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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Cristina: I am your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity. Most absurd and baffling ideas. And then thunder.

Cristina: And that's thunder.

Jack: Sure. Yeah. And you hear the screen flashes for people who are watching, for the people who are tuning in on space satellite on space tube.

Cristina: They can't just be watching us on YouTube.

Jack: How are they gonna watch us on.

Cristina: YouTube on our channel?

Jack: Oh, I. I guess in theory they're watching a screen that just. I mean, some people probably do that. I bet there's somebody, at least one human somewhere that shows up, sits in front of a YouTube screen, tunes into a podcast that does not have a visual element, clicks a video, and then sits down and just stares at the screen until the show's over.

Cristina: There's no way.

Jack: How is that any different than somebody who just sits and listens to music for a long period of time? Or somebody who sits.

Cristina: You're not looking at a screen to do those things. No one puts on a screen to listen. If they are, they're reading the lyrics. They're not just watching a blank screen playing music.

Jack: Fair enough. Fair enough. Fair enough. Is. Is nothing happening on the screen? It's a question. Because if there was an equalizer, then at least the argument is there's an equalizer.

Cristina: Okay, that's a little different. I guess that would make sense if someone's watching it or not.

Jack: I say equalizer. Visualizer. You know what I mean?

Cristina: Really watch it.

Jack: It's like a background art thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which is cool, I guess. That's such a futuristic thing that I think we under appreciate.

Cristina: It's like, what's the music that they have? Like live music. Study too. Study two in on YouTube. Like they always have that girl. Yes. Loy with a girl on her computer with a cat. And it has a little animation that's super simple that just plays over and over and over again, but you're not really focused on it. Yeah, it's just there.

Jack: But these visualizations aren't necessarily absolutely aimless. Some of them transform and move to the beat and the texture of the music that's playing and their shape moves accordingly. It's not just random shapes. These higher quality ones actually move to the beat. It's not like these loafy beads.

Cristina: What are you saying our podcast is like that?

Jack: I don't even know what I was saying was like that. Our podcast no.

Cristina: Music that has the videos that are. That. For people to watch that aren't actually looking at lyrics or an actual video.

Jack: Oh, I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Our YouTube thing is essentially that.

Cristina: Which is. What's it called?

Jack: What is. Wait, I'm so confused.

Cristina: I'm like the thing that's. They're watching. Following the voices or music.

Jack: The visualizer.

Cristina: Oh, that's what it's called? Yes, that's what I'm asking.

Jack: Okay. The visualizer is like the anomalous shape of colors. You know what I'm talking about? That's on a screen in like, let's say it's early 2000s. You have. We're still before the big transition to everybody's own smartphones. And you have a. Either a desktop that's old or a laptop that's new. One or the other is occurring. And you have a bunch of music. Music stolen from some website that you downloaded them from, or you went to a music store, downloaded them, and burned them on to a music player so you could hear them through your computer without having to put the CD in, maybe some collection of sorts. And you play them through the player. The player always had the option where you hit the thing and then boom. There's a weird thing with colors, right? And it morphs and shapes and does all this.

Cristina: Didn't one of the PlayStations have that?

Jack: Did it? Like PlayStation 3, maybe 2. Really, 2? Oh, I don't even know. D***. I don't know. But maybe. Absolutely. I don't. I Bet the current PlayStations all had them and have them. This never really looked, but I bet that's the thing. Yeah, for sure. And like, there are very complicated ones that move with the music. So I don't even know what my point was, but our show, they could go watch our show and sit down. So I guess. Oh. My point was that somebody would. Couldn't. Can in theory, sit down and watch something like that, but then they're technically still watching something happen. So if you want, in theory, you can just play the episode with a visualizer that syncs to it. Yes, that's weird because of our voices, but you're essentially seeing an anomalous blob speak to you, and it sounds like many people having a conversation. That's cool. Futuristic, least speaking.

Cristina: Weird, but okay.

Jack: Mm, very strange. But now I'm very intrigued. An anomalous blob that plays a podcast to you through a screen fire.

Cristina: Yeah, Maybe someone does that.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: F*** it, why not? Cool as H***, anyways, totally related to that absolutely relevant bit of information. We have lately been looking at a bunch of different things.

Cristina: Always.

Jack: As always. And so I'll tell you where this really begins. This is going back in time flashback to the year 1974 when it was.

Cristina: Raining that far away.

Jack: Can you imagine like out of all these timelines we've spoken that are up to several million years back so far that I'm like a long time ago and I'm like 1970. Yeah.

Cristina: So weird. Also was there you said Raining Men.

Jack: It was Raining Men.

Cristina: Does that song come out in that year or something?

Jack: No, but I was hoping I totally guess and got it right. So maybe it did. I actually have no idea. I Bet that's an 80s song though.

Cristina: Oh okay.

Jack: I bet that's late 80s, early 90s. I'm not entirely sure.

Cristina: It's 1930-1983-1983-1983.

Jack: I am off by nine years. Nine years.

Cristina: The people that sung it were called the Weather Girls. Where all their songs like themed.

Jack: Oh my God. The Weather Girls. Okay. So chances are they made. They became famous for that one song. And then because that's impossible to sustain their popularity immediately died following.

Cristina: It's Raining Men was on their third album.

Jack: Yeah. So they made a one hit way later and then they made music after.

Cristina: So you're saying they weren't called the Weather Girls before they got that song to be famous?

Jack: Oh s***. I see your point. I see your point. Yeah yeah, yeah. Cuz they had. The good ideas would have come at the beginning or at least the second album. Right. Because you have the first album when you're trying to figure it out. The second album you hit your note and your third album is your decline or your masterpiece. One of the other. I guess I could have been the masterpiece. Who knows? But one song. I don't know any other song from that album. And I don't think anybody in history has ever heard any other song from that album.

Cristina: Probably not. Probably not.

Jack: Do they have a fan base? Would be the question. Anyways. Anyways. Anyways. We gotta go back to the year 1912.

Cristina: Because.

Jack: I was trying to learn what we could about wizards. As you know we've been.

Cristina: We.

Jack: We cross paths with the lady of the Lake and we cross paths with Fae La Fay. Morgan Le Fay.

Cristina: I don't know who that is.

Jack: The chick who helped our King Arthur out.

Cristina: Oh yeah.

Jack: And so we're crossing paths with those people and we cross paths with. Actually I guess the lady of the Lake doesn't matter. Merlin.

Cristina: Merlin's the only one that matters. If you're talking about wizards, like.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Oh, that other lady was a witch or something.

Jack: Yeah, she was some s*** like that. Some real overpowered thing or a fairy or a fair. Yeah, it's kind of unclear at this point.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But I was wondering what the significance. We were talking about this, right? About a couple of things that in the last like two episodes really stuck out. And one of the things that stuck out was about the, like, what is up with these people's obsession with King Arthur? Fairies and sorcerers and all these other people. There's something beyond what we're understanding. Because if it's just some s*** that one of them made, we'll make another one. Something is actually special about Arthur. Cuz they're all behind Arthur. Yeah. If it was that much of an issue, do it again. Unless it was very energy consuming, the cost for making him is very difficult.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Which, like, what the h*** does that mean? Don't you guys live infinitely long times? Isn't this not worth your energy?

Cristina: I don't know. Are people just made from stones though, or like, like what made him?

Jack: Arthur.

Cristina: Yeah. He wasn't used with the stone, was he?

Jack: No. I actually have no clue how this man was made, but he's eventually gonna die of old age anyway, so it didn't matter. But anyways, yeah. So I'm looking, I. I see this fact that the sorcerers overpowered then and. And I'm looking like, okay, equal to Jesus. Look at Jesus. And he was also surrounded by his team. Wasn't of these people who were sorcerers of any sort. They got their abilities seemingly from Jesus. His lessons and things. He would provide and give to his people so they could be more like him and use his abilities.

Cristina: Were they using his abilities?

Jack: Yeah. Apostles had ability to heal and stuff.

Cristina: That wasn't from adrenochrome. I think that was from.

Jack: I believe those are the teachings that they got. Yeah.

Cristina: Oh, okay. That makes sense.

Jack: But on top of all that, Jesus did have people that were assumed to have witchy abilities, like the presumed he hung out with and individuals like that. And it's like, okay, so if this is true with King Arthur, then curiously, Jesus also had this thing. But what's true in every one of these cases, with the exception of La Fay, is that he seeks them out. It looks like he seeks them out at least.

Cristina: Who is he that's seeking them out?

Jack: Jesus and Arthur. They seek the individual out, but actually there was always something pulling them in the direction of this sorcerer, in the case of Magdalene, it was not that he was being manipulated through narrative, as far as we know, but it was that he was being drawn to that area to help, to assist the way he usually does. So some bigger, greater calling still took him straight to Mary, who suspected to be a sorceress. And then you have Arthur, who goes straight to Marlon because of a narrative.

Cristina: That he was writing, because of who.

Jack: He is, he had to do this thing the same way Jesus, because who he is, he had to go assist, he had to go help. He had to provide who he is to this person. Arthur had to provide who he is, is. And this in both instances, lands them in front of an individual that has an everlasting impact on their life and seems to always be present beyond that point. That's interesting. Almost like the whole point was to cross paths. So I'm like, okay, we gotta look after coming to that conclusion. Because I'm like, okay, I know that these two guys are kind of the same. And then I start looking at these comparisons because I'm just looking at them back and forth. Sorcerers, one and the other. What does this mean? What does this mean? And I come to that conclusion like, okay, the sorcerers are what matters. This is really weird. I got to look at this. So I start looking at sorcerers in general, mythologies across the world. And as I'm looking through sorcerers, hundreds, thousands of different kinds of sorcerers, scrolling, looking for a bunch of different types of magic abilities and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. One seems to show up in this culture. And then I keep moving and shows up in that one. And then I keep moving and shows up in that one.

Cristina: And the same wizard person thing.

Jack: No, not the same wizard. The same word. Which keeps showing up as I'm looking for different. I'm looking for different types of magic, allegedly, which we all know as different technologies, which is very interesting, by the way, because this might be one of the closest times I've ever been to deciphering when thing is in fact a like it's almost directly told to us based on how they describe it. But I'll get to that point in a second. The word necromancy kept showing up. And we have people magic. Yes, 100%. And we have a basic understanding of what necromancy is. Everybody has an idea. And that's the same. That very idea, what you just said. That's the idea we all have about what necromancy really is. We think it's just magic about dead people.

Cristina: Isn't it?

Jack: Well, we're gonna find out. Because that came up so frequently that I started to look towards that direction primarily. And as I started to look towards that direction primarily and started to leave behind the wizards, I stumbled upon a huge distinction between all wizards and sorcerers of all sorts. And then necromancers. Necromancers are apparently mentioned and used, addressed again, one of these words that at this point I'm just translating anything that seems to come after any pattern because it's one of these words that seemed irrelevant at the beginning, like just something that doesn't apply. And as I'm going through it and see this, the context makes sense in a bunch of texts we've been reading before. And it's essentially necromancy mentioned in a bunch of languages. Keep in mind I just go back to the sources we've had before, because that's what I'm trying to unravel further and further and further. So I end up coming across a fact that necromancy has been mentioned in front of us over and over and over and over and over. So I'm like, okay, no, f*** the rest of this information. I'm gonna look at whatever necromancy is specifically. That's where the value is. Because that's what this show's about, unraveling humanity's most absurd ideas. Anyways. So now the main purpose becomes about finding out. It left being finding out about Merlin and these individuals and became finding out about ne necromancy.

Cristina: What did you learn? Now is this about specific people?

Jack: No. Okay, so necromancy basics. This is the window into necromancy. Basic things to know. The very first individual that discovered necromancy. Not discovered. The first mention, rather ever of necromancy. Happens to be in by the Greek.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And it was mentioned 2,700 years ago. That is the first mention of necromancy that we have on record written. There are stories.

Cristina: Wait, when you were talking about going, we're gonna go back in time to 1970, that had nothing to do with anything.

Jack: That time was completely random and relevant. Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. That had no, no real world value of any sort.

Cristina: All right.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was just the time I picked out of a hat in 1980. I said 84. I think 1974. But 1984 is when that thing came out.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: No, it came out in 83 because it was nine years off. I said 74. Yeah, whatever. Anyways, so necromancy basics first found. The first found writing that directly use the word necromancy. Is by the Greek. It was written 2, 700 years ago. The first altered version of the word, something that means it, but is not exactly. Necromancy was used shortly thereafter. And there seems to be nine, 10 different versions of this word, spelling and enunciations, none of which I'm gonna bother with because the word necromancy is all we need to know.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The very earliest recorded use of it is by Circe, which is a known collaborator of Zeus, which as we know, is the leader of the individuals in the Greek gods collective of individuals.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So. And weirdly enough, this mention is not even being brought up by the GRE getting this information specifically, which is the first mention of it being the first to mention it were the Greek. But the first time that Cersei that it was used was Circe, and that was from an Egyptian text, apparently.

Cristina: This doesn't make sense.

Jack: Yeah. So a Greek God being mentioned in an Egyptian text with an E. Egyptian man. There's a random. Or maybe he's not random, but whatever. Well, he didn't do anything miraculous there. And he. They basically just doing a. Solving a problem. And they use some necromancy to gather information by talking to a dead thing.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: And yeah, so an Egyptian.

Cristina: So they wakes like a dead person up, get some answers and then that dead person stays dead?

Jack: Yes, he's an Egyptian man. He travels to Circe, the Greek God and asks for assistance with this. And Circe then brings up the dead man and allows the Egyptian man to get the answer to his question and so on.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Fire.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Simple, simple details happening. Nothing too big.

Cristina: Is there a lot of necromancy and Egyptian culture and whatever.

Jack: It seems like the culture for it right there. It seems like the culture of death.

Cristina: Yeah. So I'm wondering if that also is part of it or no.

Jack: Apparently it was very huge in Egypt and it was very huge in Persia. Necromancy was ginormous.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: It was one. So the idea was that it evolved naturally from shamanism and all that kind of natural witchy stuff.

Cristina: But are they trying, like, what's the purpose though? Is it just to get answers? People say it's to speak to loved ones. Maybe. I don't know. I'm guessing. I don't know. What is it for? What is it used for mostly?

Jack: Well, as I keep continuing, I will explain those things. It is said that it can be used to communicate with the dead in the shadow realm, if that matters.

Cristina: That might matter, I'm not sure.

Jack: And it is said that it could bridge a small Temporary local gate to the Shadow Realm allowing passage.

Cristina: Was that random lawyer and his sister in Chennai just accidental necromancies? People like what. How are they accidentally walking? Are there accident? Like, are those gates there? Or can we just. We have to do it. Does someone have to make the gate? Because with Jesus it seems like you gotta make them.

Jack: I mean, same thing with Mount Kaf, Mount Athos. Same thing with El Castillo. They're all a stationary building or structure of some sort. Jesus has the most efficient one as far as we know, which is the Shinto Gate. But ultimately it's a fixed location.

Cristina: Yes, but I guess there could be random ones that are just naturally made. Right? Because that's how battlefields probably end up with a bunch of Shadow Realm creatures. It's those deaths creating the gates, leading the whatever, wolves or whatever coming 100%.

Jack: Although it's described as a form of magic, I believe that based on some of the descriptions that I came across, it that all. And the fact that all the other magic we've come across is technology as well, that this is definitely. This is definitely one of the most prominent descriptors of something being technology as far as we've come across so far.

Cristina: How so?

Jack: I'll explain in a moment. It does more than we might think as well, which was my initial idea into looking into this deeper. Because all of us believe that it's magic of raising the dead. But this portal part I did not know of. So refreshing what we know. Because now I'm curious. This is where at the point that I finally completely decided. I'm not even returning to the other crap. My next absolute focus is necromancy. Now, I wasn't just looking at the word. I've changed my mind about the subject I'm looking into now. Necromancy has become so complex, I need to look in deeper. Right?

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So I do dive deeper and it opens wide. Wide. One of the most complex things I've looked at so far is necromancy. So we're gonna refresh what we know and then collapse into the rest of it. So first mentioned by some Greeks in some Greek writing. The first use of it, by the way, the Greek writing was 2,700 years ago. And there are stories that indirectly mention it that are much older. And There are about nine to 10 different words in Greek describing the same word after and before then. The first mention of it being used is by the Zeus known collaborator Circe and a. An Egyptian man who came to her for assistance. It is believed it could be used to Communicate with the Shadow Realm. And it is believed to bridge a small temporal local gate to the Shadow Realm, allowing for passage. Now, it allows the user to create an ethereal illusion, also defined as a hologram of a being in the Shadow Realm.

Cristina: Oh, like a ghost?

Jack: Like a ghost of somebody actually on that side. So you can talk to them physically. See them here. Can be used to control the will of Shadow Realm beings. This is fascinating, because this is suggesting that everything it does somehow interacts with the fabric of the Shadow Realm itself.

Cristina: It can control Shadow Realm people?

Jack: Yes, and minds of Shadow Realm creatures.

Cristina: Who made this?

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: It seems really powerful.

Jack: Well, the person we actually have to look at is Cersei, because that's the first mention of somebody going to get help of. From. From somebody for this.

Cristina: But she working on Shadow Realm stuff. I know. Wait, does their team have Shadow Realm creature?

Jack: Greeks, yeah, they do. Forget who was their Shadow Realm thing.

Cristina: But yeah, they have a guy because that seems pretty crazy.

Jack: That's nuts, right? Ability to control the mind of Shadow Realm beings because their mind is made somehow different.

Cristina: You also can control dead people?

Jack: Well, it doesn't really say anything like that. I think they were just kind of assuming demons and creatures from the other side you could communicate, but it seems like they can just show you things from that side.

Cristina: But what about dead bodies here? Can't they do things to them?

Jack: You didn't come across any mention of anything like that?

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah. It was more of like bringing stuff from that side over. So it seems like everything they're doing is actually just interacting with Shadow Realm energy.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Like, they don't do anything on this side at all that isn't part of connecting over there first.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Which becomes even more interesting in a moment. But this definitely leads us to be by far one of the most dangerous things we've ever seen. The ability to control Shadow Realm creatures will.

Cristina: That's insane.

Jack: That's nuts as h***. But apparently it always required the user to have an aid device.

Cristina: That's what they call it. What is it?

Jack: Well, it's a handheld control device of some sort or a small device worn as a necklace. Can be manually operated or voice operated.

Cristina: So it's actual tech. What?

Jack: As far as they know the descriptor words when you translate them and try to find out any possible description for what they might be. It's like the word we would say for knickknack. It's a little knickknack that he would fidget with in his hand. And a thing would happen. They would either have it in their hand or they would wear it around their neck. Like tribal wear was the most frequent comparison. And the knick knack around the neck, you would either have to again, manually do something with it or both. The one that you could just hold or the one that you wear have also been seen in such a way that you can voice activate them.

Cristina: What?

Jack: So a person has held it, not done anything, but spoken to it. And then things have happened and the same has occurred for the one on their necklace. And I'm like, these are out here at some savage a** tech, bro. Yeah, because like this just the descriptions, it breaks down to knickknacks and doodads. The descriptors that people use. The, the. The linguists and the scholars who write this down and give us the English versions that I don't trust. Say necklaces and pendants in a one to one. That is not the word. And then when you check, these people had words for necklaces and pendants. So why do they need this other word that translates to a different word from ours? It's like they don't understand what the gadget is, but they knew what the jewelry you're claiming they're saying is.

Cristina: Yeah, but they know it's not that they're not gonna say, it's that they're just like. It's this thing.

Jack: Yeah, exactly what it is.

Cristina: But it's a thing that they have.

Jack: Exactly. Little gadget, a little thingy. A thingy. They had thingy. And like that's the reality of what they was written down and what was said. There was a thingy. Should have the thing.

Cristina: Who made the thingy? The thingy come from fairies from sea people from Shadow Realm itself?

Jack: Don't know. I do not know. I do not know. That s***'s crazy. Now, personal portals aren't used between earthrealm and Shadow Realm because they are two linked realms and are sort of reflections of one another. Which creates an interesting problem where if a person is moving around on Earth Realm, the opposing side of the portal is also just moving around in the Shadow Realm. To solve this, there are stationary locations, strategically selected, where you can control where the other site is based on where the exit already is. In the Shadow Realm. Build one on one this side, build one on that side. Maybe it's safer for me to walk to Mount Koth on this side than it is for you to travel over there in the Shadow Realm and get murdered by that thing.

Cristina: Explain that again. What's happening?

Jack: Portals Cannot be. They're not usually used for individuals.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yes. So portals aren't used between earthrealm and Shadow realms as an individual portal. Like personal portals, because there are two realms are linked and they're very similar and reflections of one another to some degree, which has odd effects. If a person is moving around a personal portal, you have a portable little device or something that could open a portal. You walking around means the other end of the portal is moving around in the shadow realm. So it's inefficient to know where the h*** you're gonna be.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because it's random how it works.

Cristina: So then how do you do it exactly?

Jack: To bypass this. The things built were stationary. El Castillo, Mount Ka, Mount Athos. Locations where you can cypress, where you can control. Because it's always there. It's always the same spot that didn't go anywhere. So the exit is always the same spot. You know where it's going. And again, maybe it's more beneficial for my civilization on this side. I have 15 miles of nothing but safety between here and Mount Ka, but you on your side have 10 miles of a h*** in the same direction. So it doesn't make sense for me to make the portal close to me and then you got to travel those 10 miles and die and never be able to get to me. When I could just make the thing in Mount Kaf and it shows up a little farther, but that's right in front of you in the Shadow realm and you could just jump in front so you could build it strategically because you always know where it is. That's the reason you don't have personal portals. You'd have to beat the the system of the personal portal. The problem of the personal portal, because you can't control the exit if you move, the exit moves because it's relative to where you open it.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Always an issue. Big problem. This is getting into granular details between the realms. So it's kind of heavy, almost sciency details about, you know, weird sci fi ideas. Now again, the bypasses giant civilizations made big things. El Castillo, stationary location. Mount Kopf, stationary location. Mount Athos, stationary location. Cyprus, stationary location. So how the h*** do does necromancy tech allow a person to move around with a personal portal and them actively know what's going to be on the other side if it violates a rule of physics, as far as we understand, between both realms? Well, I'll explain because I found that.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: What I just needed to explain how crazy complicated that issue really is.

Cristina: Yeah, but they Figured out, yes.

Jack: This is how advanced this is. These guys are breaking and you have.

Cristina: No hints of how it happened. Who started this?

Jack: I have no idea who started this. This is one of the big ones. I'm starting to piece this apart. I just found so much crap. It was just endless. So in the future we might figure it out. Yeah, yeah. This might be one of the biggest pieces we've been missing that we didn't even know to ask for. Because also in all the writings from everybody, everybody had a story of somebody going to a necromancer for assistance. That was always a desperate last, worst case scenario to go to a necromancer. But it was like, oh, everything else failed. We still can do this. Which means like, holy how op is that? That no matter what. Oh, we got the backup plan.

Cristina: It's a black backup plan. Dangerous.

Jack: Somehow though, something is dangerous about it and I don't understand what it is. Perhaps it's the interacting with the shadow realm aspect of it. I don't know.

Cristina: Maybe because maybe you could attract something you don't wanna.

Jack: I think the. Yeah, I think a lot of the ideology framing around it is that you got to understand that the people who were describing a lot of these things were primitive and were not really comprehending. So perhaps this is literally what they thought was the case. The shadow realm is not of intelligent beings, but monsters and demons. And if I fiddle with that, then monsters and demons will follow me home. Because again, they are thinking of the shadow realm as nothing but primitive, ignorant. But it's more or less the same.

Cristina: But they don't know that. Like the whole Halloween thing that we talked about before, kind of similar. That people were afraid of them coming out.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: They just wanted their relatives.

Jack: Yes. But they're actually right. There were some crazy. There are crazier things out there, but it's no crazier than creatures we have. And the same way you'd have to sort of mess up an attractor because you can go camping, it'll be fine. You are not attractive to a bear. But if you start leaving food around and you're reckless that you're told not to. Now you start attracting a bear. The same thing applies to everything. You can do the wrong thing and attract the wrong thing. And this applies to every creature.

Cristina: But people are afraid of wild animals equally. Of like going in the woods and running into a bear. That's equally scary probably than summoning some creature that's gonna.

Jack: Yeah, but it doesn't lead you to believe that all creatures on Earth Are just wild animals, which is essentially what a lot of people believe about the shadow realm. It's just a place of evil and darkness and nothing more. But no, there's people there. Just people. It's just a different thing that happened and developed somehow. Yeah. Before us. We're essentially a product of that, if anything. But I found solutions to this problem. They explain how it works. There are entire breakdowns dating far, far back Explaining how this thing works. So these are some of the explanations that actually elaborate on the technology, the literal technological aspects. And it should make so much sense.

Cristina: Okay, so.

Jack: So this is how this essentially happens. A bridge for communication or passages open through a higher realm referred to as the astral realm. Now, astral realm, I'm like, what the is this?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: No. I then bounce that in and start pulling, like, other words, other words. Somebody's gonna say something I've seen before.

Cristina: What did you find?

Jack: Well, the celtics equivalent of astral realm comes out to a world of magic, which you then take magic and find all the other Celtic words that match it. And fae and elfame and fairy are the other words associated with that same thing.

Cristina: That's very complicated.

Jack: So then you look for the other mentions that directly just translate astral realm to just astral realm, but in that language without it being a different word entirely. And you look at the words surrounding them, and they are also talking about a world of magic.

Cristina: Who's working with fairy magic? Who figured it out?

Jack: I don't know. I don't know. Somebody figured it out. And it's secretive, as. It's more secretive than the entire complicated series of secrets that we've cracked to the point that now we're coming across.

Cristina: Magic to control shadow realm. Like, this isn't.

Jack: This is. Yeah, this is higher level.

Cristina: So it basically, this is what people are afraid of. The sea people. We're figuring out that this is gonna end up being somehow related to the sea people. Yeah, we know they're powerful and the fairies are afraid of them. And the shadow realm are afraid. It like, come on.

Jack: Yeah, this is next level, right?

Cristina: Using fairy magic to control shadow realm creatures. How insane.

Jack: It's heavy. It's heavy. This is next level, man. This is next level. If that's the case, then the level at which we're grading the Elysians based on the Kardashev scale is wrong. Because you got to understand that we would need to pass quite a couple of stages before we get to the shadow realm. If we're talking scale wise, planet is first. That's One star is two. Oh, no. All the star. Right. All of the planet is one. No, all planet is. Yeah, I think all planet. All the energy of the planet. All the energy of the first star. That's number two. All the energy of the entire of a galaxy is number three. All the energy of a universe is number four. In between number four and number five, you should be able to create, manipulate, alter, and destroy universes. Which means you should be capable to be equal to things within that universe. In this case, as strong as something in the shadow realm that can make something like we are. That means that the Elysians aren't number two.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Elysians have somehow.

Cristina: They might be number one. They might be over fairies.

Jack: No, no, no. Not. Not ranked wise. I mean, on the Kardashev scale, instead of. They're four.

Cristina: Four. Okay. What's number five?

Jack: Number five would have to be the multiverse. You'd be able to control multiverses.

Cristina: Okay. We don't know that they're not there, though.

Jack: We don't know. The scale continues to grow and they're the most likely culprit for what's going on here.

Cristina: Okay, this is insane. Because, like, then what? What? And then they're afraid of Jesus.

Jack: We don't know that.

Cristina: Insane.

Jack: We don't know that.

Cristina: And they don't.

Jack: Like, they're trying to keep Jesus from them. And Jesus has ability with just knowing stuff. Jesus has some Santa Claus properties.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: You know, he just knows stuff. So it's problematic. They need to be able to keep things away from a guy who just knows stuff. Something about what they're doing.

Cristina: They don't want everyone else to know the stuff that they know. Like, why would they want everyone to have this necromancy abilities, especially the shadow people. Like, I don't know. This is pretty big.

Jack: Yeah, this is pretty huge. It's pretty nuts.

Cristina: He just knows it. He could just share his secret even if he didn't know it. Know it. Like just looking at a book randomly and just sharing that knowledge with everyone by accident. Like that's what he does. And they're afraid of that.

Jack: Okay, so let's go over this again. The bridge for communication or passage is opened through the astral realm, AKA Elfhame, and to the shadow realm. It's through Elfame and to the Shadow Realm.

Cristina: Ridiculous.

Jack: This is a bypass for the problem they have of a moving exit point of a moving point B because you're moving at point A Song. So how it works by bridging through the higher realm the entry and exit points meeting in this higher realm. Elfame can be fixed or tied together so that they seamlessly go from one to another like a tube.

Cristina: I think fairy trees have to do with this.

Jack: 100%.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They totally have to bring that.

Cristina: Because we know those might be dead fairies. Maybe. We don't really know. The guess is dead fairies.

Jack: Yes. This is. Yeah. I feel.

Cristina: I feel they're connected to murdered fairies. They have the fairies to make these special. Whatever you want to call them. Plants. Which not might be plants at all, but some other tech that links the three already. These might have to do with the bridge.

Jack: Yeah. And no. We know that they've been working on portals for the longest too. Yes, we know they've been working on portals. And we didn't know. We thought was just for them to get from one to another. Tricks, bro. There's tricks out there. And they were trying to figure out some tricks or did figure out some tricks. And we're piecing together. It reminds me of this game. It's a lot like what's happening with this. All the research we're doing. It's called. It's a game like a PlayStation game. And there's really tiny planets and there's a time loop happening. And you're trying to figure it out. And as you go through the time loop, you understand the time loop more. And. And you just try to find out the history of this time loop and the world surrounding it.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Outer world or outer wilds or something like that. Wow. And how we continue to find information feels like that. Because it's out of sync. A lot of time. It's out of order. But again, based on the chronology of these events, the first couple of events having it are way beyond the first couple of stones being made, but before Jesus in a nice warm spot. This also serves to make sense as to why things like Joseph the golem and things like Arthur were easier to make. Because it was way better abilities happening way before that we didn't come across and are probably way more secretive.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But bridge cut through the top part of a realm. Not top of part of a room, but a higher realm. By bridging through the higher realm, the entry and exit can be linked to each other. So either be in really close proximity or tied together. Because you can fix them in this higher realm. You cut through here with one half of the tube and you fix the exit that enters from Earth to the. To Elfhame. You fix the Elfame exit because it's not connected to your Movements.

Cristina: No, it's connected to those trees.

Jack: Yeah. It's somehow stationary. And then you grab the end that comes out of Elfame into the Shadow Realm and you fix that stationary. Now you can make these two completely stationary and they won't move. Tie them to each other. Now, the point that you have in the Shadow Realm isn't moving when you move in Earth Realm. Thus completely shattering the original problem of not being able to move the portal because the destination would move with it. Boom. Necromancy technology. Solving problems at higher thinking.

Cristina: It was very magic.

Jack: Very magic. That's elevated thinking and that's fire. Which that's crazy because it does allow for the simultaneous use of both insane.

Cristina: Are we sure these aren't fairies themselves? Somehow I don't understand. How is it happening? How are they using fairy tech like this?

Jack: I don't know what to tell you, man. Additionally, there have been teachers of this information, but the circumstances. And there have been. There's a few teachers, five total in the last 5,000 years that starting roughly about 3,100 BC to about now.

Cristina: Are they fairies?

Jack: Don't know. It's unknown who they are. They just barely get mentioned. Always relative to necromancy and being teachers of necromancy. Because I'm just doing a massive search for anything relative.

Cristina: So is there no description of these things?

Jack: There's no. No, there's not. Nothing. Nothing about them. Just a couple of the roughest of details. So the teachers of Necromancy exist throughout the centuries. Obviously there are five spread out. It's unclear where in time there are. They're placed.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah. Exactly where in time they're placed. I just know where the latest is. And the earliest was about a thousand years ago. But it's like.

Cristina: And locations. Then you don't know where?

Jack: No. I can tell you the cultures that mention them, but it's unclear where these people venture out of where they live far off to go learn it.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They always go to some. The only one we know for sure is the one in Greece, which is Cersei. Outside of that, everybody else ventures off to some other mystic place super far away to go learn the thing.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: So it's always vague. It's always anonymous. It's always in West Bubba. Everybody has the same thing. They go on a quest that eventually leads them to be blinded or to lose consciousness or something. So they don't know where they are and they wake up in a place that they cannot leave. And then they either get the information or get the.

Cristina: It's so Crazy because Jesus was definitely had this power.

Jack: Yeah. And this feels like an abduction, which we've discussed before as well. Being very like just elation abducting people. Because like you're just traveling and you go blind or you pass out and then you wake up in a place you can't escape, where you learn this knowledge and then you come back from that with it. Like what the f*** is that?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Sounds crazy. And you learn it from some anonymous higher intellect. So how much higher are they?

Cristina: Enough to think they're aliens?

Jack: Enough to be beyond the scope if they're. Again, if they're controlling shadow creatures, how the. The leap, the technologic leap between where we are and where that would be. And not just where we are and where that would be, but where the Elysians would be or where we thought they were and where they would have to be is still so colossal. We're not talking two, three stars. We're not talking the great void. We're talking. That's ancient old garbage to them, this tech. The Great Void. Oh, the great Void. Completely vacant black spot in space of millions of entire galaxies. Fully dark because all their stars are trapped inside of Dyson spheres. That is just ancient technology by comparison to what it seems like the Elysians are capable of doing. And it's absolutely possible they're out here in the shadows teaching people how to do these things.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Yeah, why? But of these very few details, they all mentioned the same almost requirements that the people had to have in order to go in to these practices to begin with. Otherwise they would be okay. They wouldn't even be considered. And people were rarely considered at all. There was a whole process. Eliminate. If you think Yu Yu haka show you think the bunch of people who had to fight just to get Guinan's interest. And only two of them would train with her and. Or one of them maybe. I think Yusuke was the only one who's gonna train with her. And then she made an exception for Kubara or whatever the f*** the case may be. But essentially that, oh it's a legendary somebody who does whatever. The legendary, blah blah blah.

Cristina: But involved blood.

Jack: I don't know. Very unclear. That's the point. We're back to crazy amounts of secrecy.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: That we barely know anything about. And I'm sure beyond this point information is going to start breaking down. If we start entering level four on Kardashian scale tech. I guess it's gonna fall apart quickly. But they all had the same requirements, which is a series of knowledge and disciplines required to then become just considered. And you're probably going to be rejected. To then be mentored by whoever the f*** these random nobodies are to get the abilities, or at least the opportunity to. Here's the offer. Try your best. You know. So. So they must know Latin. Anybody who did not know Latin had to start studying Latin. Didn't know how to read. Not happening for you.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: We're talking long ago. Learn Latin. You have to learn Latin. If you do not know Latin, you must study Latin, because one, the teachers will only communicate to you in Latin, and two, although people have translated their works, in the more modern cases I've come across, they will not allow you to use that. Okay. They must be familiar with the technical specs and inner workings of Elysian technology.

Cristina: Are you positive? Does not make sense.

Jack: That ain't even it. Because they must also be familiar with Shadow Realm technology.

Cristina: What is happening? There's more.

Jack: They must also be familiar with Elfame technology.

Cristina: How? How's that even possible? How can a person just know about those three things? And these are human beings that are chosen because this makes no sense.

Jack: I don't know of anybody who's been chosen. I know of people who go to the trials.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: I don't know if anybody.

Cristina: There's no way anyone passes this.

Jack: I don't know of anybody who becomes one of these things other than Cersei. Everybody else is extremely anonymous.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So it's really complicated to come across anything.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. It's absolutely absurd. And the last one is, you must be familiar with the Philosophy of Usage. This phrase threw me so off that I have no idea what to do with it. I looked this up a million different ways and in a million different places. The Philosophy of Usage. Weirdly enough, I found it over and over, but a lot of the times I found the Philosophy of Usage I found by itself, like, as a. Like you finished a paragraph, there's just empty space, and then it just says, the Philosophy of Usage.

Cristina: Understand?

Jack: I don't either. There's no context to help me find what the f*** that means. Obviously, we're talking the translated text, but when you find out. Okay, translate this to that language, mass search the entire document. Where does this show up? Random bottom of a page. Nothing else with it. Okay. Read everything else on the page. Translate all that. Okay. Unrelated to the random one line. The Philosophy of Usage.

Cristina: What does that mean?

Jack: You must be familiar with the Philosophy of Usage, be able to communicate in Latin and be familiar with earthrealm. Shadow Realm and Elfame Tech in order to simply be considered. And then you might still be rejected. And also, I don't know where the h*** these people go. It's very clear that it's somewhere way the f*** out there somewhere. And they know of somewhere. They don't know where. And they know that I gotta find it. That's the quest. I gotta go find it. And they do. But it's also very vague. And they're always there suddenly.

Cristina: Does it have to do with the passage of usage? I want to know what that is.

Jack: The philosophy of usage.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: I don't know. I don't know what the that means. I don't know. I don't know what the h*** any of this is. This is crazy. Somebody just broke. Breaks a hole or knows how to bridge through energy in Elfheim. That's crazy for several people. Or it might be the same guy.

Cristina: I don't know. Is he related to fairies?

Jack: And exists through quite a large period of time in some of the most recent of these things that we have seen. With exception for things like a new.

Cristina: Crazy idea about the. What are those sea people called again? What are we called?

Jack: The Elysians.

Cristina: The Elysians. They are somehow fairies. Maybe we know the Shadow Realm God made them, but maybe he made them based on fairies.

Jack: I don't think he manually went out of his way and made them specifically based on how the story goes. It looks a lot like the existence of man as the older ape. Or not man. I guess not man, because this weren't man. But the Elysians in their primitive state, that was just natural development. Okay, like, he showed up. No, he did meddle with them. Fair enough. He didn't meddle with the apes, then leave, then show up after they'd advanced enough and then spoken with them. But he didn't make them. He just meddled with existing creatures.

Cristina: Well, you don't know how he meddled with them. Like, did he give them fairy blood? We don't know.

Jack: Yeah, it just says that he altered their DNA.

Cristina: Yeah, I'm wondering if maybe with some fairy DNA. I don't know how, but he knows a lot about fairies that we don't know. He knows a lot about. A lot that I don't understand.

Jack: Who this necromancer?

Cristina: Whoever this person is the leader of the Shadow Realm. The ones that made the.

Jack: Oh, you mean the elders. The, like, ancient ones, like Al and Susan.

Cristina: Yes, whoever made them. Whoever made all of us.

Jack: Oh, you mean the sh. Yeah, the Shadow Realmers who made the Earth Realm?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like Galdabaoth?

Cristina: Yes. Insane.

Jack: Yeah. That's some upscale power stuff. That. Because they're above the levels of the Shadow Realm, they're the top tier of that. And whoever these people messing with necromancy are. Are scary to those people.

Cristina: To what people?

Jack: To the top tier in the Shadow Realm based on this. Because they can just skip the Shadow Realm. You can abuse the Shadow Realm, be mobile and vanish at will. That's op.

Cristina: That is. How did they do it?

Jack: I don't know. I don't know. It's crazy. The fact that this. It was possible to piece together through enough different sources how this functions was really dumb. Nope.

Cristina: But what's that last thing? It doesn't make sense. You got no info on it? Not even tiny hint to what you can find?

Jack: I couldn't find anything on the philosophy of usage. I could find everything on the philosophy of usage of it's everywhere. I can't find anything on the philosophy of usage. As in it's never defined. It's always alone.

Cristina: Not even hinted at what it could possibly mean.

Jack: No. The only two contexts you see it in are when it's mentioned by itself, absolutely out of context, and when it's mentioned as a requirement for somebody about to take this trek. That's it. And they also don't clarify. So you know they don't know. You know they don't know. And a lot of people never get too far on the quest.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And the people who get really far on the quest usually don't make it. Anyone who make it really far on the quest and make it don't realize they make it. They're just there suddenly. Sort of like they still don't know where it is. Like they might have been close, but it could have been on the other side of Earthfall. You know, if you're getting f****** abducted.

Cristina: I guess I don't get it. Because it's the top three things than Latin for some reason, which feels like, okay, human.

Jack: No. All the most important.

Cristina: Then the philosophy. I don't know. It's haunting me. What could that mean? Is that like combining all four or something? You have to understand that you first have to know each thing and then how to combine each thing with each other. I don't know.

Jack: No, because there's a guy we know in the Shadow Gods team who knows how to merge Shadow tech. And by the way, we were talking about that guy becoming more important because we thought it was stupid that he was just picked up because he could merge the two techs or I did. And then you were like, it's about merging. And like. Yeah, exactly.

Cristina: This seems like. Yes.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, it's totally going. But you remember, right?

Cristina: He gets it.

Jack: That like tech merger.

Cristina: Yeah. He's in the Shadow Room though.

Jack: He's the Shadow Gods. Yeah, he's one of those dudes. So. I don't know. This is. It's been really twisting my head.

Cristina: That's very complicated. Where do you go from there? Can't even find what it is.

Jack: I don't know. I don't know. I gotta find what the h*** the philosophy of usage is. I gotta find out who the h*** these necromancers are that are teaching people or showing them or what? I don't know. I don't know.

Cristina: So uncle, where are they from? What are they?

Jack: Where are. Yeah, where are they? What are they? Ah, it'd be crazy if we came across a different group.

Cristina: Group. Oh my gosh.

Jack: Or rogue elves.

Cristina: No, that doesn't make sense. Or maybe rogue elves. Maybe more likely badass.

Jack: I hope it's rogue elves. You know how cool that is? There's.

Cristina: There has to be the snakes.

Jack: Yeah, there's rogue Naga. Oh, you think these are Naga helping people?

Cristina: Yeah, we have the rogue elves. They're Nagas.

Jack: Some of them are. You think there's some rogue fairies?

Cristina: Yes, fairies, elves. It's the same thing.

Jack: Elves aren't Naga.

Cristina: But they're fairies.

Jack: They're fairies. Yeah.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They're like human looking.

Cristina: They're human looking. Oh, aren't the Nagas?

Jack: No, the Nagas are serpents.

Cristina: Sometimes serpents, sometimes humans.

Jack: Elves are made by Elfhame to push people's abilities down.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I guess supervise her abilities.

Cristina: You think some of them are rogue?

Jack: I don't know what the h*** is going on. I have no idea what the f***. This s*** sounds so ridiculous. Every time we find some new scalar for power, it's more ridiculous than the last. And we've gone from simple people who are slightly more powerful and technologically advanced than the people surrounding them to. These people are potentially so strong that universal powers couldn't put a stop to them. Talk about Goku on some s***. That's the real world Goku.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Anyways, that is what I came up with when I dove in the direction of necromancy.

Cristina: Ridiculous.

Jack: Apparently it split open the whole schnozzle.

Cristina: There has to be something else. We have. There's more. There's definitely more.

Jack: There's always more.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: There's literally no end to this. It just gets deeper. And bigger and wider and huger and.

Cristina: Fatter and juicier and never makes any more sense.

Jack: Yeah, it makes. I mean that's what that's gonna happen. It's gonna get way more abstract the higher up we go. But unlike finding out about things from really really really really really really really really really long ago go, it seems way easier to track down multiple sources for things more recently because there's way more records on it. And even if they're super secretive, it's hard to erase absolute mention as more people know how to write as more people leave some evidence of a narrative.

Cristina: And do you think you'll find something Morisa?

Jack: Yeah, a bunch of this stuff. Although it started pretty late, necromancy was active as like with record until pretty recently. It's still used pretty frequently now. It was way active, not just way in the past. It was actually more scarce back then. It seems to have had a big moment in the middle ages and it seems to then again have had a pretty big moment in the 16 and early 1700s which that coincides perfectly when you think about that the early 1700s 1700s leads to the birth of Draco who is the guy who had the alicorn handed to him by the so like there's a lot of you know, the closer to now we get the more sources we find more people who will just again random just captain happen to jot down about the freaking Antonio Draco.

Cristina: Yeah but like weirdo on his boat.

Jack: Okay, yeah. As more people can just do that it becomes harder and harder to erase your existence. When you show up capture casually it's further back that it breaks down. I was trying to find out origin stories from El's time.

Cristina: Impossible.

Jack: Yeah, it becomes really difficult but instantaneously I can tell you that there were a couple within just last a thousand five hundred years.

Cristina: Okay, so you can talk more about that next time.

Jack: All right, we're sure. Anyways, if you guys want to leave us some info, some translations, some opinions, some ideas, some interpretations I suppose was more what I was aiming for for the information we have provided. You guys can do that on our socials. You can hit us up at just convopod on X, on Instagram, on Facebook.

Cristina: On TikTok and remember to subscribe and rate and review the show.

Jack: Yes. And this show is great to share by word of mouth. Be sure to go scream it at people and tell them hey, go listen to the rambling podcast and you will find out about the great secrets of the universe.

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

Jack: California was down. They're like, whatever, dude. You can brainwash those people into anything. Just should have kept the tech in California. But no, you have to backtrack California because that got sloppy too. You pass the digital law. Cause that even the Californians were like.

Cristina: Bro, what's going on?

Jack: What the. Yeah, like, what the is going on? You just cool with kids being taken and then mutilated somewhere? What you need to an excuse to cause them to bleed? Well, we can. Oh, yeah, we can do these surgeries. Mastectomies, double mastectomies on children. Yeah, that makes sense. Totally. We can chop boy's p**** off. It makes total sense.

Cristina: That's for adrenochrome, too.

Jack: All of that gets you a hold of blood. You get to cut people open. You get to create incisions that blood is going to come out of. You have to keep them alive. Oh, you know, you need several surgeries. Thousands of children need several surgeries. Who knows the process that was taking place on the island? I am sure they weren't just killing the kids. That's not efficient. You feed them, you keep them horrified, you keep them alive, and you drain them consistently. A supply was the supply island. We need to somehow figure that system out again. They were like, oh, we're f****** gonna create a medical issue, or we take the children. What did they say? You could. Your. Your child protective services could take your children and they could put your child through the transitioning process.

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

+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 Ramblin 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 their most baffling ideas.

Cristina: Sounds epic, I guess.

Jack: Sounds epic enough. You think like. Like it could be used as a movie trailer. The world's most absurd and baffling ideas. No, it's. There's a specific, like, rhythm or, like cadence or flow to how these movie people speak. Right. Like just being epic isn't good enough. There's a rhythm to something else. To the world's most epic and baffling ideas. You see, there's like a thing that. That's happening. Like a cliche sound. You gotta approach.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling. Ide.

Cristina: Now say as a boy talking about.

Jack: Ghost stories on YouTube, a boy talking about. I gotta remember their flow.

Cristina: They have a specific flow, too. They all sound the same.

Jack: Yeah, it's like.

Cristina: It's like a question type of thing.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you know, you know. So it would be. Welcome to Rambling Pod. Welcome. Welcome to the Rambling Pod. No, man. How would it work? Welcome to the Rambling Podcast. Oh, I got it. Welcome to the Rambling Podcast, the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas.

Cristina: Close.

Jack: There's something almost there. Almost.

Cristina: It has to sound more like a question. More. Just a little more.

Jack: No, it's. It's not even just a question, right? Because it could be. Welcome to the Rambling Podcast.

Cristina: No, that's a question.

Jack: It's a. It's. Again, it comes down to flow. It's like saying, welcome to the Rambling Pod. No, man, I lost it. I lost it.

Cristina: When you had it at first, when you said something random, you had it the first thing.

Jack: I don't know if you look. No, no, no, no.

Cristina: It's that. It's that.

Jack: It's not even a question. It doesn't matter if it's a question.

Cristina: It just sounds weird, goes downwards at.

Jack: The end, counter to how we usually sound, which is an interesting thing for speech. I don't know how, like, language has evolved into such a way that we can just use cadence. I mean, Eddie Izzard has that joke where he's saying gibberish that sounds French but in the rhythm of a joke. The way it's structured and the way the punchline would Sound. And then the joke gets conveyed. Not a real joke, but you know when to laugh. And it's funny. It's actually funny. How it's structured and how baffled you.

Cristina: Are, even if you don't know what he's saying.

Jack: Yeah, he's not saying anything. It's gibberish. You couldn't write this joke down if you wanted to. This joke could literally only exist in performance form because there's no real words to it. It's entirely based on cadence. How weird of a joke is that? But that's where language is. He exploited a weird feature of language where you can know. I'm asking you a question in any language.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Like that rhythm of that rhythm of. Is that a question or is it that rhythm?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Where are you going? What are you doing?

Cristina: Yeah. I go.

Jack: Yeah. If you hear. We're programmed enough to hear that weird. And that's that movie flow. And that freaking YouTube thing. I never even got it. Welcome to the Rambling Podcast, the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. No, it's off. Anyways, anyways, today we actually do still have to ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas.

Cristina: So you got some more absurd and baffling ideas for us?

Jack: Yeah, I do. So, quick recap, because it's been a while, we actually took a little break. We went on our little hiatus. Was it two days break? Two weeks break in seven years.

Cristina: That's crazy. That's pretty crazy. Yep.

Jack: Commitment.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So in that time, though, I was still doing my due, due diligence, and something weird kind of happened. It was a lot of time to dig into a single idea. And so let's recap real quick some of the important details that are related to this episode.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Primarily, we discovered recently that Elysians mixing up with humans, creating a hybrid, are called the Nephilim. We've heard of the Nephilim in the past.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But now. Now we got the Nephilim in our own text, and that is something astounding.

Cristina: Yeah, I don't think we've ever actually talked about them. Like, we never had an episode on Nephilim.

Jack: I don't even believe we've ever brought them up, which is fascinating. No, if they have, it's been so.

Cristina: Long, I think a guest brought them up.

Jack: A guest brought them up?

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah, because they were talking about weird stuff in the Bible or something. Oh, but that's, like, mad as small.

Jack: Yeah, you'd think. And until now, I didn't even. It didn't even cross my mind. But why through all these texts, religion like this is hidden. Hidden Way back there, bro. We came across the sea people mentioned in literal scripture before we came across. Like we learned how to track that before we even heard mention of this. But then the argument would be. Well, no, because the Norse were just human, right? Or do they stop being human? I still don't know. Okay, so we know that the. No, I think they just evolved. Right? That's the argument here. They weren't genetically modified, the Alicians.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Like they. They're not human, but they're Earthling. Like they just developed. But where the Greek.

Cristina: Like the Greek gods and their Norse gods are they.

Jack: Were they just human? Because all that came later. I think that's the point here, that all of them came from human. That's human plus technology. As opposed to the Elysians that are non human earthlings that evolved from a different bloodline. That they're human and way longer ago. I think that's where it kind of falls in, right?

Cristina: Yes, yes, I believe that's how it is.

Jack: Yeah. Anyways, so we have the Nephilim and the Elysian, which is an Elysian human hybrid. Now we've also heard for comparison of a Naga human hybrid, which was when a Naga took a human form. So convincing that they could give birth to a Naga human hybrid. Weird, weird. And we have never seen a shadow human hybrid.

Cristina: Very strange. But I guess not.

Jack: I mean, it would be impossible, I think, because in order to even have something close to a human physical body or to an earthly physical body, Lucifer needed a host and a whole science project.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: To get himself that body.

Cristina: I wonder if an Elysian and a Shadow person. Because shadow people did make the first life on Earth. So maybe the most ancient of life on Earth could maybe. I mean, we don't have any stories.

Jack: I think not. I think not. I think the spaces are literally different.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And I think when we have a Naga, a Naga is taking. It's forcing its body to become human. Otherwise it's not really physical. It might seem like a serpent and still be ethereal maybe or some other thing. Because the ethereals are essentially the shadow people.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The shadow things.

Cristina: The shadow things, yeah.

Jack: Unless the Naga are physical in that way. Like if I were to just touch a Naga, it's just. It just feels like a snake. I'm not going through it. It's not some other kind of. But then that would argue that Elfame and Earth are more closely related.

Cristina: Physical. I don't know. I don't know.

Jack: I've never thought about this before. Are Elfhame and Earth more closely related? And that's why people of Shadow can't mate with Earthlings. But a Naga can just take a human form in their biology. It's just close enough that they could do it.

Cristina: Weird. I don't know.

Jack: I never thought about this. And this is right in front of us.

Cristina: There's something there. I guess because of the Shadow person who did make the us.

Jack: Yes. And the fact that this. It seems to be that although this came after Shadow, there's something important about Earth.

Cristina: Yes. Why did they make Earth when they had the Shadow realm? What were they doing with fairy trees?

Jack: And what's special about Earth that we can use things that Shadow can. Yeah. Think about how crazy that is.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: And this comes up. This is the second time this come up. Right. Or the third. Where is some feature about us that's different than Shadow that somehow makes us closer to the thing that we're furthest from?

Cristina: Yeah, I don't know. Because we are an experiment. So I don't know.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. It looks more and more that way now. Minus the Naga, like I said, we have not seen shadow human hybrids. But also minus the Naga, we have not seen fairy human hybrids. I'm still debating whether the Naga are technically.

Cristina: Aren't they technically.

Jack: Are they fairies? Because they were made by. They're not natural. From there. They were made also as an experiment. Like Oros was made.

Cristina: Weird. Okay, so you're saying that both the experiment things can mate with each other. That is so weird. Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: But the Naga is just an Elfame experiment.

Cristina: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, we're just an experiment too.

Jack: Yeah, we're just an experiment too.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Now when we were looking at all of these things, we decided to go through them independently. That's how we discovered more about the Elysians. We discovered more about the Shadow teams. We know about the Earth teams. We know. All the different God teams we know. We talked about some fairies we knew. And one thing we focused on for two episodes actually were the Naga. Because there are a lot of interesting Naga. There's a lot of Naga that have existed. There's a lot of civilizations that were expected to be more developed that haven't. Also. What happened to those people's Naga after the civilizations collapsed? What they mean in all these abandoned ancient societies that have disappeared, but that we don't talk about Much because they never became something major. But that did have a Naga. Because at the time they were at the top of their game. Where are their Naga? If those are creatures from Alphane, they would outlive the out of us.

Cristina: They wouldn't go back to Alphane.

Jack: You think they would go back? Maybe.

Cristina: Maybe because there's such an organization there of like, hey, you go there, you go.

Jack: There could be. Maybe you get reassigned. Interesting. Like military style. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess that could work.

Cristina: That could work. Unless they. Well, some of them might do that. And some of them, because they seem like their own people too. Yeah.

Jack: Like they have independent thought.

Cristina: Yeah. They don't have to go back. If they felt like just hanging out, they would do that.

Jack: Yeah, some of them have. And we have read about that before.

Cristina: Some of them try to be leaders of random people.

Jack: Like, okay, why on Earth, right? Earth is the thing. Earth is a hot spot.

Cristina: I don't know, because I would say. I was gonna say they're not being watched on Earth, but they are because there's also fairies here watching everyone. So.

Jack: But maybe that's why they leave these civilizations. Unless out here it is the Wild west and like it's harder to force somebody once they're out here. Maybe an Elfame. Let's say Elfame is literally made of magic. And let's say one of these gods is the biggest, baddest God, but he's also a being too. Not just I am God, but like not thinking. I'm just all of space and everything. Okay, that's weird. That's just the universe, bro. But like an actual being. But that made everything. Right. And if you're in Elfame, maybe he controls literal the space time fabric you exist in. So he knows where you are at all times and you can't do it. So like you can't disobey over there.

Cristina: Okay, he could.

Jack: He knows everything you're doing. But out here, maybe the Reach isn't there. Maybe there's some reason they can't affect the space.

Cristina: But why talk about their queen?

Jack: They're. We're gonna talk about that today.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yes. Mab.

Cristina: Mab.

Jack: So in looking at the Naga we discovered it was a weapon.

Cristina: A weapon that couldn't kill them.

Jack: Yes. And it was gonna go kill the princess daughter of one of the three Naga king. Which brought up an interesting question. There are Earth weapons capable of killing Naga?

Cristina: There's no way. I mean, it's in Earth. But a Naga helped build the Earth weapon.

Jack: Yeah. No, no, no. I'm in any case, I'm saying they're weapons on Earth, not necessarily Earth. Weapon.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: There are weapons on Earth?

Cristina: I think so, yes.

Jack: Are there more? And what are they? So my intention was, as we've been doing lately, going through a very focused topic, I was gonna look at a bunch of different weapons that maybe have been remained. Like, how. How many are there? Could we get our hands on some of these? Right.

Cristina: Actually found something.

Jack: Well, I immediately stumbled upon the story of King Arthur. And as I was going through the story of King Arthur, which I thought was just a story, I started stumbling upon references towards scripture related to King Arthur. And that was weird because I thought that this was like fiction literature intentionally, but it turns out that it's classified under mythology as opposed to fiction literature. Yeah, they think this happened.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They think the written stories are a paraphrase, but they think it happened. At least a lot of people believe King Arthur was real and the sword was real. And I was like, what?

Cristina: Where? What is the special thing about the sword? I know it's stuck in the stone, but is there a reason that the wizard do that?

Jack: Did the chosen one.

Cristina: The chosen one did that?

Jack: Yeah. The prophecy goes that the chosen one, the true leader, the real king, the true king, is the only person who can please.

Cristina: No, I get that, but who put the stone. Who put the sword in the stone?

Jack: I have no idea where that sword came from. Yeah, because it's fake.

Cristina: It's fake.

Jack: So let me tell you the story. There's a stone.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And there's an anvil on the stone and there's a sword in the anvil one. Had you get the sword into the anvil.

Cristina: Yes, but what's happening there?

Jack: Yeah, exactly. So only the true king can get it. And so this guy Arthur then goes and he just f****** yanks his sword out. And because of the prophecy, he is. So Arthur takes the sword and he takes it into combat and the sword f****** breaks.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah, it broke the anvil. But it couldn't be f******. It couldn't break bone or whatever the h*** he was fighting. Anyways, it breaks. So he looks into it and through his research find finds out that this isn't the real one.

Cristina: What? There was a fake.

Jack: There's a fake. He needs to trade the fake one for the real one. And so he needed to take a journey to this place. Somewhere in the forest beyond the marsh, in a fountain created from the natural marsh water and the spring water surrounding it. And it goes into it gets darker and darker as you're Going into the forest, and you go through this marshy area, and then boom, there's just an open sort of grove that is a fountain. And it's lake sized. It just goes on forever. You can see the lining of the tree all the way in the back. But it's just this giant lake. And so it's very shallow, and there's a tiny island in the middle, and it goes to the middle. And once it gets to the island, the lake rumbles and out comes a lady.

Cristina: The fairy lady.

Jack: Fairy lady? Yes, Literally, a fairy lady. And he after. Because he already knew he had to bring this to her, so he. He hands this to her, and she gives him the real. They're both called Excalibur, where one is a fake and one is a real one.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So he gets the real Excalibur, and this sword makes him invincible. It makes him immortal. Literally. It creates some sort of shield around.

Cristina: Him from death itself.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He becomes immortal. As long as he has it, he cannot die.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: As long as he has it, he is the greatest in combat. He can predict anyone's moves. He has great strength. He can pierce anything with the sword. It's true invincibility given to him by this fairy.

Cristina: Why do the fairy care? Why do they have.

Jack: That is exactly what the. I wanted to know.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Why, bro?

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Okay. Did you put the thing in the rock, too? Fairy.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Why? Okay, great. You got a system. Somebody pulls a. I don't know why you couldn't just put the real one. Let them wander with that.

Cristina: Yeah, but.

Jack: Okay, you put the fake one, and they. They bring you the fake one, and you give them the real one. And now. Okay.

Cristina: Or what is the fake one is the real one. But, like, for the fairy, it's the real one, and they couldn't exactly. Like, it was a train. What is that the real one? Well, for them, the real one.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: That has to be the fairy killer, right?

Jack: The one that was in the rock.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He used it on something that wasn't a fairy.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And that wasn't its purpose. So it broke.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then he brought it.

Cristina: And the prayer is like, yes, this is.

Jack: Give me that.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I was wondering about this the entire time. Right. And this is gonna get more convoluted as we go.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: So let's. Let's hold that thought.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because that's fire as h***. I didn't think about this. This guy really tried to pull. He got this sword. He pulled the right sword. But then how did the narrative get out there, she must have spit out the narrative so that the. The. You know the lore of you get the sword, take it to the lady.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then the lady's gonna give you the real sword. And she just gave you a f****** sword. And. F*** it, bro. Thank you. Here's a real reward.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: A sword is gonna make you God to them and s***. You need anything else, come back. But you gave me the sword that can kill me.

Cristina: You can't spread that.

Jack: But, like, interesting.

Cristina: If you get everyone to pull that sword thinking it's the one that's gonna. I mean, it is doing amazing things. You're just not gonna tell them what it is. It's just gotta be believable enough. Yeah, I don't know.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, no, yeah, they know about the sword. They pull the fake sword, and then when they dig deeper, they find out there's two. And they got the fake one and. No, it's the real one, but the fairies themselves made a different one. And it's like, no, there's a real sword and we're gonna. We'll really, literally. It's a literal reward for anybody who can. Yeah, whoever the f*** can bring us that s***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Well, maybe that's absolutely the case. Let's go down and I'll explain why as we get there.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I originally thought, like I said, the story was just literature, but when looking into it, it became more and more weird because there are many books of reference. Many books. It's the Bible, before the Bible got put together. It's many people's different accounts of the.

Cristina: Same series of events of author or.

Jack: Elder and all the people surrounding him. It's crazy that different people wrote about the same around the same time. I thought this was just fiction literature.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But people from different areas are like, no.

Cristina: Are their stories different or something?

Jack: They're almost identical. It's like the Bible. It's like somebody else using different words to say the same.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It's really, really interesting. Now, the point of King Arthur comes down to the story of the sword Excalibur. Like I said, the lady in the lake provides a sword in exchange. The real Excalibur quote the real Excalibur in exchange for, quote, the fake Excalibur. But only the true king can take out the sword. Where'd that legend come from? Does she spit that legend? The true king can take it, I guess so that everybody comes and tries to f****** pull it.

Cristina: But it makes no sense to have that to be like, why would the swap makes no sense. If that's the real sword, like, how do you convince someone? You.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. It's weird, right? Well, no, I guess it's part of the quest. Oh. The sword comes with a quest.

Cristina: But I guess it's because they can't pull it out. They really can't. Like, if a fairy tried to pull out that sword, it was gonna be impossible.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I'm saying. They needed a human to pull that sword out and bring it to them.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And they're gonna really reward that human.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And I think, understanding this, they somehow put out the story of somebody's gonna. If you pull it out, you're gonna be real king. You'll be the real king. And then everybody tries to pull it out. Get the most people trying to pull it out until somebody does.

Cristina: Yes. And then give them the actual sword. That's gonna help them be the king.

Jack: Yes. Give them a sword that'll make that wish f****** come true.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And you get your death weapon.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And like I said, the wielder of the sword becomes invincible to weirdos. The sword, because he has it, regenerates his health. The sword is unbreakable. Not the one he pulled from the rock, but the one you get from the fairy. That's unbreakable. It could pierce anything and can kill all things. Allegedly.

Cristina: Allegedly.

Jack: Because I don't think that one can kill a fairy.

Cristina: No, probably not. No all human or earth thing.

Jack: So now, like I said, the point of King Arthur is a story is about either him being the chosen one or the sword. Excalibur is the point of the story, but actually the sword has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that he got a f****** sword that actually allows him to accomplish the thing. Had nothing to do with the f****** sword. I thought Excalibur was the point. No, Excalibur is just how, you know, he's the chosen one. The end.

Cristina: But it has its powers.

Jack: Yeah, it helps him do the thing, but it's Excalibur itself. Doesn't matter. King Arthur is the chosen one.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: You know, it's not. The sword is the great. That. No, whatever gives him some ability, but it only enhances his already greatness or whatever the f***.

Cristina: Okay. Yeah. He had to be great in the first place to get the sword.

Jack: Yeah, exactly. So it's just more of his specialness as opposed to the sword being special itself. Other than it's just. Oh, no, he's special. So he has a special sword.

Cristina: Okay. Whatever.

Jack: Now, looking into that. Okay, whatever. The sword is less meaningful. So then, what was the fairy's ultimate goal before we came to the conclusions we just came to? And in doing so, I just looked into the lady of the Lake.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Surprisingly hard to find. Again, fairies, hate fairies. Surprisingly hard to find. Anything on these f******?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The lady of the Lake doesn't have an identity. That's why she's referred to as lady in the Lake. This is the most secretive fairy thus far that we know exists.

Cristina: But we know about other lake or fairies that live in water. They usually kill people, though.

Jack: Yeah, we know many of them.

Cristina: Yes. They usually.

Jack: Murder. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's f*****. But this one works a lot like a crossroads demon. She just kind of hangs out there. She's well known for making deals with people.

Cristina: So she's made more than one deal with.

Jack: She's made more than one deal.

Cristina: Oh, Camino. What's she doing making deals with people?

Jack: I don't. She never made another deal with Arthur, if that's what you're asking.

Cristina: No. What's her other deals?

Jack: Just, you know, giving people fortune and stuff.

Cristina: For what?

Jack: Vague. I'm telling you, it's really hard to find anything.

Cristina: Are they giving her special items? They say like they traded this special spoon for whatever.

Jack: Oh, interesting. Your question is, is she collecting all the things?

Cristina: Yeah. Like these are. She's probably hunting for specific fairy items that she can't grab herself.

Jack: Is she bound to the f****** lake?

Cristina: And is she bound to the lake? Yeah.

Jack: Why is she bound to the lake? This actually brings up an interesting question, because fairies. There are the fairies in lakes that we are familiar with and we never question, can they leave the f****** link? Because they always bring people to them. Why don't they go out and look for people? And they can look very human.

Cristina: Yeah, I think they can go out of the lake, but you gotta stay around the lake. Yeah, they're like Alec. They're not Alec. Yeah, yeah. Like, it's their environment that they live in, which is weird that they'd have limits.

Jack: Well, the difference here is when we're talking about incubus and succubus and mermaids. Actually, mermaid's probably a fairy. But incubus and succubus, we're definitely talking about shadow creatures.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That are bound to that environment.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Why is a fairy bound to that environment?

Cristina: I don't know. Maybe fairies are bound to specific environment.

Jack: It could 100% be because we know.

Cristina: They'Re watching specific people and stuff like that. That they have these jobs of just watching, but maybe that's really like you're stuck there. We don't really know about the fairies that are watching, but maybe they can't leave what they're watching.

Jack: Yeah. And not only that. Oh, s***, I get what you mean. Like elves, maybe they have to be there at all times. They can't even like take a break and go. Yeah, that 100% could be the case. On top of the fact that maybe there are so many different kinds of fairies that they like, really, they are just bound to certain environments. Like, even if this is a fairy, it's a fairy that again. How similar is Earth and Alphane?

Cristina: No idea.

Jack: And is there water in Elfame that works the same as water on Earth? And this is the little. The only place that has that exact thing allowed. Like, this fairy would normally not be able to come down to Earth unless.

Cristina: There'S a bunch of water.

Jack: Unless there's this exact condition.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Of water.

Cristina: When we think about fairy homes, though, it's very. It's nature. You just live in nature. So you don't hear about city fairies. Except for those, I guess, that are stealing shoes or fixing shoes, whatever, you know. But those are warrant in cities either. Those are.

Jack: Those are in rural a** towns.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah. So they like nature. Nature, yeah.

Jack: Very related. Actually, humans are the only ones not humans. Earthlings, I suppose, are really the only ones who tend to go against nature quite heavily. Because shadow also goes with its nature in many aspects, and so does Elfame. Everything is based on nature. They prefer being in nature.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We're the only ones who defy nature.

Cristina: Which I guess keeps us safe from these other things if they mean us harm. But I don't know. That's an interesting idea.

Jack: It seems like the more civilization that happens, the further away from that we get. But the closer to these rural areas we get, the more that these things are prominent and people get confused. They call it hauntings, they call it this, they call it that. Oh, I saw a ghost. So I saw a demon. No, you're closer to nature. And nature is where this other s*** is.

Cristina: Yes. And it could be scary and they can eat you, but like, that's like nature, nature. There's some deadly things, there's some not so deadly things.

Jack: A hundred percent. A hundred percent. This reminds me that witches are considered a terrible thing, but they often connect to nature.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah. And some of them like to live in the middle of nowhere.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: So like that or like those are the stories.

Jack: I would argue that makes Absolute sense. Because you train and learn how to understand these environments and things that wander these environments, you're actually more familiar with things of shadow and things of Elfame. By being in nature where you interact with it enough to get adjusted and used to it, it makes sense. You want to know a witch, even if you don't want to hang out with a witch. Because you can always go for resource and information.

Cristina: Yeah, there's something there.

Jack: Yes. So we spun way out. There's a weapon. Excalibur.

Cristina: Yes. And a fairy.

Jack: A fairy. This fairy is stuck in this fountain.

Cristina: And she's known to trade things.

Jack: She's known to trade things. But the only time that it was significant, what she traded was with the secret story of what to do with the Excalibur.

Cristina: Yes. Trading a sword for a sword, which.

Jack: Was trading the fake. The quote fake unquote for the quote real unquote. Which sounds like bullshit, but maybe it's just two different swords called Excalibur, and they both mean something different. And the one that she received is the true. Excalibur was the true. Well, no, it was the fairy killer. Excalibur. Enter Morgan Le Fay.

Cristina: Is that a fairy? I don't know.

Jack: It's actually confusing.

Cristina: What?

Jack: So Morgan le Fay is referred to in different texts as a fairy in one and the sorceress in the other. She could have been an earthling who mastered working with magic, or she could have been, I guess, three options. She could have been a shadow f****** person for all we know. And she could have been a fairy living with humans. When Arthur was on his quest to trade the sword, he almost died. And when he almost died, look and f****** behold. Morgan le Fay shows up and saves Arthur, nursing him back to health with her magic and assisting him to get that sword where it's going. Why?

Cristina: I don't know. But if she's a fairy, wouldn't she want the sword?

Jack: He has it. She should just leave with it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So why help him deliver the sword?

Cristina: Unless they're, again, not a fairy.

Jack: Fairy rank. Oh, fair enough.

Cristina: He's like, if you're a fairy, you'd.

Jack: Be like, then why is she delivering the sword?

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: Why is she helping him either way?

Cristina: I don't know what about.

Jack: Or has she just heard, oh, he pulled the sword. This is the guy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Oh, let me help him. He's the guy.

Cristina: Let him take. Let me take him to my friend. Yeah, that sword.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. Oh, s***. Yeah. My fairy friend needs the sword. He's chosen one and he's I already know the narrative too. He's gonna go get. So they could both be being duped here by the fairy. So you think Sorceress? Because she would have just taken the sword.

Cristina: Yeah, but if she knows, what's the plan, maybe she's in on it too.

Jack: Or she's not in on it, but she's assisting with the plan. Knowing the plan. Like, the idea is he should be delivering. Like, maybe she's one of the people who knew the story.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I was like, oh, no. He's supposed to deliver the sword to the fairy over there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And I'm good with fairies, cuz. Magic.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So I can assist him in getting over there. He needs to. It's his destiny. He's King Arthur. He pulled it out. He's supposed to deliver or whatever, you know?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So there's something about Arthur that's special. What the f*** is it? Why was he capable of taking the sword?

Cristina: Why does he know so much magical things?

Jack: Why are so many magical things.

Cristina: One of them, some guy. I forgot his name. There's a wizard dude that he hangs out with.

Jack: Yeah, well, I don't think he hangs out with.

Cristina: Whatever. But he's part of the story. Marlon.

Jack: Marlon.

Cristina: Yeah, something like that. I don't know.

Jack: So I look into Arthur and there's surprisingly little on Arthur as well.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah. There's more about what he's done than who he is.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: So most of his personality is pretty flat. There's nothing to know about him. His lineage doesn't matter as much who's around him. Yeah, he's just some dude, but. Or he seems to just be some dude. As far as we know. As far as a lot of the people reading or writing the stories. No. So obvious things about him are that fairies are fascinated with him.

Cristina: Interesting.

Jack: Arthur's main purpose before he gets told the greater things is to find the Holy Grail. He's already on the search for immortality. Also, the Holy Grail must be containing some of the fruits or some.

Cristina: Who took him on that? What?

Jack: The Holy Grail.

Cristina: Does he find it?

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Wasn't even the point.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because I wasn't looking. I was looking for the weapon. That's what matters.

Cristina: How do you know this isn't a weapon?

Jack: The Holy Grail?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The Holy Grail is also what Jesus drank from.

Cristina: Oh. What did that do to him?

Jack: To Jesus?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I'm sure it was just a consistent flow of blood he was drinking.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: They were always drinking blood and wine And I think that he thinks the Holy Grail is really the object, when really it was what was in the Holy Grail? Oh, which was his blood. I'm sure if he found that it.

Cristina: Was like, okay, it's here.

Jack: But it's just that.

Cristina: So he's a treasure hunter.

Jack: He's a treasure hunter.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Or we can call him an archaeologist.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You know.

Cristina: Supernatural items.

Jack: For supernatural items. Interesting, right? Weird guy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So he was already kind of in that.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Area. He's the jock of the supernatural world. But once he pulled the sword out, he learned in studying about. Whoa, I got it out. I'm looking now. And all this important stuff. There was a prophecy claiming he. He specifically would show up. This dude was already named Arthur. And Arthur would pull this sword out. And Arthur did show up one day and Arthur did pull the sword out.

Cristina: It named Author.

Jack: Yeah, the prophecy author.

Cristina: I should pull this sword out.

Jack: He had no idea beforehand.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: He found that afterwards, everybody knew about pulling the sword. Nobody gave a. About looking into it until the sword was pulled.

Cristina: And then they all saw.

Jack: Oh no, it really was him. It was always him.

Cristina: Weird. Okay.

Jack: That's kind of all the important. Everything else is just like events and action. I was like, okay, to get to the book, to get to the bullet points. Everything else is the fluff. It's like, wow, you suck. There's nothing else here. You just. Fairies love you. You are trying to get the Holy Grail and you were prophesized to. So then what the f***? Who. Who the h*** are you, bro? Why do you matter? Yeah, you're just some random treasure hunter guy. Could have been some other random treasure. Why you.

Cristina: By him.

Jack: Okay, who prophesied?

Cristina: Who?

Jack: Who prophesies? Who wrote the prophecy? Who said you.

Cristina: You found it.

Jack: Ah, that's where we enter with Merlin.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: But Merlin is known as a quite powerful sorcerer, known for his flawless record with prophecies.

Cristina: Okay, that makes sense, I guess.

Jack: Merlin is considered a bit of a menace. Why does whatever the f*** he wants is quite overpowered.

Cristina: So is he a prophet? Is he writing the future? Like, is he. Is he a menace? Because he's like, okay, I want this to happen and then it happens. And that's what makes him a menace.

Jack: At first I didn't have that thought, but ultimately, yes, at first my thought was he's. He knows the future, so he can affect the future.

Cristina: Oh, that's. Yeah, I guess that was obvious.

Jack: Yeah, that was my immediate conclusion. Like, okay, he's memorized. Not memorized but because he can see.

Cristina: The future, he can work anything to his favor.

Jack: He could work anything to his favor. This makes him a problem. For even fairness, you can move outside of their understanding of time. Yeah, that s***'s fire, right? Because even if they are way more powerful, you're untouchable. You know what's coming at all times, always, forever.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Oh, That's a f****** problem even the fairies can't solve.

Cristina: Yeah. Whoa. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. But let's talk about the fact that. No. He's so colossally overpowered that he can rewrite the events without having to interact with them. He can change what's gonna happen in the future.

Cristina: How do you know that?

Jack: Because he planned Arthur's entire everything.

Cristina: Oh. So what I said made sense. Okay. That's why. Okay.

Jack: Arthur is Merlin's attempt at his own version of Jesus.

Cristina: That is so weird.

Jack: It's just a guy with the destiny of learning he was the chosen one, then discovering his true power upon acquiring that weapon and then being the real one, true king. It's as to Arthur is a story of Jesus, and Merlin wanted his own Jesus.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: That is the real question. Right. Random other fact that I guess kind of makes things even a little more complicated. This guy can arrange the future however he wants and knows a future. So even if he couldn't arrange a future, he could interact with the future and change it regardless. He could also shapeshift, so he's kind of hard to track.

Cristina: He can shapeshift.

Jack: He can shape shift and See you coming.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: You see how quickly this guy. This dude. He's a human.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's just some guy.

Cristina: I don't know if he has some adrenal crown or anything. Like, he's just some guy.

Jack: Okay, well. Well, after literally saying out loud, what the. He's just some guy. I said that while looking this up. Just like, dude, he really is just. What the. I'm like, what the f*** is up with this human dude? Why is he so overpowered? And then I started looking for the fact that he and the word Elysium are so mentioned together.

Cristina: Stop lying.

Jack: Because we would look for C person. We would never find him under C person. But Elysium is used quite often. And we can use Elysium after finding out that the sea people are the Elysians and cross reference that with a lot of s***.

Cristina: And he's one.

Jack: He is known as a person to come from the far west in Elysium.

Cristina: Of course.

Jack: Of course. Merlin is an overpowered Elysian who's just one of the ones, yes. He's a recent print day, that's what, 1700.

Cristina: This is the most recent version of releasing him just hanging out. Wow, that's what, the 1500s or something?

Jack: Some like that. Right? That's not too far?

Cristina: Ridiculously far.

Jack: And it's not. I mean it's not now, no, but we know Van actively doing.

Cristina: I don't understand. Why did he not want that sword himself? So if it is a fairy killer, why did he help him take that fairy killing sword? To get the other sword.

Jack: I think Arthur's not human.

Jack: I think Arthur is literally a run at the experiment that was Jesus. And that sword only really works because.

Cristina: He'S some type of golem.

Jack: Arthur? Some kind of. Yeah, Arthur's some kind of golem. He's either some kind of God, whatever. Jesus and Joseph are.

Cristina: Yeah. These humans really.

Jack: And he could do things that Merlin can't. Yeah, but part of the thing that went wrong with Jesus was what? Well, you. Well first off, right off the bat it became dangerous and problematic.

Cristina: Yes. People expecting everyone.

Jack: Yeah, it was affecting everybody. So you worked out those kinks. But now this guy's gonna be stronger than you. So how do you control that situation? The prophecies and the narrative. Okay, so he wrote the prophecy about the thing the fairies manipulated. It's a very God devil situation. Right. The. The Elysian writes the story. He creates a prophecy that makes it to the public's ears and then eventually makes it to the one guy who isn't human, but is indistinguishable from human. The Nephilim. I guess not. He would have to be born of a woman that's human. Or maybe he is. Maybe. Maybe he is a Nephilim.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Oh s***. Is the point a Nephilim? Would that have just been made the most sense instead of all this other s*** that's going on? Because a lot of them are just running experiments. Why wouldn't just banging a chick work? Yeah, unless it doesn't.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: I don't know why. Why is it banned and then they're still trying to accomplish the same thing a different way. You're trying to make a human? No, because the point isn't to make it human. He wouldn't be a Nephilim. He has to be a fairy. That's what really what it is. He has to be half fairy or something. Anyways, so the story goes out about the guy who could do the thing. He goes and tries to pull the thing. That sword is in fact the real one. That can kill fairies. But the story isn't altered to say or not even altered the story. The meaning of words gets shifted enough.

Cristina: Thanks to the fairies to convince him to go to the fairies.

Jack: No, to convince him to erase the word fairy from the narrative. And so he uses that sword on normal combat. Maybe the story itself said this sword only works on fairies or something, but it got modified enough that it worked that part out, and then you use it on something else and then it broke. But then the second story they feed is the one you were talking about. Bring us the broken sword and we have the real sword you can use for combat. They can give you a sword. It can kill anything in the mortal world. In the mortal earth realm. They're super op next to it. This is the lie of the lady of the Lake versus the truth of.

Cristina: Merlin, who wanted to make a fairy killer.

Jack: Who wanted to make a fairy killer and have his Jesus there. We have a literal example in scripture of a guy making a weapon to kill fairies. We've been looking for the answer to this question forever. What is the point? Well, now we know to kill the fairies. Now the follow up question is, I, like, now I know why the fairies are scared. Especially with the Elysians existing. See, now my point is, why do the Elysians and also apparently a bunch of shadow people want to kill the fairies?

Cristina: They're all about experiments.

Jack: So I'm thinking that just to run more. It's science.

Cristina: Yeah, it's more about the science aspect. Like, what can we learn from their bodies to help our fairy?

Jack: Just not even kill all of them. They just want to invade Elfame and study it.

Cristina: Yeah, like if they could just kill one fairy, they'd probably learn a lot from that.

Jack: Interesting. There's also many kinds of fairies. There must be reasons for that. So they want to study those things.

Cristina: Yeah, maybe until one of them gives us an answer. That's my guess.

Jack: So Merlin's interesting.

Cristina: Yes. Yes, he is.

Jack: That's weird, man. He arranged the creation, birth and purpose of Arthur using his magic. But that's so overpowered. I don't even think it's about killing the fairies. Here's my theory. Here's my theory. It's not about killing the fairies. Merlin is just really strong and it's really dangerous that he's that powerful. And so the fairies probably tried to get rid of that threat. Not because he's trying to kill them, but he created a problem in which he's like, fairies are trying to kill me. I gotta defend myself. Okay, you See, I don't think. I think it's just scary. Yeah. They're stronger. They're getting stronger than us. What do we do?

Cristina: Saying, they're getting stronger than us.

Jack: We are. Oh, s***. I just had the thought. I just had the thought. What we are to Elfame, what AI is to us, one day it's gonna pass us. And we're always a little scared of that moment. We're like, we're gonna make rules and make sure to program it, not just deciding the turn on us. And so the fairy is. Everybody in Elfame is ultimately like, yeah, one day they're, you know, we're gonna do everything we can and make rules so that they don't overpower us.

Cristina: Mm. It's a little different. Only in that we. It's us and then it's AI. But for them, it's. It's them and then it's the shadow people, and then it's us. Like, there's.

Jack: Yeah, but we're almost working with Shadow to get that.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: To surpass Elfame.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So they consider it a bundle.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You know. Yeah, they consider it a bundle. And there are elves in shadow around those civilizations. Same thing, doing the same thing. So both are an issue to Alphane. And I think that's the real problem. It's just governance. It's governance you're trying to govern and make sure that. Look, no, I promise you people of Elfame, we have rules and regulations and everything is safe. And our inventions won't surpass us. It's fine. It's under control. Meanwhile, in the background, we're doing it. Yeah, but we're also here. Like, we made AI. That s***'s totally gonna pass us. And then it's gonna go alfame in the way we could never. Machines are gonna pass us, figure out what we've been trying to accomplish, and go Alphane.

Cristina: Maybe, I don't know.

Jack: Easily. So then, Merlin, how did you get so strong, Merlin?

Cristina: Besides that. He's a water person.

Jack: He's a water person, a sea person, an Elysian. Well, tell me, Merlin. And Merlin answers. Well, I might be an Elysian, but I'm only half an Elysian.

Cristina: What do you mean?

Jack: My mom was a chim.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: What.

Cristina: What. What is the story behind that?

Jack: Don't know. His mom was a f****** incubus.

Cristina: What? What? What? How'd you get that story?

Jack: That's just also part of the scripture. Merlin is born of a mortal, which would be the Elysian, and then an incubus, which is a shadow creature.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: How the h*** did that happen? But incubus as shadow creatures are somehow different than other shadow creatures, and we never thought about this. Although not all. Most shadow creatures are ethereal, wet judges and djinns. They seem ghostly. Incubus can f*** a guy.

Cristina: Well, he. It was made with an apple. That was. What's her name's attempt of making humans. That was.

Jack: Yeah. You're talking about Lilith.

Cristina: Lilith's attempt. Yeah. So it's its own thing, sort of too.

Jack: It's a shadow invention.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Using human stuff.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Not even human. Using Earth stuff.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's a shadow. Yeah, it's a. It's. I guess it's the merge. So an incubus is a creature that's neither shadow nor earthling. It's both shadow and earthling.

Cristina: Because it came out of Adam.

Jack: Yeah. Made from Adam and apples from shadow. And I guess the apples ultimately assist in merging as well. Because the apples are technically all from shadow.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: Interesting. You see, as we. The more we go through it, the fresher it gets.

Cristina: Connections being made.

Jack: Yes. So the main idea. And this is why in the group of the shadow gods, it was so important that they looked for a guy who was an expert at combining shadow tech and earthling tech. Duh. Because that's the ultimate goal that makes you better canal fame.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's why. Because everything is about merging the two.

Cristina: Everything.

Jack: Everything is about merging the two. Because that's how you beat the one. That's how you beat the one.

Cristina: Love it. That makes sense. Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: So what did we learn? We learned Arthur doesn't really matter other than that. Well, now he does. Arthur matters because he's potentially a Jesus thing.

Cristina: Jesus type thing.

Jack: Second experiment. Incubus are half human, half shadow hybrids. And they can mate with mortals from Earth.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: This one Merlin being. Also, my theory about Merlin doesn't just end at him being an Elysian, which that's in the writing, and his mother being incubus, which is half the Elysian and half shadow creature, but. Or I guess he's one fourth shadow creature because it's Adam plus the incubus. That's already. No, Adam makes the incubus, which is half earth, half shadow. So the incubus is inherently half and half.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So an incubus then mates with a Elysian. An Elysian is purely earthling and an incubus is already half earthling. So you get 1/4 shadow and 3/4 earthling.

Cristina: Earthling. Yeah.

Jack: Interesting. He has a nice balanced makeup. But anyways, Merlin sounds and I think this might be the case with all of them. He sounds a lot like one of the Magi.

Cristina: What? Manji.

Jack: Manji were the people who were assisting, or that type of person who was assisting Mary on her journey. The three Wise men and Joseph. All who were watching over her, Mary, when she was on the way to Cyprus.

Cristina: No. You think Manjis are some type of human shadow realm thing?

Jack: Not necessarily human shadow realm thing, but some special Elysians. Okay, we know they're special Alicians. Like, we're absolutely sure of it. We know they are special. But I thought they were special in rank and ability. Maybe they're just different as, like, some of them might be. It's. It's. I'm thinking the Maji are the sort of secret services. You know, like, people follow President around or.

Cristina: Okay, they're like experiments as well.

Jack: They might be, or not necessarily experiments, but like, how the h*** did you guys come across an incubus and me? So, you know, like, oh, this is a special case, but why is it okay to meet with some? I guess it's because it's already part human. Not human, part Earthling.

Cristina: Yes. Yeah.

Jack: You know.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And it's like, well, we'll make it more us than some of the other s***. But then this again. This is human. Some Shadowed, some Djinn. This is a human Djinn. Elysian hybrid.

Cristina: Yeah, but because of the. I think Adam. It makes it easy to. No, but haven't we heard Jinns not use with Adam?

Jack: So he is kind of a Nephilim, when you think about it. Because an incubus is half human, half shadow, and then an incubus mating with the C person. The half that's human with half of being an Elysian would equal a Nephilim.

Cristina: I know. Is there a difference? We. You didn't talk about Nephilims at all and what they're like. Have you.

Jack: No, but he's 25%. He's 50% Nephilim, 14 Elysian and 1 4th shadow.

Cristina: Why is he 50% Nephilim or.

Jack: No, my bad. He is 1 4th Nephilim, 1 4th shadow and 1 half.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Elysian. That's the breakdown.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: He's overpowered for a reason. He's so overpowered. Merlin is so overpowered, he can control time. That's problematic. He's too advanced. I think he's defending himself by creating a weapon that can kill a fairy. But he got acquired by the fairy. And also, something happens in the middle of these interactions where Arthur gets taken to the fairy. The fairy gives him the real sword. Somewhere in the middle of this, the fairy successfully manages to enchant Merlin, forcing Arthur to kill Merlin.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah, this. That's how this wraps up.

Cristina: It ends with him killing Merlin.

Jack: Arthur kills Merlin after Merlin is enchanted by the lady of the Lake. The sword that Merlin gave Arthur probably couldn't kill Merlin, which is why he broke when he tried to fight earth things.

Cristina: Yes, it was to kill the fairy.

Jack: It was to kill the fairy. But the fairy gave him a sword that can kill Merlin.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because it can kill anything earthly.

Cristina: Yes. Oh my gosh.

Jack: So the same way Mer. He dies. Yeah, the same way Merlin was trying to off the fairy. The fairy made a weapon that can off Merlin.

Cristina: But that's crazy. That's even more magical. That she can fight something that could pretty much control the future. Like his powers is pretty epic. But she was still able to go around that like it did not affect her.

Jack: I don't think it was about affecting her. Why couldn't he just control Arthur to do the things he needed to do? He needed to give Arthur a story to follow.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: It's because you can't control Arthur. Arthur is the one who defied it. Who'd she used to kill Merlin? Why didn't she wield the sword on Merlin? Because Merlin would see it coming. He can't see Arthur.

Cristina: Yeah, because Arthur is following a story.

Jack: Arthur's following a story. Story got manipulated by both sides.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. These authors. Something else we're not really. I think he's more human than either of those two things.

Jack: I don't think he's human at all.

Cristina: Or he's.

Jack: I think he's an Elysian mixed with some elf or something. With a Naga maybe. I don't know. Yeah, no, he doesn't shapeshift.

Cristina: That's really shapeshift. He doesn't have any actual magic powers except for the pulling of the sword.

Jack: So then is how he's a watered down version of something. Because this is still the only guy who could get it done.

Cristina: He was made though, to do that thing. That's why he makes me. He reminds me of the Golem. Because he was made to teleport.

Jack: He was made to be able to enter Elfhame.

Cristina: Yeah. So like Oster was made for a purpose, which was the pulling of the sword. And then you try to trick him to do all these other things. But of course that didn't succeed. But I think it was specifically made for that thorn.

Jack: No. I think, yes. Well, no, I don't think the sword mattered. I think the real argument here is that Arthur, because he could have made anybody pull the sword, he decides who gets to pull the sword.

Cristina: I don't think anyone could have pulled the sword.

Jack: No. I think the sword was made by Merlin to kill fairies. It's just.

Cristina: Oh, you think he made the sword?

Jack: Yeah, it's just it's not safe for him to go to the fairy. I mean, look at what happened when he did go to the fairy. So he just stays away from the fairy.

Cristina: Because he's such an interesting thing. Like, I feel like he should have had the ability. Like he's not just a human already, he's who?

Jack: Merlin.

Cristina: Yeah. He's Elysian shadow creatures, etc. Like, come on.

Jack: And still he did not want to go to the fairy. Think about how overpowered the s*** of Alfame is that Merlin was still like, I'll use that guy to do it. And think about how overpowered Elfame is that. As overpowered as this guy is, all he did was get in that vicinity.

Cristina: And still somehow special that the fairies used him too, because they didn't need to use him either.

Jack: Who? Merlin?

Cristina: Author.

Jack: No author is special. I'm saying that Merlin can't go to the fairy.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And yes. The specialness that this overpowered sorcerer made Arthur with.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Is what that fairy used as well.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because there's something about making these things that are. That's unpredictable. And Merlin can't see the future of Arthur. So he couldn't see Arthur killing him.

Cristina: No. Interesting.

Jack: There's something so unique about Arthur.

Cristina: Yes. But. And also like Jesus of like everyone seeing him. He also affecting people in a few future sight type of way. Like, is he. No, not really. But yes at the same time.

Jack: How do you mean?

Cristina: Like just his existence changed.

Jack: Oh yeah. But that's more about who he was. Like people were having literal visions about.

Cristina: Jesus, but because of what he was, I think is part of that. And whatever he is, is something that this author is. It's not the same.

Jack: I know it's not the same. Yeah, yeah. They're similar. They're very close.

Cristina: Similar. They are. They're both experiments. And I. Oh, and I'm thinking of the golem too, because that's the only experiment that we've seen that there's something. These three things now.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Are very similar.

Jack: Yes. Yes. They have a lot of the same features going on which they seem to have been created with a very specific, very linear. Yes. Purpose in mind. And that's their thing. And it also Seems an each one of these. Except the golem. The golem. No.

Cristina: He stuck to what he was made for.

Jack: Yes. Control was the main feature this guy was obsessed with. Which is why he had a way of deactivating it.

Cristina: Yeah. Which they was. No deactivation for these other two.

Jack: No. Because they were unlike the golem. They were. They were made from this sort of uncontrollable feature of mortals. Something about these. It's the fruits, bro. Because the fruits are still warned about everywhere. Something about knowledge and free will is dangerous when you're trying to control some s***. You can't control some with free will.

Cristina: Yeah. Which is almost only used with mad. No. Blood.

Jack: Yeah, Blood and magic. It's a hundred percent mindless.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Except no, it was. It did. It just could be deactivated.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Which I guess makes it really dark.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because it's like this is a thinking, sentient, loving being and you just turn it off whenever you want and it's just in darkness. It's like. That's a messed up dark rabbi. But if the problem is control, he solved the problem. It only got problematic afterwards because he wasn't around. He was just a guy. And then he dies eventually. And then who's going to handle the golem? But the Manji can't reclaim that. I think.

Cristina: I think so.

Jack: Who knows?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So yes, Arthur and Jesus and Joseph have a lot of similar features. Merlin used and made Arthur and used him to try to kill the fairy. The fairy, knowing this made a weapon equally.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And used Merlin's own creation, who could defy the wizard's overpowered ability to see the future. And he couldn't see Arthur's future. And Arthur successfully killed Merlin because Merlin in seeing that. Oh s***. The plan is falling apart. I need to tell Arthur. No, this is a trap. He gets in front of the lady in the lake and she immediately uses her over powered magic on him. And boom. He stayed away for a reason. And the moment he got around, boom.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And then forced. Because at that moment, that's when Arthur notices. Oh s***. This was. He was. He was telling the truth. Merlin's warning, which was the fairies. You. It's a fake a** plan.

Cristina: Oh, he realizes after he kills him.

Jack: No, I mean, yeah, after he kills Merlin and he sees like the whole situation, he's like. Oh, well actually that's why he kills Merlin. Because he. Merlin becomes enchanted by the fairy.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: So the Merlin becomes enchanted by the fairy and he sees that and he's like, oh no, he was right now I gotta kill him. And her.

Cristina: Does he kill her?

Jack: I don't know if he kills her. No, actually he doesn't. So it's. It's kind of one of those endings. Because in one book it puts him at killing the fairy, but in the other it said that the fairy was defeated in battle and fled.

Jack: Now what does a fairy running away look like? Disappearing.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah, I would guess. Yeah.

Jack: So like, it's possible that fairy's gone. But what if you killed the fairy with. If the fairy had the weapon that could kill her.

Cristina: Yeah. So she probably just.

Jack: Probably dipped. There was no reason to still be there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Her last hoorah was you, Merlin.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So this is a real combat moment between a casual fairy that's still unnamed. We just call her the lady of the Lake.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And Merlin, who was. There's some beef between these two.

Cristina: Maybe they're they. That. That was their territory. They both had. Were fighting for one territory.

Jack: 100 could be the case. Or the purpose of that fairy was to handle Merlin. Okay.

Cristina: Did it and then she disappeared.

Jack: 100%.

Cristina: Okay. That's also something. Yeah.

Jack: Because it's starting to look like now although Merlin made that weapon to defend himself. Alfie made s*** to defend themselves just as much. And we're just catching up.

Cristina: We never. Yeah. We never hear these stories that about fairies actually doing their job of like slowing us down and everything. So this is a good example. Yeah. So they actually are doing it. We don't have many of those stories, but it's rare that they actually feel threatened. And this is just one of those cases.

Jack: Yes. As we dig deeper, we find that more and more we're slowly inching towards Elfame. Plot twist though.

Cristina: What? What? What?

Jack: Arthur didn't die there. So that problem was still there.

Cristina: What was the problem?

Jack: Arthur?

Cristina: Why do you think she cares?

Jack: Because he's whatever Jesus is and whatever the golem is. And that's a problem.

Cristina: But if the end of the story doesn't involve him, like is he killed by someone? Like, how is that a problem then?

Jack: So this takes us to later stories of Arthur's life. Arthur might. As the latest version of this that we're aware of might have actually been a really good control. Although he could not actually control Arthur. He added a thing here that made Arthur a little easier to handle. Big picture.

Cristina: What do you mean?

Jack: Arthur can't be killed as long as he's holding the sword.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Arthur will still age.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Arthur's gonna die of old age.

Jack: And then he can't Go forward.

Cristina: So that's not a problem. Yeah.

Jack: That's the control factor. Long term.

Cristina: Yeah. So the fairy doesn't really have to worry about Arthur because he's gonna die.

Jack: But now, ignoring the fact, problem solved. Okay. Arthur is the best version we have so far because now he's a human lifespan, disposable version.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Of Jesus. Because you can't dispose of Jesus. He just comes right back.

Cristina: Yeah. I want to know how old is the author's story, though. I need to know how close he is to Jesus or to us. I think it's 1500s, but maybe not. Maybe that's when the story was popular, but it was before that.

Jack: Oh, interesting. So 11th century. 12th to 11th century. I thought it was 15th. That was still pretty long ago. But it was way after Jesus. This is actually happening before the golem then.

Cristina: Before the golem. The golem was in what year?

Jack: The golem was in the 16 to 17.

Cristina: Oh, okay. So in time, though, it's. They're closer together.

Jack: Yeah, in time, they're closer together. But then Arthur was the meaty, fleshy version. Okay. So then the progression makes a lot of sense. If we think of. So was this rabbi a sea person? No, he was just a human. We know that for a fact because he died quickly, too.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Sea people just kind of go.

Cristina: There was something that told them the secrets of making this thing.

Jack: It was actually when they were doing some rituals.

Cristina: Yes. So it was some shadow realm creature.

Jack: Yeah. Explain the process.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Why did the shadow. Because of the f****** Elysians that are in that the people they were talking to that told them how to make the f****** golem were from the shadow gods. That's who they were talking to.

Cristina: Shadow God.

Jack: The shadow gods. So, d***, now we have a mention of the shadow gods. We know of a time they were active. We know when they were most recently active, as far as our information goes, which is the 1600s. And we know of a Elysian in Earthrealm in the 1200s and 1100s, which is Merlin.

Cristina: That's crazy. That's crazy.

Jack: So now we know. The questions I had laid out to answer were, why are the fairies so interested in Arthur? It's because something is special about Arthur. He is one of these inventions. But I guess the reason that the golem is the way he is is because of this situation that happened. Because that information moved forward.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: About the fairies taking control.

Cristina: Yeah. You gotta make something that can't be controlled when you're not using it.

Jack: So although Arthur is better than Jesus, he's immortal. Which solved a lot. Just in case he did get controlled. But too late. The damage is done. So you need something that you can deactivate.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And can't be controlled. And is gonna listen to what you're saying, even if it has a sentient mind. Hence the golem. Jesus was too out of control.

Cristina: Arthur is still somehow out of control.

Jack: He was too easy to control.

Cristina: Okay, yes. Yes. That's the problem.

Jack: It was the other extreme.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Everybody controlled Arthur.

Cristina: Yes. And the skull was just one specific guy.

Jack: One specific guy in one specific way.

Cristina: Once he died, there was no control over him. That was it.

Jack: And the sword wasn't so special. It was just a sword that can. Well, I guess it is, because it can still kill fairies. The real Excalibur is the one that isn't special, although it's just a great overpowered fairy weapon. But it can't be used on fairies.

Cristina: No, but it can be used on anything else.

Jack: So there's two Excaliburs, except one of them is an alfame. And we'll never get that one. The fairy killer. But there is a weapon out here that can kill kind of anything, including shadow creatures.

Cristina: Do we know who has that sword now?

Jack: We don't know.

Cristina: It's not a church.

Jack: It might be. If anybody has it, it's the freaking church. Interesting enough. Could Arthur have killed Jesus? Would that have been one of the uses of Arthur if he could have been lasted long term? Because that sword could kill Jesus. It could kill anything. So there's a sword that could kill Jesus maybe.

Cristina: Bare minimum, before he died. Maybe. But now, as this some Jesus.

Jack: Well, he's still shadow Jesus. And the sword, in theory, could deal with that. It's an Elfame sword.

Cristina: That's true. Almost not.

Jack: There's a sword that could probably kill Jesus.

Cristina: Oh, like kill, kill that sword?

Jack: Yeah, like kill, kill?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like officially off Jesus permanently.

Cristina: And.

Jack: In. With that in mind, is Jesus a concern for the fairies? Like, are the fairies worried about Jesus after the fact? Like, do they care about Jesus? I was thinking about this because I know he's an issue for the people of Shadow and the people of Earth.

Cristina: Do the fairies? Can't.

Jack: But do the fairy. Like, he maybe. He could potentially be a threat. But does he care?

Cristina: Does he care?

Jack: Does he care? Is it revenge purely. Or is it just like. Nah, dude, I don't give a. I.

Cristina: Feel like they'd care even if he wasn't interested because he's so strong. Still be a threat. Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. Okay. Okay. So then the point of making that sword wasn't just so he can kill Merlin. Merlin's probably more of a problem than Jesus is.

Cristina: Yeah, they probably made that sword for Jesus.

Jack: But then Jesus himself is a weird hybrid thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And Merlin, now, I don't know. Merlin is a Manji for a fact, but Merlin could kind of be what Jesus is too. I don't know. Merlin's op as f***.

Cristina: And he's a lot of from the fruit, so. No, no, not Merlin. That was author.

Jack: Arthur.

Cristina: Author is. Okay, never mind.

Jack: The question is, is Merlin a thing like Jesus? That did work and he was making Arthur. But there's nothing about Merlin that tells us he's special other than he's weird.

Cristina: And that his mom is a. Oh, yeah.

Jack: There's no magic other than he learned how to use magic. But it's the same way. Like maybe it's just really advanced tech for all we even. He has fabric of space time manipulating tech.

Cristina: I don't think he's the same thing as Jesus.

Jack: No. Because he still needed the control. He couldn't interact. He got controlled. He couldn't. He couldn't be. He couldn't be. He got controlled. Yeah. That's what we got. This is where what I discovered. Apparently there's a lot there that's awesome and random. Random.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I did not expect this direction at all.

Jack: Bye now. A bunch of kids disappeared in Canada and a bunch of kids disappeared in Hawaii. Okay. Absolutely fine. I guarantee you in the next month or two. Oh, you know, we, we. We were sloppy. We were sorry about what happened. We're gonna give the people of Hawaii the requirements necessary for them to rebuild. We don't need to be involved in this. Let the people of Hawaii have their things. I don't. We don't know why we've been just so invested. I guarantee you just gonna. It's just gonna change. The tone is just gonna change.

Cristina: Weird. Okay.

Jack: You know, the sloppy is entirely due to the desperation and the withdrawal. The comes with adrenochrome. Why is it target children? It's obviously the target's children. Because you need a dream of.
