+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Jack: And I'm Jack.

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

Jack: And also, this show is most enjoyable with listening partners, so be sure to go find somebody while you're traveling in through the woods or wherever you usually casually stroll through with your knife. Right. You're always in the woods with some kind of dangerous tool or something, because that's what our listeners do. They turn. Their ipods are brand new, you know, state of the art ipod or their Zune. A lot of people have their Zune.

Cristina: What is a Zune?

Jack: It's like the failed ripoff MP3 players.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So like, a lot of people, they don't even have ipods. They're just. Everybody's checking out on their Zunes, listening to the Just Conversation podcast on their Zune and they connect it and they're walking through the woods. Some people have a whole boombox. I remember that too. Some people just had a boombox that they were like blasting. But you're finding random teenagers who are camping in the woods with your boombox and. Or your Zune and some headphones and a knife or a machete or an axe that you just happen to also be wandering through. And when you see the kids, you just full fledged, just start dashing in their direction with all the force, all the force you have. You just dash as fast as you can towards them to tell them, hey, you guys can listen to this.

Cristina: What?

Jack: It's great.

Cristina: That is so horrifying.

Jack: It's great. The first thought they're gonna have is, we want to listen to that show.

Cristina: We want to listen to that.

Jack: We want to listen to that show. He seems so convinced we should listen.

Cristina: He looks so excited. Is he running towards them with a smile on his face?

Jack: Yes, with a smile on his face. A Zune or a boombox in one hand and an axe in the other. Just because he's just in case. You never know what's going to attack you in the woods. So you know, he has electronics. If something attacks him, he's there, he has defense. But he's like, hey, a bunch of campers. And I'm assuming you usually roam the woods, which is why, you know, to have an axe in the first place. So you probably like got a scraggly beard and you've got like a bunch of dirty like woods type clothing, but.

Cristina: Type clothing?

Jack: Yeah. Like. Like you've been out there for a while so you're not necessarily city ready but you're kind looking guy. Maybe you hunt yourself. So you use that same axe to hunt. So it's got some blood from an animal on it or whatever.

Cristina: Maybe.

Jack: Yeah. And maybe you got some blood on yourself from having just hunted a deer and you're coming from.

Cristina: Hunts a deer with an ax.

Jack: He hunts a deer with an axe. Because he is a solid deer hunter.

Cristina: What kind of deer hunter? That's a really skilled.

Jack: He's a beast, bro. He's a pro. He runs out there and just flings the axe and catches the deer. First shot in the head.

Cristina: Is he a character from a video game?

Jack: He could be. He's the. The warrior from Gauntlet.

Cristina: He's a war. Okay.

Jack: And he just sees a deer from far. He's far as. But he's such a good axe thrower that he at a distance predicts where that deer's head is gonna be, throws it and then one shots the deer in the head.

Cristina: That is amazing. I wish these kids saw that. But they just see the aftermath.

Jack: They just see him after he just finished taking the deer. He's gonna go home to get the equipment to go skin and you know, prepare the deer. And as he's going home, he sees a bunch of kids who just pulled up, put their tents down and stuff. And he's just wandering and. And he has his boombox and he has his. His axe and he sees the kids and he just starts dashing towards them like people. How exciting. I can show them the show. And he just starts.

Cristina: Because we just said, hey, go tell someone about it.

Jack: Yeah. Just as he saw them.

Cristina: As he saw. Yeah.

Jack: And so he's just. Wow, what a. What are the chances that I would be at this part of the episode.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: When I see a bunch of kids and so just full, full dash. Full dash. Totally as fast as he can in their direction.

Cristina: Wow, that's an incredible story. I hope this is real. I hope this is happening right now, man.

Jack: Do you think it's happening right now? F****** amazing.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: I wonder how often there is a. What was the name of that movie where the kids were just hanging out in the woods and there were the two guys who were just like. Like lumberjacks or whatever?

Cristina: Yeah, I don't remember. They had some plain a** names.

Jack: Yeah, it was like Dale and some s***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Evil.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I forget the name of it, but, like, I'm sure that's happened. Not really, man. Maybe somebody died just because they thought it was. Is the problem is people do crazy s*** when they're scared?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And that's a problem. People react f****** nuts, you know?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: People get crazy when they're scared and they do crazy s***. People in panic are completely irrational.

Cristina: Yes. Like those children.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Wait, no. Are those. Who are. Who's the crazy people right now?

Jack: The kids, the teenagers in the. In the movie, I guess. And in the case of our. Our woodsman traveling while listening to the show the Children, I guess he has a Zune, right? Because if they heard. If he has a boombox and they heard him. Yeah, they heard that part because he's close enough to see them and there's nothing else happening in the woods, which means the boombox would echo pretty nicely.

Cristina: So it shouldn't be a boombox.

Jack: It shouldn't be a boombox. This is the guy who is actually traveling with his brand new Zun.

Cristina: All right?

Jack: And the reason he has a Zune is because he's a woodsman and he's not caught up on technology. It all makes sense now.

Cristina: Of course.

Jack: Yes. So he's on his Zune, hears it all. They see it. They don't even see the Zune because it's so small. They just see a dude with an ax that's bloody, covered, like, covered with blood. His outfit is covered with blood.

Cristina: Where's the deer?

Jack: He left the deer.

Cristina: Where he left the deer?

Jack: He left the deer because he. What the f*** is he gonna do? Carry the deer? Yeah, like how big a deer is? He's got to go get the things to chop the deer up. Oh, he killed the deer. Now he's gonna get the things and gonna go clean the deer up.

Cristina: How does he make sure that other animals don't steal the deer?

Jack: He's not gonna be gone forever.

Cristina: Yeah, but I don't know how far he is from where he needs to go.

Jack: I'm assuming he's not just hunting way far away from home. Like, he's a. I'm sure he's prepared for this because otherwise he just hunted way the f*** far away, didn't really think it through, and is gonna lose what he killed.

Cristina: He throws an axe at the deer. That's so crazy.

Jack: That's how trained he is.

Cristina: Carry the deer home.

Jack: It's huge. A deer is f****** huge. A deer is easily 400, £500.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: That sounds crazy. Oh, my gosh okay.

Jack: Yeah. Okay, Fair enough. Let's find out.

Cristina: Okay. It says that usually 130 to 300 pounds, but there have been reports of over 350 pounds.

Jack: That's crazy. Fair enough. 130 pounds. A, like, jacked enough guy could definitely carry that. So I guess in theory, he could carry. He could carry the deer.

Cristina: If it's 300, though.

Jack: Yeah, that's a little harder. And plus, the distance, Even if it's £130, the distance he'll be carrying it, it's more efficient to grab what you need.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Then take the whole f****** deer. Yeah, like, you don't need the head. That's added weight. The legs, added weight. But also, you don't want to just carry, like, a mangled corpse.

Cristina: Yeah, but he shouldn't just leave the deer there. I think he should hang it on a tree, which is cool, because if the kids do run and they run through the forest, they see the deer up in the tree, I mean, he's.

Jack: Not trying to scare the kids.

Cristina: I know, but it's just a horrifying moment for the kids, too.

Jack: Yeah, that would just be highly inconvenient if he was also doing that.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But actually, I think that's how you drain the deer of blood in the first place. You do things like that. Like, you hang it up. So maybe he did.

Cristina: He did.

Jack: He probably hung it up so that it would, like, bleed out so that.

Cristina: How much horrifying is that then? Like, it's just a bloody mess. With a deer hanging on a tree.

Jack: Probably with the deer, usually they cut the deer's neck so that it bleeds out through its neck. Because you hang it from its legs so that the blood comes downward towards its main artery. And so you cut its neck so that it would bleed out the most.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And drain it. And then you come and cut it down and take the meat you want from it. So it's completely possible that there is a deer hanging and as he's dashing towards the children, but they would be running away from him, and he's coming from the deer. So they wouldn't see the deer anyways until they circle back around.

Cristina: Yeah, if they have to do that.

Jack: If they have to. Yeah. So for whatever reason, these kids, they panic.

Cristina: They definitely panic.

Jack: They do. They shouldn't, though, because he's just trying to get them to listen to the show. It ain't that serious. It's just a show. It's a podcast.

Cristina: But if you see this man, do not run from him.

Jack: But also, if you see this man, and you're hearing us tell you not to run from him, you're probably also looking for somebody to listen to the show.

Cristina: Yeah. So then you do walk. You listen to the show with him.

Jack: Well, no, because you're both listening to the show already. You need to get somebody else.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Yeah. Then again, it doesn't say, find somebody who isn't already listening to the show.

Cristina: Are you sure?

Jack: Yeah. Just says, get a listening partner.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: So fair enough. If you're both listening to this and you know that the other interesting. If you're one of the kids in the woods who's already listening to the show.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And the guy in the woods starts.

Cristina: Running towards you, you listen to the show with us. Well, we.

Jack: We've straight up told you about the guy running towards you.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which is weird because we would predict such a thing. So the guy in the woods is like, wow, this is, like, highly specific. And about me, while the kid who's listening in the woods while his friends are just, like, f****** inside of a tent or whatever they're doing, he's thinking the same thing. He's like, yeah, this is, like, weirdly specific.

Cristina: Yeah. So they run towards each other. What does his friends think when they see him running towards the man with an axe?

Jack: Like the fact that he's not running away. Yeah, they're just like, he. He. He suggested we come here. Whatever's about to happen, he's f****** in on it. Of course he said we should come to the woods. He begged us. We don't even like the woods or city kids. But he told us, hey, man, come on, let's. And now he's just chilling there. We see this maniac with an axe running towards us, man.

Cristina: This is that movie, though, because he's gonna. He's gonna end up, like, tripping in front of the guy, getting killed from the ax or something. And then they're gonna be like, oh, my gosh, he tried to protect us, and then he died.

Jack: Who?

Cristina: The kid.

Jack: The kid who already knows?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I feel like he's the one who's not gonna die.

Cristina: Then again, if he accidentally died in front, like, while he was running to the guy with the axe.

Jack: But why would he. If the guy's holding the axe, they would both have to trip.

Cristina: Oh, then maybe they do trip. I'm just thinking of the movie that it just happened like that.

Jack: But this isn't the movie. This is real life.

Cristina: Oh, this is real life.

Jack: This is real life. This isn't. The events from that Movie.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But if somehow that kid did happen to die, I'm not sure why he would, but if he did, now this guy doesn't have somebody to listen with, which means he has to chase one of these other kids down. And he knows he needs a listening partner. So now he has a pause. He just stops. He's like, f***, I know this kid was listening. I saw his ipod.

Jack: And so he wraps up his. He takes his headphones off, he pauses the show, he does whatever due to a Zune to lock it so it doesn't hit play accidentally. He wraps it up, puts it in his pocket. I have no idea. He puts it in his pocket and then he just starts dashing behind one of his kids because he needs somebody to listen with.

Cristina: Yes, because I forgot the many reasons. I don't know. He dies, someone in his family dies, someone gets cancer. He gets cancer. I don't know.

Jack: What are we talking about?

Cristina: Like if you don't get someone to listen to a show, what happens if.

Jack: You don't get somebody to listen to the show? I'm going to harm your children. Oh, yes, Your children are in danger. Later you'll be in danger too. But I'm gonna make sure to hit you emotionally first.

Cristina: Was part of it somehow.

Jack: Well, no. Everybody who listens gets cancer.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: So yeah, both of these people have cancer anyways.

Cristina: All right.

Jack: Because they heard the show.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's just an inevitability.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Actually, anybody listening to the show, if you're hearing this part of the. Actually, if you heard the show at all, I'm just reminding you right now, you have cancer.

Cristina: You have cancer. Yeah. So you got to continue listening.

Jack: Yeah. At this point you already got cancer. Commitment.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Just commit. You already got cancer for listening to the show. Commit.

Cristina: Do we have cancer?

Jack: No, because we don't listen to the show.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: We're immune.

Cristina: Alright.

Jack: It's something about listening to the show without being here live in the studio with us that gives you cancer. Yeah, it's kind of like 5G towers.

Cristina: I was thinking of 5G and how it related. I had no clue how, though.

Jack: I don't know how either. I just know that it'll give you cancer. Like if it was 5G.

Cristina: Like if it was 5G. I thought somehow our voices gave out 5G or something. I don't know.

Jack: I don't know either. It's very interesting. Maybe it's a combination of our voices and some electronic listening device.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That creates some sort of gene mutation that then causes cancer.

Cristina: Yeah. And somehow relates to the 5G towers. Yes.

Jack: Well, it's similar to whatever the 5G towers are causing. It's not necessarily related to the 5G towers, but it's like whatever frequency they're causing, we're causing.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: The mixture of our voice frequencies and the electronic device that's projecting our voice.

Cristina: That's crazy. So this deer man hunts some children.

Jack: I mean, he's not hunting children.

Cristina: Oh, yeah, he's not hunting children. It just looks like he's hunting children.

Jack: No, it looks like he's trying to get somebody to listen to the show.

Cristina: If they know what he's doing. But he looks like he's hunting children.

Jack: I don't know. I'm not in their head.

Cristina: You're not in the children, or I guess whoever is looking at the children being chased by this man.

Jack: Yeah. Or the children. I don't. I have no idea what any. Like, I know he's chasing the children to get somebody to listen to the show. I'm not sure why I should think about anything else. Oh, I know. His intentions are pure and noble.

Cristina: Yes, but what do you think the children are thinking?

Jack: I don't know. Depends on the kid.

Cristina: You think any of them are like, yeah, he accidentally killed my friend. I should go listen to the show.

Jack: I think the kid who died died at random.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because the woodsman would be totally distraught if he knew that that kid died. The kid must have died completely out of his sight. Nevertheless.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because, like, it must have been that the kid was running towards the woodsman and he felt like down a hole and hit his head and died or some s***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: While the woodsman was running towards the other kids without seeing that there was somebody else was listening to the show. Because if he knew the other kid died, he's a good guy. He's not a bad guy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He would just immediately go to help. He'd probably stop positive, like, he's a good guy. Just pause, stop the show and, like, call the cops or some s***.

Cristina: But he didn't see it happen.

Jack: Didn't see it happen.

Cristina: But did they see it happen?

Jack: They probably saw it happen. They don't think he killed the kid. No, they just know the kid died.

Cristina: That's crazy, though. Those are two crazy events happening one after another.

Jack: What's the other crazy event other than him dying?

Cristina: The guy with an axe running towards them?

Jack: Oh, I guess. But that's not like a guy trying to kill you. That's just a guy running towards you trying to get you to listen to.

Cristina: A show, but they don't know that it's just a guy with an Axe.

Jack: Yeah, 100%. If you saw a guy running towards you with an axe, you wouldn't just think he's trying to get you to listen to a podcast?

Cristina: No.

Jack: What are you gonna think? Why are you gonna think something crazy?

Cristina: Cuz that looks crazy.

Jack: Based on what? When have you experienced a guy running towards you with an axe being something dangerous?

Cristina: Well, he's covered in blood, so that's pretty scary.

Jack: Hunters, butchers, soldiers, all the time covered in blood.

Cristina: They don't go running towards normal people.

Jack: If somebody had a broken. Like there's a horrible accident somewhere.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And somebody survived, first thing they're gonna do is find the first person that can help or anybody who isn't involved and tell them.

Cristina: But this guy's running with a smile on his face.

Jack: Yeah, he's super excited.

Cristina: Exactly. That's even more scary.

Jack: Is it less scary than if somebody has a horrified look on their face running towards you with an axe?

Cristina: Well, if he's covered in blood, maybe that's more normal because, like, oh, some kind of accident did happen and that's why he looks so upset.

Jack: Fair enough.

Cristina: While he's smiling, it's like he did something and he wants to, I don't know, do it again.

Jack: But why do you think. I mean, obviously he did something. But, like, who says it's something bad?

Cristina: The blood is just assumed.

Jack: It's just assumed. It's animal blood. You're in the worst.

Cristina: How do I know?

Jack: How do you know it's not?

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

Jack: Just assuming the worst.

Cristina: Yes. I saw the guy go missing. It could be his fault somehow.

Jack: What, the other kid?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: What?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Why? You just saw the kid randomly fall.

Cristina: That's like. What's that show called? The Japanese Japan is thinking when the girl just fell. Oh, my God, she died.

Jack: That. That s*** scarred the f*** out of me, bro. That was the crate. Out of all the s*** that happened, that was the one that I was like. Because I didn't know what the f*** happened. It's like a moment of what?

Cristina: Yeah, I had to rewind it when I saw that. Yeah, but the dad's death was crazier. I don't know. I know they're equally crazy. I don't. It's hard to raise.

Jack: I don'. Yeah, it was totally unexpected. I truly believed this show was gonna be about the daughter and the father. But he's the first guy to die.

Cristina: Yeah, but I feel like, he was one of the first characters. Although I guess each member of the family was the first one of the first characters to be introduced, so you would think they were the ones to survive the whole thing. But no, just one person. No two people, I guess. Yeah.

Jack: We just spoiled the s*** out of this. For anybody listening. That's old spoilers after the fact. But the girl falling into the hole was a crazy one. Not even a hole. It was like a hill.

Cristina: It was just a hill. She was just running and she didn't even fall.

Jack: She just slid down there.

Cristina: Yep.

Jack: And then she's just thrown on the floor, collapsed. It's like, what the f*** happened? And you don't know what happened?

Cristina: No.

Jack: So nuts.

Cristina: But you know not to go there. That's horrifying. Yeah, man. The character, the main character was so close to die at that moment.

Jack: Character's pretty close. Dang.

Cristina: A lot. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That show was pretty epic.

Jack: Yeah. Anybody and everybody should f****** watch Japan Sinks.

Cristina: Yes. It gets a little weird with the whole psychic s***. Psychic, yes. Yes.

Jack: That got strange.

Cristina: It did get strange, but it's pretty epic otherwise. Otherwise, yes.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's pretty badass show. But that being said about these kids, like, I think that's a problem people have where they do make assumptions all the time. They think that whatever initial thought they had makes sense. We have a problem of doing that in society.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And doesn't really make sense because you don't have, like, a basis for that. Like, what. What the f*** are really the odds?

Cristina: It's instincts. It's protecting us.

Jack: Is it, though? A lot of the time, instincts is why we do s*** that hurts other people. That guy runs towards you and gets close enough, you panic attack him.

Cristina: And he was innocent.

Jack: And he was innocent.

Cristina: That's true.

Jack: So is it protecting you or is it harming other people?

Cristina: Maybe. Once upon a time, though, it was helping.

Jack: Yes. But now we have. We're having trouble of getting rid of these bugs or adjusting them because getting rid of it entirely, then that means we're always introduced to danger and we could easily be killed.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But we're having trouble adjusting them to the new world.

Cristina: Definitely.

Jack: That's also why societies are highly antisocial, because we don't know how to really, truly detect danger. We think everything is dangerous all the time.

Cristina: Yes, man. But there are a lot of dangerous things out there. I don't know.

Jack: The point of society is that everything isn't dangerous. I guess it's the protective bubble.

Cristina: We lost that society thing. That protective bubble, it's too big to be protective. No, no.

Jack: What do you mean?

Cristina: Like the society is like really big.

Jack: Right. That means more safe.

Cristina: More safe. I feel like people are used to small bubbles that can protect them.

Jack: What's the average number of killers inside of a city? There's three million people.

Cristina: Three million people?

Jack: Yeah. Let's say New York City. Three million people?

Jack: Is there a thousand killers in that city?

Cristina: A thousand.

Jack: A thousand?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Probably not.

Cristina: How much do you think?

Jack: Way the f*** less. I would be blown the f*** away if there was a hundred killers. Like normally killing out in the open where you could see it happen and. Oh, well, it's dangerous.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Killers that you can legitimately say danger and know it's danger.

Jack: There's not really a lot. Why? Because we got cops. Because we have structure. We have cameras. We have too many people walking around. The number of people on average that are good that would just rat somebody doing some crazy s*** out.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The society is protective inherently. So there's way more people that are way more safe. Now let's say you have a village of just 30 people. One of them is a killer.

Cristina: What though, Right?

Jack: How easy is it for that guy to just pick people out?

Cristina: Probably pretty easy.

Jack: Pretty f****** easy. So yeah, you have a smaller group, but you're way the f*** less safe. Yeah, way less safe. Especially if the killer is from within your community. If the killer is within the community in New York, how hard is it for him to take a life on average, based on the number of people. Right. The percentage of life he's taking is insignificant and he's likely to get caught quickly.

Cristina: Has there ever been a serial killer in New York?

Jack: There's been a couple.

Cristina: A couple? Yeah, it's New York.

Jack: But in the case of a small village, every life you take is a huge f****** percentage of the whole thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And you also got way less chance of getting caught because every person you take is a significant decrease in people to hunt you down.

Cristina: Well, yeah.

Jack: So like a big society, definitely the way to go.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: It's inherently safe.

Cristina: Then what's wrong with people? Why are they so scared?

Jack: Because we haven't worked out the bullshit that's in our system from that time.

Cristina: When it was just 30 people.

Jack: Yeah. We still have instincts that were trying to get us to survive when there were f****** lions hidden in the bushes and s***. And anything we don't understand, we gotta be suspicious of anybody. We don't know.

Cristina: Everyone's become the lion.

Jack: Yeah, everybody's a lion.

Cristina: Well.

Jack: And so we still have that paranoia while traveling in the safest time ever.

Cristina: Mmm. But we can't all feel that way. I mean, maybe I feel that way, but there's gotta be a huge number of people that don't feel that way.

Jack: Yeah. I mean, you still have the thing, but the rational mind should compensate. So if you see a guy running towards you with an axe, although it's like, holy s***, this is weird and crazy.

Cristina: I should just be like, eh.

Jack: The consciousness thinking side of you should take over and be like. Like what are the odds really? It's probably just a huntsman or somebody who is out here doing something. I doubt. And there's more of us than there are of him where we just start running. If something crazy happened, we just all simultaneous attack. He can't beat all of us. But also we have no reason to attack. We'll just wait until he tries something stupid.

Cristina: Okay. And then if he just stops and then swings at us, that's when we do something.

Jack: Yeah. Then you know, but otherwise it's like, it's probably just a guy.

Cristina: Just a guy who.

Jack: Yeah. You don't have any reason to immediately panic.

Cristina: Yes. Okay.

Jack: I guess the rational mind should always.

Cristina: Compensate the rational mind. I don't have that. It's so scary to imagine a man running towards you with a smile, covered in blood and a bleak. Holding an axe.

Jack: It's just about being level headed really. Just learn to be level headed in moments of high tension.

Cristina: How do you practice that?

Jack: By exercising your rational mind. Yeah. It's not that difficult. You just got to think more than you feel.

Cristina: Yeah. Because not everything is dangerous.

Jack: Not everything is dangerous. No.

Cristina: It reminds me of mermaids and mermands. Mermen, Merman and mermaids.

Jack: How does it remind you of mermaids?

Cristina: Because mermaids are seen as. Mermaids are dangerous. But mermands bring you luck actually. Or good luck. But if you think of it as a dangerous thing, you might hurt it.

Jack: A merman.

Cristina: A merman.

Jack: Why are mermaids evil and mermen not?

Cristina: Because I don't know what makes the difference. I don't know. Mermen want to give you mermen. Mermen work like genies.

Jack: I mean, I guess they kind of look like a genie, but instead of being like half ghost, it's like half fish.

Cristina: Yeah. And he grants you wishes if you find him. But mermaids want to drown you. For some reason they love murdering people.

Jack: Because mermaids are basically sirens, right?

Cristina: Yeah. And sirens are like the same as mermaids. Yeah, they like to kill fishermen and stuff. They like to sing, and the song that they sing usually ends up killing fishermen. I don't know why. I don't know if they eat these people or what they do with them, or they enjoy watching the dead bodies, like, float down, like some type of decoration.

Jack: What? There's no, like. I mean, they have to be doing something. It can't just be like we murder for fun. What the f*** are they? Dolphins?

Cristina: Yes. Maybe they are dolphins. Yes.

Jack: They're kind of like dolphins. Fair enough.

Cristina: They're the dolphins of. They're human dolphins.

Jack: I don't know what the f*** is a. Is a mermaid just what you. Because a dolphin is a mammal.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Is a mermaid a f****** chimera?

Cristina: What is chimera?

Jack: Chimera is like a hybrid animal.

Cristina: It doesn't have to be made through science or anything. Right. Or does it? I don't know what a chimera.

Jack: I'm just saying. Basically, some dude jumped into the ocean and f***** a dolphin.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Or a dolphin who's more prone to raping.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Raped some chick. And the chick gave birth to a mermaid.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And that happened twice. And one of them was a merman. And then the mermaid. And the mermaid created their own species by f****** each other.

Cristina: By f****** each other. Yes. There's also these creatures called fin folk, which I assume are just mermaids with different names. And they like to have sex with people and that somehow keeps their life long.

Jack: They don't reproduce. They just f*** people and then they live longer.

Cristina: Yes. Yes. They just. Sex with humans equals longer life.

Jack: Interesting. I've never heard of fin folk.

Cristina: Yeah, that's in Scotland and Ireland.

Jack: Seems like they have all the things.

Cristina: They have all the things. But they say that if you practice the Bible, it'll stop the Finn folk from stepping on dry land.

Jack: What does practicing the Bible mean?

Cristina: I don't know. Reading the Bible, knowing what God is telling you, being a good Christian person.

Jack: Right. So if you're a good Christian, they won't bother you.

Cristina: Yes. That's the answer to most of these solutions of dealing with anything. Yes.

Jack: It seems like everything in Ireland was designed by the Catholic Church.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: All of it. There's nothing that exists in Ireland. Isn't a real place. The Catholic Church made Ireland up.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's where we're at. They've made. So like every story that exists in this fictional place called Ireland came from f******. It's just another story.

Cristina: Ireland is a fictional location.

Jack: Ireland is like the Bible. It was just made up by the Catholic Church. Yes, that's where we are. That's. That's what I believe.

Cristina: Don't you know people from Ireland.

Jack: I've never been to Ireland. They probably convinced. I don't know if they. I don't know people in Ireland. I know people who think they've been to Ireland. And it's like people who've been to some of these other places. You could just be told the plane landed there, but there's no f****** such place. How do you know? You're not flying the plane and the guy flying the plane is a government shill.

Cristina: And what about the people of Ireland? Are they also.

Jack: There's nobody who's a person of Ireland. It's everybody being lied to that there's a place called Ireland.

Cristina: What?

Jack: But there's no such. There's no such place as Ireland. I refuse.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Because the Catholic Church made it up.

Cristina: They didn't.

Jack: There's no such thing as Ireland.

Cristina: I don't know. There's an Irish saint, though, that traveled to look for the island of paradise, which. I'm not sure what the island of paradise is. I think that's where the Garden of Eve is hidden or something. Is it called Eve? The Garden of Eden? Of Eden, yes. That's probably where that's hidden. I don't know.

Jack: It's somewhere. It's either on an island or a section of Africa.

Cristina: Oh, okay. On his travel, he found the paradise of birds where there were birds singing and praising God.

Jack: Okay.

Cristina: Yeah. And they told him to travel for seven years and then come back, and then he'll be holy enough to find the island of paradise.

Jack: So I'm so confused by that.

Cristina: Sorry, What? That he wanted to look for the island of paradise.

Jack: Right.

Cristina: And he found a bird. Island of paradise for birds. And the birds were singing for God. And then I guess they told him, hey, in seven years, you'll be able to be holy enough to see the island.

Jack: So these were talking birds?

Cristina: Yeah, they were talking.

Jack: They found an island of birds that are kind of like Scooby Doo.

Cristina: Yes. No. Well, I don't know. They were singing and praising God. That's all they were doing.

Jack: Then how. Then who told him?

Cristina: A bird.

Jack: So it's a f****** talking bird?

Cristina: Yeah, I guess. Yes. They're talking birds.

Jack: This is an island of talking birds. Were they all parrots?

Cristina: Possibly.

Jack: But then these parrots who haven't been introduced to society just knew English.

Cristina: Yes. They know the word of the Bible. Someone preached. There was a bird preacher preaching Bible. I mean, church stuff to the birds and they were all doing their church. He just happens to be there on Sunday.

Jack: It was a Sunday? I don't know, it probably was.

Cristina: It was a Sunday and they were just having their Bible lessons and he came and they were like, nah, you gotta wait seven years.

Jack: Kind of like Link.

Cristina: He had only seven years.

Jack: Yeah. He was too young to pull out the master sword or to use the master sword. So when he pulled the master sword, he got encompassed in the chamber of Sages. And then the sages told him, you are going to. It's going to be a blink of an eye to you. But seven years would have passed on the outside for you to be old enough to wield this sword. And when you get out, you're gonna be the right age, as if you aged. But it's gonna be like a. You're gonna be out there in a second, but you're gonna be an adult.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And now you'll be able to wield a sword at that age.

Cristina: Wouldn't he be super weak and stuff like still have the strength of a child?

Jack: No, he's a grown man.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: His body grew to that of a grown man.

Cristina: Yeah, but he wasn't doing anything. But he wasn't doing anything for that seven years. He was just standing there.

Jack: The sword gave him the power necessary to have the body.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: It did everything as if he was in there bench pressing the whole time.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Is over here. He bench pressing.

Cristina: He wasn't starving to death at. When he.

Jack: No, he's wet. He's like ripped. He got out there cocky as anything.

Cristina: All right.

Jack: And he had all the muscles and all the strength to do everything he had to do.

Cristina: And.

Jack: And he just walked out with the master sword and killed everything he had to kill effortlessly. And so sort of the same thing happened.

Cristina: He had a child's brain at least though.

Jack: Yes. That's the f***** up part, right? That's the part that blows my mind because like the date ages brain too. In which case it's not even the same person.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's weird, right?

Cristina: I mean it would be an adult's brain, but no, the memories would all be still child memories. They didn't give him new memories of.

Jack: The experience was his own.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah.

Jack: He didn't implant anything. Which means by default, even in his mind he's still like 12.

Cristina: He's still 12 in a man's body.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just the body cannot wield a sword. But he's still an immature a** child.

Cristina: Yeah, but he was never immature either.

Jack: He was never immature. Interesting. He was particularly mature for his age.

Cristina: Ah, I guess that helps.

Jack: Yes. So maybe he already had a mind. Way ahead and in becoming a man. Right. He's immature, but not by much. If he's like 10 to 12, but his maturity is like 16, then you add seven years and he's like 19, but he's like 17. Maturity wise, he's not like far off. Yeah, so he's like still kind of where he needs to be. Maturity wise, he was centered enough from the two points that at his young age he was mature for his age. And at his grown age he was just slightly immature for his age. Yeah, but it wasn't like that.

Cristina: But all he needed was to be the right age to hold the sword.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Nothing else.

Jack: Nothing else. He needed to have a certain amount of strength and willpower. That was it.

Cristina: But he already had that.

Jack: Yeah, he had the willpower.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Which is why he could pull the sword out in the first place.

Cristina: Yeah. And this guy needed to be holy enough for this island. I wonder what's on the island. It's probably. If it's like the bird island, then there's just saints who are singing and praising to God. So I don't know what's so interesting about finding the island.

Jack: There should be nobody on that island. Why the Garden of Eden?

Cristina: Well, if it's. Yeah, yeah. It was a story from another saint who found the island. First he found the island, he told him about it and then he went on the search.

Jack: But this other saint to found the island.

Cristina: What happened?

Jack: This other saint that found the island, what about him? That's what I'm asking. What about him?

Cristina: He found the island like.

Jack: But he must have stayed on the island if he left the island after he found it.

Cristina: Oh yeah.

Jack: It's still just an empty island.

Cristina: Empty island. Yeah, that's true.

Jack: It's just f******. Hey, there's an island.

Cristina: That's weird. I guess it's just an attraction. You find it and then you leave. Because he. After he found it, he left.

Jack: What do you want to do there alone?

Cristina: I don't know. There's something I don't get. What's the point? Seven years to see this island and then leave.

Jack: Well, in theory. In theory, the fruit of knowledge is there.

Cristina: So he eats the fruit and then you know, everything. And then you know. But the sad part is that once he gets home, he dies. That's how his story ends. But maybe that other guy who ate the fruit continues to live on.

Jack: And the other guy ate the fruit?

Cristina: I don't know. We're assuming that anyone who visits the islands eats the fruit.

Jack: So maybe the saint ate the fruit too. He got there, ate the fruit, left, and then f****** died.

Cristina: Yeah, maybe someone killed him. I think it was murder.

Jack: Could be. It could be that there are people just killing anybody who takes the fruit.

Cristina: That's crazy.

Jack: Hitmen from God.

Cristina: Hitmen from God? What? The Church is doing it.

Jack: The Church is doing it. Did the Church make up the island too?

Cristina: I don't know. But then why would they make up the story of the guy who found the island and then died in the end?

Jack: To find people who are seeking the truth and off them before they get to any other truth.

Cristina: Oh, it's a trap. It's a trap.

Jack: It's a trap by the church. It's like people who try to find Ireland kill them. You kill anybody who tries to find Ireland? It's not a real place. And you can't have anybody reporting that.

Cristina: Why? What about these magical creatures from Ireland?

Jack: Well, you need those stories to exist, so you can't have anybody tell anybody else. There's no island for that to even be true. So the Church needs to off anybody who finds out that these things are a lie. The same way there is no Garden of Eden. So when people go and they find the exact location and they do find this island and find out this is just a normal island.

Cristina: You think that's what he found?

Jack: Yeah, that's why they leave. It's not paradise. It's just a f****** island. And then they leave. And then the church is like, he knows.

Cristina: He knows. Whoa. Maybe he knows, man. But his journey besides that is pretty crazy. He saw a sea monster. There was a sea monster trying to attack the ship. And then God saved them by sending another sea monster to fight off that sea monster. Kills it.

Jack: Story of Godzilla is real.

Cristina: Yes. Godzilla. Okay. What would fight Godzilla? Or is Godzilla the one fighting?

Jack: Well, no, it's a giant. Yeah. Godzilla is like God's Zilla.

Cristina: Okay. Yes. The Kraken was attacking their ship and God's zilla. Godzilla came, fought it, killed it, then they ate the monster.

Jack: So everybody had, like, enough food forever. Yeah, it was like, a lot.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: In any case, Godzilla is a misinterpretation because it is g O D not dash hyphen S. Zilla. His name is Zilla.

Cristina: His name is Zilla.

Jack: He's not a Godzilla. He's Gods. Zilla?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: God sent Zilla.

Cristina: Yes. He sent Zilla to fight off the sea monster. And then they Ate the sea monster because why wouldn't you eat.

Jack: Did they share some of it with Zilla as an offering?

Cristina: Probably. They couldn't eat that whole thing.

Jack: There's no f****** way. Right. And Zilla needs to eat before he goes back to whatever the f*** he was doing.

Cristina: Yes. I wonder what he's doing.

Jack: Just sleeping. He hibernates.

Cristina: He hibernates.

Jack: He waits until God tells him to do stuff.

Cristina: I'm sure he's singing and praising God like the birds.

Jack: Yes. In some underground Atlantis like place.

Cristina: Yes. Where the mermaids are.

Jack: Where the mermaids are. Well, the mermen.

Cristina: The mermen.

Jack: Only mermen. They're all gay for each other. And they hang out with Zilla while the mermaids are committing evil atrocities. Because women. That's what they do.

Cristina: That's what they do.

Jack: Women are just evil inherently.

Cristina: Because of Eve. Yes, because of Eve.

Jack: We're getting to. We're getting to this episode. We're getting to the bottom of things. All the pieces are coming together. Eve invented evil. Adam didn't touch the apple.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then we know that a guy dolphin f*****, raped, raped some chick in the water and she gave birth to a half fish, half woman. And then this happened in two different instances. And then the other one was half man, half fish.

Cristina: In which they could have babies.

Jack: Yes. And then they found each other and, you know, typical relationship things. They f***, they had babies, but they were incompatible. He was like, man, she's kind of cruel and mean and like. We breaking up.

Cristina: Yes. So the other guys stay together. All the girls stay together.

Jack: Yeah. They did the south park thing where it's like these women are just murdering other humans. We love humans. We use our powers for good. They use the powers to lure them in and kill them.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And so they just broke up. Atlantis is just a bunch of gay mermen. And Zilla.

Cristina: And Zilla.

Jack: And they take their word directly from God because God has no beef against the men. God's only beef is women, which the Bible tells us. Yes, The Bible explicitly says, f*** women. You rape women, you kill women. You trade women like property. But men, you all good. All you. You didn't eat the apple. You guys could. You didn't f*** anything else.

Cristina: You're all holy.

Jack: You're all holy. You haven't sinned yet.

Cristina: Nope.

Jack: And we know this. That's why all the priests get the pass.

Cristina: That's why all. Yes.

Jack: That's why all the priests get the pass. You guys didn't f*** up at the beginning, so now you get to pass the f*** up as much as you want. It's been millions of years. You guys can do whatever you want.

Cristina: Only those nuns that help them out get punished.

Jack: Yes, only the nuns. Any nun does anything, you're going straight to h***. All the priests can do whatever they want. And no matter what God's like, you did good for so long.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You could do whatever you want while.

Cristina: The nuns go crazy and cry like cats.

Jack: Yes. And bite people.

Cristina: And bite people.

Jack: And each other.

Cristina: And each other.

Jack: The nuns are going crazy, nuns are going crazy, priests. Now you get to do whatever you want. God approves.

Cristina: That's so crazy. Another crazy story is that they saw a griffin and a bird fight each other and the griffin died.

Jack: What was the size of this bird?

Cristina: I don't.

Jack: What the f***.

Cristina: It was a parrot from that island.

Jack: Right. Just all the powers of God given to it.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: That parrot showed up. I mean, is a griffin a demon at this point?

Cristina: I guess.

Jack: And it's like that bird showed up and because it could say, the power of Christ compels you. That griffin just went down, all its magic gone, boom, Flat into the ground.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That parrot. Power of Christ compels.

Cristina: Yeah, that's exactly how it sounded like.

Jack: Yup.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. What an epic battle.

Jack: It was so short, too.

Cristina: It was so short.

Jack: It was the shortest, most epic battle. That griffin was doing crazy flight maneuvers and the parrot was fighting all sloppy the way they do.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And the griffin was about to attack.

Cristina: And then all the parrot did was.

Jack: Say, the power of Christ compels you. What the is a griffin? It's like the head of an eagle. The body of, like, a lion and the wings of, like, a bird.

Cristina: I mean, I. I would think. Wait, the head of a what?

Jack: Wait, is it the head of an eagle? There's some creature that's like the head. No, it's the head of a lion. Right. The body of a horse and the.

Cristina: Wings of an eagle and the tail of a snake. I don't know.

Jack: Snake.

Cristina: What? It's mostly an eagle with the body, I guess, the. It's like half eagle, half lion.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Is that the best way to say.

Jack: That we're looking at the head of an eagle with like the. The mane of a lion or around its neck area. The body of a lion and the tail of lion. But the wings of the eagle, it's. It's a chimera between an eagle and a lion.

Cristina: Yeah. That's pretty epic looking.

Jack: It's like a. If you had an eagle Pokemon and it evolved, it Would evolve into a f****** griffin.

Cristina: That would be awesome. And it lost to a parrot. That's crazy, man.

Jack: A griffin looks hardcore. What do you think would win a fight between a griffin and a pegasus?

Cristina: A pegasus.

Jack: Pegasus has magic on his side, bro.

Cristina: And griffins don't.

Jack: I don't know. I think a griffin is just a creature.

Cristina: Oh, and what was the other creature you said?

Jack: Pegasus.

Cristina: Pegasus. Are you sure Pegasus have magic?

Jack: No, I think that's also a creature. I think the only one who has a creature is a unicorn. I think a unicorn will off both of these easily.

Cristina: Because it has magic.

Jack: Because it's magic. Like a unicorn still flies, but also it has no f****** wings. It's just like raw magic.

Cristina: It has to be magic.

Jack: It has to be magic. It's just raw magic. Meanwhile, a griffin and a pegasus are just creatures.

Cristina: Yes. I don't know. Maybe unicorns have invisible wings.

Jack: That'd be interesting. That would be magic.

Cristina: That would be magic.

Jack: Okay, this doesn't matter. It's all just magic.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: No matter how you look at a unicorn, it's magic.

Cristina: It's gotta be magic. Okay, so the unicorn wins, though.

Jack: Yeah, the unicorn wins by default. So the real argument would be a pegasus and a griffin. I would argue the griffin wins. Right. Because the pegasus is still just a f****** horse with wings. While this is like the predator of the sky and the predator of the ground just fuse into the most hardcore s*** that has ever existed.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So it's like, pretty much anything that fights a griffin is f*****.

Cristina: How about a dragon?

Jack: What's. How far off is a griffin from a dragon?

Cristina: I don't think griffin has firepower.

Jack: Fair. Fair. So we would say in the animal, in the, like, mythological creature. Tier.

Cristina: Tier, yeah.

Jack: It goes from dragon to griffin, then Pegasus.

Cristina: Where does Godzilla fit?

Jack: Well, Godzilla, like, is a dragon. Godzilla's a dragon. He's just an oversized dragon.

Cristina: Yeah. With no wings.

Jack: With no wings. So arguably worse than a dragon. Depending on the size of the dragon. If we're looking at, like, medieval dragon, like the western version of a dragon. Right. If we're looking at the western version of a dragon.

Cristina: How big are they?

Jack: We're talking the size of, like, a small building.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Not huge the way, like, God, like, Godzilla could stomp on one of those m************ easily.

Cristina: Like a house, maybe.

Jack: Like. Like a traditional current size house.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like four of those put next to each other.

Cristina: Is a dragon.

Jack: Is a dragon. Including wingspan. Like, its body alone. Like, its body alone is probably the size of a house with its wingspan Being the size of maybe like four houses put in a row.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: While Godzilla could stomp that s*** out. Easy.

Cristina: Okay, so Godzilla's on top of the list.

Jack: Yeah, Godzilla's on top of the list. Unless we're talking like some monstrous f****** ridiculous Godzilla sized dragon. That's crazy. And I don't know why that there's no f****** movie about that.

Cristina: A Godzilla sized dragon. Dude, isn't that Chinese dragon huge? The really long dragon?

Jack: You mean like the one from Dragon Ball Z?

Cristina: Yeah, he's really long and really big.

Jack: Well, Shenron is so f****** big you could see him from space. Yeah, like you could be off of earth and just see Shenron if he summoned. That's how big Shenron is. He doesn't count.

Cristina: He doesn't count.

Jack: Unless we're like going into these detailed dragons, in which case what's bigger? Shenron or the world serpent?

Cristina: I would think they're both the same size.

Jack: Interesting, interesting, interesting.

Cristina: Because they both wrap around the world, right?

Jack: Not Shenron. Shenron comes right out of the the dragon balls and floats over them to grant you the wish before he goes back to sleep.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So I don't know. Okay, so this says that Shenron is not so astronomically large as to wrap around the planet. He's smaller than like a city.

Cristina: That's a. That's the size of the castle they compare him to.

Jack: Yes. Not. Well, even the castle is not the size of a city.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: But he's roughly like castle's huge and Shenron is roughly the size of this huge castle.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: While the world serpent can wrap around the f****** planet.

Cristina: Yes, that's why that's humongous. Right?

Jack: Yes. So size wise, we begin at the world snake. For sure there isn't s*** bigger. He's limit. Just the limit of it. He's as big as any mythological creature gets the world serpent.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Then we go to Shenron and then we get to Godzilla.

Cristina: Okay, but when it comes to fight, can Shenron or the world serpent. Actually the world serpent can fight because he fights. What's his name? He fights Thor in the end, right? Yeah. So he can put up a fight.

Jack: Yes, but against Godzilla, the world serpent would one shot him? Yes, yes, because Thor would one shot Godzilla.

Cristina: Yeah. Shenron, can he fight?

Jack: Shenron is pure magic and he can do whatever the f*** he wants. Okay, so size is not a problem here.

Cristina: He's got magic.

Jack: He's got magic. Shenron could one shot both Thor and the world serpent. Cuz magic. So power wise, Shenron is The limit. Shenron could bring the entire Earth back just because you asked him to.

Cristina: Yeah. And isn't there a bigger snake that I'm. I guess, magical Shenron version of Shenron, you know?

Jack: Yes, I know exactly what you're talking about. The one you're talking about is Super Shenron from Dragon Ball. Super who is. Who s****. He s**** on. He s**** on the size of the f****** World Serpent by such a ridiculous margin. The World Serpent would be missed. Like, Super Shenron wouldn't see him from how small it is by comparison.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Super Shenron is 57 billion light years.

Cristina: I don't even understand how we could imagine the size of that.

Jack: We'd see him from most places in the universe.

Cristina: We would just. We would all see him.

Jack: We would all see him. Like, if he's summoned, it doesn't matter where in the universe we are. He's bigger than everything else in the sky.

Cristina: He's so big, though, that. Would we be inside him? Would everything be inside him? Because he's humongous. Like, where is he? Would he be away from us? Or we all just automatically be in him because he's so freaking big.

Jack: That's weird, right? He would. But no, he would coil in such a way that he. Because he's. He would dodge everything. I guess he would just be so.

Cristina: He is magical.

Jack: He's magical. Yeah. But that's another thing. Holy crap. That's another thing. Not only is he so absorbently big that he's 57 billion light years in size, but it's pure magic.

Cristina: But he's pure magic.

Jack: More pure magic than Shenron. So even if Shenron is smaller than the World Serpent and more overpowered, Super Shenron would smack the crap out. Like, Super Shenron can't see. He doesn't know Shenron exists.

Cristina: No.

Jack: That's like some afterthought at best.

Cristina: You think he can see the World Serpent? Or is that too small?

Jack: Too small? Too small. We're talking that this guy is the size of many. It's. What is it, four light years? Four light years. Just four. From here to our nearest star, Alpha Centauri.

Cristina: He's that big. Yeah. He's from here to.

Jack: Wait, is Alpha Centauri the closest star? It is. Right. Is that a galaxy?

Cristina: That is not.

Jack: I think Alpha Centauri is a star. Right. Because Andromeda is the galaxy. Got it. So Alpha Centauri is the closest star, and it's four billion light years. I mean, four light years, not billion. It's just four Light years away. Think about how far away in size this guy is.

Cristina: I don't.

Jack: Even if we. Even if Shenron, Super Shenron was just the distance of Earth to Alpha Centauri, that would be so magnificently large in our sky that it would compensate for everything else. No, Super Shenron is 57 billion light years in size.

Cristina: But what does that even mean, light years in size?

Jack: Yeah. Yeah.

Cristina: What?

Jack: How many light years is our observable universe in size?

Cristina: What if he's bigger than that?

Jack: That's crazy. So the observable universe according to God, which is Google, is 93 billion light years.

Cristina: He's more than half.

Jack: He's more than half of the size of the observable universe. We would see Super Shenron from anywhere in the universe encompassing the majority of the universe.

Cristina: Yeah, that's ridiculous.

Jack: He would be so big in our sky. We couldn't tell that we're looking at him.

Cristina: No, he would just. What would he look like?

Jack: The sky would just turn yellow because he's golden. So the sky would just look gold and we wouldn't know that we're looking at him.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That's how big he is. It would just look like the sky just turned gold. The end. Well, meanwhile, we're looking at Shenron. Super Shenron.

Cristina: That's ridiculous.

Jack: So tier size, he wins him by like, there's nothing bigger.

Cristina: There's nothing big.

Jack: Like, it's questionable. Yeah, it's questionable that God is bigger. Like actual God might be smaller than Mega Shenron. Super Shenron.

Cristina: Well, if God's the size of like the God from Dragon Ball Z, he's very tiny.

Jack: Oh, yeah, it could totally be the case. Like Zeno is way smaller.

Cristina: Or little boy, I guess, is his size.

Jack: Yeah. So it would go the, the, the tier here is Super Shenron, then miles away. Miles away. The world serpent the size of just measly planet.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then we get to Shenron, size of just like a big a** building, actually. Well, it's a huge. It's ridiculously huge building. That's the problem. It's bigger than Godzilla.

Cristina: It's bigger than Godzilla.

Jack: It's bigger than Godzilla. Shenron is bigger than Godzilla. Then Godzilla and whatever monsters Godzilla fights. My question is, is the Norse mythology giants the size of Godzilla or are they smaller than Godzilla And I actually think they're smaller than Godzilla.

Cristina: Are you sure? Please remember that footprint of the horse? That horse has to be huge.

Jack: The horse had to be huge.

Cristina: That's one footprint of an eight legged horse.

Jack: Yeah, but like a Godzilla footprint People could just go inside of it.

Cristina: So can they go inside of his footprint? The magical horse's footprint?

Jack: Are we thinking that the horse is bigger than Godzilla, though?

Cristina: Yes. No. Maybe the same size? No, but longer.

Jack: They're in the ballpark. They're in the ballpark.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They're in the ballpark of size. I think Shenron would beat them in size.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So it'd be Shenron, Godzilla, and all these other mythological things from Norse mythology. And then we have all the smaller things.

Cristina: Yes, fair. That's crazy. But then how did the people sailing sea Godzilla fight this creature? Like, that's got to be crazy to see. I mean, how do you not die if you can see it? Unless it's happening from far away. It could be.

Jack: It could be that you're getting attacked by the Kraken, which is also huge as f***. Yeah, but the Kraken, like, compared to size, like, Godzilla could just b**** smack that s***.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So Godzilla just comes, rips it out, like, snaps. It's f******. I guess it has no bones to snap, but it could just, like, crush it to death. And then you guys just eat this giant kraken.

Cristina: Yeah, but the way they. Their bodies are moving in the water, I feel like it just destroy the boat.

Jack: The way just Godzilla coming out of the water would create tidal waves exactly like these.

Cristina: This event has to have happened super far away.

Jack: So Godzilla popped up the crack inside, and it's like, fight time.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But they still got, like, a crazy wave coming. So Godzilla instantaneously won, and they angled their ship in such a way that it just, like, cruised with a wave.

Cristina: Yes, because how else would they survive that?

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: It's ridiculous. The size of Godzilla and then I guess all the other creatures, like the. The Griff. Way smaller. Those are like babies compared.

Jack: They're so small. A griffin, wingspan included. Maybe a little bit bigger than a room.

Cristina: That's so pretty. I guess compared to us, it's big.

Jack: But compared to humans, it's big. But, like, Godzilla, stomp that s*** out. Yeah, so, like, in the. In the fight between a Griffin and a Pegasus, whatever. Who cares? The griffin is gonna win. But Griffin versus Godzilla, One shot.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Godzilla needs to fight, like, Norse creatures or the Titans.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You know, from, like, Greek mythology.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But then all of them will get one shot by Shenron. Actually, even the world serpent, which is way the f*** bigger than Shenron, will get one shot by Shenron. But it's magic. Which then brings up an interesting point. What could a unicorn, one Shot the World Serpent. Because. Also magic. I feel like it's also a tier of magic. Right.

Cristina: There could be a tier of magic.

Jack: Like, the unicorn doesn't have, like, unfathomable magic abilities. It's like, you know, has magic, but it's not, like, impossibly magical.

Cristina: Yeah, it can't be. If we learned anything from our other episode about. I don't really remember what it was about, but that the Force and using the Force to do magic, if you abuse it, you'll die.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: So the unicorns, they wouldn't abuse the magic.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: If they're using the same force.

Jack: So we're saying the Force is equal to magic. Yes, because in the case of all these other people, they have abilities that they're channeling.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But it wasn't like magic. It was like they're really channeling just this energy. Yeah, but Shenron is doing some whole other s***. He can make anything happen.

Cristina: Yeah, but he's getting it from the same place everyone else is getting it from.

Jack: Or is he one of the sources of it?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like, is he the embodiment of the Force?

Cristina: He could be.

Jack: And Super Shenron is, like, the biggest focus of that energy.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So they aren't abusing it or using it.

Cristina: No, they aren't.

Jack: They are it.

Cristina: Yeah, but a unicorn is using it.

Jack: A unicorn is using it, but in.

Cristina: This kind of the same way that Transformers are using it. Like, it's born in them. Yeah, they're not training for it.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, they're not. They're not. But then again, it could just be channeling it.

Cristina: Or channel.

Jack: But I don't know. It feels like a unicorn isn't thinking about using magic. It's just, like, natural. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, no Transformers. Like, oh, I got a train and trans. No, you just can do it.

Cristina: Yeah. It's supernatural. Unless there is. We don't know what a baby Transformer looks like. What if they're training?

Jack: Well, there's a whole. There's no baby Transformer. There is a planet that is a machine that pumps out Transformers.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: The planet itself is pumping out.

Jack: The planet itself is a robot. What? Okay, so referring to back to our noble God Google, the Transformers are a species of sentient, living robotic beings originating from the distant machine world, Cybertron. The stories of their lives, their histories, and most especially their wars have been chronicled across many different continuities in the vast multiverse. So Cybertron is where they come from. How are they made? It just, like, spits them out.

Cristina: It Says that a computer made them. Their bodies were forged by a plasma energy chamber and given intelligence by the mega computer Vectas Sigma. So their planet has a computer in it. I mean, their planet is a machine already.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: With a computer in it that's pumping out robots.

Jack: Wow, there's just so many doors just opened. So in the area of size of creatures, Cybertron is bigger than Godzilla as well, and actually bigger than Shenron. And technically. Technically, also bigger than the World Serpent.

Cristina: Cybertron.

Jack: Yes, because the World Serpent wraps around the world.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But isn't as thick. So the Cybertron is, in theory, more mass overall.

Cristina: Yeah, I would imagine that it would be bigger than Earth anyway because it holds all these robots. Like, it's got to be a huge.

Jack: Like, the robots are big themselves.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Interesting. Interesting.

Cristina: I don't even know where to start.

Jack: Okay, okay, for everybody, we just took an intermission to learn everything there was to learn about Transformers. So let's go back real quickly. The Transformers were made by a planet that was a machine. The planet was made by this bigger robot thing in order to pump out robots to fight some other planet that was also pumping out robots, apparently. And so this thing was made by yet another bigger, greater robot. And then that robot that kind of seems to be God was made by something called the one who's just God.

Cristina: Yes. God made two robots. Well, he made one robot, and then he made another robot from that robot.

Jack: Which was his twin.

Cristina: Which was his twin. So one was a good twin, was the evil twins. He began with the Eve.

Jack: Yes, he began with the evil twin, and then he made the good twin. So the argument is God made man, like regular biological life.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And also mechanical life.

Cristina: He only knows how to do it the same way. That's so crazy. Yeah, it's the same exact way he did human mankind.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: That's so lazy.

Jack: I recommend. Oh, crap. We're probably gonna do a whole episode about this history.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Like, we have to. We just ended up talking about it, and we're totally, like, out of time.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: So. So we're probably gonna do an episode on Transformers, breaking down the entire history and how, like, we're gonna. We're gonna explain how God and robots relate. That's gonna happen.

Cristina: It's gonna happen.

Jack: Okay, now, the interesting part about this entire episode is that the guy with the axe could one off everybody. He's the only one who could one shot Super Shenron with his lucky ax.

Cristina: I don't think so. I don't think so.

Jack: You don't think so.

Cristina: He's an average guy. He's a guy can't even carry a deer.

Jack: He's. He totally can't.

Cristina: So I don't know how he's strong enough to do that.

Jack: I guess the argument is, is he better than. Could he want. Could he off the Pegasus or the Griffin? He could probably off the Pegasus, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Could he off the Griffin. The Griffin's fast. It's dangerous. It's aligned.

Cristina: It got killed by a parrot, so I guess he can.

Jack: D***. D***. Yeah, fair enough. You right. You right. You got that. Anyways, if you guys enjoyed this episode.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: You can find, I guess, other episodes about completely random, unrelated, strung together things.

Cristina: Like the Transformers, which just happened. Yeah.

Jack: So you guys can totally do that. Go find those episodes.

Cristina: And on this episode, listen to the last episode. It was a great episode.

Jack: Yeah. And you can find all that stuff on the official website greatthoughts.info or on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere you get your podcast.

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

Jack: Yes. And remember to subscribe rate. And if you feel so inclined, review.

Cristina: The show and let someone who might like this show know about it.

Jack: Yes. This is exactly how it began. A guy sharing with the kindness of his heart, the show and then it turned out to be a show in which we find out a bunch of things, including the fact that women are evil.

Cristina: Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah.

Jack: Mermaids happened because of dolphin raped people.

Cristina: Of course.

Jack: As usual. As expected, you know, as dolphins do.

Cristina: Yeah. So they can live longer.

Jack: They can live longer. It happens. And Griffins vs. Pegasus, equal fight or relatively closer than Parrot vs. Griffin, in which a parrot easily wins thanks to.

Cristina: The power of God.

Jack: Thanks to power of God. Also Godzilla. We've had that wrong this whole time. His name is Zilla. He's gods.

Cristina: He's Godzilla. Yeah.

Jack: Godzilla beat the Kraken that was attacking the sailors who were in the first place on the sea, probably trying to survive. Mermaids.

Cristina: And they're also fictional because they come from Ireland, which is also fictional.

Jack: Yeah, Ireland never happened. And neither did the Garden of Eden. And that's all invented by the church who's killing anybody who finds out. Yes, but we work for the Illuminati, so we're protector.

Cristina: Yeah, that's why we're sharing you with. That's why we're sharing this with you. Yeah.

Jack: So that you know you're all going to be killed.

Cristina: Yeah. By the church or by the cancer.

Jack: That you got by listening to the show.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: This. That nice little summary.

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

Jack: Bye.

Cristina: But is there things like that in other.

Jack: Yes. Politics.

Cristina: They have dress. They dress up.

Jack: Not the dressing thing, but the weird traditions. Like when they did that book thing that they walked the book across the thing in a specific way, and then the news was covering how it got walked down the. Let's just take it. It's a f******. Just walk it down the g****** hallway. What are you talking about, a book?

Cristina: Yeah, the Bible.

Jack: No, it was like a set of rules or something for the President to sign or some s***. And then everybody stood in line in a certain way and they walked this sheet of paper to him. Yeah. In a. In like a order of some sort, like. Like soldiers or some s***. They did it in a weird, specific kind of way.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Very traditional, very ritualistic. And walked it over to the chamber it had to be in with everybody standing where they had to be standing or whatever.

Cristina: Yes. Any tradition looks very strange if you don't know the reason for it.

Jack: Even if you know the reason for it. Why is it still in play?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Because what purpose does that serve now?

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. The Just Conversation podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by greatthoughts.info art by 0lupo and logo by Seth McAllister with social media managed by Amber Black.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean? Welcome to Just Conversation, the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideals in childish ways. I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And I'm Jack.

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

Jack: Yes, and also, this show is most enjoyable with a listening partner, so be sure to find somebody to make your listening partner, regardless of who they are, regardless of where they're from, regardless of. Even if you saw them on the street, casually, as they were walking, you point at them and you tell them, hey, you're my listening partner.

Cristina: And what if they walk away?

Jack: Well, then you resort to other means of getting that person who you've chosen and thus must be the one.

Cristina: They must be the one.

Jack: You chose them now. They are the one. They are the one.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah. That's how it goes. So the world works?

Cristina: You just make them the one?

Jack: You make them the one.

Cristina: Is it like love at first sight?

Jack: Yeah. You force them to be the one.

Cristina: The one.

Jack: The one.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's your listening partner.

Cristina: That's not creepy.

Jack: No, no, it's very normal. People do it all the time.

Cristina: Mm. Guess what holidays coming up.

Jack: What holiday?

Cristina: St. Patrick's Day. Our favorite saint.

Jack: Yes, that's the OG saint. The saint that gets. He. Basically, he's God. He's the only guy God is scared of.

Cristina: He's a God. He's a guy God is scared of. What?

Jack: Yeah. God makes God do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, however he wants, simply because he wants.

Cristina: Yeah, well, God, I guess, isn't the only person afraid of St. Patrick.

Jack: I mean, he makes God scared. I'm sure just by, you know, process of elimination, everybody else should be scared.

Cristina: Yes. And everyone was scared. That's why I found the story, a different story of that he. Of him getting rid of snakes. But it wasn't just snakes that he got rid of. It was snakes and demons.

Jack: Snakes and demons?

Cristina: Yes. And there was this specific demon that didn't want to run away. When he told all the snakes and demons to leave and then they ran, what happened was he told them to leave, I guess. And so they drowned into the ocean. They listened and drowned and died.

Jack: Sweet, but what the f***?

Cristina: Yes. That's how he got rid of them. By murdering them with his words.

Jack: Sounds legit.

Cristina: Yes. And there's this specific one that can't pronounce her name, but in English, we could call her the fire Spitter.

Jack: The fire spitter?

Cristina: Yes. And she's either the devil's mom or all demons. Mom. Mom. Yes. There's two different ideas of what she was besides the fire spitter. That's what I found. It's unsure, right?

Jack: Kind of like vampire hunter D or something.

Cristina: Yes. So she might be the devil's mom. But anyway, when he was getting rid of all the snakes and demons from the island, she decided to hide.

Jack: So she survived for a little while. And she let all her children die.

Cristina: Definitely because she's too busy trying to stay alive.

Jack: It's like, f*** this. Every. Every man for themselves.

Cristina: Yes. So, like, he went on top of a mountain, and he told them to go into the sea and drown, and they did. And then she somehow. I don't know how she managed to escape, but maybe she, like, closed her ears when she saw him on the mountain. Like something bad is about to happen.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: And it did. But he saw her before she could completely hide herself, and he chased her down with the fastest horse Ireland had at the time.

Jack: Faster than de Demons.

Cristina: Yeah, actually faster than demons because he did outrun her while she was running. She was too busy, though, throwing Spitfire into every water. Well, because she thought, oh, this is gonna take forever, and eventually he'll get thirsty and drink water. But he was smart and was like, I'm not going to drink this poisoned water. So he didn't drink the poisoned water, and he just kept going. And then he passed her, of course.

Jack: You mean caught up.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: It wasn't raised. He wasn't like, well, I passed you. You're behind me.

Cristina: Yes. Okay. And then he waited for her. And then when she came, I mean, and then when he saw her, he jumped. He jumped out of his hiding spot and banished her. And then she also drowned into the ocean.

Jack: Sweet. Okay, so everybody died.

Cristina: Yeah, everyone died, but she was the last to die.

Jack: So he's just killer of demons, forcing creatures to commit suicide left and right and sell God. So he controls gods, angels, demons, everything. He's just some sort of overpowered deity that we don't even label a deity. But he's like. He's beyond the demigod.

Cristina: He's. He is the God.

Jack: Like, we have to assume Jehovah is a demigod based on the traits we understand. Jehovah, he's. He has emotions. Yeah, an omniscient God can't have emotions. That. That wouldn't make sense. Right, And God can get jealous, angry, all these things. God needs you to worship. Him. Because he's not. He tells you specifically, worship me. No. Other gods is like, okay, so there's others like you. You're not omniscient. You're not every God all at the same time. You're one of them. Yes, but it seems like the real omniscient God is Saint Patrick. What he had a horse, is faster than demons. He could just will that to happen.

Cristina: Well, they gave it to him.

Jack: Who?

Cristina: I don't. The Ireland people. Yeah.

Jack: It was just a normal. That means it was just a normal horse. They gave him a normal horse.

Cristina: Was the fastest horse.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Like here.

Jack: But to them, fast is different than to him. And he got a horse and it was probably, you know, normal fast.

Cristina: It was like a winner of normal horse races.

Jack: Yeah, exactly. But then he got on the horse.

Cristina: He powered that horse, became the fastest horse.

Jack: Knight Rider type of s***. He got on the horse, the horse flamed. It burst into flames, and it was just leaving a trail of fire.

Cristina: It died that day.

Jack: As soon as he got off it, it just became normal. And it was on fire. Yeah.

Cristina: Yeah, it died.

Jack: But he doesn't care. He kills everything.

Cristina: He kills everything. Well, if you.

Jack: That's why God is like, I'll do whatever you want. Just don't kill me.

Cristina: Because God is just an angel, a demon deity.

Jack: He's a demigod.

Cristina: Okay. So complicated. But what's even more complicated is I tried to find out what a fairy was, right. Because of St. Patrick's Day in Ireland. And they're known for fairies, right?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: And I'm so confused. I'm so confused. Fairies are so many things, but what they originally were, they were seen as deities. Gods. They were gods.

Jack: Right.

Cristina: But then over time, because Christianity came to the island, they were demoted to stay around so that they wouldn't have to actually get rid of them. Because I guess the Christians actually like these stories, and they're like, wow, they're pretty interesting. But what if they were just creatures, magical creatures instead of gods? Because there can only be one God. So I don't know. Is God stronger than their God if he could turn them into magical creatures?

Jack: It was St. Patrick that did it.

Cristina: It was St. Patrick. Oh, yes. Okay.

Jack: The pioneer. The guy who brought Christianity to Ireland. St Patrick then decided, yeah, I'm a strip you guys of your exaggerated godlike powers. I don't want you to be gods anymore. Now. Now you're just f******. You're gonna be there like the humans. You can be just a different f****** creature.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then he did that, well, these.

Cristina: Guys were, I guess weren't that powerful anyway because they were the original people living on Ireland.

Jack: So you're telling me Ireland is Olympus?

Cristina: Is Olympus. Once upon a time, maybe like they were able to travel from the other world into Ireland and they loved it so much that they lived there. But then other people wanted Ireland for themselves. They've had many wars trying to defend their home, but they finally lost to St. Patrick. To the Irish people or to the ancestors of the Irish people, one led by St Patrick. Yes, he's a time travel as well. Time traveler as well.

Jack: Are we just to say that St. Patrick's is the real Kratos?

Cristina: Yes, the Kratos, Yes.

Jack: Yeah, he was just the mortal once upon a time. But eventually he killed a God, got all God's powers and used that to manipulate the rest of everything. St. Patrick, the real God of war.

Cristina: Well, from what I understand, these gods that were defeated by the Irish people shrunk themselves. They loved Ireland so much that they decided we'll just be small and live underground.

Jack: And thus the invention of midgets.

Cristina: Close, I guess. Leprechauns. Leprechauns and so many other creatures. Okay. There are so many different types of fairy races. You probably didn't think of them as fairies though. Which are dwarves, elves, gnomes, goblins, brownies and pixies.

Jack: The h*** is a brownie? Is that a racist term?

Cristina: No, it's just another short magical, human like creature thing. Yeah, they're all short magical, human like creature things.

Jack: Okay.

Cristina: Yes. And what I feel like when somebody.

Jack: Says leprechaun, they mean all of these things. Leprechaun is the blanket term? Almost.

Cristina: No. Leprechaun is a type of fairy.

Jack: I get that.

Cristina: Fairy is the blanket term thing.

Jack: Fairies, the blanket term.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Do Westerners say leprechaun and mean fairies and all the other stuff to Western like they mean fairy and fairies, the blanket term to them. When we say fairy, we think Na' Vi from Ocarina of Time.

Cristina: There's no fairy that's like that fairy. We made that up.

Jack: My point is exact.

Cristina: Okay, that's not a thing.

Jack: Westerners say leprechaun and mean all the different kinds of fairies.

Cristina: I don't know. I think we just see leprechauns as leprechauns.

Jack: Right. But if you showed us a different one of those fairies, what would we call it? We would probably call it a leprechaun.

Cristina: Even an elf. If we saw elf or gnome. We know what gnomes are.

Jack: Oh, S***. Okay, there we go. Now we're getting to places.

Cristina: Dwarfs. You know what a dwarf is?

Jack: A dwarf is just a person.

Cristina: No, they're magical little people. They're magical.

Jack: Whoa. So you're telling me Peter Dinklage is a magical fairy?

Cristina: No.

Jack: And that's why he has all these jobs.

Cristina: He's sprinkling has become two different things. Okay.

Jack: He's sprinkling his fairy dust all over people. You're telling me he's unfairly in justly getting these jobs when Wee man should be getting some of them?

Cristina: Look, fairies are complicated. They're very complicated. He may be a fairy because fairies could be every and many things. There's so many words for fairies. You could say fairy, but you can also call them sprites, you can call them spirits, you can call them supernatural entities. You can even call them angels and demons.

Jack: Right? Okay. We've established this in the Shadow Realm episode. For further information, go back there. Listen to that. Get informed.

Cristina: It is so annoying. It's so annoying.

Jack: It is. When I was figuring that out.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: I came across a lot of these problems in which limbo is purgatory, and that is the Shadow Realm, and that is an alternate version of this reality. And that what's there is here and here is there. And it's the same, but different. It has a different name, but it's the same. It's like. Yeah, it's complicated.

Cristina: There was one thing about the other, the other realm that I don't know if you talked about that I think. If you haven't, I just want to mention, though, is that time works different there.

Jack: Probably. The concept of time in itself might be entirely different.

Cristina: Yeah, but, like, for the rare people that have been able to go there and come back, hundreds of years would pass by.

Jack: It depends.

Cristina: It depends.

Jack: It depends. Let's say you get there through some form of astral projection, and you're there as a spirit. Right. Your spirit might be over there hundreds of years, and over here, hundreds of years don't pass. You might come back after being hundreds of years over there and it was only one night's sleep over here.

Cristina: Oh, I read the opposite of.

Jack: Well, that's my point. It depends on the approach that's happening.

Cristina: Oh, okay. All right. So it's. That's as complicated as the word fairy. Okay.

Jack: It's very, very f*****.

Cristina: Yes. But. Okay, so there's the leprechaun, the most famous fairy. Right. Maybe.

Jack: I'd say that other than Navi, she's not a fairy. What the h*** is she. They call her a fairy.

Cristina: That's an American made up creature. So is Tinkerbell. Tinkerbell is not a fairy.

Jack: Well, she's not a fairy by their terms. But then you have to tell me that a Japanese dragon like Shenron and then a Western dragon, that's like a giant lizard, like an iguana, a ginormous iguana with wings that breathes fire, are not both dragons.

Cristina: Okay, well, we're. Right now we're just talking about Irish creatures. Okay. They're not Irish fairies.

Jack: Got you. They're not Irish fairies.

Cristina: Correct. Because this is an Irish episode to celebrate our favorite saint.

Jack: Got you.

Cristina: So. Yeah. So what was it? Navi.

Jack: Navi.

Cristina: Navi. I guess that's a Japanese fairy.

Jack: Yes, but she's not an Irish. And she's specifically a Shinto Japanese fairy.

Cristina: Okay. And then I guess the Americans made. Not the Americans. The English made Tinkerbell.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay. But yes, none of these fairies have wings. I guess is one interesting different thing from all the ones that you could think. The ones you mentioned.

Jack: Yeah, you can actually see that in a lot of cultures where there is a shift in there. If we go back to the dragons, the Japanese dragons don't have wings. They're just like floating snake things.

Cristina: I thought it was the Chinese dragon.

Jack: Oh, it's a Chinese dragon. Well, I guess both of them, right? Yeah, they're pretty similar.

Cristina: Okay. The Asian dragons and then.

Jack: Yeah, Asian dragons. There you go. The Asian dragons don't have wings and then the western dragons do. Yeah, the Asian dragons are kind of like a snake, but the western dragons are like a lizard.

Cristina: But they're both huge, I think. Right?

Jack: Yeah, they're both ginormous. Although I believe the Japanese dragon is much bigger. Do they have. Are there any fairy, like any dragon, like fairies without wings and like floating snake thing or. They're all little people.

Cristina: They're all little people. I will talk about. I do want to talk about some other creatures in Ireland that I don't know if they're under the fairy description.

Jack: Interesting. So then tell me which one are the fairies? What? Break them down and explain these to me.

Cristina: Okay, there's. I'm gonna mention like. Okay, there's the leprechaun, of course.

Jack: What's the get up there?

Cristina: He's the lucky fairy, I guess. He's the one with the gold in the end of the rainbow. And you can get it if you catch him. He'll grant you three wishes, but you have to do it quickly because he'll try to trick You. And that would suck.

Jack: Trick you how?

Cristina: Well. Oh, One of the things about these fairies is they're all tricksters. They're all tricksters. I don't know if there's any fairies that aren't tricksters, but they all seem like tricksters. And they're not seen as evil. Trick tricksters evil either. Yes, but some of them do sound evil. Some of them are evil tricksters. Some of them are just regular trolley guys. But the leprechaun seems like the good kind, I guess, of the tricksters. Anyway, there's a story about a guy who caught a leprechaun and he wished to be taken to the gold. And the. And the leprechaun did show him where the tree was, where the gold was hidden. So the man put a marking on the tree and he let go of the leprechaun to find a shovel. But then when he came back, all the trees were marked the same way he marked the tree that he had.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Yep. Yep.

Jack: So there was no way for him to tell which one it was?

Cristina: Nope. He really messed up on that.

Jack: Yeah, so.

Cristina: So if you get a leprechaun, he shows you the gold, you gotta somehow.

Jack: Get it at that moment.

Cristina: At that moment, yes.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: I wonder if you can waste the wish, though, to have the leprechaun help you get the gold and also to leave you alone.

Jack: I'm sure there's wish rules, otherwise systems would be broken. You could also wish for many wishes if you could do that, you know.

Cristina: Yeah, but could you trust a leprechaun to tell you the rules of the wishes if there are tricksters?

Jack: Well, on the first one, you wish to be told the rules. If you have three wishes. On the second one, if it's not against the rules, then you wish for more wishes. And if it is against the rules, then you didn't waste a wish and instead you asked the leprechaun to help you. Unless that's also against rules.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: In which case you still got two wishes, but I don't know, like, one.

Cristina: Of the other still has to be to show you where the gold is.

Jack: Yes. Okay, fine. So now you know where the gold is. The other one has to be, don't kill me while I take this gold.

Cristina: Don't kill. Well, he might not kill you. He just won't want you to steal his gold. So he's gonna do some other weird thing that probably hurts you, but doesn't murder you. Yeah, he's not evil.

Jack: Don't disrupt me at all.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: While stealing Your gold.

Cristina: Alright. Even though they're not seen as evil, there are some stories where they sound a bit evil. So there's this story about a king who fell asleep on a beach and when he woke up, he found himself being dragged into the sea by three leprechauns.

Jack: To drown.

Cristina: I'm pretty sure to drown him. Maybe he's related to St. Patrick and they're like, we gotta get revenge.

Jack: It could be. Who the h*** knows? Maybe it was St. Patrick, but he.

Cristina: Was able to catch one of them and. And they granted him three wishes in exchange for them to release him.

Jack: And then what was one of the wishes?

Cristina: I don't know. To be released.

Jack: That's it. Guy just got. We got the story of a guy who caught a leprechaun and we don't know what he wished for.

Cristina: He died. It was a lie. They're just trying to cover up that they're evil because there's some. There's stories that differ between whether a leprechaun is harmless or really, really evil. So I guess it depends. I don't know. Some are evil, some aren't. That's what I'm going with.

Jack: There is a literal movie about evil leprechauns, I believe, called Leprechaun.

Cristina: Yeah, it's some weird horror movie series thing.

Jack: Serious. Oh, it's. There's many of them.

Cristina: There's many movies. So many. Like it's like a Freddy versus, you know, a Freddy movie or a Jason movie. It's just like he keeps coming back.

Jack: Oh, is it the same leprechaun?

Cristina: I'm not sure. I think so. It looks the same. Crappy looking version. I've never seen a nice looking leprechaun. Yeah, version, but okay, like Chucky. Who does he ever change his look? It's always the same dude being in a doll, right?

Jack: I think so.

Cristina: That dude is just unlucky. He should just die. His life sucks. I don't know what he's doing. Although everything he's doing in the rest of the movies make no sense because the. In the original movie he was. If he can't get into a child's body in I think a certain amount of time, then he's stuck in the doll's body. So that's it. He's stuck in that body like the rest of the movies don't make any sense of him trying to get into another person's body because he wasted the time. It's over for him.

Jack: Yeah, that's weird.

Cristina: But he still tries. But. And of Course, never does. But even if he managed, it doesn't make sense to the first movie unless they change that in the reboot. But anyway, there are other types of things that are very similar to leprechauns, and one of them is, I guess, he's a lot like a leprechaun. But he loves to drink and he's famous to haunt wine cellars and drink all the wine in there.

Jack: So he's an alcoholic?

Cristina: Basically, yes, he's the alcoholic leprechaun. And he's also described as a trickster and a practical jokester because I guess most leprechauns are. Then there's another leprechaun type fairy which likes to seduce women.

Jack: As a short individual.

Cristina: Yes, he's really good at seducing ladies. He goes to lonely places where I guess they're just like, why? I just want to fall in love. And then he comes and then they're like, whoa, make love to me. I don't know how his magic works. He comes on them and he comes on them. But it's very unlucky to meet him. Very. Because his skin is addictive and put in to it's toxic and addictive and seducing the person, they really. They really just become addicted to him. Like they need him.

Jack: Right, so it's his power.

Cristina: Well, it's his skin's power. I mean, yeah, it's his power, like superpower type thing. And the women end up dying from withdrawal after he leaves.

Jack: So they all die.

Cristina: Yep, yep, they die. But then there's the Farduring, which is the evil leprechaun, because none of those are evil. They're not evil. Except for that one that sounds a little.

Jack: How is this one any more or less evil?

Cristina: Well, this guy. Oh, his name translates to Red man. This guy Redman, he wears a red cape and hat and he does some really gross practical jokes. Like he likes to put people into sacks and kidnap people. And then there was a story where he makes them make him dinner and then when they look at the dinner, it's a witch. I don't know. I don't know how that's evil or whatever. That's just weird.

Jack: Very strange. Yes, yes.

Cristina: This is a very strange thing. But usually he just traps people in rooms.

Jack: That doesn't sound like malicious or evil. It just sounds like a douchebag.

Cristina: And. Yeah, it does. It does. He does terrifying noises. One of them is described as laughing like a dead man, which I'm not really sure what that sounds like, but that sounds like, it would be terrifying if you knew that that's what you're specifically listening to. Maybe it's a person you knew that died and you hear that laughing.

Jack: That would make sense.

Cristina: That's kind of horrifying.

Jack: Yeah, Like a very distinct laugh that you shouldn't be hearing.

Cristina: Mm. And he's also the people. The person stealing the human babies and replacing them with changelings. Remember the changelings we talked about last year?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Yep. He's the one. He's. He's the one doing it.

Jack: Why does he kidnap the children again?

Cristina: To replace them with. I don't know. To replace. As a joke, I guess. To replace them with fairy children. Right.

Jack: And then what does he do with the kid?

Cristina: Don't remember we talked about this last year, and I don't remember. You don't remember?

Jack: No.

Cristina: I'm not sure. Maybe the kids are slaves while they're baby. Like, they don't.

Jack: Underwear gnome logic.

Cristina: Yes, But I guess the purpose, though, of stealing the human babies so that these other babies could be raised and they don't have to actually raise the babies. Fairies are lazy, and they don't want to raise their babies. So they're like, let's get these humans.

Jack: To raise our babies minus a human baby they now have to raise.

Cristina: I'm sure they're not raising those babies. They throw them in the trash.

Jack: And thus the question of where trash babies come from is answered.

Cristina: Yes. That's where trash babies come from. They're also. They also bring nightmares. And they just. They just like to terror. Terrorize people. They just love terrorizing.

Jack: I mean, minus the kidnapping part. Everything else is pretty. Pretty chill.

Cristina: Even the swapping babies thing is chill.

Jack: That's the part I'm talking about.

Cristina: Oh, I thought you meant the other kidnapping of, like, when he made the guy cook and then it somehow became a witch, or trapping the person in a room, and then the scary voices.

Jack: None of that is kidnapping.

Cristina: None of that is kidnapping. But that all sounds pretty bad. No. Okay.

Jack: Sounds scary, not evil.

Cristina: Okay. Well, there's one way to avoid his tricks. You have to say, you will not mock me before he traps you.

Jack: So you could just walk around saying, you will not mock me.

Cristina: Yes, but they. But it's really hard because they set up very good traps. So you have to say before you're trapped, but you might end up being trapped before you say it, so you gotta say it. I guess you have to walk around saying it, just hoping not to get trapped.

Jack: Yeah. Or is it just, like, how. What's the Deadline on this. Can you just say it now and then you're just good forever?

Cristina: Maybe. I don't know. Probably not. You probably have to walk around saying that they're also called rat boys because they're fat.

Jack: The evil ones?

Cristina: Yes, the evil ones. They're fat. They have dark hairy skin. They have a long snout and a skinny tail.

Jack: So they don't look like dwarfs. No, they don't look human.

Cristina: They don't. They look like a giant rat. I guess they look like a. They look like a giant rat. But they're still described as being a type of leprechaun. But an evil leprechaun.

Jack: An evil rat. Leprechaun.

Cristina: Evil rat. Leprechaun. Yes. That cause nightmares and bad luck.

Jack: I feel like this is totally backwards because instead of it being a little person, it's just a giant rat.

Cristina: It's just a giant rat. Oh, it is a giant rat. Yeah. Maybe it's not a leprechaun. Maybe it's just a giant magical rat.

Jack: Sounds like it.

Cristina: Yeah. So then it's just a fairy. Not really a leprechaun. A leprechaun. So who knows. And then there's some other Ireland creatures. There's these things called the Merrow men. And the merrow. The Merrow men are ugly sea creatures. And the females are called marrows. Are beautiful because they're always beautiful, aren't they? All the women are beautiful in these type of stories.

Jack: Yeah. That's how the succubus is so attractive. And the incubus is, I don't know. A monster.

Cristina: Yes. Oh yeah, we talked about that too. Yeah, that's. And the Merrell. The Merrells are not. They're not mermaids. They have human legs instead of a tail. Except that they're. They have large flat feet and webbed fingers to help them swim.

Jack: So they are basically the swamp creature.

Cristina: Yes, they're the swamp creature. And the Merrell's ability to. To swim in water or to travel in water is from her clothes. She has a cape or a cap, depending on the story. And when she takes it off, she loses the ability. And usually a man will find it and hide it so that he could marry her because she's beautiful. And also she has lots of gold from the sea, I guess.

Jack: Okay. Sweet. Fantastic. So like a half fish woman. That's gorgeous.

Cristina: Yes. And rich.

Jack: And rich.

Cristina: Yes. And then. But if she finds her missing cape or cap, she'll end up running away and returning to the sea, leaving her husband and their children and many Families claim to be descendants from these Merrells who were entrapped by fishermen.

Jack: Really? Like, somewhere up the line, their grandma was a fish lady who jumped in the water. And we're sure that it wasn't just a crazy lady who committed suicide?

Cristina: Yeah. It could just be a lady who just abandoned her family. Maybe committed suicide, maybe not. Maybe she just abandoned her family and they were like, no way would she abandon us. She must have been a marrow.

Jack: Chances are the father made that lie up for the children.

Cristina: Yes. And then there's this thing called a banshee, which is a female spirit. I'm not sure. Spirit, fairy, sprite? I don't know.

Jack: I've heard of banshees. They're known for screaming.

Cristina: They're known for screaming? Yes. Well, crying. They're considered a omen of death. Whenever you hear her, you could assume someone's about to die.

Jack: That makes sense. They. They're known. You like, you hear them in the woods and s***. A lot of the time you hear the screams of a banshee. There's a couple of songs about that too.

Cristina: Really? Well, there's some stories where they just find her by their window. She's just next to their window crying.

Jack: That's f****** horrifying.

Cristina: Yes, well, her appearance isn't that. Well, sometimes. It depends, because she has three different appearances. She can look like a young lady, she can look like a regular woman, and she can look like a withering hag. So her age varies.

Jack: F****** banshee.

Cristina: And she can also appear as a crow, weasel or another creature called a stout. That, I think is also a type of weasel.

Jack: I didn't know that. So she could, like, shapeshift.

Cristina: Yeah. And I have three stories of this banshee lady. There was a couple who stayed at a friend's castle, a friend's castle. And on the first night around 1am, the wife heard a cry by the window. And when she looked, she saw some lady there, a lady leaning on the window, crying. And she woke up her husband scared and stuff. And then in the next day, they told. I don't know if they told their friend the story, but anyway, the next day their friend told them that she was all night up because she was with her dying cousin and her very sick cousin. And at the same time, he died. Okay. She told them that even though it's the best room of the house, there's a ghost of a lady that haunts the house. The ghost is of the former owner of the house who killed his wife. His pregnant wife. And that's the banshee that hangs out in the window?

Jack: His former wife? Yeah, but she died inside the house. Why is she hanging outside as a ghost?

Cristina: Why is she hanging outside as a ghost? Because that's what banshees do. I don't know. There's no stories of a banshee hanging out inside a house.

Jack: So she got killed and was like, I'm gonna go outside now.

Cristina: What if she got killed outside?

Jack: I thought she got killed in the house.

Cristina: No, he got. He died in the house. Her cousin died in the house.

Jack: Didn't he kill her?

Cristina: No, The. The owners of the house. The original. The former owners of the house. The husband killed the wife.

Jack: And that's the banshee.

Cristina: And that's the banshee? Yes.

Jack: The wife that died.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Why didn't she haunt the house from inside the house where she died?

Cristina: We don't know that she died inside the house.

Jack: Didn't he kill her in the house?

Cristina: He killed her and they lived in that house.

Jack: Got it.

Cristina: But that doesn't.

Jack: Got it, got it, got it.

Cristina: I understand.

Jack: I understand.

Cristina: Like, yes, maybe he did kill her in the house, but I don't. We don't know that. We don't know where he killed her. It could be anywhere. So. But that's one story. Then there's stories where people from Ireland, they move far away and a banshee still follows them. It finds their way to them.

Jack: That's interesting. Reminds me of that show that's totally full of s*** of the people who moved into the house. Or do you know the people who tell them they're f****** the time I saw a ghost or whatever the f***. And then they got reenactors and s***.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The ghost story in the room.

Cristina: Oh, yeah, okay.

Jack: That s*** that. This reminds me of that, like, he would. They were like, if we move, we'll be fine. Then they did, and then he stopped seeing her for a while, and then she popped up again.

Cristina: Well, she was hispan. She.

Jack: Except she wasn't screaming. She was just hanging in a closet. Except she was originally from the closet that she was hung in.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And then she was just like, now, Imma go hang in your new closet.

Cristina: Yes. And then I think he also saw.

Jack: Her outside, which makes no f****** sense because presumably she was haunting the place, Meaning now she haunts you. And anybody who lives in that house is fine.

Cristina: Now, I don't. I don't know how ghosts work. What if they can haunt more than one thing at a time?

Jack: That's crazy. Anybody who goes through that house is haunted by the saint. So if everybody in the world stayed at that house and then moved, they would all be haunted by the same ghost at the same time.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And that's what's happening with this banshee. Basically.

Cristina: Except none of his family was haunted and they all lived there. Maybe have to be in that specific room.

Jack: Could be.

Cristina: How are we gonna get all these people into that room?

Jack: That's crazy.

Cristina: That's crazy. But yes, like the banshee and these, these two stories, they moved to. They moved to Canada and Yeah. They heard the cry. And then the next day in one of the stories, the man of the house and his oldest son died in a boating accident. The next day after they heard the strange cry, they also asked people about the strange cry and no one saw anyone by the house, but they all heard the cry.

Jack: That's fascinating. I wonder if that has happened recently, like with banshees, you know? So banshees is an Irish creature.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Interesting, interesting. Because that's prominent in Western culture. That's prominent as h*** over here because.

Cristina: Irish people came over here and brought their banshees.

Jack: Interesting, interesting. Can you imagine? Like, let's say banshees are for facts. Real, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like, I'll probably hunt one down. We'll make that a mission. We'll add them to the collection of f******. What do we have so far? F****** werewolves and reptilian vampires. And vampires. We got a bunch of s***. Imprisoned.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: On Mars.

Cristina: We want to find if banshees can haunt people that aren't related to Irish.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: So that.

Jack: That'll be interesting to see a banshee for now.

Cristina: Alright. Because some first. For now it's only been people from Ireland or. Yeah. That have some blood in Ireland that they hunt.

Jack: That's so weird. I'm curious. A banshee is a really weird creature. It really is. Because it's like a person, but also not.

Cristina: It's not a person.

Jack: Yeah. Because like you're saying in Irish culture a banshee is a leprechaun.

Cristina: Not a leprechaun.

Jack: A fairy.

Cristina: A fairy? Yes.

Jack: Okay. It's a fairy.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: In Irish culture the banshee is a fairy.

Cristina: Yes. The best description is a spirit. But to me it seems like spirit could equal fairy. Could equal whatever.

Jack: Yeah. Because they're used almost interchangeably.

Cristina: Yeah. So that's why I'm not sure what she is.

Jack: So when we get to her, it's kind of vague. Because a woman died and became a banshee.

Cristina: Yes. In this story. Yeah. Or the banshee haunts where the woman died. And it's not the woman.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Yep.

Jack: Interest. Holy crap. That's kind of fascinating. Wow. So it could either be that people turn into banshees or.

Cristina: I never thought that people could turn into banshees in. With these things. It seems like these creatures in Ireland are separate things. They're not human. Yeah. They're their own species.

Jack: Enter the shadow realm, a place where there is a part of people that naturally exists. And upon crossing the threshold, that was still the person, but it's also not. So is the banshee a tortured soul from the shadow realm that crossed over. So maybe it was that woman's spirit. Yeah, but the shadow realm version, maybe. Intense emotion, fear, and all these things that are required for a creature from the shadow realm to manifest were all present at the death of this person and maybe lingers in there as people know about the story and create the fear that allows the banshee to continue manifesting on this side.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It is her tortured soul from the other side.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Although she died somehow, her soul didn't die. Maybe adrenochrome isn't the only way.

Cristina: Yes, maybe adrenochrome is, but then that would mean like all the emotions and feelings and stuff are somehow part of it.

Jack: Yeah. Because we know that people extract adrenochrome or whatever they're getting that keeps them alive from the fear itself.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Where they don't need the adrenal chrome. So if you get enough of that all in one shot. Is that what a haunting soul is? Like a spirit that's left behind? Right. And you're haunting a place. That's your version. That's your spirit that's from the shadow realm.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That came through. But why? It's usually because you were killed brutally or some. Some horrible thing happened, except your soul couldn't fade away. The crazy amount of emotion, fear, sadness, all those things existed at the moment of your death and tethered your soul to that.

Cristina: But it's still. The Banshee is very different from regular ghosts because it's. It's only here to warn you. Like someone's about to die, which regular ghosts don't really do anything.

Jack: Or Spirit. Yeah, because ghost is an spirit.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Regular spirit or shadow person.

Cristina: Yeah. As far as we can tell, they're not any type of warning sign. They're not going to tell you anything. Thing about the future.

Jack: Yeah. They're not there intentionally. They're just echoing through. Or if they.

Cristina: The banshee is more like the groundhog?

Jack: Yeah, it's more like the groundhog. It's there for information of some sort. But my question is, is it choosing to, or is it a reflex? Is the Banshee incapable, capable of telling.

Cristina: People that it's someone they know is about to die?

Jack: Yes. Do you know?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like, do they have to do it even if they didn't want to? They're just somewhere where death is. And they scream at death.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But then again, if we think of the Shadow Realm. Again, not to stay on the Shadow Realm topic. The reapers also call the Shadow Realm.

Cristina: Other realm, because that's what this is in this place now, I guess.

Jack: So the other Realm, the reaper comes from the other realm. And the Reaper handles life. It is a delivery mechanism in the form of a physical being.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And maybe the Banshee is terrified of the Reaper. Of the Reaper. Because it's always maybe coming for the Banshee.

Cristina: She's warning about the Reaper then.

Jack: I don't think she's warning anybody.

Cristina: She's just horrified. Of the Reaper?

Jack: Yes, because that's a lingering tethered soul to the wrong side. And the Reaper delivers souls.

Cristina: I don't know. But I think this third story might change our mind a little bit about that. Because in the third situation of a Banshee haunting a man because his daughter was gonna die, but he didn't know that she was healthy, strong, and beautiful. And then one night, he heard a voice coming from his window, and it said. Which is weird. Like, they usually just cry. And it was crying too, but it also said, in three weeks, death. In three weeks, the grave. Dead, dead, dead. That's what he heard. And then the next day, his daughter got sick or was showing symptoms of a fever. And then three weeks later, dead.

Jack: Interesting. Interesting. So it was a warning.

Cristina: It was a real warning of, like, I know what's gonna happen.

Jack: It's not that they're seeing death actively in the area, even if other people can't, because they themselves are ethereal and seeing other ethereal beings.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's that they're seeing the future.

Cristina: Yes. Like, maybe it does see death coming, but it knows, like, specific.

Jack: Oh, my God. We're missing one thing that you mentioned earlier.

Cristina: What?

Jack: And then I specified earlier, time works differently on the other side. So maybe from this side they're saying, death is coming, but it takes crazy long here. But from that side's point of view, it's immediate. He's approaching quick. But it could be weeks.

Cristina: Yeah. Even though this one is specific. Or maybe he remembers it as it being super specific.

Jack: Maybe they were super specific. Maybe the person the banshee telling the information knew specifically the. The conversion rate of time.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: And was like. Well, it takes them about three hours on this side, so we'll say like three weeks.

Cristina: Yeah. So like banshees may know the time difference equivalent of what's going on. Okay.

Jack: Just a possibility.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. And then there's the Fear Gorda. And Fear Gordas look like zombies. Actually. I think they are zombies, but we're just gonna. Well, they're like zombies from like old fashioned zombie movies. Like they're. They got bones popping out of their body. They're like super thin, they have bluish skin and their flesh is rotting.

Jack: Yeah. So it sounds like a zombie from an old school interpretation of a zombie, but like a freaking God decided to look like this s***. It was like f****** reason for it though.

Cristina: During famines it comes around and it asks for food. It asks people for food who are already dying in a famine. But if you give him the food, he'll reward you with. But if you give him food, he'll reward you with a lifelong wealth and prosperity. And those who don't give him food will have bad luck and poverty.

Jack: Sounds pretty badass. So he's testing the morality of people.

Cristina: Yes. In the worst situation, in the life and death situation, because it's a famine.

Jack: So you're starving. I'm starving. Do you care about others? Can you.

Cristina: That's a true test. That sounds very godly.

Jack: Yeah, that's very noble.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He's testing a real person. Like, do you remain a good person in the worst of circumstances?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Then you deserve good things.

Cristina: Yes. That's pretty interesting. Yeah. And then there are stories. There's two. There's like. Okay, I'll say. There's like three stories of these creatures that are very vampire. Like the author of Dracula might have based it on these creatures because he's Irish.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: But he also liked folklore, so. And he did travel, so he of course also based on other famous vampires and stories.

Jack: Transylvanian legends and whatnot.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah. So the first one is called the Avatar, the evil Irish magical dwarf king who was like. He was just pretty evil. And he killed. He was killed and buried standing up. And then the next day he came back from the grave and used his magical powers to be even more crueler than he was before. And he loves to drink the blood of his victims, of course. And there's only one way to stop him. You must kill him. And Bury him upside down. Very vampirey.

Jack: Very vampirey. Including all the weird ways to get rid of them and crap.

Cristina: Yes. The second vampire is a lady, and she is called the Red Bloodsucker. She's known as the Red Bloodsucker. She seduces men and then drains their blood. One of the stories about how she became a vampire was that she was in love with some poor peasant dude, and her father didn't like that, so he made her marry some rich dude who treated her terrible. And then eventually she committed suicide. But then she came back to get revenge on her father and her husband, and she sucked their blood until they were dead. And then now she does that once.

Jack: A year to random people.

Cristina: To random people.

Jack: She's Jeeper Scrapers.

Cristina: Well, to men, specifically. She wants men.

Jack: Oh, so she's a succubus.

Cristina: She's a Succubus. Well, yeah, but she's a vampire. And there is only one way to, quote, unquote, defeat her, because it's not really to defeat her. Like, what, did you compare her to a succubus? No, before that. Jeepers Creepers.

Jack: Jeepers Creepers.

Cristina: To stop her is like, Jeepers Creepers. You don't really defeat her. You put rocks on her grave and then she can't get up.

Jack: Yeah. You just enable her.

Cristina: Yeah. For only a year, and then she'll try to get out, and then you got to put some more rocks.

Jack: She sounds very Jeepers Creepers.

Cristina: Yeah. So maybe Jeepers Creepers was inspired by some Dracula stories or.

Jack: No, it was actually inspired by a song.

Cristina: By a song. Oh, yeah.

Jack: But that song could have used not only the song, but it could have been like a mesh of this story, a song, and a bunch of other crap to make. Because Jeepers Creeper is a scary m***********.

Cristina: Yeah. But that whole coming back every 23 years, or whatever it was isn't from the song, though.

Jack: No.

Cristina: No. So like, maybe that was inspired by this type of story. Yeah. And then the third vampire, like, person or demon? This one's more. This is a fairy vampire, and her name is Lennon Sid. I think that's how her name is said. And she's a demon that likes to inspire poets and musicians. But once they. Once they make the thing that they're gonna make, I guess she drinks their blood, she shares with them her intelligence, creativity, and magic. But when she leaves, the men go into a deep depression and they die. Then she will take her dead lovers back to her lair. And then, rather sucking their blood, she puts their blood into a Giant red cauldron, which is the source of her beauty and artistic inspiration.

Jack: Fantastic.

Cristina: Yep. So to prevent her from rising, you have to also put stones on her resting place.

Jack: Interesting, Interesting. So definitely a vampire, too.

Cristina: Yeah, she's a fairy vampire, which I guess the dwarf guy is a fairy vampire because dwarves are fairies. But then the second lady, she's just a vampire. She was human, and then she became a vampire.

Jack: So we're back to the same problem of the difference between a spirit and a fairy.

Cristina: Yes. Yes. That's why it's all so complicated. And I'm not really sure what is. What if they're all the same or if they're not the same or whatever. Where's the lines?

Jack: Yeah. Cause it seems like they do blur.

Cristina: Yes. And then the last creature, because there's so many creatures. But I'm just gonna stop at this one. It's called the Questing Beast. It is a cool creature. It's also an evil creature who has the head of a snake, the body of a leopard, the backside of a lion, and the hooves of a deer. And its cries. Its sound. The sound it makes sounds like the cry it makes sounds like the bark.

Jack: Of 30 dogs all at once simultaneously.

Cristina: Yes. And I think it's called the Questing Beast because many knights have tried to defeat this beast. I don't know if any has succeeded.

Jack: But so they go out of their way. It's an accomplishment. They're trying to do status thing. If I defeat it, I am a legend.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Okay, so it's a western dragon again. You go defeat the dragon for the status now. It will be the best knight ever. Everybody will know. And so the Questing Beast is the same idea.

Cristina: That's the same thing.

Jack: Very interesting. It sounds like a Pokemon.

Cristina: It sounds like they'll turn this into a Pokemon someday.

Jack: Yeah, fair enough. Then again, they don't make Pokemon out of animals anymore. It's sooner that you'll have, like, microphone. The Pokemon. There probably is a microphone Pokemon. I'm pretty sure that's a thing already.

Cristina: No, not yet.

Jack: I think that's. There's a microphone Pokemon.

Cristina: That's the next evolution. I mean, the next season or whatever.

Jack: There's a Pokemon. It's called, like, Mikey or something.

Cristina: No, it's not Mikey.

Jack: Yeah, man. There's totally a microphone Pokemon. Oh, my God. What is it? What the h*** is that thing? Is that a real Pokemon?

Cristina: I think that's fan. A fan art. Because there is a Pokemon that has different forms that looks like that, and that's what they're making fun of, I think.

Jack: Okay, fair enough.

Cristina: But we could double check. Look, his name is Rotom, the voice form. Okay, let's see what Rotom's different forms are, though. Okay, so he's Rotom.

Jack: Could be a frigerator, f****** lawnmower. Modem, a laundry. He could be a washing machine. He could be a grill. He could be a fridge, a freaking fan. And what the h*** is that other one?

Cristina: This one? This one. The original, I guess, is just, like, normal electricity. Yeah. And then he. Yeah, he turns into things that need electricity.

Jack: Bro, what the h*** is going on with Pokemon?

Cristina: Close enough. You're right. There's a microphone.

Jack: There totally isn't, but there should totally be a microphone.

Cristina: Look at him. He's a Pokedex.

Jack: Oh, my God.

Cristina: So there's fan art of, like, the many different things he could probably turn into. If you can be these things, there's probably a limited, unlimited possibility of what he could actually turn into.

Jack: Freaking Rotom.

Cristina: As long as they're electric. I mean, electronical, right? Yeah, like a computer.

Jack: That makes perfect sense. But it's like, why is this a freaking Pokemon? A blender. A toaster.

Cristina: I'm not sure what this one's supposed to be.

Jack: Where's the other one? Next to it.

Cristina: That one?

Jack: No, the one that's a toaster. What the h*** is that?

Cristina: No idea. Okay, so people are getting really creative of what this should look like. What?

Jack: Freaking Rotom, bro.

Cristina: Yes, I would like to see Quest Beast as a Pokemon.

Jack: That'd be cool. Questy. Questy Equestrian.

Cristina: Oh, that's a cool name.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it is a cool name.

Cristina: Well, that was awesome. And there's a lot of creatures in Ireland. Ridiculous. That place is popular.

Jack: Yes, but what has made me interested about everything you've talked about is really digging into a banshee. Yeah, like, at this point, we've become the new Sam and Dean. They're off air. They're. They're. They're living their lives. We still hunting? S***, they stopped. We're still going. We're still hunting.

Cristina: Yeah, they're the ones that taught us.

Jack: Yeah, except we have a freaking army of subhumans provided by the Chinese cloning program. Yeah, which is totally fine. Look, it's totally fine. Actually, it's not the cloning program. We're the clones. It's all the aborted babies.

Cristina: The aborted babies make the.

Jack: The subhumans.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Aborted babies equal an army of subhumans that are superior because they're genetically engineered and then turn into Superhumans that then we use to hunt these creat like the ones in Ireland. And now I am fascinated by a banshee.

Cristina: Except that these creatures have. Are really secretive and they can hide and stuff. And like, I don't know. Finding a banshee really hard.

Jack: I'll figure it out, okay? I will figure out finding a banshee.

Cristina: Well, that's gonna be fun.

Jack: It's gonna be astounding. I will find the banshee by any means necessary.

Cristina: All right?

Jack: I promise. That much.

Cristina: I can't wait.

Jack: Yes. It's gonna be exciting.

Cristina: Yes.

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

Jack: Kekken Apheos. Go on. Hang in hand.

Cristina: And that's what KEK is all about.

Jack: Chaos. Yeah. Embracing chaos. It's a natural part of everything. But so is order. And having order and reason and logic. In no moment does Kek's chaos interfere with Pastafarianism. Logic. The goal is be reasonable. Same thing with Kek. You control, but you don't hurt people.

Cristina: Because it's just a joke.

Jack: It's just a joke. If you're crossing the line, you're f****** up.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You're doing it wrong.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's not about hurting other people. It's about that balance of you can have fun. Some people are gonna get annoyed.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But they should know that they're getting annoyed at a joke.

Cristina: It's so weird how anything could have a religion. Thinking of Shaggy. Shaggy. The church of Shaggy.

Jack: Yeah. What happens with Shaggy is the idea that destruction is equal to creation. So not only do we maintain balance, but we need to understand that sometimes things. A good example is, as writers, we often have to get rid of something and destroy something because it's just not working out. It's the weak link in what we're trying to do. And sometimes you're attached to the idea, but the story isn't attached to the idea.

Cristina: I usually just remove them. I don't delete them or anything.

Jack: Well, you can remove them, put them somewhere else, but you're destroying the concept you were working with to change it for something else.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And that just goes hand in hand with. To maintain balance, you must destroy sometimes.

Cristina: That's an interesting way to see it. Yeah.

Jack: Shaggy is important.

Cristina: He is.

Jack: He's important in everything. You must destroy in order to create their hand in hand.
