+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And if you haven't yet, remember to hit that subscribe button and 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 be sure to find somebody to listen to the show with. That's it?

Cristina: That's it?

Jack: That's it.

Cristina: Nothing dangerous.

Jack: Why would end it be dangerous?

Cristina: Because it's always dangerous.

Jack: Who said?

Cristina: You say. You always say.

Jack: I've never used the words dangerous.

Cristina: No, but you suggest horrible things.

Jack: Like what?

Cristina: Like man, what did you suggest last week?

Jack: Who knows? You're making it all up. We don't do the cancer part.

Cristina: We don't do the cancer.

Jack: No, the cancer just happens to people. There's something that's different.

Cristina: That's true.

Jack: Cancer just happens to people.

Cristina: What about that time where that guy we. Oh, I guess you don't. You say. You said last week though that or an episode or two ago that you don't tell people what to do. You're just saying what a random person is doing.

Jack: Yeah. Because the odds are somebody's doing this. There's 7 billion people in the world.

Cristina: Yes. And one of them is fighting a Gryffindor in the forest.

Jack: A Gryffindor. So to be. So to get this straight, somebody is fighting.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: A wizard. No, out in the forest.

Cristina: Not a wizard. Gryffindor. Not. Oh, not that. Oh crap. Whatever the bird is called. Is it?

Jack: So somebody's fighting a wizard bird?

Cristina: No. What's the bird?

Jack: Cause so for those of you who want to share this show with somebody and you happen to be a wizard from Gryffindor.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You can share this with your classmates.

Cristina: Cassan's fighting a wizard. Okay. No. What is that bird then?

Jack: The griffin.

Cristina: The griffin. Okay. Someone in the forest was fighting a griffin.

Jack: No, they're fighting a Gryffindor. We're talking the end of the world. We have black magic versus white magic and they're going at it in the woods. This is the last Harry Potter film, isn't it? That's what's happening. That took place in the woods or some s***. It was like both in the school and then in the woods. Cuz they were like teleporting back and forth or some s***.

Cristina: I didn't see the last movies. Like, I didn't see lots of those movies.

Jack: I sat down and I saw all of in one sitting.

Cristina: That's pretty horrible.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was very bad.

Cristina: Why didn't you do that with Lord of the Rings?

Jack: It would have been about the same amount of time.

Cristina: Are you sure?

Jack: Lord of the Rings is like nine hours long in three movies.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Well, Harry Potter's like an hour and a half each. Yeah, seven movies.

Cristina: Okay, there's a lot of movies. That's a lot of movies. Okay, that's up there. Yeah. Well, not Griffin. Gryffindors.

Jack: Look, the Gryffindors are a dangerous group of people. But there's a good guys, right? Yeah, there's good guys. The Gryffindors. They're dangerous or powerful.

Cristina: There's probably bad Gryffindors, though.

Jack: Aren't all the bad people from, like, Slytherin?

Cristina: There's probably because they slither.

Jack: Yeah, it's probably.

Cristina: That's stereotyping.

Jack: That is stereotyping. That being said, if I were to be a wizard, I'd rather Slytherin. Gryffindor. Pretentious. Like Goody Two Shoes. You guys are whack.

Cristina: I want it to be Ravenclaw.

Jack: Yeah, Ravenclaw works too. Yeah, they're the pretentious intellect douchebags.

Cristina: But I'm not. The hat said Slytherin.

Jack: The hat said Slytherin for you.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So you're the bad guy.

Cristina: I'm not a bad guy.

Jack: You're a worm. You're slither. You're a snake. You slither.

Cristina: Yes. Whatever.

Jack: I got Ravenclaw.

Cristina: You got Ravenclaw?

Jack: Yeah. I wanted Slytherin because the bad guy's duh.

Cristina: And you got Ravenclaw.

Jack: I got Ravenclaw.

Cristina: That's lame.

Jack: I wanted Slytherin. Slytherin would be cool, dude. Be edgy with the homies. I don't know, just black clothing.

Cristina: They're not edgy.

Jack: They're all edgy. You know who's the most edgy? What the f*** is the name of this annoying kid?

Cristina: The blond one?

Jack: Yeah, the blonde troll.

Cristina: Malfoy.

Jack: Malfoy. He's totally a troll. Yeah, he's an edgy troll.

Cristina: I just know he doesn't have, like, two friends who are. Yeah, yeah.

Jack: That's why I'm saying he's edgy. Not, his friends are edgy.

Cristina: Yeah, but they're also Slytherin.

Jack: I don't know. I feel like they would be from Hufflepuff. Right. I don't know where all the losers go.

Cristina: Do all the. They have to be. There's something unique about them. Right?

Jack: What is Hufflepuff's uniqueness? We're all fat.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Ironically enough, Hufflepuff. No, wait, that other kid is from Gryffindor. He hangs out in the same class as Harry. The other kid who was. Yeah, no, the kid who was gonna be the other guy who just had total roll of the dice of being the chosen one.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Yeah. I think he is Gryffindor.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: There's a crazy storm happening outside for anybody who's listening right now.

Cristina: So in case you hear it.

Jack: Yeah. In case you hear this crazy storm in the background. Right now we're on Mars and there's quite a heavy. We didn't even know Mars had storms. We thought that was like a Saturn exclusive thing or some s***. Is it Saturn or Venus? Sat we. One of the planets in our f****** system has a crazy. Yeah, there's a bunch with storms. Like some of one of our plants is raining acid or something. I don't f****** know. But yeah. So there's a storm going on up here. It's a very heavy dust storm. And there's rain, which is weird because that means there's water, which we haven't seen. But also, this isn't technically our Mars.

Cristina: Exactly. Yeah. And it's probably. We like where we placed it might not be exactly where Mars was supposed to be.

Jack: So like we're estimating, like.

Cristina: Yeah, it was pretty. I guess there's no way we could have picked the exact specific.

Jack: Hey, look, at least we've fixed the gravity of the system. That's what matters.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The system was gonna go to. And we saved the system from going to. So we're heroes.

Cristina: Yes. And now it rains.

Jack: And now it rains on Mars. Because Mars of planet Mars 2 universe 2 Mars too.

Cristina: Well, that's a good thing. Maybe things will live here, start growing. Yeah.

Jack: D***. You think it's because we place weird that it rains now?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You think the soup. The sub humans are like using the rain to like, torture things. Like holding werewolves underwater. Like f******. What is it called when you put the f******.

Cristina: Like the waterboard.

Jack: Waterboarding. You think they're using it to waterboard people?

Cristina: I don't know. I'm not watching them, man.

Jack: That's fire.

Cristina: That's what they do.

Jack: Yeah, I don't ask questions. No, I mean, I literally just ask questions.

Cristina: You just. Exactly.

Jack: So, yeah, like, I show up after the abuse happens. And I'm like, all right, f****** cat person, you stupid bottom of the barrel cat guy. Tell me where your leaders are.

Cristina: That's why you asked them?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Do you actually want to know?

Jack: Yeah. That's actually why we're gonna go and attack the cat gods.

Cristina: The cat gods. There's. Why are we fighting gods?

Jack: Well, they call them gods. I'm sure they're just like powerful aliens or something.

Cristina: Oh, all right. Like, they're just more cat people.

Jack: Yeah, I mean, I'm assuming. And we also have the technology to get there now with the pyramids and the lasers and the, you know.

Cristina: Yes. And we got zombies. We can make them fight our war.

Jack: That's. That's interesting. Right? Like, because the idea here is we have an island filled with zombies and we have a bunch of sub humans who are, like, way better than all the humans and super soldiers that have ever existed.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So we can send a bunch of zombies ahead just to mindlessly destroy everything, and then send the subhumans to clean out the zombies after they've taken care of all of the cat people.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: But then we got a weird problem, because there's cat people. Zombies, maybe.

Cristina: That might be worse than that might be worse if they have magic and they're zombies.

Jack: Yeah, that was the f****** thing about the cat people. Right. There was magic. So the cat people have magic abilities.

Cristina: That's probably dangerous.

Jack: D***. It's hard to follow the lore of this, but, yeah, I'm pretty sure the cat people are entirely magic, right?

Cristina: Yes, they are.

Jack: They are. And we were comparing their magic to the reptilian science. Interesting.

Cristina: Exactly. Yeah. Because it's so advanced looking.

Jack: Yes, because the reptilian science is so advanced that it might as well be magic. Which then brings up the question of whether what the cat people have is really magic or just technology. So advanced it even looks like magic compared to the reptilian technology.

Cristina: I don't know. It might be magic. I don't know. Maybe it comes from the forest. Is that where we were talking about before? Not them, but the forest with the glass.

Jack: The Gryffindor force, where the Gryffindors are fighting right now.

Cristina: The. The Flash. Where his power comes from.

Jack: Oh, the Speed Force.

Cristina: The Speed Force. Where we think all the powers come from.

Jack: Interesting. Well, that would be science, wouldn't it?

Cristina: Would that be science?

Jack: Would that be science? Are you telling me that the Flash is magic?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: The argument would be that if the Speed Force is real, yes. It's the Fifth Force. It's Just science. It's part of the universe.

Cristina: Okay. My gosh. Because I. I don't remember if you mentioned this, but what about full metal alchemists?

Jack: Right. They get their source of power from another universe.

Cristina: Is it another universe or is it the Force?

Jack: No, it's another you. They. I mean, here's the. Okay, I like your question. Right. Because there's some thought to be given here. We know that in universe A, Edward Al, as well as all the other alchemists, use their powers.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And they can. Alchemy happens. But when they perform alchemy in this side, somebody dies. In the other universe, that's a trade off. Okay, so they're using the life of people from the other universe.

Cristina: Is that really what's happening?

Jack: I believe so.

Cristina: I don't know. I thought the other universe was just their place, but without the magic.

Jack: It is your place without the magic.

Cristina: But I didn't know death was happening.

Jack: Yes, they cause death every time they use alchemy.

Cristina: Are you sure?

Jack: I believe so, yes. Okay. After looking it up. Yes. So somebody dying on Earth sends the energy to their universe and then they can use it for alchemy.

Cristina: That means that. But when they use alchemy, they're not murdering someone. It's just someone dies. The energy has to go somewhere. It goes to over there.

Jack: The argument would be that those two scenarios are connected. Rather than somebody die and the energy waits and lingers. Somebody dying and doing alchemy are simultaneous.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So instead of saying because he did alchemy, somebody died or somebody died, that the energy goes to the other side and waits for alchemy to be done. There's no difference between the two scenarios.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Alchemy being performed and somebody dying are simultaneous.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And it's not that one caused the other in any kind of way.

Cristina: Interesting. So they.

Jack: So the question is, how is that connected to this? To the force?

Cristina: Yeah, because there. There's no. I mean, it's automatic.

Jack: Yeah, it's instant.

Cristina: It's. Maybe it looks instant, but it's not instant.

Jack: It could be the case. But how would we prove that? It would just be a total guess. We know death equals energy for alchemy. Yes, that's. That's what we have.

Cristina: Yeah, that's true. I don't know.

Jack: As well as we know, the two scenarios that are tangled together are World War II and the attack on Ishbal. Those are real scenarios that are probably happening simultaneously. So getting rid of the Ishbalans and is equal to the Germans getting rid of the Jews. This giant crazy massacre. And now as the Jews die on.

Cristina: Earth, that's giving enough energy to.

Jack: That gives enough energy for these guys to create some powerful alchemy and a mistress.

Cristina: Yeah, but that was like. It's so intertwined that you don't know which one came first to the other.

Jack: And then response. The counterparts are still dying in a mistress.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So the universe is balancing itself out at all times.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Perfectly equal exchange.

Cristina: Yes. Then how does that relate. Oh, my gosh. That's interesting.

Jack: Is it? Now the question is, if everything is based on the Force, this would also have to be based on the Force.

Cristina: That's. But how?

Jack: But how? Either we're not understanding how the Force works.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Or there's something.

Cristina: Because we've talked about how the Force is different. Like how in Transformers, it's just automatic. Like, they are attached to. They are the Force. Pretty much.

Jack: They don't need some. Some vessel. They are the vessel.

Cristina: Yeah. So using in some way like that, where they are it or their counterparts. The World2 version is what the Transformer is like. They are the energy. They are the magic. Whatever.

Jack: I don't get it.

Cristina: Like, even though they can't use magic, it's because the magic is inside them.

Jack: Right.

Cristina: They die. The magic goes to another place for.

Jack: Them to use, so then they can't use it. You're saying there's transformers that can't transform without their counterpart dying?

Cristina: Oh, no, that's true. Okay. No, no, no, no, no. That's not what I'm saying. I don't know. That's very.

Jack: It's complicated. Right. Because in every instant, we've had some connection to how the. Everything connects to the Force. And then we get to Full Metal Alchemist, and the question is, how does it connect to the Force? We know energy from one side equals the powers of the other.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: If we didn't know that people were dying on one side, we'd assume the Force is where they're getting this ability from.

Cristina: Yeah, but.

Jack: And it looks like lightning. A lot of the times are doing it just like force. There's electrical surges and lights and energy being used. Literal energy that we can see.

Cristina: Oh, crap. Then maybe it does relate to what's going on here.

Jack: Okay. Option B. The entire universe. Universe is the multiverse.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Works exactly the same way.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And what's happening is the Force isn't just the Force. It's literal life energy.

Cristina: Yes. We're murdering people. Every time Flash runs, he's killing someone.

Jack: Or people are dying. Reality the idea would be, I mean.

Cristina: Not reality, a different universe.

Jack: The whole universe?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So we know that in Star wars they're using the Force, but they're in a galaxy way the f*** away. So it's not an Earth thing. Energy of the universe. So people dying in a universe equate to energy existing in another. And it's a one direction thing.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So whatever universe B is funnels energy to universe A always and only in that direction.

Cristina: So if your universe doesn't have magic, you're probably. It's probably crap there.

Jack: You're probably the people who are dying to create magic.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: On the flip side, it could be a chain. So let's say that instead of us being universe A, we are universe B. We get energy from universe C, but we die giving energy to universe A.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And when people in universe A die, that energy goes to universe C. And so it's all connected always.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Thus there is a potential energy which then goes to say what you meant. There is just energy kind of lingering to be used. So when they die, it's not in sync necessarily. Maybe in their case it is, but in other instances, no.

Cristina: Yeah, because they just know about A and B. But there might be a cd, whatever.

Jack: It might just be always bouncing back around. A good way to think about this is the, the movie, the one.

Cristina: Which one's the one that's with jet.

Jack: Liquid and the multiverse, where he goes around jumping from universe to universe, killing all the versions of himself.

Cristina: Alright, Right.

Jack: So one guy is getting younger and stronger throughout the course of his life and he doesn't know why he becomes superhumanly strong and fast. He becomes a cop. He's an op cop. And then he finds out there's a guy, another version of him, who's been traveling from universe to universe, killing all the versions of himself to gain the power.

Cristina: So as that guy gets stronger, so is he.

Jack: So is he. Because the universe is evenly distributed between everybody of the same ability.

Cristina: Oh, wow. Okay, now these are two.

Jack: The problem here is in the one, the energy is divided evenly amongst everybody in all the 20, whatever, many universes.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: While Fullmetal Alchemist, it's one directional. The question is, is it truly one directional?

Cristina: It might not be because we just, we just don't understand how the whole connection.

Jack: In the case of alchemy specifically, maybe that type of energy usage means it's taking it from somewhere directly. So if you do alchemy in this universe, you took it from C. But if somebody in universe A did alchemy Somehow they would just off somebody in our universe.

Cristina: Yeah. Wait, which, if you have to say.

Jack: The letters again, we're B.

Cristina: Where? B. Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: And if A uses it, B, someone.

Jack: Somebody dies here.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And we don't even know it. We're just like, well, somebody died.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But that's energy over there.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Or there is, in fact, a lingering energy that's accessible from any universe at any given moment. But then why couldn't the people in universe C use energy from people dying here in universe B? Unless they just simply don't have alchemy, which we know they don't. Yeah, that universe, that, for the physics, doesn't allow for alchemy. But if they could.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: They would be tapping into that same energy.

Cristina: Yeah. But why can't they?

Jack: Different universe. That's all it is. Physics.

Cristina: Yes, the physics are different. All right. Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: So the potential energy is still there.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: It's just not being used through alchemy, because that's impossible.

Cristina: But there might be another way they can use it. They just haven't figured that out yet.

Jack: Or they are using it and we weren't shown what that is.

Cristina: Yes, that too. Oh, yes. That solves it.

Jack: So that could explain. That could keep the force consistent.

Cristina: Yes. Wait, how did he get into the other universe?

Jack: Somebody created a portal and pushed him through to get rid of him.

Cristina: Oh, okay. And the door with knowledge thing, what is that? That's nothing. Yeah, the gate. That's not where they get their alchemy from. That's only related.

Jack: I think that's where it goes through.

Cristina: From between worlds.

Jack: Well, it's knowledge or something. That might be the physical location of the Speed Force or the Force. That creature is the living force.

Cristina: The living force. Okay, because I was thinking that that's where it came from, but I wasn't sure. But then you said it came from the other.

Jack: Yes, we know. People die on the other side to give the energy.

Cristina: Yeah. If I was thinking that the Force was in the actual physical location.

Jack: Well, knowledge is there. Maybe that is the Force's home. But the Force itself is the being that's there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Rather than the location.

Cristina: Interesting.

Jack: And so energy goes through it. It requires. Because it can connect. It connects everything to all the universes he's in.

Cristina: I just finished reading the Witcher, and in that book, the girl sees a door, and that reminded me of the. The. The gate. Because she's learning magic.

Jack: Right.

Cristina: And that's where the magic comes from. Not physically, but in her mind. That's what she sees it as. And it's like, oh, crap, that reminds me of Full Metal Alchemist. But then that connected me to the other episode that we were talking about magic and, like, where it comes from. Because here everyone can get. Use the magic. Well, not everyone can use the magic, but people who can learn how to use the magic, they're all getting it from the same place.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cristina: Like, the source is the same.

Jack: Interesting. So the energy ultimately comes from the same place. So then we were. If we were to say this. Any. Anybody who learns to do anything, whether it looks like power, it looks like magic, it's all the same thing. We're just doing it differently.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So the Gryffindors are using the Force.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You can, in theory, pin the class of Gryffindor versus the Sith and have them go at it. Sith, lightning. And then somebody does a chant and waves their wand and boom. You're like fighting on equal terms.

Cristina: Yeah. Because they're all getting in this from the same place, I'm assuming. Yeah.

Jack: It's all coming from the Force one way or another.

Cristina: Yeah. What? What?

Jack: The greater energy.

Cristina: That's fascinating, but we all see it as something different.

Jack: We all see it as something. It's like religion. We're all talking about the same thing, but we're all calling it something different. Yes, but it is the same thing. This is. Everybody figured out how to use it differently, and we're all being disciplined differently on how to use exactly the same thing.

Cristina: Yes. That's interesting. It's like meditation. Like, there's a whole bunch of. A bunch of ways to use that and different schoolings for that. Like, there's a right way, but there's not really a right way.

Jack: It's not really a right way. You can meditate just by doing art, by playing an instrument. You can meditate by prayer. You can meditate by literally sitting there and humming and, like, uniting with a note. Distract your mind. There's so many. You can meditate. Flow states. Flow states. Your meditation.

Cristina: It's a huge variety. Like, unlimited. Yeah, variety.

Jack: Whatever can pull you into a state of thoughtlessness.

Cristina: But there's also people that say there's the right way of doing it, which.

Jack: Is incorrect because there is no right way. The only wrong is believing you're right.

Cristina: Yes. And that's the same with magic now.

Jack: Well, it's not even magic. It's just a form of energy. Yeah, Magic is a form of energy. Powers are a form of energy, which means when you have the X gene, that mutates in your body. That mutation just connects you to the Force.

Cristina: The Force X gene. That's. What is that?

Jack: Marvel X Men?

Cristina: X Men? Yeah.

Jack: That'S. That's just connecting you to the Force.

Cristina: Yeah. We talked about Superman having the Force, too.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: He literally uses light.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: His people are people inherently connected to the Force.

Cristina: Yeah. So even the X Men are using the Force in their DNA? Pretty much.

Jack: Well, their DNA can. Yeah, I guess something about the mutation they go through allows them to connect more directly to the Force.

Cristina: Is it possible then, that people who use magic just might have the X gene and don't even know it?

Jack: Interesting. Well, here's the problem. Here's the problem. Here's the problem. Right? People who use the X gene and people who use magic, when you. I mean, I guess you have to be born into magic, right? Is that the argument?

Cristina: No. I don't know. Most of the time, I feel like. Yes, yes. It's like very rare occasions where you don't need to be born. It just takes a little longer to learn. Like Hermione. Hermione. That's her name. She's not magic born.

Jack: Oh, s***. You're right. She just learned it.

Cristina: Yes. But it took her extra, extra long, I guess. I'm assuming, like, she had to study way more than everyone else.

Jack: Yeah. So it didn't take her longer. She had to work harder.

Cristina: Yes. That's why. I mean. Yes, she had to work harder.

Jack: Interesting. Interesting. I think you're definitely right.

Cristina: So.

Jack: Yeah, there's always a way. It just makes it easier. So the argument would be you don't need the X gene because there are some people who haven't mutated and still have abilities. Again, Superman's people. Unless they do have the X gene.

Cristina: They definitely do. They. They do, yes.

Jack: Because it's inherent. They're born with it.

Cristina: Yes. Goku's people.

Jack: Goku's people. Interesting. While humans are just human, regardless of how you're looking at it. So you got to learn. Either have some sort of vessel, have a tool that allows you to channel the power through it. Wands or.

Cristina: Wands is the popular choice.

Jack: This is a popular choice. Yeah. That seems to be like the Go To.

Cristina: Witches don't use wands, but they're. They're using the weakest level of magic because they're not really witches or anything. They just have the weakest, easiest to learn simplest tricks.

Jack: Yes, but it's also still magic because they do have tools that allow them to go through those abilities. So they'll have a hex bag. They'll have, you know, grab some of this dirt, grab some of that thing. And, like, you're still using the tools of. Then another thing would be. Right. We just talked about meditation. Yeah, but when you're doing witchcraft, you're trying to tune into nature, the elemental natures, which usually requires meditation in the first place. So you get the elements you need, you get the picture of whoever. You get a couple of natural, like, a leaf, some rock, some dirt, a.

Cristina: Thing from this place, avatar elements, crap.

Jack: Like that, and then you put it together to try to focus your energy and tune into this force more deeply, to control it better. So meditation connects you to the Force the same way people believe prayer is allowing them to make, like, wishes come true. Almost like if I pray and I ask for a thing, it'll happen while you're meditating. And something about that meditation is allowing you to bend the Force.

Cristina: Yeah. And the Force.

Jack: So God is the Force. The same way that this creature, who we call God and Full Metal Alchemist, that exists in between the gates.

Cristina: Is the forest.

Jack: Is the forest.

Cristina: It's the forest.

Jack: God is the Force.

Cristina: Yep. All right, so we're getting our energy.

Jack: From God or the forest.

Cristina: Or the forest. Yeah.

Jack: It's weird because there are versions of it that are sentient, thinking things. The question is, is that our perception of it, or is that objectively the truth? Like, do some people see it as a thinking thing? Do other people not? The flash talks to the Force.

Cristina: I think it depends on the person because Ciri saw it as a door, but in Fullmetal Alchemist, they see it as a gate, so it really depends on the person.

Jack: Well, both of those things are just a doorway. In Full Metal Alchemist, he saw what's on the other side of the gate, and it was this creature.

Cristina: Well, yeah. Okay, well, but that came from him.

Jack: Did Ciri see what's on the other side of the door, or did she just see the door?

Cristina: She just saw the door.

Jack: So we don't know what's on the other side of that door?

Cristina: No, no. Oh, you think someone's in there behind her? I mean, she might have. I don't know. I feel like it was her past memories, though, or something. And then after she was able to relive that, then she was able to finally use the Force.

Jack: Okay, okay. There was nothing first, and then there was God and darkness. You have to die out of existence to see the nothing supernatural. Okay, so that exists in such a way that even God in the darkness are younger, not older than the Nothing.

Cristina: Huh? What do you mean?

Jack: God gets his energy from the nothing. The Force.

Cristina: The Force.

Jack: Wait, the Nothing is the ultimate first thing.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And then God or death. It's not clear. God, death, and darkness all sort of happen simultaneously.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And nothing came first.

Cristina: Yeah. So the nothing. Of course.

Jack: That's my question. Right. Because the Nothing God from Full Metal Alchemist. The same f****** thing. And the consciousness of the Force. All those things have just always been.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: While God and supernatural had to come into existence.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: There's no explanation when or how. We just know that.

Cristina: Yes. We know that three things came out around the same time.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: He's got his sister.

Jack: And they were only predated by nothing.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Which arguably doesn't really make sense in Supernatural because nothing is literally a thing.

Cristina: Yeah. Whatever.

Jack: Depiction. I get it. I get it. You can't show us another thing.

Cristina: Yeah. It's like.

Jack: Get it. I get it. It's you. You're excused.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But looks pretty interesting to say that both the Nothing and God from Fullmetalchemist are the same thing. They're also this sort of shapeless goo or something.

Cristina: They're nothing.

Jack: They're nothing.

Cristina: They're nothing. There's. You're trying really hard to see something in the nothing, and that's why you get this shapeless goo.

Jack: Yes. But so are those two things the same thing? And is that the Force?

Cristina: I will say yes, because the Force.

Jack: Is pure energy and thus it is also shapeless.

Cristina: Should be. But we all see something in it. And that's why there's God in the first place. Because we got to see something.

Jack: Yeah. And some people don't see God, but they. But the question is, like, do the people of Superman have God, or is that just a thought that doesn't cross their mind because they're naturally connected to the Force Already they got pure spiritualism. No religion.

Cristina: I don't know much about Superman, though. It maybe. Are they spiritual beings?

Jack: I don't know. That's literally what I just asked.

Cristina: Yeah. I don't know.

Jack: So that's interesting to think that there is a pure or something that everything, including God himself, is connecting to.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Then the argument would be, is God just one of the beings most directly connected? And they can use larger chunks. A long time ago, we had an episode where we talked about God's existence being only there to try to create another God so that God can sort of die off finally.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: He's going to do whatever he can to create another God. Is it because it's really hard to teach something to use the force.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And so in small scales, adrenochrome is a way to connect to it.

Cristina: Oh, crap, I forgot about adrenochrome. That's. That's our planet's magic. Okay. Yeah.

Jack: It's a shortcut.

Cristina: It's our shortcut. Yeah.

Jack: So we don't have alchemy.

Cristina: You don't have alchemy.

Jack: We have adrenochrome.

Cristina: Yes. Forget about that. Yes. And God uses that. Yeah.

Jack: We have science and adrenochrome. Those are our two keys.

Cristina: I guess we do have magic. We don't have magic, but we know people who do have magic, which are the cat people that you mentioned.

Jack: Yes. Unless that's not magic.

Cristina: Unless that's not magic.

Jack: Which is why we need to go wage war and find out.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because if there is magic, then there's something we're not understanding about our universe, which is actually why we're here on Mars in the first place. Before the stupid f****** storm showed up. We're here to interrogate the f****** cats.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because we need to find out if it's actually magic. And because they're not talking, we can at least get out of them specific location. We need exact coordinates so that we can use the pyramid technology.

Cristina: Oh, the pyramid technology. That's so complicated. Oh, I don't want to ride that. Well, it's not really a ride. It's like beaming up.

Jack: Yeah. But we will be instantly there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We're using entanglement. It's just in one side, out the other, boom, we're there instantaneously. Yeah, but the idea is, is what they're using really magic or they just really, really advanced? Because if what they are using is magic, then we have a problem which is we don't necessarily understand s*** about our universe at that point. If it turns out to just be that they are so scientifically advanced that it looks like magic, that's acceptable.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because adrenochrome would be the closest thing to magic we have.

Cristina: I'm assuming that they're using adrenochrome.

Jack: It could probably turn out to be adrenochrome, that they're using it somehow. Because at the end of the day, they are f****** camp people.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We have cats on Earth that are just feline, normal a** cats.

Cristina: Yeah. When we were worshiping cat gods, were we not with.

Jack: The question is that those cat gods end up. Were they just like a cat drank blood that was drowning in adrenaline? Thus it is adrenochrome and this cat developed hyper intelligence. And then it's like, I need more of this to sustain this intellect.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then when that happened successfully, he then gave it to other cats, bringing their intellect up, making them superior over the humans who didn't have access to it and didn't know what it was. And then these cat people became the future cat gods. But it's all just technology because adrenochrome gave them the intellect to have hyper intelligent, hyper advanced technology sooner that's possible.

Cristina: But also there's a chance we just gave it to the cat. Like we do it with a beaver. We probably did it with a bunch of random animals.

Jack: It could. It could be the case. So the argument in there would be that we in the old days used to make sacrifices to gods, and the same way Indians used to or so believe that cows are gods. Imagine giving a cow adrenochrome, except in this case, it's a cat. And it was the Egyptians and they sacrificed somebody, gave them adrenochrome drenched blood to actual cat, an actual cat. And this cat, whether it be like a lion or something, becomes super smart, super intelligent.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And then bipedal and everything, like, just starts giving it to the other f******. And then all these other creatures start being born. Like, I'm in a. I'm aligned with adrenochrome and I have a cub. That cub comes out half human almost, because its physiology changes, being born with me using this all the time.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And then those become the gods and they're so intelligent that they have advanced technologies. And then as the rest of humanity across the world, starts gaining traction and becoming more technological, they dip and cross the universe to get the f*** away from the most dangerous creature. The human.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And they just kept evolving over there. The question is, are all creatures like apes as well? We know that if you give a creature adrenochrome and then you take away adrenochrome, they become feral.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But we know if you give a creature adrenochrome, they become this advanced version of themselves, right?

Cristina: Yes. Oh, you know, what did they get?

Jack: Did we as apes get adrenochrome and thus humans?

Cristina: That's why I'm gonna say yes. Because the cat people, we haven't given them blood or anything, and they're perfectly fine. We don't need blood either. We're perfectly fine if we came from something. If they came from something like a cat, the cat needed adrenochrome. But they're so far into the evolution of what they are, they don't need.

Jack: They don't need it anymore, so we.

Cristina: Don'T eat it anymore.

Jack: We didn't think of the rules of birth before because we know. Okay, so you get adrenochrome, you become something way advanced.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Right. So werewolf is the earthly version. Now, if you transcend, you become a. What was it? A wet judge. But if you get it taken away, you stay on this side and become a win dingo.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So you become the feral version of the wolf. Right. So werewolves is hyper intelligent, really over now, not everybody gets intelligent, but most creatures do. In the case of humans, we were just the apes that took the adrenochrome and then reproduced on adrenochrome before going feral. Because we're just thinking of the host taking it, not what their children would be like because it is blood and it has DNA and then they reproduce on it and we're just the next generation. And you repeat that. So several cultures still take it having more children that are less dependent on it and then again less dependent on it. You repeat this over and over until you end up at a creature that doesn't need it at all.

Cristina: Yeah, we don't need it.

Jack: We don't need it.

Cristina: We do, though, in that to use the power that it gives.

Jack: Yes. So we can still benefit from it no matter what. Yeah, any living thing that uses it can still benefit from it.

Cristina: Yes. Yes.

Jack: Okay, now back to the bigger picture. Is God who needs to create another God? Is this part of his plan? Is God who gave it to both the cat people and gave it to the he to the like the apes to create humans? Is God just running a bunch of these experiments wherever he possibly can? And like, the closest, at least that we know of, are the cat people. They're way up there. Yeah, but we're like as far as compared to them. I guess we're just not as advanced. But we're the next best. At least compared to everything else on this planet. But maybe there's way more.

Cristina: Yeah. And wait, are the cockroach people.

Jack: Could have been. Could have been there. They were highly advanced. Nothing left.

Cristina: I mean, what else do we have?

Jack: Lizard people, the reptilians. But the reptilians aren't even from this universe. They were invaders.

Cristina: They were invaders, but from another planet or something.

Jack: The universe.

Cristina: Another universe. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. They were traveling back and forth. That's how we ended up getting that.

Jack: Portal in the center of the universe, in the center of Earth.

Cristina: Oh, it gets so complicated.

Jack: Yeah. The lore of this is.

Cristina: Yes. Well, we know he wants to make another God to die. That's for sure.

Jack: I mean, that's. It does. Maybe not to die, but, like, get the h*** out.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Whatever the case might be, we wouldn't understand what the next step for God is.

Cristina: I think it's the die.

Jack: You think it's. What is death at that point? Because you need to transcend death, that's all. Like, at least our understanding of it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You need to get beyond the point of dying, then.

Cristina: Yeah. If you're a God, you don't need to die, do you?

Jack: I don't know what that would mean.

Cristina: What would that mean? I don't know.

Jack: Like, at least our version of death wouldn't make sense.

Cristina: Because if he's the one that's giving us energy. I don't know.

Jack: Also, weird thought. If God exists throughout all of time, wouldn't he already exist, the point at which he made the God?

Cristina: Yeah. So that doesn't work either.

Jack: That doesn't work. There's something we're not getting about that.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Unless God is bound by time as well, and he's just a demigod. And our understanding of demigod is what's f***** up. Because maybe there is a God who's everywhere, knows everything and whatever, but he is still stuck within time.

Cristina: But the guy that we're talking about isn't God, though. He's just a person who. Or a thing that had too much adrenochrome themselves.

Jack: Yes. Because they were made the same way. They're trying to figure out how to make us because they weren't given the blueprints for how they became God.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: They just got there through the processes that they're trying to replicate.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which then brings us to, like, vampire hunter dude, Dracula trying to replicate. And so, yes, he wants to. What is the series of steps that could lead to a perfect me?

Cristina: Why? But I don't know. I want to know why, actually. Yes, I definitely.

Jack: One of two things happen when you become godlike. One of two things. One, you completely detach and nothing matters.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Superman, after he outlives everybody around him and he realizes infinite danger is always going to keep coming. I don't need to stop anything. It's going to keep happening. Dr. Manhattan just goes. Literally comes here to Mars, sits and meditates forever.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Or Dracula, Jehovah, trying to recreate themselves.

Cristina: Those are types of gods.

Jack: Two different types of gods.

Cristina: And then there's Deadpool, though, and he's just random.

Jack: Yeah. Deadpool's a weird one, because he exists in some sort of outer dimension thing where he can just, like, kind of not die. And like.

Cristina: Although I guess he's like a greater God than those gods in a way.

Jack: Because, I mean, I guess if the problem is he exists in a panel situation, that's really hard to even explain what's happening. Because if we assume that the page is the universe within each box.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Every single panel is inside the universe, and the page itself is the outside of the universe. He's the only character we know who is aware that there is an outside of the panel, can jump from one to the other. So I don't know what exactly is happening there. He's just a real.

Cristina: Does he know that we exist?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: He knows that us, as the viewer exists, which is also weird. He knows we're reading or we're watching.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But that's why he doesn't even count. He's some sort of other s*** that's unexplainable.

Cristina: Well, that's way higher than the gods that we're talking about.

Jack: I mean, literally, Death is in love with the fact that she can't comprehend them.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which then makes Thanos a jellyfuck.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He says, oh, my God, but I want your attention, Death.

Cristina: But what is God? Well, he's not Deadpool, for sure, but.

Jack: He'S not the Speed Force or the Force, because he himself is trying to use it. And his way of connecting to it is adrenochrome.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: He himself requires adrenochrome, which means that he is not the Force. There is the other thing that is a force. And again, if we use supernatural, then we have Death, Darkness and God coming to be simultaneously or around the same time. It's not really clear who came first. We know God and Darkness happen simultaneously. We're not sure if death came first or second.

Cristina: Yes, but in our universe, our God is God. Darkness and death in one being.

Jack: That's not entirely clear, because if we follow the Bible, we literally have death, God and life God, Old Testament, New Testament.

Cristina: But they might have been the same thing.

Jack: Why would that make sense? Why would we have a guy who's all ruthlessly.

Cristina: Well, those books are wrong. So it doesn't even matter what those books say, do they?

Jack: What version of God are we using them?

Cristina: The one that we're coming up with, I guess, from what we see.

Jack: What do we see?

Cristina: He has to be all of them.

Jack: Then he wouldn't interact with anything. There'd be zero reason to interact with anything.

Cristina: Because he'd be everything but nothing.

Jack: He can't be nothing because nothing would be the force.

Cristina: Yeah, that's what I mean.

Jack: Well, then he wouldn't need adrenochrome if he was all of everything except for the nothing. Yeah. There has to be things he's not in order to try to get to that thing.

Cristina: Okay. Okay. So he has to just be.

Jack: He's some other thing that is independent from the force.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Which we. So at this point, we're saying that there are five natural forces. The weak force, the strong force, electromagnetism and gravity. And the force. The force, weak force, strong force, the force, electromagnetism, gravity. Where does God fit in that he uses.

Cristina: He uses them.

Jack: None of them, actually.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Well, okay.

Cristina: What is he.

Jack: We got to go into the most abstract version of. I guess a different episode. I don't even know if we had this conversation on an episode or if you and I were just having conversations separately. In which consciousness observes the nothing and then generates the universe. It sees the universe in nothing when it observes it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So consciousness exists and nothingness, whatever word would describe whatever's happening there, the combination of them equals the five forces. So God isn't any of the five forces. God is a product of some of the forces and then tries to use some of the forces. God has to just be a being.

Cristina: Okay, He's. But he's just a being that has too much adrenochrome.

Jack: Yes. And that level of adrenal chrome allows him to use the force and manipulate. I guess it's. Manipulate all of the forces.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: As God, you can create a planet, so you can create mass, which then generates immense gravity, which then has electromagnetic properties that uses the weak and strong forces. And you did that all by using the force. So all five forces. Yeah, all five forces are just products of consciousness observing nothing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It is so complicated.

Cristina: Well, hopefully these cats gets us closer to this problem. Or not problem, this mystery.

Jack: Yeah. Because if it turns out that it is, in fact magic. What the f***?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like what? How do we consolidate that?

Cristina: It's impossible.

Jack: It's impossible.

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

Jack: It's too complicated.

Cristina: It's too complicated. The force is science.

Jack: The force has to be just. Yeah, it has to be just a product of the Big Bang, like everything else.

Cristina: Yeah, has to be.

Jack: The Big Bang led to all. And the Big Bang is no more than just consciousness observing nothing. Right. It has to be. And that would answer everything. All of media, all of nature. All of everything is just a product of these five different forces that control everything.

Cristina: Yeah, I think so. That sounds right.

Jack: How are we able to move? It has to be that everything is inherently connected to the force and we just use things to control it more and more. But like the fact that I can talk to you right now. Something is powering me. There's something powering me no matter what.

Cristina: Yes. And it's gotta be the same thing.

Jack: The same thing. If I could tune into that more, that can use it more and maybe do weird things that seem unnatural because I'm using more of whatever is powering me.

Cristina: Mm So I had. I don't know, so many questions. I don't know. That's. It's complicated.

Jack: It is very complicated. But there is definitely a crossing, like crossing lines there. We know that at least all of anybody using powers is using the same energy potentially one way or another, different ways to use the same thing, whether it be higher. Because again, we are being kept alive. Right. Something is moving us and then gene mutation allows you to have stronger access to it. And then you got weird abilities. That makes perfect sense if it's already.

Cristina: Forcing through your body into all this though.

Jack: Zombies aren't really dead.

Cristina: Okay. They're still us.

Jack: Yeah. They just got way low brain function.

Cristina: But they are also after adrenocurl. Like what are they doing?

Jack: That's the only thing keeping them alive actually.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Because when they. I. I don't know how to hunts for people. That's not right either.

Jack: But I guess it kind of is. Hunting.

Cristina: It's hunting for people, right?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: What are they, what are they after?

Jack: They don't know what they're after. They just instinctively drawn to the thing that's going to keep them alive.

Cristina: Yes. And then. So they go hunt for a living person.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: And then once that person's dead, they move on. But.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: What are they getting from that person?

Jack: The blood probably.

Cristina: Yes. That's. Isn't that straight? Well, maybe. Right, like.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: What else could it be?

Jack: Well, we already also know that factually the difference between both a zombie and a vampire is how the energy is to distributed. And the one thing they have in common is blood. A vampire burns through it quickly and a zombie uses it slowly.

Cristina: What if they're actually after adrenochrome or the fear part of Adrenochrome? Since they don't need much energy, maybe that's enough to scare the person. But they still need to kill the person.

Jack: They need to kill the person. They gotta Eat. They're really eating for the blood.

Cristina: But they're not really eating. Because they're not eating. They can't eat. They're dead. There's nothing happening in their stomach.

Jack: They're not dead.

Cristina: But they're not. They're not you. That's not functioning.

Jack: Who says their body is functioning?

Cristina: Their body's functioning.

Jack: That's how they are moving.

Cristina: But their stomach is not functioning.

Jack: It might be functioning at a way slower pace.

Cristina: I feel like they're just murdering and that's it.

Jack: The fact that a zombie can starve in every version of Zombie except the ones from the Walking Dead. Oh, I guess in 28 days later. They starve in 28 days.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Okay. I was thinking, I guess, just of the Walking Dead. Okay.

Jack: So they can pose. There's something weird about their thing in Walking Dead that's unexplained.

Cristina: Okay. So normally they need something in their tummy.

Jack: Yes. The argument would be that whatever's happening in the Walking Dead is unrelated. But if we use like, 28 days later, it takes 28 days for them to starve.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Okay.

Jack: And the only difference between a zombie and a vampire is that a vampire uses the energy rapidly because it's throwing it into crazy high stats of you run faster, you think faster, you're way stronger. While a zombie is like, none of that s***. Just. Just stamina. The end.

Cristina: That's it? Yeah.

Jack: Just stamina. Nothing else. I don't move fast, I don't think at all. It's just survival and stamina.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And so a zombie can burn through it much slower while a vampire runs its energy supply quicken the needs more before they become feral.

Cristina: Yes. Okay.

Jack: Arguably, a zombie is always in its feral state.

Cristina: What about the feral zombies?

Jack: It's awesome.

Cristina: Oh, okay. She's in. What is it? Fallout. There's two different zombies.

Jack: Well, those zombies have nothing to do with blood or eating people. That's all radiation.

Cristina: Oh, yeah. Those are alive people. Okay. Yeah.

Jack: Feral zombies are people who've just gone crazy.

Cristina: Yeah. And the regular ones are just people.

Jack: Yeah. They didn't go crazy. They can handle being turned into whatever this s*** is.

Cristina: Yeah. Okay.

Jack: Okay. So we're very aware that this is. This just got complicated. At least now I'm more motivated to ask these f****** questions, man. These cat people, dude. Like, what if the answer is that it's magic? Like, what if we get there and we find out there was no technological advancement? They really just learned how to. Then what is happening? They must have the X gene.

Cristina: Or some equivalent could be it. We gotta look into their genesis. Yeah, we do.

Jack: Yeah, we have to. Because the argument would be is what's happening with Gryffindor? Gryffindor magic. Are they really casting a magic spell when they chant, do a thing. Are we gonna have to go question some of these people?

Cristina: No, I think they're using the force like the witchers and the witches from the witcher.

Jack: They're connecting to nature somehow.

Cristina: Yeah, I'm pretty sure they're connecting to nature.

Jack: And so even if it looks like no scientific advancement went through the cat people, it just might be connecting to the force somehow. So if we get back. Oh, it's magic. Well no, not really because magic is just a way of connecting to the force. The question is how is their method connecting to the force? That's really what we got to try to answer.

Cristina: Yes. I think that's the real thing that we need to figure out. Yes.

Jack: Yeah. Because no matter what, it's probably connecting to the force.

Cristina: Mm. We gotta look into their DNA as well.

Jack: Yeah. So luckily we have a couple here that they could. We could just run some experiments on. And when we got some answers off of the ones that we're not running experiments off of, we can then get to those coordinates and go find out what's happening over there.

Cristina: Yeah. See how it turned out. They're like X men.

Jack: Yeah. Well that's why I got the sub humans. Send them in. Go murder. And we got zombies.

Cristina: And we got zombies. Yeah, we have.

Jack: We have manpower. We got what we need.

Cristina: All we need are zombies. Really.

Jack: I feel like so many of them. If when we look at the great void we're seeing them. That civilization is huge. We don't have the manpower. One zombies enough if we can get it to bite somebody and then them try to save that person and it spread.

Cristina: A cat person. We had a zombie. We one of our cat people will.

Jack: Just turn them into.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then fling them over there and be like we can save them.

Cristina: And then. Exactly. If they don't know what that is, then we're lucky.

Jack: Interesting, because it probably left before any zombie related thing happened. Then we captured there now because they were coming in and out through portals at the bottom of the ocean. Lake Loch.

Cristina: Oh yeah.

Jack: So I don't know. It depends. We'll find out. That's why this interrogation matters.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's why we're here, to answer these questions. That's really the point. Anyways, we're running out of time here. So if you guys want to Find out how the h*** we landed on any of these subjects. Because the lore of this show is so complicated. I'm not even, like, sure I get it myself.

Cristina: We try summarizing it in an episode.

Jack: Yeah. That wasn't even that long ago. There's an episode recently of us trying to summarize the lore of this show. But you can find out about the first time we talked about cat people, about the time we caught cat people. We want an adventure to hunt down these cat people.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Same thing with the Reptilians. There was a whole problem there.

Cristina: Same thing with adrenochrome.

Jack: Adrenochrome.

Cristina: Creatures that were being created with it.

Jack: Yes. And we're sadly running. We're kind of bad people, but whatever. You know, we do things.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Science.

Cristina: And somehow that related to God. Somehow. I don't know.

Jack: God needs adrenochrome, too.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But, yeah, whatever. You could find all the episodes connected to all of this. You can find all those things on the official website greatthoughts.info or on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere you get your podcast.

Cristina: You can also find us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter usConvopod.

Jack: Yes. And remember to rate, review, and most importantly, subscribe to the show. If you are subscribed, you can get us anywhere. And then you can try. You can try to follow whatever crazy nonsense we're doing right now. And also you can find me on the stereo app having conversations with complete strangers. Sometimes like this, sometimes like when we have guests. Sometimes I come across trolls and we just troll.

Cristina: Sometimes it's live. Sometimes you gotta look at past stuff.

Jack: Yeah, Sometimes I'm there live. Sometimes you just check out past stuff. It's all there.

Cristina: And also tell somebody about the show.

Jack: Yes. Word of mouth, highly important. You can share the show by talking to people and telling them that we're trying to solve the world's most baffling problems. We're trying to find out what God is after. If cat people are using magic, if the Gryffindors are using magic, what the force really is. Is it the fifth. The fifth force? The fifth natural force of the universe? Yeah. So depressing questions.

Cristina: Yes. And this has been the Just Conversation podcast. Take nothing personal and thanks for listening. Bye. Just because people quit. Just because people are asking it doesn't mean the answer is yes.

Jack: Feces are mostly made of water, about 75%. The rest is made of dead bacteria that helped us digest our food. Living bacteria, protein. Undigested food residue known as Fiber, waste, material from food, cellular lining, fat salts and substances released from the intestines such as mucus and the liver.

Cristina: It doesn't sound alive.

Jack: It is consisting of cellular lining and living bacteria.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Poop alive.

Cristina: No, it has living things in it. But it's not alive.

Jack: No, the poop is made of.

Cristina: It's mostly made of water.

Jack: Yes, but we're mostly made of air. So what's Your point? We're 99% air and it still looks like there's a person here. Yeah, they are less air. They're less poo is less nothing than we are. F*** with it.

Cristina: Pooh is dead bacteria and living bacteria, and that's probably.

Jack: I don't know who's alive. And ironically, poo is more alive than we are because we are 99% air and poo is 75% water.

Cristina: But do we consider water as a living thing?

Jack: No, I'm saying that there is more percentage of living stuff because water is only 75% instead of 99%. It's not 99% water. That means that 25% is the other.

Cristina: Stuff, which includes living things. But we don't know what the percentage of living thing is. It could be like 1%.

Jack: Then they're as alive as we are.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Because we are 1% living thing. We're 1%? Yes. Actually, we're 1% anything. Our bones aren't alive and that's a huge part of who we are. That isn't air. So what percentage of us is like you? Think about it. Right now, we're breaking down the construct of what life is and we.

Cristina: And you're including poop in this.

Jack: Poo is alive.

Cristina: It's not.

Jack: Poo is the next thing we add to the list. The sun, fire, Poo.

Cristina: Doesn't he need multiple things to be considered alive?

Jack: Unless it's made of cells, in which case it goes straight to the top, regardless of how many other things it chucks off the list.

Cristina: But it's not really made out of cells. It's like cell bat. Like leftover. Leftover cells of what it was.

Jack: Yes, but it still cells. No, it's still living cells. That's. That's the problem.

Cristina: It says cellular lining. That doesn't mean. Good morning. Good morning.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in five, four.

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 guess what? In childish ways. I'm your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And if you haven't yet, remember to hit us subscribe button to get notified the second new episode release.

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

Jack: Yes. So be sure to find yourself a listening partner. Anybody, anywhere at all. You choose the powers in your hands. You have the power or I have the power. Which is what he man says.

Cristina: He says I have the power. He says, you have the power.

Jack: The power. And then he becomes he man. Cuz he's a skinny, scrawny little b****.

Cristina: He is.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: And then I thought he was always he man.

Jack: No, he has like a sword or something that turns him into not a b****.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Oh, see, that's a proof right there.

Cristina: He's not scrawny.

Jack: He's way smaller.

Cristina: He's smaller. Yeah. Yes. But it's like regular giant muscles becoming even bigger muscles. Like, it's not a huge transformation.

Jack: It's. He's a wide shouldered, non muscular man who then gets hit by lightning or something.

Cristina: And then he's got muscles. He definitely has muscles. Not as big as his transformation muscles, but he still has muscles.

Jack: You think he's muscular? You think he's like a. Because he's wearing like a pink. Like a car. A cardigan. Like a pink cardigan. He's like Fred. Like Fred from Scooby Doo.

Cristina: Oh, yeah. But he still has those big b***.

Jack: Muscles, like exercise t******.

Cristina: Yeah, he definitely works out.

Jack: I wonder what like muscular men think about that.

Cristina: About he man?

Jack: No, about me saying that they're exercise t******.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Because like that's what they got. They got exercise t******. Man b****.

Cristina: Their man b****.

Jack: They're moobs.

Cristina: Moves. Yes, they're moobs.

Jack: They're moobs. And like men. Men got a bunch of men got moves. There are muscle man b**** and there's fat man b****. But both are moobs. Yeah, it's like the guys who have the muscle man b**** are like, yeah, I'm so manly. And then they make fun of the guy who has fat man b****. But it's like you both got t***, bro.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You're pointing at his t*** and making fun of the fact that he has t***. But also, like, you got t***, bro.

Cristina: You could probably move those t*** around.

Jack: Yeah. You're so in tuned with your t***, you can at will move your t*** around.

Cristina: That's pretty.

Jack: You're more in tune with your t*** than women are with theirs. What? What is that?

Cristina: He Man's power. He becomes. He's able to move anything on his body. Like, what is his power?

Jack: I don't. What the f***? He just. I don't know. He just becomes like, Hercules, I guess. He's just like, I'm a normal guy. Then I got the power. Now I got, like, slightly better than average strength.

Cristina: And the sword.

Jack: And the sword.

Cristina: Although he could probably have a sword already. Like, I guess. This one's magical. It does things. Maybe.

Jack: Does the sword have powers? I don't know the story of He Man. We might have to do like a whole episode on He Man.

Cristina: All right. Because I know nothing.

Jack: Yeah, I don't know crap about He man either.

Cristina: How do we bring up He Man?

Jack: How do we bring up He man, what do you mean?

Cristina: Where did he come from? How is he here now?

Jack: I was telling the listeners they have the power.

Cristina: Oh, like He Man. Okay.

Jack: Yes. To choose who listens to the show. The way he man has the power to become slightly more muscular. And presumably a tiny bit probably unread. Like something that doesn't even register on a meter. If you tried stronger than he was.

Cristina: Before, maybe a tiny bit smarter. Like, I'm assuming it's not just his muscles. What if it's other things too?

Jack: What if all his powers are, like, a mild increase?

Cristina: Yeah. So it's like a little faster.

Jack: Yeah. Like, my IQ was 100 before. Now it's 103.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's like, okay, he man. I see. Technically, I can't argue that you're better than you were.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And like, anything helps, I guess.

Cristina: But he's not really superhuman. He's just better. Super him, I guess.

Jack: Not even like, super him. He's like, slightly better him. Slightly.

Cristina: Slightly better Helm. Yeah.

Jack: It's like, before I could bench press 200. Now I can bench press 210. No extra exercise.

Cristina: He has to have more than that. He's gotta have other superpowers. We just don't know his superpowers yet. But I'm sure he has something that makes him super besides his muscles.

Jack: All right, all right, fair enough. Fair enough. So let's. With no knowledge on he man, we don't have a single shred of an idea other than basic things. We know there's a place called Skull Mountain and there's a guy like a skull looking thing.

Cristina: The bad guy?

Jack: Yeah. I don't know if that's a mask he has or if that's like his f****** face or what's happening here.

Cristina: Yeah, I have no idea.

Jack: But like I'm. I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure we can piece together what this is about if we just use the tiny little shreds we have now based on what we saw in that photo. He has a pink shirt, he said, but like not an ancient pink shirt. He looks like a normal dude.

Cristina: I don't know. He looks medieval.

Jack: Fair enough. He could be medieval, but like when he turns into he man, he looks like way before medieval. Yeah, he looks like some caveman type of s***. So his powers to become barbaric.

Cristina: Okay, maybe. I don't know. His. His clothing change makes no sense to me. It's like less clothes to protect him. I mean it protects him, but not even his body.

Jack: Like you. Come on, let's be real. You think a stupid cardigan is gonna protect them? Against what?

Cristina: Nothing, I guess. But his whatever. His new clothes isn't doing anything because.

Jack: He'S kind of naked.

Cristina: Yes. It's like this is his sex clothes or something. Like, I don't know.

Jack: And it kind of is because he has like leather straps on or something.

Cristina: Really? That's what it look.

Jack: Yeah, it looks like he's getting ready to like, I have the power to be a dominatrix or something.

Cristina: Okay. Is that his power?

Jack: I don't know. Cuz doesn't look like he like a lot changes. And again, because doesn't look like a lot changes. We're assuming he's like just slightly better than average.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So like situation arrives. Right. He man is like, I don't know how to park here. This parking is too small.

Cristina: Is there parking? They have horses.

Jack: Yeah. He's gonna park his horse in reverse and he's like, I don't fit in this sequence of like horses that are following one another for whatever reason. And I need to squeeze my horse tactically in between that horse in the front and that horse in the back.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And I'm gonna somehow get my horse in the middle, but I can't, my horse is too big or whatever.

Jack: And then he pulls out his sword and he's like, I have the power. And like lightning hits him or whatever. Now he's half N and he's like, ah. If I Turn the steering, the whatever. What do you call the saddle? Not the saddle. The strap thing that you control the horse with.

Cristina: The steering.

Jack: Yes, the horse's steering wheel. If I turn the horse's steering wheel just enough, I can squeeze in perfectly fine, and then boom, problem solved.

Cristina: Wait, when he changes, lightning happens?

Jack: I think so.

Cristina: Does it kill the horses around him fast?

Jack: You know what? It's time for an investigation. Let's see that pulled up. All right, let's see what this looks like. Did he just shoot lightning off of us? What happened?

Cristina: He turned his cat into cat. An armored cat.

Jack: Thus goes the story of he man.

Cristina: How did he not kill it? So that's not lightning.

Jack: It's not lightning. It's power. It's the power. It's the power that he has.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah, he has. He told us. He straight out told us he has the power.

Cristina: Grayskull or something.

Jack: By the power of Grayskull.

Cristina: What is Grayskull?

Jack: It's a mountain.

Cristina: Is it the mountain where the bad guy lives?

Jack: I think so.

Cristina: No, that doesn't make sense. So the bad guy's giving him his.

Jack: Power or he's stealing the bad guy's power. Is he man at the back? Is he man the bad guy here?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Is he man stealing some s*** that doesn't belong to him and the other guy's just kind of trying to get.

Cristina: It back and the power is just transforming things. It could be him, but it could be others things.

Jack: But now I'm conflicted about what this power really does because it made him a little less gay or arguably a little more gay.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And the only other reference point we have is that he shot this, like, jizzy magic onto his, like, panther or some s***. Was a tiger?

Cristina: I think so.

Jack: And then the tiger got less gay or arguably more gay.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So it might or might not be making them gayer. And there's no way to really know.

Cristina: It's just protecting them. It's not really protecting him because it.

Jack: Made him have less armor. Or I guess he didn't have armor, so it took away the cushion between him and, like, a sword slash.

Cristina: Why doesn't he just wear normal armor? I don't understand.

Jack: Because he thinks he's a female in video games or something. I don't know.

Cristina: Right. So, okay, let's assume his armor protects him. So then it's just a magic power to bring armor.

Jack: Well, his cat has armor. His cat is safe as anything. Yeah, he clearly doesn't.

Cristina: We have to assume he's as safe as the cat.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: Because what is the point? It has to be to protect him like it protects the cat.

Jack: Why? I'm thinking he just gets. Why can't it be that he gets stronger slightly?

Cristina: No, no. I'm now convinced it's just to shield people with armor.

Jack: On the flip side, when he's parking his horse and he asked for the power, he didn't kill all the horses.

Cristina: No. They just are all covered in horse armor.

Jack: Yes, they all just became armored horses. And he's slightly smarter to park his horse. But also the parking got smaller.

Cristina: It did.

Jack: Because now all the horses have armor. Double edged sword.

Cristina: So he did not become smarter if that was his plan.

Jack: Well, he was average IQ before he did it. Maybe he does the I have the.

Cristina: Power thing and then he realizes what mistake he did.

Jack: Yeah, that 3 IQ is like, oh, I probably shouldn't have done this because now this for a fact doesn't fit. I now see how it would have fit. But also now factually it doesn't fit because there's more armor behind me, in front of me. And my horse is also bigger. So it got. Everything got tighter overall. Even if I know how it would.

Cristina: Have fit before, how does this make sense?

Jack: The question is, does he have the power to turn it on and off? Can he do it then turn it off and boom, all the horses lose their armor. And now does he retain the information and he can use at the park, I'm assuming?

Cristina: No.

Jack: So he just loses like if even if he knew, he transforms backwards and boom, it just left him?

Cristina: Yes. No, I guess not. But then like if that. I don't know. It's complicated. Like, what's the difference of him losing his clothes once the magic is away and him losing the memories? I feel like the memories will stay, but the clothes shouldn't. I don't know.

Jack: Like that's weird. Is he just gonna have clothes? Suddenly I get the clothes, like burning off or disappearing or whatever. And then you go about your day as he man. Did he have a name before he man? Whatever.

Cristina: Prince something.

Jack: Right? It has to be, right?

Cristina: Prince Adam, I think I read. Really like that? I don't know.

Jack: Cool. He's a prince though, this prince dude who somehow. What is he? That guy who pulled the sword from the rock?

Cristina: No, that's Arthur.

Jack: Arthur?

Cristina: Arthur.

Jack: Is he like the cartoon version of Prince Arthur?

Cristina: Yes, why not?

Jack: Pulls a sword out and then he's not Prince Arthur, but he's definitely he man. And what the h*** does that mean? It's like Guy dude.

Cristina: I guess he became more of a man. He is.

Jack: He was just Prince, but now he's not just a he. He is also a he who's a man.

Cristina: He wasn't a man before.

Jack: He was a he boy.

Cristina: He boy? Yeah.

Jack: He went from he boy to he man. That's his power.

Cristina: But what makes him more of a man? How? Shirtless, muscular, muscles bigger, make you more man.

Jack: Maybe it makes him braver too. Okay, so before he's like, oh, I'm too scared to park this horse. But then he doesn't. He's like, I'm confident now and I can easily park this horse.

Cristina: I don't know. I need to see this show. I don't know if he's actually any of these things or he's just a normal. Like, there's no difference. If you saw him before the powers and after the powers, there's completely nothing has changed except he's a little more muscular and he has protection.

Jack: And like, who's the bad guy and why?

Cristina: You said a skeleton, dude.

Jack: Yeah, I'm not sure if that's like what he look is. He is like walking, talking skeleton from Skull Mountain. Is it his mountain? Is he like the guardian of the mountain? Or does he wear a skull because he lives in the mountain? Like, is he a skull or is he wearing a skull?

Cristina: If there's magic, he could be a skeleton.

Jack: And he man is just stealing his magic then with the sword that probably belongs to that skeleton?

Cristina: Maybe. Yeah, maybe he stole this sword from him. Who knows, man?

Jack: Is there like an origin as to how the f*** he.

Cristina: Or he took it from the rock? If you think he's like Arthur.

Jack: D***. And then what would the conflict even be? He's the bad guy, Then it's the freaking. The skeleton's trying to get the sword back. Yeah, he's trying to reclaim his property because his powers. I was protecting it for who knows how long. It's too dangerous to fall into the hands of normal people. And then this troll popped up and took it. And now he just has the power to give random armor.

Cristina: I don't know. Maybe he regular villains just want to destroy the world for no reason in those cartoons. So probably.

Jack: So then the argument here would be the guy at Skull Mountain at Grayskull. One of those two names is correct. I know he said Grayskull, but is Skull Mountain called Grayskull?

Cristina: If there maybe there's two different mountains that have skull in the name.

Jack: Like every mountain in this universe is just a giant skull.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And he happened to go to the one with the sword.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Or he. No. Or he stole the. Or he took this. He found the sword in one. In Skull Mountain. And then the guy from Grayskull is like, oh, s***, there was a sword. I picked the wrong mountain to be in. That mountain over there had a f****** sword.

Cristina: But he says Grayskull. So the sword should be at Grayskull.

Jack: Power of Grayskull. So Skull Mountain is the other guy's mountain.

Cristina: Yeah, that's right. If there is a Skull Mountain.

Jack: Unless it's the same mountain. Unless Skull Mountain is Grayskull.

Cristina: No, there's a bunch of mountains that are all skulls. Skulls. Yes. Except one is gray.

Jack: Yes. One is gray. And the other one is just a.

Cristina: Bunch of skulls that make up a mountain.

Jack: Interesting. Interesting. It's not even really as much a mountain as it is a pile.

Cristina: It's a pile of skulls.

Jack: Gray skull is a mountain. Skull Mountain is a pile of skulls.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And the.

Cristina: It's, like, infused with dirt, so it looks kind of mountain like.

Jack: And then the skull guy lives in the Skull Mountain.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because he. He's a sentient skull. Like, there were so many skulls. Kind of like Pokemon.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Something just.

Cristina: There's just a lot. For some reason. Maybe he is a murderer. Maybe these mountains are because he loves to murder.

Jack: He's just making mountains out of human skulls.

Cristina: Yeah. I think there's monsters in this show, Right. He was attacked by a monster. I think we saw.

Jack: Like, we're forgetting the fact that there's powers here.

Cristina: All we know is the power to put shields on people armor and become.

Jack: Slightly more or less gay.

Cristina: Or more buff. Did his cat turn more buff?

Jack: Did his cat turn more buff?

Cristina: Think so. I don't know. Maybe. I think it did change a little.

Jack: Interesting. Okay, this is pulled up again, right? So he does this thing, a bunch of. Is this like lightning or some s***? But he's just. This clothes just rips off. He has like a wing.

Cristina: There's a skull behind him that's like a castle skull thing. Is that the Grayskull Mountain?

Jack: But was he already.

Cristina: He does turn bigger.

Jack: He did grow. Yeah, he grew.

Cristina: He grew.

Jack: He grew. Yeah. That's crazy. He really, really did get bigger.

Cristina: He did.

Jack: Fascinating.

Cristina: That is part of the power.

Jack: And, like, how do we get back to the image of this mountain? Like, there's information without. Without watching this show. We're going to piece it together, man. That's his. His. Hold on, hold on. Put sound on. Bring the sound in.

Cristina: This is a different video.

Jack: Bring the sound in spooky stuff. Oh, don't be silly. I'm not being silly. I'm being careful.

Cristina: And tiger. Scooby Doo.

Jack: All right. If you won't go with me, I know someone who will. Namely Battle Cat. I have a power of Grayskull. Yeah. Oh, that's Grace. But he's not at graysc Skull. Why is he just suddenly a gray skull? And he's just gonna give him confidence. So I was kind of right.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: And now what? Now he sounds like a thug. It's like, yeah, I'm ready G. I'm ready my G. Let's do this.

Cristina: He forced his tiger to transform.

Jack: And it's like tiger didn't even want to. He's like, I'm scared. Don't do this to me. And like, that's not fair. You're just gonna transform me to be confident. And it's like. So he's still scared inside that bigger thing.

Cristina: That's why he's not like, yeah.

Jack: Cuz he's not saying, well, yeah, do the thing. So I'm confident he's saying, oh no, that's not fair.

Cristina: You can't hurt inside of the tiger.

Jack: Yes. He's jackaling. And hide this m***********.

Cristina: Oh my gosh. That's so much worse. That's so horrible.

Jack: So he's kind of the bad guy to some degree at least. In that. In exchange.

Cristina: In that exchange, yes.

Jack: Cuz that tiger was like, come on, bro, you really do this right now.

Cristina: That sucks. That sucks a lot.

Jack: Sucks hard.

Cristina: That tiger is Scooby Doo, though.

Jack: Oh yeah. He was terrified. So he does get more confident. But he man didn't get more confident. In fact, personality wise, absolutely nothing changed.

Cristina: He's probably more confident, but he's already confident. So it's just the boost of.

Jack: So then we're looking at what I was saying.

Cristina: It's like a.

Jack: Like if his confidence stat is 200, then right now he's like 205.

Cristina: Yeah. That has to be it, right?

Jack: Yeah, it's like slightly more. It's like whatever. But it's better than it was.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which is not wrong.

Cristina: Yeah. But it has to be even more than we think. Because he turned a coward into someone who's ready to murder.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: So it has to be more than we are thinking.

Jack: But also the cat knows something that we don't. Which is why he was like, not cool. So the cat presumably remains the cat trapped inside the body of this thing that's gonna do everything. In fact, he said, I Know somebody who is willing to go in.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Battle cat.

Cristina: Yep.

Jack: A different cat.

Cristina: Yes. Which you said. Jackal and Hyde. Yeah, Jackal and Hyde. Oh, my gosh.

Jack: And he's, like, forcing the other to come out with his he man power Jizzy Magic power.

Cristina: Yeah. So if he does transform into someone else, too, it's probably not that different.

Jack: From himself, which is why we can't tell the difference.

Cristina: Yeah, that's why we can't tell the difference. Oh, my gosh.

Jack: Or in his case, it's a tiny little boost of all stats, but in the case of everything else, it's different. The whole other personality comes out. Then again, he has a f****** talking tiger.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like, it brings us down to the. Again, he's f****** Scooby Doo, the tiger.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And that's confusing.

Cristina: And there was a Grayskull Mountain, which.

Jack: He wasn't even at, but then he did the transform. Now we can say that that transformation is just showing us the original place he got the power. Kind of like Sailor Moon. Like, she's not suddenly in space transforming, but, you know, we see it like she is, because that's where it happened or whatever. Or when, like, the Power Rangers transform, they're not, like, you see, they're not, like, in some void of color.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: It's like, well, I'm the Blue Ranger. I exist in just blueness while I transform.

Cristina: So is the rainbow helping them transform? Are you saying that, like, the thing that's surrounding them is what's the energy? That's.

Jack: No, they just, like, disappear into some. What, the Power Rangers?

Cristina: Yeah. All these examples.

Jack: No, I don't think they're anywhere. I don't think they go anywhere.

Cristina: No, I'm not saying, like, what we're seeing is what's giving them the actual power.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Not that it's there or they're. They're transporting or anything. We're just seeing where the power comes from.

Jack: Could be. That's very fascinating, because in the case of he man, he's at Gray Mountain. Gray Skull.

Cristina: Yeah. And that's giving him the power.

Jack: Yes. So in the case of the Sailor Moon squad of Sailor somethings, they're all in space because they get their powers from space.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Makes sense.

Jack: And the Power Rangers are getting their color from a rainbow, apparently.

Cristina: I think so. It makes sense, I guess it's like.

Jack: I'm the Blue Ranger, so I get the power from blue.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Wouldn't that make the Blue Ranger the most powerful one, though?

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Because blue is the color that comes through best.

Cristina: Then Red is the weakest.

Jack: Yeah. But red is always a captain.

Cristina: There's something wrong with the Power Rangers.

Jack: Yeah. It should have been the blue one, be the captain, because he's the, like, ultimate.

Cristina: Well, I guess they didn't know about where these powers came from.

Jack: On the flip side, when the White Ranger shows up in the original Power Rangers, he became the captain immediately, which makes a lot of sense. He's pure light without it breaking down. Bam.

Cristina: Is. Is there a black one?

Jack: There is a Black Ranger.

Cristina: Is he also. Would he be super strong or super weak?

Jack: He should. Well, it depends. Right. Because there's the. Black is a controversial thing. 1. Because it's not a color. I'm not sure why it's. That's. Neither is white, to be honest.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But also kind of white. White is. And white isn't a color because white is the collection of every color.

Cristina: Yeah. So it should definitely have the most power.

Jack: Yes. Black is also every color, but it can also be none of them. So black is the lack of color.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But also, if you were to combine almost every color, but not every color, you'd have black sooner than white. When you add that last tiny bit, you get white.

Cristina: Okay, so he should be the second. Stronger.

Jack: He should be the second is the power tier in Power Rangers. Should start at white, go to black, then blue, then blue, then I don't know the rest. Then yellow, then about green.

Cristina: Should it be green, then yellow?

Jack: Yes, it should be green. It should be white, black, blue, green, yellow, pink, red.

Cristina: Yes. That is the rank. The strong.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Power Rangers.

Jack: That is ranking. If they're. If they get their power from the colors that make it through the spectrum. Visible, human. I guess. Eyes.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Then in that case, the Red Ranger would be the weakest. There's no way he could be the captain. Unless the captain has to be the weakest because he has the most perspective. And then we're talking. Then we're talking that the Power Rangers are incredibly philosophically.

Cristina: No.

Jack: And it's like the weakest must be the leader because you have the most perspective on struggle and thus you are the most appropriate to lead the rest of the Rangers.

Cristina: But as a character, does he seem to struggle the most?

Jack: He's always the angriest.

Cristina: He's always angry. That's so lame. Like red and anger. Okay. How cliche is the pink one involved with love?

Jack: Yes. She's always f****** the Red Ranger. Oh, of course, we don't get that direct. You know, it's a child's cartoon. Or not even cartoons like A weird live action mess for children. Yes, but like Pink Ranger is like the cheerleader who f**** the jock who's Red Ranger.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And blue is usually a nerd and yellow nerd too. I remember when the yellow was Asian which brought up the question of is she the Yellow Ranger because she's Asian.

Cristina: Have they all been Asian?

Jack: No. It began that the original Yellow Ranger and I'll explain why this is a problem. Red and pink were white people, yellow was Asian. Tell me what color the Black Ranger was.

Cristina: Hispanic.

Jack: No, he was also black, so quite possibly it was originally racist.

Cristina: Are you sure? Yes. Alright. Okay.

Jack: Factually. Okay, here we go. Nice and pulled up.

Cristina: This is all crazy.

Jack: Yep.

Cristina: Are you sure is pink really? I don't know.

Jack: Was it Kimberly and Trini? Where's the name Trini? I don't f****** know. Yeah, cuz the next one was Tanya. D***, do I remember them. So it's from left to right here we got Billy, the Blue Ranger. He's the nerd.

Cristina: Billy?

Jack: Yeah, Billy had to be the wackest name then Trini, the Yellow Ranger because she's Asian. Then a good old fashioned red blooded American, Jason.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Jock, sporty guy and he's f****** who? Kimberly, the cheerleader girl who was literally a cheer. She was literally a cheerleader and he was literally a jock.

Cristina: These are adults though.

Jack: They were like in high school or something. Oh, they look like adults.

Cristina: Yeah, they look like adults.

Jack: Yeah, no, they were like in high school or some s***.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: College or something. They were definitely in school.

Cristina: All right. Yeah.

Jack: And then Black Ranger, whose name was Zach because he's got. That's a cool last name. But he's got to be black because he's the Black Ranger and had you. How else do you, you know who's in the suit if he ain't the color of, of the suit?

Cristina: That is so ridiculous. Yes, it's just to make you remember the characters easier.

Jack: Yes. You think Red Ranger, who's inside that? Oh, the red blooded American Black Ranger. Who's in there? Oh, the black guy. Yellow Ranger. Who's in there? Oh, the yellow girl.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Power. Go go power. But I did get in trouble for this actually.

Cristina: And then they had to change it up. Are those the same people? Those are different people. This is a whole different show.

Jack: They are. No, that's the same exact show. That's the same team. Except they stopped the Black Ranger from being a black guy and they made him like this Asian looking dude and they stopped the Yellow Ranger from being an Asian and made Her. The black girl. So they kind of swapped it so they can still have a black person and an Asian but be less racist about it.

Cristina: They fixed the problem.

Jack: They fixed the problem by swamping their races.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: But like, everybody else is still the same. All the other characters are still the same characters. It's just the racist ones that changed.

Cristina: Awesome.

Jack: They were literally just addressing that problem.

Cristina: Yeah. That's so. It's horrible. It's all horrible.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: That's so horrible. Oh my gosh. Why didn't they just get rid of all of them? I don't.

Jack: Because it was too obvious. Right.

Cristina: So wrong.

Jack: Just make it so that somehow we all gotta leave and now it's less racist because we're all not racially associated with a color.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But no, they clearly obviously knew the problem was we're kind of racist.

Cristina: So we'll fire the only two different people and hire two new different people.

Jack: They straight out fired the Asian and the black for their mistake.

Cristina: Yes. Instead of like, maybe keep them but arrange them differently.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Maybe fire some black. I mean, some of the white people and you know, hire some.

Jack: Yep.

Cristina: Other things.

Jack: Just an Asian and the black have to be executed for another Asian and black. This is America. Don't catch you slipping up. And they were caught slipping up. Not that it was their slip up, but they were in the middle of a slip up.

Cristina: Yeah. Wow.

Jack: They should have been like, I don't want to be the Black Ranger cuz I'm black. That's racist. It's his fault.

Cristina: It's his fault.

Jack: It's his fault for taking the job. He should have been more woke. I guess this is before Wokeness happened.

Cristina: Yeah. Okay.

Jack: But he got what he deserved for taking the role. I should cancel him.

Cristina: What?

Jack: We should bring an entire movement and cancel the guy who played Zack for feeding into the stereotype. Same thing with the girl who played Trini. She needs to also be fired from life because. Because she took a role that was racist.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: We're canceling people because of their past, right?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Even if it was normal and okay.

Cristina: Back then, they had nothing to do with those decisions.

Jack: They picked the cat. They said, yes, I'll do it. They said, yes, I'll do it.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So they're just as guilty for creating these racist characters.

Cristina: So awful. Yeah.

Jack: When are we gonna cancel Power Rangers?

Cristina: We can't now. Wait. We're gonna cancel the whole thing?

Jack: Yeah, all of it. All the old stuff has to be taken down off of shelves. But like, here's the problem here's problems. Okay, so we know that whatever they're getting the colors from rainbows or whatever. You know what? You know what? Let's find a transformation. So we're gonna pull this up right here. I want to see. I want to see what it looks like. It's Morphin Time. Oh, because they're getting the power from the little thingy they're holding, Right? So we see the thingy they're holding even if they're not, like, existing inside of it. And they got a dance. Because they get their powers from dance as well.

Cristina: No, but there was lightning or something happening.

Jack: And you know what's interesting? You know what is really f****** interesting? Flash also gets his power from some sort of lightning field.

Cristina: He does?

Jack: Yes. The Speed Force looks like lightning.

Cristina: It does look like lightning. Okay, makes sense.

Jack: Okay, okay. There's a. There's a pattern forming here. Let's find out.

Cristina: Powers come from lightning.

Jack: Let's find out what it looks like when the sailor girls transform. Now we find out if they have lightning here too. She's gonna just be eating cheesecake, bro. Necessary for transform.

Cristina: They're having a whole speech before this transformation.

Jack: Maybe it's part of the transformation.

Cristina: Can you wash them?

Jack: Maybe that Kagome. They have a little doohickey, right?

Cristina: Just like Power Rangers.

Jack: Tell me. There's lightning, bro.

Cristina: There's lights, there's sparkles, stars, bubbles.

Jack: They got wands in their nails.

Cristina: They have specific colors too. Like Power Rangers.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: See, green.

Jack: Are colors really a source of power, I'm assuming?

Cristina: Yes. The power. The rainbow is the most powerful thing you can get powers from. Who knew?

Jack: So, like, catching a rainbow isn't even about the gold.

Cristina: But now they're in. What is this?

Jack: This is some void of, like, energy.

Cristina: It's not space. It's energy. Okay.

Jack: Did she become bubbles? And what, she's gonna turn to fire, right? Is that what I'm supposed to believe?

Cristina: Fire? Around her, these transformations are long.

Jack: It's like a good half of the episode. She literally has lightning, though. But it doesn't fit because the others didn't have lightning.

Cristina: I think they all have different things.

Jack: Their elements.

Cristina: Yeah. So first their nails change color, and then the elements. The elements First.

Jack: They're. Yeah. First nails and colors. How many of these girls are there?

Cristina: Five, six. A lot like the Power Rangers.

Jack: Wow. This.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: Oh, my God.

Cristina: These. Those are the extra girls, right? Like, they're not the. From the main team. Two of them.

Jack: Wait, we just saw other people transform.

Cristina: Yeah, they're like Extra sailor girls? Oh, no. They are the same girls. Okay. There's just five girls.

Jack: Interesting. That's crazy.

Cristina: There's not much difference, is there?

Jack: Except the lack of lightning.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: There wasn't lightning across the board.

Cristina: No, it's whatever element.

Jack: But then. Okay, so we have some patterns here. We have. He man had definitely some sort of lightning thing going on.

Cristina: And a gray skull, then.

Jack: A gray skull. Yeah, but the Power Rangers had lightning.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And color. The sailor girls had colors, but not lightning. No, there's a rhythm. Some. Some of these. There's. There's some collective force that everybody's getting their powers from.

Cristina: Yes. I think.

Jack: I think every power that exists comes.

Cristina: From the same thing that's transforming these people.

Jack: Yes. If you transform, there's one source doing it.

Cristina: No way.

Jack: And I think there's crossing lines enough that we can probably zone in on what it is. And I can tell you one specific reason why. Although he man has lightning but not color, and the sailor girls have color but not lightning. What is lightning if not light?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Which is just a pure plasma version of color.

Cristina: Yeah. So it's all the colors.

Jack: It's all the colors.

Cristina: Huh? He has all the colors because he's one. Yeah.

Jack: He doesn't need it divided. Yes, but because the sailor girls aren't one and they need to work together.

Cristina: But he works with the tiger.

Jack: No, he uses the tiger. There's a difference. Oh, he has the power.

Cristina: Yeah, he does. Okay.

Jack: He has the power and he can use the power.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: While the sailor girls are working together. Working together. They like the Power Rangers. Like the Power Rangers. And we see that there is lightning giving them. And then boom. The color. The lightning gave him the color.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: We're just not seeing the lightning in the part of the sailor girls. Everybody's getting their powers from light.

Cristina: Yes, they are.

Jack: They are?

Cristina: Yep. Wow. So you think they're really all getting this energy from the same place?

Jack: Yes. The Speed Force.

Cristina: Why the Speed Force? I don't understand.

Jack: Well, it's not. Maybe not necessarily the Speed Force purely. But there's like. The Speed Force is also. I mean, I guess it's not transforming anybody, but it's a source of power. That is light.

Cristina: That is light. Okay, but you think when the Flash gets.

Jack: Flash doesn't transform? No.

Cristina: Yeah, he doesn't transform. But somehow the Speed Force is causing other people to transform?

Jack: Yes. I think it's not just transformation, maybe. But all the good guys get their power from the same place. And all the people from the dark side of the Force as well. Because they got the power lightning thing.

Cristina: What? Bad guys in Star Wars.

Jack: But they got, like, the evil, like, the death lightning thing that they do.

Cristina: Okay. Yes, yes. They have the really weak red one.

Jack: Interesting. Because colors affect that too. They have the whack red light, but then they have, like, force lightning.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So they sacrifice the power of their lightsaber for other taboo abilities with the same energy. While the Jedi, known for using the lightsaber specifically. That's what they're known for.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Their focus is on it. So they have, like, the bright colored ones because they're putting their energy into being swordsmen.

Cristina: All right, this is so weird. Okay, so you're saying they're using the same energy source, but then we have another problem. What?

Jack: The bad guys, they're also using the power.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So all power comes from light. Another example of this is Superman recharges with sunlight. The yellow sun gives him his power.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: He's literally getting pure light to recover.

Cristina: But from the sun.

Jack: From the sun. Pure. Just pure light.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And the closer he is that he goes to space to recover faster.

Cristina: But that's not from the same place that everyone else is. If you think they're all getting it from.

Jack: Well, they're getting it from light.

Cristina: Oh, just light.

Jack: Yeah. The Speed Force is part of whatever light source.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Seems to exist in the universe because everybody in Star wars is also in a galaxy far, far away.

Cristina: So they're somehow using the light combined with items usually like he man has a sword. The Power Rangers have badges.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Sailor Moon characters have wands.

Jack: Have wands. Yeah.

Cristina: Oh, my God.

Jack: They have channeling tools.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: They have a way to focus the energy.

Cristina: Yes. In the Star Wars. Yeah.

Jack: Okay, interesting.

Cristina: Except for Superman. He doesn't have anything. He just uses. He just somehow absorbs.

Jack: He's become the tool. That's what makes him overpowered. He somehow figured out how to be the channeling thing himself.

Cristina: And that's why he probably has unlimited powers.

Jack: Yes. Because he can filter it through him. He doesn't need some other thing that he has that can contain only a limited amount.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: If he burns through some of it, it's immediately replenished because there's infinite light everywhere.

Cristina: But we don't see him transform. Is it because it's always on?

Jack: We don't see the people from Star wars transform either.

Cristina: That's true.

Jack: I don't think it's always transformation. I think the source of power.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now you can use the source of power to transform. And some people Do?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But not everybody does.

Cristina: No. It's so weird. Okay. Yeah.

Jack: Now, interesting enough, the Transformers are, like, sentient robot things.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Their power is literally transforming into vehicles and s***. Do they also use this sort of power?

Cristina: There's no way.

Jack: Organize a battle unit. We're going after them, man. Like, the origin of this s***'s crazy. They gotta, like, say their name.

Cristina: Well, he wants them to transform in order of the. What? He's saying.

Jack: Oh, God.

Cristina: It's important. But their transformation is pretty magical in that there is no.

Jack: Yeah, it's, like, so pure.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: There's no, like, outside influence on their transformation. See, this is. So what we're saying is, because they're machines, they don't have access to this power that exists pretty much just for biological life forms. They're not biological, although they're life forms. They are mechanical life forms.

Cristina: Not the same.

Jack: Yeah, they're somehow, like, synthetic to some degree, so they don't have access to it. It seems like the human element allows us to access this pure energy.

Cristina: So strange. I don't get how cars. Are they on a different planet, transforming. When they were on their planet, they were transforming already.

Jack: That's weird, right? When they were on their own planet, were they transforming into cars? Like, are they. The. Like, cars were invented because humans saw Transformers as well. That's what we're finding out, right? Like, trucks weren't a thing before. Somebody saw a truck, etched it on a f****** wall somewhere, and then a million years later, somebody saw, like, let's f****** make that thing. Yes, but they just saw the f****** Autobots or some s***, right?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Well, no, that's actually wrong.

Cristina: That's wrong.

Jack: That's wrong. Because there was a time that they would turn into animals.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah. Okay. Transformers, Beast Wars.

Cristina: Ew.

Jack: Giant spider thing. So this is in the prehistoric times.

Cristina: That's a cheetah. That's not prehistoric.

Jack: I don't. I don't know what the f***. Like, it's a giant bug. That's prehistoric.

Cristina: A rhino?

Jack: Yeah. But these transformations have no electricity.

Cristina: No.

Jack: They are really just these robots. But see, this kind of proves that they're just. They were transforming into whatever was in.

Cristina: The area before these things in the area. Is there actual animals there? Or are they just transforming into things that we see?

Jack: I don't know if there was anything else in that world.

Cristina: What if that's their imagination? They're creating these things that are super similar to what. What's been on our world for some reason.

Jack: That's weird.

Cristina: But this is Just imagination.

Jack: That's so complicated. For a couple of reasons. Because then we have to assume that even if they're on their planet somewhere far away from us at all times, they're somehow connected to what's actively happening on planet Earth.

Cristina: Even if they've never seen it. Anything.

Jack: Yeah, there's dinosaurs out here, okay. They can turn into f****** dinosaurs for that time. So they have some integral connection to what's happening on Earth. So the argument would be we don't see them transform using the energy because they're literally made of the energy and that's how they're connected actively to what's happening.

Cristina: But is Superman made of the energy?

Jack: No, Superman's channeling the energy. That's why he has to go up and recharge.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: They're not, they just have powers for.

Cristina: Whatever f****** reason they're made of.

Jack: Made of the energy.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: And so they're always connected. And so whatever's happening on Earth, us, the people who need channeling of energy, they. Some. They're connected to the Force. They can. They know they are the thing.

Cristina: But the Force is somehow connected to us though.

Jack: Well, the Force is the energy. It's just a name for that energy.

Cristina: The energy of Earth, of the universe. The universe. Okay.

Jack: They're not on Earth. And also the people who are using the Force aren't on Earth either. They're in a galaxy far, far away.

Cristina: They just pick things that are here. But maybe there are versions that they could turn into things that are not here but somewhere else. You know, like maybe there's plants on Superman's home planet that they could turn into, even though they've never been there either.

Jack: Like, interesting. I guess I would explain why there would be both a rhino and a pterodactyl.

Cristina: Yeah. Has nothing to do with Earth. It could be like maybe the rhinos from here, but the pterodactyls from another planet that has dinosaurs right now for.

Jack: Some reason, or through any point in time as well. Because you're connected to this force that exists always.

Cristina: Yes. It could be anytime too.

Jack: So rhinos and pterodactyls from Earth, even if it's from totally different times.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So d***. Is there anything else that uses the electricity then? We know if you're robotic and somehow sentient, you are like part of the energy. The energy's within you. It's what's powering you.

Cristina: You don't know any other transformers?

Jack: Anything that transforms? Somebody who has ability to transform into some other s***. Interesting. Okay, here's a weird one. Yu. Yu. Hakusho.

Cristina: There's transforming there.

Jack: There's a specific character. Kuramu Kakamaru, the f****** red haired guy who turns into this like white haired wolf thing.

Cristina: I don't remember him turning into a wolf thing.

Jack: Yes, but maybe he definitely does. I just don't remember if he has lightning associated with it. Yes. Now let's see. Let's see. Yes. Okay, that doesn't seem right at all. But let's see. Okay, what are we seeing? It's like smoke. It is like lightning.

Cristina: It is like.

Jack: It is like lightning. Lightning.

Cristina: It's like fire, but it's white like lightning.

Jack: Literally, lightning in the clouds.

Cristina: You saw that? Okay.

Jack: Holy.

Cristina: And then his hair is different. No.

Jack: Oh my God. No way, bro.

Cristina: I think it's always lightning. Like every transformation is the same thing, but they all look the same when.

Jack: Dragon Ball Z. Yeah, yeah. I think it's always lightning. Yeah, to the point that the stronger you are, you literally at some point just have lightning surging around you. There we go.

Cristina: There was some lightning. There was some lightning.

Jack: There's lightning. Oh, yes.

Cristina: Oh, there's some lightning on.

Jack: Pure light and lightning.

Cristina: Both of them.

Jack: Both Vegeta and Goku.

Cristina: One of them's dead though.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: You can still use this power while dead.

Jack: Because it doesn't matter. You don't have to be on. It's universal. It's anywhere you are at any moment, at any state, this energy exists.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: Fascinating. This is very, very fascinating. So we know every transformation. Actually, any use of power involves some sort of plasmic or light based source.

Cristina: Yes. All from the same source.

Jack: All from the same source. There's some sort of universal thing that everybody's tuning into, meaning one way or another, everything exists in the same universe.

Cristina: What?

Jack: I mean, it's possible they're all using the same energy. We could chalk it off to alternate universe or not. It exists in the same multiverse, then, because we have different universes with different Earths.

Cristina: Yes, that's exactly it.

Jack: But the power that exists transcends the concept of a singular universe because it's shared equally. Meaning the power exists in the multiverse.

Cristina: Yes. Oh, which makes sense. Even with Flash's power, isn't that in the multiverse too?

Jack: Yes, because he can travel to different universes using it. And he can travel to different periods of time of any universe using it.

Cristina: Oh my gosh. The. What's it called again?

Jack: The Speed Force. The Speed Force, which in Star wars is just called the Force.

Cristina: The Force The Speed Force and the Force are the same thing.

Jack: Yes. It's the universal energy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So I'm not even gonna call it the Speed Force anymore. It's the universal energy.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Well, actually, it's the multiversal energy.

Cristina: Multiverse energy.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: That you could actually travel through, but you can also use.

Jack: But also channel it through an object yourself. You can use it as a weapon. You can travel through it. It is God.

Cristina: Wow. Yes, it is God.

Jack: It is within everything, within everyone. You just have to learn how to use it or learn to channel it properly.

Cristina: Yeah. Oh, my gosh.

Jack: The universal energy is God.

Cristina: It has to be right.

Jack: It has to be. It's not thinking. Although they would tell you the opposite in Flash, because the Speed Force does have a mind of its own.

Cristina: It does care about things. It doesn't like to be used inappropriately.

Jack: Yes. Which brings up an interesting point. People who use powers incorrectly tend to be corrupted by them.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: So maybe kind of applies whether or not we're talking about.

Cristina: It's still a God, though. It's just. It doesn't have. You could be bad and use it. You just can't abuse it.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Like, that's all that it sees as wrong.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: But it doesn't really care what you do. Yeah.

Jack: Morally speaking, it doesn't give a s***.

Cristina: Yeah. Just don't use it inappropriately to it.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Yes. Whatever that means.

Jack: Yeah. Don't abuse God.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You can use God for whatever you want.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But don't abuse God.

Cristina: Yes. Whoa.

Jack: Interesting. Interesting.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: So going back to he man.

Cristina: Is.

Jack: He man abusing God? No. Because he's using tiny little doses.

Cristina: Yeah. I don't think so. He abused his friend, definitely. But that wasn't abuse of power. It was just abuse of animal.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. Because he's not abusing God, AKA the multiverse energy.

Cristina: Yeah. Maybe if you attacked everyone with the light, then it'd be inappropriate. I don't know.

Jack: Well, no, I guess it would be using the light in a sort of a wasteful way.

Cristina: In a wasteful way, yes.

Jack: If you think of Flash's interpretation of it, the. The energy thought it was being misused when he was consistently using it for selfish reasons, trying to alter time. And when the Reverse Flash also started abusing it, that the Reverse Flash literally had to stop using that energy and come up with his own version of the Speed Force.

Cristina: Okay. Yeah.

Jack: So because he was being purely selfish, instead of using it to accomplish simple tasks or something, it was being considered abuse.

Cristina: Yeah. And In Star wars, how does it turn dark?

Jack: Well, you start using it for. It's weird because not everybody gets corrupted. Some people just like doing bad things, but some people do get corrupted by it. I'm not sure where the line is though.

Cristina: What do you have examples?

Jack: Yes. Count Dooku is a very reasonable, clear minded guy who is trained by Yoda.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: He doesn't seem to have been swallowed alive by the Force. He's clear minded. He just. Yes. He just supports the bad side, but he's clear minded.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: While the Sith Lord seems f****** gone.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like he's not there at all. He's being manipulated by this evil energy, but he's also like corrupted and weird.

Cristina: Yeah. I feel like the Force, though, is damaging him. Like he used it so much that it's also abusing him. That's what's happening.

Jack: That's what they mean by abuse. Don't get addicted to the Force, just.

Cristina: Like the evil Flash guy. Oh my.

Jack: Yes. There's a. There's a rhythm here.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Don't get addicted to it and keep using it over and over and over and over and over and over. He man uses it to achieve a purpose and then doesn't just hang out using it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: When there's a purpose, when there's a reason, then I use it.

Cristina: And Goku, even though it's unlimited and he keeps going up, there's a rhythm to him also using. He hasn't jumped up or anything. He's like working his body to be comfortable with it.

Jack: His body adapting.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's not like drugs. He trains to be able to withstand it.

Cristina: Yes. Which no one else does.

Jack: Yes. While in the case of Vegeta, he literally gets corrupted sometimes because he's not using it. He's not like just training his way up sometimes. He just wants the power.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So he can't handle it all the time.

Cristina: Yeah. Oh my God.

Jack: Interesting. So don't get addicted to the Force is the ultimate lesson. Use it carefully, with moderation.

Cristina: Yes. And still you can. You can do whatever you want with it.

Jack: You could seemingly do whatever, but it needs to be. You have to be able to control it. There you go. It's hard to control. And if you're using it without being able to control it, that counts as abuse.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: What now? I guess that tosses out the window whether he man is good or bad because it ultimately doesn't matter.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Like morally speaking, the multiverse energy doesn't give a s***.

Cristina: Not at all.

Jack: Because he man is using it in moderation yeah. And that's what matters. And he's turning his cat into a f****** other thing. But his cat can handle it too.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Which is why it doesn't matter.

Cristina: Even.

Jack: If the cat hates it and he's being Mr. Jackal and Dr. Hyde or.

Cristina: Mr. Hyde and Dr. Jack hate it because it is killing him.

Jack: Then does that is the cat who's gonna get punished or is it he man?

Cristina: Yeah. What if it's the cat that's getting punished every time he does that?

Jack: Interesting. Because he man isn't like he can control it.

Cristina: He's fine. He's fine because he's doing it when he's ready. This cat's being forced.

Jack: This cat's being foreign.

Cristina: So like, maybe some years are getting off his life or whatever.

Jack: That's like.

Cristina: We don't know. This might be multiple reasons why this cat hates it.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. His life is getting shortened. Or he's slowly becoming evil and he doesn't like the bad thoughts he's having or something.

Cristina: Yes. Yep.

Jack: He man.

Cristina: But when it comes to the Power Rangers, do the villains also use this power or is it just the Power Rangers?

Jack: The villains do. In fact, they all have this weird lightning ability when they're showing up or some s*** like that.

Cristina: Do they also transport?

Jack: Yes. Holy s***. And they also use f****** lightning to get bigger and s***. Yeah, they get hit by lightning or something.

Cristina: Do they sometimes corrupt?

Jack: They're always corrupted.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: In fact, the only people who aren't. If we just think of the original Power Rangers, it's that lady Rita and her husband.

Cristina: These are.

Jack: They can learn how to control it, but they're forcing this power on other s*** that goes berserk.

Cristina: Oh my gosh. Yes.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: They force their minions to have the power, but the minions aren't ready.

Jack: They're not ready.

Cristina: So then. Yeah. Whoa.

Jack: Whoa.

Cristina: Wow. We found the connection.

Jack: Yeah. We connected everything.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Wow. That's kind of crazy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's kind of amazing.

Cristina: Mm. Did you think you were gonna connect all this?

Jack: H*** no. But I also didn't realize that there was such a pattern of electricity and like the sort of plasmic energy that exists not just in our universe, but in all universes within the multiverse.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's crazy.

Cristina: That is crazy. I'm guessing the Transformers can ever corrupt because they are. So they're always ready for whatever they do.

Jack: Yes, yes. Yes. That's why there's not like somebody losing their f****** mind. They're just in disagreement.

Cristina: Yeah. Whoa.

Jack: Interesting. Anyways, we're running out of time. But holy. I. The last thing I expected was to discover that there is a multiverse energy that exists within all of us.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That God is just a light. It's. It's a for. Yeah, it's a Force.

Cristina: But you don't want to call him the speed of Force. You want to call him the universal power. No. Energy.

Jack: Multiverse Force. That's what we'll call him.

Cristina: The Multiverse Force.

Jack: Yes. The Multiverse Force.

Cristina: That's not a catchy name, though.

Jack: It's not a catchy name, though. There needs. Because speed Force feels right.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And so does the Force. Those feel good. Yeah, I guess the Force is pretty sweet. That's okay. Well, they treat it like God.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It is religion to them.

Cristina: Okay, we'll call it the Force.

Jack: So. Okay. The Force is connected everywhere. Everything. Everything is connected by the Force.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Wow. I'd say. Look, I'd say you guys can find other episodes where we talk about this the way I usually do, but, like, there's. There's f****** not. Like, this is the first time this s*** has ever crossed my mind, period.

Cristina: Yeah. But we have talked about cartoons.

Jack: Oh, yeah. We literally have an episode in which we're talking about how Scooby Doo became Scooby Doo. If you want some cartoons in your life, is that the only cartoon we've talked about?

Cristina: We talked about Pokemon.

Jack: Oh, yeah, we talked about Pokemon as well. This. Whatever. There's some cartoons in there. There's probably. There's literally a s*** ton of episodes about. What is it? Morphers? Not Morphers.

Cristina: Transformers.

Jack: No, Transformers.

Cristina: Shapeshifters.

Jack: Shapeshifters.

Cristina: Oh, we have a bunch of shape shifting.

Jack: So many episodes.

Cristina: We also talk about what God could be. That's quite a few episodes.

Jack: Well, if we nailed it now. But yeah, there were a bunch of theorized episodes of what God could be.

Cristina: Yep.

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

Jack: Yes. Word of mouth is incredibly powerful. And apparently you do have the power. You do literally have the power within you.

Cristina: You just have to.

Jack: He man was right. You just have to learn how to use it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And not abuse it. Be kind to your fellow man and tell him, with my power, I Will introduce this to you and you will learn how to use your power to introduce it to somebody else. And the good word will spread.

Cristina: Yeah, don't be like he man. And forcing it on to someone.

Jack: Nah, nah, don't do that. That's bad. Be like a good Samaritan, not like he man.

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

Jack: By.

Cristina: Like, we didn't need the robe.

Jack: We don't need the rope. It's crazy, bro, but so many weird traditions to hold. Put your hand on the Bible. What if you're a f****** atheist? This is an easy one for you. You could totally lie under oath. Oath doesn't mean s*** because it's an oath to God who you already think is a f****** mythical.

Cristina: Is it really an oath to God still? They haven't changed that. They need to update that. What if liars. But you. If you lie though, you're gonna get in trouble. You can't just say, oh, but I was. I'm an atheist. So it didn't mean anything to me.

Jack: Well, no, here's. It's not. That's not how it works. The way it works is that they make you put your hand on the Bible and make the oath, swearing to God that you're not gonna lie. Their assumption is if they fear God, they won't lie. You're gonna get in trouble whether or not you believe in God and you lied and you get caught for lying. But they're hoping that you believe in God enough to not lie with your hand on the. After you put your hand on the Bible and swear to God, you wouldn't lie. Okay, but if you don't believe in God, that part of it means f****** nothing.

Cristina: No.

Jack: You just did some s*** that made them feel good.

Cristina: Yes. And made you feel awkward.

Jack: I guess if it makes you feel awkward to put your hand on the Bible. But at that point, maybe the Bible is doing what it's supposed to be doing and you're some sort of like, creature. You didn't even know you were a creature.

Cristina: I've never seen a Bible. You're like, what is this? Why do I have to do this?

Jack: That's crazy. If you live under a rock like that. The crazy rock to live on there.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: To just have never seen a Bible before. But there are so many weird f****** traditions, man. It's really odd how a courtroom works.

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. The Just Conversation podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and Published by GreatThoughts.in Fox, art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth McAllister with social media managed by Amber Black.
