Rambling 180: Original Hosts

Before the clones took over the show, why were the original hosts so valuable to the Illuminati? Does the portal in Cristy’s backyard have something to do with their disappearance or early demise? The duo investigates the original two hosts they were cloned from and questions why the events of the show have turned out as they have, ultimately landing them at a conclusion they’d never expected!

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: This is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. Like that subtle shift of this introduction.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: Whoa. Did we. I said that last episode, right? I wanted this changed.

Cristina: You did?

Jack: I think so.

Cristina: It's weird without childish ways or whatever.

Jack: And now we're grown ups. Now we're adults.

Cristina: When do we grow up? We started six years old now.

Jack: What? Yeah.

Cristina: We're clones or something, right? We're less than six.

Jack: Well, yeah. We're less than six because of two things.

Cristina: Because.

Jack: We were cloned somewhere in, like, season three or late two. So we would at least be, like a year and a half younger than the show.

Cristina: Whoa. Yeah, we're really young. So how old do you think how.

Jack: Old we would be? Like four and a half.

Cristina: Oh, wow.

Jack: Yep. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy, right?

Cristina: That is crazy. Except for you're not the same person that was a ghost robot.

Jack: I. Look.

Cristina: How old do you think that person was?

Jack: He was 64 years.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: As a old man and then 64 years as a ghost. No, it was. What? It was some s*** like that, right? It was 64 years. We've had this conversation before. Trying to recall this old man. That was me, right?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: I'm cloned from some weird mythical. Isn't that weird? I'm cloned from some weird mythical creature that, for whatever reason, we haven't gone to hunt yet.

Cristina: We should. Because he knows something about the future that we're trying to solve at the moment.

Jack: Is that the same one that does know about the future?

Cristina: I think so.

Jack: There's too many.

Cristina: I think he's the same dude.

Jack: Word. Because I get that time travel has a lot of problems.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But, like, when you really think about it, if you're not keeping active track of clones, then you can never really know which one's the real one and which, like, who did what at any given moment. Because everything about them is identical.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: They're as identical as two people can be. More identical than twins. They're literally the same person.

Cristina: Yes, but you wouldn't. I mean, you, though, would know. Maybe if you don't have those memories, you know, at least that wasn't you.

Jack: No, you. Yeah. You would know. I guess. I suppose. But, like, if I am telling you the investigator. No, I remember. I wasn't there. But then he's also saying the same thing.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Who you gonna believe?

Cristina: I don't know. Yeah. If it has to be one of you guys.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Lie detector. Then again, it could be a third clone, I guess. I don't know.

Jack: Interesting. No lie detector breaks that.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah, if it works the way we're told it works. A lie detector should in theory just be able to prove it. Okay, like f*** your everything is the same. One of you is lying. Like factually on paper.

Cristina: It's not you. As far as we know, you're not the person time traveling.

Jack: But I'm cloned from that guy. Yes, but some. How the f*** did they make me different? How does cloning work in our f****** universe? You know, because why am I not also just him? Why am I me?

Cristina: How? You're not very different from him. Do you mean like younger?

Jack: No, like why am I not over here time traveling and like changing the world too?

Cristina: Well, you're not there yet, maybe.

Jack: No, I'm cloned from that guy. He didn't show up from the future? No, he was just.

Cristina: He was just doing it.

Jack: I literally have those memories type of s***.

Cristina: You have those memories like.

Jack: Of course I would. I was cloned after that.

Cristina: Oh, okay. But then how do you know that's not you?

Jack: Well, somehow, provably, I'm a clone of that guy, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Then at that point still, why am I not behaving like him? Because I'm still. I still have those emotions and thoughts, right? What's the difference?

Cristina: What if he figured something out? Something after I was cloned from him? No. I guess. Then you should know. Then you should know what happened. Why he was doing all those things.

Jack: I should. Right? That's a huge plot hole.

Cristina: That's huge plot hole. Because at one moment he was trying to give everyone hiv and the other he's trying to.

Jack: No, he wasn't in. Oh yeah, he was.

Cristina: Those are two different versions of him. But he is the same dude.

Jack: And it wasn't hiv, it was AIDS candy.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: In a van with the sign AIDS candy written on the side. And he was. This is in the 80s and he was giving. He was only in predominantly black neighborhoods.

Cristina: Isn't this. That's the 80s. But also his explanation of 9, 11.

Jack: Really? I feel I sort of remember that. What do you mean?

Cristina: Yes, because I remember I wasn't there because I wasn't alive or the real me wasn't alive because she was like 11 or 12.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you were 16.

Cristina: Oh, 16.

Jack: So none of this had happened so far. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have no memory of something that you weren't alive for. So you've never heard of 9 11, which I had to tell you about.

Cristina: Yes. That version of you was telling me about. I think it was that version of you, I guess.

Jack: Was I cloned from directly from that guy or from the dude who followed him?

Cristina: Oh, yes. Here. Yes. I don't know.

Jack: Or are we all cloned from the same one guy? Because they have the DNA. It's not like we're a clone of a clone.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Except there is a clone of a clone out there and he's the slow one.

Cristina: Yes, He's a slow one.

Jack: He's the one with the one arm, right?

Cristina: Yes. He's an old white dude with a robot arm or something.

Jack: Like one eye and one eye. Yep. Dude. Okay. When we did see this billboard with that guy on it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Right.

Cristina: You know, he's a model now. Good. He's not killing. He's gonna kill you. He really believed he killed you.

Jack: He really had an eye patch?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And a robot arm?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: What was he doing? What? Like, let's. Let's.

Cristina: What was he doing?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: He was probably born like that. He was just born. Defected.

Jack: Whoa.

Cristina: Yeah. He killed germs thinking it was you. And then he became a model. That makes sense, man.

Jack: That was an astounding moment of like. Whoa. We really. We caught you, dude.

Cristina: We caught him. Yep.

Jack: But he's easy to catch because he's super slow.

Cristina: And also he's got one arm and one eye.

Jack: One arm and one eye? Yeah. He's not like, real useful anything.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Whoa.

Cristina: That's crazy. He's a model.

Jack: I mean, disabled people need models, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's real. That's fair. Disabled people do need models. You got a. What is it? Everybody wants to see themselves represented in something, I guess.

Cristina: But why is he so old?

Jack: What? Old people can't get support?

Cristina: No. Like, how is this clone version of you old? But you're young. I know. The original was old. And all the ones that came after him were younger. Except for the one that was disabled. The clone of clone was old again. Or is that part of it going wrong? Because he's a clone of clone. He was the same age, probably of the guy. The original you.

Jack: Well, no, here's a real interesting question. This is truly. Because. Okay, so we're patching plot holes right now.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That's a real good question as to. But it was never established that I was young. I suppose.

Cristina: I guess you could still Be old.

Jack: Except no, because our images have me being all young, so I'm visibly. There's at least suggestion that I'm young.

Cristina: Well, you could also be doing what all the Internet people do. Have a fake representation of yourself. Nah, nah, nah. That's you.

Jack: But the question is, how'd that happen?

Cristina: How that happened?

Jack: How do we patch that hole?

Cristina: I think him being the broken one is a good reason.

Jack: No, not why. Not him. Why am I young?

Cristina: Because they want younger versions of us.

Jack: Okay.

Cristina: Would they want older version of you? Our bosses?

Jack: So that's also to say that I've been with the Illuminati straight through. Having been whatever I was.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Then a ghost. Then a ghost robot. I'm just some wonder. Or that original guy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So you'd been working with the Illuminati for a long time. Trusted. That's why we're high ranking. You know, we've been involved.

Cristina: We didn't earn this. Our other version.

Jack: But you're actually 16.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: You're just cloned out of a 16 year old.

Cristina: So.

Jack: Yes, well, we got to figure that out. But guess I guess his background, right? We're finding out like some origin story.

Cristina: Yes, yes, but.

Jack: So I'm cloned from a clone. Not cloned from a clone, but I'm cloned from a guy with two other clones. One from a different timeline. And we come from that first clone. No, because we're all clone. No, we might be cloned from the same one clone.

Cristina: No, no.

Jack: It's just stored DNA. Right. All the clones. Okay, back to point A. I'm cloned from a guy with three other clones.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Four clones total. Plus the guy. The guy himself has been an Illuminati.

Cristina: Employee for many, many, many, many years.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Could be hundreds of afterlife.

Jack: Yeah, it could be. Well known. Yeah, for sure. But together, all of it is over a hundred years. Could be several hundred years. Who knows? So he's ranking and then he. He turns on them. Yes, but he doesn't get killed. The first clone does.

Cristina: He doesn't get killed.

Jack: Or he did. It was. It was just in the middle of an episode.

Cristina: Yeah, it was the middle episode. It was just a random episode.

Jack: Yeah, they straight up, just like people walked in, popped them and.

Cristina: How do you even pop a ghost.

Jack: At the power of the Illuminati.

Cristina: Maybe they just don't trust technology anymore. They're like, nah, Interesting. We got something better.

Jack: Then the clone is. Who's using a time machine. The first clone.

Jack: Right. Patching those holes. You see I guess. Hella plot holes. S*** we've never thought about it could be.

Cristina: Okay, so there's a clone that was using the time machine to save the world.

Jack: Allegedly.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's the same one that dropped nukes on the cockroach people.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So like.

Cristina: Well, he thought the cockroach people were a danger to us too.

Jack: Basically. You're telling me he's the brotherhood from Fallout?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: He's like, I'm gonna save the world by killing everything that's not human. Even if it's sentient and not harmful. Just if it's not human. Killing it.

Cristina: But that wasn't you. Because you married the cockroach wife. You have the cockroach wife. That's you. You.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Unless you and these clones are all alive. I mean, you are all alive.

Jack: Some of us, I think. There's only one dead, Apparently. We're really hard to kill.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which then brings up the other question of if this creature that was me originally happened to be whatever he was. And then a ghost and then robot ghost.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: How did they just off him? Is he just still around and simply not hosting the show? And we never. We were never told he was dead. It was just in the middle of an episode. We were just there. Now we're finishing the conversation.

Cristina: Maybe he's in retirement. I guess that's a possibility. They just needed to.

Jack: Or he dipped.

Cristina: He dipped?

Jack: Yeah. He just left. They're chasing him. They're hunting him. What if. What if we can put a request and our job is to hunt that thing.

Cristina: You.

Jack: Me?

Cristina: Why?

Jack: The original me? To find out what the this origin story is.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Oh.

Cristina: What you really are or what he really is?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Because you're still human. I'm still human? Well, you're not human, but.

Jack: Yeah, like I am human.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I'm just a clone of a human. But that doesn't stop me from being human.

Cristina: But if he's not human, then what.

Jack: Does that mean Exactly. If he's not human. What's going on? But okay. High ranking cloned. Yeah, sure.

Cristina: That's the 16 year old girl. Psychic sidekick.

Jack: Yes. Now how the h*** did this happen? So some 16 year old girl who somehow isn't just an employee in the Illuminati, but a particularly high ranking employee in the milane. In the Illuminati?

Cristina: Yes. They don't have a problem with working with children.

Jack: Right. But what did your original person, I guess you were the prodigy of this.

Cristina: Whatever, find out that he's her father? Oh my God.

Jack: That's Crazy, Right? Because it's basically. He was training the little girl. Right. Because little girl, you.

Cristina: Yes, he was educating me.

Jack: Yeah. Thus you were also talking s*** at the time that you were both off.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Or you both dipped.

Cristina: Yes. Oh my gosh.

Jack: They could still be out there. Bonnie. Bonnie and Clyding. S***.

Cristina: Okay, well, I hope they don't have a romantic relationship because that's very disturbing.

Jack: Yes. What is it? A 200 year old thing?

Cristina: Thing.

Jack: And a 16 year old human.

Cristina: Oh my gosh. It's Twilight. Except without the vampires.

Jack: Whoa. It is Twilight. Because Twilight was high school.

Cristina: Yeah, but he's like, how old?

Jack: And she was like not even a senior. Right?

Cristina: Yeah. So, yeah, she was like 16, maybe.

Jack: Whoa, dude.

Cristina: Stern.

Jack: Oh, s***. I guess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's extra romantic. According to teenage, like tweens. Yeah, according to tweens. That's very romantic.

Cristina: Very.

Jack: But it's because all tweens are like emo girls.

Cristina: Emo girls. That means they're into very old men pretending to be young. I don't know. I don't know, sister.

Jack: I bet. That's the thing. I bet somewhere there's a girl who's.

Cristina: Like 15 dating a 30 year old.

Jack: Dating like a. Like a 50 year old, but he's gothed out and she's like, he's so cool.

Cristina: Actually, I think I have.

Jack: Cool. He is.

Cristina: There has been a show, one of those True Life episodes. Or there. You know, they're the random episodes about random things. I don't know if you remember that show. Is it mtv?

Jack: Yeah. Like My Strange Addiction or something.

Cristina: Yes, yes. Well, in my True Life, there was one episode of young people dating older people and there was a girl who was dating older men, and those older men just happened to be very thin, white, goth men. She had a type.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, no, that. I swear, that's. That fits. It feels right.

Cristina: It feels like maybe 18. So it wasn't like that inappropriate. But of course her parents were disapproval of it because she's still living with them and they're like 30 or 40 year old. The guys she's into.

Jack: Yeah. So she. She's into that Dracula feel.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Of like. Oh, he's this older hypnotic vampire guy.

Cristina: Yeah. And he's just some, I don't know, hobo guy who plays video games all day and has a rock band. He's part of a rock band. He has to be.

Jack: Yeah, I guess so.

Cristina: That's the most important part. If he's not in a rock band, what's the point?

Jack: Wait so what the f*** is. So what is the lesson that this dude was teaching you? Right.

Cristina: Oh, yes. I don't know.

Jack: He was mentoring. Maybe he was showing you the ropes.

Cristina: Then what would be the point of running away if.

Jack: No, because they're both talking s***. They're gonna be kick killed or whatever. Maybe that's why we're told they're killed. They're not.

Jack: Maybe that's above our pay grade.

Cristina: Yeah. So maybe they're still part of the Illuminati.

Jack: Like, they went into super Illuminati, like, super duper secret world.

Cristina: We know there's a world outside our world that we can't talk about.

Jack: Oh, you think they went to the other side?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Of the wall?

Cristina: Yes. And we can't talk about that.

Jack: So why can't we talk about that?

Cristina: I thought you said we couldn't.

Jack: Oh, we can't say anything about what? Well, yeah.

Cristina: Didn't you say that? I feel like you said that in that episode we couldn't talk about it. Or did you say we just. I don't remember what you said. I feel like you said we couldn't.

Jack: What, like, ever mention it? No. We had a whole episode about the penguins.

Cristina: Yeah. Oh. I guess we couldn't talk about it as a topic because that's not. That's not really.

Jack: Oh, yeah.

Cristina: Our thing.

Jack: Yeah. We're not allowed. We're not really allowed.

Cristina: Yeah. Like, the people here should know about the stuff here that's happening.

Jack: Yeah. That's what's important. What's happening in this side of things. Anything outside is really not of our business.

Cristina: Exactly. So if they're over there, we can't really say. Even if we found out, could we find out? If we did find out, we could still mention that, right?

Jack: I guess. So if they go up the ranks and are in some super duper secret Illuminati thing, cool. But if they didn't, where was the vat? Why was it more valuable to try to catch them or kill them or whatever made them run away or whatever, if they did get killed? So. Okay, what, What, What's. Why. Why is it way more valuable than just scolding them for talking s***, I.

Cristina: Don'T know, and then cloning them? Because, like, wouldn't you fear that they do the same thing?

Jack: Interesting. But they can mess with genes, try to f*** with how we'll turn out to some degree.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Which could then explain why I'm not exactly that same person.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: They made sure.

Cristina: Yes. They made sure you weren't. But why is that important?

Jack: But why is that important? Yes, but also the same for you.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So. Okay. Okay, we're getting somewhere. We're doing just as we said. We're grounding humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. That's what we do.

Cristina: This is pretty baffling.

Jack: It's pretty baffling and pretty absurd.

Cristina: Very absurd.

Jack: It's mainly just ideas.

Cristina: Yeah. So. But I don't know.

Jack: Yeah. 16 year old girl, nearly 200 year old ghost robot N***. He was a N*** for 64 years.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yes. He was in N*** Germany when. Yeah, no, I remember that. He was in N*** Germany for 64 years, then went to America, something happened and he died. And he was a ghost for 64 years. And then got.

Cristina: Then was the drugs in New York or whatever that was.

Jack: As a ghost.

Cristina: As a ghost. Oh my gosh. So weird. A ghost technology to turn him into a robot.

Jack: Yeah. To the maybe the robot tech is ghost tech too. But it's still robot tech. So I could just throw some, slap some skin on there and I look human. So he was looking like a normal person.

Cristina: That is weird.

Jack: Even if he was a ghost. But he was also a robot. You could do a lot with a robot.

Cristina: Yeah. I'm guessing the girl didn't know him as a ghost. Right. Because he would have been a ghost robot by the time she met him, I think.

Jack: Yes. She only knows the robot. Okay, so there was a robot here. Interesting. Unless they brought him back. How did they. How did they get the DNA? Unless they got the DNA. Oh s***. That's why I don't have any of those memories.

Cristina: The ghost robot memories.

Jack: Ghost robot memories.

Cristina: But you have the memories of being a N*** Germany?

Jack: No, I just remembered that that was part of the narrative.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: But the reason is because I'm a clone of from whenever he was the age that I am. That's when they took the sample they used to clone the new clones. His prime. I'm an ex. I look the way he did when he was most valuable.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So what should I be able to do that is now a danger that he's mastered it and the girl that you're cloned from mastered it quickly.

Cristina: I don't understand. You're saying they had like special powers or something?

Jack: Power, information, Something became a danger. That is reason that they were being praised for in the first place.

Cristina: Wish we knew. Because I don't remember.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Shouldn't we have these memories? I feel like I have a lot of memories, but I don't have every Memory?

Jack: No. Because. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? We should have memories of before.

Cristina: We have some, but we don't have them all.

Jack: Like which ones?

Cristina: I don't know. Like being raised as a child.

Jack: Fair. Interesting.

Cristina: I don't remember any of the Illuminati work. Besides the podcast.

Jack: Interesting. Interesting. Besides a podcast and all the missions following it.

Cristina: Yeah, I guess. Okay. Maybe I do have all my memories. Do I? I don't know. It's hard to tell. How do you know?

Jack: I don't remember.

Cristina: You don't remember being in N*** Germany? No, that was the thing. You were there for 60, whatever, years.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: But you don't have those memories, so.

Jack: Maybe they worked on our memories. Right, because they can work on our genes. They could do whatever they want.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: And take away the things that made us who they didn't. Like when they cloned us.

Cristina: Something feels wrong about it. I don't think they got rid of us. Because I do remember that before my other version disappeared, I was living with that version of me.

Jack: Oh, interesting.

Cristina: Like, why would they be okay with that?

Jack: Right? Because you weren't cloned afterwards.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Oh, s***. Neither was I. I was working in the facility.

Cristina: What? Oh, yes. But you weren't living with you?

Jack: Yeah, I wasn't even living, like, a life. I was in here, waiting. Oh, no. I was literally just living a normal life. Right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Then working for the Illuminati. Paperwork style. Then they're like, you got to replace this guy.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah. You were living your own life.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: That's even more questions.

Jack: Okay, yeah, so they were definitely. I. Oh, I remember what our purpose of being cloned for was. Where'd the organs? Oh, that's why we do know they're dead. They have to be, right? Or they ran away because now we're.

Cristina: The valuable ones, but we were supposed to just be organs.

Jack: Organs.

Cristina: Then why is there so many clones of you? That doesn't make sense.

Jack: S***. We kept going rogue even after they'd f***** with the DNA, keep in mind. No, but. No, no, it doesn't even matter, because we were all cloned around the same time.

Cristina: Mm. So why would they need multiple clones of you and you?

Jack: Well, they all started talking s*** at some point.

Jack: Or went rogue. Somehow, something is wrong with the genetic pool. That interesting, because it's happening to both of our clones.

Cristina: What? We are the clones.

Jack: Yeah, both you and I. We're the only ones who seem to have not gone rogue in a significantly long time.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: All the other ones, there was a lot of bugs. In there. That's interesting. So there are many defects in a lot of the clones.

Cristina: I don't think there's other clones of me. I think I'm the only one left. Only one?

Jack: No, there was a second set of clones that was talking s***. Got killed. You're number three.

Cristina: I'm number three? Yeah. I don't remember that. Yeah.

Jack: It was just a day that an episode in which the two clones again somehow ended up talking s*** in the following episode. It was just another set of clones.

Cristina: Oh, wouldn't that be number two?

Jack: Yeah. Third from the original.

Cristina: Oh, okay. What?

Jack: Yeah. Is that like another plot hole?

Cristina: I think so. How so? We're just getting killed off or we're not getting killed off? What is happening when?

Jack: I don't know. But hold that thought. When original Yu leaves that you were living with, you're not the same one that immediately got called in to work the show.

Cristina: Well, I don't know. What if that Mii had the same memories as this Mii? What if I didn't live with her? Maybe those were memories of the other clone.

Jack: Then you'd be cloned from the clone.

Cristina: Or like, we're very similar. I don't know if I'm clone of the clone because that seems to go wr. I do have. I might have her memories instead of the original one's memories.

Jack: No, because they didn't keep taking new samples.

Cristina: Because I remember living with her.

Jack: So that's what I mean. So you weren't the one originally called into the show after she disappeared.

Cristina: But didn't she also say she was living with her?

Jack: Yes, she the original, and you the clone. So when she disappears, a different clone that isn't you is doing the show. That's the one that talked s***. That clone was removed.

Cristina: But that clone did not say that she was living.

Jack: No, that clone never said that.

Cristina: Okay. That's what I'm asking.

Jack: Oh, that's the she you were referring to?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: I thought by she you meant the original.

Cristina: No, I meant the other clone. Did she ever say that? And you said no?

Jack: Yeah, I think not.

Cristina: Okay. Because if she did say that, then what does that mean?

Jack: You're a clone of a clone.

Cristina: A clone of a clone. Except I didn't go wrong.

Jack: Exactly.

Jack: You're a clone of a clone, but you did not go wrong.

Cristina: Not like you're a virgin. That's beautiful.

Jack: There's something absolutely wrong with. But there's a lot of memes out there.

Cristina: Are they out there? Are they all dead?

Jack: No, there's A couple still wandering out there. The question is, is he original? And if so, can.

Cristina: Can we find him?

Jack: We find that thing and. Why is this girl important?

Cristina: You think she's important?

Jack: I don't know. Why was it important to kill her, too?

Cristina: I know.

Jack: Run her off too.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Or fire her, whatever happened.

Cristina: Whatever happened. Yeah. I don't know. You gotta hear the episodes where they disappeared on.

Jack: Interesting. We're gonna investigate our own show. That's the only way to figure it out, man.

Cristina: Yes. How many shows are there? Two million.

Jack: Two million? I think like two seasons.

Cristina: Two seasons?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: What does that even mean? 200.

Jack: That's 50. Two times two is 104.

Cristina: I feel like there's way more episodes than that.

Jack: No, 104 is all the clones. Oh, like before us.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Two seasons.

Jack: Two seasons.

Cristina: There's gotta be more. Are you sure?

Jack: Yeah. No, that's it.

Cristina: That's it.

Jack: Yeah. 52 weeks. What? That's it. An episode per week. And actually not even 52 weeks because the last week of every month we had off.

Cristina: Mmm. Okay.

Jack: Boom.

Cristina: I think we can do it.

Jack: It's still like 80 episodes.

Cristina: That's a lot. We could do it. We gotta. Yeah.

Jack: At least. It's only 80 hours.

Cristina: There's so much questions and there's gotta be answers.

Jack: There's gotta be answers. Look, as far as we know, by the way, this is all just happening. Still. Still. While we're waiting on Steve. But interesting enough, we've come up with something to do.

Cristina: Yes. Well, we'll probably figure it out the next Groundhog Day. Who knows? When's that? February. We gotta wait again. It's gonna take him a year for Steve. Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. But we, on the other hand, have tasks now. We have duties that we can. Something. Investigate while he's doing that.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which is finding the answers to these questions.

Cristina: The mystery where you went, or if you're dead.

Jack: I guess first would be confirming whether I'm dead or not. And then if alive or dead, where. Where did. Did the originator go?

Cristina: I'm assuming. Wait, do we have the time machine?

Jack: We do.

Cristina: We could use it to go backwards to find him.

Jack: No, no, you can use it.

Cristina: You can't come with me, even though you're not him.

Jack: No. Time travel is just real annoying. I'm less interested in doing and finding the answers to these questions than I am absolutely avoiding time travel. So it's like I definitely will avoid time travel more than I give a s*** for that.

Cristina: Okay, then let's not do that.

Jack: Yes. The time machine. Bad news, man.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Interesting toy.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Totally not worth it.

Cristina: Not worth it. Nah. Let's mess up our lives.

Jack: Yeah. It's not even messing up our lives. Because if the point is investigating and we change anything and all the rules of the investigation suddenly changed and we're back to square one. Yeah, that sucks. Totally not worth it. There's nothing we could do because everything is a new interaction. Because we have. We're totally out of place. Everything we do changes everything. By default, anything we're trying to accomplish is going to be altered, and we're back to the beginning of that. But then in the process of trying to get back on track with that will change something else, which then will change infinitely. Looping back.

Cristina: Yes. Does not do that.

Jack: Yeah, nothing we could do about it. The time machine sucks.

Cristina: But there has to be some other way to find this.

Jack: We just have to find them. But where would they hide?

Cristina: Who hide?

Jack: The originals. If they're not. If they are alive. Right. We do investigate this. We do find that they've not been killed. They're not working for the Illuminati. Where did they go? Where would they hide? The best bet would be to find people who knew them, who knew them personally.

Cristina: Okay. So there's at least three people. There might be more people. But there's Dave, the clone who died.

Jack: Yes, but he would have no memory either, because he is now a clone of a clone. The clone? No, the clone who was. Because he was a clone. At least when we met him. And he was then killed off. And a different clone took his place.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So he's also had that scraped.

Cristina: So he can't help us.

Jack: He's useless. Then there's Ish, who's also been killed off.

Cristina: Yes. Well, we don't know if he's the real him or the clone him.

Jack: We know someone did off. But then the interesting thing about him is that him and his clone were so closely related that minus the memories of that version of Jack.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: He wouldn't, like, really tell. You couldn't tell which one was the original. Because they would have. They were. You know, it was like you got cloned. You were. You. You were only around a month before one of you killed the other.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: There's not really a lot of memories you made that would distinguish who you are. And then they already scraped the memories off of one, so I guess that's a gamble. That's a 50. 50. He could be like, what?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: This is the only version of you I've ever Known, Huh?

Cristina: I feel like he would say that. Oh, no. He might be the clone. Okay, then there's Jomar. No, no. Is that the right person? No, that was the guy. He's dead. I don't know.

Jack: Yeah, he's just dipped.

Cristina: He dipped before any of this happened.

Jack: Yes, yes, yes. That's just a guy.

Cristina: Yes, that's just a guy. Germs. There you go.

Jack: Germs. Well, that's a whole other problem. Because germs did get killed. But he didn't get cloned. He didn't work for the Illuminati. His ghost got trapped in.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: In the systems. He couldn't theory be listening right now.

Cristina: Oh, I forgot about that. He was just a ghost in here because you killed him. Well, a version of you.

Jack: Yeah. So first we got to get in contact with him and then maybe ask if he has any memory of that or if he just knows some version of the clone.

Cristina: Yes. Crap. So he's not helpful either. And I think that's it. I don't know. Is there anyone else? I don't think so. I can't remember.

Jack: Yeah, I don't know. We have to open quite the severe investigation if we want to just simply. Just to find out who knows these people well.

Cristina: And I don't know any of those people.

Jack: It's. It's pretty hard. It's interesting. Why was the Illuminati so set on getting rid of even the people, bro? Okay, let's be real.

Cristina: Except they weren't planning on germs dying. That was an accident.

Jack: Because I was the clone. That was the dumb clone.

Cristina: Yeah. I was trying to kill you.

Jack: Trying to kill me? Yeah. That was just like. He wasn't an employee or anything. That was some crazy s*** that happened one time.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You know, just.

Cristina: Just some s*** that happened to get rid of Ish.

Jack: Why we're trying to get rid of. Well, we know Ish has master level hacking abilities.

Cristina: That is true.

Jack: Where'd he get that? He's clearly an employee.

Cristina: Huh?

Jack: And he got cloned. No s***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. He's an. Wow. We never thought about that.

Cristina: He was an employee the whole time. He was an employee. We didn't even know.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Oh, man. He's a secret agent.

Jack: He's a super secret agent. Whoa.

Cristina: Well, he got his fool. What? What if he was betraying us the whole time? Who knows, dude?

Jack: He got to play with the portal and everything.

Cristina: He did. Oh my gosh. What if this portal has something to do with it? No, but Dave never did. You talk To Dave about the portal.

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: He might know about the portal.

Jack: He might. He might have been the first person to f*** with the portal.

Cristina: But he didn't actually do anything like us, because we're not like Ish, who was like, I'm gonna go.

Jack: He experimented like the rest of us.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Ish just hopped straight in. You know, unless Ish is also impulsive enough to use a time machine, so already knew that nothing would go wrong.

Cristina: Interesting thing is that kind of secret. Like he's.

Jack: Dude, he flat out hacked a robot from his cell phone. That doesn't even sound possible.

Cristina: Well, you guys were in a hacking contest also to see who the best hacker was. So I don't know. When did you get hacking skills?

Jack: Yeah, but. Okay, fair enough. So he's a super elite agent as well? Is everybody? For the Illuminati super elite.

Cristina: But he's even more secret than us.

Jack: Well, our whole point is being public.

Cristina: That's true. That's true.

Jack: We just talk about it. We gotta inform people. But he doesn't have to inform anybody of s***.

Cristina: No, he's really.

Jack: He's working.

Cristina: How do we know he didn't kill us?

Jack: Dude, he floats in totally seeming like some rando.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: And like, could have totally.

Cristina: We've been betrayed.

Jack: Could have totally.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: You think this is a mole? Yes, there's a mole amongst us.

Cristina: We need to question him. He might know something.

Jack: It's interesting. It really looks like he was just interested in very specific things. Like there'd be no benefit for him to kill. It was just. We get really high priority cases and some of them might seem interesting to other agents, right?

Cristina: I think so.

Jack: So maybe even if he's not solving the case or partaking in it, he just, like, you know, I heard about the thing. I want to go check it out.

Cristina: There's something there. I think he might know something.

Jack: He's involved.

Cristina: He's involved. He was the reason we attacked Mars to begin with.

Jack: He was. Therefore. I don't remember exactly how that played out, but he was there.

Cristina: He was there.

Jack: He was there when that happened. He was there when the cockroach people were destroyed on Mars.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And we destroyed our home. Mars.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He was there when he's. He had his own clone. We never questioned it.

Cristina: Well, we saw him fight him. Yes. We don't know why he had a clone, but yes, he did.

Jack: Now we know. He's probably an agent.

Cristina: Yeah. He played with the portal.

Jack: He played with the Portal. He has tremendously Overpowered hacking ability.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And. And that hacking display actually took place in an alternate timeline where there was a robot apocalypse happening.

Cristina: I don't know if that was the alternate timeline. I think there's just a apocalypse happening where we. Where the army was.

Jack: Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We went to. Yeah, yeah. This is actually. Oh, s***. That's probably still happening in some random, like, dirt country, one of those countries that Trump hates. What he calls them dirt countries. Right. Some s*** like that. Just real douchebag name. But one of those dirt countries, this.

Cristina: Robot war, was because Obama started Skynet.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're totally right. I remember that.

Cristina: That really happened.

Jack: So that's like, still. That could still be happening. Like, we could still go have casual hacking competitions with the robots that are murdering a bunch of civilians in some Middle Eastern country.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Cristina: I don't know how he got there. I think you sent him there. I don't remember.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cristina: To prove his hacking skills.

Jack: To prove his hacking skills. Yes. Interesting, interesting. And then he was truly astounding. So that's. That's actually a real interesting thing that happened once.

Cristina: I think he has answers.

Jack: You think he has answers? So we need to get him in here and question him.

Cristina: I wonder if Satan is involved because of all the times he's been to h***.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Like.

Jack: Like, is he an informant for the devil?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: This is like some type of s***.

Cristina: Yes. Oh, yes.

Jack: Interesting, interesting.

Jack: So. Ish. Might have something to do with it. Or at least know something.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Also, how does any of this relate to any of our bigger issues?

Cristina: I don't know. You know our bigger issues?

Jack: We had a bunch of cases before. There were barely any cases. It was just reporting on normal s***. But slowly but surely, things started to lose control, and now there's a bunch of crazy s*** to report on. All following their disappearance, I think.

Cristina: Wait, who's the disappearance?

Jack: The originals.

Cristina: Huh?

Jack: Originals disappear.

Cristina: I think the portal is the beginning of everything, though. I don't think it's them disappearing. I think it was the portal and they just happened to disappear. But that might also be part of the mystery. But I think the beginning point of all the weirdness is the portal.

Jack: Okay. Crazy, crazy idea. That happened in the same episode.

Cristina: What?

Jack: The portal happened the same episode that they went missing.

Cristina: I don't know about that. We have to see that. I don't know if that's true. But that would be crazy if that's true. No way.

Jack: Yeah. So there's something happening with the portal. If that's the case. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure it was the Thanksgiving episode.

Cristina: But they didn't go through the portal. No, they just found it.

Jack: They just found the portal.

Cristina: And it's still in my backyard because we can't really touch it.

Jack: We just go through it and end up somewhere else. If we try to touch it.

Cristina: Yeah, it's just there.

Jack: Universe 3.

Cristina: So what could have happened? What?

Jack: What do you see? This is crazy. Interesting.

Cristina: Maybe it's not at the Illuminati sun. Maybe something is protecting the portal.

Jack: No, because Ish was fine.

Cristina: How was he fine?

Jack: Nothing happened to Ish f****** with that portal.

Cristina: No, but he died afterwards.

Jack: He only died. Killed himself. He wasn't killed by anybody but him.

Cristina: Okay, okay.

Jack: There was no beef with the Illuminati. And Ish. It was just like there was too much Ish for Ish.

Cristina: That is true. Okay, never mind. Because everyone else died and he died totally different.

Jack: Totally different circumstance. Death is a fact of the matter. Everybody else died and the portal.

Cristina: Everyone knew about it.

Jack: Everybody knew about it.

Cristina: Except for germs, I guess. But he also died randomly by accident.

Jack: I think he did play with the portal.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah. But his death was also unrelated. F****** with the portal does not equate to death. No, no, no, no. But something about the portal might equate to the absence of whether it be.

Cristina: Dead or missing or running away.

Jack: Promoted. Oh, you found the portal here. Promotions.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Interesting. So it could be any number of things, but those two things might be our first, most important connection. The appearance of the portal leading to the disappearance of the original two.

Cristina: I think so. I think the portal is way more important than we think. I don't know how it's somehow going to lead to adrenochrome. I don't know every.

Jack: Oh, God, I forgot all about it. I had peace. I had peace of mind for who knows how long. And then you just reminded me that ultimately everything we're doing is some sort of investigation about adrenochrome. Because that predates our biggest problem.

Cristina: Yep. And that's where everything comes from.

Jack: Yes. Actually, not even. Because we. It gets more abstract. We go far back. And if we end up at just fear, which is what's in adrenochrome in the first place. So something about fear. But then who feeds on fear? Shadow Realm. Okay, so now we're back to the Shadow Realm.

Cristina: Does the portal relate to the Shadow Realm? And how.

Jack: And how? Because the portal goes to Universe Three.

Cristina: Three? Yes. And the other portal? One to One. So what does any of this have to do with the other universe? Another world?

Jack: Okay, okay, okay. Before we run out of time, what are our big issues? Our real big issues? Steve is training to talk to the cloud people.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So they can talk to their leader or their big, powerful thing. God. That thing is gonna communicate with gas giants and stars in order to help us combat our mutual enemy, which is the cat people that are in the great void putting Dyson spheres around stars.

Cristina: That somehow a version of you knew about.

Jack: That somehow a version of me knew about and actively went out of their way to stop. On top of the fact that is that the only beef we have with the cat people. Because they're kind of always hiding. We're just seeking them out.

Cristina: Ultimately, if they have something to do with this, they would.

Jack: Well, that's. Well, first. That's. That's our first path of things.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The question follows, is any of that related to my original? Like the host, the original Jack.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And the original Christie.

Cristina: Disappearing.

Jack: Disappearing. Or whatever happened. So something happened to them. Question mark on that. We don't know what happened.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: We're here now. We know that.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Is whatever happened to them related to whatever. This problem we're having now with the cat people is because that's also directly connected to the first clone that's related to the. All right, this could all just be a problem. All of that could be a problem of the first clone.

Cristina: Not the first Jack. Just the first.

Jack: Not the first Jack. Just the first clone.

Cristina: Okay. That's true. Okay.

Jack: The cockroach people might actually be associated to the first, not even clone. The original might be associated to the original Jack.

Cristina: But what do they have to do with anything?

Jack: What do you mean?

Cristina: Like, how are they important?

Jack: The cockroach people?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because that's a connection that Ish and Jack have.

Cristina: Oh. Okay.

Jack: If Ish is related to, then whatever Ish had to do with the cockroach people is the same thing that got Ish connected to the portal. The portal goes to Universe Three, but the portal doesn't necessarily seem to be anything related to any of the other clones. The only two real powerful connections. Because all the other clones interacted with it simply because they were sitting in the same chair and they had the same job. I do.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That's your only connection to that portal. So they go and investigate a portal relative to that.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Anybody who didn't have that particular job and got around that portal problem. Because there is no reason they should have gotten around that portal. They found a Way there with us. They found ways to tag along with us to get to the portal. Yes, those are people worth suspicion. Those people are somehow connected to whatever happened to the original Jack and Kristen.

Cristina: But they can't help us.

Jack: Well, the only person we know in that scenario that connects to that specific thing is Ish. And that's still a 5050 toss up. Because the one who could know might have killed. Might have been killed. We don't know.

Cristina: We don't know. We gotta investigate him.

Jack: Yes. 5050 toss up.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So if we lost that connection. We have no other person we know that knows of the portal interacted with the portal knows. And it happened with the original Jack and Chrissy.

Cristina: He knows things.

Jack: Unless that's not him.

Cristina: Unless that's not him.

Jack: In which case unrelated. Yes, but then we still don't know. And we have way less Rhodes there.

Cristina: But we gotta investigate that. So whatever. We have to talk to him.

Jack: Yeah, we gotta find out. We definitely gotta try our best to get that information.

Cristina: Yes. So those are two things. That's it.

Jack: Well, what are again? It's what are our big problems? So we have the cat people, our past. We have this weird lingering question of who the f***. What. Where the f*** they went. What happened?

Cristina: What happened. Question marks everywhere.

Jack: Exactly. How is ish related?

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. Because he's a little stinky one.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: It's a little sneaky. And eventual hiding. Maybe in plain sight blending in. Exactly.

Cristina: What if he's. I don't know. Who knows?

Jack: How do the cockroach people relate? How do the Reptilians relate? Is there a bigger picture here? Well, the Reptilians were kind of like a minor nuisance.

Cristina: They were related to world too, not to us.

Jack: They interacted with our world and we stopped them so effortlessly that it's like. I don't see how this was ever a problem.

Cristina: It wasn't really a problem. We just stole something from them and it destroyed everything they had.

Jack: So easy. And then slaves. All the ones we kidnapped. Yeah, so easy. Conquistador style. F*** him.

Cristina: That's pretty bad.

Jack: So whatever. Explore brave new universes. Kidnap the people. Bring them to our side and make them work like good old Earthway.

Cristina: We've done that a lot though, so.

Jack: Yeah, except we killed the Earth people. It was very on brand for the rich people. Yeah, the roach people. Oh, it's very on brand for a guy who was N*** German. That, that checks out. That checks out. That checks out. That fits.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: This narrative wise, very coherent.

Cristina: That's not you that's not me.

Jack: I'm just. I mean, I married a cockroach, but it's totally unreal. I'm so different.

Cristina: You're so different. Yeah.

Jack: So different. Because whatever turned me into a N*** German, a hundred percent. I never experienced that.

Cristina: Yeah, man. So he probably is not the you that went to try to save the humans from the cat people.

Jack: No. These are two very different things.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: One is a hero. I'm neutral. Party as f***. One is a hero. That's a clone. Probably the first clone.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: One potentially a villain. And maybe not even human.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like never was human, only somehow became human. But then I'm human, so he was human. Interesting.

Cristina: Interesting. Then again, because of the Scooby Doo hybrid thing, maybe you're. He wasn't human.

Jack: I'm thinking he began. He began human. Right. Whatever's happening, began human. N*** Germany happens. High ranking, he gets killed, enters the shadow realm. Does the shadow realm have technology? But if that's the case, then he is somehow connected to the cat people because adrenochrome is also part of the narrative. Because why did he go to the shadow realm?

Cristina: But what does that have to do with the cat people? They don't have anything to do with adrenochrome, as far as I know. Do they?

Jack: I'm assuming they also. Originally. Many years ago. No. Many years ago. Chances are they were some of the first to take adrenochrome.

Cristina: Oh, yes. Okay.

Jack: Back in ancient Egypt days.

Cristina: We don't know for sure, but most likely, yes. That's our guess.

Jack: Yeah. I'm pretty. Yeah. So basically that's one of the things we would confirm upon getting to them.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because they have the info that their underlings do not.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So yeah, it's definitely possible that there is a connecting line there. Which means maybe the cappy pulls related to the portal.

Cristina: So everything's connected. Maybe.

Jack: Yeah. Think about it. Original Jack and Christy somehow related to the cat people because adrenochrome, there's a line connecting Ancient Egypt thing, whatever. And then that Jack following his whatever circumstance happened and that Chrissy's circumstance, whatever happened, everything that we investigate that is only popping its head up now all connects back to adrenochrome. So we know whatever happened spiraled some series of events out of control in which a bunch of s*** connected to adrenochrome popped up.

Cristina: Yes. So much.

Jack: So much s***. Everything connected to adrenochrome following that. So original Jack and Christie connect to Adrenochrome as well as the cat people. And original Jack and Christy are. I mean, the. The first set of clones are trying to stop the cat people.

Cristina: Mm. And so are we.

Jack: Which then. Cut it. Which. So are we. Which then connects us and that set of clones.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: To the original. So there's a clusterfuck. Mess of parts moving.

Cristina: But how does the portal connect to Adrenochrome?

Jack: How does the portal connect to adrenochrome? That is. And why is the portal so close and might even be the same episode? So somehow the ball got rolling at that point. You might be right. The portal is the answer. Yes.

Cristina: Okay. That's the main.

Jack: Which tells us another thing. The answer is in universe three, because that's where the portal goes.

Cristina: Whoa. Okay.

Jack: Are we gonna have to go into. Wow. There's. We haven't had a reason until now.

Cristina: To go to universe three. We're gonna do that.

Jack: Universe three. There's a reason to investigate. Whatever answers we're looking for might be over there. And I don'. How, but they might be over there.

Cristina: Let's do it.

Jack: We may have to. We just got to keep this a secret while we investigate it.

Cristina: Okay, so how's this a secret?

Jack: Because we're, like, the biggest news thing on Earth.

Cristina: Exactly. Okay. Everyone listening? Keep it a secret.

Jack: Yeah, keep it a secret. You're gonna help us ground certain baffling ideas. Not what you want to do. Look, man, we're figuring it out. The answers are there.

Cristina: They're there.

Jack: Look hard enough, we'll see them. Somehow this is related. Anyways. Anyways, look, go follow us on socials, you know, on Instagram, on TikTok, on Twitter. Just convopod on Facebook too, you know.

Jack: Hit the subscribe thing.

Cristina: And yeah, this has been the Rambling podcast. Take nothing personal, and thanks for listening.

Jack: Listen to me. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. The person who made the cappuccino used an almond. So it's not that the almond is the parent or the gay guy who. The overweight gay guy, specifically who made it and put it there, but it's a child of both of them.

Cristina: Is there overweight gay guy there?

Jack: Yeah, the overweight gay guy is the one who made it for us. Or at least who I saw put it on the thing, and usually the one who made it puts it on the thing.

Cristina: Oh, okay. And he's the father.

Jack: He's the father. And the mama Almond.

Cristina: Why would it be an almond, though? It's a cappuccino.

Jack: Oh, the bean. I don't know. You said almond.

Cristina: I know, but that's wrong.

Jack: Just the bean. The bean. The coffee bean.

Cristina: There's a couple things inside the cappuccino. It could be any of those things.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah.

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and Published by Great Thoughts.info Art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth 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?

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

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

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

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

Jack: Yes. So be sure to go find somebody, and as usual, thanks for listening. No, that's Michael. Michael. What is his f****** last name? It's my. I don't even know. It's Michael from Vsauce. And as always, thanks for listening. As always, for somebody to listen by endangering them.

Cristina: Yes, that's.

Jack: That's the moral of this show. I'll never tell you anything but endanger somebody and force them to listen to it.

Cristina: Because.

Jack: Because life.

Cristina: Why? What do you get out of it?

Jack: Listeners.

Cristina: Listeners. Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. We definitely have something to gain.

Cristina: But they die immediately. No, they don't.

Jack: No, they don't.

Cristina: Cancer.

Jack: They die slowly.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: They live long enough to tell other.

Cristina: People they can still continue listening to the show.

Jack: Yes. Until they do die a sure. Short, short, short death. Not. I guess, not a short death. A really long death, but a short life.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: I don't know. Is this good? I don't know. It is.

Jack: It's not affecting us.

Cristina: Yeah, well, our listeners could have a very long life and we'd have.

Jack: Why is that our problem, whether they live long or not?

Cristina: It's not. It's just like we're losing listeners eventually when they. When they die. We would have.

Jack: They. It's a trade off. They. The one.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Let's say they tell five people, then we lose one. We made four listeners in the exchange. It's ever growing, so we have to.

Cristina: But why do we have to give them cancer, though?

Jack: Like, we're not giving them cancer. They're getting cancer. There's a difference. I'm not. Like, I'm gonna give you cancer. Like, it's just an unfortunate side effect of listening to the show.

Cristina: Okay, so it doesn't. It's not our fault.

Jack: It's not our fault whatsoever. Yes, it's our fault, but not our intention.

Cristina: But we need them to listen.

Jack: Yeah, we need them to listen because then they can get us more listeners. And as such goes the domino effect.

Cristina: But why do we have to force them to get more listeners?

Jack: We're not Forcing them to get more listeners. We're making them force other people to get more listeners. They have an option to let their children be in danger. I'm not like forcing them to do anything.

Cristina: I guess it's. It's so wrong.

Jack: What, that I'm threatening their families? Yeah, it's totally fine, man.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: How many of them have not listened? And how many children have I harmed? None. They always listen.

Cristina: They always.

Jack: They always listen.

Cristina: This plan always works.

Jack: Always works. 100%, 100% of the time. It's a flawless plan. It's never once planned.

Cristina: But now that you share that news, someone's going to be like, maybe he doesn't kill these people's children. So I'm just gonna.

Jack: Well, no one. That's not. Because everybody's done it. There's no reason for me to kill anybody's child.

Cristina: Yeah, but the person listening doesn't understand that they.

Jack: Why don't they understand? You're assuming our listeners are stupid now.

Cristina: No, just this one listener who's like, I'm just gonna see.

Jack: So they're gonna put their child in danger just to test the waters?

Cristina: Yes. They're the gambling type of person. They're addicted to gambling.

Jack: And they're like, this is the ultimate gamble. I gotta see if I' ma win this one.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Interesting. Interesting. I bet there's people who gamble like that.

Cristina: Whoa. That's pretty risky. But I guess. Well then we'll find out if you mean it or not.

Jack: I do. I do mean it. I will do whatever to get listeners.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: I will go the extra mile.

Cristina: Would you cure the cancer that they're getting?

Jack: I'll do almost anything for listeners.

Cristina: Cuz that's something we could work on, I guess.

Jack: I mean, we have the resources. We have nothing but subhuman power and scientists. We got the freemasons lab.

Cristina: So we got.

Jack: We. We literally have hyper technologically advanced reptilians in imprisoned. And we have cats with magic powers.

Cristina: Magic to cure the cancer.

Jack: We could literally cure the cancer with magic.

Cristina: Why don't we?

Jack: Because then they'd be less committed with the cancer they're all in. They're already. They've already got the cancer. They might as well continue listening. Continue listening and getting other people to listen, lest it be in vain.

Cristina: I guess.

Jack: So like in theory we could just like hey, cat people, tell us how to cure cancer and then we would. But like, it's not helping us to cure cancer. I'd be going particularly out of my way to a different planet.

Cristina: We have Them on a different planet. Mars. Yeah. Okay.

Jack: On Mars from Universe 2.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: We haven't gone back there. I have no idea if that worked out, you know, over there. Yeah, that's done. Planet X destroyed that, right?

Cristina: Yeah, d***. Pretty sure. No, wait, no, we destroyed that.

Jack: We took their Mars.

Cristina: Yeah. We didn't destroy by taking, by stopping planet. I mean the planet X thing that was over here now over there.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we solved ours by taking theirs because we blew up our own Mars to stop the cockroach people.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So kind of problematic over there. We're fine using our nifty technology to save our. We saved our solar system by destroying a different one.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And for sure we might have been the cause of what was gonna destroy our system in the first place, but we, we saved it and that's the important part.

Cristina: Did we have anything to do with that?

Jack: We destroyed. Well, I destroyed original Mars because. Ah, cockroaches.

Cristina: Yes, that happened.

Jack: Which is ironic because I ended up marrying one anyways.

Cristina: Yes, well, you're married now.

Jack: Okay, I've been married. You had that same reaction before.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yes, exactly the same way.

Cristina: I thought you were just dating. I don't know.

Jack: Was I just dating? No, I think I'm married to. I think I've been married for a while.

Cristina: Okay, then. How many children do you have? Aren't like roaches? Don't they have many children?

Jack: And she's like a good 12ft tall, so it's like weird.

Cristina: So how many children are there? Does she have no children? It doesn't. That part doesn't work.

Jack: No kids? We. It's impossible for us to breed together.

Cristina: Okay, but if she was a breeding cockroach, how many children would she have?

Jack: I don't know. Many.

Cristina: Many, many, many. It is like that. Like with real roaches or is that not right? Is it just bunnies?

Jack: That I have no idea. Maybe.

Cristina: I feel like it's a bunch.

Jack: Like roaches just have a f*** ton. Yeah, I feel like that's wrong.

Cristina: You think so?

Jack: I think so. I think so. Because think about it, when you see a roach, there aren't like a f*** ton of roaches around there. Usually that only happens when there's something particularly disgusting going on that they start kind of collecting in an area. But when you see one roach, you kind of just see one roach. There isn't like a lot of roaches which goes like. If you see spider, you'll usually see multiple spiders in the same area. There's a spider over here, there's another web over there. There's a spider over there. But like a roach. You'll see one roach in a roam. A whole house and then. Okay, it's gone.

Jack: That's interesting. Right?

Cristina: I don't know. I think it's still.

Jack: They have a bunch and they just like, hide. Like there's one scout.

Cristina: There's this one scout. Yeah. Once you kill him, they know. They know.

Jack: And send the other one out. Yeah, you can go now. You've been promoted because he has died.

Cristina: Yeah. Like in a year from now, you'll be there.

Jack: Interesting. Interesting. And there's a bunch of cockroach people still out there. We destroyed your planet, but they were already exploring space.

Cristina: Oh, crap.

Jack: So there's a bunch of roaches out there. Probably.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Don't get in trouble.

Jack: I mean, they're good. They don't know what happened. They're just. I mean, when they get back home, they're just gonna see us having imprisoned.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: Be like these guys. This ain't even ours.

Cristina: Maybe they'll be scared of us, though. Like they won't start a war with.

Jack: Us because they're like, these people destroy all our people and imprison all these other creatures.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Cuz we got. Do we got stuff up there.

Cristina: We got werewolves, we got sea monsters.

Jack: We got sea monsters. We got f******. We got so much s***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So we got resources for days. On top of the fact that we have somewhere down here on Earth, our quantum computer that can do anything and simulate anything. We have a time machine that can take us not just forward, but back. And in your backyard, there is still a portal that we have completely ignored because we have no idea what to do with that.

Cristina: No. We could send some of these roaches in there or something.

Jack: We need to capture some of these roaches. And I'm not sending my wife in there.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Best bet. Send the reptilian in there. We have all of them enslaved.

Cristina: I feel like the right thing to do is to send a clone. No, not a clone.

Jack: A subhuman.

Cristina: A subhuman.

Jack: Fair enough. Fair enough. So the right thing, Keep the Reptilians. We don't know what they might be useful for.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But the Chinese pump out sub humans like there's no tomorrow. So we could just send one of them through.

Cristina: Yep.

Jack: Fair enough. I like that plan. And they'll do it without a fight. The reptilian might be like, no, I don't want to. And then it'll be all sad and annoying.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But the subhuman Will be like, yeah, yeah, this is my job. It's my job. They wouldn't even talk. They'll just nod and walk straight through, just mad, obedient.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. And then what happens?

Jack: Well, we know nothing happens because Ish jumped straight through and didn't die.

Cristina: I'm pretty sure he died. Are you sure?

Jack: Yeah, he just jumped straight through. You think he died?

Cristina: I don't remember. I feel like there was, like, so many different versions of him jumping in.

Jack: And dying because he also. Yeah, no, there was already. No, it's livable. At least there was already a version over there he tried to kill. It was a mess.

Cristina: There was a version of. But that was before. Was that before or after? Okay.

Jack: I don't know. I know Ish. Some version of Ish lived through the portal.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's a fact. We didn't get to explore too long because he was too impulsive. Jumped in and came back and was like, ha. But, like, we know a subhuman won't die just by going through.

Cristina: Yes, okay.

Jack: They might die going farther, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And they can come back with information if they don't die.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And if they do die, we'll send two just in case. Between two of them, they can handle whatever killed them.

Cristina: Really? But we wouldn't know. Unless. You think we could just videotape the other side or something?

Jack: Yes, that'd be great.

Cristina: That would be. And then. And then I don't know what we do.

Jack: I don't know. Because we can't move it. It's not like a physical thing we could just grab and walk with. It's just there. Touching it is the other side.

Cristina: That is pretty dangerous.

Jack: It's just floating in your backyard.

Cristina: What do we do with it then? Man, it feels like we should do something with it, though. It's pretty epic.

Jack: I know. We. Okay, we could, in theory, knock down your house.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Build an entire thing around the portal and charge people to go in.

Cristina: We could do that. That sounds very like our zombie island thing.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: That was successful.

Jack: Holy s***. I forgot we had zombie island, which was really successful, but nobody left that island after they got there.

Cristina: Yes. And then we turned it into a toilet paper castle thing.

Jack: Yeah. Where the zombies were kind of protecting us from the virus.

Cristina: Yeah. You forgot about that.

Jack: I forgot about that. We own so many things. The lore of this podcast has gotten.

Cristina: So out of hand because we stole the island from. I think we stole it from you. Or from Dana White. I can't remember.

Jack: Oh, my God. Is this Fight Island?

Cristina: Yeah, I think it was Fight Island.

Jack: I think we stole it. I think we just like built our s*** on his island and then the zombies kind of offed everything that was left. I don't remember how this played out, but yeah, we got Zombie island. I'm pretty sure it was Fight Island.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But then we made a toilet paper castle in the survive. Because the toilet paper, you know, it defends against the. The virus.

Cristina: Yeah, I feel that's right. Yeah.

Jack: This is basically recap episode. Trying to piece together the narrative of our show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because we've done a couple of things, in fact, using the time machine. I remember I went forward in time and saw a version of me that was doing things terrible.

Cristina: Did you?

Jack: Yeah. Like sending people into the future in a touristy kind of way? Yes, the same, I guess the same way that I would be doing with the portal in the first place.

Cristina: Yeah. You think you were making money off of it? No. You were trying to stop the end of the world.

Jack: The cat people who were taking over. That's how we started chasing them to find them in the great Void.

Cristina: Yes. We only found them because there was a version of you who knew about them and was trying to change how much people. I don't know. What was his goal.

Jack: Also, we solved a problem. And I didn't think about this. We can jump anywhere in space now because we know how the pyramids work.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: And the cat people in Lake Loch Ness that were being protected by Nessie told us that their people are in the great Void.

Cristina: Oh, yes, we know. We don't know what's in there. But I guess now we know. Now we know we can't actually go in there.

Jack: Except we can, because we can use the pyramids to teleport us straight to the crate void in one clean shot. Just be there one second later. And we know they know the coordinates.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. So then that has to be another adventure.

Jack: I guess we can actually go kill the cat gods.

Cristina: Why? Why?

Jack: Or capture them, interrogate them for God like things. I don't know. Point is, we can go solve our cat problem.

Cristina: I don't even know if we have a cat problem. I don't know how you're.

Jack: Originally. Originally something resulted in cat people taking over the world.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And what I did was continuously send humans to different points in time from the future of after humanity started declining to counteract the growth of cat people.

Cristina: Yes. With humans. To have sex with humans. Yes.

Jack: Multiply and then overthrow the cat people before they became too strong. Okay, so I stopped the future from being about cat people. I did that. That was me.

Cristina: A version of you.

Jack: A version of me who's dead now or hiding.

Cristina: Hiding.

Jack: I think that one's hiding.

Cristina: Yeah, I think so.

Jack: Also, there were a lot of clones. I'm not even the original person hosting this show. No, neither are you.

Cristina: No, but I think there's way more versions of you out there than there are of me.

Jack: I think they're about the same.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah, I think they're about the same. I just think the one that was gonna be killed of me ran away. Fair enough. There's one more. There's two of me. There's one of you. Yeah, because one version of me also came back. That same one that is hiding came back to kill Jemaine.

Cristina: Yeah. No, I don't think that was the same you. That's a different you.

Jack: That was a different me.

Cristina: There's three of me that slow you that thought the clone of a clone. Clone of a clone tried to kill.

Jack: You, but couldn't tell the difference between me and Jemaine, who clearly look very different.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And that clone was a one armed. What was the story with that?

Cristina: He's got one arm robot.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Yeah. And we saw him on a billboard.

Jack: We f****** saw this guy in the real world. That's crazy. That's crazy. We just saw him outside.

Cristina: Yep. So he's doing something. He's got a modeling career? I guess so.

Jack: Yeah. That's crazy. Yo, man, man, the retarded clone f***** that up.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Because wasn't he supposed to kill that guy who was trying to kill who turned. That's the reason that Jermaine was a ghost in the first place.

Cristina: Because he was trying to kill you?

Jack: No, Jermaine was a ghost the whole time. And he was killed by the guy with one arm and one eye, which my clone was supposed to kill but couldn't tell the difference between me and the guy with one arm and one eye, Right?

Cristina: No, the clone is the guy with one arm and one eye.

Jack: Holy crap. What happened to him?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Did we not get to the bottom? We never got to the bottom of what happened to my clone.

Cristina: How? Jermaine remembers the killer that killed him. Yeah, the guy had one arm and.

Jack: One eye, which was just my clone.

Cristina: Your clone? Yes. Who thought he was killing you, but he killed Jermaine.

Jack: And then Jermaine became a ghost?

Cristina: Yes. How he happened. How this happened to him, I don't know, maybe it was part of the copy copy process. Messed him up like such a s*****.

Jack: Copy that he had one arm less and one eyeless. And so he got a robot arm. He got a robot arm. I don't understand. I don't understand what happened. But he ended up modeling, which helped out, which is typical. Models are stupid, on average.

Cristina: Oh, and he's probably not trying to kill you anymore. He probably thinks he did the right thing.

Jack: He's too dumb to realize he did something wrong, but. So there are three clones. There's that r***** out there, and there's the one who's hiding, who was supposed to be dead, who was running this before me but didn't get killed, who I believe Jermaine was supposed to kill.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Something like that. He was original living. Jermaine was here to kill somebody.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: I don't remember that. Okay.

Jack: There's some. Something's happening there. I don't remember that too clearly.

Cristina: Mm. He might have been.

Jack: We simulated a lot of things using the quantum computer.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Trying to simulate consciousness, trying to tell if consciousness affects movement or not. Just running real pressing issue experiments. It's really interesting. I think that's the only thing we've used without just total recklessness.

Cristina: No, and. Wait, the whole two people. We had two people to see the whole test with the. With the ship, with Baan people. That was in the quantum computer.

Jack: I have no idea what you're talking about. There was lack of description and all of that.

Cristina: The thing about the ship where if you remove all the parts. Is it the same ship?

Jack: Oh, the ship of Theseus.

Cristina: Yes, but we did it with people. Was that.

Jack: Did we do that with people?

Cristina: We did it with two people. It was the same person, but twice, I think.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it wasn't the same person twice. It was. That was just a thought experiment without a computer. It was saying, like, if you think the person is still alive, but you don't know they died, to you, that person is living.

Jack: So it goes to show that your thought of something is more effective than the truth of something.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And in the case of the ship, whichever ship you feel is the one you experience it with, which would be the one that's the new one, because to you it was consistent.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's real ship. Because that's what you're projecting all your while to the person who shows up late. They see all the panels on the new ship, which is the old ship's parts.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And they're like, that's a ship. I went on. And you're both technically right.

Cristina: Yes. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: But we did run consciousness. We did have the. We did have two people, but it was in the ship of Theseus thing. It was testing to see whether consciousness would affect a person at all. By putting consciousness in one person and not in the other and then overlapping them. Phase.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So that they move and behave in exactly the same way.

Cristina: What was that in the machine that.

Jack: Was running the machine? Yes.

Cristina: Okay. Yes. That's what I remember. All right.

Jack: Yeah. And then if they ever break symmetry, then the one with consciousness is the one who did it because they were affected by something. Their consciousness affected the body.

Cristina: Yeah. That's a great test.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. If we could run that in real life, that'd be phenomenal. But we can't. But that's why we have the quantum computer to run these experiments that would otherwise be impossible.

Cristina: Mm. What else have we done? That stuff with Ish. You and him hacking together or I guess, versus each other. I'm not really sure.

Jack: This is a whole other problem. This is when robots are trying to take over the world.

Cristina: That was when robots are trying. I know. He had a robot buddy.

Jack: He had a robot. Yeah.

Cristina: Oh, he hacked one.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: He hacked one.

Jack: One of the Terminator robot things.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And then he had the robot carry him. We had a hack off to see who could hack more.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And he was. He was the better hacke.

Cristina: That's what happened.

Jack: He was the better hacker. That was an interesting time. We've been involved in a couple of wars with the cat people, with the reptilians, with the cockroach people, with the robots.

Cristina: Crazy that the zombies didn't take over. But it's a good thing that we just have them on an island.

Jack: Yeah. We controlled the zombies.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: On the flip side, we also control the lizard people, the cat people. Like, we got pretty. We've got a pretty good grasp on things.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The power of the Illuminati, right there.

Cristina: Mm. But we don't have control of any most mythical creatures.

Jack: No.

Cristina: Because way too many.

Jack: There's way too many. And it's hard to f*** with them because you got to track them down first.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Just getting the werewolves was not easy.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That was hard work. It took a lot. We were. We all the invisible. We got more verse in werewolves than f****** Sam and Dean.

Cristina: We had to make some. What was the easiest way to. To lay down on a sunny day or something? On a Wednesday. On a Wednesday. In water. I don't.

Jack: We Needed to find a werewolf footprint that was wet, and then you need to lay down in the puddle.

Cristina: You gotta drink the water, I think.

Jack: Oh, really?

Cristina: Then take a nap. On a Wednesday?

Jack: No, the easier way was the belt, right?

Cristina: Oh, yeah. You just put the belt on, you turn into a werewolf.

Jack: A wolf's belt. A belt made of a wolf, I guess.

Cristina: So like a furry belt.

Jack: Then you're a werewolf, and then you're a werewolf. That's how it goes.

Cristina: It's pretty simple. And then you take it off and you're human again.

Jack: We also found out that werewolves were inherently not a thing to begin with. They became a thing after people spoke of them. Because beforehand it was just Native Americans running around doing ritual things. And somehow between point A, when colonizers showed up and saw people running in the woods that looked like werewolves, and now when we caught a werewolf, they became real. Because originally it was just people.

Cristina: It was just people.

Jack: And we actually found out how that happened, which was adrenochrome.

Cristina: Adrenochrome.

Jack: Adrenochrome created werewolves. Boom.

Cristina: Yes. Because the church somehow.

Jack: Yes. And the church is the colonizers.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because they brought Christianity over.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So there really wasn't. Wow. We connected those dots pretty nicely. There really wasn't werewolves. Then the colonizers showed up, saw people who were like werewolves, and they're like, we would probably do this for real. Gave them adrenochrome, created werewolves. Some of those werewolves got feral and became other creatures.

Cristina: Yes. Yeah.

Jack: But werewolves were there.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Interesting. And this happened with many things, including the groundhog that tells us how long seasons last. Because that's his power.

Cristina: It's the lame power. He's got the lamest ability.

Jack: It matters to us for whatever reason.

Cristina: Matters to farmers.

Jack: He turned it into a whole career, I guess.

Cristina: I mean, right now it doesn't matter. I'm sure when it did matter, it mattered.

Jack: And now we just honor him because he mattered.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now it's a respect thing.

Cristina: Yeah, it's respect right now.

Jack: Yeah. It's like you helped us when we needed you most. Now we keep you hooked up until you no longer want to be.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's a respect thing.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Does that make sense?

Cristina: I think so. The whole it has its own language thing is pretty ridiculous, though.

Jack: I have a theory. What if we take our time machine to Clinton Road, we put it in the woods, and we hit forward. And we hit forward at a slower pace than crazy flying through time. But faster than now or even slower than now in the time bubble that we form nothing is being altered because we create our own time bubble. But if we can still see the outside being altered, would we notice inconsistencies in how space and time shift around us? Right. If we're walking through Clinton Road and things are changing at random because there are time bubbles, then we don't notice because we're in the time bubble that we seamlessly walk through.

Cristina: But if we could take yourself out. Yeah.

Jack: If we could be in our own time bubble, would we see things that random around us changing and shifting because of the time bubbles? Yes, because we removed ourselves from it. We're not being affected.

Cristina: And if it's not time bubbles, we'll see what it is happening.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: If there is something else. Could be a bunch of fairies playing tricks on people. Yeah.

Jack: Because fairies are douchebags.

Cristina: Yeah. So I didn't realize that could be an option too.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: They love doing tricks on people.

Jack: Good. They could. And some of them are powerful enough to make it seem like you've entered some whole other area and s***.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: Could be fairies.

Cristina: Whoa. I didn't even consider that as an option.

Jack: I thought aliens, but aliens could also be an option. Maybe people are just getting kidnapped and they are getting, like. By aliens who control so such advanced technology that they can alter time momentarily and they go into this sort of bubbled universe where they do things to you. They put you back and to you. It's only been a moment. Of course, in some of these instances, it's been hours. Yeah. Some of these instances it has been, like, ridiculously long for the amount of time we feel passed by. So it's like we kind of weren't there for some time.

Cristina: We.

Jack: That is weird. Like, forever. That's some of the most interesting episodes we've had because that was real experiences. And we even called people in. We called Reaper, we called Noona to hear their sides of these stories.

Cristina: Yeah. We're just missing one person side.

Jack: Yep.

Cristina: Who knows if they even remember because it's such a long time ago.

Jack: It was a very long time ago, and it was a very short part of our life, but we all remember it. Everybody we did call remembers it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And what's weird is the difference in everybody's story. That's crazy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Everybody had something different happening.

Cristina: Mm. Everyone had a very strange night, but in a very different way. Yes.

Jack: That's. What's the craziest part about that. Those are some of my favorite episodes, man.

Cristina: How else could we explore Clinton Road?

Jack: Definitely with the time machine. We'll Get a new perspective on things.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Alternatively, we could use the quantum computer and simulate all of the wood and see what we see, because we can stop it. Anything at any moment, move around, look at everything.

Cristina: That'd be interesting. Can we see things in the computer? Like, could we put you guys in that?

Jack: Yeah, we can get the computer to simulate us perfectly and just recreate the series of events that we saw.

Cristina: Yeah. Oh, that'd be so crazy.

Jack: Yeah, that's. That's what it's there for. We do whatever the h*** we want.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: I also remember this one time that we simulated a child in the quantum computer who was born not being able to see, not being able to hear, not being able to talk. We just made some horrible human.

Cristina: That is horrible.

Jack: Just so we could see what their thoughts are like. Remember that?

Cristina: I don't. And I don't know. Like, what did we find, though?

Jack: I don't remember.

Cristina: Do you remember? That is a crazy experiment. That seems so wrong because they think.

Jack: There'S nothing that would stop them from thinking their brain is still functional.

Cristina: Yeah, but how do they think if they can't? If they can't, there's no senses.

Jack: Yes. We removed all the senses. But left everything functioning.

Cristina: But left everything functioning.

Jack: Yes, because if we left the tactile sensations, they would think in sensation, like physical touch. If we left scent, they would think in smell. If we left sound, they would think in audible thoughts. Yeah, but we took everything away.

Cristina: Yes. Wow. It's so weird. I feel like I remember something. What are those creepypasta stories that are similar to that, but it's not like a child. It was a person who. They took his senses away from him just to see what would happen. It's. Of course it leads to something creepy.

Jack: Nicki went crazy. Yeah.

Cristina: Yeah. He goes crazy. Then he starts seeing dead people, he says, but they don't believe him. And then I think in the end, he pretty much sees God or something.

Jack: Yes, but this is all happening when they took away his senses. But he could still talk.

Cristina: Yeah, but he could still communicate to them what he.

Jack: Yeah, they took away his sense of touch, of smell, of sound, of sight.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But he could talk.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And they put this machine to him, and they left him in a room, and little by little, he devolved into madness.

Cristina: Mm. That's pretty crazy.

Jack: I mean, we had a creepypasta episode.

Cristina: We did. I don't think that story was in that creepypasta episode, but that's a creepypasta for sure.

Jack: Yeah. This really cool creep pastas are Cool. I like them.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The weird f***** up stories.

Cristina: Yeah, it's just fun storytelling. Just campfire storytelling.

Jack: Fun. Yes. It's the Internet's campfire.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And they're so well done. They're way better than campfire stories.

Cristina: Yeah, they are. They're very similar, though. Like. Yeah, the idea is still there. It's very social.

Jack: Yes, yes, yes. The same thing as you. You telling somebody else a thing.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: They're written really well too.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like, and not just. I don't mean written as in like novelized narration. It's like they're written in a believable way, which is the tool of the Internet. Like, that's how you write something on the Internet to make it scarier.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You write it like, oh, this is.

Cristina: A post on Reddit happening right now.

Jack: Yeah, there was actually some like that.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like, people being hot. Actually, some of these aren't even like, creepypastas. Some of these are just weird people. Or not weird people. People posting about weird things.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And they'll be log. Of course, some of them are bullshit, but they're following the format of people who are doing it in places that are real. And I'll be like, hey, there's something weird happening in my house. And I'll post every day to keep you updated. And then this troll just drops off the face of the earth one day.

Cristina: Yes. Usually the friend of the person writes the last post to say, oh, whoever died or mysteriously disappeared or something.

Jack: Yes, yes.

Cristina: He left me this last message to give you guys or whatever. Like, what? But it's part of the fun, I guess.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy, right? Yeah, I like all that kind of stuff. That's totally dope.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: We've. We've gone places.

Cristina: We've gone places through the Internet or through this podcast. All of it.

Jack: Both. All of the above.

Cristina: All of the above. All of the Part of the Internet anyway.

Jack: Yeah, but we also have access to all the information in the world, period. Not just the Internet. We got straight access to the Freemason's library. We have all the resources of the Illuminati.

Cristina: That's true, but the Internet is so much more fun.

Jack: Yeah, well, not really. Sometimes we just go and wander out and do things.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Talk to people. We found out what the real Scooby Doo is like. We had conversations. I tracked down this f****** scientist, saw his work. He just came out of nowhere and disappeared into the ether just as fast. This real life mad scientist out there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: There's a real guy. People in The Scooby Doo episode, you will hear about a real human who makes chimeras. Who makes chimeras? That's just his thing. He will go wherever he could go. That they'll allow him to make chimeras. And he did.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: With China, our buddies who give us sub humans.

Cristina: He meets Scooby Doo.

Jack: He could have.

Cristina: He could have. He could have. Yes. Okay, we.

Jack: We don't know anything for sure.

Cristina: No, we can guess.

Jack: Yeah. And we know that Scooby Doo was just one of the failed attempts at making his cousin.

Cristina: Which guy is he?

Jack: The gray, like, superhero dog?

Cristina: Yeah. Oh, that was. I don't understand. No, that guy's a robot.

Jack: Was he a robot?

Cristina: I don't know. He's, like, a Transformer robot.

Jack: That's weird. And that's one of the most recent revelations, too. Transformers.

Cristina: Transformers. Yes.

Jack: The fact that God not only made people, he made robots.

Cristina: Or there's two different gods.

Jack: Or just two different gods. Fair enough. We are yet to confirm this information.

Cristina: Yeah. What? I'm very. I can't wait to find out the answer. Especially if it's two different gods, because.

Jack: I mean, something made those gods.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: If there's two gods. We got to go further back.

Cristina: Yes. I wonder if the show even goes that far back, though.

Jack: But just give up at some point.

Cristina: Yeah. I don't know. That's so crazy. How did we even get there? I don't know. Somehow through he man.

Jack: He man led to Transformers. It makes sense.

Cristina: It's. I don't know if it makes sense. Does it make sense?

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: Is this a clear connection?

Jack: I'm sure we could connect it if we wanted to. That's what we do here at the Just Conversation podcast. We connect dots.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's our job. That's what we do. We talk about the big pressing issues in the world. We combine all the dots, and it is what it is.

Cristina: We're no different than conspiracy theorists. Don't they do that? They're just connecting dots from different titles of new news titles.

Jack: Yeah, but their dot connecting doesn't inherently make sense. Like, we're trying to ground things. They're just not connecting.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah. We're trying to say this because that. They're just trying to say, this sounds like that.

Cristina: This sounds like that.

Jack: Yeah. Like, I can explain the things we believe with science.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So we. We've. We've been round, and since there's. We even got episodes in which we're just helping people.

Cristina: When do we help people?

Jack: Relationship Advice when we're answering science questions. There was one time that we were just trolling people's answer to complicated paradigm.

Cristina: Yes, recently we helped people convert to Christianity.

Jack: Yes, recently we. We. We jumped on our path towards the light and we tried to bring you guys with us.

Cristina: Yeah, well, yeah, that is. That's so crazy because you can convert someone to it and then convert someone away from it.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, I've mastered the art of doing that. Which then, then brings us to the guests and everything. Right. Like we mentioned germs and we mentioned Ishmael. But like, we've had a multitude of guests on this show. A bunch of interesting people, from musicians to artists, directors, other podcasters. Just a lot going on. Some of them multidisciplinary people.

Cristina: And some of us tried. Some of them tried to convert us.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Two very strange things.

Jack: Like what?

Cristina: Into. I don't know, what's the religion called?

Jack: Oh, the. You're talking about Michael Horn.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: To pull us into the religion of Billy Mayer and his UFO contacts and stuff.

Cristina: Yes. It's very, very interesting.

Jack: Ishmael tried to convince me that he saw h***.

Cristina: Oh, yeah, yeah. You can't disprove him.

Jack: I can't. I can't. I haven't crossed that threshold.

Cristina: That's too crazy. I don't know. We'll see.

Jack: We'll see. He'll be back one day.

Cristina: Yeah, we'll have more stories.

Jack: Actually, he literally has another story about a near death experience. We need to get him back on the show. Oh, like he almost died again.

Cristina: How often does this happen?

Jack: Quite often. And he still thinks it had to do with the llama.

Cristina: No way.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was the one that he didn't have. The llama again.

Cristina: Really? Yeah.

Jack: Which would give way credibility to that llama. Like just really protecting him.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because the one. The another one time he doesn't have it, boom. Almost dies.

Cristina: Yeah. Maybe he is onto something.

Jack: He got the lucky llama. Interesting little artifact to own.

Cristina: Yes. Man, we have so many different guests. I don't know, there's just so many guests, so many topics, so many.

Jack: Yeah, we're all over the place. Yes, all over the place with it. There's no consistency in anything.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Sometimes our whole episode is fueled by an investigation we're running for the Illuminati. They give us an objective. We do our research and we just share it with you guys and we go do our homework and we go on our mission. We accomplish our mission. We let you guys know everything that happens.

Cristina: Did they give you. The mission to try to get. I forgot the name of the guest, but to get him to kill a baby.

Jack: You're talking about Bran, then.

Cristina: Yes. And the baby shaking.

Jack: The baby shaking.

Cristina: That was pretty intense.

Jack: No, they didn't want me to get him to shake a baby.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: That was just curiosity. Me playing the devil's advocate, which happens with pretty much every guest.

Cristina: And the trolley. He wasn't the only one you've done that with, have you?

Jack: No, with Cliff from Space Skits. I gave him the trolley experiment. But we had a kid, the kid who was starving.

Cristina: Oh, yes. You get him. Oh, my God. Can't die.

Jack: He can't die. And this guy just made his situation ever worse. Yeah, that was a great trolley experiment.

Cristina: Yes. Just making this poor kid's life worse and worse.

Jack: Progressively, like infinitely worse.

Cristina: Because he was trying to be the nice guy. Yep.

Jack: He was trying to not cause problems and as a result made everything 100% worse.

Cristina: That was awesome. Okay.

Jack: We've also, many times, many, many, many times gone down complete thought vortexes with Dave.

Cristina: Yes. But about, like, what, like the Matrix?

Jack: A lot of it. Because the mate, he's so well versed in the Matrix and a lot of, like, everything kind of relates heavily.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So we end up always going back to that or comparing notes with that.

Cristina: With reality in it.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Mm. He needs to come back. Is he alright?

Jack: He's fine. Thieves lives.

Cristina: He lives life.

Jack: He lives on the ice.

Cristina: Watches movies.

Jack: Watches movies? Yeah.

Cristina: Wasn't there a movie he needed to watch that you were talking to him about? No, he was talking about Supernatural. You think he ever started that journey?

Jack: I have no idea. That's.

Cristina: That's a journey.

Jack: That's a journey, man. 22 episodes, 15 seasons.

Cristina: It's possible.

Jack: That's crazy. Yeah. Who else have we totally gone down weird thought vortexes with? We had Dave, we had Christian. We went through some interesting ones with him. He came an atheist and left a believer.

Cristina: Whoa. And there's Anthony and Ryan.

Jack: Those are such amazing humans. And both trolls.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And I remember one episode where Ryan was trying to troll you. Yeah. He was trying to troll me without realizing. Like, bro, I am not pretending to be a troll.

Cristina: Where did that lead us? I feel like it had to do with tape or something. There was a bow and if you just put the thing.

Jack: Flexial.

Cristina: Flexial. Yes.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. I don't even know. I know that he was trying to consistently change the topic.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And I was okay with that. And that was bothering him that he was trying to troll and I was following along, which means he had to be able to continue to change the topic without losing himself in thought, which kind of annoyed him because he wanted to lose me in thought. But, like, I don't. This show has no. Yeah, like, this has no direction already, dude.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: What do you. What you. What are you trying to derail?

Cristina: He did not win that battle.

Jack: He did not win the battle.

Cristina: Ah.

Jack: His. He gets an A for effort.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You know, but it's like, I would need a plan for you to destroy the plan. And like, I don't have a plan.

Cristina: No, but he usually has a plan, I guess.

Jack: Yes. How are you a troll with a plan?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He comes in thinking, this is what's got to be done. This is how it's got to be done. It's like, I don't care, dude. Whatever goes, it goes.

Cristina: And you won that. What? That was funny.

Jack: Oh, yes. Oh, yes. He can't handle the trolling, man. We had a conversation about cheese. I remember that. Asking how. How he likes cheese. How much cheese do you like, bro? Freestyling on cheese.

Cristina: Yes, the whole conversation about cheese.

Jack: Whole conversation about cheese. Anthony is. He's the gay me.

Cristina: Yes, he is.

Jack: You precise down to like, though just how he thinks, how casual he is, how little f**** he gives. It's awesome.

Cristina: Mm. Does he like cheese?

Jack: I wonder. I should bring Anthony on and have an entire conversation about how much he likes cheese.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And he probably can't eat cheese, cuz b*** sex.

Cristina: What?

Jack: It's problematic. You don't want to have cheese and then have b*** sex.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Because that's a problem. You don't want to have the poops while you. You. You f****** butts.

Cristina: Is cheese making poops?

Jack: Cheese is making you have a loose poops. Yeah.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Gives people runny poops.

Cristina: Do you like cheese?

Jack: I like cheese. I don't have cheese often, though.

Cristina: If you could, would you have it often?

Jack: I could. I still don't have it often, so no.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. We went into granular detail about the gayest things known to man with Anthony. I should bring Ryan on and ask him the same questions I asked Anthony as though Ryan himself was gay.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. That's an interesting episode.

Jack: Yeah. I'll just write the questions down on paper after listening to the episode with Anthony. Then I'll ask Ryan those questions.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: My first interview is gonna be with Ryan.

Cristina: Your first interview?

Jack: Yeah. Because it's always open discussion.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: My first interview will be with Ryan and I'm gonna ask him questions as though he's gay.

Cristina: Okay. I love it.

Jack: And there's two episodes with Anthony that we can take questions from.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. This is so fun. Yes.

Jack: And has Ryan been on three times or two?

Cristina: I feel like two.

Jack: Two. I know. Dave has been on three times or four.

Cristina: He's the most.

Jack: Yeah, he might be cut in five. I'm not sure.

Cristina: Whoa. Anthony twice. Also.

Jack: Anthony twice, Ryan twice. Ishmael three times.

Cristina: Well, we need some of these guests.

Jack: Back, but I also want, like, brand new guests.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's what I'm excited about for next year. No repeats. Just all new guests.

Cristina: All new.

Jack: All new guests.

Cristina: All year. All year.

Jack: All year. Everybody's new.

Cristina: Everyone.

Jack: Everyone's new. No repeats.

Cristina: Lame. Okay, that's fine.

Jack: Yeah. Well, then again, no, there could be repeats. Yeah, it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.

Cristina: Doesn't matter.

Jack: Because there's gonna be at least one new guest per month would be the goal. Repeats could come in no matter when.

Cristina: Oh, yes. We're cha. Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Yes. Things are happening.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's an evolution happening in the works. Thoughts being discussed and whatnot. So that'll be interesting.

Cristina: That will be.

Jack: I hope that plays out accordingly. It's actually why we don't talk about it into Mike, because a bunch of times things change. Consistently.

Cristina: Things definitely change all the time. Yes. We've mentioned so many things that. Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. That's why we don't mention it. Because sometimes we have an idea and we'll, like, throw it away and it's like it never made it on mic, so we don't have to worry.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Since we never talk about it. It's just natural things happening in the background because a lot of it is just free floating thoughts.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So that's the right way. The show is always evolving. Always changing.

Cristina: That's the way it should be.

Jack: That's the way it should be. One format for all of eternity. That sucks.

Cristina: That's boring.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Our show's not boring.

Jack: Our show's not boring. It's also really hard to comprehend. Again, this narrative is crazy.

Cristina: The. Yes, the storyline.

Jack: Yeah, I don't fully comprehend our storyline myself.

Cristina: Yes. This episode, trying to explain it is probably really complicated.

Jack: Yes. Yes, it's really complicated because also some.

Cristina: Of our guests have been in our story, which we already mentioned.

Jack: Ishmael, Jermaine.

Cristina: But also Dave has. And that we didn't mention. But I think he is a clone.

Jack: Yeah, Dave is a clone as well. There's a couple of clones.

Cristina: Yeah. But he also died during this show as well.

Jack: Yes. That's why he's a clone.

Cristina: Yep.

Jack: He was killed early. And then the clone, him is who showed up after a while.

Cristina: Yeah. And it was perfect because his nickname is already clone.

Jack: Yes. Yes, that is perfect. So then he became the actual clone.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's crazy. There's a. There's a lot going on.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Jermaine's a ghost.

Cristina: He is.

Jack: Ishmael is also clone.

Cristina: He is too.

Jack: There's a lot of clones running around.

Cristina: Is he the clone, though? Because they are.

Jack: We don't know. We actually have no idea what the answer to that question is.

Cristina: The clone.

Jack: They fought each other and won one. We know one of them won. We're just not asking questions.

Cristina: Yes. And I doubt he knows.

Jack: Yeah. Because they both think they're the real one.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So we have an idea. We have an idea.

Cristina: We have no idea. Whoa.

Jack: He might or might not be the clone.

Cristina: There's no way to test that, though, is.

Jack: There's no way to test that they would be genetically identical.

Cristina: Well, all right.

Jack: Well, actually, there is a way to test it.

Cristina: What's that?

Jack: We gotta clone him.

Cristina: How would that help if he ends up flawed?

Jack: Yeah, if he's flawed. If the clone. Clone's clone is flat. Well, if the clone we get is flawed, then that's the clone's clone. Yeah, but if he's a perfect clone, then we cloned the original.

Cristina: Yes, but then the original will look at that clone, decided they need a fight to the death, and then we'll.

Jack: Be in the same situation, so it doesn't even matter.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: All we would have answered is he was the clone. But we'll be left with the same question now. Because we'll be like, I don't know.

Cristina: Yeah, exactly.

Jack: So there's no way to solve that problem.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Ishmael's too impulsive. He's gonna try to kill himself every time on site. Yes, which is exactly what happened. It was no discussion.

Cristina: Like jumping into that hole. No thought doing it.

Jack: Yep. No thought, just straight in.

Cristina: That's why I think it killed him a few times. So I don't know if you were sending in clones. So is he a clone or did he survive?

Jack: I think he was the.

Cristina: And he was jumping back.

Jack: Look, I don't know if he was a clone or not. I know he jumped through.

Cristina: Yeah. And he came back several times, though.

Jack: Yes. Just f****** around, jumping like, haha. Jumping in and out. So I don't know. I don't know. I couldn't that in no way tells us whether he was a clone or not. We just know you can survive on the other side. Yeah, which, thanks to his impulsiveness, we got the answer to.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Meanwhile, we were just trying to get people to come up with clever ways to test.

Cristina: Without going in. Because we have asked other people.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Without going in, how would they test it?

Jack: But Ishmael just hopped through.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And he just proved it's fine.

Cristina: Yeah, that's true.

Jack: So, like, his impulsiveness worked out in our favor.

Cristina: Yes, but if it didn't, then what? I guess we'd continue testing it the way we were.

Jack: Well, no. If he jumped through and died, there's no point.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Then we just know it's too hostile. We just gotta, like, build a cement case around that black hole.

Cristina: Yeah, but now we're gonna start. We're gonna destroy my house so that we could sell tickets to enter it.

Jack: Yes. I don't know where it goes, but you guys are gonna have a wait.

Cristina: Are we doing the clones first? Are we gonna send them out just to make sure it's safe to explore it? Yeah, the sub humans.

Jack: Yes. We'll send subhumans in with cameras attached and stuff.

Cristina: And if it's safe enough, then we'll make a business around it.

Jack: Yes, yes. The same way that I did with Time Machine.

Cristina: All right, perfect.

Jack: Which I killed the other me for the time machine, Right? Is that how that went?

Cristina: I thought you ran away. You think you killed you?

Jack: Well, I was. I guess the plan was to kill me.

Cristina: What?

Jack: But I don't think I did. I'm just saying that the goal was.

Cristina: Okay, then.

Jack: That is because I was sending people with the time machine, and I got a hold of the time machine.

Cristina: Oh, okay. That does make sense. Maybe the other you. The copy of the copy was sent to kill you from the Illuminati because they didn't like what you were doing with the machine.

Jack: But that wasn't me.

Cristina: The other you. Whatever. The one that's in hiding right now.

Jack: Yes, I think that's what happened. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Cristina: And then instead of killing him, he killed Jermaine. Jermaine. Okay.

Jack: But still this. And then went and became a model.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That we later saw on a billboard. Also, it looks nothing like me. It looks like an old white guy. So, like.

Cristina: Yeah, I can.

Jack: I can understand how this clone was confused.

Cristina: Does Jermaine look like an old white guy?

Jack: No, Jermaine just looks like Jermaine. Okay, but we really did see this clone on a billboard.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That is the Most amazing takeaway. We were f****** around, talking about this thing. Went outside into the real world, and we saw the exact descriptions we were talking about.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: We.

Cristina: Whoa, whoa.

Jack: Another argument for this being the Matrix.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Dave's on to something.

Cristina: Yes. And there was that one time where you and another guest were trying to predict shootings.

Jack: Oh, my God. And we did.

Cristina: Yeah. And then you had a second episode for it. Because.

Jack: Trying to like, you know, disclaimer. We didn't tell him to do it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because we predicted one of these mass shootings would happen immediately after the other one.

Cristina: Do you remember that guest name?

Jack: That guess was Blake.

Cristina: Blake Weatherly. Yes. Okay. Yeah.

Jack: And me and Blake Weatherly just really use hard information. We sat down and we thought about it. We worked it all in our heads because of a mass shooting that happened. Talked about society and how it affects psychology, and in doing so, we came to the conclusion that, well, because of how it affects psychology, somebody else is gonna see this. And then we're have a copycat killer. No time. The f****** day the episode went up, six hours later, another mass shooting happened.

Cristina: Unrelated.

Jack: Unrelated. In the exact specifications manifesto and everything. It was like, oh, crap, we need like an emergency.

Cristina: And then you recorded the emergency episode.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. It's just like this f*****. We did not tell this guy to do that. Yeah, but it could totally look to people like he heard the episode and then said some s***.

Cristina: Although that's not your fault if he did that. Do that. If he did hear the episode. Is that your fault? No, because it's not like you told him.

Jack: No, we were just over here theorizing and talking about s***. But you know, just to be. Just to be on the safer side.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And to also pat ourselves on the back for getting it right.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: There's a weird, like, well, this is a tragedy. But also we got it right.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So like, win, lose.

Cristina: Yes. Oh, we also predicted something about Jeff Bezos. He did it. I don't remember what it was about.

Jack: I don't either. We predicted a couple of things though, that did turn out true. I was listening to a clip on our Instagram recently of a conversation I was having with. Was I talking to. I don't remember, but I was actually predicting Biden.

Cristina: Biden winning.

Jack: Oh, I was talking to Aaron from a perspective podcast. I was predicting Biden winning without knowing Biden would even run. I knew somebody from the left would win by default. As I said in the clip. And I said that we would immediately start correcting things as a knee jerk reaction instead of thinking about it, which I said in the clip that we should be talking about. We should be electing Trump again so that we have four years to plan rather than elect somebody from the left who's immediately gonna force all the stupid ideas we had as solutions into law.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which is what's happening.

Cristina: Ah.

Jack: I predicted that. And it's taking place.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So, yeah. The reality.

Cristina: Yes. You see, we are the best. I don't know. Fortune tellers.

Jack: Yeah. We're really good at our jobs. That's why the Illuminati has us here.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: They don't have anybody else here. Anybody else would lie. Anybody else would bullshit. And the original versions of us weren't doing their jobs too well either.

Cristina: They were fine.

Jack: They were talking too much s*** about the Illuminati, I guess.

Cristina: It wasn't even me. It was you and Dave. I was just there, I guess.

Jack: But you weren't stopping us, I guess. So everybody got killed and here we are, the better versions.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So it is what it is. We're here thanks to their f*** ups. So, like, what's the argument anyways? If you guys want to discover all those things, that's what the Just Conversation podcast is really about. That was the history. That was all the things that we have done for five years.

Cristina: Five years.

Jack: You guys can go and see five years worth of narrative with a story. Adventures, Missions. We've gone on. Yes. Randomness. We've gone on missions for the Illuminati. We've gone on personal expeditions. We have run experiments. We confiscated a quantum computer. We have a time machine. I put people through h***.

Cristina: We.

Jack: All of it. It's all great.

Cristina: All of it's all great. Yeah.

Jack: And if you guys want this kind of stuff you want to find out, you can listen to the show. You can find it pretty much anywhere. You can find it on the official website, greatthoughts.info, or on Apple podcasts or on Spotify or anywhere you get your podcast.

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

Jack: Yes. And remember to subscribe and rate the show. And if you feel so inclined, you know, leave us a review.

Cristina: Let someone who might like this show know about it.

Jack: Yes. Word of mouth is the most important thing in the world. And if you know friends who want a lovely, chaotic, random story, you tell them, hey, I got some weird sci fi fantasy like documentary show for you. And you can. You can go.

Cristina: It's got everything.

Jack: It's got a little bit of everything.

Cristina: Even romance.

Jack: It does it literally has romance. There are episodes about relationships.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So, you know, tell them about it. Tell them you want to learn about everything. You want to learn about how your universe works the real way. Here's the Just Conversation podcast where they have conversations about those things.

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

Jack: Bye.

Cristina: Like, watching someone. Someone accept award for doing something great. That's kind of weird.

Jack: That's pretty weird.

Cristina: Like, they can get that at home. We don't have to watch them all live together.

Jack: I love award ceremonies.

Cristina: It's the weirdest.

Jack: It's so weird. We're there to watch somebody be given a trophy.

Cristina: Yes. It's like. And we do that in school, though. Like, the person who gets the best grades, honor roll the whole year, they're gonna get a little certificate paper on stage.

Jack: Yeah. You know, here's the thing. It programs us to want that movie star moment where we get the trophy on stage, because we've been taught over and over.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: To. You know, you're gonna go on stage. You're gonna do so well. You get to go on stage.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And people are gonna clap and they're gonna be happy for how well you did. And it's like, why do you need that validation?

Cristina: It's important.

Jack: But they're teaching us to want that validation.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: It's important for them that we need that validation.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: I guess that's kind of the programming, isn't it?

Cristina: We're being programmed.

Jack: We're being programmed because then they can control our behavior. We need the validation. And we only get the validation if we do the things that they've put in place. So we have to work to get the promotion. And if we get the promotion, everybody knows because we get promoted on site. This is now we're promoting this guy to do the thing now he's moving up in life. We want to congratulate him for his job well done. And you're like, yeah, I did it. But you're being essentially brainwashed to just follow the line and do the job. And you're gonna get rewarded if you do the job. Exactly. To the T that they told you to do the job.

Cristina: You have to. That's the most important part, that you.

Jack: Do what you're told.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's some f***** s***. That's crazy brainwashing.

Cristina: Yeah. But it's exactly what's happening in the military.

Jack: And not just the military. I'm talking about everything.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: A celebrity is essentially that.

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