.

Cristina: They are all the stages of this creature's life.

Jack: They're all the stages of the creature's life. And they're all top, woman, bottom, serpent.

Cristina: Has to be the same.

Jack: And we found the origin.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: We can track this very instance to the very pit.

Cristina: This is crazy.

Jack: It's actually the first time we could do that.

Cristina: Yeah. Whoa.

Jack: Yeah. This is the clearest we've ever had.

Cristina: A situation that just lines up with every thing we thought about these creatures and how it works.

Jack: Yes. This answers many questions. Yes. As we were theorizing is the accurate turn of how it works. Every theory we had about how adrenochrome affects the body and what we are really getting from adrenochrome, which is ultimately the fear. And it's hard to even understand what exactly the concept of fear really is in a sort of tangible way.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because we're definitely not grasping it. We don't understand. Fear is something different to these things in general.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because why can these things tune into it? Must have already been something else. Why aren't they tuning into our happiness? You know, weren't they tuning into our sadness?

Cristina: Yeah. Because it's all the same. Well, to us, we think they're all the same.

Jack: Exactly. So it's. Fear is inherently something different.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And again, not just to the creatures. Because fear is what adrenochrome is. It's blood with adrenaline caused by fear.

Cristina: Yes. What is Happening. Okay.

Jack: We know Santa Claus, Mr. Clever, got planet Earth just having tiny little bits of faint fear. We know kids exaggerate smallest amount of fear. And he just needs kids to have a little bit of fear. He doesn't eat children. He doesn't do anything. He's just casual.

Cristina: But has accessed by it, though. So, like all of them.

Jack: But he's not some sort of creature. He's still, it seems, a necromancer. And necromancers can still wield things for power instead of having. Which he also has a stone on his staff.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So he has a stone and he's overpowered. That explains a lot. He has crazy powers. Entirely due to the fact that he has stones and still manipulating fear globally.

Cristina: Yes. I don't know. But we know he's not. He's not a human. He was a human once upon a time. Yes, but he is.

Jack: I mean, he might still be a human. We don't know what really to describe necromancers as.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Like, I think.

Cristina: But it does seem like they all went through death.

Jack: Yes, you're totally right. You're totally right. It seems in a couple of. In. You're totally right. Yes. In a couple of instances, there have been mentions that it appears to be that they must intentionally go through a process that they will die in. And that's where the original association with necromancers and death comes from. And if he is using necromancer abilities and is in any manner, shape or form, even scratching the powers of a necromancer, which we don't know. He's one of the only examples we have with, like, visible things that we can point at and be like, oh, this must be working in my favor. Like, yeah, definitely. It's hard to even grasp. But he had to die.

Cristina: I think.

Jack: So we know at least. Homer. Not Homer. Hermes. Jesus. Jesus. The best example, because, again, he couldn't go in there and do it. Dying was literally part of it.

Cristina: Yeah, it's part of the plan. That's crazy.

Jack: He's built in his own death. He managed to build the gates knowing he would need them to get back. He got back somewhere else entirely, so they couldn't stop him.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But he needed to die to do it.

Cristina: I'm pretty sure Patrick had a die too.

Jack: Maybe. I mean, the fact that he's so exaggeratedly overpowered and can so easily deal with even fairies.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Necromancers can't be touched.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Then the question that we have is, is Mab's problem? The Elysians or is Mab's problem that the Elysians are connected with Hermes? Is Hermes the issue? Is Jesus the issue? We know the Alicians at least had a heart attack after they lost control of that situation.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Get the out of here. We're all she was also fearing could totally be. Is Jesus gonna easily show up in El Fame and smack everybody around effortlessly? Sounds like Hermes can.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And like I'd be shook too, if I made your universe and you can come over here and just f*** me.

Cristina: Mm. That's crazy.

Jack: But here we have the proof that it kind of works. As we suspected it would work.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: As we have talked that it would work for years. And it played out.

Cristina: Made from adrenochrome transforming.

Jack: And we can. There's. I didn't put the dates here, but the dates kind of follow one another in the right order.

Cristina: That's so crazy because it's exactly what we thought.

Jack: It's exactly what we thought in narrative form. Although the original narrative muddies it up. And unclear is everything we're looking at. Thank you to all the other record keepers. Primarily Homer and Apollonius, who had meticulous notes.

Cristina: That's nice.

Jack: And as we know, Apollonius is really just Apollo. And Apollo directly knew Hermes because they were both present with Aristotle.

Cristina: Ridiculous.

Jack: At the school. Lycium. Yep. Everything connects.

Cristina: Everything connects. Yeah.

Jack: And somehow the problem is how the h*** did Jesus come in contact with anybody? Did Jesus didn't go to Elysium. How did Jesus. Jesus is so complicated.

Cristina: I don't know. He has some. I don't know.

Jack: He has some connection somewhere. Somewhere he must. Or he figured it out. But how? We're talking. The Elysians were definitely trying to figure this s*** out. And you alone with no help from anybody. Get the f*** out of here, bro.

Cristina: He had to have help. If he didn't like how.

Jack: Oh, s***. I just had a theory right now. It just came to me. Well. Well, I guess it kinda does make sense that he would just know. Let's look at the evidence. What is the biggest problem with Jesus that caused everybody to go.

Cristina: Everyone knew about him.

Jack: Everybody knew about him. What does that tell us? He's sending a mental wave of some sort.

Cristina: Okay. Yeah. It's coming from him.

Jack: It's coming from him outward. He was throwing a beacon back in time into the future. And in the present. This is where I am. Everybody was having visions, dreams, and everything about where he is.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Now what do we know? Following logical standing. If we think about Santa, what's one of the most Exaggerated things about Santa being everywhere. He just knows what you're doing casually.

Cristina: That's pretty powerful stuff.

Jack: Is that mental blast or whatever the f*** when Jesus was born.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So if Santa, some underpowered thing compared.

Cristina: To Jesus can do it, still know everything.

Jack: He could literally just know everything. Yes, as long as you know it. And as long as you don't have some sort of magneto brain cover protecting you from him looking into your mind or whatever. And even if maybe he's not. Not even looking at your mind, maybe he can just witness moments in space and time.

Cristina: Jesus is. I guess, I mean, that's why he's a God. He is God. He's the son of God. He is God though. That's a God power.

Jack: Yeah. You couldn't hide from him if you wanted to. He just knows. Okay. We hid it over there. Yeah. I know where they hit it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Oh, he'll never find out about these things. Oh yeah. I can just see their library and I can just see them doing the research.

Cristina: Yeah. Like, how could they really hide?

Jack: How could you really hide? But in return, the flaw with that logic is why are you looking for them if you know where they are?

Cristina: Yes. So they must have figured out a way to block him. To block him? Yes. Yes. Yes.

Jack: Which means. Yes. Going to Atlantis was very intentional. Going to Atlantis also meant that's where they had built the protection field that prevents him from seeing them. He has no idea where Atlantis is.

Cristina: No.

Jack: They know how to become invisible.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Not just literally cloaking, but they know.

Cristina: How to block their minds.

Jack: Yeah, they know how to block s***. But then that comes up to the. Let's go back to the point again. If Jesus is so freaking overpowered and you can so easily just hide from him, then his map scared of you and not Jesus. At this point, the argument really stands on one thing. One of these guys is who worried this lady. It's either the Elysians and Jehovah.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Or it was Jesus, which is a product of the Elysians and Jehovah. Anyways. But you know, we're still counting them as two separate entities, ultimately one two different units. And one of these units is triggering this lady into mobilizing elves into Stop. Could be basically being firewalls and trying to stop anybody else from getting to this level of power and trying to literally suppress the Elysians who went into hiding. And just who is she scared of? Is it Jesus or is the Alicians? They're not on the same side. One of those can easily side with her. To stop the other.

Cristina: I don't know. That's tricky. I don't know. It feels like it has to be Jesus because that's probably when she realized. No, like it is the Elysians, but it's because of Jesus that it's the Elysian.

Jack: Oh, like they could do some this. They could do this s*** again.

Cristina: Yes. And they probably would. They probably would. I don't know if they just learned their lessons. I feel like they're the type of scientists that are like, okay, plan one didn't work, let's go to plan two. Well, which is how we got other versions of Jesus that were way weaker after him. Like obviously they don't.

Jack: No, those were different people that was. We can follow him literally walking. Or do you mean like Muhammad and things like that? Because the people who were happening at the same time, we're not literally the same time. Kind of like this. We can track their dates back to back and we can follow every step Jesus took all the way to Japan. That was the same one, dude. That wasn't different people.

Cristina: No, I'm talking about like what's his name? Like the golem thing.

Jack: Oh, yes, yes. But that doesn't seem to have been Jehovah. That seems to have been information that came from the shadow realm. Kind of like the Viking forest. It was just something from the shadow and suspectedly that was Yaldabaoth just doing his own thing. Doing his own thing. And we know he did that with Eloi. He, you know, kind of influenced him. Like, hey, you could do this.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Kind of do it that way.

Cristina: Okay, okay.

Jack: Yeah. But Jesus being this level of overpowered and Jehovah's ability to easily make more Jesus becomes kind of a problem, especially because like, you don't know if they're gonna become good or bad.

Cristina: No.

Jack: And like this Jesus, at least not a threat it seems, because he directly preaches peace, love and happiness. And his whole path, every single stop he made for rest. The narrative is the same. He took care of us. He told us to love one another and treat each other really well. And he just kept going on his way.

Cristina: We know the ultimate plan is some weird war against the sea people.

Jack: Well, this is the most important part of this entire episode right here because we are way over time and we have to address this. Anyways, the narrative of Jesus, without diving into the separate cross reference parts, just the book itself, the Holy Bible, which is a rewrite of true events into this warped version by the Templar.

Cristina: Okay, right, yeah.

Jack: It tells us a very important Thing about Jesus. But we also have to remember who's telling us the story. It tells us what's gonna happen with Jesus. What's gonna happen with Jesus?

Cristina: That he's gonna come back.

Jack: Yes. And who's telling us the story?

Cristina: Let's see, people.

Jack: Which tells us what? There's an inherent plan to make another one. There's an inherent plan to make another one. Another Jesus. There's an inherent plan in the book written, telling us there's another Jesus coming. We don't know what Jesus looks like specifically. They can make him look like whatever the f*** they want. Anybody they want. We just know that a person who fits the abilities and characteristics as mentioned in the book about Jesus is gonna return. That doesn't mean literally return. That's just what they want us to believe. Because they are the people who make this.

Cristina: Exactly. Okay, so they are planning.

Jack: Yes. Within the book. We literally have. We literally have their plan.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's telling us eventually we're gonna create another one. But we can't tell them it's another one.

Cristina: No. Because we don't want them to worry.

Jack: Yeah, well, no. We wouldn't even know. We think it's all one person anyways. We didn't know that he was even made.

Cristina: That's true. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. But the book directly. With all the information we have, the book directly tells us another one's happening. Another one's gonna happen. There was the plan. Always. The plan is we're gonna make a perfect version.

Cristina: That is horrifying. I don't know. I mean, like, if it works. But what does it mean? That it worked too.

Jack: Doesn't matter. The point ultimately comes down to the fact that that's whose map Mab is afraid of, like you said.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Maybe she's scared that they're gonna make another one.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And that one will be even harder to control.

Cristina: Interesting.

Jack: Or not a good guy, especially in today's world. You want an overpowered, beyond godlike thing to have been raised by a current day human woman? We're f*****.

Cristina: I don't know their plan. Well, we don't understand their plan, but obviously they told us their plan. Like we know it's happening. Interesting.

Jack: More is to come.

Cristina: More is to come inevitably.

Jack: According to the Holy Bible.

Cristina: That's crazy. Yes. Okay.

Jack: The Knights Templar, controlled by the Elysian, specifically put in a book the corrected narrative that Jesus is coming back. We know Jesus is essentially a lab experiment. What does it mean that he's coming back if they can't control him? Means they're making another one.

Cristina: They're making another one.

Jack: So you were right about that.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Anyways, that's what we got.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: Yeah. So if you guys have any comments, questions, concerns, and if you guys want to yell at me for always being so ruthless to Christina, feel free. You guys can come and yell at me, too. You know. You guys know how it goes. You can do that and hate on us on our socials, at Just Combo pod on Twitter, which is X on Facebook, on Instagram, wherever the h***, just search it.

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

Jack: Yes. And word of mouth is one of the most important, overpowered things that exists. So tell people about the program and the fact that we're finding all these weird things.

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

Jack: Sam.

Cristina: Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by great dots.info art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth McCallister with social media managed by Amber Black.

Rambling 260: Hyperborea

Rambling 260: Hyperborea

How do the Nephilim fit into the recently identified simulation?  This Norwegian town where they reside, can we find it? And if we do, what else can we learn about the simulation by studying it? The duo revisit Nephilim in an attempt to integrate them into a frame of greater understanding relative to the simulation. But the trail takes the duo to a research team they’ve not often visited. Perhaps the only people who truly know what happens in Norway relative to the Nephilim.

+Transcript

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'm your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. And recently we've had quite the spiral of strange circumstances. And like, I. I don't. I don't know. 1. The hole seems infinite. I keep falling down the same freaking hole. The problem is that every different angle I look from it at, it's. There's so much more. Just so much more.

Cristina: More unicorns or more somehow.

Jack: All of the above. So the last couple of weeks, kind of like going on a month or a month and a half or something. I don't even know at this point. We've just been on this because there's more and there's more, and like last week we didn't even get to all this stuff, but this week we're not even gonna get to the stuff that we didn't get to last week, because this stuff that I'm getting to this week is more important than the stuff that was there last week. And the stuff from last week that we didn't get to is going to be in a different, different week's episode because it surprisingly enough connected to a bunch of other stuff. They had nothing to do with my original idea for what they were. It's like, oh, my God, this one. One. Let's. Let's take a huge step back. We're talking about a merchant, unicorns, Atlantis, an equator that exists there's no way nobody could ever know about. There is a bunch of advanced civilizations, a bunch of technology, people who shouldn't be places and know things that they do know. Somehow the beginning of humanity with information that they shouldn't have had, language happening way after a bunch of technological advancements. That doesn't make any sense. Except it does if you include Atlantis on the equator as the advanced civilization that's giving everybody the data in the first place because they were the first advance and thus explaining away most of this. But. But all of this, all of this comes back to one place. I thought it was originally coming back to the Atlanteans.

Cristina: Oh, I was gonna say that.

Jack: Okay, they're there, they're definitely present. But the Atlanteans apparently weren't even the point. But also, it wasn't the Greek, and also it wasn't the unicorns. And also none of the above. But all of the above at the Same time. So recap. There is an ancient equator, and the ancient equator has a bunch of civilizations that settled on it, but they settled on it about 480 million years after it was no longer existing. And there was no way for them to know it existed because science has not been invented yet for them to run the calculations that allowed them to even know the equator existed in this fashion.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But somehow they still managed to do this about 7,000 years before they would have had the knowledge. Okay, fantastic. Problems for days. But then we, you know, figured that although these monuments and these civilizations are highly advanced and intelligent for what they're doing without any of the tools, there was a one group of people who were well placed. Enough. The Atlanteans, that had advanced technologies enough, according to all the sources.

Cristina: Apparently, yes.

Jack: And they were positioned so tactically in the right place that they can reach all the places. And according to a bunch of people, not only did they have technology, but they also had flying freaking horses, which is a hugely important detail.

Cristina: Is there more to it?

Jack: There's. It's not more to it. In fact, it's exactly the same thing. But putting the exact same thing into perspective, okay. Changes everything. So we have a merchant in the 1700s that gets some alleged unicorn horn from a Russian named John. And then he takes it, and he shows a bunch of scholars. They study it. They go on some journeys to find other scholars. A literal war breaks out.

Cristina: Unicorn horn.

Jack: They all get hooked on alicorn. They form schools in. In covert secrecy to study it, because they. They're assuming that once people hear about, this crap's gonna hit the fan. And then when people hear about it, it literally hits a fan. A war breaks out between Russia and Turkey trying to get to the alicorn. And, like, okay, they disappear. The alicorn disappears. Literally. One of the guys dies, gets murdered. Yeah, everybody gets killed except the guy. He gets away, eventually dies too. And then eventually, some people in the future, about 60, 70 years later, they also pop up and say, hey, we found some unicorn horn. And they pointed at the same location that Jon said he got it from. They pointed at the same location, Mount Athos.

Cristina: And someone gave it to them.

Jack: They went there. They went there and got it.

Cristina: But they didn't say how they got it.

Jack: Nope.

Cristina: They could have just found it on the ground like a unicorn shed. This horn.

Jack: Well, you gotta understand that these records, which I mentioned last time, are highly unstable. Specific. They're very. It was the inception of record keeping, so they weren't being meticulous they were keeping records of everything, but not in detail.

Cristina: Well, would that be a solution of how they got the horns? If the unicorns are shedding their horns? Because it seems, like, really hard to actually do anything.

Jack: Unicorn, you can't spot one, you're not faster than one. They can disappear easily. They'll vanish right in front of your eyes.

Cristina: They fly? Sort of.

Jack: They can. Yeah.

Cristina: Or something. What is it again?

Jack: They can walk on thin air. They can just run. Yeah, they just run on air.

Cristina: Yeah. So it's really weird that these people would just randomly get them. Unless they all have a version, I guess, was one way to get these unicorns.

Jack: Well, what you're saying, actually, it checks out. It makes a lot of sense. I didn't think about that before, but, like, how are they acquiring it? How does everybody that goes up there easily find us? If. Unless. When they disappear, this is where they go to if there's like a reset and up here, they can't disappear because when they disappear, they disappear to here. That would be the only other answer.

Cristina: What. What appears and disappears?

Jack: The unicorns. When you're watching a unicorn, that they can just vanish in front of you, where are they vanishing to? Probably the mountain. Okay, so unless they're shedding on the mountain, like you say, which is a great solution to the problem, they're just walking around. Find it. But if that's not the case, then when they disappear, anywhere else, where they appear to would be that mountain, which is why people can get them there. Because they're not disappearing from the mountain. They just pop up right where they are again, because the mountain is where they're going to when they disappear. So unless one, then the other, they're either shedding, which makes perfect sense, and I think about. Or they're appearing up there. That's all I was thinking about. Like, when they do vanish, they must be popping up over there, and they can't disappear from over there because something sets them to that location. That's what I was thinking. But shedding makes more sense, animalistically speaking, makes a lot of sense. But also, we're talking about a creature that's literally magic and has only been seen in one place. So maybe it is resetting up there.

Cristina: But shedding makes a lot of sense.

Jack: If we're talking about a normal creature.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And yes, could totally apply. But again, we're talking about something that literally disappears in front of people's faces. It's not as weird as it has a spawn spot. Okay, now I need you to focus entirely and tell me why it's weird that it has a spawn spot if it can disappear into thin air. Why is that the weird part?

Cristina: Because. Why?

Jack: Why is it disappearing into thin air?

Cristina: But then that makes it feel.

Jack: Picking and choosing which thing is weird?

Cristina: That's just so weird. That's.

Jack: It walks on air.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Why is any one part weirder to you than any other?

Cristina: I don't know. That's just weirder. That is definitely weirder. I don't know.

Jack: It's weirder that they're spawning in the only place they've ever been seen. That's what you're telling me?

Cristina: Yes. Because they haven't just been seen.

Jack: There literally have only been seen there. There's no mention of unicorns outside of that.

Cristina: Then why would they be spawning in the spot that they're. I don't know. That doesn't make sense either.

Jack: What, that they're spawning the only place they've ever been seen?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's weird to you, that the only place they've ever been seen is where they're just popping up?

Cristina: Because then they're not running away from anyone. They're just, I'm here, and then I'm gone, but then I'm here again. Like, that's a really bad way to run away. If they're trying to get away from.

Jack: Okay, I see what you mean. I see what you mean. My idea would be that people have likely seen them in other places, but not sustained seeing them. So you'll be in the woods randomly and. Is that a unicorn? Oh, wait, there's nothing there because it disappeared in front of you and ended.

Cristina: Up on the mountain.

Jack: And ended up on the mountain.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Kind of like Bigfoot. Maybe it's just portaling itself right there. Okay, magic. It's not as weird, considering it can disappear. It can heal anything, it causes immortality. It can fly into nothing.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: A spawn point is what you find weird. That's the part that you're like, no, this sounds not real.

Cristina: Well, if you're there, I'm saying, like, that doesn't make sense.

Jack: Well, nobody there has seen. They've seen them disappear. Everybody who's been there has just simply come down with things from them. So they're clearly not running away up there. Or if they are, then they're shutting one or the other point being that up there, people are clearly at least close enough in proximity to come down with the unicorn horn.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Nowhere else is that the case. But people aren't saying they disappeared up there. They're just saying Oh, I got a unicorn horn. So they're just appearing from somewhere else. Where are they disappearing to? And if so, why aren't they disappearing from the mountain? Because it seems to be that if they're not disappearing from the mountain, but they disappear from anywhere else, it's a one way trip to the mountain from wherever they disappear to. Be the only conclusion. Unless they can always disappear, in which case you'd never come across a unicorn horn because they're always vanishing away from you. And they could show up anywhere on Earth because they can go anywhere. Unless there is a location that they would spawn to.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because how else would you even acquire the horn?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: If they're not teleporting to the mountain.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Then why would they chill up there? They could go anywhere. They'll be teleporting everywhere. Because they could just do that inherently. They'll poof right in front of you.

Cristina: And going, why is it so easy to get a unicorn horn?

Jack: Because maybe on the mountain they are just horses.

Cristina: They're just horses on the mountain.

Jack: Well, joke's on you, because that's literally what's said. So there's something about the mountain that strips anything on the mountain of all their abilities. That is one of the things I found about that mountain, Mount Athos.

Cristina: Then how are they flying on Pegasus up there?

Jack: Because a Pegasus isn't flying with powers. It has wings. It's a pegasus.

Cristina: So weird. Okay.

Jack: It's using its physical construct to get there.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Why is it that the Atlanteans that possess not only advanced technologies, but magic land and then walk down the mountain. Why don't they just float on down. There's something weird about the mountain.

Cristina: Okay, okay. So what's the story? They. It doesn't have it anything on. It doesn't have powers.

Jack: So basically, it seems that anything on the mountain is absolutely normal, but anything from the mountain outside the mountain is not. That seems to be the most consistent pattern about this mountain. Now it's to the point that they have established schools on that mountain to study the mountain, and they are still there today studying the mountain. There are schools and churches of many different disciplines on that mountain, studying that mountain today. Because allegedly the mountain itself is magic. But everything that in theory would have magic on the mountain isn't. A priest who can heal goes up there and can no longer heal. But why?

Cristina: There's always like that. What?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Wow. That is very strange. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. There are 20 different monasteries and schools up there. There are also. What is this called? It's a group of people that maintain it's a self sustained mountain. People aren't allowed on the mountain, by the way, if you're on the mountain, you're from the mountain. And if you're off the mountain, you're off of the mountain. And it's a chore to get up there. You need a permit. Only a hundred people are allowed up there daily. They are all men.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Women are not allowed on the mountain.

Cristina: Even if they're virgins.

Jack: Women are not allowed on the mountain. And only 10 non orthodox individuals a day. All the others must be Orthodox.

Cristina: Those orthodox means Orthodox Christians. Oh, they have to be Orthodox.

Jack: Yes. Only 10 people who aren't a day are allowed up there. Everybody else must be. And you need a permit. And you need to schedule this about six months ahead of time. And they will screen you to make sure who you are. They want to know your background, they want to know where you come from. They want to know who you've encountered before you step foot on this mountain.

Cristina: That's ridiculous. That's so crazy. It's very suspicious. But okay.

Jack: That the Christians are gatekeeping a mountain. That's magic.

Cristina: What?

Jack: And that's there today? That's all happening at this moment.

Cristina: Mmm. What do they know?

Jack: Oh, and any individual that doesn't live there can only be there a total of three days.

Cristina: A total of three days?

Jack: Yeah. So if you go and visit, you can only be there three days and then you gotta get the f*** out.

Cristina: If you have the permit, how long can you be there? Or that's.

Jack: The permit is only for three days.

Cristina: For three days, okay.

Jack: @ most. And you can only stay in three different locations. You cannot repeat any one location. Weird.

Cristina: It is weird that it's all too specific.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: What? A permit. Permit for what though?

Jack: Like to visit a mountain and you have to stay where they tell you to. You don't get to choose where you want, they're gonna choose for you. And you can't repeat places.

Cristina: Really weird repeat places. So they can move you. Like if something weird's happening in one place, maybe they'll get you to the next.

Jack: You wouldn't even know.

Cristina: Yeah. Is there any weird stories about people who visited though?

Jack: Two.

Cristina: Two? Just two. Wow. Okay.

Jack: Well, from the people currently living on the mountain now, two. But I've told you like 12 different stories about people who visited the mountain already.

Cristina: Yes, but like that's it. That still feels like not much stories.

Jack: Yeah, according to the people who live on the mountain. Because again, they can. The people who live on a mountain can leave the mountain.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: These people who don't live in a mountain, they are not allowed onto the mountain. But according to them, in the last thousand years, only 20 people have gone to the highest point of the mountain.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: There is a separate area at the highest point that even they are not allowed to go to. Oh. So let's. Let's begin. Let's begin. We did a recap. You know, we know about the Atlanteans and them landing on the top of the mountain to visit the Greeks and trade with them. We know the unicorns have been spotted on the mountain. We know that there are two Greek record keepers in the early 1800s, both that contained diff that had different unicorn horns that they got at the mountain according to themselves and that they wrote into the document they pointed at the same place. We also know that there was a Russian named John claiming to have obtained the unicorn horn that he then gave our merchant that he got from the same location. So we have a couple of instances about there. We also know that there are two very, very important books, bestiaries that just talk about the creatures of the time, Both of which mention unicorns. And they both mentioned the unicorns were spotted. None of them were written by any of the four people we've just mentioned. These are just different books that they obtained that mention the same thing. So if we go based on this, we got John, we got Antonio was his name or something like that. Draco or something like that. And then our Two historians plus two books, I.e. six mentions of the same location from different sources. Yes, about unicorns atop the mountain. A magic horse, if you will. So what do we know about this mountain? Why is this mountain so important? Why do people care about this mountain.

Cristina: Besides the weird stuff happening there?

Jack: Well, we have to go to the original stories as to the original story is told about this mountain. Okay, first mentions of this mountain in any form of writing. So we have to go to the first writings. We have two groups of people who almost at the same time started to record. We're talking about the Jews and we're talking about the Greeks. But the Jews have nothing to do with this mountain. Their records don't mention this at all. They're close and far enough that they're not bothered. The people who do mention it are the Greek, and it shows up in Greek mythology quite heavily, the mountain. So what's weird about the this instance is when the Greeks started writing down their mythology for the first time. We know there was some inconsistencies because it was narratives that were not written for many, many, many millennia, just told all word of mouth. So there's, you know, some kind of miss things here and there. But for whatever reason, during the writing process, as they refined and decided, this is the story we're going with. So that's how we ended up with Zeus and knowing Hera and knowing Hercules and the lineage. This is all because these are the versions of the stories we decided to write. You know, Makes perfect sense.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Even if there's a million versions of them, we chose one, and we. We're gonna coast on that until we get to this mountain. And in the text, they mentioned the lack of clarity. They don't know which story is true. Weird, considering you made them up and then wrote them down. Why didn't you pick one for this? Why was your response to Mount Athos? I don't know which story is true. So there are two different stories.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: One is the attack of Athos. Athos was in a battle with Poseidon. Athos is a giant, by the way. Oh, Athos is a giant. One of the many. One of the Titans, you could say. Although the Titans and the giants are very different.

Cristina: So is the Titan or a giant?

Jack: It's a giant. But okay. Anyways, so we have Athos, and he's in a battle with Poseidon. Poseidon, in the middle of the battle, goes down to the water. They're fighting on Mount Olympus. And he goes into the water to have the field advantage, because Poseidon and water, of course, Athos proceeds to, instead of following him instantaneously, to rip off a side of Olympus and toss it at Poseidon.

Cristina: That becomes mountain.

Jack: Later it does because it misses Poseidon, but he follows after the rock. He threw. He threw the mountain. And then he goes after to then continue fighting Poseidon. Poseidon dodges it. It hits the water. Poseidon then grabs the mountain and he throws it back at Athos, successfully hitting Athos, stopping the mountain. And the mountain lands in the water. That's the placement it landed in. And that becomes Mount Athos.

Cristina: So the mountain is on Athos?

Jack: No, it hit Athos.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: So that is one story. The other story is that that mountain was always there. It was just a mountain. And the fight between Athos and Poseidon took place on that mountain. And Poseidon won the battle, and he buried Athos beneath the mountain. That story is way more fascinating than the previous one, because apparently the body of giants would be consumed by the soil. Making it magic.

Cristina: Is that. That's what you think, like, that makes sense.

Jack: Makes a lot of sense. Additionally, magic does not work on giants. Interesting.

Cristina: Magic doesn't work on giants.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: And that's why the magical mountain, it doesn't have anything magical on it.

Jack: But the mountain itself is magic.

Cristina: Yeah. What?

Jack: The plot thickens. So those are what Greek mythology has to say about this mountain. Now let's talk about the facts of this mountain. The things we know factually are happening on this mountain in the real world. World. Mount Athos has over 2,000 monks living there in a total of 20 monasteries.

Cristina: 2,000, you said?

Jack: Yeah, 2,000 monks, 20 monasteries. Over 4,000 other men who work in the monasteries, not 4,400 men who work in the monasteries. And the mountain is self sustained. The food is grown on the mountain. They use everything. They got generators, which is how they power things. There's no power lines coming from outside.

Cristina: They don't have any real weird rules themselves about like, we can only stay here one day and then we gotta move to the next one or whatever. Like the guests.

Jack: Not that I know of. Women don't go on the mountain. People from outside the mountain must have a permit. Those are weird roles. They are very private. They don't talk much about what happens on the mountain.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Again, entry to the area is restricted and controlled severely. Only males are allowed to be there. Only males are allowed to live there. Only males are allowed to visit. It gets stranger. Oh.

Cristina: How?

Jack: Every animal on the mountain is male.

Cristina: That's very strange.

Jack: It's strange sort of at the beginning when you're like, oh, well, you know, all the birds they have in cages and all the cows they raise are just bulls. And like everything you. Everything they eat, everything they raise, whatever. But creatures visit the mountain.

Cristina: Yeah. There should be wild creatures.

Jack: Yes, there are. There's never been a female one ever recorded. That's weird.

Cristina: That's weird.

Jack: Them bringing, capturing and raising. Less weird. It's strange, but it's not like a phenomenon. It's just a bunch of weird people doing weird things.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: When you have birds freely flying and they're all male. And they're all male, you got something weird happening.

Cristina: Mm, that sounds very weird.

Jack: Very strange. Now, of the 20 monasteries, this is where it's gonna get really interesting. Like I said, there are many Orthodox, but there are some that absolutely aren't.

Cristina: There is.

Jack: Of the 20, one that is Serbian, one that is Bulgarian, and one that is Russian.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Important detail to remember.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: There are some people that live there that are called the sktei and they Live in villages on the mountain and they are the ones who farm. They are also the handiworkers of the area. They are the production workers.

Cristina: Are they all male also?

Jack: Everybody on the mountain, without exception, is male. There is no exception to this rule. No woman will ever be on this mountain. All male, no matter what you think, no matter what the question might be. They're male? Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Always and forever.

Cristina: Doesn't make sense, but okay.

Jack: They are f****** each other if they have to. All guys? Why don't know. All guys? Yeah, Just all guys. Any question about gender? Men. Yes.

Cristina: Are we having children?

Jack: No, they're all men. They couldn't.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The logic of men still applies. They are just as men. As men could be. They cannot give birth. No, they're men. Now, these monasteries are not just research facilities and religious constructs for people of faith. They also possess holy relics and they have icons as well. And they have mosaics of great value. They the usual things that Christians do in taking a bunch of important historical things and instead of showing the world, hiding them from everybody. Yeah, you know the sketchy thing that Catholics and Christians just love to do about hiding things? So that's happening there in abundance now. Although many of these things have been lost, though people have gone there and stolen crap. They have set fire to things. There was a time in history when they were being raided and pillaged on this mountain and a bunch of crap was stolen. But they apparently had so much crap that less than 1% of it was actually taken. But so much was taken that everybody that left left rich. So you have all the crap you're telling me?

Cristina: Yes. How?

Jack: How exactly how and why?

Cristina: Why?

Jack: What's the need to have this all up here? Very interesting. People who come to the mountain as visitors are not allowed to see any of the relics that aren't on display in their libraries. They have museums and they have vaults that contain the majority of them. The only ones you can go see are the ones in the libraries. So they're hiding religious artifacts and not explaining what they are or why they have them, which is weird. If you want people to have faith and to trust and to understand religion. The fact that you're hiding parts of.

Cristina: Your religion, the magical parts, probably.

Jack: Magical parts, probably. Now, important detail. Some of these things are actual religious texts, parts of the Bible, the original books from the Bible. Apparently there are more than just the books that we took away from the Jews, but other books that have just never even been mentioned are here.

Cristina: Why? Why are they hiding everything? Ah, okay.

Jack: I don't know, because they're doing the same thing in Italy.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Just a lot of hidden things.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: At this point, I'm starting to think we just need to go gather as people, like people of Earth. Think about this. We need to gather and just. Let's just go murder everybody in both of these locations and take all the stuff. They're not gonna let us take it easily. So we kill them all and take it and then find out why they felt the need to lie to all of you and hide what you guys. If you.

Cristina: It's probably impossible to steal whatever it is they have, though.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: Because other people try to do it and they stole things. But it was the obvious things, not the hidden things. The hidden things are probably super well.

Jack: Hidden because there are people fighting back. You do not have an opportunity to thoroughly Look. Now, if 100,000 people show up to this mountain and murder the 2,000 people there, now you just have nothing but time. Comb through this mountain and find everything that these people have hidden. God knows why. Let's go to Italy. Let's incarcerate every single one of these people, and we're gonna go into every one of these buildings, into every chamber. We're gonna break everything we can to get through every possible wall and see every room and capture every single piece of everything and publicize all of it. That needs to happen at some point. That needs to happen at some point.

Cristina: They're using magic to hide these things. It might not be possible.

Jack: According to the logic of this mountain, that would not be possible.

Cristina: Oh, yes. Because magic isn't working.

Jack: There must just be chambers, which means we can't just off every one of them and get to them easy.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now, one. One artifact, one book, a very important book is on this mountain. But you were asking about weird rules. One of the weird rules, like I said before, is that they themselves are not allowed to go to the top of the mountain, to the highest point. They are not allowed at the highest point of the mountain. In the last thousand years, only 20 individuals have ever gone to the highest point of the mountain. Let's talk about the highest point of the mountain. It is visibly the only green part of the mountain. There is grass and trees at the top. Not snow.

Cristina: Not snow. That is weird. That is weird. Okay.

Jack: Very strange. The top of the mountain contains a single relic, a single book.

Cristina: What's in that book?

Jack: A bestiary.

Cristina: Weird. What?

Jack: Weird.

Cristina: Why is that? What's there?

Jack: That isn't the craziest part. The Russian monastery has been in a continuous battle to reclaim the bestiary that was written by the Russians. And the Orthodox Christians confiscated it, claimed it as part of their history, placed it on top of the mountain. And the Russians themselves respect the top of the mountain, so they themselves do not go.

Cristina: Wait, but like, is there. They don't say like, about the people that did go on top of the mountain.

Jack: We know nothing about them.

Cristina: Okay. Did they sneak there? Did they dis.

Jack: We don't know anything about him.

Cristina: It's very strange.

Jack: Don't know anything about him. We just know that there is Russian bestiary being claimed by the Orthodox Christians and hidden atop the mountain, where every monastery believes it is too sacred to visit. This is your artifact. Go up there and get it.

Cristina: But you can't.

Jack: But you can't because it's too sacred to visit. What does that mean? Does that mean what?

Cristina: Interesting.

Jack: Gets weird, bro. Like, what is happening? Also, how do we go up and get to grass and trees instead of snow? Mount Athos is the second tallest place in all of Greece. And how do you have grass and trees, not snow?

Cristina: It's for the unicorns to eat.

Jack: Olympus is only slightly bigger and it is covered in snow on top.

Jack: So. And it's in the same country, which means the same altitude should, in theory, lead to the same conditions.

Cristina: I wanna know what's in that bestiary that's so weird. Why is that one? The one that's hidden?

Jack: Why is that? What's hidden? You got all these other artifacts, but you put one up there, the bestiary.

Cristina: They got more than just unicorns in that beastiary.

Jack: It has to be.

Jack: That's strange, right?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Okay, let's go to the other question you had. There are two women to have ever stepped foot on this mountain. In the late 1800s, a woman disguised herself as a man, went onto the mountain out of, who knows? Curiosity. I don't know. She. There's something. There was a. There was some reason important enough for her to disguise herself and go there. We don't know what, but they removed her. She was incarcerated at the foot of the mountain. They built a prison just for her. And she was there her whole life until she died. Just for faking being a man and going out to the mountain later. It was legislated. They legislated so that women are not allowed on the mountain. It is in the law.

Cristina: In the law.

Jack: It's in the law that women are not allowed in the mountain.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That is in Greek law.

Cristina: Well, before she did that, it wasn't.

Jack: Also, this mountain counts as A sovereign state. So it is in Greece, but not.

Cristina: It's not part of Greece.

Jack: They can make their own rules.

Cristina: And the rule is no women.

Jack: No women.

Cristina: I wonder why.

Jack: That's the second woman ever to step foot on that mountain.

Cristina: Who was the first?

Jack: And what happened to her about 5,000 years ago?

Cristina: What?

Jack: Roughly. No, actually, about. No, no, that's wrong. It was about 2,000 years ago. Yeah. About 2,000 years ago, there was a woman on a boat headed to Cyprus, which is in Greece or part of Greece, or in some instances, part of Greece. In other instances, it's its own place, depending who you ask. She was headed there and the wind current pushed her away. And she landed on Athos without knowing what it was. But upon landing on Athos, this land was beautiful. This land was great. This woman proceeded to go to the highest point of the mountain. At the highest point of the mountain. She then prayed to her son to give her permission to claim the land.

Cristina: Pray to her son. What does this mean?

Jack: Two thousand years ago, about a year after the death of Jesus, Mary was on a boat headed towards Cyprus. The winds redirected her. She landed on Mount Athos, went to the top of the mountain, prayed to Christ that she can keep this land, and then we never hear of her again. This is in the Bible, in the Orthodox Christian book. This text is in there.

Cristina: Okay. She owns it, and yet they don't let women on it. That's very suspicious and odd.

Jack: Also, there is a green patch at the very top of this mountain.

Cristina: Yes. You think she lives there? You think she's still alive?

Jack: I don't know, man. It's just like the weirdest series.

Cristina: That is the weirdest.

Jack: According to the Orthodox Christians, these are the only two women to have ever stepped foot on this mountain.

Cristina: Yes. And we don't know anything about either of these women. It's just. That's it.

Jack: That's it. They refuse to give us more details relative to these things.

Cristina: She prayed for that mountain and then. I don't understand what. So weird. That's just so odd. I don't know what to do with that information.

Jack: Yep.

Cristina: How did she end up there and what happened after she prayed? That's her story.

Jack: I was curious about the same thing. Like, do we know? Did she make a house? Does she, like, live off the land? Like, what happened? Nothing.

Cristina: Nothing. And then they don't want women there. I wonder why. I wonder how that's connected.

Jack: She was there before all the guys were.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: She was the first person to step foot on that mountain.

Cristina: What does that mean? I don't know. That's very strange.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: But no magic works on that mountain, right?

Jack: No magic works on that mountain.

Jack: Now, let us remember a very important detail about this mountain. The Atlanteans arrive on this mountain, how?

Cristina: The Pegasus. Right.

Jack: And a Pegasus is what?

Cristina: A flying horse.

Jack: So with a flying horse, you would obviously land where, to the top? Yes, because then you're going to come down, and if you land at the top, you're landing at the summit. The summit where the grass, the trees.

Cristina: Perfect for the horses.

Jack: Perfect for the horses. Where you've already seen other horses. Right. Where Mary also happened to go up to.

Cristina: Mm. What?

Jack: There's something about the. The mountain stops being interesting immediately. Because we were wrong about the mountain.

Cristina: It's the mountain top that's the most important thing.

Jack: It's the summit. Something about the summit of the mountain. Because we don't see, like, we can. I can get a pass and go onto that mountain right now. I am not allowed at the top of the mountain right now, but I can go to the mountain. I can get on the waiting list in six months. I could just go onto that mountain, check it out. Cool. They will arrest me if I try to go to the top.

Cristina: How did they stop each other from getting to the top?

Jack: Because they all adamantly believe that it is too sacred for them to go up to.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They do not even surveil each other. They put the bestiary up there. That belongs to the Russians, and they themselves don't go and retrieve it. They're on the mountain, too. They could have just gone up and got in it. There's no security. There's no buildings. There's no nothing. You could just go up there. If you live on the mountain, maybe.

Cristina: That summit is more than just a regular summit, then, like. But you said there's no magic. But then how could they put a book there? It's very strange.

Jack: So I have theories on what the point of it is. Right. Assuming that the whole mountain functions equally, and the whole mountain, like the second story, is true. This. This is the burial site Athos. And if giants, when they die, the same effects that their bodies already have where magic doesn't work on them, and so his body then fed the mountain. The mountain magic no longer works on this mountain, and the whole mountain works equally. No magic works atop at the summit either. This would mean a couple of things. Right? If you put a magical artifact on this mountain, you've stripped it of its powers.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Now, this part on Top of the mountain is very different than everywhere else. Maybe that part on top of the mountain is the literal burial site. It is the only part with dirt and grass. It is the only part that isn't a bunch of rock.

Cristina: The burial site to the giant.

Jack: Yes. So giant would be buried at the very, very top, making it the strongest magic stream. So if you had something very dangerous and strong, magically speaking, you'd put it at the strongest dampening point, which could be the summit.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Alternatively, if the story says he's buried underneath. This is me. That was just me adding the sauce and saying maybe he would. Maybe that part is wrong. It is a burial site, but he was buried on top. The story says he's buried underneath the mountain. So the highest point would be the furthest from his body, thus the weakest from his effect, which means, potentially, we see the trees, we see the grass. It is the only green point. It might be the. It's just far enough from his body that it's the only part of the mountain where magic still happens. The only part of the mountain where magic can still work. If somebody who is connected to a being of pure magic were to go up there, they'd still have access to this being of pure magic, because that person could easily communicate or reach them, because magic still works. If the Holy Spirit or Jesus Christ or this vampire guy is really who she thinks he is and who everybody else thinks he is, and he can communicate and transcend, then this mountain would, in any case, dampen all those abilities. Except at this one point on top, this lady goes and prays and just, poof, vanishes. But it's because her son can take her from there.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: But it's also where Atlanteans come down from. They have access to not just advanced technologies, but potentially magic. Are they even really flying there? Because that's what they say. That's what the stories say, that they have these horses, they land on top of the mountain, but nobody's allowed to the top of the mountain to see this event happen. They just know that the Atlanteans come down from there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And they put two and two together and say, oh, they flew there and then came down from there. But again, we know a lady went up and disappeared and that people come down and go back up and then they're not up there.

Cristina: So what do you think?

Jack: Sounds like some sort of a portal. Oh, sounds like the top of the mountain crap just disappears and reappears. Also, people are allowed on the mountain, but they're not allowed at the summit. But unicorns have been seen on the mountain. Where the h*** would the unicorns be? Where they could survive? Where there's nature at the top of the mountain.

Cristina: Where you think they're teleporting too, when they get. When they running away. Okay. Oh, oh, okay, that makes sense.

Jack: The top of the mountain is some Garden of Eden equivalent. Let's think about the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden exists in some sort of alternate bubble dimension that only certain beings can access successfully, but is hidden in plain sight. The Garden of Eden is also interchangeable with where the Atlanteans live. We've many times come across the text in different, different mythologies that reference these two things interchangeably.

Cristina: Connection to Atlantis. Okay, but the church people can't like do anything with that anyway. Interesting. Also, they probably have magical tools up there that they're studying, like in non magical ways, because it takes away the magic from those tools. Yeah, but they're not going up there.

Jack: Yeah, they're not allowed.

Cristina: Exactly. But they have a lot of crap.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: And a lot of those crap could be magical.

Jack: But not on the mountain.

Cristina: But not on the mountain. Exactly. So that's a perfect studying location.

Jack: The top of the mountain.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But only 20 people in the last thousand years have gone up there who can study it. And how are they gonna bring you back the data?

Jack: If anything, when these people go up there to do anything, they're not staying up there. They're going wherever that up there is taking them. The people who go to the top of the mountain. These 20 people over the course of thousand years who live in these monasteries and have gone up there, were entering some other place. They were going somewhere else. But only these people were specifically chosen and allowed to cross whatever threshold is at the summit that's allowing them to go to whatever place. The same place where Mary went. The same place that the Atlanteans are coming from. The same place that unicorns seem to be popping out of. All connected to this one place on top that has such a vast similarity to the Garden of Eden, which is also consistently referenced alongside the opposing grounded, more real texts of the Atlanteans.

Cristina: The Atlanteans? Yes. They're the children of Adam and Eve. Okay, yes, I'm remembering that weirdness.

Jack: Oh, and by chance, Mary happens to go up there.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Where she would come across the children of Adam and Eve.

Cristina: Yes. But that was accidentally total accident.

Jack: But also, if you are a Christian, everything happens for a reason.

Cristina: Okay. God.

Jack: The wind pushed her because it Was part of the plan. She went to the top because Christ wanted to see his mom again. Some reason she was there. For some reason, she went up there. For some reason. That's where unicorns are. For some reason. That's why the Atlanteans come from that same spot. For some reason, out of the 2,000 people that live on that mountain, nobody goes up there.

Cristina: What? Yes. I don't know what any of this means, though, because nothing can be proven. Because no one could go there. So it doesn't matter.

Jack: Nobody could go there. Nope. What now about this mountain? Only men are allowed. We know this. Visitors rarely, except in very specific circumstance where there have been emperors throughout history who have quit being emperors to go to this mountain on record. They just leave their kingdom. They abandon their kingdom and they go to be monks on this mountain.

Cristina: Where are they from?

Jack: All over the world. They just abandon their kingdom, their power, their money, their wealth, their ease of life, and they go be monks on this mountain.

Cristina: How do they even hear about it.

Jack: When asked why they stay there? The medicine grown from the fauna and the flora brings them health, intellect and wisdom. This is in documents. They've said these words. Almost all of them have. Now, let me point out what I have just said. Very importantly that you listen to this again, because unicorns, the flora and the fauna. See, it wasn't just the flora. It wasn't just. I picked up a plant.

Cristina: No. Magical animals.

Jack: Magical animals. Medicine from some creature is making you more intelligent, healthier and wiser.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: More so than any power you have acquired, than any building you have, than any money you have, than all the women that would throw themselves at you. Then you run entire countries and you're like, no, you guys can have it. I'm gonna go over there.

Cristina: How common are the unicorns up there? What? Or anything else that's up there. Like maybe all animals.

Jack: Not one of these emperors has ever gone to the summit.

Cristina: But you have to get to the summit to get some unicorn. Alcor. Whatever.

Jack: Alicorn.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Not one of them has ever been up there. Let me go on to point out the next weirdest part of this fact. Nobody. Not one. Not one of the texts from any of these monasteries on this mountain so much as hint to the existence of a unicorn. Every bit has been from people who left it, Nothing from the people who stayed.

Cristina: They have Fight Club rules.

Jack: Not even amongst each other. Do they talk about it.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Fight Club couldn't even keep that going.

Cristina: Oh, no. Huh?

Jack: But again, they literally don't even go to the Top. So they must really. I mean, it's monk's discipline is their thing.

Cristina: Yeah. Like they're not even going up there to get that book.

Jack: Nope. And it's. They swear it's theirs.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And they argue with it and they try to get the individual who is allowed up there to go get it. Go get it belongs to us.

Cristina: But they're not gonna do that.

Jack: You go get it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: No. It's either too dangerous or actually sacred in some manner, shape or form that we don't understand.

Cristina: If it is sacred in some weird way, like maybe it was an accident that that book even showed up there. Like, they probably didn't purposely put it there. But now that it's there, they can't get it back.

Jack: Whoever goes up there can bring it back if they wanted to.

Cristina: But no one does go up there.

Jack: In the Last thousand years, 20 individuals have gone up there. And this book has been updated all the time.

Jack: They have all been Christian. Every single one who's gone up there is part of the Orthodox Christians. It was not the Russians. It was not the Bulgarians. It was not the Serbians. It was a hundred percent each time one of the Orthodox Christians who was allowed to the top. It was only one at a time. And throughout the course of a thousand years, there's only been 20 people who've been allowed up there. I don't know what merits or like, what why. I do not know why them?

Cristina: Are they bringing down some unicorn horns? That's a good question too. I don't know. Because there. There's something magical that's keeping them healthy and everything.

Jack: One important. I forgot to mention this very important detail that I just looked at this text and saw. Very, very important. I don't know why I forgot this part. This is probably one of the most important details about this. After Virgin Mary landed on the mountain island, because it's kind of an island and kind of a mountain. And she went to the summit. She got to the summit on a horse.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Very, very important because there are no natural horses on this mountain. According to the Orthodox Christians that run the mountain, there's no horses. There's no horses. There's cows. Well, bulls. But there's no horse. There wouldn't. It's a mountain. How the h*** would a horse survive? How do you go up the mountain on a horse? That's mainly rock. It's a rocky a** mountain.

Cristina: But everyone says there's unicorns up there.

Jack: Only people who've left and come down with it. Nobody on the mountain. Says anything about this. Okay, Every record that exists about unicorns on this mountain exists outside the mountain. There are records kept on the mountain and there is not one mention.

Cristina: How did you get this horse?

Jack: Where did the horse come from? You landed here by accident on a boat. You didn't have the horse with you. And it's a mountain. Dude, you don't even understand. Give me a second so I can show you a visual. Okay, so this is what that mountain looks like. This is a rocky f****** mountain.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You're either at the base of the mountain, and that's the only place you see trees and stuff. That's where the farmers are. That's where they're growing the things, the crops and whatever. And then you see how the mountain goes up and just the trees just cease. The nature just ceases. And then you get to the very, very tip and we're back to trees and back to nature. Now look at the steepness of this mountain. She rode a horse to the top.

Cristina: It doesn't make sense.

Jack: No, no, it doesn't. She rode a horse up a vertical.

Cristina: Unless vertical.

Jack: She rode a horse that can travel vertically.

Cristina: Which one was that? Which horse does that? I can't remember.

Jack: The unicorn.

Cristina: The unicorn, okay. Yes, yes.

Jack: The unicorn travels vertically. It could just run up nothing. She could literally ride it in a straight shot without having to take a single turn to the very top of the mountain. So, yeah, she rode a horse. That's part of that story. She rode a horse to the top of the mountain. You were on a boat. You didn't have a horse.

Cristina: If she had a unicorn, where would she get that from? Or maybe she just found the horse.

Jack: That could ride up the side of the mountain.

Jack: They didn't say unicorn. They do not say unicorn. They specifically don't say unicorn. It's just a horse, according to them. But also, you saw this f****** mountain.

Cristina: It was definitely a unicorn.

Jack: How else are you gonna get to the top of the mountain? The mountain just stops and becomes vertical. How are you gonna get to the top of the mountain on a horse?

Cristina: Unicorn, man. It has to be a unicorn.

Jack: It fits the narrative According to the descriptions of a horse that could run vertically.

Cristina: That's crazy. She has the unicorn and then she disappears into Atlantis. That's so weird.

Jack: Okay, I mean, looking at these details, I did come across John the Russian one more time. I didn't find additional information of any sort. He still talked about the same place, Getting it from the same thing. Just very. But there was one thing that didn't Seem important at the time that I didn't mention, because it's okay, it's in the mountain was my idea. But he specifically said that it came from the summit of the mountain.

Cristina: Oh, it didn't just come from the mountain.

Jack: Not just the mountain. He specifically said he got it from the summit of Mount Athos. Now, I didn't think that mattered in seeing it. I was like, oh, yeah, he did say that. I went ahead and I extract, you know, compressing information to make it through the episode. I just. Hey, was at the mountain. It didn't seem relevant to specify which part of the mountain. He just got it from the mountain, bro.

Cristina: Unless you know where exactly.

Jack: Okay, yes, he got it specifically his own words from the very top of the mountain.

Cristina: Okay. So there's definitely unicorns on top of that mountain. Something on top of that mountain, and probably Pegasus too. It's pretty cool.

Jack: Important that I say, John, because also the two records, the public records in the Greek records are also claiming it was from the summit.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now this creates an interesting problem because that means that in the last 300 years, at least three people who weren't supposed to be on the mountain went to the summit. Or somebody handed it to them. Somehow, some. Somehow they got something that was from the top.

Cristina: Even though no one's allowed up there.

Jack: Even though no one's allowed up there. Did they sneak up there? Did somebody bring it down from up there? The people who live on the mountain aren't allowed up there, but they do say that people do come down from up there. Now, nobody lives up there. There's nobody up there. So the people who go up there, they believe land up there and then come down or that is what they tell us.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That they land up there on their Pegasus and then they come down. That could totally be the case.

Cristina: If that's not.

Jack: Then they're just popping up there and coming down.

Cristina: Oh, okay. But he's not popping up there.

Jack: We don't know. We just know that they got it from the summit.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That's it. We know three individuals got alicorn from the summit. That's it. That's the extent of our knowledge in this area.

Cristina: Okay. We don't know how it just happened.

Jack: Yep. So that's what I got. That's what I found about this mountain.

Cristina: This magical, non magical mountain. That is crazy.

Jack: I mean, I don't know. I don't know. We know there's a bunch of artifacts. We don't know if they're still magic. We don't Know if the summit is magic or isn't magic or is the.

Cristina: Only place so much secrets. It's just a secretive. Secretive.

Jack: It's a secret mountain.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: With a bunch of fuzzy details that have been snuck out. And we have to connect it with the details that have been speculated and the crap that they decide to tell us.

Cristina: That's amazing.

Jack: Mount Athos is also, because of this Virgin Mary story, the most sacred location for orthodox Christians.

Cristina: Of course. What? Interesting. It's very interesting and weird. And what? Is she still there? What is she doing? Like what?

Jack: And he has hard, hard Garden of Eden vibes.

Cristina: Yes. It's definitely connected somehow. Yeah.

Jack: Somehow. Arguably. Maybe the same way that whatever's happening in the Bermuda Triangle connects to it. Maybe this is the same kind of idea that the Bermuda Triangle. We know what. There's nothing there. But there's also something there.

Cristina: There's something protecting something.

Jack: Yeah. And things can go and you'll see nothing. But you cross some threshold and pop up somewhere. That sounds literally like what they're describing about this mountain.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Which would say maybe the Garden of Eden has many entryways.

Cristina: That makes sense.

Jack: All being protected one way or another.

Cristina: That is interesting. I wonder if there's any crazy airplane stories around this mountain.

Jack: Interesting. Like. There are. Because there's has to be curiosity. Right. People just like, let me see.

Cristina: Wow. Okay.

Jack: So that's the story of Mount Athos. That's what I could find it. Very vague. It seems like the deeper I dig, the more vague and indirect the information becomes.

Cristina: But there's something there.

Jack: Something there for sure.

Cristina: Just. It was so little, but it's still something somehow. The secret is still. It's not well kept. No, it's really well kept, actually. Yes. But isn't it still there?

Jack: It's still there. We know there's something there.

Cristina: Something slipped.

Jack: We don't know what the h*** is there.

Cristina: Nope.

Jack: According to anybody who manages to go up and come down. Unicorns. That's all they got to say. Unicorns they don't talk about. Oh, the Atlanteans are up there. No, the people on the mountain told us that story. People outside the mountain speculate about it, but people on the mountain tells us those stories. That's what they want us to think. That's what they want us to know. Those are details they're feeding us.

Cristina: Why would they want feed us that. That's so strange. It's all strange.

Jack: They're also okay with us knowing about Virgin Mary being on there. That's totally cool with them.

+Transcript

Cristina: 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: I'm your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd, baffling ideas. Like how weird it is that you can say Ben before Aflac, the bird from the. The insurance company. Affleck is insurance, right? Yeah, Affleck.

Cristina: No, I'm. Wait, what's his real name?

Jack: Affleck.

Cristina: And the insurance is Aflac. Are you sure? Is it that similar?

Jack: I. I think. Yeah, I think it's pretty close. I think Ben Affleck and Affleck bird might be one in the same. Now that I think about it, that's the same.

Cristina: That Affleck. Affleck. You know, it has an E, but.

Jack: There'S a T there too, right? Ben Affleck. No, it's just Ben Affleck.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Oh, crap. It's closer than I thought. And then it's Insurance.

Cristina: Affleck, Aflac. Affleck. Oh, my God.

Jack: Oh, my God. Ben Affleck.

Cristina: He was a goose all along.

Jack: He was a goose all along.

Cristina: Is that a goose?

Jack: I think so. Yeah. It's either a goose or a duck or something.

Cristina: Looks like a big duck. But.

Jack: But look, the point is this shows about getting down to the bottom of things. And, like, what better way to start than by assuring the listeners that Ben Affleck was a goose all along.

Cristina: No, I think. Is it. I'm so confused.

Jack: It could be a duck. It could be a duck. It could be a duck. I don't, like, have a clear. A visual. Oh, no, that's a duck.

Cristina: That's a duck. Yeah, man.

Jack: There is an actual Ben Affleck. Good times. Internet is always the winner. Nothing wins against the Internet. But.

Cristina: But we were not the only person on to come up with Ben Affleck and Ben Affleck.

Jack: No, it just checks out. It makes sense as a thing. But that being said, we. Not last episode. Because last episode, the random spiral into no man's land that I embarked on happened. But before that episode, we were dealing with unicorns.

Cristina: The last episode wasn't unicorns also. No, no. It was about the world. Okay. Ancient stuff.

Jack: Yeah. I was led there by unicorns.

Cristina: Yes. Okay.

Jack: But unicorn was not the point of that episode. But two episodes back, unicorns was the point. And I was supposed to jump on the search that I had just done for this for today, for now. But again, I got sidetracked into a bunch of ancient civilizations But I actually did what I said, which was go look. You wanted to know about proof.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Of what things had unicorns done to.

Cristina: Count them as magical.

Jack: To count them as magical.

Cristina: So far, it's just we see them, therefore they're magical. Which makes no sense.

Jack: Well, I have a fascinating, fascinating series of things. And then I have an ancient civilization for you. Another one that happens to have kept enough records to have the mention of unicorn repeatedly.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And such well kept records, in fact, that we can trace people and their movements across the globe if we wanted to. So I did.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: You're gonna be blown away by where this goes, but let's start. Let's start.

Cristina: How many of these have to do with virgins?

Jack: I totally ignored the versions route.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Did it pop up a lot?

Jack: But it was almost the same thing. It was starting to get to the point where it was like, this wasn't really thought out. It really just felt like the fantasy of the time, you know?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like now, dude, you're like, yeah, I want to get pegged by my chick. But back then it was like, I want my chick to be on a unicorn or get f***** by a unicorn or I don't know, something like that. Okay, but not the point. The unicorn was actually mentioned directly in the Bible.

Cristina: Really? But some other mythical animals too, probably.

Jack: Yes, many other mythical animals. Which then establishes the fact that unicorns were what they were talking about because they weren't being confused by the other things they mentioned with horns. Okay, so they were really just that. But also, fair enough. The Bible has just a bunch of fantasy crap happening everywhere. Yes, but in the book Numbers 23:22 specifically says, God brought them out of Egypt. He hath, as it were, the strength of a unicorn. Interesting.

Cristina: So they're saying unicorns are strong. That's not magical, but magical.

Jack: No, that's just because horses are strong.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Any random horse with a defective skull that has a protrusion from it could still just be equally strong as a horse.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And in the Cheronomy 33:17 mentioned again, his glory is like the fist, the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns. Again, nothing special going on there. Just two instances. But I'll get to the magic.

Cristina: The point is that I found unicorns being mentioned. But in the second one, who are they talking about? Do you have any idea?

Jack: No, I was just looking for mentions of the situation specifically. Like, is there unicorns in this text?

Cristina: Okay, there is.

Jack: Yes. Something really weird that I found the absence of And I looked.

Cristina: What?

Jack: And I looked through all the holes I usually do when I can't find something. Like the dark spots. Not a single shred of unicorns mentioned alongside adrenochrome.

Jack: Which after Harry Potter. Makes perfect sense that somebody would think that up.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Nowhere.

Cristina: Nothing about their own blood, though, being used?

Jack: No, no, no. Their blood is used, but it's not adrenochrome.

Cristina: Does it work the same?

Jack: Doesn't seem like it. It has features, but not.

Cristina: It's not the same for sure.

Jack: For sure. So unicorn blood first. It's a thick golden substance.

Cristina: It's cold.

Jack: Interesting thick golden substance. And it's used primarily in potions of sorts. Spell casting potions, specifically, not drinking potions.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And it's quite often used to create a vessel, a body for disembodied soul. It's how you make a functional homunculus. If you can drag the soul out, you just form the body. They were making a body but not having the soul.

Cristina: Wait, yeah.

Jack: You can make a soul. To put.

Cristina: So then that story of that guy who was selling it to people, was he just saying, like, it could cure you or whatever? That's what people thought. Like, when they drunk it and then, like, they die. Can he jump in? No. I guess. When he dies, can he jump into their bodies?

Jack: No. There needs to be somebody conducting a spell.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: As far as we know, he's like.

Cristina: What if he made a spell? I don't know how.

Jack: Yes. Like, in theory, you could probably create some sort of trap spell. Yes. Yeah, but that would be quite elaborate. Yes, but it's possible. It couldn't be, like, written off as impossible. If we're talking magic as possible, then yes, a trap spell would by default be. And yeah, he could hack somebody's house. He could put lie about what he's giving somebody.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: And then have a link of some sort that allows them to. Yeah, but sure, possible. Definitely. But it's mainly used from a magic standpoint when you're making the body.

Cristina: When you're making a body, you have.

Jack: To make an artificial body. It's not to move somebody.

Cristina: Oh, what? You're making a body?

Jack: You're making a body. That's why I used a homunculus as an example. You're making a body.

Cristina: But how do you make a body?

Jack: With the potion and the magic. It's a spell of sorts.

Cristina: It makes a body.

Jack: You use the potion. Yes. And the other parts of the spell to manifest a body. A body for a soul.

Cristina: Okay, that's weird. What?

Jack: There's probably a spell we can look up and do if you needed to know it on a granular level.

Cristina: No, but it just. Magic equals body. I don't.

Jack: Yeah. It would be like if you started waving a wand over an empty area, and then a bunch of light started to begin, and then it overtook the spot, and then the light fades and.

Cristina: There'S just either horrifying, but okay.

Jack: Yeah. And then you move a soul into it, giving it consciousness.

Cristina: So this spell is, like, ridiculous, because it's not just making you a body, it's also, like, you could put whatever soul you want into that body.

Jack: Yeah, well, it needs to be a soul that doesn't have a body.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Somebody dead.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jack: So. Yeah, it's overpowered. Unicorn crap is overpowered. The. This is overpowered. It is. If you were to drink the same blood, you would be immortal.

Cristina: Drinking the unicorn's blood will make you immortal?

Jack: Yep. One shot. One shot, you're just mortal.

Cristina: Then why would you even waste your magic on making a body? I guess, like, if you're trying to bring someone back to life. Yeah, I guess. Okay, that makes sense.

Jack: Yes. That is the way that I think that would be most likely. You.

Cristina: Yes. Yes. Because I'm thinking about yourself. Like, why would you do that? If you could just drink the blood and live forever, why would you move into another body now?

Jack: The horn can be used to grant immortality as well, but only as long as you're regularly consuming teas made from the powder. So a potion, Essentially. As long as you're consuming the potion made by Alicorn, you will remain immortal. So it needs to stay in your system and it will keep you immortal.

Cristina: Is that. Somehow I don't get why that would be the option. If you have the option of the blood or the horns, unless you're. I guess it's more reasonable because what if you do want to die? At least you have the option.

Jack: You have the option. While you drink the blood, you're just screwed. Yeah.

Cristina: Yeah. So that kind of makes sense.

Jack: Yeah. Interesting other things about the horn. Holding it gives you infinite energy. As long as you're in contact with it, you are some savage of sorts. It's not even drinking it. This is contact with the horn, Just touching it.

Cristina: I need a horn. What?

Jack: Yeah. Endless stamina. It makes the. Holding. It just holding it makes the holder capable of seeing magic auras. You could tell what beings are magic beings by holding. By being in contact with this. These are abilities just for touching it?

Cristina: Yeah. There's more than One, I guess there's two so far, but is there more?

Jack: Yeah. If you were to drink from the horn, you would cure any ailment. You don't even need alicorn.

Cristina: You just putting something into the horn and then drinking.

Jack: Yeah. Pour water into it and drink the water. The water's been purified.

Cristina: And then you feel better, and then.

Jack: You will heal poisoning or any disease you've gotten.

Cristina: Who's testing all this out?

Jack: This is just stories from history. A lot of them are Greek.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Holding it halts aging as well. Again, the immortality. But not just you won't die, but you won't age either, as long as you're in contact with. You're not aging for that period of time.

Cristina: Okay, so if you just decide to drink the. The blood, you will live forever, but you'll still be aging.

Jack: I'm assuming that with the blood, you've got pure immortality. Like, that's age. And you're not dying while coming in contact with this keeps you young and keeps you like it's. Yeah, it's immortality again, as long as you're touching it. Yeah, but as you stop touching it.

Cristina: You'Re mortal again, undrinking from it. Not drinking from the powder.

Jack: Drinking the powder regularly would keep you from aging for that period of time and will keep you from dying from any natural causes for that time.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Now, teas made and potions made from the horn can heal anything nice. Of course, they provide special abilities of different sorts, depending on who drinks it. That's the closest. Yeah, that's the closest thing to adrenochrome that I could find. But it doesn't seem like anybody becomes dependent on it.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: The closest thing to dependency is needing to ritually drink the thing. But again, if you just choose that you want to die, you still have the option. So there's reasons to stop taking it. This specifically, if you drink the powder. Yeah. You actually get eternal youth separate from immortality. So maybe you don't have eternal youth after you drank the blood. Maybe you do just have immortality. There is a difference. Unless it's establishing that there is a difference here between the two things. You can make a tea that will give you mortality, and you can make a tea that will give you youth. While drinking the blood gives you both youth and immortality. And being in contact with it, as long as you're in contact with it gives you both the things.

Cristina: That sounds so complicated that drinking it. You can get different things. But it's like, is it because you're making it differently it's in your body.

Jack: You're touching it in one aspect, it's part of you in the other. Now, something we did not consider, didn't cross my mind last time, is unicorn tears is apparently a thing.

Cristina: What do you mean? Like, people drink unicorn tears?

Jack: Yes. The unicorn tears is the equivalent of drinking unicorn blood. So in theory, you could trap a unicorn.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And drink its tears to acquire the same things you would get from the blood.

Cristina: That is so awful you could sell.

Jack: It if you wanted to. In fact, that is the only other thing I know that has been sold other than alicorn.

Cristina: Someone's selling unicorn tears?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: What is it? A merchant? It's a merchant that travels.

Jack: No, no. There's a whole complex story going on with that. Now, another interesting thing about this tear, which I'm assuming happens with the blood as well, but I'm thinking people are greedy with the blood because it's a one shotter, as opposed to the tears, which you can probably continue to milk. But a single teardrop can. Can heal thousands of people. That's the level of potency it has. You can continue to make from that one thing.

Cristina: That's crazy. How do you even. Like how.

Jack: Now, interesting part about that. There is a town in Greece.

Cristina: That's exactly what I thought you were going to say. Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Called.

Jack: Where is the name of this town?

Cristina: Unicornia.

Jack: Unicornia. It's called Simia or something like that. It's the weirdest name.

Cristina: Smurf. Are they blue?

Jack: Oh, no. Okay, so it was in a poros. There was a. What was I trying to tell you?

Cristina: Something happened in a town in Greece. I don't know.

Jack: What was it we were talking about specifically? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a illness going around, and a single teardrop was dropped into a pond, and it healed the. And all the people living off of that water later, attracting some interesting people, which I'll get to in a moment. Let me just go over some of these last details about unicorns. You want specific instances of unicorns being magic outside of their body parts, being used for things?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: There have been unicorns. Let's see. They can heal wounds by touching it with their horn. People have gone into the woods seeking what they have referred to as the. The. The. The forest spirit, which has been described as a horned horse.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: And they go there to be healed, be touched by its sacred horn. And they come back. The unicorn in all of these instances is one with a spiral horn, not just a pointy one.

Cristina: Are there different types of unicorns?

Jack: Could be. Not entirely sure. Similar to the instance of its tears purifying the water in Poros. There's also a unicorn that would regularly walk over a lake in the Persian Gulf, which, ironically, we just talked about as well, when we were talking about ancient civilizations. And where it would walk would be purified and clear, and people would drink that water and people would use that water to heal.

Cristina: Any mentions of anyone having them as.

Jack: Pets, I did not see anything about that.

Cristina: They all just wild.

Jack: Yeah. Because the other interesting thing, which is what I'm getting to now, is that they seem to be capable of not just being elusive out in the wild and outpacing anything trying to see them, but if they happen to be cornered, they can just disappear in front of you.

Cristina: Then how did people get their blood, their horn?

Jack: It's tricky.

Cristina: That's gotta be really tricky.

Jack: Yeah. You got.

Cristina: Again, it's that rare, a dying unicorn.

Jack: Because they're immortal themselves. If they can just be in front of you and not see you, you have an advantage. It's. It's this rare. It's that level of rarity.

Cristina: I wonder if they can heal their horn, though, like, if these people are.

Jack: I'm sure if you got the horn, you killed the thing. I'm sure. That said, at that point, you're using all of its parts, and we're talking about the effectiveness of all its parts.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Because I don't think you'd be able to take its horn and it be alive and conscious. Now, another interesting thing about unicorns, which again, adds to the elusive. They can walk defying gravity. Unicorn can move vertically as if it were walking on the ground. And almost all the Greek stories have that being the instance of it eluding people. You chase it through the woods, and at some point it just starts becoming a little more vertical, and it just up, up, up, and now just above the trees, and you can't catch it.

Cristina: That's funny.

Jack: Yeah. So it's like if it's not outpacing you on the ground and somehow you kept up. Okay. It'll just alter its degree enough to.

Cristina: That's very interesting to see.

Jack: Yeah. So those are some of. And now every single one of those things I've told you come from a Greek source. All of them.

Cristina: Okay. Different sources or.

Jack: Yeah, different sources. Okay, so let's begin. When we were talking about unicorns, we talked about the merchant.

Cristina: Yes. He's coming back.

Jack: The merchant's coming back. Apparently, my mistake was looking through these more public records that were of people's direct Sighting as opposed to looking through actual documents kept. Because when you go through actual documents kept, this man has been tracked. And people were kind of confused and interested in this man. He's been mentioned and he's been in a lot of places. So let us begin with where the first mention of this guy is.

Cristina: Do we have any of his writing? Did he keep any stories or anything? The pizza fun later on?

Jack: No, he just seems to have been a merchant. I don't know if he was even literate because of which you'll see here. Okay, so the merchant in question has a name and his name is Antonio Dracos.

Cristina: That's a very strange name.

Jack: Translates to dragon. Antonio Dragon.

Cristina: He definitely deals with the dread of. With that type of name.

Jack: Hey, who knows? But let us go to where this starts to matter. It is 1730. This is nine years before we had sightings of him in 1739.

Cristina: How many years?

Jack: Nine years prior to the information I provided last time we talked about this man. So this documentation, all of these are just random records kept by record keepers of different sorts. I don't know the relevance or the importance of any of the records. There was a lot. A lot like I was trying to.

Cristina: You have locations?

Jack: Yes, sometimes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They're all happening in Greece. All the records are being in Captain Greece. His movements are tracked because I guess when he returns, he reports his activities. I'm not sure what the case might be. So 19, I mean 1730, Antonio Dracos is given what he was told was unicorn horn at the Jordan river by a Russian man claiming it was from a mountain in Greece. The Russian man handed the horn over prior to his death at the hands of the military. There is no further explanation at what the f***. Why he was being attacked by the military.

Cristina: So this random dude gave the merchant the unicorn that he just uses? Not the unicorn, but the uniform horn that he gives to everyone else.

Jack: Yes. Interesting. Presumably he receives this horn because he's a merchant. And the guy is just like here, there's actually his name, his Russian man named John.

Cristina: John.

Jack: Yeah. I don't know why he was John, but yeah, his name was John. And this Russian man named John was claiming it came from a mountain in Greece, hands it to him and tells him it's the horn of a unicorn. There's no specification if he was told what to do with it or anything.

Cristina: That's so weird. He was just. Well, I mean, who knows? He's just. That's all that they have.

Jack: Yes. And he could not press forward and ask more because the man who provided it, the Russian man, was murdered shortly after by the military. So he couldn't find out, like, what did you hand me and why?

Cristina: Yes, but he figured it out. I'm guessing if he was giving it to people.

Jack: That's unclear.

Cristina: What's unclear?

Jack: Any of this information I provided before, it was all non professional records.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The closest to professional we had was the captain of the ship. The rest of them were just people writing in journals, essentially, old records that somebody retrieved, put away and like somehow successfully matched it to the.

Cristina: He said that he saw him give it to people or he was. Just saw him offering it and he assumed.

Jack: Yes, he made the connection. He didn't. He didn't see any of the of happen.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: He like, definitely saw situations that were suspicious and he's like. It seemed like it would be the thing.

Cristina: And these stories, the new stories that are actually the older stories that you're bringing up, he doesn't sell it to anyone.

Jack: You would find out when we arrive at that point.

Cristina: But you just said that he doesn't.

Jack: I said he. I didn't say he doesn't hand it out.

Cristina: Sure.

Jack: Yeah. But anyways, so that happened in 1730. He receives it from a random Russian guy, no idea where it came from, gets told it's from Greece. He's Greek.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: By the way, he's Greek. And. Yeah, okay, fine. So two years go by before this is mentioned again. Mm, weird.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: This is like a ridiculous amount of time for you to have something crazy like this. The next mention is 1732. Dracos delivers the horn to a priest, Nicolas Severino Albini. Nicolas Averillo Albini in Poros, Greece, which is one of the people attracted by the lake that was purified by the alleged tears of Anacorn. He was led there because of that.

Cristina: The priest.

Jack: Priest was led to that lake because of that, where Dracos then goes and meets the priest. So the priest has been there for a while. He was drawn to that lake because something odd that happened there. Now, while at that lake, he uses the horn to repurify it. And it works.

Cristina: What does that even mean? Like, how can they tell that it's being purified?

Jack: Well, according to them, yeah, according to them, it was toxic water. It was foggy, it was dirty, it was not safe. And then they touched it with the unicorn horn and it became clear instantaneously.

Cristina: Then he tried to steal it.

Jack: Well, it was definitely an illuminating moment. So now they claim it purified the hot spring. It was A natural spring that was there and it didn't heal this man. But in doing that, because again, he was drawn there by like, this is holy water of some sort, but it never turned out to be holy. While he was there is a priest looking for something related to God and he gets here. And this is a dirty lake that was said to be purified. Well, when the spring is purified, a man named, a bishop actually named Lackavos II was suffering a lot of pain and ill. And the spring fully healed this man according to both Dracos and the priest.

Cristina: Okay, what was he dying from?

Jack: Not dying, but he just had illnesses of the past that are probably easily dealt with with like an aspirin, but back then would just murder you.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So yeah, the following year, 1733, that's.

Cristina: The end of that story.

Jack: This is just random.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Things that show up here and there. Dracos and Albini still hanging out together.

Cristina: It seems cool. Okay. That's what I wanted to know.

Jack: Established a research organization and disguised it as an evangelical school.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The sole purpose was to bring the greatest minds in the world and study the horn, which according to the priest, possessed ability to define nature. That was specifically in a record in quotes. That was direct quote from the priest. Possessed the ability to defy nature was the words that man used.

Cristina: So he thinks it's magical.

Jack: He thinks it's magical. He did not at any moment say it's from God.

Cristina: Yeah, that's what I was about to say.

Jack: Now I respect this priest for not making that conclusion by default.

Cristina: That's so weird that he didn't.

Jack: But that's really weird that he didn't. But it's also weird that he would pull people other than other priests. Yeah, he was already open minded. He was looking for any perspective. What are we looking at?

Cristina: Yeah, but that's just crazy because you would assume he would just connect the dots to God without needing any or. Well, no, it being evil.

Jack: Like religion is a cult today. And religion was a cult surrounding the ideology of Jesus in a specific form. But religion has not always been the case. Isaac Newton was a Catholic. You know, Christians have been some of the most open minded people in the world and the most progressive people in the world. It's the cultists that believe that science is not a gift from God, but rather that despite all your scientific advancements, God is. It's like, no, okay. Everything could have been God, all of it, even the things we've made. So chill. Scientists believe of the old believe that logic.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The Enlightenment era was filled with that idea that, well, how do we supersede the sciences and religions? Well, let's dive headfirst into the philosophies.

Cristina: Okay. And they made a school.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: So explore the. What it could do.

Jack: Yes. They made a school with the intent of attracting the greatest minds, bring them together and in. Just figure this thing out. Now, it's really interesting that this would be happening around the 1730s to 1740s, because 1730s to about 1760s is considered the Enlightenment here. Interesting that this thing would start moving right at the beginning of that bracket. And you'll notice that it cuts it kind of close to the very end that we mark as the end of the Alienman era. Weird coincidence.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The plot thickens now. Two more years go by, man.

Cristina: Okay, yeah.

Jack: Now he's been with his horn for five years.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: 1735 on its way to a study collective along the Russian Turkish border. Word gets out about an object capable of granting immortality. Leaders and the military on either side of the border immediately try to acquire the horn, taking the lives of several of the scholars in the process.

Cristina: Oh, snap.

Jack: Okay, Draco and Albini go on the run. They're still together so far. Nice buddy cop situation going on. Bromance. Yes. I looked into different. Oh, by the way, again, I don't know. These are just records. But weirdly enough, this ties into a lot of real things that happened at the same time.

Cristina: Like what?

Jack: There was a Russian guy named John who was a really important, like, religious figure. The records don't make any attempt to connect the two dots. So it could just. This is probably just a different guy who's Russian named John, but another Russian guy named John. It was another Russian guy named John. Okay, yeah, that was weird coincidence.

Cristina: Was there another guy named Antonio or whatever his name is?

Jack: Dracos. No, that's the only one I found of him. I only found one because I did go. I had the same thought, like, is this being stolen from throughout the world? I only found one priest called Nico. I could confirm his existence. I could confirm. A lot of the stuff here is just how some of this sticks out. And it's like, man, it's totally possible this guy was that guy over there. And like, well, this is just a record. This problem. This guy had to be objective. He couldn't put religion into it. And he just saw a guy who did a thing and whatever recorded it. Meanwhile, that biblical figure over there did the same thing. And it's like this guy recorded an actual record about something in The Bible. It's like, holy crap, dude. So some of that was happening.

Cristina: Okay, yeah, yeah.

Jack: Like solid records about things like that. And like. Yeah. So the. The Russian John, biblical figure.

Cristina: The Russian. Yeah, Named John.

Jack: The Russian named John, biblical figure. Now, not the same guy because it seems like gap.

Cristina: Wait, they're both Russian?

Jack: They're both Russian, yes. But there's a gap between them. Okay, yeah, like the. Basically you look up the Russian John, some sort of bishop, and he was. He died in the. In like 120.

Cristina: So the merchant and the bishop or whatever he is, the priest. Priests are both Russian.

Jack: No, they're Greek. I think I know that. Antonio Dracos is Greek.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah, I think Nikolai might be. He was either Irish or something like that.

Cristina: I don't remember. Oh, okay.

Jack: He's just traveling scholars for the most part. So they just met him West Bubba or whatever. Actually, no, he might be himself. Greek. I think they're both Greek. I'm not entirely sure.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: But yeah.

Cristina: So they're on the run.

Jack: Yeah, they go on the run following the. Okay, now again, I'm looking. My point of saying this is that I'm looking, you know, I'm confirming things. I'm trying to make sure that these records aren't just bull crap. And yes, there was a crazy war that happened in between Russia and Turkey. Allegedly a political war that was erupted by an unknown situation directly happening at the border, which in these records happen to have a unicorn horn traveling right down the middle. And then two different sides spaz out and try to attack. So there's actually confirmation that a war broke out about some object. Unclear what it was, object or circumstance. Something happened in between both borders that immediately set things off. They claimed it was all political related.

Cristina: But it could be unicorn or related.

Jack: Yeah. Because this thing lines up perfectly in official records.

Cristina: Mm What? How far does their story go?

Jack: We will find out as it progresses.

Cristina: But like, it's a long story.

Jack: It's a story.

Cristina: Now.

Jack: It was last time we hear from them in 1735. Now it is 1739. This is where we had our first note from the people that I provided as sources last time. Like, because we saw him from 1739.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: To 1741 in three countries touching each other. Now we've just been traveling all over the place. Russia, Turkey.

Cristina: We were in Greece, but they're all still. Those are relatively close.

Jack: Just farther than we traveled before. But now he also has a lot more time to get from one place to another, because we're talking 10 years from one point to another. Yeah, so there's that. This makes a lot more sense. But 1739, Albini is killed.

Cristina: Which one's Albini?

Jack: He is the priest.

Cristina: Priest. Okay.

Jack: And the horn is believe lost, ending a great conflict that had begun between Russia and Turkey, of course, which literally ended around that point. Confirmable both in this unrelated record and in the actual records of war.

Cristina: But that's weird because there's still a guy with a unicorn horn. Like, why did they stop? Did they think when they killed that.

Jack: Guy disappeared, they couldn't find it?

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It just. Poof.

Cristina: That's crazy. Okay.

Jack: Yes. 1740. This is the second time we see him. While hiding out in the island of Chios in Greece, Drakos meets a man named John. A different man named John claims to have come in contact with a unicorn horn ages ago. Warns Drakos that simply touching it has drastically affected his life. Now, this was unclear if he meant him touching it or you touching it has affected your life.

Cristina: Now it sounds like time travel.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: I don't know if it's somehow the same guy you mentioned. Like, the dead coming back and stuff. Like. Is this John? Did he come back?

Jack: No, this is. He knew John.

Cristina: This John, though.

Jack: Yeah. This isn't the Russian John.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Some other guy who's experienced weird things with the unicorn.

Jack: Yes. He says it's been a long time. Like ages ago, I experienced an encounter with a unicorn horn. You've messed up.

Cristina: But how? He doesn't explain what?

Jack: No, these are just almost like blurbs, essentially. Record keeping was whack back then, but then again, this was also the most advanced level of recording.

Cristina: This would be the closest to, like, it can do bad. It could be similar to adrenochrome, but.

Jack: Yeah, totally didn't specify any of that. Yeah, some weird middle ground, essentially. But we go then a little farther. So he meets a guy named John. And this guy named John, direct, straight, goes to the residence of a theologian and philosopher, Vilkentios de Mados. There he meets a carpenter as well, who went by the name of Harrison.

Cristina: Okay, I thought you say John again, but okay.

Jack: No. So we got the models and we.

Cristina: Have Harrison Carpenter and a what again?

Jack: A carpenter. And the other one is a theologian and philosopher. And he meets them there as directed by John, who then saw him with the horn and it's like, you messed up, but okay, you need the next lead. Go that way. That's where you need to go with this thing now. Okay. There are many people who have Seen unicorn horns at this point. We have the guy who gave it to him. We have the people he's shown it to. Philosophers. Entire collective of people who got together. Yeah. Just trying to study this thing in secrecy without the word getting out. We saw what happened the second. The second the word got out.

Cristina: Countries at war.

Jack: Countries at war. Instantaneously.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So this is an interesting problem. To have to own this thing. That seems to be the real deal.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And not know what to do with it. You can't. Obviously you can't. Just. My. My idea here is Draco's. Keeps wandering with this thing because he doesn't want it to fall into the wrong hands. That's my theory. Because why is he still traveling with this thing?

Cristina: Yes. But he still wants to show it to people too.

Jack: He wants to study it. He hasn't shown it to strangers. He's always taking it to the next person who should see it. Not a stranger.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It's always the next individual that should see it. That's somebody who has a different perspective. Somebody who studies things. Somebody who's experienced in some manner, shape, or form related to some manner, shape or form of something they've seen similar. It's weird that no hunters are mentioned in the story or anything of that nature, because that seems like something that would make perfect sense.

Cristina: Yes. I still wonder, like, what was that warning about?

Jack: What was the warning about? That's unclear. This man is like bad luck for you, bro. Alternatively, one of the things you get from touching the horn is you have infinite luck while you're in contact with it. That was actually one of the abilities. Luck. Go gamble while holding that horn. It's going to work out.

Cristina: That's awesome. Okay. I mean, I guess the only. The only real bad luck is people trying to kill you.

Jack: Yeah. Which is happening instantaneously. And they lost many intelligent minds because of their presence around it.

Cristina: Mm. I don't know. It's tricky.

Jack: Interesting problem. Right?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So this thing has traveled quite the distance. There's been a million places. And 1950 rolls by after he's met Demon. This is. This is the leap. This is a 10 year jump. The last time we hear from him, he came. He came. It was 1740. We only hear from him. Following the last note is the captain's logs for his ship. And that's only one year after this point. Which means we have no record of him from 1741 to 1750. And then all we have is in 1750, the Draco dies. According to the models, as a result of an experiment conducted on the remaining fragments of the horn. Something.

Cristina: Say that again.

Jack: Dracos dies according to the mottos.

Cristina: Which one's the models?

Jack: The philosopher, theologian. He. As a result of an experiment conducted on the remaining fragments of the horn. What happened in the nine years? Where's the rest of it? Why is it fragmented?

Cristina: Well, he's been testing out that whole time.

Jack: Fair enough. You're thinking this whole time it's just these people and whoever else. Like scientists and philosophers that could get together just working on it quietly telling nobody because it was just too dangerous to have out there.

Cristina: Okay, but what? That doesn't even make sense because it's supposed to keep you alive forever. But somehow he died from it.

Jack: I. Something happened relative to it. We don't know what Draco said it was. Dimato said it was part of an experiment.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So it could have might have not been the horn. Maybe he's too much energy shot out of the thing at once and killed him. Who knows? Harrison still with them? The carpenter. Weird.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Takes one third of the remaining fragments back. Actually, no. Takes 2/3 of the remaining fragments back to England and leaves one third for the models. Divides those two thirds he took into two sets. One to remain in England and the other is given to an American named Franklin. Spread between these two countries. Why don't I.

Cristina: What's this Franklin?

Jack: Dunno. Some connection of Harrison.

Cristina: What? It's so random. This carpenter just decides I'm gonna take it. I'm gonna give it to this other guy.

Jack: Been with these two other people and who knows how many others for the last nine years.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He's not just a carpenter.

Cristina: But what is he planning to do? Did they say.

Jack: Now we don't hear from any of these people directly anymore. We have a gap. That record was in 1750, 1810.

Cristina: How many years is that?

Jack: That is 60 years later.

Cristina: Someone's. Okay. What's going on?

Jack: A Greek record written by a macarios claims a man named Euthymius was in possession of a substance similar to one he studied in his youth under a man named Dracos in the early 1950s. And that Euthymius claims he got it from a mountain named Athos.

Cristina: Mountain?

Jack: A mountain named Athos? I confirmed that is a mountain in Greece.

Cristina: Okay, but I thought the original guy got it on a mountain in Russia.

Jack: Then he got on the mountain Greece.

Cristina: The first guy.

Jack: Yes. You are talking about the Russian.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And the Russian specifically says he got it from a mountain in Greece.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: And now we have another Guy claiming he has shown up with something identical from a mountain in Greece.

Cristina: So unicorns are hanging out on mountaintops?

Jack: Mountaintops in Greece, apparently so. That's weird.

Cristina: That is weird. But it's right, I guess. I mean, that's. If you're gonna find them somewhere like that. Seems like where they like to be.

Jack: Yeah, I guess it would be.

Cristina: We gotta go there.

Jack: Well, I looked up Makarios, and it was either in 1812 or 1813, that man died.

Cristina: Which one's Macario?

Jack: He's the guy who wrote the record.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Oh, no. My bad. I didn't. Makarios was the record writer. The guy who died was Euthemius, the.

Cristina: Guy who went to the mountain.

Jack: The guy who got the unicorn from the. The horn. The horn from the mountain or the material. Whatever. He got the thing from the mountain. He was executed by the church two, three years later.

Cristina: The church.

Jack: The church.

Cristina: Interesting. Yes. And because the unicorn, even if he had some of the unicorn stuff, it doesn't keep you alive forever.

Jack: No. You have to be in contact with it, or you have to drink the unicorn's blood. He did not acquire this horn. He. He was in possession of it. Otherwise he would have been immortal.

Jack: I guess immortality means they could have.

Cristina: Taken away from him and then he stopped being immortal.

Jack: I guess you could still die if you're immortal. My thought is you're just not gonna die of natural causes your age. But, like, I could walk up and shoot you with a gun, right?

Cristina: Yes. I don't know. They aren't really specific.

Jack: It never said they're bulletproof or something, you know, like my blade could not pierce his skin or anything. That was never mentioned.

Cristina: Yeah. There's so far no mention of someone who lived forever.

Jack: Yes. It was always like, you still died from, like, some horrible thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now 1815 is the last record. Mention of this From Greek Records. 1815, a Greek record written by a different man named Aus, claims that he acquired a horn of a horse atop the Mount Athos.

Cristina: Whoa. So he got a unicorn and that was it. That's it. He just mentions it.

Jack: It never gets mentioned again. It looks like that's the last record he ever wrote. He was not old either. He was in his mid-20s.

Cristina: Someone killed him. That has to be the only reason. Because the other guy got to do this whole school. He got on an adventure. He was also killed.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Everyone involved in, you know, like, the guy warned him something bad is gonna happen.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: And it's not that the unicorn horn.

Jack: Is gonna do something that's everybody else. It's. You know what it reminds me a lot of. And like, who knows if this was the direct inspiration for this, but it sounds a lot like the ring from Lord of the Rings.

Cristina: Yes. The way they get obsessed with it.

Jack: Yes. There was wars fought over this ring. Like, what. What's our junior. Rolling. That's the name of the lady wrote this. Or the guy who. Whatever. Whoever. No, that's from Harry Potter. Right. J.K. rowling. That's Harry Potter. Well, whoever.

Cristina: The JJR or something.

Jack: Yeah, that guy, whoever wrote this might have been directly inspired. Wait, when? How long ago was that guy?

Cristina: Let's find out.

Jack: Okay, so he was definitely. He was a well informed, studied guy in all areas of mythology and theology. So it's definitely possible that the works of Tolkien were inspired by at least some aspects of Greek writing and record keeping. Because he was into all of it. He was into all of the things.

Cristina: He's into all the things. That's crazy.

Jack: Yeah. So his work is mesh of a lot of things. He definitely saw something that told him about an object everybody was chasing.

Cristina: Yes. What did that. What inspired him for that little part? That's so exact.

Jack: Yes, that's so exact and feels so identical to what we're seeing here of entire countries erupting into chaos entirely because of the mention.

Cristina: Oh, it's. Come on. It's the same story.

Jack: It feels the same. People chasing people through treks across years just looking for the thing. These guys ran away. They were on the move for nine years before they still found them and killed. Like, what?

Cristina: And we don't. And what if the people were also obsessed with it as well? Like he was traveling to meet other people. Were they becoming also obsessed with it? Everyone he brought the horn to also.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Became very involved.

Jack: One of the interesting things about one of those notes is the fact that it didn't just say that they were attacked and went on the run. It said that there were a bunch of philosophers there that died.

Cristina: Whole school was with them.

Jack: Yeah. Everybody started just walking behind the horn.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Everybody who came in contact with it wanted to see it, wanted to touch it, wanted to be around it.

Cristina: They might not have been fighting each other for it because they were sharing it. They weren't like, it doesn't make you that greedy except for if you want it and you're outside of the group. Yes, yes. Those people want it now.

Jack: Weird, weird, weird, weird, weird, weird. Because we have an example, something very similar to this, and this is the fact that a man named Jesus Kept walking around and people just started following him. Little by little we just meet them, give them some sort of quote, enlightenment, unquote. And now these people, regardless of religion, regardless of background, regardless of crime you've committed, people you hate, what side of any war you might be on, you're.

Cristina: Just like, he had uniform blood or something. Like he was also doing magic.

Jack: He was also doing magic. Now again, we. We definitely very sure that he's a vampire. Everything on paper suggests vampire, but there's this one just similarity that's even more similar than adrenochrome. Because people get obsessed with adrenochrome, but uncontrollably. You're gonna be greedy on adrenochrome.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Everybody's greedy on a drainicle. But doesn't seem to be the case if you're around the unicorn horn. No, you guys can share it.

Cristina: Yeah. These guys literally split it three ways.

Jack: And they were all happy to go their separate ways.

Cristina: Yeah. No one. Yeah.

Jack: As long as you have some, you're fine. It's like an addiction, a fix. You need it. Which is actually real similar to adrenochrome.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But these people aren't even drinking it. Being in contact with it takes you to that same place at that same level.

Cristina: Happy with a fragment of it. Like you need a lot of it. You can have the teeniest amount and be like, yeah, this is fine.

Jack: Well, this brings up another point. It just suddenly fragmented in a nine year period. Did people just want a little bit for you? A little bit for you, a little bit for you? Everybody take a piece. It's overpowered. And we'll have infinite power forever if we just take it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Thus the enlightenment. Everybody enlightened.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Had it.

Cristina: Oh, okay then. Layman. Yes, man. Jesus had unicorn blood.

Jack: Jesus was a vampire.

Cristina: He was a vampire, but he was also born from a lady. Like he wasn't just one day. He didn't just. He wasn't born a vampire.

Jack: Yeah. And he definitely wasn't a vampire or powerful anywhere until he was 30 years old. Which means something got to him. It wasn't power he had.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which sounds like vampire. Something bit him. And then he's just always powerful.

Cristina: I don't.

Jack: I mean, we don't know he was bitten. We know he's always powerful. That feels like a vampire. He doesn't need any more of anything. Or he's surviving off of fear, which he's not because he's the peace preacher.

Cristina: Unless he's surviving off a uniform blood. Not even peace. He Just needs to drink it once.

Jack: He just needs to drink it. Fair enough.

Cristina: And then he does her.

Jack: Is that what a vampire is? Somebody who bit somebody after they themselves had unicorn blood? No, because then you still got to drink vampires. Essentially. It. It is, because we know a vampire has. What you're getting is adrenochrome. That is the point. That is the human affliction. You become a vampire, and then when you don't have it, you go feral and become a zombie. So it's literally adrenochrome. Jesus was literally on adrenochrome.

Cristina: He was doing both because he kept.

Jack: He was fixed. He was. He was addicted. He was. He needed to keep gathering more people. And that's where he's getting his source.

Cristina: Yes, for sure.

Jack: So he didn't need unicorns blood. It's similar. And I guess I began wrong by.

Cristina: Saying giving him abilities.

Jack: Maybe the adrenochrome did that.

Cristina: But we don't know what's the limit of that, of those abilities.

Jack: We. There's no limit to adrenochrome. People become literal gods on it.

Cristina: Oh, that's true. Okay. Yes, yes, yes. So he doesn't need.

Jack: There's similarities, but there's. It's different in that you don't need.

Cristina: To consume, but it does help with the whole. Like, how did he get these followers?

Jack: Vampirism and the vampire hypnosis. Why do you want to fix this to Jesus? So hard?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Everything says he's a vampire. Everything assures us we've gone down this road.

Cristina: He's.

Jack: He's definitely a vampire. The first, most likely.

Cristina: But the Church, Are they all vampires? They're not vampires.

Jack: Here's the thing. The Church also seems to be balls deep in adrenochrome. But weirdly enough, one guy is offed by the Church. By the Church. Fun fact. I didn't mention this part because I didn't write those notes. But the last note, 1815. The guy who wrote that note was killed by the Church.

Cristina: What?

Jack: So, yeah, that's why he disappeared, actually.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay. Come on. Okay. The church at least cares about or doesn't care about it. I mean, they care enough that they don't want anyone to have it.

Jack: Nobody could. Church. That's the goal. Nobody overpowers the Church. Anything that has powers, we hide in some chamber somewhere. Yes, and we know the chamber exists. Like this is public knowledge that it exists.

Cristina: Ah. Are they killing you in a corns off too? Is that why there's no stories of unicorns anymore?

Jack: I Don't know. It's pretty messed up because we know.

Cristina: That they go out and kill other quote unquote, demons.

Jack: They make the creatures.

Cristina: They make the creatures. Oh yeah, that's true. They make the creatures.

Jack: It's a mess. The church is. It seems that like the. The. The. The markers are always the same. We always come back to adrenochrome. We always come back to the church. And right now we found a different.

Cristina: Power source that the church is probably covering up or just getting rid of.

Jack: Yes. Because their way, their usual go to is adrenochrome. It's easily accessible. You can get it from anyone. While the elusive unicorn thing. No. But on the flip side, the unicorn is pure. It seems like once you have it, you're good. Adrenochrome, you always gotta come back.

Cristina: And they want that.

Jack: Yes, there's a. And visually, I guess it also fits the same. Right. One is beautiful, vibrant and gold. The other one's crimson and like, twisted looking. Yeah, you always gotta come back for that fix of the crimson one. But that gold beautiful one that comes from the white steed. No, you're good forever and it helps people without even having to consume it. This one. No, you only help yourself.

Cristina: That's what they're all about.

Jack: Interesting. They are. I guess the opposite of adrenochrome is unicorn blood.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: They're similar and different in exactly the right ways to be. Opposites.

Cristina: That's so crazy. We found an opposite to that. You wouldn't think there would be an opposite, but there is.

Jack: And it still bloods.

Cristina: Yes. Well, it's everything.

Jack: Everything.

Cristina: It's the whole horse package.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Yeah. The whole package.

Jack: Yeah. So this is the road I ended up falling down while reading a bunch of. And there were a lot. This is the kind of thing that you just gotta keep typing in the name, every possible combination you can just to see the next thing. I probably missed a lot of records. This is just what I found. We're talking thousands of records from. I mean, millions of records over the course of literal hundreds of years. And I've gotta hope that the names and don't come up with somebody. And again, we're talking Antonio's a common name. Like, that's not an easy search, but.

Cristina: So then you didn't look up anything specific from the church then, besides like this few mentions in the Bible.

Jack: Yeah, because the church doesn't have direct mentions of this at all. The church does quite the effort of making sure they hide it don't. And it seems that those Those early mentions were only left in order to make them seem abstract and detached, not real.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Anyways, that's what I got on unicorn. So there you go. You wanted to know about when are their unicorns being magical?

Cristina: So there is magical unicorns.

Jack: There are magical unicorns. Apparently they seem to exist in exactly the same place, which is Greece, a mountain called Athos. Weirdly enough, the Greeks are the only people who believe that unicorns are real. And they have a consistent, traceable record of encounters with it repeatedly. All of which can be confirmed through other sources. Weird.

Cristina: So it's a thing.

Jack: It's possible unicorns are real. We can't prove it.

Cristina: They've probably all been killed by the church.

Jack: But how does anybody get a hold of a unicorn?

Cristina: They so many people got the horns. Like, what are you talking about?

Jack: Well, we only know in the course of 400 years, four different. Well, actually in the course of three year, 300 years, it was mentioned. No, it wasn't. I guess it wasn't.

Cristina: In that small group of people traveling that was like four horns or three horns.

Jack: It was a hundred years. In the course of a hundred years, that's four horns. Because there's one that was given by the Russian. Yes, that is our main character. Then there is the one that the guy, the random guy John said he'd encountered.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And there's the two that these other people get. We don't know if it's the same horn or if it's two different horns. But the guy that saw the dude get it and the guy, he saw the guy get or not. But that guy was later executed. And the guy who then got a hold of a horn and he himself was executed.

Cristina: Yeah. It'll be more rare if it is still involved with the ones that the other two got.

Jack: Interesting. If it's been the same horn we're talking about. But the problem is the last two said they acquired it at the top of the mountain. On the flip side, they had nothing else of the unicorn. So they were given this. It looks like they're given this and they themselves don't know where it came from.

Cristina: You think unicorns shed or.

Jack: Interesting. I didn't think about that.

Cristina: It's so hard to catch. They can fly away. There's like they got so much abilities.

Jack: Yes. And a lot of the rest of the things involves permanence, but the horn doesn't.

Cristina: So maybe a shed. So maybe a shed.

Jack: Sort of just going up there and acquiring unicorn horns.

Cristina: Interesting. That's awesome.

Jack: So there you go. The possibility of unicorns. Anyways, anyways, if you guys are interested in these kinds of topics, we have an abundance of episodes on mythological creatures of all sorts. We have a bunch of episodes on weird things the church has done in many different instances.

Cristina: Definitely.

Jack: Yeah. There's episodes on all kinds of mythology and monsters and creatures and whatever, Adrenochrome. And we have a prior episode two weeks ago on unicorns. So, like, there's an abundance of places to come back to the source and see how we, like, how we learn.

Cristina: How we end up here.

Jack: Yeah, you guys can find, like, if you're interested in these kind of things and you like this conversation and you want more stuff, you could hit us us up to talk about it on our socials at just Convopod, that's Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok, all those places.

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

Jack: Yes. And word of mouth, people. It's very important that you tell people about the show. Anybody who's interested in Greek records or information, anybody who is interested in mythology and unicorns, anybody who's interested in anything. We talk about it all.

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

Jack: That's the only way. And if you know somebody who already wants to listen to the show with you, you backhand the s*** out of them and you say, how dare you? I didn't ask what. And then you go kidnap somebody anyways after you tied up that person that said they're totally down to listen, and you don't let them hear, but you force the other person to hear and you force the person who was down to hear to watch these. The other person you're forced into here.

Cristina: Well, aren't they gonna hear it?

Jack: No.

Cristina: The other person has. Wearing headphones.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yep.

Cristina: That's awful. You're torturing two different people.

Jack: Nobody told them to volunteer.

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by great dots.info art by Zero Lupo, and logo by Seth McCallister with social media managed by Amber Black.

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

Jack: And I'm Jack.

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

Jack: Yes. And also, this show is way more enjoyable with the listening partner. So be sure to grab somebody by their arm while they're riding the train without them knowing you. And you just grab them, Grab their hand. You touch their hand while they're just distracted holding on in the train or whatever. You know, you just touch your hand.

Cristina: You'Re like, hey, that's so discerning.

Jack: You stare at them. You stare at them like, hey, when they pull their hand back, you're like, I just want to listen to a podcast with you. And they will want to listen to. They're gonna be like, oh, yeah, that's different.

Cristina: Oh, yeah, that's different. Yeah.

Jack: Well, that's different. We can listen to a podcast and then they'll grab your hand.

Cristina: Really? They're gonna grab. They're gonna be holding hands?

Jack: Yes. And they're gonna share the headphones with a complete stranger. Yeah.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: That's horrible. That's so horrible.

Jack: I don't know why it's horrible if the person doesn't want it, but once you explain it to listen to a podcast, I'll be like, okay, that's different. Grab.

Cristina: We live in a zombie apocalypse. That person can be a zombie.

Jack: Yeah, sure. It's totally fine.

Cristina: That's fine. I don't know. He might be carrying the disease. That's virus. Yes.

Jack: Is it a virus? We could call it a virus.

Cristina: It's a super virus. Is he gonna turn people into zombies? Eventually, man.

Jack: A strain is gonna do it. It's just evolving so rapidly.

Cristina: Yeah. So eventually we'll have zombies here.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay. So last time you were here talking about nature and how people used to explain it with different myths, and one of them was very interesting, which was Loki's son being able to imprint on the planet with one foot, even though he has eight, but for some reason, one foot touched the ground and left a mark, and we thought that was really hilarious. Well, that wasn't hilarious. How he was born was really hilarious. Remember that story?

Jack: Yes. But it was kind of funny that he would imprint on the ground and then. Or not imprint, but he would leave a print on the ground and then Gods that would, in theory, ride this f****** horse, fit inside the hole that it's.

Cristina: Well, Loki can turn into different things. Why can't the gods? I guess, you know, they turn. They all turn into raccoons or something. I don't know. But Loki does have amazing powers. And yeah, he turned into a horse, a female horse. To have sex with a horse, to have a baby. Which was a giant eight legged horse.

Jack: Right. So because him becoming a horse and then f****** a horse doesn't equal horse baby because he's a God.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Him f******. Or I guess getting f***** by her. Because keep in mind he's not doing the f******. He doesn't like to f*** horses. He likes to get f***** by horses.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Big difference.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Mad.

Cristina: He's half God if you look at his DNA.

Jack: Half God.

Cristina: Yes. Or maybe people are unsure what his mother was. His dad was for sure a giant.

Jack: Right. Which isn't a God.

Cristina: Which isn't a God. And then his mom may or may not be a God. I think she may be a God because of how strange his babies are. And like the three.

Jack: The eight legged freak and his powers.

Cristina: And his powers.

Jack: Like what explains the powers if it ain't a God?

Cristina: Well, there is one story where a giant shape shifts into a falcon, which. And I don't think I've read a story about a God. Shapeshift thing. Yeah. So that might be a giant power. A power for the giants is shapeshifting.

Jack: Right. But that's not his only power.

Cristina: No, well, that's his only like main power. I don't know what his other powers are. He's cunning. They always say he's a cunning trickster. Like I don't know if that's a power, but.

Jack: Okay, that's weird. So he doesn't have like he's. There's no sign of him having other God like powers. I feel like he does like super strength. But that could be a giant thing.

Cristina: That could be a giant thing too. Like, how do you. Which side do you put it towards?

Jack: So what you're telling me is he would in theory just get smacked down by one of the gods of Asgard?

Cristina: Definitely.

Jack: Like way too easily. But he's basically like Batman to the other f****** Justice League members. Like he's too witty to be beat by just their muscles.

Cristina: The only reason I think his mom is probably a God is because he has a special pact with Odin. And I don't think Odin would have made any type of pact with a giant because their hate for giants is ridiculous.

Jack: They're racist.

Cristina: They're very racist. The gods hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate giants. So I don't. I can't imagine that Odin would be like, okay, we'll make this deal together, or whatever happened.

Jack: But Odin likes Loki.

Cristina: I wouldn't say he likes him.

Jack: He likes him more than other giants.

Cristina: He lets him in Asgard because he must be half. That's why I think he's also half giant. I mean, half God. Because only gods hang out in Asgard and he. They have huge problem with giants.

Jack: Except Valkyries hang out in Asgard.

Cristina: Valkyries might be a type of God, so.

Jack: Because I remember specifically on that episode we were debating whether that was the case.

Cristina: Yeah, I don't remember because I know there's also. There's two types of gods, actually. I didn't know there's like two God race.

Jack: There's God and demigods.

Cristina: I don't know where the other gods live, but they live on. They have their own realm because, you know, there's nine realms.

Jack: Yeah, something like that.

Cristina: And, and I think they've been in war and stuff, but I don't really know the backstory to any of that.

Jack: Gods with gods.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So, but kind of like gods with giants.

Cristina: Yeah, Gods and giants which then later.

Jack: Got turned into Greek mythologies.

Cristina: Titans versus the gods which came first, Greek or Norse?

Jack: Norse.

Cristina: Norse for sure.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay. I don't know. That's true. But we don't even know all the stories of Norse because it was all written by Christians. So we have the. Whatever came out from that. We don't know what the original stories were, what they truly, truly, truly were believing in. These are just.

Jack: Who, the Norse.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Oh, they stole from Hinduism.

Cristina: Oh, okay. But like the stories that they have now are the Christianized version. Sort of.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Because they went around writing everything for everyone else because they were the writers. They. Well, you know, they had written language, I guess the Christians and whatever.

Jack: Yeah, yeah.

Cristina: So Loki is probably half God anyway. Loki, I think is a God. Half God at least. Because his children are so strange. Like the eight legged horse. I think if he was just a giant, his children would be more normal. Well, maybe not the eight legged horse one. That's a bad example because he was with a horse. But with the other children he has, he had them with a giant or most of them. He did have some kids with a God. His wife is a God and they had, I think one or two sons. People aren't really sure and they seem normal, like normal people. So like, like gods like gods? Yeah, like gods. There was no weird descriptions about those children that he had with his wife.

Jack: The.

Cristina: But with the giant there was very weird children. Very weird. Which is. He has three children with his wife. Not with a wife, with the giant. He has three children with the giant, which are a wolf, a snake and a goddess. Her name is Hel, but she's not a normal goddess. If you look at her like, her description is, she's half alive and half dead. So there's something weird about her too, in appearance.

Jack: But she's not a giant.

Cristina: No, she's a goddess. But she happens to look very odd. And I think it's because. It's because of whatever. Loki is just being a God. Having sex with something that's not a God. Would it make something strange like that?

Jack: Yeah. I didn't think about this before, but I guess his banging of things equals the giant, because he's a giant. So if you banged the normal snake, his giantness made a giant snake as a result. It wasn't his godness, it was his giantness that made a giant snake.

Cristina: Yes, but he was having sex with the giant. So my other thing is that maybe he was also a giant snake while he was having sex with her.

Jack: The snake was giant.

Cristina: No, his child is giant.

Jack: Yes. But the snake he was having sex.

Cristina: With, he wasn't having sex with the snake. He was having sex with a giant.

Jack: And that led to a snake.

Cristina: Yes, which I'm saying.

Jack: He was a snake.

Cristina: He was a snake. Yes, that's what I'm thinking. Oh, s***. He's a shapeshifter.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: He has a wolf baby and a snake baby and they're both giants. But he could turn into animals.

Jack: But the time he be.

Cristina: He had a horse with a giant horse.

Jack: So he actually got f***** by a horse that time.

Cristina: Yes, that was giant. A giant horse. And he was a giant.

Jack: He's just into. He's like giant pansexual.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: He loves whatever. Yeah. Or get f***** by.

Cristina: I mean, he still has babies with his goddess, but he doesn't love her or anything. Like, he's like. He gets bored of her and that's why he finds the giants who have.

Jack: And she's like half dead, isn't she?

Cristina: No, that's his child that's half dead. Oh. His wife is normal. She's completely normal. She's probably a very kind God. There's not much about her, but she's important in the. In Ragnarok.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Or not Ragnarok. In his binding before that happens.

Jack: Right. So Loki shape shifts and then flux. Giants.

Cristina: Yes. Well, one giant. Well, yes, two giants, so yeah, giants. Yes, he loves giants. Okay.

Jack: And he has three giants.

Cristina: Three giants.

Jack: Wolf, horse, snake.

Cristina: Yes. He had three giant babies, a giant wolf, a giant snake and a giant horse. Yes. And these three children though, that he has with the giant, are predicted to be part of the end of the world. Which is Ragnarok.

Jack: Which is prophesied.

Cristina: Yeah, which is prophesied. So then Odin takes them and separates them. I don't know why.

Jack: Because the prophecy is against Odin.

Cristina: Yes, I know that part. Why didn't he just murder them? His plan is very strange because for the wolf he can grow forever. So they keep trying to chain him up. They keep him in Asgard with the other gods to just keep chaining him up. And he keeps breaking out of it because he keeps growing. And eventually they do trick him into getting chained up by a magical chain made from a dwarf. He bites off a God's hand while they do that, though. That's pretty cool. I mean, maybe not cool like that God lives with one hand now. But I'm sure it could grow back.

Jack: Probably.

Cristina: I don't know. It's weird that he wouldn't grow it back, but I guess he doesn't feel like growing it back.

Jack: Maybe he can't. Maybe it's kind of like God standards of like, what is Superman in his home planet if not just another normal dude. Oh, so like to us they're gods.

Cristina: But like around each other they're like.

Jack: They're normal.

Cristina: Normal. That's why Oren only has one eye.

Jack: Like. Yeah. Compared to us they're gods.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But they still have like weaknesses and s***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Around each other they're just people. It's comparatively. God.

Cristina: Yes. Yeah, so they're pretty normal. They get hurt and stuff because that guy gets his friggin hand ripped off. But then they do bond.

Jack: What's weird about Ragnarok is the fact that Odin is the reason it happens through his actions. Trying to stop it. That's sort of the loop there.

Cristina: He should have murdered these children.

Jack: No, it wouldn't work.

Cristina: It wouldn't work.

Jack: It wouldn't work. It would somehow feed into the plan.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: I actually think the attempt at killing them is also part of the plan.

Cristina: He doesn't though. I think the only one, he's. I guess you could say he did. I'm not sure. Because when he throwed. Threw out the snake out of the world and it ends up on Earth, like, was he thinking that like throwing him out would kill the snake. Like, was that the only child he actually tried to kill? And it just survived its fall and then just kept growing?

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: Okay. But that's one of the things he did, was throw him there on the world. What's it's called?

Jack: Midgard.

Cristina: Midgard. Us. Our planet. I think that's a cooler name than Earth. Midgard. Yeah, I like that.

Jack: But an Asgard is cooler than heaven. Yeah, but it's just cuz we're used to hearing it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: If we lived in Midgard, like Earth, that's cool.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But yeah. No, I believe that any step Odin takes, kind of fits into the plan one way or another.

Cristina: Yeah. He just doesn't understand how.

Jack: Doesn't understand how at all.

Cristina: That's why he's always fighting it. But it's gonna happen no matter what.

Jack: Oh, okay. Here's the problem. Here's the problem. We as people get told the story of Ragnarok and of Norse mythology. And how all that plays out after we have the full picture.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We have to think about it from before the entire story was written and happened. Which happens in the time that Odin sees into the future. That's why he doesn't have an eye. It was part of a trade or some s***.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And in seeing into the future, he saw the result. And he knew who would be involved, but he didn't know how. And ever since, every step he takes seems to feed into it. So he almost becomes like the perpetuator of his own demise, trying to stop it.

Cristina: Ragnarok hasn't happened yet. Just to let you know. It's not. It hasn't happened yet. We're still living pre Ragnarok. Because once it happens, everything is going to be destroyed. All the nine realms and all that stuff.

Jack: That's weird. I thought Ragnarok already happened.

Cristina: Nope. It's the future. It's. Yeah, it's the future. It's like in the end of Christian.

Jack: No, that makes sense. I thought the idea was that after Ragnarok happened, that's how we ended up with the world the way it is. Without gods interacting with us.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah, I thought that's. That's what happened. The result of Ragnarok was a bunch of gods were dead. And humans then got to flourish successfully without the oppression of the Asgardians.

Cristina: Oh, no, no. I don't know. No, because they're still collecting souls and stuff for their army.

Jack: We call that heaven now. No, no, that happened already.

Cristina: No, that's weird. That's happening right now. The Valkyries are coming here to collect souls for their army.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: It's still.

Jack: Okay, so.

Cristina: So Ragnarok hasn't happened yet.

Jack: So Ragnarok hasn't happened yet.

Cristina: Which is probably a Christian twist on the who. They love that type of apocalyptic ending. They did it for the Bible.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Has Jesus coming back and whatever.

Jack: So the question is, did Ragnarok originally happen already in Norse mythology? And then we inherited the earth, but Christianity got a hold of the texts, rewrote them, and when it re entered the remainder of Norse mythology as a reframing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It got pushed into the ending the way that the New Testament suggests the apocalypse would happen. Because they are the same thing. Ragnarok is Apocalypsis from the Bible.

Cristina: It's impossible to tell, I think because they didn't have their stories written down beforehand.

Jack: Created by the Christians to begin with.

Cristina: Yeah. So it's hard. So.

Jack: But Loki is the one perpetuating all of Ragnarok to some degree. He plays a million different roles that push this story forward.

Cristina: Ragnarok doesn't begin. I mean, Loki doesn't begin Ragnarok. The beginning of Ragnarok happens when the snake lets go of his tail.

Jack: Why would he do that?

Cristina: Why would he do that?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: I have no idea. He's ready to destroy the world because for some reason, once that happens, then all the other his siblings and Loki are free from where they're kept. They're somehow also able strong enough to get out of their traps or whatever. That's the beginning of Ragnarok when the snake lets go of his tail. And that's pretty cool. That's not pretty cool. That's whatever. Whatever. Yes.

Jack: Right.

Cristina: And the world serpent, he has a few stories in Norse mythology that they still have, which are always against Thor because they are mortal enemies, his son and himself. Thor is not his.

Jack: Oh, not Thor. Got you. Got you.

Cristina: Thor and the snake.

Jack: Because Thor and the snake.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah. Because he's. They're destined to kill each other.

Jack: Which is part of Ragnarok.

Cristina: That's part of Ragnarok. Yes. Because the snake. Well, in Ragnarok, he's going to poison. Once he lets go of his toe. I guess he's like just hoarding a bunch of venom inside him. And then when he lets go, it all explodes out of him and poisons the sky and the ocean. Maybe that's why Ragnarok begins at that time.

Jack: Could be. Probably.

Cristina: And then the poison is what kills Thor. And after Thor kills him, he gets He. He still dies because of poison.

Jack: Thor.

Cristina: Thor. Yes.

Jack: Got you.

Cristina: Yeah, they. They know like who's gonna die. Like everything's already ran, so it's interesting. Like it's still gonna happen.

Jack: That's how prophecy works, I guess.

Cristina: Yes, yes. It's like time traveling in a weird way.

Jack: It was literally time traveling. He was looking forward in time to see exactly what was gonna happen.

Cristina: Yeah, you know, his. Everything that's happening, like, like whatever. Like if he wanted to know where you were, he could see you. That's kind of like God, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jack: He is the God. God.

Cristina: He is the God because Loki in one of the stories before he gets captured to be trapped forever. He turned into a fish trying to hide that way. But Odin saw him, so they caught him. There's a story where Thor and Loki are traveling through the giants world for some reason. I'm not sure where their aim is, but they end up meeting a giant who has a castle, I guess. And they're. They have a competition with the giant and the giant, I think. I don't know who starts the contest. I think Loki actually starts the contest after the giant makes fun of the gods saying like, oh, you guys aren't as great as you think you are. You're not as strong or you're not as whatever were much better. And so Loki starts off the competition saying he's the fastest eater and he competes with another giant on eating the most food and of course loses. It's such a weird competition. But yeah, they each like. And they have to be in the end of the table and reach the middle with all the food and the other like he was able to eat all of it, but there was still leftovers like bones and you know, things you wouldn't normally. But the giant ate everything off his side.

Jack: That's very weird.

Cristina: That's very weird. But the giant actually was cheating because these weren't really giants. I don't remember what this giant was, but there was a guy that was with him who decided to race a giant to see who's faster. And the giant kept winning. And it turned out he was Thoth itself.

Jack: Who, the giant?

Cristina: Yes, yes. He was running against Thaw, but he couldn't win because it's so.

Jack: It was the embodiment of thinking.

Cristina: Yes. I can't remember what Loki was against, but it was something ridiculous like that, of course. And then Thor had two. I remember only like two things he had to do. One was to drink from one of the giants cups or whatever and he Just. He couldn't drink it all. But the giant said that he was actually drinking their lake water. And he was worried that he was gonna drink it all because he was doing really well, even though he wasn't able to do it. And then the second thing that he had to do was to lift the cat. And the cat was actually the world snake disguised as a cat. So he couldn't do it, but he did a really good job. And the giant was still really impressed by him. But he, like Thor, I think, pretty much destroyed the place while he was doing all these things. So the giant was like, you better not return to here ever again. I'm impressed. But never come here again.

Jack: So the world snake could morph.

Cristina: I think the giants did that to the world snake. I don't think the world snake can magically turn into a cat.

Jack: Interesting. So they. The world snake agreed to this.

Cristina: I don't know. He was probably minding his own business, living his life, and then the giant plucked him out somehow.

Jack: Right. Because you can see the World snake from everywhere at all times.

Cristina: On Earth?

Jack: On Earth, yeah.

Cristina: Yes. But I'm guessing these stories are before he was that big because he kept growing and became that big. But these could be before he was that big.

Jack: Right. Which is an unexplained amount of time. It's long from one point to the other.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: They are gods, and they live forever.

Cristina: Mm. There was another story with Thor and the World snake where Thor went fishing with an ox head and he caught the world snake and he hit him with his hammer, and they thought he killed the snake. But I'm assuming that was also another time where the snake wasn't big enough. Like, he wasn't his full size yet.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: And he obviously didn't die because he's in the Ragnarok story. But he thought he killed him in that story.

Jack: Giants never stop growing, period. All of them.

Cristina: I don't know if all giants are like that, but I know Loki's children that are giants are like that.

Jack: Maybe it's a combination of a God. And Loki would be the combination of.

Cristina: A God and a giant.

Jack: And a giant, yes.

Cristina: That's why I think he has weird children. Besides the one that he has with his. With his wife, who is a God. They had a normal God children, as far as I can tell.

Jack: And that's weird.

Cristina: That's weird. Yes, that is weird. Loki also has a daughter named Hel, which is a pretty normal daughter. Besides that, she looks half dead and half alive, and she collects some of the Some of the dead people, the ones that are the wicked ones and the ones that die from sickness and old age, they're not good enough for the. For Odin, who collects half of them, and I don't. Okay, what do I know about her? Well, I don't know much about her, except that they. One of the gods do visit her later on in the story when Loki ends up killing a God. They come to her to revive that. That God, hoping that she would let him back to Asgard. And she says, like, it's fine as long as you can make all the. Everything cry. As long as everything will cry. For this God, which is Baldur, is the God that he killed with a mistletoe. I don't know if you heard of that story.

Jack: No. Baldur is one of Odin's sons, isn't he?

Cristina: I think so. But Loki kills him, sort of. He was jealous of. He was jealous of Boulder because all the gods would. I don't know. They had fun with him because he's. He's pretty much. He's pretty much immune to everything because his mother. After he had a bad dream about dying or like he was gonna have a really painful death, like he prophesies in his nightmares or whatever. His mom, Freya. Was it Freya or Frigg?

Jack: Freya.

Cristina: It's Frigg. There is a Freya, but in this story, it's Frigg.

Jack: Freya's Odin's wife.

Cristina: Freya is not Odin's wife. Frigg is Odin's wife.

Jack: Freya is Freya.

Cristina: It's another God. Freya is another God.

Jack: Freyja is a whole other God.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: I thought Freya was Odin's wife.

Cristina: A lot of people confuse Freya and Frigg because Freya also has a God husband whose name is something similar to Odin, but it's not Odin. It's like Omud or something. I don't know. It starts with O, too, so they get confused, but they're not the same person. After Frigg finds out about Boulder's nightmares, she has all the living creatures promise to not hurt Boulder, except she forgot about the mistletoe. And Loki finds this out because it's. I don't know why she would be honest to anyone about this. It's like a really big deal. But he turns into an old lady and then asks her, hey, what's this guy's deal? He's immune to everything. And she's like, no, I forgot the mistletoe. It's so, like, so peaceful. It would never do anything it's innocent, Right? And, well, she was wrong. Well, I guess it was innocent. It's really. He got a blind God to throw the mistletoe at Boulder and then he died.

Jack: So it's like in making him immune to everything else, like a mistletoe becomes extra powerful.

Cristina: I guess. So he becomes allergic to the mistletoe. I guess that mistletoe really hated him, actually. Or maybe he turned the mistletoe. I'm thinking of the game is. What was it? It was arrow. Well, I don't know if the game is accurate, but it could have been on an arrow, the mistletoe. And then with the mistletoe in shot at him with the arrow that was poisoned with mistletoe. I guess it killed him. So he becomes allergic to mistletoe. It doesn't matter what the weapon is.

Jack: Because, like, yeah, it's literally kryptonite. It turned the mistletoe into kryptonite.

Cristina: Or maybe the mistletoe. Yeah, like I'm trying to understand. Like, it's very strange. The mistletoe didn't kill him. I would think the arrow killed him. But the mistletoe made. Weakened him. Yes. Weakened that spot. And then. So the arrow could actually hurt him.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: And then he passed away. Yes. And yes. And then the gods were pretty upset by Loki, but for some reason they weren't. That's not when they trapped him. That's not when they punished him. Right after that, he was a little. He just. He just goes out of control after that moment, I guess. But. And oh, back to his daughter Hel. They do ask. She says, okay, so if everyone cries for him, then it'll be fine. So they do. The gods do go around and asking everything, even the rock, even water. Like, everything has to cry for him. And everything does. Except for one giant. One old giant lady. She says no. She's like, I don't love him. I'm not going to cry for him. So he stays dead. And people think that that's probably. That was probably Loki in disguise.

Jack: Interesting. Yeah. Because Loki has this habit of being an old lady.

Cristina: Being an old lady. Oh, yeah. He was an old lady. Yeah. But an old giant lady this time. He turns into weird things, though. He's the most. He has the most fun with shapeshifting. I don't know if the other gods can shapeshift. I feel like they don't because none of them do it. But Loki sure does.

Jack: Maybe it is the power of giants.

Cristina: It could be. Could it be? There's not much said about h*** I think. But I do remember that, well, she doesn't have a key role in Ragnarok. Sort of like, they don't know if she's going to battle with the gods or the giants in the final battle. But she does end up escaping, like her brothers and Loki, out of their traps. She also gets out of her trap, which is their h*** version of whatever she's living in. She.

Jack: And that's a Helheim, right?

Cristina: Helheim, yeah. And it's her. All the dead people, the monsters. There's also monsters trapped in there, too. And the giants all go on a boat made out of dead finger nails. Dead fingers and dead nails. And that's the boat that Loki rides into. What's the place called? Asgard. To fight them, actually. I don't know if they end up there, but whatever. He rides there and then they fight. But that's his battleship. It's made out of fingers and toenails, and it's carrying all the dead and monsters that were in h***. But I don't know if she's on that boat, actually. I just know she left, and all the things that were with her end up on that boat with him.

Jack: So chances are, she was there, too.

Cristina: Yeah, there's chances, yeah. But, like. But there's no. Like, there's no description of her. No stories of her fighting or, like, what happens to her afterwards. Because, you know from these other stories that we know how they die, which I forgot to mention. How the wolf dies. Well, not dies, but his point in Ragnarok. Because Ragnarok is so awesome. Yes. He's the one that kills Odin.

Jack: The wolf.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The wolf kills Odin.

Cristina: Yes. And then Odin's son cuts off the wolf's paws. So I'm guessing he still lives. He just has no paws now.

Jack: Interesting. Interesting. So, as Odin and Loki are equal but opposite, their children are destined to fight each other.

Cristina: Yes. Well, Odin's fighting Loki's children, child. I don't know who Loki's fighting. He's fighting a God, but I don't know if he's related to Odin, but maybe.

Jack: So they don't fight each other, but their children fight each other, which is Thor and the world snake.

Cristina: Thor and the world serpent.

Jack: Thor and the world serpent fight each other.

Cristina: Yes. And Odin and the wolf.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Vanir, I think, is his name. Vanir?

Jack: That's cool.

Cristina: That's cool.

Jack: Yeah, Vanir.

Cristina: Vanir. Yeah. Vanir. And Hel. Come on. I mean, Hel, I guess, doesn't sound as cool. No, Helheim sounds Cool, though.

Jack: Helheim sounds out. Yeah, it sounds like somebody's name.

Cristina: Yeah. And Helheim is in Niflihem. Niflim. Niflam.

Jack: Niff.

Cristina: Do you know that place? I think that's where the frozen giants are at.

Jack: No idea.

Cristina: Well, the frozen giants, I think is also on board with the giants and all that stuff.

Jack: Yes, Frost giants.

Cristina: Frost giants, yes. Yes. The first story you talked about was pretty funny. And there are other stories that are as funny as that story. And I want to talk about those stories. Which is. The first one is. I'll call it the Tug of War. I don't know if it's actually called that. Maybe it's called that. I don't know. And it starts off as a normal story of Loki just getting in trouble. He somehow a giant catches him and he's like, imma kill you unless you bring me a goddess here to be with or whatever. And so Loki does that. He does that. And then the other gods find out and they're like, you better get her or we're going to kill you. So he turns into a. So he turns into a falcon and carries her back to Asgard. And while he's doing that, the giant turns into a eagle. And when he gets close to him to towards Asgard, they burn it up and he dies in the fire like a firewall or something. And then his daughter comes there to get some type of payment for losing her father. And one of the things that she demands is for the gods to make her laugh. So Loki decides that he's got this. Which I guess he does have this because he.

Jack: He's practiced stand up comedy his whole life. And now his moment to shine has arrived.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Loki's like, take a seat. The lights go down, spotlight on Loki. And he's like, all right. Knock, knock.

Cristina: I wish. No, actually this way. The way what really happened is. Well, you'll see. And you'll tell me if maybe he should have just told the joke. Actually he might for his own sake should have probably just tried to tell a joke. But he's into weird things. We gotta remember he's into weird things. Alright.

Jack: Yeah, he's an eccentric.

Cristina: Yes. Okay, so what he does is he gets a goat with a long beard and he ties his balls to that goat's beard. And then while that goat tries to run away one way, he pulls the other way. And as painful as that is, it makes the giant laugh.

Jack: Fair enough. Look, Jackass was successful.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And who.

Cristina: The original jackass.

Jack: Occam's razor Says everything is normal and that's the most likely outcome. Whatever's most likely likely is probably what's going on. And as above, so below.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So we like stupid s***.

Cristina: Why wouldn't giants.

Jack: Why wouldn't giants love stupid s***? God love stupid s*** too.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Thor is well known to be a troll.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like he trolls really hard. Odin trolls all the time. They think of him as serious. But then you look at some stupid f****** Odin stories and he's a troll too. They're all just bored half the time. Doing things for fun.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And so Loki, the most open minded, less rule follow Y1. Of course he's gonna do the craziest s***.

Cristina: So crazy.

Jack: You know he jackasses with it. Yes. But also it hurt Steve O. And he never stopped. I guess he stopped drugs and just turned his self abuse into more comedy.

Cristina: Yes. I wonder if any of them have tried this trick though.

Jack: Maybe.

Cristina: Maybe. Oh my gosh. Go look it up after the show. Yeah. So what do you think? That story funnier, less funny? I feel like it's probably lots of people's favorite, but I think the horse one is my favorite.

Jack: I think whether between doing stand up, a short stand up routine and this one act visually in person, this is more appealing. That wins over stand up. Now to tell the story repeatedly. Stand up would have been better. But he wasn't thinking like how is this story going to be told for the rest of eternity? He was thinking like, how do I get her to laugh? Yeah, he's absurd. So he did something absurd story wise. I also think that's kind of interesting.

Cristina: You think the nuts.

Jack: Yeah, it's also like. I mean the horse one is pretty crazy, but he also f***** a snake.

Cristina: He did not f*** snake. A giant skin a snake while f******.

Jack: That's weird. I guess it is the weirdest that he turned into a horse to get f***** by a horse. Not even to f*** a horse.

Cristina: Exactly. That's weirder.

Jack: But then the question is, is that weirder than turning into a snake so that a giant f**** you? He's a snake. He doesn't have a p****.

Cristina: But it somehow worked. Maybe he was a snake with a p****.

Jack: Do snakes have penises? Whatever. He's. He's either. He's probably just getting f***** by a giant.

Cristina: Yeah, I guess none of that's weird. He's into things and that's normal.

Jack: Apparently for them. I guess we don't have to understand the gods.

Cristina: No, he's just. He cheated on his wife. That's so wrong.

Jack: Did he does she think it's cheating?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Or she just like, whatever you f*** stuff?

Cristina: Yeah, maybe. Maybe because she does. She's there in the end, before Ragnarok. She's with him right now as he's trapped.

Jack: Is there. So we don't know when Ragnarok is.

Cristina: When the snake lets go of his h***. That's all we know.

Jack: Right? Do we know when that's gonna happen?

Cristina: No idea. No. Or. I don't know for sure. I do not know.

Jack: I mean, I don't either.

Cristina: Yes. So the boulder thing doesn't get him in trouble, but soon after, the gods are having a party. Well, maybe not a party. Maybe it's to mourn for Baldr. I'm not sure. And they don't invite him to it. But then he gets angry and he's like, odin, what about that oath we have or whatever, that we're like, maybe they're siblings or whatever, or have a blood tie. That's from that story that people got the idea that he. That he and Odin, that there's some kind of special connection between the two. And so they let him in. And then he just starts insulting everyone, every single God. And I think that's really what ruined everything. But the last person he insults is Thor's wife. And he kind of hints that they had an affair. So I thought that was interesting. But she was like. Instead of, like, being angry or anything, she changes the subject. So there might have been an affair.

Jack: Interesting. Interesting. So there is now. Thor's wife is not supposed to bang everything.

Cristina: No. But Thor cheated on her, too. He wasn't very faithful, so.

Jack: Which means fair game.

Cristina: Yeah. So it might have been a revenge thing with Loki.

Jack: D***. But look, the f*** is like uncle or some s***. Whatever the f*** Loki is to him, his dad's archenemy.

Cristina: His dad's.

Jack: I mean, I guess they're not related.

Cristina: His dad, that he has a pact with. Not with Thor, so. But in that party, though, we find out that the thing he really fears Loki is Thor. Thor doesn't fear any of the gods. He fears Thor. Thor gets angry and kicks him out of the party. And he leaves. He's like, I'm. I'm only leaving because Thor.

Jack: Why does he fear Thor?

Cristina: He kills, like, nothing. He has a hammer that just, I don't know, RIP S***. Yeah. And he does. He does all the time.

Jack: Yeah. Thor is in the movies of, like, you know, Marvel Cinematic Universe or whatever. F***. Is conveyed as a good guy. But in his stories, he's really Neutral. Like really neutral. Like he could just do good or bad at any given moment for no reason.

Cristina: He's only, I think, like, seen as.

Jack: A God because, like, the son of Odin. That's it.

Cristina: Yes. But because the Norse see strength as the good, probably. Like, that's what good is.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Bad is being a coward. Good is being strong or whatever.

Jack: You know, the entirety of Norse mythology. Minus. I believe two gods are considered neutral or bad. That's it.

Cristina: That's it.

Jack: That's it. There's two gods. I don't remember. One of them is supposed to be what became a Jesus, and then the other one is what became Samson. And those are the only two beings that even in Greek mythology. Because also the Greek gods are considered neutral. Minus. Two beings that came from Norse mythology, and they are considered to be the only beings in all of the, you know, transcendent universe that are good. Everything else is neutral. All the gods are neutral.

Cristina: All right. But Loki's wife doesn't sound like a bad person.

Jack: Neutral.

Cristina: Oh, I guess she's neutral. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. They're either neutral or bad.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Like, Odin isn't bad, although he does crooked s*** all the time. But so does Thor.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: They're not actively doing malicious things, though.

Cristina: Like they didn't murder Loki's children, even though they were predicted to bring the end of days.

Jack: Loki is also, ironically, not considered bad.

Cristina: He's considered neutral. He helped them out quite a few times. Yeah. Sometimes he did start things.

Jack: He swings just like the rest of them.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Between neutral and bad.

Cristina: Yeah. It's whatever he feels like it.

Jack: Exactly. All the gods. Most of the gods are like that.

Cristina: Yeah. Except when he killed that one God. That's pushing the line.

Jack: A couple of gods that are considered bad, though.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yes, there's a couple of gods. Not many.

Cristina: Most are neutral in Norse mythology. Yes.

Jack: And Greek mythology. Although in Christianity, they are all good all the time. Everything except for the devil. Lucifer.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which. Yeah, it's really black and white. There's no neutral. It's either you're the good guys or you the bad guys.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: While all the other things kind of blurred the lines there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But there's a couple of gods, and I believe Boulder was one of them. I believe Boulder's immunity also made him hustle.

Cristina: I don't know. From what I remember checking out. No, from what I know, he was loving and. Or all the gods loved him and all the things loved him. That's why they all promised not to hurt him.

Jack: The gods don't care.

Cristina: But the things. Everything from all nine worlds.

Jack: Oh, really?

Cristina: Yes. They were the ones that cried for him as well when he died. It wasn't just the gods. It was everything. Everything. The rocks.

Jack: Interesting. So he's not the only God who is immortal then. Not in that fashion, where he's like, not human to his own gods. Because there was a God. I don't know where the f*** I heard the story, but there was a God who. His lack of being like the other gods is what made him hostile in the first place.

Cristina: That sounds like Loki, because he is kind of hostile, I guess.

Jack: And he isn't like the other gods.

Cristina: He isn't like the other s***, maybe it could have been exactly like Loki.

Jack: Could be. Could be.

Cristina: And that's why after that party, he runs away. Because he knows, like, he went too far. And they catch him. And now he's is tied up, I think, in somewhere on earth. He's tied up somewhere on Earth? Loki? Yeah. In a cave. In a dark cave somewhere. And his wife is with him. They have him tied up with her children. They took out their intestines and wrapped it around him. I don't know why her children had to die. Understand his being part of Ragnarok. But her children are innocent. They had nothing to do with Ragnarok. But I guess they're the only thing strong enough to hold Loki down because they tied it around him.

Jack: Loki's wife's children?

Cristina: Yes, their children. It's still Loki's children. But those children were not meant for the end of the world. But they. So they killed them and put the intestines around him. So he's tied up with that. And then there's a snake above his head that's dripping poison on him to keep him weak as punishment. It's just a torture. It's just torturing him for all the crap that he's done.

Jack: Like a Japanese water torture.

Cristina: Yeah, I guess.

Jack: Make a little drop of water, hit his forehead for days.

Cristina: Yeah. So his wife is there, though, to hold a bucket over his head to collect as much of that poison away from him. And then every time it fills up, she takes it away to let out the poison. And that's when he does get hit with poison. And then that story explains why there's.

Jack: Earthquakes when he's getting hit by the drops.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Freaks out and the earth shakes.

Cristina: Yep, got it. So that actually fits into the last episode. I didn't know about that story, but now I do. And it's really. There is one more story that I think is Funny. Ish. Or I. I'm assuming it was funny back then. It could be still funny now. I'll tell you anyway and see if you think it's funny. But I don't think it compares to the other two stories I just told you, which is that in this story, he and Thor have to cross dress because there's a giant who has Thor's hammer. Somehow, Thor lost his hammer and a giant got a hold of it and.

Jack: And to get it back, you cross dress.

Cristina: Yes, because the. The giant wants Fria and he'll give them the hammer. So they decide to dress Thor up as Fria. He's not happy about that, but he has to, because it somehow works in the plan that he has to do this.

Jack: Right.

Cristina: And then Loki, for some reason, part of this plan. I think this is his plan.

Jack: Loki's an idiot. He could have just become Freya.

Cristina: He could have, but I think what he wanted to do was dress up as a May lady, so that's what he did. He. He also cross dressed. He could totally use his transforming powers. But no, he was like, I want to dress up like a lady as a man. So they do that. And as Thor is getting married to the giant, the giant calls the hammer, because then the union is made and they're. They're married once the hammer joins, for some reason. I don't know how that's part of the ceremony, but that's part of this ceremony, and it lands on Thor's lap, and then Thor murders the giant, and then he murders all the other giants, and then they go back home. Hilarious story.

Jack: Super funny. Yep. Seems legit. It seems like something Thor would do. He just murders.

Cristina: He just murders. He really does.

Jack: Yeah, he doesn't really need to.

Cristina: But the cross dressing is supposed to be the funny part of the story, so.

Jack: What a solution.

Cristina: Yeah, it is kind of funny because Loki can totally just like, turn into Freya.

Jack: Yeah. It was just a real pointless mission they went on.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like, he could have legitimately become Freya.

Cristina: Yes. And just had Thor with him. Because he still needs to grab the hammer.

Jack: Yes. It makes total sense that Freya would show up. In fact, it looks like Thor brought Freya.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: In literal exchange for his hammer.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But no, Loki was like, better idea.

Cristina: Better idea.

Jack: We both cross dress.

Cristina: So ridiculous. Like, before the actual wedding, there was, like, a bunch of things that Thor was doing that was obviously something wrong with Fria. Like the giant, like.

Jack: Like sketchy s***.

Cristina: Yeah. Like, he ate too much and he drank too much, and the giant Was like, this is very strange.

Jack: I would love the Norse mythology sitcom where hijinks happen all the time. And then this episode, one of the best episodes. Because he's at the party, he's drinking more than he should, and, you know, they notice. Oh, man, your wife's got, like, a real thick mustache today.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like, all those corny, funny hijinks.

Cristina: Yes, it's exactly like that, though. It's like that wolf story of, like, the Little Red Riding Hood with the wolf. And he's like, why did you use your eyes that big? Or why are your hands that big? And.

Jack: Yeah, that should totally.

Cristina: Giant is doing that with Thor is like, hey, why is his eyes so dark and scary? And Loki's like, oh, it's because he. He's so in love with. She's so in love with you. Like, Loki was coming up with the excuses of why Thor was obviously not. Obviously not a lady.

Jack: I guess it's like, this giant has to be a little blind, too, to not be like, that's clearly Thor in a dress or some s***.

Cristina: I know.

Jack: But, like, great. He could, man. Loki genius.

Cristina: Yes, she is a genius.

Jack: Anyways, we are out of time here. That's definitely.

Cristina: So which is your favorite of the three stories?

Jack: I think the horse f******. It's crazy because you have to become a female horse to get laid by a horse and then be pregnant and then ride that pregnancy out.

Cristina: He could have definitely. Well, I guess that's the only option.

Jack: The funniest part is riding the pregnancy out. Yes, that's the funniest part. It's not the banging a horse. He banged a bunch of s***. No, whatever he likes to take, he likes to be the receiving end sometimes.

Cristina: And he actually held a horse in him for however long it takes. A horse. Magic horse.

Jack: Could have been millions of years by our standard. Yeah, we don't know how time works over there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He could have just been pregnant for infinities, living a life as a wife to a horse.

Cristina: To a horse. Yeah.

Jack: To giant horse for infinities.

Cristina: Yep.

Jack: And then had Horace baby.

Cristina: There was some sort of mutant somehow just okay with all this. I don't know. I'm thinking that that whole bucket thing is a little revenge of her own, because she gets to watch him suffer still.

Jack: She gets to be there.

Cristina: Yeah. When she takes out the bucket, like, she could eventually now, like, come up with some other thing to cover his head so he doesn't get hit in the head. But she's like, nah, this is the best moment. She feels so good.

Jack: It's so unbelievable.

Cristina: She just waits for that bucket to get filled and she's like, oh, I can'.

Jack: So easy to just build a little scoop that grabs it and it drips across.

Cristina: Like, it's so easy somewhere else. Yeah, yeah.

Jack: Just divert the flow.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Super simple.

Cristina: But she's like, no, Yeah, I want to see this.

Jack: Well, I mean, they're kinky. They're probably into it. She's all excited about it. He's probably into it, too. You know, they don't give a. Oh, my God. Maybe their bonding time.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: Fascinating. Thor's weird. Loki's weird. Odin's weird. Norse mythology in general is weird. Religion is weird.

Cristina: Religion is weird.

Jack: Yeah, it is what it is.

Cristina: That was a great episode, though. Yeah.

Jack: Fascinating. I like. I love knowing about. I like Norse mythology and Greek mythology more than I like Christianity. I guess Christianity is just outplayed.

Cristina: It's just boring to you.

Jack: It is. It's so boring. While Greek and Norse mythology are, like, weird and eccentric, you know, they're really exciting. I think I've heard too much Christianity in my life.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But, like, also, I'm not that interested in Hinduism either. I think there's just something really interesting about Greek and Norse mythology and the.

Cristina: Way those cats behave and all that.

Jack: Yeah, it's really different. Yeah, it's very exotic and different from other religions. It's like a bunch of chaos happening. Just random s*** happening all the time. But, yeah, definitely find that interesting. But if you guys enjoyed this, this episode, this discussion, you can find other things of this nature. You can find the previous part of this when we're talking about when we stumbled upon Loki, talking about, you know, nature and whatnot. Yeah, you can find that last episode, but you can also find in a bunch of other episodes, random crap that we touch about gods and religions, myths.

Cristina: And myths and crap and all that stuff.

Jack: Yeah, all of the above. You can find all that stuff on the official website. Great thoughts.info or on Apple podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere you get podcasts.

Cristina: And you can reach us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok at just combo podcast.

Jack: Yes, word of mouth matters. As I always tell you at the beginning and at the end of the show, if you find somebody and you kindly ask them to listen to a podcast, you give them all the space they need. You. You, you know, you don't Want to invade personal space.

Cristina: That's disrespectful. Six feet of space in the zone. Yeah.

Jack: You need a social distance. And when you. Social distance and you tell somebody, hey, I know it's lonely these days, alone all the time. Can't interact too much. Well, I can. I can show you podcasts that you feel like you're in the room with these people hanging out safely and tell them about this podcast and they'll love it. And they'll be like, thank you for respecting my personal space and I appreciate you introducing me to this show.

Cristina: Of course.

Jack: Well, where I'll learn about Norse mythology.

Cristina: Yes, you will, I think at least learn about Loki. Learn about Loki and his children. And his children. Yeah. He learned about a few things, definitely. And this show has been the Just Conversation podcast. Take nothing personal and thanks for listening.

Jack: Bye. But now when you think about the message prior to this.

Cristina: What?

Jack: It kind of makes sense in a political kind of way.

Cristina: In a political type. What?

Jack: Yes. Because he's saying that they're kind of living in a veil of ignorance to some degree. We have hang ups. We're tightly wound and whatever.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And we don't want to let ourselves know more than we do. Where the f*** does he say that?

Cristina: He does not say that.

Jack: Left ear, hard to see the hang ups we have today. The hang ups are somewhere in there. But they don't really realize, though.

Cristina: Oh, no. They don't realize though that he's great. No. The next thing.

Jack: Lift your. Lift your left your lift yourself. Lift your. Lift your. Lift your lift your. Hard to see the hang ups we have today. But they don't realize this next verse. This next verse though, these bars. So the next verse has nothing to do. But they don't realize. They don't really realize. They don't really realize is them sort of. They don't understand. And then he says before that. That. Lift yourself upon your feet. Let's get it on. So, okay, we're beaten down.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And we can get up.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: We don't need anybody to extend the hand to get us up.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: He's. He argues against that, against the whole welfare system, against the whole. This is just very Kanye of him.

Cristina: Okay. Do it yourself.

Jack: He's saying you could pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

Cristina: Okay. Yes.

Jack: And then he says the state of mind you're in. I'll sing you some bars about that. And then he jumps into poopa. He's just saying you're full of s***. Everything you've got is excuses.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Your whole state of mind. Let me summarize it in these woke a** bars.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Poop.

Cristina: Yes, poop.

Jack: Yeah. He's saying you're full of s***. All of you are full of s***. That's a woke a** song. You just did it like a troll.

Cristina: Be any of the s***, no less. It's to your face.

Jack: It's actually poopa de whoop, not poop that you scoop.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: So, yeah, pretty woke s***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I give him points as fire.

Cristina: About poop. About poop. Yeah. Good morning. Good morning. The Just Conversation podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by greatthoughts.info art by 0lupo and logo by Seth McAllister with social media managed by Amber Black.
