Are live shows worth it? Will listeners show? Will money get made? Are the profits worth the effort? Or should the content come first and the profit be an after thought? And where do we host these shows? Can it be done at a private location? An Island resort perhaps? The duo decides where to host their first life show and who is allowed to be present to listen in.

+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 Just Conversation, 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 the second new episodes are released.

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

Jack: Yes. So go find somebody and tell them you gotta listen to the show. And also tell them you gotta watch the show.

Cristina: So you gotta watch the show.

Jack: Yeah. Wouldn't be cool if we had an audience. If they just started showing up at the front of the studio and they're.

Cristina: Just, oh, we're doing this live.

Jack: Yeah, we're gonna start. We're gonna have a whole audience.

Cristina: A whole audience.

Jack: The Just Conversation podcast is recorded in front of a live audience.

Cristina: Are we going to be on a stage? Is it going to be a huge room? Or is it going to be a tiny room with a bunch of people packed in?

Jack: Oh, s***. Do we want a personal thing or do we want like a big explosive for all our hundreds of millions of listeners? Like a rock concert. Yeah, all the listeners on a stage. What everybody looking at is millions of people.

Cristina: That's too much. Let's just squeeze in a room.

Jack: Squeeze in a room like. Like the Select 30.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Private, exclusive things. Sell tickets, super expensive because there's only like 30 seats. Yeah, be like $600 a pop or the next highest.

Cristina: Giving them seats. Maybe they just stand for an hour.

Jack: Just so we got. They're paying for the spot to stand in.

Cristina: Yeah, I mean, if they're lazy, they can sit down.

Jack: Yeah, I guess. And really they're not even paying for the spot. We're just gonna fill it to capacity and just rent out a really tiny place. Yeah, like there's. There could only be 30 people here because fire hazards and.

Cristina: Let's not rent anything. Let's just do it in a park.

Jack: Then we. It's out in the open. We can. More people could just show up.

Cristina: No, but we won't let them.

Jack: How are we going to stop them?

Cristina: I don't know. We'll have a tape around us or something.

Jack: Then people are going to stand on the other side of the tape. You know what, that's good though, because they'll be like, man, but I could be on that side of the table.

Cristina: Yeah, maybe that going to get them more Curious.

Jack: But these pots are already sold or taken.

Cristina: We'll have a bigger rope or whatever around the group so that to reach the farthest that anyone can hear it, so that no one can hear it except the middle circle of people that paid.

Jack: So then here's the problem. This is logistically annoying. But possible. Right. Because we would need some speakers that the back of the inner bubble is. They could barely hear it, but still hear it. But the front of the inner bubble hears it clearly. But as soon as the second bubble begins, it's too far and you can't hear anything.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So we need just the right exact volume to know that sound with 30 people in there is going to travel only as far as the barrier of the inner circle and then not the outer barrier of the inner circle.

Cristina: That sounds complicated. We'll test it out.

Jack: But probably gonna take a lot of money to make this happen.

Cristina: Why do we have to pay so much to make it happen?

Jack: I don't know. Everything costs money.

Cristina: It's in the park.

Jack: Yeah. A public place that we have to pay public. Which is really just government, which they're really only. I don't know. We can't do anything legally like that.

Cristina: We can't. Why do they have to know?

Jack: Because it's an event.

Cristina: They don't need to know we're having an event.

Jack: If they showed up, they would just arrest us or give us a ticket and kick us out. Anyways.

Cristina: What if we go to a forest? Where? I don't know. Where there's no one there.

Jack: I mean, I guess. Right. Somebody has to own. Does it ever. Is everything owned?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like, every piece of dirt belongs to somebody.

Cristina: Right.

Jack: Somebody takes claim to it.

Cristina: You think we have to buy something?

Jack: No, I think we rent out space. Like. Or at least get permission. Yeah, but, like, I don't want to. Now I'm curious as to. Is there. Is there a place somewhere that isn't owned?

Cristina: And we just go there and we just go there.

Jack: But like, every piece of dirt is part of a continent inside of some country, right?

Cristina: Yeah. What about all the islands that are out there?

Jack: Unless there's nobody on the island. The island has never been discovered or.

Cristina: Is too tiny for anyone to live there. Like, there's gotta be tiny islands that you can't really do anything with.

Jack: Fair enough. But somebody owned it is the question. Does it belong to some government that then we have to rent it from? Or is there just some, like, island that has never. But like, Google Maps is the thing. Google Earth, Right.

Cristina: You think Google Earth can find it?

Jack: No, the problem is, has it? And like, could Google. If somebody's looking on Google Earth, has every place already been discovered? Is there like a billionaire who paid again was like, find an island that isn't charted, tell me where it is, I'm gonna put all my s*** over there and say it's mine because nobody can take it because I was the first. There are those rules, like if we found an island today.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Are there rules around finding the island that prevent me, the billionaire, from just being like, it's mine now? Because I just put a flag there?

Cristina: I don't. Well, you got to probably pay something for it.

Jack: For who? To who?

Cristina: To who? I don't know. I guess you have to claim which country you're under when you do it.

Jack: That's crazy, right? Like, are they just going to be like, well, it's closer to me and they're going to debate it, or do.

Cristina: You have to make it a new country or do you have to make.

Jack: It a new country?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And like, do you have to make it a new country?

Cristina: You might have to.

Jack: Why? Who said.

Cristina: Because then a country will claim it.

Jack: F*** you. Right.

Cristina: That's why you got to claim.

Jack: No, but. No, you claim it yourself and you say you're not part of any country.

Cristina: Yeah. So then you gotta. It's your own country, though, is it a country? It's whatever you call it. I don't know.

Jack: Is it by default a country just because it's a landmass of its own that isn't associated with any other country? And thus I think country is the biggest you can get to before you can't get bigger?

Cristina: I think. So, like when Peter made his home his own country. Yeah. It's the same thing, I think, visit a country.

Jack: So is by default any landmass part of a country, whether or not the country, like, yeah, it's just you can't get bigger. That's it. It's just you are part of a country.

Cristina: You have to be part of something.

Jack: Well, you are the country. You don't have to be part of. You are a country.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Bare minimum, you're a country.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You might be a country of one. So your country is your main, is your capital, and it's the only town in your country and it's the only neighborhood in the only town in the only city in your country.

Cristina: Yeah. And you don't have to pay anyone taxes for that. Right, because you pay you taxes. Yeah, that sounds right.

Jack: But then do you need a passport for people to step on your country.

Cristina: Ooh.

Jack: And do you need a passport?

Cristina: You need a passport to visit other countries, Definitely.

Jack: But how do you get a passport if now you are a country and you don't.

Cristina: You already have a passport. I'm guessing before you got to that country, you were from a country, right? Like, you didn't lose all your documents from those other countries.

Jack: What? If you had no passport, how did.

Cristina: You get to that island?

Jack: Well, you didn't. You need a passport to enter. You don't need a passport to fly. You need a passport to enter another country. Yeah, but you got to this place before it was a country.

Cristina: Yeah, but you weren't traveling to different. Like, you still have a passport from where you're from.

Jack: No, you have your own airport. You have your own, and it's for local flight. You're not allowed to fly out of the country, and you're not allowed to fly into another country. There you go. Okay, now, do they let you fly into uncharted dirt if you don't have a passport? Because what you would need a passport for is that country. No, no, because.

Cristina: Okay, you wouldn't.

Jack: Okay, because there's nobody there to tell you you need a passport to get in. There's nobody there. Yes, you need somebody to tell you you need a passport to get in.

Cristina: From there to anywhere else. You would need a passport.

Jack: Would you, though? To anywhere that requires a passport. Yeah, but anywhere that doesn't require a passport?

Cristina: No, I guess not.

Jack: Right. So you can only travel the countries that don't require passports because you don't have a passport system, because you don't know how passport.

Cristina: So you gotta. You just go back to the country you came from and get a passport, though. Wouldn't you be able to travel from other countries in your new country? Once I get a passport from your.

Jack: Old country, I guess now the question is, I don't know. I don't know. So you can you fly there, you claim it's your own. It's a country by default.

Cristina: You might still need a passport from that country, though.

Jack: From what country? Your own country?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: Because when you go to another country, they need to know where you came from.

Jack: And you're telling them, I came from this piece of dirt. So they need to decide whether or not that country needs a passport.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: I think they need to choose. Oh, because you can't be like, well, I need. I don't need a passport. And they'd be like, well, you do. And you say, well, I need a password. It's like, we wouldn't look at it anyways because we don't take passports.

Cristina: But country that does need a passport, you do need a passport for.

Jack: Right, but the question is, what would it. Yeah, for any country that does require passport, you need a passport no matter what. Yeah, but if your country can't make a passport and you tell them that also, why would they say you need a passport from your country to enter?

Cristina: You just need a passport.

Jack: No, some could not. Okay, so like some countries don't need you to have passports.

Cristina: No, they're saying the one that you're going to, that does need a passport, you'll need a passport.

Jack: No, what I'm saying is, I don't think. For example, let's say Russia requires you to have a passport.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But if you're an American, you know, like, does it still require you to have a passport if you're like Turkish? Or can you just enter Russia without a passport if you're Turkish? And is that how the passport works? Or is it that Russia said, I need a passport? Regardless of where the f*** you come from, you need a passport. That's my question. Because if it's selective, why would they just be like, well, clearly you don't have a way to make a passport, but f*** your s***, you're not allowed in our country. You need a passport.

Cristina: Yes. I don't know.

Jack: And is it like uniform like that? Or would they just be like. Well, your country doesn't need it.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Because they pick which countries need it. Right?

Cristina: Yeah, but I feel like they will say you need it.

Jack: Like in the European Union, you just drive from one place to another without a passport. Yeah, you just drive around Europe. A lot of Europe.

Cristina: A lot of it. But not every.

Jack: Without a passport, they don't give a f***. Yeah, but if you were American going to Europe, they would need you to have a passport. So they don't need passports amongst each other in their different countries.

Cristina: Yeah, but from this island to one of those countries, you probably still need.

Jack: A passport, but you still need a password to enter Mexico.

Cristina: You do.

Jack: I think so. Or if you were to drive.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Through Mexico and be like, I'm gonna go to Guatemala. Do you need a passport or is it just flight related?

Cristina: I don't think.

Jack: No, because if you go to. If you go to Canada.

Cristina: Exactly. You don't need a passport.

Jack: Yeah, to Canada.

Cristina: But I think Mexico works the same way.

Jack: Also, if you were to stay living in Canada, you would need a passport.

Cristina: Would you?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Oh, but to Visit, though.

Jack: But to visit. And it all depends on the instance really. They don't really like, stop you from. But like, does Mexico work that way? That's my question.

Cristina: So I think Mexico works that way.

Jack: So then you can go through Mexico into Guatemala and be like, okay, yeah.

Cristina: I'm going on vacation. That's what you got to tell them. You just got to say, like, what you're.

Jack: Is that true though, or is that a guess?

Cristina: That's a guess. But I'm. I'm pretty sure it works the same as going to Canada.

Jack: But why?

Cristina: Because I think I read about it somewhere.

Jack: The going into Mexico. You don't need a passport. Yeah, I somehow doubt that. I think you do.

Cristina: Why? No, I don't think so.

Jack: Then how do you get back into the United States?

Cristina: They know you're a US Citizen. You have identification to prove it. If they don't believe you, I'm pretty sure your, your accent will prove that you're an American. Interesting.

Jack: I wonder how wrong this is or how accurate this is.

Cristina: I don't know. I'm sure he's very accurate. Sorry.

Jack: So then in theory, you could just take a boat to my island and not need a passport.

Cristina: Well, if you say so.

Jack: Because if you're interested, my point is I could take a boat out of my island to any other landmass. Is it just flight related or do countries require. If you're like, if I was going into Asia from Europe driving, but these.

Cristina: Countries know about these other countries. Your country is a new country.

Jack: No, my, my question is, if I were going from like Germany to China.

Cristina: In a car, probably need a passport, would I.

Jack: Is it just flight related?

Cristina: Is it flight related? I don't know if it's just flight related.

Jack: I've never tried crossing any border without an airplane being involved.

Cristina: Yeah, I think I'm assuming it has to not just be flight related.

Jack: Right. Like you. Because it'd be crazy. Then everybody would just do it the other way. I don't f****** pass before I just get there in a car.

Cristina: I don't know. People are lazy. They like planes fair.

Jack: And it's quicker and you could sleep through it.

Cristina: Yeah. So I don't.

Jack: I mean, it would have to be, right? That's ridiculous. It's crazy that I don't know how fast. I've never in my life taken any other form of transportation with a passport.

Cristina: I think on boats you also need passports. Right. If you're gonna go to a country.

Jack: I've never used a boat ticket again. I've Literally never. Like, I've only done planes.

Cristina: It can't be playing. It can't just be planes.

Jack: It can't just be planes. Right. It doesn't make any sense.

Cristina: If the rule is you need to have a passport, it doesn't matter how you're getting there. I think you need a passport.

Jack: Yes. Okay, so we just don't need a passport for Mexico and Canada.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Got it.

Cristina: Because they like us. No, they don't.

Jack: The question. I'm not entirely sure how you are with Mexico. I know, for Canada you don't really need it to get in. I'm not sure. I'm not 100% sure on the Mexican part, but I also don't know. It just seems like it wouldn't be the case.

Cristina: Why not? It's the other way around. We don't work the same as them. They accept us, we don't accept them.

Jack: Fair. It could totally be that way.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: So, yes, in theory, I could make an island. Not making. I guess I could make it. Do people own the waters? No, the waters aren't owned by anybody.

Cristina: Well, you want to. Are you positive you can do that, though?

Jack: Yes, people have made islands.

Cristina: But who do you ask to do that? I don't know, because that would be considered trash. And then they're like, hey, you gotta. You get a fine for making this island.

Jack: No, because you're finding the water, who finds you? I think that's the problem. Right. They dump s*** into the oceans.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Who finds you at that point?

Cristina: Who finds who?

Jack: Who's. Who's giving you the tax for what?

Cristina: Who's in the country nearest to you?

Jack: No, because they. You're in. If you're. I'm sure every country has a radius in the water.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And if you're not in their radius, that. If that line cuts off before it reaches you.

Cristina: What if every part of the water is owned by someone?

Jack: That can't be the case. That s***. That can't be.

Cristina: It probably is.

Jack: No, it probably. It can't be. It cannot be. There's a radius around everything. And that's my argument there. It has to be. It would be crazy for every bit of water to belong to somebody.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's dumb. That can't be.

Cristina: They want. They would do that.

Jack: Yes, but the problem is then you have to give every country the same thing. And nobody wants that.

Cristina: No.

Jack: So they probably sooner do the radius thing and be like, no, you don't get more water than me just because you're bigger. So, no, we all just get this much water around us.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because that's sooner than, well, that country's biggest f***. And like a good 90% of the ocean belongs to that one country. Like probably not.

Cristina: We're going to this up and it's like the queen owns all the water.

Jack: That'd be crazy.

Cristina: Like, I don't know. One person owns it all.

Jack: I think, I think there's a radius like a measurable distance from shore in every direction, surrounding every bit of shore. So it would be the exact shape of whatever borders of that country are touching water around it. Just at a farther distance from than the land.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And so it just circles the landmass in exactly the same shape of the landmass and those waters are owned and that includes islands. So islands and the same distant radius around them belongs to that island.

Cristina: Yeah. And then there's some water that's owned by no one because it doesn't touch anything.

Jack: Exactly. And then we take the island builders or whatever that team is called that.

Cristina: Builds islands and they're going in there.

Jack: Yeah. We take them to one of those best. Probably particularly deep water too because there's no land sticking up around that.

Cristina: Yeah. So it's probably not safe to build in that.

Jack: It's probably safe to build. This is probably really expensive because you got to make a hole somewhere.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And bring all that s*** there to make a hole.

Cristina: This isn't going to work.

Jack: I mean, if you had enough billions you could do it.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: I think so. I think with enough billions you could get it done.

Cristina: I guess.

Jack: There are man made islands.

Cristina: There are?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: But out there.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Not next to actual islands.

Jack: Oh yeah. Probably next to actual island. I doubt somebody just made an artificial island in the middle of the ocean.

Cristina: Yeah. Maybe you can like, I don't know, drive your island into the ocean or whatever it's called when you're riding a boat. Ride the island to the middle of the ocean. This is man made?

Jack: No, no, no. Because it can't just be floating.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: It has to be touching the bottom, rising all the way to the top.

Cristina: How do you do that?

Jack: Money. Just throw a bunch of s*** in one spot over and over and over and over until it fills up. Which means you got to make a big a****** somewhere. But whatever. Billions of dollars are going into it. You make this one, it doesn't have to be a big island. It's just a lot of stuff to make it stand successful. Without the undercurrents of stuff though. We just dig a hole, put sand in to make dirt. I don't know. And build an island with dirt that's.

Cristina: Coming from the country it's next to.

Jack: No, we. I mean, I guess I gotta buy it from somewhere.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then transport it.

Cristina: Yeah, that sounds super expensive.

Jack: Yeah. But I'm sure it won't take. Like if we use the richest guy's money. Right. And leave him $1 billion.

Cristina: But then your island's still part of that country because you're right next to it.

Jack: No, you are leaving. You're buying the stuff from the country, then going super far into UN owned waters.

Cristina: But how are you reaching that?

Jack: Would you get. There's a team of people with boats and technology.

Cristina: So you're living on the boats until you finish this project? I guess.

Jack: How do you think like a. Like an oil rig in the middle of the ocean happens?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: It's the same way we're just gonna do that tactic. Like, those are just boats technology. To me, those are boats constructing out there.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah. So we just need that.

Cristina: But is that really in the middle of nowhere?

Jack: It's not so far out, but it's like. It really is kind of like if you fell, you drown.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You know.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So yeah, we. We do that.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And then we get our audience into.

Cristina: That's why we're doing this.

Jack: Yeah. So we can get the audience onto the island so that we don't have to. Because we want. We're gonna put in the park. But it would be problematic.

Cristina: But. Okay, so they don't need passports to our island.

Jack: They don't need passports to our island.

Cristina: But will they need passports to go home? We still don't understand that.

Jack: Like, that doesn't. I don't. I don't care.

Cristina: How do we go home? We will live on that.

Jack: We'll get passports.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They can get passports if they want. They can come to the island.

Cristina: Countries don't want us to have passports. I don't know. They're unhappy with what we did.

Jack: What, make an island.

Cristina: Yeah. And they're like, we're not gonna give you passports or whatever.

Jack: Then we don't go into that country. We can't possibly be done with every country.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Somebody has to let us in.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then through that country, we get back in.

Cristina: But then we have the waiting date. Wait for these passports. Are we getting the passports before we do it? Like, this is going to take a long time. I mean, the whole project will take a long time.

Jack: I'm sure just the passports. We Already have are still passports and they work. Yeah, we don't need like a new set of passports.

Cristina: Okay, so. But the people that we're bringing should have their own passports at least. No, you won't worry about them at all.

Jack: I won't worry about them. You can worry about them if you want, but after the show's done, we put them on a ferry and we're like, you don't have to go home, but you gotta get the f*** out of here. And then that ferry takes off.

Cristina: Are we paying for that ferry?

Jack: We own it. Or I guess it could be like a Uber ferries.

Cristina: Uber fairies and like, I don't know.

Jack: That's a far a** trip. Yeah, like whatever we'll pay for, you know.

Cristina: How did they get here?

Jack: Man? This started as just being really cheap because we were going to do it for free, but then we had to pay the billions to get like just.

Cristina: Doing in the middle of the park and getting the find us would be so much cheaper.

Jack: But look, after we do this, we can, we can throw the show for free whenever we want.

Cristina: The goal is the show being 30 people.

Jack: No, look, the show. The goal is the show being free. Whatever other expenses we do is fine. Because the show, the principal idea is we don't pay for the show. We don't have to pay to throw the show and have guests there for the show because we're not selling them. Also, the island needs to be big enough to have the inner and the outer circle because people need to show up to the island and not be able to hear.

Cristina: Why? Why do we need those people?

Jack: Because those are just features of the show.

Cristina: Okay, so they're just gonna. We're just gonna tell people you can come to this island?

Jack: No, they're gonna know that they're there for that. But the first 30 get to hear the show and we tell them. 2nd 30 get to be on the island but can't hear the show.

Cristina: Okay, so we got 60 people besides us too.

Jack: I mean, I guess that the outside.

Cristina: Circle is bigger, like bodyguards to stop these people from going into the circle.

Jack: Because it's only being divided by yellow tape.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because again, we went real low budget on this. It's just yellow tape. Where we really went all out was the figuring out the audio problem. Yes.

Cristina: The island.

Jack: Yeah, so that the I. So the sound only travels as far as the inner wall of the inner circle. So we need really expensive tech on that, but really cheap tech on just like wrapping yellow.

Cristina: What about the island? Is that cheap?

Jack: Well, that's not part of the cost of the show. That's just an island in which we're doing the show.

Cristina: But it's man made.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: And who's paying for it?

Jack: We're paying for it with the richest billionaire. I guess the richest billionaires are paying for it.

Cristina: The richest billionaire?

Jack: Yeah. Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are going to get together and fund this island for us. They're each only going to keep $1 billion of their money to make this island. To make this island.

Cristina: How much do the islands cost?

Jack: Don't know. Man made islands in the middle of the ocean, though.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: They want us to have our own.

Cristina: Territory and we're not even going to have like enough room for planes. It's just boats coming in somehow.

Jack: Yes, yes. There must be a floating by boat that.

Cristina: Like how long is the trip from the land to the.

Jack: No, no, listen. There must be a boat that lets planes land on it.

Cristina: Oh, what? Okay.

Jack: And then they'd be landing on that boat. It's only 30 people. We don't need a lot, I guess.

Cristina: So it's a small boat. I mean, it's a small plane. It's a small plane.

Jack: Plane that holds 30 people.

Cristina: 30 people.

Jack: And they can arrive in different patterns. Like they can arrive five here, five there.

Cristina: Okay. Like a helicopter maybe, or something small, I don't know.

Jack: Yeah, yeah.

Cristina: But can a helicopter come from some random country like so far into the.

Jack: Middle of the island? That's a real question. I feel like helicopters don't have the.

Cristina: No, and I don't think boats can do that either. I mean, boats can do that.

Jack: Boats can. It's just quite a trip.

Cristina: Yeah. It's gonna take a long time.

Jack: Yeah, it could take weeks.

Cristina: This project is complicated.

Jack: Yes. But worth it because the show is gonna be free and it'll have the feature of the inner and outer circles of which only the inner can hear anything we're saying. Making the outer people very jealous that they weren't the first 30. So that next time we host another live show in front of a studio audience there. Yeah, they can be. They can scramble for it. Jack the price up.

Cristina: And how much is the prices anyway, originally?

Jack: What, for the tickets?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We could start at a thousand dollars each ticket.

Cristina: Okay. And we're paying for them to get there and leave or. That's them.

Jack: That's all part of the ticket. The ticket to the show covers your flight there and back and back, I guess.

Cristina: Well, we're not getting much from how much we spent.

Jack: Well, it's not about us getting paid, really. We're just charging for the sake of it. We were just gonna do this in the park for free.

Cristina: And the people that didn't pay for the show, how are they getting and calling if they're not paying? Unless they're just paying a different price.

Jack: We're paying for them to get on and not be able to hear the show.

Cristina: They're paying like half off.

Jack: So the tickets of the people who paid the. Listen covered the cost of all the people who couldn't pay and now can't listen, but still made it to the island.

Cristina: Okay, that's how it's happening.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: I don't know. Okay. I feel like just doing in the middle of the park is easier.

Jack: But then how. No, it needs to be. Because then we gotta pay this f****** city.

Cristina: And how much is that compared to what you're talking about?

Jack: No, the point isn't. The point is doing the show free. Every other cost is unrelated.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah, if we do the show in the park, we have to pay the city on paper to do the show in the park.

Cristina: And if we make an island, we have to pay for the island.

Jack: Yeah, but that's not a cost of to do the show. That's just a cost to have an island. Because on the island we're gonna have the free show.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And the point is to not pay for the show.

Cristina: And that's the important thing.

Jack: That's the important thing that the show. That we beat the system.

Cristina: I don't know. I don't feel like we won anything.

Jack: We definitely won. We beat the government. We didn't pay them or ask permission.

Cristina: But I'm not sure if we still have to pay them or ask permission about making an island.

Jack: We. They can't. There's no f****** way. That wouldn't make sense. If we had to ask for permission to make an island and land that belongs to nobody or water nobody.

Cristina: But how are we gonna even like build there? I don't.

Jack: We will pay people to go do it with our billions.

Cristina: Because I'm assuming the ones that you were talking about, the oil thing, that can't be in water that's not owned. They probably.

Jack: No, that belongs to a country. 100%.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: But we.

Cristina: It's not too deep or too far.

Jack: Yeah, no, it doesn't matter. It took way less resources to build that oil rig than it will to build our island for sure. But we're gonna have an island.

Cristina: What if the mega shark attacks us?

Jack: Mega shark?

Cristina: Yeah, that really big shark The Mega Shark.

Jack: There's a movie.

Cristina: Mega Shark? Yeah.

Jack: There's probably a movie called Mega Shark. But you mean Jaws.

Cristina: No, it's mega. It's huge. I don't know.

Jack: I do remember something like that.

Cristina: Ridiculous.

Jack: And the third one is a robot shark. Mecha Shark.

Cristina: There's a Mecha shark. I don't know. That sounds like something that will fight Godzilla.

Jack: Mecha Shark.

Cristina: There's probably a Mecha shark.

Jack: There's probably a Mecha Shark. I mean, there's a Mechagodzilla.

Cristina: Yeah, he should be fighting mechanically.

Jack: Why don't they call him Robozilla?

Cristina: That sounds blamer.

Jack: Then Mechagodzilla. Yeah, they could have called him Mechazilla. D***, that's a good one. Mechazilla sounds cool, but don't. With no. Like, break in the two parts. Like if you united Mecha and Zilla.

Cristina: Like they did with God and Zilla.

Jack: Yes, exactly. Like, you don't say God Zilla, you say Godzilla.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So instead of Mecca Zilla, you say Mechazilla.

Cristina: Mechazilla.

Jack: Mechazilla versus Godzilla.

Cristina: I don't know. I don't know how I feel about that.

Jack: No.

Cristina: Mecca, Godzilla, shark or the Kraken?

Jack: I don't know. But in the movie Godzilla, the Kraken. What the.

Cristina: That could attack us. We're in the middle of nowhere in waters that's owned by no one.

Jack: Yeah, but the Kraken is a. It's a punk a**. I challenge him to a duel.

Cristina: I don't know. He is giant squid.

Jack: I think it is either giant squid or giant octopus.

Cristina: No, that both sucks.

Jack: Yeah, it's probably giant octopus. Because a giant squid. A squid is like real specifically shaped like a torpedo. Kind of. Like its fins are really poisonous.

Cristina: Can they. A squid?

Jack: I don't know. I don't think so.

Cristina: I don't think it's.

Jack: I mean, there's powers, but an octopus has these really long tentacles, unlike a squid. And squid has tentacles, but they're shorter and it uses it to jet. It looks like a mop.

Cristina: It looks like a mop?

Jack: Yeah. It's like the shape of mop.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Thinner.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: While an octopus is just all over the place. I think the Kraken is a giant octopus.

Cristina: Oh, I don't know.

Jack: They're probably like the same thing between a bunny and a rabbit. Like, they're not the same.

Cristina: I feel like those don't exist.

Jack: Really?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: No, I think a bunny is a type of rabbit.

Cristina: Are you sure?

Jack: I don't know. Let's find out.

Cristina: Let's find out. Okay.

Jack: Okay. So bunny is the one that's not a real word.

Cristina: That's exactly what I was thinking. I thought. Because I feel like they would call a toy that or something like, I guess a baby rabbit that you'd call a bunny or something.

Jack: So hare and rabbit.

Cristina: Those are two different things.

Jack: Those are two different things. And they're close to the same creature.

Cristina: Yeah, but bunny is not a thing.

Jack: Got you. So hare and a rabbit. But regardless, we call them all rabbits.

Cristina: Yes. Maybe that's just in this specific country and other country they call it hair. I don't know how that works.

Jack: Fair. But there's like a dominant name. Although they're two different creatures.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And the same thing happens with squids and octopuses. I think we. Octopus. No, octopuses is right. God, I hate that word because. So it's not octopi. It's not octopus for plural. It's octopuses, which sounds so incorrect.

Cristina: It's not octopussy.

Jack: Octopussy. Yeah. But we can we conflate those two words. We say octopus or squid and we assume they're the same s***.

Cristina: But they're not.

Jack: But they're not. Like, a lot of people are like, you know this. I saw a squid. No, it's an octopus. I saw an octopus.

Cristina: No, they look very similar.

Jack: Yeah, they got tentacles and they got a big.

Cristina: Like, crocodiles and alligators look very similar.

Jack: I don't know what the f*** the difference is. One is bigger than the other. I know that. I guess I do know what the difference is. I just don't know which one has the name.

Cristina: I feel like if you looked at two different photos, you wouldn't be able.

Jack: To tell if it didn't have a size reference next to them.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You know, like, if I knew which one was assigned by name and there was something they were around that could tell me their size, I could tell you if it's a crocodile or an alligator.

Cristina: I don't think so.

Jack: I think the alligator is a bigger one and the crocodile is a smaller one.

Cristina: But I bet there's smaller alligators. Like, if I put a small alligator next to a big alligator, you'd be like, that's a crocodile and that's an alligator. And then I'd be like, ha.

Jack: Interesting. There's another tell.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Crocodiles have a really sharp nose. Alligators have the more rounded.

Cristina: Okay. So there's something. Okay. Because it's just size. I think I could trick you.

Jack: Yeah. And alligators are swifter because they're smaller, they're closer to, like a lizard.

Cristina: Which one?

Jack: A crocodile.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: While an alligator. So slow. Well, it's not really slow if it got really of, like, really, really got a problem. The good thing is they have short stamina.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: And that's where the difference is. But if you, like, had to run a substantial difference and you were tired, you're now running it, you're f*****.

Cristina: Would it chase you a lot of time?

Jack: It won't because it needs to cool off and they try to stay by water so that. That, like, holds your swimming.

Cristina: That's it.

Jack: You're not winning. Yeah. But at least you're not as f***** as a hippo. No, like a hippos, the craziest thing. It'll outrun you on foot. It'll outrun you in the water.

Cristina: There are different types of hippos. There has to be. Right.

Jack: It has to be right. Like, be weird if there weren't just one kind of a hippo out there.

Cristina: Because they all look the same to me.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: So it's like elephants.

Jack: I'm sure there's a bunch of different kind of elephants.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Or horses.

Cristina: There's definitely.

Jack: Yeah. I'm sure there's no way there's one of anything.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Right. Even if they look the same, but.

Cristina: For hippos, they've always looked the same. I guess I would have to just look at different types of hippos to really know.

Jack: But they showed us two different kinds of hippos at the same time. Maybe we'd be like, wait, why does this one look like. You know. And then if we saw enough of them, be like, well, this kind of hippo, is that because of that thing kind of like crocodile, Alligator.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's like they kind of the same, but when you really think about it, you're like, ah, but you have a smaller, pointier nose.

Cristina: Yeah. So there has to be different hippos. I don't know. It's just every hippo looks like the same hippo to me.

Jack: Yeah. It's like elephants. All the elephants look more or less the same.

Cristina: Yeah. I don't know. I feel more of the hippo than the elephant. I feel like there's probably differences with the elephants. Maybe you could tell from their ears, the ear shape, know how they have.

Jack: Oh, interesting. Yeah.

Cristina: Like there's probably something that's telling. I don't know.

Jack: Or rhinoceroses. Like, there's a type of a creature that it looks like they're almost the same s*** in any other, like, version of it. Like, I'm sure there's different kinds of rhinos.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But I got one, like, image of a rhino.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Now, it could be because our country is ignorant of this type of animals.

Cristina: Yes. Because they're not common.

Jack: Because they're not common. And in the countries where those animals are common, they could just tell them apart.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You know.

Cristina: Well, but even some animals that are common here, I don't think I tell the difference. Like a type of squirrel.

Jack: Fair enough. Oh, well, no, there are types of squirrels. There's the regular squirrel and for example, the flying squirrel. You can already tell those two apart.

Cristina: Yeah, well, yeah. That's very different, though.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: No, I don't.

Jack: Is a chipmunk a squirrel?

Cristina: Huh? Yes. I think I could tell a chipmunk from a squirrel apart, at least.

Jack: Is it a squirrel? It's a type. They're the same. Like umbrella.

Cristina: I think so.

Jack: Right.

Cristina: I don't know. But then is a rat the same? I don't know.

Jack: Is the chipmunk closer to a rat than it is? Oh, no, A squirrel is a rat.

Cristina: Is a squirrel a rat?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Squirrel's a rodent.

Cristina: Okay. Yes.

Jack: Which is what also chipmunk is, Right?

Cristina: Yeah, I think so. That sounds d***.

Jack: But then there's so many different kinds of rodents. I guess it doesn't work the same as, like, can we tell different types of chipmunks apart?

Cristina: Definitely not if there are different types of chipmunks.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Because I could be like, we could.

Jack: All tell what a feline is until. Different types of felines. But if I'm like, could you tell me two different types of, like, lions?

Cristina: No.

Jack: Right?

Cristina: No. Yes.

Jack: And now. Well, there are many different types of canines, but, like, you could probably tell me many differences between the different kinds of huskies, which region one came from or what. Those are common to us.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We can see the white husky and be like, oh, that's from this side. Well, that. That blue. And like. Okay, that one's more wolf. Because this.

Cristina: Okay. I think that's. Yeah. Dogs are easier, I guess.

Jack: Same thing with cats. There's. We could just say house cat. I could say Japanese bobcat, or I could say Siamese cat. Or like, you know, these are different types of domesticated cats.

Cristina: I think people know more dog types than cat types.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

Cristina: Or breeds, or whatever you want to call it. Breeds.

Jack: We could tell the breeds apart and then we can tell difference up between. Within the breeds. We can get really granular with dogs.

Cristina: Exactly. Yes. With the Dog? Yep.

Jack: Like, there could be a Chihuahua, but it could be Chihuahuas from many different places. And you can tell different types of Chihuahuas. And Chihuahuas are pure Chihuahuas and things like that. We could just tell by looking at them.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But like, I couldn't do that with an elephant.

Cristina: Or a rat.

Jack: Or a rat. Well, we don't look at rats enough. You know, Also, we live in a weird bubble without them.

Cristina: What about hamsters? Everyone has hamsters. Okay, maybe not everyone has hamsters, but.

Jack: Could you tell difference between two different types of hamsters, or are they just both hamsters to you?

Cristina: Yeah, they're probably just hamsters because have.

Jack: You looked at enough hamsters to be this is what's different? Or whatever? F***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But, like, I've recently been learning a lot about horses. And before, horses all look the f****** same to me.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But now it can start telling you some differences. I can't get granular with it, but I can tell you, like, different types of horse.

Cristina: Yeah. You know enough about horse.

Jack: I know enough about horses. I know Turkomani and the Arabians, man.

Cristina: Are there separate in that? Like, are they all the same?

Jack: What do you mean?

Cristina: Like, is that the breed?

Jack: Those are. Yeah. Well, I guess it's countries where they come from and a lot of the horses are acknowledged for the country that breeds that type of horse, even if there might be variants that aren't necessarily country related, but within the country, that same type of horse might have different variants. Yes, but you can tell who. Who bred it based on the type of code and based on the behaviors that the horse like, the traits it has.

Cristina: So you can tell what country you came from?

Jack: Yeah, a lot of the time.

Cristina: Okay, well. And they look so different from each other, though eventually you tell the difference. At least from a big horse to a small horse is the easiest to tell the difference. Yeah, like, I don't know.

Jack: Like, I. My Google search for this took place in me asking the God of all knowledge, what's the best horse in the world?

Cristina: You asked Google that?

Jack: Well, I asked Google And I guess YouTube is also Google.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And just went down a rabbit hole of people who love horses, talking horses.

Cristina: And what's their best.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Did they all agree.

Jack: They all agree that the greatest horse in the world is the Arabian. But the videos I was focusing on are other than. Because everybody had the same argument on the Arabian. Okay. So other than the Arabians, who's the next best? And everybody goes to the Turk and.

Cristina: It'S because they're the prettiest they're beautiful.

Jack: They're elegant. They're tall. They're slender. Their performance is great. They're incredibly intelligent or incredibly fast.

Cristina: Do they have contests? Like, you know how in the date. You know how we do with the dogs? And we have contests for dogs.

Jack: Right.

Cristina: And competitions. That's what I mean. You have dog competitions that, you know, test out their ability, how they pay attention, all these different things about the dog or whatever, and they look at their coat and see how good it's kept and etc. Is that picky?

Jack: Yeah, we have contests like that for horse.

Cristina: Yeah, I guess we would have that for everything.

Jack: Yeah. 100 for random.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: There's probably a cat version of that.

Cristina: Oh, there might be a cat version of that. What?

Jack: Yeah, it's probably.

Cristina: Yes. I just know I've seen a few dog ones.

Jack: Interesting. Man, this is so much crap we don't know about. Crap we don't know anything about anything.

Cristina: There's too much to know.

Jack: There's too much to know.

Cristina: There's too much. You just gotta pick a thing.

Jack: You just gotta know that you can pick many things.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You'll never get everything.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: And the more things you pick, the less you'll know about any one specific thing. But everything is infinite.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So you could, in theory, dive fully into one thing and know nothing else and never finish about.

Cristina: And there's some people that do that too.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: That's crazy.

Jack: There are people who are experts in one area and retarded everywhere else, and people who are not even experts, but, like, really proficient in many areas. There are people who are experts in many areas. There are people who suck in a lot of areas, but they know enough about each area to survive.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Yeah, that's pretty awesome.

Cristina: Mm. But there's just too much to know.

Jack: Too much.

Cristina: No one can ever know anything. Everything about anything.

Jack: No, but they will say everything about everything and. No. Everything about any.

Cristina: Anything.

Jack: Yeah. No, that's right.

Cristina: Like, experts would say that they. They know.

Jack: We know all the. No, you don't know.

Cristina: You don't know.

Jack: You just. You know everything you could. Or that you've thought about figuring out. D***. That's the hard one. Swallow. Like you haven't even thought of all the questions yet. How do you know everything?

Cristina: No, you don't.

Jack: You don't even know what questions you have not answered yet. The best way would be to say, we've answered every question we've asked. Yeah, that's a good way to sell something. We've answered every question we've Ever asked. Now, when somebody asks a question that you did not think of, we broke it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's what happens with math and science all the f****** time.

Cristina: That's. Yeah. That's why, you know, that you can't know about everything.

Jack: Yeah. Because. Especially with math, because science is primarily based on math and math will stumble upon weird s***. And it'd be like, well, this because that. But like, why is this over here going on? It's like, well, we don't know just how it happened.

Cristina: It happens.

Jack: And that's okay. Because most people think math is infallible. Right. And that's like, wrong. There are unsolved math problems, a ton of them just out there, and they might have a solution.

Cristina: Answers are come up, like, I guess problems are solved. That's what I meant.

Jack: Probably not often some of these have stood the test of time.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like math problems, just not forever. And we always think, like math. No, that's the most solid thing. It helps us with everything. But can you imagine if we found out there was some part of math we didn't understand that made everything else function? Because we didn't know that we didn't know it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then when we figured out, we're like, f*** every. Everything.

Cristina: We started with math and we learned different things. We haven't added anything recently, but from like 1 to. What is it, 1 to 10 to 0 and then negative numbers and then.

Jack: Well, no, there's things added to math all the time.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I mean, taught in school.

Cristina: But even now there's still things discovered.

Jack: And added to figure out things that you could do with math progressively.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: Yeah. That's sort of the problem people think, and they kind of try to convince.

Cristina: Us that it's all solved, that it's.

Jack: All solved and math is infallible. And it's not. It's not. There are problems that have never been solved. And can you imagine if in solving one of those, we realize every other thing that we've ever. Like the world we built in math.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Or the world we built around us based on math.

Cristina: Was wrong.

Jack: Was wrong because of some piece we didn't even know to question before.

Cristina: Yes. Do we just pretend that that doesn't exist? Because that's a lot. That's a lot to redo.

Jack: Yeah. Well, we have to do all of everything. Or like, it's worked as long as we. But can you imagine? We find out, well, this is why peace never happened.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's like, what, it was a math problem.

Cristina: Yeah. But then I guess we would try to solve it.

Jack: Like it's too late now because how far down the decimal points we went, you know? Yeah, like we're here. This is. We should have started this back then, but we only figured it out now. Cuz we're f****** stupid. And built society without understanding.

Cristina: Yeah, math is complicated.

Jack: Why the f*** we don't even know if we can go to. Because we don't know anything. We don't even know if we can go to the center of the ocean where nobody owns it.

Cristina: Every question. Yeah there is to know.

Jack: We don't know if we can make an island in the middle of the f****** ocean.

Cristina: We'll never be able to make an island in the middle ocean.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: Because that's crazy. That's as crazy as making a city underwater. Like in Bioshock.

Jack: But like, I mean, who says what? I mean it's a logistic nightmare. I understand, but it's not. I doubt it's impossible.

Cristina: I think it's impossible.

Jack: You definitely need compression technology. Well, no. There's facilities underwater.

Cristina: Are there?

Jack: There are.

Cristina: Those are realistic. Yeah.

Jack: I mean not like way in the bottom of the center of the ocean.

Cristina: They make it seem like we're not.

Jack: We're also not gonna have a facility down in the bottom of the ocean. We're gonna just throw crap down there that's gonna compress with the weight of more crap until it gets to the top.

Cristina: Isn't someone gonna complain that we're.

Jack: Who? We're not throwing just like McDonald's wrappings in there.

Cristina: Are you sure?

Jack: It's just we're using dirt and like.

Cristina: We'Re building a thing from another country.

Jack: And on the flip side. Don't be crazy. We decide we're gonna own this. We're gonna build it and we take. We buy all the literal garbage from everywhere. But we need a way to contain it from spreading out. Because we would turn all into the solid that we would use to then put the island in the solving a huge problem. The amount of pollution we would cause with machinery running to build the island though would definitely not compensate for the like we're taking trash and we're causing. Probably causing more pollution than it is we're solving.

Cristina: So won't people complain?

Jack: Nobody can stop us. Why can somebody force like, I don't know, North Korea to have less emissions? No, they do what the they want.

Cristina: But we're not a real country. We.

Jack: As soon as. That's my point. Do we become a real country?

Cristina: But like probably one is done. But if someone tries to stop us.

Jack: Beforehand, who is allowed?

Cristina: I don't know. But, like, if someone does, like, once.

Jack: I'm not in your shores and I'm.

Cristina: Far enough of a country yet because the country's not finished, can't they stop you because you're still part of whatever country you're from?

Jack: How am I part of whatever? Who's stopping me? I mean, once I leave their waters, what jurisdiction do they have? I'm not the property of f****** the United Kingdoms or the United States. I'm not their property. Once I'm out of their thing, I.

Cristina: Don'T tell you it's wrong. Then, like, they'll arrest you if you decide to come back from your island.

Jack: Why do they have the right to tell me it's wrong? I doubt that's accurate. That could not be the case. I doubt it. I believe once I'm out of whatever the radius is.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: This is the only thing that makes sense because we would be killing everybody all the time for the most water.

Cristina: For the most water.

Jack: The only way to solve this problem is to say there's a distance from your land and that's it.

Cristina: But they might want to try to stop you from reaching that Disney have.

Jack: Then I will immediately contact the countries that support the treaty because that means somebody else is enforcing some s*** in public water. And now if they can do that means you can.

Cristina: Because you're traveling their water to get to your water. They could stop you from traveling their.

Jack: Water income to their businesses. They're not allowed to do that. No. Because that's an independent country. And so because there's an independent country doing business and doing business with that country and they have legal rights to that water and they can come in and out of that water for work.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And then they take that to the middle of the ocean where they're dumping it. And I get this done by all the countries that are willing to help.

Cristina: And build one country. Who would want to help?

Jack: Well, however many of these companies there are, it's not the country itself helping. It's just different companies. I'm hiring from all these different countries.

Cristina: The actual countries aren't happy with what you're doing.

Jack: They can't do anything.

Cristina: They can get those companies in trouble.

Jack: Right. And then the company will help you. But I doubt every single company from every single country, some countries gonna be like, yeah, it's fine. I don't. If they're gonna enforce s*** on the water, then they're trying to look for a fight, because we can all do that.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And there nobody Wants that heat.

Cristina: No.

Jack: You decide to be the first to enforce what stops every other country in the world from turning on you for disobeying the whole we're not gonna grab all the water treaty.

Cristina: Mm. Okay.

Jack: You know.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The moment you say they can't is because you feel you have authority over that water that cannot be claimed.

Cristina: But they're talk. But what if they're just talking about the water that they own, though? They don't want you to go into their water.

Jack: I'm not going into their water.

Cristina: These businesses are right. They're going every fourth from your water to their water.

Jack: The problem that you're seeing here is If I hired 150 companies from 150 different countries, every single one of the 150 countries said no. They all had the same idea. Then they disagreed with each other, which has never happened in the history of ever.

Cristina: No.

Jack: That would be the easiest way to make peace. I should start this project just to establish world peace, because I can get everybody to agree on one thing or more risk. Realistically, there'll be some countries that are like, whatever, do what you want.

Cristina: Okay, so you got to go to that country. Yeah, maybe. I feel like that's more realistic.

Jack: That's way more realistic. I doubt the don't build this island in the middle of uncharted waters movement is not how we establish world peace. But, like, yeah, the argument you're putting forward says that might be possible.

Cristina: No, I think, yeah, some countries will agree.

Jack: Some countries might even not agree, but they're gonna disagree simply because they don't like one of the countries that agreed.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And it's like, no, you can't do it. And it's like, well, we f****** hate you. So he can do it now. What?

Cristina: And he can use all our dirt.

Jack: Yeah, use all our dirt. We'll give you dirt.

Cristina: Yes. I don't know. And then both. Then would they want your island to be part of their island?

Jack: No, because you do all these things. Like, maybe, you know, we want to establish direct trade ports first because, you know, we supported you.

Cristina: Yeah. I imagine this is Russia the only country that decides that they're gonna help you.

Jack: But also, I mean, China's on board, too, for sure.

Cristina: Yeah. Like, those countries are like, yeah, we'll do this, but, you know, I'm down. We get something.

Jack: If Russia wants me to build is down to support me to build an island in the middle of nowhere.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Then I'll accept it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Come on, Russia. Come on, China. Let's do this. Let's team up so I can build this island and we can have 30 people shows. They're gonna gain nothing, but their companies will. I guess they do, because that tax comes through their com, through their country.

Cristina: And maybe you have to, like, advertise their countries or something.

Jack: Yeah, I know. Because their products already have, like, watermarks and crap on them.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So it's like. Yeah, your products are in our country, and the buildings that are in here were built by your people. So, you know, Russian buildings in China. I'll let you make them look however you want. It doesn't matter. Yeah, a building, I guess.

Cristina: AIM building.

Jack: Mean by both the Russians and the.

Cristina: Chinese of each leader.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: And on every. Everywhere, actually, they just have statues of themselves all over the island.

Jack: It's a small island. There probably only fit two statues in the audience.

Cristina: Oh, okay. And the audience. And what about the other audience?

Jack: Yeah, yeah, all of the. Everything we discussed would fit on that island with a little more room so that at night we don't all drown to death. Also, they're only there on that island for one hour.

Cristina: For one hour. Oh, yeah. Because of the show.

Jack: The show's only an hour.

Cristina: Yeah, it has to be a little longer than an hour.

Jack: I mean, they arrive before and after. Well, we don't have to worry about the people in the outer circle. So it's like when the last of the 30 walks into the inner circle, the show just immediately begins. Yes, that's when the clock starts on the spot.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And as soon as it's over, we just get on the chopper and we're out. We're off to the nearest boat where we board a jet and that takes us away.

Cristina: And then we go on to our other island with the zombies.

Jack: Yes. Yes. Zombie Island.

Cristina: Yeah, that's where we.

Jack: That's part of a country.

Cristina: That's part of country. What country owns that island?

Jack: That's wherever the f*** the UFC Fight island is.

Cristina: The Fight island owns the other island.

Jack: Well, whatever island. Well, Fight island is owned by somebody.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But it's a tiny little country or some s*** like that.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So Fight island is part of that country, and we are part of whatever that country is. Yeah, I mean, we're there illegally anyways. Who cares?

Cristina: Yeah. I think we took over Fight island and put the zombies there.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: And that's how we ended up owning the island.

Jack: Yes. And it's also a castle made of toilet paper.

Cristina: And a theme park.

Jack: And a theme park. Yeah, it's a. Yeah, it's a fort and a theme park.

Cristina: Yep. That's a cool island.

Jack: It's the best island made of all the toilet. Because we know the toilet paper fights the COVID and that's why that island came to be. Because toilet paper fights Covid, and that's.

Cristina: Why we're still alive.

Jack: And that's why we're still alive.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's the logic of the world. So I guess that's the way to have this show, really.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: We're gonna. We gotta go get all the resources, pay all the companies. We got a lot of paperwork to do.

Cristina: A lot.

Jack: A lot of paperwork. But it's gonna work. It's gonna be great. Everybody's gonna love it.

Cristina: Or you can just go to the park.

Jack: I don't want to pay, and I don't want to ask for permission. I don't have to ask our island permission, and I don't have to pay our island.

Cristina: We go. That's abandoned, and we do it there illegally.

Jack: I'm not breaking the law. Everything I just said was to do it legal. This whole episode is how to do this.

Cristina: Complicated, though.

Jack: Yeah. You rather just break the law instead?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Am I the one who's following the rules this time?

Cristina: Your rules are insane.

Jack: I didn't make the rules. I didn't make any of these rules. We're just trying our best to follow these rules and make an island, I guess.

Cristina: What? The whole island thing is crazy too.

Jack: The island thing is crazy, but the rules that made the island thing crazy are the problem.

Cristina: Like, renting a room would have been a better choice.

Jack: And then we could do it inside. But it was supposed to be outdoors.

Cristina: Yes, well, we could. I changed my mind. Let's do it inside.

Jack: So we're just instead scrapping everything.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So this episode is essentially like a Family Guy dream episode.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Where they're like, how angry would people get if they found out that none of this is ever gonna happen? Because they were. They were convinced we were about to do this.

Cristina: No, they weren't. Everybody made it into this.

Jack: No, everybody made it through this whole episode. And they're like, well, you know, this is amazing. And I can't wait to be one of the first 30. Or I guess the only 30.

Cristina: It makes the ticket cheaper, though. They don't have to pay a thousand dollars. They wanted. They wanted on some random island.

Jack: No, they wanted the experience of going to the island. They wanted the experience of going to the island for one hour. What a weird story. They're so mad at you right now.

Cristina: For a thousand dollars, I feel like so Much could go wrong. They're just gonna feel like the island is gonna just. Just. I don't know, drown.

Jack: They're just gonna comment that you ruined their hopes and dreams.

Cristina: No, no.

Jack: Yeah. They're gonna be like, oh. Oh, she ruined it. It was gonna be great. I was gonna have a weird story about taking a weird flight to this place.

Cristina: Who's just like, I was gonna survive that.

Jack: What do you mean, survive it?

Cristina: It's just a horrible idea. I don't know. It's a tiny island.

Jack: What?

Cristina: They'll have garbage and there. I don't know.

Jack: It's gonna be the best island. Come on.

Cristina: People would show up their statues like, what if.

Jack: No, it's gonna be.

Cristina: It's in the middle of, like, the ocean.

Jack: It's built by professionals.

Cristina: Super windy. It's probably extra, extra, extra windy because nothing's there.

Jack: It's built by professionals.

Cristina: The water is gonna kill us. The water is so crazy in that part.

Jack: No, we're gonna.

Cristina: Ocean.

Jack: It's not like this tall of buildings. The water isn't going.

Cristina: Yes. Yes, it is.

Jack: Then again, we don't really know.

Cristina: Right, exactly.

Jack: Because there's nothing out there.

Cristina: Dangerous area. Like, how are we gonna survive? I don't think we survived.

Jack: No, the water doesn't move like that. That'd be crazy.

Cristina: Are you sure?

Jack: Yeah, we just make enough height and we don't have shows when there's, like, a f****** crazy storm.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They're not gonna be traveling there in the middle of a crazy thunderstorm.

Cristina: Like, what if we can't predict the weather there? What if it works like the Bermuda Triangle or whatever?

Jack: That's crazy. What if we build this in the Bermuda Triangle?

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: Is that in the shores of. If that. Is that within the f******. Could we do it in the very middle? We're all people with pain.

Cristina: How would we get it done?

Jack: I don't know. Ships would come in and out somehow.

Cristina: They'll die. We'll lose so many people trying to build it.

Jack: The question is, is that still happening in the Bermuda Triangle? Or was that just some s*** we didn't understand? Now we're like, well, though we have the technology to just easily fly over.

Cristina: It, we probably just fly around it.

Jack: You think we just gave up on it? No, that's not like a f******. There's just. There's not a part of the world. We were just like, f*** that patch.

Cristina: Yeah. Why not?

Jack: At the beginning, I'm sure. I know now. There's like, somebody figured it out. Like, oh, obviously it was this Only planes made of these materials can go through, and they won't get pulled down by the giant magnets at the bottom or whatever the f*** is happening, you know?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like, that area has a specific type of methane gas that destroys engines and then just fails and does not go through it. I mean, they make planes that handle it well, you know, and ships that just floats and made a majority plastic and, like, aluminum.

Cristina: I feel like it's easier for them just to go around it than try to build newer, better planes. Because plane company suck.

Jack: Yeah. Boeing would send people straight through there.

Cristina: And then they die. That's probably gonna happen all the time.

Jack: Both of those planes that crash from Boeing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Enter the Bermuda Triangle. So far away they landed, didn't crash and crash somewhere.

Cristina: Okay. Yeah. But nowhere near the bbut, of course.

Jack: Because we don't know what happens here. They got teleported to where they crashed.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: They were going through the Bermuda Triangle. They blinked out and just hit a mountain or something.

Cristina: Yes. Okay. Yeah, yeah.

Jack: All facts. All this is true stories for days.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: This is a lie anyways. We're running out of time. So now you guys know how we're gonna have the next show. It's gonna be on an island in the middle of what's just conversational.

Cristina: And say it again.

Jack: Just conversation.

Cristina: That's such a hard name to say.

Jack: It's fine. They'll figure it out after I say it.

Cristina: Enough time. Just conversation.

Jack: This conversation. And no.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And it's spelled X equal sign and number one.

Cristina: All right.

Jack: Yeah. And just as we have this island made, we'll post on, you know, Ticketmaster, you guys can buy your tickets to listen to. We also need to make sure Putin and Z send us their statues to put there. We're gonna have everything in front of the statues.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah, it's gonna be great. You guys are gonna come. We're gonna have 30 people in the inner circle and you can hear the show and then 60, because it's bigger outside.

Cristina: Oh, 60 hours.

Jack: So we'll have 60 on the outer circle. They can't hear anything but can watch you having fun.

Cristina: All right.

Jack: Listening to the show.

Cristina: Yep.

Jack: That's maybe. Maybe it'll be a special episode. Two hours long. Because a special location.

Cristina: We're gonna have a guest. A special guest that we don't call.

Jack: Them two in one. Alex Gray coming to you on that episode. Alex Gray. Facts. Is gonna have Alex Gray on this random island.

Cristina: Yes. Well, also, we need his wife because he takes her. What do you mean?

Jack: Allie, Alexandria, Alex. Alex, her, she misses. Yeah. The other is gonna show up as well, and she's gonna love it. And Alex is kind of shy, so she'll do most of the talking. Talk to us about his paintings.

Cristina: Yeah, she's gonna talk to us about his paintings. Yeah.

Jack: Tell us about his art and stuff. And. Yeah, facts. This is. This is factually, without a doubt, we're gonna have an island before the. Don't. Don't doubt us. You can hold us to this. We're honest folk.

Cristina: For the next episode.

Jack: For the very next episode. The next time you hear our voices after this episode, it's going to be taking place on an island.

Cristina: Recording that episode.

Jack: Yeah, 100. It's gonna take place on an island. I mean, we could have a private episode and not show it. And only the people who were there.

Cristina: Oh, that's probably better.

Jack: It's probably better. And then they can't hold us to anything. I'm saying.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So factually, only the people who bought the tickets, and we'll see who the most consistent listeners are and only send them the invites. So if you didn't get an invite, you don't hear this show enough because we tracked you through math or whatever people do.

Cristina: Google somehow.

Jack: Yeah, Google somehow supplies that information. They'll tell us we could. If we could realistically probably just buy it. Yeah, like off of Google, Facebook, Facebook. You have a Facebook?

Cristina: Factually, Facebook has.

Jack: They don't even. They have Google's data of how often you listen. They have Apple's data. Apple didn't even give it to them. Google' Facebook is just hacking in the mainframes and stealing data just to sell it. It's a giant crime organization that we're all just okay with.

Cristina: That's true.

Jack: It's fire. Anyways. So we're gonna get your data and only to the 30 most often listeners. So, you know, start listening more often or you won't ever know that you didn't get that invite. Go listen to all the older episodes. That's all.

Cristina: We only invite 30 piece. What if not all of them accept?

Jack: Yeah, no, no, no.

Cristina: It'll be like 30 that accept.

Jack: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The first 30 that accept it, we're gonna send it out in the first 30 get in.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Okay. That makes sense. Yeah.

Jack: And you guys can listen to all those episodes that are gonna make you more frequent listeners. This is how you enter. Basically, you listen more. So you enter to win an invite in which you pay us.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Fair. So you're gonna get an opportunity to give us money.

Cristina: A thousand dollars.

Jack: Thousand dollars.

Cristina: Which is not much compared to what we're giving you.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. Because you're getting island that's arguably worth multiple billions for an hour.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Wow.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And the show you can't put a price on art.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Priceless. You're getting priceless. And whatever the cost of the island are simultaneously so expensive and priceless.

Cristina: Amazing.

Jack: Oh, value.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: You could listen to all those episodes on the official website greatthoughts.info or on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any way you get your podcast.

Cristina: And you can reach us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Tick Tock at just combo pod.

Jack: Yes. And remember to subscribe so that you get more episodes you see and leave reviews. That's probably a good way to enter as well, because we know you're listening more often. And not just the review. I mean read it, but review it. Throw words in there, you know, so you put little start thingy, little star, someone 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 12, 15, 30, making multiple accounts and give us different reviews. Do whatever. It's up to you.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: We don't care. But do that and also leave reviews.

Cristina: Yeah, that'd be nice.

Jack: Yeah. Words.

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

Jack: Yes. Word of mouth is a very important thing for us. Yeah, We. We just told you how the future show is gonna go. You can't hear it because we're gonna record a normal episode that you're gonna hear. But you'll know that maybe you missed.

Cristina: Out on that on that episode.

Jack: But if you tell more people, then we know we were the guy. Yo, Christy. The guy's information we stole using Facebook and they sold it to us when we gave them $10.

Cristina: That guy told like three people.

Jack: Because we can see his whole friends connections through his phone. Yeah, because Facebook on his phone.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And like we know he's talking to that girl Sandra. And now Sandra tuned in and he was listening and she wasn't listening, which means he told her we got that data. Cuz Facebook. And we'll know that if you told somebody they tuned in and they're your friend. We knew they were your friend before. We're like, how many friends of this guy listen? Not one of them. That one does. Now the odds are he told them.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And we'll just so see if your friend by chance randomly stumbled upon the show. Actually, unless they googled some s***, which we can trace your friends status too, because Facebook gives us all that stuff.

Cristina: Whoever you message, whether it's about a show or not about it, we're just going to know. I'm just going to know cuz Facebook.

Jack: Anyways, yeah.

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

Jack: Bye.

Cristina: Is some language and you heard it like it's common.

Jack: Yeah, I heard a group of people tossing around cuck nug f*** it regularly and then pretending they were angry at one another and joking around.

Cristina: I feel like you would have asked. Why wouldn't you have asked what it meant?

Jack: They were complete strangers. I just heard a group of people talking about cuck nug fuckets.

Cristina: That's not a word.

Jack: You don't know that.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Kug kug nug fug it.

Cristina: No. You could ask Google.

Jack: Google wouldn't know. It might be like a hidden language that Google knows nothing about.

Cristina: Or it's a language that you made up right now.

Jack: I did not make it up. I did not make up Kugnug fugit.

Cristina: Yes you did. Yes you did.

Jack: No.

Cristina: Doesn't sound like anything.

Jack: It's a factual thing. Kugnug fugit.

Cristina: You don't even know the language.

Jack: I don't. Of course not. It was just a bunch of people talking about Kugnug fugitive it.

Cristina: And you can use that in a sentence.

Jack: They were doing it. I don't know how to use it in a sentence. I don't know what it is.

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 Thoughts.info art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth McCallister 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 am your host, Jack.

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

Jack: Yeah. So go find people, tell them, hey, listen to this show. And you got to say with that radio voice. I did right there, hey, listen to the Just Conversation podcast live every Saturday at 8:00am At 8:00am yes. Usually when it goes up, I think, oh, okay. I'm 99% sure that it goes up at 8am okay. So that people have it on weekends.

Cristina: But they have to say, like, that.

Jack: They have to use their radio voice anytime they're referencing anything on the radio.

Cristina: But we're not on the radio.

Jack: You're right. Facts. This is Internet.

Cristina: This is Internet. Yes.

Jack: You're hearing our voice through the interwebs of the world.

Cristina: And the YouTube. I guess that's part of the Internet too.

Jack: But, like, all the things.

Cristina: All the things. Yeah, we're everywhere.

Jack: You can listen to us on wherever you listen to us.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: I mean, if you're already hearing this, then wherever you are is fine, but.

Cristina: You still have to talk in that voice. Are you just talking in that voice to introduce this?

Jack: Yeah, you gotta tell people about the show. Listen to the Just Conversation podcast.

Cristina: Do people still make that voice? I mean, on radio?

Jack: I don't know. Right?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: I feel like it's gotten more casual.

Cristina: It's become more podcasty.

Jack: Yes. There's a. Like, every f****** morning, there's a radio station. I hear that went from being a typical boring station to now just being 24. Seven podcasts.

Cristina: How do they do it? It's not the same people, is it?

Jack: No, it's just like, sport podcasts straight through a channel. It's like, whoa, that's kind of cool that they just, you know, a channel on the radio doing nothing but podcasting. No music. No nothing. Just podcast. No music, no music. Just podcasts.

Cristina: What, and that works for them?

Jack: I have no idea. I have no idea. How do you. How do we go about finding ratings for radio?

Cristina: I'm sure they're out there somewhere. There's gotta be. There's someone rating everything.

Jack: No, not people rating them. Like, how many people see a Thing.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Like, are people tuning in simply because it's a podcast of sorts?

Cristina: Yes. Hasu.

Jack: I don't know, because that's true. Question.

Cristina: Are there a bunch of podcasts about sports because there's a lot of listeners or there's just a lot of people who enjoy talking about sports? Like, is there a lot of people that want to hear about sports or want to talk about sports? What's more, Both.

Jack: I don't. What's more, obviously people who want to hear about sports.

Cristina: It has to be, right?

Jack: Yeah. Like by default, way less people want to talk than there are people who want to talk.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Even people who love talking don't necessarily want to just talk sports. And even people who want to talk sports don't necessarily want to talk sports in front of a microphone.

Cristina: Yeah. And yet so many people do.

Jack: There's not a lot of people in that station. There might be like 12 people. Total 12 people throughout the course of the whole day.

Cristina: The whole day. Yeah.

Jack: Well, you're like, it's not a lot.

Cristina: Who wants to do that? I don't know.

Jack: They do.

Cristina: They do.

Jack: That's why they're doing it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Otherwise they wouldn't be. They'd be like, f*** this job, I'm leaving. Yeah, but like, they like sports. They have to be familiar with sports. It's not a thing you can't. Can not like, and then participate in. You have to know what you're talking about.

Cristina: Mm I wonder if they need to make a channel then for other things. If they can do that with sports, they can definitely do that with just like those ladies that do criminal.

Jack: Oh my God. You're talking about something kind of amazing. Like what if you turned on your radio and instead of hearing s***** music on loops.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: There are stations dedicated to certain. It doesn't even have to be dedicated to certain things. Right. It could be like, you know, true crime is to some degree, it's true based on true crap. And it's dark. So this could be like the late night radio hour starting at like 8:00pm yeah.

Cristina: So it'll be like watching TV, but.

Jack: Yeah, but on the radio.

Cristina: Podcast.

Jack: And so the radio then plays it in disorder. So during a day they'll have more kid friendly things.

Cristina: Educational.

Jack: Educational, Yes. I guess not kid friendly because what kid is going to listen to podcasts but educational things and stuff. Funny things or funny things, but you know, not rated R. Yeah. And it's pretty much going to be education, like NPR stuff. A bunch of NPR stuff in the middle of the day and, like, shows that just talk about interesting things and talk to interesting people in relatively average ways.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then towards the late nights, you get the true crime podcast, the paranormal podcast, all these other kinds of fringy things. And maybe throughout the day, sprinkled, you get a couple of audio dramas. One here, one there. And so you got a little bit of everything going on.

Cristina: You need some audio dramas. What?

Jack: Yeah, that'd be pretty badass.

Cristina: Yeah. Let's start this channel.

Jack: You know who should, though? Scott Aukerman with all the Earwolf shows.

Cristina: We should do a radio.

Jack: Radio station that you just tune in and there's a schedule.

Cristina: Oh, yes.

Jack: Oh, yeah.

Cristina: That's a lot of stuff.

Jack: And then people fight for time slots all over again. Like, you could put it up whenever you want. That still works.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But your wolf radio is also going to want it. So your show has to be of a certain quality at the same time that you can still put it up.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And if it's. That if it meets the requirements, it could move to prime time. You want to get to prime time? When is the prime time for people to listen to podcasts? You want to be there.

Cristina: I feel like it. Wouldn't Comedy Bang Bang end up there. It would be his own show or.

Jack: No, it would be whatever makes him the most money.

Cristina: Ah, okay.

Jack: You know.

Cristina: Yes, yes.

Jack: Like, if it's prob. Out of all the things on Earwolf, Comedy Bang Bang is the powerhouse.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But, like, how did this get made pretty up there?

Cristina: How did this. Oh, yes.

Jack: That's way listened to show.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: You know, so there's things.

Cristina: There are things, yes.

Jack: And Conan's shows on Earwolf, isn't it?

Cristina: I think so.

Jack: D***. That might be the moneymaker. That might be more than one that.

Cristina: I don't know if it's on that, though. The one that. What's his name? Will Ferrell. He does.

Jack: He's on Earwolf as well.

Cristina: I'm not sure, but if that is a Earwolf show. Whoa.

Jack: Interesting. Interesting.

Cristina: But I'm not sure if that is. Or if he's even still doing that. That might have been just a.

Jack: No, I think he's still doing it.

Cristina: Oh, really?

Jack: Yeah, I think he's still doing it. What the h*** is it called? The Ron Burgundy show.

Cristina: He must really love that character. I don't know if he does. I find him annoying, but people love that character.

Jack: Ron Burgundy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. People f****** hate Ron Burgundy.

Cristina: Oh, people hate that.

Jack: Well, no, people love Ron Burgundy.

Cristina: They love to Hate him.

Jack: Because they hate Ron Burgundy. They're like, this is a despicable human. You know who Ron Burgundy would get along with?

Cristina: Who?

Jack: Bad Grandpa.

Cristina: What?

Jack: They're the same vein.

Cristina: Like, I don't know.

Jack: But, you know, I do love the Ronald Burgundy podcast.

Cristina: You do?

Jack: Yeah. I love this. I hate it, and I love it.

Cristina: So you're the exact people that listen.

Jack: The specific episode that's the best is when we couldn't tell whether Peter Dinklage was acting or not.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And it's like, yes, they're acting. We have to look this up to find out he was acting. But, God, he's such a good actor.

Cristina: Yes. Because it sounded like he was really there to read some poetry.

Jack: Like, who the h*** doesn't want to hear poet, dude? I was angry because it's like, peter Dinklish is gonna read f****** poetry, dude.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Holy f***.

Cristina: Yeah. And I think the story was, like, it was his child's poetry or some weird story like that. I don't know, man.

Jack: So awesome. Peter Dinklage reading poetry. I was truly intrigued. I'm like, yeah, this is awesome. And then Ron just f****** it up.

Cristina: And it was so believable.

Jack: Yeah. It's because Will Ferrell is also a great actor.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So Will Ferrell playing this troll. Committed to the troll.

Cristina: And Peter Dinklage being outraged.

Jack: So committedly.

Cristina: Yes. Very believable.

Jack: Yeah, man. That was pretty great. I dig it. Hated every second of it. Beloved every second of it. Because if it can make you feel anything, it's doing what it was meant to do.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's the point of all art, Right. To make you feel some s*** one way or another.

Cristina: But all art. I don't know. I don't know.

Jack: Fair enough. Not all art. No.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Something. It doesn't have to be the. Feel the same thing.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: It comes into the idea of, like, abstract paintings, right?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Where you're looking for aesthetic. A color pattern that works in the painting or type of strokes that look a certain way. An effect. You're looking for an effect.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Not necessarily something to provoke emotion, because I find it could, but that's 99% of the time. Just pretentious art douchebags who are pretending there's something in there.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: I love to talk to an artist who's like, yeah, my art had no f****** meaning. And then they tell me, like, but the f****** idiots selling it swear there was meaning, and the people buying it were dumber who ate it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. But the Passion behind his strokes. And it was so you can see the anger in the thing.

Cristina: And it's like selling a story that's really good. It's not even about the art anymore. It's about the story.

Jack: Well, this is my point. People are eating that s*** up, but there's nothing f****** there.

Cristina: There is the story that guys is.

Jack: Selling, then you are not feeling the painting.

Cristina: Well, the story. You think the painting.

Jack: It's not about the painting. The painting had none of that.

Cristina: No. Well, the artist didn't, but the person who's seeing it now does have that.

Jack: Yeah, but it's not about the. It's what they were pitched on.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: It has nothing to do with the painting.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Somebody invented a narrative, and now somebody's following the narrative and they're associating it with the painting. But that did not come from the painting.

Cristina: That didn't. I know.

Jack: While the artist is like, well, this combination of red and white goes great with my kitchen. That's red and white.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You know, and it's like just the strokes and whatever. There's. You know, my kitchen has stripes on the walls, and I wanted to make some nice vertical stripes that match the color schem. Assuming somebody else has a similar thing going on somewhere in their lives. And they see and they're like, oh, this goes perfectly. There's no emotion in the sense of, oh, I feel the anger. But there is a pleasant aesthetic feeling, like, when you just see something beautiful.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That is what you're trying. So you're trying to get them to.

Cristina: Feel something, but just not a strong feeling.

Jack: It could be strong. You could be like, this is so beautiful. I've seen abstract art, and I'm like, what the f***? This is amazing.

Cristina: How did they do it? Yeah, usually.

Jack: But I'm also not like, oh, I can see the sadness in the. Like, who the f***, dude, Come on.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You know, it's like you're getting them to feel something different. There's the boring basic emotions. Oh, make you sad, make you happy, make you angry.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Make you depressed. Whatever. You know, make you feel love or whatever. But then there's the more obscure, abstract emotions, like just beautiful without emotion other than beautiful. Not happy, beautiful. It could be dark and beautiful. It could be sad and beautiful, could be gloomy and beautiful. But the beauty is what you're looting to. It's just like, wow, this is really impressive. Or how elegant the way the brush moves or whatever.

Cristina: Some abstract feeling for abstract feelings versus.

Jack: Just the normal boring feelings that everybody gets.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That if you can do that, that's the purpose of art, I think. I think it's also crazy subjective, but that's what I believe the true point of art is you're gonna feel something if you feel nothing. But also, I think it would be impossible to feel nothing.

Cristina: I think it's impossible. There's no way. You have to feel something.

Jack: Even if it's like.

Cristina: Even if it's positive or negative. Yeah. Like, if it's like, I don't like it or I do like it, that's something.

Jack: But if you could manage to be neutral, that's garbage.

Cristina: There's no way you could be neutral about it. I don't think that's possible. I don't think you could be neutral about any art.

Jack: You don't think that. You look at it and you're like.

Cristina: Okay, no, I don't know if that's possible. That's so weird.

Jack: You neither feel good nor bad about it. It's just like, okay, it's a thing.

Cristina: No way. But I guess there has to be. Maybe for photography, I don't know.

Jack: No, everything has to have. Everything has to. Have you seen a photo that you're like, no, that's a photo.

Cristina: Yes, that's a photo. I guess.

Jack: But then you see a photo, you're like, how the f*** did he catch that?

Cristina: Yeah, but that's. I guess, a person who's not trying to do something and someone who is.

Jack: Sometimes great things happen by accident. Making assumptions here.

Cristina: Yeah. Yes, I am.

Jack: Sometimes great things happen by accident. That's perfectly fine. You're skilled when you could do it intentionally. Yeah, but awesome things happen by accident.

Cristina: But in our accident, everywhere.

Jack: Everywhere, there are no exceptions to the rule. There are just as many talented people as. There are skilled people as. There is random look.

Cristina: Okay, yeah, there is random look.

Jack: Sometimes you're just f****** around and something happened, and now that's gonna be your thing because now you're obsessed with figuring out how to do it. Yes, but it happened by accident like that.

Cristina: The painter you interviewed, it was by accident, and now it's her thing.

Jack: Yes, Renee. Renee, Renee.

Cristina: Yes. She found her thing by accident.

Jack: By accident. She just threw the paint on a canvas and then came back the next day and saw what looked like a face and then started picking at it. By accident. Was that there? She's had a moment of frustration, and that is exactly what happened. Sometimes by accident. And then you're like, whoa, wow, there's something here.

Cristina: Yeah, but to redo it, that's how that seems Harder to do once you.

Jack: Yeah. That's when you commit to it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because now you know where you're looking.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Before, you were just winging it. Now you know where you're looking.

Cristina: Yes. Yes. How did we get here? From the radio.

Jack: Because the radio is going to put podcasts on the radio. And then we're talking about Ron Burgundy, because Earwolf would be on the radio, and we were saying, is Ron Burgundy part of that? And then talking about that great episode in which it made us both angry.

Cristina: And happy, and that made us think of art.

Jack: Because art, that's art. That's like, all things.

Cristina: Okay. That's art.

Jack: That's art. It is a performance you're putting on.

Cristina: Yes. Everything's art.

Jack: Everything is art. Everything is art. For sure.

Cristina: Yeah. Is that what we're getting from everything? Is that why people love the Internet? It's just art.

Jack: The problem is when you consume more than you return, when you take more out of the world than you put into the world, you are a problem. You are a resource draining problem. That's why you become the product.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Not the consumer.

Cristina: But don't you need some of that? I guess. I don't know.

Jack: Not really. You don't need a consumer. I mean, you don't need a product. Not a person as a product.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But because so many people become just. They don't give anything.

Cristina: Mmm.

Jack: They become the product. So there's three kinds of people, Right. There's a person who makes a thing, there's a person who buys the thing, and there's a person who is the thing. Person who buys, person who makes the thing, we will call the artist.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The person who buys the thing has supported the artist.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The person who just watches the thing without buying the thing or without making the thing is the thing. That's that artist went outside, saw that guy doing nothing, made a painting about that person doing nothing as commentary for people doing nothing, and sold it to the guy who buys paintings.

Cristina: Okay. So the person buying the things is not a problem.

Jack: They're not as great as the other guy, but they're supporting he who puts back.

Cristina: Okay. Yes.

Jack: So you're either the one putting back or you're making it easier for somebody else to put back.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But if you're just taking your. A resource problem.

Cristina: Yes. Like the people who steal off of music and.

Jack: Yes, exactly. If you're burning s***, you're stealing.

Cristina: Yeah. You're taking away someone else's.

Jack: Yes. They made that. People who watch like, UFC for free, they're a problem. They're a problem. Those fighters rely on the pay that the company gives them. The pay is based on how much money comes in from people buying all the locations from which they can watch. If you're sneakily taking it illegally for free, then that money never makes it to them. So they're missing some of the money that they're earning because you're stealing it. Yeah, they got you to watch, but they didn't get you to give them the money that you owe them. Now, that's theft. That is stealing somebody's art, somebody's creation. They put their bodies on the line so that you can have entertainment, something you won't do because you're f****** too scared to go and f****** get in a cage with somebody to go train because it's too time consuming and you're too scared, and you don't have the discipline. Meanwhile, you don't want to give him five bucks.

Cristina: That's crazy.

Jack: That's all he's charging. Five dollars. Give me five dollars a month, and I'll give you my body to watch.

Cristina: Yeah. What?

Jack: You can do it.

Cristina: Mm. That's a problem.

Jack: That's a problem.

Cristina: So that's a huge problem. You call them the product.

Jack: Those people are the product.

Cristina: Even though what makes them a product?

Jack: I guess, because they are who everyone else is going to base their things on. Usually the person who's creating is using that person to create. Okay, so in the case of an artist, you're painting the flaws of the world. You're painting your inner thoughts, the things that bother you, the things that trigger you.

Cristina: And they're probably part of that.

Jack: They're probably part of that. Those people who are the ones who are not serving the world in any good way, those are the people you're making the art about. Then you're selling that to the person who's paying for the art.

Cristina: Yeah, but the person buying is not a problem.

Jack: The person buying is not a problem. Look at it like this. Let's use the UFC thing as an example again.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Bunch of people steal.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So what does Dana White, the person who owns ufc, do? He hires a team of tech people to figure out how to invent a system that can allow them to track the people.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Who are stealing it. To ban them now. To ban them. Yeah. Now, these people are the creators, and they're getting paid by Dana, the consumer, to solve the problem of the third party, the problem.

Cristina: Okay, so the product is a problem.

Jack: At the same time, the product is. You're always solving for the product.

Cristina: Yes. Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah. Somebody needs to consume.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And somebody needs to create. If you don't fall into either one of those two places, you're what's being traded.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: In the case of YouTube, there are the people who pay for YouTube.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: There are the people who make YouTube.

Cristina: And there are people who see for.

Jack: Free, and there are people who watch it for free. So what was the workaround? Somebody got creative and decided, bomb those people with the ads.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now you're solving. So you. The consumer is paying to not get the ads, and the creator is creating the content that you are not getting the ads for. The thing that got sold in the interaction was the person who is watching it for free. You watching the ads is making it possible for the person who is making the content to get paid from the ads and from direct money that the other guy is giving to the creator.

Cristina: Both the people are helping. Both the other types of people. Not the creator, but the.

Jack: No, the person watching for free had to be solved for.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Which is where the ads came in.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because you can get people to give direct money.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But, like, if there are no ads, why would I give direct money?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So now you put ads in place, people will give direct money, and you're solving for the people who don't want to give direct money.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: I guess they became the product.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So you're selling them.

Cristina: You're selling them. That sounds so horrible.

Jack: But it's the case. It's always the case.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: In order to solve the UFC problem, you're selling the people. Those people are now the product you are selling. I need you to take these people into account. They're the free one. So I'm paying you to solve that problem. You make money because. F*** those people.

Cristina: But which people are you talking about?

Jack: The people who are watching it for free. In every case, it's the same people.

Cristina: No, no, no. Who's the other person that you're paying?

Jack: The tech people. Oh, who are solving the issue.

Cristina: Yeah. Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Which they do for video games too, don't they? Like people who hack GTA or something like that.

Jack: Yes. Yes. You are the cheater. Now you. Somebody became a paid individual.

Cristina: Dude, you probably get in trouble for that.

Jack: Somebody became a paid individual to solve you.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: There's the people who pay. You don't got to worry about them. There's people who made it. You don't got to worry about them. The people who are trying to get things for free. Now, there is a third party involved to Solve for you.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You are the problem. The other two people are doing their part, so that is definitely how it goes.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Always some sort of problem out there.

Cristina: Yeah. So when are you gonna start this radio station?

Jack: I don't know. That would be amazing. I would love for that radio station to be created to turn on the radio. And there's nothing but podcasts and you randomly discover new podcasts and you're like, oh, s***, what's the name of this show? I want to go find it on, like, Spotify or whatever.

Cristina: Yeah. I wonder why that's not a thing yet. What is radio doing?

Jack: Radio and television are so slow to catch on.

Cristina: They really are.

Jack: How the f*** is cable surviving still?

Cristina: Exactly. Who has cable still?

Jack: They've tried everything. They're surviving off of their streaming services.

Cristina: The cable.

Jack: Yeah, they still have the traditional cable for like the 10 people who still have it. Yeah, but like, they also offer stream services. Way more people will pay you directly then you having to pay certain people to be on their channel. And whatever comes back afterwards is what you get. Because that's how like a cable company works, right?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: You get put on their thing. I'm assuming you give them money of some sort. You give them money at the beginning. I want to be on your thing. And then over the cost of what I give you, whatever extra is directed towards me, I get. Or I guess it doesn't have to be that way. Put me on your thing. So you put us on your cable.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then if we make. That's free content. Yeah, I see. So we make the content. We put it on your TV platform. So your 30 channel cable package. Yeah, you put our channel there. And from our channel we get whatever percentage of views is total.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So if we got 3% and 3% of all the money you get minus your cut belongs to us. That makes sense, right?

Cristina: I think so. I don't know. I don't know how cable works.

Jack: Think of Spotify. How music plays.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: There's a billion trillion freaking songs on Spotify.

Cristina: Do they have advertisement on Spotify?

Jack: Yeah. Okay, but there's a billion trillion tracks on Spotify. And based on the total number of listens, whatever percentage of everything that is, you get that percent of the total money that comes in after Spotify takes its cut.

Cristina: Yeah. That's probably what cable does.

Jack: Yeah. So if Spotify makes a billion $100 million and they take 100 million as their cut, there's only a billion dollars left. But Eminem does 1% of all listens on The Internet on Spotify. Okay, so he gets, what, $10 million out of that?

Cristina: Okay, so it depends on, like, how well you did and everything. Okay, Right.

Jack: So he would. Because it's 1%. 1% equals 10 million. I'm assuming that's right. Boom, he has his cut. Because he was worth 1%.

Cristina: Yeah. You think he's worth 1%?

Jack: H*** no. H*** no. There's way too many.

Cristina: Too many.

Jack: Too much. The print. Like, if the percentage is such a small decimal, it'd be like three points down before you even have a digit.

Cristina: Yeah. There's probably no one at 1%.

Jack: There's nobody 1%.

Cristina: There's no way. There's too many artists.

Jack: That means out of all the artists in the world, you make up 1% of all the listens out of everything.

Cristina: No, that's crazy. No.

Jack: If you took every musician in the world that's on. I guess every musician that exists on Spotify, you broke them up into 99 groups that were evenly distributed. There'd be 7,000 people in that group. 7,000 people in that group. You know.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And then there's just you alone as the 1% versus 7,000 times 99.

Cristina: That's crazy.

Jack: H*** no. There's no f****** way.

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

Jack: He's like 00, 0, 001 and still s******* on everybody else.

Cristina: Yes, but how is cable surviving? So cable.

Jack: I'm thinking the same s***.

Cristina: And radio are dying, though I have.

Jack: No idea how radio does it. I'm assuming the same thing too, but really, I don't know.

Cristina: And soon, what else should be dead next? I think our phones. Phone companies. Let's get rid of them.

Jack: Phone companies are going to die. And the problem with phone companies are it's also outdated. Apps make up for everything. And you could buy WI fi things so that you don't even need to pay for your phone.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Texting is a thing of the past.

Cristina: Our technology is not keeping up.

Jack: No, technology is not keeping up with how. Well, some technology. Here's the problem. The older technology is struggling. These are old people struggling.

Cristina: Things that we depended on.

Jack: Yes. People are struggling to let go.

Cristina: Yeah. Let go, man. Get the next new thing.

Jack: Kind of sort of. Yeah.

Cristina: The nano chip or whatever it's called.

Jack: No, that's exaggerated. But like the apps.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's worth Zoom and Skype and WhatsApp and Gmail, Google chats and all these things. All of them defeat you needing to pay for text messaging.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And if you can have something that carries wi Fi around. Then you've also defeated phone calls. You need needing data. No, because you can call through these apps.

Cristina: Okay, yeah, you can call and you.

Jack: Can text through these apps. You don't need to pay s*** on your phone company. Phone company should just get over it and just sell you Internet packages.

Cristina: Mm. That's it.

Jack: Just sell. Really convenient, beautifully priced, not crazy expensive Internet packages.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That's it. Five dollars. You get three gigabytes of f******, like, great. Okay, that makes sense.

Cristina: Five dollars.

Jack: Everybody's doing everything on their phone. Not for a smartphone, for the service.

Cristina: Oh, yes. Yeah.

Jack: For the service that you'd put on a smartphone. And then, like, all you really need is the data. Or just say unlimited data. F*** it. Unlimited data. Do whatever.

Cristina: Yeah, unlimited data for five bucks. That sounds good.

Jack: You could be $10. It could be the price of, like, Netflix or some s***.

Cristina: $12.

Jack: That's the average, right? $12.

Cristina: The price is always hiring.

Jack: Not of Netflix specifically. Of all the services. If you were to put them, summarize together, like if you grab the average of all them, but some of them all. Yeah, it'd be like 12 bucks.

Cristina: Yeah. Mm.

Jack: So this Internet, unlimited Internet. 25. $12.

Cristina: $12, yeah.

Jack: Good. Now it's whose Internet is better? That becomes the argument. Now competition matters.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Our service is clear. You get signal most places. Boom. That's better. Now it matters.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Does your signal drop when you're in subway stations? Who has towers in subway stations? Now it matters. Now your $12 is better spent. How many places you gonna put those? $12. Everybody's gonna flock to whoever's best. Better be sweet with competition.

Cristina: That's great.

Jack: Yeah. We got to put it in train stations. It needs to be in planes. It needs to be here. It needs to be over there. In the middle of a cornfield, in the middle of nowhere. In the deserts, we need your phone.

Cristina: To work everywhere in the middle of cornfield.

Jack: Everywhere. Okay, everywhere. Whoever has the most coverage.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Then again, companies could vary. Like, I don't want to put anything in the middle of cornfield. But then there's a company made by people who live in farmland.

Cristina: Yeah, but like, if you don't live in farmland, you don't need that cornfield.

Jack: Yeah, like, if you're never going to visit that s***, you don't need that thing. And maybe you could get add ons. Like, okay, city areas. Anywhere that's local towers. But for the further towers, you got pay a little extra. So anytime you're in a city, doesn't matter where in the world. You're in a city. Fine.

Cristina: Yes. But maybe better than ever or something.

Jack: Yeah. But let's say China, for example. Everything is f****** banned over there. It takes a little more work to put a tower in China.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So then we need you to pay extra to use the tower. That took us more money to put over there. Fair. But if you like going to Korea, like, that s***'s easy. They'll be like, whatever, put a tower over here, we need it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: They're probably the ones making the tower.

Cristina: Korea.

Jack: So, like, depending on circumstances, like, okay, we have towers in the desert, but took a lot of work. If you want to use those towers, you know, give us more money.

Cristina: Mm, that sounds good.

Jack: And people who live in the desert only pay for the desert towers. But if you want to go to the city, you know, you gotta pay.

Cristina: What?

Jack: I would like figuring out a way to do that.

Cristina: Well, if you don't travel, then it's no problem. You just pay that one price and that's fine.

Jack: Yeah, but that's interesting, actually, when you think about it, Right. Because we were over here talking about art, and then we're talking about, like, cell towers. Right. Technology is failing to adapt or whatever, but, like, that's an artist doing that.

Cristina: Doing what?

Jack: A person who designed the cell tower with practicality because it had to make sense. So the scientist decides, okay, this is what it got to look like. But then there's an architect, a designer.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: This has to go into society.

Cristina: He's the artist.

Jack: And both artists is a collaborative effort.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: They're just working with different kinds of art. Yeah, my art involves numbers. And I'm gonna make something beautiful, something complicated, something that didn't exist before. I'm gonna bring it into existence the same way, except we just call that math and science. But you sat down, you thought about something didn't exist. You brought it into reality. Put some notes down, and here's what my art looks like. Very abstract, numerical. And you're like, oh, wow. Complicated. Interesting. I like how you figured out this detail and that detail. But if this was a painting, you'd be like, oh, it's interesting how you made this part and that part over there. And it's a different kind of art, but it's so art. Everything is art.

Cristina: Yeah. So the science is art, the science is art.

Jack: And then. Well, think about it. The arts includes everything. Why is a Renaissance person including science?

Cristina: The Renaissance person.

Jack: Yeah. Renaissance people know how to play the instruments, and they can paint, they can draw, and they can sketch. But every single one of them was also an inventor. They were those gears turned the same.

Cristina: Okay, right.

Jack: The contraptions they made, the innovations that moved society forward at the speed of light.

Cristina: They had some science in them. Yeah.

Jack: It's not just art.

Cristina: Or. Or.

Jack: It is art.

Cristina: It is art.

Jack: It's literally just art. But everything is.

Cristina: Art is art.

Jack: Everything is art.

Cristina: Everything is art. Yeah.

Jack: My art is thoughts.

Cristina: Your specific art?

Jack: Yes. I love to work with a thought and make something complicated and show it to somebody and then be like, wow, that's a beautiful arts and philosophy. Thoughts, Words. There you go.

Cristina: Words or philosophy?

Jack: Both.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Philosophy in words.

Cristina: Yes. Is your art.

Jack: Yes. I like to turn thought into words. Alan Watts is my f****** hero. He turns thoughts into words, but he's a poet above all things. Like, he's an artist and he shows you some beautiful. And you're like, wow, this is an amazing mental image.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I put my art into your head, then you see it inside of you.

Cristina: His art is complicated.

Jack: His art is complicated.

Cristina: He is an artist for sure.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He paints you a beautiful picture inside of your head using nothing but words.

Cristina: Yes. And some scientists could do that too.

Jack: Some scientists could do that too. That was all of Einstein's entire goal. It was to convey it in such a way that you can get it. Michio Kaku is a great communicator as well.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He developed the art of communication. Keyword. The art of communication. That's why we say that about a lot of things.

Cristina: Art of communication. Yeah.

Jack: The art of firing a gun.

Cristina: Huh?

Jack: Ever. You could attach that word to literally anything. The art of.

Cristina: The art of cooking.

Jack: The art.

Cristina: Cooking. Yeah.

Jack: Because everything, even shooting a gun. Well, look, the way he holds a gun in a particular way, his arm consumes some of the recoil, sending a shutter that keeps stability. It's beautiful how he does that and how he came up with this technique when usually I have a slightly left tilt and my hand consumes less of that. And there's art there. There's something to break apart. There's something to admire. The art of golf.

Cristina: Wait, can sports be seen as art? Yes.

Jack: All of it.

Cristina: All of it. Everything. Okay.

Jack: The Art of Charm, a beautiful podcast that teaches people how to be more socially active. But the word, the phrases, they've come up with. The art of charm. Just talking is an art.

Cristina: Yes. Oh, I gotta listen to that. That's pretty good.

Jack: Well, now it's.

Cristina: Oh, they changed.

Jack: Yeah. Art of charm is still existing, but now. Jordan Harbinger, show is where we go. Because Jordan Harbinger was the life of the art of charm, and he went and started his own show. So by the way, for anybody listening to this, if you are into podcasts about self improvement and just thinking outside the box and general information that helps you in life and success and business and relationships, the Jordan Harbinger show.

Cristina: He'll help.

Jack: Yeah, he is a great guy. His content is amazing. He is very intelligent, very charismatic, Very great lesson. So go check that out.

Cristina: I thought he was the art of the charm. He left it and it's got replaced with someone else. Or someone else was with him that whole time. I don't know.

Jack: Somebody else was with him, but there's another guy there too. Yeah. So I don't know.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: There were three of them to start with.

Cristina: Whoa. Okay.

Jack: But yeah, you can go follow that. But anyways, point being that communication in itself is an art. How you approach somebody. Flirting is an art.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The. And it's a difficult art. Like, arts are difficult, but some are more difficult than others. And like flirting. People don't get that.

Cristina: No, no, they don't. But communication is so difficult in itself.

Jack: Communication is one of the hardest arts.

Cristina: Yeah. I think you gotta at least be in some good level with that before you get to the flirting stage.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. But it's so many different branches in something. And the art of communication. Right. Because flirting is one of them. But conveying like philosophic ideas or conveying science without notations, that's hard for scientists. They don't know how to communicate. They understand the numbers in their head. But a lot of scientists don't have the art of communication.

Cristina: No. What? No, but man, everything is art.

Jack: Everything is art. And the idea remains the same. Art should make you feel something.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And there are many feelings that we take for granted. But understanding is a feeling.

Cristina: So then how can there be something that you don't feel anything for?

Jack: That's interesting. Right? There should be. Because neutral. Is neutrality. A feeling would be the question.

Cristina: Huh?

Jack: Do you feel neutral or are you neutral because you don't feel.

Cristina: That's complicated. Because everything would have to make you feel something no matter what.

Jack: Right. Because everything is art in.

Cristina: But like your phone. But you see all the time that it doesn't look like.

Jack: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I got an example. Right.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So somebody's talking to you about science and you're just not interested. You're not pushing it away. You're not listening to it, but it's not registering Communication is still art and science is still art. But why aren't you connecting to it? That's neutrality. You felt nothing, so you can feel.

Cristina: But would you not be bored?

Jack: No. Because you're not bored. Bored would be being repelled by it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: This sucks. You're feeling nothing. You're engaged, listening, and still not giving a f***.

Cristina: That's still something. There has to be something still there. I don't know. Because you're still engaged, so you at least find something entertaining, whether it's.

Jack: No. You could just be there listening and that's it.

Cristina: And feel nothing about it. I don't know.

Jack: I don't think you need to feel something about everything.

Cristina: You don't? I don't know. That's tough. That's tough.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: Because I feel like I feel something for everything.

Jack: But then you're using subjectivity rather than objectivity. There are people who literally feel nothing.

Cristina: Mmm.

Jack: I guess that wouldn't be possible.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: If everything made you feel something, you wouldn't possibly have people who feel nothing. That would be impossible. Because everything would make you feel something. Even, like, the concept of lack of emotion would be impossible if just one.

Cristina: Person felt a bunch of things.

Jack: No, no, no, no, no. If everything was gonna make you feel something no matter what.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Then you should never have a person who feels nothing. That would be impossible. But the fact that there could be people who feel nothing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Means that there are things to feel nothing about.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because even if. Well, I have zero motion. But art is gonna trigger motion no matter what. You have an unstoppable force and an unmoving object. Okay, that makes no sense.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We know for a fact there are people who feel nothing.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So then the question is. We're debating one thing.

Cristina: So there's gotta be art that makes you feel nothing.

Jack: Yeah. If the unmoving object is the person who feels nothing, then art is not the unstoppable force. One of them has to cave.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And one of them is factual. The other one we're debating.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Okay, so not all art can make you feel anything. Boom. Solid argument.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Interesting. No.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: But yeah. So the goal of art is ultimately to make you feel something.

Cristina: Are we art right now? Is this art?

Jack: This is podcasting as art. Again, we're talking. And I said, ideas and words are my art.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I talk, I communicate, I paint a picture.

Cristina: But we're sending art into people's ears.

Jack: Yeah. Podcasting is an art form. Some suck, some are great.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: It really depends. People who listen to us, like absurdism. They like that we put a weird performance of sorts that is really detached and kind of gets crazy from occasion to occasion.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But has logic and reason fueling it. Kind of like Rick and Morty to some degree. Like it's absurd and stupid.

Cristina: Yes. Like our Godzilla poop story.

Jack: Yeah. But it has underlying logic because all you're doing is using critical thinking and taking it to the next extreme with things that are totally irrational. You're just thinking rationally about irrational things.

Cristina: Okay. Yes.

Jack: That's all that's happening. But it is an art form. Not everybody can do it, and they would like to do it. And they hear us do it, and they're like, how interesting that he went there with the thing.

Cristina: Yes, it is interesting.

Jack: That is art.

Cristina: That is art. Okay. If you feel neutral about our art, let us know. Yeah.

Jack: I do believe my favorite style of art is music because it's really profound. And obviously, I think everybody's favorite style of art is music.

Cristina: You think everyone's favorite.

Jack: Everybody. There's nobody who like people who are actively making art or listening to music while doing it.

Cristina: That's true. Unless they don't listen to. I don't know who doesn't listen to music.

Jack: I'm sure there's somebody.

Cristina: Yes, there's somebody. But it's not. There's not many.

Jack: No, there's not many people. The vast majority of people listen to music. The vast majority.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And, like, not everybody's out there looking at paintings. Not everybody's out there looking at graffiti or tattoos. Not everybody's out there. But I would say that visual mediums tend to be like. TV is a huge one.

Cristina: It is a huge one. Movies, for some reason.

Jack: Yeah, Movies, video games.

Cristina: Yeah. But when it comes to music, I.

Jack: Feel like more people are into music than they are into tv.

Cristina: But the things that they like about the music is different, like, from one person to another. What stands out to them?

Jack: Why wouldn't that apply to tv?

Cristina: Yes. I guess. I mean, like. Like, you can hear one song and it would be different.

Jack: Right. And you can watch one show and get different things.

Cristina: Get different things.

Jack: 100%. Let's take breaking Bad, for example. We watch it and we see a complicated story about a man who went from being a teacher to being a drug addict or drug dealer. My bad. The drug dealer. And somebody else sits down and they see complex camera work. Somebody else sits down and they just see, regardless of the acting, the writing behind this is amazing. Somebody else comes down, sits, and it's like, wow. The expressions these characters give. Like, this guy is acting as pretty solid. They're not even paying attention to what the f*** is being said. They're like, wow, the way he conveyed that is amazing. It's just different ways to look at the same thing.

Cristina: Okay. Those are some weird ways. But they have to be paying attention to the story, though.

Jack: I'm sure in every instance, everybody's paying attention to the story. But also, you notice and aren't aware. You notice when an amazing camera effect happens. You're like, wow, that was crazy looking.

Cristina: Mmm.

Jack: So you're also looking at the things they're looking at.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because people are focusing on different points.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Some people like the adrenaline of Breaking Bad. Some people like the story of Breaking Bad.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Some people are there, like, boring episode, Boring episode, Boring episode. Every season finale. Wow. Crazy. Because the crazy cliffhangers and the s***.

Cristina: That happens happens with Walking Dead to.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: People like the drama. Some people get the. The drama is the boring part.

Jack: Exactly, Exactly. Some people are there for the action. Some people there for the story. Some people there for the camera work. Some people are there for the writing. Some people were there to see amazing scenery as well. The detail they put into that scene. That's crazy looking.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: It's. Art is for everybody and different for everybody. Simultaneous.

Cristina: It's different for everyone. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jack: So I think definitely music is my favorite. And. I don't know, depends on the musician too, what I'm looking for in a song, because, like, I understand. I. I'm really good at compartmentalizing things, so I don't need everybody to do everything. Like, I know an Eminem track has toss away beats.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But so does the Lil Wayne track, because one dude's just being a poet and the other one's all being a different kind of poet, I guess. But like wordplay. One is being technical with his writing, the other one's being very vivid with his writing. Both original, completely different ways. Double triple entendres with Eminem and complicated metaphors with Lil Wayne.

Cristina: And then what's Andre doing?

Jack: He's flowing over a song. So you need the beat for Andre because that's mad flow. But also, if you took the beat away from Andre, it would sound like there's a beat because of how he flows.

Cristina: So he doesn't really need a beat.

Jack: He doesn't really need a beat. He is the. The beat. His whole s*** is flow. There's nobody with more flow than Andre.

Cristina: Yeah, but when it comes to other styles of music, you wouldn't be looking for these type of things.

Jack: Well, it depends on the musician. For Jack White, not only does he have really intricate, amazing, well thought out beats that he's usually the one making, but his word plays up there. He has tricks with his vocal. Liz. Asian. Like, not just. I mean, no vocalization, because the singing is amazing too. But he's writing. What he's saying is so clever.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Same way with, like, Arctic Monkeys.

Cristina: That's way more clever. Yeah.

Jack: Alex Turner is being a poet the way Lil Wayne is just metaphor after metaphor after metaphor after metaphor. Unique ones, too. That phone by the Arctic Monkeys on the Tranquility Hotel and Casino album.

Cristina: Oh, Hotel. And that album is like, what?

Jack: Yeah, the album is freaking amazing.

Cristina: That's complicated in its own.

Jack: But then you look at somebody like Kendrick and all of the above is in there. Everything, Everything. Everybody's everything. The best of the best of the best of everything is in his work.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now, he himself isn't like, the best at wordplay. Eminem is.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And he himself isn't the best of metaphors. Lil Wayne is. He himself doesn't have the best flow. Andre does. But he has all his thoughts at 9 if everybody else has him at 10.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And if Eminem has 10 on wordplay, his metaphors are, like, out of 7. But Kendrick still has his metaphors at 9. And if Lil Wayne has metaphors at 10 and his wordplay at 7, well, Andre still has his wordplay at 9. And so if Andre. Did I say Andre Trice. Kendrick. Well, whatever. Kendrick. In all of these instances, I was saying Kendrick. I don't know if I was saying Kendrick. But anyways, if Andre has his flow at 10 and his wordplay and his metaphor is at 7, well, Kendrick still has his flow.

Cristina: All of it at nine.

Jack: All of it at nine. He's like, collectively better.

Cristina: He's not your favorite.

Jack: No, my favorite B. Eminem wordplay is so genius because Kendrick as an artist is better. He. The amount of producers on one track to make it sync up with him. Like, you couldn't separate Kendrick from the beat because it would fall apart.

Cristina: So you think once he leaves the people he's working with, though, he could.

Jack: Just hire other people.

Cristina: Mmm. Yeah.

Jack: They probably constantly rotating. Yeah, I doubt that the same 12 producers are always the same 12 producers. Like, it's probably just different producers doing different tricks.

Cristina: Crazy amount of tricks. I mean, it's because there's a crazy amount of producers.

Jack: So, yeah, everybody's got a thing they do, and they all throw their little special Sauce into a Kendrick track.

Cristina: Yes. He's amazing.

Jack: Yeah, his old tracks are great. Everything is amazing in his work.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But like, that's really high quality art. And we look at somebody like Alex Gray painting visionary paintings.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: Amazing.

Cristina: Complicated, complicated.

Jack: What do people get out of that? People look at that in different ways. Some people feel a spiritual connection to something greater looking at his art, because they see a visual of what they were trying to reason in their heads to begin with. He paints a human body and he paints the energy you feel when you do something like DMT or LSD going through your veins and that sort of cold, hot feeling that you get on the surface of your skin and all those little tiny little details that he's.

Cristina: Able to paint that.

Jack: Yeah, and he paints that vividly. And then you see and you're like, oh, wow. He. He caught it. He caught the thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The thing I couldn't put into words in a million years. He got it different to what Alan Watts does. He's conveying a philosophic idea while Alex Gray painted a sensation you had that is crazy.

Cristina: A sensation you had. Yeah. What?

Jack: You trip and you see Earth as part of the universe and you as part of the Earth and a tree as part of you. And there's a little painting that's all of the above. It's a tree that grows into a person that's part of Earth and is the universe or something like that. Yeah, it's like just stuff he does. He brings out that thing you saw and didn't make sense in your head.

Cristina: Because he saw it. Dude.

Jack: Swapped right up to the gate.

Cristina: There's no way.

Jack: I'm telling you, Alan Watts, Alex Gray, and Albert Einstein all walked up to the gate.

Cristina: You think Albert Einstein?

Jack: No, definitely not. Okay, I know Alan Watts probably did.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He saw some s*** he should not have seen and came back with it. And I don't know how, and so did Alex. I don't want the h*** Alex saw. But what he saw was crazy because he paints him crazy. Some of his paintings are really dark.

Cristina: They are.

Jack: Yeah. He has a lot of really, really dark art.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Not all of it, but some of them. All crazy dark.

Cristina: Like Silent Hill dark.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah. Cuz it's the good and the bad of tripping.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: So if you've ever thought you were the devil or saw the devil, or your f****** body's melting or something that's there.

Cristina: My body's melting. That is a horrible, horrifying experience. What? Yeah.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: Alex Grey's Crazy like that. Art in general is very amazing. Like that.

Cristina: The guy. What is my calendar? What's his name? Salvador Dali.

Jack: Salvador Dali's amazing.

Cristina: His pictures are melting. I don't know what his paintings. They look like people melting sometimes.

Jack: His paintings are. Because he's surrealist artist. Right. So it's just a bunch of weird things. You're like, well, it's kind of like this, but it's not. And it's like, not really that either. And it's like, it'll be a woman who's building.

Cristina: I don't tell what it is, but it looks disturbing in some way.

Jack: No, not necessarily tell what it is because, I mean, I guess, sort of. But it doesn't necessarily have to be disturbing. Like, there's a woman who's a building.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But she doesn't look like a building. But she does look like a building.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's like she's just a woman. She looks just like a woman. But also she looks just like a building. But she doesn't look like a woman who looks like a building or like a building who looks like a woman. It just depends on which perspective you're looking at at any given moment. That it's just a building or it's just a woman.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That skill.

Cristina: That is. That's so crazy. I don't know how he did that.

Jack: I don't know how he does any of his stuff.

Cristina: Was he also doing. What did you say?

Jack: Oh, man, he. If he did drugs, he did something that was very, very different. Because what you see with Alex Gray is, like, acid type of s*** is like, dmt, like mushrooms, that kind of stuff. Psychedelics. If Salvador Dali took drugs to get where he got.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He was doing some f***** drugs.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Because it's a weird breakdown of things. It would have been like. It could have been heroin. It could have been heroin. It could have been.

Cristina: There's always, like, ants everywhere.

Jack: They could totally have been heroin. Could have been meth.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

Jack: It could have been any of those f*** drugs.

Cristina: What? That's so. I mean, who knows?

Jack: Could have been alcohol.

Cristina: It could have been alcohol.

Jack: F***. Ton of alcohol. Where s*** becomes unstable and kind of looks sort of like everything else.

Cristina: Yeah. Mmm. That's an interesting one. If it was alcohol.

Jack: Yeah. There's a couple of factors that could have led to his stuff being the way it is.

Cristina: Yeah. Or he's just super normal. I don't know. But his things. I don't know. It's just. It looks so strange to see something and it could be two different things. Yeah, it's like Eminem rapping in his three different things.

Jack: Yeah, well, he's mad skilled, I guess. Yeah. The interesting, interesting. I like that comparison. The Salvador Dali's art is like an Eminem song.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: It's several things layered on top of each other, and you're gonna see one of them and miss the other until you realize the other is even there.

Cristina: Like there was. I think it was elephants, but they were actually geese. Depending on how you were looking at it. Yeah.

Jack: If you flip the painting upside down.

Cristina: Yeah. What?

Jack: That's genius.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's skill. I don't know how the h***. I have no idea how he worked these things in his head. Salvador Dali. You guys need to go look at some art from Salvador Dali. Google it. Look at some images. Google Alex Gray. Look at some images. Listen to songs by Kendrick Lamar, by Eminem, by Lil Wayne, by Andre 3000. Go look at some architecture. Go look at some science notations. Read general relativity. So you can.

Cristina: You want everyone to become Renaissance men.

Jack: Yeah. Read general relativity. Listen to Alan Watts lectures.

Cristina: Paint, paint.

Jack: Do a little of everything.

Cristina: Yeah. Do everything.

Jack: Yeah. Anyways, I guess that's what art is. And now you guys know. We've taught you guys what art is because you didn't know. You didn't know before. Now we've told you what art is. You thought art was a painting and nothing else. Well, no, you're walking on art. You're breathing art.

Cristina: You gotta now make some art.

Jack: Cuz even nature made art.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because anything you make is art.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The question is, can art be made by accident? Yeah, it could. It could. Definitely. We had that at the beginning.

Cristina: Yes. Yeah.

Jack: It happened by accident. Art does not have to be intentional.

Cristina: Does that mean that we were. By accident?

Jack: Yes, everything. Everything. Anyways, if you guys want to hear more things of this nature. I'm not sure if we break down art, but we do talk about different kinds of art, like music.

Cristina: And we talk to artists.

Jack: We talk to artists. We literally talk to artists. Yes. We got Renee Schuller on the show. Musicians.

Cristina: Musicians. Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Jack: Directors, whatever. Just look at the show. Go through our catalog of See things, and you can find all those things on the official website, greatthoughts.info or on Apple podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere you get your podcasts.

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

Jack: Yes. And remember to subscribe, rate and review the show.

Cristina: And let someone who might like this show know about it?

Jack: Yeah, word of mouth. Extremely overpowered. People get blown away when you talk to them about the show, and you're like, hey, there's a show and you might like the show, so go listen to the show.

Cristina: And then seven days later, you die from cancer. Yeah, I don't have.

Jack: I don't know how long. I mean, you know, like 10 years later. It doesn't matter. Something like that. You'd live long enough to regret listening, at least. And also, you can find me on the stereo app having conversations with people, random strangers. All the time.

Cristina: All the time.

Jack: All the time. I'm just talking to strangers. Jumping on. You should check it out. Just to listen to other people talk. There's podcasts that happen exclusively on that app.

Cristina: When they follow you, though, do old conversations show up on that app?

Jack: Yes, they're all saved.

Cristina: Oh, that's so awesome. Okay, go listen to that.

Jack: Yes, you can hear all the old conversations. It's a whole other thing of content.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: Yes, you can go listen to all the old conversations I've had of which are very trolly. And you can. You'll get notified. Make sure to turn those notifications on or whatever YouTubers say.

Cristina: Whatever the.

Jack: And you'll know when I jump on, I'm talking to somebody. So. Yeah.

Cristina: Yes. Go follow him. And this has been the Just Conversation podcast. Take nothing personal, and thanks for listening. Bye.

Jack: So the lesson is that Dougie ing is a dance.

Cristina: It's just a dance.

Jack: But the Dougie. Because I heard somebody say, she showed me the Dougie. Actually, I think it was Eminem. She showed me the Dougie. Or some rapper. She showed me the Dougie.

Cristina: Maybe he really meant the dance.

Jack: I think the Dougie met her cooch. Her cooter.

Cristina: Her Cooter. Why would she name it that?

Jack: I don't think she named her Cooter. The Dougie. I think the Dougie is slang for cooter. I don't know how cooterlicious.

Cristina: No.

Jack: What do you mean, no?

Cristina: I don't think so. None of that makes sense.

Jack: The Dougie. She showed me the Dougie.

Cristina: She did not show him the Dougie.

Jack: Google it. She showed me the Dougie.

Cristina: No. Okay, I will, though.

Jack: Google. She showed me the Dougie. Showed you said she should.

Cristina: She should. She should.

Jack: She showed me the.

Cristina: Is that how you spelled it?

Jack: Yeah. Eminem Book of rhymes.

Cristina: Oh, okay. She showed me the doggy. Can I get a witness? I don't know. She danced in front of him. That's all I can think of. I don't think she showed him her v*****.

Jack: I talked to your mother. She told me she loved me. All she want to do is just hold me and hug me. Wants nobody but me. She showed me the Dougie. Can I get a witness, like notary public? Preach. She said, kick some fly s***. Fly s***. I said, I got wings on my a**. Told her my d***'s a cockpit.

Cristina: So she showed him a dance. That's all I got from that.

Jack: Nah, I think. I think they f*****. I think he f*****.

Cristina: Yeah, after.

Jack: No, I think he f***** your mom is what he's saying.

Cristina: Yeah, after she danced for him, he was like, okay. Like, she did a sexy dance.

Jack: All she want to do is hold me and hug me once. Nobody but me. She showed me the Dougie. I can get a wit. Can I get a witness, like notary public? Sure. I think. I think Dougie means cooter. She showed me the Dougie. Show me her v*****. Her v*****. And then we done.

Cristina: Nah, she danced for him and then they.

Jack: You guys heard it here. The hot take. Dougie means cooter, and Cooter means v*****.

Cristina: That's not a hot take.

Jack: That's a hot take.

Cristina: That's not a hot take.

Jack: What does hot take mean?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Boom. That's hot take.

Cristina: It's not hot.

Jack: That's steaming. That's on fire. On fire. It's a hot.

Cristina: It's a dance. She danced for him and he was so impressed. They had sex?

Jack: No, she showed him her cooter and he showed her his cockpit. And they did the Do. They do. Dude.

Cristina: Good morning. The Just Conversation podcast is hosted by Christina Colazzo 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.

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

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

Jack: Yes. So be sure to ask somebody nicely to listen to the show, please.

Christina: Really?

Jack: Yeah.

Jack: Totally.

Christina: For this episode.

Jack: For this episode.

Christina: What if they already did everything you told them to do in the last episode and now they're like, what?

Jack: Well, they.

Christina: How was that work?

Jack: No, they already got the work done. If they already listened and did it once and they got somebody to listen to the show.

Christina: But they assume like this episode would start the same though, and they would have prepared the same way.

Jack: Do you think they're just going out and doing this every episode?

Christina: Yes. After you said you gotta do it or else your memories erase. Actually, your memories always erase.

Jack: That's the craziest part.

Christina: I'm not really sure what their punishment was. Or. You kill their child.

Jack: Yeah. Their children are in danger and they gotta pay tax.

Christina: Yeah. In this episode, they did it for nothing.

Jack: No, this is a new, fresh year. What are you talking about?

Christina: Oh, okay.

Jack: This is different. We changed individuals. The only instance something bad would happen is if they don't ask somebody nicely, in which case their children are still in danger. And even if they're listening, it's outside of our power, they're gonna lose their memory. So all of that is sort of out of our control and they're still gonna get taxed.

Christina: Where does the memory loss. Where does that come from?

Jack: There's subliminal messaging in every episode.

Christina: Oh, okay, so the episodes. Doing it to them.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. We have our engineers encoded into the background.

Christina: Why do we do that?

Jack: To erase their memories.

Christina: Why?

Jack: Because we're like that.

Christina: We're like that. Okay?

Jack: That's who we are as people.

Christina: Yes. That's how we are.

Jack: Yeah.

Christina: Anyways, Happy New Year.

Jack: Happy New Year.

Christina: It's not too late to say that. Like, how long after New Year is it? Like, stop saying Happy New Year.

Jack: I don't know.

Christina: Is it like the first time you see a person through the year? That time is the time you say it and then after that, no more.

Jack: It's a new year. Yeah, I guess.

Christina: But you just say it once and that's it.

Jack: Yeah, I don't.

Christina: You don't have to greet each other until the end of January or something.

Jack: Look, you say Happy new year until December 31st, and then there's a new year.

Christina: No, that's too much. At a point, you gotta stop. I think just say one time.

Jack: Says who? Who? Where's.

Christina: You just say one time.

Jack: Where's it written down? Point, point at the rule.

Christina: Right there. Right where I'm pointing.

Jack: That's not the rule.

Christina: Yes, it is.

Jack: I can see what you're saying. It's not that.

Christina: It's that.

Jack: That's a bottle.

Christina: It's the rule. You can't prove it's a bottle.

Jack: You can't prove it's the rule. Based on that same logic.

Christina: Well, the listeners will have to just believe me.

Jack: Fair enough.

Christina: I'm pointing out the rules anyways.

Jack: So, yeah, the. It's 2021. We're in the future. We have flying cars, flying skateboards. Our sneakers fly. So I don't know. I would need any of those other two options. There's tubes that teleport us immediately where we need to be.

Christina: Who uses those tubes?

Jack: We've been living on Mars for the past. How many days has it been since New Year's? For like three days. We got colonies set up.

Christina: We have for the tubes. I don't get it.

Jack: I don't get it.

Christina: And also, if you're going through the tubes, when you go to the end, are you upside down?

Jack: That's an interesting question. Right?

Christina: Yeah. How does that work?

Jack: I mean, I guess it would have to be like a tube that then loops up and then drops you down.

Christina: Oh, okay. Just. I never got that. But okay.

Jack: I don't understand either, because they get sucked in straight up. But Then they land straight up, which is like somewhere something sketchy happened.

Christina: Yes. I don't know. They were murdered. That's a clone.

Jack: Could be. So 2020.

Christina: Yes.

Jack: We're on the moon. We're on Mars. We have a Dyson sphere around the sun.

Christina: Wait, you're talking about 2020.

Jack: 2021.

Christina: Oh, 2021. Okay.

Jack: 2010 just happened and we proved there's no God. What other achievements have happened this year? Things that have totally opposite from 2020, where the first f****** four days we dropped a bomb on somebody. But outside the point.

Christina: That was in December. In January.

Jack: January, man. That was January 4th or 3rd.

Christina: What?

Jack: Something like that.

Christina: Oh, I forgot about that.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. Trump was like, I ain't starting this year on no easy route. He was the. The foreshadowing about the year ago. And so totally counter to that. We've cured cancer, all of them. Cured diabetes, we cured obesity.

Christina: All of this happened in the first.

Jack: Week, a couple of days. Days or some s***. Yeah. So all of this has happened since then. We've found the cure to death. We no longer die.

Christina: No longer die.

Jack: The breakthrough for telepathy happened yesterday. I believe so. Yeah. The year's going really good. Way better. Yes, way better.

Christina: What was your favorite part of last year, though? It was a really great year. I don't know what you're talking about.

Jack: It wasn't a bad year. I didn't say it was a bad year.

Christina: Oh, okay.

Jack: I said it's just opposite. Last year it was more about tearing things down. This year is about building things up.

Christina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Science last year was like flat earth and conspiracy theories. This year, science, nothing but science.

Christina: This year was about conspiracy theories. It was a very conspiracy theory heavy year.

Jack: It was. It was. Anyways, I figured we could catch up on all the things that happened since January.

Christina: Oh, since January. January.

Jack: So that's what this episode is. This is a recap of the amazing. This is a 2020 recap.

Christina: If you forgot anything that happened last year or you just. There's so much things that happened, you probably don't know every single thing that happened.

Jack: Look, she might be trying to be nice about it, but in reality, if you're blackout drunk or a guy who was just strung out straight through 2020, because, f***, this year we're gonna tell you all the things you missed because you were in some sort of black cloud of nothingness.

Christina: Yes. We're here to help you out.

Jack: Yeah. Exactly how it's gonna happen. So. So let us begin by going way to the beginning. First There was nothing.

Christina: No, no. Well, what I remember. I would like to start before January, actually, because.

Jack: Before the first day.

Christina: Yes, before the first day. Because in December, something was happening in China and we didn't know what it was. And now we know, of course, but that started in December of 2019, which we were just like, there's something going on. What is it? Who knows? Mystery.

Jack: Yeah.

Christina: And then it became the.

Jack: Some people got sick here, some people got sick over there. Oh, people getting really sick. It's spreading like wildfire.

Christina: It spread. And then in January, I guess now we can go to January.

Jack: Yes, in January, global cases of this mysterious virus have gone up to 9,000, 906.

Christina: And it was all in China. No, I don't know.

Jack: Maybe. I don't know. It was probably some here and there, but it was predominantly in China. So, yeah, 9,906 cases. So let's start. So we've got viruses somewhere out in the world, but elsewhere in the world, away from the viruses. Australia is on fire.

Christina: Yes. It's having its worst fire ever. Ever, ever.

Jack: The continent's on fire.

Christina: The continent? Yes. It's so crazy that New Zealand could see the smoke from the fire.

Jack: Yeah. The amount of area taken up is about the size of South Korea. No bullshit.

Christina: Of the fires.

Jack: The fire.

Christina: Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

Jack: The amount of fire covers an area the size of South Korea.

Christina: Whoa. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. That's huge. That is huge. Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. Roughly 25 million acres burned.

Christina: No, it's not.

Jack: 25 million acres on fire. And at least 33 people died. Exciting way to start this f****** year. Yeah, fantastic. Including at least three firefighters were dead there, too.

Christina: Yes. And the smoke of the fire was a problem. Besides the actual fire, the smoke, it was just really bad. The pollution of the air. Pollution.

Jack: Yeah. It's f***** up the planet to great new heights, not just locally, but like the planet.

Christina: The planet.

Jack: The planet. Yeah. Maybe around 3,000 homes have been lost. And the smoke was definitely like the big centerpiece there because it got seen everywhere and it's still lingering up there.

Christina: Still lingering.

Jack: Yeah. That s*** is in the sky. Then it got contagious later because of this. Australia recorded the worst pollution it's ever.

Christina: Seen, 23 times higher than what's considered hazardous. So it was really dangerous. It's still really dangerous. Are they still there? They're not there anymore. Right. We got a new Australia. Yes. We destroyed that land and built a new land over it.

Jack: No, they were still areas to live in. Like, the whole place isn't Gone.

Christina: Yeah.

Jack: Australia outsizes South Korea, which is why it's weird that it's an island. It's a continent island.

Christina: It's a continent island.

Jack: It's a continent country island.

Christina: Yes.

Jack: Yeah. Australia is a unique place with unique.

Christina: Animals that we gotta save. We gotta go over there and save the animals. There's so many unique animals in Australia.

Jack: There's too many unique animals on the planet in general.

Christina: Australia. They only come from Australia. Once they're gone, they're gone.

Jack: So.

Christina: But they're so unique.

Jack: So.

Christina: Knuckles. We'll lose Knuckles. You want him to die?

Jack: I don't care. Look, here's the thing. The universe is making choices. Who are we to stop it? To stop it.

Christina: What about that weird platypus thing?

Jack: F*** that platypus thing. There's like, a furry duck mammal thing.

Christina: It's a mammal that thinks it's a bird. Yes. But it's so awesome. I don't want to lose those animals.

Jack: Yeah. I don't. I don't know. It's like, there's too many animals. What? Val, who cares? We save these animals, but then we ignore those. Or we have to kill those to save the environment anyways. Like, what the. How are we trading this off? We decide we got to save the Australian animals because. Trees on fire. But then over here, we're like, we gotta set these trees on fire because it's gonna kill the animals.

Christina: We're setting the trees on fire?

Jack: Well, you set the trees on fire to prevent bigger fires from happening in the future by controlling where the fire can happen and thus saving the E ecosystem.

Christina: But we can't do that. We're bad at it. Is that what we have?

Jack: Point being, we save these animals, but then we destroy those trees. Okay, maybe the trees are just making choices.

Christina: Yes.

Jack: Or not even the trees. Just.

Christina: Nature is saying goodbye to Australia. Or at least a big chunk of it.

Jack: Yeah. It doesn't. The universe makes choices we're not allowed to question. Universal choices. Australia declares a state of disaster after the death of over 500 million animals.

Christina: That's so crazy.

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

Christina: That's crazy. Exactly. Exactly.

Jack: Yeah. It's pretty excessive. The amount of death, like, incalculable. And we're not even considering the amount of insects that lived in there.

Christina: Oh, my gosh. If we count the insects. Whoa. That's too much. That's a lot of death.

Jack: No, no, it's excessive. 25,000 koalas are dead. The koalas are dying.

Christina: The koala does. Yeah. 30% of their home is wiped out thanks to the fire. What are we gonna do with them? The ones that they can't go back home because their home is gone?

Jack: We're gonna eat them.

Christina: We keep them as pets.

Jack: Yeah.

Christina: No, I think that's a bad idea. Take them to the zoos. No.

Jack: Smoothing along in January, the lovely President of the United States had a drone strike on a foreign military leader. That was an exciting introduction to the year. Not only were we rolling over from this Australia fire of the previous year, but we're like, this year didn't start on fire enough. Let's get some fireworks going.

Christina: Yes.

Jack: And we drop the bomb that the f****** drone strike kills an Iranian general, Qasem Soleimani. That's when we drop the. So we dropped the drone on Soleimani, man.

Christina: Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. S*** got out of hand. There was definitely the potential for a war with the US both on their territories and on our territories, which is weird. Immediately at the beginning of the year, the potential for war just opened up.

Christina: And that reminds me, wasn't in December the Korean thing happening? Was that. Not this December? I don't remember. Oh, man. That Korea. We weren't sure if they were gonna bomb us because he made us some weird message about, like, you were gonna give you guys a gift or something. And we were thinking he was gonna, like, some horrible thing was going to happen.

Jack: Oh, yeah. Like a nuke or something.

Christina: Yeah. I'm not sure if that was this December, though. It was eight. December, for sure.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. It might have been this past. Not 2020, but like 2019. December.

Christina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Because I wasn't for this year.

Christina: It wasn't. Okay.

Jack: No, that was for last year, I believe.

Christina: All right, Sorry.

Jack: Whatever. F******.

Christina: That was another.

Jack: It was 29.

Christina: We're going to be in war.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That happened usually. Then around January 9th, the WHO announces this mysterious coronavirus pneumon in Wuhan, China.

Christina: The beginning.

Jack: So there were already signs of something weird happening. But now the who got involved. The band. The who is now involved. S*** is serious.

Christina: That's how we know.

Jack: That's how we know. Once the. Once the who stops making music and gets involved, are they still alive?

Christina: That's an old band, isn't it?

Jack: It's very old.

Christina: Okay. So they came back from the grave.

Jack: Now, in the time that this s*** happens and it gets announced, people start to f****** panic and we start so dumb. Oh, my God, we're idiots. Because as the panic begins, we start pulling out everybody who we have. All Americans, rather come back Home.

Christina: Yeah.

Jack: And it's like, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up.

Christina: Let them stay there for two weeks.

Jack: Yeah, abandon them. Let them stay there. You're pulling them out of a zone that has a plague running around. Yeah, maybe, Maybe, just maybe, just let them there. You just leave them there?

Christina: Yeah. Didn't we do that with the people on boats, on the cruise ships? We just, like. Okay, we thought about it mad late.

Jack: We thought about it mad late. That solution came mad late. Oh, when it's like, you brought the plague over, why didn't you just f****** cut it off?

Christina: I don't know. What was the point?

Jack: That's really how it spread. Yes, that's really how it spread. But here's what's funny. A bunch of people who did not get tested for having it or whatever were like, man, I must have had it back then. I heard that so many times. Like, people who thought they had it earlier than what happened or whatever.

Christina: Yeah. And you believe them?

Jack: No.

Christina: Okay.

Jack: I think it's possible, I guess, but what are the odds there weren't, like, a lot of people with it. You didn't just happen to have it, but it's these people who are, like, hypochondriacs, essentially.

Christina: Yeah.

Jack: F****** crazy, but. Yeah. I don't know why the f*** we were pulling people out. Just f****** close that b**** down and leave them in there.

Christina: Leave them there. Look, that would have been a great solution.

Jack: Sucks. But they're the guinea pigs at this point. You're gonna find out how bad it is.

Christina: Yes.

Jack: Are they gonna die?

Christina: Especially when a lot of countries don't even trust China and their news and stuff. Why not just keep your people there and just, you know, check on them and make sure that everything's.

Jack: Or. When they brought them up, why'd you bring them into the country and let them go? You should have, like, rented out a boat and put them on there. Yeah, right at the beginning. Keep them quarantined. You don't want them over there. We'll trap them over here, but. Trap them somewhere?

Christina: Yes.

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

Christina: Crazy.

Jack: So, yeah, that happens for the next couple of weeks.

Christina: Mm.

Jack: And then on the 21st, obviously, the CDC confirms the first US coronavirus cases. I mean, like, no s***. Yeah, maybe. Maybe you don't let people leave China when China's overrun by a deadly plague.

Christina: No one knew that it was so deadly. Or they did. I don't know. Whatever.

Jack: Weren't the hospitals over there right at the start?

Christina: Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: Then Also on the 21st, Chinese scientist confirms COVID 19 human transmission.

Christina: Now we know about the monkey virus. Or was it a bat virus? Bat virus?

Jack: Bat soup virus. That's where that conspiracy starts. Because people got to be sketchy and make s*** up. And it came from a restaurant where bat soup was happening. And I don't know where the f*** that rumor got started.

Christina: You.

Jack: I definitely started that rumor.

Christina: Yes. And what was that other rumor? It came from that Resident Evil place.

Jack: Umbrellas, which I also started. It came from the. I started both of those.

Christina: Umbrella Corporation.

Jack: Yes. Well, that one might be true. It's not called the Umbrella Corporation, but it gets started in some lab or something. Yeah, that's the weird part. Like, there's. They're thinking it leaped through animals, but it was. Something was being tested on that kind of caused it. And not like we're gonna. I mean, we don't know the motivations behind them. They could have been like, we're gonna f****** destroy the world. But, like, it's unlikely. But, like, I'm not saying it didn't happen. I just don't know that it did.

Christina: There's many possibilities.

Jack: Many possibilities. And two days later, Wuhan, now under quarantine. This is where Hong Kong closed its borders to the rest of China and s*** everywhere. Wasn't allowing travel. Wuhan was on total lockdown. Everybody was trapped in their houses. I remember they were spraying down their roads and cleaning them in hazmat suits or sidewalks or buildings, everything.

Christina: And people weren't allowed out. And they need a passport. Not. What's it called? Pass.

Jack: Yeah, they needed a pass to go outside.

Christina: Yeah, they needed passes to go outside. What?

Jack: F****** nuts.

Christina: Mm.

Jack: All that s*** was cray cray.

Christina: That was cray cray. Then in January 31st, WHO issues global health emergency. So it's not a pandemic yet.

Jack: No, no. That happens much later down the line, but with the worldwide death toll becomes.

Christina: A health emergency because it's spreading fast.

Jack: And also that's around the same time that Trump got impeached for making a perfect phone call.

Christina: Yes. That was his tweet. I got. Well, I just got impeached for making a perfect phone call. Trump has the best words.

Jack: He has the best words. Let's be real. He has an army of followers.

Christina: Yeah.

Jack: And not to say that the left or right, because they're also a bunch of morons, but the bull. The right is blind. Like, both sides are pretty heavily brainwashed, except the left requires an army of people working tactically together to brainwash them. Trump seems to do what they do. Single handedly to both sides, I guess. Yeah, sort of.

Christina: Yeah.

Jack: He portrays whatever image he wants and gets what he wants.

Christina: Yep.

Jack: So Trump effectively manipulates all the idiots on both sides.

Christina: And I'm sure that phone call was perfect. A perfect phone call. Only he could have a perfect phone call.

Jack: I swear that phone call was a tactical masterpiece in order to throw people off of something crazier he was doing.

Christina: Ooh, it was.

Jack: He's too slick. He's too slick. He is one of the smartest individuals to have just blessed this planet and he really is. The best part is he's not Obama, who needs to show off his intellect and prove to people I'm slicker than you are. He's okay with. Sure, it's okay. If you think I'm an idiot, I have the upper hand there. Because if you think I'm an idiot, I can always catch you off guard.

Christina: And he always does.

Jack: And he always does.

Christina: I don't know how.

Jack: The right ignores blatant facts because he says so. And he's tricked them many, many times. The left will ignore blatant facts just because he says so. They. They get sucked into vortexes of his thoughts. He does have the perfect words. He destroys the psyche of dumb people.

Christina: Yes.

Jack: He said idiots will vote for me and idiots voted for him. He said, these morons on the left are gonna freak the f*** out when I do this. And they did f****** freak out. They're all idiots. Both sides are so stupid. They don't realize that Trump isn't what he says he is. He's what he secretly is and lies to you about an image that you're gonna follow. He knows who's gonna do what.

Christina: It works for him.

Jack: It works for him very well. And so he has an army of followers and haters, all based on his chosen perception.

Christina: And that was the end of January.

Jack: Yeah, beautiful. End of January, it was the we're still in light time, light light mode. Very simple, easy.

Christina: I don't know. Those are pretty crazy situations.

Jack: But no, that was tame s*** compared.

Christina: To what comes next.

Jack: That was all tame s***. Yeah. Cuz next comes February. So we finished almost at 10,000 cases on January. Come February, by the end of February, we have about 85,000 cases.

Christina: Crazy jump.

Jack: That's a crazy jump. To contain the coronavirus outbreak, the Chinese government sealed off Wuhan, which happened at the beginning, at the end of January and banned public transportation and private cars from the streets and access to the streets. Businesses shut down. Hospitals were the only place essentially open and groceries were Essentially being delivered to people's doorsteps because they were now allowed outside of their house. Rationing.

Christina: They were really trapped.

Jack: They were locked the f*** down.

Christina: What?

Jack: Yep.

Christina: That's the beginning now. Are they all dead? Is it nothing there now?

Jack: No, there's probably fine now.

Christina: Okay.

Jack: Or they're still going through it. Who knows? Like, the world hasn't solved the problem yet, so who the h*** knows? You're starting this year, still dealing with that. But by February 2, all global air travel has been cut, which is great.

Christina: I mean, I guess it's bad for people who need to travel, but yes, great for Earth. Earth was like, I need this.

Jack: Yeah, Earth was definitely. That's the craziest part. I remember somewhere in, like March, after the lockdowns happened, that people were making those posts about just seeing animals coming out. It's like, Earth is healing itself or whatever.

Christina: Earth is healing itself. Oh, yes. I think that was a meme too.

Jack: Yeah, it was f****** everywhere.

Christina: Yeah.

Jack: And then it got it all obviously, like mediums, like spun out of control and then dumb equal.

Christina: Exactly. Yeah. It's like two. What was it? Two scooters floating out of the water. Earth is healing itself. Yeah, I don't know.

Jack: Sounds about right. Yep. Yep. But basically February is a really slow month because it's very drowned in Covid. That's pretty much all the excitement.

Christina: Covid.

Jack: Covid. By February 3, the US declared public health emergency. So, okay, we caught up to s*** that's already been going on. We don't f****** do s*** on time, I guess.

Christina: Or watching Covid on the news 247 by now. Or I feel like more on Feb. March.

Jack: Yeah, more like March or whatever. I remember tracking.

Christina: Yeah.

Jack: Every time we were here, we would always check to see what. What the progress was.

Christina: Yeah. But the rest of the people in the Illuminati office weren't really paying attention until March.

Jack: Yeah. Until we were all given the order of. Now it's serious, guys. Yeah, Time to work.

Christina: Yeah.

Jack: But by the 10th, China's COVID 19 deaths had exceeded of SARS. What? The SARS crisis.

Christina: Do you remember how much death was in the sars?

Jack: No, but this is way more than that.

Christina: Yes.

Jack: And then on February 25th, the CDC says COVID 19 is heading towards pandemic.

Christina: Status and people flipped out. Not this part.

Jack: This is the.

Christina: This is not the part yet.

Jack: They were freaking out at the. Just the anticipation that it might be called the pandemic was like, oh my God. Like, bro, whatever's happening is already happening. They're Just changing the title of it.

Christina: But the change somehow made it feel more like, oh, my gosh. Like, these cases aren't oh, my gosh. But.

Jack: Well, we finish February, like I said, with 85,000 cases, and then it jumps. And then it jumps. So that by the end of March, we're at 800,000 global cases. Ten times over.

Christina: Yes. Oh, my gosh.

Jack: So where we're. It's definitely spreading pandemic style.

Christina: Mm. Man. But the numbers are just so crazy. It's just gonna get crazier.

Jack: The leaps are monumental.

Christina: Yes.

Jack: So March.

Christina: The first lockdown.

Jack: Yes. Yes, the first lockdowns. And ahead of the possibility of those lockdowns, the first thing that happened after people heard, oh, my God, it might become a pandemic is we have to stock up on supplies for when we're locked down. And everybody had the same idea. Fair enough. Stock up on what you have. Of course, there's greedy people who were gonna take more than they needed. There's always that bunch of people who are douchebags, essentially. I got more money. I'm buying way more. And, yeah, whatever you're douchebagging, you deserve to be in by the zombies that are coming or whatever's happening. And I'm pretty sure in New Jersey, at some point, there was, like, some other plague.

Christina: Why?

Jack: There was some other s*** killing people off, but the government was suppressing. I remember that s*** specifically. I remember reading about that. That the government was suppressing some f****** other plague that was happening. Right. In New Jersey.

Christina: Yeah.

Jack: You remember that? We had this conversation about how some other sh. Like, plague was happening in Jersey.

Christina: Yeah, I remember talking about it, but I don't know, like, what happened with that?

Jack: This s*** got crazier, I guess, and it, like, over camera. Anyway, so when people were, you know, shopping, buying their things, some mass hysteria took over.

Christina: Yes.

Jack: And it led to people, instead of buying food, buying toilet paper. All of it.

Christina: All of it.

Jack: All of it, yes. Everywhere in the world. The world ran out of toilet paper.

Christina: Not really. Because they had so much.

Jack: Not really, because toilet paper are usually locally made, and toilet paper tends to be stocked in the warehouse real close by.

Christina: But they was gone.

Jack: And it was gone for, like, a week.

Christina: Yeah.

Jack: Because they would. If you come at. If you come into the supermarket. This applies to most things in a supermarket. If you empty the thing out at night, the stock deliver people show up at night and restock so that by the morning, everything is already there.

Christina: Yeah. So the horse shortage is just for the night. Yeah.

Jack: Until the close by warehouse ran out. That doesn't mean they don't have some giant other warehouse somewhere with it. Which is why it took a week after the warehouse ran dry. Because people kept hoarding it. Because it happened in a domino effect way where somebody saw somebody buying too much toilet paper and they were like, oh, s***, this probably happening. Everyone let me buy toilet paper. And so they bought toilet paper. Then some other person sees the person who originated doing it. The person who saw them doing it panicked, and then they panic, and you follow this train of thought. And then before long, everybody only buying f****** toilet paper. The zombies. And that repeatedly led to the warehouses themselves running dry. But the local warehouse, not the distribution warehouse. So the local warehouse at the end of the week would get stocked f****** anyways. And people were like, oh, the shelves are empty. We gotta get as much as we can when we see it. Which is ridiculous.

Christina: Yes. And that lasted a while.

Jack: That lasted a while. Lasted a couple of weeks before people just started putting up signs. No, you are. You take one.

Christina: Yes. There was a lot of. You take one for. Because it started with toilet paper, but then it became other things like.

Jack: Yeah, hand sanitizer.

Christina: Yeah. Loves frozen food. I saw that.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Christina: Also, if you want to know more about toilet paper, we did an episode about what, the many conspiracies of why toilet paper.

Jack: Oh, yeah.

Christina: Besides hysteria, there are other reasons.

Jack: Yeah, there's definitely way more going on there. So if you're interested on that, you could go check that out. But the shortages of toilet paper were so global, they hit all the major locations in the world, predominantly. So we're talking Hong Kong, Australia, United Kingdom, United States. Big, giant, f****** colossal places.

Christina: I'm happy it wasn't just United States. It would be embarrassing if we were the only country.

Jack: I think it started in Australia.

Christina: Really?

Jack: Yeah. I think we were the followers in this instance.

Christina: I don't know what's worse. No. I think it's a little better than if it was just us and we were the only ones.

Jack: But it feels like something very American.

Christina: Yes. Yes, it does.

Jack: It does. Feels like something only United States people know about. Anyways, on March 6, to change the tone. To change the tone of people, you know, a pandemic murdering people, because that's crazy. And people fighting each other like zombies over toilet paper and mass death happening. Will look in this other direction. At March 6, 21 passengers on a California cruise ship test positive.

Christina: I don't know how that's more positive, like, good news compared to the horrible news. You just Said you made it sound like they're positive.

Jack: 21 positive people. That's better than 21 negative people. Not really. Isn't it weird? Why don't we say negative, you're negative.

Christina: Because negative is negative. Or it feels like it's weird that.

Jack: Negative means positive and positive is negative.

Christina: I. Whatever.

Jack: You're infected, you're positive, which is a negative thing. Yes, you're negative, which is a positive thing. Yeah, that's weird.

Christina: That is weird. That's how it works.

Jack: Point being, 21 passengers in a California cruise ship test positive. Those people weren't gonna see home in a long time. They were gonna have a bad time. March 9 rolls by. Italy places 16 million people in quarantine.

Christina: They got a lot of people now.

Jack: We're getting into harsh territory, though. 16 million people in quarantine, more than a quarter of its population. In a bid to stop the COVID What? Yeah. A day later, the quarantine expands to cover the entire country. That 25% means nothing because a hundred percent goes into lockdown.

Christina: Crazy. Wow, that's crazy.

Jack: 16 million people was a quarter. So we're talking 68, 68, 64. 64 million people in quarantine. Yep.

Christina: That's even more people. Yes. We're dealing with millions.

Jack: Whole country on lockdown.

Christina: Whole country. Yep.

Jack: That's crazy. Then we have March 11th. Finally, the people who bought all the toilet paper get what they were hoarding toilet paper for. The COVID virus is titled a pandemic.

Christina: Are you sure it wasn't. It was titled a pandemic, and then people started getting toilet paper. Do you remember the order?

Jack: Yeah, it was definitely before.

Christina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah, it was definitely the anticipation. People were doing it ahead of lockdowns.

Christina: Oh, yeah. Okay. Yes. It was before lockdowns. I remember that.

Jack: Okay. Yeah, yeah. And then on the 13th, Trump declares COVID 19 a national emergency. Kind of late, buddy, but it's all right. On the same 13th, all travel from Europe stopped into the US no more. We don't want no more Europeans here.

Christina: Yes.

Jack: We're banning everybody's travel, essentially. And then California becomes the first state to issue a stay at home order, which failed.

Christina: Did it fail at the beginning?

Jack: It was fine at the beginning. It helped.

Christina: It did help.

Jack: Yes. It worked. It brought it way down and for a way long time. They were the first place to have a bunch of people. But there. A bunch was in the low, like the double digits.

Christina: Okay.

Jack: They had double. I remember following it. There was one here. There's two there. There's Three.

Christina: Yeah.

Jack: It wasn't like overnight. There's thousands.

Christina: But it's like that now.

Jack: Yeah, it's like that now. They managed to fight it off at the beginning, then they opened up and s*** hit the fan. And we discover by the 31st that COVID 19 could be transmitted through the eyes.

Christina: I'm not sure what that means.

Jack: It means that, like, you can cry.

Christina: On someone and then they get Covid.

Jack: No, we're saying that it's no longer just you covering your mouth and your nose. If there is air particles that have the virus in it and that lands on your eye, you have now contracted the COVID Oh, yes.

Christina: Do glasses help at all?

Jack: No, they'll help from the front, I guess.

Christina: Yeah.

Jack: But there's like quite a bit of opening. So I guess with glasses you have more protection than somebody without.

Christina: Yeah, like a 5% or some low.

Jack: Percentage, some added protection, but without like full gauze goggles blocking your face.

Christina: Why hasn't that become a popular thing?

Jack: I don't know. We could barely handle masks because this is America. So. Yeah, by now we have global lockdowns and hundreds of thousands of businesses go out of business and people go homeless. Schools close, airports close. Travel is globally banned. And around the same time, we have the stock market beginning to crash because nobody's driving. Oil prices drop, stock prices drop in the Dow Jones hits below low anything.

Christina: It'S ever hit in history.

Jack: In history.

Christina: Well, it's pretty crazy month.

Jack: Yeah.

Christina: S***'s starting to get real related, but it's pretty crazy.

Jack: Yes. The domino effect of COVID is crazy. The right at the beginning s*** was real.

Christina: Yes.

Jack: And people went into panic hard. A lot of people thought it was.

Christina: Like the end and somehow it's not.

Jack: It's never the end. We're f****** cockroaches.

Christina: Yes.

Jack: Nothing's gonna f****** kill us. But we end March at 800,000 to enter April. So April 27, South Korea told CNN that despite speculation Kim Jong Un, who was expected to be dead because he was ill, was actually alive. So basically, conspiracy theories.

Christina: There's so much conspiracy theories about whether he was really alive or not, because they were saying he was, but no one's seen him.

Jack: Nobody saw him for a while because he was ill. They thought he might have. The one of the things. It was the possibility the virus made it into the country, which it still hadn't because they're so f****** locked down and cut off from the rest of the world.

Christina: Yeah, I can't imagine that. But even if they did, we would.

Jack: Never know yeah, but eventually it did made it in. It did make it in.

Christina: It didn't make it.

Jack: Yeah, it made it in one way or another. I don't remember how the f***. But that's not even it, because we also start getting into sketch territory when the Pentagon releases videos that they have taken into classified files of UFOs before. They. If you remember a couple of years ago, there was one 2017, this one 2019, and one in 2006 or something. All these videos that they kept collecting, saying we were gonna find out what they are. Those are just, you know, planes.

Christina: This is the time they say, we don't know.

Jack: Yeah. They release all three of them and they're like, we don't know what any of this is. None of our enemies, none of our allies have anything we're seeing here. We can't tell you what it is. Society, it's yours. You figure it out. Yes, but people are so panicked because the virus, that s*** just disappears. Like two days later, we forgot about it. Like aliens. Yeah. Yeah, but the virus is here now. Yeah, you should have showed us this, like, last year.

Christina: But we were showed this last year. Oh, but they didn't say anything, I guess. Does that make a difference?

Jack: Yeah, we saw videos, but nobody was like, it wasn't an official government message saying, this is some crazy s***, guys.

Christina: Yes. Oh, Trump's cures. He gives us some crazy cures that month. One of the cures was disinfectant. Like maybe we could put that in our bodies.

Jack: Oh, yeah, Yummy. Bleach.

Christina: Yes.

Jack: Inject bleach right into your veins, bro. That's the solution.

Christina: And the other was using very powerful light.

Jack: Yeah, ultraviolet light. So the theory here is he is assuming that we're so advanced he has way hopes for us, that we can somehow capture photons, put enough of them together without them phasing through things for us to, I guess, theoretically inject the photons of light into our body or shine light through us to kill it, the virus. So, yeah, those are some of Trump's lovely cures. Cures.

Christina: I thought those were amazing.

Jack: So, April, another particularly tame month that took place. It was kind of like February, where March was the giant spike in chaos. February, pretty tame. January was kind of chaotic. It began strong and then kind of came down for February, went way the f*** up for March, and then we get to April and we're back to just normal year, minus the fact that the virus was spreading like f****** wildfire that whole time. But at this point, we were dealing with it for A month globally.

Christina: We're bored of it.

Jack: We're bored of it already. We're getting used to. We're like, whatever.

Christina: Mm.

Jack: And so some people get chill and start to do things they were doing before the lockdowns happen. And the virus started spreading in those little pockets where people were like, I don't give a f***. And the spread got so vicious, eventually we ended up at 3 million infections coming from the previous month's 800,000.

Christina: And what's the jump from 8,000? I mean, 800,000 to 3 million.

Jack: That's roughly, what, like, four times over?

Christina: It's. It's going up there.

Jack: It's. We're climbing some heights. We're climbing some heights. But then we enter May. And May is relatively boring through the month. It's casual boring. We're just bouncing off of. We've got crazy numbers happening, virus wise. But other than that, the month goes relatively fine. Very quiet. Everybody's scared because of the virus. We're just learning how to function with it. And then the other shoe drops. It was May 25 when a black, unarmed man was put on the ground. And with the four officers present, one of them, their knee on this man's neck, he is left to die without being able to breathe. While caught on video, the death of George Floyd, which seemed like just another black guy being killed by a white officer, another unarmed black man being killed by another white officer, abusing power. But there were a couple of things that made this situation different than the others.

Christina: What was that?

Jack: We had three cops, aside from the guy who was leaning on him, visible. They were all present, doing absolutely nothing, saying nothing, while a man is saying he's dying. Other times, you have cops on top of the person, handcuffing them, putting them. No, this guy wasn't even being handcuffed. He was just being held on the ground.

Christina: He was just being murdered.

Jack: He was just being murdered. There was nothing else happening. It was being recorded from several different angles, so it could not be disputed. And the view of the victim was clear. It wasn't hard to see. They could just zoom in on the phone. The shot was perfect. And you can see a man die slowly. Very, very slowly, unarmed, for no reason.

Christina: But that was the last straw for.

Jack: But that was the straw that broke the camel's f****** back, bro. Yes, it piled on for the last 200 years.

Christina: That was it.

Jack: And that was the one that was like, one too many. Come the very next day, May 26, Minneapolis is stormed by so many g****** protesters. People were coming from Other states to protest.

Christina: Wow.

Jack: Minneapolis became crazy. It became the largest protesting site ever. Streets were flooded, hundreds of Thousands of people. May 27th. Contagious. Not only are we dealing with a contagious virus that seems to have gone on break towards the end of f****** May for whatever reason, but nationwide police brutality protests. Cities all over the country began to protest because of the same s*** that keeps happening.

Christina: And then the police solved these problems.

Jack: Yes.

Christina: By assaulting protesters 100%.

Jack: The police solved their police brutality problem or attempted to do so with police brutality. You guys think we're being vicious. We're gonna beat you with sticks, shoot you with rubber bullets, hit you with tear gas, and push you forcefully out of where we deem our control territory.

Christina: They proved them.

Jack: They proved the protesters wrong. This is America. But that didn't go too well. That solution to peaceful protesting where we're gonna basically assault you guys for exercising your right to protest, which is an amendment right. So they're basically having their amendments violated by having people, police officers, assault them. Come the 28th, those protests evolved into riots. Minneapolis is now classified a hostile territory because there is a literal war happening between protesters, of which some picked up arms and police officers. Now we have a country that's teetering on the brink of collapse.

Christina: Mm. This is just the last four days of May.

Jack: Yeah. This is. We're just still f****** ending this month now following this. Because we couldn't just end with the country on the verge of collapse over race war and the death. The increasing death based on a virus that's sweeping the country. But. But right around this time, Japan decided we're gonna release the Murder Hornets Attack America.

Christina: Yes.

Jack: Which are fully trained bees the size of cars that fly in and eat all the other bees to steal their nests and replace Americans.

Christina: Replace where we get our honey. That's the end of honey. That's the end of our flowers. That's the end of a lot.

Jack: Maybe they make honey.

Christina: Are you sure about that? I thought that's why we don't want them.

Jack: I have no idea. I have no idea why we don't want them. Maybe it's because they're f****** the size of cards or some s***.

Christina: I thought it was because they could kill you in one sting.

Jack: Oh, yeah, probably.

Christina: And also they're killing our bees, which we need to pollinate. Yes. I think those are the two big problems with murder hornets.

Jack: Sure. It's not that they're just robot bees programmed like Black Mirror by the Japanese to come and replace American.

Christina: Why are they killing Japanese people?

Jack: Because they're controlled by Japanese people. The crooked Japanese robots. There's hackers out there too. You think Japan is free of hackers?

Christina: Mm.

Jack: Anyways, yeah. So scientists launch a full scale hunt for the.

Christina: The hornets.

Jack: The hornets.

Christina: The hornets.

Jack: The hornets.

Christina: Yes. The horn nests.

Jack: Hello, Hornets nests. Then. Yeah, they were worried that they would definitely destroy all the bees and we'd be f***** forever. Anyways, to finish with a little bit of a cherry. The apocalypse is clearly looming. Society is on collapse. Civil war is on the edge. Plagues surrounding everything. For whatever reason, storms are f****** drowning half the world. And down by India and Nepal, a consistent storm, rain and showers and crap that keeps happening over there starts to flood their river, endangering thousands in both India and Nepal. Because this is America.

Christina: That's not America.

Jack: Fair enough. And we end that month having reached almost 6 million cases of the COVID virus. So it doubled, doubled, but it seems to be slowing down. We went. We multiplied by nine first, then by 10, then by four.

Christina: Oh, there's one more thing from Main though.

Jack: What?

Christina: On May 28th, US COVID 19 deaths past 100,000 mark.

Jack: Oh, interesting. So we have 6 million cases and a hundred thousand deaths, which is crazy. And then that's where we get to June. But we're gonna have to do June next time on Dragon Ball Z. No, we're gonna have to do June on the next episode because we are running out of time now.

Christina: Alright.

Jack: Yes. Cuz this year is epic as f***.

Christina: Yeah, it's been pretty epic and sad and very all over the place. It's been all over the place, man.

Jack: It has been. It has been very all over the place. S***'s crazy. But it is what it is. And luckily now we're living in the future. That's way in the past. We barely remember that.

Christina: Yeah, now we got hoverboards for our hoverboards.

Jack: Yeah, we got hoverboards for our hoverboards. My flying car is parked out back. And everything, you know, everything is evolved.

Christina: Which also has hoverboards.

Jack: Everything government is run entirely by black women. There's no white males at all in office anymore. It's all black women. So. Well, different world, man. Different world. That was a long time ago. Kids were born and went to college and have grown old. That came after that year, that horrid year.

Christina: So a few days they just aged.

Jack: Yeah, they've gone through. They've become experts in fields and everything.

Christina: Okay. They're the ones that changed all of our lives.

Jack: Yeah, we cleaned the planet and Everything all right. Fantastic. Anyways, if you guys like conversations of this nature, there are conversations which we touch a lot of the topics here because it's a year's review. So, you know.

Christina: Yes.

Jack: Skim through our episodes, I suppose, because.

Christina: We have great, great conspiracies. Great points.

Jack: Yes. There's so much going on and Covid is a big one.

Christina: Yeah.

Jack: So, yeah, go catch up. Go find out what's going on.

Christina: Listen to every single episode of last year that we made. How many episodes are that?

Jack: It should be 52, because there's 52 weeks, minus the guest episode of every month. That would be 12. So there's 40 episodes.

Christina: Okay, so you're telling them to ignore.

Jack: The guest episodes if they're looking for content like this.

Christina: Oh, okay.

Jack: I mean, you can always, always go ahead and check out the guest episodes where I bring on an interesting creator or a scholar and we have conversations about stuff.

Jack: Bye.

Christina: Okay. Wrong.

Jack: I'm sure you weren't out there, like, this is gonna be. Be naughty.

Christina: What if the child little me was naughty Garden age five year old. The five year old me, I don't know. She was a super villain.

Jack: She was a super villain. You were just terrorizing people. That's crazy.

Christina: Yes. Were you a super villain too?

Jack: I wasn't.

Christina: What were you?

Jack: I don't know. I didn't exist in school.

Christina: Exist in school? Yeah.

Jack: There was no me in school. I phased into existence right before this podcast began.

Christina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Well, there's. There's so many problems with that, considering I was already a robot in the World War and I was then killed and a ghost. Well, no, I was a normal person. I was alive for 60 years, then died, then got remade with ghost robot technology. If I remember correctly, then that ghost robot was cloned three times, of which I am the third iteration. There's still a second one somewhere out there that didn't get murdered because we killed the wrong person who was supposed to be just me.

Christina: Yes. But it wasn't.

Jack: But it wasn't. And because I, for whatever reason, couldn't tell me apart from me. Or wait, was it me?

Christina: Yeah, there was a version of you that. It was you. There was. There was just two you's. Clones. The you you and the slower you. Because I think he was a clone of you.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. I'm the third clone. There was the original clone who was. Who began the show. He was just killed and replaced one day because talking. Yeah, that happened, if I remember correctly, between episode 211. And 212. No, it was actually both in episode 211 where the first half began with that Jack. He got killed and continued the clone on the second part of that episode with Dave.

Christina: That clone wasn't you.

Jack: No, I'm the third clone who came from the future to kill the past clone and failed. And. But now I'm in the place. But I didn't know that clone ran away. I'm the clone who failed at killing the other clone. Or I'm the one who got failed? No. Am I the second clone?

Christina: Yes, because the one that tried to kill you was a slow clone. He was like. I don't know. There was something. He was special because he was a copy of a copy.

Jack: Oh, my God.

Christina: That's why he confused you with your friend and he killed your friend instead.

Jack: I get it, I get it. I get it. Because I was cloned from the original the way that the first clone was cloned.

Christina: Yes.

Jack: We were both. I'm the second clone at this spot. But we were both. I'm just second in order. But not cloned from the clone. Yeah, the third clone was cloned from me.

Christina: Yes. Then he. He wanted to kill you to replace you.

Jack: Because failed.

Christina: Yes. And failed. And then I don't know what happened to him. He might be out there still.

Jack: Fantastic.
