Rambling 171: Conversation Soup 2
/
Bored, waiting for Steve’s training to finish in order to communicate with the clouds, the duo continues venturing and investigating all other manner of things as they do between big projects. This time they’re answering backlogged questions submitted by listeners!
+Transcript
Cristina: Warning. This program contains strong themes meant for a mature audience. Discretion is advised.
Jack: Going live in 5, 4.
Cristina: What does live mean?
Jack: Welcome to the Rambling Podcast, the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas and childish ways. I'm your host, Jack.
Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.
Jack: And if you haven't yet, remember to hit that subscribe button to get notified the second new episodes are released.
Cristina: Yeah. Also, this show is most enjoyable with a listening partner to share opinions and ideas on topics we discuss.
Jack: Yes. So get listening partners. The. The sum of the story is get listening partners. Because important.
Cristina: Cancer.
Jack: Yes. Cancer.
Cristina: Cancer. Gotta beware.
Jack: Yes. So today we have something different for you guys. Once in a while, you know, questions build up as people send s*** and it get completely ignored for sometimes years at a time.
Cristina: For years. Yeah.
Jack: So that gets backlogged and we ignore those listeners who totally go out of their way to send us a question that has nothing to do with what we asked them to send us a question about. And sometimes it's left over from other episodes that we couldn't get to as well.
Cristina: Mm.
Jack: And so we put these questions together for a sort of conversation soup of sorts.
Cristina: A Conversation Soup.
Jack: Wait, was that the original name of this? Right? It was Conversation Soup.
Cristina: I feel like we did have something called that. It was the questions.
Jack: Yeah, it was like. It was like season three or something, like really, really long ago.
Cristina: Conversation Soup. What's the conversation soup made out of? I guess that's my question.
Jack: Fair. So Conversation Soup. Random questions. And they are all sorts of questions, I suppose. And so this is, I guess, Conversation Soup. Whatever number comes after. Or whatever number we last did this. It could have been one, but it could have been two. So this could, in theory, be either two or three.
Cristina: Plus, we didn't name the first one. One. We just mentioned that it was Conversation Soup, but they didn't name it Conversation Soup.
Jack: I'm pretty sure it was called Conversation Soup.
Cristina: Okay.
Jack: But, yeah. So this is. Whatever that is. If it's not called Conversation Soup, then this is Conversation Soup. One. Whatever. So, yeah, we have a bunch of questions. We're gonna go through those and answer the things that people probably got angry and rage, quit the show, and they're just like, oh, how did they.
Cristina: No more questions.
Jack: Didn't get to my question. I'm never list again.
Cristina: Nah.
Jack: And like, we got to it. We just didn't get to when you wanted to. Oh.
Cristina: And then they died from that cancer. So they never got cancer. Yeah, they'll never know they'll never know. So the first question is, how do you believe mankind will end?
Jack: Will end.
Cristina: Will end.
Jack: Vague.
Cristina: Yes.
Jack: Is that like the apocalypse? Or like, just what's the extinction event? Or yeah, maybe do we evolve out of what we are and thus are no longer known as mankind? Unless mankind is the progression of what we are. So in tech, technically speaking, like, cave men were man. Like, that was still man even if they were not human.
Cristina: So we'll get rid of men, I guess. Yeah.
Jack: So, like, what time our species evolutionary line ceases, is the question. What time? Like, how will Earth end?
Cristina: No, just us.
Jack: Just us.
Cristina: Just us.
Jack: Computers.
Cristina: Computers.
Jack: It has to be the singularity.
Cristina: You don't think bombs will do it?
Jack: I mean, like, it's possible at any moment. Like, million wars going on throughout the planet. Anybody could hit a button at any given second and just like everybody else panics and presses their button too, and there's just nothing but nukes mad happen.
Cristina: Will there be that many? Like, will that ever be a thing, though, do you think?
Jack: Yes, there's enough.
Cristina: But, like, maybe just one person says it. Would everyone automatically send theirs just because one person did?
Jack: Yes. It's pretty simple. Let's say we're the United States, okay. And somebody, let's say Russia, Mm. Presses the button and aims their nukes at our country.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: We're gonna be like, well, they hit the button, what are we gonna do? I guess we all just die. No, no, we're hitting the button and f****** them up back.
Cristina: Yes. But then that wouldn't destroy the world, would it? If it was just that event, would everyone else go crazy and be like, okay, now we gotta press the button?
Jack: Well, you're totally missing the fact that no country is just a country on its own. Everybody has allies and teammates.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: And, oh, they send nukes to this country. We're gonna support our homies because all our other homies are gonna judge us if we don't hop in and defend them. So I gotta send that place, too. But then that place got more nukes, and they're sending it our way, and before you know it, I'm sending them. They're sending us. We're sending them.
Cristina: Okay? So they're not really just sending it to each other, but to other people that are their homies.
Jack: Russia sends it to us. Yes, we send it to Russia.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Our homies to support us because we're about to cease existing, send it to Russia. So Russia sends them some too. Their homies start sending it to the same people that jumped in out of nowhere, cuz you're not gonna jump. Russia, that's our homie. It was one on one and now you turned it into two on one. Okay. Now it's two on two. Before you know it, everybody starts getting sucked in. But now the air is gonna be f*****. And it's like.
Cristina: How many bombs would it take, though?
Jack: A lot.
Cristina: A lot?
Jack: Like, no, many, many.
Cristina: I don't know, like a hundred five?
Jack: There are. Well, I don't think the amount of. Yeah, f***, it's f*****. There are more bombs that could clear out a city than there are cities to be cleared out.
Cristina: Ah, so there's no safe.
Jack: Yeah, like the major random islands, the major Earth cities. Well, no, it doesn't matter because the major Earth cities are going to be hit. That's giant population. Metropolitan areas. Metropolitan areas. They're all. They're all f***** up.
Cristina: Mm.
Jack: The bombs are gonna land there, take those people out. They're super duper, mega, ultra f*****. Right. So we take out the major cities and then the radiation and cloud that goes up and starts to poison the air surrounding as fallout happens.
Cristina: Okay. That's what's killing off everyone. Okay.
Jack: So then that starts happening to the regions that the bomb didn't hit. So we clear London. Everything around London is f***** because the fallout that follows. Yeah, but we did this everywhere. Everywhere.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: So even if we didn't hit all the places, the collective amount of fallout is like if a super volcano went off and filled the air.
Cristina: So that would kill everyone.
Jack: It could. There are more nukes than there are cities for nukes to hit.
Cristina: Mm.
Jack: That's. That's where we are.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: So that the destruction it would cause would clear out humanity. Actually, that would destroy the Earth.
Cristina: That would destroy the Earth.
Jack: So nukes are what would do it. If we're talking about a scenario where just humanity leaves Computers.
Cristina: Computers, yeah, but everything nukes. Okay.
Jack: Yeah. That would be the end of the world with nukes.
Cristina: Okay, and let's go to the next question. We learned we're in a simulation. What's an obvious clue in hindsight?
Jack: Trump.
Cristina: What do you mean?
Jack: Trump happened.
Cristina: Trump happened.
Jack: Trump happened.
Cristina: That is a President Trump or even before President Trump. Just Trump before President Trump. Always no President Trump. Okay.
Jack: The fact that that happened, that is a giant clue. This is the matrix.
Cristina: Why, that's nothing matrixy about that.
Jack: What do you mean some random nobody came out of nowhere and became one of the most, literally the most important person on Earth?
Cristina: He had enough fans. I don't know. That's pretty crazy. Unless you believe that those politicians really like made it possible for him.
Jack: NASA releases three videos that they previously confiscated and said we're going to evaluate. They set it out and said probably aliens. We don't know what the f*** it is. It's not Earth. And then we just like kept moving. Cuz Trump.
Cristina: Ah.
Jack: That's how you know Trump is the glitch.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Because like everything else cup was kind of broken by default.
Jack: I guess we have a bunch of people sooner watching George Floyd slowly fade away with their cameras aimed at him. Angry that it's happening. Way more people that can easily outnumber those cops and save his life.
Cristina: Yes.
Jack: But we just kind of stood there and watched him die.
Cristina: So you think Trump.
Jack: Yeah.
Cristina: What about natural things like the set, the Bemuda Triangle? You don't think that's a glitch?
Jack: That could totally be a glitch. That's an interesting point. The Bermuda Triangle have always been a glitch. It's just everything breaks defragments as it goes through it.
Cristina: Yeah. Like there was a story I heard recently where someone was flying through and it somehow. Somehow space traveled to where they were meant to go.
Jack: Somehow that is one of.
Cristina: Or time traveled, I guess.
Jack: Many, many stories identical to that one of time traveling. Yeah. The most frequent two things that are reported from there are one things just disappear.
Cristina: Yes. That's the most stories are not the most. Really?
Jack: Yes. Less things disappear than time travel.
Cristina: Whoa.
Jack: Oftentimes people report seeing a round cloud. Like a perfectly round spherical looking cloud. It's all the same text. A cloud. Except it's perfectly round. And within the time that they go in through the cloud and out the other side, they shave more than half of their time from one point to the other.
Cristina: Interesting. I only hear one story like that.
Jack: No, there's a plethora. The Bermuda Triangle is actually, we should investigate the Bermuda Triangle.
Cristina: Yes. Okay. Yes, we gotta do that.
Jack: That is a very interesting thing that happens in the universe. I'm not sure what the f*** the Bermuda Triangle is, but if anything's a glitch, that's a glitch.
Cristina: That's. And Donald Trump.
Jack: Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a weird. Or he's a product of the Matrix f****** up.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Maybe he's Neo. He's the necessity.
Cristina: He's Neo. That would be crazy. Okay.
Jack: He could. I mean people already think it's like Jesus.
Cristina: Yeah. So him being Neo is also makes sense.
Jack: Well, Neo's Jesus.
Cristina: Yeah. That's why it makes sense. Yeah. It's the same Guy. The next question is, if you could be any monster, which monster would you choose?
Jack: Jesus Christ. This is why these questions? So, like, they get left in the back. Cuz, like, Jesus, some people.
Cristina: A monster?
Jack: I don't know. He's a vampire.
Cristina: He's a vampire.
Jack: It's a vampire monster.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Why?
Cristina: I feel like originally they were seen as monsters, but they're really just people. They're just people, like overpowered people with disease or something. I don't know. Some mutation, I guess.
Jack: Adrenochrome.
Cristina: Adrenochrome? Yeah.
Jack: Yeah. Just. Just a person.
Cristina: Yeah. So I can't choose a vampire?
Jack: I mean, can you?
Cristina: I don't think so. Anyone who drinks blood can't count.
Jack: So then nothing counts. Most things are based off of adrenochrome.
Cristina: No. Vampire, werewolves. Doesn't count. Crap. Block. Ness Monster is a monster.
Jack: Interesting. Well, that's a Chimera, but it's not based off of Adrenochrome.
Cristina: So, chimeras, all of them?
Jack: No, because there's many different kinds. Chimera isn't a creature.
Cristina: I know, but. No, I'm saying those are optionals. Like, if you can think of one of those that could be the monster.
Jack: Oh, yeah.
Cristina: Because those are types of monsters that are non adrenochrome based.
Jack: It doesn't have to be monster. Chimera is anything that's two things put together.
Cristina: Oh, okay. I don't want to be that, though. That sounds bad.
Jack: What, the Loch Ness monster?
Cristina: No, a Chimera.
Jack: I mean, it depends how it plays out, I guess. What about a cat girl?
Cristina: Cat girl? That's too. That does not look like a monster. I mean, most people's imagination of cat girls.
Jack: Well, no, I'm just saying being a Chimera isn't bad.
Cristina: Oh, okay. Yeah. No. So what would you be?
Jack: I wouldn't be.
Cristina: You wouldn't be a monster.
Jack: Awful. I wouldn't be a monster. I would want to be me where I can think clearly.
Cristina: Oh, okay. If you had to be.
Jack: If I had to be a monster?
Cristina: Yes.
Jack: I don't know. Monsters suck.
Cristina: Monsters suck. The vampire would be the perfect choice if.
Jack: But it's not a monster.
Cristina: I know. I guess. I don't know. Some type of wolf creature? I don't know.
Jack: Pass.
Cristina: Pass. Okay, next question is, have you ever gone down a Google rabbit hole that turned out not safe for work? What was it?
Jack: Most of my Google rabbit holes are not safe for work. Everything turns into some other s***. Curiosity takes me through the darkest places and Everything leads to the same f****** roads. Everybody's talking about Hitler and. Or sex.
Cristina: Do you remember the last thing, though?
Jack: No.
Cristina: No.
Jack: But I do know that everything.
Cristina: Everything, everything.
Jack: Everything you Google if you go down deep enough. Everything.
Cristina: Yeah. Let's see. I don't know. I wish I could think of something, but I can't. So I have no answer for this.
Jack: No answer. I'm trying to think of what I've researched, but this is like, hey, man, what's the funniest thing you've ever heard? Like, I don't f****** know, bro. Why the h*** would I know the answer to that on the spot?
Cristina: No. Too much peer pressure. I don't know.
Jack: Yeah. No. Any question that's trying to recall a specific something is like. Really that. I see why these questions don't. Yeah. It's such a waste of time. I don't. I see why these didn't make it.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Because this is useless garbage. Questions that. It's like. Okay. And I got a waste episode time here thinking about some specific s*** that I don't have any f******. Like what, Dude? Come up with a better question.
Cristina: Yeah, there's a lot of trash, but we'll find some gold in here. We will. We just haven't gotten to it yet.
Jack: Yeah.
Cristina: The next question is, when is saying bigger is better not true.
Jack: When is saying bigger is better not true? If you have a huge d***.
Cristina: What?
Jack: You are called the cervix destroyer and you cause more pain than anything. Not necessarily. Because the body will adjust. That's not really true. It's using it poorly when it's big. A lot of guys are like, my d*** is big. So as a result, I don't need to know how to use it. But then you just go straight in and you f****** hammer time that s***.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: And you didn't take it slow to allow lubricant to build up and be able to allow the body and the v***** to adapt. So then you're just causing pain. It's friction.
Cristina: Mm.
Jack: As opposed to slow first and slowly build up so that the lubricant then slowly allows your oversized d*** to fit properly and feel good as opposed to just be some jackhammer.
Cristina: So then it's not. That's not a big.
Jack: So it's not a really good example. No.
Cristina: A tumor.
Jack: A tumor. Interesting. Bigger is not better with a tumor.
Cristina: Maybe. Yes, Definitely. Definitely.
Jack: I don't know why maybe was part of that. Definitely.
Cristina: For sure. That would be. That's. I don't know what could be worse than that.
Jack: Hunger.
Cristina: Hunger.
Jack: Bigger hunger is not better. Hunger.
Cristina: Mm.
Jack: Let's see. Poverty. I mean, I guess anything negative.
Cristina: Wow.
Jack: The bigger the poverty, the better.
Cristina: No nails. I don't know, nails. Like fingernails. Like those people with nails. Crazy fingernails. Like, I don't know how they live. I mean, they figure it out, but it can't be better. Can't be better than having normal, Normal size fingernails.
Jack: The people who have like three foot fingernails.
Cristina: Yes.
Jack: Okay. Yeah. hair. Hair gets annoying the longer it gets.
Cristina: Ah, yeah.
Jack: Like, bigger isn't better. There's like a cutoff point where it's like, oh, it looks better. Looks better. Looks better. Like it doesn't matter how good it looks now because now it's an inconvenience.
Cristina: Okay. And I've heard b****. Yeah.
Jack: Back problems.
Cristina: Yeah, back problems.
Jack: You can cross a certain point and just have back problems.
Cristina: Mm I think those are some good answers.
Jack: Yeah.
Cristina: Okay. The next question is, what do you believe happens after we die?
Jack: We can't.
Cristina: We can't die.
Jack: I believe you always go to whatever version of you seamlessly transition to whatever version of the event you didn't die in.
Cristina: Yes.
Jack: Every time. So you don't even realize you just died and moved here. It was so seamless that you just think you. You've been here the whole time.
Cristina: Yes. There's a version of you that probably dies. You're just not that version.
Jack: Yeah. Because you can't perceive nothingness and you can't perceive death. Yeah, that doesn't make sense. Also, science suggests the idea that there's way many universes, and not only that they overlap. And then we use metaphilosophy. Metaphilosophy. To determine that we share consciousness and everything is equal. So whatever died shares the same consciousness as whatever kept going. So it makes sense that the same consciousness would move from one to the other. So we know. Science suggests that there's multiple universes facing exactly identical situations, and some that are facing incrementally different, you just move to one of those incrementally different where you did not die, and the same consciousness got moved there. So you see seamless transition, and everything moves forward as though nothing ever happened.
Cristina: So you'll never die, but you'll always see other people die.
Jack: Yes, always plays out exactly. Because you're seeing them die, but not seeing them go into the seamless transition where they continue.
Cristina: Mm.
Jack: You can only see your seamless transition to continue and never witness your own death. You can only witness everybody else's death. It's similar to how Time works, Right? You can always look back and move forward, but you can never move back and look forward.
Cristina: You can never say that again.
Jack: You can always look back. You can see the past.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: But you can never see the future.
Cristina: Okay.
Jack: But you can never travel to the past. You can only travel to the future.
Cristina: Yes.
Jack: That pro. That locked in problem applies with death, in which you can never see your own death, but you can always see someone else's death.
Cristina: Mm.
Jack: So you just live long enough to be the only immortal. But everybody goes through that too.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: They just happen to go through that in their own perception.
Cristina: I wonder what that really means, though. Like, is there. Does reality just change around them too? Eventually, once you're. You feel like you've made it 200 years gradually or something.
Jack: Gradually. It's so slow that you never notice it happened.
Cristina: Okay. You.
Jack: Where were you before you were born?
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: It fuzzes out the further back.
Cristina: You think, like, there's a certain point you forget your age or something.
Jack: Yeah. There's a certain point where you don't even really have memories of.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: And forward. It works the same way. You keep moving forward. And you see old people at their deathbed and they're. I'm ready. Ready for what? I'm ready to go. Go where was. Because their transition has been happening. Their memories have been slowly falling apart to strip away all the crap that can't cross over.
Cristina: Okay.
Jack: And it's slow and gradual and casual. And like, slowly you start. Before long, everybody around you has died. And you feel like, oh, I'm always close, but I'm never there. And eventually you're sick and your body is hurting and it's on the edge and casually see but never enter some sort of other place. And you see it. You become familiar with it. It's no longer scary. You see the place occasionally. I see. Eventually I'm gonna get there.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: And you're still perceiving when the transition happens. The lights go out on this side. Not really. You see the light start to fade behind you. It's. Everything is getting dark in front of you. In front of you. But you see a little dot before it goes fully black. Little thought way the f*** down there. Who the f*** knows how far that is? But I see it.
Cristina: And now enter a new room. Something like.
Jack: Yeah, Something.
Cristina: We don't know what that is. Yeah.
Jack: Yeah. You enter some new something.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: And you. It never went all black. It never ceased being.
Cristina: Mm. You.
Jack: Just. Before it's all gone, you still kind of see the dot in the Middle of everything else. Maybe you don't even stop seeing the room you're in. You're in your deathbed on a hospital. In a hospital bed. Right. Looking at the ceiling. You're looking at the ceiling. And in the ceiling, little dot starts to form. And the dockets brighter and brighter and brighter. And as it becomes maybe half of the room directly on top of you, like, oh, s***, it's most of the room now. You start to see things inside of that light that has nothing. It's like looking into a black hole and seeing what's inside of it as opposed to seeing nothing. And it's like. It's a weird break in symmetry where what's outside doesn't match what's inside, but you see something inside and it's like, well, that's a different something. Yeah, but I'm falling into that something no matter what.
Cristina: Mm.
Jack: So the light just keeps falling onto you, slowly increasing and taking over everything around you until the light lands on you. But as it got closer, you kept seeing things inside the light. So you never stopped seeing things.
Cristina: No.
Jack: But now you don't necessarily know what these things are. You have to just learn how to navigate this new space. But you never had a cut in perception.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: You're just here now.
Cristina: So you just. You just don't die.
Jack: You just don't die. You just keep moving through to the.
Cristina: Next thing, moving on.
Jack: That's what I believe happens. What about you?
Cristina: I really like that. I think so, too. I'm getting used to the idea. It's really cool. I like it. I don't really have, I guess, a belief of what's after. I just try not to be scared of whatever it is.
Jack: I mean, it's weird to be scared of it because it's inevitable.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: What a waste of energy.
Cristina: Exactly. Except I can't help it. So. Yeah. I like that idea, though, a lot.
Jack: Just moving through infinity.
Cristina: Mm.
Jack: Yeah, that makes sense to me. What else would there be?
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: We are every. We're the same space, thus. Right.
Cristina: It's impossible to imagine death. Death. It's impossible to imagine nothing.
Jack: Yeah, that's the problem. Like, we did exist as a cell or whatever, but, like. I can't recall that. I can tell you it was a fact. I can't recall it happening.
Cristina: Yeah. So it's hard to imagine that that's. That could be a thing.
Jack: Yeah. It doesn't make sense that it would be.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Because you couldn't perceive nothing. It's impossible.
Cristina: It's impossible. I don't know, it's so weird. I don't know. It's. It's a really strange idea to perceive nothing.
Jack: Right.
Cristina: Think about. Yeah.
Jack: A weird one.
Cristina: So just so that what you're saying makes so much sense, because it is something I can see and think of.
Jack: Yeah. We can visualize a transition happening.
Cristina: Yeah. It feels more possible that way, though.
Jack: It's not only that. It feels more possible. Everything suggests. That's how it works.
Cristina: Mm.
Jack: People who say, oh, it's just blackness after death. Well, no, that's religion.
Cristina: That's religion. Yeah.
Jack: You're talking religion. You're. Even the math tells you otherwise. Can look at something simple like string theory that allows all the other forms of science to function within it. And it suggests that there has to be a continuation. There's an infinite number of. There's an infinite number of things, and you are all those things simultaneously, but also not.
Cristina: Yeah. So there has to be something.
Jack: There has to be something. It keeps going.
Cristina: Yeah, it has to. It has to. I don't know.
Jack: It has to be.
Cristina: There's no other way. I don't know. It doesn't make sense.
Jack: Yeah. And the fact that we are all made out of the same stardust literally means the matter that began is the matter that we all share, which is no different than saying that there is a global consciousness that generated all that is because we are different bits of that same thing. So, yes, everything checks out.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: That. Yeah. There. It will continue.
Cristina: It will. Yeah, I think so. I like that. And the next question is, what do you think is the best smell on Earth?
Jack: 65 degrees, 70 degrees? Maybe spring, right as it starts to rain.
Cristina: What, that cold?
Jack: Not even cold. That, like, nice breezy spring rain scent.
Cristina: Spring rain scent. Yes.
Jack: That's the best smell ever.
Cristina: That is a pretty good smell. I was just thinking of food.
Jack: Most people did.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Anybody hearing this immediately thought food.
Cristina: Yeah. Whatever is the strongest smell in food. I don't know. Pizza.
Jack: That's disgusting.
Cristina: Don't like the smell of the pizza.
Jack: Doesn't smell good. Pizza looks like vomit. And it.
Cristina: I like the smell of coffee.
Jack: Coffee smells so good.
Cristina: So.
Jack: Well, it depends on the coffee. Strong coffee, strong coffee. Strong coffee smells good.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Oh, yeah.
Cristina: The flowers. I don't really smell flowers. Like, if you gave me a flower to smell, I really wouldn't smell much from it. I don't know.
Jack: You'd smell it once, put it in a f****** vase and walk away forever.
Cristina: Yeah. I don't know.
Jack: Throw it away once it died.
Cristina: Oregano. I like the smell of oregano. Herbs. I guess they have stronger smells. Yeah, sure they're unique enough.
Jack: No, I guess that falls with food to some degree.
Cristina: Oh, yes. Food. Food wins. And what did you say?
Jack: Spring rain.
Cristina: Spring rain. Mmm. Trying to think of that smell. I don't know.
Jack: I vividly can just immediately catch it. Just thinking about it.
Cristina: I guess what I think of is, like, just damp, smelly, wet.
Jack: No, you're thinking like a hot, hot day. Rain.
Cristina: That sucks. Oh, that's a bad smell.
Jack: Yeah.
Cristina: That's cool. The next question is, imagine that you are at a funeral and there is a moment of silence. What is the worst ringtone to start playing during the silence?
Jack: The worst ringtone to stop start playing at a funeral in a moment of total and complete silence. Let me see.
Cristina: I think of, like, really bad songs that I just hate and, like, it will. Like, after you turn it off, it will still be in everyone's head. So ruin the moment.
Jack: No, I don't think that's good enough. I think it has to be just something that's highly inappropriate for the circumstance specifically.
Cristina: Oh, so that I'm a Barbie girl can't count. Because I feel like.
Jack: Like, that's annoying.
Cristina: But it's so annoying.
Jack: No, it has to be something like.
Cristina: Like when Ken is singing. Oh, so gross.
Jack: No, I'm thinking, like, I like little girls.
Cristina: The theme song. Oh, my gosh.
Jack: No. Like a song about being happy to be dead or something.
Cristina: You know, being happy to be dead. Or maybe Lil Wayne's funeral song.
Jack: Oh, my God. Perfect. You see, that's what I mean. Funeral by Lil Wayne. Perfect.
Cristina: Yeah, that'd be respectful.
Jack: Last song.
Cristina: Yeah, that would probably not be great at a funeral.
Jack: No, but that would be lovely timing and disturbing. Especially if you're, like, struggling to turn it off. And a couple of those worst lyrics get in there.
Cristina: Yes.
Jack: Ooh. Yes. Little Wayne.
Cristina: Sounds like you, like, hate this dead person.
Jack: Yes.
Cristina: What. What's Lil Wayne's problem?
Jack: Lil Wayne likes murder.
Cristina: I guess that's. That's the worst funeral. At least that's not actually happening. But that funeral is the worst that he depicts. Yes.
Jack: Where he just shows up at the funeral to kill the people at the funeral.
Cristina: Mm.
Jack: Great.
Cristina: Talking to the dead body, I think, while he's doing all this. I don't know.
Jack: Yeah. Talking to dead body. Mocking it in front of his family.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Beautiful.
Cristina: It's beautiful and violent.
Jack: Yes. A great way to open an album.
Cristina: The next question is, what is a popular show that everyone loved but you don't like and why Dexter? Dexter. Because. Really?
Jack: Garbage.
Cristina: It's garbage.
Jack: Yes. Total garbage. It's a stupid buddy cop.
Cristina: He has nobody. It's just him.
Jack: He has that horse face lady or some s***.
Cristina: That's a sister. She's a cop. After him, probably. I don't remember, but whatever.
Jack: Yeah, it's like, but I'm a cop.
Cristina: Whatever.
Jack: And it's like, okay. And then they play off all the stereotypes. It's so misinformed. Like, they clearly did not insult anybody who is a psychopath about this. They just decided psychopath means you kill people.
Cristina: You is about Rion likes you.
Jack: You isn't about a psychopath.
Cristina: I'm pretty sure it is. He doesn't. He kill people.
Jack: That doesn't make you. Again, you just did the.
Cristina: No, but he acts the same exact way as Dexter.
Jack: What do you mean he acts the same way as Dexter?
Cristina: Whatever stereotypical guy you're talking about.
Jack: Right. But that is not a psychopath. That is exactly my point. Neither one of those two people are psychopaths.
Cristina: Exactly.
Jack: Those are both pretty bad shows.
Cristina: Yeah. Okay.
Jack: I don't. I don't see your point.
Cristina: No point. They're both bad. Okay.
Jack: Yeah, they're both bad. They're. They're misinformed. They're playing off of a stereotype that reinforces an incorrect assumption. Most psychopaths are actually functional people. Most crimes and murders are crimes of passion, which means you're feeling particular emotion and doing it as opposed to feeling less emotion. Which is what psychopathy is.
Cristina: Yes.
Jack: So it's the literal opposite of what's going on. Not only that, but then people praise the psychopath when in reality, you'd be horrified of a guy who's just out there murdering people soullessly.
Cristina: That is horrifying. Yes.
Jack: And then it's vague where he lands on the serial killer ness of himself. Because he's more of a mass murderer than he is a serial killer. Because he's not like picking a specific subject other than, well, they were already gonna go to jail or something like that. Because he just has an urge to kill.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: So he's satisfying an emotional need. Not only. But it's not a serial killer because he's picking them based on some specific profile other than the fact that they are criminals, which he didn't even do by choice. He was taught to do that as a way to channel the thing. Which is totally counter what a serial killer is. That is motivated to kill a specific type of person.
Cristina: Yes. Okay, so it's not realistic at all.
Jack: It's so Many holes. It's the most broken s*** I have ever seen and praised so heavily. But it's like if you praise the show, then you basically walked in without knowing anything about anything, assumed everything they told you was accurate, when it's all playing on stereotypes that are actually kind of offensive. Because most times psychopaths are kind of good people who are contributing heavily to society because they have the ability to not feel anything and get the job that other people that feel too much can't get done. Okay, so you're like giving good people.
Cristina: A bad name, giving psychopaths a bad name.
Jack: Yeah, because people with emotions are the f******. Those are the people who are out here murdering each other because of feelings. Oh, she Cheated on me Killer.
Cristina: They have plenty of shoals for that too, though.
Jack: Yeah, but that's. That's the right way. Most murderers are people, you know.
Cristina: Yeah. I'm trying to think of a show that I love. I guess a show that I didn't love until I watched it, and then I realized it was a great show was Dragon Ball Z.
Jack: That's crazy. Why didn't you like it?
Cristina: I just thought I wasn't gonna like it because it was about, I don't know, fighting. I don't know. I didn't know there was a story and how interesting that story was. The story is actually really interesting.
Jack: Yeah, it's like an absurdist comedy.
Cristina: Yes. And I didn't know that. I just saw. Oh, they. I don't care.
Jack: They do. That's like 99% of what happens.
Cristina: It is, but it's not. I guess the 10% really makes it special, though.
Jack: That 1%.
Cristina: That 1%. Yes. Oh, it's 1. Oh, yeah. You said 99. Okay, I heard 90. Oh, but yes. That 1% makes the show special.
Jack: It does. It's just this comedy in which all the dumbest s*** threatens the world.
Cristina: I don't like Goku, though.
Jack: Why?
Cristina: I just don't. He's. His personality sucks. He just sucks as a character. I don't care for him. I like everyone else. I don't care for Goku.
Jack: Goku's awesome. I don't have a problem with Goku.
Cristina: Goku's lame. I can't stand him.
Jack: What? Describe to me what you don't like about Goku.
Cristina: He's dead inside.
Jack: What do you mean?
Cristina: Oh, no, he's just the worst. He's just. There's nothing going on. There's nothing going on?
Jack: What do you mean there's nothing going on?
Cristina: He's just elaborate he does wants. He just wants to fight. I don't know. You can't have a conversation with him.
Jack: Yeah, you can.
Cristina: You can. I don't remember anyone talking to him about anything ever.
Jack: He talks about many things. He talks about his family. Talks about food.
Cristina: He talks about fighting like a big part of his life.
Jack: Talks about all the different mentors he's had through training. He talks about Otherworld. He talks about how interesting some of the bad guys who are now good guys are.
Cristina: I guess he just sounds really dumb though.
Jack: Because he's easygoing.
Cristina: He's.
Jack: That he's not by any means serious about anything.
Cristina: He's so like, easygoing. I guess that.
Jack: Yeah. He's unfazed by anything.
Cristina: He sounds like a child sometimes.
Jack: Yeah. He approaches the world with wonder. He's who we should all aspire to be. Just enjoying everything at all times. Fully present.
Cristina: Piccolo. But he probably. I don't know. He's always present. I wouldn't say he's enjoying everything. I don't. I think he hates everything present.
Jack: He's definitely present. I think he hates everything.
Cristina: He's definitely cooler too.
Jack: Yeah. Pickle is cool as h***.
Cristina: I don't know. I like every character more. No.
Jack: No. Goes pretty badass. Goku. He's very monk like in that he's present. And he's the embodiment of what like Alan Watts wants. Which is. Stop worrying. Just.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Just be in the moment. Enjoy what's here. Why stress about the later? Somebody who spends all the time thinking is only thinking about thoughts. As opposed to living life and experiencing life for what it is.
Cristina: But you can't be your top character. Right? Like there's so many awesome characters.
Jack: Android 17 wins.
Cristina: Exactly. And 16's grade two. Is that the other one? 18. Oh, okay. 18. What's Goku's frenemy?
Jack: Vegeta.
Cristina: Vegeta. Vegeta. But also Frieza.
Jack: Frieza is one of the greatest villains of all time.
Cristina: Exactly. Like so many good characters. You wouldn't put Goku on your number one or two.
Jack: No. I think. No. He. I don't even think he cuts the top five. But he's not a bad character.
Cristina: He's. He's pretty lame.
Jack: He's great. He is who Alan Watts talks of.
Cristina: I still don't like him. I don't know.
Jack: So you don't like Alan Watts? His ideal human?
Cristina: No. No I don't. So. But Dragon Ball Z. Fine show. It's not the answer to this question. But it's the answer to A different question. Yes. Well, now you know, though. The next question is, what fictional villain is your favorite?
Jack: Frieza.
Cristina: Frieza. Of all the feelings, here's the problem.
Jack: It depends, because are we saying villain as opposed to antagonist? That's the. The question here. Because antagonist is the guy who's against the good guy or the main character. Villain is the bad guy, and bad in what way?
Cristina: Because I really like Marty from Ozark. But he's a bad guy. Like, does he count?
Jack: He's a villain.
Cristina: Yeah, he's a villain.
Jack: He's a villain of that world. But he's the protagonist at the same time.
Cristina: He is.
Jack: But everybody there is a villain.
Cristina: Everyone's a villain. Yes, that's true. So. So can I pick him, though?
Jack: Marty is a great villain. Yes. As is Heisenberg.
Cristina: Yes.
Jack: As is Frieza and Vegeta and piccolo. And 17 and 18.
Cristina: Okay. There's a lot of characters in Dragon Ball.
Jack: Albert. Wesker.
Cristina: Albert Wesker.
Jack: Silco.
Cristina: Silco.
Jack: Joel.
Cristina: Oh, Joel. Interesting choice. What? It's hard to see Joel as a villain. Oh, yeah.
Jack: Abby.
Cristina: Abby. I think Abby's my favorite.
Jack: Big Boss.
Cristina: Big Boss. Liquid Snake.
Jack: There's too many. There's really good villains out there. The Joker, Harley Quinn.
Cristina: But your favorites.
Jack: My favorite. Okay. I think when we're talking villains, we gotta take away people who are just antagonists. This is exactly what I mean. If you're just an antagonist, the guy antagonizing the good guy, we take you out. You have to be evil. Actually evil, not just doing it for survival. That means no, Joel.
Cristina: Marty.
Jack: That means no Marty. Well, Marty doesn't do it for survival. Marty could exit whenever he wants. Really? Really. If you can get the f****** leader of the cartel off at any given moment, then maybe you, who are way less important, can get yourself off way easier.
Cristina: Oh, yeah, but in his world.
Jack: In his world, no. He's bullshitting. He's like Heisenberg. I'm doing it for my family. But yeah, you like it.
Cristina: Okay, so they both still stay well.
Jack: He has an excuse at the end of the day. Wesker. Albert Wesker. From Resident Evil. Frieza.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: From Dragon Ball Z. Those are two people who do bad and enjoy doing bad.
Cristina: I like Frieza.
Jack: I would say Joker, but Joker is not a villain as much as people try to paint him. He's the hero of the city. He's trying to show people he's the antagonist for sure. He's trying to show people the city's broken.
Cristina: Mm.
Jack: City's broken. And you're all letting it stay broken. You guys are the problem.
Cristina: The biggest criminal is Batman.
Jack: The biggest. Yes. Camming everybody. Yeah, he kind of is. He's a hypocrite.
Cristina: Yeah, for sure. And he's just murdering random people, breaking.
Jack: Limbs, kicking people off of buildings and s***. I don't murder. No, you don't watch people die. I think those are two different things, bro.
Cristina: That should be the thing.
Jack: Yeah. I never stay to find out.
Cristina: Yeah, that's more true.
Jack: Because, like, you. You kick somebody off a building, bro, I assure you, you killed somebody.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: It doesn't matter what you tell yourself.
Cristina: Are we counting him as a villain?
Jack: No, he's not even a good villain. If he were, yeah, some delusional moron.
Cristina: Okay. But Joker doesn't count.
Jack: Joker doesn't count because he's not really bad. He's neutral. He's chaotic neutral.
Cristina: Does Harley count more or is she?
Jack: No, because she's just following Joker. He could decide to do good and she'd follow him.
Cristina: Oh, okay.
Jack: Her obsession is Joker. Joker's obsession is Batman. If Batman were the bad guy, joke would be the good guy.
Cristina: He doesn't care, okay?
Jack: He's just trying to do whatever opposite of whatever's there. He doesn't. There's no need to do evil. Wesker loves power. Loves to harm people for it. He'll do whatever for that power. Gladly. He won't even flinch. All power. Yes.
Cristina: Yes.
Jack: Frieza doesn't even have a motivation. Just not like killing. S***.
Cristina: He definitely does destroy the planet.
Jack: Why? I don't know. Cuz I can.
Cristina: Mm. Man. He's a good one. Grr.
Jack: I think Frieza is the most villainy villain. Frieza. And Heisenberg, after he admits to himself, it's.
Cristina: For him, yes.
Jack: Pretty hardcore villain. Because Marty is not necessarily evil.
Cristina: No.
Jack: He's like. He doesn't kill if he doesn't have to, you know, he'll restrain himself. While Heisenberg poisoned a f****** kid, bro.
Cristina: Yeah, like, you know. Yeah. Mike hasn't done anything like that.
Jack: Gus. Oh, Gus is a crazy bad guy.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: But he's lawful evil.
Cristina: He still counts.
Jack: He still counts.
Cristina: Okay.
Jack: But I think Heisenberg is more on par with Frieza.
Cristina: I think Gus over Heisenberg. Heisenberg. Yeah, I think so. At least for me. Yeah.
Jack: Because Heisenberg is chaotic evil.
Cristina: Yeah. He's too chaotic for me, I guess.
Jack: So Chaotic. He's kind of unpredictable at times.
Cristina: Thing you need for a villain, I guess.
Jack: But yeah, that's actually why he beat Gus.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Because Gus could not predict him at every turn. And Gus is a calculated man. I think Gus vs Marty from Ozark is a closer matchup than Heisenberg vs Marty. Because 1. Marty's gonna sidestep Heisenberg like nobody's business.
Cristina: He deals with wild cards all the time.
Jack: He. Everybody but him is a wild card.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: It's a world in which nothing but wild card exists.
Cristina: Yes.
Jack: And he handles all of them.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: So he could easily deal with Heisenberg. I think the most interesting chess match is Gus versus Marty. I would argue Marty would still come on top.
Cristina: Yes. When it comes to evil, I mean, to. For villains, do aliens count or does that. Because that's more survival. So it doesn't matter.
Jack: Yeah. It depends on the alien. Right. If it's, like, nice, like, xenomorph isn't evil.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: And the predators. No. It's your culture.
Cristina: There's their culture to hunt.
Jack: Yeah. So there's, like, a reason and motivation that isn't malice.
Cristina: Okay. So I can't pick it.
Jack: I think Frieza is the most ultimately evil thing in the universe.
Cristina: Yes. Yes. I think Frieza wins.
Jack: I think Frieza wins. And not only that, he's a snarky bro.
Cristina: He's got a great personality.
Jack: Great personality. Witty. Oh, he's. That. He's an old lady.
Cristina: Yes.
Jack: That's just too smart for everybody in the room and a total b**** and just everything sounds like a comment and an insult at the same time. So you don't even know if you were, like, f****** insulted or, like, backhanded or what. Yeah.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: It's crazy.
Cristina: Okay. Yeah. He's number one, but Marty's still up.
Jack: There for me, Marty's pretty good. Marty's an overpowered villain.
Cristina: Like, he's just. He's just over. He's just. I don't know. He's too much. He's too much. But. All right. Those are our picks, I guess. Or I guess Frieza wins.
Jack: So Frieza. I think Frieza. Yeah.
Cristina: The next question is, what is something that you can't disprove?
Jack: Something you can't disprove?
Cristina: Yes.
Jack: There's a God. There is no God.
Cristina: You can't disprove either of those statements.
Jack: I can't disprove either of those statements. There's life after death. There's nothing after death. Death is real. There is no death.
Cristina: Yes. Wow. Okay. There's a lot of.
Jack: There are atoms.
Cristina: That's not a thing. That's real.
Jack: No. It's. I mean, it's atomic theory. There are atoms. There are no atoms.
Jack: I am thinking.
Cristina: You're definitely thinking. No. Do you know that I think I'm thinking.
Jack: You think you're thinking. Am I thinking?
Cristina: I think you think you're thinking.
Jack: Why?
Cristina: Why you don't think you're thinking like I'm thinking?
Jack: I can tell you I think I'm thinking. But what did you know about that?
Cristina: Yeah, I don't know that you're thinking, but I do think that you think you're thinking.
Jack: Great. Fantastic. Can you prove it?
Cristina: Just that you would say you're thinking.
Jack: No. It's not proof.
Jack: This is legitimately something you can't disprove in either direction. Yes, most things. There is a building here. Well, I can see the building. Well, I can show you for a fact at an atomic scale that there's nothing touching. Is there a building?
Cristina: Is this still building?
Jack: Yeah, you go far enough. Is there a building?
Cristina: Oh, okay.
Jack: There are things.
Cristina: There are things.
Jack: There are no things.
Cristina: So you're saying everything?
Jack: Yeah. You can't prove anything. Proof does not exist.
Cristina: Ah.
Jack: The concept of proof is theoretical.
Cristina: Whoa. What?
Jack: It's like saying truth.
Cristina: Truth.
Jack: What is truth? We can theorize. We can't really get there. Same goes for proof. Like, I can theorize. I can't really get there.
Cristina: Yeah. Whoa.
Jack: So nothing could be proven or disproven at any scale.
Cristina: So the answer is everything, though.
Jack: Yeah.
Cristina: Okay, what the next question is, what's your go to alcoholic drink?
Jack: Jack Daniels. Dry.
Cristina: Dry.
Jack: Yeah.
Cristina: That's good. I like that.
Jack: So soft.
Cristina: My go to drink is, I don't know, beer.
Jack: Beer, Beer. I don't know, beer. Above everything.
Cristina: To go to. Like, if it was right there. Yeah.
Jack: If you had all the drinks in the world, which one do you grab?
Cristina: Oh, out of the world.
Jack: Yes. That's what go to means.
Cristina: I thought, like, what do you have normally? Like, just.
Jack: You have the ability to just blink into existence. Any drink. Which one are you blinking in?
Cristina: Oh, pina colada.
Jack: Pina colada. That's the winner.
Cristina: Yeah, I think so. It's just a fun drink. I rarely have it, but it's awesome.
Jack: It's cold.
Cristina: That's good. I like that. My other go to drink, I guess, would be some kind of wine.
Jack: Wines are good.
Cristina: Probably red, most likely. Yes.
Jack: Like a cabernet.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Yeah, I get behind that.
Cristina: The next question is, if you could live in any cartoon world, which world would you choose?
Jack: If I could live in any cartoon.
Cristina: You had to live you have to live in this cartoon world.
Jack: I don't know. Cartoon World? Which one would it be? A cartoon world? Not just any world. A cartoon world. Anime Count?
Cristina: Yes. Why not Death Note? Death Note? Why? Unless you get the notebook, it's like normal life. Oh, you're trying to pick the safest.
Jack: No, I'm trying to have a Death Note.
Cristina: Oh, you're having. Feels like if you don't have the Death Note, you just end up in Death Note. Or.
Jack: Oh, it's a random role. Then in most places, most of us are just random people.
Cristina: Yeah, that's true.
Jack: That's a stupid f****** question. Then. Discussion is dumb as h***. Because then in most cases, we're like. We're always focused on the special people. Yes, but like, the world is just filled with normal f****** people. In every case, we have to become.
Cristina: The main character in this world that we're entering. That's the only way to make it fun.
Jack: Dragon Ball Z. Well, easy. That's not even a debate. I could choose straight out. And I don't have to be like totally normal. Drum Ball Z. Infinite Power. I got the determination. I'll make it out. Goku. Goku. F*** that guy.
Cristina: You'll never catch up with him once he knows what you're doing.
Jack: Oh, yeah, but I'll be just excited as he is. Yeah, we'll just be in it. In it for fun. Like. Oh, s***, you got stronger that served.
Cristina: Ah, s***.
Jack: I'm stronger too. Let's do it.
Cristina: Yes. Oh, that's awesome.
Jack: Yeah.
Cristina: Cartoon World. I don't know. The. I don't know. Adventure Time, maybe?
Jack: Adventure Time?
Cristina: It's a.
Jack: Isn't that a dystopian nightmare?
Cristina: It's a cute dystopian world.
Jack: Everything is trying to kill you, though.
Cristina: Or be your friend. There's chances it's both happening.
Jack: Sure, I guess so.
Cristina: It's a roll of the dice.
Jack: Enjoy that.
Cristina: Yeah, it's fun. The next question is, what's your most memorable encounter with a stranger?
Jack: When I was very young, I saw a complete stranger in New York City. Crossed paths, locked eyes for a couple of seconds. That was pretty much it.
Cristina: Beautiful.
Jack: Yeah, it was very interesting. Don't know who this person was. Never saw them again. Have no concept of anything other than I saw a rocket girl walking by when she was at one end of the block and I was at the other end of the block. Both of us about to turn respective corners and just. That's it. For whatever reason, I look back, see her looking straight at me, and I just stopped There looking straight at her. And then her friend touches her shoulder after a couple of seconds, and then she keeps walking. And then my friends do the same thing.
Cristina: That's the end of that story.
Jack: The end of that. It was just a moment captured in time. And I'll never forget it.
Cristina: Mm.
Jack: Everything else moving. She stopped in time. And New York City in the middle. It's just. F***. Tons of people.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: But just. It's like those scenarios, you know, like romance movies or in, like, action movies when the bad guy sees the other person. Those moments where everybody's just moving really quickly and they just become blurs. But then two people are just standing there. Think of mentioned Death Note L and light looking at each other, and everything's spinning quickly around them, but they're just frozen. They're looking at one another.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: In normal speed, that same thing happened where I'm just looking at this person. I'm, like, fascinated by the fact that something about this was just. We both instantaneously stopped and looked at each other, and we're just there. Nothing else happened.
Cristina: That's good enough.
Jack: Yes. The moment cut after maybe 20 to 30 seconds.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: But that is forever. The most to just stare at somebody.
Cristina: That you don't know. Okay.
Jack: And then just keep moving.
Cristina: Interesting. I guess mine is when an old lady at a bus stop said that I was going to h***. That was pretty fun.
Jack: That's weird.
Cristina: Yeah. That was my remark. Remem. Ah. That was my memorable moment.
Jack: That was your memorable moment?
Cristina: Yeah. That's pretty shocking. But cool, because she was like, yeah, I'm going to h*** too, so it's okay.
Jack: What was her. Oh, she thinks everybody's gonna h***.
Cristina: I think so. Well, she saw I had a tattoo, and she was like, yeah, that's why.
Jack: Oh, that's fine. Yeah.
Cristina: Yeah. Okay.
Jack: Okay, cool.
Cristina: That's cool. So. I don't know. It's just so random. She was going.
Jack: Sounds random.
Cristina: Yeah. Like, I know she was going to the park to do yoga, and she was old, and that's all I know. And I, of course, never saw her again. She's a complete stranger. But she told me that, and that was fun.
Jack: Cool.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: So that happened.
Cristina: Maybe that's gonna happen in my future. Maybe I'll see her there. I don't know.
Jack: In h***?
Cristina: Yeah. Yeah. So that's gonna be fun. We'll be doing yoga together. I don't know.
Jack: I mean, h*** is more likely than nothingness.
Cristina: Well, yeah. So cool. You have a lot of illegal money and are aware of a raid that will take place at your house. Where do you hide it and how?
Jack: A bunch of illegal money. A raid is coming to your home, and you need to hide the cash. Where do you hide the cash? Because of the police raid.
Cristina: Can I just burn it? That'd be wrong.
Jack: Well, you want to keep your money? Oh, I'm assuming the goal is, I worked for it, let me keep it.
Cristina: Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. You do. With illegal money or illegal anything. You hide it with your regular money.
Jack: Depending how much money you have. You just bribe the cops. You found nothing. Here's a million dollars a piece.
Cristina: Whoa. How much money do you have?
Jack: Heisenberg money. I don't know. There's a raid coming to your house a lot.
Cristina: You're Heisenberg. Okay, so you're Heisenberg. The police are coming. Yeah.
Jack: Please show up. There are 12 f****** SWAT members about to raid your s*** with the FBI. Right? So all the. All of them show up. Just 20 people. You got $60 million.
Cristina: Whoa.
Jack: You cut out $20 million? When they come in, they. They come in immediately. And, yeah, you. You make sure there's a barrier of some sort. Right? You. You structure your house first. You're not going anywhere. You structure your house in such a way that they can't get through the barrier but that they can talk to you.
Cristina: Mm.
Jack: And you just tell them maybe you found nothing. And I can just leave this right here for each one of you. One at a time. You can take it. Everybody else stands here until you disappear so that you know you're safe with it. And then I'll hand the next one theirs, and they can walk away. And now do it this way. And you know you left safe with the money. Your homies are gonna turn on you for more. You got away.
Cristina: Mm.
Jack: Each one of you can have a million dollars. That's more than you will ever work for.
Cristina: Mm. That is crazy. You think that'll work?
Jack: H***, yeah. Money buys people.
Cristina: That's. That is a lot of money.
Jack: The best way to do it is they get in, you somehow lock them in. Not to harm them, but you say, talk about it.
Cristina: Talk about it.
Jack: Talk about it. Because they'll be like, no, we're not, but we're f****** justice or whatever. You're gonna convince each other.
Cristina: Yeah, that's. That's a good idea.
Jack: Yeah. Just. You're gonna convince each other. There's more corruption with money than there is good.
Cristina: Wow.
Jack: Pressure will get to everybody.
Cristina: But if you had to hide it, though, and it Will say, well, where would you hide it, though?
Jack: Where would you.
Cristina: You had to hide it.
Jack: Easy ways to accomplish this. Your house should always be built on top of a. You need a room with a wooden floor. The wooden floor needs to be built with cement columns underneath it in block form. And the wooden planks lay over the individual cubes. Not cubes, I guess. Squares. Yeah. It's at some degree of cube. Yeah. And you can remove them from a specific pattern, but they do not come undone without beginning at that pattern.
Cristina: You have to do this yourself.
Jack: Like, just get it done when you make your house.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Unless you don't have this previously done and you just have a bunch of money in your house, in which case probably burn it. I don't know.
Cristina: Where would you hide it last minute? I don't know. Attic. No.
Jack: They're gonna raid your house in a wall.
Cristina: Are they gonna break everything too?
Jack: It has to look like the wall hasn't been tampered with.
Cristina: Yeah, that's true. Yeah. It's really hard if you can. If you don't have time to read.
Jack: Yeah. You need to really preemptively have some measures in place.
Cristina: I don't know. Yeah. So there's no answer for this.
Jack: There really isn't. Pay them off. You don't hide it.
Cristina: Don't hide it. Oh, that would be cool. The next question is, what should someone going back in time bring to take over the world?
Jack: Going back in time. Bring forward in time instead of the other way around.
Cristina: Bring something forward in time.
Jack: Yes. Because you're going back in time.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: And bringing that to now. Right. Oh, no. You're taking something from now to the past.
Cristina: Yeah, I think that way. Yeah.
Jack: Got you.
Cristina: That would be weird.
Jack: Take a gun. Just a gun. Take an ar. Take an AR and just go to, like, ancient Egypt.
Cristina: Oh, my gosh.
Jack: Force them to make the statue of you and write the prophecy of you. Then come forward in time and just the Messiah has showed up. Here is me with the very gun you saw, and I look the way I do right there. I'm the one.
Cristina: Ooh. That would be very confusing. I guess that would really work. Yeah.
Jack: Yeah.
Cristina: Wow.
Jack: Take a hundred dollars back in time and go to the inception of cryptocurrency and buy all the variants with that $100. But you buy them at their bare minimum when they're a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of fraction of a fraction of fraction of, fraction of a fraction of fraction of a penny with that $100. That's all you do.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Then it blows up. You're the richest, most overpowered guy who's ever existed. Make money, religion. Pay everybody to follow you.
Cristina: Make money, religion.
Jack: Yeah. Give people money to do whatever f*** you want.
Cristina: Mm, man. I like your first one more, though.
Jack: No, this is anything you got a time machine and you could affect the past.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Problem is, the moment you change the past, you cease to exist because you've altered the thing. You can't consciously change anything. But if somehow you couldn't break it.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Then, yeah, whatever, you do anything.
Cristina: Whatever.
Jack: Be creative. Anything works.
Cristina: Be very creative. Yeah.
Jack: Also, like, who the f*** can you tell? And they'll believe you.
Cristina: You know, Learn magic before going back in time.
Jack: Become Jesus.
Cristina: Yes.
Jack: What if Jesus was just a dude with a f****** time machine and a bunch of magic tricks?
Cristina: Yes. He's David Blaine.
Jack: Yeah. He just went back, did a couple of f****** illusions. You were like, wow, this is crazy.
Cristina: Did those weird things he does, like stabbing himself and eating glass. Eating glass. And like, oh, watch.
Jack: Magic. I ate glass. Why does he think that's magic?
Cristina: I don't know what the meaning of magic is to him.
Jack: It's so crazy. He doesn't understand what magic is. David Blaine is a strange guy.
Cristina: Unless he just doesn't know magic anymore. Like, once upon a time. He must have, right? Or was he always doing these weird things?
Jack: Yeah, he's just a weirdo. He's not really a magician of any sort. He doesn't do magic. He does tricks.
Cristina: He does tricks? Yeah.
Jack: And it's arguable that it's a trick. It's like, I ate glass. Like, okay, dude, that's probably bad for you, but, like, do you. I guess I stabbed myself. What do you think? Like, it.
Cristina: But there have been magicians, I guess, that have done things similar to that that counted as magic.
Jack: I want to see David Blaine cross a sword through his stomach.
Cristina: He probably has done that.
Jack: I somehow doubt it. I think the. The freaking needle through the arm thing is like his limit.
Cristina: Oh, well, look.
Jack: Needle through the arm. You mean through your skin, not through your bone, right?
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: Like, okay. Sweet, bro. You did a thing we know can happen.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: And we, like. We're not even wondering, how do you do it? We're just like, cool. A lot of pain tolerance. Good job.
Cristina: Mm. Yeah. He's gotta do something crazy. Crazier.
Jack: Get hit by a car that's going 100 miles per hour and don't die.
Cristina: Yeah. I don't know. Get shot in the head. In the head.
Jack: And survive.
Cristina: And survive.
Jack: Well, There's a magician that does that. He gets shot in the face and he grabs it with his mouth.
Cristina: Yeah. He's probably done things like that. Maybe. I don't know.
Jack: I wonder how that one's done. That's an interesting one.
Cristina: It's a scary one. I don't know know what that relates to the question, but.
Jack: All right, all right. We are definitely running out of time now, so. Oh, so that was real hit and miss. There were some really s***** questions in there, which I understand why they don't make it. Some of them were interesting. Some of them are interesting. You're right. We got to some gems in there.
Cristina: Yeah.
Jack: But, like, the majority of them are garbage.
Cristina: Yep.
Jack: And it's like, I get why we just ignore a lot of these questions.
Cristina: Mm.
Jack: It's like, God, some of you guys don't have thoughts in your heads. There's words there.
Cristina: There's definitely words.
Jack: There's words bouncing around. Bouncing around their heads. There's words, but there aren't thoughts, per se. It's like, what if, what if, what if stuff. Okay. Yep, yep, yep. That happened.
Cristina: That's pretty much what this episode is about.
Jack: Yeah. Conversation soup. One or two or three, depending on where this lands. I don't know. Go find out. Go look. Maybe you got some answers anyways. Yeah. You can find the other ones if there are. If they're not, you can go find the future ones. We'll make, I guess.
Cristina: Yeah. And we also have other episodes about that we answer questions.
Jack: Oh, yeah, there's a plethora of those.
Cristina: Like science or religions or relationship advice, things like that.
Jack: Yes, there are many question episodes, Q and A of all sorts. You can find all that stuff on the official website greatthoughts.info or on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or anywhere you can your podcasts.
Cristina: And you can reach us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok. USCOPOP.
Jack: Yes. And also remember to rate, review, and subscribe to the program.
Cristina: How does someone who might like this show know about it?
Jack: Yes, word of mouth is the most overpowered thing anyone has ever seen, and it's way more overpowered than a good half of these questions.
Cristina: And this has been the rambling podcast. Take nothing personal, and thanks for listening.
Jack: Bye.
Cristina: Okay, what's holding up the earth? What's under the earth? What's under flat earth? More earth under the flat earth. Is it more earth?
Jack: It's only flat because it's so wide in the region we're in. But if we kept going, it's round. Everything is round. It's just. There is, in fact, a giant ice wall surrounding the portion of Earth we're on.
Cristina: Earth is a lot bigger than we think it is.
Jack: Yes. We think the whole Earth is what we've explored, but that's just the flat region in the middle. We're in a tiny, maybe 1% of.
Cristina: Everything that is Earth, and Earth is still around. Giant. Must be giant.
Jack: Yes, huge. It's huge. Earth is way bigger, 100 times bigger than what we think.
Cristina: Okay.
Jack: The Illuminati are on the outside. That's how we roll. That's the reality of the matter.
Cristina: That's the reality. 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.
