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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Cristina: And I am your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. Oh, my God. So baffling.

Cristina: Are they really that baffling?

Jack: They're always baffled, aren't they? Aren't you baffled? Haven't you been baffled every time? Haven't I managed to baffle you about the misconceptions, about the kind of. The level of ignorance we have on 100% of all the information all of the time?

Cristina: Yes, it's pretty baffling. Yeah, pretty baffling.

Jack: It's pretty baffling. So next time when we were talking about a school, talking about a school, we were really, as usual, investigating some other part of this infinite Rubik's Cube. And in the school where Aristotle, by the way, Aristotle was teaching at a school that was allegedly inspired by Apollo, who happened to be a Greek God, but happened to be in the notes as an individual who just happened to be in the school along with Jehovah as well, which is very interesting. And it gave us Jehovah's last name, which is overpowered. Now we know Loi is either last name or a title. And all of that happened. And within those same notes written by Aristotle in the library of Aristotle, they are kept in Lycium, the school, there is a mention of Hermes Trismegistus.

Cristina: What a name.

Jack: It means thrice great.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yes. And that mention in Aristotle's notes does not describe him like a mythical individual, but rather the same way it does with Apollo and Jehovah. It describes Hermes Trismegistus like not the deity Hermes Trismegistus, but the individual Hermes Trismegistus. There is a legendary figure that's based on a God named Hermes and a g******** hoth. And there is also an individual of this name who has none of the characteristics of either one of those two that share all the characteristics with the first Hermes Trismegistus, but the share none of the characteristics with the second Hermes Trismegistus, which is the legendary. No, not legendary.

Cristina: Very confusing. What?

Jack: Yeah, there's like four guys with the same exact name.

Cristina: Did you talk about this last time? No, no.

Jack: You got questions, I got answers.

Cristina: Okay. Okay, like, okay, what?

Jack: Yeah, the level of unpacking you want is up to you. I got way into this.

Cristina: Ok, okay. So there is a God that he's based on or something.

Jack: There's a God named Hermes and there's a guy named Toth.

Cristina: Are they really. They're related.

Jack: There's a man. No, they're not the God named Toth, the Egyptian God, by the way, the Egyptian God named Toth is literally a member which. You remember this from last episode. Was literally a member of the Greek gods. I mean the Greek gods. The Egyptian gods. And Hermes is one of the Greek gods.

Cristina: How do they relate?

Jack: There are two legendary figures named Hermes, Rhys, Megisthus. There's a real guy. And all of these fake characteristics applied to the other guy. It seems that there was an actual guy.

Cristina: Does Toth have to do with anything?

Jack: Both the characteristics of Toth and Hermes are the same. Become Hermes Trismegistus.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: He is a combination of both these individuals.

Cristina: Okay. Is he like their child or he's some other thing?

Jack: Or there is a fictional character, okay. That people took from Hermes, the real Trismegistus man, okay. And built a mythical version of him. Stories that became so different than the real man that it became a different man of his own. A man nobody ever saw. A man nobody ever shares his name. Yes. Identical almost to Toth and Hermes, the God. It's a combination of both of those. Seems to be hers. Hermes Charisma guesses.

Cristina: Okay, so with the school, are we talking about this made up version or this God version or both?

Jack: That's up to you to decide as we go through it.

Cristina: Okay, what, what, what's the difference? What was the God about? Was he also about the rules of the universe or whatever?

Jack: Yeah, he's just one of the many gods of creation. But not really, no. Within the context of the information given, he was just one of the Greek gods.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: So as far as we. And we went through him before when we were just going through the Greek gods and the research they were doing as a research, he was just background eyes. He was a helping hand. He wasn't an important God.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But the characteristics of Toth blend. Thrown in a blender with Hermes equal the last name. Trust me guesses. And now you got a new person. But it turns out that that legendary fake made a person was actually a real person too. So there are two individuals with this name, the fake character and the real person. And the real person was also very impressive. The problem is that neither one of these two people share characteristics. There are two legendary individuals, one of which has nothing but fake characteristics that never happened. Because it's made of two real individuals that actually existed.

Cristina: It's very confusing.

Jack: And then one guy who actually has things he did in the real world.

Cristina: And Socrates is writing about the fictional one or the other one.

Jack: That's for you to decide. It sounds like he's writing about a real one by all of our discussion. So I don't know why you're asking. And obviously we would be talking about the real one we established before. But you can decide who we're talking about based on the context of what we're talking about.

Cristina: Okay. What?

Jack: Yep, that's where we. That's where we are. We got this Hermes guy that we know is lurking in the school. According to Aristotle's notes, he mentioned three people again, Apollo, Jehovah. Yes, and Hermes.

Cristina: And Hermes was just a teacher.

Jack: What we know of him, we don't know if he was just a teacher. We know he was a teacher. I don't know if he was just a teacher. I know he was a teacher.

Cristina: Is there more on him?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Like what?

Jack: You want all of it listed? I could just list it off.

Cristina: I don't know what's important to. If he's the guy we're looking for.

Jack: Well, that's the investigation we're doing. The point is to find that out. I can't tell you if he is a guy we're looking for. No, like if I knew I would just start there and be investigate from that point. Well, he's the guy we're looking for. This is why. But that's not the case for hopefully trying to figure out if he's the guy we're looking for. So that's for us to Conclude. But. Hermitras McGussj. Right. The questions we're coming in with are essentially who is he?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Is he somehow related to our greater narrative other than being this guy who seems to fit the suit? But we've come across coincidences before.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And ultimately is he our necromancer? Is the question they're going in with. Right. So immediate things that matter. The first and most important mention of the name happens to be exactly on paper, by the way. Happens to be also in the Hellenistic period when we were looking at Alexander the Great, which puts us where we wanted to be to begin with. There's holes in this explanation which I'll get to.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And to catch up again, he's also the author of the Hermetica.

Cristina: Those are hermetic principles.

Jack: The hermetic principles and the philosophies and narratives surrounding it. Now, several important figures within both Islam and Christianity have described him As a wise pagan.

Cristina: What? Okay, yes.

Jack: These are people of the past and people of the present have both described them as a wise pagan. I found that very interesting. And some descriptions included prophet. So.

Cristina: So weird, because the Hermetic principle doesn't feel very like he's talking about a God or like he's saying many gods have made us. Unless I missed it.

Jack: Well, the Hermetica includes a bunch of texts about religio philosophy, but it seems to lean into that religion is ultimately philosophy. Because his teachings, which I have listed right over here. Let's see if I can. So his teachings, right. They included the fact that he believed in a singular universal philosophy that would thread through all of the religions and sciences of the world, essentially proving them to be all correct and one simultaneously.

Cristina: Doesn't sound very pagan unless I have no idea what pagan is.

Jack: Well, yes, because he believes in every.

Cristina: God, but also they're all the same one God.

Jack: Yes. So these are in the. Keep in mind, I didn't say he describes themselves this way.

Cristina: Okay. I said yes. Okay.

Jack: Yes. Leaders within Islam and Christianity call them this. And we know Christianity at this time is also. Well, not Christianity this time, but Christianity in the early stages. And most of the sects of Christianity now are just a manipulation of the true narrative of what happened. They're gonna slander whatever the truth was no matter what. So we already can't believe what they say?

Cristina: Yes. Oh, that makes sense. They have to claim he is okay. And also, they probably don't understand what he's talking about.

Jack: They probably do.

Cristina: Well, then why would they be against it?

Jack: Because they are against him.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now, interesting enough, other than this Aristotle mention, which he describes him as wandering the halls and waiting for either an elite or a special group of students that he would teach either some secret or private information to see. He's either. He either has elite students that he teaches some profound knowledge to where he's molesting Hella students, in which case this dates back to that time where his special students got the best treatment, which, like, I wouldn't be shocked if that's what's happening happening here. Because we'd also not come up with age limits yet. It was just probably a bunch of miners. Who knows at this point, but minus that possibility, it looks like he was teaching people who could learn and that they were elite, not minor.

Cristina: Okay, Disturbing. Okay.

Jack: I mean, it's the pattern at this point.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Especially because we're talking about leaders of leaders. And it seems like the people always doing this is leaders of leaders.

Cristina: So he could be one.

Jack: Like, if he fits the suit 100%. And like, if we. If we turn enough stones, that's always there, along with adrenochrome. It's like I'm already milking them for blood. Might as well f*** them. Like, I think that's the ultimate idea. That's why we always find both, since they're already here.

Cristina: I don't. I don't know. Maybe it's like I already have them.

Jack: In a cage and I'm milking him for blood. Like, how far can I go? Like, whatever. Oh, I got further than just raping them. Imma just rape them too.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Like, you know, that's ultimately the thought crossing their minds. Like we do all this other dark whatever. Yeah, they're jaded. They don't care.

Cristina: So crazy.

Jack: Okay, now again, he was discussed roaming the freaking holes.

Cristina: What?

Jack: You're a real person. The real version of you. There's records of this man. Many living life, doing things.

Cristina: He lives in the school?

Jack: No, he was just wandering the school and waiting for students. And then he goes and teaches the students and who the knows where. And they learn what the knows who.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But weirdly enough, he's quite connected to the Greek gods, because other than just Apollo, he also mentions Ashlepius. Aristotle mentions Asleepius, which you don't remember him directly, but you probably remember the name. No, you don't remember Sleepiest, because the sleepiest is the one who becomes Glycon, a snake. The Naga.

Cristina: The Naga. Yeah. Okay. He met Sleepius.

Jack: Well, I actually. Original. So this is a weird one, because in the text where we find Asclepius, we have texts about Aristotle as written from the perspective of Hermes, where he also talks about Asclepius. So the argument here is the same as Aristotle writing about Jehovah speaking with Apollo.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: This is Hermes writing about Aristotle talking with Asclepius.

Cristina: Philosophers back then were weird.

Jack: And they were like.

Cristina: They all did that. Like, all of them.

Jack: All of them. And this is funny because this, like, it would feel way more made up and if it wasn't for the fact that like when we even talk about Plato and Socrates is like this. Just talking about that.

Cristina: Exactly. It's like. Yeah, the same when we were. I don't. I don't get it. It's the. It is weird.

Jack: Yeah, it's just. They're just talking about each other. That's it. They're just gossiping and reviewing. Yeah, that's it. That's the whole thing. Whoa. The revelations we came up with because of gossip.

Cristina: Yes, that's exactly how it works.

Jack: He's stupid because he thinks this and I think that that's pretty much it. Yeah, Sums it up. That was the whole wall. Revelations were all so amazing. The renaissance is happening. But that's basically kind of sleepiest.

Cristina: Sleepyish.

Jack: Yeah. It was just be basically being mentioned within the text. There's no specific mention other than within a couple of conversations. Nothing was outstanding.

Cristina: It was just hanging out.

Jack: Yeah. Talking with students. He was seen in some interactions. It was just there.

Cristina: He's just there.

Jack: Nothing important. But he's present. That's just notable because it's another God being described again as an individual, which we also have on many others. And then we connect based on who in different texts they're said to be around. But now we have some of the people that. Because again we'll find like Zeus and there'll be literal text of a guy who fits every description of Zeus. But it's different when we have literally somebody saying the name and it's like, oh no, they were just a person. And it's like, oh, well, we knew, but we didn't have the proof. We just knew because all the data. So everything is a theory until somebody's like in a record. This guy is literally like, okay, one dude. Yeah, now that's different. Now it's a record that I can be like somebody was like straight out. That's. This is not a metaphor.

Cristina: Yeah. Did they mention sleepy is not becoming something else or something or it just.

Jack: No, it was just a mention of them.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: We can extrapolate that the events were probably true too based on it matching all of the other narratives we have that kind of fit the, the total image together. But this just. I like to note these moments when somebody confirms what we were already believing. Because 99.99 is not proof, it's a theory. Until somebody's like, no, I was there and that was just a person. It's like, okay, then that's a hundred percent. We have a first hand account of like that's just dude, whatever. Then that's different. That grounds it and that proves the things. And this s***'s hard to find because a lot of these people just discussed as gods in most texts and they were just.

Cristina: Did Zeus ever visit the school?

Jack: Not as far as I know.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now in the Quran I found a mention of Hermes, but by Jehovah in which he says he is a man of truth. So that's getting. Now I still have no idea based on any of these. If Hermes is Elysian or human based on what? I'm thinking human based on what we know of the other potential necromancers.

Cristina: But we don't have proof either.

Jack: We don't have proof on any of that. But he's on Jehovah's good side. But also Mary might have been human.

Cristina: Who?

Jack: Mary. And she was also on Jehovah's good side. So like there's not exclude. And like, so St. Patrick, there's not exclus. And Peter, like there's humans on his good side. It's not a rare, it's not impossible. Although rarity. Yeah, but he's a man of truth.

Cristina: That's what he said. He's a man.

Jack: That's the line from Jehovah.

Cristina: So then why do other people not like him? Why are they calling him pagan? If Jehovah's saying he's not, he's.

Jack: I think it's the branches of Christianity that aren't led by the Elysians.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I think it's Jesus, his branches of this.

Cristina: Very strange. But I guess because he wants himself to be the one on top no matter what.

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: Jehovah doesn't care.

Jack: I don't know. We actually have no clue.

Cristina: And why else would he want the other religions to be raised?

Jack: Well, no, eventually he dipped anyways, according to all this crap. So like I don't get any of.

Cristina: It, whoever's running his thing.

Jack: Yeah, I think it became the personal interest of other people. I think the lack of a leader is just leaders will come and thus cults will happen. But I don't think it's like his narrator. I think he dipped and let it all fall apart. But we also have no f****** clue. Again, these are just the stories that built on the pieces we put together.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But I find it interesting that Jehovah was on his side.

Cristina: That's awesome. It was interesting.

Jack: Now we're going to touch some important details because in reading I came across a word. I'm familiar with this word. I wasn't familiar with the words origin with the term. I suppose it's a term, not a word hermetically sealed. Except now saying it out loud within the context, it's like, duh. It's obviously related to what? Hermes, obviously.

Cristina: Oh, hermetic.

Jack: Yes, yes. It gets a little interesting now.

Cristina: Seal, seal. This. This is magic related. Well, this sounds very pagan. Okay, I changed my mind. He's a pagan.

Jack: It was happening. It was gonna be. It was gonna be. But as I read the following next sentences. Brace yourself. Because we've found things again that we weren't looking for, but that are answers to questions we had and some we didn't. So the term hermetically sealed originated literally because of this one. Hermes we're talking about who existed within the school of Lycium. It came specifically from taking residue left over from the magnum opus procedure, then placing it inside a glass and then sealed airtight by fusing the neck to the lid. This hermetically sealed container containment would then be heated for approximately 40 days to result in the philosopher's zone. The magnum opus is only the first steps of it. We thought that was the entire setup. Hermes actually knows the rest of it. Not only that. This predates.

Cristina: He's an alchemist.

Jack: He might have been made this s***.

Cristina: He. Oh, crap. What?

Jack: It's called hermetically sealed. Because he invented it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The last steps are literally named after him.

Cristina: Yeah. To create the stone.

Jack: The philosopher's stone. The reality bending philosopher's stone.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Hermetically sealed literally connects back to how he used to seal this vasel. That he would put the residue from performing the magnum opus. And that last few steps of putting it there, sealing it and superheating it.

Cristina: For he was murdering his students. Were they special in that way? Like they were gonna be sacrificed?

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: Because where's the residue coming from? Dead bodies?

Jack: We don't even know of him performing it. We just know that that's where that procedure comes from.

Cristina: He has to have though.

Jack: I know he performs it. Obviously it's named after him. But he's teaching these people.

Cristina: There's no way he just does the final step to it. That's weird.

Jack: Obviously he doesn't. I'm assuming. Keep in mind what we're talking about. Keep in mind what we're talking about. We still don't know what the rules are other than knowing how to use tech, a certain kind of philosophy and knowing Latin. Right. Basic requirements. But what do these culminate to make? Does he need you to find out all the other steps of the Magnum opus and somehow they lead you back to him and then he can teach you the rest of it. And only people who have gone on this road can piece all of those things together. I don't know.

Cristina: But he's making a philosophy stone.

Jack: He seems to be the guy who literally designed the method because it's called hermetically sealed. Unless there's an older method that doesn't have the seal. At least as far as we know. A part of the process is literally named after him.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So predating the process, having your name in it is pretty far back.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: As far until further proven. I'm claiming he's the guy who made it because he also fits every other suit we need him to fit. And this would just be like easier than saying some other guy you have.

Cristina: To sacrifice people for that.

Jack: Yes. I'm sure he's not sacrificing his students. That's stupid. He would be finding other people to sacrifice. Especially if he's working for the Elysians.

Cristina: And the Greek gods. They can just probably make things for him to sacrifice.

Jack: Yeah. And there's probably different degrees if there's a lot of experiments happening.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Also the thing I didn't mention last week, don't they. They have a couple. Yeah, the thing I didn't mention last week, the lycium is literally in descriptions. The one of the known descriptions. Didn't find anything on it. I looked to see if I could come across anything. But one of its literal descriptions is that it was also used to hold occult rituals. So putting this into that perspective now, there was definitely philosopher's stone creation happening in there that they were interpreting as cult rituals when in reality it was science. But if it's a suit of you just sacrifice a person or some probably kind of culty looking.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But it's secretive. You guys are doing some. That kind of looks like magic. But really you're doing some traceable steps in science.

Cristina: Yes. That's weird. What? They're sacrificing Nagas. Fake Nagas. They have a bunch. They're just making them those prototypes that are trash. Like he could just get rid of them.

Jack: Why would he have a Naga?

Cristina: No, when the gods. When they made a bunch and they're like these are all defected anyway.

Jack: Right. But he's not one of them. Why would he have access to any of that?

Cristina: Because they visit the school.

Jack: The Naga?

Cristina: No, the Greek gods.

Jack: The Greek gods don't visit the school.

Cristina: Oh no, not the Greek.

Jack: Other than just Apollo, which is the.

Cristina: One that's working with these Nagas, making them.

Jack: Zeus.

Cristina: Zeus. That's one.

Jack: No, this is not a Keto is.

Cristina: Zeus is not the one that's making other ones like the. The main Medusas.

Jack: Yeah, that's keto. That's Zeus's mega.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: And he's never visited the school?

Jack: No. As far as I know, no. The only individuals of note are the ones I've mentioned which are Apollo, it is Aristotle. Hermes, Just these individuals. Essentially. Yes, there were Alexander the Great and these individuals. But they were within the tiers. There's also tears in the school and within the tears that we're looking for. Alexander and his friends simply connected us to Aristotle. Yeah, they're surface level students. Their parents are rich type of s***. As opposed to. You really know. The deep knowledge. They don't know the deep knowledge.

Cristina: They were just in the right rituals and Etc.

Jack: Yeah, like the deep, deep s*** unrelated to them.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And that's what I believe was really just the making of the philosopher's own.

Cristina: But how are they making it?

Jack: By sacrificing people. They would bring obviously would be. Why they described it as a second as ritual. Cult rituals.

Cristina: Obviously just people.

Jack: What else would they be sacrificing? In every instance it's people.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Other than the crappy experiments we've known locally that are included butterflies and other.

Cristina: That is very.

Jack: Okay, we know of attempts to extract it from other. But like no, he was. They were more likely than not just bringing people to perform it, I guess.

Cristina: But I feel like the school would have a pretty bad reputation.

Jack: Why? If it's a secret, like how would they have a bad reputation? It's a secret. That is the point.

Cristina: No one would mention. Like that's a. That seems like a hard.

Jack: You're either learning it or dying.

Cristina: Okay. Okay. What?

Jack: Yeah, it has to fall into that category. Like this secret society. Some people can keep secrets. And that's also probably also why there's not a bunch of them. And I'm sure anybody who's tried to talk has been offed immediately.

Cristina: I guess that could happen. The Socrates never mentioned any of that though.

Jack: No, you mean Aristotle.

Cristina: Aristotle, yeah, Aristotle.

Jack: No, but again the fact that he has. So it's basically you perform the magnum opus and then you hermetically seal it. Those are two different sets of steps. Hermetically sealing is three steps and the magnum opus is four, seven steps total to creating a philosopher's stone. We thought the magnum opus was the entire process. Yeah, but it was the first half. The first part at least.

Cristina: So you keep it sealed and then what?

Jack: You heat it.

Cristina: You heat it.

Jack: You put it in there with some chemicals, some gases. In the script, it's not explained what they are. Some gases, some material. You seal it and then you heat it for 40 days. I was trying to find out what to put in there. There was too many different things. None of it. It was. And it was a coherent. It ranged too widely for you for it even to matter.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Like. Okay. There must be some way to zone in on this. At least I know those steps exist, but I couldn't figure out what it could possibly be. What it could possibly be. I know you perform the entire magnum opus and then you take that and you hermetically seal it, and it goes through those two processes, and then you have a philosopher zone.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: So now we have the completion. As far as we know. Unless the third part shows up.

Cristina: There could be a third part or.

Jack: A first part that we didn't know about.

Cristina: Oh, that's possible too. We have no idea.

Jack: Yeah. So as far as we know, the magnum opus is being hermetically sealed. And that is you hermetically sealed. The magnum opus and thus philosopher's own crazy.

Cristina: They were making a philosopher stone.

Jack: Yep. So this is a weird. The philosopher's stone seems to be about as rare and secretive. We were trying to compare and see how many of those we have. So the philosopher's stone seems to be about as secretive of an item as the people necromancers are.

Cristina: Yeah. Since it seems like.

Jack: We'Ve got Adam and Eve. Those are two philosopher stones. For a fact.

Cristina: Yeah. And whatever. No Christ, no Santa Claus is carrying with them.

Jack: Yes. Well, that brings us into an entirely different point to talk about, because in our attempt to answer whether or not this individual is a necromancer and he is out here working with now literally coming across text linking him, hermetically skilled is literally tied to the magnum opus. It is the last steps.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So you know how to make philosopher's stones and necromancy tied together again, because out of the individuals we know, and I've got this right here, which are St Nicholas, St Patrick and Merlin. All three depictions at one time or another featured red gem. What we discussed this we talked about. I don't remember all three of them. Nicholas has a staff with a red gem inside it.

Cristina: That was a necklace.

Jack: Patrick has a necklace.

Cristina: Patrick has a necklace.

Jack: Patrick has a necklace with a red gem inside it. And so does Merlin. Also has a red gem in his necklace. All three.

Cristina: What about Jesus?

Jack: We don't know about Jesus, but there is. Fair enough. No, you're totally right. Jesus also has an image which I do remember us talking about. That's not in my notes because I forgot about that and I didn't look at it. But I do remember specifically that he does have an image with also a necklace that seems to be more popular than the staff, unless the staff just allows it to be larger. And hence he's op. Because of that. Because the one in the staff, assuming the glow is to scale. The one in the staff is bright, bro.

Cristina: You sure it's not a necklace? He has a staff.

Jack: He has a staff. He has a staff with a red gem in it. And then Patrick. I looked at the notes. I looked at it and Patrick has a necklace and so does Merlin.

Cristina: And maybe Jesus.

Jack: Jesus also. I don't remember Jesus. I didn't go and check. But yes, I remember he has a necklace as well because I remember the specific image with the thing around his head.

Cristina: Okay. And Hermes has the necklace.

Jack: Well, Hermes is literally making them. I'm just talking about that. They're all connected to it. They're all connected to a red gem.

Cristina: But he doesn't. We don't have any stories of him wearing it or descriptions of him having something like it.

Jack: No, but he would need it. Why he can make it. These people have it because they didn't make it. It. He has it. He wouldn't have it. He's handing out the ability.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: As far as we know, he wouldn't need it. Also, if we had descriptions of him, this would be way easier than it is right now. The fact that we don't is part of why finding him is a problem.

Cristina: Because it's all secretive.

Jack: Yeah. If I had like a clean consistent. This person said this. This person said that. These are literally the same words. We would. No, I just need two individuals who line up. That's it. We know who he is by default.

Cristina: But we don't even know that much about him.

Jack: We know that much about him. It becomes quite a problem quite quickly. But I'm about to tell you why it becomes even more of a problem.

Cristina: Why? Okay.

Jack: Because this is where the point will happen.

Cristina: The point.

Jack: The point. So as far as we know, based on the information we have discussed, he seems to actually be the guy we're looking for. Although we don't have. Again, it's too hidden. But he fits the suit. He's messing with philosopher's stones. In fact, making it. He literally. There's a part of the process named after him that's crazy. So he might have made the process. There's nothing more necromancer than having designed what necromancers use. I think that's okay.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And he's teaching people this private knowledge that is already the ridiculous. Yeah. Super secretive to get there. And we know the steps to even be acknowledged or considered are super difficult to. And incredibly secretive. So kind of a lot of lining up lines. But what were you gonna say, like.

Cristina: How many people are actually learning this? Or, like, just being a part of the class doesn't mean you actually get it?

Jack: I think that's the case here. I think it's. People will be eliminated gradually as they figure it out and figure out who fits and who can do it.

Cristina: Okay. Because it's super rare that someone actually succeeds. I'm guessing thinking so.

Jack: Because we don't know about a lot of cases. We're talking spread out and few.

Cristina: Yeah, three.

Jack: We got three, maybe four. And with this guy, maybe five.

Cristina: That's crazy. Yes.

Jack: We might have more stones than these guys. Yeah. We have to Adam any stones. Yeah. Because let's think about it. We have Adam, Eve, whatever Yaldabaoth was using. We have whatever Santa has. We have whatever Patrick has. We have whatever Jesus has.

Cristina: Jesus.

Jack: Then we have the one that Merlin has. We're up to seven with that.

Cristina: Well, Merlin's not carrying the stone with him.

Jack: As far as we know, Merlin wears the necklace.

Cristina: Oh, yes, yes, yes. Yeah. The bell has a stone.

Jack: Yes. That's how he got the fairies.

Cristina: Oh, yeah. Okay. Ow. Okay, that's seven.

Jack: Yeah. We have. We've. We're finding stones now.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: We've unlocked the next level. We're finding stones, but somehow we still have less necromancers. We're up to three potential assurances, plus two huge maybes, which is the other maybe Jesus and Hermes. Although Hermes might not be a maybe. He might be the top of this. And then I see four plus one.

Cristina: Maybe Jesus may or may not. I mean, he is created from the stone, but he also probably has a stone.

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: Yeah, but if he doesn't have the stone, he still probably has the powers of the stone without having the stone, because he was made from the stone.

Jack: We don't know if these people are even can. We don't even know if they have a stone. We just know a red gem is in their possession. The one in St. Nicholas art is glowing. That's probably definitely it. In the other cases, it's just red gems. I don't know if bigger size means crazier illumination. And because it's in a necklace, we don't see it shine. So crazy. The only staff is the shiny one. But if it were to scale, then those could also be stones, and that would put us relative to scale. Like, we. We understand where they rank based on their stones, in which case we could literally just play a photo game and put them together and see who overpowers who.

Cristina: You're saying Santa overpowers everyone.

Jack: I think he. If the size of the stone matters, then he is on a whole other level.

Cristina: How did he even get such a big stone? Is he related to the school somehow? Was there a Nicholas student?

Jack: I don't know. But. But where? This gets even more complicated than talking about her medically sealed and finding out that he potentially designed the entire thing is when we talk about the three prophets. Because now something recently familiar is gonna make a little more sense. And now I'm starting to think it might be just cultural. So let's look at the following couple of steps. The three prophets are Enoch, Noah, and the Egyptian priest king. Why do these three individuals matter so f****** much right now? I don't know.

Cristina: They're from Egypt. I don't know.

Jack: All three of them went by the name Hermes Trismegistus.

Cristina: No, I didn't slap one. That makes no sense.

Jack: I found text with all of them going by that in their respective times.

Cristina: Why? Why? What does this name mean?

Jack: Well, like I said recently, new but this is a callback because as we also know, Loi turned out to be very similar.

Cristina: It's just some type of title.

Jack: It's just some type of a title. And now we're talking about somebody else. And I in looking through it, find they're not just of two people, but several people with the same name. Literally the same name. Because although I cannot confirm to you if Nicholas and Patrick are directly, I think, I think maybe either they also go by or went by Hermes Trismegastus, allowing it to be a lengthy name that transcends time. Or they aren't necromancers because Hermes Trismegistus might be a title for necromancers.

Cristina: Oh my gosh. What? But then is there like, how. How can they be related to his Hermes? What about them?

Jack: They're just labeled as Hermes in one text or another talking about them. So for example, if you look at Enoch, he's referred to as Idris, and Idris is then referred to as Hermes Trismegistus. They are the same guy. So you find Enoch through Christianity and then you find him in Islam where they literally one to one him to Idris. They're like, no, we just call him this over here. And then they change his name to Hermes Trismegistus as a title for what he does. And it's like, wait, so wait, hold the up. So you're just telling me that Enoch is Hermes? Trust me. Guess this, because you're literally saying that Idris you're literally just saying that Enoch translates to Idris, and the Idris is Hermes. So indirectly, I don't need him to say it in Christianity, because they said that they're prophets.

Cristina: But how does that relate to them being Hermes or Hermes?

Jack: Like, I don't know. They're just labeled as the three prophets, which are Enoch, Noah, and the Egyptian priest king.

Cristina: But they're not making stones or anything, or do they have stones?

Jack: I don't have any stories of them having made stones.

Cristina: And is there any stories of Hermes prophesizing?

Jack: There are many stories of Hermes prophesizing and getting it correct kind of often.

Cristina: Oh, okay. What?

Jack: Yes. But there are also many stories of Patrick doing that, and there are also many stories of Nicholas doing that. Weirdly enough, there are also many stories. Literally, the story is that Merlin did that. That is literally the Arthurian story that he literally prophesied. So in every instance, they prophesied and got it right. All of them.

Cristina: So you think those are. Then Hermes is a title, not an actual. Like, he's who they're talking about in these other stories.

Jack: Well. Well, here comes the need for an important metaphor that luckily. Thank you, cw, for making things popular at the right times. Oh, no, this was amc. No, thank you, cw. Thank you, amc, for making things popular at the right time. So that references make sense. With appropriate context, I would like to bring subject A. Negan.

Cristina: What?

Jack: A man who is, in fact Negan, but also a bunch of people who believe in his ideology and perform his bidding. Also go by Negan because it protects who Negan is to all go by Negan because then it obstructs who he is, where he is, what he's doing. If everybody just goes by Negan.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: This allows one incredibly important logic to be applied every. And by the way, I have to add the very next detail that it's very important because this is gonna send that home. This is the mic drop. I usually wait for a completed episode that is about in over an hour. But I'm dropping this and just done after I make my point, because I don't need a better point.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Hermes is not just a title people take, a name they take because everybody who fits the suit of Hermes, as we have gone through their images before, they all dress exactly the same. They all look exactly the same. Even within different religions. They usually. And follow my logic very, very directly here, within different religions, regardless of how the religion itself dresses. We're talking completely conservative, fully covered from the beginning of time religions and opposite religions that are okay with just being who you are in your flesh. All default to the same aesthetic for their leader, who happens to be long haired, bearded, in a robe, usually draped robes in a Roman style. Even if you're in f****** Islam, it doesn't matter where the h*** you wear. You dressed exactly the same and your leader looks exactly the same. If you remember literally the three individuals I used for Jesus for the image of us recently talking about Jesus when we were talking about his other titles, they all fit the same suit. Well, if you actually put all of Jesus's aliases next to St Nicholas and St Patrick and Merlin, you couldn't tell me who the f*** is who. Because every single one of them is indistinguishable in how they look in complete contrast to all the images of all the people drawn around them.

Cristina: What are you talking about?

Jack: All the art representing all of these individuals looks identical. Describing the individuals, even if. If we know within context they are not the same individual. While all the people around them looked completely differentiated from this one center person who always looked identical to each other. I believe that the ideology of taking her matris megistas. We will just use Negan for the sake of explaining this better. I believe they weren't just going by Negan. I believe they were opting into looking like Negan, talking like Negan, sounding like Negan, talking about Negan's philosophies, pretending the beaniegan to everybody they ever came.

Cristina: So we don't know who the real Negan is.

Jack: It would be so hard to zone in on who he is. Because the point was the philosophy.

Cristina: One guy.

Jack: There's one guy who began it. And the point is to obstruct who that is. The goal is to obstruct who that is. But the although good job in your mission, you created a bigger mission problem that helps us.

Cristina: How?

Jack: Because we know what we're looking for. You gave us thousands of examples of it. That's where he f**** up. Yes, you gave us thousands of examples to comb through. But in giving us examples, you reduced us from having to look through a billion.

Cristina: Yeah, okay.

Jack: Do you see the problem? So the logic for back then made sense because there weren't a lot of people. We're talking a fraction of the people. Hundreds of thousands. A couple of million people. Maybe a billion people at that time.

Cristina: All these people like Santa and whatever are like students of his who decided.

Jack: To really followers of the philosophy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And users of the ability. And presumably individuals who had to study underneath literally whoever the real Hermes Is. Yeah, but this is where we get the problem, right? Because we have the God Hermes, but that's just a person that happens to share the name. Because fake Hermes Trismegistus. The legend is just narratives of these two people overlaying over that guy's name. There's God Hermes, and then there's Hermes Termismegistus, the guy. And then there's the legendary figure Hermes Trimagestas, who has the name of the real guy and the characteristics of the two gods that spun out of control because the real guy was so impressive, but also a complete mystery. So you had to slap information on him because he has to exist in these shadows.

Cristina: Okay. So confusing. But the God version of him, it's not him.

Jack: It's unrelated to him, I hope, because this makes sense. He's not mentioned in any context. And the guy that is there is Apollo, not Hermes.

Cristina: Where's Hermes the God from?

Jack: He's part of the researchers.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: This is background noise from that group. Not even impressive.

Cristina: Okay. There's no way he could be the same guy. I don't know.

Jack: Nah. Is this a name? These are just people and they're allowed to have names. And sometimes names are.

Cristina: Because he has the whole name or just his first name?

Jack: No, he says first name.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Okay. Thought he was also calling himself Hermes.

Jack: No, he just has the first name, Trismeguessis. The only people sharing that entire name are Enoch, Noah, the Egyptian priest king. Whoever was going by it at that moment in Alexander the Great's life next to Aristotle. And people we don't know are using the name, but might be because they fit the visual descriptions. The locations and the abilities would be St. Patrick and St. Nicholas, but they.

Cristina: Were not calling themselves Hermes, as far as we know.

Jack: But they fit the look. Which means if you were trying to disappear, you would go by one name, and if you're trying to be visible, you'd go by the other, which fits. Every time they're going by Hermes, we just think we're hearing about Hermes. Who knows how many of those times we were just talking about one of them doing something.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because there's no way to know when who is what. Because they all go by Hermes and they all can do the same things.

Cristina: That's complicated.

Jack: And they can show up through different time. They can all bend time so they can all pop up at different points in time. There's no linearity to them.

Cristina: Can her memes mess with time? I mean, yes. The prophecies are.

Jack: Yes. And necromancers the prophecies line up with time bending. Yeah, yeah, that s***'s clean across. Like they're obviously seeing some as they're with time. And then they tell us about it.

Cristina: Yeah, okay.

Jack: That just answers each other. That's why they're accurate about it. It's not. They got powers. They're using science. They figured out the problem of time travel. Yeah. It's all science. There's no abilities. There's no magic. All of this is written down. And they just follow the steps to get it done. That's all it is. It's all just science.

Cristina: And he. I don't know if we proved anything.

Jack: I don't know if we proved anything either. I just know that the guy who is. We know. Most likely. But here's the other problem. Right. Because Enoch predates the dude in that building by quite a while.

Cristina: How does that make it make sense?

Jack: So the guy. The first guy isn't the guy in that building.

Cristina: But how do we know?

Jack: Because. I don't know. Because also we know that at least the other two people are ageless.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: So potentially it could have been the same guy the whole time.

Cristina: The same guy. I think so. That makes a lot of sense.

Jack: It makes a lot of sense. All. All jokes aside. Yeah.

Cristina: With the whole philosopher's stone thing, like. Yeah, yeah. He. He should have the ability to live forever. That's what he wants to do.

Jack: So you think it's just the same guy.

Cristina: I think.

Jack: And that it's not a bunch of people using his name.

Cristina: No, I think it's the same guy.

Jack: I think it's the same guy who has just been doing this one individual. And we. It is. That guy is here.

Cristina: Yeah. That's like before he decides to teach people what he's learned of becoming a. What's. What is he again?

Jack: What do you mean? Before he decides when.

Cristina: Before he decides to become a necromancer or not a necromancer. Before he decides to teach necromancer is before being just the prophet. Being known as a prophet. Before the school, he was just a dude.

Jack: He was just a dude. Fair enough. But these other individuals are known as prophets and they go by that name. That's the other problem. They literally go by that name.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's where the issue begins. So you bare minimum, have people going by his name if they're not him. Even if they're not him. Or. Or is the same guy. And instead what we're talking about isn't these guys going by Hermes. We're talking Hermes Goes by these names.

Cristina: Just like Jesus.

Jack: Just like Jesus.

Cristina: Yeah, I think so. I think that makes a lot of sense. I think that makes a lot of sense.

Jack: Yeah, fair enough. It could totally be.

Cristina: I mean, there's no proof, but.

Jack: There's no proof. But then the question is, should we be re evaluating the name Eloi and consider that there is in fact an individual named Eloi and many different names that individual went by, and thus. Yes, Yahweh and Elohim. And all these individuals are the same guy.

Cristina: I don't know about that. Unless we find out he's a necromancer.

Jack: Yeah, it could just 100 be a title in their case. And because necromancy seems to be the only way to have this ability, and being from the shadow realm, I suppose there doesn't seem to be consistency there.

Cristina: Yeah, but we don't know who the first person to make the Philosopher's stone, do we?

Jack: Galdabaoth seems to be as far as.

Cristina: We trapped back, but. So then it's possible that. What's the name of the guy you were just talking about?

Jack: Hermes?

Cristina: No, not Hermes. The God person, Jehovah. No, the one with the name Eloi. Eloi, yeah, See, the first one.

Jack: Yeah, yeah.

Cristina: Maybe he got the Philosopher's Stone from the other guy. The Shadow realm guy.

Jack: No, because that guy disappeared.

Cristina: But before he disappeared, he had the stone. He knows this person. He thought he was. Interesting.

Jack: No, we literally can trace the steps he took to make it. We know how he made the Philosopher's Stones. Who went through that step by step.

Cristina: And he wasn't there.

Jack: No, he did it with Citizen after Yalda had already disappeared. Okay, he did it by going to the forest.

Cristina: He did do it.

Jack: He did do it. But he didn't do it with Yalda Bow.

Cristina: No, but he got a stone.

Jack: He made a stone somehow with the use of a bunch of primitive creatures, primitive apes.

Cristina: And so he can still. He could have a stone.

Jack: Those are the two stones of Adam and Eve?

Cristina: Yeah. No, I mean like one personal stone, like all the other ones.

Jack: Those would be the stones of Adam and Eve.

Cristina: Oh, I don't think. I don't know. Because these other guys don't have it. Seems like Adam and Eve are being used for certain things. They're not just on you 247 to keep you alive forever.

Jack: Why aren't both true?

Cristina: I don't know. Just doesn't seem like it.

Jack: Why can't both be the case?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Why can't it just be on you all the time for science.

Cristina: Because then how did. What's her. That girl wouldn't have been able to do what she did.

Jack: Yeah. And think about what happened when she did it sounds more like what you touch something that doesn't belong to you.

Cristina: But if it was on him, like how did she do that?

Jack: You think these guys slept with it on them type of s***?

Cristina: Yes. I feel like it's something you don't like. The unicorn thing. It's supposed to protect you. It's supposed to keep you alive forever. I mean, I know that one didn't because it's kind of a bad luck.

Jack: Well, no. Situation. Let's think about it. Let's think about it. Weirdly enough. And like, I don't like to give credit to Harry Potter in any manner, shape or form because that s***'s whack. But let's talk about how. How deep the research that she never discussed is because we f****** uncovered. Hella crap to just find out that this one dude who had the stone, everything turned the s*** around him and he actually managed to live through all of it until they actually managed to remove it from his grip and then he dies.

Cristina: You mean the horn?

Jack: I mean the horn. Yeah. My bad.

Cristina: Yeah, the horn.

Jack: The horn.

Cristina: Everyone around him who had a piece of the horn end up dying.

Jack: So like they are actually fine while they have a piece of it. It's kind of like if you came in contact with it, don't ever let it go.

Cristina: Hey. Or then you immediately die. So I feel like.

Jack: Well, listen to what I'm saying before you continue your point.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: This lady who wrote Harry Potter also found this because the point of Voldemort is that he's always at the verge of death, but never actually dying until he stops taking it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which is on point with quite hard to find information. So bravo. To the level of homework she had to do for the stupid background noise. For a random explanation to some other.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: What are you gonna say?

Cristina: I don't know. But yes, it's. That's on point.

Jack: Yes, for sure. For sure. So your stance on this is ultimately that this is an individual with one name which fits and he goes by many different names. Jesus.

Cristina: Does it possibly. See?

Jack: And he is successfully. Because as far as we know, Nicholas and Patrick both have achieved some version of immortality. And Merlin was killed by a weapon designed to kill specifically whatever the h*** he was.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So immortality out the window. I think you could still be offed by somebody. I think you just don't die of old age. When we Talk about immortality. I think that's what we mean.

Cristina: Yes, but fairy weapon can definitely soak out anything.

Jack: Well, that fairy weapon isn't what killed Merlin. The fairy weapon is what the fairy tricked.

Cristina: Oh, yeah, he traded him. Okay, he traded him with some other.

Jack: Thing she twisted that story and outsmarted the h*** out of. But you made somebody too gullible. The point was he could be controlled.

Cristina: Yeah. So you think he killed him with a normal weapon or.

Jack: No, he killed him with the weapon the fairy made. The fairy gave him a special weapon that could off, apparently a necromancer.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So bare minimum, at least fairies know how to do that and they can just look at the programming and figure it out.

Cristina: Okay, interesting.

Jack: So, yeah, this is where we are, I'm assuming. Yes. Hermes, whatever the case might be, whether it's the problem is the guy in that building feels like the right guy. Yes, that's the problem. And if he is, then you're what's the problem 3,000 years after Enoch, who is also a guy going by that very same name, him. So one of two answers would happen. One, there is an actual teacher predating Enoch and there's a line of people teaching.

Cristina: Yes, I guess. Yeah, yeah.

Jack: Or. And like the teacher's name is all but like the master. I'm master this. Well, Hermes Trismegistus is equivalent to master. Yes, Thrice great. That's not a name, bro, but it's a title for sure.

Cristina: Yeah. So he's not the first.

Jack: Or he literally is the same guy who taught. I mean, not even taught. The one guy is the same guy and maybe that would make him the master. That makes him the master. He is Enoch. He is Noah. He is the Egyptian priest king. He is Hermes Trismegistus. They are all Hermes, just witnesses.

Cristina: Is it.

Jack: Is it possible in these instances? Keep in mind, I'll give you two bits of information that are probably important. I suppose that is the most popular considered order of those things. And I am not the first person to conclude this one little piece. I am the first person to attach all the other s*** to it. But it is again, it was quite easy because it's well known that Enoch, Noah and the Egyptian priest king all went by that name. Within these texts, as philosophers impact them, they believe they were all just variations of the same person stories being told at different moments. Okay, yeah, but it might literally have just been the same guy. As opposed to a narrative that just took name and different. No, it might literally be the same guy. Because we can follow literally the steps that Jesus took doing the same.

Cristina: Yes, yes.

Jack: I could trace every country he went to, the name he assumed there. They described them down to the T as the same guy. The timeline up, the location lined up in the trip he was going. And it fits what this guy's doing.

Cristina: So, yeah, I think.

Jack: Which is going by aliases and setting up little systems that you can enter in and out.

Cristina: But they just think it's all based on.

Jack: They think these are fiction. They think these are fictional characters based on a guy. Well, it can be, but we know that this guy was a real guy. And even now we know that the Hermes Trismegistus is agreed upon was a real guy. And that there's a conflation between a real dude and a fake dude. Dude that's just established.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And that the fake dude is most likely a connection of these other two. My argument would be that the fake dude is actually also the real dude and that all of these people are the one guy.

Cristina: Okay. Yeah.

Jack: So they're like, oh, he's like this God and that God and this. Because he could on both of those gods. And there's just people trying to rationalize. Dude just like, well, those guys are way op. And these guys are way op. The Egyptian gods. And here. What is it? The sun gods and the Greek gods. Oh, both of them are op. So he's like, if use two of them all. That's how overpowered he is.

Cristina: It was pretty overpowerful, I guess.

Jack: Yeah, exactly. He's still like, nah, I can on all of it. There's just them trying to rationalize. Hence this connection between them creating the mythical individual that supersedes the individual with the actual abilities, which is still. Because he could on the fictional one.

Cristina: Well, he could.

Jack: All the abilities of a necromancer seem to be way more overpowered than anything else.

Cristina: One thing we haven't really talked about is how would he like, if he's the necromancer, he has to do something with fairies and shadow.

Jack: He just has to be able to cross easily. But something to figure out a different time because we are way out of time.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Okay, so just run another time. But we're at least so close. I believe this is the guy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And if all those names are the same dude, then we found him.

Cristina: If we can see if we can revisit those stories and see if the shadow realm or fairies are somehow involved in the stories, even just like a little bit. I don't know, because I feel like you have to have that knowledge to be teaching.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: So maybe there is some story there.

Jack: What, of him? I doubt we would have his knowledge.

Cristina: No, not him, but these other versions of him. His.

Jack: He wouldn't have to record these things anymore because he is the teacher. He already knows it.

Cristina: I'm saying, like the stories of Enoch or Moses.

Jack: Interesting. So, yeah, I see what you mean. So the people we do know, the different aliases is going by before he's. Because these are in fact stories. You're trying to see what these events connect to that fit. Well, how do you know he's not a teacher at that point?

Cristina: Point. Well, we will.

Jack: Enoch is literally a teacher.

Cristina: Oh, okay. He's a teacher too.

Jack: Is literally a teacher.

Cristina: Oh. Oh.

Jack: But regardless of the point, your point stands because it's not that this is before him being a teacher. It's these are stories of names he went by. Which means within those stories, within depth and within context, we could uncover the right things.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: If we go in assuming this is actually him, how do we prove it? With this information.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Then that s*** just starts to make sense. A quick mention of. Oh, and I went to the dark place where the other things were. And it's like brawl.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah. Like something. Or even if it relates to somehow. Not necromancy, but.

Jack: Oh, yes, the philosopher.

Cristina: Very interesting.

Jack: Although literally being named after the philosopher's stone is kind of the home run here. I don't know what else we would need.

Cristina: But, like, if there's anything but these, we know their steps. And what if there's missing steps? And what if they lead us to those steps?

Jack: There's missing steps. What if we learn how to make a. D***, that's crazy.

Cristina: Yeah. Because I feel like we're just piecing. Like, we thought once that step was the step, and that was.

Jack: There were four steps, and we're like, this is it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And now we found three more steps that connect to the end. We're like. And it makes so much sense that those steps are there.

Cristina: So there's probably more.

Jack: There could be more. Anyways. Anyways, anybody who's listening to this, if you have additional information, please hit us up with it and tell us all that stuff. Communicate it with us. Hit us up on our socials at just Convopod on X, on Instagram, on Facebook, on. What else is there on Tick Tock. Tick Tock. Where all the place. YouTube. We're getting pulled there all the time because we're crazy. Crazy.

Cristina: Yes. And remember to subscribe, rate and review the show.

Jack: Yes. And word of mouth is extremely powerful. Tell people that we're uncovering the truthiest truths of them all.

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

+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 and childish ways. I'm your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

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

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

Jack: Yes. So shut up and listen with somebody else.

Cristina: Why do they have to shut up? They could talk with us.

Jack: Yeah, we don't have to listen to them talk.

Cristina: Yeah, we're not listening to them.

Jack: And actually it would make sense if they're having to. They're bringing somebody else to have discussions with and then they're just shutting up and listening. But you know what? Go find somebody to have discussions with about the show and shut the f*** up while you listen.

Cristina: Yes. I don't know. They could talk while they listen to the show and then realize they didn't listen to the show and then have to re. Listen to the show.

Jack: This is why you got to download the show. So you can just, like, have it with you as you continue to talk to people and realize you're missing the show as you're talking to people about the show you're missing.

Cristina: So you gotta give the episode, like, three listens just to get the full picture.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the best way to do it.

Cristina: Yes. That's the right way.

Jack: It's recommended you shut the f*** up to grasp it. But. But also, you can't talk with somebody if you shut the f*** up. So you should make a combination of shutting the f*** up and listening and also having conversations. Yeah, you could do it in either order. At least give it two listens. One should be completely silent. The other should be with conversation.

Cristina: Both should be with two people.

Jack: Both should be with two people.

Cristina: Or more.

Jack: Or more.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: The minimum is two people.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jack: Why you're quietly sitting next to somebody else to listen. I don't know. But you're gonna do it?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because the children. And cancer.

Cristina: And cancer. That's a lot of cancer.

Jack: That's a lot of cancer.

Cristina: I feel like maybe we should stick to two now that I'm thinking about it. Like, if it's more than two, then everyone's listening through the one device and that means we're getting less plays. Although they are replaying it, but it Would still be better if it's just.

Jack: So only two. It's the minimum and the maximum.

Cristina: Yes, now it is.

Jack: The rule is no more, no less.

Cristina: No. If there's a third person in the room, they gotta listen. No, they can listen to it on their own device.

Jack: Fair enough. Fair enough. They have to listen on a separate thing. Yes, it is illegal. I will pass this law. We will get the President to pass this law so that people are obligated to listen in pairs of two. And if they don't, because all our technology is spying on us, they will know and you will go to jail.

Cristina: The President is gonna stop everyone in the world though.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Because.

Jack: Yes. With the power of friendship.

Cristina: With the power of friendship.

Jack: He's gonna go and be sleepy on them and you're gonna be like, oh, you know what? Pass the law.

Cristina: Sleepy.

Jack: Sleepy Joe.

Cristina: That's horrible. That's a horrible nickname.

Jack: I know, but it sticks, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I've heard so many people. I've heard people on the left call him Sleepy Joe.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah, it's ridiculous. It's just super stuck. Trump won. Like, let's be real.

Cristina: Trump won. That nickname?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Oh, wow.

Jack: Trump won, bro.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He wanted everything and he sucks all at the same time. He's awesome. He's like a weird monster that can't be beat.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: It's crazy. He's like the super boss and we lost the first fight.

Cristina: Oh. So there has to be another fight.

Jack: There's going to be. He's going to run again. Oh, 2024 Trump.

Cristina: 2024.

Jack: 2024. Some Trump.

Cristina: Exciting.

Jack: It's going to be crazy.

Cristina: And then he's going to try to run again after winning.

Jack: Yeah, he's gonna try to win a third time and people are gonna vote for him anyways. But it's illegal to run again. But there's gonna be some sort of a coup and then like a Star Destroyer is gonna show up and a bunch of ships are gonna fly out of it from the space forest. Yeah.

Cristina: Space warriors. Yeah.

Jack: And that's when we're gonna start shooting from the ground up. And he's gonna board one of the Star Destroyers and go to planet Trump that he has been building. It's a giant like fake looking moon thing.

Cristina: Is that his Space Force is doing all of that?

Jack: Well, actually no Space Force is probably coming in contact with the rabbit people. Or is it called the Claridians or some s*** like that?

Cristina: Yes, that's what you named that. How do you remember that? It's a random word. Is that really. Did you steal that name from something, man?

Jack: Probably. I don't know.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I don't know. It's. I don't know why I remember anything. I don't know where I learn anything I remember. I don't know why I have memory of the most weird, obscure ra. Random. But these Claridians. And what do you mean that I made up? This is.

Cristina: If you stole that from something that could be like a Star Trek alien.

Jack: It could totally be, but this is just conversation lure, bro. Okay, so Claridians, according to what? Rabbits are rabbit people inside of a Death Star esque thing. And Trump is gonna ride a Space Force ship. A space Force, like super mega colossal ship too.

Cristina: I forgot the star.

Jack: Just through the. The Death Star.

Cristina: Where do we get these rabbit people from? I feel like it had something to do with elephants, but are there elephant aliens too?

Jack: No, no, no. There was just a Death Star thing in space or some. They were watching us or some.

Cristina: But I don't remember. I feel like there was something that was afraid of them, though.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And. Or something was. No, they were afraid of something that was the cockroach people or something like that they were holding. They were stopping. The cockroach people were basically like Vulcan sauce.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And they were watching over Earth, waiting until we were ready to explore space.

Cristina: And they were stopping the rabid people.

Jack: They were stopping the rabid people from coming to us. Because rabbits, according to. I don't know, we. I don't know, we made it up, I guess. That rabbits are scared of cockroaches.

Cristina: No, I thought there was something about Rab. Rabbits. No. Elephants being afraid of rabbits.

Jack: No. You wanted elephants to be what? Scared of cockroaches.

Cristina: Oh, that's what it was.

Jack: Yes, but there's no reason they would be. So we established that rabbits are what's in the Death Star esque ship that was being held at bay. But the moment we destroyed Mars and the cockroach people dispersed across the galaxy and were no longer centralized, the rabbit people in the Death Star started coming our way.

Cristina: And they're working with Trump.

Jack: Yeah. Trump is going to board them and be the leader of the rabbits. And this is all fact. You can read it in government documents.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: This was part of his Space Force plan. So if you want to read more on this, go to spaceforce.org and you will see that I am talking truth. But wait until the episode is over and you've forgotten all about this.

Cristina: Yes, yes. Do it later.

Jack: Yeah, do it Much later. Anyways, as our listeners, shut the f*** up and listen. According to the law that Trump will pass when he becomes a king. Sleepy Joe. You're right, you're right, you're right. And that's why Trump is gonna go to war in the first place. Because he wants to beat Sleepy Joe. But he's gonna be too sleepy. And Trump is gonna swing as Sleepy Joe droops asleep and he's gonna miss his head and Trump is gonna spin all cartoony and get dizzy himself and it's gonna be like in Pokemon where they do conf. Pokemon is all confused.

Cristina: So he's going to confuse himself.

Jack: Yeah, he's going to confuse himself and then he's going to fall over. Cuz he has no balance, which we saw because he can't go up or down a plane successfully. Yes, he like wobbles and he wibbles and wobbles, but he hasn't yet fallen down.

Cristina: But this time he won't.

Jack: But he will fall down because he's going to be dizzy too. Other than just wibbling and wobbling. So as he swings to hit Sleepy Joe during their epic battle on top of like a building. The White House fire. Yes, the White House on fire is on fire.

Cristina: What?

Jack: And it's Sleepy Joe versus Trump on top of the White House. And it's the last epic battle and Trump with his lack of.

Cristina: Do you know why the White House is on fire?

Jack: Trump said it had Trump supporter set it on fire.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And then Trump swings and he. Sleepy Joe just falls asleep at that moment. Like, like, like Jigglypuff trying to put him to sleep. You ever stare an animal and like you close your eyes like you're getting sleepy and the animal starts getting sleepy? Yeah, it's like a weird hypnosis you could do on an animal that say that's a trick. Sleepy Joe's pull. That's where he got the name Sleepy Joe.

Cristina: Cuz he puts people.

Jack: He puts people to sleep. It's a trick he learned. He's using psychology, bro. He pretends he's old and incoherent, but nah, it's a trick. It's government mind control.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: To the public, dude, he's falling asleep in front of the world. And the world is falling asleep in front of their screens. What?

Cristina: So he can. When they're not looking, they're looking. Okay. Yeah, that's cool.

Jack: Yeah. So in this epic battle on top of a burning White House, Trump swings totally uncoordinated. He probably would have missed anyways, but he swings, and Sleepy Joe falls asleep at that moment, drooping to the side like Matrix style, dodging the super slow, easily dodgeable punch of Trump. And Trump spins, and now he's dizzy, and he wibbles and wobbles and actually falls down this time.

Cristina: Does he also fall asleep?

Jack: I. I guess maybe. Well, he's. He only falls asleep in front of a tv, so not really.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: So. Which is ironic because that's exactly how Sleepy Joe's putting everybody to sleep.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So chances are it's super effective. It's like hitting a water Pokemon with lightning. And it's like. Yeah. Whenever this dude's at. Well, no, When Trump's at home.

Cristina: Oh. When Trump's at home while watching tv.

Jack: Turns on tv, he's just knocked the f*** out. It's critical hit. Super effective.

Cristina: Okay, so he falls off the White.

Jack: House, though, asleep, into a fiery pit of the White House, but Sleepy Joe's asleep, and he burns to death, too. And then we have an anarchistic country that happens to. Functions to. To our surprise, way better. And then peace is established in the United States, and then the rest of the world realizes we should have probably been in an anarchistic state where people make rules amongst each other. And then if somebody is just killing for no reason or abusing people.

Cristina: This is the future you're talking about. When Trump wins again or when Joe Biden is running again or what? Where is this taking place? Is it taking place right now? Did it already take place?

Jack: This is taking place in 2024.

Cristina: 2024.

Jack: Yeah, after. @ the last couple of minutes of the. Of the presidential race.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: But neither of them can run again, can they?

Jack: They're both going to be dead, right? They die at the end of this.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: They both fall into a fiery White House that was set ablaze by the Trump supporters on their second run at the White House, the insurrection.

Cristina: So can someone else just take the. No, no, no.

Jack: This is the end of presidency because all the Trump supporters only believe Trump could be president, and all the sleepy Joe supporters believe you need to go to. And those are the only two ways to run a country. You're either sleeping or supporting Trump.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah. Which is weird, because exactly this happens where people are like, wake up, sheeple. Who follow Trump, saying that the people follow Trump. Wake up, sheeple. You're following the wrong. You're being brainwashed. Which is kind of true, because a lot of politicians just kind of push it under the rug. Not to say Trump was trying to liberate anybody.

Cristina: Because he was just the people that are sleeping because Sleepy Joe, aren't they the woke people?

Jack: Well, no, that's the weirdest part. The woke people are kind of the ones asleep. Yeah.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now, I'm not saying Trump was trying to wake anybody up. He's just an idiot who can't shut the f*** up. But as a result of not being able to shut the f*** up, he keeps informing people of what the truth is.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: While the people who were being lied to by the left are being lied to the way politicians have always lied.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: They're just like, throw it under the rug. Like, still to this day, nobody understands vaccines.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Because propaganda.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: By the left.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Nobody understands vaccines. Obviously. The right is also stupid. It's poisoning you, you f****** idiot. You don't know how s*** works. But the left is also really dumb. Everybody. I got a vaccine to protect my daughter. From what? If you catch it, you'll still pass it. From what? What are you. You couldn't. You've been convinced that if you take the vaccine, you can't get it, you can't get it. And if you somehow. If me. If you still believe you can get it for whatever reason, you can't pass it. It's. It's very confusing. People are idiots.

Cristina: If you get it, you can't pass it. That's what they think.

Jack: If he believes he can still get it, then he believes he can't pass it. Or he believes he can't get it because he got vaccinated. Either. Or he believes one of those two things is happening. I got vaccinated, so I can't catch it. Or if I catch it, I can't pass it because he's protecting his daughter. I got my vaccine to protect my daughter.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's like, from what? What the f***? The rapists outside is the vaccine keeping them away? I don't get what you're protecting them from.

Cristina: You don't know that.

Jack: I mean, I guess it could be. It's the same way toilet paper protects against corona.

Cristina: Exactly. Like, doesn't really need to make sense. It just has to sound right.

Jack: It just has to sound right. And this is all propaganda, man. It's crazy. People don't know s***. The woke people are, tragically, the ones following Trump and the people who are calling themselves woke, or tragically, the ones the most asleep. Not to say that the ones following Trump are really woke. It's just compared to the ones following anything else, essentially. Like, if you're on a political team and it's not Trump. You're more asleep than if you're following Trump. But you're not, like, fully woke if you're following Trump, because Trump's also just a troll.

Cristina: Anyone awake?

Jack: No, nobody's fully awake.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because Trump's not out to help you. No, he's out for.

Cristina: Is he awake?

Jack: He's. He. H*** yeah. Trump knows, bro. And he knows of his followers are morons that will follow anything he says and believe whatever the h***. He's fully aware of that, and he abuses that fact. Trump followers are dumb, bro. They're stupid, bro. But, like, Miles, we're talking s***. You could prove yourself in your kitchen with just random s*** at random times of day. You don't even need to, like, you don't need a list of it. You can just prove things that he has spewed and prove them wrong. But they're more right than the other side, which is where the problem is. Because they can be like, but you're wrong. And it's like, okay, you're right about that, but you're not right. You're just right about them being wrong. What?

Cristina: Wait, what?

Jack: The Trump followers are right in calling the left wrong. Okay, but they themselves aren't right. But they think that because they can prove the other side is wrong. They have proven that they're right. No, you've proven that they're wrong.

Cristina: Okay, then who's right?

Jack: Nobody, because you're following a bunch of politicians who are out for themselves and pinning you against each other so that they can manipulate change the laws around you to milk you for your money.

Cristina: Who can people trust, though?

Jack: Me.

Cristina: You?

Jack: I will literally just blow up the rabbit, people.

Cristina: The rabbit You. Oh, my gosh.

Jack: And then our problem is solved because they're coming to attack us.

Cristina: How do we know that?

Jack: We don't. But let's assume they are to protect ourselves. Because if we don't assume they are.

Cristina: That'S what we did with them.

Jack: If we don't assume they're coming to kill us and they come to this planet and they befriend us, and then they flip overnight order 66 us, then. Then what do we do? We didn't see it coming.

Cristina: 66 US?

Jack: Yeah, it's a Star wars order that was given to the clones that flipped them and they killed all the Jedi.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah, they order 66 us because their leader gave the orders time to dispose of the humans and they could build a f****** like Death Star. Come on. We're not winning, so we gotta stop them before they get Here. Are they coming to kill us? I can't tell you for sure, but do we want to find out if they're coming here to kill us?

Cristina: Maybe.

Jack: I mean, it's real.

Cristina: It's real.

Jack: It's real. Like, maybe we just need to let it happen.

Cristina: What if that's the solution?

Jack: Just the rest of the universe is at peace after that?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: No more humans. Universe at peace.

Cristina: Yeah. Like, what if every. Like there's mad crap happening around us because we exist?

Jack: Yeah, it could totally be. Chances are the 90,000 satellites that we've put into space is f****** something up.

Cristina: Yeah. What if one of them turned alive and it's like. It's a robot destroying a world in some other.

Jack: It's totally possible. Look, a bunch of crash together.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Some sort of sentient thinking satellite.

Cristina: What if that happens?

Jack: And then we keep sending technology that keeps getting destroyed out here, and it just sends signals that reanimates it. And he builds an army of a bunch of different machines that slowly then start to form a sort of hive mentality. Eventually, some other race lands on the. Hey, there's some technologies on here. Let's go see it. And the machine attacks them and then merges with their body. And now they have a physical being with rocket technology already prepared because they landed there. And they use that rocket technology to leave and go land on some other planet where there's an entire civilization. And they, hey, look at this cool cyborg thing that came to visit us. And it's like, yes, I'm a cool cyborg. I came to visit you in the middle of the night. Just starts turning people into robots before you know it.

Cristina: Exactly. Oh, what if we started the Borg without even knowing?

Jack: I mean, the Borg were human.

Cristina: The original one.

Jack: I believe so. I think they were human to begin with. And there's something about time travel or some crap like that that is really complicated.

Cristina: What? So, yeah, okay.

Jack: We could have started the Borg.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Also, that theory that f******. Oh, my God. That's never going to leave my mind.

Cristina: The Terminator.

Jack: The Terminator came back in time to stop Connor because Connor in the future is Neo. Get the f*** out of here.

Cristina: That's crazy. Yeah. What if we made that though somewhere else?

Jack: Yeah, man. It's totally possible. It's totally possible.

Cristina: We don't know what we're doing.

Jack: We don't.

Cristina: That's why those rabbits are coming here.

Jack: Look, it's possible. We don't know. But also, like, I like awareness.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So it's like, we might be the problem. But also I like awareness.

Cristina: Yeah. So let's live and then after we're dead though the world.

Jack: No, no, no. We stopped them from coming here. For whatever reason they're coming here. In fact, we don't just stop them from coming here. I'm not really just. I'm over just murdering people. We have no cockroach people on Mars that we can question and study.

Cristina: We have your wife.

Jack: Yeah, but I'm not gonna do that to her. Okay, that's a problem. You know, so rather than just blowing up a problem. Fair enough. We're surprised we're gonna blow up, but we're gonna send a team over there to kidnap an entire few families of these rabbit. Yeah. So we can torture them primarily and also maybe question them. If we're torturing them, we're already at it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Might as well get some questions.

Cristina: Maybe the questions first and then the torture. I don't know, I don't know how it works. I mean, combo of both.

Jack: I mean, if we want to learn about them, I guess we can question them primarily. Just torture them would be cool.

Cristina: But I don't know, we should confuse them. Like I'm sure they'll be confused, give them presents randomly. Oh, I like that. I don't know those part of the torture.

Jack: And also we should test to see how similar to earth rabbits they are. Are Earth rabbits? Is Earth just a giant TV show like in South Park?

Cristina: Yes. Where's zoo?

Jack: Where just a bunch of random s*** was put. And it's like, let's see how it works out. But it's like there were sentient f****** like fully aware, conscious, technologically advanced rabbits. We know it. They're coming our way. So are they related?

Cristina: Are they on the moon? Where are these robots?

Jack: No, I mean rabbits on a Death Star.

Cristina: On a Death Star somehow related to Trump. You said he's on that Death Star.

Jack: No, he's gonna board a Star Destroyer and head there and then he's gonna return for the presidential election where he's gonna die in an epic battle with Sleepy Joe on top of the White House.

Cristina: But his army are the rabbits.

Jack: Well, his army, I guess, when he's attacking because there is gonna be an epic shoot shooting battle where we're shooting up and they're shooting down and like stuff is gonna, is gonna go down or maybe they win. We don't want to find out. Okay, we're gonna change history.

Cristina: Is he secretly a rabbit? Like how does he communicate with them?

Jack: They probably have, they have a Death Star. I'm sure they have A translator.

Cristina: Okay, what does he have? Oh, he has the horse, Space Force. But that's being still run by him.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's still run by him. Nobody runs Space Force but Trump. That's where he's hiding right now, at.

Cristina: Space Force headquarters with them at this moment to take over.

Jack: The Star Destroyer is being built so he could board it and fly up to the Death Star.

Cristina: All right.

Jack: And then join them in their attack of Earth.

Cristina: So we gotta stop them before that happens.

Jack: Before that happens.

Cristina: I don't know, but that sounds really epic.

Jack: Sounds cool, right?

Cristina: Yes. The giant white house thing. Like, couldn't we just wait and watch that and then have some kind of plan to stop it at that moment?

Jack: Look, if we did watch that.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We need to hire a film crew to capture it in the greatest lighting from the best angles so that later we can play this to the public and wake them up to the fact that there was an epic fight.

Cristina: I don't know if we should do that. I feel like that's how our. We will die and get clones.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: I don't know. Are we supposed to be. I don't know. What?

Jack: We don't work for the government.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: We expose the government.

Cristina: Yes. Okay. It's a very confusing job. I don't know what we can say.

Jack: Do nothing bad about the Illuminati because they are great.

Cristina: Okay. That's it.

Jack: Everybody else sucks and lies to the people. The Illuminati tells them the truth when.

Cristina: The government works for the Illuminati. Was Trump works for the Illuminati?

Jack: No. It doesn't matter because we're not talking s*** about the Illuminati. Trump is clearly correct.

Cristina: Name is out of the table.

Jack: But anyone else out of the table.

Cristina: Who could be related to them and Jesus, maybe.

Jack: We're not sure. We haven't been killed yet.

Cristina: And Jesus.

Jack: We talked a lot of s*** about Jesus. We haven't died yet.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So I think we might have touched something wrong when we were like, is Jesus Lucifer? And does Lucifer run the government or the Illuminati?

Cristina: Whatever. Yeah.

Jack: And it's like, okay, maybe we got a little close to fire there. But I don't know if that's accurate because nothing has happened to us.

Cristina: Yes. Okay.

Jack: Like, our. Our boss is probably Lucifer.

Cristina: Maybe.

Jack: Like, probably. Probably.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: But is he Jesus? Well, we've talked a lot of s*** about Jesus, and we know the boss of the Illuminati will just get rid of us.

Jack: So it's probably Just Lucifer. Probably work for the devil.

Cristina: I don't know. Or it could be a robot. I don't know. Yeah, like, it could be any. It could be a rabbit person for all we know.

Jack: He could. That's the craziest f****** plot twist. It could totally be.

Cristina: It could be anything.

Jack: It could totally be rabbit.

Cristina: Could have been a roach person. But I feel like we'd be dead now if it was a roach person.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: Or maybe that's why one of our clones died was because it was the roach people and they didn't like what we did because we were involved in that roach war that I did not want to be a part of.

Jack: Well, no, because we specifically died for talking s***. The very next time is when those clones were gotten rid of.

Cristina: Mmm. Okay, so it's not the roach people. Okay.

Jack: I mean, it could be the roach people, but it wasn't because of what happened to the roach people. Because then we would have died immediately after what happened to the roach people.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which wasn't the case.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It could be a rabbit person as well. But, like, what the f*** are they on their way for then? There's already running the show.

Cristina: Okay, so what are we gonna do? We're gonna let them come here? We're gonna stop them before.

Jack: I mean, I like the idea of recording the epic battle.

Cristina: Well, we still had to find God. Well, that happens before that because that's in 2001.

Jack: 2004.

Cristina: 24. So, yeah. Yeah, we got a while for that.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, we got a regular head groundhog that we already got, you know, hoping to see how that goes. My throat's healing up. I can talk.

Cristina: Yeah. So we're gonna meet God before that.

Jack: Yeah, we're meeting God way before Trump runs again. And there's an epic space battle for Earth and the White House between Sleepy Joe and Donald Trump.

Cristina: Yeah, that's pretty cool.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cristina: I don't know which part is cooler, but it's happening. Maybe God will watch the fight with us.

Jack: Maybe God knows the right connect to have the best film crew record this.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: Maybe you can just talk to Colin Bressler.

Cristina: Colin?

Jack: Oh, yeah.

Cristina: He could help us get him to come back.

Jack: And it's like, colin, this is your day, bro. We need you to record Donald Trump and Sleepy Joe fighting to the death.

Cristina: Atop of a flaming white house.

Jack: A flaming white house? Yeah.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Which was set ablaze by the Trump supporters on the second Insurrection.

Cristina: And then somehow the Death Star is coming.

Jack: Yes, that's where Trump is on. He's gonna Be on the Death Star by that point.

Cristina: Oh, he comes down through the Death Star. The Death Star doesn't do anything. It just.

Jack: It's gonna be shooting at Earth with laser. With lasers and stuff. And then all the weird laser weapons that we didn't know Earth had are suddenly gonna, like, random holes on the floor gonna open, and, like, up is gonna come giant laser weapons.

Cristina: How do we have laser weapons in the pyramids? Why do we need random.

Jack: It's not a laser weapon. It's a transportation device.

Cristina: I thought it was both.

Jack: I mean, I guess configure it for that. That was just a theory. The conclusion was it's a transporter.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: It's a teleport across the universe.

Cristina: I thought it was one and then became the other. I don't know.

Jack: That's how the cat people got to the great void.

Cristina: Oh, so we have to find lasers.

Jack: Yeah. And the whole point of getting God is to get to the cat people. So we got a lot of people. There's cat people, there's rabbit people, there's cockroach people, there's reptile people and.

Cristina: No elephant people.

Jack: No elephant people. The flip side, the interesting part about this is that talking back about the groundhog known as God, we suspect that he is in the shadow realm.

Cristina: The shadow who? Oh, the beaver. Okay, groundhog. I mean, groundhog.

Jack: The groundhog known as God is in the shadow realm. And we were talking about how similar some of this stuff sounded to Shinto that also has, like, spirits from this other side and some similar behaviors we've noticed. And the shadow realm and crap like that. And I.

Cristina: You mentioned Shinto and something else. Or you found out that the other thing was. Was actually just Shinto.

Jack: What was the other thing?

Cristina: I don't know. You were con. You thought there was two things.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It turned out just to be Shinto, but. So I went down the Shinto rabbit hole.

Cristina: Rabbit hole. Okay.

Jack: I went down the Shinto rab.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And isn't it weird? There's just like a bunch of supernatural ghostly things and a bunch of sciency s*** that happens around us all the time that the rest of the world doesn't even know happens.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: What a weird reality that we exist in.

Cristina: So what's happening in the Shinto rabbit hole?

Jack: So the Shinto rabbit hole we. So I jumped in, I looked at. I did a bunch of extensive research about Shinto to see how accurate we are about spirits and stuff and whether adrenochrome is there and, like, what's happening you know all these details. Okay, so let's go through a couple of things. Shinto is considered the religion of nature.

Cristina: Awesome.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Similar to Native American spiritualism, it is the only other thing considered to be purely based on nature.

Cristina: Those are the two.

Jack: Yes. And both of these two belief systems do not have scripture. That is very important. They do not have any scripture that dictates anything. So you don't have morality codes. There's no right or wrong.

Cristina: Do you have, like, stories or something?

Jack: No, there's no scriptures. Nothing.

Cristina: There's nothing.

Jack: There's nothing. People made things afterwards of personal experience, but there's no scripture.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: There is just the belief that you protect nature. Now, what's weird about this is that these two belief systems happened. One in the United States. Well, not the United States. America before the United States, in Gaia. And the other one happened in Japan.

Cristina: Very opposite.

Jack: Very like. Yeah, we're pretty far away from each other. And the belief systems are very similar. It's both of nature and the spirits of nature and how everything is alive. And you want to create harmony or nature will turn on you, but has.

Cristina: To do with spirits and stuff. Right.

Jack: This is the best way to convey. At least in Shinto. Yeah, it's the best way to convey it as spirits. While in spiritualism, Native American spiritualism, it's closer to, like, all things are consciously living at all times, even in a way we don't comprehend. But if you were to simplify it, it's ultimately the spirit of the thing. Okay, so those are, like, baseline things to think about. The spirits are called kami, at least in Japan, in the Shinto, because we're not really talking about Native American spiritualism. Visit that one day. And it focuses on the spirits that inhabit all things. So rivers, mountains, waterfalls, everything that's in nature. Yeah, the natural world, the spirits of the natural world. And a lot of the traditions that take place, take place around shrines. And shrines are usually placed next to whatever thing it is that has the spirit that you're catering to.

Cristina: Is the shrine like a gateway or it's just like a tombstone? Like.

Jack: Well, the shrine is possibly a gateway. Could be. It could also be some sort of focal point or something. So we know that we need fear. Fear to, like, sufficient amounts of fear. Summons. That's the best word associated with Shinto. Summons the creature. Right. We know that if you are scared enough, you can summon a wet judge. You can summon a. By accident. Not literally summon, but the manifest.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because they need the fear or adrenochrome. Those are the two things?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So they manifest on this side from the should they exist in the shadow realm. And the more concentrated fear there is, the more they can manifest on this side as a sort of ethereal kind of being. It looks like the shrine's purpose is ultimately something along those lines. Obviously, the teachings of Shinto don't say it that way.

Cristina: Don't include fear or blood or anything.

Jack: The shrine is where you go to worship the kamiyah and offer your offerings towards the kami. So you go there to pray, you take it food, you take it money, you do these things for the kami. Great. Fantastic. Phenomenal. But the reason that you pray to the kami and this actually goes to the priests. So there's priests that usually take care of the shrine, and the priests are usually called kanushi. The kanushi, they're praying to him? No, the people are praying to the kami.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: The priests purpose there is to maintain the shrine and also be part of the offerings and things that are given to the kami. He helps and assists with all that, maintains the shrine, keeps it clean and helps along with worship when people. When there's celebrations and stuff, when the seasons change and stuff, there's worship rituals and whatnot. But the purpose of these worships and the very specific purpose of the kami, which I found very fascinating that they chose this word selection, was to establish harmony between humans and the kami. The idea being that the kami are otherwise naturally hostile to people, which I find interesting.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And then there's a location where you can bring it things. There's a. So how the prayer goes, you bring it the offering, you ring a bell to attract its attention, you clap and then you pray. So you give it an offering. Yeah, the bell. You bring the offering first. You ring the bell to attract its attention, you clap, and then you pray. And so you've attracted its attention and the process begins. And then you pray and whatever. And so you're trying to make it happy. The commie is trying to be happy because you're trying to make it.

Cristina: But the priest is making sure that it won't like attack or something.

Jack: Yes, the priest guides the big rituals. And the priest is there consistently keeping the kami at bay or unaggressive.

Cristina: Yes, yes.

Jack: So that's very, very interesting because there is aggression there which falls perfectly in line with the creatures of the shadow realm when they manifest on our side, at least the majority of them, they manifest. And they seem aggressive.

Cristina: Yes, they do.

Jack: Which I Find interesting.

Cristina: Maybe because they're not offering the right things.

Jack: No, the offerings are to bring them down.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The offering is to calm it down. So they are creatures. Now, here's the interesting point. You come here to give it an offering to assist with calming it down. You're already assuming it needs to be calmed down. You have a tiny little bit of fear.

Cristina: Ah.

Jack: And there's a focal point where, throughout the course of the day, many people are gonna pass by that same spot.

Cristina: With enough fear building up throughout the day.

Jack: Yes. Tiny little increments, but enough people throughout the course of the day. Weeks, months. Just feeding this commie and allowing it to remain on this side.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: There is a way to summon these things intentionally.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And the shrine is the way to do it.

Cristina: And sometimes they are aggressive to people. They probably have killed people too, in stories that they've told of these things.

Jack: Yeah. 100%. It's totally possible. And, yeah, the stories do say that there are, like. Of course, there's no way to prove it, but there's also no way to disprove it.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So it seems like, yes, the shrine is a focal point, a gateway. I don't know. Because it seems like the only real way across for somebody from this side is adrenochrome.

Cristina: Yeah. And for them, who knows how they get here? Fear they have. Oh, fear.

Jack: They manifest with fear.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So a shrine allows a focal point where people continuously cross. They keep coming to the same spot with that same amount of fear. You're coming there to. Hopefully I can help in assisting the angry kami. Calms down.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And so that happens 20, 30, 40, 50 times a day.

Cristina: And it's slowly feeding on you.

Jack: And it slowly feeds on that energy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And allows it to remain on this side. While if the shrines were destroyed and people were no longer coming through, Maybe there'd be nothing.

Cristina: Maybe there'd be nothing. No, that can't. That can't be right.

Jack: It needs the fear to manifest. This was tactically placed here by somebody who was fully aware of the kami ahead of time. And allowing the kami to manifest, it's possible that the first iteration of the groundhog known as Jehovah, was through some sort of shrine. Not only that, we can argue that if people are collecting on the same field around the same hole around the same time every year.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Waiting for this groundhog is the equivalent of being around a shrine.

Cristina: I don't know if they need a shrine, though. I feel like they can come around anything, but it's just Easier to get to the trine because they know that's the spot where this food is. That will be easy for them. Because I'm pretty sure they've been attacked in other places. Like there's a lot of stories of being attacked near water.

Jack: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. You're missing the point super entirely. It's places where fear is dominant.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That is the whole point. The shrine doesn't matter.

Cristina: No.

Jack: It's the fact that people come with fear to the shrine throughout the day.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: If you remove the focal point, then there's no manifestation at the focal point. You've reduced how much percent. There's a hundred thousand shrines in Japan.

Cristina: That's crazy.

Jack: If you destroyed all hundred thousand and people just stopped coming because there's no more shrines to go to. You're not collecting the fear energy anywhere.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And thus you have less creatures from the shadow realm coming to the mortal realm.

Cristina: All right.

Jack: Now God the groundhog is doing the same thing with people collecting to tell us the weather, the seasons or whatever f*** is happening.

Cristina: Yeah. He has a specific home where he comes out of. Yes.

Jack: And it's really because there's a crap ton of people there. Now these people are already superstitious. And who are the people most likely to believe in religion?

Cristina: Superstitious.

Jack: Superstitious people. So you gather a bunch of superstitious people to follow a superstition around a place in which a person that require and they're fearing what? It's a United States. It's most likely they're fearing God. So a bunch of God fearing people come around and they're already fearing for the season. You know, season. Hopefully our crops, man. Oh my God.

Cristina: We might starve to death in winter.

Jack: Crops manifestation. Groundhog suddenly shows up. It all falls into place.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So it seems like the creator of Shinto was fully aware of the shadow realm. Not only that he was trying to merge the shadow realm with the mortal realm.

Cristina: What? He's trying to do what again?

Jack: To merge. Merge it to bring as much from over there over here. So shrines kept popping up and kept popping up as the belief was spread further. Who began spreading the belief?

Cristina: Who?

Jack: There's no way to know. I tried to find. They don't know. Nobody knows. Nobody knows where they know. It began in Japan. They don't know how long ago exactly. And they don't know how it began to spread.

Cristina: It spread outside of Japan.

Jack: It spread outside of Japan, but it began in Japan.

Cristina: Yeah. But can you find shrines outside of Japan?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: In other Parts of Asia, primarily.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: Interesting. Right? Somebody covered their tracks effectively.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So there was an attempt.

Cristina: It was Jesus. Remember he ran away to Japan after he died. He lived in a town there with his wife and children.

Jack: Interesting. That could totally be the case. And it's possible Jesus is also the one who made the. What's known now as the hole that God comes out of. But it's possible that all these things are perpetuated by the same guy.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: He was out here in different iterations, taking on different names, like some sort of outlaw on the run, pretending to be different people wherever he was so they couldn't be. So he couldn't be tracked.

Cristina: All this goes back to Jesus?

Jack: All this goes back to Jesus, I guess. That's weird.

Cristina: That's weird. But also, Jesus leads back to God, which I guess is the important thing.

Jack: Yeah, because really, Jesus isn't God. He's a guy who somehow knows about.

Cristina: The shadow realm because he has a special communication with God, though, through the shadow realm, I'm guessing.

Jack: How did he get that communication to begin with?

Cristina: Psst. I don't know.

Jack: I mean, I guess. I guess his drinking blood. Because we know Jesus is the first vampire.

Cristina: Oh, crap.

Jack: Which means he has already some form of access to the shadow room. We know he did in fact, die.

Cristina: Yes, but he came back.

Jack: Well, he went to the shadow realm. That means even the Jesus we see.

Cristina: It'S the vampire Jesus.

Jack: That was interesting, because he died as a vampire. Well, he's only a zombie when it's feral.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: And he had the vampire things going on. That's how he was doing his magic tricks and confusing people and crap like that. And then he got killed for being a vampire, essentially. And then because he was so hopped up and so well medicated on adrenochrome, his soul crosses over to the shadow realm, where he then meets God and communicating over there. And not only that, he gets over there and then he communicates with the creatures who have clean passage, like fairies and leprechauns and s***, that they can jump freely from the shadow realm into the mortal realm without needing adrenochrome. And then he's like, oh, you know what? Now that I think about this, there's one guy who's involved in all this, and it always comes back to this.

Cristina: Is it Saint Patrick?

Jack: It's Saint Patrick, bro. It's always Saint Patrick.

Cristina: How's he related?

Jack: Saint Patrick understood the fairies.

Cristina: He did? Well, he was against them, though. He got them out of Ireland. Yes.

Jack: How does he know how to remove a creature that is pure magic.

Cristina: He.

Jack: He had weird. He's like salmon, Dean. He had weird research that the rest of us didn't have access to.

Cristina: Well, supposedly God helped him.

Jack: God wasn't real yet. He had the stories of God and like, you know, all these BS things. Yes, but somehow the fairies and leprechauns, I could freely jump back and forth.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Jesus on the other side, having been a native to decide and the first person to consume copious amounts of adrenochrome, thus allowing him to be the first person to cross over and then realize, holy s***.

Cristina: Maybe he knew the truth about Jesus because we know that the church is keeping secrets because they create monsters themselves.

Jack: Yeah, fair enough.

Cristina: So he might have that knowledge.

Jack: Interesting. Interesting. So you think. Well, he's actually. Where? He works for the church.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: So you think he knew about the death of Jesus and then St. Patrick decided, what if I can summon. No, you got to know you can summon him first. That's the problem. It doesn't matter what creatures you're making on this side. They fade out to the other side. Then what they're do to going, gone. Okay, great. But how do you know you can bring something back? There's a point here in which shrines are coming up to bring s*** from the shadow realm. That's the part that's missing. And somehow Jesus from that side, already dead, only took three days to figure it out and pop up on the other side.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Was it the fear of his family?

Cristina: What?

Jack: The fear of his family. Now he can see his family from that side. He sees them as ghosts, as faded people walking around. But they don't see him. That's how the shadow realm works. Yeah, so is the fear they're feeling that they're gonna come for us now because we were his family. Did that help him manifest? And then he pops up and he's like, holy, I'm on this side.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Because they kept visiting the grave too.

Cristina: Yes. Maybe the grave created some type of portal he just came through. From their fear, he manifested.

Jack: Yes. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That their continuous visit of the grave created enough focused fear because they're gonna come for us eventually.

Cristina: Maybe not just his family, but like, all the followers.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Anybody on anyone? Yeah.

Jack: And so this immense amount of. We're all gonna die. They killed him. They're coming for us.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: There's so much fear that he popped up. That he popped up?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I mean, there were 12 other vampires, bro. Let's be real. They were scared, too. They're like, oh, s***, we're next.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: There was enough fear going around. And then he pops up, and then a moment comes and he goes. And he's like, okay, I have no idea what the f*** is happening, but I feel I'm fading away. I need you guys to figure out, because I saw the other side and I was there. I was there. Let's call it Heaven. He didn't have a name for yet. Shadow Realm, obviously. But let's call it Heaven. And I'm on the other side. I saw it. I was there. I witnessed it. Look, guys, I feel like the opposite of the feeling I had coming over here is currently happening to me. So I'm assuming if that's the case, it means I'm fading away the same way I faded in before. That happens. I'm here. Look. You guys see me? Everybody sees me. Yes, we all see you. We don't know how the f*** you're here, but, yeah, okay.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Something happened. Figure it the f*** out.

Cristina: And you think they figured it out?

Jack: Twelve apostles who are fully aware and communicated with Jesus firsthand after his death.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And now they know there's something else, and we can bring him back. We don't know how it happened, but we know what happened. He doesn't know how it happened either.

Cristina: And they sent him to Japan after that.

Jack: Well, I don't know. He was already in Japan, probably. Oh, hidden Japan. I don't know. Do some.

Cristina: And then how does Ireland.

Jack: I don't know. I was just assuming that this douchebag who has connections to crap coming in and out was probably connected, but probably not. He's probably just making monsters himself. Who knows? But we know Jesus came back. Yes, probably because of the fear of everybody. And he got it. We know he communicated with everybody. And then he's gone again. Right. Some step is missing there that then led to shrines.

Cristina: Besides that, he just goes there and he makes.

Jack: He probably went and talked to fairies, right? And he's like, do you guys know. Do you guys get it? It's like, well, we have clean passage, but. But the reason you popped up over there is simply because fear, energy pushes you over there. Maybe he got the information from some leprechauns, some fairies. They were just like, well, really? Really. If people are scared enough, some of these creatures have the ability. Most of anything in here can just manifest on that side. Fear is the connecting link.

Cristina: Yeah. I didn't feel like he would have known that somehow because of the Whole blood drinking.

Jack: Well, no, he wasn't drinking blood to cross over. He was drinking blood for its attributes of power.

Cristina: Oh, okay. He was probably knowing that.

Jack: No idea Shadow Realm existed.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Gotta hold the blood. He's like, wow, I'm strong. Holy s***, I'm smarter. He didn't, like, think Shadow Realm. Oh, yeah, Blood equals Shadow Realm.

Cristina: If it makes him smarter. Maybe he figured it out once he was brought back. He was like, oh, crap, I saw that you guys were sad or whatever.

Jack: Like, that's loose, thoughts connected, you need some confirmation. Which I'm.

Cristina: Well, maybe that's what he tested out in Japan with the temple temples. Maybe those were tests.

Jack: I don't think they were tests. I think the shrines were there intentionally. Some information had to be solid. It wasn't like a random gamble. That would make zero sense for him to just conclude.

Cristina: No, because then the world would be covered in temples, though. Why would he just cover one place in temples? I feel like once he realized I don't need these temples, like, this was a good practice and they did work, but I don't actually need it because in other places it still works the same.

Jack: No, no, no, no. Because you're missing one very important piece.

Cristina: What's that?

Jack: How religion itself changed in structure to say, you're not just all gonna die, only those of you who haven't repented. So you can go and ask for forgiveness. Where?

Cristina: The church.

Jack: The church. Okay, now the church has a greater purpose other than it doesn't matter where you are when you are. No. Take your fear to one spot and be cleansed there. Because God now does a cleansing process the same way the kami. You go there, you pray to create that harmony.

Cristina: Yeah. I think he brought that knowledge and then did the church thing. Like that was Tess. It worked out. But he's like, how can I do continue?

Jack: I think it was Tess. I think it was functional. Yeah, I think it was all functional. Because the problem is the date in which this starts is precisely the dates surrounding Jesus. It's all around the first couple of years that we count.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Which means it wasn't that he ran tests and then. Oh, they work. Let me go over there and apply it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: No, no, no. It happened simultaneously everywhere on Earth.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Everything just changed. To go into the building and you will be forgiven.

Cristina: Oh, at the same time as the temple?

Jack: At the same time as the temples.

Cristina: Huh? I wonder why. I guess just because it made more sense in the different places.

Jack: The problem is we already had churches.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And it wasn't doing that beforehand. So it was impossible for us to connect the dots because it was just like, well, religions naturally evolve over time, blah, blah, blah. No, but this didn't exist in Japan.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: They just suddenly had shrines.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And so that gives us the information we need because at the same time, the shrines showed up also. New Testament forgiving God, so long as you go and get forgiven.

Cristina: Yes, but then it all leads back to Jesus, though.

Jack: It all leads back to Jesus.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yes, but it wasn't a test. No, it was definitely not a test. Because if it was a test, there would be a discrepancy in time.

Cristina: No, but I guess he might have tried to bring the church to those places, but it didn't work out. So he was like, oh, these temples worked out.

Jack: No, there's no need for the church. He affected the churches that already existed because there were already churches.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: But had there not been churches, he would have just thrown temples because there's no reason to. How long would it take to influence an entire thing with a whole religion? Just abuse the religion they already have.

Cristina: Okay, okay, I see.

Jack: This way you could show up anywhere whenever you want.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: As opposed to slowly picking at, we gotta force religion to. Well, let me show up where my homies are and tell them, hey, guys, I can't show up over there. Go and force religion over there. It might take 300 years, but sometimes.

Cristina: That did happen, though.

Jack: Yeah, but no, they were. They already had their own religion. Oh, and then Christianity tried to force itself on there because while Shinto has a shrine, it doesn't have mass. So people show up independently. Yeah, when they want. There's no central. Nobody controls Shinto. There's no center, focus. So you go, you pray whenever you want, however you want, whatever you feel like it. But you come with that little bit of fear. You don't even realize you have the difference between churches. You can manifest Jesus easy. Put a hundred people in a room all at the same time.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Nevertheless, he tricked everybody into thinking a specific day is better than all the others. So you can. Can get a bunch of people collected in a bunch of places all at the same time and have mass fear energy accumulated, allowing him to move freely through earth.

Cristina: Yes, this makes sense.

Jack: So then they start pushing that where other religions just had small numbers. But important enough was at least he could already show up over there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So it was a matter of we need them to be able to believe they could be forgiven or cleansed by going to this specific location, allowing me to manifest. And then Move freely.

Cristina: That's pretty amazing. Maybe he made some type of deal with these creatures because there had to be other creatures that wanted the same type of travel crap.

Jack: Ton of creatures coming through.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: Problem is, too many of them are just feral creatures. Yes, a wolf that just ate a human.

Cristina: But that's why the church are fighting those creatures with their own creatures. Oh, maybe they were fighting not for good, but just for control. They have to get rid of those type of aggressive creatures for their own creatures to be okay.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: That's pretty cool.

Jack: I mean, not for their own creatures to be okay. They made creatures to fight the creatures. It was to keep the people okay.

Cristina: Yeah, because they still need enough people to make the fear to get the person that they actually care about moving around and whatever.

Jack: The church probably had no idea. There's no way the church would intentionally allow people to come from the dead. That would defeat too many purposes and too many already established narratives. You gotta understand, a single con man was in charge here. The same con man that was conning everybody all the time.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: There's no giant conspiracy of the Church trying to bring people over?

Cristina: No, I'm not saying that. Just to protect what he wants. Protected? I don't know.

Jack: What do you mean?

Cristina: That they're fighting off these creatures so that we don't die.

Jack: Right.

Cristina: Because they need that blood to continue doing magic and whatever.

Jack: Got you. Yes, yes. I thought you meant like they wanted the churches and the shrines and crap to bring things from the other side.

Cristina: No, I mean, maybe Jesus, but yeah, Jesus, definitely. And there are other saints because supposedly saints are all magical beings as well.

Jack: Say it again.

Cristina: The saints are also magical beings as well. So they might also be bringing back those people. I don't know. I know. Their blood is magic.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: I don't know if it relates.

Jack: Probably. I'm assuming anybody who worked for the church had some connection to adrenochrome. Ah, yes, because that's the lineage that Jesus left behind. But he left behind a special secret when he showed up in person after his death. And the only people who knew that were the 12 apostles. Aka the other vampires.

Cristina: Yes. You think those vampires are still around?

Jack: They could be. We know that there's ancients. Are those the ancient vampires?

Cristina: Maybe the ancients, yeah, there's some that.

Jack: Are recorded having died. They're in the Bible. You know, they biblically lost their lives. I don't know if all of them dead. I don't remember if all of them died. Those might be the ancients. They might still be around some of. And I know that, man. It's possible that Muhammad is just Jesus by a different name. Because the other question here is, if the fear is consistent enough and you from the shadow realm know how to use it well enough, can you just permanently exist over here? You know, like, if it's permanently. Yeah. So you're wild, wet judge. You're in the shadow realm, and you require fear to show up. People in Japan call you a kami, and they tame you by giving you offerings and distractions, and then you don't hurt people. But you're not aware that you can wander the shadow realm to different pockets of this energy because you're just a wild animal and you're protecting your territory. You're in one area, and it's a similar replica of the mortal realm in the shadow realm. So, you know, like any other animal, you hang out in your territory.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But Jesus is like, I can like, pop in and now where the f*** I want. Because I have the conscious awareness that I can go wherever. Which then brings up an interesting point. People who are haunted by spirits of other people can be haunted by those spirits anywhere they go. You could live in this house, be haunted. You could go across the planet and realize you're still being haunted. And it's because that's a thinking person who's in the other side and knows, yeah, they can go to this other spot and use that pocket of energy.

Cristina: But those aren't ghosts, are they? They're just creatures that look like you're jinn. Yeah, like, I forgot. What's that lady called? The Weeping? No, the Banshee.

Jack: Yeah, the banshee.

Cristina: She can follow you.

Jack: Exactly.

Cristina: Follows people. So. And she might not be anyone specific. Although people did come up with different histories of who she might be. Yeah, Just might be people, but might not be people. It's hard to tell.

Jack: Interesting, right?

Cristina: Yeah. Do we die and end up over there? I don't think so.

Jack: Well, this is the most interesting part about all this research is the fact that dead people can become kami according to Shinto belief.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yes. Which tells us a lot of what I'm saying has been confirmed.

Cristina: Okay, what, like, what kind of people become kami? Or it could just anyone.

Jack: Yeah, Anybody could become a kami.

Cristina: They don't have to do anything special.

Jack: Nope. There's no rules in Shinto.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: Interesting, right?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Yep.

Cristina: I wonder how they got that idea. It's got VP's original commie was Jesus. All right.

Jack: Interesting, right?

Cristina: Yep.

Jack: That is what I have found and seems to be quite accurately. So now we have a better understanding of how churches and shrines, the purpose of religion and how the. The first being might have come through and thus established anywhere that there wasn't already a strong force of religion, where people already gathered together in a building. Little places where they can funnel that same energy in a different kind of way.

Cristina: It's everywhere. It's everywhere. Wow.

Jack: It's fascinating, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Anyways, we're running out of time, but conclusions for days.

Cristina: Yes. I think we have a good picture of what's going on. Almost a complete picture. Almost.

Jack: Yes. And it seems that it's possible. It might be possible for us to specifically summon Jehovah without having to wait. We might not even have to go into the Shadow Realm. We could probably just summon him.

Cristina: We could just summon him with the chance and stuff. Or some other way.

Jack: With a shrine. With a shrine bringing enough people scared, particularly of seasons and things like that, that. I guess on the flip side, if we assume that there is a portal inside of the hole, then somehow in a church, there is a portal as well. And somehow there is a way to form a portal. I guess that would be the next step to find out if there is a portal to get to the Shadow Realm without adrenochrome.

Cristina: Whoa. We gotta find that. In a church.

Jack: That would be the best place to start looking, at least.

Cristina: All right.

Jack: Anywhere that would have collective amounts of energy.

Cristina: Let's go to that main place. Isn't there a giant. The King Church? The giant church where the Pope lives?

Jack: Yeah, maybe. Maybe he has the portal. Maybe he's going in and out all the time.

Cristina: Ooh, we'll find out.

Jack: Anyways, that is that. That's Shinto for you. Nice little down that rabbit hole. And it seems that it fit. I had the theory and it did.

Cristina: It did.

Jack: It did. It felt very familiar somehow. Anyways, this is actually the first time we talk about Shinto in such detail. I guess.

Cristina: Yeah. Because I think we've mentioned it a few times.

Jack: We've mentioned it, but never really gone into great detail. So we don't really have any reference points for anybody else to go and dive into that. But you can find anything else that we've talked about in any of our previous episodes.

Cristina: We've talked about commies.

Jack: Maybe we've mentioned commies. Yeah. But we've never focused on Shinto as a belief system. But yeah, you guys can definitely find those episodes and a million more on the official website. Greatthoughts.info on Apple Podcasts. On Spotify or anywhere you get your podcasts.

Cristina: This has been the Just Conversation podcast. Take nothing personal and thanks for listening. Bye. He can't speak. I guess he chooses not to.

Jack: He might choose not to. Who says God speaks English?

Cristina: Huh?

Jack: Right? Like, why would he speak in a way we can comprehend by any means?

Cristina: What would it sound like?

Jack: Would it sound like. I like the. In Supernatural, when they heard Castiel's real voice and it shook and destroyed all the windows, it was just like this crazy loud and it destroyed all the windows and it made them all f****** temporarily deaf and everything.

Cristina: He did that on purpose.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And when they saw him, they went blind temporarily as well. Castiel, like his real form.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Well, the angels real form works like that. Like the God way of. Like you'll be minded.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

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

Jack: And I'm Jack.

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

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

Cristina: And what if they walk away?

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

Cristina: They must be the one.

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

Cristina: Okay.

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

Cristina: You just make them the one?

Jack: You make them the one.

Cristina: Is it like love at first sight?

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

Cristina: The one.

Jack: The one.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's your listening partner.

Cristina: That's not creepy.

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

Cristina: Mm. Guess what holidays coming up.

Jack: What holiday?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jack: Snakes and demons?

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

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

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

Jack: Sounds legit.

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

Jack: The fire spitter?

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

Jack: Kind of like vampire hunter D or something.

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

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

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

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

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

Jack: Yeah.

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

Jack: Faster than de Demons.

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

Jack: You mean caught up.

Cristina: Yes.

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

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

Jack: Sweet. Okay, so everybody died.

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

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

Cristina: He's. He is the God.

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

Cristina: Well, they gave it to him.

Jack: Who?

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

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

Cristina: Was the fastest horse.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Like here.

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

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

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

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

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

Cristina: It died that day.

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

Cristina: Yeah, it died.

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

Cristina: He kills everything. Well, if you.

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

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

Jack: He's a demigod.

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

Jack: Yeah.

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

Jack: Right.

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

Jack: It was St. Patrick that did it.

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

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

Cristina: Yeah.

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

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

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

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

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

Cristina: Yes, the Kratos, Yes.

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

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

Jack: And thus the invention of midgets.

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

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

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

Jack: Okay.

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

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

Cristina: No. Leprechaun is a type of fairy.

Jack: I get that.

Cristina: Fairy is the blanket term thing.

Jack: Fairies, the blanket term.

Cristina: Yes.

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

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

Jack: My point is exact.

Cristina: Okay, that's not a thing.

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

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

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

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

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

Cristina: Dwarfs. You know what a dwarf is?

Jack: A dwarf is just a person.

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

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

Cristina: No.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cristina: Yes.

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

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

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

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

Jack: It depends.

Cristina: It depends.

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

Cristina: Oh, I read the opposite of.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jack: Got you.

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

Jack: Navi.

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

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

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

Jack: Yes.

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

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

Cristina: I thought it was the Chinese dragon.

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

Cristina: Okay. The Asian dragons and then.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jack: What's the get up there?

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

Jack: Trick you how?

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

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Yep. Yep.

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

Cristina: Nope. He really messed up on that.

Jack: Yeah, so.

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

Jack: Get it at that moment.

Cristina: At that moment, yes.

Jack: Interesting.

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

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

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

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

Cristina: Okay.

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

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

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

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

Jack: Don't disrupt me at all.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: While stealing Your gold.

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

Jack: To drown.

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

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

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

Jack: And then what was one of the wishes?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jack: Oh, is it the same leprechaun?

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

Jack: I think so.

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

Jack: Yeah, that's weird.

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

Jack: So he's an alcoholic?

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

Jack: As a short individual.

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

Jack: Right, so it's his power.

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

Jack: So they all die.

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

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

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

Jack: Very strange. Yes, yes.

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

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

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

Jack: That would make sense.

Cristina: That's kind of horrifying.

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

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

Jack: Yeah.

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

Jack: Why does he kidnap the children again?

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

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

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

Jack: No.

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

Jack: Underwear gnome logic.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cristina: Even the swapping babies thing is chill.

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

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

Jack: None of that is kidnapping.

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

Jack: Sounds scary, not evil.

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

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

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

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

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

Jack: The evil ones?

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

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

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

Jack: An evil rat. Leprechaun.

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

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

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

Jack: Sounds like it.

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

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

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

Jack: So they are basically the swamp creature.

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

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

Cristina: Yes. And rich.

Jack: And rich.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jack: F****** banshee.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cristina: What if she got killed outside?

Jack: I thought she got killed in the house.

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

Jack: Didn't he kill her?

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

Jack: And that's the banshee.

Cristina: And that's the banshee? Yes.

Jack: The wife that died.

Cristina: Yes.

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

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

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

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

Jack: Got it.

Cristina: But that doesn't.

Jack: Got it, got it, got it.

Cristina: I understand.

Jack: I understand.

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

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

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The ghost story in the room.

Cristina: Oh, yeah, okay.

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

Cristina: Well, she was hispan. She.

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

Cristina: Yes.

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

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

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

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

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

Cristina: Yes.

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

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

Jack: Could be.

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

Jack: That's crazy.

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

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

Cristina: Yes.

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

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

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

Cristina: Yeah.

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

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: On Mars.

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

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: So that.

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

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

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

Cristina: It's not a person.

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

Cristina: Not a leprechaun.

Jack: A fairy.

Cristina: A fairy? Yes.

Jack: Okay. It's a fairy.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: In Irish culture the banshee is a fairy.

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

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

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

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

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

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Yep.

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

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

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

Cristina: Yeah.

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

Cristina: Yeah.

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

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

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

Cristina: Yeah.

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

Cristina: Yeah.

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

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

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

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Regular spirit or shadow person.

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

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

Cristina: The banshee is more like the groundhog?

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

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

Jack: Yes. Do you know?

Cristina: Yeah.

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

Cristina: Yeah.

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

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

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

Cristina: Mm.

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

Cristina: She's warning about the Reaper then.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cristina: Yeah.

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

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

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

Cristina: What?

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

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

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

Cristina: Oh, okay.

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

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

Jack: Just a possibility.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jack: Yeah, that's very noble.

Cristina: Yeah.

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

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Then you deserve good things.

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

Jack: Interesting.

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

Jack: Transylvanian legends and whatnot.

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

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

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

Jack: A year to random people.

Cristina: To random people.

Jack: She's Jeeper Scrapers.

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

Jack: Oh, so she's a succubus.

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

Jack: Jeepers Creepers.

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

Jack: Yeah. You just enable her.

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

Jack: She sounds very Jeepers Creepers.

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

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

Cristina: By a song. Oh, yeah.

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

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

Jack: No.

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

Jack: Fantastic.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jack: Of 30 dogs all at once simultaneously.

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

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

Cristina: Yes.

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

Cristina: That's the same thing.

Jack: Very interesting. It sounds like a Pokemon.

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

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

Cristina: No, not yet.

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

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

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

Cristina: No, it's not Mikey.

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

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

Jack: Okay, fair enough.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jack: Oh, my God.

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

Jack: Freaking Rotom.

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

Jack: That makes perfect sense. But it's like, why is this a freaking Pokemon? A blender. A toaster.

Cristina: I'm not sure what this one's supposed to be.

Jack: Where's the other one? Next to it.

Cristina: That one?

Jack: No, the one that's a toaster. What the h*** is that?

Cristina: No idea. Okay, so people are getting really creative of what this should look like. What?

Jack: Freaking Rotom, bro.

Cristina: Yes, I would like to see Quest Beast as a Pokemon.

Jack: That'd be cool. Questy. Questy Equestrian.

Cristina: Oh, that's a cool name.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it is a cool name.

Cristina: Well, that was awesome. And there's a lot of creatures in Ireland. Ridiculous. That place is popular.

Jack: Yes, but what has made me interested about everything you've talked about is really digging into a banshee. Yeah, like, at this point, we've become the new Sam and Dean. They're off air. They're. They're. They're living their lives. We still hunting? S***, they stopped. We're still going. We're still hunting.

Cristina: Yeah, they're the ones that taught us.

Jack: Yeah, except we have a freaking army of subhumans provided by the Chinese cloning program. Yeah, which is totally fine. Look, it's totally fine. Actually, it's not the cloning program. We're the clones. It's all the aborted babies.

Cristina: The aborted babies make the.

Jack: The subhumans.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Aborted babies equal an army of subhumans that are superior because they're genetically engineered and then turn into Superhumans that then we use to hunt these creat like the ones in Ireland. And now I am fascinated by a banshee.

Cristina: Except that these creatures have. Are really secretive and they can hide and stuff. And like, I don't know. Finding a banshee really hard.

Jack: I'll figure it out, okay? I will figure out finding a banshee.

Cristina: Well, that's gonna be fun.

Jack: It's gonna be astounding. I will find the banshee by any means necessary.

Cristina: All right?

Jack: I promise. That much.

Cristina: I can't wait.

Jack: Yes. It's gonna be exciting.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Anyways, if you guys enjoyed this conversation and many conversations of this nature already exist on this show, that you can go find those locations would be to find them on the official website, greathoughts.info Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and anywhere else you get your podcasts.

Jack: Yes. And remember to subscribe, rate, and review.

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

Jack: Yes. Word of mouth. It's totally amazing. Scream at people as if you were a banshee and tell them, hey, you're gonna love that. And they're gonna be like, yeah, I will. And you're like, yeah, cool. Scream with me. And then they'll scream with you. You should do that to random people on the street. Because they love it.

Cristina: They love it.

Jack: They love it.

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

Jack: Kekken Apheos. Go on. Hang in hand.

Cristina: And that's what KEK is all about.

Jack: Chaos. Yeah. Embracing chaos. It's a natural part of everything. But so is order. And having order and reason and logic. In no moment does Kek's chaos interfere with Pastafarianism. Logic. The goal is be reasonable. Same thing with Kek. You control, but you don't hurt people.

Cristina: Because it's just a joke.

Jack: It's just a joke. If you're crossing the line, you're f****** up.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You're doing it wrong.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's not about hurting other people. It's about that balance of you can have fun. Some people are gonna get annoyed.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But they should know that they're getting annoyed at a joke.

Cristina: It's so weird how anything could have a religion. Thinking of Shaggy. Shaggy. The church of Shaggy.

Jack: Yeah. What happens with Shaggy is the idea that destruction is equal to creation. So not only do we maintain balance, but we need to understand that sometimes things. A good example is, as writers, we often have to get rid of something and destroy something because it's just not working out. It's the weak link in what we're trying to do. And sometimes you're attached to the idea, but the story isn't attached to the idea.

Cristina: I usually just remove them. I don't delete them or anything.

Jack: Well, you can remove them, put them somewhere else, but you're destroying the concept you were working with to change it for something else.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And that just goes hand in hand with. To maintain balance, you must destroy sometimes.

Cristina: That's an interesting way to see it. Yeah.

Jack: Shaggy is important.

Cristina: He is.

Jack: He's important in everything. You must destroy in order to create their hand in hand.
