Rambling 216: The Persian Golf Oasis AKA Atlantis

Were the Atlanteans real? If so, can we prove it? And if we can prove it, who went out of their way to hide the truth and why? The duo unpack the true history of the Persian Gulf Oasis people, their history, records of their existence and where they fled to. Uncovering where they fled, why, and who took the opportunity to suppress their existence becomes a tale as old record keeping itself.

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 Rambling Podcast. I'm your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is a show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. And today, there is quite the series of baffling ideas. Something that we've been kind of trapped. It's. It's an infinite, infinite loop of the same crap over and over. We can't even escape it. I've tried.

Cristina: You've trapped us in this loop. We're time travelers. Time travelers. Time travelers, like how they get stuck in a loop once they start using a time machine, which we did before all of this happened with Jesus.

Jack: I forgot that happened. And yes, absolutely is kind of sort of the case.

Cristina: Although this is somewhat unrelated. Right? This isn't related to Jesus.

Jack: I wish.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: No, it came full circle. This. This came full circle. It came full circle. We're trapped. I'm telling you, it's a loop. It's infinite.

Cristina: Okay, so.

Jack: So, okay, I need to, like, recap everything that has happened so that everybody knows, and I'm gonna give you episode numbers and everything. There's much more episode numbers that aren't in this list. I'm only talking about the recent stuff. There are many episodes from long ago that include ancient civilizations. That's talking about the Mayans, what happened to the Egyptians, what happened to the Mayans. Other episodes that include the Atlanteans roughly brushed over. Things that include unicorns, Rush roughly brushed over as well. Mythical creatures and things of that nature. But we have recently gotten stuck in a series that we can't seem to escape by any means. And it's kind of getting aggravating because the hole falls deeper and deeper. But I think we. We brushed over the main point, like, two or three episodes ago, and that gave us a direction as to where to go, which is how we landed at the most recent episode. And that took us here. So let me go through the idea. First we went, which was rambling, to 11. We were talking about unicorns. We were trying to figure out how to catch Santa Claus because unicorns have very similar magic. This started on a very ridiculous note, as usual. We f*** around a lot, and things sometimes make sense. You find two things that have the same abilities, more or less, and then you go and find the thing and try to, you know, make it make sense. So we went. We tried to break it down, try to understand how unicorns, their magic is so Similar to adrenochrome. And their blood is so similar to adrenochrome. And like, people really fixate on unicorns Dangerously, almost.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: Minus the fact that it doesn't change people.

Cristina: But they all seem to die and become alive. Even though it's something that keeps everyone alive forever.

Jack: Yes. After they become obsessed with it. Because the thing is, nobody ever gets a hold of it. The attempt to get it gets you killed.

Cristina: But even the people who had it died.

Jack: They didn't know how to use it. They were studying it. Everybody was trying to figure it out.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And died in the process. That's the problem. While adrenochrome also gives you immortality, it almost always works too. And like, you're kind of good forever. You might lose your mind if you don't get it, but you're good forever no matter what. Its effects are permanent. While it seems like with the unicorn magic, not so much, but. Okay. So we go through the unicorns and we find a couple of odd things here and there and we diverge away. We're like, okay, we're good. We got enough information on this. I found something real interesting, guys. There's an old equator. There's an old equator that encircles vertically instead of horizontally on how we usually see the map. And it has a bunch of locations. But it's really weird because there's a lot of structures along this. Structures should, in theory, not have known that the old equator exists because we hadn't come up with physics. We have.

Cristina: What episode is that?

Jack: That's episode 212.

Cristina: Okay. And the next episode, though. Yeah.

Jack: So we, we dive in and we are breaking apart the equal details of the equator. And it's.

Cristina: Is that when we start talking about unicorns again or we just. We don't mention the unicorns in the episode.

Jack: We don't mention the equators in the episode. We just, you know, we're going through it, we're realizing that it's kind of strange that people who don't have the science, they don't have the math, they don't have the physics, they don't have the astrological know how or the understanding of Earth. They don't have the navigation ability, capacity, or the ability to get anywhere fast enough for within 100, 200 years to establish a clean line straight across the world in which entire civilizations built their monuments. They must have started all at the same time to have them built around the same time. That was incredibly strange. Really, really, really weird. And in going through this right we find out that one, it's called the great Circle. That is the old equator. There are many ancient sites on it, but there's one particular impressive site, the Pyramids of Giza, which we've talked about before as being particularly impressive things that exist. And the Pyramid of Giza is lined up with the constellations, and it lined up in such a way that its coordinates are identical to the speed of light. If you simply move the decimal point and change no numbers, just hinting towards extremely advanced technologies or sciences that should have been impossible for them at that time. Obviously, the instant paranoia of aliens, help them figure it out, or whatever, those came into question. But there was only one way to solve the problem of the old equator, and it was to find out. It was to find out how exactly they got the information. And it all pointed to one specific thing, roughly. And we had to assert a lot of things, but it claimed that one of the places needed to have highly.

Cristina: Advanced technologies, which would be Atlantis, which.

Jack: Lands in the Persian Gulf, which is also in the old equator. So it was perfectly placed that there would be one group of people who have extremely advanced technologies that could then give it to everybody else across the old equator along the planet. All of this checks out, except we had to assert it. But we know already, through enough research, that this spot is where Atlantis is said to have been by many different sources, but, you know, incoherent and not the greatest traceable, important details. They called it a paradise. The Persian Gulf oasis is what a lot of places called it.

Cristina: Before, it wouldn't be called Atlantis Pisa. Atlantis means it would be in the Atlantic Ocean. And this isn't the Atlantic Ocean.

Jack: This is just exactly. Okay, yes, you're on the right track. So the Persian Gulf oasis was the original name of this place. And according to any source, they were always very advanced technologically. Okay, so we're done with that episode. We're like, cool. Cool beans, bro.

Cristina: Cool beans.

Jack: Cool beans. We got info on things and stuff, and it kind of made sense the way we usually do, because we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And then you follow up with, wait, but what about last week's episode about unicorns? I'm curious as to what's magic about unicorns. Is there a proof of magic? And to which I was like, fair enough. There was a lot of stories of magic, but it wasn't any proof of magic. So fair enough. I'd go, I go on this journey to show you the proof. I'm a pretty good researcher. So I go on my route and find the things I need to find my yellow brick road.

Cristina: And that's when we discover that guy.

Jack: Antonio Dracos.

Cristina: Yes. Okay.

Jack: Antonio Draco centers the picture. He's a weird individual. He was mentioned roughly before when we were talking about unicorns. Just glazed over. Some dude who was mentioned when we were talking about unicorns.

Cristina: This is when we go in depth of his history and all that with the unicorn.

Jack: Yes. So this is episode 213. But back in the unicorn episode, we were. As we were going through details of unicorn, there were three mentions of unicorns in, like journals that people kept back then. Very rough, basic. Oh, I saw a guy who did the thing. One particular weird one was a ship captain was keeping actual records of the passengers aboard his ship. And he noticed a couple of weird things, including the guy who was the merchant, who was nameless merchant at that point. And he had what he was claiming was unicorn horn alicorn. And he made some potions and things out of it. And he gave people. He didn't see a particular case of a person who showed up crippled but left perfectly fine. But he knew people were taking it. So he asserted that perhaps this person had taken the potion and it literally healed them. That was as close as we got to proof of the magic. And then you wanted actual proof. So here we are, we dive into the guy who had it. Apparently there were records of him existing in many locations. And it was actually really easy to track this guy down after you find his name. So we went down that road, which began with a lot of public records. Now, most of these public records came from the same sources which were old. Old ancient Greek records. I say ancient, but that's an exaggeration of 1700s. 17. It begins actually at 1730, where it.

Cristina: Keeps track of this guy that's not really ancient.

Jack: Not ancient. Old.

Cristina: Yeah, old.

Jack: Very old. Public records. Now, where these public records become particularly important is that they really do manage to track this guy's entire existence, kind of excessively. So we find out that he gets the. He gets the unicorn horn from some dude named John, and he takes it and establishes a school where he tries to study it with a bunch of people. And these people then go on a quest to find other people. They cross an area, people find out they had the unicorn horn.

Cristina: There's some war that breaks out.

Jack: Yeah, the war breaks out between the Turkish and the Russians just trying to get a hold of the magical horn that they thought they found. And, okay, a lot of things happening. So Mystical horn. It's called alicorn when you have it. It's the material that the horn is made out of. You can make potions out of it. Unicorns particular tears are also powerful. But we don't have this. This is just data being talked about. There is blood from unicorns that is also said to be extremely powerful. But again, we're talking about the horn at this point. But these are just data points that this man comes up with doing research and asking around about unicorns. Now the Greek merchant crosses through the entire Russian area, through the Turkish area. The war breaks out and okay, great, fantastic. They gotta get the h*** out of there. The guy who he showed it originally with, in that they established a school, gets murdered. Eventually he gets killed too. The horn disappears. Now, going backwards, we find out that the very first thing John the Russian said is that I found this very important thing that you must keep safe atop a mountain called Athos.

Cristina: Yes. And that's where the next episode comes in.

Jack: No.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Because the next episode is us truly trying to establish how the h***. How the. Like really, really. It's bugging me at this point. How are the people on the equator, realistically minus Atlantis, doing? How did. How did it happen? How did they put these structures on the old equator? So we go trying to find the missing link. We go and we find when language began in order to have records in the first place. Just talking, just talking. When they could communicate complicated structures. So we had to find out when conversation started. We have to find out when tools were built, because that's what's going to allow you to make these complicated structures in the first place. But just for the sake of it. We also went far back enough to find out how far back life began.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Where intellect began work, the conscious behavior that we now consider to be intelligent life that would later become humans began all these little details. And it so happened that it's way too far later after the equator. The old equator was 480 million years ago. And the beginning of this process was only about a hundred million years ago. That is an excess. And conversation really began, actually was 2.5 million years ago, when the intellect were aware of and the first words were ever spoken and the first tools were built. But humans as we know them right now happened about a hundred thousand years ago. And the first words that would later become sentences happen there, which actual sentences and complex language happening about 50,000 years ago, way far from 480 million years ago. We're way gone. And I'm talking really, really Fast right now, intentionally trying to do this recap as fast as possible, because there is a lot to go through. Now, the tools that we first found were the alderman tools. Those were what would later become the H*** sapiens. Atlantis is first mentioned in Greek records, as far as we knew. But we will correct that shortly when we put together many, many other records. Unicorn dust, unicorn horns, all mentioned briefly throughout this. And then we just quickly go over the prehistoric eras and the oldest known structures, which are way too new, with the oldest being about 12,000 years ago. And that is way too new compared to the old equator being 480 million years ago. The first advanced tools, not advanced tools, but basic tools being 2.5 million years ago. First words being spoken 100,000 years ago. First complicated sentences being spoken 50,000 years ago, and these structures first arising 12,000 years ago. There is a clusterfuck of incorrect timelines happening here. The solution we had was it's probably Atlantis. And we do a tiny bit of a deep dive there and really kind of comb through all the things necessary to find out. Yeah, okay, fair enough. If we insert this group of people who exist in the Persian Gulf oasis.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Then we solve a lot. They have to be able to accomplish things that seem impossible, but we say, hey, we figured it out. It had to be some. Either aliens or somebody was just advanced enough to do it. And we know that at least the Egyptians were way more advanced than we give them credit for. So, okay, we move on, and we go to Mount Athos, where we found out about the unicorns. This immediately gets astoundingly weird. Yes. When we find out. Hey, apparently, according to Greek records, the Atlanteans were there. Huh? The Atlanteans that were trying to solve the problem with the equator from.

Cristina: Yes. Riding on their Pegasus.

Jack: Yeah, riding on their Pegasus, landing atop Mount Athos for whatever reason. The same mountain where they're said to be unicorns. The same mountain where the Catholics are stopping people from going to the top.

Cristina: Wait, is that the same episode or that's the next episode?

Jack: It's all the same episode. This is the latest episode.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: That's 2015.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Where we see the unicorns are top of the mountain. The same mountain that a Russian named John said would have things. We also found out in a previous episode when we were talking about the records that two different records mentioned atop Mount Athos, they had come across unicorn horns.

Cristina: Yes. And we also found out that Mary somehow ended up there with a Pegasus, maybe. Question mark. Or a unicorn. I forgot what she wrote on.

Jack: She got there on a boat that got pushed off course on her way to Cyprus. And on her way to Cyprus, she got there, got lost, found this paradise island, and then she took a horse to the top of the mountain. But when you look at the mountain, that's kind of impossible because it's steep. In a really absurd kind of fashion.

Cristina: It had to be a unicorn.

Jack: It had to be a unicorn.

Cristina: Yes, yes.

Jack: Because traveling essentially vertical.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: The virgin thing makes sense because she was a virgin. Yeah. That was a very important detail that didn't make sense to you back then? No, yeah, no, of course. Yeah. She was on a unicorn that allowed her to go to the top of the mountain. This all fits. Little by little, all the pieces just fell into place. So this thing about the top of the mountain becomes quite intriguing. And we find out that the Christians stole a book from the Russians. There are many monasteries there. The Christians stole a book from the Russians and took it to the very top of the mountain where nobody travels. There have been 20 people in the last thousand years who have gone to the top, to the summit of the mountain. Nobody's allowed up there. It is the holiest ground, presumably because Virgin Mary went up there. Nobody's allowed to step foot up there, no matter what. We also discussed how Mount Athos came to be. There was a fight between Poseidon and Athos the giant, and either Poseidon threw a rock there or Athos was buried there, whatever the case might be. Now, weird things. Many relics are on this place. A bunch of these relics are on top at the summit, hidden with important details. But the most important is the fact that a pointless bestiary, that's what was taken. That's the book that was taken. A pointless bestiary. And there's only one thing that's particularly weird in that the mention of unicorns.

Cristina: How do you know that's mentioned in that bestiary? Are you assuming that it is?

Jack: No, because that is what the records say. It's a bestiary with the mention of unicorns. It is the same bestiary that was recorded in Russia. It was brought here as they were keeping records of all the different creatures, and then it was confiscated by the Christians and taken to the top of the mountain, where they refused to let anybody go. So a bcre that claims proof of unicorns, identifies them quite specifically, was taken to the top of a mountain. So nobody can look at it. Weird.

Cristina: Very weird. Okay.

Jack: And that's all at the summit of Mount Athos.

Cristina: And that is a good summary of.

Jack: Everything that we talked about, now we are caught up. So let's go through details. I found individually, just deep diving into the people we're trying to use to solve this problem, the Atlanteans.

Cristina: Okay, okay.

Jack: So first we have to keep in mind the Atlanteans is the name we're going with right now for very specific reasons which we will get to Atlanteans. And important because Atlantis important. Okay. So the Atlanteans were direct naval rivals of Athens, the Greek.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: The only thing that kept them at peace was Mount Athos, a trade point. They would arrive at Mount Athos on their Pegasus on top of the mountain, come down, trade with the people in the surrounding regions, and then leave. That's why Mount Athos is considered, although in Greece, a suffering state of its own. It is neutral territory between these two countries. Between everybody. Yeah, it's neutral territory on Earth. That's why there's so many different monasteries of different religions there from different countries and different belief systems. This is a peace location. Very, very important peace location. Treaties of all sorts. No blood is to be spilled on this mountain. Now, about the Atlanteans. There is a couple of things that aren't understood. Where did they go? When they were in the Persian Gulf, there was the Great Flood, which potentially cleared them out. That is when the Earth got flooded. Because of the position of where they were, there's a million rivers headed their way. While other locations would have sea levels rise significantly, although the water here wouldn't rise significantly, it would still head in their direction through the rivers. Many, many, many rivers. Which means they would suffer the worst consequences because from every direction, water is coming full force and it's going to smash into you. Crazy. Now, weirdly enough, we have situations. Two specific situations of people in Mass. 1, an entire series of population disappearing. The other, many people from a location disappearing. Those are the Egyptians and the Mayans. Very important that we mention these people right now.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The Mayans allegedly go underground. We know that there are complicated tunnels, people disappeared, no trace. We're assuming graves on the ground. But assuming their technology was as advanced as suggested, they could have had electronics, they could be plugged into the Matrix, which is an episode we did a long time ago talking about the possibilities of that.

Cristina: We got to find that yourself.

Jack: Yeah. The other thing is the Egyptians that happen to have quite complicated technology engraved into the pyramids of Giza, they have instructions to use heavy technology. They have instructions on creating batteries and instructions on using a singularity based entanglement device. Which doesn't even make sense. And that is ritual. Ridiculously advanced for people who were thousands of years ago when they built this. That's okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where'd you get it, bro? But. Okay, we'll leave that where it is and keep it moving. The Egyptians used to call the Atlanteans sea people.

Cristina: Okay. They live in the sea?

Jack: Well, they lived in the Persian Gulf.

Cristina: Is that a sea?

Jack: No, it's like a. I mean, I guess you could call it a sea. It's just very small. It's in between a bunch of countries in a small. It's more like a ginormous lake or something. It's a body of water, but I don't think it's a sea. Then again, you can call that a sea, I guess. It's not an ocean.

Cristina: Okay, fair enough.

Jack: It could be a sea. But they would call them the Sea People. Not that the. The name has to be literal or anything. Now, things we know about the Atlanteans. The Atlanteans are settled in the Persian Gulf at the height of their civilization's development. Cool. As recorded in Greek and Russian records. We confirmed this before that they were mentioned not just by the Greek, but by the Russians. And then as we kept looking, we found records from other people. I don't remember exactly who they were, but there were like six or seven sources continuously mentioning the. Actually, one of them was the Bulgarians as well. I remember that. So there, you know, there's a couple of records and mentions of the Atlanteans from different sources. So, okay, it's a little more valid that these people existed and perhaps helped to some manner, shape or form. Everybody who mentions them claims they are astoundingly advanced. More advanced than us is on every text possible. So one of two things occurred. As I said, either the Atlanteans were drowned during the Great Flood, which is likely a result of the comet that hit. Giant meteor that came from space, hit the water, created the flood, killed the dinosaurs, whatever. Presumably our timeline on that is messed up. And it wasn't the dinosaurs that died there. The dinosaurs died because of one rock hitting the Earth. But a different rock hit the Earth at some point, creating the Great Flood. Either that happened or predicting an incoming tragedy. Similar to the Egyptians and the Mayans, they fled, but in a different method. While the Mayans went underground and the Egyptians went to space, it is likely.

Cristina: They went to the Atlantic Ocean.

Jack: They went into the Atlantic Ocean away from the Persian Gulf, where the water is too turbulent. Anything that happens will shake that whole s*** up. But if you go to the center of the ocean, water is moving above you. You're nice and safe. Logic.

Cristina: How?

Jack: How what?

Cristina: That they did that. That's crazy.

Jack: How did they do what?

Cristina: Go in the. Under the ocean.

Jack: If we can go under the ocean. Now we're talking about people who are more advanced than we are.

Cristina: We can't go deep into the ocean though, right?

Jack: That's why we're talking about people more advanced than we are. We can go pretty deep. And we're like nothing compared to people who had the ability to submerge an entire city. Assuming that's the people we're talking about. That's beyond our capacity and our understanding. And again, we can go pretty deep in a tiny little submarine. Imagine people with the technology to travel around the entire Earth. Have sophisticated numerology in order to coordinate several different civilizations and align one to constellations and know the speed of light, cross reference these things and do it simultaneously. Like, okay. Definitely the least of our problems is how they did it. It would be too easy for them to do it.

Cristina: But why under water instead of in space? I guess if they knew, if they had the science to travel in space.

Jack: Why go to space if you don't need to go so far? I don't understand the question. Why go to space if you don't need to go so far?

Cristina: I don't know. It seems like they were into space.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: Why would they not want to travel space?

Jack: No, it seems like the Egyptians were into space.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: And it seems like the Mayans were into the ground.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah. I don't understand. What about the Atlanteans makes you think they were into space?

Cristina: Because I thought they were the ones that helped the Egyptians figure all that stuff out.

Jack: Yes, but they helped the Egyptians figure it out. There's no mention of them ever doing anything space related other than helping the Egyptians out.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: In fact, the other plethora of civilizations had nothing to do with space. Some people were just building clocks to tell time on Earth. Like really complicated exact clocks, things that measured exact dates. Like that's all just based on Earth. There was only one group of people who were. It seems like every group of people had a different purpose to some degree.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Some underground, some in the space, some tracking time, some tracking this and checking that. So it's not like they were about one thing. If anything, they were trying to capitalize on all the different things.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And they didn't have anybody capitalizing on the ocean, so they took that one themselves. Also one of the more complicated things, because you can go to space, there's no pressure up there. It's harder to go underwater because. Immense amount of pressure.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The further down you go, the less likely somebody is to follow you. Somebody can follow you into space. The Egyptians could have easily followed the Atlanteans had they gone to space, because the Egyptians themselves could have done it. But could the Egyptians have followed the Atlanteans to the deepest depths of the ocean? With that level of pressure, you could hide from anybody down there. Nobody will ever find you. In fact, that's literally the case. If you're down there, how the h*** are we ever gonna know?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: There's no way we can get to you. So those are the two possible situations. Now we have to consider the different people that mentioned the Atlanteans. Plato mentioned. And Socrates mentioned. This guy mentioned that. That guy mentioned. A whole bunch of people were talking about how they've been, where they've been. The first on record mention was in fact Plato.

Cristina: Yes, about. They're like 9,000 years more advanced than them or something.

Jack: So the mental. Actually that's not even Plato who said that that information came out much later, calculating the data that they had. Yeah. The information is that they were about 900,000 to about a million years ahead of the Egypt oceans at their height.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: So they must have peaked back then. That far back. And that they've just been coasting kind of from that point.

Cristina: Okay. And what the. Pluto.

Jack: Say Pluto.

Cristina: Plato, Plato.

Jack: It doesn't matter what Plato says. He was just the first dimension.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: We're talking about Philo. He claimed the Atlantis. The Atlantis was larger than Africa and Asia and that it wasn't even a great flood that took a mount, but rather an immense earthquake. This is directly conflicting with everything.

Cristina: Yes. So is it just another continent that went underground?

Jack: Essentially, he aimed towards the heaviest version of science. It wasn't some random event that. Like no biblical event. It just the tectonic plates shifted and this place sank as a result.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: His theory is it's still in the Persian Gulf at the bottom. Mmm. Weird. Totally different story. Now, he also claimed that it wasn't just technologically advanced, but the embodiment of a utopia. It was paradise.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Hence the name the Persian oasis.

Cristina: Mm. Makes sense.

Jack: Now, technologies were claimed to be more advanced than current day technologies by miles. We're talking that at that time, they claimed that where we are now is insignificant by comparison to what they thought those people were capable of. Yes, they Thought these people were capable of instantaneous travel from any point on Earth to any other point on Earth. That's something we didn't even know. Instantaneous travel. The unicorns and the Pegasus were just showing off. We got animals.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: We could just warp in front of you if we wanted to.

Cristina: Interesting. And some. Wait, what? Like, why would Greece even think that they could fight these people off?

Jack: I'm not entirely sure.

Cristina: That's kind of crazy.

Jack: It's crazy, right? But it also, although they were naval competitors, it was more about the territory, which is why the truce was settled and there was a neutral area established. Because who would show up there to trade? The Atlanteans. The goods were required. From who? From the Atlanteans. It wasn't that Athene's. You got to understand that also the people writing the stories are the Greek. So the Athenians essentially writing, oh, we were equal to them, but everybody else is like, not the bullshit.

Cristina: Okay, yeah, that makes sense.

Jack: We were totally equal and they were our rivals. And it's like, no, they could have. You were a speck of dust, a roach, not even an ant. You're some afterthought to them. But of course, you got to try to feel equal. But then, at the end of the day, they had everything you needed. They were way more advanced. They dominated the entire region. You completely, literally avoided that area simply because they were there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So rivals. Kind of a crazy, absurd stretch. Now we enter an interesting, kind of weird area. The Mayans have hieroglyphs and texts, writings that actually mention the Atlanteans, but they don't mention them so directly. They just brush over a couple of details. So in some of their temples, on the walls, and in some tablets, they claim that the Atlanteans gave them the specs necessary to construct their entire civilization.

Cristina: Okay, but like, it's showing like, people from water came to them or something. It's not mentioning Atlanteans.

Jack: It's not mentioning people from water.

Cristina: It's not.

Jack: It's talking about people from the Persian Gulf.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah, it's kind of almost directly mentioning them too.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The people from the Persian Gulf oasis. But I'm still calling them Atlanteans for a very specific reason. We'll get there. Okay, but so the Atlanteans from the Persian Gulf came, gave them a bunch of information, and allowed them to then construct their very complicated, advanced, ginormous civilizations. Some of the Mayan writings went as far as to establish that all former ancient advanced civilizations were descendant of The Atlanteans.

Cristina: Okay, interesting. Yes.

Jack: Some texts allude to Atlantis having reached their greatest height roughly a million years beforehand.

Cristina: Which makes sense if there's really. What did we say? Way long ago.

Jack: They're ancient.

Cristina: No, that. That's where Adam and Eve are. There you go. There's.

Jack: Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. But that is nowhere near the start, considering that a million years is still a million and a half years after the creation of tools. So, like, people were around for way long time. It was definitely far from the beginning. Now we go into the next interesting tidbit. Now I'm gonna start slowing down the Egyptian texts. Fascinating things. This was really hard to find, but there were quite a couple of tablets and reference points and translations and people talking about it. So I was like, okay, this one was way confirmed. The Mayan stuff, translations and whatever. The Egyptian stuff, clear texts. Now, one curious set of Egyptian texts discusses a chamber beneath the Sphinx.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Which contains a hall of records that has Atlantean texts and the data that was provided to the Egyptians that allowed them to construct their massive civilization. This sounds identical to the Mayans.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And it happened simultaneously across the ocean.

Cristina: Interesting, interesting.

Jack: And they claim the same thing.

Cristina: Yeah. Wait, that he. They also claim that they're part of them like the Egyptians are.

Jack: They claim that they got all the information that allowed them to build their civilization.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Now, they don't say, no, we were all descended from them. But they do claim that all the data and specs that allowed us to build our entire civilization and their own records as a replica, like a backup, are kept under the Sphinx. There's a hall of records, massive, with all that data down there. Some texts elaborate on the symbolism of Atlanteans and what they had for lions as a great protector. Creatures of purity, forgiveness and sinlessness. Very important things here. They almost worshipped lions. Not really. Like, they were very scientific, but they had this immense respect. Everything was symbology of lions. And there are really old, like, crests in the Persian Gulf that have been found with the image of what seems to be lions. These are real physical things you can go and hold. And it has got what looks like the image of a worn out lion because, you know, water wears it and, like, tears it apart. Makes it look like crap, but, yeah, looks like lions. Now let's go into some quick descriptions of. Well, I guess the only description that really matters about the Atlanteans. They come from the Persian Gulf, the Persian Oasis, if you will, which means they're the south of Iran.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They're bronze skinned, like the Greek. The whole region is the same. They're all. We always picture them as white people, but they're not, of course. They're just a bunch of tan people.

Cristina: The Atlanteans.

Jack: The Atlanteans have to be tan people. They're Middle Eastern.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They're all just Middle Eastern. This entire time we were just talking about the Greek who were bronze and the Middle Eastern people. Yes, they are all just a bunch.

Cristina: Is this important?

Jack: Bronze people? Yeah. So because of the advancement of text around the world, the slow development of writing decided that it was very important that we don't allow the colored people to be, I guess people of color is the politically correct way to say this, but the people of color, so that we don't allow the people of color to be better, to be smarter, to be faster than us. We, the white people, need to establish that if we're gonna mention the Atlanteans, they have to be light skinned.

Cristina: What?

Jack: They have to be light skinned because then the people of color are better than us. The white people. Sounds very familiar. There's a group of people who do this quite often, but let's proceed. So in order to suppress their technological advancement, intellectual ability, their physical prowess, it was basic to just deep dive and just, just, just totally collapse that plane of they were bronze and slowly migrate to where they fled. They have been and will always be in the Atlantic Ocean. Where they fled to. No, they didn't come from the Persian Gulf. That's why we have to call them the Atlanteans, because they've always been over here where the white people hang out.

Cristina: Okay, so that's why the name change is important.

Jack: Yes. All the official texts, other than the ones from the Middle east and from the east of Europe, all of them suggest that they were always light skinned people. But these are all the white people writing it, while all the people of color claimed no, they came originally from the Persian Gulf. We have a conflict of interest. They're called Atlanteans because white people dominated. Too hard.

Cristina: Of course.

Jack: Of course. Now, quite interesting, the differentiation happens in the first century. This becomes kind of incredibly important as we start to consider what else happened at that time, the existence of Christianity. And the Christians decided to do a couple of things with people of color, was make them all white if they were important. All of them. All the time.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yes, all the time. Now there's amazing details. Right, Interesting. So the push was kind of heavy and kind of successful to the point that we know them as the trend we're talking about, these translations in the original Greek texts, in Iranian texts, in even Russian texts, those are white people. They were always referring to these people as the Bronze people from the Persians. Persian Gulf oasis.

Cristina: Yeah. But then they were transformed into white.

Jack: They were just white people who.

Cristina: Blonde hair, blue eyes.

Jack: Blonde hair, blue eyes. Aryan supremacy and beauty. Okay, now let me tell you a story, a very important story. This story was really hard to track down. Was really hard to track down. But this story was pieced together by going through Iranian records, by going through Greek records, by going through Russian records. So a family was cast from the Persian Gulf, small family, and they went on a journey away from the Persian Gulf. They were trying to reach an island named Cyprus. On their way to the island, they landed at a location named Nazareth. When they got to this location, there was a huge conflict which was endangering the pregnant woman who was trying to get to Cyprus to give birth in the first place. They couldn't make it to the island. They couldn't depart from Nazareth. They had to redirect and they headed towards Bethlehem, safer territory. They took shelter in a barn from some people because they were just passing through. And that's where they gave birth. Okay, they stay here and, okay, this is our home now. This is where our child was born. 33 years later, this child dies and the mother decides, my mission was always to go to Cyprus and I will continue my quest to Cyprus. So she goes back to Nazareth, departs on her way to Cyprus, gets knocked off course and lands at Mount Athos. The suppression effort that the Catholic Church has done to prevent anybody from hearing this story.

Cristina: Where they originally came from where they originally came.

Jack: They weren't even from Nazareth. I don't even know what the point of hiding some of this was. But there's a bigger picture that I'm just not getting as to why this was important to do, other than the racist. They're not white, but also they come.

Cristina: From a fictional place or supposedly at.

Jack: This point, it's not fictional. Everybody has mentioned this place from every possible location.

Cristina: But the church.

Jack: But the church, at this point, it's not fictional. We're talking that there was a civilization, whether super advanced or not, there was something in the Persian Gulf, without a doubt. There was a civilization there. Without a doubt. If they weren't super advanced, okay, then they got drowned or an earthquake ate them.

Cristina: But Jesus is one of them.

Jack: Jesus came from the Persian Gulf. Jesus came from the Persian Gulf, went to Nazareth, then went to. To, well, Mary and Joseph were from the Persian Gulf, went to Nazareth, trying to go to Cyprus, were redirected to Bethlehem because of the conflict happening in Nazareth. They gave birth to Jesus Christ there, stayed there until his death, went back to Nazareth to then depart, going to Cyprus, only Mary, something happened to Joseph in that time, I'm assuming he died. And then on her way to Cyprus, got totally knocked off course from the winds. She had no idea what the h*** she was doing. And she landed at Mount Athos. She then went to the top of the mountain. And this is why we consider her store completely sacred, because she went there. Okay. The Catholic Church tried to suppress this. This comes from. Again, there are Iranian records. There are Greek records also important to mention. I didn't say this before when I started. These records are also in. This is why I started talking about the Egyptian and the Mayan records. Both mention these things in imagery, and they were completely separated. So when we get this information through media and things, there's almost an agreement to not mention them in tandem. They have to be mentioned separately. They cannot be mentioned together. That is a weird thing that's always happened. Why wouldn't anybody discuss these things back to back? But it is mentioned in the Mayan writings, it is mentioned in the Egyptian writings, it is mentioned in Iranian writings. This is mentioned in Greek writings. But you essentially have to piece the story together. Okay, so all of this information comes with a very specific purpose. Right. We have tracked the fact that the Catholic Church. We knew the Catholic Church has something to do with it. As soon as we got to a mountain that was, yes, riddled with monasteries, it immediately became really weird. And there was, you know, there were trickles here and there. They do a really good job of keeping themselves out of the picture while suppressing a bunch of crap. But if you look hard enough, it's there. You can't hide everything. There's too many moving parts.

Cristina: They're always involved in everything.

Jack: They're always involved in everything. So there is a road that just so happens to be really, really. It's actually at the beginning of the Bermuda, as we know, that takes us to. It's aiming in the direction of Bermuda, and it's a bunch of structures headed in that direction. So we can find the actual leftover traces or just ancient walkways and things. So we can see right here, I'm showing you some images. Anybody wants to look at it. We're talking about the Bimini Road. The Bimini Road is a road underneath the Bermuda, aiming straight at the heart of the Bermuda Tracker. We don't know if it goes as far deep as that because we can't go there ourselves because it's too deep. There's too much pressure. But we find structures underneath the water. Underneath the water.

Cristina: What is that circle thing? It's just a random.

Jack: I don't know what the circle is. This is just things underwater.

Cristina: And their favorite lion and their favorite thing.

Jack: A lion. Interesting. There's a lion underneath the Bermuda Triangle. Okay, okay, okay. So people mentioned in both the Egyptian and in the Mayan records how important, second, the lions were to the people of the Persian Gulf oasis. These symbols of purity and these symbols of holiness and these symbols of sinlessness. It's interesting that Jesus is always also represented by a lion. White Jesus, specifically, is represented by a lion. Very interesting fact. They converted all the little details about this civilization. The child that was birthed from their superior genes or whatever the case might be, had to become a white with.

Cristina: Like, what they did with the Irish stuff. Like, they didn't erase the things, they just changed it to their liking.

Jack: Yeah, they converted it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So then we go to the underwater city of the Gulf of Cambay. Now, this is what's interesting about this place. The Gulf of Cambay is the very tip of what used to be the Persian Gulf.

Cristina: Okay. So this is their old home that we're about to look at.

Jack: Old home. So when you look at this now, you start seeing some similarities, and it's.

Cristina: Like, okay, bro, an Egypt statue.

Jack: What looks like an ancient Egypt statue. But we keep in mind that the Egyptians got their specs from who? From the people from the Persian Gulf oasis. And this is located in the Persian Gulf oasis. Interesting. Yes, very interesting. We get here and we start seeing, like, bro, entire structures, entire buildings, civilization. Now, we can't find all of it because it's quite sparse. And they're everywhere you go, anywhere you find them in this area.

Cristina: Whoa. So there's really people living under there?

Jack: There were, at some point, in their homes. Yes. Fascinating, right? Structures of all sorts. Fascinating.

Cristina: And another lion details.

Jack: Another lion patterns. Physical proof of the things that the Catholic Church does not want you to know exists now. Yes. They'll talk about. Oh, yeah, there's cool things that people made over here and those cool things that people made over there. They don't want you to look at them back to back and then know about the records from the Mayans and the Egyptians and the Iranians claiming that there were people who respected lions, were highly advanced, weren't white. They don't want you to Connect these dots. They don't want you to look at this picture as a whole. So keep all the parts separate and claim they're different people. But all the people with the records claim it was the same people. All the people who aren't the Christians claim no, they weren't the same people. And they were way superior than you, the white people. Fascinating. Now, random bits of information from unicorns, because this is the end of the road right here. Random bits of information from unicorns. Trying to debunk the ideology of unicorns. This is just trying to run through all the information that I got. The tallest horse. Unicorns are said to be as large as possible. The largest horse is the shire. Now, there is an argument that the people of the Persian Gulf did in fact have a, that they bred horses, particularly shire horses. They weren't talking about interesting space horses or magical being horses or whatever, but the argument was that the people of the Persian Gulf oasis bred the tallest horses. Found a particular couple of them, they had a birth defect, and then bred these continuously into a genetic pool so that they would all have these unique features.

Cristina: They're not magical, they're just born that way.

Jack: No, because Mary still rode one to the top of the freaking mountain.

Cristina: That could be just a special skill it has.

Jack: It could be. It could be like a goat. Yeah, some goats can just travel vertically. Now, these were bred in isolation with the defect, so to keep them away from the ones that didn't have it, so that it's no longer a defect, it's just a characteristic. And often times because of their bronze skin, the best contrast was the lightest horse, the white one.

Cristina: Okay, but then where does the Pegasus come from? Like, how would they confuse those two things?

Jack: I don't understand where the mention of the Pegasus comes from, because the Pegasus only comes from the Russian and the Greek record. Iranian records don't mention it. The Egyptian records don't mention it, and the Mayan records don't mention it. So I, it's. This is that leads to an interesting place where there is some information actually missing relative to that. But we do have proof of the physical locations where these things are.

Cristina: Okay. Got unicorns. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. So the potentiality that unicorns were intentionally bred, and if we are also talking about. Now this is where we do introduce the aspect that might be considered a little bit magic, but it's not, it's technology. If we have the ability to breed these in isolation and get these genetic defects to be just a normal occurrence so that you have actual unicorns you understand genetics well enough to do this. On top of the fact that you have highly advanced technologies. It is possible that you created some sort of something thing that defies our understanding of how creatures work. Because you're so far ahead of where we are even now. Okay, so it's not magic, as opposed to just genetic masterpiece.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That might have some sort of ability. I'm not thinking flying. I'm thinking you're right. It's a huge horse with a horn that can travel vertically by climbing, not flying.

Cristina: Yes. That makes so much sense.

Jack: We've grounded the unicorn.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: We found the locations of the previous home and the new one and identifiers that tell us it was the same people. Because they had the same lion in two different locations.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And we know that according to the Middle Eastern people people and the Egyptians and somehow the Mayans across the ocean. We had a full story, actually more complete than the bullshit that Catholics and Christians talk about as to where Jesus really came from, which was from the Persian Gulf oasis. They were cast for whatever reason, which tells us they were probably not the best people. They were cast out of a place that is considered a utopia. Keep that in mind.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: And we know this is like the.

Cristina: Devil child, Like they knew.

Jack: There is a high probability of that because you're in Utopia. Why were you cast out of utopia.

Cristina: While you were pregnant?

Jack: Oh, you're pregnant. You must have done something. But this lady happens to have a unicorn, so we know that she must have gotten it from where? From the Persian Gulf oasis. We know that she was cast from where? From the Persian Gulf oasis. They rode this horse into Nazareth, then they rode this horse into Bethlehem. They had this horse seemingly for a really long time, and it lived until the death of their child. Then she alone went to Cyprus, failed to get there, got to Mount Athos and climbed the mountain on top of this very specialized horse. Then went to the summit where something weird happened and we don't hear about her anymore.

Cristina: She went back home. Because we also know that there's somehow a connection between that point.

Jack: Yes, there's a connection between the top of that. But here's the thing. By the time that's normal, I'm thinking that the move had begun from the Persian Gulf. So perhaps they were still at the Persian Gulf oasis, but they started construction at the Atlantic spot for some future event that either already happened or hasn't happened yet, but took place after the death of Jesus. And who knows, Maybe it happened, maybe it hasn't. Aiming towards the future of that point, it could still be coming. We don't know why so many of the Egyptians suddenly disappeared. We don't know why so many of the Mayans, or literally all the Mayans just disappeared. And we don't know why it was so important if there wasn't some crazy catastrophe yet. Was it important for the people of the Persian Gulf to also escape? We have three massive civilizations, completely advanced, all of which potentially added survival measures for an event that we haven't seen yet. And it's coming. Whatever it is, these three civilizations think it's coming. On the flip side, they all got their information from the same source. So maybe they were all paranoid about something that might or might not even be true. But they all got the information from the same group of people.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Okay, so it happened that long ago. Maybe, but we're talking about people who are a million years old. The scale at which they can calculate events is immense. It's very different than us. If you are that advanced a million years ago, what does that say about your ability to calculate to the future? The events could be millions of years ahead of us and we would never know.

Cristina: Okay, that's so weird that they didn't want this baby to be born with them, but then they would take her.

Jack: Back because she went alone to the top of Mount Athos and she left. They came and claimed her in whatever flying horse thing they had, because now we talk about the Pegasus isn't magic. It's a horse with wings. That, again, could have just been a genius engineering of breeding. Breed the biggest, largest bird to be bigger and larger, and then somehow genetically mix what matters into a horse so that their bones are incredibly thin and they're incredibly light and these ginormous wings can support the weight. It's not the hardest thing in the world if you are a master of genetics. We're not.

Cristina: But this very futuristic civilization, civilization could.

Jack: Probably easily do it. And a Pegasus is probably, again, just the work of engineering, the same way a unicorn is probably just the work of engineering. Now, this unicorn horn, how it has magic, how it has this ability to heal people. Again, not magic. But you've created something so pure and advanced, advanced that maybe its genetics could actually help humans. Again, this is just science at this point, but it's highly advanced science. So it's not magic. We're all thinking it's magic because we don't understand it.

Cristina: It's beyond our scores.

Jack: Okay, yes, but now it's just science. It's all science. Everything is science. Anything sufficiently advanced Enough. Any science, any technology sufficiently advanced enough is indistinguishable.

Cristina: Of course. Yes, that makes sense.

Jack: Now we have a full circle. We have the people who gave all the people on the equator the technology. They clearly do exist. We have the Catholic Church actively trying to hide it, which tells me more. They're real. If you weren't trying to hide it, I would be like, okay, it's just crazy people with stories. The fact that the Catholic Church is trying to hide it. No, it's real. It's real happening.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: As soon as the Catholic Church is involved. It happened.

Cristina: Hiding unicorns, Hiding Mary.

Jack: Yes. They were trying to hide by doing this. All of the efforts. Just think of what all of the efforts are. Hide the unicorns, hide the Pegasus. Don't let people go to the top of the mountain. Rewrite Jesus as the white guy. Rewrite the people of the Persian Gulf and erase their history. Just say they were always from the Atlantic Ocean. It's all in an effort to take claim and be the most powerful civilization.

Cristina: Of course. Yes.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: What?

Jack: But we do have an interesting problem now.

Cristina: What?

Jack: The story of Jesus. He comes out of the Persian Gulf. Well, Mary comes out of the Persian Gulf, goes to Nazareth, avoids conflict, goes to Bethlehem. Has Jesus. Jesus died. She goes back to Nazareth. She goes to Cyprus, then heads to. To Mount Athos, Goes to the top, then gets taken by the people of the Persian Gulf back to her people. What was the point of not having the child? Or was it Joseph? Was she loyal?

Cristina: Maybe she was on a mission. Maybe this is part of their plan.

Jack: Because the documents, the records suggest she was cast out.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Not that she left. She was cast out. That is very important detail.

Cristina: She was cast out, then they would take her back. That's the weird thing. So it had to do with Jesus or Joseph? Yes, yes.

Jack: It wasn't her because they took her back either. She was loyal to some sort of criminal named Joseph that they were not gonna keep. And she's like, well, I'm gonna go with them. And then when she was no longer with him, because the story goes, she got to Mount Athos, she went to the top of the mountain, she got taken back. So we don't know if it was Jesus or Joseph that was the problem here, but there was clearly a reason that they didn't want her when she was involved in this. Yeah, but as soon as she was done with it. You good?

Cristina: Yes. Crazy. I wish we could tell. Which is it? Because it could be Joseph. It doesn't have to be Jesus. Like he's an easy one to point to because he's the magic baby, but it doesn't have to be that fascinating.

Jack: No.

Cristina: Yeah. That is so crazy.

Jack: And that is what I've got. That's all the crap I managed to find with literal locations and photo proof of the same lion that they seem to highly respect being in two different underwater locations and that itself being converted into the story of Jesus as well. Beautiful. Beautiful.

Cristina: Amazing. It's all connected.

Jack: Nice try. Catholic church. I'm better than you are. Anyways, that's what I got.

Cristina: Well, it's mind blowing.

Jack: Atlantis might have been real or might be actively real at the moment. And they were the people of the Persian Gulf.

Cristina: And Mary is one of them.

Jack: Mary is one of them. So is Joseph. Yeah, as far as we know. Interesting, though.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So that's what we got.

Cristina: That's just so much information.

Jack: Yeah. I had to rush and we still made it exact, so. So you guys want to go through all these episodes? Feel free to do that. There's many, many. And there are. Aside of the episodes that we just mentioned at the beginning here, there are so many others. But before you do that, if you guys have any questions, if you guys have anything you want us to know, add ons, details that you're aware of. Anybody who can translate some of the things that are harder to translate and get corrupted easily, feel free to give us direct translations. Any piece is an important piece. You can find us on TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, all usconvopod.

Cristina: Remember to subscribe, rate and review the show.

Jack: Yes. And be sure to tell anyone and everyone that the Catholic Church is trying hard, but we are doing better because they're not gonna win. And I am a very, very, very. I'm really good at what I do. And like, you can't hide all the pieces. You can break them and separate them as far as you want, but a good eye will find them and bring them back together.

Cristina: Also, let people know who might like this show. Yeah, you should let them know about this show. Yeah, tell them.

Jack: Talk. Tell everybody.

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

Jack: But I bet that's how that works. I bet. Like, let's think about it, right? So serial killers, right? They. They have some weird ulterior motivation that makes no sense. It's this weird. I mean, I guess it makes sense to some degree when you think about it. That's why I know. That's why they're trackable. Right. There's a pattern. There's, like, a method to the madness.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The difference between a serial killer and a crazy person, is it. A serial killer isn't a crazy person. They're actually completely sane.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And that's the problem.

Cristina: Yes. Because they do have a reason.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: It may not make sense to you.

Jack: But they're enjoying what they're doing. They truly have motivation and reason. And just because you wouldn't go out and kill a specific type of person in a specific type of way does not mean a serial killer wouldn't go out and kill a person in a specific kind of way.

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor, and published by great dots.in fox, art by 0lupo, and logo by Seth McAllister. With social media, managed by Amber Black.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. And recently we've had quite the spiral of strange circumstances. And like, I. I don't. I don't know. 1. The hole seems infinite. I keep falling down the same freaking hole. The problem is that every different angle I look from it at, it's. There's so much more. Just so much more.

Cristina: More unicorns or more somehow.

Jack: All of the above. So the last couple of weeks, kind of like going on a month or a month and a half or something. I don't even know at this point. We've just been on this because there's more and there's more, and like last week we didn't even get to all this stuff, but this week we're not even gonna get to the stuff that we didn't get to last week, because this stuff that I'm getting to this week is more important than the stuff that was there last week. And the stuff from last week that we didn't get to is going to be in a different, different week's episode because it surprisingly enough connected to a bunch of other stuff. They had nothing to do with my original idea for what they were. It's like, oh, my God, this one. One. Let's. Let's take a huge step back. We're talking about a merchant, unicorns, Atlantis, an equator that exists there's no way nobody could ever know about. There is a bunch of advanced civilizations, a bunch of technology, people who shouldn't be places and know things that they do know. Somehow the beginning of humanity with information that they shouldn't have had, language happening way after a bunch of technological advancements. That doesn't make any sense. Except it does if you include Atlantis on the equator as the advanced civilization that's giving everybody the data in the first place because they were the first advance and thus explaining away most of this. But. But all of this, all of this comes back to one place. I thought it was originally coming back to the Atlanteans.

Cristina: Oh, I was gonna say that.

Jack: Okay, they're there, they're definitely present. But the Atlanteans apparently weren't even the point. But also, it wasn't the Greek, and also it wasn't the unicorns. And also none of the above. But all of the above at the Same time. So recap. There is an ancient equator, and the ancient equator has a bunch of civilizations that settled on it, but they settled on it about 480 million years after it was no longer existing. And there was no way for them to know it existed because science has not been invented yet for them to run the calculations that allowed them to even know the equator existed in this fashion.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But somehow they still managed to do this about 7,000 years before they would have had the knowledge. Okay, fantastic. Problems for days. But then we, you know, figured that although these monuments and these civilizations are highly advanced and intelligent for what they're doing without any of the tools, there was a one group of people who were well placed. Enough. The Atlanteans, that had advanced technologies enough, according to all the sources.

Cristina: Apparently, yes.

Jack: And they were positioned so tactically in the right place that they can reach all the places. And according to a bunch of people, not only did they have technology, but they also had flying freaking horses, which is a hugely important detail.

Cristina: Is there more to it?

Jack: There's. It's not more to it. In fact, it's exactly the same thing. But putting the exact same thing into perspective, okay. Changes everything. So we have a merchant in the 1700s that gets some alleged unicorn horn from a Russian named John. And then he takes it, and he shows a bunch of scholars. They study it. They go on some journeys to find other scholars. A literal war breaks out.

Cristina: Unicorn horn.

Jack: They all get hooked on alicorn. They form schools in. In covert secrecy to study it, because they. They're assuming that once people hear about, this crap's gonna hit the fan. And then when people hear about it, it literally hits a fan. A war breaks out between Russia and Turkey trying to get to the alicorn. And, like, okay, they disappear. The alicorn disappears. Literally. One of the guys dies, gets murdered. Yeah, everybody gets killed except the guy. He gets away, eventually dies too. And then eventually, some people in the future, about 60, 70 years later, they also pop up and say, hey, we found some unicorn horn. And they pointed at the same location that Jon said he got it from. They pointed at the same location, Mount Athos.

Cristina: And someone gave it to them.

Jack: They went there. They went there and got it.

Cristina: But they didn't say how they got it.

Jack: Nope.

Cristina: They could have just found it on the ground like a unicorn shed. This horn.

Jack: Well, you gotta understand that these records, which I mentioned last time, are highly unstable. Specific. They're very. It was the inception of record keeping, so they weren't being meticulous they were keeping records of everything, but not in detail.

Cristina: Well, would that be a solution of how they got the horns? If the unicorns are shedding their horns? Because it seems, like, really hard to actually do anything.

Jack: Unicorn, you can't spot one, you're not faster than one. They can disappear easily. They'll vanish right in front of your eyes.

Cristina: They fly? Sort of.

Jack: They can. Yeah.

Cristina: Or something. What is it again?

Jack: They can walk on thin air. They can just run. Yeah, they just run on air.

Cristina: Yeah. So it's really weird that these people would just randomly get them. Unless they all have a version, I guess, was one way to get these unicorns.

Jack: Well, what you're saying, actually, it checks out. It makes a lot of sense. I didn't think about that before, but, like, how are they acquiring it? How does everybody that goes up there easily find us? If. Unless. When they disappear, this is where they go to if there's like a reset and up here, they can't disappear because when they disappear, they disappear to here. That would be the only other answer.

Cristina: What. What appears and disappears?

Jack: The unicorns. When you're watching a unicorn, that they can just vanish in front of you, where are they vanishing to? Probably the mountain. Okay, so unless they're shedding on the mountain, like you say, which is a great solution to the problem, they're just walking around. Find it. But if that's not the case, then when they disappear, anywhere else, where they appear to would be that mountain, which is why people can get them there. Because they're not disappearing from the mountain. They just pop up right where they are again, because the mountain is where they're going to when they disappear. So unless one, then the other, they're either shedding, which makes perfect sense, and I think about. Or they're appearing up there. That's all I was thinking about. Like, when they do vanish, they must be popping up over there, and they can't disappear from over there because something sets them to that location. That's what I was thinking. But shedding makes more sense, animalistically speaking, makes a lot of sense. But also, we're talking about a creature that's literally magic and has only been seen in one place. So maybe it is resetting up there.

Cristina: But shedding makes a lot of sense.

Jack: If we're talking about a normal creature.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And yes, could totally apply. But again, we're talking about something that literally disappears in front of people's faces. It's not as weird as it has a spawn spot. Okay, now I need you to focus entirely and tell me why it's weird that it has a spawn spot if it can disappear into thin air. Why is that the weird part?

Cristina: Because. Why?

Jack: Why is it disappearing into thin air?

Cristina: But then that makes it feel.

Jack: Picking and choosing which thing is weird?

Cristina: That's just so weird. That's.

Jack: It walks on air.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Why is any one part weirder to you than any other?

Cristina: I don't know. That's just weirder. That is definitely weirder. I don't know.

Jack: It's weirder that they're spawning in the only place they've ever been seen. That's what you're telling me?

Cristina: Yes. Because they haven't just been seen.

Jack: There literally have only been seen there. There's no mention of unicorns outside of that.

Cristina: Then why would they be spawning in the spot that they're. I don't know. That doesn't make sense either.

Jack: What, that they're spawning the only place they've ever been seen?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's weird to you, that the only place they've ever been seen is where they're just popping up?

Cristina: Because then they're not running away from anyone. They're just, I'm here, and then I'm gone, but then I'm here again. Like, that's a really bad way to run away. If they're trying to get away from.

Jack: Okay, I see what you mean. I see what you mean. My idea would be that people have likely seen them in other places, but not sustained seeing them. So you'll be in the woods randomly and. Is that a unicorn? Oh, wait, there's nothing there because it disappeared in front of you and ended.

Cristina: Up on the mountain.

Jack: And ended up on the mountain.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Kind of like Bigfoot. Maybe it's just portaling itself right there. Okay, magic. It's not as weird, considering it can disappear. It can heal anything, it causes immortality. It can fly into nothing.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: A spawn point is what you find weird. That's the part that you're like, no, this sounds not real.

Cristina: Well, if you're there, I'm saying, like, that doesn't make sense.

Jack: Well, nobody there has seen. They've seen them disappear. Everybody who's been there has just simply come down with things from them. So they're clearly not running away up there. Or if they are, then they're shutting one or the other point being that up there, people are clearly at least close enough in proximity to come down with the unicorn horn.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Nowhere else is that the case. But people aren't saying they disappeared up there. They're just saying Oh, I got a unicorn horn. So they're just appearing from somewhere else. Where are they disappearing to? And if so, why aren't they disappearing from the mountain? Because it seems to be that if they're not disappearing from the mountain, but they disappear from anywhere else, it's a one way trip to the mountain from wherever they disappear to. Be the only conclusion. Unless they can always disappear, in which case you'd never come across a unicorn horn because they're always vanishing away from you. And they could show up anywhere on Earth because they can go anywhere. Unless there is a location that they would spawn to.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because how else would you even acquire the horn?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: If they're not teleporting to the mountain.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Then why would they chill up there? They could go anywhere. They'll be teleporting everywhere. Because they could just do that inherently. They'll poof right in front of you.

Cristina: And going, why is it so easy to get a unicorn horn?

Jack: Because maybe on the mountain they are just horses.

Cristina: They're just horses on the mountain.

Jack: Well, joke's on you, because that's literally what's said. So there's something about the mountain that strips anything on the mountain of all their abilities. That is one of the things I found about that mountain, Mount Athos.

Cristina: Then how are they flying on Pegasus up there?

Jack: Because a Pegasus isn't flying with powers. It has wings. It's a pegasus.

Cristina: So weird. Okay.

Jack: It's using its physical construct to get there.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Why is it that the Atlanteans that possess not only advanced technologies, but magic land and then walk down the mountain. Why don't they just float on down. There's something weird about the mountain.

Cristina: Okay, okay. So what's the story? They. It doesn't have it anything on. It doesn't have powers.

Jack: So basically, it seems that anything on the mountain is absolutely normal, but anything from the mountain outside the mountain is not. That seems to be the most consistent pattern about this mountain. Now it's to the point that they have established schools on that mountain to study the mountain, and they are still there today studying the mountain. There are schools and churches of many different disciplines on that mountain, studying that mountain today. Because allegedly the mountain itself is magic. But everything that in theory would have magic on the mountain isn't. A priest who can heal goes up there and can no longer heal. But why?

Cristina: There's always like that. What?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Wow. That is very strange. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. There are 20 different monasteries and schools up there. There are also. What is this called? It's a group of people that maintain it's a self sustained mountain. People aren't allowed on the mountain, by the way, if you're on the mountain, you're from the mountain. And if you're off the mountain, you're off of the mountain. And it's a chore to get up there. You need a permit. Only a hundred people are allowed up there daily. They are all men.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Women are not allowed on the mountain.

Cristina: Even if they're virgins.

Jack: Women are not allowed on the mountain. And only 10 non orthodox individuals a day. All the others must be Orthodox.

Cristina: Those orthodox means Orthodox Christians. Oh, they have to be Orthodox.

Jack: Yes. Only 10 people who aren't a day are allowed up there. Everybody else must be. And you need a permit. And you need to schedule this about six months ahead of time. And they will screen you to make sure who you are. They want to know your background, they want to know where you come from. They want to know who you've encountered before you step foot on this mountain.

Cristina: That's ridiculous. That's so crazy. It's very suspicious. But okay.

Jack: That the Christians are gatekeeping a mountain. That's magic.

Cristina: What?

Jack: And that's there today? That's all happening at this moment.

Cristina: Mmm. What do they know?

Jack: Oh, and any individual that doesn't live there can only be there a total of three days.

Cristina: A total of three days?

Jack: Yeah. So if you go and visit, you can only be there three days and then you gotta get the f*** out.

Cristina: If you have the permit, how long can you be there? Or that's.

Jack: The permit is only for three days.

Cristina: For three days, okay.

Jack: @ most. And you can only stay in three different locations. You cannot repeat any one location. Weird.

Cristina: It is weird that it's all too specific.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: What? A permit. Permit for what though?

Jack: Like to visit a mountain and you have to stay where they tell you to. You don't get to choose where you want, they're gonna choose for you. And you can't repeat places.

Cristina: Really weird repeat places. So they can move you. Like if something weird's happening in one place, maybe they'll get you to the next.

Jack: You wouldn't even know.

Cristina: Yeah. Is there any weird stories about people who visited though?

Jack: Two.

Cristina: Two? Just two. Wow. Okay.

Jack: Well, from the people currently living on the mountain now, two. But I've told you like 12 different stories about people who visited the mountain already.

Cristina: Yes, but like that's it. That still feels like not much stories.

Jack: Yeah, according to the people who live on the mountain. Because again, they can. The people who live on a mountain can leave the mountain.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: These people who don't live in a mountain, they are not allowed onto the mountain. But according to them, in the last thousand years, only 20 people have gone to the highest point of the mountain.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: There is a separate area at the highest point that even they are not allowed to go to. Oh. So let's. Let's begin. Let's begin. We did a recap. You know, we know about the Atlanteans and them landing on the top of the mountain to visit the Greeks and trade with them. We know the unicorns have been spotted on the mountain. We know that there are two Greek record keepers in the early 1800s, both that contained diff that had different unicorn horns that they got at the mountain according to themselves and that they wrote into the document they pointed at the same place. We also know that there was a Russian named John claiming to have obtained the unicorn horn that he then gave our merchant that he got from the same location. So we have a couple of instances about there. We also know that there are two very, very important books, bestiaries that just talk about the creatures of the time, Both of which mention unicorns. And they both mentioned the unicorns were spotted. None of them were written by any of the four people we've just mentioned. These are just different books that they obtained that mention the same thing. So if we go based on this, we got John, we got Antonio was his name or something like that. Draco or something like that. And then our Two historians plus two books, I.e. six mentions of the same location from different sources. Yes, about unicorns atop the mountain. A magic horse, if you will. So what do we know about this mountain? Why is this mountain so important? Why do people care about this mountain.

Cristina: Besides the weird stuff happening there?

Jack: Well, we have to go to the original stories as to the original story is told about this mountain. Okay, first mentions of this mountain in any form of writing. So we have to go to the first writings. We have two groups of people who almost at the same time started to record. We're talking about the Jews and we're talking about the Greeks. But the Jews have nothing to do with this mountain. Their records don't mention this at all. They're close and far enough that they're not bothered. The people who do mention it are the Greek, and it shows up in Greek mythology quite heavily, the mountain. So what's weird about the this instance is when the Greeks started writing down their mythology for the first time. We know there was some inconsistencies because it was narratives that were not written for many, many, many millennia, just told all word of mouth. So there's, you know, some kind of miss things here and there. But for whatever reason, during the writing process, as they refined and decided, this is the story we're going with. So that's how we ended up with Zeus and knowing Hera and knowing Hercules and the lineage. This is all because these are the versions of the stories we decided to write. You know, Makes perfect sense.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Even if there's a million versions of them, we chose one, and we. We're gonna coast on that until we get to this mountain. And in the text, they mentioned the lack of clarity. They don't know which story is true. Weird, considering you made them up and then wrote them down. Why didn't you pick one for this? Why was your response to Mount Athos? I don't know which story is true. So there are two different stories.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: One is the attack of Athos. Athos was in a battle with Poseidon. Athos is a giant, by the way. Oh, Athos is a giant. One of the many. One of the Titans, you could say. Although the Titans and the giants are very different.

Cristina: So is the Titan or a giant?

Jack: It's a giant. But okay. Anyways, so we have Athos, and he's in a battle with Poseidon. Poseidon, in the middle of the battle, goes down to the water. They're fighting on Mount Olympus. And he goes into the water to have the field advantage, because Poseidon and water, of course, Athos proceeds to, instead of following him instantaneously, to rip off a side of Olympus and toss it at Poseidon.

Cristina: That becomes mountain.

Jack: Later it does because it misses Poseidon, but he follows after the rock. He threw. He threw the mountain. And then he goes after to then continue fighting Poseidon. Poseidon dodges it. It hits the water. Poseidon then grabs the mountain and he throws it back at Athos, successfully hitting Athos, stopping the mountain. And the mountain lands in the water. That's the placement it landed in. And that becomes Mount Athos.

Cristina: So the mountain is on Athos?

Jack: No, it hit Athos.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: So that is one story. The other story is that that mountain was always there. It was just a mountain. And the fight between Athos and Poseidon took place on that mountain. And Poseidon won the battle, and he buried Athos beneath the mountain. That story is way more fascinating than the previous one, because apparently the body of giants would be consumed by the soil. Making it magic.

Cristina: Is that. That's what you think, like, that makes sense.

Jack: Makes a lot of sense. Additionally, magic does not work on giants. Interesting.

Cristina: Magic doesn't work on giants.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: And that's why the magical mountain, it doesn't have anything magical on it.

Jack: But the mountain itself is magic.

Cristina: Yeah. What?

Jack: The plot thickens. So those are what Greek mythology has to say about this mountain. Now let's talk about the facts of this mountain. The things we know factually are happening on this mountain in the real world. World. Mount Athos has over 2,000 monks living there in a total of 20 monasteries.

Cristina: 2,000, you said?

Jack: Yeah, 2,000 monks, 20 monasteries. Over 4,000 other men who work in the monasteries, not 4,400 men who work in the monasteries. And the mountain is self sustained. The food is grown on the mountain. They use everything. They got generators, which is how they power things. There's no power lines coming from outside.

Cristina: They don't have any real weird rules themselves about like, we can only stay here one day and then we gotta move to the next one or whatever. Like the guests.

Jack: Not that I know of. Women don't go on the mountain. People from outside the mountain must have a permit. Those are weird roles. They are very private. They don't talk much about what happens on the mountain.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Again, entry to the area is restricted and controlled severely. Only males are allowed to be there. Only males are allowed to live there. Only males are allowed to visit. It gets stranger. Oh.

Cristina: How?

Jack: Every animal on the mountain is male.

Cristina: That's very strange.

Jack: It's strange sort of at the beginning when you're like, oh, well, you know, all the birds they have in cages and all the cows they raise are just bulls. And like everything you. Everything they eat, everything they raise, whatever. But creatures visit the mountain.

Cristina: Yeah. There should be wild creatures.

Jack: Yes, there are. There's never been a female one ever recorded. That's weird.

Cristina: That's weird.

Jack: Them bringing, capturing and raising. Less weird. It's strange, but it's not like a phenomenon. It's just a bunch of weird people doing weird things.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: When you have birds freely flying and they're all male. And they're all male, you got something weird happening.

Cristina: Mm, that sounds very weird.

Jack: Very strange. Now, of the 20 monasteries, this is where it's gonna get really interesting. Like I said, there are many Orthodox, but there are some that absolutely aren't.

Cristina: There is.

Jack: Of the 20, one that is Serbian, one that is Bulgarian, and one that is Russian.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Important detail to remember.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: There are some people that live there that are called the sktei and they Live in villages on the mountain and they are the ones who farm. They are also the handiworkers of the area. They are the production workers.

Cristina: Are they all male also?

Jack: Everybody on the mountain, without exception, is male. There is no exception to this rule. No woman will ever be on this mountain. All male, no matter what you think, no matter what the question might be. They're male? Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Always and forever.

Cristina: Doesn't make sense, but okay.

Jack: They are f****** each other if they have to. All guys? Why don't know. All guys? Yeah, Just all guys. Any question about gender? Men. Yes.

Cristina: Are we having children?

Jack: No, they're all men. They couldn't.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The logic of men still applies. They are just as men. As men could be. They cannot give birth. No, they're men. Now, these monasteries are not just research facilities and religious constructs for people of faith. They also possess holy relics and they have icons as well. And they have mosaics of great value. They the usual things that Christians do in taking a bunch of important historical things and instead of showing the world, hiding them from everybody. Yeah, you know the sketchy thing that Catholics and Christians just love to do about hiding things? So that's happening there in abundance now. Although many of these things have been lost, though people have gone there and stolen crap. They have set fire to things. There was a time in history when they were being raided and pillaged on this mountain and a bunch of crap was stolen. But they apparently had so much crap that less than 1% of it was actually taken. But so much was taken that everybody that left left rich. So you have all the crap you're telling me?

Cristina: Yes. How?

Jack: How exactly how and why?

Cristina: Why?

Jack: What's the need to have this all up here? Very interesting. People who come to the mountain as visitors are not allowed to see any of the relics that aren't on display in their libraries. They have museums and they have vaults that contain the majority of them. The only ones you can go see are the ones in the libraries. So they're hiding religious artifacts and not explaining what they are or why they have them, which is weird. If you want people to have faith and to trust and to understand religion. The fact that you're hiding parts of.

Cristina: Your religion, the magical parts, probably.

Jack: Magical parts, probably. Now, important detail. Some of these things are actual religious texts, parts of the Bible, the original books from the Bible. Apparently there are more than just the books that we took away from the Jews, but other books that have just never even been mentioned are here.

Cristina: Why? Why are they hiding everything? Ah, okay.

Jack: I don't know, because they're doing the same thing in Italy.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Just a lot of hidden things.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: At this point, I'm starting to think we just need to go gather as people, like people of Earth. Think about this. We need to gather and just. Let's just go murder everybody in both of these locations and take all the stuff. They're not gonna let us take it easily. So we kill them all and take it and then find out why they felt the need to lie to all of you and hide what you guys. If you.

Cristina: It's probably impossible to steal whatever it is they have, though.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: Because other people try to do it and they stole things. But it was the obvious things, not the hidden things. The hidden things are probably super well.

Jack: Hidden because there are people fighting back. You do not have an opportunity to thoroughly Look. Now, if 100,000 people show up to this mountain and murder the 2,000 people there, now you just have nothing but time. Comb through this mountain and find everything that these people have hidden. God knows why. Let's go to Italy. Let's incarcerate every single one of these people, and we're gonna go into every one of these buildings, into every chamber. We're gonna break everything we can to get through every possible wall and see every room and capture every single piece of everything and publicize all of it. That needs to happen at some point. That needs to happen at some point.

Cristina: They're using magic to hide these things. It might not be possible.

Jack: According to the logic of this mountain, that would not be possible.

Cristina: Oh, yes. Because magic isn't working.

Jack: There must just be chambers, which means we can't just off every one of them and get to them easy.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now, one. One artifact, one book, a very important book is on this mountain. But you were asking about weird rules. One of the weird rules, like I said before, is that they themselves are not allowed to go to the top of the mountain, to the highest point. They are not allowed at the highest point of the mountain. In the last thousand years, only 20 individuals have ever gone to the highest point of the mountain. Let's talk about the highest point of the mountain. It is visibly the only green part of the mountain. There is grass and trees at the top. Not snow.

Cristina: Not snow. That is weird. That is weird. Okay.

Jack: Very strange. The top of the mountain contains a single relic, a single book.

Cristina: What's in that book?

Jack: A bestiary.

Cristina: Weird. What?

Jack: Weird.

Cristina: Why is that? What's there?

Jack: That isn't the craziest part. The Russian monastery has been in a continuous battle to reclaim the bestiary that was written by the Russians. And the Orthodox Christians confiscated it, claimed it as part of their history, placed it on top of the mountain. And the Russians themselves respect the top of the mountain, so they themselves do not go.

Cristina: Wait, but like, is there. They don't say like, about the people that did go on top of the mountain.

Jack: We know nothing about them.

Cristina: Okay. Did they sneak there? Did they dis.

Jack: We don't know anything about him.

Cristina: It's very strange.

Jack: Don't know anything about him. We just know that there is Russian bestiary being claimed by the Orthodox Christians and hidden atop the mountain, where every monastery believes it is too sacred to visit. This is your artifact. Go up there and get it.

Cristina: But you can't.

Jack: But you can't because it's too sacred to visit. What does that mean? Does that mean what?

Cristina: Interesting.

Jack: Gets weird, bro. Like, what is happening? Also, how do we go up and get to grass and trees instead of snow? Mount Athos is the second tallest place in all of Greece. And how do you have grass and trees, not snow?

Cristina: It's for the unicorns to eat.

Jack: Olympus is only slightly bigger and it is covered in snow on top.

Jack: So. And it's in the same country, which means the same altitude should, in theory, lead to the same conditions.

Cristina: I wanna know what's in that bestiary that's so weird. Why is that one? The one that's hidden?

Jack: Why is that? What's hidden? You got all these other artifacts, but you put one up there, the bestiary.

Cristina: They got more than just unicorns in that beastiary.

Jack: It has to be.

Jack: That's strange, right?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Okay, let's go to the other question you had. There are two women to have ever stepped foot on this mountain. In the late 1800s, a woman disguised herself as a man, went onto the mountain out of, who knows? Curiosity. I don't know. She. There's something. There was a. There was some reason important enough for her to disguise herself and go there. We don't know what, but they removed her. She was incarcerated at the foot of the mountain. They built a prison just for her. And she was there her whole life until she died. Just for faking being a man and going out to the mountain later. It was legislated. They legislated so that women are not allowed on the mountain. It is in the law.

Cristina: In the law.

Jack: It's in the law that women are not allowed in the mountain.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That is in Greek law.

Cristina: Well, before she did that, it wasn't.

Jack: Also, this mountain counts as A sovereign state. So it is in Greece, but not.

Cristina: It's not part of Greece.

Jack: They can make their own rules.

Cristina: And the rule is no women.

Jack: No women.

Cristina: I wonder why.

Jack: That's the second woman ever to step foot on that mountain.

Cristina: Who was the first?

Jack: And what happened to her about 5,000 years ago?

Cristina: What?

Jack: Roughly. No, actually, about. No, no, that's wrong. It was about 2,000 years ago. Yeah. About 2,000 years ago, there was a woman on a boat headed to Cyprus, which is in Greece or part of Greece, or in some instances, part of Greece. In other instances, it's its own place, depending who you ask. She was headed there and the wind current pushed her away. And she landed on Athos without knowing what it was. But upon landing on Athos, this land was beautiful. This land was great. This woman proceeded to go to the highest point of the mountain. At the highest point of the mountain. She then prayed to her son to give her permission to claim the land.

Cristina: Pray to her son. What does this mean?

Jack: Two thousand years ago, about a year after the death of Jesus, Mary was on a boat headed towards Cyprus. The winds redirected her. She landed on Mount Athos, went to the top of the mountain, prayed to Christ that she can keep this land, and then we never hear of her again. This is in the Bible, in the Orthodox Christian book. This text is in there.

Cristina: Okay. She owns it, and yet they don't let women on it. That's very suspicious and odd.

Jack: Also, there is a green patch at the very top of this mountain.

Cristina: Yes. You think she lives there? You think she's still alive?

Jack: I don't know, man. It's just like the weirdest series.

Cristina: That is the weirdest.

Jack: According to the Orthodox Christians, these are the only two women to have ever stepped foot on this mountain.

Cristina: Yes. And we don't know anything about either of these women. It's just. That's it.

Jack: That's it. They refuse to give us more details relative to these things.

Cristina: She prayed for that mountain and then. I don't understand what. So weird. That's just so odd. I don't know what to do with that information.

Jack: Yep.

Cristina: How did she end up there and what happened after she prayed? That's her story.

Jack: I was curious about the same thing. Like, do we know? Did she make a house? Does she, like, live off the land? Like, what happened? Nothing.

Cristina: Nothing. And then they don't want women there. I wonder why. I wonder how that's connected.

Jack: She was there before all the guys were.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: She was the first person to step foot on that mountain.

Cristina: What does that mean? I don't know. That's very strange.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: But no magic works on that mountain, right?

Jack: No magic works on that mountain.

Jack: Now, let us remember a very important detail about this mountain. The Atlanteans arrive on this mountain, how?

Cristina: The Pegasus. Right.

Jack: And a Pegasus is what?

Cristina: A flying horse.

Jack: So with a flying horse, you would obviously land where, to the top? Yes, because then you're going to come down, and if you land at the top, you're landing at the summit. The summit where the grass, the trees.

Cristina: Perfect for the horses.

Jack: Perfect for the horses. Where you've already seen other horses. Right. Where Mary also happened to go up to.

Cristina: Mm. What?

Jack: There's something about the. The mountain stops being interesting immediately. Because we were wrong about the mountain.

Cristina: It's the mountain top that's the most important thing.

Jack: It's the summit. Something about the summit of the mountain. Because we don't see, like, we can. I can get a pass and go onto that mountain right now. I am not allowed at the top of the mountain right now, but I can go to the mountain. I can get on the waiting list in six months. I could just go onto that mountain, check it out. Cool. They will arrest me if I try to go to the top.

Cristina: How did they stop each other from getting to the top?

Jack: Because they all adamantly believe that it is too sacred for them to go up to.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They do not even surveil each other. They put the bestiary up there. That belongs to the Russians, and they themselves don't go and retrieve it. They're on the mountain, too. They could have just gone up and got in it. There's no security. There's no buildings. There's no nothing. You could just go up there. If you live on the mountain, maybe.

Cristina: That summit is more than just a regular summit, then, like. But you said there's no magic. But then how could they put a book there? It's very strange.

Jack: So I have theories on what the point of it is. Right. Assuming that the whole mountain functions equally, and the whole mountain, like the second story, is true. This. This is the burial site Athos. And if giants, when they die, the same effects that their bodies already have where magic doesn't work on them, and so his body then fed the mountain. The mountain magic no longer works on this mountain, and the whole mountain works equally. No magic works atop at the summit either. This would mean a couple of things. Right? If you put a magical artifact on this mountain, you've stripped it of its powers.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Now, this part on Top of the mountain is very different than everywhere else. Maybe that part on top of the mountain is the literal burial site. It is the only part with dirt and grass. It is the only part that isn't a bunch of rock.

Cristina: The burial site to the giant.

Jack: Yes. So giant would be buried at the very, very top, making it the strongest magic stream. So if you had something very dangerous and strong, magically speaking, you'd put it at the strongest dampening point, which could be the summit.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Alternatively, if the story says he's buried underneath. This is me. That was just me adding the sauce and saying maybe he would. Maybe that part is wrong. It is a burial site, but he was buried on top. The story says he's buried underneath the mountain. So the highest point would be the furthest from his body, thus the weakest from his effect, which means, potentially, we see the trees, we see the grass. It is the only green point. It might be the. It's just far enough from his body that it's the only part of the mountain where magic still happens. The only part of the mountain where magic can still work. If somebody who is connected to a being of pure magic were to go up there, they'd still have access to this being of pure magic, because that person could easily communicate or reach them, because magic still works. If the Holy Spirit or Jesus Christ or this vampire guy is really who she thinks he is and who everybody else thinks he is, and he can communicate and transcend, then this mountain would, in any case, dampen all those abilities. Except at this one point on top, this lady goes and prays and just, poof, vanishes. But it's because her son can take her from there.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: But it's also where Atlanteans come down from. They have access to not just advanced technologies, but potentially magic. Are they even really flying there? Because that's what they say. That's what the stories say, that they have these horses, they land on top of the mountain, but nobody's allowed to the top of the mountain to see this event happen. They just know that the Atlanteans come down from there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And they put two and two together and say, oh, they flew there and then came down from there. But again, we know a lady went up and disappeared and that people come down and go back up and then they're not up there.

Cristina: So what do you think?

Jack: Sounds like some sort of a portal. Oh, sounds like the top of the mountain crap just disappears and reappears. Also, people are allowed on the mountain, but they're not allowed at the summit. But unicorns have been seen on the mountain. Where the h*** would the unicorns be? Where they could survive? Where there's nature at the top of the mountain.

Cristina: Where you think they're teleporting too, when they get. When they running away. Okay. Oh, oh, okay, that makes sense.

Jack: The top of the mountain is some Garden of Eden equivalent. Let's think about the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden exists in some sort of alternate bubble dimension that only certain beings can access successfully, but is hidden in plain sight. The Garden of Eden is also interchangeable with where the Atlanteans live. We've many times come across the text in different, different mythologies that reference these two things interchangeably.

Cristina: Connection to Atlantis. Okay, but the church people can't like do anything with that anyway. Interesting. Also, they probably have magical tools up there that they're studying, like in non magical ways, because it takes away the magic from those tools. Yeah, but they're not going up there.

Jack: Yeah, they're not allowed.

Cristina: Exactly. But they have a lot of crap.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: And a lot of those crap could be magical.

Jack: But not on the mountain.

Cristina: But not on the mountain. Exactly. So that's a perfect studying location.

Jack: The top of the mountain.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But only 20 people in the last thousand years have gone up there who can study it. And how are they gonna bring you back the data?

Jack: If anything, when these people go up there to do anything, they're not staying up there. They're going wherever that up there is taking them. The people who go to the top of the mountain. These 20 people over the course of thousand years who live in these monasteries and have gone up there, were entering some other place. They were going somewhere else. But only these people were specifically chosen and allowed to cross whatever threshold is at the summit that's allowing them to go to whatever place. The same place where Mary went. The same place that the Atlanteans are coming from. The same place that unicorns seem to be popping out of. All connected to this one place on top that has such a vast similarity to the Garden of Eden, which is also consistently referenced alongside the opposing grounded, more real texts of the Atlanteans.

Cristina: The Atlanteans? Yes. They're the children of Adam and Eve. Okay, yes, I'm remembering that weirdness.

Jack: Oh, and by chance, Mary happens to go up there.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Where she would come across the children of Adam and Eve.

Cristina: Yes. But that was accidentally total accident.

Jack: But also, if you are a Christian, everything happens for a reason.

Cristina: Okay. God.

Jack: The wind pushed her because it Was part of the plan. She went to the top because Christ wanted to see his mom again. Some reason she was there. For some reason, she went up there. For some reason. That's where unicorns are. For some reason. That's why the Atlanteans come from that same spot. For some reason, out of the 2,000 people that live on that mountain, nobody goes up there.

Cristina: What? Yes. I don't know what any of this means, though, because nothing can be proven. Because no one could go there. So it doesn't matter.

Jack: Nobody could go there. Nope. What now about this mountain? Only men are allowed. We know this. Visitors rarely, except in very specific circumstance where there have been emperors throughout history who have quit being emperors to go to this mountain on record. They just leave their kingdom. They abandon their kingdom and they go to be monks on this mountain.

Cristina: Where are they from?

Jack: All over the world. They just abandon their kingdom, their power, their money, their wealth, their ease of life, and they go be monks on this mountain.

Cristina: How do they even hear about it.

Jack: When asked why they stay there? The medicine grown from the fauna and the flora brings them health, intellect and wisdom. This is in documents. They've said these words. Almost all of them have. Now, let me point out what I have just said. Very importantly that you listen to this again, because unicorns, the flora and the fauna. See, it wasn't just the flora. It wasn't just. I picked up a plant.

Cristina: No. Magical animals.

Jack: Magical animals. Medicine from some creature is making you more intelligent, healthier and wiser.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: More so than any power you have acquired, than any building you have, than any money you have, than all the women that would throw themselves at you. Then you run entire countries and you're like, no, you guys can have it. I'm gonna go over there.

Cristina: How common are the unicorns up there? What? Or anything else that's up there. Like maybe all animals.

Jack: Not one of these emperors has ever gone to the summit.

Cristina: But you have to get to the summit to get some unicorn. Alcor. Whatever.

Jack: Alicorn.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Not one of them has ever been up there. Let me go on to point out the next weirdest part of this fact. Nobody. Not one. Not one of the texts from any of these monasteries on this mountain so much as hint to the existence of a unicorn. Every bit has been from people who left it, Nothing from the people who stayed.

Cristina: They have Fight Club rules.

Jack: Not even amongst each other. Do they talk about it.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Fight Club couldn't even keep that going.

Cristina: Oh, no. Huh?

Jack: But again, they literally don't even go to the Top. So they must really. I mean, it's monk's discipline is their thing.

Cristina: Yeah. Like they're not even going up there to get that book.

Jack: Nope. And it's. They swear it's theirs.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And they argue with it and they try to get the individual who is allowed up there to go get it. Go get it belongs to us.

Cristina: But they're not gonna do that.

Jack: You go get it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: No. It's either too dangerous or actually sacred in some manner, shape or form that we don't understand.

Cristina: If it is sacred in some weird way, like maybe it was an accident that that book even showed up there. Like, they probably didn't purposely put it there. But now that it's there, they can't get it back.

Jack: Whoever goes up there can bring it back if they wanted to.

Cristina: But no one does go up there.

Jack: In the Last thousand years, 20 individuals have gone up there. And this book has been updated all the time.

Jack: They have all been Christian. Every single one who's gone up there is part of the Orthodox Christians. It was not the Russians. It was not the Bulgarians. It was not the Serbians. It was a hundred percent each time one of the Orthodox Christians who was allowed to the top. It was only one at a time. And throughout the course of a thousand years, there's only been 20 people who've been allowed up there. I don't know what merits or like, what why. I do not know why them?

Cristina: Are they bringing down some unicorn horns? That's a good question too. I don't know. Because there. There's something magical that's keeping them healthy and everything.

Jack: One important. I forgot to mention this very important detail that I just looked at this text and saw. Very, very important. I don't know why I forgot this part. This is probably one of the most important details about this. After Virgin Mary landed on the mountain island, because it's kind of an island and kind of a mountain. And she went to the summit. She got to the summit on a horse.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Very, very important because there are no natural horses on this mountain. According to the Orthodox Christians that run the mountain, there's no horses. There's no horses. There's cows. Well, bulls. But there's no horse. There wouldn't. It's a mountain. How the h*** would a horse survive? How do you go up the mountain on a horse? That's mainly rock. It's a rocky a** mountain.

Cristina: But everyone says there's unicorns up there.

Jack: Only people who've left and come down with it. Nobody on the mountain. Says anything about this. Okay, Every record that exists about unicorns on this mountain exists outside the mountain. There are records kept on the mountain and there is not one mention.

Cristina: How did you get this horse?

Jack: Where did the horse come from? You landed here by accident on a boat. You didn't have the horse with you. And it's a mountain. Dude, you don't even understand. Give me a second so I can show you a visual. Okay, so this is what that mountain looks like. This is a rocky f****** mountain.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You're either at the base of the mountain, and that's the only place you see trees and stuff. That's where the farmers are. That's where they're growing the things, the crops and whatever. And then you see how the mountain goes up and just the trees just cease. The nature just ceases. And then you get to the very, very tip and we're back to trees and back to nature. Now look at the steepness of this mountain. She rode a horse to the top.

Cristina: It doesn't make sense.

Jack: No, no, it doesn't. She rode a horse up a vertical.

Cristina: Unless vertical.

Jack: She rode a horse that can travel vertically.

Cristina: Which one was that? Which horse does that? I can't remember.

Jack: The unicorn.

Cristina: The unicorn, okay. Yes, yes.

Jack: The unicorn travels vertically. It could just run up nothing. She could literally ride it in a straight shot without having to take a single turn to the very top of the mountain. So, yeah, she rode a horse. That's part of that story. She rode a horse to the top of the mountain. You were on a boat. You didn't have a horse.

Cristina: If she had a unicorn, where would she get that from? Or maybe she just found the horse.

Jack: That could ride up the side of the mountain.

Jack: They didn't say unicorn. They do not say unicorn. They specifically don't say unicorn. It's just a horse, according to them. But also, you saw this f****** mountain.

Cristina: It was definitely a unicorn.

Jack: How else are you gonna get to the top of the mountain? The mountain just stops and becomes vertical. How are you gonna get to the top of the mountain on a horse?

Cristina: Unicorn, man. It has to be a unicorn.

Jack: It fits the narrative According to the descriptions of a horse that could run vertically.

Cristina: That's crazy. She has the unicorn and then she disappears into Atlantis. That's so weird.

Jack: Okay, I mean, looking at these details, I did come across John the Russian one more time. I didn't find additional information of any sort. He still talked about the same place, Getting it from the same thing. Just very. But there was one thing that didn't Seem important at the time that I didn't mention, because it's okay, it's in the mountain was my idea. But he specifically said that it came from the summit of the mountain.

Cristina: Oh, it didn't just come from the mountain.

Jack: Not just the mountain. He specifically said he got it from the summit of Mount Athos. Now, I didn't think that mattered in seeing it. I was like, oh, yeah, he did say that. I went ahead and I extract, you know, compressing information to make it through the episode. I just. Hey, was at the mountain. It didn't seem relevant to specify which part of the mountain. He just got it from the mountain, bro.

Cristina: Unless you know where exactly.

Jack: Okay, yes, he got it specifically his own words from the very top of the mountain.

Cristina: Okay. So there's definitely unicorns on top of that mountain. Something on top of that mountain, and probably Pegasus too. It's pretty cool.

Jack: Important that I say, John, because also the two records, the public records in the Greek records are also claiming it was from the summit.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now this creates an interesting problem because that means that in the last 300 years, at least three people who weren't supposed to be on the mountain went to the summit. Or somebody handed it to them. Somehow, some. Somehow they got something that was from the top.

Cristina: Even though no one's allowed up there.

Jack: Even though no one's allowed up there. Did they sneak up there? Did somebody bring it down from up there? The people who live on the mountain aren't allowed up there, but they do say that people do come down from up there. Now, nobody lives up there. There's nobody up there. So the people who go up there, they believe land up there and then come down or that is what they tell us.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That they land up there on their Pegasus and then they come down. That could totally be the case.

Cristina: If that's not.

Jack: Then they're just popping up there and coming down.

Cristina: Oh, okay. But he's not popping up there.

Jack: We don't know. We just know that they got it from the summit.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That's it. We know three individuals got alicorn from the summit. That's it. That's the extent of our knowledge in this area.

Cristina: Okay. We don't know how it just happened.

Jack: Yep. So that's what I got. That's what I found about this mountain.

Cristina: This magical, non magical mountain. That is crazy.

Jack: I mean, I don't know. I don't know. We know there's a bunch of artifacts. We don't know if they're still magic. We don't Know if the summit is magic or isn't magic or is the.

Cristina: Only place so much secrets. It's just a secretive. Secretive.

Jack: It's a secret mountain.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: With a bunch of fuzzy details that have been snuck out. And we have to connect it with the details that have been speculated and the crap that they decide to tell us.

Cristina: That's amazing.

Jack: Mount Athos is also, because of this Virgin Mary story, the most sacred location for orthodox Christians.

Cristina: Of course. What? Interesting. It's very interesting and weird. And what? Is she still there? What is she doing? Like what?

Jack: And he has hard, hard Garden of Eden vibes.

Cristina: Yes. It's definitely connected somehow. Yeah.

Jack: Somehow. Arguably. Maybe the same way that whatever's happening in the Bermuda Triangle connects to it. Maybe this is the same kind of idea that the Bermuda Triangle. We know what. There's nothing there. But there's also something there.

Cristina: There's something protecting something.

Jack: Yeah. And things can go and you'll see nothing. But you cross some threshold and pop up somewhere. That sounds literally like what they're describing about this mountain.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Which would say maybe the Garden of Eden has many entryways.

Cristina: That makes sense.

Jack: All being protected one way or another.

Cristina: That is interesting. I wonder if there's any crazy airplane stories around this mountain.

Jack: Interesting. Like. There are. Because there's has to be curiosity. Right. People just like, let me see.

Cristina: Wow. Okay.

Jack: So that's the story of Mount Athos. That's what I could find it. Very vague. It seems like the deeper I dig, the more vague and indirect the information becomes.

Cristina: But there's something there.

Jack: Something there for sure.

Cristina: Just. It was so little, but it's still something somehow. The secret is still. It's not well kept. No, it's really well kept, actually. Yes. But isn't it still there?

Jack: It's still there. We know there's something there.

Cristina: Something slipped.

Jack: We don't know what the h*** is there.

Cristina: Nope.

Jack: According to anybody who manages to go up and come down. Unicorns. That's all they got to say. Unicorns they don't talk about. Oh, the Atlanteans are up there. No, the people on the mountain told us that story. People outside the mountain speculate about it, but people on the mountain tells us those stories. That's what they want us to think. That's what they want us to know. Those are details they're feeding us.

Cristina: Why would they want feed us that. That's so strange. It's all strange.

Jack: They're also okay with us knowing about Virgin Mary being on there. That's totally cool with them.

Cristina: But not. Yes, that is very weird. What?

Jack: Okay, anywho, for the past God knows how long we've been talking about this. So if you guys are interested in any of this, you guys know where to find it. We're everywhere but you. If. Please look. Greeks and non Greeks, historians, anybody who's ever visited this mountain and somehow comes across this show, like, reach out. Talk to us. Tell us if you know, detail. If you've never visited and you know something we don't, you know, reach out. You can find us on all the socials, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, usConvopod.

Cristina: Remember to subscribe, right.

Jack: And review the show and tell anybody and everybody. Maybe somebody knows something we don't and they could completely.

Cristina: We need to know. This has been the Rambling podcast and take nothing personal. Thanks for listening. Bye. Like, smiling at you all tied up or something.

Jack: Not just smiling, but, like, with mad, hopeful eyes.

Cristina: Like, if I wish I were you.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. Like, through their face you can see that they're, like, trying to gauge your reaction about what you're listening to and you're horrified.

Cristina: So what are they thinking? Like, oh, this episode must be really good.

Jack: Well, I don't know, because they're over here just super souped looking, trying to see if your expression gives off anything so they can get excited. When you get excited about, oh, my God, is that exciting? That's all they're thinking. Like, wow, if they get souped about anything, I can only imagine what it is.

Cristina: Whoa. Our fans are too extreme.

Jack: Extremeness.

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by great dots.info art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth McCallister with social media managed by Amber Black.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: Welcome to the Rambling Podcast, the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. I am your host, Jack.

Cristina: I am your host, Christina.

Jack: And today I have some interesting things to talk about. Particularly interesting things. So let me begin by reminding everybody that we recently just took a deep dive into unicorns and found out that there's an actual location where it seems that people consistently spot unicorns on top of a hill, a mountain. It's Mount Ethos in Greece. Well, trying. We found this because we had to. As you know, we did an episode on unicorns. You wanted to know how they were actually magical. I went on that trip to find out how they're actually magical and found a bunch of things. But looking through that, in the original thing, we found the merchant. Then we traced the merchant through the. The second episode where we came back to find out how they're actually magical. And in between that, we also talked about the. The really, really old equator.

Cristina: Yes, the one that changed.

Jack: Yes, the equator's always moving. But where it was 450 million years ago was magical. I don't think it was magical. Why was it magical?

Cristina: I don't know. Because everything was on that line or whatever.

Jack: Oh, yeah, A bunch of things land on the line. But I don't know how that would make it magical. I know that things land on the line. It's just a weird situation that's going on that we might actually have to unpack for a bunch of different reasons. So first, I was very curious as to. Now, keep in mind, everything I just mentioned is connected. And I will also say we had an episode like three years ago about ancient advanced civilizations. And funny enough, when we were talking about the old equator, we mentioned Atlantis as well, I believe.

Cristina: Yes. Somewhere in the Gulf. The gulf, yes. I think.

Jack: Yeah. So we have a couple of things that are all quite possibly connected.

Cristina: Atlantis is somehow connected.

Jack: Well, Atlantis is connected to ancient civilizations, okay. Particularly ancient advanced civilizations. And the old equator, okay. So it touches a lot.

Cristina: Okay. Yeah.

Jack: So here's my problem with the old equator. The old equator was 450 million years ago.

Cristina: That's a lot of years ago.

Jack: That's a lot of years ago. The oldest man made structure is only 12,000 years ago. Okay, that is a ridiculous discrepancy.

Cristina: Mm. It is.

Jack: That is.

Cristina: That's ridiculous.

Jack: It makes you wonder why they put it there when the place didn't exist. And Also, how do you know about it?

Cristina: How do you know about what?

Jack: About the old equator. Okay, so in order to answer some of these questions and explain how all of this connects, we have to go way back, which I'll do. This goes all the way back to 3.7 billion years ago.

Cristina: What's happening back then? Dinosaurs? No.

Jack: Well, first let me talk about how time works. I was listening to a clip, and the guy explained how a million seconds is 11 days, but a billion seconds is 31 years. You got to think about the fact that we have no idea what a billion is. We have no clue how monumentous of a distance A billion is.450 million years is half a billion. That's hardcore for, like, we can't fathom that many years. And he still built a line of structures across a thing that didn't exist anymore. What? That's already weird. But let's go all the way back. 13. I mean, 3.7 billion years ago is the original earliest life. That's how far back I'm going. The first life to leave any trace. We have not found anything older than this, the oldest, anything. So at some point, boom, life happened. Well, this happened 3.7 billion years ago. We don't know why, but something triggered it. Then we enter about 450 million years ago where the old equator was. Okay, this is about seven, eight times away. Like, if you have to. You'd have to multiply this a couple of times to make it backwards to where life began. Okay, so you already have a pretty substantial gap. Everything got complicated. We still don't have a brutally advanced life. It's dinosaurs and s*** roaming the Earth. There's no humans. There's no. No advanced intellect happening yet.

Cristina: But there's dinosaurs.

Jack: There's dinosaurs. Yeah. Okay, 2.5 million years ago. Now we enter what we call the prehistoric era. The prehistoric era is particularly important because what it really means is the era in which there are humans, but we are not recording history yet.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: We have not started recording humans have happened now, but we have not recorded any history. And this is gonna happen for a while. And keep in mind, we're talking prehistoric humans. Yes, Cave people.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: Nothing we would call a H*** sapien yet.

Cristina: How long does that take?

Jack: A while. Okay, but so we entered this era 2.5 million years ago. We come across the prehistoric era, and then in this, we come across the original tools. Now, this is very important. This is why I chose this exact era, because obviously exactly 2.5 million years ago isn't where it started. The prehistoric era. It started a couple of years and not millions of years in. And maybe not too many. Might have been five, six years into the 2.5 million years ago, obviously. But what's important about this is these are the first tools ever made. They were not made by H*** sapiens, though.

Cristina: What do you mean?

Jack: They were made by ancient primitive cave people, most of which actually went extinct. These are tools from bloodlines that don't connect to us.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Oh, fascinating.

Cristina: Weird. Okay.

Jack: Yes. They are called the Old Duvai.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Well, the. The technique is called Olduan, and it is in Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. So this was all found there. And it's a series of different shaped rocks collected. So they were like. This is a natural that they were just all together like this. A bunch of pointy rocks. It would look like if you were make an arrowhead.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: They were used to pierce things. A bunch of blunt flat ones were used to squash things. A bunch of perfectly round ones were used to crack things. So they weren't shaping these stones yet. They were picking these stones up.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah. Oh, my bad. They. They were actually making these stones. These are the. What is it? These are the. The first tools made that weren't picked up in the wild. That was.

Cristina: I was trying to kick it up in the wild.

Jack: Yeah, because the original tools that were picked up were just picked up. It was just. You're walking around, you picked up a stick and you swung it.

Cristina: Okay. Yeah.

Jack: Well, you had a rock and you threw it. But these rocks were shaped. They made these rocks. Now, it's still primitive, but it worked. Interestingly enough, it's compound. So complicated. I'll come back to that. I'll give you a little more background, and then we'll circle back. About 315,000 years ago is where H*** sapiens came to be. That is such a far stretch from 2.5 million years ago.

Cristina: The 2.5 is the tools.

Jack: Yeah. 2.5 million years ago is where the tools are made by primitive civilizations. Not even civilizations yet. We haven't gotten there. But 315,000 years ago, we come to be H*** sapiens. Who we are.

Cristina: What's the gap?

Jack: That gap is about 2,200,000 years.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Pretty hefty number.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then we enter the hundred thousand years ago mark. Now, important details to also establish the first long form discussions ever occurred. 100,000 years ago, conversations were not had by anyone other than H*** sapiens. Okay, this is a problem.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: How did you communicate creating tools? How do you have an advanced tool crafting system. And so many of them. If you don't even have language yet, how did you arrive at tools before language.

Cristina: Sign language?

Jack: I had the same conclusion. So in studying what was happening, incorrect. Because h*** sapiens used side language that they learned from apes and merged it with sounds they heard from birds to then create a scenario where I can give you tone so you know what I mean and pitch, so you kind of get my, you can understand my, my, my motives and my tone. And like, I don't mean you harm or I do me new harm or I'm angry based on the sounds I'm making in their tone. And I can be very specific by pointing at things and like doing very ph goldest plays. Okay, that was primitive conversation, but the first long form conversation was that. So that was not 2.5 million years ago. That was just 100,000 years ago that we did that. We're immediately coming across problems just following history.

Cristina: So then what were they doing?

Jack: We'll figure that out. We got quite a ways to go and we're already hitting knowledge issues. How do you have tools? You don't have communication? Okay. This was experimented on, this was tested. There was an archaeologic experiment done. A bunch of students were taken, college students, and they were broken down half. You know, split them into two groups and you're gonna teach them the methods that these people use to make the stones. We can teach them two different ways. First one, you're gonna tell them how to do it, but you're not gonna show them. The second one, you're gonna show them how to do it, but you're not gonna tell them. The people who were shown how to do it performed four times faster, better, and with more proficiency without language than the people who were told how to do it.

Cristina: Whoa. We're better at communicating without actually communicating.

Jack: That's not. Without communicating. That's still communicating. We're just not using language.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy.

Jack: Yeah. We're better communicating without language.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Well, you gotta understand, we were already creatures 2.5 million years ago when we went that entire time for 2 million years of existence without ever talking to then just having started that a hundred thousand years ago. We don't know how the f*** to do that. We don't know how to communicate, but.

Cristina: It makes sense that they would be able to make those tools.

Jack: Yes. We don't know how to talk. We figuring that out, but we could probably, hands on, show each other how to do things easily. This experiment proved it. So it immediately raises the problem of how do you have mass production of tools? We'll just show the guy how to do it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And he shows the next guy, and he shows the next guy, and before long, everybody saw how to do it, and everybody can make it.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Still don't have language, but it works.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Now, when you apply this to some of these structures that we have in the world, where we're like, how do we build it if we don't have the. If we didn't have the tools or the technology at the time? It's like, okay, there is a gap in knowledge that we have that would make this real easy, like the language barrier. How did you make tools when you couldn't communicate them? Okay. How do you make pyramids when you couldn't feasibly craft the stone and then carry it? It's the same question, just applying it differently.

Cristina: So they just had another way.

Jack: There was just another way, and we just don't know what that way is. But the structures there. There had to be another way.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And it's simple. It's nothing extraterrestrial couldn't be. It's just another way. We don't know.

Cristina: That makes sense. Yes.

Jack: This experiment proved that, again, people thought that these stones were shown to them by aliens and that they kept providing them simple things to not advance them. Technologies like theories and s*** that, you know, they kept providing them and collecting them and giving it to them so they wouldn't have to, like. So they wouldn't push their advancement too far, too quickly. You know, prime directive kind of thing. You don't want to screw up their development. But it's like, no, we can prove that wrong. We can easily prove that wrong. People who were shown how to do it are way more efficient than people who were told how to do it. You don't need language. It's actually easier without it.

Cristina: That's crazy.

Jack: Language is convoluting things and messes it up.

Cristina: Yeah. What?

Jack: Enter 5,50,000 years ago. 50,000 years ago, we finally got to the place where these bird songs and lexical sign language things come in. And we establish what we would now call language, the primitive versions of them. But this is language that we can actually sustain conversation with. Before we had small, it was the first long form conversation. But language didn't happen yet.

Cristina: Long form conversation happened 100,000 years ago.

Jack: Long form conversation happened, but it wasn't language.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It was figuring out how to make language. You could sustain a conversation, but it was a lot of hands and Stuff. And it was like a bunch of other crap. Yes, By. It only took 50,000 years for this to get so complicated. We completely dropped off hand gestures and words had such vast complexity. I could send images from my head into yours, by the way. Language is weird.

Cristina: Yes. Yes, it is.

Jack: It's a form of psychic telepathy or something. I can throw an image into your head. I can say spider, and you can picture spider. Yeah, I sent that image from my head to your head. I can say, there's nothing purple in here, but I sent a purple image to your head. This weird thing we could do that's telepathic. And we're like, well, it's so weird that a dolphin can send a sonar signal and then another dolphin and gets an exact image in his head. Don't get me wrong, that's way more precise. Yes, but it's the same idea. Yeah, it's just.

Cristina: It's very similar. It's.

Jack: Yes, the same concept. They just mastered the h*** out of it. Okay, so we. We know that language gets complicated, but we also know that we don't need the language for these tools. Problem erased. Great. Fantastic. Let's move on. The first form of record happened about 45,000 years ago, and it was a cave drawing.

Cristina: It doesn't feel so long compared to everything else.

Jack: No, we solved the problem, and then we immediately came across a different one, which is quite problematic because if people have been around for 2.5 billion million years, why didn't anybody draw anything out of curiosity? Just handprints on a wall or something.

Cristina: But that's what cave drawings are.

Jack: Yeah, essentially. But okay, that's 2.5 million years ago. And we're talking that the first one, we've. The oldest one, is 45,000 years ago. There's a quite substantial gap going on. There's a problem there.

Cristina: Is that a problem? This is weird.

Jack: Nobody has touched any. Anything that would leave any form of a trace.

Jack: Are you kidding me? You didn't kill an animal. Go hide in your cave. And your hand just happened to have blood. And you're just, oh, let me take a break and lean against the wall. And I got a handprint. No, we don't have any of that. None of that has ever happened. 45 thou. Now, the ongoing discussion with this is because we're talking cave drawings and we hadn't invented erecting structures yet that it's possible we just haven't found the caves. They have the drawings, but then we haven't found the caves that have the drawings. That are older.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You think we found every cave?

Cristina: No, of course not.

Jack: Yeah. There has to be so many caves. But then that creates another problem again, where the h*** would these people. It would have to be people we didn't know existed. We'd have to find even more civilizations that didn't exist to then find caves that we didn't. That we didn't follow the people we already know about to. We got to follow people we don't know about the caves that we didn't think people would be in.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. How do you even do something like that?

Jack: Exactly. And why haven't we stumbled upon these civilizations before that would then lead us to these caves?

Cristina: It sounds complicated. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. Weird gap in knowledge there. Now, another interesting detail there is. We're still in the prehistoric era. Nothing has been recorded. And the closest thing to a record is cave paintings.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: We don't have proof of life of anything other than fossils and stuff.

Cristina: Mmm.

Jack: That's it. Like, there's no record of anything. And so we assume because fossils that there wasn't intervention and that people made things themselves. And that checks out pretty hard. And again, we can prove it through these experiments and know that we don't need the language interventions. Like aliens in aliens advanced older civilizations that we don't know about anything of any of that nature. Just something way more advanced.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Like, it doesn't seem necessary until we get to this problem of where are all the people who would have drawn in the caves?

Cristina: What do you mean? There's no bones of people or something.

Jack: They would have led us to the caves.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: It's an easy statement I am making. There are caves with the oldest drawings we've seen. 45,000 years ago, humans existed. Not humans, but, you know, creatures that can make things and think on a higher level. Since 2.5 million years ago, if there were other people who ever left a cave to go catch their food and a single one of their bones were left behind, we then have the trail picked up and it would have led us to the cave. Hasn't happened. The old. There's too many of us all over the place looking. We haven't found any of it. And the oldest we can go is 45,000 years ago. We have a 2.5 million year gap from the knowledge that there are intelligent beings to the full first record by accident.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: You don't see an issue with that? You don't see how weird that is?

Cristina: Why would it. I don't know. Like, were they all living in Caves. Why is caves important?

Jack: Because it's shelter. Yes. They were all living in caves. Shelter. Yes. A cave stops the sun from hitting you consistently.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: It stops rain from making you sick and die. Actually, it stops the sun from killing you. It stops rain from killing you. It stops the wind from killing you. Kind of. If you made it, you lived in a cave. Until we invented structures, okay? That's the rule. You had to. Where else would you be? Oh, that's why we called them cavemen.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Because you had to. It was the only solid thing. Like if a hurricane came by. Okay, you're all dead then. Well, no, because the cave saved you.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: Nature's f*****.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And without shelter, you're not making it.

Cristina: So it was only caves.

Jack: It was only caves.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: But that's a problem, because in the caves, we don't find anything as old as the people are.

Cristina: Nothing as old as the people. That's strange.

Jack: Not even my accent. No drawings, Weirdly enough, you have access to blood because you hunt, because you eat. Why don't we have drawings in blood? Why? If you have higher intellect, if you have language, if you have tools, and by this point, you have advanced tools, we're talking about entering a complex. It's 2.5 million years later. You've made s*** by now.

Cristina: But not homes yet.

Jack: You've not made homes. You got tools, simple things.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: And deal. You didn't make the one thing simpler than your tools. A drawing. Weird. Extremely weird. Extremely strange.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It would take 1% of the effort that it would to make a stone tool.

Cristina: If you're living like. Like you're surviving your life is survival. What's the point of doing a drawing? I don't.

Jack: Then what was the point of making the tools in the first place if they weren't all for hunting? And that was 2.5 million years ago. Where's your logic that, what, 2.5 million years ago, they had the tools. They didn't need the tools other than something to pierce skin. Why do you need the blunt one to make other things with? Why do you need anything other than what you're going to pierce the creature with? But you had many tools. For what? If it's just survival, like you're saying. Yes, way before 45,000 years ago, 2.5 million years ago. If it's just survival, why are you wasting valuable hunting time making tools? Go fish. It's way easier than making tools.

Cristina: But the tools aren't for fishing. The tools aren't.

Jack: There were many different kinds of tools.

Cristina: Yes, but you don't know what these tools are for.

Jack: There's theories of what the tools are for making cloth, making things, cups and crap like that. But it's also like, you could hold your hands or whatever. Some stones are meant. Meant to break. Other stones they would make. And they would make like it was. It's hard to explain because it's a bunch of anomalous things. But the point being, how do we not have our. I feel like this is not landing on you. Like, you're not seeing why this is troubling. The fact that we just have a gap where everything complexifies in intellect and somehow the first thing that even a child does did not happen to the most advanced fans of people at the time. Our children now are still dumber than they were at their peak. That is how it works. And still our children now draw, even if we would never show them. Children just start f****** with walls and doing things. It's natural.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Where is this? It would have naturally. You had kids. You had kids in those caves. Curiosity and things would have happened.

Cristina: But why would those things stay in the caves? Like, why wouldn't it just.

Jack: Because what's going. Why, what's going to bring it down if it' protected from the elements, Even from water. What water if it's in a cave? The point of the cave was that it was protecting you from the water. All right, I'll move on, since that one's not landing. 5,500 years ago, we end the prehistoric era because the first record is made, the first word is written. It appears in Mesopotamia, which is, I believe, Iraq, now Iran, something like that. Anyways. So, yeah, that's the first word ever written. And it shows up in, you know, written document.

Cristina: Just a word, like words.

Jack: I'm sure there was like a sentence.

Cristina: A sentence or something.

Jack: I'm sure something more than just like, hey, it was like a text message. It was probably something important. And yeah, that was about 5500 years ago. The first mention of Atlantis happens. 2,300 years ago, it's going to be. Okay, that's about 2300 years ago. Now, year five, we end ancient history and come into the next, which is, you know, a little more modern or whatever. And then when we get way farther, 1700 years later, 1730, we have the first documented unicorn information.

Cristina: 1730.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And then. Well, maybe not the first documented, but specifically the merchants first encounter.

Cristina: Okay, okay.

Jack: And then in 1817, I mean, 1811 is when we get two different mentions of unicorn horns from two different Greek record keepers that both say it came from Mount Athos. That happens to be the same place that it seems the guy John, who gave it to our merchant in the first place got it from. So we had three different accounts of it coming from a mountain in Greece, Mount Athos.

Cristina: This is a very strange timeline.

Jack: Yeah. And it all holds together. It's all vastly connected.

Cristina: Okay, okay.

Jack: So I went down and I hunted down all the oldest structures in history. What are all the oldest things and where do they land? And what we find is that the oldest man made structure ever is 12,000 years ago. So way after language, but problematic because even farther from the equator, even farther, like where?

Cristina: Do you know?

Jack: Not location wise.

Cristina: Time wise.

Jack: Okay, this is entirely a discussion about time.

Cristina: Yes, yes.

Jack: 450 million years ago. Meanwhile, the oldest structure happened just 12,000 years ago.

Cristina: Okay, but is it on the old equator?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay, yeah, okay.

Jack: No, no, that's actually wrong. So the oldest structure on Earth is not on the equator.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But the surprising amount of the structures that we have are. Which is fascinating. But yeah. The oldest structure is called Gobleki. Gobekli. Gobekli. And it is 12,000 years old and some weird anomalous object. So we still have a problem that we don't know how these people found the equator. And we still haven't begun recording history for them to like. No archaeologists exist yet because nobody's written anything down 12,000 years ago. We just found out that they started writing 5,500 years ago. So there's no proof of where anything would land. There's nothing. So then we start thinking, okay, 5,500 years ago, this structure isn't on the equator. What about the ones that do land on the equator? Several of them are 400 or 4,500 years old. And if the basic words began 5,500 years ago, we only give it a thousand years. We still don't have any kind of way to track how an old equator. And even if we had somebody who did the science and figured it out, how did he get the document to you? So that then you could make your structure across the world on the length. But you did.

Cristina: Yes, because a lot of places did.

Jack: Many places did. A ridiculous upwards of 20 different magnificent.

Cristina: Structures all land on that before, handwriting.

Jack: Or no, a bunch of these structures were made after records began, but with no ability. Like archeology hadn't happened, science hadn't begun. There's no way to get it across before. Like the person who wrote it dies of old age because of how far it is.

Cristina: Yeah. Okay.

Jack: And the fact that it crosses the entire globe when everybody still thought it was flat, you know, these kinds of things. If you still. But actually, this is another weird thing. Apparently that is not true.

Cristina: That. What's not true?

Jack: The ancients actually had.

Cristina: They believe it was round.

Jack: They believed it's round. And they had some pretty solid science not dating as back as 5,500, but, you know, it was out there. There's some ancient believers in this going as far back as, like, about a thousand bc.

Cristina: Did their science make sense of why they believed it was round?

Jack: Or maybe it was a real complicated science, but, like, science is the wrong word. But they had their calculations and they figured their things out, and, yeah, they checked out. Like, it wasn't wrong. But again, it's after the fact that.

Cristina: After what fact?

Jack: After. After the fact that these structures were made.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Okay.

Jack: That that happened after the fact that the structures were made is still younger than all the structures that land on the equator.

Cristina: Mm. It seems so random, though.

Jack: Okay, well, it seems random.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Until I scroll right back to the top, the document I'm using to communicate with you, and we start again, but this time with the knowledge we got by the time we got to the bottom. So let's begin about 3.7 billion years ago, the first sign of life.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: 450 million years ago. The old equator. 2.5 million years ago. Random sounds and rocks.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That we would call tools. You're using it as tools. And prehistory begins because we are now officially calling these people the Rela. Not relatives, but parallel to the cave people that would later become us. Those aren't them.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But, you know, they're living amongst. There's like, six or seven different equal things, by the way, I don't know if you knew that. That the cave people were like many and they were about equal, but they murdered each other off until our people made it.

Cristina: Yeah. Okay.

Jack: But actually, for a long time, there was a second group that was surviving, which is why a lot of people have, like, a lot of that DNA in there.

Cristina: But there's, like, three. There's more. There's like, seven.

Jack: There's a lot. There's a lot. They just kept murdering each other over time, and there's probably some still hanging out in some forest somewhere that hasn't been discovered now. So we go. We see humans 315,000 years ago, they start doing words that start to make sense 100,000 years ago. 50,000 years ago, we got full language. But we're still not recording anything. Very important information. We get to 5,500 again, the prehistoric era ends, and we have writing. That's why the prehistoric era ended. Now, around this time, we're also starting to construct the first writing is actually related to Greek mythology. Not literally the first writing.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But as writing started to begin, the people who most quickly took advantage of it were the Greek. They made small notes. It was nothing complicated. Although later they had some of the. As we found out a couple of episodes ago, they had ridiculous notes on irrelevant thing. They recorded everything at some point.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But here's where this gets really important. Prehistory ends in 5500. But Greek mythology predates that because the stories were being told before we could record them.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: We immediately come across a problem. Why we don't know where the stories began because history began being recorded here.

Cristina: Isn't that like in everywhere, everyone had stories before we wrote the stories?

Jack: Right.

Cristina: So I don't understand. There's a problem.

Jack: No, I'm saying that that's like we don't. We just don't know when the stories were made is what I'm telling you.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: I don't understand what you were trying to tell me.

Cristina: No, I was just confused. Like, if that was a big deal or not.

Jack: It could be the fact that we don't know where the stories came from, then they got written. I'll explain why it's relevant in a second.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So the proto Indo Europeans, which, by the way, we also had an episode about when we're talking about how their stories became all the stories, and then all the religions and all the mythologies came from this one place. They told the original stories that later became everything. Now, that happened about 10,000 years ago. So before the records happened, the stories that would later become Greek mythology were told about 5,000 years before they started being written down. Okay, fantastic. Okay. Glad we got that out of the way. Because there's a story that is of unknown origin in Greek mythology that seems to actually have Russian roots, which is weird until you remember the Indo Europeans split in equal mass in every direction when their little volcano. Wow. And so they spread everywhere. And so the same people who became the Greek leader, or the same people who became, like, at the same time they became the Russians, and they left with the same narrative before writing happened. Then the stories went and evolved as, you know, telephone happened, and people kept changing the story as they told it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The one very important thing that shows up in both Russian and Greek lore written two different ways and vastly like the context seems to be entirely cultural, but it's the same exact story happens to be about a unicorn. A unicorn on Mount Athos. Okay, that's completely fascinating considering that the first recorded anything about that happened thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of years later. There's a story that is 5,000 years old, about a. Actually 7,000 years old, if we're talking 5,000 BC. But a unicorn on them on Mount Athos, long, long, long, long before our merchant comes across a Russian named John. Okay, who got it from Mount Athos.

Cristina: Do you have these stories though, or you have no idea?

Jack: It was very brief. It's literally just mentioned as a beast called Indrik. That happens to be a unit. I'm telling you, it's a bare minimum.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: It's just mentions of things. I would have told you the story if it was more complicated. Oh, this is bit like there are people who've expanded on it, but that's not the original stuff people have added to it. That's very different. Okay, but fascinating that we have again, mentions of a unicorn from exactly this. So actually it's four different mentions of a unicorn. One is the same story, but in two different places. Now, people did not know of Greece from Russia 10,000 years ago. I mean, in Indo Europe, you know, they didn't. Didn't know. Didn't know about Mount Athos or any of that. So why is it that when this story does happen way, way, way later, it so specifically references Mount Athos? Somebody went to Mount Athos and saw what they would also describe as a unicorn and then wrote that down in Russia. Yes. And they said it was in that mountain that I saw it.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: This happens to be just maybe like 200, 300 years before it's mentioned in the Greek folklore. So somebody from over there that came over here side before you reported it over here. Very interesting.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Four different sightings of the same thing in the same place.

Cristina: Mm, definitely.

Jack: Something weird is happening.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Now we have a giant, giant, giant issue here. We know that the recordings came later and eventually mentioned the unicorn that existed in stories before that. So 10,000 years ago, first Indo European stories. Nice, nice sum. Considering that language complexifies so much so quickly because it only took 50,000 years to get to real complicated conversation.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: We started a hundred thousand years ago, and then we made it to 50,000 years ago. We're like, what's up, dude? You know, like, okay, whoa. So, yeah, you do for 40,000 more years and you're At a place where you could be like, well, yeah, there was a thing in a place and stuff happened. And then the volcano blows up. You all run away in every direction and you left with the. Yeah, the thing. But you wouldn't know about the place these other people went to. There's one consistent thing that we cannot fix about this narrative. I'm telling you right now, there is no way any of this information could travel. There's no way. We haven't made any methods for this information to go from one place to another in such short times.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And information that is consistent. So there is a story that is in both Russia and Greece is right on the verge of when things started to be written. How do you get it from one place to another? There is many, many, many, many structures along an equator line that doesn't even exist. And there wasn't science in order to track it in the first place, but the information still got out. Do you see the pattern? We have a lot of information that's moving quickly in speeds that are impossible for the time that the people existed. This leads to one single thing. There had to be higher advanced technologies that existed around this time that we have no knowledge of for them to.

Cristina: Get the story from one place here.

Jack: Yes. And we're talking the further back we go, the harder it gets. So the equator is the hard one. That's the real hard one. Because how did you get the structures? It's easier to move the word than it is to move the rock. You know, how do you get the information all the way up there and then they build it? Problematic. And we're talking some of these structures are right there at the edge of when writing began. There's no way this was so complicated that you could send the coordinates. So we got a problem. Definitely. There had to be some ancient advanced civilization. But there's no trace. Funny enough, there's also no trace.

Cristina: What's the fastest way to, like, send the message, though? Like when they were saying horseback. Okay. I was gonna say birds, but that's. Horseback is faster.

Jack: I mean, a bird would be faster, but you'd need to know where you're sending the bird to in the first place. But with a horse, you are the explorer.

Cristina: Yeah. Okay.

Jack: You would have already needed to get to where you're going, show the bird how to get there. And now you have a messenger bird.

Cristina: Ah, okay. Okay.

Jack: You need to show the bird where to go.

Cristina: That's difficult. Okay, I see.

Jack: You already have to travel there.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah.

Jack: So there's a problem. So we have no evidence of past advanced civilizations, but we simultaneously don't have any accidental cave drawings or markings left behind anywhere. Now, why is this relevant? Because we know of a past advanced civilization that might have existed, and it might be Atlantis. Okay, now, interesting part about that. It also falls on the equator, the ancient one. And, okay, we know mentions of Atlantis are abundant in records all over the place. They really believe those people existed. But also, there's no trace of those people. But also, they claim those people were highly advanced. Yeah, but also, the structures that are lining the equator are way more advanced than the people who built them were. So let me explain. There was an advanced civilization on the equator who did have the capacity to create the science and then pass that on and probably had the ability to transport it where it need needed to go and existed roughly around the same time that we needed for that to be the case for the information to get where it needed to. So then the structures got built afterwards. It completely solves every problem that this timeline has to just say Atlantis that is actually on the equator existed. And if that's the case, then, yes, they had the science. They could do the math and find out where this line goes.

Cristina: You think they have the caves?

Jack: We'll get there.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: He's got to stay on topic, man. We get there. You know, you going over there when I'm over here trying to explain to you what's going on. Atlantis had the science, and if they have the science and they're as advanced as claiming, then they are the first advanced civilization.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But we're talking technology to our scale or greater. Yes, factually. Now, the other thing that's interesting here is we're thinking of people like the Egyptians that built the pyramids, and we're like, oh, how complicated? But actually, we forget that these people were about as advanced as we are. We just think back. We're like, oh, they had to be ancient, but no, they had to be about at our level. Which is complicated because, yes, everything you built would suggest that unless somebody helped you, but then they. They sort of violated the prime directive and moved you quicker. But it's fine, because they're just like you. They're people like you. They're human, too. So. Because here's why that's important information. How did we so fast get to the Egyptians Popped up, and suddenly they're just the way we are. How did these civilizations so quickly get from point A to point B so long ago that they were where we are? Unless this information is wrong and they started further back.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But they didn't. Because we can prove that there's no trace of that. We can date these people to where they began. So the fact that they were at our stage does not make sense. But we know they were. Which is weird. So again, we came across a problem. Unless we insert Atlantis into the equation. Again.

Cristina: And how does that help?

Jack: Because you have people who are already sharing the knowledge. That's how you got the coordinates. That's how you traveled across the world. You have the people gonna see you.

Cristina: Okay. These are the special people who are helping everyone else advance.

Jack: Yes. They are so advanced themselves that they're helping everyone else. Two things conflict. One. Where are they? There are things that suggest underwater. There are pillars. There are structures. Quite advanced structures. Complicated rock designs and decorations leading into the water.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: They could have sunk. But then we go in the water and we find nothing but these structures. Highly advanced people wouldn't just die out.

Cristina: You're gonna say they went into space.

Jack: They went into space.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Interesting things that are gonna follow. Now we know that not only did Atlantis kind of plop off the face of the Earth with everything they had, but we know that there are two different groups of people on other parts of Earth that just also suddenly disappeared. And we believe some of them went down. But we also believe some of them went down. Up. Now we have no proof that anybody went down. That's just you guys seem to be quite introverted as a civilization and not going outward at all. So we assume based on the fact that there's catacombs and tunnels that we can't unclog and follow, that you're probably underneath all your structures. Buried.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Or plugged into some matrixy crap. Because it happened. Like, how did everybody do it?

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Weird. How did everybody just. Overnight. Everybody's gone. That's the weirdest part about the mayans. It under 50 years every. Unless some crazy plague got ripped. But then where all the remains.

Cristina: Like if they were underground and dead.

Jack: That's possible. But we would see something. We would have seen some groups of people or something. The fact that there's almost no trace of these people other than, like all their stuff is there. But where the bodies. That's why they have to be underground until you remember that. We also don't have the cave drawings and no link in those directions. Like where this should be older. The idea would be maybe there are cave drawings but there aren't remains. Because somebody took those people. And the people who took those people might have been the same People who are sharing the knowledge. Because you need to take people of every walk of life if you're gonna go explore. So Atlantis people not only advanced Earth by giving everybody information that would allow them to advance way beyond. We're talking that the Egypt, in a 1500 time period, managed to become as sophisticated as we are. Are you kidding me? And then afterwards, it took us longer to get to the same point.

Cristina: So they help everyone and they took some of everyone.

Jack: Yeah, but think about the logic of what I just said. In about 1500 years, they came to exist and got to where we are technologically, and we are still getting to where we are technologically. And it's been like 10,000 years. Do you see the problem? Huge discrepancies in what's happening. Either we are nowhere near as sophisticated as the Egyptians were and as the Mayans were, or they weren't as sophisticated as they were.

Cristina: They got help.

Jack: They got help, and then a bunch of them disappeared with literal no trace. And we're talking from advanced civilizations to primitive people.

Cristina: Are you saying the Egyptians disappeared?

Jack: No, the Egyptians didn't disappear. The structures are complex. Mines. As a beard.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And there are. I don't remember the other one that we talked about that they had the thing that opens, and then they could, like, in theory, have a rocket, which the Egyptians also had, but the Egyptians didn't actually use it. And it's more likely that theirs is.

Cristina: A laser or battery. Yeah.

Jack: While there was a different pyramid that had the ability to open at the tip. We know that only one of the pyramids in of the ancient Egypt pyramids does because they actually capped with a metallic or gold tip.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So a bunch of them couldn't open. I don't remember where this other one was, but it's in the Ancient Advanced Civilizations episode, if you guys want to listen to that. Okay, so we need to connect the Atlanteans to the last bit of information we have here in order to complete our informational circle.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The first written mention Atlantis just so happened to come from Greece. And the first mention of Atlantis in the Greek documents happens to talk about how they have bestiaries globally. And one of the most interesting parts about Atlantis and their bestiary is that according to. Because we don't have them, according to the Greeks, their creatures were of magic. What? And the Greeks only describe one other creature, but they say that creature is not magic. So weird. But in both cases, we seem to be talking about a very similar creature, because the Atlanteans had what would, in theory, now just be considered a Pegasus.

Cristina: Wait, what?

Jack: Yeah, Atlanteans had Pegasus, which then goes ahead and explains how you're locally traveling. And then you probably have advanced technologies that are also getting you across the world. So we have travel established very monstrously here.

Cristina: If they have flying horses. Yes. Okay. What?

Jack: Weirdly enough, how are you saying these people have flying horses but you have a unicorn? That doesn't happen. It's real. It's real. But it is magic. Yeah, but it's real. As opposed to. But they also believe that the Atlanteans had real Pegasus.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Okay. Actually, they believe all of this is real. They do believe that there's mythology, but unicorns don't show up in Greek mythology. They show up in Greek documents.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: These same documents. And go ahead and mention the Pegasus.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And the fact that the Atlanteans had bestiaries with creatures that they'd never seen before.

Cristina: Not just like the Pegasus.

Jack: Not just the Pegasus. There's a plethora. But that's the important one right now.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because the fact that they can ride a Pegasus, that is magic. They can travel and that there is a horse that is also magic and happens to be in Greece. We're getting close now. We're getting to similarities. Both have magical horses. The one important thing about this document from Greece is the weirdest part about this.

Cristina: What?

Jack: The people from Atlantis would visit and they would fly their horse to one location.

Cristina: Mountain.

Jack: A mountain. And they would unmount there and then come out. Where was it? It was Mount f****** Athos.

Cristina: Is that why they had those horses there? Like did the. The unicorns.

Jack: No, no, I didn't meet them. Did not meet them. I know that there were unicorns and they were landing up there with Pegasus.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That mountain, for whatever reason, is sacred for horses.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And the mention of this mountain relative to unicorns. And the mention of this mountain then relative to Pegasus. Weird.

Cristina: That is very strange.

Jack: Not the strangest part.

Cristina: What?

Jack: The strangest part is that they apparently, without having to be virgins, can easily interact with unicorns. That's the weirdest part about these documents. That the Atlanteans can. That they're what?

Cristina: How do you know that are inversions.

Jack: How did they multiply science. Then they're not human and they're aliens by default. Okay, Immediately broke the argument.

Cristina: They're aliens to begin with.

Jack: So anyways, these aliens that came from outer space and are totally not human helped everybody out and that's the end of the story. Then obviously they had to reproduce. But we Have Atlanteans that have Pegasus land on a mountain that's claimed to have a bunch of unicorns. They seem to tame the unicorns. People have actually come with parts of unicorns from up there to prove that there are unicorns. These people had advanced technologies long before advanced technologies from people who are still here left. They seem to have dipped out because there's no trace of any of their stuff. But a bunch of other people also dipped out. And we know that these people didn't just leave, but they were also communicating with everybody everywhere. So they would have come across these more primitive people, presumably the Atlanteans, to be this far advanced and way above our heads by miles and would have been around much, much, much, much, much longer than even the Indo. The proto Indo Europeans, in fact, so far ago that they were beating maybe. Perhaps language. Maybe they were at the inception of language, which is also around the time that we started seeing the first cave signs. If they predate that and they're helping people consistently, then maybe they're consistently plucking people from different walks of life to bring them and incorporate their knowledge. Oh, you start developing a different way. Let's incorporate you so that we can move up quicker with you.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Oh, you guys are also. Okay, we're gonna. And then as we get knowledge, we're also gonna share it. We're also gonna share it everywhere. Share it everywhere. Where'd you get the idea to start cutting these rocks in the first place? Somebody gave it to you.

Cristina: Mm. You didn't just idea.

Jack: Yeah. You didn't just stumble, but somebody gave it to you. But it wasn't aliens. That doesn't make any sense.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But somebody did gave it to you. And yeah, language got complex really quickly, and words started pretty basic off, but you would have started drawing at that time. Unless when you started coming up with language, somebody took note and they're like, oh, these guys are smart enough to start coming up with language. Let's start scooping some up and see how it goes.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: So you took the people who would leave the least amount of trays but you would keep safe. And then we never find their bodies, which means they never lead us to the caves in the first place. And boom, we answered that question too. On top of the fact that then with all their science, they go ahead and share with everybody, because apparently they have flying horses and extremely advanced technologies that then allow them to give other groups of people. Hey, if you put it right here, you align perfectly, and then that would explain everything. That's happening in Egypt with extremely detailed information. Something about that spot is particularly sacred to the people of Atlantis. Which would be because it is itself an area of advanced technology With a really complicated laser. That's probably not even a laser. But rather a transportation which we've established has a literal chamber inside.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That you would connect straight to the beam. That has the battery design and happens to be in Egypt. Which is the most advanced of all. And it's also the most mathematically complicated position wise. And we know people disappeared. There is something that could matter you out of here without a trace.

Cristina: And only the Atlantic people knew. How?

Jack: I don't know because I didn't talk to those people. But according to what we're talking about, the people of Atlantis disappeared. And there is a transport device on the equator. And how did they even get that level of technology themselves? Because we know that's not possible. But they did have it. So you had things you shouldn't have. There are people missing. And you have a transport device that happens to be on the line that those people who did have the tech also happen to be on.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And they could travel to you even if you can't travel to them.

Cristina: And they're all just gone.

Jack: Yeah. So the idea here is all these structures aren't just normal structures. These are structures that were plotted by the people of Atlantis for different purposes. Including our transport device. But there's also giant clocks. There's space measurement devices. There's constellation measurement devices. Timekeeping. Just really highly advanced stone structures that wouldn't savagely disrupt a civilization. But would give them enough advantage over the people around them. And all happened around exactly the same time. I'll show you how weird this is. I'm just gonna give you the years of when a lot of these structures happen to line together. We have one, two, three different structures that happened about 4,500 years ago. And they are all on the equator. And they are about equal distance from each other circling the earth.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: How did you all manage to get exactly the same information, Put your structures in exactly the same place and not have any means of transportation to cross Earth?

Cristina: How many of them? Four. You said three. Three. Okay, three.

Jack: That's not even the biggest problem. Considering that there's another three that also happen to be around the same time. And again the same issue arises. You guys are too spread out across the Earth. How? These are 6,500 years apart. The other one is 4,500 years apart. And in both cases three structures separated by a planet all landed on the equator at the same time. At the same time.

Cristina: Crazy. Okay.

Jack: And this happened 2,000 years later again.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Three different structures around the world. Too far apart.

Cristina: Okay, that is very strange.

Jack: Somebody's telling them.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And they're not doing it because how. How are you getting all the way from India all the way to Australia? Not getting lost. Dropping something in Australia, Dropping something in India. Dropping something in Europe. Like what?

Cristina: Okay, what?

Jack: So the solution would be that the people that there were highly advanced people helping that would solve the problem. The people that were. They were literally on the equator, and we know their structures on the equator. The people went missing because they probably just dipped out with a bunch of other people that they got information from as they started seeing intelligence happen elsewhere. Yeah, it's. It's quite possible.

Cristina: Do you think they're related to the unicorns that are on that hill, though, because of the Pegasus that they have, or you think those are unrelated?

Jack: I don't think the unicorns belong to them. It's just the fact that there are highly advanced people that are both gone and claim to have been real by the same people also claim to have a flying horse and fly that horse to where there's already allegedly unicorns and say that these people can interact and tame the creature. You can't even come across. So it's just a bunch of random crap that somehow happened altogether interesting. And so as of now, with the mention of unicorns even existing outside of Greece, I thought Greece was the only people who thought it was real. But no, Russia believes so too many.

Cristina: Think it's in Greece, and they think.

Jack: It'S in Greece and they mention the mountain by name.

Cristina: Okay, okay.

Jack: Not only that, John was Russian and he handed our merchant the powder.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Or it was the horn. Yeah, it was a horn. Yeah, he gave the whole horn to.

Cristina: The guy and it pretty much became powder at the end of the story. Okay.

Jack: He's given it by a Russian.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Who said it came from Mount Athos. There happens to be a story in Russia about Mount Athos and unicorns. And the only other people who believe that there are unicorns in Mount Athos and there aren't just mythology, but rather real, are the Greek who own Mount Athos and also said the Atlanteans are the weirdest people because they just go there and the horses don't run away.

Cristina: How many stories? Like, is Atlantis mentioned in a lot of places around the world?

Jack: Yes, it is an absurd amount.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It's like. But the problem is Atlantis spun into mythology real quick.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: The idea is, why did that happen? Why did it so. Because the main reason is you can't find them. So it so easily became mythology. It's the same thing as the Mayans, but for some reason we're like, oh, they were people. Yes, but the Atlantis.

Cristina: No.

Jack: It would be crazy if. But us. Our narcissism is in there too. Like, they couldn't have been more than us. We're the people peak at the moment.

Cristina: Of course. Yeah.

Jack: We're always the peak, bro. We always think that before when we were in the stones, we're like, we're the peak. And there were like, people better than us. Whatever. Yeah. So that's basically the idea here. Definitely. Unicorns seem to have been at least tamed in the slightest way by the same Russians who did believe that they. Not the same Russians. The Atlanteans, in the place that both the Russians and the Greek believe that they would be.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And the same people mentioning the unicorns, the Atlanteans and the Pegasus that happened to also have a bunch of records of other encounters with unicorns. Mention the high advanced nature of the Atlanteans. And then the Atlanteans land on the equator that was old. That then happens to be where all the other structures are that the only people who could access that would be the Atlanteans.

Cristina: Because they could just fly to each location.

Jack: Bare minimum. If we don't know that they have the technology.

Cristina: The.

Jack: That was the point of mentioning the Pegasus.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Bare minimum. You have a horse that doesn't have to slow down. You have flight. You beat everybody. You have flight, bare minimum. You got no tech, you have flight.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Bare minimum. But if that's the case, you also have magic because they still mention the fact that you're taming horses that literally disappear in front of people's eyes and you have a horse that freaking flies.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So if you don't have technology, you are literally messing around with magic. In either instance, you are way above everybody else.

Cristina: Yes. Yes.

Jack: The only answer to every problem we have come across is that the Atlanteans must exist. Is that.

Cristina: And they must be like a super advanced civilization, at least compared to everyone else at the time. Yes, they were.

Jack: They were so far advanced even back then that they are more advanced than us by like a thousand years. That's how crazy that is. Okay. So, yeah, basically I'd say I want to. There's. There's way more we didn't get to. There's like half of this, though, to go And I didn't get to it because there's a lot. And it's just. Just trying to conclude that all of this is possible. If we insert Atlantis, but it all falls apart, and we don't know how anything functions. If we extract them, but we believe reality that's accurate is the one with them extracted, which is like. You guys realize the solution is literally right there. If you insert that, everything works out. Which is funny because scientists jokingly have joke papers suggesting the same thing, but none of it is official. And it's all in joke. And it's like. But. But you saw what. Yeah, you saw what the rest of us concluded. Sort of. But they don't believe it's real.

Cristina: That is lame.

Jack: And they do not connect the. The. The unicorn that had. That was complicated research to tie all that back in a circle that led back to the unicorn.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Because that's actually where I started. That was the hardest part, figuring that out. And then everything else just kind of fell out of that.

Cristina: That's so crazy. And there's still more.

Jack: Still more. Because it was weird. I chased the unicorn, just digging deeper, and then the very Pegasus. Well, I was like. I was just trying to expand on it. I didn't find a Pegasus. That happened to happen after Atlantis connected to everything.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But looking for it, I found the story that the Russians had. And then going through that, I'm like, okay, so this is pretty hefty mention. And it's about the same mountain. What else happens in this mountain? What is. What are all the things that happen in this mountain? Atlantis. Why is Atlantis touching this mountain? That's sketchy.

Cristina: That is. Is there more? Did you look at a bunch more?

Jack: No, there wasn't a lot. It's pretty bare minimum that's happening on that mountain. It just happens to be like, Atlantis, the Pegasus. There is a fight that happened between a giant, and it's either his burial site or the giant through a rock. That is the mountain. One of those two. But that's mythology. That's Greek mythology.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: When it comes to actual records that they believe are real and wrote in honesty, believing this were like, these were events. They truly believe the Atlanteans would park a Pegasus on top of the mountain, hang out with some unicorns, and then come out and trade.

Cristina: Interesting.

Jack: Well, so anytime Atlanteans showed up, you would expect them to come from Mount Athos. Even if they were not living on Mount Athos.

Cristina: Didn't they have any idea where Atlantis was?

Jack: The Gulf.

Cristina: That's what they knew that too, yeah.

Jack: Everybody believes it was in the prison.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So, yeah. Fascinating couple of details there. See, also, wouldn't that suggest that Atlantis. They were Middle Eastern?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Right.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The most advanced people in the world were Middle Eastern. Yeah, that checks out. It would have been some of the earliest people. In fact, the Middle east is directly above Africa, where we believe everything began.

Cristina: So that makes sense too.

Jack: Checks out that. Yeah, I didn't even think about that before, but, yeah, that totally fits. Even more.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The narrative just got tighter by remembering that. Oh, yeah, the first people are the north of Africa, the south of the Middle east, which would essentially just surround the Persian Gulf. If you wait long enough, they could migrate there, established civilization at the beginning of time, quickly move forward, and boom, we have what we now know. The one detail I'll add, we're way over time, so we're gonna close this right here. Is that if that's the case. And yes, they're the Middle Eastern people, and they are in this very specific region. In order for them to get to that level of advance, they also needed to go through trials and tribulations like all the other creatures that then became advanced. This would mean that they probably weren't from our time. They're not H*** sapiens. They might have been one of the other groups.

Cristina: Okay, okay. One of the other.

Jack: One of the other human.

Cristina: Humans. Yeah.

Jack: Okay, interesting. That makes sense, because they would have outdated us, moved faster forward, because we know that the ones that were ancient humans, not ANC humans, but those other cave people, were roughly at the same level we were. If you just say there were some that happened much earlier, which we know, 2.5 million years ago.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: One of those groups could have wandered off, landed here, isolated, become just between each other. Yes, we're working on it. Working on it. Working on an isolation until they're so advanced. By the time we start getting to where we should be seeing things that we're not seeing, they were already too advanced.

Cristina: They were interesting. Okay, so they're not even human, or. They are.

Jack: They are humanoid. They're not alien.

Cristina: Yeah. Yes.

Jack: Yeah. They're different caveman. That is not our lineage likely. So, yeah. Anyways, just food for thought. So, yeah. Many episodes you guys can look at relative to all this information to catch up. If you are not caught up there. We got unicorn episode. We got an episode with the Merchant. We have an episode talking about the old, old equator. We have a couple of episodes about the ancient advanced civilizations. We have episodes about Atlantis. We have, you know, Quite a lot going on. Aliens intervening. We got the Mayans disappearing. We got all of the Egyptians. The Egyptians and how we used it as well. There's a lot. There's a lot. You guys can find all that stuff on all our feeds and you can get in contact with us and let us know if you like any of it or if you have ideas. Look, if you got input to this, like, something that could fall in here, message us and let us know. You can hit us up on just convopod at TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, wherever.

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

Jack: Yes. And tell people, tell everybody. And this is actually a really interesting, weird thing that isn't normally talked about, but there's a lot of, like, documents that could connect you easily to all this information. You could research this and land at real science. Research that has been done by real scientists, real professionals looking into this and being like, well, that's a weird coincidence. And it's like, maybe stop calling it a coincidence, bro.

Cristina: What if it's not?

Jack: If it solves all your problems, you call that a theory, and then you hypothesize and try to experiment. Simple.

Cristina: Yeah. This has been the rhyming podcast. Thanks for listening. Bye. So let's put kind of that. That's great. Then they could talk about it. The point is to discuss.

Jack: Well, they're gonna be fascinated by watching. They're gonna be so excited watching and being like, what could they possibly be talking about? Oh, my God, I wish I could know. They're not gonna be worried about the fact that they're tied up or anything. Being held, horrified. No, they're like, what could they possibly be talking about in that episode?

Cristina: And then the person hearing it is not going to want to talk about it.

Jack: No, they're just. They're probably not even really paying attention. They're just truly horrified. They're super scared because that other person doesn't even seem to want to help. They just seem to want to be in on it.

Cristina: Yes. Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by great dots.info art by 0lupo and logo by Seth McAllister with social media managed by Amber Black.

+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: I'm your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd, baffling ideas. Like how weird it is that you can say Ben before Aflac, the bird from the. The insurance company. Affleck is insurance, right? Yeah, Affleck.

Cristina: No, I'm. Wait, what's his real name?

Jack: Affleck.

Cristina: And the insurance is Aflac. Are you sure? Is it that similar?

Jack: I. I think. Yeah, I think it's pretty close. I think Ben Affleck and Affleck bird might be one in the same. Now that I think about it, that's the same.

Cristina: That Affleck. Affleck. You know, it has an E, but.

Jack: There'S a T there too, right? Ben Affleck. No, it's just Ben Affleck.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Oh, crap. It's closer than I thought. And then it's Insurance.

Cristina: Affleck, Aflac. Affleck. Oh, my God.

Jack: Oh, my God. Ben Affleck.

Cristina: He was a goose all along.

Jack: He was a goose all along.

Cristina: Is that a goose?

Jack: I think so. Yeah. It's either a goose or a duck or something.

Cristina: Looks like a big duck. But.

Jack: But look, the point is this shows about getting down to the bottom of things. And, like, what better way to start than by assuring the listeners that Ben Affleck was a goose all along.

Cristina: No, I think. Is it. I'm so confused.

Jack: It could be a duck. It could be a duck. It could be a duck. I don't, like, have a clear. A visual. Oh, no, that's a duck.

Cristina: That's a duck. Yeah, man.

Jack: There is an actual Ben Affleck. Good times. Internet is always the winner. Nothing wins against the Internet. But.

Cristina: But we were not the only person on to come up with Ben Affleck and Ben Affleck.

Jack: No, it just checks out. It makes sense as a thing. But that being said, we. Not last episode. Because last episode, the random spiral into no man's land that I embarked on happened. But before that episode, we were dealing with unicorns.

Cristina: The last episode wasn't unicorns also. No, no. It was about the world. Okay. Ancient stuff.

Jack: Yeah. I was led there by unicorns.

Cristina: Yes. Okay.

Jack: But unicorn was not the point of that episode. But two episodes back, unicorns was the point. And I was supposed to jump on the search that I had just done for this for today, for now. But again, I got sidetracked into a bunch of ancient civilizations But I actually did what I said, which was go look. You wanted to know about proof.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Of what things had unicorns done to.

Cristina: Count them as magical.

Jack: To count them as magical.

Cristina: So far, it's just we see them, therefore they're magical. Which makes no sense.

Jack: Well, I have a fascinating, fascinating series of things. And then I have an ancient civilization for you. Another one that happens to have kept enough records to have the mention of unicorn repeatedly.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And such well kept records, in fact, that we can trace people and their movements across the globe if we wanted to. So I did.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: You're gonna be blown away by where this goes, but let's start. Let's start.

Cristina: How many of these have to do with virgins?

Jack: I totally ignored the versions route.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Did it pop up a lot?

Jack: But it was almost the same thing. It was starting to get to the point where it was like, this wasn't really thought out. It really just felt like the fantasy of the time, you know?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like now, dude, you're like, yeah, I want to get pegged by my chick. But back then it was like, I want my chick to be on a unicorn or get f***** by a unicorn or I don't know, something like that. Okay, but not the point. The unicorn was actually mentioned directly in the Bible.

Cristina: Really? But some other mythical animals too, probably.

Jack: Yes, many other mythical animals. Which then establishes the fact that unicorns were what they were talking about because they weren't being confused by the other things they mentioned with horns. Okay, so they were really just that. But also, fair enough. The Bible has just a bunch of fantasy crap happening everywhere. Yes, but in the book Numbers 23:22 specifically says, God brought them out of Egypt. He hath, as it were, the strength of a unicorn. Interesting.

Cristina: So they're saying unicorns are strong. That's not magical, but magical.

Jack: No, that's just because horses are strong.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Any random horse with a defective skull that has a protrusion from it could still just be equally strong as a horse.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And in the Cheronomy 33:17 mentioned again, his glory is like the fist, the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns. Again, nothing special going on there. Just two instances. But I'll get to the magic.

Cristina: The point is that I found unicorns being mentioned. But in the second one, who are they talking about? Do you have any idea?

Jack: No, I was just looking for mentions of the situation specifically. Like, is there unicorns in this text?

Cristina: Okay, there is.

Jack: Yes. Something really weird that I found the absence of And I looked.

Cristina: What?

Jack: And I looked through all the holes I usually do when I can't find something. Like the dark spots. Not a single shred of unicorns mentioned alongside adrenochrome.

Jack: Which after Harry Potter. Makes perfect sense that somebody would think that up.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Nowhere.

Cristina: Nothing about their own blood, though, being used?

Jack: No, no, no. Their blood is used, but it's not adrenochrome.

Cristina: Does it work the same?

Jack: Doesn't seem like it. It has features, but not.

Cristina: It's not the same for sure.

Jack: For sure. So unicorn blood first. It's a thick golden substance.

Cristina: It's cold.

Jack: Interesting thick golden substance. And it's used primarily in potions of sorts. Spell casting potions, specifically, not drinking potions.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And it's quite often used to create a vessel, a body for disembodied soul. It's how you make a functional homunculus. If you can drag the soul out, you just form the body. They were making a body but not having the soul.

Cristina: Wait, yeah.

Jack: You can make a soul. To put.

Cristina: So then that story of that guy who was selling it to people, was he just saying, like, it could cure you or whatever? That's what people thought. Like, when they drunk it and then, like, they die. Can he jump in? No. I guess. When he dies, can he jump into their bodies?

Jack: No. There needs to be somebody conducting a spell.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: As far as we know, he's like.

Cristina: What if he made a spell? I don't know how.

Jack: Yes. Like, in theory, you could probably create some sort of trap spell. Yes. Yeah, but that would be quite elaborate. Yes, but it's possible. It couldn't be, like, written off as impossible. If we're talking magic as possible, then yes, a trap spell would by default be. And yeah, he could hack somebody's house. He could put lie about what he's giving somebody.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: And then have a link of some sort that allows them to. Yeah, but sure, possible. Definitely. But it's mainly used from a magic standpoint when you're making the body.

Cristina: When you're making a body, you have.

Jack: To make an artificial body. It's not to move somebody.

Cristina: Oh, what? You're making a body?

Jack: You're making a body. That's why I used a homunculus as an example. You're making a body.

Cristina: But how do you make a body?

Jack: With the potion and the magic. It's a spell of sorts.

Cristina: It makes a body.

Jack: You use the potion. Yes. And the other parts of the spell to manifest a body. A body for a soul.

Cristina: Okay, that's weird. What?

Jack: There's probably a spell we can look up and do if you needed to know it on a granular level.

Cristina: No, but it just. Magic equals body. I don't.

Jack: Yeah. It would be like if you started waving a wand over an empty area, and then a bunch of light started to begin, and then it overtook the spot, and then the light fades and.

Cristina: There'S just either horrifying, but okay.

Jack: Yeah. And then you move a soul into it, giving it consciousness.

Cristina: So this spell is, like, ridiculous, because it's not just making you a body, it's also, like, you could put whatever soul you want into that body.

Jack: Yeah, well, it needs to be a soul that doesn't have a body.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Somebody dead.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jack: So. Yeah, it's overpowered. Unicorn crap is overpowered. The. This is overpowered. It is. If you were to drink the same blood, you would be immortal.

Cristina: Drinking the unicorn's blood will make you immortal?

Jack: Yep. One shot. One shot, you're just mortal.

Cristina: Then why would you even waste your magic on making a body? I guess, like, if you're trying to bring someone back to life. Yeah, I guess. Okay, that makes sense.

Jack: Yes. That is the way that I think that would be most likely. You.

Cristina: Yes. Yes. Because I'm thinking about yourself. Like, why would you do that? If you could just drink the blood and live forever, why would you move into another body now?

Jack: The horn can be used to grant immortality as well, but only as long as you're regularly consuming teas made from the powder. So a potion, Essentially. As long as you're consuming the potion made by Alicorn, you will remain immortal. So it needs to stay in your system and it will keep you immortal.

Cristina: Is that. Somehow I don't get why that would be the option. If you have the option of the blood or the horns, unless you're. I guess it's more reasonable because what if you do want to die? At least you have the option.

Jack: You have the option. While you drink the blood, you're just screwed. Yeah.

Cristina: Yeah. So that kind of makes sense.

Jack: Yeah. Interesting other things about the horn. Holding it gives you infinite energy. As long as you're in contact with it, you are some savage of sorts. It's not even drinking it. This is contact with the horn, Just touching it.

Cristina: I need a horn. What?

Jack: Yeah. Endless stamina. It makes the. Holding. It just holding it makes the holder capable of seeing magic auras. You could tell what beings are magic beings by holding. By being in contact with this. These are abilities just for touching it?

Cristina: Yeah. There's more than One, I guess there's two so far, but is there more?

Jack: Yeah. If you were to drink from the horn, you would cure any ailment. You don't even need alicorn.

Cristina: You just putting something into the horn and then drinking.

Jack: Yeah. Pour water into it and drink the water. The water's been purified.

Cristina: And then you feel better, and then.

Jack: You will heal poisoning or any disease you've gotten.

Cristina: Who's testing all this out?

Jack: This is just stories from history. A lot of them are Greek.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Holding it halts aging as well. Again, the immortality. But not just you won't die, but you won't age either, as long as you're in contact with. You're not aging for that period of time.

Cristina: Okay, so if you just decide to drink the. The blood, you will live forever, but you'll still be aging.

Jack: I'm assuming that with the blood, you've got pure immortality. Like, that's age. And you're not dying while coming in contact with this keeps you young and keeps you like it's. Yeah, it's immortality again, as long as you're touching it. Yeah, but as you stop touching it.

Cristina: You'Re mortal again, undrinking from it. Not drinking from the powder.

Jack: Drinking the powder regularly would keep you from aging for that period of time and will keep you from dying from any natural causes for that time.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Now, teas made and potions made from the horn can heal anything nice. Of course, they provide special abilities of different sorts, depending on who drinks it. That's the closest. Yeah, that's the closest thing to adrenochrome that I could find. But it doesn't seem like anybody becomes dependent on it.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: The closest thing to dependency is needing to ritually drink the thing. But again, if you just choose that you want to die, you still have the option. So there's reasons to stop taking it. This specifically, if you drink the powder. Yeah. You actually get eternal youth separate from immortality. So maybe you don't have eternal youth after you drank the blood. Maybe you do just have immortality. There is a difference. Unless it's establishing that there is a difference here between the two things. You can make a tea that will give you mortality, and you can make a tea that will give you youth. While drinking the blood gives you both youth and immortality. And being in contact with it, as long as you're in contact with it gives you both the things.

Cristina: That sounds so complicated that drinking it. You can get different things. But it's like, is it because you're making it differently it's in your body.

Jack: You're touching it in one aspect, it's part of you in the other. Now, something we did not consider, didn't cross my mind last time, is unicorn tears is apparently a thing.

Cristina: What do you mean? Like, people drink unicorn tears?

Jack: Yes. The unicorn tears is the equivalent of drinking unicorn blood. So in theory, you could trap a unicorn.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And drink its tears to acquire the same things you would get from the blood.

Cristina: That is so awful you could sell.

Jack: It if you wanted to. In fact, that is the only other thing I know that has been sold other than alicorn.

Cristina: Someone's selling unicorn tears?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: What is it? A merchant? It's a merchant that travels.

Jack: No, no. There's a whole complex story going on with that. Now, another interesting thing about this tear, which I'm assuming happens with the blood as well, but I'm thinking people are greedy with the blood because it's a one shotter, as opposed to the tears, which you can probably continue to milk. But a single teardrop can. Can heal thousands of people. That's the level of potency it has. You can continue to make from that one thing.

Cristina: That's crazy. How do you even. Like how.

Jack: Now, interesting part about that. There is a town in Greece.

Cristina: That's exactly what I thought you were going to say. Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Called.

Jack: Where is the name of this town?

Cristina: Unicornia.

Jack: Unicornia. It's called Simia or something like that. It's the weirdest name.

Cristina: Smurf. Are they blue?

Jack: Oh, no. Okay, so it was in a poros. There was a. What was I trying to tell you?

Cristina: Something happened in a town in Greece. I don't know.

Jack: What was it we were talking about specifically? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a illness going around, and a single teardrop was dropped into a pond, and it healed the. And all the people living off of that water later, attracting some interesting people, which I'll get to in a moment. Let me just go over some of these last details about unicorns. You want specific instances of unicorns being magic outside of their body parts, being used for things?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: There have been unicorns. Let's see. They can heal wounds by touching it with their horn. People have gone into the woods seeking what they have referred to as the. The. The. The forest spirit, which has been described as a horned horse.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: And they go there to be healed, be touched by its sacred horn. And they come back. The unicorn in all of these instances is one with a spiral horn, not just a pointy one.

Cristina: Are there different types of unicorns?

Jack: Could be. Not entirely sure. Similar to the instance of its tears purifying the water in Poros. There's also a unicorn that would regularly walk over a lake in the Persian Gulf, which, ironically, we just talked about as well, when we were talking about ancient civilizations. And where it would walk would be purified and clear, and people would drink that water and people would use that water to heal.

Cristina: Any mentions of anyone having them as.

Jack: Pets, I did not see anything about that.

Cristina: They all just wild.

Jack: Yeah. Because the other interesting thing, which is what I'm getting to now, is that they seem to be capable of not just being elusive out in the wild and outpacing anything trying to see them, but if they happen to be cornered, they can just disappear in front of you.

Cristina: Then how did people get their blood, their horn?

Jack: It's tricky.

Cristina: That's gotta be really tricky.

Jack: Yeah. You got.

Cristina: Again, it's that rare, a dying unicorn.

Jack: Because they're immortal themselves. If they can just be in front of you and not see you, you have an advantage. It's. It's this rare. It's that level of rarity.

Cristina: I wonder if they can heal their horn, though, like, if these people are.

Jack: I'm sure if you got the horn, you killed the thing. I'm sure. That said, at that point, you're using all of its parts, and we're talking about the effectiveness of all its parts.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Because I don't think you'd be able to take its horn and it be alive and conscious. Now, another interesting thing about unicorns, which again, adds to the elusive. They can walk defying gravity. Unicorn can move vertically as if it were walking on the ground. And almost all the Greek stories have that being the instance of it eluding people. You chase it through the woods, and at some point it just starts becoming a little more vertical, and it just up, up, up, and now just above the trees, and you can't catch it.

Cristina: That's funny.

Jack: Yeah. So it's like if it's not outpacing you on the ground and somehow you kept up. Okay. It'll just alter its degree enough to.

Cristina: That's very interesting to see.

Jack: Yeah. So those are some of. And now every single one of those things I've told you come from a Greek source. All of them.

Cristina: Okay. Different sources or.

Jack: Yeah, different sources. Okay, so let's begin. When we were talking about unicorns, we talked about the merchant.

Cristina: Yes. He's coming back.

Jack: The merchant's coming back. Apparently, my mistake was looking through these more public records that were of people's direct Sighting as opposed to looking through actual documents kept. Because when you go through actual documents kept, this man has been tracked. And people were kind of confused and interested in this man. He's been mentioned and he's been in a lot of places. So let us begin with where the first mention of this guy is.

Cristina: Do we have any of his writing? Did he keep any stories or anything? The pizza fun later on?

Jack: No, he just seems to have been a merchant. I don't know if he was even literate because of which you'll see here. Okay, so the merchant in question has a name and his name is Antonio Dracos.

Cristina: That's a very strange name.

Jack: Translates to dragon. Antonio Dragon.

Cristina: He definitely deals with the dread of. With that type of name.

Jack: Hey, who knows? But let us go to where this starts to matter. It is 1730. This is nine years before we had sightings of him in 1739.

Cristina: How many years?

Jack: Nine years prior to the information I provided last time we talked about this man. So this documentation, all of these are just random records kept by record keepers of different sorts. I don't know the relevance or the importance of any of the records. There was a lot. A lot like I was trying to.

Cristina: You have locations?

Jack: Yes, sometimes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They're all happening in Greece. All the records are being in Captain Greece. His movements are tracked because I guess when he returns, he reports his activities. I'm not sure what the case might be. So 19, I mean 1730, Antonio Dracos is given what he was told was unicorn horn at the Jordan river by a Russian man claiming it was from a mountain in Greece. The Russian man handed the horn over prior to his death at the hands of the military. There is no further explanation at what the f***. Why he was being attacked by the military.

Cristina: So this random dude gave the merchant the unicorn that he just uses? Not the unicorn, but the uniform horn that he gives to everyone else.

Jack: Yes. Interesting. Presumably he receives this horn because he's a merchant. And the guy is just like here, there's actually his name, his Russian man named John.

Cristina: John.

Jack: Yeah. I don't know why he was John, but yeah, his name was John. And this Russian man named John was claiming it came from a mountain in Greece, hands it to him and tells him it's the horn of a unicorn. There's no specification if he was told what to do with it or anything.

Cristina: That's so weird. He was just. Well, I mean, who knows? He's just. That's all that they have.

Jack: Yes. And he could not press forward and ask more because the man who provided it, the Russian man, was murdered shortly after by the military. So he couldn't find out, like, what did you hand me and why?

Cristina: Yes, but he figured it out. I'm guessing if he was giving it to people.

Jack: That's unclear.

Cristina: What's unclear?

Jack: Any of this information I provided before, it was all non professional records.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The closest to professional we had was the captain of the ship. The rest of them were just people writing in journals, essentially, old records that somebody retrieved, put away and like somehow successfully matched it to the.

Cristina: He said that he saw him give it to people or he was. Just saw him offering it and he assumed.

Jack: Yes, he made the connection. He didn't. He didn't see any of the of happen.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: He like, definitely saw situations that were suspicious and he's like. It seemed like it would be the thing.

Cristina: And these stories, the new stories that are actually the older stories that you're bringing up, he doesn't sell it to anyone.

Jack: You would find out when we arrive at that point.

Cristina: But you just said that he doesn't.

Jack: I said he. I didn't say he doesn't hand it out.

Cristina: Sure.

Jack: Yeah. But anyways, so that happened in 1730. He receives it from a random Russian guy, no idea where it came from, gets told it's from Greece. He's Greek.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: By the way, he's Greek. And. Yeah, okay, fine. So two years go by before this is mentioned again. Mm, weird.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: This is like a ridiculous amount of time for you to have something crazy like this. The next mention is 1732. Dracos delivers the horn to a priest, Nicolas Severino Albini. Nicolas Averillo Albini in Poros, Greece, which is one of the people attracted by the lake that was purified by the alleged tears of Anacorn. He was led there because of that.

Cristina: The priest.

Jack: Priest was led to that lake because of that, where Dracos then goes and meets the priest. So the priest has been there for a while. He was drawn to that lake because something odd that happened there. Now, while at that lake, he uses the horn to repurify it. And it works.

Cristina: What does that even mean? Like, how can they tell that it's being purified?

Jack: Well, according to them, yeah, according to them, it was toxic water. It was foggy, it was dirty, it was not safe. And then they touched it with the unicorn horn and it became clear instantaneously.

Cristina: Then he tried to steal it.

Jack: Well, it was definitely an illuminating moment. So now they claim it purified the hot spring. It was A natural spring that was there and it didn't heal this man. But in doing that, because again, he was drawn there by like, this is holy water of some sort, but it never turned out to be holy. While he was there is a priest looking for something related to God and he gets here. And this is a dirty lake that was said to be purified. Well, when the spring is purified, a man named, a bishop actually named Lackavos II was suffering a lot of pain and ill. And the spring fully healed this man according to both Dracos and the priest.

Cristina: Okay, what was he dying from?

Jack: Not dying, but he just had illnesses of the past that are probably easily dealt with with like an aspirin, but back then would just murder you.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So yeah, the following year, 1733, that's.

Cristina: The end of that story.

Jack: This is just random.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Things that show up here and there. Dracos and Albini still hanging out together.

Cristina: It seems cool. Okay. That's what I wanted to know.

Jack: Established a research organization and disguised it as an evangelical school.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The sole purpose was to bring the greatest minds in the world and study the horn, which according to the priest, possessed ability to define nature. That was specifically in a record in quotes. That was direct quote from the priest. Possessed the ability to defy nature was the words that man used.

Cristina: So he thinks it's magical.

Jack: He thinks it's magical. He did not at any moment say it's from God.

Cristina: Yeah, that's what I was about to say.

Jack: Now I respect this priest for not making that conclusion by default.

Cristina: That's so weird that he didn't.

Jack: But that's really weird that he didn't. But it's also weird that he would pull people other than other priests. Yeah, he was already open minded. He was looking for any perspective. What are we looking at?

Cristina: Yeah, but that's just crazy because you would assume he would just connect the dots to God without needing any or. Well, no, it being evil.

Jack: Like religion is a cult today. And religion was a cult surrounding the ideology of Jesus in a specific form. But religion has not always been the case. Isaac Newton was a Catholic. You know, Christians have been some of the most open minded people in the world and the most progressive people in the world. It's the cultists that believe that science is not a gift from God, but rather that despite all your scientific advancements, God is. It's like, no, okay. Everything could have been God, all of it, even the things we've made. So chill. Scientists believe of the old believe that logic.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The Enlightenment era was filled with that idea that, well, how do we supersede the sciences and religions? Well, let's dive headfirst into the philosophies.

Cristina: Okay. And they made a school.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: So explore the. What it could do.

Jack: Yes. They made a school with the intent of attracting the greatest minds, bring them together and in. Just figure this thing out. Now, it's really interesting that this would be happening around the 1730s to 1740s, because 1730s to about 1760s is considered the Enlightenment here. Interesting that this thing would start moving right at the beginning of that bracket. And you'll notice that it cuts it kind of close to the very end that we mark as the end of the Alienman era. Weird coincidence.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The plot thickens now. Two more years go by, man.

Cristina: Okay, yeah.

Jack: Now he's been with his horn for five years.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: 1735 on its way to a study collective along the Russian Turkish border. Word gets out about an object capable of granting immortality. Leaders and the military on either side of the border immediately try to acquire the horn, taking the lives of several of the scholars in the process.

Cristina: Oh, snap.

Jack: Okay, Draco and Albini go on the run. They're still together so far. Nice buddy cop situation going on. Bromance. Yes. I looked into different. Oh, by the way, again, I don't know. These are just records. But weirdly enough, this ties into a lot of real things that happened at the same time.

Cristina: Like what?

Jack: There was a Russian guy named John who was a really important, like, religious figure. The records don't make any attempt to connect the two dots. So it could just. This is probably just a different guy who's Russian named John, but another Russian guy named John. It was another Russian guy named John. Okay, yeah, that was weird coincidence.

Cristina: Was there another guy named Antonio or whatever his name is?

Jack: Dracos. No, that's the only one I found of him. I only found one because I did go. I had the same thought, like, is this being stolen from throughout the world? I only found one priest called Nico. I could confirm his existence. I could confirm. A lot of the stuff here is just how some of this sticks out. And it's like, man, it's totally possible this guy was that guy over there. And like, well, this is just a record. This problem. This guy had to be objective. He couldn't put religion into it. And he just saw a guy who did a thing and whatever recorded it. Meanwhile, that biblical figure over there did the same thing. And it's like this guy recorded an actual record about something in The Bible. It's like, holy crap, dude. So some of that was happening.

Cristina: Okay, yeah, yeah.

Jack: Like solid records about things like that. And like. Yeah. So the. The Russian John, biblical figure.

Cristina: The Russian. Yeah, Named John.

Jack: The Russian named John, biblical figure. Now, not the same guy because it seems like gap.

Cristina: Wait, they're both Russian?

Jack: They're both Russian, yes. But there's a gap between them. Okay, yeah, like the. Basically you look up the Russian John, some sort of bishop, and he was. He died in the. In like 120.

Cristina: So the merchant and the bishop or whatever he is, the priest. Priests are both Russian.

Jack: No, they're Greek. I think I know that. Antonio Dracos is Greek.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah, I think Nikolai might be. He was either Irish or something like that.

Cristina: I don't remember. Oh, okay.

Jack: He's just traveling scholars for the most part. So they just met him West Bubba or whatever. Actually, no, he might be himself. Greek. I think they're both Greek. I'm not entirely sure.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: But yeah.

Cristina: So they're on the run.

Jack: Yeah, they go on the run following the. Okay, now again, I'm looking. My point of saying this is that I'm looking, you know, I'm confirming things. I'm trying to make sure that these records aren't just bull crap. And yes, there was a crazy war that happened in between Russia and Turkey. Allegedly a political war that was erupted by an unknown situation directly happening at the border, which in these records happen to have a unicorn horn traveling right down the middle. And then two different sides spaz out and try to attack. So there's actually confirmation that a war broke out about some object. Unclear what it was, object or circumstance. Something happened in between both borders that immediately set things off. They claimed it was all political related.

Cristina: But it could be unicorn or related.

Jack: Yeah. Because this thing lines up perfectly in official records.

Cristina: Mm What? How far does their story go?

Jack: We will find out as it progresses.

Cristina: But like, it's a long story.

Jack: It's a story.

Cristina: Now.

Jack: It was last time we hear from them in 1735. Now it is 1739. This is where we had our first note from the people that I provided as sources last time. Like, because we saw him from 1739.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: To 1741 in three countries touching each other. Now we've just been traveling all over the place. Russia, Turkey.

Cristina: We were in Greece, but they're all still. Those are relatively close.

Jack: Just farther than we traveled before. But now he also has a lot more time to get from one place to another, because we're talking 10 years from one point to another. Yeah, so there's that. This makes a lot more sense. But 1739, Albini is killed.

Cristina: Which one's Albini?

Jack: He is the priest.

Cristina: Priest. Okay.

Jack: And the horn is believe lost, ending a great conflict that had begun between Russia and Turkey, of course, which literally ended around that point. Confirmable both in this unrelated record and in the actual records of war.

Cristina: But that's weird because there's still a guy with a unicorn horn. Like, why did they stop? Did they think when they killed that.

Jack: Guy disappeared, they couldn't find it?

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It just. Poof.

Cristina: That's crazy. Okay.

Jack: Yes. 1740. This is the second time we see him. While hiding out in the island of Chios in Greece, Drakos meets a man named John. A different man named John claims to have come in contact with a unicorn horn ages ago. Warns Drakos that simply touching it has drastically affected his life. Now, this was unclear if he meant him touching it or you touching it has affected your life.

Cristina: Now it sounds like time travel.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: I don't know if it's somehow the same guy you mentioned. Like, the dead coming back and stuff. Like. Is this John? Did he come back?

Jack: No, this is. He knew John.

Cristina: This John, though.

Jack: Yeah. This isn't the Russian John.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Some other guy who's experienced weird things with the unicorn.

Jack: Yes. He says it's been a long time. Like ages ago, I experienced an encounter with a unicorn horn. You've messed up.

Cristina: But how? He doesn't explain what?

Jack: No, these are just almost like blurbs, essentially. Record keeping was whack back then, but then again, this was also the most advanced level of recording.

Cristina: This would be the closest to, like, it can do bad. It could be similar to adrenochrome, but.

Jack: Yeah, totally didn't specify any of that. Yeah, some weird middle ground, essentially. But we go then a little farther. So he meets a guy named John. And this guy named John, direct, straight, goes to the residence of a theologian and philosopher, Vilkentios de Mados. There he meets a carpenter as well, who went by the name of Harrison.

Cristina: Okay, I thought you say John again, but okay.

Jack: No. So we got the models and we.

Cristina: Have Harrison Carpenter and a what again?

Jack: A carpenter. And the other one is a theologian and philosopher. And he meets them there as directed by John, who then saw him with the horn and it's like, you messed up, but okay, you need the next lead. Go that way. That's where you need to go with this thing now. Okay. There are many people who have Seen unicorn horns at this point. We have the guy who gave it to him. We have the people he's shown it to. Philosophers. Entire collective of people who got together. Yeah. Just trying to study this thing in secrecy without the word getting out. We saw what happened the second. The second the word got out.

Cristina: Countries at war.

Jack: Countries at war. Instantaneously.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So this is an interesting problem. To have to own this thing. That seems to be the real deal.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And not know what to do with it. You can't. Obviously you can't. Just. My. My idea here is Draco's. Keeps wandering with this thing because he doesn't want it to fall into the wrong hands. That's my theory. Because why is he still traveling with this thing?

Cristina: Yes. But he still wants to show it to people too.

Jack: He wants to study it. He hasn't shown it to strangers. He's always taking it to the next person who should see it. Not a stranger.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It's always the next individual that should see it. That's somebody who has a different perspective. Somebody who studies things. Somebody who's experienced in some manner, shape, or form related to some manner, shape or form of something they've seen similar. It's weird that no hunters are mentioned in the story or anything of that nature, because that seems like something that would make perfect sense.

Cristina: Yes. I still wonder, like, what was that warning about?

Jack: What was the warning about? That's unclear. This man is like bad luck for you, bro. Alternatively, one of the things you get from touching the horn is you have infinite luck while you're in contact with it. That was actually one of the abilities. Luck. Go gamble while holding that horn. It's going to work out.

Cristina: That's awesome. Okay. I mean, I guess the only. The only real bad luck is people trying to kill you.

Jack: Yeah. Which is happening instantaneously. And they lost many intelligent minds because of their presence around it.

Cristina: Mm. I don't know. It's tricky.

Jack: Interesting problem. Right?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So this thing has traveled quite the distance. There's been a million places. And 1950 rolls by after he's met Demon. This is. This is the leap. This is a 10 year jump. The last time we hear from him, he came. He came. It was 1740. We only hear from him. Following the last note is the captain's logs for his ship. And that's only one year after this point. Which means we have no record of him from 1741 to 1750. And then all we have is in 1750, the Draco dies. According to the models, as a result of an experiment conducted on the remaining fragments of the horn. Something.

Cristina: Say that again.

Jack: Dracos dies according to the mottos.

Cristina: Which one's the models?

Jack: The philosopher, theologian. He. As a result of an experiment conducted on the remaining fragments of the horn. What happened in the nine years? Where's the rest of it? Why is it fragmented?

Cristina: Well, he's been testing out that whole time.

Jack: Fair enough. You're thinking this whole time it's just these people and whoever else. Like scientists and philosophers that could get together just working on it quietly telling nobody because it was just too dangerous to have out there.

Cristina: Okay, but what? That doesn't even make sense because it's supposed to keep you alive forever. But somehow he died from it.

Jack: I. Something happened relative to it. We don't know what Draco said it was. Dimato said it was part of an experiment.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So it could have might have not been the horn. Maybe he's too much energy shot out of the thing at once and killed him. Who knows? Harrison still with them? The carpenter. Weird.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Takes one third of the remaining fragments back. Actually, no. Takes 2/3 of the remaining fragments back to England and leaves one third for the models. Divides those two thirds he took into two sets. One to remain in England and the other is given to an American named Franklin. Spread between these two countries. Why don't I.

Cristina: What's this Franklin?

Jack: Dunno. Some connection of Harrison.

Cristina: What? It's so random. This carpenter just decides I'm gonna take it. I'm gonna give it to this other guy.

Jack: Been with these two other people and who knows how many others for the last nine years.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He's not just a carpenter.

Cristina: But what is he planning to do? Did they say.

Jack: Now we don't hear from any of these people directly anymore. We have a gap. That record was in 1750, 1810.

Cristina: How many years is that?

Jack: That is 60 years later.

Cristina: Someone's. Okay. What's going on?

Jack: A Greek record written by a macarios claims a man named Euthymius was in possession of a substance similar to one he studied in his youth under a man named Dracos in the early 1950s. And that Euthymius claims he got it from a mountain named Athos.

Cristina: Mountain?

Jack: A mountain named Athos? I confirmed that is a mountain in Greece.

Cristina: Okay, but I thought the original guy got it on a mountain in Russia.

Jack: Then he got on the mountain Greece.

Cristina: The first guy.

Jack: Yes. You are talking about the Russian.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And the Russian specifically says he got it from a mountain in Greece.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: And now we have another Guy claiming he has shown up with something identical from a mountain in Greece.

Cristina: So unicorns are hanging out on mountaintops?

Jack: Mountaintops in Greece, apparently so. That's weird.

Cristina: That is weird. But it's right, I guess. I mean, that's. If you're gonna find them somewhere like that. Seems like where they like to be.

Jack: Yeah, I guess it would be.

Cristina: We gotta go there.

Jack: Well, I looked up Makarios, and it was either in 1812 or 1813, that man died.

Cristina: Which one's Macario?

Jack: He's the guy who wrote the record.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Oh, no. My bad. I didn't. Makarios was the record writer. The guy who died was Euthemius, the.

Cristina: Guy who went to the mountain.

Jack: The guy who got the unicorn from the. The horn. The horn from the mountain or the material. Whatever. He got the thing from the mountain. He was executed by the church two, three years later.

Cristina: The church.

Jack: The church.

Cristina: Interesting. Yes. And because the unicorn, even if he had some of the unicorn stuff, it doesn't keep you alive forever.

Jack: No. You have to be in contact with it, or you have to drink the unicorn's blood. He did not acquire this horn. He. He was in possession of it. Otherwise he would have been immortal.

Jack: I guess immortality means they could have.

Cristina: Taken away from him and then he stopped being immortal.

Jack: I guess you could still die if you're immortal. My thought is you're just not gonna die of natural causes your age. But, like, I could walk up and shoot you with a gun, right?

Cristina: Yes. I don't know. They aren't really specific.

Jack: It never said they're bulletproof or something, you know, like my blade could not pierce his skin or anything. That was never mentioned.

Cristina: Yeah. There's so far no mention of someone who lived forever.

Jack: Yes. It was always like, you still died from, like, some horrible thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now 1815 is the last record. Mention of this From Greek Records. 1815, a Greek record written by a different man named Aus, claims that he acquired a horn of a horse atop the Mount Athos.

Cristina: Whoa. So he got a unicorn and that was it. That's it. He just mentions it.

Jack: It never gets mentioned again. It looks like that's the last record he ever wrote. He was not old either. He was in his mid-20s.

Cristina: Someone killed him. That has to be the only reason. Because the other guy got to do this whole school. He got on an adventure. He was also killed.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Everyone involved in, you know, like, the guy warned him something bad is gonna happen.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: And it's not that the unicorn horn.

Jack: Is gonna do something that's everybody else. It's. You know what it reminds me a lot of. And like, who knows if this was the direct inspiration for this, but it sounds a lot like the ring from Lord of the Rings.

Cristina: Yes. The way they get obsessed with it.

Jack: Yes. There was wars fought over this ring. Like, what. What's our junior. Rolling. That's the name of the lady wrote this. Or the guy who. Whatever. Whoever. No, that's from Harry Potter. Right. J.K. rowling. That's Harry Potter. Well, whoever.

Cristina: The JJR or something.

Jack: Yeah, that guy, whoever wrote this might have been directly inspired. Wait, when? How long ago was that guy?

Cristina: Let's find out.

Jack: Okay, so he was definitely. He was a well informed, studied guy in all areas of mythology and theology. So it's definitely possible that the works of Tolkien were inspired by at least some aspects of Greek writing and record keeping. Because he was into all of it. He was into all of the things.

Cristina: He's into all the things. That's crazy.

Jack: Yeah. So his work is mesh of a lot of things. He definitely saw something that told him about an object everybody was chasing.

Cristina: Yes. What did that. What inspired him for that little part? That's so exact.

Jack: Yes, that's so exact and feels so identical to what we're seeing here of entire countries erupting into chaos entirely because of the mention.

Cristina: Oh, it's. Come on. It's the same story.

Jack: It feels the same. People chasing people through treks across years just looking for the thing. These guys ran away. They were on the move for nine years before they still found them and killed. Like, what?

Cristina: And we don't. And what if the people were also obsessed with it as well? Like he was traveling to meet other people. Were they becoming also obsessed with it? Everyone he brought the horn to also.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Became very involved.

Jack: One of the interesting things about one of those notes is the fact that it didn't just say that they were attacked and went on the run. It said that there were a bunch of philosophers there that died.

Cristina: Whole school was with them.

Jack: Yeah. Everybody started just walking behind the horn.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Everybody who came in contact with it wanted to see it, wanted to touch it, wanted to be around it.

Cristina: They might not have been fighting each other for it because they were sharing it. They weren't like, it doesn't make you that greedy except for if you want it and you're outside of the group. Yes, yes. Those people want it now.

Jack: Weird, weird, weird, weird, weird, weird. Because we have an example, something very similar to this, and this is the fact that a man named Jesus Kept walking around and people just started following him. Little by little we just meet them, give them some sort of quote, enlightenment, unquote. And now these people, regardless of religion, regardless of background, regardless of crime you've committed, people you hate, what side of any war you might be on, you're.

Cristina: Just like, he had uniform blood or something. Like he was also doing magic.

Jack: He was also doing magic. Now again, we. We definitely very sure that he's a vampire. Everything on paper suggests vampire, but there's this one just similarity that's even more similar than adrenochrome. Because people get obsessed with adrenochrome, but uncontrollably. You're gonna be greedy on adrenochrome.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Everybody's greedy on a drainicle. But doesn't seem to be the case if you're around the unicorn horn. No, you guys can share it.

Cristina: Yeah. These guys literally split it three ways.

Jack: And they were all happy to go their separate ways.

Cristina: Yeah. No one. Yeah.

Jack: As long as you have some, you're fine. It's like an addiction, a fix. You need it. Which is actually real similar to adrenochrome.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But these people aren't even drinking it. Being in contact with it takes you to that same place at that same level.

Cristina: Happy with a fragment of it. Like you need a lot of it. You can have the teeniest amount and be like, yeah, this is fine.

Jack: Well, this brings up another point. It just suddenly fragmented in a nine year period. Did people just want a little bit for you? A little bit for you, a little bit for you? Everybody take a piece. It's overpowered. And we'll have infinite power forever if we just take it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Thus the enlightenment. Everybody enlightened.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Had it.

Cristina: Oh, okay then. Layman. Yes, man. Jesus had unicorn blood.

Jack: Jesus was a vampire.

Cristina: He was a vampire, but he was also born from a lady. Like he wasn't just one day. He didn't just. He wasn't born a vampire.

Jack: Yeah. And he definitely wasn't a vampire or powerful anywhere until he was 30 years old. Which means something got to him. It wasn't power he had.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which sounds like vampire. Something bit him. And then he's just always powerful.

Cristina: I don't.

Jack: I mean, we don't know he was bitten. We know he's always powerful. That feels like a vampire. He doesn't need any more of anything. Or he's surviving off of fear, which he's not because he's the peace preacher.

Cristina: Unless he's surviving off a uniform blood. Not even peace. He Just needs to drink it once.

Jack: He just needs to drink it. Fair enough.

Cristina: And then he does her.

Jack: Is that what a vampire is? Somebody who bit somebody after they themselves had unicorn blood? No, because then you still got to drink vampires. Essentially. It. It is, because we know a vampire has. What you're getting is adrenochrome. That is the point. That is the human affliction. You become a vampire, and then when you don't have it, you go feral and become a zombie. So it's literally adrenochrome. Jesus was literally on adrenochrome.

Cristina: He was doing both because he kept.

Jack: He was fixed. He was. He was addicted. He was. He needed to keep gathering more people. And that's where he's getting his source.

Cristina: Yes, for sure.

Jack: So he didn't need unicorns blood. It's similar. And I guess I began wrong by.

Cristina: Saying giving him abilities.

Jack: Maybe the adrenochrome did that.

Cristina: But we don't know what's the limit of that, of those abilities.

Jack: We. There's no limit to adrenochrome. People become literal gods on it.

Cristina: Oh, that's true. Okay. Yes, yes, yes. So he doesn't need.

Jack: There's similarities, but there's. It's different in that you don't need.

Cristina: To consume, but it does help with the whole. Like, how did he get these followers?

Jack: Vampirism and the vampire hypnosis. Why do you want to fix this to Jesus? So hard?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Everything says he's a vampire. Everything assures us we've gone down this road.

Cristina: He's.

Jack: He's definitely a vampire. The first, most likely.

Cristina: But the Church, Are they all vampires? They're not vampires.

Jack: Here's the thing. The Church also seems to be balls deep in adrenochrome. But weirdly enough, one guy is offed by the Church. By the Church. Fun fact. I didn't mention this part because I didn't write those notes. But the last note, 1815. The guy who wrote that note was killed by the Church.

Cristina: What?

Jack: So, yeah, that's why he disappeared, actually.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay. Come on. Okay. The church at least cares about or doesn't care about it. I mean, they care enough that they don't want anyone to have it.

Jack: Nobody could. Church. That's the goal. Nobody overpowers the Church. Anything that has powers, we hide in some chamber somewhere. Yes, and we know the chamber exists. Like this is public knowledge that it exists.

Cristina: Ah. Are they killing you in a corns off too? Is that why there's no stories of unicorns anymore?

Jack: I Don't know. It's pretty messed up because we know.

Cristina: That they go out and kill other quote unquote, demons.

Jack: They make the creatures.

Cristina: They make the creatures. Oh yeah, that's true. They make the creatures.

Jack: It's a mess. The church is. It seems that like the. The. The. The markers are always the same. We always come back to adrenochrome. We always come back to the church. And right now we found a different.

Cristina: Power source that the church is probably covering up or just getting rid of.

Jack: Yes. Because their way, their usual go to is adrenochrome. It's easily accessible. You can get it from anyone. While the elusive unicorn thing. No. But on the flip side, the unicorn is pure. It seems like once you have it, you're good. Adrenochrome, you always gotta come back.

Cristina: And they want that.

Jack: Yes, there's a. And visually, I guess it also fits the same. Right. One is beautiful, vibrant and gold. The other one's crimson and like, twisted looking. Yeah, you always gotta come back for that fix of the crimson one. But that gold beautiful one that comes from the white steed. No, you're good forever and it helps people without even having to consume it. This one. No, you only help yourself.

Cristina: That's what they're all about.

Jack: Interesting. They are. I guess the opposite of adrenochrome is unicorn blood.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: They're similar and different in exactly the right ways to be. Opposites.

Cristina: That's so crazy. We found an opposite to that. You wouldn't think there would be an opposite, but there is.

Jack: And it still bloods.

Cristina: Yes. Well, it's everything.

Jack: Everything.

Cristina: It's the whole horse package.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Yeah. The whole package.

Jack: Yeah. So this is the road I ended up falling down while reading a bunch of. And there were a lot. This is the kind of thing that you just gotta keep typing in the name, every possible combination you can just to see the next thing. I probably missed a lot of records. This is just what I found. We're talking thousands of records from. I mean, millions of records over the course of literal hundreds of years. And I've gotta hope that the names and don't come up with somebody. And again, we're talking Antonio's a common name. Like, that's not an easy search, but.

Cristina: So then you didn't look up anything specific from the church then, besides like this few mentions in the Bible.

Jack: Yeah, because the church doesn't have direct mentions of this at all. The church does quite the effort of making sure they hide it don't. And it seems that those Those early mentions were only left in order to make them seem abstract and detached, not real.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Anyways, that's what I got on unicorn. So there you go. You wanted to know about when are their unicorns being magical?

Cristina: So there is magical unicorns.

Jack: There are magical unicorns. Apparently they seem to exist in exactly the same place, which is Greece, a mountain called Athos. Weirdly enough, the Greeks are the only people who believe that unicorns are real. And they have a consistent, traceable record of encounters with it repeatedly. All of which can be confirmed through other sources. Weird.

Cristina: So it's a thing.

Jack: It's possible unicorns are real. We can't prove it.

Cristina: They've probably all been killed by the church.

Jack: But how does anybody get a hold of a unicorn?

Cristina: They so many people got the horns. Like, what are you talking about?

Jack: Well, we only know in the course of 400 years, four different. Well, actually in the course of three year, 300 years, it was mentioned. No, it wasn't. I guess it wasn't.

Cristina: In that small group of people traveling that was like four horns or three horns.

Jack: It was a hundred years. In the course of a hundred years, that's four horns. Because there's one that was given by the Russian. Yes, that is our main character. Then there is the one that the guy, the random guy John said he'd encountered.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And there's the two that these other people get. We don't know if it's the same horn or if it's two different horns. But the guy that saw the dude get it and the guy, he saw the guy get or not. But that guy was later executed. And the guy who then got a hold of a horn and he himself was executed.

Cristina: Yeah. It'll be more rare if it is still involved with the ones that the other two got.

Jack: Interesting. If it's been the same horn we're talking about. But the problem is the last two said they acquired it at the top of the mountain. On the flip side, they had nothing else of the unicorn. So they were given this. It looks like they're given this and they themselves don't know where it came from.

Cristina: You think unicorns shed or.

Jack: Interesting. I didn't think about that.

Cristina: It's so hard to catch. They can fly away. There's like they got so much abilities.

Jack: Yes. And a lot of the rest of the things involves permanence, but the horn doesn't.

Cristina: So maybe a shed. So maybe a shed.

Jack: Sort of just going up there and acquiring unicorn horns.

Cristina: Interesting. That's awesome.

Jack: So there you go. The possibility of unicorns. Anyways, anyways, if you guys are interested in these kinds of topics, we have an abundance of episodes on mythological creatures of all sorts. We have a bunch of episodes on weird things the church has done in many different instances.

Cristina: Definitely.

Jack: Yeah. There's episodes on all kinds of mythology and monsters and creatures and whatever, Adrenochrome. And we have a prior episode two weeks ago on unicorns. So, like, there's an abundance of places to come back to the source and see how we, like, how we learn.

Cristina: How we end up here.

Jack: Yeah, you guys can find, like, if you're interested in these kind of things and you like this conversation and you want more stuff, you could hit us us up to talk about it on our socials at just Convopod, that's Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok, all those places.

Cristina: Remember to subscribe, rate, and review the show.

Jack: Yes. And word of mouth, people. It's very important that you tell people about the show. Anybody who's interested in Greek records or information, anybody who is interested in mythology and unicorns, anybody who's interested in anything. We talk about it all.

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

Jack: That's the only way. And if you know somebody who already wants to listen to the show with you, you backhand the s*** out of them and you say, how dare you? I didn't ask what. And then you go kidnap somebody anyways after you tied up that person that said they're totally down to listen, and you don't let them hear, but you force the other person to hear and you force the person who was down to hear to watch these. The other person you're forced into here.

Cristina: Well, aren't they gonna hear it?

Jack: No.

Cristina: The other person has. Wearing headphones.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yep.

Cristina: That's awful. You're torturing two different people.

Jack: Nobody told them to volunteer.

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by great dots.info art by Zero Lupo, and logo by Seth McCallister with social media managed by Amber Black.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Cristina: And I'm Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas ever fathomed by the human brain.

Cristina: Like what?

Jack: Like stuff. A lot of it. Amazing sums of stuff.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But listen to me. Some of this stuff is amazing stuff. It's not just normal stuff. There's normal stuff. There's actually some kind of lame stuff too.

Cristina: Yeah, there's a lot of variety.

Jack: There's a lot of varieties of stuff. It's. It's the world, it's Earth. There's a lot of stuff, but some of the stuff is really high caliber stuff. And that stuff, that stuff is a bunch of. Are you ready for it?

Cristina: What?

Jack: Old stuff?

Cristina: Okay. What?

Jack: Mm, a lot of old stuff. So let me begin. I was on my road towards investigating some unicorns.

Cristina: Yay.

Jack: You know?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That was the plan. That was the goal. That was the original thought that I began this quest with. And I decided, hey, let's start this search on this path. And I'm sure I, at some point began investigating unicorns. I'm sure that began. I don't know how far I got.

Cristina: Because you straight away, I have no idea.

Jack: Maybe I don't know where I began, where I landed.

Cristina: You don't know how you landed at where you're at?

Jack: Yes, I began at unicorns. I've been trying. I've been trying to retrace my steps. I don't know how I got there, but. But at some point, I come across a single thing. The equator. I'm like, okay, yes, I'm familiar with the equator. Sweet. What equator? I'm like, whoa.

Cristina: How did you get from one to the other?

Jack: Well, okay, no idea. But as I am investigating the equator, or not investigating the equator, but as I come across the equator, what I come across specifically relating to the equator is that it shifts gradually, but at some point it shifted dramatically. And this lines up kind of neatly with a bunch of ancient civilization monuments.

Cristina: I don't understand.

Jack: Neither do I. Okay, so take a look at this image.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That is Earth.

Cristina: Yep.

Jack: And that is the new equator. Well, that's the old equator. My bad. The equator, that's new to you. That's your new equator. But that's the old equator. That's if you follow the rotation of the Earth and how it's spun and all whatnot. Far back enough, you Land here.

Cristina: Okay, but that means that the Earth.

Jack: Was also impacted at a random moment by a comet that altered its speed and rotation just enough to tilt it to where it is now. And, and two, there was a string of monuments lining up just along the entire equator, encircling the Earth.

Cristina: The old equator.

Jack: The old equator.

Cristina: Were there people alive back then when it was the old equator?

Jack: Don't know. The people that settled along the old equator are people who were alive before the old equator. I mean, after the old equator long ceased existing. Without the means to find out what the old equator was. What?

Cristina: How's that possible?

Jack: There is in fact a list. They call it the Great Circle. And all these monuments exist along that equator.

Cristina: The one that they were not even aware of, the one they couldn't have known of. Like, I don't understand.

Jack: I don't either. All of these monuments, the Naga Temple, Easter Island, Machu Picchu, the Great Pyramid of Giza, just a bunch of. A bunch of all of it. All of the important things, all the things that are important are along the same line.

Cristina: The line that doesn't actually exist.

Jack: A line that doesn't actually exist. There's no way they knew it existed. They just. They were surrounding a line. But then, just a couple of years ago, a scientist discovers that there was an old equator. You trace far back enough, taking into account the impacts we can track and taking into account the rotation of the Earth, where it is now, where we can track it was thus telling us where it would be in reverse time. I guess you throw all those calculations in and you end up where it's going to be in the past, or where it was, I suppose is what I'm trying to say. Where it was and what you end up with is a line that falls on top of all of these monuments and statues and some our entire civilizations.

Cristina: But these happened after way after.

Jack: We're talking that the old equator is 480 million years ago and that the people who somehow all aligned themselves with it were about the furthest back 12,000 years ago.

Cristina: Okay, but they're not all in the same time either. Right. Where are they? A lot of them are around the same time.

Jack: Now, a lot of these monuments are spread out in age by quite a bit. They're really, really old by huge margins. But a lot of them are also quite recent. And it's like, how did you accomplish.

Cristina: So was it random? Because it's not like they could have talked to each other or anything.

Jack: Or could they have?

Cristina: How?

Jack: Well, that would be the question. Right. The question would be if in fact this was intentional, how was it orchestrated surrounding the earth?

Cristina: Mm. You have an answer to that? Mm.

Jack: Okay. So in order to figure out what's going on, we gotta go further back in time. Right. We gotta go back to see where the old equator lands, trace everything that happens and see kind of where it falls. So things we do know roughly about 450 million years ago was the line where it felt fell most exact over a list of over 20 different monuments. And now the molly the monuments are spread out through thousands, hundreds of thousands of years. Sometimes some before we believe people existed.

Cristina: What you're saying they're. That they're so old.

Jack: Yeah. That it's like okay, we know that people must have made this but how old it tells us there are must destroy our understanding of like where humanity began or some crap like that, you know. Okay, so some of those are that there's a lot of gaps here, a lot of missing information. We just know that somehow throughout the course of time people have aligned again. Sometimes they were at the same time, but a lot of the time they weren't. I don't understand how weird aligned just encircling the earth. So some key places that this touches include Europe, India, Australia. So you gotta orient the earth in such a way that this line is going to cross these points. The equator we have runs from our proverbial left to right. If you look at our traditional map, it's just slightly slanted like it starts to lower United States.

Cristina: And the headline.

Jack: Yeah, the current equator. But you'd have to tilt this almost vertically to go through England, to go through India, to go through Australia. Okay. Never really weird line.

Cristina: That is very weird.

Jack: That is strange. But that's how everything is rotating, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So and this pushes the North Pole and the South Pole onto the equator.

Cristina: What do you mean? Wait, those.

Jack: They would have landed on the equator there. That's a consistent temperature at all times. Which is proven with the fact that it has been shown that both the north and South Pole were you know geologists were not discovered long ago that the there were rainforests there.

Cristina: Were there people there?

Jack: Were there people?

Cristina: Yeah. They haven't found any ancient anything on those parts of the world.

Jack: Well that's an argument for a different day. But there is a lot on how to. That's kind of question whether or not there is or isn't. There's some evidence that. But it could have been left afterwards or by travelers coming through in much later years and preserve. The problem is being Preserved obscures your time.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Okay, so it becomes difficult to say whether it was this long ago or this long ago, but there were rainforests there now.

Cristina: What a ridiculous line.

Jack: Yeah, it's. It gets more ridiculous than that. It gets so much more ridiculous than that.

Cristina: How.

Jack: Okay, here is the pyramids of Pizza.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: There is a beautiful line from the tip of all of them.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That is the tip of each one is aligning perfectly to a constellation. I believe this is Orion. And so weird. The weirder part is that the coordinates, I believe, for longitude towards north or something like that is 29.979245. Okay, whatever. But the speed of light is 299-79245, right?

Cristina: Stop lying. What?

Jack: So these are just some interesting tidbits about something that lands on the equator. Now, we already had theories about there being ancient civilizations, and usually it aims towards the Mayans or aims towards the Egyptians.

Cristina: So this lining up does like. That makes sense. It's possible. They see the stars. It looks doable. It makes sense that that's possible. Yes, but the coordinates matching up to.

Jack: The speed of light, how would they know? How would they know? How would they. This suggests that they had knowledge that was discovered and or invented thousands of years later.

Cristina: What were they doing with that knowledge? What would that help them with? What, how and why? And what?

Jack: The problem is, if they have this information, that means they have the capacity to acquire this information, which means they were way more advanced than we thought they were.

Cristina: What were they doing with that information, though?

Jack: Interesting. No?

Cristina: Were they space travelers? This is where we're getting to the point, I think.

Jack: Is it? We're talking about highly advanced civilizations, I don't think. I mean, they're probably space travelers too. Come on.

Cristina: This is crazy, but this is crazy.

Jack: I mean, we have. We're not space travelers. When we have the speed of light, we understand the speed of light.

Cristina: We're traveling in space, at least above us.

Jack: Locally. Yeah, locally. And we're. We're probing a little farther, I suppose. So most of this information is totally impossible that they had based on what we understand, which means we.

Cristina: We understand nothing. We don't understand anything.

Jack: Yeah, that's the usual conclusion.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But they should, in theory, possess in order to accomplish these things, knowledge about geometry and knowledge about physics and mathematics in general that was invented or discovered much later that we believe we invented and discovered recently.

Cristina: Yes, we're wrong.

Jack: But we're wrong because they clearly had it, which means they were about, or at least as good as we were. With evidence. They were as developed as we were with evidence. What does that mean? And we can. I don't know why. When we think back, we think back at outdated people. This information is. Again, I'm framing it in a way that's just changing how you're thinking of something you've been told a million times. Everybody knows this information. But when I word it the way I've worried it, it's suddenly like, wait, they were like us? Exactly, but way back then. Not too different. No, they had our exact capacity, or bare minimum, our knowledge, understanding of how the universe works in their hands.

Cristina: That is so weird. That is weird because you think like, yeah, they're.

Jack: They're long ago.

Cristina: They're long ago.

Jack: So we call them, you know, we call them advanced civilizations. But in comparison to old civilizations, we're like, okay, they were. You know, this is a very. We use words like developed. They were well developed. But we don't like. No, no, no, no. They understood. They got it, man.

Cristina: They got the speed of light. How does that make sense?

Jack: That's. Yes, that's high advanced science. They acquired things we're holding up now as prize, proud possessions.

Cristina: We don't have any of their. Whatever they were studying, like books or anything. They're papers. Can we translate anything?

Jack: We have things that survived time. Papers would be swallowed up. So immediately, no books. No, we got things drawn on a wall. We got, you know, rocks carved into things.

Cristina: None of that means anything.

Jack: Yeah, things that withstand long periods of time as opposed to now. This brings up an interesting different idea, which is maybe a lot of the time. I mean, we build statues just to remember things, but statues tend to be like, some of the stronger things that withstand time. Like a flag is gonna dissolve quickly. This is gonna be eaten up. It's gonna become just organic matter for something simple Rock, statues, things like that. Monuments, the things that get left behind. These giant pyramids, all that stuff. No, that survives time. Maybe the point of that is to leave information behind.

Cristina: Yes. Well, for some reason, because of the whole speed of light thing, that reminded me of the thing we sent into space. Like, what if that's what the pyramids are? We're not meant to understand what's in the pyramids. All those symbols, the. What are they called, the symbols that they write on the walls?

Jack: Hieroglyphs.

Cristina: Yes. What if that's for aliens?

Jack: What if that's for aliens?

Cristina: I mean, the ones outside.

Jack: Yeah. Like ones we can't figure out. The ones we couldn't decipher. Fair enough.

Cristina: Like what if they really believe there was life outside, even if there wasn't?

Jack: Like they were doing what we were doing.

Cristina: Yes. Like we throw things in space hoping to find someone.

Jack: They were out exploring. They were sending messages.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Except they got way more clever about it. They designed the pyramids. Maybe the pyramids were a physical manifestation of something letting space know that we're here. Yes, we're here. Look at what we under. This is how well we understand that you're out there. Look at what we did.

Cristina: Yeah. They not only knew science, they believe in aliens.

Jack: They believed in aliens. Not only did they believe in aliens, they were making. Taking active steps to communicate.

Cristina: Mm. Where everything else on this line doing the same thing, though, because this is one great example of it. But what about everything else that's on that line?

Jack: Okay. Everything on this line is one of these weird monuments like Stonehenge or something like that, that they're a clock that somehow aligns with all the. The constellations in a certain order, the ones that calculate an entire year. And it's a single location. Just impossible. Of knowledge that shouldn't have. We don't. One, we don't know how it was built, thus showing advanced construction knowledge. And two, we. It the symbol. Symbology of it so advanced that we are definitely not understanding what the h*** it means, which is probably some form of communication. The ones we don't get is probably because we just haven't discovered that level.

Cristina: Because it's not for us anyway.

Jack: But we're eventually going to get there anyways. It'll make sense. Like right now we can look at the pyramids and be like, ah, Ah, look at that. We can see the pattern. We get it all. That's advanced. Yeah, but if we're just cavemen, we don't get it.

Cristina: No.

Jack: And a bunch of cavemen must have stumbled upon these things and been like, okay, whatever. But we get curious. We start excavating, like, what? Oh, there's something here. Fascinating. As we get through, we discover, oh, wow, There's a pattern. It is aligned perfectly with this constellation. Interesting. That is interesting. So as we advance, so did they as. Oh, first, we didn't even know how they built it. And I was like, how the h*** did they do this? And wow, they were way more advanced than we thought. But they were all this way, all of them.

Cristina: It was all different time periods. That's what's strange.

Jack: All different time periods.

Cristina: Different time periods, different locations.

Jack: Are they doing it? So we're just a little blip of the many times this has come and gone.

Cristina: It makes sense. We're as obsessed with science. Like eventually every civilization gets to that point where they want to know what's out there. And like, how do we say hi I guess is the next step to that?

Jack: Yeah, reaching out, using it. It's so complicated, Right, because they're also recording information. This is just imagine the complex nature of this. They are informing aliens. Because of the size and magnitude and complexity of the structure visible from space, you can see this magnificent thing.

Cristina: But what does the equator have to do with anything?

Jack: Well, this is a really weird thing, right?

Cristina: Yes. Because like, what about all the other civilizations?

Jack: Well, the same thing applies here across the board.

Cristina: Not on this line. I mean like all the other.

Jack: Well, that's what's really weird, right. The minority of them exist off of it all the ones we consider advanced civilizations in any manner, shape or form minus two or three outliers seem to primarily exist along that ancient equator line.

Cristina: Okay, but the ones that are outside of it, do they also seem to be this type of thing of like, hey, space.

Jack: Okay, one, yes, it seems consistent across the board with all the more ancient ones. There seems to be messaging through size and engraving really complex level of information. Again with the pyramids as an example. They're used to record information as much as to create a signal. So there's. They're letting whatever can see it know we have advanced construction, we know advanced science. And it records the information of that constellation as well as places them directly where something like the speed of light. So look, we have this level of information. If you've acquired this much, this is one we haven't gone beyond. Look, with this advanced. That's how they're communicating so much.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: With placement, with size. And the following argument would be that the way the stones are laid themselves, there's also conveying some next level of information that all the monuments follow this logic. As we become more advanced through civilized. Through our own courses in civilization will sort of level up and find the next understanding of what the next rock meant, what the next big stone left over there was. We're gonna be like, ah, we get it. Because we just got there ourselves. We discovered the thing.

Cristina: Yeah, but you're saying also the places outside of this line are doing the same thing.

Jack: The place is outside of this line have two interesting constants that seem to apply to all of them, including everything in Mexico and Brazil, which I say because primarily in Mexico and Brazil it seems that all of the infer it seems are highly advanced. But nothing screaming into the void, whatever was happening over there had everybody fleeing. Like we said before. There was the sudden absence of people from the Mayan temples and the entire Mayan civilization subsequently suddenly. Okay, this happens over and over through a bunch of the ancient Brazilian civilizations as well. Mass evacuations and sudden disappearances of entire civilizations that are just gone. But they were all about as developed as would have to be for the ones that land on the equator or the ancient equator.

Cristina: Is this. No, but these places are on the new equator.

Jack: These places do not land on an equator.

Cristina: Okay. Not. Oh. Not new.

Jack: These places don't land on an equator at all.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: I'm sure at some point in time they must have. Everything must land on the equator eventually. It slowly rotates along the entirety of the planet. But the fact that there was an alignment to an exact moment of one is an amazing feat done throughout time. Strange. With civilizations we did not know had the knowledge required to do so.

Cristina: We're trying to speak to aliens, maybe.

Jack: I believe the best example of that, which is why I keep coming back to it, because I find it the most fascinating and seems to show the most information is the pyramids. Pyramids. That's a lot. You're recording information. You're showing information, quite specifically, two large bits of information. Constellations, thus understanding of space and the speed of light. Explaining understanding of physics. You're showing and understanding how the world is round. You're conveying that through showing coordinates in the first place.

Cristina: What's the chance that it's coincidence that the coordinates, the coordination matches up so well with the speed of light?

Jack: That is highly exact.

Cristina: But it's not equal. It's not the same. It's just. It's the same numbers.

Jack: Yes. Okay.

Cristina: It's not, you know, so the tip.

Jack: Of the tallest pyramid lands to the millionth decimal point. That is amazing.

Cristina: That is okay.

Jack: Yep.

Cristina: So what were the other places like, though?

Jack: It was just all the monuments we are used to. Okay, is this a bunch of trivial crap that we don't understand? For the most part, a bunch of ancient advanced messaging systems, presumably based on the logic we're following, that I guess ultimately resulted. Now, the. The pattern here is that there anyone that was along this exact line was reaching outward and anybody who wasn't on this line was reaching inward. What's the disparity with what's happening here? Which is also familiar. Again, everybody discusses the Mayan evacuation and the disappearances of the people like them just kind of vanishing from either large famines or something that collapse all of society. Very quickly.

Cristina: That's possible.

Jack: Yeah. Like it's discussed very often. But the. The without a trace part is the. The complex nature there, which is people. Why people suggest there must be mass grave systems underneath, which is why there's no trace. People went. Because they would just continuously bury everybody within these structures that we're not going to destroy. Trying to get to.

Cristina: Okay. Like people were dying.

Jack: Yeah. The people disappeared.

Cristina: Plague.

Jack: They don't know people were dying. People just vanished.

Cristina: But a theory is that they just died.

Jack: Yeah. A theory is that maybe famine or some plague or something pretty dark hit them. And they probably have mass grave systems underneath it. With our advancing technologies, we'll be able to excavate without destroying anything eventually. Truly witness and see. But that's the ongoing theory that that's probably really what happened.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That they're just all down there. Catacombs that stretch on to forever.

Cristina: I just don't understand why these places. The old. The old line and.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Why the new line isn't doing the same.

Jack: Why the people on the line just continued to change and evolve and move on. I do not know. I do not know. It's very, very, very strange that that happens at all. That's. It's haunting to me that this is the case. It's. And again, it's just information that we have casually laying around. Anybody can just look this up and see. But why isn't this like more of a. Interesting pursuit? I guess. How. What?

Cristina: It's so weird because it's on the equator. Like the equator has the least time. Like, isn't their nighttime less than the other. The rest of the world?

Jack: No, the equator is. Wait, their nighttime is less. Yeah, I think the equator gets more light.

Cristina: Yeah. For them to be so obsessed with the. Or maybe that's why they're so obsessed with the night.

Jack: Or I guess it's not necessarily that. The equator. I guess the equator is hot. Right. Because the equator has the most consistent temperature. I believe is the case. Or it's the turning point.

Cristina: Yeah. But I feel like it is the hottest point for us.

Jack: But you gotta. You one. You're spinning the earth a different way.

Cristina: So you think it was different?

Jack: Yeah, it would have to be because the sun is still in the same location relative to where the Earth is. You're just changing how the earth is spinning.

Cristina: So you think they had more time in the night instead.

Jack: It depends how the earth rotates relative to the sun. I gotta see the rotation and where the sun rests relative to Earth. Answer that.

Cristina: Because that would make sense of why. Maybe they're way more into space and stuff. If they had spent way more time or way little time at night, like to become obsessed with that.

Jack: I don't know if they had longer nights.

Cristina: Yeah, if they had longer nights, could.

Jack: Definitely be the case. So first, how did we get to a point where the equator shifted so dramatically? The first theory is that there was a comet of some sort of course that at some point hit the Earth. That is the ongoing. This is how we got from here to a point A to point B. Hit it hard enough to force a little bit of quicker before the pull of the moon settled us again.

Cristina: Okay, that was just a little, you.

Jack: Know, a small enough rock with enough speed, Bloop. Tilts just a tiny little bit. But the moon is more powerful. So the moon's gonna stop it, but the wobble just kind of. You. You moved it enough that a little spin happened before it totally stopped. And now has a new rotation, whatever the case might be. So that 100% alters the rotation, changes it from one set to the other. You turn, changes the amount of degrees required.

Cristina: And there's more than one theory?

Jack: Well, this is the important theory because it lines up with everything. This specific theory falls along with the fact that we can prove there were rainforests in the Arctic and Antarctic. Okay. Because if they were getting consistent light, if the equator is the line that's getting the most heat.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: If that's the case, then that wasn't frozen. The poles would be what we look at a map and think of as left as right. And right now.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That would fall more accurately. Those would be frozen over, getting the least amount of sunlight on average. Or unless the sun was located in those positions. I guess that would be just if the sun was located towards the North Pole, but our equator was what it still is right now, the North Pole would be a hellscape. The South Pole would be a frozen shitstorm that nobody could live on. And the equator that exists now would be the most balanced temperature relative if the sun was directly on top of where we consider to be the North Pole right now.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: So we can still have an equator that doesn't fall where the sun is. The sun could just be on top of us. The equator is the turning point. So the line you would draw as to where the Earth is turning by so we can put the sun on top. And so now this s***'s still getting blasted, but it never ends.

Cristina: I really thought that both poles, though, were.

Jack: No. Well, right now, both our poles are frozen. I'm trying to visualize where the sun lands. Right. Because both our poles are frozen now, but they were both rainforests before. So however the turn is, it was still facing it's directly opposite. It shifted just enough so that the rotation was sending all of those things to face the sun consistently. Somehow we just ended up in the same situation. That's weird. It's weird that it happened that way. It almost feels designed.

Cristina: Is that a theory?

Jack: No. But like I think I just invented my own. It feels too intentional to be almost polar opposite is too exact coincidences of Earth.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So weirdly enough, the change in rotation, the beginning of rotating periods, the beginning of other rotating periods led me down the rabbit hol of looking into the shifting tides of Earth and how ice ages come and go and how information gets lost as the Earth gets shifted. So some of this knowledge gets obscured and it becomes harder to tell what the original intention for a lot of this stuff was.

Cristina: Yeah, ice ages.

Jack: The comet hits shifts from where we were over millions of years gradually being slowed down. But over. It took millions of years to slow down, but eventually it did slow down. But again over the course of millions of years. But it was tilted already. The change was there. It was already affected. 480 million years ago. It was here. And over many millions of years it slowly slowed and slowed and slowed. And it went again exactly 90 degrees before it stopped. Boom. And now the rotation is the other way. It spun and spun. It spun until 90 degrees and it just. It slowed down more and more and more. And that's where it's finally stopped and settled. And now we have a different equator, probably by comet. But in that amount of time the poles begin to shift as heat begins to shift and everything starts to change and the planet's temperatures start to move around and we get new tropical areas.

Cristina: Is exactly the opposite. Or no.

Jack: Yeah. If you were to be. Not to. Luckily no, it's not an exact difference. But close. It's pretty close. If you were to look at it at a distance and draw the two equators, you'd be like ow. And presumably it hasn't stopped shifting. Maybe it will hit the exact 90 at some point. It's just we got to look at this in a millions of years scope as opposed to our blip 5,000 years reaches it.

Cristina: I wonder if we're going to be starting. We're going to start to see people do weird things on that side or what if there are things on that side. Have we looked? I mean, yeah, I guess we Have. And that's why we see places with stuff that's not on the equator or the old equator, but it's not on the new one either. But maybe one day it will be.

Jack: Maybe. Maybe. So the argument would be, has the Earth already gone through a phase in which every point has been on the equator, or are there many points left? When we think of the 90 degree we're going to hit, was there 80 degree before that? Has it? Are we close to completing a circle? How far from a full circle are we? Yeah, you know, that's the ultimate question. We don't really know how far along that line. So it's possible that we either have more to go because it's gonna keep changing forever, as is the nature of a random spinning sphere. Yeah, like, it's eventually gonna be everywhere. But has it already? And would that explain these other locations? Because there are arguments in that favor. But also, it looks like the equator is essentially a lifeline towards the opposite of a death line. When you think about it, anything that the further away from the equator you are, the more hostile the environment is going to be. That's why right now, the north and South Pole are inhospitable. But when they were on the equator, we had two locations that were inhospitable that weren't on the equator. And that's always going to be the case. Every point on Earth as it continues to spin is eventually going to be an inhospitable shithole that's totally going to be frozen over.

Cristina: Mm. Where was the old north and South Pole?

Jack: Okay, so after looking at it, after.

Cristina: Looking at a globe.

Jack: After looking at a globe, the poles end up in such a way that the. That one of the poles is South Africa and the other one of the poles, it's somewhere in the North Pacific.

Cristina: So those would have been code.

Jack: Those would have been frozen over. In order for a line to go through India, Australia, and Europe and the Earth to be rotating in such a way that the north and South Pole become tropical rainforest areas. In order for that to be the case, it was spinning along that equator. And thus the other two locations got hot because it was spinning in such a way that that was. The equator was still facing the sun. That's the requirement for the equator to be hot. It must be facing the sun. And it looks like the spin changed in such a way that that used to be the case and now is not. So South Africa and the North Pacific are the two extreme poles of the old equator.

Cristina: There's nothing in this Pacific, is there?

Jack: Is this water inside the North Pacific? Nothing particularly astounding, just frozen back. But that does. So what have we covered so far? We know that a lot of these structures are informative. We know that the ones that don't land on the line are the least informative and tend to quickly dissolve. Like they were recording, not screaming. The ones along the line were screaming as much as they were recording, although most of it seemed like it was screaming. But also, we don't understand and we're just assuming they're trying to tell us something. Maybe they are. Maybe it's both. Maybe all of them. Both, but not along the equator disappear, usually. Famine, starvation, some theory of a total collapse on the equator. Survive, thrive, become highly advanced, and then become the people that today we know in the countries that moved on to be the places that today we know. So weird pattern that only exists for that moment's equator again. The equator has shifted and been everywhere at all times. Why are they still thriving when the equator is no longer gracing them? Those kinds of weird things are the ones we gotta consider when we're looking at this kind of stuff.

Cristina: But why is equator important?

Jack: I don't know. They just. The ones that survived, the ones that were highly advanced. And the majority of these structures, all of which are built in, complicated. The ones we could, like, tell you how it was built, not on the equator. The ones that were on there, we have no idea how the h*** they were put together. Something about that line was a line of information outward and inward collectively. Now, the changing of the tides, the changing of the currents that happened with the shift of the equator led to the possibility that the events of the Great Flood is the biblical Great Flood, are what was really happening. They're describing the true nature of what happened as the polar ice caps melted and the sea levels rose dramatically, drowning essentially everything as a redistribution of water.

Cristina: Are you even alive though, then?

Jack: Well, that's what's weird about this, right? So the change of the equator was placed somewhere where the people who built along that line, that was millions of years in the past, from their time, all thrived. There's some reason that they placed their civilization or their structures that to this day have withstood the tests of impossible amounts of time where other crap has completely disappeared. And they're all along the same line. Something about this has protected something about this. The conditions are just right, just something. Something allows this to be the case, that these are the thriving, successful things while everything else collapse and falls apart. And we have traces that are just hard to understand in bits and pieces, trying to piece a message together. While here we have entire messages that we just don't understand because they're too complicated.

Cristina: It's so weird because they place their things, or at least the Egypt one. I don't know if all of them. They place it there because of the stars. It had nothing to do with the equator. It just happens that they all line up on the equator. But if they're all looking at the stars, what. What weird connection is happening?

Jack: Interesting, no?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The Egyptians have the most complicated of all the structures. Again, we have clocks, we have astrologic alignments of the constellations. We have tracking day cycles. We have explanations of different physical, you know, problems in physics. Physics. Solutions, equations, many different things. Nobody is keeping up with the complicated nature of what was accomplished with the pyramids. And to then lay on top. That it's possible that the bricks were laid out in such a way that they themselves contain information goes back to the people of the village in. I think it was. It must have been a. Either a Mexican or a Brazilian civilization that keeps track of their information in knots and inches.

Cristina: That's very strange.

Jack: Yes. But it. It makes me think of that when somebody says the bricks are laid in such a way that they have information we're trying to decode, I'm like, well, yeah, I guess I get it because I have a reference point.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Of like these people also did like a physical weird other way that isn't writing.

Cristina: Yeah. It made something outside of what we consider normal.

Jack: Yeah. They went a whole other route with it. And that these pyramids, again, position both relative to constellations and the alignment of stars and relative to specific. Like, how do you accomplish that? That's a pretty complicated one. And then you're still at the equator at the time that you're doing it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: They were aligning. Yeah, they were aligning a couple of things.

Cristina: Did they have unicorns? I still wonder how you got to from unicorns. This I have any idea how the.

Jack: H*** I got from one point to the other.

Cristina: Did you talk about unicorns?

Jack: Maybe. But the theory and the story as pieced together would go that 150,000 years ago the normal tides were taking place.

Cristina: What does that mean?

Jack: Okay, so 480 million years ago, we were at the end of the old equator.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And that from that point forward, we were moving towards the new equator. Right towards the end of that period, about 150,000 years ago, the Earth still had its north. Because again, we're talking millions of years in scope The Earth in a million years, barely moved. Things barely changed. But still the Earth has its normal rhythms that it goes through. Tides come in and out. Seasons change, all the things that happen. So every couple of hundred thousand years, the Earth tides shift, water recede. This built into the the current ice caps. Then later they melt down, fill the oceans, and the tides come back in and like infinite cycles of crap. So as we're getting towards the end, this is a weird moment where two things are happening simultaneously. We have the normal tides coming to an end, and we're reaching the end of our new equator, getting to a point where it's stabilizing as the moon's gravity is forcing us to stop. So we get where we're going about 150,000 years ago, where we're entering the end of the receding water. I guess the beginning of the water starts receding for the new tide era, and we're reaching the point where things are about to stop. So there's less water than there has ever been to the point that land mass is about the size of Great Britain. Completely rose from the water. That's how far the water pulled back. It just released land masses that size. But 150,000 years is a long freaking time. People spread like roaches on these lands.

Cristina: There aren't lands anymore.

Jack: Well, they're not lands anymore. They got swallowed back about 12,000 years ago.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But in that time, people spread out and went all over the place.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Right. This. This began. This process began 150,000 years ago. That's where the water begins to recede. People start to notice. They start to come into these lands and settle as the water starts to go away. We're talking thousands of years pass as the water keeps going back and, oh, yeah, water keeps going, you know, build our houses and whatever the narrative, how I think the events went by.

Cristina: And is this gonna be explanation of Atlantis or something?

Jack: Literally, yes.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. Okay.

Jack: Literally, yes. Because apparently there was enough information to corroborate the existence of Atlantis for quite a while. It's just we don't have the actual proof of the place. But everything tells us there must be, in fact, an Atlantis factually, without a question. It must. Outside of fiction. It must. Outside of fiction, it's probably there, and they were probably advanced. That's probably a real place. Why everything lines up. They seem to have been the most advanced out of all these civilizations. And it landed precisely in the Persian Gulf that happens to be on the line. And all the underwater monuments we have found for the oversized civilization that we don't really have any are all in the Persian Gulf. All of that was in there. So they had the clocks, they had the. They had space mapped out in the constellations. They had designs for batteries on the pyramids that they had and inscribed on. There's some stone walkways that go in their direction that they had pillars of. I'm sure you've seen the photos of them. It's like they just go into the water. Yeah, it's like pillars that just walk into the water.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And they have. That wasn't water before.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Dry land.

Cristina: There's nothing there now.

Jack: There's nothing there now because as the. What you got to understand, the Persian Gulf is also in the cross section of four rivers.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The water didn't rise around you. Rivers race towards you.

Cristina: Okay. But there's no nothing in there now. There's not people.

Jack: The amount of pressure that the water slammed into that place with, why did.

Cristina: You slam into it?

Jack: Because it was rivers.

Cristina: Yeah. But this slowly happened. If it slowly became land, it slowly became water.

Jack: Well, the problem is that we're. You're just thinking of the equator. We're also counting the fact that the waters are receding and that we're entering a period of. So 150,000 years ago. The water pulled back, the people settled. These events that are then going to collapse the society happen about 70,000 years ago when we're still reaching the very end. But now we've totally swapped poles. Things in the previous poles are so hot that they're just falling into the water in giant chunks. There's that hot. At the same time. The water is at halfway now it's coming back anyways. So the water starts to come back in as it naturally leaves and then comes back in at the. So usually they go and become the polar ice caps. The polar ice caps collapse over time, fall back into the water. This is how it naturally happens over millions of thousands of years. But the course of the equator changing happened over millions of years and was resulting in the same thing the previous. But it's collapsing the previous polar caps completely in order to make new ones at the same moment that those were already gonna break down a little to follow its normal. So you got twice the force of these polar ice caps completely collapsing, falling apart and melting into nothingness. Hitting the water all in one shot. This then leads to the biblical flood that we find out about when that happens. About 12,000 years ago now, again, the waves start coming back. The pressure, the current, the tide returns about 70,000 years ago. But it starts slowly and these things start to line up. And the thousands of years start to line up with the millions of years where they hit the one moment where on both South Africa and the North Pacific, these previously frozen points are so gone. And they're just collapsing and falling in huge chunks into the water Back to back to back to back to back. There's just pure sunlight hitting them all the time now. That's just falling apart, hitting the water. Water levels rising like crazy. But anything not touching any of the coasts is safe to some degree because water will rise slowly around you. You can run away from that if you are along the old equator. So you're alive, you're safe. You're dodging all of the giant waves from all the colossal ice that's falling, except the people in the Gulf. Now, everybody who is not in Anybody who is in the old equator survived because there's nothing but land stopping them. There's land and stop and land and stop and land. So the water hits and falls and hits and falls. Okay, it's collapsing around them. They're safe. It becomes problematic specifically for the Persian Gulf, where you are connected to the oceans, Even if you yourself are very, very, very far from them. And as the water over there in west h*** starts rushing down that river from one side, and over here, north h*** starts rushing down your way, and one from the south and the one from the east are all rushing. Everybody around you is fine. But you're where there wasn't even water. There's just crevices from the previous time that there was nothing but water there. And you set your home there, you set your civilization there. You developed into the most advanced civilization of that time. And you were the closest to the very center of that equator. What a weird coincidence. The closer you were, the more advanced you were and also the safer you were. Except you the closest to touch it.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: Except you the closest to touch that line. Everybody else stationed themselves around it. You who falls on the line, gone. You're in a place where all of the worst is gonna hit you. No trace of your existence. Rivers with the pressure of the oceans raced at you and then gone. And there's nothing left. And you are just a story. But yeah, there was probably, definitely something there. And it was probably really advanced and probably more advanced than the most advanced that we're looking at, which seems to be bare minimum about as Vance as we are. And we still wouldn't be able to do what they accomplished. So they were probably more Advanced that we are, which are the Egyptians.

Cristina: But there's no proof.

Jack: Nope. Yet there's a bunch of just.

Cristina: I mean there's proof that there was civilization.

Jack: Civilization. We can't prove how advanced they were.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Based on all the other things, how it lines up, you would suggest that. Yeah, I guess in theory. Then it's the only ones who didn't make it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The ones who touch the line don't make it. The ones surrounding the line do really phenomenally well. And the ones furthest from the line go away with a whimper. What does that mean relative to that line? What's happening with that old equator? Why were.

Cristina: Why does being there it seems really random?

Jack: The problem is if it's really random, then the entire assortment of civilizations that built everything along that line at totally random moments all just happen to do the most complex known to man thing at the same spot.

Cristina: Yes. I don't know. It doesn't make sense.

Jack: It breaks logic to some degree because we're not sure what it is we're even discussing at this point. How, why. What's the ultimate goal? What information are you trying to convey? What information are you trying to record?

Cristina: Where did they get that information?

Jack: Where they get the information? Yeah. So as the water comes up, people flee, people spread out. The idea is that the civilizations that settled along the line, the old equator, Mm. If it was by total random chance, did so because it was also simultaneously the safest place. And they were. Who would survive the great flood that overtook the earth. And by being on that old equator, it's not that the earth was spinning in that axis, but rather that that old equator just happens to be along a line that's.

Cristina: Were they around the time the flooding was even happening?

Jack: Yes, they are. The civilizations that immediately follow the flood, Ancient Egypt, Jerusalem, all the Bible people, all of that follows the great flood. Which kind of falls perfectly with where history tells us it would be that we got flooded. That, that does line up clean. The fact that there was an actual flood, we can calculate. And that happened roughly around the time that it happened biblically. And then we have these advanced civilizations station themselves. Then something within that thousand year period happens where these people get. Or I guess the problem is they had the knowledge, but they lost all the everything else. So they had to recreate along where they are. We're gonna. We're gonna fall apart at some point because we've lost what we were because of this crazy flood that hit us. So they made settlements that then evolved into Egypt. Settlements that then evolved into Whatever the h*** made the Machu Picchu thing, You know, all these things along the equator, they made the settlements that happened and became advanced with what they had from the previous people that they were. And they left the signals or messages or whatever. Probably not even reaching out to space, but more just like this is what we were capable of before. Before the flood. This is a. This is a capacity of our people. These monuments are how great we really are capable of being.

Cristina: But they did that after the flood.

Jack: After the. Well, all of these civilizations come after the flood.

Cristina: Okay. Well, does that one place that is. Might have been flooded have to do with anything?

Jack: What place that might have been flooded?

Cristina: The one in the middle of the line.

Jack: That would have been Atlantis. That would have been the most advanced of them all. But something about it being dead on the line prevented it from being safe like all the others. As opposed to all the things that are surrounding that line. As opposed to all the things that are surrounding. Anyways, I thought that that was kind of crazy that we have this old equator that has a bunch of monuments and old ancient sculptures and fascinating things that we can't unravel or understand by any means.

Cristina: Very interesting.

Jack: And they all land on the line that they could not have had information for unless they were significantly more advanced than we thought. Probably as advanced as we are now.

Cristina: It's a crazy thought to you, but it could be.

Jack: It's probably. It's. It has to be for them to have that knowledge. We just have to stop being egotistical and assume that they were at least. At least as good as we are.

Cristina: Whoa. Yeah.

Jack: Because have we done that? We have not aligned.

Cristina: We threw stuff at space.

Jack: Yeah, I'm sure they did that too. But what's interesting enough is that we haven't done that, but I'm sure we could. It's probably really easy for us to build three buildings following Orion or something like that, you know, like, it's probably really, really ridiculously easy.

Cristina: Who says we haven't?

Jack: There are clever things. I love some of the buildings in New York that are angled in such ways so they look like different structures. That's cool.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I guess if an alien were to like, travel and they'd be like, wow, these people are serious, they'd see that and still be pretty impressed. I guess art does that in general, right?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Science and art. That's it. The conveyance of intellect, anyways. Yes. I thought that was interesting. There was way more, but it's.

Cristina: It's too much.

Jack: It's just too it's too much to be coincidence. An excessive amount. A ridiculously excessive amount to be coincidence.

Cristina: But there's no proof of anything.

Jack: There's no proof of any. I mean they all do fall on that line. And that line is the problem is it's all provable. What does it mean really? That's. That's.

Cristina: Yes. What does it mean?

Jack: A bunch of coincidences. But okay. So they were probably really advanced. Okay.

Cristina: And what? Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: Okay. This is fascinating. But okay.

Cristina: Great one. They will find their rocket.

Jack: Yeah. I just love that it does reframe how we think of them though. To have proof that they were at least as developed as we are. It's like. Oh, I pictured what they pretend when they show us in movies. I guess.

Cristina: Definitely wrong.

Jack: Definitely wrong. You know they were all doing the. The. The Egyptian dance when they walked and they only drew on walls because they didn writing yet or something. And it's like nah bro, they know the speed of light. Do you?

Cristina: No.

Jack: Like what?

Cristina: That's so crazy. Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. But it is what it is. Anyways. Anyways. Just thought that was interesting and very weird. So I hope you enjoyed that information that I stumbled upon.

Cristina: Maybe the audience. I did.

Jack: But yeah, maybe I'll do the rest of it eventually. It's just so much. I just can't. Kept falling down this rabbit hole. I don't know how I landed there. But it was fascinating. And I don't know what the point of it is. There's probably a point to it. It just kept going. So there's way more to look into do it. But it literal just portals into websites of documents completely just documenting anything and everything surrounding all of the details surrounding all of the civilizations and all of the monuments and all the stuff. It's like real complicated. Deep dive.

Cristina: That's interesting.

Jack: It is. It looks like thousands of pages worth of work though. Pretty cool. But yeah. So I hope you enjoyed that. I hope everybody, the audience, you and you guys should look into it. Really weird.

Cristina: Really weird. And we have other weird episodes. There are many space related.

Jack: Probably space. There's also ancient civilizations. Many ancient civilization episodes.

Cristina: Space episodes.

Jack: Many space episodes.

Cristina: Aliens.

Jack: That was actually one of the theories for the pyramids I really got. I really fell into those pyramids. I was so obsessed with the pyramids. It's so complicated. The suggestions would be they either possessed knowledge themselves that was beyond our current understanding of who they were or they saw something that was beyond us both fear and our understanding of what was possible. And they recorded that without knowing what it meant. Maybe they saw the equations and were sophisticated enough to break it apart and put it down in something like the pyramids without knowing what they were doing. Maybe that was their attempt at figuring it out. Make it bigger so I can read. Oh, not big enough. Make it bigger and see what we get. Just people trying to figure things out.

Cristina: Yeah, that could be it.

Jack: Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed that. Let me know. Go to the socials, inform us. Go to Twitter, Instagram, tick tock, just convopod.

Cristina: Remember to subscribe, rate and review the show.

Jack: Yes. And tell us about. Not tell us about. I guess tell your homies about the show. We're of mouth is overpowered. Talk to them, inform them. Be like, bro, you like weird things. Here, check this out.

Cristina: If they're not weird, you can still check us out.

Jack: Check us out.

Cristina: Anyway, this has been the Rambling podcast. Take nothing personal and thanks for listening by. I don't know what else shows everyone loves. We. What was that movie that everyone was crazy about too, because of the memes? The bird box.

Jack: The bird box. Yeah, we. We got to that after the memes.

Cristina: Oh, we did. Oh, crap. We're never.

Jack: Did we watch it before the memes?

Cristina: I think at the same time, I. I'm not sure though. We might have been late too.

Jack: No, I think actually I saw the trailers to it and then you're like.

Cristina: We'Re gonna watch this. We watched it. But there's not many times we watch things when everyone else is watching it.

Jack: Well, actually I think we watched that the day it came out. So we were like, there's no hype around it.

Cristina: It had to be like the day after because I remember, like everyone posting something about it. Oh, but it could have been after, like right after.

Jack: So either that or people were talking about it. And like, I didn't. Like, maybe they were talking a lot about the movie, but they. They weren't discussing any part of it.

Cristina: No.

Jack: And they were. And I was like, f***, everybody's talking about this. We gotta watch. We gotta go in blind. Did I say that about that movie?

Cristina: I think so.

Jack: You gotta go in blind and find out what the big deal is about. No judgment. This turned out to be great.

Cristina: It did. I know people that didn't like that movie. Ah, but I liked it. It was good.

Jack: It was pretty good. Pretty good movie.

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and Published by Great Thoughts.in Fox, art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth McAllister with social media managed by Amber Black.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Cristina: I'm. I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas, which we Every week.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And last week we were talking about giving ideas power. When we give ideas too much power and when we extract. Extract power from ideas as well. Collapsing entire things. Religions and governments and currencies. All things that are powered on sort of the energy, the power, the true magic of imagination. Imagination.

Cristina: Imagination.

Jack: A little rainbow. SpongeBob. Who does that? Right? Imagination. And so a little rainbow shows over my head. I'm gonna put the effects. Nobody can see it but you. But it's gonna be great. I'm gonna do it in post. There's not even video. You're the only one who's gonna see it.

Cristina: Me?

Jack: Yeah, you're gonna see. I don't even know where you're gonna see it because it would require some sort of playback of the. I'll get an artist to draw this moment with the rainbow so everyone can see it. So everyone can see it. Yeah, now everybody could see it. The medium that is accessible to the public.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Anyways, I would. What the h*** was I even saying?

Cristina: That we use too much power to monopoly money.

Jack: Yeah, we do give power to monopoly money. It's crazy, because the power of imagination, man. It's crazy. We do. We. We give these ideas power, and it is absurd that we do that, but sometimes we think that things don't have power and that they are ideas and they are the other way around.

Cristina: What do you mean?

Jack: So in opposite of giving ideas power, sometimes there are things that we just think aren't even things. They're just ideas. We're like, no, that's. That's just imaginary. And this happens pretty often. A real common occurrence in which this happens is aliens. A lot of people just think aliens don't exist.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They just objectively are like, no, that can't happen. Especially like most people who believe in religions.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like the universe was made for us.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And so a lot of people do believe that there is no such thing as aliens. That's an imaginary idea to them. And that's. That's great. Whatever. But there's aliens.

Cristina: But there's aliens.

Jack: But there's aliens. We have many of them. So it's not that it's an imaginary idea, but this happens a lot, including things that we ourselves haven't really considered now, we've briefly glossed over, but we've never really deep doven into the mechanics of a unicorn.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah, because there's a couple of ideas here, and I'm gonna show you where I began and where I ended with this thought. And it got really confusing and a bit scary at times.

Cristina: Because of the unicorn.

Jack: Because of the unicorn. And I became fascinated by the unicorn because. I don't know, it's an interesting, majestic creature that poses as something simple, is elusive the way like Bigfoot is.

Cristina: Yes. And are you saying people don't.

Jack: But people don't believe in the unicorn.

Cristina: But you're saying it's a thing?

Jack: Unicorn might be a thing.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Well, the unicorn is. Well, before I even get to why it might be a thing, the idea behind this is that the unicorn itself possesses a certain kind of power and ability that it's. You know, it's like Bigfoot. It does disappear. It vanishes. It's elusive. We can't find it. People think that that's just a part of imagination. Because of that, there's no proof. The proof is gone. It ceases to exist. And I found that interesting that we do have this thing like Bigfoot that is there.

Cristina: Like, that's not a thing like Bigfoot, is it? I mean, maybe once upon a time. I don't even know.

Jack: I'm saying that it's elusive the way Bigfoot is.

Cristina: Like. Have there been stories of people seeing unicorns, though? Yes, but not recently.

Jack: Neither have there been stories of Bigfoot recently or aliens recently.

Cristina: I feel like more recent than unicorns, though.

Jack: I think unicorns right before Bigfoot.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yes, I think unicorn. I think bigfoot dominated the 20th century, like 1900s to the 2000s, but the unicorns was, like the 1800s. Maybe. Maybe a little earlier. Yeah, I don't think it was, like, way back. It was back there, but it lasted big, big, big. Still around this time, like, it ended towards the 18, you know, where they were seeing unicorns. I'm not sure where they were seeing unicorns per se, but I can give you some generalizations of to where unicorns were seen. But my interest in the unicorn came in that we've glossed over the unicorn before and haven't really been able to establish what it was. We. We joked about it being perhaps a horse.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: On adrenochrome. Because everything is on adrenochrome, and that just seems pretty obvious. Sometimes it's a small change, sometimes it's a big change.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like, Steve still looks like a plain groundhog. Like, sometimes he's just got powers. Or sometimes you go from being a wolf and become some crazy Wetchards looking thing, you know, Werewolf.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like drastically different things. So, yeah, it ranges. So I'm thinking it's that.

Cristina: That's what you think a unicorn is.

Jack: Yeah, I'm thinking the unicorn is that to begin with. Right.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's where my thought begins. I'm like, yeah. But then. Then I go through some stories which I'll tell you all about.

Cristina: How many involve blood?

Jack: Potentially one, but that's the one that matters.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And I don't actually, the potential is the best part here, because I don't think it is blood. And I think this is why we need to catch a unicorn.

Cristina: Of course. Okay.

Jack: Because I pose forward that the unicorn is using fear the way that Santa Claus is, but on an individual scale.

Cristina: What do you mean?

Jack: I am confident of it, but let's go down the rabbit hole.

Cristina: Okay. Honestly, I thought you were gonna say that it's. You think it's an alien?

Jack: I think it's an alien.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I think it's some sort of Something figured it out. Something figured it out. I don't know what exactly it is. I just know it has powers. I guess the next step would be to find out if it is what we think. If it's doing what we think it's doing, then what is it?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That would be the next step.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because it hasn't figured out how to do this on a scale like Santa Claus. But I'll show you as we move forward. So let's break apart the basic things we know about a unicorn. Right. A unicorn is usually thought of with a single long horn.

Cristina: Horn. Yeah. And it looks like a horse. And. Looks like a horse, I guess, too.

Jack: It's usually white.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And it's very, very absorbently white.

Cristina: Is that important?

Jack: Well, no, that's how we picture it.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And it's also, again, like I said before, highly elusive, really difficult to see, and they say it's magical.

Cristina: I don't understand. Are there stories that prove that it's magical besides, like, it's elusive? Because that's the same thing with Bigfoot. Like, it's magical because I don't. I don't get it. Like, the whole. It's hard to find proof of equals. It's got to be magical. Like, I don't. I don't see the connection there, but yeah.

Jack: Because what has the unicorn done? Right.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: What has the unicorn done? That's magical.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: For anybody to say it's magical.

Cristina: Exactly like the Bigfoot. What has it done?

Jack: Exactly. What has. It's just elusive.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: They're saying. Well, they're chalking that off. The magic immediately.

Cristina: Yes, that's what it feels like. But is there anything else to it?

Jack: It's like disappearing, right? Oh, it disappeared. It must be magic.

Cristina: Yes. Not that it knows everything around itself and is familiar and where's the best hiding spots and whatever, but. Okay.

Jack: Is there any other detail we know about a unicorn? Is that all of it?

Cristina: That's all I know. That's all I know. I don't think there's anything strange about it.

Jack: Nothing strange.

Cristina: I don't think it's bigger than any horse or smaller than any horse or like, there's nothing special. If you think of Harry Potter, it has silvery blood, but I think that's just a Harry Potter thing.

Jack: Interesting. I like that. That's cool.

Cristina: But that's not real. Is there any stories like that that would be interesting if there are stories like that and Harry Potter was just basing it off of.

Jack: You think Harry Potter would have the intelligence to go do some research on some crap? Well, I think the wonder there was that it was generated from somebody's mind as opposed to like. A lot of that was original. I'm sure it took inspiration from research that was done, but a lot of that was just in, like, original stuff. Although I am not the biggest fan of the entire. Of the Harry Potter world, I do value the level, the quality at which it was crafted. It is impressive. Yes. It's incredibly deep. Harry Potter is its work of genius. I'm just. It's not my thing. I don't like fantasy.

Cristina: You're a hater.

Jack: Yeah, I'm essentially a hater because I don't like fantasy, but I understand the value of it. You go through it. It is some. It is complicated and deep. But as for the unicorn, which Harry Potter has probably one of my favorite iterations of the unicorn. It was like a goth unicorn. The weird dark situation it was involved in because it was still mystical and, like, hidden. Right. It was just Voldemort hunted one down and just drank its blood.

Cristina: We had to keep doing. He has to keep doing that.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: He survives off of the unicorn blood.

Jack: That's crazy, right? The edge of life.

Cristina: Well, very adrenochromey type.

Jack: It is, right? It totally is, bro. He was on adrenochrome. Get the h*** out of here. It was Adrenochrome 100. You can't tell me anything else. He was a wizard on adrenochrome.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's how he became that freaking nature.

Cristina: He changed and everything. Exactly.

Jack: He changed his nose and everything. His face altered. He warped. The way something on adrenochrome would.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: So early mentions of the unicorn because, you know, we gotta follow its trail, see where we could find one if it's so elusive. And boy, is it elusive. Aliens, way less elusive. Almost every civilization has some mention of aliens. Usually in the same manner. Saucers and like flying things and things coming from the sky. The same crap over and over and over.

Cristina: It's all UFOs. Yeah, that's the most common.

Jack: Always a hundred percent of it. But not in this case.

Cristina: What do you mean?

Jack: There are so few mentions of the unicorn it is absurd.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: Like Jesus, kind of. It's like you got the Bible and then that's it.

Cristina: Yeah. So.

Jack: Well, and see, he's mentioned in the Quran. That's a lie. So he's mentioned the Bible in the Quran. It's like, okay, this is like, way less probable. There's nothing proving this thing is out.

Cristina: Here, the unicorn or Jesus either.

Jack: But there is the. In this valley civilization. Right. This is about 3,000 years before Christ. And they had mentioned in their scripture and in their writing a unicorn. And they mentioned it as a single centered curved horn that went forward and then up at the end. So it wiggled its way, which I've seen iterations of, and I didn't know where that came from. I've seen three different ones. It's the pointy spike, the spirally one, then the wiggly one. Seen all three. And I never really realized I was seeing all three until somebody made a distinction.

Cristina: Were you seeing them on different animals or you were seeing them?

Jack: No, all of them on unicorns, but different iterations of unicorns.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And so I thought that was interesting that that distinction was made. And then I remembered, yes, I've seen spiral horns and whatever in different, like, pictures and, you know, shows or movies or paintings or whatever. Except their description of this creature was that it was cow shaped.

Cristina: Cow shaped?

Jack: It was cow shaped.

Cristina: So it was a big boy.

Jack: And it was thought of as a symbol of power. They thought it was a powerful thing because of its size.

Cristina: I guess it's still a unicorn.

Jack: Nah, still a unicorn.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: What's interesting about this is they. Although not many places mentioned that they mentioned it often.

Cristina: They mentioned it, mentioned it often to.

Jack: The point that they would put this creature like it was part of their Normal ecosystem. They would place it on their crests, they would put it on there. It was like their, you know, their national creature, the unicorn.

Cristina: It could be just a mascot, have to be real things.

Jack: Yeah, but it was like the people's mascot essentially.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And they, they, you know, they wrote about it all the time, but could be, you know, like that episode of Star Trek. Their entire world revolved around the idea of a dragon. And they just talked about the dragon consistently like, okay, yeah, it makes sense.

Cristina: But there's no dragon.

Jack: Well, there's no dragon. Yeah, it doesn't need to be a dragon. This is a story. But they based off on story. So I'm thinking the unicorn could be that case in this situation that they kind of based so much of their society on the unicorn.

Cristina: Did they have cows though? Like. Yeah, it's described as a cow, but.

Jack: No, they didn't describe it as a cow. They said it was shaped like a cow. But they were fully aware of what a cow was.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And they were fully aware of what a horse was.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: This is like a cow shaped cow shaped thing with one single horn. Now what's interesting here is in trying to debunk this, my assumption would be the only cow shaped horned creature would be a rhinoceros. Seems powerful. It's bulky, it's a big boy and it's muscular. It looks like a tank and it's thick skinned. So if they're talking about something that's a symbol for power, I couldn't think of something that I think of more powerful.

Cristina: Where was this place at? Do you know?

Jack: I have no idea where this location.

Cristina: Is because yeah, rhino makes sense.

Jack: Rhinoceros does make sense.

Cristina: All right. I just looked it up. It says that it's in the northwestern regions of South Asia, which is Pakistan and northwest India and eastern Pakistan. I don't know if that's helpful. Here's a picture of a map of it.

Jack: But none of that's the Middle East.

Cristina: Yeah, none of it looks familiar. Yeah, I guess that's Asia. That's the Middle East. Right. Does that make sense?

Jack: No, the Middle east is in Asia. So that's just a corner of is there further away map, a further way map?

Cristina: This is like the only map I find and then it just shows.

Jack: Okay, so then, yeah, it's basically in the Middle East. If it's around Pakistan and India and that kind of region. So that's where the Indus Valley civilization was. And they, they thought of it as.

Cristina: A cow with a horn, there's gotta be rhinos there? No, I don't know.

Jack: There aren't any rhinos there. That's what's weird.

Cristina: If we look at where rhinos are.

Jack: Found, I'm sure it's gonna tell us. Africa.

Cristina: You think that's the only place in the world that has rhinos?

Jack: I. Yes, is my bet. I'm like, 95% positive.

Cristina: Okay. Like, two of them, the species are in Africa, and three are in south and Southeast Asia.

Jack: Holy crap.

Jack: So there are rhinos over there?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So at least close to there. Close enough because that's the Middle East. It's not the Southeast. Yeah, but it's close.

Cristina: So, yeah. It would have been probably rarely seen, but that's why it was so popular, because they never see it.

Jack: Door somewhere that they've never been to had a creature that had a horn and was big and bulky and elusive because they never seen it.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And the civilization was perhaps, probably based on the stories of one group who thought that it was common just over the hill. And they were like, what interesting creature? This? That's just over our hill. He's our creature too. We're all the same people. And he's just over the hill, and we've never seen him. He's that elusive.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Hangs out with only the people that are elusive like him over there now.

Cristina: So maybe nothing magical about that.

Jack: Maybe nothing magical about that. And that. That might hold some water to some degree. Except when you consider some of the greatest record keepers of the world, which are two. The Jews are amazing record keepers. They are some of the originators of record keepers. And the Greeks are the other really good record keepers. After they finally began record keeping, obviously, because a lot of the crap that they had was just hearsay. You know, I got a story. I told you the story. You told him the story. They told them the story. And it's like we got a million versions of the same story. Which version do we write down?

Cristina: And are these about unicorns, though?

Jack: Well, they don't actually have. This is what's interesting about the Greeks particularly. They don't have a single mention of a unicorn in their mythology, what I would expect.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: This is where it gets really incredibly weird. The only place that they have unicorns mentioned are in their natural history books. And in their history books. So the natural history books, historians record them, and in just, like, biographies and stuff, people reporting to have seen unicorns.

Cristina: So there are mentions of it.

Jack: There are mentions only of unicorns in real world instances. There are no mythological unicorns in Weird.

Cristina: Yes, weird. They thought of unicorns as actual creatures, not magical creatures.

Jack: Yes, but this. It's not even the magical creatures. They thought of it as a real creature that existed somewhere. Yeah, with them.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Screw the magic. They. They just casually thought this was an everyday thing. Yes, but this is the second civilization that we've come across now. The only people who mention them. Mention them as what? As always present.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Second time. These people straight up just had them in history books.

Cristina: But they look like horses, though.

Jack: Well, they believed that they were about that. Like the first. The horn in the middle, it was freaking huge. It was 28 inches.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: How is it holding that? It's not heavy.

Jack: It could be like bird. Bird bone type. Now known as very jumpy and skittish. That's also why it's elusive, because the moment it sees you, it disappears somewhere. Just runs or magically vanishes or whatever people want to say happened as a result. It's also very agile.

Cristina: This creature sounds cool, but.

Jack: Okay, well, here's the coolest part. Usually it's described as white, but there are also mentions of it being red and black.

Cristina: That does look awesome. Oh, my gosh. I want a red speeding, thin horn creature.

Jack: But it is a horse.

Cristina: It is a horse for sure.

Jack: Yes. It's a magical.

Cristina: For some reason, I was hoping they were foxes, I guess.

Jack: Not magical. They thought of it as a variant of a horse.

Cristina: Of a horse.

Jack: Now here's where it gets tricky. They thought that these things existed in India, and only the historians, good record keepers that went to India, came back saying that these were there, that these were there. Now they know what horses are, and they said it's a horse. But there are rhinoceroses in India, apparently.

Cristina: But that doesn't describe the creatures they described.

Jack: They think it's an. It's a horse. Yeah, the Greeks.

Cristina: But they didn't describe it as a bulky horse, did they?

Jack: No, they did not. It was just. It was definitely just an elegant horse with a horn.

Cristina: That's weird.

Jack: Yes. And they. They knew what a horse was.

Cristina: Was it a camel?

Jack: A camel. Interesting. That's some middle ground.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Between a horse and a cow, if you want, like a bulkier horse.

Cristina: Skittish, you said?

Jack: No, skittish. Gnome. Camels are like paste.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: The opposite of skittish.

Cristina: Okay, describe this creature again.

Jack: Okay. A single 28 inch horn in the center. Jumpy and skittish. Yeah, that's why it's also very elusive. It's agile for the same reason. And it has red, black or white fur. And it is a horse.

Cristina: It's gotta be some type of deer. Were they familiar with deers, though? Okay, if we thought of it, not like a deer from here, but like those other creatures that look very similar.

Jack: To deer or something like that.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Oh. I mean, a gazelle has two horns, but I know what you're thinking about those other ones.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That one of them, I think, does in fact have a single horn. The problem is they're talking horse. The creature that I think you're picturing is significantly smaller, like tiny. It's like baby deer size.

Cristina: Then maybe they were decorating their horses.

Jack: Okay, interesting. Different angle. We know that. Even in which is. No, it couldn't be, because they would know, because Greek themselves used to strap things to their horses.

Cristina: That's true.

Jack: So they would know. They would know if it's. They know what a horse looks like.

Cristina: I don't understand. Because, like, if we look at the history, though, of the record of the actual place that they were visiting, what was it? India.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Do they have any unicorn stories?

Jack: The Indians?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Well, no, that. Not that. Well, we do know that dimensions from the Indus Valley civilization is in the Middle east and India's in the Middle East.

Cristina: But does India itself has any stories?

Jack: I don't.

Cristina: This is so natural. Why wouldn't they have the most stories if everyone's pointing there and saying they have unicorns? Wouldn't they have unicorn stories?

Jack: Well, okay, yes. This is what's weird about that. Right. Because of all the locations that do mention unicorns and everybody seems to see it around India, but no, India doesn't have any sort of consistent anything with unicorns. No mention of the unicorn everybody else is seeing there.

Cristina: So they have to have something there that people aren't familiar with. I feel like that's gotta be the solution. Like they've got animals that people just aren't familiar with and they're describing in very strange ways the unicorn.

Jack: They're describing it as a unicorn over. Yeah, it's always the same. Or maybe they're not using the word unicorn, but the description is what we all call the unicorn. Yeah, but that's the thing. We're. Now we're talking that these people are all speaking different languages.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We're using the word unicorn. We're saying this very same description is what they're all saying they're seeing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And if it fits, you know, more than half of it, let's say. Okay, we're. They're talking about what we would call a unicorn.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And that's how we're defining this ultimately.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Because they're all coming back and saying, there's a one horned white thing over there that's just there and it's weird and impossible to catch and see. It's just there and then it's not there.

Cristina: Then it's not.

Jack: They're all mentioning the same thing.

Cristina: Interesting.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Now it has to be a real thing, not a real thing, but it's not. It's not a unicorn.

Jack: Well, for a brief period in the Middle Ages in Europe, popping up here and there, you know, sometimes in Spain, sometimes in England, sometimes in France, sometimes in Germany. Germany, you know, it would pop up everywhere. There would be depictions in bestiaries where they show animals of different sorts from regions, you know, real and mythological, sometimes mixed together. And they would show the unicorn. Many of them.

Cristina: Were they all visiting India?

Jack: Well, I'm not entirely sure, but I think they were used actually. I have no idea where. I just know they were showing animals that they have seen or recorded or heard of. Just beast series to gather information. And they were depicted in many beast series throughout all of Europe. Consistently. It wasn't one guy's thing. It was like all over the place. Anybody who had one, for whatever reason, seemed to have a unicorn in there.

Cristina: Weird.

Jack: Weird.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And here, though, split down the middle, it was thought of about as much of a goat as it was a horse.

Cristina: I don't understand. So sometimes it was depicted as a goat with a horn and sometimes it.

Jack: Was a horse with a horn. But sometimes it was the middle ground of whatever that would look like with a horn.

Cristina: Middle of a goat and a horse.

Jack: What?

Cristina: What does that mean? What?

Jack: But we start to get into where I immediately went. Huh? I tried to confirm this and you can find a crap ton of these online, really old ones. And you can see the pages and their descriptions and translations to English from what's being said. And without fail, 100% of the time from completely different books from across all of Europe, mentioned in different contexts, but landing at the same idea. Virgins can easily tame the unicorn. Now, I understand fully somebody heard about it, told somebody. But for the first couple of books that seem to have all been begun around the same period of time, there was no way that they simultaneously thought of the same thing at the same time, because it must have been like a five year gap and we're talking the Middle Ages. So it's like, whoa, dude. How?

Cristina: What? That they're all saying virgins contain.

Jack: Yes, they're all talking about unicorns and they're all saying. So they all talked to somebody who mentioned the unicorn in the same exact description and managed to publish a book that also had the same information about a virgin. They all spoke to the same guy.

Cristina: That happened to be a version. I don't know.

Jack: Unless there's a school for people who make bestiaries, and then they get taught the basics. And unicorn happens to be one of the basics.

Cristina: Yeah. He's like. Then that means, like, they all were experimenting, and we're like, okay, let's bring it. Like, how do they end up with the version? How many people did they test out? Like, okay, let's try to get that person to train the unicorn. What is it? Not train it, to tame it. Tame it. Yeah. And no one could do it except for this virgin horse trainer.

Jack: Weird, right? And no, it's not even a tamer. It's just because they're a virgin for whatever reason. Specifically female. A female version, for whatever reason. The unicorn is just submissive.

Cristina: It makes no sense, though.

Jack: Makes no sense. The other mention that I found that fits this same exact description is actually for dragons from the same Europeans in the Middle Ages, mainly from England, which mentioned virgins. Virgins can steal the treasure that a dragon is guarding because the dragon will. I guess it's not stealing. The dragon will just move out of its way. It's. It's collected for the virgin who will one day come and take it.

Cristina: Okay, are these people just fantasizing about versions and how amazing version being a version is?

Jack: I don't know. Because where I went. Again, is that although versions conceal the gold, they always just remained with the dragon.

Cristina: What? That's how those stories end.

Jack: Well, taming the unicorn means what, now? You're always with the unicorn? That's your ride or something? So now they've got proximity to a virgin in both instances. And in both instances, hard to reach and quite majestic. Overpowered. Some things.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That are keeping a virgin nearby.

Cristina: For what?

Jack: Okay, now, if we look at how gods use virgins, right? Sacrifice for blood. Pure blood. The most fear, the most innocent.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Oh, yes. All the blood and fear I need in one strong dose.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Jehovah's old solution to the problem, as you know.

Cristina: Yes, yes. But why do they. These creatures need it?

Jack: They're not eating these versions, doing anything to these versions. Is this an emergency in case some s*** goes down? They would then, you know, keep the battery around in case I'm running out of electricity, and then, you know, take the battery when I need it. Is that the case is it a. As long as they're around me and they think I'm protecting them, they're gonna fear for themselves, but they're gonna fear for me. And they'll always be to the edge. I always make sure they get to the edge of fear. So I keep the battery close and keep her scared. So somebody's going to hurt her. Yeah, or I'm going to hurt her or something. With the unicorn, you're always in danger, but if you trust me, you'll always be safe. But you're always going to be that close to danger, but you're never going to be hurt, so you're always going to be scared. That adrenaline rush, the good fear.

Cristina: So makes no sense how the version is the key. Is it a woman version for the dragons as well?

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is. And also, here's what's weird about this. In both instances, if you're. If you adjust to anything, you're no longer gonna be scared of it because it's your normal. Once something's your norm, it's not. That's the juggle that gods are making with fear. You have to keep it fresh. If it's not fresh, it's not entertaining. We get bored easy. You can't scare us with the same s***. You have to crash the towers, but you also have to threaten us with the bombs. You can't. Not just. You can't just keep hitting towers. We'll be like, it's normal for towers to get hit.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You know, like, you can't do the same trick over and over and over and over. We'll get bored. Right now, people in Ukraine are like, whatever, dude. They're now beating Russia because they got over the fact that Russians had more power. Now they got so bored, they just walked into the streets and started disarming people. And they're winning. Like, just got bored and stopped being scared. Now. Now what are you going to do? You. You killed the fear in them. Now you're screwed. You can't win. They're not scared anymore.

Cristina: So what do these guys do with these versions?

Jack: I mean, what are they doing? I have no idea. I never found the solution for that. Why are. Well, at least in these stories, I didn't find a solution. I don't know why. I don't know what the point is. It didn't. There wasn't any further explanation. And I tried to find it. It was nothing. It's like you guys just all talked about the same crap in the same way, and it didn't make like you didn't link back to anything. Was this an idea you all had? There's a fascination with virgins.

Cristina: Yeah, for sure.

Jack: I guess always.

Cristina: Always.

Jack: I guess always.

Cristina: Always.

Jack: D***. That's what pedophilia is, isn't it? D***. Is that. I mean when you think about whatever they were throwing like a 10 year old at those things and it was like the grown men, don't get me wrong, the grown men were like 15 year olds who were gonna die like the next week of old age or some s***, you know. But they were still like significantly older than the like 10 year old.

Cristina: Yes. During the 10 year old. And a dragon or the unicorn and who knows how many other mythical creatures that they were like okay, there's a zombie. Let's throw the version and see what happens.

Jack: This is crazy, bro. Basically 1800s, follow me on the street. 1800s. God is angry at us. We're in a drought. Go to the elder, he's been around the longest. He's like 35 years old. Like 40. We're going to be generous and say he's 45 years old. The elder is like 45 years old. They die pretty young. There's nothing, there's no medicine. You just drop. And anytime you catch anything, you're dead.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Anybody who made it any age. Amazing.

Cristina: Got the code. You're dead.

Jack: Yes. You're screwed. So go to the elder. He's like 45 years old. The longest living person there is. Always the elder. He knows the most. Hey elder, we need to solve the rain problem. There's a drought and elder's like this 45 year old. Throw a virgin in the volcano. Now in his eyes, a virgin. The establishment of what a woman is. Hasn't happened yet, right? What year is it? Like 11. 1100s.

Cristina: You said 1800s.

Jack: No, that was exactly. Okay, that was exaggerated. Like the 1800, like the 1100s.

Cristina: Right way back there.

Jack: So we can throw her into the volcano.

Cristina: This 10 year old girl.

Jack: 10 year old girl. Some 45 year old guy is like let's throw her in the volcano because d***, this is the 1800s. This is hard. This is harsh. Can you imagine how savage these 1800s are? This is. This is like a week ago. This is scary, bro. This is too short ago.

Cristina: No, they would just set her on fire, dude.

Jack: Yeah. Oh, fair enough. It was still the 1700s, wasn't it?

Cristina: 17.

Jack: 1700S, yeah. Okay, that was a little further. It's man, it was still too close.

Cristina: Are sure the Salem witch trial things, that was 1700s. 1700s, I'm pretty sure. Late 17.

Jack: I mean, let's check that. Let's confirm.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because late 1700s, I mean, I'm thinking like 1777, 1692-3. Yeah, that checks out. I feel like late 17 might have been too. Too soon still. Yeah. 16. Latest 1600s. Yeah, that checks out. That makes sense. Early 17.

Cristina: There's another one though, in the 1878. Does that count?

Jack: Witch trials.

Cristina: A witch trial.

Jack: Oh, a witch trial. I mean, yeah, as laws say, like way ancient in certain places and they take a while to catch up.

Cristina: Burning people.

Jack: Well now that is incredibly weird that they can only be tamed by a virgin. But what's even stranger is that throughout all of. I guess, I guess it's not as weird, but that it's a symbol for Christ. But it kind of makes sense considering that like Old Testament, God was totally into sacrifices.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: He loved virgins and children.

Cristina: Jesus was a virgin. Is he a virgin? I don't know.

Jack: Jesus wasn't a virgin.

Cristina: He wasn't?

Jack: No. But no, he was a symbol for Christ. And the unicorn doesn't have to be a virgin. What do you mean? If the unicorn is a symbol for the unicorn, isn't the virgin here?

Cristina: No, I'm saying is the Christ the virgin?

Jack: No, the unicorn symbolizes Christ. Christ must like virgins.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Which is weird because I'm sure he was banging Magdalene. Like she was far from like. Like, let's be real. Jesus had no game because the one chick he was down with or he was very sexually open minded because the one chick he was down with was known as like the. The block w****. Which is also a lie. Anyway, so whatever. That totally wasn't even mentioned in the Bible like that. That's an exaggeration from people.

Cristina: Mm. He was hanging out with dudes all day. What are you talking about?

Jack: Wear that packages for days. Sausage fests every day, all day, nothing more.

Cristina: He loved that braid.

Jack: Sus mega sus. Mega sus mega sus. Now this Christ unicorn. Nah, not Christ unicorn, but. So the unicorns horn is talked about in these mentions. These three big mentions. Talk about a couple of things that kind of pop up here and there in similar ways. So the unicorn is the source of the magic? The unicorn horn. The horn.

Cristina: They mention magic though.

Jack: Yes. They literally, in some manner, shape or form, mention that whatever makes them unique exists within. In their horn.

Cristina: Right.

Jack: Now I'm using the term magic, but that was only mentioned specifically for the people in the middle. The Middle ages that they mentioned that it was in Fact, a magical creature.

Cristina: Why did they give examples? Besides attracting virgins or whatever. Okay.

Jack: But the magic existed in its. In its horn. And it was also made of a material that they called alicorn.

Cristina: So out of something that it's rare.

Jack: It's like a. An elephant's tusk.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And if extracted, a magical tool could be crafted from it. Maybe a wand didn't describe this tool, anything. It's up to your imagination because it's magical. It's only an example of like a wand.

Cristina: But that's your example or their example.

Jack: That's they know anything you can think of. They mention things like wands, but it's like anything you can think of. And any purpose tool. Now you have a magic version of it.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It could also be used for medicine, said to be able to heal anything. And it could be used to create potions.

Cristina: So much of witchy stuff.

Jack: Yes. And when. Now, interesting, interesting point here. With these potions, specifically an alicorn potion, the drinker of the potion would themselves get powers or abilities.

Cristina: What are these? Do they have examples of these powers or abilities? I have to know. What is this magic? They're just saying magic here and there. What?

Jack: Enter the merchant.

Jack: There was a merchant claiming he had obtained some unicorn powder. That is ground alicorn.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And he was reported seeing between the years of 1739 and 1741.

Cristina: Throughout those years, yes. Okay.

Jack: And in the countries of Albania, Bulgaria and Greece.

Cristina: Are those close to each other? Okay.

Jack: Yes, they are.

Cristina: Now what makes this strange?

Jack: Gonna get there.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Shop owner Atlas Demos in Greece noted that this nameless merchant with a hood and a glass bottle offered unicorn powder, bought a bowl shortly after offering the powder and left. Interesting guy, pops up, just offers powder, offers unicorn powder. Hooded dude shows up, offers thing, dips. Second guy, Toshkos Toyanova of Bulgaria, he took note of a hooded merchant with a Greek accent. Now it got weird.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Because it's a Greek guy with a Greek accent. Was a very specific node the Bulgarian mentioned. He said that a hooded merchant with a Greek accent. And the Greeks already believe that the unicorn is real.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And this guy shows up with a Greek accent and claims to have unicorn. Unicorn powder.

Jack: Weird. But. And he offered him unicorn powder at the town square. He did not buy. It was just offered to him. Finally, Noel Thanasi, the Albanian ship captain.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Who kept extensive notes of what happened on the ship was one of his ways to entertain himself. So he had many, many, many, many records. And because he was a ship captain, he Was usually on a ship with people for hours, a long time. So he got time to see things.

Cristina: So he saw this merchant.

Jack: The Albanian ship captain wrote in his log about a hooded merchant on board.

Cristina: Also with a Greek accent.

Jack: Actually, that's the first thing. Yeah. Who also has a Greek accent. So the merchant, Greek accent. Hood offers unicorn powder.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: On the cruise, on the ship on the right.

Cristina: Wherever they're going, how many people buy it?

Jack: Claims an ill woman on board. This is him on his notes.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He claims an ill woman on board the ship drank tea with a bit of the powder sprinkled. Within moments, the woman was, well, okay. This is a captain who sees. He's an experienced guy. He's kept notes. He has many notes. He's been at this for a while. This guy must be old and he's seen all kinds of manners. This is the first time that he's like, what the h***? On his own boat, this guy shows up.

Cristina: The only thing that happens on the.

Jack: Boat, this guy shows up. And out of nowhere he gives this woman a thing. And for the first time in his life, he sees something. He's seen so many strangers come through. It's a shame ship. He's moving people back and forth. All kinds of weird wanderers come through. This is the first time he's like, holy crap, what the h*** am I looking at? The woman gets a tea doom and instantaneously gets better. This guy's like, what? It's like, are you serious? And so he makes a note of this guy. What's up with the Greek merchant? What? What's this? Can't be real, right? He's kidding me. Other ship passengers, shortly after buy and consume the powder a series of different ways. They throw it in their drinks, they throw it in their meals, and they sort of just take part thanking the guy and for several days, just kind of hanging out with the merchant or whatever. The merchant seems real cryptic, real like he's detached according to this guy's. Because he's writing paragraphs and s***, sometimes knowing to go through it. But he's just. He's also rambling a lot of crap that's like unrelated. But he always circles back to how interesting this merchant was. Okay, now, other than the lady for a while, it all seems pretty normal. And he's like, okay, there must have.

Cristina: Been a trick he did there until something.

Jack: With exception for a man. Now, this man claims to had a walking stick his entire life, and he drank the powder and finished the rest of the trip without the walking stick. The man it's important to say that the man only said he showed up with a walking stick. He didn't say he drank the powder. Very important. This is where these notes fall apart. He took note of the man with the walking stick. Yes, that's the right way this goes. He took note of the man with the walking stick. He thinks the man drank the powder because the man finished without the walking stick. But that's the only person he doesn't know whether or not he drank the powder.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now, all the people he knows for a fact drank the powder, had no reaction. But the man with the walking stick, who he doesn't know drank the powder, he's assuming drank the powder only because.

Cristina: Of the first lady that got better.

Jack: Because the first lady that got better. His assumption is it's only working on people with severe problems and that maybe this does in fact work.

Cristina: But there's no proof of that.

Jack: But there's no proof of that.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It's just mentioned in his notes. Now, it's the same guy. We know the guy is real. The guy popped up in different places. It's the same Greek merchant.

Cristina: But also, how's he getting around? Did he do anything weird like he sold the guy the thing, but that was the end of that story.

Jack: Doesn't even say he bought it.

Cristina: Oh, I thought he bought it. No, it was just the second one didn't buy it. But the first one bought it.

Jack: No, he offered the powder and left.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Okay. That's weird.

Jack: I mean, notes weren't great back then. We're talking, like, shredded mentions of something that's like a tiny blurb. Essential. Just somebody was scribbling on a thing.

Cristina: Okay, so he's a traveling salesman.

Jack: What's weird about this is how close together these years are and how far he got as well.

Cristina: How close are those years?

Jack: We're talking 1739 to 1741. That's three years apart. And he traveled three countries quite extensively, quite far apart.

Cristina: You don't think it takes three years? Maybe on a horse or something? Like, he's not walking. I mean, he's on a boat in one of the stories.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Both are pretty fans. Guessing.

Jack: It depends, right? How long could he be? He is on the move. One of those is literally on the move.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Man, I wonder where the ship was headed. Those. I didn't. I did not even bother looking at that. It might have been from one place to the other. These might be way closer connected than we thought. It might have been like he left one of these places. Went to the other.

Cristina: Yeah. Went to the boat and then went to wherever. Well, we don't know if his thing was doing anything.

Jack: We don't know if his thing was doing anything. There's just circumstantial evidence.

Cristina: Yeah. Interesting. This is the only guy recorded selling this powder.

Jack: The only incredibly existing individual. I thought it was very strange that there was a real person who potentially healed people with something he was claiming was unicorn powder and came from a country where they thought unicorns were real to begin with. That they saw in a country that themselves didn't know about unicorns or care about unicorns, but had a rhinoceros that could be described as unicorn. And there's a close enough description.

Cristina: And people do use rhino's horn, right? Like, they do use that like medicine. So, like. Yeah, so it could be the same thing.

Jack: Except the people who think unicorns are real also know what a horse is and think a unicorn is a variant of a horse.

Cristina: But do they know what rhinos are?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Positive.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: The Greeks.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because some of the bestiaries are Greek and they have.

Cristina: They have rhinos.

Jack: They have rhinos and they have unicorns.

Cristina: Okay. I don't know. Because it doesn't make sense. Doesn't make sense. Because their solution was versions contain them. Like, that makes me feel like, well.

Jack: This is where I think the unicorn is doing something similar to what Santa is doing. They're keeping fear as the fuel and they're keeping the battery nearby. So they only need one. They're not trying to be super mega God powered. Usually it's just to be elusive and it could be used for other things when they're not being elusive. But it seems like they're sort of managing what they apply it to. They're not crazy over. Probably they could do all the things at the same time. They still be caught, they can still be killed. So they're doing a small version of it, but somehow they're not. They're not killing, they're not drinking the blood or something.

Cristina: There's no stories of dangerous unicorns doing crazy things.

Jack: Not that I'm aware of, but wow. Definitely something to look into. Ultimately, I think they are somehow tapping into the same power that Santa Claus has figured out. That's my theory. Because they're not, as far as we know, drinking the blood of these virgins, but they're being consistently reported as being tamed by a virgin or keeping a virgin nearby or something related to not being dangerous and being easily seen by and being ridden by virgin.

Cristina: Very strange.

Jack: Now I'm thinking virgin, because innocence. Innocence leads to more fear because lack of experience is usually where the innocence lies.

Cristina: But I still want to know where the magic is, because I still haven't heard anything magical.

Jack: Magical examples of a unicorn. The only. The closest thing to an example of unicorn magic is the potentiality of unicorn flying. But any description of a unicorn flying felt more like they were describing a unicorn that was hopping and sustaining a hop for a long time. So a hovering unicorn at most.

Cristina: That's very strange. Okay.

Jack: Like, it's not going upwards. It's like hopping off a cliff, then making it to the other side.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: Now, the size of the cliff could be questionable. Is he's like, oh, I couldn't jump that as a person, but I've seen other horses do it. Or is this horse just so scared it's willing to take the shot?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And, like, makes it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So it doesn't seem like there's no credibility there. Like, if he. If they'd mentioned the distance from one cliff to the other, then we.

Cristina: Maybe you can see some magic.

Jack: Exactly. Like, is there a river in between both of them? And this horse hopped off one side and just glides to the other. Clean.

Cristina: Horse goat thing.

Jack: Yeah, horse goat thing. Okay. There is an interesting detail here that does come through the goat side of things.

Cristina: What's that?

Jack: And hold on. This was a long, long time ago. There was an Indian guy who did talk about a magical creek goat.

Cristina: No, he didn't.

Jack: But he talked about it in knowledge of the constellations. So it's a person who was studying the constellations and was talking about a Greek goat. So, like, those lines cross really hard. And that also felt like useless information because he made no mention of a horse or a unicorn. But it is just a goat.

Cristina: It's just a goat.

Jack: It's just a goat. It seems. It doesn't even seem like just a goat. It's a magical goat. And he was a person who was learning the constellations, learning astrology, particularly. He was learning astrology, and he mentions a goat in his writing. He mentions the magical Greek goat, but one. It's not the Indian unicorn goat. It's just the Greek magical magic goat. And he's a person who studies astrology. I'm sure that's a mention of his studies.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Being written back in the 1700s.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So that didn't feel relevant. But if you wanted something about a magical goat. There you go.

Cristina: That doesn't help.

Jack: The only note there that makes sense is that the Greeks see the Unicorn as a horse down there. And then some Indians said there was a magic goat in Greece. That's the only like the two dots that I was like, oh, interesting. But then I was like, this is useless.

Cristina: This is.

Jack: This is a coincidence more than anything.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah. I see nothing magical unless attracting versions.

Jack: Is magical, which sounds just like a dude fantasy.

Cristina: Exactly. Yeah. I guess it's magical to men.

Jack: It's magical to men.

Cristina: Yeah. All right. I guess. I guess that's it.

Jack: Yeah, that's. That's what we got on unicorn and I. It's kind of useful to some degree because that means there's a potentiality. There are unicorns. And unicorn doesn't seem particularly magic magical, which tells me that it's a really grounded kind of thing. It's probably really using very little amounts of magic to either sustain its life for really long or maybe do this dumb hover thing.

Cristina: So you think it is an actual creature though, and not just a real animal being confused or something else?

Jack: Well, the possibility is that it's a creature that is on adrenochrome, but it's not doing anything. So that's what you can. We can investigate that and write that off at some point. There's just a creature that isn't on adrenochrome and is also not magic. It's just an elusive normal horse type thing or a rhino type thing or a goat type thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And we can write that off if we find out which one it kind of really is, which seems to lean towards horse. Some weird kind of deformed horse or a species of horse that lives in mountains or somewhere that probably has a mist everywhere and looks majestic and people are like, wow, magic. Fun fact. Not here in the notes, but it is a detail that did pop up. You're usually seeing a unicorn standing, looking north when they're motionless. This is the opposite of a dog who poops south. So I guess the dog is also looking north technically.

Cristina: Okay, wait, say that again about the unicorn.

Jack: A unicorn is usually when they're stationary, they're usually aiming north. You can reliably see a unicorn aiming north. So wherever the unicorns is pointing when they stopped is usually north. Which means. That doesn't make any sense. That's one of those things that people just say because like the unicorn has to stop looking somewhere else at some point. It can't always. Like, it's always has to be.

Cristina: It's 100% looking north.

Jack: And yeah, like it has to always be in motion to look anywhere else. What if it's something. What if there's a wall behind it and whatever it needs to eat is against the wall? It can't, because it could only look away from the wall when it's there.

Cristina: That makes it sound sort of magical.

Jack: That makes it look like it lives h***.

Cristina: It lives h***. Yeah. It's in a magical magnet. Yeah.

Jack: That's crazy. So that sounds like bull crap to me.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But anyways, I think we got some information to look into, and we have some details about the unicorn that I think are fascinating.

Cristina: It's potentially that we might have to.

Jack: Research more on, and we might have to tackle this creature. We might have to catch it, because if we could figure out what they're doing, then we can figure out enough power. Then go get Santa. First, we need a version to attract the unicorn.

Cristina: Yes. I get. Wait, are we versions because we're clones? I'm not really sure. But you have a wife, so I'm assuming. Wait, is this version of you married? I don't know.

Jack: This version of me has a.

Cristina: A.

Jack: What was it? A baby with a Bigfoot.

Cristina: Oh, my. Wait.

Jack: Yeah. I got raped by Bigfoot and we had a baby.

Cristina: Oh, yes. That happened.

Jack: That happened. I have a son.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: And the other version of me was married to the cockroach, which also had a child. So there's a. It's the same DNA. So in theory, my DNA. Although I didn't make that baby with that disgusting roach.

Cristina: Are you raising that baby?

Jack: I'm not raising that baby.

Cristina: Are you raising this baby? No.

Jack: No, I'm not raising either.

Cristina: Okay. Okay. So you're definitely not a virgin?

Jack: I'm definitely not a virgin. I can't be the honey.

Cristina: Oh, man.

Jack: Can you be the honey?

Cristina: I guess I could be.

Jack: Yeah. We gotta throw you at the. In the volcano, I guess, to attract the unicorn. I don't know how to attract. We'll figure out how to attract the unicorn.

Cristina: I think we should throw me in.

Jack: A volcano just in case. Maybe it's a. Hey, we could write that one off, you know?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I mean, we can make more of us.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: It is what it is.

Cristina: We'll do different things.

Jack: That's fair. Like where you're going with this.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Anyways, so if you guys want to find out more where this goes, I suppose, and about other creatures of which we have extensively gone through, you can find. You can contact us, you can message us on our socials, at Twitter, on Instagram, on TikTok, usconvopod.

Cristina: Remember to subscribe, rate, and review the show.

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

Cristina: This has been the Rambling podcast. Take nothing personal and thanks for listening. Bye. And then they're like.

Jack: It would be crazy. I don't know. YouTube's full of. I don't believe it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Memers. You know memers be doing memeing.

Cristina: Yes. But it'd be so awesome if that was true. It's hilarious. I don't think I'd rewatch the whole show like that, but, yeah, I would. Just, like, Just curiosity.

Jack: Like old Resident Evil dubs.

Cristina: Yeah. But there's no way, because people love the show, so I can't imagine that they were watching it like that.

Jack: The content is probably better than the conversation and dialogue.

Cristina: Yeah. Actually, what's happening is really interesting. Just the first episode is packed with everything.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. It's f****** awesome.

Cristina: Yep. Everybody watching that so late. The next thing we need to watch that we are so late to is the Tiger King.

Jack: Yeah. Holy s***. I haven't seen that yet. You're right.

Cristina: Yeah. So, yeah, we're behind. Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by greatthoughts.in fox art by 0lupo and logo by Seth McAllister with social media managed by Amber Black.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is a show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas in amazingly awesome ways.

Cristina: The best ways.

Jack: In the best of ways.

Cristina: No one does it better.

Jack: Who can?

Cristina: I don't know. Trump can.

Jack: Trump can do it better.

Cristina: Imagine if he had a podcast.

Jack: If Trump had a podcast.

Cristina: Yeah. I would love to hear about his conspiracies. That's all he'll talk about.

Jack: How are you sure that that's all he'll talk about?

Cristina: Well, that's all I want to hear.

Jack: Okay, see, that's very different than that's all him he talks about, because I doubt that's all he talks about. It's not just an infinite number of conspiracies, so. Yeah, but there's also, like, an infinite amount of boasting that has to happen. He just has to talk about how great he is at things and how awesome he is at things and stuff.

Cristina: Mm. But then there's also his weird conspiracies, so.

Jack: Okay, you think he could do an entire show on, like, three conspiracy? He holds.

Cristina: Maybe.

Jack: Okay, list all his conspiracies. If it's more than three, I'll be blown away. Because the thing is, people make more of an exaggeration about the fact that the president has conspiracies, and they make it seem like he's drowning in them. But, no, he just has conspiracies. He believes it's, like, three. It's not like he's over here tin hat ing the s*** out of it just like this. That, and that.

Cristina: I don't trust any UFOs was one of them, which I guess is a real thing, so it doesn't even matter. But, like, he knows about the aliens.

Jack: But it's not a conspiracy. He gets told crap as the president.

Cristina: You think he knows about aliens?

Jack: No. He would have told everybody.

Cristina: Okay, well, I'm pretty sure.

Jack: No, no, no. The problem is he knows that they're secrets. That part he knows. That's not a conspiracy. He knows their secrets. That's why he wants to know. He wants to know. It's not.

Cristina: He knows that the left is into our pedophiles. Just the left. Just the left are pedophiles.

Jack: Just the left. I don't think he's ever said just the left.

Cristina: He just wants to clean up. What was that whole Cleaning out the swamp. No, the corrupt. Whatever. He isn't that.

Jack: That's not about pedophilia.

Cristina: Whatever, I guess now. But it's a conspiracy to one side. Not like the whole thing is corrupt. It's just that one side is doing suspicious things.

Jack: But no, that's actually completely wrong. It's like you forgot who you're talking about.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Talking about Donald J. Trump. The guy who aimed so many fingers at his own team and was like, that guy's a problem too.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like, what do you mean? Just the left. He thinks everybody except him.

Cristina: Okay, so there you go. That's many conspiracy.

Jack: It's not a conspiracy. These are literally people who are against him. A conspiracy means you believe.

Cristina: Was he actually against him?

Jack: Yes. That is called being your rival.

Cristina: The vice president.

Jack: The vice. Oh, I thought you meant the opposing president. Well, no, the vice president turned on him by saying, this is wrong, like you're doing something wrong. He just wanted to not be told. He's a big child. He just wants to told he wanted to be told. He did nothing wrong.

Cristina: Oh, okay, so he's just a big baby.

Jack: Yeah. That's not a conspiracy theory. If the suspicion is they're after me and they're after you, that's not a conspiracy theory. No, that's just a thing that's happening.

Cristina: In your life or a fraud or whatever.

Jack: Well, here's the crazy part about that. What election hasn't been rigged? Well, regardless of what side wins, as long as there is an electoral college, do people have a vote? Dude, literally, Hillary won the first one and then Trump still got it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Doesn't matter.

Jack: This time Trump won the popular vote, but still the electoral college was like, f*** yo. S***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So it doesn't really matter what the people say if the electoral college can do whatever the h*** it wants.

Cristina: Okay, so, okay, the windmills.

Jack: See, that's a conspiracy. I'm telling you. People like to exaggerate the fact that he says a bunch of off the wall s***, but it's not really off the wall half the time. It's just he. He's disrespectful and people take that as a giant fact of the matter that, oh, no, he's definitely not informed on any of these things and he's totally believes in all these conspiracy. But no, they're not conspiracies and a bunch of the crap is true.

Cristina: Would you listen to that podcast?

Jack: No, it wouldn't. It wouldn't be entertaining. It would be too much of the same thing over and Over.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I don't think I could get behind a.

Cristina: Just one episode and that's. You're good. Yeah.

Jack: It'll be like listening to the Ron Burgundy podcast. Like, it's a lot. It's like, this character is great, but also he's a lot.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like, he's just. He's always a douche. This sucks.

Cristina: Yeah, that's true. I don't get it. I mean, I get why people love it, but I don't like. Yeah.

Jack: Like, it ain't for me.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jack: And it's like, I don't think it's something that people can listen to all day. Then again, people listen to Alex Jones all day. I mean, everything's for somebody. There are people who love to listen to Trump all day. There'll be a big a** crowd for that.

Cristina: Forget about Alex Jones. There's a lot of guys like that, though.

Jack: Yeah, but they're not harmful the way that a dude. The problem is the power of presidency is exaggerated. Like, yes, you're powerless around those around you, but you're overpowered against just normal commoners.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And like, yeah. Telling a bunch of people to go attack. And like, he didn't literally what to his. From his. No, it's the truth. He didn't straight out tell them to go attack anything. He did say peacefully approach. He did say, you know, he used the words he needed to use to keep his a** covered, but the subtext was, it was rigged. They're stealing it from us. It's tyrannical. Go solve the problem.

Cristina: Go solve the problem.

Jack: He didn't say go solve it with violence or murder or murder, any of that. But he did say, march over there. Let them know what's on your mind. And they went over there and he's like, it's tyrannical. Everything's falling apart. They're trying to steal what you have fought so hard for. Go and let them know it's wrong. And then they went over there and just pillaged a bunch.

Cristina: That's pretty cool. Pillaging. That's still a thing. Who knew?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: I mean, here.

Jack: Literal raiders.

Cristina: Yeah. What?

Jack: Just a thing that happened once. A bunch of raiders.

Cristina: You think there will ever be a part two to that?

Jack: I mean, not to that, but there'll definitely be other things. It's not the first. This government is gonna topple eventually. There's no way it won't. Alternatively, it's a bunch of governments stacked on top of each other. Maybe that's why it's worked. Like, it seems like it's always gonna fall apart, but somehow we're outlasting everything around us.

Cristina: Okay. So we sort of figured it out.

Jack: Well, no, we're also the earliest, newest thing.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You know, like, we're pretty. There's a couple of countries that have come to be ever since. You know, there's one here, one there. There's one country that came to be in like 2014 or whatever. There's a bunch of countries that come into existence. So we're not the youngest country, but we're like the youngest super overdeveloped. Mega power.

Cristina: Yes. Okay.

Jack: And for such an overpowered group of people, it always does feel really fragile.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But it never falls apart. And we are again, we are really young. The Roman Empire was huge. And that was around a long time, then eventually fell. We don't know how quickly they came, swooped in, took everything. They're like, wow. The Roman Empire came out of nowhere. It's only been around 200, 300 years. Wow. Strong EMP. A couple hundred years down the line, garbage gone.

Cristina: Because something bigger came along.

Jack: Something bigger came along and stupid decisions ruined their too. Okay, interesting. Yeah, interesting. So, like, this experiment we're running could. It could outlive everything that's here right now, but it's also not gonna like, stay forever. Everything has an expiration date unless we're the. And again, that. I guess that is ultimately what the United States is. The. The uniter of things.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And there's many countries within our country, but there's also many countries that aren't in our country from other countries that come to our country. So it's all our countries, plus all the other countries put together in one place in this country, in this multitude of countries that allows multitudes of other countries in. Now that means that the United States is the closest thing we have to Starfleet and that chances are, out of all the countries, United States or Canada, one of those two is going to become the sort of building blocks for Starfleet.

Cristina: Has to be United states. Come on.

Jack: NASA. NASA will be Starfleet because NASA's already all inclusive.

Cristina: Okay, we got it then. Yes. Wait, is NASA based here? Yes.

Jack: Yeah, NASA's in the United States.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Okay, we got what?

Cristina: NASA. That's an American thing.

Jack: Oh, yeah.

Cristina: So, yes. And we got the Space Force. I don't know how that's gonna help, but like, if we combine the two somehow, I mean.

Jack: Yeah, I don't even understand because it's. We got three things going on. Right. And the. No, then the people who are making The Boeing. They're also jumping into space flight. Boeing people. People who blow up planes with others in them or crash them or something.

Cristina: That's fun. So these three somehow combined will make Star Trek? No, no.

Jack: Just be. No, none of them make Star Trek. They're all American or all in the US at least. Star Trek is just one thing.

Cristina: Oh, one thing. Oh, we'll never get there.

Jack: Well, why? Everything is more united than it was always 100% of the time. What do you mean?

Cristina: It was just gonna take long to get even more united. Until we reach that point where.

Jack: Oh, yeah, but you said we're never gonna get there. We're definitely gonna get there.

Cristina: This isn't gonna take a very long time. Oh, yeah.

Jack: But of course we're gonna get there regardless of how long it takes.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Given in. And it won't even like, what's a long time? A couple hundred years. It won't even be that long. It won't be in our lifetime. But it will happen like kind of relatively soon.

Cristina: It's hard to imagine though, because there's so many people against it because somehow the devil is involved with us being united.

Jack: The problem with the logic is that that itself is a conspiracy theory. And that's a conspiracy theory held by like the minority. By crazy large minority, by crazy small minority. I'm sorry, Very, very, very small group of people believe that that's truly the case. And they're non influential. That's why that hasn't actually affected any part of society.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You know, it's just a bunch of idiots who overtly symbolize everything in the Bible. Yeah, people. I don't know. There's a lot of people with weird beliefs. Ultimately.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And there are a lot of people who would definitely. I don't know. Trump is not, is not that overpowered, man. Like, look, he'll build an army and he'll have people listening to him. But it's not like, I don't know.

Cristina: People as big as everyone makes vast minority.

Jack: Think about how easy, how easily it would be to over. The problem is the cops are on their side.

Jack: But that's about it. Yeah, it's. It's not really like other than the cops being on their side, it's just a bunch of crazy people. And not even like a bunch. It's two or three lunatics who believe crazy things and think that, you know.

Cristina: Okay, so it's just a bunch of different ideas and they all sound the same. So I think they're all the same people or I guess Part of the same group, but it's just a bunch of different people with a bunch of crazy similar ideas.

Jack: Yeah, it's not even a punch. It's just a few.

Cristina: Okay. A few people.

Jack: Definitely not a lot. It's not a lot. It's a bunch of ignorant individuals with a bunch of crazy ideas. And sometimes they pan out. Most of the times they don't. Okay, simple. There's nothing but a bunch of people who believe in crazy things all the time. The world is filled with people who have crazy ideas.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Conspiracy theories to just any. Anything, anything. And Trump is like the. The one. One of the many ringleaders to one of these. I mean, they really attacked the Capitol, dude. It's absurd.

Cristina: Yeah, it's pretty crazy.

Jack: Yeah, but what the h*** can we do, right?

Cristina: Show them the way. With Jesus.

Jack: With Jesus? Isn't the Jesus people the ones who did the thing?

Cristina: I feel like he would tell them how they're wrong.

Jack: He did. And then he said he was proud of them.

Cristina: What are you talking about, Trump?

Jack: Oh, Jesus would tell them they're wrong because Trump told them they did wrong. But then he said, very good. They're good people.

Cristina: Yeah, but our friend will help them or will tell them that they're going to h***, which I don't know how freaked out they would be. Like, if you really believed. And then he. That guy that you're worshiping, tells you that. What do you do with yourself if.

Jack: You believe it's him.

Cristina: Yeah. If you believe him that he's who he's saying he is, like the Messiah.

Jack: Well, then you just change immediately. You change your behavior instantly.

Cristina: How? If you thought you were doing the.

Jack: Right things, well, now you know you're not.

Cristina: Ah.

Jack: Thinking and knowing are two different things. It's not even worth the thought. It's not a thought experiment whatsoever. If you know the guy who made the rules, it says this is bad and that's good. Is factually real. He made everything. You just change because it's easy. Now there's proof. It's not faith. Nothing to think about. Heaven is assured. If I followed the rules.

Cristina: What if he says there's no way?

Jack: Then you also have nothing to worry about. You just keep doing what you're doing because you're going to h*** no matter what. Now you could. Any confirmation sends you in one of two directions.

Cristina: Either do what you're doing or change. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah, 100%.

Cristina: Wow. That's kind of useless. I don't know.

Jack: Yeah, it's why it's faith. If it was proven. There would be no argument if it was proven in either direction. One of two sides would be completely gone. Either everybody believes in God because God is a fact, or nobody believes in God because he's factually not real. Okay, but no, we have this sort of inconclusive middle ground of somewhere between real and not real. A bunch of people swear. A bunch of people are like, nah, science is. No, but science is. Yes. And it's like all simultaneously. And it's like, what the h***?

Cristina: Mm. It's complicated.

Jack: Yes, it's very complicated. But that's basically how the human mind works. Right. There's a plethora of people with a million different beliefs and views on exactly the same things. And so if there are a billion of us, there's a billion different perspectives on the same thing. If we all manage to even have the thought about the one thing, because we're all thinking about different things. But, like, I mean, sticking to the insurrection that the world hear about the insurrection, or is that just big for us?

Cristina: They probably heard it, but it was probably not big.

Jack: Yeah, it was probably not a big deal. It's like, oh, you know, some people argued at the White House.

Cristina: Yeah. Like the queen dying. Was that the world?

Jack: The world was informed. Yes.

Cristina: There's a lot of people talking crap, but.

Jack: Yeah, because it's an old format.

Jack: It's a queen. It's. Don't get me wrong, it's the queen, but it's a queen.

Cristina: It's not like that's over with.

Jack: No, but it's also the last one we gave a crap about is gone now it's gonna be over with. Who's gonna successfully sustain a crown now? Who's. Who's gonna listen to whoever sustains the crown? You don't got the stain of a lady who was there 70 years.

Cristina: They're gonna start voting for kings and queens.

Jack: No, that's not how it works. That would just be politics. Yeah, it would be president.

Cristina: You think they'd ever change that, though?

Jack: It wouldn't change. It would dissolve. It would dissolve the crown. It would cease existing. It wouldn't be a thing anymore. It wouldn't evolve into anything else. There's nothing it could evolve to all the parts already there. There's already presidents and senators and congressmen and this and that. There's nothing the crown could evolve to. They're just celebrities at this point.

Cristina: Okay. Because I was going to ask, like, what would happen to everything they own? Like, do they still. They still own it?

Jack: No, no. They still Own it. And my question is, how do they cut off taxing the people?

Cristina: We cut off taxing. The piece of money would be going to whoever's really ruling, not the.

Jack: Well, it wouldn't go. If you dissolve the crown. It wouldn't go to anybody.

Cristina: It wouldn't go to whoever. Like, if they decide we're gonna have a president instead.

Jack: They do. They will have a prime minister.

Cristina: Oh, wouldn't go to them.

Jack: No. It would go to the government and still. No. It wouldn't go to the. Still. No. It would just be returned to the people because all the government money is already being taken too. People get tax for the crown and the government.

Cristina: Oh, so then they would be getting less tax.

Jack: Yeah. They would just be returned.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That would be. Not removed anymore.

Cristina: Yes. How will the family survive without that money? That's.

Jack: Without infinite money they have.

Cristina: Yes. Like, that's just. That's it.

Jack: I don't know. It's weird, man. As soon as people stop believing in the thing that ceases existing. It's like money. If you don't believe in money, like, the dollar almost collapsed a long time ago. Reading an article about how the dollar, sometime in the. It was like the 1800s or the early 1900s, something like that. Late 1800s, early 1900s, actually might have been the 1950s, something like that. And the dollar was losing faith because people were like, it's not working. We. We can't buy things with it. Where. You know, the. Before it came back up and it was booming. And the golden era of the 1950s, 1960s, everybody can buy a house with whatever job they have. Era came through. Before that, it collapsed. It broke. The recession hit. People couldn't afford s***. The faith in the dollar was gone. That's what led to that recession. It was. It was. The money was useless.

Cristina: Money was useless.

Jack: It was becoming useless. And so people lost faith in the dollar. People stopped believing in its function. And dollar is an idea.

Cristina: But what were they doing?

Jack: They still needed figuring it out. Point is, the dollar was disappearing. I don't know. Humans adapt. That's what we do.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So it doesn't matter how we survived. We just survived. It would happen no matter what. You took away all the money, all the food. We'd just eat each other. We would make it. I assure you, if there's no food, we would definitely eat each other.

Cristina: Okay, there's no food. You just take away the money.

Jack: No. We would definitely survive one way or another. So there's no question of what we did. It's just the fact that money was falling apart and people were going to other means, and the one thing that created that was the flaky fear and money.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And so it just. Just stopped being useful. Totally. Completely.

Cristina: What, it's just gonna keep happening, though?

Jack: Well, it could happen again, and it could be incredibly, incredibly useless as soon as people lose faith in the thing. That's how ideas work. That's how imagination works. Money is imaginary, and you need people to have this idea in their mind to imagine it working and imagine the numbers changing in a. It needs to be consistent.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: The consistency fails as soon as some people lose faith. And then you can't sell to everybody at the same price because, well, they're not even buying. They're just hanging out with that guy over there who's giving it to them in exchange for the bread. And, like, I'm losing money because I thought the money was working, and now I don't have anything to change. I don't need the bread.

Cristina: Yeah. So do you think that's gonna happen, though, soon?

Jack: No, I don't think that's gonna happen. We're talking about the crown and how that's an idea too. And, like, as soon as. Which has already happened, people are already losing faith in, like, what the h*** does this even stand for? And now there's not even the one thing people cared about being there. So the faith in the idea is gonna leave. And just like money did in the past, the value of the crown is just gonna dissolve into nothingness, and people are just gonna, like, who gives a crap? Give me my tax money back or we'll just rise up against. Because why do we have these people? They should do that. The British are never gonna rise up.

Cristina: Oh, so it's just gonna stay like that? It's like the money, like you said, it. It. What they feared is gonna go away, and. No.

Jack: Yeah, exactly. That exact.

Cristina: Yeah. So I don't know. So you don't think the crown is worried at all? They're a little sweaty. They're like, the money.

Jack: No, they're definitely quaking in their boots. They're definitely quaking in their boots.

Cristina: Oh, okay. But, h***, yes, they probably don't have anything to worry about at the end of the day.

Jack: Why it's gonna dissolve. Why it is. Yes. I'm saying, just like, the money.

Cristina: The money didn't dissolve.

Jack: The money in the 1950s dissolved.

Cristina: No, people just got scared that it was going to.

Jack: People stopped relying on it.

Cristina: But eventually they did.

Jack: Yes, because money works that way. But the crown is not just suddenly going to be cool again.

Cristina: Oh, I. I don't like.

Jack: Obviously, if the crown leaves, it's not going to be like, well, it's five years later. But, you know, we're missing that crown. I guarantee you, if the crown leaves, we're not going to be aching for some kings and queens.

Cristina: Oh, okay. I wasn't sure what you meant. Okay. I don't do. That example wasn't great. Or it doesn't feel like it equals. Because the money is still here. That's all I mean.

Jack: No, no, no, no, no. You're looking at. I don't know why. A weirdly specific part of that argument, as opposed to the fact that they're ideas and the only thing that sustains them is that their ideas was the point I was making, that they're both just ideas. And if you don't believe in the idea, the idea doesn't hold up. And at one time, people didn't have faith in the money and the money didn't hold up. So when people lose faith in the crown, the crown's not gonna hold up because it's also an idea. See, that's the ultimate point I'm trying to make. Ideas. What people believe what people think. And people believe many, many things. The people with the crown believe the crown matters. The people who believe in the crown believe the crown matters. Many people believe the crown doesn't matter. And it's an outdated format of approach. And, like, why do we need. What do you do?

Cristina: I wonder what the actual percentage is of people who don't care versus people who do.

Jack: Huge here's.

Cristina: And just in there, though, not like the world.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, the world. Most people don't give a crap.

Cristina: Yeah. But I mean, like, here's the thing.

Jack: I. I would argue that only traditionalists care. Care.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And that even older people, older people don't care. People like most people don't care. It was entirely that we respect Her Majesty the Queen. That's really what it was about. It was that she was. She's a superhero. Superstar rock star. The most overpowered, most successful, most important being to have ever walked the earth has done more for the collective earth than most people have. That is why we were like, oh, yeah, the Queen. We don't really care about the crown. Nobody cares about the crown. That's outdated. We're over it. There's other kings and queens in the world. Name one. Exactly. Nobody cares. Nobody has given a crap. Nobody will give a crap. That's outdated. That's old. It's only Queen Elizabeth because it was Queen Elizabeth.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: But those systems are all gone. People have lost faith, and they will fall apart and they will cease to exist, because that is how these things work.

Cristina: I'm kind of. Remember her, the new guy's name? George.

Jack: Phillip.

Cristina: I don't know. Philip. Okay, that sounds right.

Jack: Yes, Philip. The worst. But, yeah, it's really weird. It's strange. How are. How our ideas sustain everything. Right?

Cristina: Yes, that is strange, man. If they lose everything or if they lose their power, either their things become part of a museum or they sell it all. Which one comes first?

Jack: And they'll sell it to a museum for the most money. But what power do they have now? Like right now, without counting the fact that Elizabeth had power? What power does Philip have?

Cristina: I don't know. He gets to talk to people, whatever.

Jack: If he gave an order, who's listening?

Cristina: I don't know how it works now.

Jack: Somebody walks outside and just says a curse word in England about the Queen. How. How long does that guy last? Right? You don't care about the crown now. Somebody goes out there and says the same thing about King Philip. Who gives a s***? No, nobody. It's about who it was, not what it is. Yeah, nobody cares about that crown.

Cristina: No, I don't think so.

Jack: It's only important because of who she was. She's not around, and we don't care anymore. It's a lot of power just gone to waste. But again, that's how ideas work. You lose faith in the idea. Suddenly all the. We had faith in the idea with her there.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Give her all the power, whatever, she's gone. All the other parts are still there, but all the power is gone. The faith was in her.

Cristina: Yeah. Any other examples of just ideas?

Jack: Ideas sustaining themselves?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Well, this is one that I've really been fascinated by my entire life. And I've had a couple of conversations with people about space in particular. And in having conversations about space, I've had conversations with people who've never once taken class relative to it. Like maybe they were raised in a country where they don't get astronomy or science isn't common. So you just don't get it. You learn how to write and count a little in the end. So I've had conversations with people with many different walks of life. And when it comes to space, there's so many different things. Now, the universe that we don't see is entirely subject to what we think is happening.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: So I tell you the sun is a ball of fire, and you got no other reference point. You think there's a ginormous distance between us and the sun and it's a ball of fire way over there. But somebody who has no reference points for that and believes no, it's a dome. And it's been like a sticker spot stuck to the top of the dome. So when we see the sun, that's not a ball of fire, it's a sticker on top of the dome. Now, from their point of view, all they're seeing is a flat disk against the dome. You're both looking at the same thing, but you see an orb that's on fire. They see a flat sticker against an orb, and it looks the same to both of you. But what your, your, your perception of it is affecting what's happening. And so only one of those arguments holds any kind of power. Your belief is directly influencing the universe. The structure of the universe is due to what you believe about the structure of the universe.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: Now while you believe that's the sticker. If I put you on a ship, flew you up, and then you saw it wasn't. Now, instantaneously, as we're getting up there, your view is becoming three dimensional. Now your, your faith in the idea has changed, so the idea itself has changed. Your power went somewhere else that has no power anymore. You took it from there and threw it over there. Now, the universe literally changed, and that's not what it looks like.

Cristina: But a lot of people have their own unique ideas of what space looks like or what it is.

Jack: I once asked an individual who, we were just sitting and I was talking about how much I love astronomy. And in the course of the conversation, this individual says, I have never once thought about what's up there. Only now talking to you, have I ever considered it. And like, wow, that's really strange. Never once, never anything. Not even the moon, the biggest thing out there. Like, nope. Looked at it. Then you think about it. Okay, so what do you think is happening? The answer? Fascinating. They don't know. They don't know how far up it is. They don't know if it's like, how far up is a plane. Are they over the plane or is the plane around them? If you look out of a plane because there's lights, but beneath are the stars just blending into the lights. You see when you look down?

Cristina: What?

Jack: They said that again? You look up and you just see dots of lights. But if you look down, there's a bunch of dots of light cities and whatnot.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So when you look down Are the stars blending into those? So there stars above you and below you now because you're so high up.

Cristina: Well, because you can't even see up there.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. It looks dark and whatnot. And you're in clouds. So it's like, okay. Then I'm like, what do you mean? It's like, okay, like, how far up do I have to go to just, like, catch one in my hand? And I'm like, oh, the visual just destroyed my mind. You think they're just really bright, but small at a distance. So, like, if you go up there, maybe you just catch it, and then it'll just go dark because it's in between your hand.

Cristina: That's very strange to imagine that something that small collide up the sky.

Jack: Well, it's not lighting up the sky.

Cristina: The sky's dark in the morning.

Jack: You're not seeing the sun. You're looking at the stars. You're looking up at the stars and seeing a bunch of tiny little dots that look super tiny. You're like, well, I don't know how high up it is. Maybe it's slightly higher than a building. That means it's really bright and really tiny. I can grab it.

Cristina: Maybe that one star.

Jack: Any star. Any of them. Any star up there. Can I get up there high enough to grab one? Like, what are they? If I grabbed it, what is it? Like, those are the. That's what I was. I'm like, holy crap. This is interesting. Never once have I thought about a situation like this.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But now a million other examples is other political structures. Think of the presidency. Presidency is only the presidency because we choose. It's the presidency, and the people agree. We agree there's government here. Yeah, but if we all just decided. No such thing. No, no, no. Biden, no power. Biden, no power. Military, you got all the guns, but we got all the numbers. We don't believe you. In fact, as people, every one of us who isn't a politician and isn't in the military, we're just all gonna say we don't agree. Who are you gonna then serve it? See, it broke. It stopped right there. Who are you gonna serve? The people. We didn't break the government. We didn't break the military. We just said we. No long. Everybody else who isn't in either of those collectively says that we no longer believe in the government and we no longer believe in the military. But we didn't touch either organization. How can either one move forward? What would they do? Who would they serve? If we're not taking it. Can't take our money. I'm gonna hold my money. You can't take my money. How you gonna take my money? I don't believe in this government anymore. I dare you to come take my money. For what?

Cristina: Still believe in money?

Jack: You can't believe in the money without believing in the government. Direct transactions. No taxes. What's the military gun? You shoot all the civilians. For what? Then who are you gonna. Then you're the only people left. No, it falls apart the second. It just falls apart instantaneously as you start losing faith in the idea.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Ideas are fragile. That is how they work. They're an extremely simple part of the human psyche.

Cristina: Oh, crap. I was gonna say of being human. Okay.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, it's definitely part of being human. I mean, we don't know if it's part of being an animal or anything of that nature, but we definitely know it's an experience humans factually have. Now, it is entirely possible other creatures also have that sort of experience, but, you know, like affecting the universe with ideas altering with our psyche what we believe. But I don't think. I mean, if you look at a dog right there. I mean, I guess it would apply to everything. It's called adapting the way our thoughts work, the way we. Okay, so faith gives something power. Right, so does this work on an animal? Would be the question here. So you take an animal, a dog. A dog believes you are their owner, you are their feeder, you are the most important person in their life. And then you beat the crap out of the dog.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: And the dog is scared and flinches, but is equally loyal because you are who they care about. You are who feeds them, you are who matters to them. Even if you hurt them, they'll be scared. They'll avoid pain. But that's so sad. It's tragic. But. But the faith in you has not been lost.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The power hasn't affected. Has been affected. You still hold the power. Dog could never alter it. A cat never gives you the power. A cat is confident. They always have it.

Cristina: Yeah. So those are just ideas. These animals have ideas.

Jack: These animals have, but they're not wavering. They're not. The ideas aren't malleable. They're fixed. And so those are two examples. I guess it's not because what we're looking for is an example of taking away the faith and losing the power of something that you took the faith from. It's like God. If everybody stopped believing God. Some God is useless. If everybody stops Believing in money. Money is useless. If everybody stops believing in politics, it's useless. Borders work that way. Borders are an imaginary line. If we just say it's not a thing, never been a thing, then, okay, there's no borders. The more people that agree, the less borders that exist.

Cristina: But do animals ever have that idea? Or I guess an idea changed like that, just. Okay, this doesn't mean anything anymore.

Jack: Yes, 100%. Put a line of tape in front of a dog that has been taught never to cross certain barriers. So they don't jump off the sidewalk when you're walking. They don't go into a specific room that you've told them never to go into, even if you leave the door open. They're trained not to do it. You go somewhere where there are no barriers, you tell them, sit, and you create something that looks like a line with tape or something across from them. Some animals will just walk around that because they're not allowed to step over it.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They've given it power. They think something might happen if they do. It could just be discipline.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But for whatever reason they are moving around. It could be that their idea is something happens when I do that. There's power happening here.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: There's a barrier of some sort, but they haven't lost. But if they did lose the faith after you tell a dog, oh, no, it's cool. Come on. You gave the power away for it. So now the dog is like, oh, it's cool. There's nothing here. It's fine. I could do it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now the power is gone. Now there's no barrier.

Cristina: So in the dog, just for when you tell them, like, hey, it's okay, then they'd be like, okay, yeah.

Jack: Chances are they're waiting for you to deactivate the power. But even better, that goes to show you that. I mean, I don't know. I don't know. Is it the dog's fear or is it their obedience? That is the question. Do they believe the tape means something, or do they believe your word means something? I guess it would be your word.

Cristina: I think it's your word. Yeah.

Jack: So it's hard. It's hard because we can't jump into the head of the animal to find out if. If it's the idea. But I guess that also goes for humans in general, right? People, thinkers. That because we can't jump into an individual's head and see the thoughts that are happening and to see the change in a perspective, we also don't really, really know that there was Ever. Even power in something that's interesting.

Cristina: What do you mean?

Jack: Well, think of people who don't necessarily believe that they should have a government, but exist somewhere where there is a government, like most places. And, like, you don't. You don't necessarily, like, agree or believe or sort of follow the doctrine. So if I were to somehow be able to visualize your thoughts and your perspective and what things have power in your mind because of your thoughts, you might be part of a system with politics or politics has power, and you've given no power to the thing that has power. So your idea could change. Actually, it could lose power. And your idea never affected it. The same way it goes. Right. You got the crown, and it's only powerful because people believe it's powerful. You believe it's important, but if you don't believe it's important, then it collapses.

Cristina: Okay, that makes sense. Yes.

Jack: Yes. The individual might have never given the crown power. So we don't actually know where they're getting the power from. If so many people believe it shouldn't have the power. Well, fair enough. People believed in Queen Elizabeth.

Cristina: Mm. So there was people with that.

Jack: I think. I think the majority believed in Queen Elizabeth, but I don't think there's any power that's gonna be projected onto Philip. I don't think anybody believes. Or ever. Maybe not ever. But current day, there was never any power put into the crown. All the power was put into Elizabeth. So without Elizabeth, there is no power. I believe. And as goes the imagination of the individual. That again, for the dollar, for the crown, for anything. If you don't have the faith to begin with, you could still partake and it would still have power without your thought.

Cristina: That's complicated.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Because it's still just a thought.

Jack: Still just a thought. And it's not a thought that you think matters, but you can still use it like it does.

Cristina: Yes. Because everyone else around you does.

Jack: Yes. So you can exist within a system in which it works.

Cristina: Imagination. Sort of.

Jack: Yeah. You're using their imagination, essentially. So if somebody gives power to a thing, you can abuse the thing. And so you're abusing the person with their mind.

Jack: Think about how powerful the idea of money is. It's powerful. Why? People starve to death because of it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You can starve someone out because of an idea. They could just pop your head off with a gun and eat your food.

Cristina: That takes money.

Jack: They could go steal all of the above in order to make it happen. You can murder somebody. You're worried about acquiring the gun in an ethical way. Just acquire a gun and do the thing. And in that instance, well, you don't believe in money, which means you can't be made to starve. That would be impossible because you don't believe you have to pay for food. Nobody's convinced you.

Cristina: So you're gonna kill someone for the food?

Jack: No, you're gonna take the food because food belongs to everybody. And if somebody tries to take away what belongs to you, you have a right to do whatever because it's your survival over theirs.

Cristina: And that's because that's what you believe.

Jack: That person. Yeah, yeah.

Cristina: That person. Yeah.

Jack: The individual at that moment. Yeah. They or they don't believe money has power. That's the argument here. They don't believe money has power. You can't starve them out. There's always another way. I mean, it goes to say that there are people who are extremely unfortunate in life, and it's because they believe they need the money. And then there are people who are astoundingly, filthfully rich, and they don't give a crap about the money.

Cristina: You think they don't care about the money?

Jack: Most rich people don't care about the money. That's why it ends up hoarding. Think about what makes people rich to begin with. It's some venture, it's some things, some fixation they chased.

Cristina: Okay, so there's still an idea, though, that's involved.

Jack: There's a powerful idea, but they're not giving the power to money. The idea just happens to be something different. But it's not an idea. That's like the idea that they're chasing isn't powerful itself, but they don't care about the power. Super mega, ultra billionaires don't care about the money. Look at all the things they do. Why don't they just sit back and relax? Live all day, kicked back? Because it was never about the money. Why didn't Jeff Bezos retire the moment he made the first billion? He'll never run out of money, ever. There's nothing he could do. He'll never run out of money. Nothing he could do. Why didn't he just stop? It was never about the money. He doesn't put power into money. That's why he has so much of it. He just keeps throwing it to the side. I don't need that. This useless tool. I don't need that with my mind. I did everything else. I need money to code a computer.

Cristina: Just the fun of running a business or something.

Jack: Yeah, there's this Other thing that they love.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That most times doesn't have power. The people who don't believe in the power have the money and then by default become the power. When they're not trying to. Jeff Bezos wasn't trying to become the power. He was good at business and then did it. Well. And he could have stopped, but no, he added more things to it. And then he could have stopped, then added more things to it.

Cristina: I guess I get the idea confused because, like, his company is buying off. Like, other companies lose out because of his company.

Jack: Yes, 100%.

Cristina: Like Netflix. The beginning when it was all powerful, it was the one everyone was going to like. There was nothing competing 100%.

Jack: But now, after you've completely sealed out the market and nothing else is coming, then what? Well, why do you keep doing it? Well, it was never about the money. That's why you did a thing. You were good at the thing, and you want to keep doing the thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Another great example, the other one, Elon Musk, you know, doesn't chase the money. Ever. Nothing.

Cristina: Doing a bunch of things.

Jack: Doing a million things.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Throw it. Literally throws away money. No power to the money. Asked the Internet, how much money do I just throw away? And they gave him a number. They told him on what. And he was like, okay, just cuz too much money. What do I do with it?

Cristina: So crazy.

Jack: Because doesn't care. Doesn't care. He rules the money. The money doesn't rule him. He doesn't care about the money.

Cristina: He rules money.

Jack: He rules the money.

Jack: You couldn't buy him. You can buy him before there was a bank. Told him, we will give you a percent increase. He's like, nah, I'd rather waste my time and money making something that isn't you.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It's like, no, you will literally make me a profit if I throw my money in you. Also, I don't care. Began not giving a crap.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Money. Never had the power.

Cristina: Mmm.

Jack: Not once.

Cristina: Okay. Yeah.

Jack: Barnes and Nobles destroying the world. Swallowing little stores left and right. Amazon comes along. I'll mail you a book. You know what? I'll mail you anything you want.

Cristina: Yeah, well, once upon a time, they.

Jack: Had a relationship, I think, with Barnes and Nobles.

Cristina: Yeah. I think with their books. With, like, not physical books, but the virtual pad thing. I think they had a thing together.

Jack: Oh, Barnes and Nobles had the Kindle Reader thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I mean, they still do.

Cristina: Yeah. I mean, Amazon, I think now has their own thing, but I think it started together, wasn't it?

Jack: No. Kindle is Amazon.

Cristina: Kindle is Amazon.

Jack: It's the Amazon Kindle.

Cristina: Okay, and what was the one for Barnes and Nobles? They have a different one.

Jack: They don't have one. They were just using Amazon Amazons. They were using the Kindle, which was reader. There are other E readers, but there aren't, like, popular ones. There's just the Kindle, which is the popular E reader.

Cristina: Oh, okay. I don't know. I don't remember. I feel like it was something related together, but maybe not. Maybe they were just stealing their business.

Jack: Yeah, I mean, it was always just about being the better business. There's, again, there's no end goal. The power for him is in purpose. These are people driven by purpose, not money. If it was the money, you got all the money. There's no more money you could make. You can stack all the money it looks equal to you did. You can't fathom that much money. Yeah, it looks the same. No matter how high that number goes, it looks the same. It's past after you're in the millions. You've already passed human understanding. What does a million anything look like? Do you know what a million anything looks like?

Cristina: No.

Jack: So, like, there's no point in stacking an infinity worth of cash. And I know they don't really. They're not sitting here counting, oh, yeah, now I got my next billion. Yeah. I'm so cool. They don't care, man.

Cristina: I hope not. That'd be really upsetting.

Jack: Why would you care? Why would you mind consider.

Cristina: Very cringy.

Jack: That's the thought.

Cristina: It's weird. It's just a weird thought. The phone's just like, ooh, my money. I don't know.

Jack: I mean, somebody's doing that.

Cristina: I know, but it's. I don't know. Just as a thought. It's cringy.

Jack: I don't why people do it about a bunch of crap. People literally do that about everything that's ever existed. That's somebody something.

Cristina: That is somebody something, I guess.

Jack: But there's somebody who's like, yeah, my shoes. Yeah, all my giant shoe collection, bruh.

Cristina: Like, there's more precious.

Jack: I guess there's a bunch of crap like that. People are. It's trophies.

Cristina: Trophies. I guess it's not that bad if it's like trophies. It doesn't like a trophy.

Jack: I mean, there's a lot of people who don't like trophies. It's clutter and just random nonsense. But there's a bunch of people who like it. A trophy is the sin of pride. Be proud of yourself.

Cristina: Mm. That's what mine could be. To some people, money is a status.

Jack: Symbol in a lot of cases, but those are fake rich. It's like that. It reminds me of the rich and the super rich. Yeah, rich and super rich.

Cristina: It.

Jack: Oh, my God. Okay, you guys need to jump on TikTok and watch Rich and super rich. But it makes sense. There is fake rich. The. You know, I got a couple of millions, and I'm better than you for it. I made a. I made millions. I'm so much better than you.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: You know, I have big house, great nice clothing. I don't wear the same thing twice. I'm pretentious as h***. You couldn't am me and Mike. You couldn't hang out with my friends. We're all rich. And then you got the super rich, the super rich. You got somebody like Elon Musk, who goes and hangs out with, like, Joe Rogan before he's even a millionaire. A multi millionaire. You know, he's just, like, maybe touching a million right now. He's just hanging out with Elon Musk. Because I must like. I like how you talk to people. Still no mega billions offered on Spotify. It doesn't matter. Look, I like you, bro. I like how you approach things. You're cool. And so are you.

Cristina: Hanging out with Dave Chappelle.

Jack: Hanging out with Dave Chappelle. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. This is the type of guy who those average rich people, the people with millions. Oh, no, those are crappy people to him. He doesn't like those people. Pretentious douche wads. You guys are so full of yourself. Let me drop my wallet on you and destroy your house with it.

Cristina: Okay, but he doesn't hang out with those people.

Jack: He hangs out with people he likes with poor scientists and weird creatives and, like, why doesn't he surround himself with Jeff Bezos, his only other equal? Like, screw that guy. He doesn't care about rich people. Also, Jeff Bezos is not doing the same thing. Bought the block and hangs out alone. He's not trying to show his money off. Actually, Bill Gates did the same thing to literally bought three blocks around him, moved everybody out, knocked it all down, and just lives on the block that's now his property.

Cristina: Ridiculous.

Jack: But he wasn't showing it off. He was doing the opposite. Let me go. Disappear and leave me alone, please.

Cristina: He's a super rich.

Jack: He's super rich. He's not trying to show off the money. Dude wears a crappy button up in slacks every day.

Cristina: So is Dave Chappelle, though, and Joe Rogan. The rich.

Jack: No, because they also got the h*** out of there. They're just trying to be away from people and not in the public eye. They're not throwing their money around. Their tools are a million other things. Okay, well, Dave Chappelle has one tool. It's just a really good tool. While Rogan has 50 million tools and somehow still took him. So all of that. All of that to just scratch the surface of what Chappelle is capable of. It's tragic. But also. Why are we comparing? It doesn't even matter. What's amusing here is how in a lot of cases. Because it does have power. Because people project power onto these ideas, like money and politics, whatever. It's funny how it could influence right back. It's not just the use of money can. So you put value in the money, and then the money is required for the system, and then there's a bunch of people in the system who don't have access to the thing. You could hurt somebody with your idea. Literally a thing. But it's funny when people get it. A bunch of. The idea. They got a bunch of money, a bunch of power.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And in having all of this, they still don't seek to. They don't hire their status to blend out of it. Yeah, they. They don't send out. They're very subdued about their approach. Rogan had all the things he needed before the money. He got the money, and he's happy about it. But the money didn't affect him. No, the money didn't affect Chappelle. The money didn't affect Elon Musk. The money didn't affect Jeff Bezos. But there's some people who get the money and they just. Again, it's power. They just don't know what to do, and it lands on them, and they either burn it on a bunch of crap they don't need and go broke immediately, or get involved in things that's outside of their control because they weren't raised in the circumstances and they think, I got the money. I can start jumping into these things, and then they lose all the money that way. Or get involved in things that is hard to pull themselves away from simply because the money has the power and you're only gonna optimize it. Well, no, you're chasing the money. That's the problem. That kid got the million dollars. That guy invested and walked away. He'll come back in 10 years and be twice as rich. You decided to do a bunch of crap with Your money. Because it's money. Oh, it's important. I gotta react.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So much money. And so that thing happens to people. That's a powerful idea. Money is the most powerful idea. Money stronger than God.

Cristina: Is it less powerful to people who are born in it? Like if their family members.

Jack: No, no. It's the polar opposite. It's absolutely crucial. It's essential. It's the most powerful tool because you literally don't know how to cope without it.

Cristina: But what if you take over whatever it is your family's into that is doing it? Like, if they did it for the love of the job, then you'd end up doing it for the love of the job. But also you'd get that money.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. If you're. Yeah, definitely. Now, that doesn't change the fact that it's incredibly integral. If you're. Here's the problem. It's hard to dodge because you have no reference point outside of it. So money is God. It is the most powerful thing in your life, even if you're used to it. I guess that's a problem. You're used to it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: If we take it away, you're homeless now.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now take somebody who's lived in poverty but isn't homeless. If I took away everything you had left, you'd just figure it out again because you already did. But being raised into money is being put into the situation without the experience that got the person who got there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So you don't have to struggle. Yeah, yeah. You can't recreate it. You didn't do anything to get there. So you lose it. You don't have a roadmap back. The people without it have a roadmap to get wherever they're going. They got there without the money.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Money has the power. Don't get me wrong. They're seeking the money, but they also have to learn how to do crap without the money because everybody else has the power. I got no power. I have to learn how to be autonomous and move without the use of money because money's too powerful. I gotta bring myself up to compete as opposed to the people who have the money. They're wielding the power, but they never develop themselves. So without the money, they have no power and they're useless. But the people without the money have all the skills because they needed it. But they don't have any of the power. So those people develop the skill and get paid by the guy who has the money.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Everybody's tied into the power, no matter what.

Cristina: Yeah. Around the Money around the money. Okay.

Jack: And all of the money is established by. Okay. Why? Why can't I take my money to. Because the politics. The two powers work together. The law says I can give that guy the money and the receipt proves that I did the thing. So he can't screw me, he has to do the service. Or I can take him to court. Because the law said the thing. The power helped the power, but they're putting the money in their pocket. Those rules are just for themselves, really. They need to apply to everybody. Or we eat them. They just apply to you guys. Or they just apply to us. Somebody's going to die. Yeah, you have to apply to everybody. Allegedly. But it doesn't really.

Cristina: That's a Lisa Peer.

Jack: Yes, yes. But let's be fair. Laws are for poor people anyways.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: 100%. We've had this conversation before. Laws are entirely only designed for poor people. Rich people do not have to face the law. That's why every crime comes attached with a fine. You get to commit crimes. If you're rich, pay the fine, you're good.

Cristina: How many fines? Like, you could just pay fines forever. There's no punishment for having a ridiculous amount of fines. I mean, if you're paying it off.

Jack: Then it doesn't matter if you're paying it off. Who cares if you are a billionaire? Walk outside, shoot somebody in the head, you're not going to jail. Well, this is the fine. Pay it. Okay.

Cristina: If you murder someone, you don't get a fine for that.

Jack: There has literally been cases with fines that are murdered. Usually an accident, though.

Cristina: Yeah. So.

Jack: Yeah, but there have been. Well, it's manslaughter, not murder.

Cristina: Oh, manslaughter. Okay. Oh, I guess that's kind of cheating, but okay.

Jack: Yeah, they took a life, but they didn't go to jail because they paid the fine.

Cristina: Okay, I guess I see that. What?

Jack: Yeah, money's strong. Money's strong. Ideas are powerful. Ideas are overpowered. Ideas manipulate people. Ideas control people. Ideas change everything all the time, for everyone, all the time. Ideas are powerful, but minds are weak.

Cristina: Minds are weak, Yes.

Jack: A lot of weak people allow other people's value into their life.

Cristina: Definitely. Yes.

Jack: And then they surround their personality around that thinking. That's something they had, but they never thought about it. They're just screaming what they heard. And now this is important to me because it's important to them, but I don't know why it's important. I just know I'm doing the thing.

Cristina: But that's survival instincts, I think.

Jack: Do what Everybody else is doing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Blend into the crowd to survive. Yeah, but that's the power of ideas, man. That's what. That's how. That's how it goes. Thoughts and ideas and whatnot.

Cristina: That's our thoughts on thoughts. Thoughts on ideas.

Jack: Thoughts on powerful ideas or giving ideas power. Thoughts on giving ideas power.

Cristina: Like money or politics or religion, in order.

Jack: I think money stronger than God, then I think comes religion, then I think politics. People will sooner react to God than they will to politics. But even the church begs for money. Even the church begs for money. God needs that loan.

Cristina: It does.

Jack: Anyways. So I suppose. And look, we have a million other episodes talking about the mind in many different ways. There's actually an episode about consciousness, many misconceptions about the mind and things of that nature. About computer minds. We talk about the mind a lot.

Cristina: We talk about computer minds.

Jack: Yeah, there's a bunch. There's computer minds, there's consciousness, there's awareness, there's the perception, reality. And there's a lot we talk about.

Cristina: There's a lot. Yes.

Jack: So when it comes to thoughts and things like that, there's a plethora of that. You guys can find all that stuff. You guys can go talk to us. Go have. Go chat us up. Tell us what you want us to talk about here on the Rambling podcast. Tell us what you want us to talk about. Find us on the socials. Just convopod at Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, and.

Cristina: Remember to subscribe, rate and review the show. Yes. Leave us some stars and let someone who might like this show know about it.

Jack: Yes. Because word of mouth is a very powerful and important thing. It's a powerful idea. If you tell somebody, you go up and you tell them, hey, I think the show is really good, really important. I like it a lot. That idea is really powerful because now they're like, oh, maybe I should give it a listen.

Cristina: I might like it.

Jack: I might like it. You like it. You like it a lot, you said.

Cristina: Yeah, a lot. That's interesting.

Jack: It's a powerful idea.

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

Jack: But they weren't recording cameras. A lot of these guys for the Me too thing were recording text messages and conversations. They were having an audio recordings of these women were saying and plotting.

Cristina: So though. Yes.

Jack: In the case of, like, phone cameras, it'll be too obvious. She'll just stop. She'll stop her bullshitting.

Cristina: Audio. Oh, the audio was from, like, in Johnny Depp's case.

Jack: Yes. That helped Johnny Depp's case that it turned out his chick was abusive and bullshitting all the way through.

Cristina: Yep, she was abusive.

Jack: She's a monster. And he is innocent as f***. But then we also have this problem where these companies stick by their guns even after they're wrong.

Cristina: Who?

Jack: Like Netflix.

Cristina: Oh, Netflix.

Jack: Yeah, like, okay, Kevin Spacey. Guilty, guilty, guilty. Then he proves his own innocence. Where's Kevin Spacey? You guys. Oh, you guys owe Kevin Spacey. He was. He's guilty of a lot of crap.

Cristina: Well, they have. I don't know.

Jack: But you kicked them out over this one. That turned out to be bullshit. And he proved that he had saved discussions.

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by great dots.info art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth McCallister with social media managed by Amber Black.

Rambling 209: Reviving The Dead

Is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ an event that took place? If Jesus never died, were any sins cleansed? Will we have to be the ones to resurrect Jesus Christ? The duo begins the process of searching for the best way to extract Jesus from cryostasis, but in order to do so, they must deep dive into all the different methods of revival conceived of by man.

Rambling 209: Reviving The Dead

+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 Rambling Podcast. I am your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I am your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. And look, when we're grounding those ideas, they tend to be really baffling. And so we go into more baffling ideas and it says it's a. What do you call it? A self fulfilling prophecy? No, it's a feedback loop. The feedback loop.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That's what happens. But listen to me. Last week we were talking about how different people celebrate death.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: And I was thinking it'd be real interesting if we got on to fixing our big problem. The opposite of death. Revival.

Cristina: Oh, bringing Jesus back.

Jack: Yeah, apparent. Apparently it's up to us to be responsible for the resurrection.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So that's the thing.

Cristina: So waiting for signs to catch up isn't good enough?

Jack: Nope. I mean, what are the odds? The odds that if we go into the future and they're just a bunch of cat people, they're not gonna help us?

Cristina: Yeah. So there's gotta be a better way.

Jack: This has got to be another way. So I figure we would look into a couple of the ways that people and media have discussed coming back from the dead.

Cristina: Do zombies count?

Jack: Zombies. Okay, look, if you're a voodoo zombie, you didn't come back from the dead. You're still dead. If you're a science zombie, you never died. Okay, this is the problem. See? Yes, the issue. Because the. The. The. The. The voodoo zombie is just a puppet. It's an empty shell.

Cristina: Huh? We can't do that to Jesus.

Jack: Well, he wouldn't be Jesus. He would just be an empty puppet. We gotta tell him to do stuff.

Cristina: Aren't we gonna do that anyway?

Jack: No.

Cristina: What's the plan? I don't know why we're bringing him back.

Jack: Powers, I guess. Well, we're really investigating him more than anything.

Cristina: Okay. If he has powers to help us and doesn't want to help us. Voodoo zombie.

Jack: I mean, first, let's pick that apart. If he doesn't want to help us and he has powers, are we facing a. The boys type scenario?

Cristina: We have a groundhog.

Jack: Okay, listen to me. We can potentially. Is what you're saying here like the image is playing in my mind that we take in a. In a rogue Jesus scenario where we bring him back to life and he's like, I'm not helping you. In fact, I am stopping you or whatever happens, we then go ahead and grab Steve the groundhog and immediately fling him at Jesus.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Hoping that a combat happens in which the Pokemon. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. In which the. In which Steve the groundhog with his.

Cristina: Communication with the clouds. Like, it's not just Steve the magical groundhog. He's got buddies.

Jack: If it works.

Cristina: If it works.

Jack: What if it doesn't work?

Cristina: What then?

Jack: What? Like what's what? What? What does Steve have on Jesus?

Cristina: Weather.

Jack: Weather.

Cristina: He controls the elements. Except for fire. Lightning counts. So that is fire. Right.

Jack: That's interesting. So his one avatar. Almost. He's almost the avatar because he doesn't control fire. That is true. There's like a gap in his knowledge. So he's not like a groundhog. Could never be the Avatar.

Cristina: Why not?

Jack: Because he doesn't have control of fire and you have to.

Cristina: Well, he has control of the weather and the weather has fire.

Jack: What weather has fire?

Cristina: Lightning.

Jack: Yes, you're right. It's just a form of fire. Fair enough.

Cristina: And aren't there fire clouds? That's not a thing. Fire tornadoes. He can make fire tornadoes also, like.

Jack: What'S wrong with Aang for not doing that?

Cristina: I don't know, because that's probably not natural.

Jack: Just hella op. Is that natural thing fire tornadoes at the Fire Nation?

Cristina: That would be amazing.

Jack: Come on, dude. That's just like. All their boats are screwed.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Making tidal waves. He could do whatever he wants. The Avatar's op. It's real exaggerated.

Cristina: Except he's a peeps will. Dude. Crystal Mark. Yeah.

Jack: Usually the Avatar is a very pacifist. Has to be. That's a lot of power.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And with great power comes great responsibility. According to Uncle Ben.

Cristina: Ben? Well, Ben's not around. What's the hedgehog fight?

Jack: The hedgehog fight the hedgehog.

Cristina: What is the groundhog Groundhog fight.

Jack: So throw Steve at Jesus.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's gonna fail real hard.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because Jesus look, this fight's gonna go like. Do you remember that movie where the people were like magicians and then they got like. They were like secretly thieves. And the greatest trick ever was the movie. And then the end is them robbing the bank or whatever. They were explaining the whole thing throughout the movie until the heist gets pulled.

Cristina: Off and like, yes, the cops was chasing them, but it turns out the cop is actually one of the magicians.

Jack: Yes, Mark Ru. Magician of them all.

Cristina: I don't. Okay, what about it?

Jack: Well, that movie where they are doing that, I figure. I figured that that's kind of how it would play out between Steve and Jesus. I feel like they're.

Cristina: He's the greatest magician who.

Jack: Jesus.

Cristina: He's like movie magic. Magic.

Jack: Yeah. He's mind bogglingly magical.

Cristina: Yeah. Nothing too crazy, but just crazy in the. No one can actually do this.

Jack: Okay, fair enough. Look. So Steve, the legit demigod, versus Jesus, the totally human illusionist who's just really clever with his hands.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: He's gonna beat this overpowered groundhog.

Cristina: But his illusions are so real.

Jack: Yeah. With his sleight of hand.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He's gonna. With the power of sleight of hand, j defeated the groundhog.

Cristina: Okay, so how are you bringing him back?

Jack: Okay, I don't know, because cryostasis is pretty complicated, and it seems we don't know how to reverse a problem in which the blood vessels themselves freeze and just become icicles.

Cristina: What if we find a vampire? Could that help?

Jack: I'm not sure that would bring them back. I'm pretty sure the vampire still has a circulatory system that functions.

Cristina: Vampires can turn humans into vampires.

Jack: Right, but now what are you gonna do if the blood isn't pumping around this person's veins?

Cristina: We pump it first. We can't do that somehow? Oh, no. That's part of the problem. Okay. Okay. What else?

Jack: Well, we have to figure out what else, ultimately, because cryostasis is so complicated. So undoing the fact now. First we got to try to understand what the h*** cryostasis is and is like the person conscious on the other side. So you've died. The light's gonna go out, but we stop you right. Right before.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Then we throw you in a tank of water, and then we fill it up with some liquid that creates the solution that essentially freezes you. Are you conscious in that time? Are you seeing the outside world?

Cristina: I don't know. You're probably dead.

Jack: Do you feel that? So you're not there the whole time. They have to. Literally, there is a revival actually happening.

Cristina: Like bringing someone back from dead?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Right?

Cristina: I think so.

Jack: Except you never died. They stopped it. That's the point.

Cristina: Yeah, then it's more like being in a dream.

Jack: Look, were you dreaming? Is the point. Because your brain still had to be functional in order to be brought back.

Cristina: I don't know. You probably were. People who wake up from that stuff, remember things.

Jack: But then the question is, do you remember the entire time?

Cristina: No, I doubt it.

Jack: Not the entire time. But you. Is it like the longest dream you've ever had? And there's like a million billion dreams because it's been so long.

Cristina: There's no way you can remember all those dreams, though. You'll just remember a few last dreams, maybe.

Jack: Well, the question is then, what about people in comas? Do people in comas feel that they were in a dream?

Cristina: I bet they do. Because don't people come back from things like that? I don't know about comas, maybe comas, but like, they come back with life, life after death experience, whether it's like heaven, h***, or living as someone else. Those are just dreams.

Jack: Yeah. Okay, fair enough. Those are definitely just dreams. There's no way they really just became another person. That wouldn't make sense.

Cristina: So I don't know. They're not dead dead and sometimes.

Jack: But we don't always know why somebody comes out of a coma, which would be the closest thing we have on a regular basis of bringing somebody out of death, a coma. Because we can sort of, to some degree manage a coma. But we don't always know why a person comes out of a coma or what's holding them in the coma to begin with.

Cristina: Yeah, it's usually something random or I guess we don't know at all. They just wake up.

Jack: They just pop up. They suddenly start recovering or not recovering, but wake up. Just wake up?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Why'd they wake up? Who the h*** knows? And it's always random. Like maybe they'll wake up.

Cristina: So are we just gonna hope that Jesus wakes up?

Jack: No.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So one of the first things we could try would be to go real old school and we just take him out of the tank and CPR him.

Cristina: What?

Jack: That is the most consistently used, most old school and effective form of revival cpr.

Cristina: But never on someone. Not like in his condition.

Jack: Never on somebody in his condition. But he has brought people back from the dead.

Cristina: How long were they dead for?

Jack: There have been people who've been dead for minutes. And this brings them back because he's been.

Cristina: Wait, I guess it might not have been that long. Because if we got him right at the moment that they hid his body and then we put him in the machine, although it's probably been a week or two. It's been like two weeks now.

Jack: Something like that. Yeah, sure.

Cristina: Yeah. So maybe it's safe.

Jack: Yeah. Because presumably what the liquid of cryostasis is doing is slowing down the process up to almost a. A full stop, the process of death. But it's not fully stopped. So all we have to do is re. Speed it up. Right.

Cristina: You know how to do it?

Jack: Well, we could do. See we just undo him and put cpr.

Cristina: So that's it.

Jack: Undo it and pump his heart, push oxygen in there and start pumping.

Cristina: That sounds very easy.

Jack: Hope it jump starts him.

Cristina: Is there a chance that that will fail? If that fails, does he die?

Jack: I mean, I'm pretty sure in every option, if we fail to revive him, he's dead.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Like, if we try it and it doesn't do anything and we just put him back in the box, will he be okay?

Jack: I don't know if that's how that will work, but we could always try. We could always just throw him back in.

Cristina: Yeah. Just keep retrying with different things.

Jack: Yeah, but we would have to obviously come to a conclusion. To what? A couple of things that we would try first. Okay, I'm just gonna randomly try.

Cristina: Just do everything. Okay. That sounds like a good one, though. Yeah, it doesn't seem like anything could go wrong.

Jack: What, and giving him cpr?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Well, alternatively, way old school, the defibrillator is a way to go. We go get a defibrillator, we pull him out of the tank, and then we just hit him with electricity a couple of times to the chest. Who knows? Maybe think about it. Shocks, warms the body.

Cristina: He's all wet.

Jack: Yeah, it's gonna conduct well.

Cristina: It's gonna kill him. Burn him up. He's gonna be on fire.

Jack: Do you think he'll be on fire? Yeah, it depends if that liquid is flammable or not.

Cristina: What if it's super flammable?

Jack: What if it's not flammable at all?

Cristina: Wait, is it the liquid in his blood?

Jack: No, I don't. I mean, it has to be at this point, right? How long has he been in cryostasis? How is it not three weeks? No, no, no. He's been in cryostasis for 2,000 years.

Cristina: Then we just put him in a time trial. No, we came back from the time travel. Oh, I thought we brought him back.

Jack: No, no, no, no. He's been in cryostasis for 2000 years. We only went back in time to put him in cryostasis. We didn't bring him with us.

Cristina: Yes, I forgot.

Jack: Santa Claus bring him to us as a gift.

Cristina: Duh. Okay, let's not do that. Oh, my gosh. Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay, so anything we do to him is super risky.

Jack: Yeah, everything's gonna have risk. I am thinking that the defibrillator is definitely gonna have a little more of an oomph, and chances are it might work more. It is electricity. We are trying to Bring him out of a sort of frozen imitation state. And it seems like electricity to the heart, to the brain, that can do it. That could be the thing. It would heat again. It would course through the body, heating up random little bits. He's not literally frozen. But it's imitating frozen. Maybe. But then maybe because he's not literally frozen, it's a bad idea.

Cristina: It might be a bad idea. I don't know. We gotta talk to an expert. Ask them. One of those people in that weird website that we saw about. What the. The cryostasis people. Ask them if you could defl.

Jack: They don't know how it works.

Cristina: Oh, so if you ask them if you could do that to one of.

Jack: Them, they don't know how it works? They know because they're waiting on the technology themselves.

Cristina: Like anyone's trying, though.

Jack: Why would they try? The purpose of freezing the person would be defeated. If right now is when you. Because you just kill them.

Cristina: What if someone put that in their will? I want you to leave me frozen for this long and then leave me.

Jack: Regardless of how far technology has gone.

Cristina: Why has no one done that?

Jack: Who knows? Maybe somebody has.

Cristina: That's a crazy.

Jack: Maybe they're like, when the last living member of my bloodline is born, I want to be woken up. Or when the last living member of my bloodline is like 20 years old, I want to meet what they're like. So I want to. That's when you bring me out.

Cristina: Yes. Even if the tech is not ready.

Jack: Yeah. Which doesn't make sense because you just wake up and die.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Or not even wake up. You'll just die. You'll just take you out. Boom, flop. Which I'm expecting would happen. Which is why we need to figure out what to do to Jesus right off the bat to resurrect them.

Cristina: Okay, so I'm still not sure about that one.

Jack: The defibrillator.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: It's a bit aggressive.

Cristina: I feel like we could hurt him.

Jack: But he's gonna be dead if we do nothing. So, like electricity over, no electricity.

Cristina: Okay, maybe.

Jack: I think that works a lot. Alternatively, there's a bunch of magic options that we can use.

Cristina: Those are the only non magic options.

Jack: I mean, there are other science y options that aren't magic, but.

Cristina: No, let's hear about the magic.

Jack: But voodoo is. Again, he's not. He's not alive. Technically, we wouldn't be able to use his magic. We'd be stuck using magic on him, which would defeat the purposes of what we need. But if crap got Bad. And we need, for whatever reason, to.

Cristina: No, that doesn't make sense, Uncle Bernie. Yeah, like, we don't need to do that. What is the purpose of that?

Jack: To fake his aliveness.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Somebody came to visit, and we wanted to pretend he was alive. So that they don't know he's dead. Nah, because they'll think the second crucifixion happened. Or saved again.

Cristina: Why are we gonna confuse people? Let's not do that.

Jack: Okay. Non voodoo, black magic. This is a weird one, because we'd be literally using the forces of evil. We, you know, make some sort of animal sacrifice, gather a couple of things here and there. This is the way to go. This is definitely on the better side of options. Find an animal, cut it open, spill its blood over a thing. You know, the whole ritual thing.

Cristina: But is it, like, supernatural, that you have to, like, give up your soul if you make the deal?

Jack: Well, this is magic. This isn't a deal with a demon.

Cristina: Oh, it's not. It's not gonna lead to a deal with a demon or anything.

Jack: No, no, no.

Cristina: The magic isn't asking for anything.

Jack: No. I mean, it's black magic. Something always goes wrong. But, yeah, probably not predictable like that.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But black magic is definitely one of the ways to go.

Cristina: Mm. Because we don't actually have to do the black magic.

Jack: We don't have to do the black magic. We have creatures that know magic or advanced technology, which is this magic. I don't know when it's magic and. Or technology anymore.

Cristina: It sounds like magic.

Jack: It sounds like magic, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: What if it's nature tech?

Cristina: Nature tech, who knows?

Jack: Right. But yeah, so we can definitely approach bringing Jesus back from the dead with black magic. A lot of the issues with this one is these black magic tactics always tend to come back to Satan, and it's unlikely that, like, they'll work. Even if they did work in every other instance, why would Satan allow them to work if it was to revive Jesus Christ? So I think the technical issue here relies more on who is for rather than its true effectiveness. And on average, I'm sure that black magic would just be effective.

Cristina: But because it's Jesus, Satan's gonna be like, nah.

Jack: Yeah. And it won't be effective.

Cristina: Why would Satan care?

Jack: Because Satan doesn't want it to be Jesus. Satan doesn't like Jesus.

Cristina: Why? He doesn't know Jesus. You think he knows him? He's not just some dude claiming stuff. You think Satan knows him?

Jack: Satan might know. Look, no. If Jesus is who he says he.

Cristina: Is, then yeah, we shouldn't risk it. Okay, what if he takes his body? Maybe we make a deal like that.

Jack: Give Satan his body.

Cristina: Yes. Still thinking, like, supernatural.

Jack: Yeah. No, this wouldn't work. Look, there's no crossroads demon happening. This is not a crossroads demon scenario. This is just magic. You're gonna put the things together, you're gonna throw some of their hair, you're gonna light their picture on fire. Say a thing, your lights are gonna go out. A demonic voice is gonna say something, and then lights are gonna come back on, and then your dead missing person is gonna be in front of you, and you're gonna be horrified.

Cristina: Mm. Mm. That doesn't sound so bad, minus the.

Jack: Whole dead person's not fronting part.

Cristina: Well, he's not dead.

Jack: And in the case of Jesus, he's already the kind of type of dude who would mess around with these kind of special effects, so.

Cristina: Exactly. So you don't know if it's from him.

Jack: Yeah, so Houdini ness, he likes go out, whatever. Then Poofy's there, and he's like, hey, cool, it worked. You're like, yeah, whatever, dude. It was the end of one of your tricks or whatnot. What? Not sure. Sure, sure.

Cristina: It could be him. Oh, that's interesting.

Jack: Thus making him ultimately the best magician.

Cristina: Can he rob a bank?

Jack: He probably robbed the bank in the time we were doing that.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: With his superhuman speed, of course. Okay, but look, we are talking about magic. We got voodoo out of the way. We got black magic. But there is a different type of magic that is also really exaggeratedly strong. And we don't even understand how it works. Saint magic, saints magic. Some saints literally brought people back from the dead with prayer, with it, I guess, with, like, the touch of their hand.

Cristina: Where was their hand touching?

Jack: You know, it was touching. They came in, jumped right back up with a little pip in their stuff. But look, no, it's totally the case. Some of the saints were, in fact, bringing people back from the dead, which brings an interesting point here. In the situation where this is the option that we had to use, we would need to go back in time to go get the guy who can fix the problem that we created by going back in time. So if this was the option we chose in good old time travel fashion, the solution to time travel is time travel.

Cristina: We're stuck in a loop. That's what happens when you use a time machine.

Jack: No, always 100% of the time just.

Cristina: Trapped using the time machine. It's the only solution. No, just be going back and Then coming back and then going back and then coming back.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We totally were trying to avoid this. And then we didn't use that for years. We didn't touch that machine for years. And then we touched the machine once, and we're right back where it wasn't touched for years. So I see why the previous set of clones stopped.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And we continued the tradition of not.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Until we did.

Cristina: So we did. And now we have to do it again.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because in either direction, we began the problem with time travel. It seems like we could only solve it a lot. Time. With time travel.

Cristina: Oh, no. I was gonna say, are there any saints right now? But we now just wait for them to die before making them saints. Were they saints and a lot like they're alive saints or they weren't actually saints when they're alive.

Jack: They weren't saying something.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But listen to me. Here's what's fascinating about your question. This means that there's people out there who aren't saints who are performing power.

Cristina: Like things right now.

Jack: Go to.

Cristina: I don't know how.

Jack: Yes. Oh, how we're gonna find them.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because there are people with powers out there. That part's right.

Cristina: We investigate every church.

Jack: They don't have to be religious. Maybe they're just doing things. There's a bunch of people who'll never become saints because they're doing crooked things with their powers.

Cristina: But those are gonna be hard to find. I feel like it's way easier to just find the people who are more obviously gonna have those people in there that.

Jack: Yeah. The people who want the attention, who want to be saints, are gonna hang out in the places where they're most likely to get that attention.

Cristina: Mm. But I feel like there hasn't been any. I don't know. I don't pay attention.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cristina: It's a problem or anything.

Jack: If we were into the church and things of that nature and heavily paying attention all the time, then we would, like. It would be like, sports would be like, oh, this saint's gonna be drafted or whatever.

Cristina: Well, this pope is gonna be drafted or whatever.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'd be all into it. You know, like, who's team leader this. These next couple of years, or when.

Cristina: I feel like time travel is way easier.

Jack: What? Than finding a saint.

Cristina: Yeah. Someone that's alive right now who's not a saint yet, who's on their way to become a saint.

Jack: But we can always go and get a saint from the past.

Cristina: Exactly. So that's what we should do.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Time travel.

Jack: Time travel seems to always be the solution to solve the problems of time travel.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That is an endless, infinite, always kind of problem. So this is definitely like, a winning possibility. Just go get the guy who literally has the power to bring somebody back from the dead.

Cristina: Yes, yes, yes, yes. It's the only way.

Jack: It's not the only way.

Cristina: It's not. What's the other ways?

Jack: There's probably other ways. We're gonna find that out.

Cristina: You said saints brought people back to life.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Do you know any of their stories?

Jack: There's a couple. I don't know them off the top of my head, but I remember them. Yeah. Oh, I remember. Saints bring. Specifically.

Cristina: I remember.

Jack: I don't know why I was looking this up a long time ago, but I did stumble upon stories of saints and their revival of people. They're bringing people back from the dead. And crazy healing things too. Blindness and whatnot. Exaggerated things.

Cristina: Okay, yeah. But yeah, and Jesus probably brought people back to life.

Jack: Probably. I don't remember. But yeah, sure, why not? He's definitely the type of guy who would do that. Him and his apostles all bringing people back from the dead. So if that's the case, one of them. One of them should be able to bring Jesus back.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Especially if we're like, hey, we're from the future and Jesus needs you.

Cristina: I know who to bring back. Even though he really. He doesn't relate to Jesus at all.

Jack: Who St. Patrick did St. Patrick bring? Why would you bring the one guy to. He's so overpowered. He got Jehovah shaking in his boots.

Cristina: Exactly. Like, he might not have ever revived somebody, but he has the power.

Jack: He's pretty overpowered. Maybe he might be useful against a cat people.

Cristina: Yeah. Oh, he can be useful in many ways.

Jack: Yeah. But also, we failed at getting something overpowered like that in the first place. We way under thought that plan. Huge hole.

Cristina: Okay, so it'll somehow be easier to get one of these things. Oh, I guess. If they know who we have. Okay, never mind.

Jack: Yeah, we're like, hey, help Jesus.

Cristina: I mean, why wouldn't St. Patrick help Jesus? That's his Jesus too.

Jack: Yes. Except he's not an apostle.

Cristina: And he must care.

Jack: I mean, I guess you don't have to be an apostle and. No, you're right. He should care. He should care. He hates demons and such.

Cristina: Yeah. So he must love Jesus.

Jack: He must love Jesus. But he's so off the, like, chain. He's so dangerous. He's a wild Card.

Cristina: He's a wild card.

Jack: He is. He does random things. He's a dangerous, dangerous person.

Cristina: Yes, I guess.

Jack: So we get him, okay? We get him and we get Jesus back from the dead. Then how do we control him? We got Jesus back from the dead. Now what?

Cristina: We have Jesus.

Jack: We can't even deal with the freaking cat people. We're going to mess with whatever the h*** St. Patrick is.

Cristina: Okay, then didn't Jesus.

Jack: Yeah, I think definitely dodge overpower.

Cristina: I mean, not Jesus. One of his dudes.

Jack: Yeah, because it's too dangerous. It's too dangerous. Guy who just overpowers Jehovah as a God himself. That's. We're messing with some big potatoes.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah, that'd be so cool. Well, okay.

Jack: I mean, the question.

Cristina: Maybe another time, would.

Jack: Would Steve. If we threw Steve at St. Patrick, how would that go?

Cristina: I don't know. St. Patrick would banish him. Like the snakes and the monsters.

Jack: Wouldn't it be an epic battle?

Cristina: No, he'll make him drown. He'll just go back in the water and then Steve would just walk into the water and drown.

Jack: What's up with that? Isn't that what he told all the snakes and stuff? Just leave?

Cristina: I guess. I don't know what he said, but they were so scared of him that they ran into the water and drowned.

Jack: Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah, he has some hypnotic ability that makes him real op. Maybe he's not even overpowered. Think how the story goes. He really just told a bunch of crap to leave Ireland and it did, so. And then he went in and told Jesus. I mean, not Jesus. He told Jehovah, hey, let me run the thing. And then Jehovah was like, yeah, cool. He's not actually doing anything other than one really overpowered thing. He has some ability of suggestibility.

Cristina: Oh, crap. He's a magician, too?

Jack: Oh, no, his hypnosis.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: He tells people, hey, do the thing. And they just do the thing. They don't know why.

Cristina: This means these saints aren't reviving people. They're doing magic power.

Jack: Well, they do have powers.

Cristina: Not real power.

Jack: Why? That doesn't mean that he doesn't. Like, St. Patrick doesn't know he's doing it. He thinks he has a power and.

Cristina: Think they have a power.

Jack: But what are they doing that they're bringing people back from the dead?

Cristina: I don't know. They're doing some trick and it's bringing them back. But they might not be dead to begin with. They might just seem dead. They have this trick. It does the job.

Jack: So we go ahead, we find one of these guys, we bring Jesus out of the tank, and this guy does this thing, and Jesus just stays dead. Cause he's actually dead.

Cristina: So we probably might not do that. I don't know.

Jack: But Jesus isn't actually dead. That's why he's in cryostasis.

Cristina: But can their magic. No, he's just. What's happening to him is too advanced to the stuff that they're used to dealing with.

Jack: They're dealing with magic. It's so different. No, if it is magic.

Cristina: If it is magic. Are you risking it?

Jack: He's dying anyways. We're trying to pick what we're gonna do.

Cristina: Exactly. So we should find the best solution. Yeah.

Jack: Now we're going through them.

Cristina: Okay. I'm just saying this one may not be it.

Jack: Oh, why? I think this is definitely a way more likely candidate. This and probably the defibrillator. I feel like electricity is a way to go. That's a strong, strong candidate.

Cristina: I don't know. I feel like we're just going to kill him.

Jack: He's dying either way. The only outcome where he doesn't die is if this works.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He said regardless of not.

Cristina: Mm. Mm.

Jack: So next thing that we could try would be to actually let him die.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Because then we go ahead and we buy a Ouija board and we tell him that he needs to go and become a detective. And that that way he can find his body and come back to life.

Cristina: I don't understand.

Jack: We're gonna make him become a spirit detective.

Cristina: What is a spirit detective?

Jack: Spirit detective is a person who is a detective for the spirit world.

Cristina: I don't understand what you're talking about.

Jack: Yeah, there's demons and stuff that get loose from the spirit world, and you gotta catch them and take them back to the spirit world.

Cristina: Is this a cartoon?

Jack: Yes. Based on the Yu Hakusho.

Cristina: Okay. That's okay. You have to be a spirit first.

Jack: Yes. You become a spirit, and then you have to earn your body back. So we put Jesus, who is way into challenges.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And we tell him with a. An Ouija board. Yo, become. Go to this spirit precinct and talk to the spirit cop office. The detective. Spirit mode.

Cristina: This sounds very risky.

Jack: And then he's gonna go into the spirit, you know, police station.

Cristina: What if he's not interested in coming back? What if he's cool with the spare world?

Jack: Well, he this. Then it would fail.

Cristina: Regardless of what we're doing. If he wants to die.

Jack: Yeah, if he wants to be dead.

Cristina: Huh? Huh? Huh? Crap. What do we do to stop? What if we put mittens on his hands?

Jack: For what?

Cristina: I don't know. So he won't kill himself.

Jack: Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. This is the. The assumption here is we bring Jesus back to life, he realizes he came to life, and then he just immediately tries to commit suicide because he believes or not he believes. He's like, I should have died.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I want to be dead.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I said all that stuff so they would kill me.

Cristina: He was prepared to die. We took him, took that moment from him. Yeah, he's miserable. What if he's like data? He's like, this isn't real. I just need death.

Jack: Well, plot. Tw. Is the world godless now? Because we stole Jesus and he didn't actually die, and so no sins were.

Cristina: Cleansed, I think because we snatched him. He's in heaven.

Jack: No, we snatched Jesus, who dies for the sins.

Cristina: Oh, he never actually died for the sins.

Jack: He never actually died for the sins.

Cristina: Well, the first time, he never actually died for the sins. I mean, he died for a second, but does that really count?

Jack: Yeah, it was kind of cheating, wasn't it?

Cristina: Yeah, like, he was kind of cheating.

Jack: Died for your sins. And it's like, well, he didn't stay dead for your sins.

Cristina: I couldn't stay dead. It doesn't matter. He could. He slept for our sins.

Jack: I mean, yeah, it's like death to him totally didn't matter. And he totally was a spirit, bro. Which means this could have worked. Maybe he was fading in and out of random moments, and people saw him here and there. But we could have directly communicated with him because he was already trying to communicate from the other side.

Cristina: When was that?

Jack: All the times they saw him after he died. But we then changed history by actually putting him in the thing. So he didn't show up anywhere as a spirit because he never died.

Cristina: But there's still stories like that, so that has nothing to do with anything.

Jack: Well, they think he died.

Cristina: Exactly. So they always thought he died, like it doesn't matter when.

Jack: Those stories so happened. Interesting. But he never actually visited any of them. Fascinating.

Cristina: Time travel.

Jack: Well, we solved that. There's a lot of weird things happening. Like that time that those guys were in the furnace and Jesus popped up. Like, what's that? He was in cryostasis.

Cristina: Was he? That was the story after he was dead, I guess, because I thought he was alive somewhere. I have no idea where that story takes place.

Jack: That's not after he died.

Cristina: I don't know how long the story.

Jack: Goes after his death or before he was born. This is also weird. Stories like that. Yeah, like, hold Jesus and then, like before he's even born, showing up.

Cristina: I have no idea. The timeline is weird.

Jack: Yeah. It's unclear what's happening with Jesus, but, yeah, he can go through those trials and tribulations and become a spirit detective, which is right up his alley. Get vanquish evil or.

Cristina: What does he have to, like, fight and stuff?

Jack: Yeah. And he's a pacifist.

Cristina: Yeah. That doesn't make sense.

Jack: He hangs out with murders. I doubt he's really a pacifist. I'm sure that's just.

Cristina: But he has them fighting for him. He's like the boss, dude. The ash. No, like the mob boss. I don't know. He gets his bodyguards or whoever, apostles.

Jack: To do his dirty bidding.

Cristina: Yeah, they're the ones that murder and kill for him. He doesn't have to get his hands dirty.

Jack: Hey, Peter. Go get him. Go get him, Peter. Yeah, boss. Hey, I get him, boss.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: Jesus. I got him. Balls, Bob. Jesus.

Cristina: I doubt they sound like. I don't even know what that's supposed to sound.

Jack: Neither do I. But look, if he did become a spirit detective and then he did reclaim his body. We have his body.

Cristina: How long is this process?

Jack: It could take a while. And then they're gonna give him a little egg and he has to rehatch his soul or something. I don't know. I don't remember exactly the details of it. He has to raise it, and then it's gonna be a real spirit animal. India, in the human world, he's gonna have a spirit animal. If we do this, Jesus gets a spirit buddy, but a pet.

Cristina: He has to be in the animal.

Jack: No.

Cristina: What does that animal have to do with anything?

Jack: If the animal dies, he dies. So we'll always hold that over his head. We'll trap the animal in a cage and we'll tell him that he has to stay with us or kill the animal.

Cristina: That's the dumbest thing ever.

Jack: And because he's Jesus, he doesn't want the animal to die.

Cristina: What?

Jack: It also would kill him. Even if he wants to die, he doesn't. He's still Jesus. So we got him. He's alive against his will because that means that animal dies. Now he must live at all. This is a really good one, actually, Because Jesus told himself on earth, die. So we go ahead and we put him to being a spirit detective, and then he becomes human after he gets his little spirit why would he want.

Cristina: To do any of that?

Jack: And he hatches it, and he has a spirit egg that.

Cristina: What if he doesn't want to do any of that?

Jack: If he doesn't want to do it, we'll figure something else out. But if he did want to do it, we would get him. As soon as he hatches this egg, however many months, years down the line, we trap the animal. We trap it.

Cristina: How would we see it if it's a spirit animal?

Jack: No, we can. It's. It looks physical to us.

Cristina: How do you know?

Jack: I've seen all of this before. And then we catch it.

Cristina: Weren't they dead and they came back to life? So that would mean they would see it. Like.

Jack: Everybody sees it.

Cristina: You're positive?

Jack: Yes. It's like a weird alien creature. But look, now we have it. And they forever. Jesus has to listen to us because now this animal will be hurt. And he doesn't want that. And that is a huge trump card. This is a double whammy. He gets his body back, and we get a way to put a check on him if he does turn out to be overpowered.

Cristina: Unless he doesn't care.

Jack: Unless he doesn't care. But if he did care. Boom.

Cristina: Kabla, kablam, kablam.

Jack: If he does want to do it in order to get his body back, because I doubt he just wants to be dead, then we got him.

Cristina: And if he just wants to be.

Jack: Dead, then we'll figure something else out.

Cristina: That's very tricky. Okay.

Jack: And why would he just want to be dead?

Cristina: Because what if he just wanted to be dead back then?

Jack: If that was the case? But I highly doubt he was just a suicidal emoji.

Cristina: There's so many.

Jack: There are, but I doubt he was one of them.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: He was a ringleader. What kind of ringleaders? A suicidal emo. He's probably some jock douche wad at most.

Cristina: No, he's surrounded by them.

Jack: Probably be so easy to trick into doing this. He's like, bro, you could totally be a cop. Whoa, Goose cop. I'm super on board.

Cristina: Maybe.

Jack: You know, he'll totally be down. He doesn't care. He was down with whoever. That's the most hippie crap ever, dude. He's down for anything. He was like, that guy is a total.

Cristina: He was down to die.

Jack: Yes. But now, because we know he was even down to die. So in this case, we'll be like, hey, you're down to do this? And he'll be like, yeah, whatever. But then his rules are we don't hurt anybody. And that's when the animal comes in. It will be his fault directly if the animal gets hurt, and he doesn't want that. So we forever hold him immortal and with us. And we can hold that bird. And if he tries to do anything with. Against us, we kill the bird anyways. Killing him. Turning Jesus into our weapon. We're gonna turn Jesus into our weapon.

Cristina: Are you sure they give him a bird?

Jack: Yes, it comes from a spirit egg or something.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And it hatches into a little blue furball thing.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah, it looks like Furby. Oh, it's hideous. It's horrible.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But, yeah, it evolves and it's part of who you are.

Cristina: All right. That's an interesting plan.

Jack: It's definitely a way to go. Another way we could go is what you were mentioning a crossroads demon.

Cristina: Yes. Really?

Jack: That is. But again, this is a hard one because it's right up there with, like, using black magic in the case of a crossroads demon. Is he just going to deliver the soul of Christ back to the body of Christ in exchange for my soul 10 years from now?

Cristina: Well, we wouldn't sacrifice our souls when.

Jack: It comes to crossroad demons. Yeah.

Cristina: Why can't we just get someone else to do it and sacrifice their soul?

Jack: Oh, we could do that.

Cristina: You've got workers.

Jack: But, like, yes, 100% and they're down. So we'll just use one of them, one of the subhuman.

Cristina: So what could go wrong?

Jack: Well, the question here is we do this, we get the person, they do it. Would the demon bring the soul of Jesus back to the body of Jesus?

Cristina: Yeah. No. I don't know.

Jack: Why would he. Woody, why would a demon bring the soul of Jesus back to the body of Jesus?

Cristina: Maybe he'll do it for a certain amount of souls. Maybe he has a system like, oh, if you give me 10, it has.

Jack: To be worth the soul of Jesus. That's. That's the. The lopsided way here.

Cristina: Yes. He could have Jesus soul after Jesus dies.

Jack: So we're not even. Fair enough. He's bringing the soul of Jesus back, but temporarily, like, you get to keep the soul of Jesus, too, after he dies. Interesting.

Cristina: Does that work? I mean, that doesn't work for Jesus.

Jack: But he doesn't even know in, like, whatever. He was already apparently in h***.

Cristina: He was in h***.

Jack: That's how the demons got him out. Oh, when he dies after we pull him out of the thing.

Cristina: Oh, wait.

Jack: The problem is, when we take him out of stasis, he dies immediately.

Cristina: Ah. Okay. And that's why the demons.

Jack: We don't know how to undo stasis. We're just trying a bunch of other s***, huh? But it would work, right? His body's fresh.

Cristina: Yes. Okay, so we have to assume that Jesus soul is going to h***.

Jack: Yeah, we have to assume Jesus is going to h*** first for this plan to work.

Cristina: Or this demon would sneak into heaven just to get Jesus. So that's crazy.

Jack: Yeah, fair enough. Even if it's a whole entire espionage mission to us, it feels instant.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: In their abstract, outside of time, they could do a whole invasion, get the soul of Jesus from heaven, bring it. But, like, why would they do all that for my measly waxhole? And if they could do that, why haven't they already just done that?

Cristina: Okay, well, because it's in him right now.

Jack: Yeah, fair enough.

Cristina: It has to go somewhere else and then they can get it.

Jack: I don't think that. I don't think they're gonna risk it. I don't think they're gonna do. And they're just gonna keep the soul of Jesus down there? They're not gonna help. It's too valuable.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: It's too risky. What kind of a stupid demon would. Would you leave that guy doing that job if you got the soul of Jesus Christ somehow, and then you come in like, hey, where is it Bob? And Bob's like, well, this other guy was like, hey, I know I'm like a nobody, but I'll give you my soul if you bring Jesus and you can keep Jesus afterwards. And then it's like, well, that. No, I'm a nobody to begin with. So they're just like, why would you do that? For this, like, worthless other soul.

Cristina: That's where that guy get Jesus soul.

Jack: Yeah, but, like, what if Jesus figures out how to undo it? Ah, he's a slippery one, that Jesus.

Cristina: Okay, that's possible.

Jack: He's a slippery one, that Jesus.

Cristina: Last thing you want a good idea.

Jack: It does. It does. Okay, so we don't do the crossroads because it doesn't work out, or demons don't want to help, or it's too hard to get Jesus out of heaven because he didn't actually go to h***. Fine. What if we did alchemy and opened the gate?

Cristina: How would that help?

Jack: Well, then we go ahead and we pull Jesus out of the gate back into his body.

Cristina: Will that be that same Jesus? Wouldn't that be a different Jesus?

Jack: Well, we're gonna look for that same Jesus. We gotta go to the other side.

Cristina: To wherever it would be a Jesus without magic.

Jack: We're gonna bring him back to the place where magic happens. That's the point.

Cristina: And he'd be able to use the magic?

Jack: Yeah, he's from over there. Look, Edward lost his ability to use magic. But if you were to bring him back, he'd use magic. It's because over there is where magic is impossible, okay? It's the location, not the individual. Jesus would still be able to do magic on this side.

Cristina: Except there is no magic here. We are the other side. We just haven't figured out what is really going on. Because there is no magic.

Jack: It's all technology. Yeah, it's always technology.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Including black magic.

Cristina: Yes. So we haven't really figured. It's just a bunch of question marks.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. For real.

Cristina: So, I don't know. That plan doesn't sound bad. But don't we have to sacrifice something in that plan, too?

Jack: No, we'll get a Philosopher's Stone.

Cristina: Don't we have to sacrifice things to get the Philosopher's Stone?

Jack: We'll find an already made Philosopher's Stone.

Cristina: Where?

Jack: Don't know. We could find things. So we're good at finding things. We found a plethora of things.

Cristina: You think we'll find that?

Jack: I mean, we should be able to, shouldn't we?

Cristina: How?

Jack: That's the one thing we wouldn't find of all the things. Come on.

Cristina: Because that's complicated.

Jack: How?

Cristina: Like, isn't that made through many souls or something?

Jack: Right. Why would that mean that there isn't one to track down?

Cristina: Where would he even start?

Jack: I don't know. We found so many things. Where is this doubt coming from?

Cristina: Because this is a thing. And usually we find living things, not objects.

Jack: We will apply the logic we use to find living things to this one object.

Cristina: Because we're not object Hunters, but this.

Jack: Object will allow us to hunt a living thing back to life.

Cristina: It seems tricky, unless you have an idea where we would start looking for it.

Jack: Well, no, the idea would be that we know. We get the gist of how it works. We wouldn't just, hey, we're gonna go right now and find it. This is where it has to be this very moment. Obviously, an investigation would be run. We would figure out where it's most probably at, where we could find one of these. Then we would go retrieve it. I don't know off the top of my head, where it's like, hey, here's a map. This is where it is. I'd have it by now if that Were the case.

Cristina: But, like, do. Are we in a rush? Is Jesus about to die?

Jack: If we know Jesus only dies once we bring him out of the cryostasis.

Cristina: Okay, so he'll just stay there forever? Yeah.

Jack: He's already been there 2,000 years.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: He'll wait. He'll be fine.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The moment we take him out, we need to apply one of these things.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: In order to bring him out.

Cristina: I don't. Okay, that makes sense.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Do something. We don't have to do it quick. Okay.

Jack: No, there's no rush. But definitely pulling a soul from the other side of the gate. One way to go.

Cristina: A very odd way to go. I don't know how that's gonna work.

Jack: Okay, what do you mean?

Cristina: Because that's not from here. That's over there when he dies. The gate. Like, how do we get to the gate?

Jack: We're gonna do alchemy to open it.

Cristina: But we can't do alchemy here. Or at least not the same way.

Jack: We don't know that. We don't know that. We're gonna figure out if we can.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Have you tried alchemy to figure it out?

Cristina: No.

Jack: Then what are you making these assumptions based on? We'll find out.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: We'll find out. Find out. Many options. Now, obviously, the time travel option itself of, you know, use. Use time, go forward or back and solve it somehow. We go forward. Hopefully the technology's there. We go back, we find somebody who can solve the problem. But that might also be bullcrap if it turns out that they were all bullshitting to begin with.

Cristina: Oh, yes, man, that might be a good one.

Jack: Yeah. There is a cheat sheet. We could. By the way, another way the time travel could work out is if we go back in time to the moment we were gonna go back in time and tell ourselves it doesn't work out, or go back in time to where we landed to get Jesus in the first place. And then we tell him not to do it because it's not gonna work out either way. We can cut ourselves off at one point or another and stop this from ever happening.

Cristina: Let's not do that.

Jack: But different thing that we could do is we could just go into a universe that has Jesus not in cryostasis, and then go back in time in that universe and s***** up Jesus and bring that Jesus forward, Thus having two Jesuses, the cryostasis Jesus and the non cryostasis Jesus.

Cristina: We get the non cryostasis Jesus to bring back.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Why do we need two little. What do we Do.

Jack: I don't know. I don't know. But Jesus would be like, whoa, dude. And then he would bring himself back from the dead after we un. Cryostasis him and he dies, then he dies. Well, he's gonna die immediately after he's out of cryostasis. We just need somebody to bring him back to life somehow.

Cristina: And then Jesus is gonna do that.

Jack: Jesus will then bring Jesus back to.

Cristina: Life, and then he'll hopefully help us.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Which one?

Jack: Either or. We have two Jesus now. Jesus times two. In this case. Yeah. In this case, we end up with Jesus times two.

Cristina: Okay. That's the best plan I've ever heard.

Jack: This is pretty solid way to take this.

Cristina: That's going into a different world. Not world, universe.

Jack: We have to travel into a different universe to pull this one off.

Cristina: And do we have the technology?

Jack: Hopefully. I mean, we have the technology, and there's that giant rip in your backyard that takes us to universe three.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: So, like, we could definitely get there.

Cristina: From what we know about over there, I think Jesus is dead.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: From what we've seen on the Internet and stuff.

Jack: Oh, everything. No, everything is theoretical. That's why nothing is real.

Cristina: Oh. Nothing is. Oh, he may or may not be.

Jack: Yes, yes, yes, yes. He may or may not be dead or may or may not even have even existed, so.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, we could still investigate.

Jack: Yes. But also because nothing is a sure thing. There might just be. No. There might just be no Jesus over there because nothing is real over there. Everything is a lie. Everything is made up. Everything is a conspiracy theory.

Cristina: But he'd also be walking among them without them knowing.

Jack: That's fair.

Cristina: So I don't know how he'd find him, though.

Jack: Well, here's a different one. We could gather all the Dragon Balls. Again, we're good at finding things.

Cristina: You think you'll find Dragon Balls?

Jack: If we're gonna. If any of these other options are gonna work, it's as plausible that we would find the Dragon Balls, get the Dragon Balls together, summon Shenron, and then get Shenron to bring Jesus back. And Shenron has no stake in it, so he will just bring Jesus back.

Cristina: How? How would we even look for the first Dragon Ball?

Jack: We're gonna find people who have already found some Dragon Balls, and then use their methods of fighting the Dragon Balls. It's just a matter of figuring out what clues tell us that somebody has Dragon Balls and then slowly stalking those people.

Cristina: What?

Jack: I got this all planned out. We're gonna figure it out.

Cristina: Okay, so we're gonna be spying on people who may have the Dragon Balls.

Jack: Yes. Anybody who's found more than one is looking for them. They spread out evenly throughout the world. Anybody who has more than one is looking for them.

Cristina: Yes. And they're going to be obvious.

Jack: We're going to figure it out. We have the ability to surveil everyone. Okay, what so we can surveil. We're going to. One of these is going to work. And when we know for sure, we know for sure which of these is the one that's going to be the best.

Cristina: And the Dragon Balls are on Earth.

Jack: The Dragon Balls are on Earth. One set of the Dragon Balls are in Earth. There's a different set that is spread out throughout the galaxy.

Cristina: Okay, and how many balls are there?

Jack: Seven.

Cristina: Seven. Okay, that doesn't sound so bad.

Jack: No. And if somebody has more than one, that means they know how to get some.

Cristina: And why would they want to help us?

Jack: They're not gonna help us. We're just gonna follow them until they get all the Dragon Balls and then we're gonna s***** them.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Like we're Team Rocket.

Jack: Good old Team Rocket plan. Yeah.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Anyways, so look, this is definitely helpful. We. We have some plans, we have some ways of action to deal with Jesus. We're going to investigate these ways. We'll look into them, see which ones are the most effective, potentially which ones might pan out. Well, potentially.

Cristina: Love it.

Jack: And we're gonna try to bring Jesus Christ back from this cryostasis we put.

Cristina: Him in, hopefully with another Jesus.

Jack: Yeah, that would be great.

Cristina: Or we might have a groundhog fight.

Jack: That would be great too, if we could just throw Steve Adam and they have an epic battle.

Cristina: Two Jesus versus Steve.

Jack: Two Jesus versus Steve. Well, look, this is a topic we have never discussed before, although many of the topics in here have been discussed before, which means that there are episodes that could be found with similar topics in some of these. When it comes to time travel, parallel universe. When it comes to. There's a whole episode, there's several episodes about death, questions about death theory and the afterlife. The afterlife. All of that stuff. So much stuff going on. You guys can find all of that stuff. You can find us on social media as well Twitter and Instagram and on Facebook at just combo pod.

Cristina: Remember to subscribe and review the show.

Jack: Yes. Leave us ratings and let someone who.

Cristina: Might like this show know about it.

Jack: Because word of mouth is the most important breakfast of the morning. You should have several breakfasts in the morning. 12 to 13. Recommended by Most doctors.

Cristina: That's crazy. That's crazy.

Jack: You're supposed to feel full.

Cristina: No, this has been the Rambling podcast. Take nothing personal and thanks for listening.

Jack: Bye. But yeah, that's f***** up. People started to record and so many fakers were outed because of proof with proof. Actual interactions of imma. Say, I did this if you don't do what I want.

Cristina: Is it a good thing or a bad thing that we're just recording everything? Like, it seems to be helpful, but also we're. We don't like being spied on.

Jack: Look, it saved the guys that were innocent. And it's continuously happening. On the flip side, it looks to the women who are actually being victimized like it's dying again. Yeah, the movement is dissipating and it's entirely the fault of the women who are lying, who are getting caught lying. If you're gonna f****** lie about it, sell it so that the women who are truly innocent and getting raped can get their voice out. But you're so garbage at lying and you don't care about your gender. The f*** at all, definitely that you're just screwing over people actually getting raped because you wanted some money or attention or some bullshit.

Cristina: Probably attention. I don't know.

Jack: Ridiculous. Super ridiculous.

Cristina: Yes. But the camera thing. Weird.

Jack: No, it helped George Floyd's case, I guess. Although we had video before and nothing was happening. It doesn't really. I don't know.

Cristina: When does it change things?

Jack: Change things at George. I don't know.

Cristina: It's random.

Jack: It's random.

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by Great Thoughts.info art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth McCallister with social media managed by Amber Black.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Cristina: And I am your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. And today's pressing issue is the fact that 2022 is in a coffin in a hole somewhere.

Cristina: I don't. I can't imagine that.

Jack: You can't imagine that it's in a coffin in a hole somewhere?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Well, it happened.

Cristina: It happened.

Jack: It happened. Now we're in 2023. This is the first episode of 2023 when it comes to the beautiful, lovely Rambling podcast. Because the 2022 version of It Died. It Died. Is dead. It's one with the thing now we're on episode, however, starts this year. Yeah, that's what this will happen, bro. And the birth of 2023. It's like 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. I don't know what day it is, but it's this year. And it's that many days old.

Cristina: Yeah, it's that many days old.

Jack: It's that many days old in theory. Although that should be like seven days. Right?

Cristina: That feels like the right number because.

Jack: Sunday started on the first.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So seven days from Sunday would be Saturday.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Which would make Saturday the 7th, a full week.

Cristina: Yeah, that makes sense.

Jack: That means today is the week. Birthday of 2023. Happy birthday. 2020. Or happy. I guess it's also birthday. It's not an anniversary celebrating the year. It's not. Birth date. Happy one week ago. Birth.

Cristina: Yes. That makes no sense because, like, the person listening is probably not listening when this is happening. So this.

Jack: Time stamping. So they know when it happened.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now they know. Oh, of course. That happened on Saturday 7th January of 2023. It has to be, you know.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That's how it goes. That's how things happen.

Cristina: It doesn't feel very important to them.

Jack: To who?

Cristina: The listener.

Jack: What doesn't feel important?

Cristina: Just having a stamp like that.

Jack: Maybe we don't know. We're not the listener. Unless you're going back and hearing every episode, which I'm not doing.

Cristina: Please don't do that. Or do that.

Jack: Listeners do that.

Cristina: You.

Jack: I don't know what you're doing in your own spare time.

Cristina: I'm listening to them in reverse.

Jack: So it's satanic messages all the way through.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: In reverse. Just starting at the new ones and going to the old ones.

Cristina: No. Well, yeah, I guess it doesn't matter.

Jack: Really?

Cristina: Really?

Jack: It doesn't matter what order you do it? It's a podcast. It works.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah. It works either way.

Jack: It works either way.

Cristina: There's no story being told. Or there is, but it doesn't make sense anyway.

Jack: Yeah, it's, like, loose enough that, like, it doesn't matter where in the story you jump in. You're still lost. Like, I remember this kind of being mentioned. If you go an episode back, you're like, how the h*** is this the same thing?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So, yeah. Anyways, with the death of 2022, I was thinking that it would be very interesting to look at all the different death things that happen, specifically, like, how we would send off 2022 now that it's dead. Do you mean been seven days since its death? Well, there's a bunch of death rituals that take place in the world, and I thought it would be very interesting.

Cristina: To pick one to send 2022.

Jack: Often put 2022.

Cristina: Well. Okay.

Jack: And show them the reality of the matter when it comes to that, you know? So I got a couple of different ideas of how to handle burials. And then I also have the idea to. For us, that we're gonna pick one, and then we're gonna make a coffin, and then we're gonna put 2022 in it, and then we're gonna do whatever thing we choose to do with it.

Cristina: Are all of these related to burying it?

Jack: No, but it doesn't mean we can't make a coffin, put them in the coffin, and then leave them there until we're ready. Because it's a vampire, We. What if we need to close the casket with it in it and put garlic all around it so it's trapped in there, not coming out?

Cristina: I think we're supposed to tie a.

Jack: Bell on it or something if we bury it.

Cristina: Yeah. Oh, but we're not burying it.

Jack: No. We're just keeping it around until we know. Until we know it's both not a vampire and what we're gonna do with it.

Cristina: Okay. What are some of the things we could do with it besides burying it?

Jack: Well, the most unique thing I've ever seen ideologically, makes perfect sense, which is in Tibet, they. After you die, they chop your body out. They chop it.

Cristina: Chop it into little chunks.

Jack: Into little chunks. And then they feed it to the animal so that you can be part of nature.

Cristina: Okay. The first part was disturbing. Somehow the second makes it a little better.

Jack: Well, the ideology here is complicated. It serves a couple of purposes, really. Yeah. So first and most Importantly, by chopping the body, you've released the soul that was trapped inside the dead body.

Cristina: That's how you get it out.

Jack: Cut it out.

Cristina: What? Okay.

Jack: Second, the body is then used for nature feed. And in doing so, you take away the toxins. This will show itself again later.

Cristina: Toxins.

Jack: Toxins. Because the body is dirty and germs are like, abandon ship. And all the germs are, like, getting off.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That's why it's, like, not advised to come in contact with dead stuff, because the germs are all evacuating. And you touched it and it climbed on you, and then they're like, oh, no, we found the host. It's all good.

Cristina: Wait, are they feeding these animals that people like?

Jack: Yes, they chop up the people and then give them to animals.

Cristina: They're not cooking them or anything. I don't know.

Jack: I don't know. They didn't go that far.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: But I know that that happened. They call it a sky burial. Usually they put them really high up so the birds get to them first.

Cristina: Oh, that's cool.

Jack: Yeah. Then they become part of the sky.

Cristina: And that's cleaning toxin. The queens.

Jack: Yeah. You don't. You don't give them to the. You don't put them in the dirt. People walk all over that dirt.

Cristina: Oh. So you.

Jack: The birds just take it and then their bodies destroy whatever is in there.

Cristina: Okay. There's no animals that would get sick by eating dead human by accident.

Jack: I mean, there's probably a crap ton of animals, but I don't think we're thinking that far.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now, in Madagascar, there's a bit of a otter thing happening. I don't think we're gonna do this one. I just think this is interesting. But in Madagascar, they do what is called dancing with the dead.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Which is a weird sort of tradition in which every few years you go to the graveyard, you dig up your dead, you pull them out every few years of the grave, you wrap them in new clothing, and then people play music, and you dance with the body.

Cristina: Every few years. You said every few years.

Jack: Every few years.

Cristina: I don't know if I like that one.

Jack: Well, what it does is help the body decompose faster by putting fresh new things for crap to grow on and eat the body.

Cristina: Is that why they're doing it, though?

Jack: That's one of the things that happens as a result.

Cristina: Oh, but they have explanation of how it started?

Jack: No, I wasn't looking for the history or the beginning of any of these things, just looking for what people do.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And that's what they do over there. They dance with the dead.

Cristina: They dance with the dead. Wow.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: That's so strange.

Jack: It's pretty weird.

Cristina: Yeah. I mean, maybe it's better that it's newly clothed. Like, if it was still in its crappy clothes, that would suck more. Would it matter? I don't know. You're dancing with a dead thing. That sounds like. I don't know.

Jack: Yeah. Completely goes against. But then again, I guess there's no germs left. Everything left. But no, if it's still decomposing, there has to be.

Cristina: That's why you wrap it up.

Jack: Yeah, I guess. But then why go through all this? Why not just let it, like, don't ever come in contact with it type of situation?

Cristina: That's cool. What was the first place?

Jack: The first place was Tibet.

Cristina: Tibet. This is Madagascar. Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Cool.

Jack: Yeah. One burial you're very familiar with, probably because everybody has seen it in a movie or walked by the beach and seen a floating body on top of a raft lit on fire. It's really common. Can you imagine?

Cristina: That's not very common.

Jack: But everybody's heard of that.

Cristina: All the movies. Yeah.

Jack: Yeah, all movies. All the movies ever.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: If you're gonna be cool, you're gonna light somebody. It's because it's. The reason I sent so many movies is because there's a lot of movies about the Norse people and Norse events. And this takes place in all the Nordic countries.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Just. They just send them off and burn them.

Jack: Well, it's not necessarily burning. There's a couple of ways this could be taken, but often times they just lay them atop a cliff on, like, a. Not like a raft, like a thing that's gonna slide down the cliff, and then they just let them slide in. Some of them are the floating ones that they send out.

Cristina: Some just go out to drown. Well, not really drown. They're dead, but just.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: They're burying them in water.

Jack: Also known water graves.

Cristina: Oh, okay. That makes sense.

Jack: Yeah. So they. They do it a couple of different ways, but the idea. That's why it's Nordic countries, plural, because there's variants, but they're all. Essentially, we're throwing your body in water. There's different ways of doing it. Here's a raft, some fire, it looks elegant, and you sink.

Cristina: So even when it comes to burning the body is not really about burning the body. It's just about sending your family in the water.

Jack: Yeah. I think the burning the body might be symbolic of something.

Cristina: Yeah. But the main goal is you're gonna go in that water.

Jack: Yes, always. The main goal is your body is hitting that water one way or another.

Cristina: And you don't know the explanation for that.

Jack: A lot of. A lot of these, or just in general, death rituals don't always necessarily have a complex thought attached to them. It's just an easy way to dispose of bodies without having them pile up and toxifying all our areas.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And considering hole digging isn't the easiest thing in the world, a lot of cultures decided to just opt out of that.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Didn't even cross their minds, really. And it's just like, we're doing this because it's easy. It's not like, oh, there's some profound.

Cristina: Deep way to get this around us.

Jack: Yeah. It's essentially you just got to get rid of the body one way or another. Yes. So in India, they have something weird and interesting, I suppose.

Cristina: Weirder than dancing with the dead.

Jack: Very similar.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: So they actually sort of parade their dead around town.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Visibly. Not even, like, hidden. Just like, hey, people, look at this dead body I'm hanging out with.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Yeah. They do, on the other hand, have weird things attached to the. To them. Like, they'll dress them in colors appropriate to, like, whatever they believe the person represents. So an example would be, like, red for purity or, like, I don't know, yellow for knowledge or something.

Cristina: That's interesting.

Jack: So they would be dressed in the color that they believe best represent the person, and then parade them around town.

Cristina: So everybody knows they must get something from that, though. There must be some reason for that. Or I guess it is just a. Celebrating the person who died.

Jack: Celebrating the person who died. For sure. I'm sure there's some deeper profound meaning as associated to why they need to do these other things. Or again, it could just 100% be like, hey, they were cool. Everybody look.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But if there is a reason, don't know why.

Cristina: Because it's not about getting rid of the body. If you're bringing the body out of its grave. Is this a yearly thing too? Or a random. Did it say? Or this is like an anniversary sort of thing after they die.

Jack: No, this is just after they die, and then they get cremated and there's no way to do it again.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Okay. I thought it was one of those weird things of every.

Jack: No, no, no. Show the body to everybody, then dispose of it so it can never be used again.

Cristina: Oh, that's pretty cool. I guess this is the last time. And that's it. Okay.

Jack: Well, coming back to the idea that a dead body is toxic, there is a ritual that's very odd and also includes birds. So there's a tower. They take the body to the top of the tower, lay it at the very tip and leave it there for crows. Because crows can purify the body. Now you're looking for something with meaning. This is something with meaning.

Cristina: Where is this happening?

Jack: This is happening in Zoroastrian. What?

Cristina: And what is, why is this happening?

Jack: Well, they believe the body is incredibly toxic. And the crows are the only things that can kill or not, I guess. Yeah, crows, vultures mainly. Anything that's gonna pick at the body. So vultures are gonna devour the body. And they believe that the vultures ability to eat anything toxic is the best way to dispose of the body. They don't want to come in contact with the body, they don't want to touch themselves, they don't want to bury it. They don't want around people. They think that's tainted and dangerous.

Cristina: I wonder how long that process takes. They gotta wait for them to eat everything before they put another body or something. How does that work?

Jack: Like if several people die?

Cristina: Yeah, I'm guessing it's such a small place that maybe they don't have to worry about multiple people dying at once.

Jack: Could be. But also, even if multiple people died at once, what? They travel across the country to bury their dead? I'm sure they all have a thing. And like how many people die in a city a day? Not like a lot. I'm sure you could get it done at one location.

Cristina: It's one tower though that they're going to.

Jack: No, it's probably many towers.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: They called the activity the Tower of Silence.

Cristina: Oh, what's it called?

Jack: The Tower of Silence. That's the Berry Ritual. It's called the Tower of Silence.

Cristina: It sounds really cool.

Jack: Yeah, you take them up there, you put them and you don't go back.

Cristina: Alright, I like that one. That might be my winner. Wait, should I be spoiling what I'm voting for? Okay, ignore that. Although I'm really interested in that one.

Jack: You're really interested in that one? Well, there's a couple more to go through and then we can make a choice. So one of the ones we can go to is the people of a place called Tinguyen. They dress their deceased in the fanciest clothing they can find and then they sit their body on a chair and then place a cigarette on their lips. We've actually seen there was a popular photo of that going around the Internet a long time ago, people were like, what the f*** is wrong with this lady? And I actually had no idea, but now thinking about it. Yeah.

Cristina: Okay, so it's. People just wait with a cigarette. That's important.

Jack: Some people just put the. I don't know why they put it, but they do.

Cristina: Okay. They dress them up and sit them there.

Jack: They sit them on a tray at.

Cristina: The funeral, at the house. Where's this person at?

Jack: You. I mean, it could be at the funeral.

Cristina: They're not just gonna keep it there forever, are they? That's not the end of the story, is it?

Jack: It's probably at a funeral, and then they. Probably.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Because that would be very strange if you just have a dead person there greeting everyone in your home, just living with you.

Jack: Well, let me follow up with the next one then, because the Van Goet people blindfold their dead and then sit them on a chair, usually in their house.

Cristina: What? What? What's the blindfolding? That's kind of creepy.

Jack: Not sure. Maybe you also don't want to see creepy eyes.

Cristina: Yeah, that whole thing is really weird. I don't know.

Jack: Can you imagine getting home and there's just a dead body sitting on a chair, and nobody's making a big deal about it?

Cristina: That is very strange. But they think it's not strange. Well, we don't know if they're living with this dead thing. Hopefully not. I don't know.

Jack: Seems like they're living with it.

Cristina: Well, that is a weird one.

Jack: It is a really strange ritual. My idea is, like, it has to be so uncomfortable. Right. But then if you're used to it, I don't know if you're adjusted to anything. It doesn't matter.

Cristina: People have trophies of animals.

Jack: Yeah. Anything that's normal is just normal. Now let's see. The Cebuano people, they dressed. They dressed the children who are attending the funeral in red so that they aren't bothered by ghosts. That doesn't even have anything to do with the dead guy.

Cristina: No. Unless the dead guy's gonna bother them. Unless they're wearing.

Jack: Ghosts are protecting him.

Cristina: Yes. Oh, that's very worrisome about who those people are.

Jack: It's like lamb's blood letting God know which kids are the right ones to kill.

Cristina: Yes. Maybe that's like, if you have. If your kid isn't dressed in red, they're gonna have a bad life because they were at the funeral not wearing red. Because luck is so important. So this is a good luck thing. And then not Wearing red would be.

Jack: The bad luck, I guess. But it is entirely to protect him from Gose.

Cristina: Yeah, but like for the rest of their lives or just this moment?

Jack: Don't know what to tell you.

Cristina: Because if it's for the rest of their lives, then it's kind of a bad luck thing. If you don't wear red, you're haunted forever.

Jack: But why?

Cristina: I don't know. Why are you just haunted for the funeral?

Jack: Because there's a ghost there.

Cristina: There's a ghost there.

Jack: Bare minimum. One.

Cristina: One ghost. But aren't the adults afraid of being haunted? I guess. Or whatever they expect this ghost to do?

Jack: Don't know. There doesn't seem that they're dressing in red.

Cristina: No.

Jack: And again, maybe they are.

Cristina: Maybe they are.

Jack: I don't know. Let's see. The Sagada region hangs coffins from cliffs. It's closer to heaven.

Cristina: And it just hangs there.

Jack: Yep.

Cristina: And then someone eventually will fall off.

Jack: The cliff or, I don't know, hang it with the chain.

Cristina: How does this cliff look like? Bulled. With coffins hanging from it. Decorated in coffins.

Jack: What, like a cliff?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You think they all go to a cliff?

Cristina: Well, the cliffs. If it's more than one, it's. I mean there's got to be a minimum. It can't be. Ridiculous. You think there's like countless of cliffs in this place?

Jack: No, I think they're not packed with bodies.

Cristina: Oh, you think one or two?

Jack: Yeah, it's probably bare minimum. Two or three per cliff.

Cristina: Okay, but like just one cliff with just one body. That's impossible. Everyone would want that be fighting for that cliff. Unless they want to be next to their family. Then there should be cliffs that are full of dead bodies.

Jack: Yeah, I guess. Now think about it. Bury everybody or not bury nobody's being buried around one another.

Cristina: Weird. Okay. I don't know if that's bad. It's interesting to look at, I guess.

Jack: Well, ready?

Cristina: This one. Very strange.

Jack: Yes. The Kvite people get stuffed into a hollow tree when they die. Usually one they picked while they were alive.

Cristina: Awesome.

Jack: You pick a tree, you're like, stuff me in that one.

Cristina: Oh, that's so good. That is fed to animals.

Jack: And that look, that one is a double edged sword. You don't want to be a visitor to this country and be like, I'm a wander woods because there's nothing else to do. Today I'm a tourist. Everybody is asleep because it's too early. But I'm a morning person and there's no way it's 6am the sun's out. I'm gonna go dig and I'm gonna go take a trip through the woods and. Oh, my God, somebody stuffed body into this tree. I gotta call authorities or something.

Cristina: Then the authorities probably have this happen a lot. There's probably signs everywhere that say don't look into those trees.

Jack: Or dead bodies in the trees are just a. Okay. Normal. Yes. Dead bodies in trees. If you're a tourist. Normal.

Cristina: Yep. You gotta warn the tourists. I guess.

Jack: So those are the different things we could do to 2022. A couple of them. There's probably way more.

Cristina: But there's probably way more.

Jack: Just some of them.

Cristina: Shoot, it's a space.

Jack: Just some of them. I think 2022 is too. Too bland.

Cristina: Too bland for that.

Jack: No, hang it off the top.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: So it would make sense to put it somewhere out of way. I vote for putting it on, you know, Tower of Silence. Put it up there, ignore the s***.

Cristina: Out of it while the birds eat it.

Jack: While the birds eat it. I like that one. Because if we wanted something to go through, like to cease existing, we would like Cremate 2020. You know, like, screw 2020, Cremate 2020. Or we would like. Oh, I guess these people are already dead. I guess I was going to be like, a way to kill people is old school firing line. But yeah, we're not talking about murder. We're talking about after you're already dead. What do we do with you? So what do you vote for?

Cristina: That's and for myself. Being stuffed into a tree.

Jack: You vote for which one?

Cristina: The Tower of Silence.

Jack: Oh, okay. And you want to be stuffed into a tree.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You want the tree to eat you?

Cristina: Yes. Or feed me to animals. That sounds pretty cool too.

Jack: Now you want to be fed to animals.

Cristina: Yeah. In the first place. You shop them up.

Jack: Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Give them to all the critters. They can come and eat you. Check us out. So now that we know what is it we're going to do, I figure we could figure out what is gonna happen to 2022 in the afterlife.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah. So when you die, some people believe it's not the end. More happens. And if you knew this, it's really strange. For absolutely no reason, with absolutely no proof that could exist that that could exist. Zero proof for this could ever exist. It's something literally untestable.

Cristina: But there's a million theories on it.

Jack: They are sure. They are sure that something happens after. There's no way to prove it.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: In fact, it's statistically more likely that nothing happens afterwards. Like just odds alone. Yeah, like infinity. To the one chance that something might happen afterwards.

Cristina: But if something did happen, what will it be?

Jack: I don't know. What do you think would be.

Cristina: We're choosing for the year.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: I don't know. Many ways. I don't know. Have the basic go to heaven or go to h***.

Jack: Sweet. Okay, so then I'll start with the simulation theory. That's the obvious one. Obviously it dies. Only to realize this is all a program. Duh. That's the best afterlife where you find out it was all a simulation and you were in the Matrix that dead you. Isn't this dead you? You have always just been plugged into a thing. You didn't die. Now we'll just restart the program. It's fine.

Cristina: Okay, it just restarts.

Jack: It could just be a video game and game over. I don't know. Yeah, it could. It's a simulation. What would you do with the simulation? Different than when he would do with the simulation. Point is, it's a simulation. I guess it could restart. You could have a simulation run on a. On a loop where after it hits a certain point, it just reboots over and over. That's a possibility, but I don't know. I just know that he dies in the sudden realization of, oh, oh, it was all a dream. I used to read Word up magazine.

Cristina: And then it continues living and then it dies. And then it wakes up and it's.

Jack: Like, oh, yeah, I guess.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It's weird, but a lot of beliefs are ultimately come down to the same thing.

Cristina: What? Yeah.

Jack: I mean, there's one of them in here that's like. That you believe. What was it that they believe? That you come to the realization that. Or Here we go. You are. That your consciousness is a part of the universe. The universe is a giant consciousness and you're a little part of it. When you die, you rejoin the bigger consciousness with the oh. And then you become an individual again and get that individual perspective until the day you die again and rejoin that giant bigger consciousness. So that's always getting that, oh, this is the reality going back in, oh, okay. That happens a lot.

Cristina: And like, different religions believe in that.

Jack: Yeah. In the whole kind of like realizing the. Oh, s***, here's a conclusion.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah. Now, basic beliefs are that. Not basic beliefs, but, you know, everybody's basic belief is heaven, h***, blah, blah, blah. No, the Rastafarians believe that life is actually eternal.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah. And righteous people can't die.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yes. And you die when you've walked off the path of righteousness. So they don't actually celebrate their funerals because they believe those people didn't deserve to be alive.

Cristina: Whoa. What. What happens to those dead people?

Jack: They. Nothing.

Cristina: Nothing.

Jack: They're just dead blackness once you die because you don't deserve to stay alive forever.

Cristina: But everyone else gets to live forever.

Jack: Well, not everyone forever.

Cristina: What? That's interesting. Yeah. What? I've never heard of that. They just live forever.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: And then what, though? Like, do they know anyone or do they have stories about this?

Jack: Probably everybody eventually succumbs to sin or whatever. Yes, it's very Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. Something very similar to that is the never ending life theory.

Cristina: That sounds very similar.

Jack: Yeah. So it basically believes that you are always alive and that when you die, you're immediately reborn into your life without any memory.

Cristina: Your life. Like you're just reliving your life or a different life? Does it matter?

Jack: I think this is similar to my belief, which is you die, you get blinked into an identical situation where you didn't die and you don't remember the previous situation where you just died. Oh, so it's seamless.

Cristina: Okay. You're not being reborn in this?

Jack: No. A second ago, a plane hit and we died.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But then I popped up here and I don't remember a plane hitting and me dying.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I just. This is happening then too.

Cristina: Yeah, but that's how they explained it.

Jack: That's essentially how they believe it. Well, so you're always just kind of. There's no end to life ever at all?

Cristina: No, just a life. Just not your life?

Jack: Pretty much, yeah. The end to a life, but not the end to your life. The cosmic theory is the one I was talking about earlier.

Cristina: Which one?

Jack: Where you become one with the universe and then your consciousness then comes back. That's a. There's a lot of repetition going on as well. A lot. A lot. A lot of repetition. The never the life is infinite theory or whatever, you know, that one falls in part with the parallel universes theory.

Cristina: What is that one?

Jack: Well, you. I guess it's the same exact logic almost. It's just thought of differently. As opposed to you simply existing, dying, blinking into existence elsewhere. And. And that being the only version that's currently happening. Because death never happened, you just kind of keep. Even if you die, you move on to the next moment that you didn't. So this is the same idea, but with, I guess, an added explanation as to how the h*** it's really Happening or partial explanation.

Cristina: What's that explanation? What?

Jack: Parallel universes.

Cristina: That's the explanation?

Jack: Yes. That's also the name of the theory. Because the point of the theory is the parallel universes. There are identical parallel universes, and somehow your energies are connected and when you die, you just get blinked into that other version.

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

Jack: Because science, scientifically speaking, it wouldn't work that way. Now, metaphysically, yeah, you could just die and warp forward into whatever the h*** current situation you were already in. Because you are all of the above simultaneously. Without metaphysics, that kind of parallel universe s*** doesn't check out. Because that should be a traversable distance. That means that in this. I don't like this one, because in theory, this just means I saw you die right now. And I have a rocket ship that's infinitely fast. I could just aim at the other universe, go there. It's identical. And it's the you from over here that's over there.

Cristina: What?

Jack: That wouldn't even make sense.

Jack: But that's a physical distance. Another, I traveled so far, I exited this universe and entered that universe and then saw you there.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: When you died over here.

Cristina: That doesn't sound right.

Jack: Yeah, I don't like that one. I don't like that one. An alternative to this one is again, this is so similar. They're all so similar, but so different. This one is again, also like the life never ends theory. But the idea here is if you were to die, you would simply be like, oh, it was a dream.

Cristina: I feel like so many of these feel like that.

Jack: Well, yeah, bunch of this. That's what I'm saying. They're all the same crap. That's kind of how I began this by telling you they're all so similar. Then I, before telling you about this one, I specifically said, I know.

Cristina: Still, it's kind of. It's pretty ridiculous how similar.

Jack: I mean, everybody's an idiot. This. The basic principle is, no, my religion is right. No, my religion is right. No, my religion is right. But they're all arguing the same thing.

Cristina: And so far, all these deaths are the same thing because they're probably based.

Jack: On the religions, you know, that's to say that science is also a religion.

Cristina: That's why so many of these. Sounds like some sciency nerd.

Jack: Yeah, but that's the dream theory. The dream theory is everything is a dream. Always. Forever.

Cristina: Forever.

Jack: Forever. And so if you died now, you would just wake up as an old lady. If you died as an Old lady. You'd wake up as a kid thinking, oh, a weird dream about being an old lady. If a bus hit you as a kid, you'd be like, oh, my God, I had a weirdest dream where I got hit where I was one, a kid, and two, I got hit by a car. And that could just happen infinitely.

Cristina: Yeah, I guess. Yeah.

Jack: All it would take is two dreams for you to exist in a dream inside of a dream, and everything that you got out of two would still be a dream. If you were having a dream right now, and in the dream you went to sleep and started to have a dream, it doesn't matter what happens beyond that point. If you were to come out of the second dream, you're still in the first dream and think that's reality because you saw yourself wake up.

Cristina: Oh, yeah, that's. That would be weird. I wonder. No. Could anyone even dream in a dream, though? Like, is that a thing?

Jack: It's probably half.

Jack: You probably had dreams in which you thought you were dreaming.

Cristina: That is strange. Yes.

Jack: Then you wake up in the dream and you're like, oh, wow, that was a crazy dream. Anyways, I'm a ride my dinosaur to school the way I normally do.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: You know, like, wow, man, that dream was crazy. I had when I was sleeping last night.

Cristina: Oh, really?

Jack: What happened? Well, I thought I was. I died. I thought I died. Anyways, it looks like your T. Rex is fighting my T. Rex. We should get outside and separate them.

Cristina: Yes, that sounds right.

Jack: You know, then there's Plato's theory. Plato believed that the physical world is actually just in our heads. Or not in our heads, but limited by our heads, if anything.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Limited by our heads. That when you die, all you're doing is liberating your mind. And your mind can truly be fulfilled with real knowledge and real information that the bodies are confining us.

Cristina: He thinks our mind keeps going.

Jack: He thinks.

Cristina: Yeah, like a soul.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like it goes on and doesn't have the restrictions and limits of the body.

Cristina: Interesting. I don't know. The mind goes. The mind is being stopped by the.

Jack: Body, like knowledge is being stopped by the body.

Cristina: And then you die. And then you're able to.

Jack: Yes, because the body only has a limited amount of ram. While in theory, the argument would be your metaphysical self has infinite potential.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That would be the solution to that problem. Then we have the nothingness theory, which obviously. Doll cuts.

Cristina: That's it.

Jack: Yeah. Now, the weirdest thing is people describe this as cutting the black, but that would be impossible. Because I would be seeing something cutting the black.

Cristina: That's what he said.

Jack: Cutting to black.

Cristina: Oh, cutting to black. Oh, okay.

Jack: Which would be impossible because that means you're seeing black. Which is impossible because you're dead and nothing exists, including black.

Cristina: Yes. Because you won't be. It's weird to explain. You wouldn't be sensing anything.

Jack: You wouldn't be sensing anything. That's the hardest part to try to tell somebody. Nothing is hard to explain.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like, we have a. Like everybody has a general loose idea. We can explain it in some figures, usually with, like, molds. Molds help. Let's say there are 10 bottles and 10 molds with which you made the bottle. And 10 bottle. Nine bottles are in the molds. One bottle isn't. You can see an empty mold. What's happening in that mold if the mold wasn't there? Is the nothingness. There's one less. Negative numbers are nothingness.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: You know, it's the lack of something. We can represent them, but it's impossible to visualize. Lack of something.

Cristina: Yeah, we can't imagine that. We can't.

Jack: But you can see something missing.

Cristina: You see something or see something.

Jack: Not somewhere. So that's a. That's as close as we can get to nothingness.

Cristina: Still nothing compared to whatever it is.

Jack: No, because we have no concept for it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Nothingness and absence aren't even close. It's just maybe the closest.

Cristina: Interesting. And a lot of people believe this then.

Jack: Or, I mean, if you're an atheist, you probably believe it.

Cristina: Oh. But they call it. What was it again? Call it cutting into the. When they cut the black, cut to blank. Black. Okay. Maybe cut to blank makes more sense.

Jack: Blank is still a thing.

Jack: It's blank. What do you think Mormons believe?

Cristina: They go to heaven.

Jack: You think they go to heaven?

Cristina: That's. I'm assuming that's what they think. Jesus is waiting there for them.

Jack: I feel like you know the answer and you forgot it.

Cristina: I probably. I probably forgot it because it's all gibberish.

Jack: You become a God when you die.

Cristina: I do not remember that. You become a God.

Jack: You become a God when you die.

Cristina: Yeah, that's the end of it.

Jack: When you're good and righteous as a Mormon or, you know, a Latter Day Saint believer follower, you become a God when you die. And non believers get condemned in the afterlife.

Cristina: What does that even mean? What do they think becoming a God is?

Jack: Ask a Mormon.

Cristina: Where can I find many places?

Jack: There's probably Mormons all over the place.

Cristina: Like, what the do they even have an idea of what becoming a. I feel like that's against believing in God in the first place. To say you become him.

Jack: Is it? The biblical text literally states that before the fruit was eaten, immortality, health, knowledge, just all the things you'd need to essentially be a God were just going to be given to you.

Cristina: But you wouldn't call that being a God. You can't do everything God is supposedly able to do.

Jack: Fair enough. They would be more like demigods.

Cristina: Yeah. At most maybe equal to angels. Maybe. Whatever they are.

Jack: It depends on an angel's reach. What's like a basic angel's capacity as compared to a human?

Cristina: Yeah. I don't even know if they can live forever or they just live a long, long time.

Jack: Longer than our understanding, but probably also expire at some point.

Cristina: No, they must live forever only because, like, why would they betray God and go to h*** to live there forever? Like, nah.

Jack: Unless h*** was funner. Like, what if h*** isn't that bad and heaven is just whack and we're over here like, oh, no.

Cristina: Heaven.

Jack: We must go to heaven. Everybody, the party's up there. Everybody wants to go to heaven. Meanwhile, it's like, real boring and like h***'s real exciting. And they, you know, the devil's. I mean, God's trying to not get. To get you to not go there because it's evil and it'll hurt and so hot. His heat is turned all the way up. But really, it's just like, nah, bro. I keep it at a nice, like 75 and we party all day long, like, yeah, I kind of want to go to h***, bro.

Cristina: You don't want to become a God with the Mormons.

Jack: God with the Mormons and just God.

Cristina: All day, I guess.

Jack: Got it. All day.

Cristina: God all day. That's crazy. That's what they believe. Oh, that's cool. Is anyone else believing they become God?

Jack: No, but there are a couple of different versions of immortality, including the Egyptians. That's why they begin. Well, this is a weird one. So we know that they mummify. They're dead. Wrap them up. Do you know why they do it?

Cristina: Not the mumming up, no.

Jack: Okay. The. Do you know why they're buried with their s***?

Cristina: They do get. I know they get tested with, I think, their heart or their brain or something on the scales.

Jack: The Egyptians, Yeah.

Cristina: That's not them. Were they? If it's lighter than a feather, then they. They were a good person or something.

Jack: That is.

Cristina: That's not it. I don't know. Sounds okay. Far off.

Jack: Okay, this is judgment.

Cristina: That's for death.

Jack: Yeah, but where your soul is being delivered. Interesting point that you'd bring that up. Because now we have a conflict of interest. Because what I'm about to tell you and what you've just told me are both things I know are true of the same people.

Cristina: Okay, so there's multiple things happening.

Jack: It's really conflicting. I don't know why I didn't remember the one you've just mentioned. That's not what happens in the afterlife. Yes, it happened. I mean, it happens after you die, but that's not the conclusion of the afterlife. Ultimately, you have to go to heaven or h***, which is what that scaling system is deciding or their equivalent of. Yeah, but it's messed up and weird because I guess. I guess you would need to be murdered or. I don't even know. Okay, so the idea is that mummification of being buried with all your crap is essentially because that same body needs to be preserved. Because that's where you're coming back to life. And, yeah, we're just going to put you down here where you're safe. Away from light, away from air. We're going to seal this after we seal you, so we're going to seal you up with all your s***, and we're going to seal this place. There's no air to rot your body and leave it there. One day, you're going to come back to life and all your stuff, your wi. Your stuff and junk. Here's three different problems I have. Problem number one. Yeah, they do get weighed. I don't know why I didn't remember that and how this works. So I'm assuming there has to be an actual way you can die that your body cannot be returned to, and then they believe that happens? That's my assumption.

Cristina: No, But I think they rip those. They take those things out. They have, like, machines, specific tools that they suck out of your nose or some weird thing of, like. I don't know if it's the brain or the heart. They do stuff. When they're mummifying you, they take those things out.

Jack: Is it Egyptians?

Cristina: I think so.

Jack: Or is it a different group of people who mummified people? None of this matters, okay? Because there's one thing we have to consider. And now it's haunting me. As I've talked about this out loud, let's say they're right and you are gonna come back life in that body.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Let's play this out real quick. Let's Just. Just in theory. Just in theory play out. What's gonna happen? You're just. You start seeing dark. Suddenly you're like, I was hanging out with my wife, and suddenly everything goes to black. Don't know what happened. All I remember is I was on the camel and I fell back and I'm pretty sure the camel was about to step on my head by accident. Don't remember happening. I just remember falling off the camel and now everything's black. Maybe it did step on me and I passed out for a short while. But why is everything so black? Am I in a coma? I can't move. It feels really tight. Oh, my God. I can't open my mouth. I can't. I can't move my body. No, it feels real stiff. Am I sitting? Where am I? Where am I? Oh, my God. I'm mummified. Okay, whatever. So you get through that idea and you're panicking because, hey, it worked out. But, oh, my God, I'm wrapped up and I think I'm suffocating, so I'm probably gonna die again. But no, you manage to move your arm just enough and tear a couple of things and then rip a hole through your mouth. And. Okay, you still can't see, but slowly you pick off all the things. And now you're in a tomb where nobody can hear you see you. The only air that's there has been there for God knows how long. And that's the only air you're gonna have. No food, no nut. This is a nightmare. If it was real.

Cristina: Yes. I don't know. Maybe they were thinking, like, the people that freeze themselves. Like, it's.

Jack: Eventually we'll be able to.

Cristina: It's gonna be there. The science will figure things out.

Jack: Dude, let's hope that was the idea behind it. Because if their idea behind it is no, they'll come back one day.

Cristina: They must think some. Like, when they come back, some, they're gonna be in better bodies or something.

Jack: No, they're gonna be in that body. That's the point of preserving the body.

Cristina: They preserve it so badly and they rip things out of it. Like, that doesn't make sense.

Jack: I don't think it's the same people.

Cristina: You don't think it's the same people?

Jack: It would defeat the purpose to rip your heart out and be like, yeah, you're coming back. You know, that doesn't work out. There must be a group of people who are just mummifying them. Probably Egyptian in a different group of Egyptians who are ripping hearts out or Whatever.

Cristina: Okay. Or maybe the God that does that doesn't actually do, like their. Their hearts and stuff is still in them. The God that's doing this isn't really doing this physically. Like they're not doing. Because it's a God that's weighing the stuff so they don't have to physically weigh anything.

Jack: If this interesting. But you're not dead. When you're mummified, you're not dead. Oh, you must die a different way. Because, yes, you're dead, but you're coming back.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Nothing could be done to this body. There must be a different type of process that then leads to the investigation by the gods.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Also, they're demigods themselves because they don't know.

Cristina: Yes. So weird. That's horrifying. I don't really want to be a mummy.

Jack: Neither would I. It's a freaking nightmare. To wake up in a h*** prison.

Cristina: Yeah. That's just crazy. That's just crazy. Like you got to be super strong or something. Right? Like, how do they expect them. I expect them to do.

Jack: To stay there and die again. It's like, hey, man, all your stuff is here. Don't come out. Yes, you're dead. You're zombie now. If you come back, stay there. We don't want no zombies walking around.

Cristina: That makes sense, I guess.

Jack: And we're gonna extra wrap you just in case so that you. After we throw you in this hole, nobody can get out of. You're also in a wrapped. Is probably difficult to get out of. So you're in a coffin. In a coffin. In a coffin. And that's without mentioning the fact that some people are mummied. Put in a box and then put in a tomb.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So they're making sure you don't get out. You. Oh, my God. This just got worse because you're. You somehow you wake up, you're going through that whole nightmare and somehow managed to rip a hole in your mouth. Breathe and slowly take off everything. But you're still in a box that you don't even realize is a box. What the h***?

Cristina: You scream for help with the little.

Jack: Air you can get.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Nothing. You need the strength to break it open after it's been bolted shut.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Somehow got it open. How you gonna rip a giant rock the size of a building out of the front of the tomb they put you in. I don't know. You just die in there again. It's fine. If you did come back, you're not living long.

Cristina: And they must be preparing for zombies.

Jack: Put them all In a tomb together and then put them up when they in that tomb, Wrap them all and put them all in coffins and then close the tomb and keep their stuff.

Cristina: With them so they can enjoy themselves. Because we still love them, I guess. Yeah, yeah.

Jack: Just in case. Zombies aren't real. They got some stuff before they die again. But no zombies out here. No Egyptians knew.

Cristina: They knew. Also.

Jack: Also, let's applaud Egyptians real quick for being the goths of culture.

Cristina: How so?

Jack: They kind of are. Right. They've always been pretty goth with the eyeliner going on. And they're always, like, with death and a bunch of other weird things. And they love cats. Like, it's like, cats are so goth. Yeah, it's so goth. So goth.

Cristina: So goth with zombies now. What?

Jack: Yeah, cats and zombies. Very Egyptian, apparently.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Now the next thing is a pretty standard and probably the most common one. The paranormal theory. Yep. The theory that ghosts get stuck out here.

Cristina: That's it. Ghost.

Jack: Yes. Yes. Ghosts get stuck and there's ways to communicate with them and things that could be done, but essentially you're just roaming out here among the living with the rest of the dead that can see the other deads, but you can kick.

Cristina: Them out of your home.

Jack: There's a bunch of different ways to interact with them because they are still part of the living world. They themselves are just dead.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And part of the dead world simultaneously. Because the dead world touches both, but the living only touches one.

Cristina: Okay. So you can't get rid of them or you can.

Jack: Not from Earth.

Cristina: Not from Earth.

Jack: You can't extinguish them. Yeah. You probably move them somewhere else.

Jack: Interesting enough, that goes along with a different ideology, different belief, one that goes hand in hand with Christianity, actually, because Christianity says Earth will be h*** at some point. And this is called the pessimist theory, which assumes that we have all ready. Died.

Cristina: What?

Jack: We're already dead. This is the afterlife. So if you have it good, you lived a great life and did things good, and if you have it crappy, you were a s***** person.

Cristina: Oh, that's a Christian thing.

Jack: No, the idea that Earth will be h*** or the afterlife is Earth at some point. And the pessimist theory is this is the afterlife. So those two ideas cross at that point.

Cristina: Okay, yeah.

Jack: Not to say this is h***, but this is the afterlife is the idea of a pessimist. We've already died. We're just wherever we go after we die.

Cristina: Yeah. I wonder what that place. Do they have any ideas of what that place was?

Jack: Of where we were alive. Yeah, Not a clue. Does who like a specific person who mentioned this one time?

Cristina: It's not a belief that they have like pessimists, I guess. I don't know, whatever. It's a religion or whatever.

Jack: No, pessimism is just a negative person who believes nothing matters and everything is dead.

Cristina: And everything is dead.

Jack: Everything is dead.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The typical Hindu belief of reincarnation. But this one is interesting because the Hindus believe in class based reincarnation. So how you performed in life chooses your status in the next life. The better you do, the higher up you go. Until you free yourself from the system by making it to the top or.

Cristina: Whatever the top like says, being super rich. What's the top?

Jack: Living the best life, I guess. Happiest, most fulfilled life. And you don't become rich. You exit the reincarnation cycle. That's the goal. You're trapped here until you figure it out.

Cristina: And then you stay as the God that all the consciousness are.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. I guess you joined the bigger thing, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Boring Christian. Heaven and h*** and. Oh, egocentrism. You're the only thing that exists. Also known as solipsism.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The universe starts with you and ends with you. It is entirely processed inside of your mind. There is nothing else anywhere else. You've generated anything, everything, anyone and everyone that's ever existed and you've ever met.

Cristina: I feel like I'm very. Or most people are very boring. Very boring people. Like this is the best we got. Or I got. This is the best I got with my imagination. Is that it?

Jack: Yeah, I guess.

Cristina: Made all of this up.

Jack: But you're also every part of this.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So you think this is the best you got, but you're also the richest human who has ever existed.

Cristina: How?

Jack: Because everyone is in your head. There's nothing. Oh, there's not even a head or body. Your body's inside your head.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: There's only mentalism. First principle of the hermetic principles, I guess. First rule of hermetic principles. How do you say that? It's a first thing on the hermetic principles. Whatever.

Cristina: First thing.

Jack: Yeah, the first principle, mentalism. It's all in your head. Your body in your head, the people in your head. Everything's in your head. So what do you think about what people think about?

Cristina: What people think about?

Jack: What do you think about what people think about?

Cristina: I think they're not creative enough.

Jack: What would you make the afterlife?

Cristina: I don't know. Probably the spaghetti monster one.

Jack: I was thinking the same thing that bowl in the sky. The spaghetti bowl in the sky. I don't know why that wasn't here, but it made sense. That's something people. The problem is I don't think people believe it.

Cristina: Oh. But it's the most creative. If people did believe it.

Jack: The pasta bowl. And he'll use his noodle y appendages to hug you.

Cristina: And there's beer and women, I think is part of the deal.

Jack: Yeah. In the pasta bowl.

Cristina: Yeah. And if you go to h***, I think it's the same thing. But your pasta's cold. I don't know.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Some ridiculous thing, but yeah.

Jack: So that's pretty much it. So we're going to. What the. What are we going to do?

Cristina: We're going to send 2022. Oh, no.

Jack: We're going to put 2022 on top of the Tower of Silence. And what do we believe? Is this going to be born again?

Cristina: It's just going to be born again. That's the only conclusion?

Jack: Yeah. It's just going to snap back to reality somewhere else. We're sending 2022 to someone else. Some other universe that isn't here.

Cristina: It's going to wake up and be 2023.

Jack: No, because then it would have just aged.

Cristina: No. What?

Jack: It would have just aged into 2023.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Two different entities. They could exist next to each other. You could stare at them on a calendar next to one another.

Cristina: Yes. Okay.

Jack: Think about it. Think about it.

Cristina: So you're doing what to it?

Jack: I'm putting it on top of the Tower of Silence and it's going to be reincarnated or not reincarnated.

Cristina: Just going to snap back into life as 2022, though. Yeah, just somewhere else.

Jack: Just somewhere else where 2022 went well. And didn't die.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: It's gonna snap into the version where 2022 has 366 days.

Cristina: Oh, that's very. But if it's. Is it on its last day, though, or it starts from the top?

Jack: No. It's gonna be on its last day forever because it dies that day two. But then it goes into the one this probably happened. Think about it. Infinite possibilities. You died because the plane hit, but you snap back into the situation where it didn't. Tomorrow you're walking down the street and you get hit by car. We snapped into version that didn't. You're probably dying every day. Every couple of days. We're probably dying all freaking time.

Cristina: That reminds me of Russian Doll, where the lady dies over and over again.

Jack: It's probably happening.

Cristina: It's probably happening.

Jack: Minus the memory.

Cristina: Yes, I guess that's what's happening with her. But yeah, minus the memory.

Jack: Minus the memory. Okay, anyways, anyways. Anyways, anyways. That is basically what happened. 22. It's dead.

Cristina: That's what happened.

Jack: It's 2023. We're over it.

Cristina: We're over it. I'm over it.

Jack: Added little sauce on top. El dia de los muertos is when you celebrate the dead, but not sad. You celebrate it happy.

Cristina: But you're not bringing them out.

Jack: No, no. You're celebrating to them.

Cristina: And I think in memory of.

Jack: In memory of.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And I think 2022, nowhere near as bad as 2020, so I think it should be celebrated as an upturn from that point.

Cristina: How do you feel about 2021 insurrection? Is that better or worse?

Jack: Was that 2021 or was that 22? 2020. It was some point. No, it was 2021. Right. Because Trump got elected on 2020, which means the insurrection followed him, not wanting to give the post. So yeah, 2021. Last year.

Cristina: 2021. Yeah.

Jack: Anyways, anyways, there's a bunch of episodes on death. I think there's three or four actually different topics related to death. Actually there's questions about death. There is us just talking about death in different contexts. There's a bunch of episodes you guys can look at about death and year end wrap ups as well. Not just us counting where the clock is for the world. Dominar in a million different things for last week's episode, but how other people.

Cristina: Celebrate their new year. Do we have an episode like that? I feel like we do, probably.

Jack: But I believe last year's was just the wrap up actually reviewing. Or maybe that's what we did last year. And then two years ago we were kind of counting on the 2020. No, actually I think we did wrap up both years.

Cristina: I think we did wrap up on both years.

Jack: Yeah. This is the only year without excitement.

Cristina: Yes. So that's a good year, I guess.

Jack: Yeah. Because all the. We only did it because of how much horrible crap happened altogether. Yeah, there's not enough horrible crap this time.

Cristina: There's some crap, but not that bad.

Jack: Not a lot. I'd say it's a pretty good year considering where years have gone lately.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So anyways, so you guys can find us on all our socials at just Convopod, which might change in the future so that the rambling podcast could have its own. But who knows? We'll figure it out as we move forward. But just Convope pod that's on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, wherever. Just type it.

Cristina: I remember to subscribe and review the show.

Jack: Yes. Leave us some reviews, please, and let.

Cristina: Someone who might like this show know.

Jack: About it, because word of mouth kicks a**. And I'm sure you know people who care about death and. Or want to die and. Or know somebody who died or plan to make somebody dead. So in any of those scenarios, how.

Cristina: To get buried or something.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, that works too. Way less morbid than all my options. So somebody who just wants to figure out how they're gonna get buried when they die eventually, as opposed to somebody who just wants to blow their mind. Brains are right now. But regardless of how. Which one of these people you know, this episode is useful because it'll teach them. One, what people do with the dead. And two, of people where they think their victim is gonna go.

Cristina: Where their victim is gonna go, or.

Jack: Where they think they're gonna go when they get murdered.

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

Jack: I guess if you're. I guess there's a. Probably a little of everything. Most of people listen to, like, like, these story podcasts. Think of, like. Yeah, it's almost like an audiobook. Think of like the left right game, right? Like, is it relaxing or is it entertaining?

Cristina: Extremely entertaining.

Jack: Yeah. Like, it's not. I wouldn't say it's relaxing. You sit back and you're like, oh, I'm so relaxed.

Cristina: But what podcast would give you an. What was it? I can't remember.

Jack: Anxiety.

Cristina: Anxiety? No. Was that the word?

Jack: No.

Cristina: Intense.

Jack: Yeah. An intense experience.

Cristina: An intense experience. Listening to a story would make you intense?

Jack: I have no idea. I. You know, people say all the time that they've had like a. Oh, I read the book and it made me cry. Okay. That was an intense experience.

Cristina: I guess. That is intense. It's making you cry.

Jack: Like, whoa, whoa, whoa. You cried reading a book. Whoa. I wish I had that much fun reading a book. Yeah, I love reading books, but I don't feel like I've ever had that experience.

Cristina: No, but even, like, watching shows, you don't get that experience.

Jack: No, I don't feel like I connected anything with anything that way, like that I feel genuine or. Fair enough. I'll never forget this one book, Deep, dark and dangerous, long, long time ago, about a ghost girl. And that ghost girl used to p*** me off while I was reading that book.

Cristina: Right.

Jack: When I was a kid.

Cristina: That made you feel something.

Jack: It made me feel anger.

Cristina: Anger. Okay.

Jack: Which I suppose was intense.

Cristina: Okay, so there was something. Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynne Taylor and published by great dots.info art by 0lupo and logo by Seth McAllister, with social media managed by Amber Black.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: Welcome to the Rambling Podcast, the show where we've got humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. I am Jack.

Cristina: And I am Christina.

Jack: And we're your glorious hosts. And we're gonna host a lovely show for tonight. Earned this after. I love when people say that. We got a great show for you tonight. It's like, we got it. We gotta show. Whether it's great or not is up to you to decide. I'm not choosing if it's great or.

Cristina: Not for you, and you're not choosing whether it's night or not.

Jack: I'm not choosing what time of day you decided to consume this, bro. But like, I guess in the past, people used to control that part of our lives. Yeah, it's like, if you want to watch my f****** show, you tune in whenever the. I said you.

Cristina: Except you don't choose that either. The person saying that isn't choosing the time his show is on.

Jack: No, he's just like, I got the best offer by the station. Yeah, I'm gonna take it. No way. There's no way. So today is an amazing day because today we are. You know what we're doing today?

Cristina: Talking about what happened on Christmas.

Jack: Yes. But what is today?

Cristina: New Year's? Is it New Year's Eve?

Jack: New Year's Eve. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.

Cristina: What?

Jack: So we got some exciting stuff to talk about. But before we get to that exciting stuff, we got math, by the way. It's very exciting.

Cristina: We have math. That does not sound exciting.

Jack: Numbers. Everybody loves numbers.

Cristina: Love it.

Jack: But before we get to this exciting numbers, we do have to talk about what happened with our plan to catch Santa Claus clause. So let's recap the extent of everything we decided this Christmas. What we wanted for Christmas was Santa Claus. So we'll know. Listen to me.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: Is Santa Claus. So we decide we're gonna wish, like, he's a genie for a present, which is Jesus cryogenically frozen Jesus Christ, which isn't a thing, but okay. It's okay. We have time. We send Santa the letter. We then dust off our time machine and we go to the past and we wait for the crucifixion. When he's crucified, we take him off the cross and we cryogenically put him in stasis and leave him where he was already going to be. Then we close the cave. Santa then finds Jesus and brings him. He finds him in the present, because we asked for the present. And then he brings Jesus cryogenically in stasis to us. And with this, we have now brought both Jesus, which we could have kept before, and Santa to us. Except the biggest hole of all in this plan is that everything in the present. Santa Claus knows, because that's like his big overpowered trick.

Cristina: He knew we were being naughty.

Jack: He knew we made this plan because duh. And he knows we went to the past and he saw us do everything with Jesus. Then he saw us disappear and reappear. Now he has perfect memory of that entire time having happened. And then he sees us make the wish. So from. For him, he. He remembers all of this already. He's like, oh, yeah, those people who put him in the thing. You can wish for him.

Cristina: We can actually do that part at least.

Jack: What? Bring him?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Yes. We have Jesus.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We have no Santa.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: We have no Santa. There's no way to catch him, because he knew. He knew all along, of course.

Cristina: His parents were good enough for him to bring Jesus to us, but not good enough for him to stick around.

Jack: We're good to the world. We are important to the world.

Cristina: But then why didn't he want to stay around so we can catch him?

Jack: He doesn't want to be caught.

Cristina: Well, maybe not catch. He could have had a conversation.

Jack: Look, this show is so easy for him to just, like, sidestep that he sees us the way he sees everybody else. He's just measuring us by those same metrics, I suppose.

Cristina: But he still gave us Jesus.

Jack: Yes. He's not saying we're bad. Why? Because you're trying to catch him? It's not bad.

Cristina: It's not good.

Jack: That's neutral. It's not gonna, like, tip anything in any direction.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: He thinks giving us Jesus was a good idea.

Jack: I don't think.

Cristina: He doesn't care.

Jack: Why would he care? It's just wasted time, you know?

Cristina: Well, whatever.

Jack: We got Jesus, we have Jesus. That's great. We can at least study him. That's fascinating, except that we got to.

Cristina: Travel to the future to get him and frozen.

Jack: Yeah, we. We still successfully put him in cryostasis and have not.

Cristina: He has to stay there.

Jack: Yeah, so we don't really have Jesus. We. We have him, but there's nothing we could do do without the potential of killing him in the process.

Cristina: Yep. So we gotta do something about that. We're not done.

Jack: We're not done. We created a problem that we need to solve, and we don't have the Result of why we created the problem.

Cristina: But then, like, okay, now I'm not really sure what to do with Jesus, because in the future, we know cat people have taken over, so even if they have the technology to unfreeze Jesus, why would they do that?

Jack: I totally brought this up before.

Cristina: You did.

Jack: I did. I totally did. I'm like, why would they help us?

Cristina: Huh?

Jack: What, did they catch us?

Cristina: What if they cut? Exactly. Oh, crap.

Jack: But, like, also, I had a plan.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: We don't actually know if the future is still the same.

Cristina: But what do we do if it is?

Jack: Come back, scoop out the place, obviously.

Cristina: Yeah, but like, then we just have.

Jack: I mean, you and I haven't used the time machine other than for Jesus.

Jack: And we haven't gone forward other than to now from where we went back to.

Cristina: Yeah, so. But if we go to the future, I mean, I guess then we'd have to wait until we solve the cat thing to take Jesus to the future anyway.

Jack: What if we find out that we don't solve the cat thing?

Cristina: I don't know. We just keep Jesus the way he has. He's just a trophy.

Jack: And then never go to the future.

Cristina: No, we still go to the future to see. But if it's not.

Jack: If it's overtaken by cat people.

Cristina: Yeah, we do nothing. We can't do anything.

Jack: Except we can't be seen there either.

Cristina: Yeah, we're not going ourselves. We have people for that.

Jack: You're right. But they can't come back and report anything if they get caught. Still look human.

Cristina: We give it a time. Like, okay, if you're not back in an hour, we know you've been captured. Then we give them those pills that they fight into and kill themselves. Also.

Jack: This is crazy. No, because with a time machine, until we could choose when you come back to any time travel that doesn't feel instant to the waiting party is f****** bullshit. Right? That's a lie. It's stupid. It's like I'm a. I'm a. I have a time machine, right? I have a time machine and I'm gonna go back in time 10 days. But is it just I got to choose the amount of time in some dial that I just increase or reduce. I can't type in days. And if I did type in days at exactly 24, I can never break a day in half. No, I should be able to choose any time. You know how far back based on our own metrics. We design the metrics so time machine should be able to navigate backwards in time. Evenly. So I tell it I want to go back, you know, three days and I go back and from back there I decide, okay, I'm gonna go forward. When you can go forward. Are you? No. Because you chose time going backwards. So you should in theory be able to choose time going forward. It's not just a unanimous. I had to only put days. So I moved exactly 48 hours backwards or 72 hours backwards.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So I have to move. It only moves in these increments. So I have to move seven days. So if I took three days over here, then when I go over here, it's been three days. No, that doesn't make any sense. I should be able to pick the moment.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Why wouldn't I just pick the moment I left like a second later?

Cristina: Yeah. It should be like, that's how we know something went wrong. If they disappear and that's it.

Jack: No, I know, it's 100%. If they don't show up instantly, we know something. My question is, in every thing all media ever created about time travel, why are people waiting for the person that left?

Cristina: Because the person doesn't know the exact time to return. I don't know. The person decides to be dramatic and like, I want to return five minutes.

Jack: After the moment, but it'll be like days or some s***, a couple of hours or something. And it's like, what, dude?

Cristina: Maybe they got the map wrong. Maybe there's some math involved to do it correct and they just got it wrong. Days, that's crazy. If it's like a few minutes, it's like on purpose. I think that's on purpose. You're just being mean.

Jack: If it's day, if it's minutes.

Cristina: Yeah. You're just like, I want them to believe I'm dead. I'm not dead. Hahaha. No.

Jack: Yeah. Because if they're not instantly back, you're like, what the f***?

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah. In the time machine, I think it was like that though. Whenever he went back, it was instant and he would just go tell everyone, this is what I did. Hahaha. And look at my. Listen to my adventures and whatever.

Jack: But there's no way they could believe.

Cristina: Him until he never comes back. I don't think he goes back.

Jack: No. He just gets lost forever.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah. So eventually they just. That's it, that's the end of his story. I guess for them they have to believe him. Or I guess they could have think he killed himself. He went crazy after his wife died and killed himself.

Jack: To be fair, he did go crazy. After his wife died. That is essentially what the story is about.

Cristina: Yes. And that's what they must believe. What else would you believe? Unless you believe his stories of the time traveling.

Jack: Which way? Crazy.

Cristina: Yes. You know, they have the machine. It seems like, I guess it's too complicated for anyone to work it out. Like it just looks like trash to them. And they're like, yeah, he totally just killed him. So this is garbage. What is this thing? Because they have the time machine right there. Like if they were curious enough. Yeah, you think? Doesn't he have an assistant? Why didn't he learn how to use it?

Jack: Interesting point.

Cristina: Maybe he did kill himself. Okay, the time machine is a lie. It's just trashing himself. It was art.

Jack: There's an assistant who just doesn't know anything. Suddenly the assistant killed him.

Cristina: The assistant killed him? Yes. He saw he was going crazy and felt bad.

Jack: And maybe he felt in danger. Maybe he was next in line to have all the stuff because he, you know.

Cristina: Yeah, but if he believes him, why, like, why wouldn't he use it? He should have also. He should have been the next person to disappear.

Jack: I bet that's the thing. I bet the time machine creator's apprentice is a story.

Cristina: Oh, maybe I'm not gonna look it.

Jack: Up, but yeah, who gives a s***? It's totally a thing.

Cristina: It's not important.

Jack: Yeah, and if not, somebody better make that thing. The Time Machine Inventor's Apprentice. There's so many things. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Cristina: How is that anything?

Jack: Blob at the top of the hill. Like all these dumb names, very long title descriptions. Yeah, it's like totally a description for the most part. Like a weird almost.

Cristina: How do you know this main character is important? Imagine if she didn't have a dragon tattoo.

Jack: That name would make would be cooler at that point. Cuz it'd be like, I wonder, what's the dragon tattoo? I wonder what's with the name.

Cristina: Wait, if it was still called the.

Jack: Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, there'd be so much intrigue about looking for the dragon tattoo.

Cristina: That's never mentioned at all.

Jack: Never mentioned.

Cristina: But then would you assume the main character has it even though no one has ever said anything?

Jack: You could. That's it. That's fat.

Cristina: Unless they say. Unless someone points out, like, and she doesn't have tattoos. Because then you know, oh, okay, this girl doesn't have tattoos. So why is this title called that?

Jack: Yeah, no, that's a valid point. Like, look, I. I think it would think about. We haven't even Seen this? Think about how interesting. Have you seen this?

Cristina: I don't remember. I might have. I don't remember.

Jack: Well, I haven't seen it and like, you don't even remember it. I haven't seen it. But think about how much more interesting this already is we're talking about. Like, is who. Who has it? Then who has the tattoo? Why is the name the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? She's not the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Did she meet a girl who has a dragon tattoo?

Cristina: I know she's reading a book and the book is called A Girl Dragon Tattoo. Oh, what a corny. I don't know.

Jack: Fascinating, right?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: I think. No, that's the way to go.

Cristina: That's the way to go.

Jack: It's like the briefcase in Pulp Fiction. That makes it interesting. Now you're wondering, but it's not called.

Cristina: A briefcase in Pulp Fiction.

Jack: First, if it was called a briefcase in Pulp Fiction, my biggest question would be, what the f*** is Pulp Fiction? Are they in Pulp Fiction? Is that the name of this town or location we are. Are they in Pulp Fiction?

Cristina: I think they're in Pulp Fiction.

Jack: Briefcase in. Is is their situation called Pulp Fiction?

Cristina: What does Pulp Fiction mean?

Jack: I don't know, dude.

Cristina: There's a type of. I thought that was a genre or something. It sounds like one.

Jack: It.

Cristina: It could because it's fiction, but I don't know what the pulp.

Jack: It's thick fiction. It's a pulpy. Like if you had orange. Fresh squeezed juice. You can have somebody strain your fresh squeezed orange juice and it's just fresh squeezed orange juice. Or you could have it squeezed but not strained so that it's pulpy orange juice with chunks of the orange.

Cristina: Have you actually seen Pulp Fiction?

Jack: I've seen Pulp Fiction.

Cristina: Do you know what it's about?

Jack: I don't remember.

Cristina: You just know there's a briefcase?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Does anyone say Pulp Fiction?

Jack: I doubt anybody says Pulp Fiction. The main character's name is Pulp Fiction.

Cristina: His name is Pulp Fiction.

Jack: First name Pulp. Last name Fiction.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: No, look, because it would be a briefcase in Pulp Fiction. That. No, it doesn't work.

Cristina: Why not? What if there is a beer briefcase inside him and you don't even know?

Jack: So we're not even. We're thinking about the wrong briefcase.

Cristina: Exactly. Yes.

Jack: It's like the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. We don't actually see what's being mentioned even if we think it is.

Cristina: Maybe she has it in her mouth and then you see it every time she talks.

Jack: Then she Does a little hiss every time. But what does pulp Fiction mean?

Cristina: I don't know. It means something.

Jack: I don't know. I'm sure I think you're kind of right. All things considered, it probably means something like juicy fiction, thick fic fiction.

Cristina: Pulp fiction are books about imaginary characters and events produced in large qualities, quantities and intended to be read by many people, but are not considered to be very good quality. And there's like, examples, but the only one I can send that sounds familiar is the Da Vinci Code.

Jack: What was the description again?

Cristina: It is about imaginary characters and events produced in large quantities and intended to be read by many people, but are considered to be very. Not considered to be very good quality.

Jack: So they're just intentionally, like mediocre books that are essentially just kind of pass the time.

Cristina: Yes. So I guess. I guess, like, there's nothing amazing about this fiction, but everyone's reading it for some reason.

Jack: Interesting. Interesting.

Cristina: Wonder if Twilight counts as pulp fiction. No. Unless it has to be imaginary characters and events. I don't know. I don't know.

Jack: I think. I think that works. I think Twilight is definitely in there, but. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. So it is New Year's. We failed to catch in Santa. We got ourselves a Jesus we could do nothing with because we'll kill him if we try to do him or whatever. Uncryo him.

Cristina: Cryo.

Jack: And it's the end of the year and I just. I was looking for. I'm like, hey, cool, you know, we can't do anything with this Jesus guy. This plan failed. We. Not any closer. Talking to the cloud people. Steve's still out there learning how to communicate with clouds, which I guess has a beaver or whatever, the groundhog, because as a groundhog is not like the easiest thing to do.

Cristina: Oh, he's a groundhog.

Jack: Yeah. So there's a lot of obstacles in the way. And I'm like, we got nothing to do, nothing to review. I mean, there's a bunch of cases we could probably look into, but same s*** all the time.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So I'm like, alright, what's the worst thing that has ever happened on New Year's?

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: In looking for that, I stumbled upon something that I thought was about as cool. And so I shelved the other idea about what the craziest thing or the worst thing that happened on New Year's is. I somehow landed at a counter for all the data that matters in the world.

Cristina: A counter?

Jack: Yes. And it could bring it up to the day. It could bring it up to the day. For the whole year so we can find out what this year has been about in numbers.

Cristina: Numbers. I needed you to explain it exactly.

Jack: I'll explain.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: For example, this year our total world population has actually tipped into the 8 billions. This shows us that the population is at 8 billion.

Cristina: 8 billion. Is that the highest it's been 8 billion?

Jack: 8,193,710, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16.

Cristina: What?

Jack: It's going up?

Cristina: Oh, it's going up?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay. Those are just people being born. Or that's people alive.

Jack: Current people living.

Cristina: Current people living. Oh, so shouldn't it be going down too?

Jack: Well, yeah, sometimes it gets stuck. There's more people being born than there are people dying.

Cristina: Okay. So that number is always increasing, the numbers always going. And there's other numbers that are going up and down too.

Jack: There are many numbers, yes.

Cristina: What are some other facts about this year?

Jack: Well, we're gonna go through this entire list of which there are quite a bit of a few numbers. And I want you to see how this is going. Okay, so here we are looking at the current world population.

Cristina: What's all that info?

Jack: This is just data about it.

Cristina: And that's just of things of this year. That information.

Jack: No, this information is giving you general information about the population in general.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: At the moment it's 8 billion. And it's going to reach 9 billion by 2037 and 10 billion by 2058.

Cristina: Ridiculous.

Jack: Is doubled in the last 40 years.

Cristina: That is too many people. Whoa.

Jack: Currently 2022 growing at a rate of around 0.84% per year, adding 67 million people per year to the total.

Cristina: Whoa, whoa.

Jack: Growth rate reached its peak in the late 1960s when it was about 2.09.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. What happened? That's ridiculous. 0.40 something right? Right now. And now that's 2.09.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was huge. It was zero. It was 0.8 4.84.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: It was.04 before and now. Oh, no, that's what you. That's what it is currently says 0.84 at the moment. And it was 2.09. Yeah.

Cristina: Everyone was having a child. Whoa.

Jack: Children everywhere. Children everywhere. Births this year alone, 133 million.

Cristina: That's crazy. I think I know, like three babies that were born this year. Something like that. I'm not sure. But that number keeps growing. Does it have info on that too? Like what's averagely every year or anything.

Jack: Telling us where it began?

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Then There have been 300,000 births today.

Cristina: Today. That's crazy.

Jack: But this year there have been 66 million deaths.

Cristina: When you're looking at the billion is like, how much is that? Was the percentage of deaths way insignificant to like the current of population? Like deaths? Wow.

Jack: Yep. It's way less than you think. As for the total.

Cristina: Yeah. What deaths this year? Just 66 million deaths today?

Jack: 150,000.

Cristina: Wow. 150,000. But that's way closer to the birth rate than the deaths of this year. Compared to the population.

Jack: No, to the population of all time. But if you look at like births this year versus.

Cristina: Comparing to deaths this year.

Jack: Is 1/3 of all births the same way. Same way today is one third of all. Actually, it's one half. Today is a particularly death filled day.

Cristina: Oh, well, that's not good. Okay. Today's not a good day.

Jack: It's not a good day. New Year's is when lives are lost, Right?

Cristina: What is happening? Oh, my gosh. So many numbers just going crazy.

Jack: So net population. By the way, this. The Worldometer is the name of this site. Worldometer.info for anybody interested. But we go into the net population growth. This is the total gain or loss.

Cristina: Talking about money?

Jack: No. Of people. So this is the. How many people have we gained without counting the people we've lost?

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And so this year the total has been a gain of 66 million. You can see it kind of going up and down there. That's because it's competing with the deaths. Okay, but it's still going up.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Net population growth today, same situation. Just competing with the deaths.

Cristina: Okay. Okay. It's about the same as the deaths.

Jack: Yeah. So to summarize, for the year, this year we crossed over to 8 billion people. We birthed 133 million people. We lost 66.7 million people this year. That's a lot of heavy stuff.

Cristina: That's crazy. But it's all crazy. Well, man. Covid. But like, is it more?

Jack: I don't know. But now we start getting to the money.

Cristina: The money.

Jack: Government and economics. So, you know, the people who run.

Cristina: Your lives, how much money they're making.

Jack: How much money has been used?

Cristina: Oh, use. Okay.

Jack: Public health care expenditure this year.

Cristina: Gotta be ridiculous.

Jack: Is at five freaking trillion. Almost six trillion dollars.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's expensive for the year, but we can, boom, make it for today and see that it's already at $13 billion today alone.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Ridiculous. Now, on education, for the year, we have wasted $4 trillion.

Cristina: That's good. I guess.

Jack: I guess.

Cristina: Don't you want it? What should it be more or less than the health?

Jack: I think this is a global thing.

Cristina: Oh, yeah. But so. But that's good right now.

Jack: Not a lot.

Cristina: It's not a lot.

Jack: It's not a lot.

Cristina: Ew.

Jack: Military expenses.

Cristina: As long as it's higher than military. Has to be a good year, right?

Jack: No, I mean, I guess.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It is about twice as much as the military at this point. So that's good.

Cristina: So a ridiculous amount.

Jack: I mean, not twice as much. Its education is about twice as much as military.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Says more on the use, but still.

Cristina: Like trillions or something.

Jack: Yeah, they're both in trillions. Expenditures for the military are at 1.7 and for public education is at 4. So. Yeah. Cars produce this year. 83 million.

Cristina: That's a lot of cars.

Jack: That's a lot of cars. Think of what 83 million cars looks like.

Cristina: Where are these cars at?

Jack: Everywhere. This hella Tesla's outside.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now here is a different category. Social media, or just media in general, I guess. And society. So society and media. Now, interesting enough, the slowest moving stat on this entire thing is the pace at which new books are being published.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Very slow.

Cristina: Maybe it's only one specific time of the day that. Oh, no. The never went up.

Jack: Yeah, very slowly.

Cristina: Wow. What? It is ridiculously slow. Are they counting online books, too? This can't be right.

Jack: Yep, they're just slowly ticking.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Why is everything else going up?

Jack: Random crap too, like newspapers circulating or still blowing up?

Cristina: Newspapers, not books. Okay.

Jack: Cell phones being sold are way more than books.

Cristina: How is published that many? I don't understand. Who's getting more than one cell phone? People just hoarding cell phones. What's happening?

Jack: There's just that many people getting cell phones. Money spent on video games just today is $264 million.

Cristina: That makes sense.

Jack: But for the year.

Cristina: For the year. Oh, what's for the year?

Jack: It is $113 billion.

Cristina: Can we see how much books have been published for the year?

Jack: 2.7 million.

Cristina: That can't. Is that really right? What?

Jack: News papers circulated are 170 billion. TV sets sold are at 244 million. Cell phones sold are at 2.6 billion.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. How many cell phones did you buy this year?

Jack: Internet users in the world? Everyone today, 500. I mean, 5 billion. 561 million. So almost everybody. There's. If there are only 8 billion people, then 5.5 billion people being online means only 2.5 aren't.

Cristina: And those are the Elderly and the babies.

Jack: Yes, 100%. Those are. Bunch of them. Just simply can't do jump online.

Cristina: Yeah. Or they're asleep because they're in that part of the world that hasn't woken up yet.

Jack: Fair enough.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Email sent today.

Cristina: I send so many emails. I hate emails. I'm tired of emails.

Jack: This year has seen a total of 105 trillion emails sent.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: Yeah. Blog posts this year.

Cristina: Has to be ridiculous.

Jack: 3.3 million billion billion billion.

Cristina: Is that more than newspapers? Or is there more newspapers winning?

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Way more newspapers this year and this year. Okay, wow. Okay.

Jack: Tweet sent this year is at 324 billion. Google searches are at 3 trillion.

Cristina: You think they'd be so much more. I mean, I guess that's a lot, but.

Jack: That's a lot. But yeah, I do agree. I feel like it should be way higher than that.

Cristina: Whoa. Ridiculous. How many tweets have you tweeted this year?

Jack: None. I don't have a Twitter. Oh, forest lost this year.

Cristina: All of it.

Jack: 5 million acres. Land lost to soil erosion. 7 million acres.

Cristina: What causes soil erosion? Is that fires?

Jack: Is that farm decay time? Hella CO2 emissions. 36 billion. Trillion. Yeah. No, that's a billion. That's billion. 36 billion. Let's see. Toxic chemicals release into the environment this year. 9.7 tons of toxic chemicals.

Cristina: Is that bad?

Jack: Probably tons. Now we're going on to food.

Cristina: How many tacos have been eaten?

Jack: That would be an amazing study. Undernourished people in the world. 866 million. To be fair, that's way less than you'd think. Think. Right. That's one less than one. Eight.

Cristina: Oh, okay. How many. What are the other stats?

Jack: Overweight people in the world. 1.7 billion. Of which they're all here in the United States. Even if there are only 300 million, it's because each one of them counts for two.

Cristina: So there's more overweight people though, than starving people. That's a good thing.

Jack: Yeah. Well, here's the crazy thing. The next diet here is obese people. And there are a lot.

Cristina: There's.

Jack: There's 1.7 billion overweight people. There's 825 million overweight. I mean obese. So to be fair, if these 825 million people ate less, they can feed this 866 undernourished people.

Cristina: That's not how it works.

Jack: That's literally how it works. If the calories that these people are consuming, which is an added to their body, was given to those people they.

Cristina: Would have to physically give it to those people.

Jack: No. If their diets were just altered and all the extra food was sent to those other people starting today. Those aren't dead people. Those are malnourished people.

Cristina: Yeah, but how are you gonna send it to them? Like, we have so much food. We don't need to. We should be already feeding these people.

Jack: Oh, no, it's greed. We're just gonna take it from the people who are greedy.

Cristina: Like, we don't have to take it from the obese people. We could just give them the garbage we have.

Jack: Why don't we want to make the obese people healthier?

Cristina: The obese people? I guess. Well, you want to take care of the obese people.

Jack: Do all the things at the same time. Fix two birds, one stone. Two birds die because of my one rock.

Cristina: But what if they don't want to stop being fat?

Jack: Oh, fair enough. People who died of hunger today? 25,000.

Cristina: 25,000. How many people died from obesity?

Jack: That would. You don't die from.

Cristina: You don't.

Jack: You don't really die from obesity. Yeah, like, I don't know. That's a whole other problem. Because obesity could cause a heart attack, but it could cause diabetes. You know, it's like many different things.

Cristina: So you can't really say this person died because of obesity. We can see when someone died from starvation. Okay.

Jack: Throughout the year, 11 million people died of starvation.

Cristina: 11 million?

Jack: Yes. 11 million people starved to death. Money spent for obesity related diseases in the USA a lot this year is $230 billion.

Cristina: I know people who did that. Oh, my gosh. Yes. That's crazy.

Jack: All the diseases and crap that they're fighting because of problems they've given themselves. Well, here's a more relatable one. Money spent on weight loss programs in the United states this year. $68 billion. 68 billion.

Cristina: What is the solution to the problem? So you think just, I mean, taking away their food is not the solution and giving it to the hungry people? Because that's just gonna get them fat, you know, like, it's the same garbage.

Jack: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because, you know, it's funny, even the fat people are malnourished.

Cristina: Exactly. So you can't do that as a solution.

Jack: Yeah, it's the quality of what you're getting. So, like, obesity, it's problematic, but you still don't have the vitamins you need. You can give somebody else the calories, and they'll still not be getting the Vitamins they lack.

Cristina: That doesn't solve anything.

Jack: Yeah, it doesn't. It's a real problem. It's a real problem. People's gluttony is boundless. Now moving on to energy. Energy used today a lot. Megawatts.

Cristina: Megawatts, okay.

Jack: 397 million megawatts from non renewable resources. 338 megawatts from renewable resources. 60 million megawatts. Solar energy striking earth.

Cristina: Striking earth.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: The energy we're getting from the sun.

Jack: Yeah, the energy amount. The amount of energy slamming into the earth this very second, I guess for the entire year. That's problematic because I don't know what the f*** number I'm looking at at this point. It's beyond millions, beyond the billions, beyond the trillions. Is that what a Googleplex is? Is it one Googleplex?

Cristina: Well, we're not even close to actually using that or gathering that or whatever like.

Jack: No, this amount of energy is so g****** efficient. We would. If we could capture all the light just headed to Earth. Yeah, just the light hitting Earth. If we could capture all of that, we would power Earth until the extinction of humanity.

Cristina: That's crazy. What?

Jack: Yeah, that's why anybody who can hunt that's just gathering everything that lands on Earth. Civilization 1 type s***.

Cristina: But how many of this energy was taken from the windmills? Those Ewell windmills?

Jack: I don't know. Maybe that's on here somewhere. Oil pumped today in barrels. There's 81 million barrels pumped today.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Oil left calculated in barrels. This is the total oil left on Earth calculated in barrels. And that is 1 trillion. There are 1 trillion barrels of oil left being calculated by the amount of oil like deposits found.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Days to the end of oil at our current rate is forty years or a hundred or fourteen thousand days.

Cristina: That doesn't seem like too bad.

Jack: No, that's good enough. Time to come up with a bunch of stuff. Natural gases left one. What is this trillion as well? Or is that also Googleplex? Billion that trillion. One trillion natural gases left.

Cristina: We just need to get that sun power. That sun.

Jack: That sun power is way up there.

Cristina: Yeah, like I don't care about any of that. Look at the sun power.

Jack: Yeah. Days to the end of natural gas, 56,000 days. Coal left 4 trillion. What's BOE boy bones bo ko left bull. And days to the end of coal are 147,000.

Cristina: Good. Because we need that sunpower. We have. Just figure out the sun.

Jack: Yeah, okay, look. Yes to that sun power. We gotta like dedicate all our resources.

Cristina: Why are we Wasting our natural resources. When we have something hitting us in.

Jack: The face, it's hard to catch, man. It's not easy. It's not easy. You gotta understand. It's a lot. There's a lot of energy. A lot.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But, like, what do we got to do? We got to build these solar panels, and we have to do it with what, Our existing energy. You see the problem? And it's like, well, do we have the amount of energy it would require to build the thing in order to do the thing?

Cristina: But if we did it, like, yes, it will take a lot, but.

Jack: But slowly less because we direct more and more of the solar.

Cristina: We'll be getting so much more.

Jack: Yeah. Production eventually would cross a threshold in which it's exponential, because energy is infinite.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Yeah. I think it's worth. It's worth the investment. It'll be very slow at first, but as you start crawling more and more, the gain is infinite. Yeah, it has infinite. But there's no way we can use that much energy.

Cristina: No, that's crazy.

Jack: Not in our. The lifetime of any of us, at least.

Cristina: So ridiculous.

Jack: A lot of energy.

Cristina: The sun is the way.

Jack: The sun is the way. That's the true mother of life. So, health. Communicable disease Deaths this year. 12 million seasonal flu deaths this year, 500,000. Seasonal flu.

Cristina: Seasonal flu.

Jack: It's a murder a little less known. Covid. No. This year. No. Covid took a couple. Right. Covid. Is.

Cristina: Is Covid here?

Jack: Oh, maybe somewhere in there.

Cristina: Unless the first one has Covid included in it.

Jack: No.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Deaths of children under five this year. 7.5 million. It's a lot of dead kids.

Cristina: A lot of dead kids.

Jack: That's a lot of dead babies.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: 42 million abortions this year.

Cristina: Yeah, but that means they saved a lot of dead babies. There's less dead children because there's more dead babies.

Jack: Yeah. In any case, we could come. We can merge the abortions and the dead children and just say that there are just 50 million abortions or 50 million dead children under five. Deaths of mothers during birth this year. 300,000. What? Deaths due to. Oh, no, not even just people infected with AIDS. 44 million.

Cristina: Oh, okay. That's not. Deaths.

Jack: Okay, this is the current number of people alive right now with AIDS and hiv.

Cristina: Is that a lot compared to how many people there are?

Jack: No.

Cristina: What is that?

Jack: Not even close. Yeah, this is just millions. We're talking 8 billion people. Now we're on to deaths caused by HIV and AIDS in the year. That's 1.6 million Covid is about as crappy or a little shittier.

Cristina: So how many people with it died? Like, what's the math? There's 44.

Jack: Very little.

Cristina: A million died.

Jack: It's not a problem anymore.

Cristina: Okay. So if you get it, you don't have to worry.

Jack: No, you stop worry. But you can handle it now. There's enough medication to kind of fight it back pretty heavily. Science have it. Science has advanced quite a bit. We have the technology.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Deaths caused by cancer this year, way worse. Why aren't we out here horrified about cancer?

Cristina: I guess can't give cancer to someone.

Jack: And although we can give AIDS to someone, it is still way less impactful.

Cristina: People are horrified.

Jack: Yeah, there's freaking deaths. 1.6 million of AIDS and HIV, but by cancer there's 8 million. Please. Cancer is looking at AIDS like chump numbers. B****.

Cristina: But what was the seasonal flu number again?

Jack: The seasonal flu was. No, it's not significant. 500,000 now. Deaths by malaria, 391,000.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Cigarette smoked today. Wow. 12 billion cigarettes smoked this year. 5 trillion.

Cristina: Oh yeah. There's people who don't just do one. Yeah, they'll do a box.

Jack: Deaths caused by smoking. This year they have that number. 5 million.

Cristina: 5 million. How do they know by smoking?

Jack: They don't know.

Cristina: That doesn't make sense.

Jack: This is the same as like being over.

Cristina: Yeah, Wouldn't it be the same? Where are those obese numbers then? Do they have smoking numbers? That doesn't make sense.

Jack: No, it's total bullshit. Like 100% because it would have to be the things that smoking caused. And you can't tell what was caused by smoking or just happen cents. Suicides. This year, just over 1 million.

Cristina: Just over 1 million.

Jack: Money spent on illegal drugs this year, 397 billion.

Cristina: I wonder if that number has gone down because now weed is not such a drug. A legal drug. So that number should have gone down.

Jack: That's probably a huge one. But it's also like insignificant. The change here in the United States, it's. There's a world out there. Road traffic accident fatalities. So car accidents that resulted in somebody dying. 1.3 million.

Cristina: I wonder if they count animals who died. Animals, Cats, deer, squirrels. For some reason, all the random animals, such as the fly that hits your windshield.

Jack: How can. I mean, I bet somebody calculated the fly that hits the windshield.

Cristina: Math, that's how.

Jack: I don't know. There's probably a way to calculate it.

Cristina: Well, that's a lot of death.

Jack: Well, no, it used to be, but now the Windows design in such a way that they glide off as opposed to smack into it. That's why it's. Your windshield is at an angle.

Cristina: Okay. But the animals are still dead.

Jack: There's a bunch of dead animals. But like, how do we calculate something like that? Right. That's nuts. How many animals are there on average? How many of them have died for what causes? Like so much.

Cristina: Mm, so much. Yeah. It's a lot of stuff that happened this year and a lot of money.

Jack: Spent on a lot of things.

Cristina: A lot of things.

Jack: Education is higher, but it's also. We're talking the world. If we were to look at the United States impact of that same thing, it's probably very different.

Cristina: I think it's less.

Jack: I think it's probably way less.

Cristina: Like, when it comes to military, what were the three things? Military, health and education.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Where do you think they rank?

Jack: I think military is way up there for the United States.

Cristina: You think that's number one then over medical? Yeah, yeah, sure. I don't know.

Jack: I do think it's everything.

Cristina: Everything about the hospital is expensive. That's a lot of money.

Jack: Everything about the hospital.

Cristina: Yeah. When it comes to health.

Jack: Yeah. I guess in the here in the United States, at least many countries take care of their citizens. And here. Nah.

Cristina: But that's why I would think that would be more. Probably we spend more money on that than military.

Jack: Well, no, that's. We're literally paying from our pocket as opposed to from tax. That's how they're calculating that how much money of the taxpayer dollars going to these things is what the question was answering, not how much people have like donated to them or whatever.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah. So when it comes down to it, like what you waste on health care, that doesn't matter versus what is taken from your money. That's what's being calculated.

Cristina: So what's the most shocking thing you remember from this year?

Jack: The most shocking thing I remember from this year. This year kind of flew by and it was a bit of a haze. I'm sure a couple of amazing things happened, but I don't remember any. They weren't particularly memorable. It's kind of still rebounding off of 2020 when s*** was like just hitting the fan and the world ending or whatever was happening.

Cristina: Nothing has really changed. I mean, Ukraine is still doing their battle.

Jack: Yeah, that happened this year. War.

Cristina: War. At least the world war hasn't happened yet.

Jack: And NASA is gonna finally have to give up all it. Not NASA. The government is finally also gonna have to give up all this paperwork related to UFOs and stuff, that's. That's cool.

Cristina: That's cool.

Jack: That's dope.

Cristina: Aliens.

Jack: Aliens. Our jobs are no longer gonna be a secret. And only for the people who listen to this show, but for everybody. Soon we're gonna be on tv. We're gonna be super megastars. It's gonna be awesome.

Cristina: I don't want to be on tv.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: Doesn't sound fun.

Jack: Well, we're just gonna be here. Well, I guess not here. Depends where we are.

Cristina: What are we doing just waving at people on tv? Are we celebrities?

Jack: I guess we're gonna be waving like the Queen. We're gonna be podcasting from inside of a bubble.

Cristina: That died today. That died today. That happened this year.

Jack: Oh, the Queen died this year. Oh, yeah, that did happen.

Cristina: I don't know why it came out that way. Yes. That was a mess.

Jack: The Queen. Oh, Her Majesty the Queen. And war.

Cristina: That's.

Jack: That's it. Is that the year wrapped up?

Cristina: Yeah. And Elon buying Twitter.

Jack: Elon bought Twitter. That happened.

Cristina: And Facebook's meta died. I don't know. Is that.

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: They made it such a big deal. It was a lot panicking, sort of. And like, what's it gonna do? It's gonna change the world and everything, and we're gonna be living in it. This is gonna be.

Jack: The feature became like a weird matrix.

Cristina: Nothing happened.

Jack: Yeah, nothing happened. People hopped in. Somebody made some angry or bored apes, and that was it. The end.

Cristina: Was that an NFT?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Was that the thing this year? NFT.

Jack: There were a bunch of NFTs, but it's been like two years of NFTs at this point.

Cristina: Yeah, well, it died off this year. It was born. Yes, Last year.

Jack: Yeah. Both of those things came and went pretty quickly. Meanwhile, bitcoin's still going hard.

Cristina: Yeah. What a year.

Jack: What a year. What a year.

Cristina: But look, we've had.

Jack: We had some ups and downs this year. We didn't catch Santa, but we've done a lot. And our only saving grace is Steve training. Eventually he'll be done. One day he'll be like, I figured it out.

Cristina: And then he abandons us.

Jack: Yeah. Goes joins a cloud or whatever. Becomes a God himself.

Cristina: He is sort of, kind of.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: He needs to become one.

Jack: But anyways, look, look, look, look. You guys can find out about Steve the Groundhog on our Groundhog Day episode. You guys can see last year's wrap up last year. You got to go back in time. You can't listen to it anymore. You got to go to last year to hear it when it first came out. Get yourself a time machine. You don't have one.

Cristina: Get cooler, get cooler.

Jack: Get cooler. Get a cooler.

Cristina: Get a cooler.

Jack: No, that's where we store our time machine. In a cooler.

Cristina: Why would we do that? That's gotta be huge.

Jack: Why can't our time machine be. Watch. A wristwatch, huh?

Cristina: Because I feel like you described it as us going into it.

Jack: Why can't it be a wristwatch that turns us into pure light and then pulls us inside?

Cristina: How do you take multiple people?

Jack: Well, you can take as many people as you want. We're 99% emptiness. I'm a walking nothing.

Cristina: So you put it on, and then how do you get other people to put it on? They just. You fall onto the floor. I mean, it falls onto the floor, and then the next person just puts it on, and then they fall.

Jack: No, we all just get sucked into it and then it disappears.

Cristina: How does it know who to take you?

Jack: I don't know. You hold hands.

Cristina: Okay. He's like, what stops everyone else from entering?

Jack: It looks way more like magic. Yeah, but look, you guys can learn about all that stuff and you can, like, I don't know, look at posts and chunk on the official websites and chunks and stuff. But look, find us on social media@justconvo pod, on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok, and you can.

Cristina: Or remember to subscribe. Yes, remember to subscribe. Don't do. Do it. Please. Do it.

Jack: Do what?

Cristina: Subscribe.

Jack: Please subscribe. Yes, I suppose. Please, I beg of you.

Cristina: Please, please. I need you to subscribe.

Jack: I mean, we don't need s*** from these people, Ray.

Cristina: And review the show.

Jack: Oh, yes, that's very important. Very. It's awesome when you do that. We like it.

Cristina: Let people who might like this show know about it.

Jack: Yeah, man, there's a bunch of stuff.

Cristina: Look, there's a choice of people who might not like this show.

Jack: Yeah, look, we're on all the feeds, right? Then we're everywhere. You can show them wherever you want.

Cristina: Show everybody who exists, and then they'll know.

Jack: And look, there's a bunch of episodes about all the crap we talked. And, you know, you'll find all of it. Just type keywords and junk and you'll. You'll find it, bro. It's there. Anyways, look, this has been the Rambling podcast. Take nothing personal and thanks for listening. Bye.

Cristina: Have conversations with someone else.

Jack: So that's brain work right there.

Cristina: That's brain working.

Jack: Have conversations, paint write, sketch, do something. It doesn't f****** matter. Do something. Exercise.

Cristina: You're not a zombie.

Jack: Yeah, prove you're not a f****** sheep.

Cristina: Or a sheep.

Jack: Yeah, that's what sheep do. They wait to be herded.

Cristina: Oh, that's exactly what's happening. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. People wait to go back to the herd later and then be told what to do. D***. And people just gave in, dude. People just gave in. That just happened. People just. And were programmed school programs.

Cristina: This is so easy.

Jack: Yeah, school programs. Us, dude. It's do what you go into f****** building. Shut the f*** up. And you do what the person in the front is telling you to do. You know, it doesn't make sense, but that's. You're not there to learn math or English. You need to learn how to follow orders.

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by great dots.info art by 0lupo and logo by Seth McAllister with social media managed by Amber Black.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Cristina: And I'm Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. And Christmas is coming.

Cristina: Yay.

Jack: So we're grounding baffling ideas because that's.

Cristina: What we do before Santa gets here.

Jack: Oh, I guess. Right, because we're already gonna capture Santa.

Cristina: In a few hours or something like that.

Jack: Really? That's today?

Cristina: It's not today. It's at midnight.

Jack: What's a midnight?

Cristina: When Santa shows up, is it everyone's midnight? I don't know. Is it? I don't know how it works time wise.

Jack: Okay, so wait, what numerically, what day is. Is Christmas?

Cristina: 25Th.

Jack: Interesting. It always thought it was the 24th.

Cristina: It's Christmas Eve, I guess.

Jack: Oh. So, yeah, yeah. It's like a thing.

Cristina: Yes. You stay up all night on the 24th to go to bed. I don't know. I guess not really. Some people just have a normal 24th and then on Christmas day open their presents.

Jack: Yeah. That makes sense, right? Waking up to it.

Cristina: Yeah. And some people celebrate Christmas Eve like it's Christmas. They just hang out and wait for 12 and then open their presents.

Jack: Okay, so the idea here is I'm thinking that there's a difference between the people who Open it at 12 and people who wake up to it.

Cristina: There's a difference?

Jack: Yes. Which is that the people who Open it at 12 are science minded people.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: While the people who open open it the next morning are more fantastical.

Jack: So they are in the magic of it, while these other people are like, f*** it. If the point is the day and the stuff, then we can like optimize the experience.

Cristina: But they tell their children that Santa Claus magic works at midnight or something. I guess.

Jack: But what?

Cristina: Yes. Like he delivers the gifts early under the tree, but if you open it before Christmas, there's nothing going to be in there.

Jack: Wait, is that what you experienced?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Really?

Cristina: Yes. The magic happens at midnight.

Jack: Really? Interesting.

Cristina: He delivers them on Christmas Eve, but there's nothing in there until Christmas.

Jack: I guess I could still in theory be. No, but there's in theory nothing under the tree the day before in a household that does it the next morning. Right.

Cristina: I'm not sure.

Jack: Then that's when like dad sneaks out and brings all, you know, the kids went to sleep. Dad then gets dressed as Santa Claus and comes and delivers the gifts all late.

Cristina: Oh, man, I wish I could have questioned some people.

Jack: Right. I guess the experience is so different from household to household.

Cristina: Yes. I think everyone makes up the rules for their own family of how it's done. I don't think there's, like, a real tradition anymore or ever was. Like, there is sort of, like, loosely. Loosely. Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. It's like, guidelines more than rules.

Cristina: Yes. And I think every family does it their own way. Whatever, like, fits what they're doing, so.

Jack: Yeah, I agree with that.

Cristina: Yeah. So how did you do it day.

Jack: Of or day before whatever was happening at the location I was at.

Cristina: What? So it was different each year.

Jack: There was no celebration.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah. We would just go wherever and write it.

Cristina: Okay. But they were doing it different.

Jack: Yeah. Depends where we were.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay. Then the only person I know who did it the day of had the gifts on the tree the day of. Okay. Does Santa work differently depending on the family?

Jack: Well, it's. Again, it's just random rules people are making up that.

Cristina: What?

Jack: It's random rules people are making up.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: There's no real. Like, it has to be this way. As long as the general guidelines are followed, then I guess there's enough collective fear.

Cristina: Oh, yes.

Jack: Yeah. All you need is a fear to be generated. Oh, there's. The whole year matters so much.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because of this one day, and it's always more fear than it was. The day you got the least fear is the day immediately after Christmas. You got your stuff, the released habit. You just. Ah, yes. The weight paid off.

Cristina: Except for those kids who are unhappy with what they got.

Jack: Yeah. Fair enough.

Cristina: There's enough of those.

Jack: I bet. I bet that's the majority.

Cristina: What? Spoiled children. Spoiled.

Jack: Yeah. I think children are more spoiled as time goes by, right?

Cristina: Mm, probably.

Jack: Would we say. Would we say that the children are more spoiled or. Or are we focusing on the spoiledness more?

Cristina: What do you mean?

Jack: Like, we would highlight. What? There's how they're spoiled. That they're spoiled more often now because they like things that we wouldn't. Right. Is that, like, a thing? Like, the adult is like, you know, all this superficial stuff that didn't exist in my life so I have no interest in. Is meaningless because I don't have interest in it, so. Because they have interest in it. Look at this spoiled kid wanting all these things that, to that kid, looked like survival.

Cristina: To that kid, looks like survival.

Jack: Yeah. Think about how crazy it is to not have a phone now.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Whoa. That just was a thing. You Lived without at some point. Yeah, everybody did. Yeah, well, not everybody. I guess we're way beyond the point that everybody had a point in life without a phone. Because at this point, we're talking that, like, kids who could start holding things learn how to use a phone because it's their mom handing them the phone to keep them distracted.

Cristina: Mm. That sucks.

Jack: They are toddlers learning how to navigate these things. What?

Cristina: Well, that's great. I guess they might integrate some. Yeah, yeah. Once we're all living in computers or whatever.

Jack: Yeah. They're gonna be the heroes. They're gonna be the ones who can hack their way out.

Cristina: Yes. Maybe. I don't know, man. I keep seeing reports about neuralink and how they're killing animals. Like, I'm sure it makes sense. A lot of animals are gonna die.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah.

Cristina: I don't know if it's as bad as they make it seem, though.

Jack: How many animals have they said are.

Cristina: Dead in the 2000s now? I think there's like, a variety of different animals as well, but. Yeah.

Jack: So it doesn't work at the moment.

Cristina: No. Or maybe it does. I don't know.

Jack: But they're like, maybe all the. As many corpses as requ.

Cristina: Because what if it's like, it's a lot, but what if it's not a lot compared to how many animals are testing? Like 200 are dead. But what if they're testing a thousand?

Jack: Well, that is a s***** number, but I see where you're coming from. What if they ran the experiment on, like, a million numbers and it's a million animals and it's just 200?

Cristina: Yes. Like, we don't know the exact number of how many are being tested versus how many are failing the test.

Jack: Yeah, Those numbers could be completely obscured. They could be huge and. Or small. But no, it has to be. Okay. If they're doing really, really hyper controlled tests, they're probably experimenting. So. So they're testing things on an animal, studying it literally to death. Or they think it's done and they're trying to run it, and they're running it on a huge number of animals, and the only ones that have negative side effects are the 200. Those are two very different things that could be happening both with the animals dying. If it's still in the experimentation stages, they could be killing the animals.

Cristina: Ah.

Jack: And it's very. But it's very few animals. It's probably just 200 animals, if that's what they're saying. Because they're all controlled tests. You're just Running tests on one thing, seeing all the different behaviors and whatever. What you could control, what can't be controlled through the thought of the animal or whatever.

Cristina: When you kill it, it.

Jack: No, no, it just dies. You exhaust it or something goes wrong. You have to test all the glitches and whatever and something happens. So that. That would mean that 200 out of the 200. It might have just been 200 testing on which, like, they've killed all their test subjects.

Cristina: That sounds pretty crazy.

Jack: Yeah, but it could be that they're also just running the test as long as they could. The animal is gonna die. Yes, they expect it.

Cristina: Unless it's like, okay, five months later or something. The animal's dead. That's kind of crazy.

Jack: Yeah, exactly. That'd be crazy. But if it's the other test, then it's already done. They're just running it on a bunch of animals. Could be millions and 200 dead.

Cristina: Yeah, I gotta do more research on this. Eventually I'll figure it out. Yeah, because it could be either or. I have no idea. It just sounds like a lot. But it may or may not be a lot. Or it may be that they're doing until they just die off because of age. Like.

Jack: Well, it depends on who's telling you.

Cristina: Who's telling me?

Jack: Yeah, like if it's PETA, you're not gonna switch. They don't care which side it is. It's gonna seem crazy no matter what.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: If it's written by somebody pro life, they're not gonna tell you about the rest of the experiments. Just 200. If they're telling you. If somebody science minded, they're probably only gonna tell you about the sciencey side and try to minimize how much damage is being done because. Yeah, it could be worse than it is. It could just. There's a lot going on.

Cristina: I will find out eventually. That's my Christmas duty.

Jack: Your Christmas duty?

Cristina: Yes. So you guys will find out before New Year's. Maybe if I actually do this.

Jack: Yes, we remember.

Cristina: Yes. Okay. I decided to do it right now they're being. They're investigating him for violating the Animal Welfare Act. So. Federal investigation on narrow link.

Jack: So.

Cristina: So they are killing animals?

Jack: Well, I mean, if he's being investigated for it, then we don't know. They're checking to make sure. Because an investigation could just be to confirm that there's nothing wrong.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: It could totally mean that there's something as well. It depends on what the investigation concludes.

Cristina: Yeah, but that's a serious investigation. If it's federal.

Jack: Well, I'm assuming the Federal branch of the government. Well, no, because it's police. Right. Or is it law? Who is it? Who? The federal. What?

Cristina: Oh, no, I lost it. Federal investigation.

Jack: Who's who? Who? The Fed.

Cristina: Who are the Feds?

Jack: Like the Federal and Bureau of Investigations. They're the investigators, I guess. Or is it like politicians are doing. No, they would just send cops. Right.

Cristina: The United States Department of Agriculture Inspector General has opened a probe into potential violations.

Jack: Oh, there's just this other agency that's been hun to investigate. Interesting.

Cristina: We got some real numbers here. Neuralink likely calls researchers to test and kill more animals than a slower, more conventional approach would call for. Since 2019, the company has tested on and killed at least 1500 animals, over 280 sheep, pigs and monkeys, as well as mice and rats. So they are killing off these animals?

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's a thousand five hundred.

Cristina: Fifteen hundred? Yes.

Jack: So about a thousand five hundred. Whoa. That's way more than two hundred.

Cristina: Yes. What the. That was the original number. Two hundred?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: That's way more than 200.

Cristina: That's a lot of animals. It's been a lot of years, though, too, right? It has been at least, what, 20, 18? This started or.

Jack: Yeah, I think that's what they said.

Cristina: Yeah. So how much years is that?

Jack: Three, four years?

Cristina: Four years and a thousand five hundred animals.

Jack: I guess you really gotta ask yourself if it's worth it for science. That's. That's the next question. Right. Okay, look, look.

Cristina: Once it succeeds, then they're gonna be like, yes, it was totally worth it.

Jack: Leading the fight up to that point is gonna be so massive, it's only gonna get worse. Yes, but after he reaches the climax, the tip, the peak, the threshold, if you will, and starts coming down the other side of that mountain, Mm. It's gonna be such exaggeratedly easy sailing.

Cristina: I don't know. Because once he starts like man, once the human testing happens, he can't do what he's doing with these animals. He can't try to speed it up to get this going because he wants it already made already. He's speeding up the process because he.

Jack: Wants it for him.

Cristina: Yes, but the problem is all these deaths.

Jack: Yeah, well, it's gonna happen in a long stretch anyways.

Cristina: Yes, but at least if it was slowed down, if he wasn't in a rush for it, it'd be done more safely. It'll take longer to accomplish, but less animals and less humans in the future will not be Dead. Isn't that the point? That is doing it the right way.

Jack: That is fair. We also got to think like, do you want to see the fruits of your labor? Do you just want it for the next generation?

Cristina: I guess that's why he. Yeah.

Jack: Everything he wants, he wants for him. Elon Musk isn't a hero.

Cristina: No.

Jack: He's not trying to advance humanity, advance himself. He made PayPal, cuz. F*** banks. That's like crazy. Okay, perfect. He made self driving cars because he hates driving.

Cristina: Yes. Self driving, flying cars. Isn't that the future?

Jack: Definitely a thing. That's gonna be dope as h***. And it's gonna be easy with AI navigating all of it. Hyperloop. He wants to be able to cross the country in a couple of minutes.

Cristina: It's very lazy.

Jack: Yeah, he just. He wants to remove things. But think about how much he does. He somehow optimizes life enough to run seven massive operations.

Cristina: Wait, does Twitter count now?

Jack: Yes. Yeah, I guess. How does he have the time?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Eight massive operations.

Cristina: That's ridiculous.

Jack: Yes, and like full hands on with all of them.

Cristina: Mm. That's a lot of work, man.

Jack: A lot of work. But he's optimized so much of it.

Cristina: Gotta have figured out cloney. Yeah, he's cloned himself. There's more than one of him running around. Maybe more than us. One of us are running around. Well, me probably, not. You definitely.

Jack: Yeah, for sure.

Cristina: There's gotta be like one or two other you's out there.

Jack: Yeah, see, that's the crazy part, right? It's unclear.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: It's unclear whether it's one or two.

Cristina: So yeah, he could be in the same situation. We don't know.

Jack: I mean, there's definitely multiple Elon Musks. Maybe one per business. Maybe he's in a real multiplicity type of situation.

Cristina: Whoa. So there's gotta be seven, eight now. Yes. Midget. Him is the one running totor.

Jack: Midget.

Cristina: The Danny DeVito version of him.

Jack: DeVito isn't a midget. And also, isn't midget like a non PC term?

Cristina: Oh, I didn't mean that. I meant Danny DeVito. The Danny DeVito version of him.

Jack: The Danny DeVito version.

Cristina: Was he even in that movie? I don't even remember. I just remember there was different people playing the same person. It's the same person.

Jack: No, it's Michael Keaton. Four or five times.

Cristina: Oh, okay. It's just him. Why did I think it was different actors playing him? Is there a movie with different actors? Or playing the same. I don't know.

Jack: There is a movie where Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito are twins.

Cristina: Oh, maybe that's what I was thinking. Okay, whatever. Danny DeVito is a version of Elon Musk.

Jack: Yeah. Danny DeVito got all the recessive genes, and Arnold got all the, like, dominant genes. All the good, like, dope stuff, all the skill.

Cristina: Okay, and which one got the brains then? He got the brains.

Jack: He got the brains, too. Yeah.

Cristina: Okay, there's a Elon Musk that looks like Danny DeVito but with, I don't know, the same amount of hair. I was gonna say more or less, but I don't. The Danny DeVito version of him is without glasses. That's what makes him different from both. From the regular Danny DeVito. It still. It looks just like Danny DeVito, but it's Elon's twin.

Jack: Okay, okay.

Cristina: Does Danny DeVito wear glasses? I don't even know.

Jack: Does Danny.

Cristina: Well, I guess I've seen him with glasses, but that could be acting.

Jack: Yeah, I mean, Frank from he.

Cristina: We. Glasses?

Jack: Yeah, I think he wears glasses.

Cristina: Oh, crap.

Jack: But I don't. I don't know if Danny DeVito wears glasses. Maybe he wears glasses.

Cristina: Well, whatever. This version of him also, like, what.

Jack: Awesome life to have, like, beaten all the odds with Donnie. Danny DeVito. Right. Like, his acting overcomes everything because he knows he's like a weird little dwarf guy. Not dwarf. He's like a. Like a troll doll or something.

Cristina: He's just really round.

Jack: He's round. He's like. If you got Robin Williams and put, like, a Robin Williams doll and you put him in the microwave and you, like, microwave him for not. Not enough that it melts, but, like, enough to get just a little bit to fluff. Deformed.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: Not literally that he looks like a deformed doll, but he's like. If you were to downgrade something by that much margin. Because they're essentially two short guys. Except I don't think Robin Williams were so short. He could.

Cristina: Robin Williams wasn't that sure, was he?

Jack: I'm pretty sure he was pretty. He was short. He wasn't tall. He was. I bet he was, like, five, six.

Cristina: I'm gonna look it up. I thought he was just average. 5, 6 is average.

Jack: 5, 6 is below average.

Cristina: Oh, 5, 7.

Jack: 5, 7. I don't know. I've never looked this up. This is entirely just off of how he looks.

Cristina: He's right next to. What's his name? Oh, crap. You can't see. Ask what's this actor's name? The guy that people think Harry Potter looks like who did the Lord of the Rings movies.

Jack: The Lord of the Ring movies?

Cristina: Yes. Wilbert.

Jack: Who?

Cristina: The actor from Wilbert.

Jack: I don't.

Cristina: The talking dog. Wilfred.

Jack: Wilfred.

Cristina: Wilfred.

Jack: Wilfred.

Cristina: Eli. Ellen.

Jack: Oh, Ellen DeGeneres.

Cristina: No. I tried to remember the actor's name. His name, I feel like, starts with the E. What was he in the Lord of the Rings?

Jack: The Lord of the Rings? Who do I know? The main star of Lord of the Rings.

Cristina: The main.

Jack: Elijah Wood.

Cristina: Yes. He is about the same height.

Jack: 5 7.

Cristina: I don't know if he is, but, like in this photo of them together standing next to each other, he looks like he's the same height.

Jack: How tall is Elijah? I bet Elijah Wood. I. Dude, I never thought about Elijah Wood's height in my life. I could have sworn he was. He might have been due to the Hobbit, though. But I thought he was way shorter, like five two or something. What?

Cristina: I mean, maybe, I don't know. Five, six.

Jack: Five six? He's way taller than I thought he was.

Cristina: He's the height you thought Robin Williams was. Okay, yeah. Wow.

Jack: I mean, Robin Williams basically is five six.

Cristina: Okay, let's find out how tall Danny DeVito is. What if he's not even that crazy?

Jack: Can you imagine?

Cristina: He's the same height as Elijah.

Jack: Nah. 5:1.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: What's your bet?

Cristina: I already see it. Is 5:1 no shorter?

Jack: 4:7?

Cristina: Taller?

Jack: 4:9?

Cristina: 4:10.

Jack: 4:10. How many. How many people? How many men do you think are 410 in the world? Is that common? Is he not strange? Is this strange here?

Cristina: It's gotta be strange.

Jack: You think overall, like, men grow to be taller than that? Like, there's not, like a small civilization that if he went there, they would be like. Yes, a height of guys?

Cristina: No, no, I don't think so.

Jack: Also, I hear this one argument consistently.

Cristina: What?

Jack: In the past, humans were taller. And I also hear in the past humans are shorter.

Cristina: What? That's helpful.

Jack: Yeah. So I don't know who's. Right.

Cristina: Both is true and, like, average. Now, how.

Jack: Yeah, can you imagine how has this not. I guess your reasoning could check out, Right? If it goes up and down, then yeah, we'd most likely be in the one that's happened most often.

Cristina: Yeah, I guess. Right. So you want to know, though, if there's people who are normally just four.

Jack: Or left, what percentage of the population is what height after a certain age?

Cristina: Okay, so the shortest people in this thing is people from East Timor. Timmore. East Timor, which is in Southeast Asia.

Jack: How short are they?

Cristina: The men are five and two and a half inches, and the women are five feet. Then there's a bunch of countries that the men don't have heights, average heights, for some reason. No idea what's happening there, but. So that's the shortest of the ones we have in record.

Jack: Whoa.

Cristina: So then.

Jack: Yeah, I guess in a situation like that, if that's the average, then that means that there is averagely above and below that height as well.

Cristina: So they have the shortest man. But I guess shortest women would go somewhere else because I only did it for one. But five feet. Five and a half.

Jack: Five and a half. Five feet and a half inch.

Cristina: Five feet. Oh, no. Five feet and two and a half. That's what I meant.

Jack: Two and a half for males.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. So then again, like, the Danny DeVito could, in theory, walk into the civilization and they would just be like, yes, he's normal height.

Cristina: He's normal height.

Jack: Or he's, like, slightly short.

Cristina: He's still short.

Jack: He might still be short, but he's not crazy short. Just slightly short. Yeah, they probably have a lot of people that height. He's probably in the base height still for them.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And then there's people taller and people shorter now, man. Can you imagine the shortest. The average shortest person? Me? It's the average tallest person. The visual must be crazy. But also, it couldn't be right because, like, at most average height, there's, like, people that are just seven feet tall.

Cristina: So it wouldn't be a seven feet tall person.

Jack: Yeah, no, it would still be like. I think the average would still be huge.

Cristina: Huge.

Jack: Like six, five.

Cristina: Okay. And then the average for short.

Jack: Well, the average for short is already 5, 2, 5, 2.

Cristina: The highest average average for dudes is 6ft and 1 inch.

Jack: That's so much lower than I thought it was.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So, like, look at that small.

Cristina: Yeah, I guess next to each other, they weren't. They wouldn't be that big of a difference.

Jack: No, the. The shortest average person next to the tallest average person is still like, yeah, you're looking up to see this person, but he's not a monster.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: I guess only exceptions stand out. Like the shortest person from the shortest civilization and the tallest. Exactly. Those situations is ridiculous. Or someone with legit dwarfism that's cutting into the slowest numbers and someone with literal gigantism that's scraping impossibly high numbers.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: These exceptions make everybody else look obscured.

Cristina: Yeah. But if you just Take the average normal. Whatever.

Jack: It's so close together, it doesn't even matter.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Right. Anyways, we are so close to catching Santa. Santa. Or trying to.

Cristina: Or.

Jack: Yeah, doing our best. Not everything.

Cristina: We just gotta wait a few hours.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Then he'll be here.

Jack: Almost at the crossing line.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Is that what it's called? Is it called the crossing line? What is the line you cross? I feel like it sounds right and people just say the crossing line. But like, is that the name of the line?

Cristina: Is it the crossing line? I don't know. The finish line.

Jack: The finish line.

Cristina: Saying it wrong.

Jack: I am saying it wrong. Yes. The finish line.

Cristina: Yeah. We're almost at the finish line.

Jack: Almost at the finish line. That will cross.

Cristina: We'll cross. We're about to cross the finish line.

Jack: Got it? Yes. Clarity. So. Yeah. Because today's the day. Well, it's gonna be the day. Today's gonna be for the day.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But whatever. Same thing. It's almost. It's a two day event. Previous day. Or I guess it's of like, as the night approach. No, you just get suited. Right.

Cristina: It's a wondering. Yeah. Are you doing something special? Are we like decorating the place to look Christmassy So he thinks like, this is a normal. No family he's visiting?

Jack: No, he has to deliver here. We already sent him your letter.

Cristina: We have Jesus already then.

Jack: Well, we went back in time and we put Jesus in the machine.

Cristina: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Jesus. He has to find Jesus.

Jack: Or not. Yeah, I guess it is a machine. The liquid machine. Let's call it cryostasis. Or being frozen. But no, it's liquid. Very cool.

Cristina: But we don't have Jesus.

Jack: No. He's in the past. Or I guess he's in the present.

Cristina: He's in the present.

Jack: He came to the future with us, but not with us.

Cristina: Yes. Not in this location.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah.

Cristina: He's in whatever cave that he died in.

Jack: He never died. We took him down.

Cristina: Whatever. We put him. We put him in the box in the cave that he was supposed to die in.

Jack: Yes. Preserving him. So Santa Claus should have already retrieved him.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now, in theory, if, if. If Santa really does have some sort of time control ability that allows him to then do everything at night in this one moment. That's suddenly a little gift.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And I didn't think about this before. We wouldn't be able to catch Santa.

Cristina: I just realized that when you were saying what you were saying before, you said we wouldn't be able to catch it. I understood.

Jack: Yes. The build up is that the presence would just show up suddenly, literally in front of us. It was just into existence.

Cristina: Yeah, of course.

Jack: He saw himself walk up, put it there and walk away. Yeah, but that happened so instant.

Cristina: He's like the Flash. You don't just catch the Flash.

Jack: What? This plan had the biggest.

Cristina: Unless we can. Is there some type of thing that catches the Flash? Is there a Flash Kryptonite? I don't know.

Jack: But he's not super fast. Literally no. Or I mean, it could be, but it's time related.

Jack: He's controlling time. And look, in the time machine, we're fine. But if we turn off the time machine to get out.

Cristina: What if you. You write a list to him to tell him to deliver my gift very slowly. Would that work?

Jack: I doubt that would work because it's all gonna happen.

Cristina: It's already too late to send him a letter.

Jack: Yeah, it's happening tonight anyway. I mean, we have a time machine. It doesn't really matter.

Cristina: So then you can send him a letter.

Jack: Yeah, but that wouldn't change anything because we don't get the choose when he delivers. And how. We just ask for the thing. That's them rules, bro.

Cristina: But there's gotta be something we can tell him that would help us. Well, you can. He's already asked him for the Jesus. So now you have to come up with something that will slow him down. Tell him to eat all our cookies or something. And we'll just have a ridiculous amount of cookies.

Jack: Why would he listen to us?

Cristina: I don't know. That's your Christmas wish and he has to fulfill your wish.

Jack: Interesting. Interesting. I see where you're going with this.

Cristina: So we should do something ridiculous like that.

Jack: But here's the problem. Here's the problem. And this is the issue with what we're dealing with. Right? He could eat those cookies super mega slow. He still has to get to all the houses that night. What to him is gonna look like a slowdown is still going to be so unfathomably quick to us.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We will not be able to see him. We look still to him even when he drops.

Cristina: We just had a speed bunch of trees and a bunch of gifts under those trees.

Jack: No, it would still look instant. Here's the image you got to think about, right? The Flash could circle the Earth in seconds.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Santa is going to go to each individual house on Earth by the end of the day.

Cristina: So how do we do it? There's gotta be a way. We have a few hours to figure this out.

Jack: It has to be A trap. Right, a trap. Magic. Magic surpasses dimensions and s***, Right? Magic is the way we. We can salmon dean it and, like, make a demon trap. But not for demons. Like, for Santa Claus.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And we somehow catch him dampening his magic.

Cristina: Know how to use magic.

Jack: We don't. We gotta come out brainstorming here. We can figure things out.

Cristina: Okay, because we know cat people use magic, but we don't know how to use their magic. And also, their magic isn't really magic. It's their technology. And it just looks like magic.

Jack: It just looks like magic. I always forget that part. So we still don't even know if magic is real?

Cristina: Yeah, I mean, we do have creatures that have magic. Ah. Okay.

Jack: Whether abilities are. No.

Cristina: Well, no.

Jack: Magic has to be real if fairies are real.

Cristina: Could we use fairies somehow? There's nothing stronger than him. There's no way. We can't, like, ask a different God to do something. We can't ask, like, the cloud God.

Jack: No. Is Santa's from our side, right?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: He's just a dude who figured things out.

Cristina: We think.

Jack: We think. Unless he's that thing from freaking Love.

Cristina: Death and robots, he could totally be. We don't know.

Jack: We don't know. But yeah. No, I don't think there's. This plan's gonna work. Unless we can trap him. We would need to strip him of his powers.

Cristina: How do we.

Jack: So then he falls back to normal speed.

Cristina: Well, we don't even know how his powers work.

Jack: Fear. Which is everywhere. And he's somehow tuned into it. Unless the reason he has to do everything in one day is because that's all that he has in reserve.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Like he's trying to conserve it for a reason. Otherwise, why wouldn't he just spread it out throughout more time? But he's also had this operation going for so long at the same rate that he could totally survive off that bit and have crazy amounts of it stored.

Cristina: Okay, if it was something that was running out, then the way we can solve this is by being like, one of the last places he visits. Because he'd be at his weakest.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: If that's how it works.

Jack: Well, actually. Interesting point. Interesting point. This is really good. We just have to find out where he's going last. But now the question is. Oh, no.

Cristina: There is a tracker specifically for Santa Claus.

Jack: But what happened to track where he is?

Cristina: Yeah, around the world. All the kids could see it.

Jack: Oh, that's cool.

Cristina: But I probably start. I don't know if it's too late or Whatever. Or too early. It's probably. I don't know, whatever. But what were you gonna say?

Jack: It doesn't matter if we're the last house. If he's still going so fast, our problem is slowing him down. The only way that it'll work would be with a trap.

Cristina: But you don't think going to the last place at least would help?

Jack: It would help us get to him. We can calculate who already has presence to some degree. But if his presence is going to be for one millionth of a microsecond, that's imperceptible to me. He's there for shorter than my brain processes frames.

Cristina: He travels 10 million kilometers an hour.

Jack: 10 million kilometers how? What's the speed of light? 307 million miles per hour.

Cristina: That sounds right. It's about 300 million meters per second.

Jack: Not kilometers.

Cristina: No. At least that's what Google's saying. Kilometers. Somewhere else says kilometers. It says about 300,000 kilometers per second somewhere else. I don't know. How do we compare Santa's speed to.

Jack: Well, how. What? How many kilometers are in a pointless. It's not even. Look, it's not even scratching it. It doesn't matter. It's useless math. Yeah, he's not even scratch the speed of light. Which, by the way, bravo to the freaking Flash, bro. Think about how. How much ground Santa Claus is covering instantaneously.

Cristina: Okay, but for miles per hour. If we translate what he's doing is 6 million miles per hour.

Jack: And the speed of light should be miles as well. I'm believing. Okay, here are the exact numbers. Or again, not exact. Not exact. Close. Rounded. Sake of time. Time moves at 186,000 miles per second. 186,000 miles. Santa Claus moves at 650 miles per second. He's not scratching the surface of light. No, not even. But he's moving so fast, everything is standing still.

Cristina: Yes, I read that he's faster than both the Flash and Superman. Don't know how.

Jack: I don't know how either, considering. Wait, could Flash outrun a light?

Cristina: I guess it's because Santa defies. What is it? Santa can warp space and time anyway.

Jack: Yeah, that's why I'm saying it's less about how quick he's. Actually, we're using that to calculate how much ground he's covering. But he's not actually a speedster. He's just stopping time or something.

Cristina: He is kind of like warm hole traveling.

Jack: That would still not give him enough time to hop in and out of the wormhole at every Single location on earth in a 24 hour period. There has to be a real factor of time fully coming to a halt or to a crawl in order for him to continue to do things. Even if he had all day and he spent one second at every house in real time, he wouldn't be able to. There's more houses than there are seconds.

Cristina: But somehow he's doing it because, like, he's traveling with a sleigh. He's not just popping in and out. He's.

Jack: I'm assuming that sleigh is this time machine.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Okay, so you can go crazy. It's a vessel of something. It's some. There's some use of that. And he has, what, eight, 12 magical other beings he takes with him?

Cristina: More magic.

Jack: More magic? Are they batteries?

Cristina: What?

Jack: Holy crap. That actually checks out. They can sustain, you know, they can float things when he's not around.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: They're. They're thinking beings, and they can supply additional magic.

Cristina: Yes, but how do we stop him?

Jack: Crap. Is it actually magic?

Cristina: Yes. Do we stop? What if we jump into his sleigh? Does that help?

Jack: We'd have to steal his sleigh. But again, this assumes that the sleigh is there long enough for us to perceive it there at all. He parks, gets out casually, goes in, eats a cookie, sits down, lounges for a second, gets up, takes the gifts out of the bag, goes right back up the chimney, talks to the reindeer, gets on the sleigh, checks his phone, takes off casually.

Cristina: Is it possible to murder his reindeers?

Jack: We'd have to see them. The problem we are having entirely is that everything is gonna happen so instantly that right now it hasn't happened. And right now it just happened, and it made no difference to us.

Cristina: But there has to be a way to stop it from doing that. There has to be some type of trap.

Jack: Yes. A trap is the way I think we built a trap. He falls for the trap, has no abilities, man. 10's a hard one. This is really complicated. All things considered.

Cristina: I don't know how we're gonna do that. How do we take away his magic? I'm thinking of trap with, like, his reindeer. We get. We have zombies. The zombies can murder the reindeers, but I doubt the zombies could do anything.

Jack: Why wouldn't we want to keep the reindeer?

Cristina: Because I don't know. What if they just disappear? We're trying to stop Santa from leaving. He can't leave without his sleigh. We got the sleigh.

Jack: Maybe he can.

Cristina: Yeah. Oh, yes. But if we have the sleigh. We can get to where he is. Probably with the slay technology.

Jack: Yes. Also, this is like a Wakanda situation, right?

Cristina: I mean, I guess we don't have to murder the reindeer. I just feel like it would be the easiest way to get rid of them from the. I mean, we just have to scare them away from the sleigh.

Jack: I don't think it would happen. They're magical beings. Overpowered ones.

Cristina: You don't think they're afraid of zombies?

Jack: I don't think zombies. They're ma. They're made of magic, most likely. I don't know. We had. We probably have to murder one. I still kind of want to answer the question if, like, magical beings are made of flesh.

Cristina: Okay, so we murdered just one. We gotta kill one of them, and that will scare the rest of them.

Jack: Well, we can kill something else. We can kill something even more pure magic, like a fairy.

Cristina: How are we gonna get a fairy? And how is this like Wakanda? You said Wakanda.

Jack: The North Pole, Santa's workshop and all that crap. That's the town, bro.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: There's snowmen up there.

Cristina: I'm gonna get up there. But with the slave.

Jack: Did we resolve that at all? By the way, I know that there's snowmen up there and whatnot up there in the North Pole. They get made and they go on their quests for survival. Like baby turtles.

Cristina: Sure. What is the thing that needs to be resolved?

Jack: I don't know. I don't remember.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Oh, well. What were you saying?

Cristina: What are we gonna do with the sleigh? We're gonna get the sleigh somehow.

Jack: We need to get the sleigh. But we won't be able to just with Santa visiting. We. Man, he has to be on off. The only way to catch him is when he's not doing Santa stuff. When he's not going super crazy fast.

Cristina: Yeah. So we have to catch him at his home. That means we should get his sleigh to get to his.

Jack: How would we get to his home? And wherever his sleigh is, he's already at.

Cristina: That's why I think we make a bunch of homes with a bunch of trees. Just more. Just more.

Jack: It's not gonna be. We'll never make enough amount. We'll never make enough to catch him. We need to figure out the solution really is just finding out how to strip him of his abilities. Are we the bad guys? By the way, did Hitler sit around the table and they had this Conversation of how do we take them down for no reason. They don't even know we ex. How do we take them down? And they're like, but we're the good guys. Like, did they never really. Was that movie really questioning, like the reality of the matter in the movie? Yeah, the movie. What? They were making fun of it because they had the skull. And they're like, hey guys, are we the best? Are we the bad guys? And it's like, bro, is that how it happens? Like, is that how they did it? They didn't. Like, it never crossed their mind.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: And like we're over here like. Like we're gonna catch walking Santa Claus. People love this guy. He's his s***. He's so cool.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: He just gives people stuff. He makes children happy.

Cristina: Well, we need him to save the world, so that makes us good again.

Jack: It's creator purpose.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: Yeah. To save everybody from the future that.

Cristina: We know that is definitely coming for real, you know?

Jack: Well, maybe we don't actually know the result of my solutions.

Cristina: Yeah. So. But probably we should probably still just in case.

Jack: And also here's. Here's a question. Here's a question as we're getting to the end of this is every time we've time traveled, this feel real, real thing that's been bothering me for like two days now. Every time we've used that time machine, whoever got in, whoever went through, whoever went wherever they're going, when. When you come back, you didn't really come back.

Cristina: No. You're gone from that reality. You're just missing.

Jack: Yeah. You left.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Anytime you go back in time and then forward, you ruined it. You're somewhere else forever.

Cristina: Hopefully. You wrote a letter to your family saying you didn't die. You're just traveling. Actually. They probably think you lost your mind, I guess.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: And killed yourself. And that's why you're missing. Who's gonna believe you actually traveled?

Jack: You actually. Time. That's sick though. Can you imagine that'd be dope to like leave a letter be like, hey, I am totally. I'm gonna go on a trip. Time travel, go into the future. You can see me again in many years. It's gonna be real cool. And then you run away and like leave all your. And you go move to another country or some. And you just focus on looking really young for the next, like 15 years. Really absurdly young. You try. You take photos regularly and you fix any and every problem that you see and go to the come back 15 years later. And you look the same. There's no way they think you killed yourself. You just showed up and you're like, hey, guys, I've been on some crazy adventures through time.

Cristina: Nah, it's crazy. Who would do that? That's awful.

Jack: It's an extremely elaborate why, because you.

Cristina: Made your family believe you're dead?

Jack: No, he never said anything about that. Their negativity took them there.

Cristina: Okay. Then they thought he was crazy.

Jack: Yeah, they thought he was crazy and killed himself.

Cristina: So I don't know. That sounds crazy. I don't know. That's.

Jack: That's on them.

Cristina: Insane.

Jack: You straight up told them in all.

Cristina: 10 years he's gone 15 years.

Jack: 15 years.

Cristina: Nah.

Jack: Yeah, man.

Cristina: Someone do that. That should be for our audience fair.

Jack: But then that's crazy because in X many years, man, we're screwed. Right? So we need to find a. We need to find a trap. A. Some. Some magic thing. A One of the houses. Just one of the houses needs to have or runes of some sort, right? So he needs to come in contact with things. Cold. He's gonna throw coal in places. Does he have to move things around? Does he. What is his routine so that we can like in the middle of his routine, interrupt it with something? He has to come in contact with the cookies. The cookies. And it's too obvious. It's too obviously the way to go. He's probably. How many people tried to kill Santa? Who knows? Maybe all. Every year.

Cristina: There's milk in the mad.

Jack: People putting drugs, trying to get Santa high. People leaving weed cookies out, people lacing cookies with other things. You look crack on top. People putting things in the milk. Drowning the milk in the weirdest things. LSD just squirted into the milk. Rat poison in the milk. People just trying to get at Santa.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: He avoids that. There's nothing you could do to get him to drink that milk.

Cristina: He does and it doesn't affect him. That'd be badass possibility.

Jack: But yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure biological poisons wouldn't work because his magic should be stronger than his humanity.

Cristina: So what's the plan?

Jack: He's gonna come in contact with something that's a fact. He's gonna come down the chimney. That's a great target, but again, an obvious one.

Cristina: What's not on the obvious one? They're all obvious ones.

Jack: Creating a situation in which he would have to come in contact with something.

Cristina: That he wouldn't normally.

Jack: That he wouldn't normally. I know what it could be.

Cristina: What?

Jack: We'll put trackable Nanites, nanobots, you know, tiny little bots, and we can track their location. All we're going to do is put them on the surface of things in one household that he has to visit everywhere.

Cristina: Why didn't we put it on Jesus?

Jack: Because he's going to leave Jesus with you.

Cristina: But if they're nanobytes, they can't go from Jesus to him. We put it on the box. They're just hanging out on the box, spread out everywhere. Yes. Fair enough.

Jack: That just means easy trip backwards.

Cristina: Okay. I think we got to go back to the past.

Jack: Yeah, yeah.

Cristina: And take these nanobites.

Jack: Nanobots.

Cristina: Nanobots. And put down Jesus.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Not him, but the container.

Jack: The container.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. I mean, time traveling is fast, so it's not like we're wasting a bunch of time.

Jack: No, it'll be so instant for us, and we'll come to the now. So that's an easy fix. It'll be like we were gone for a split second. And the question is, will they last the next 2000 years or the previous 2000 years?

Cristina: Okay, let's go to the future and find nanobytes, bots that won't die. Like, they'll just survive anything.

Jack: Then go back into. Put them on Jesus container. Then Santa Claus is gonna grab them.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And then put them.

Cristina: They're gonna be on him.

Jack: They can be on him. Their goal was always Santa. Yes. And they can be on him.

Cristina: And then we'll know his location. We'll know exactly where his workshop is at the end of tonight or tomorrow, I guess, when he goes back home.

Jack: Isn't today. Is that the. Wait, today he's showing up.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Right. So it's.

Cristina: Wait till he gets back home, though, when he's done all the Christmas.

Jack: Yes. And then we can follow him.

Cristina: Yes, Yes.

Jack: I guess you're right. That would be the end of tomorrow. Unless. No. Oh, my God. He's moving faster than we thought. No, he's way. He's way faster. He's way faster. Oh, my God, he's too fast. We've been thinking about this wrong, because Christmas Day, the presents are there. The presents aren't arriving throughout the day throughout the world. No, they're there instantly.

Cristina: Not everywhere instantly. So, like, when it turns 12 at each location, type thing, you know?

Jack: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cristina: Like how New Year's doesn't happen to every place at the same time. Christmas is the same. So some people are getting their presents first.

Jack: Yeah, okay, fair enough, fair enough, fair enough. Yeah, you're totally right. I was thinking he was just hitting everywhere in like a split second and.

Cristina: It'S like, pretty fast.

Jack: Pretty fast.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But literally a day worth. He literally has 24 hours to do it.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: He's just following the time zones essential.

Cristina: Yes. Yeah, that helps.

Jack: He's smart. That's smart.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Man, he's solid, dude. All his plans.

Cristina: But now we have a sick plan.

Jack: We do. We do. You see, this is always a way. There's always a way. This is an easy one, too. That solution is great. Probably use that one in the future again.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You could use that on everything.

Cristina: That's true.

Jack: Just optimize catching s***, man.

Cristina: I feel like we should have probably used this before. There's probably situations. We needed this and so many things.

Jack: But now we. Now we got. Look, let's not look back and be sad. Let's look forward and be happy. We have it now. Anyways, I'm excited for tonight.

Cristina: Ho, ho, ho.

Jack: Santa does it for the hoes.

Cristina: Oh, yes.

Jack: But I'm excited. We're gonna catch him. This is definite. Definite. Well, I don't know if we're gonna catch him. We're gonna know where he is.

Cristina: Yes, that's the plan. We don't. We're not catching him.

Jack: Then we can just go over there and talk to him. He shouldn't just be existing in super speed otherwise. Like, how many years has he lived from his point of view?

Cristina: He's a God.

Jack: He is a guy that could be infinite.

Cristina: Yep. We'll find out.

Jack: We will find out. We could go face to face with this man. Anyways. Anyways. Anyways. You guys can follow us on social media platforms all over the world, but the main ones are Instagram, Twitter and TikTok at just combo pod.

Cristina: And remember to subscribe and review the show.

Jack: Yeah. Leave us reviews. Leave us messages as well. Leave us stars and rates and.

Cristina: Emojis.

Jack: Emojis. And send us millions of dollars in money.

Cristina: And money. That's the only way I let people who might like this show know about it.

Jack: Yeah. People who are curious as to how we're gonna catch Santa. We crack the code. We've accomplished it. We figured it out. We have a plan now.

Cristina: We have a plan.

Jack: We have a plan.

Cristina: This has been the Rambling podcast Take Magnificent ethics for listening.

Jack: Bye.

Cristina: What?

Jack: No. No f****** way. You're making money just to get to work. Holy s***.

Cristina: That is sad.

Jack: That's pathetic. But that's such a high number of people think that this is a. A reasonable, sustainable way to live life. And it's like, what life are you living, dude?

Cristina: I don't know. You can do whatever, but the TV or I guess the phone screen is.

Jack: And it's like, oh, I'm tired. No, you got a lack of motivation. There's a difference. The fact that you can watch TV for however long, you're not tired. You'd go to sleep if you were tired.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The lack of motivation is what has you. You're stressed because you f****** suck it up. Have some discipline.

Cristina: Yes. Do something else.

Jack: Yeah. People are undisciplined. There's a bunch of f****** entitlement. I deserve this. It's like, well, did you try to get it? Are you hoping somebody brings it to you?

Cristina: Like what? Like, they think they should know how to draw when they pick up a pencil or something.

Jack: Yeah, I guess. Yeah. That's an example of just, like, they want success, so I shouldn't have this light? Well, f****** work to get out of there then. The f***?

Cristina: Yeah. Practice.

Jack: Yeah. Do something productive to exit your situation, but just f****** waking up every day and doing the same g****** routine. How the f***?

Cristina: Mm. Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by greatthoughts.info art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth McCallister with social media managed by Amber Black.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. I guess.

Cristina: You guess? I guess what?

Jack: I suppose that's what we do.

Cristina: Are we changing things up?

Jack: Sure. Yeah. Monumental changes. All of the changes that have ever existed.

Cristina: What are the changes? You know, the changes already.

Jack: No, but everything's always changing gradually in tiny little increments. But. But today is some point in December.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: A day of December, you could say. Okay, yeah, a December day. Mid December day, probably early December. Or is it middle? Middle is mid December. It's a mid December day.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And snow is on its way.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Christmas is around the corner.

Cristina: Whether you're gonna continue rhyming.

Jack: I don't know. I was thinking about it, but I don't know what to put there.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: But snow's around the corner.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And we need to go out of something with. Oh, okay. But when we do do that, we need to. I'm thinking. Right. I'm thinking we're talking about Santa Claus and we're talking about cryogenics and, like, the positive. Like, frozen people.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And I'm like, look, we can. Snow's coming. Snow's gonna come all over the place. Snow's definitely gonna come all over the place. And this is an interesting opportunity for us to capture ourselves a frosty. Whatever that might be.

Cristina: The snowman. You want to catch the snowman?

Jack: Well, Frosty Jack Frost. Any. Any of these living snow people snow. They must one. All things considered. Doesn't that just mean. I was thinking, like, it's gonna snow. Since you're, like, gonna spawn around us.

Cristina: They have to make them.

Jack: I don't know. Is that part of the thing? You gotta make them?

Cristina: I think so. They don't make themselves.

Jack: Like there aren't. Just a bit interesting. This would make all of them asexual. I guess it would have to be. And they just make other snowmen. That's why there's more. Unless all the snowmen ever made just run away and join a village of snow people.

Cristina: Yes, but they're always men. They're not asexual. Wait, asexual?

Jack: I mean, yeah, there's no. There's no gender. I guess that's wrong somehow. That's incorrect because there's no females. There's. How do you determine it's a male?

Cristina: It Knows that's probably. It's private. We don't know.

Jack: Interesting point, interesting point. This takes me back to the year was 1817 or something. And scary movie was happening. And the alien cannot have happened that long ago. The alien shook hands with the guy and then like stuck his hand in the guy's mouth or whatever. And then it turns out he pees through his finger.

Cristina: Oh, yes.

Jack: That's his p****.

Cristina: Yes. Okay. I think I remember something like that. Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. This is related.

Cristina: One of those scary movies. It was not 18 something.

Jack: It was probably the third or fourth. 1800s.

Cristina: Scary movie.

Jack: 1800S. What was the earliest movie made?

Cristina: 19. 200. 2000. 2000.

Jack: The earliest movie came out in the year 2000?

Cristina: Yes, that's my guess.

Jack: That's your guess?

Cristina: Yeah. What's your guess? You're really thinking 18, 1912. What are you talking about?

Jack: The earliest movie?

Cristina: Oh, I thought you meant scary movie.

Jack: Oh, no, just movie in general.

Cristina: Oh, I would say.

Jack: Okay, first your question and my question.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Scary movie one, 2001.

Cristina: Okay, that makes sense, right?

Jack: Yeah. 2001. That's my. That's my guess.

Cristina: That was what I was gonna say. I wasn't talking about the first movie. Why would I think the first. The first movie came. That's not scary movie 2000. 2000. Is that my guess? I think that was my guess.

Jack: Yeah, that was your guess. 2000. My guess was 2001.

Cristina: The first movie, though.

Jack: The first movie ever, I believe happened nine. Early 1900s.

Cristina: 1800.

Jack: Think it's 1800s. I am convinced. I say, like I said, 1912. What's your guess?

Cristina: 1850.

Jack: Your guess is 18.

Cristina: 1850. No, that's not a person. That's a person. First freaking movie.

Jack: 1888. Oh, 1888.

Cristina: Oh, look at that. Okay, I wasn't that far off. I said 1850.

Jack: 1850. I think I was closer than you were, I guess. Well, maybe.

Cristina: Maybe 18.

Jack: Yeah, I said 1912. So how far away are you? That would have been 40 to get there. So that's 38. And I.

Cristina: We might have been as far as each other.

Jack: No, I was 32. You were 38.

Cristina: That is not far off.

Jack: That's far off enough.

Cristina: That's six, four years.

Jack: The six years difference. Where's your math at?

Cristina: 30. Oh, yeah. Six years. Six years. Yeah. Yes.

Jack: The six year difference. I was closer by a significant. It wasn't like one. It was notable.

Cristina: Mmm.

Jack: It was like, hey, it's obvious.

Cristina: I feel like if most people guesstimated, it would be not far off from either of us.

Jack: So you think. No, I think people would guess, like, 1940, on average.

Cristina: 1940.

Jack: That's my bet.

Cristina: Yeah, I guess.

Jack: I think that's where people will be like, oh, yeah, sure. Around. Around the world wars. Was there film before the world wars? People don't know. People don't know things. I was still wrong.

Cristina: You're both wrong.

Jack: You thought you were living in a steampunk reality.

Cristina: How wasn't that awful? I. My first numbers were the same.

Jack: Your first numbers were the same.

Cristina: One and eight. I got it there.

Jack: Yeah. Fair.

Cristina: Fair.

Jack: I had no numbers in the comments.

Cristina: Exactly. That's what makes me closer. Okay. No, not. Yeah, but what are you talking about? Which snowman?

Jack: Yeah. So we're gonna catch any kind of snowman. That would be the ultimate, most awesome goal because we got a bunch of things, and I think it would be cool if we could catch one of those things, but I'm not sure what those things are. So I figured we could start learning about what snow is, and that might figure out what the h*** a living snow beings. It's. Man. My question is, here's a thought, right? Christmas Day, Santa Claus is flying around instantaneously because he stopped all of time, making him crazy, overpowered. And in this day, that takes him a literal year to accomplish. Even with magic. He literally visits without outrans every house on Earth, Right.

Cristina: He's in the Speed Force. Like, he's not doing it, like, instantaneously. It takes him a whole day.

Jack: It takes him a year.

Cristina: It takes him a year.

Jack: It takes him a year, but he does it in what looks to us like a day. But he stopped time.

Cristina: Oh, that's what you're thinking.

Jack: He's so overpowered. Yeah. He still has to travel.

Cristina: Do you think he wasted a whole year of his life to do this?

Jack: He lives forever, I guess.

Cristina: But what kind of time warping is that? He's doing a year, but it's for us, one day.

Jack: Yeah. Isn't that how God time works? Like, it felt like a year happened to him, so he managed to do that much s***. But to us, a single day went by. That's how fast, by comparison, he moves.

Cristina: But would that be like fear of the flash? Like, would it feel that way? How long does it take for him to travel? Like, does it feel a year?

Jack: I don't know. That's an interesting question, right? That is interesting here. Does somebody. Do speedsters age faster?

Cristina: I don't think they do, though.

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: Because he's so. I don't know. They don't age him, so it's hard to tell if he's aging. Like, if they saw him, took him to the doctor. How old is his body?

Jack: I don't know. But if Santa Claus lives forever, who lives forever?

Cristina: Doesn't matter how old his body is.

Jack: In this one year's time in his travels, Maybe his sleigh. I don't know what. Something is releasing the magic. It could be him intentionally going up the snowman and being like, boom, now you got life. Maybe his sleigh is just sprinkling magic over random places. When it hits a snowman, boom, it got life.

Cristina: Oh, that could be it.

Jack: Don't know. It could be any. It could be anything. They could just be like, if you make a snowman round enough or some s***. Maybe Earth has a spel spellcast on and like, boom, it just comes to life. I don't know.

Cristina: I don't think he's purposely making snowmen, though.

Jack: Why? You don't think that's part of his army? He has elves. Did he make elves? Did he make deals with elves?

Cristina: Yeah, probably. Why would he need snowmen?

Jack: You think he made them or he made deals with them? Snowmen, no.

Cristina: Elves deals, probably. I don't think he made them, but I don't think he has anything to do with snowmen.

Jack: But I also think he's so overpowered, maybe he could make elves. I don't know. Well, his power is mainly knowledge, and that's so overpowered. Knowledge and immortality and some.

Cristina: Some sort of time making elves.

Jack: But why would there be stories? This setup could have existed before anybody knew about it. And when they found out, like, the history of it was already lost. How long must have Santa Claus have been working in secrecy before anybody conceived of him. And it's probably somebody who was there and ran away. He was rural as f***.

Cristina: Nobody's finding him just a type of fairy. Why would he be making them elves?

Jack: I don't. Are we sure they're a type of fairy? That's the question, right?

Cristina: Yes, for sure. I think so.

Jack: His elves. North Pole elves. I think here's a problem. They're just tiny people, but they're magical tiny people, but they're also abnormally tiny. They're like below dwarf.

Cristina: Elves are like, very. I don't know.

Jack: But these are elves like the other elves. Elves are usually really tall.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Yeah. Elvens are very tall.

Cristina: Leprechauns, I don't. There's fairies.

Jack: The leprechaun is not an elf.

Cristina: It's a type of fairy. They're all types of fairies.

Jack: No, yeah, I know. The leprechaun is definitely a type of fairy.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's unrelated to a North Pole elf.

Cristina: Yeah. Which could be different from other elves that are tall. Like, it could be a different tree or whatever.

Jack: Wait, so you're saying even like Lord of the Ring elves are fairies?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: They don't have magic. Do they have magic?

Cristina: I don't know if they have magic, but they're a type of fairy.

Jack: Wait, no. But like, a signature thing of fairiness is magic. You can't just be a fairy and not have magic. Then where the. Like, what are you then how.

Cristina: They're all. But if you look at the lore of Ireland, all the different creatures, they're all just types of fairies, which are elves and dwarves and leprechauns and all that stuff.

Jack: Yes, but when they mean elves, they mean Lord of the Ring elves, not Santa Claus elves. This is what I'm thinking. I'm thinking it's like the problem with calling a Native American an Indian and somebody from India an Indian is because one Native American is the right word here.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That allows also the distinction of. Well, then when you say Indian, you mean those people. That's the same logic that's happening here.

Cristina: But there are some elves that behave like the elves in the North Pole. Like the ones that want to fix your shoes.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Aren't they almost the same in that way that they just want to make something?

Jack: But is that an elf or a dwarf?

Cristina: I don't know. It's a fairy. It's a tiny.

Jack: It's a fairy. That's what I'm saying. That's a fairy type. That's a fairy for sure. But that's just a tiny person. Stop generalizing tiny people. He is just a tiny person with magic. That doesn't necessarily mean that the tiny people with magic that we're calling elves are one even related to fairy elves. I think Santa Claus is using the wrong word. Or this is human error.

Cristina: Human error.

Jack: And we're calling them elves. But they're not elves. There's some other s***, because I don't this. We're hard pressed to even believe they're biological.

Cristina: What do you mean?

Jack: Like, are they living things?

Jack: If you were to kill an elf, do you kill an elf? If you rip it open, is your blood is like. Or is it like a drone?

Cristina: I don't know. Because they are just making stuff. Do they eat? Do they sleep? Do they drink? I don't know. They do anything. Do they do anything?

Jack: Are they all Edward Scissorhands? Interesting. We don't actually know.

Cristina: Okay, okay.

Jack: We know so little about those. Which in any case, if Santa Claus did make a bunch of elves, this is entire point of this was to say that he wouldn't. He could be out there also making a bunch of snowmen.

Cristina: But why? I don't know, because like snowmen makes sense. If Santa Claus couldn't see already what you're doing, but he already has that power. And that would be the power of snowman to see what you're doing. Yeah. Like, yeah, if he were to use the snowman.

Jack: You're saying snowmen are watchtowers?

Cristina: Yes. If he didn't already have the ability to know everything. Exactly.

Jack: Everything.

Cristina: So then what's the point? Why would he need snowmen? Like, what else could he use them for? That would be the reason to use them.

Jack: I don't know. Why would that be the only reason? Maybe.

Cristina: Oh, that's all he was acting of.

Jack: He could be. That could be his equivalent of Krampus. And it's like the. Think about it. None of these snowmen turn out well. There's just a lot of bad news attached to snow. Sentient snowman.

Cristina: I haven't heard of any.

Jack: There's only one. The hero. The hero of the snowman.

Cristina: You only hear the good story.

Jack: Frosty the Snowman.

Cristina: He's a friendly snowman.

Jack: Yeah, he's the only one.

Cristina: What about Jack Frost? He said Jack Frost.

Jack: Jack Frost is a killer.

Cristina: No, he's not. Yeah, he's just a dad who died and became a snowman. That's not him.

Jack: Oh, you were thinking. Thinking Michael Keaton comedy dad. I guess. That's all. I guess. Okay, fair enough. There's two. Fair enough. There's two good snowmen.

Cristina: Okay, there you go.

Jack: But every other snowman is a murderer.

Cristina: How many other snowmen are there?

Jack: Well, there's Jack Frost, I guess. The alternate universe.

Cristina: Jack Frost that murders.

Jack: Yeah, he's a killer. The original Jack Frost is a horror movie.

Cristina: He's an actual snowman.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: And he actually goes around killing people.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: What?

Jack: You see, there's a bunch of them.

Cristina: But are there more than there are of good snowmen? And also, what would be the purpose of having evil snowmen?

Jack: What do you mean? What would be the purpose of having evil snowmen?

Cristina: Santa Claus having good snowmen and bad snowmen. What would be the purpose?

Jack: I think probably they're made to be bad. That's why. That's the majority the minority would be where he goes wrong. I don't think he'd be doing something in which it's.

Cristina: But why would he need them?

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: Because he already has Krumpus.

Jack: Is he working with Krampus or is that guy trying to steal business?

Cristina: No, they work together for a fact. Yes. He tells him who are the bad kids.

Jack: Right. Krampus is like his assistant or something. Yeah, or his first in command. Assistant is a demeaning word for his job. He is the first in command.

Cristina: So then why would he need snowmen? Like.

Jack: Yes, they must be performing. They must be performing different jobs.

Cristina: I don't think he'd want people dead though.

Jack: Maybe he's not killing them. So then let's think about it. Let's think about it. That would be the logical next step. We know children make them okay. What is the importance is that the Santa Claus also make them screw. How they come to life? Where are they being built? Does he spawn them as snowmen? And kids are imitating what they've seen. Is that what's happening? They got passed through tradition. Is that part of his mind fuckery? Like getting everybody scared?

Cristina: She has nothing to do with these snowmen.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: The first snowman had nothing to do. Like what story links snowmen to Santa? If you watch their history.

Jack: Besides, imagine the fact that it's happening on Christmas.

Cristina: It's not just happening on Christmas. It just happens to happen around the Christmas time because. No.

Jack: So you're telling me Frosty only forms when there's snow? Not when there's snow on Christmas?

Cristina: No, definitely not. It's probably before Christmas. Not on the exact Christmas day. He's around long enough to see Christmas Day probably hold up.

Jack: Maybe not.

Cristina: Maybe not.

Jack: Maybe not. There's a song we can actually reference. And we know all the people who write music are connected to the dark world one way or another. But I'm thinking of white Christmas. They're already discussing hoping for snow on Christmas day. That's an actual. That's a point in which two things have crossed.

Cristina: But do they mention Frosty? Like what does that relate.

Jack: Well, all we know is Christmas plus snow. What other instance of snow do we have? Is there something else weird happening with snow? Because he's mentioning Christmas, which is the weird day and snow. The only thing we know relative to snow is snowmen as of now. So something about snowman and Christmas. Boom. That's where they gain life. An assumption, I'm guessing.

Cristina: What? Okay.

Jack: But that's the only connection we have.

Cristina: I Don't think so. I don't know that it's weird. I don't think because they don't. They're around when Christmas happens, but I don't think it relates.

Jack: I think every story involving a killer snowman is happening nearest not just when it snowed. We're not talking January 15th. We're talking always. Always like a day before or of Christmas. Always, I assure you. Okay, so I'm right about before, but.

Cristina: Yeah, it happens a week before Christmas.

Jack: Interesting. Did I guess why was before? Is there an instance of after? Is there like a January?

Cristina: No, I don't think so. It has to be December. There's something magical about the month December. Yes, because Christmas. It has to do with Christmas. But I don't know if it has to do with Santa because also Jesus is.

Jack: Yeah, the Christmas is only a special day that was originally chosen in order to celebrate Jesus in some manner, shape or form. And it had nothing to do in the first first place with Santa Claus. I think that was superimposed later.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: So it's December. There's something about December.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But there is a guy who turned out to be Santa Claus. That's happening. He just happens. So whoever the h*** is Santa Claus is also using the magic of this just takes it more likely than it really is. Probably just St. Nicholas and he figured out some hole in the matrix. He figured out the fear system and he also figured out to do it on the most exaggeratedly magical month.

Cristina: Oh, duh. Okay.

Jack: Thus maximizing his.

Cristina: It's magical and prob.

Jack: Now here's a. Holy s***. Okay, now I'm convinced these aren't real elves. Like Elvens. I think that they are just magic. And here's the horrifying part of it. They probably only exist during December. And then they're just f****** blinked out. Because the magic that's keeping them, that's sustaining them, is just gone.

Cristina: You're saying it takes them just December to make the presents? It takes them 25 days or 24 days? 23.23days to make everything. That's kind of crazy. That's intense.

Jack: How many of them must there be to supply the world?

Cristina: But how is he getting that much magic? That's crazy.

Jack: It's the month he somehow figured. So we're talking about a super mega genius who's cracked so many different approaches to getting magic and energy through every mean all the means possible. Thus becoming the most godly God. But having existed only 200 years, maybe 300 at most.

Cristina: But you still think he's connected to the snowman.

Jack: I do.

Cristina: But why?

Jack: Because. I don't know. Somehow it's been connected to Christmas. Somehow. Some. There is at least the loosest connection. That's for a fact. I know that's a fact.

Cristina: Because it's the same month.

Jack: It's connected to the same month. For sure. They're both things in December.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But Christmas and Frosty the Snowman song and White Christmas, talking about snow and like, there's. There's a really loose connection about something involving snowmen or snow. At least snow, bare minimum. But there's magical month, and there's this weird day also. What the h*** is happening on the 25th? It's Christmas. But what energy source is beneath this that makes it the most optimal day for Santa? That's another thing we haven't thought about.

Cristina: What.

Jack: What's happening with 25 December that makes it the. Like, that's the peak.

Cristina: It's actually December 4th. Because the kids are praying on December 4th for their gifts.

Jack: No, I'm saying when he delivers them.

Cristina: Because when he delivers them, there's no magic. There's nothing. The optimum would be beforehand. That's giving him all the energy. The kids the day before, stressing, praying, hoping, all the stuff that they've been.

Jack: No, no. He's been gathering energy the entire time.

Cristina: Yeah. It's so much more the day before.

Jack: Well, he still hoards that energy rather than using it. Something about the. I think the 25th. Because you're not going to use that energy and then wait for the 25th. You want all of it. You use the bare minimum to hear their prayers and everybody. You see everything. Well, I guess you're always doing that part. Yeah, but then you need to get it. You need to stop all of time, get everywhere, all at the same time. In what seems like the switch between 11:59 and 12:00am the next morning, December 24 and December 25, in that change from one minute to another, you need to have began and ended your entire journey. That's when you need the energy. When people are like, am I gonna get the coal?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Or am I gonna get the gift? As opposed to when you're praying for. You're like. Well, now you're hopeful. You're also thinking about.

Cristina: But there's no way. Frosty. I just can't think that the snowman, because they're killers, he's not interested in blood sacrifices. As long as. As we can tell, Sansa is not a bloodthirsty monster like everything else. Unless he is. Because then that's what Frosty would say. That's like if he was in control of Frosty.

Jack: Okay, okay. No, you're totally right. Interesting point, Interesting point. Alright, so maybe, maybe he's not related in the way we think he's related. So he is related, but he didn't make them. Think about it like this. Just because he doesn't need to take a life doesn't mean he gives a s*** about life. Those are two very different things. Now he has come across this amazing energy source that makes him overpowered. There's no threat to him, period. Yeah, most overpowered anything that's ever existed. And maybe he didn't make the elves either. Maybe that there. He cut them in on the deal, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Okay, why wouldn't he cut in the snowmen? Maybe they're just coming to life. Maybe that's how it works. I don't know. Maybe there's different ways of reproducing. I don't understand how it works. But maybe a perfect enough snowman just, you know, poof, I'm alive now. And maybe in order to sustain themselves, they need to have blood that immediately gives them the immortality and they won't melt away or something.

Cristina: I don't know. Because that would just mean he is a blood drinking monster too.

Jack: No, that doesn't mean he's a blood drinking monster. Why would that mean he is?

Cristina: He'd be cool. Why?

Jack: Why would he care?

Cristina: I don't know. The cloud people care because it just gives them a bad name. So wouldn't the snowman give him a bad name?

Jack: Well, you just entirely defended their division, which seems to be working. So if they do work together, at least it's working that they're keeping it secret.

Cristina: Ah, okay.

Jack: So there's no problem whose image is being ruined if you come, you yourself saw no connection between them, so that whatever they're hiding it. Well, they have successfully completed their mission. Okay, so he can still, you know, and it's more fear for him.

Cristina: Yes, but then would he not want that blood too?

Jack: He's not gonna mess himself up. He stays in control by not having the. The adrenochrome is the problem. Creatures that live off of the fear are still themselves.

Cristina: Creatures that what?

Jack: Creatures that live off of fear alone are just fine. Yeah, they don't change, they don't alter.

Cristina: No, we don't. There's stories about evil Santas out there too. So was that Krampus? And people are getting them confused.

Jack: Well, the argument would be people are in Disbelief of Santa and are like, that's. That must be some other thing. That's not Santa Claus. But maybe like he's f****** God, dude. What the h*** does he care enter your house and kill you as much as enter your house and leave your present. It's all the same to him.

Cristina: Okay. What?

Jack: He relies on the fear which requires the vast majority of people to be alive. But he could just be like, screw this town. I'mma just extinct everybody here.

Cristina: I guess he could do that.

Jack: Like why? Who's stopping him? Why would he care that they're trying to stop him? Boom. Slowed down time around you. Now there's nothing you could do.

Cristina: Yeah, but still, it's really hard to imagine the Snowman and him having to do with anything with each other. But it's possible. But I just. There's no stories of them hanging out, is there?

Jack: No, but we do know that there's a lot of north poliness to Frosty and stuff like that, so. And all these things about Santa Claus and Frosty hanging out, there are like images. There are, you know, ideas people have had about hanging out. Where are they getting these ideas from? Where does again, there's something planted the seed.

Cristina: But he also seems to be hanging out with magical deers and yes, the snowman guy. Not the snowman, the Bigfoot, but snowy.

Jack: Oh, wait, Yeti.

Cristina: Yeti the friend. The snowman.

Jack: I mean Santa, the abominable snowman. Yeah, yeah, that's Yeti. Okay, so yeah, so Santa Claus hangs out with magical things consistently.

Cristina: But does that mean he's making them?

Jack: Well, no, at this point we're thinking he's not making them. This is just a different creature. These creatures. Creatures are becoming sentient and they are maintaining their life force through adrenochrome.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That'S the trick. And he. Santa directs them. Not necessarily directs them, but you know, on this magical month, I will cut you in on the fear thing. And there's. I mean, I guess here's a problem, right? Somebody like Frosty is benefiting off of the fear. That's his connection to Santa Claus. But somebody like Jack Frost, the murderer, not the dad, go. I mean, I guess a murderer could be a dad too. Yeah, I guess it's the same s***. But anyways, point being that Jack Frost the murderer could in theory just have gone rogue and just like f*** it. We're all. There's probably a bunch of them. There's probably a bunch of so many snowmen. Some of them have to be killers and they have to. We spot Those?

Cristina: Yeah, that's all that's happening. No one takes care of them in the snow world or whatever. There's no policing.

Jack: Well, no. Then we'd see snowmen chasing snowmen in the streets. Those snowmen are taking blood. Where is the only place they can take blood from? They can't eat an elf. An elf is maybe just magic.

Cristina: Yeah. And Sam, what about the deer?

Jack: Are the deer deer? Are the deer magic?

Cristina: Because they could be magical deer that they would still have blood.

Jack: Yeah, but then are they more creatures?

Cristina: Not bloody.

Jack: Are they more magical than the snowmen? Because I'm pretty sure. And like, wouldn't that make them way too overpowered if they had magic? D***. I would have considered magic. Adrenochrome.

Cristina: What does that mean? Isn't adrenochrome magical?

Jack: Well, adrenochrome gives abilities. I don't know if it's magical, but if you had the adrenaline filled blood of a magical creature, that's way different than just having the adrenaline filled blood of a non magical creature.

Cristina: No, no, because then they'd be hunting each other. Like why would they be interested in us at all if we're like nothing compared to them? If they got the good blood first.

Jack: The snowmen don't have blood.

Cristina: No, I'm talking about magical creatures in general. Anything that comes from the other place doesn't have blood. You're saying none of those things have blood?

Jack: Yeah, because it's not even really a physical place.

Cristina: Or what about the things here that have adrenochrome? They're not like out killing each other. They're just getting more. Attacking people. Regular people.

Jack: Yeah. So this is the trick. This is the trick. You're talking about a creature that had blood that wasn't magical. It was just adrenochrome then eating the blood of a different creature that's had adrenochrome but also isn't magical. That's very different than tasting adrenochrome made of the blood of something magical. I'm sure those things probably just kill each other or just other magical things.

Cristina: But then the deers would be killing each other. Right? Because then what's the point?

Jack: I'm sure they've killed. Gotten rid of any. I'm sure in those cases they get rid of them almost instantaneously. We have seen cases of that. Think of the clouds.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: They make sure the problem isn't their problem.

Cristina: But it's not supposed to use new deers every year. Because that's gonna be a problem.

Jack: No. Why are There. Deer just actively drinking blood because aren't.

Cristina: They attracted to it? I don't know.

Jack: What? They're just magic?

Cristina: They're just magic.

Jack: Why would. Is he injecting them with a. I don't understand how they're getting the first taste and then immediately becoming addicted.

Cristina: That's not how it works. I don't know.

Jack: No, they're just deer. Where do we get to the deers taking hella adrenochrome.

Cristina: Okay. I don't know. They're. They're not adrenochrome deers. Okay.

Jack: No, the snowmen are maybe.

Cristina: Maybe. Okay.

Jack: The ones who are killing, at least.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Or maybe there's something particular about the people they're killing. Maybe they're moral. Maybe this is a moral act, and we're like, oh, they're evil for killing, but it's like, maybe they're killing killers. I don't know. Maybe they're Dexter.

Cristina: No, I don't think so. I don't know. Nah. Because then that makes it feel like then, yeah, they're working for Santa.

Jack: If they're killing killers.

Cristina: Yes. If they're killing for the good and Santa likes to punish bad and do good for good, they'd be doing that.

Jack: He sounds more like Baphomet to some degree. He's just very fair. If you're a douche, I will be a douche back to you. If you're kind, I will be kind to you.

Cristina: Yeah, but if he has the snowmen doing the same thing, well, maybe there's.

Jack: Extra bad and then there's extra good. The elves are the creatures that make the thing. Whatever you can imagine imagine, they'll come up with. Meanwhile, the snowmen, whatever nightmare you can have, they'll recreate Freddy Krueger style.

Cristina: I don't know how many people are.

Jack: Horrified of snowmen, the ones getting murdered by them.

Cristina: There's not that many evil snowmen.

Jack: Well, we don't know that that's a question. We just know about the famous ones. How many don't we know about?

Cristina: Oh, I don't know, because I guess they can't really be everywhere anyway, because even in places that snow, you still need enough snow.

Jack: Yes. They'll only show up when there's enough snow, and then they immediately begin their journey the f*** out of there to somewhere. Like, there are two locations that they go. Up north or down south of Earth. Yeah, that's where they live. They have to go there. So the journey begins immediately, and it is like baby turtles. When baby turtles are born.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And it's like, huge probability they're not making it.

Cristina: The majority down south, that's too much hot before the cold.

Jack: Well, no, the ones down south would be going down south from the south of the equator. That would be the nearest cold spot for them.

Cristina: Okay. But they gotta travel through water in.

Jack: Most cases, even up here. North. Most of us have to travel through water to get to the most north. North.

Cristina: I guess. Don't know.

Jack: But they'll figure it out. Boats and s***. They'll still be. They'll still be. I don't know. I don't think it's like. Like a silver surfer type of abilities that he could just create an ice surface.

Cristina: It's actually probably just ice up there to travel through.

Jack: Yeah, he's probably just looking like, sliding over ice.

Cristina: Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. It's weird because, like, why wouldn't the penguins kill them?

Jack: Well, no, it depends, man. Maybe the penguins are used to this.

Cristina: Penguins are just.

Jack: It's possible the penguins are further out in the North Pole. But no, because they're still protecting from people getting at least to Santa. And Santa should be dead center. And then is the other side of.

Cristina: The wall, the snowman. I mean, the penguins aren't protecting Santa. They're protecting people from crossing.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: The outer.

Jack: Into the humans.

Cristina: Humans? Oh, just humans.

Jack: Yeah. We cross all the time, huh?

Cristina: Yes. Yes. Okay.

Jack: Humans. Just humans.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: It's important that humans don't know the truth. I don't know why, but it's in. It's beyond our pay grade. Okay, but humans are supposed to just be ignorant to things.

Cristina: But.

Jack: Yeah. So the snowmen make the trek. That's interesting. Right? So they're born a kid. Unwilling group of kids. Unwilling unknowing. Unknowing group of children make a snowman.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And it's perfect enough. And it's just sitting there. And then one kid is like, oh, I know what to do. Put a hat on it.

Cristina: And then.

Jack: And then for whatever. It's a hat. That gives him magic, right? Some combination.

Cristina: Some combination, yes. But those are good snowmen. Bad snowmen are more like Chucky the doll.

Jack: Well, maybe those are the killers. Maybe it's not adrenochrome. Maybe it's deformity and retardation or something. You know, maybe it's just a crazy monster of some sort of. He's just an animal.

Cristina: An animal?

Jack: Yeah. Some sort of a feral creature. I guess that's because it's made incorrectly. And then the closer to perfect you are. The more round, the more precise, the more like sentience you have. Maybe that's the bar. Right. The genetic handout. Their genetic handout is. Well, one, that makes every human that's ever made a snowman God.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And two, that is the. The level of the human that made them's ability, usually an older human. And also, and also, humans have one of the longest lifespans of all creatures on earth, aside from reptiles. We're like, okay. No, we're just up there, up there. To a lot of things, we're the f****** elves.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: To a dog, we're the elves will outlive all their generations. They'd have one when you were born. And that dog dies in your early 20s. But you have their children's children's children already.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: What, 50 years later you still got their children's children's children's children. There's tales that went down that dog's timeline and family history about how these elves have always been in our lives.

Cristina: But how does that relate to the snowmen?

Jack: Well, to snowmen, the humans that make them usually outlive most of them by quite a significant margin. Snowmen on average live maybe two days.

Cristina: Really? I was thinking like a month.

Jack: Well, depends on the snow. Oh, fair enough. Some weeks, you know, the most they could ever live without completing the journey is three months. The most, like record breaking. It's got to be less. I'm saying the most. The top end of like the coldest, most impossibly insufferable amount of cold. Yeah, a month in our area at least. Yeah, in our area. A month in the places up north where it never stops snowing. Many of them survive, but the closer to the equator, like, the equator's the nightmare. To the f******. It's a place they literally couldn't see. They could literally never make it. It would be impossible.

Cristina: But if there was traveling snowmen, wouldn't that be a story?

Jack: The stories of the equators.

Cristina: Huh?

Jack: The story of the equator. What?

Cristina: Story of traveling snowmen.

Jack: Well, no, they all go to the same place away from people.

Jack: Why would humans tell the tales of creatures that only have stories to tell if they've made it out of our reach?

Cristina: It's just these stories with the snowmen. They're all hanging out wherever they're at, wherever they were made. They're not leaving town, just. This is my home now.

Jack: Interesting, because they just come to sentience at random. Maybe the journey only begins when they realize what's gonna happen. So they come to the conclusion that oh far.

Cristina: That's probably why so many of them die. So many dead snowmen.

Jack: They always. Yes. Anywhere that there's heat that comes after the cold. Because up north again, that's where most of them come from. Most of them come from up north. And most of them go further north. Or at least stay north enough so that they can never be just melted out one day.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That's where they exist. But some of them show up with a tail. Oh no. I was born down south. The s*** I have been through to get here. Oh, your life couldn't comprehend. Your tiny little privileged brain born up here in the snow covered plains. You can comprehend what it's like running from the sun.

Cristina: There's no way a snowman can have existed for that long, could have traveled that far.

Jack: Why you just gotta make it before the temperature gets to the point that you would die. Most of them fail.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But any of them that figure out the conclusion and it's like zero degrees outside, couldn't make it from far enough. And again there's a million places where snow never ends and where it's always cold and it's never hot enough to melt.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And those snowmen are perfectly fine. In fact they just go north anyways for safety's sake. But still.

Cristina: But there's nothing besides that they're made from magic. They're not magical as far as I can tell.

Jack: It seems to be that that's magic is their. Whatever their life force is the same way that we. Like the soul is the word we came up with for whatever thing powers us. Yeah, we don't know what powers us. Which is a weird thought of its own. But yeah, we don't know what powers us. We just. We work. The same thing happens. So magic seems to be like the. At the core of a snowman. But other than the fact that they are made or magic is pumping through their veins, they don't seem magical. There's somehow this being this very grounded, very real.

Cristina: That's why I don't think they're traveling. Because most of the times when you see a snowman. I don't know about the killer snowman, but is he moving? Because like I'm thinking of the other snowman and I think his kids had to move him around.

Jack: You're thinking of the fatherly Jack Frost.

Cristina: Yeah, like he can't actually travel. I don't think Frosty could either. I think they're just. Unless they're like in frozen. They have a snowman. Does he travel around? I don't know. I think so, but I think he has no feet. Maybe. I don't know. I have no idea what.

Jack: But yeah, like, mechanically it wouldn't make sense. Right. Like, how would his legs move if they're made of snow?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And I'm sure sticks wouldn't support the weight of the snow built like that.

Cristina: And also, like, wouldn't they just slowly lose the snow that they're made of even if they were just rolling or not rolling?

Jack: But no, if they plop themselves over and over, they'll gather snow.

Cristina: If they plop.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: That means they have to pick themselves up.

Jack: Yeah. And put themselves down. So that's an interesting way to move. But if they could. If their hands could support the weight, then they could just make legs. If their arms made of sticks could support the weight of the three different sections put together enough to move in a hopping motion, then definitely he could just make legs because they could already support the weight.

Cristina: There's no way. Because those arms are so thin, they just break if you try to do anything with them.

Jack: Then maybe this is where the magic.

Cristina: Comes in, keeping them together.

Jack: Yeah. Maybe there is magic happening. Once they come to life. The only thing that could get rid of them is the sun.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: They're not just normal snow anymore.

Cristina: But they can melt.

Jack: They can melt. They just can't be melted by anything but the exaggerated power of the sun, which is why the sun, like light to a vampire. Sunlight to a vampire.

Cristina: But they can't go inside houses either, though.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Melt them.

Jack: Well, this is an interesting point. Right? A snowman can't go inside of house. Maybe. One, we have way less stories about a snowman. Two, why are there suddenly two things that align between a snowman and vampire?

Cristina: Yes. They like blood.

Jack: Some snowmen like blood.

Cristina: So.

Jack: And snowman can't enter a house. We're thinking because you'll melt, but also you need. Do you need to ask permission, bro? Is just the coincidence that you can't go in a house? Just saying. It's probably unrelated. Just an observation. Yes, but yeah. So the probably melt.

Cristina: They'll probably melt. I don't know.

Jack: Unless they don't.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Because again, is this magical snow being kept together by the magic? And now you need magic to beat it. And that would just argue that the sun is magic. And we know the sun is sentient at its own scale, but that's just a creature.

Cristina: Mmm. Okay. And that's why it's killing them off. But then, I don't know. That makes it complicated.

Jack: It's not trying to kill it off. It's just really overpowered. It's not trying to give a s*** about anything. At least not that would make sense to us.

Cristina: Yeah. What? I guess I don't know. I don't know enough about these killer snowmen, though, to say, like, they're. How magical they really are or whatever.

Jack: They're magical enough that I believe that they now, when this magic life force hits them, they're not just pure snow anymore. Because, again, these arms are moving, this head is moving. It's not functioning the way snow would. It immediately stops being the case.

Cristina: Well, it comes to the serial killer. Jack Frost, though. He's like a mutant, so he's human. And snowman.

Jack: Fair enough. But how does Frosty move? That's the question.

Cristina: How does Frosty move? Like in a Frosty movie?

Jack: Yeah. Or in a video.

Cristina: A video.

Jack: Okay. Okay. When I said that those other snowmen that were incomplete were. I said that without knowing that there were actually retarded snowmen like Frosty.

Cristina: Like Frosty in the Legend of Frosty.

Jack: In the legend of frosty 2005 movie that we're watching.

Cristina: 2021. Oh, wait, 2005. Oh, it was. Okay. I see YouTube. Okay, whatever.

Jack: Yeah. So you guys can go look at that. Frosty. And I feel really. I. I take back my statements. I publicly say I apologize to all the snow that I may have heard my previous comments before I realized that there was a community of very slow snowmen. Now.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Moving beyond that very necessary apology to snow people.

Cristina: This has so much more questions. It's a magical hat, not a magical snowman.

Jack: Well, there are many snowmen, which means there are, in fact, two different things. And there's a magical hat moving around. Now I see a connection. The Santa Claus. I don't know why, but there is magic and there is hat. Maybe not the Santa Claus. Again, to the magic of December. Yes, but this isn't the magic of December the way the other snowmen are. Those are unrelated. Apparently, snowmen come to life and just start murdering people. Except for this one snowman that gets.

Cristina: The hat and becomes a pedophile.

Jack: Yeah, like a really dangerous individual. But no, he seems to be a good guy, which is the important part.

Cristina: Mm. So who smokes? He smokes Pipe thing.

Jack: And how is the heat not killing him? That's the magic.

Cristina: All the magic. Okay.

Jack: This kind of proves the argument. He actually could go in a house and not melt. So he's not going in a house for a different reason.

Cristina: Mmm. This guy has Arms and legs.

Jack: This guy.

Cristina: No one made those arms or legs. He was just born that.

Jack: Yes. My argument for other snowmen are.

Cristina: It's scary.

Jack: My argument for other snowmen are that the arms and legs also manifests once you have the proper assortment. The general. But I don't get how frosty. No, man. It could be just for Frosty, but the mutant, a snowman had arms and legs, even if it's a mutant.

Cristina: Yeah, it's a freaking human skull.

Jack: Yeah, it was kind of weird.

Cristina: That's so scary. Does it have arms and legs, though, of a human? I'll look at images we should look at. I think he has arms. I don't know.

Jack: Yeah, I guess he does.

Cristina: But he does. Like, his arms look like they're built inside him. Like his arms aren't actually doing things. Although he is killing. I just don't know how because his arms don't look like they can move.

Jack: Yeah. So that's a pretty snowman. Snowman. That's basically just a snowman. It's just a snowman that kills. It looks almost identical to Frosty, just.

Cristina: More rounded out arms. But he doesn't have the legs.

Jack: Well, we don't know that. I'm assuming that's how he's getting around. Or again, his snow is just not coming off somehow. And he is moving. And somehow he's actually sliding with magic. He has to be sliding, right?

Cristina: Yes. I don't know. But then why did the other guy need his son to travel to get him to go to places and stuff?

Jack: Well, he wasn't a genius. Oh, and also, he isn't looking. He's not looking for the efficiency of murder. But whatever's happening with this Jack Frost and with Frosty, they have legs, they have arms, they're there, they got limbs. So they could definitely make the journey.

Cristina: But I don't know. There's no stories about it. But I guess there wouldn't be. I don't know.

Jack: It's kind of worked out pretty nice. And there are stories. There are literally stories of snowmen, but only the ones that stick around. Yes, because the other ones are on the move on a desperate journey to get to the top. Chances are the more north you go, the more stories there are about snowmen just chilling or passing by.

Cristina: I don't know, maybe.

Jack: Maybe stories of the snowmen that hang out. A town of snowmen up north. There's a town of snowmen up north.

Cristina: Huh? Isn't there a town near Santa or something? Or is that where the elves live? I Don't know who lives there.

Jack: Maybe there's a town near Santa, up north.

Cristina: Yeah, perhaps. Who lives in that town? Is it humans? The snowman?

Jack: May. I don't know. It could be. I'm sure there's a bunch of towns up there of different magical creatures surrounding Santa's thing. Then again, snowmen just need snow, as far as I know. Maybe I'm just being a racist. I don't know.

Cristina: They get hungry.

Jack: They live in huts. They live in snow huts. They live in igloos. That doesn't even make sense. An igloos to keep you warm.

Cristina: They don't live in anything.

Jack: Why? Because they're savages?

Cristina: No, because they don't need to.

Jack: How do you know? How do you know they don't want privacy?

Cristina: Trees don't need anything.

Jack: Well, they can. Trees aren't walking around. How do you know they don't want privacy? How do you know he doesn't want to rub his carrot?

Cristina: What?

Jack: He wants to rub his carrot and not be watched.

Cristina: There's no way. No. Anyways, is that what makes them male? Is it the carrot nose or whatever? Nose?

Jack: No, I think they're asexual. There's only snowmen. There's no snow women. But I don't think we. I don't think we've learned any more or less what snowmen are. But not fair enough. I do think we've come to. We've unraveled some good magical. They're definitely magic to some degree. They seem to have arms and legs. We don't really know if they work for Santa or with Santa, but we know that December is the magic. And so I guess the ultimate conclusion is all the snowmen that are alive. That's why not all snowmen. Right? It has to be snowmen that are built in December. Snowmen built in December come to life.

Cristina: We don't know if there are any that are born outside of December. We just know about the stories of the ones that were born in December.

Jack: Fair enough. So you're telling me it's possible anywhere there's snow? Consistently, yes.

Cristina: But if there's no one around in those places, how would we know?

Jack: Well, no, people have to build. There has to be somebody. Because the snowman has to be built. Unless snowmen are building a snowman.

Cristina: No. Okay, never mind. No, because it has to be people. Has to be people.

Jack: It has to be people. The only. The only creature that seems to do that is humans. Making us the gods of snowmen.

Cristina: Yeah. What if there is a movie where snowman is making another snowman. I don't know.

Jack: Asexuality. But look, anyways, that's not asexuality. That is asexual. They reproduce asexually.

Cristina: Is that still. Is that the right word?

Jack: Yes, they reproduce asexually. They do not require a partner. They don't have a sexual need in order to reproduce. But anyways, the point is that that's what we learned. That's we've achieved some level of information.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah, but we ran out of time. So we have to uncover more in the future. More about these snowmen in the future. And, like, look, hit us up, talk to us, message us. You can do that on all our socials at JustConvopod.

Cristina: And you could subscribe, rate and review the show.

Jack: Yeah, you could leave us a lovely review with numbers and snowmen. And snowmen. Ooh, there's probably snowman emojis.

Cristina: Yeah. And Santa presents a Christmas tree.

Jack: A Christmas tree.

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

Jack: Yes. Word of mouth is very important. And you can share this as the. The Christmas episode. No, it's not. We're gonna have a better.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: I don't know. Whatever happens, happens. We're still trying to catch Santa Claus.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Maybe that's a Christmas episode.

Cristina: This has been the Rambling podcast. Take nothing personal and thanks for listening. Why is it that important?

Jack: I don't know, man. People, like, live their lives surrounding a television. It's hard for people to do other. Like, they have a hard day's work, go home and watch tv, and it's like, right, but what are you doing to advance you in the world?

Cristina: But then that's what they replaced. They replace their TV with their phone. But they're just watching stuff on their phone.

Jack: Just watching stuff on their phone? Yeah, it's the same s*** people have. They're not doing anything. Yeah, a lot of people are not doing anything. They leave work, so they made somebody else money. You benefited someone else. You get home and then how did you benefit you? Oh, you didn't benefit you. You just waited to the next day to benefit that other guy again.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: No, that's wrong. It should be some for them, some for you, some for them, some for you, some for them, some for you, and then you've established balance. Not some for them. I go home and wait for tomorrow to give them some more. So what the f***?

Cristina: Convince yourself of that.

Jack: That makes sense.

Cristina: That makes sense. Yeah.

Jack: And it doesn't. You're living to pay bills. The f***? Yes, Living to pay bills to get f****** to make it. You're earning money to get to work.

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and Published by Great Thoughts.info Art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth McAllister, with social media managed by Amber Black.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: Welcome to the Rambling Podcast, the show where we grant humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. I am your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I am your host, Christina.

Jack: And I have some green. Some great news. It's the greatest news.

Cristina: How great.

Jack: I think I came up with a way for us to honestly bring Hitler back in an actual ice cube.

Cristina: He would have to already be in an ice cube.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: So how is that possible?

Jack: That time machine we have over there, we're gonna. Right before he blows his own brains out, or they blow his brains out, or somebody kills him, or he dies, or he runs away or whatever the h*** happens following the events of World War II, we quickly s***** him and freeze him and put him, ironically, wherever Captain America was, just because that's funny.

Cristina: But why are we doing this to him from all people?

Jack: So that we can complete your wish of wanting Hitler to show up underneath the Christmas tree.

Cristina: That's not my wish. I want Jesus now.

Jack: You want Jesus now. But look. No, now we gotta do it with Hitler. But the good thing is, it's possible. That's crazy. Actually, now that you say Jesus, I do think that would be way more entertaining and actually cooler. Like, we'd have to go so much further back.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Thus confirming Jesus, kind of essentially destroying all arguments in opposition of him.

Cristina: And if we don't find him, we get Hitler because, like, that's our backup. I guess.

Jack: Yeah, I guess that could happen, too. If we go back and we just like, hey, who's. Where's Jesus? They're like, who's who? Who's Jesus, bro? But the point is that there's totally a way to do it. Yes, there's totally a way to accomplish this. We can actually.

Cristina: Wait, what's the plan?

Jack: So we're going to use a time machine that we tend to ignore because it messes everything up all the time. But this involves Jesus now. We have to do it.

Cristina: But. Okay, and what are we doing?

Jack: We're going back in time, and then we're going to freeze Jesus in an ice cube, and then you're going to go ask Santa for Jesus ice cube, and he'll go find where Jesus is.

Cristina: Why are we going in a.

Jack: What?

Cristina: There's something that doesn't make sense here.

Jack: What, the fact that we just kidnapped Jesus.

Cristina: We have a time machine to get him, but we need Santa?

Jack: Well, no, we have a time machine to go back and put him in.

Cristina: Ice and then what do we need Santa for?

Jack: Well, in the present, you're gonna ask Santa to give you Jesus under your Christmas tree.

Cristina: Why didn't we just take him with us?

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: What?

Jack: But cryostasis is possible, I guess. I guess the reason we didn't take him with us is just so that he can be delivered as we suggested previously in an ice block.

Cristina: I feel like we could just take him with us, though.

Jack: Yeah, but you want Santa to give him to you.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: That's the point.

Cristina: Easier to have Salah just unfreeze him.

Jack: Well, we're gonna unfreeze him.

Cristina: What? And also, wouldn't freezing him just kill him in ice? We're just putting him in ice.

Jack: We're putting him in ice? Well, no, if we just put him in ice, horrible things will happen to him.

Cristina: He'll die.

Jack: He'll die. If we just put him in ice, he'll die. And we're not trying to kill Jesus. That's for the Jews to do. We're gonna stop him right before he does get killed, I guess. And then we're gonna put him in a block of ice.

Cristina: But wouldn't I kill him?

Jack: Well, no, because it's gonna be a cryostasis block of ice.

Cristina: What's the difference?

Jack: So one is gonna freeze your blood over, the other one's gonna avoid that happening. So, okay, in other words, the blood in your veins and in your arteries, the cells that make them up are gonna slowly turn into ice and create like little snowflakes, essentially.

Cristina: When you die.

Jack: Yeah, that's when you die, essentially. That's why you can't unfreeze a person, but you can unfreeze somebody from cryostasis. Just freezing somebody will murder them. But cryostasis, the logic would be you.

Cristina: Could undo it, but what's the difference? What are you doing in cryostasis?

Jack: Oh, well, there's some sort of liquid that's highly unstable, and you can pump a gas that stabilizes in there, but it's not actually cold necessarily as much as it is just stabilizing.

Cristina: Does it turn into ice, though, or. It looks like ice or something. I don't know if it actually freezing the person.

Jack: I think it's just fluid.

Cristina: Okay, so they're in water or something.

Jack: Yeah, you don't want the water to turn to ice, essentially.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And the gas stabilizes the liquid so that it doesn't turn to ice. But we can freeze him is the point. Or not freeze him. We can stasis him, put him in cryostasis.

Cristina: Put him to sleep.

Jack: Yes. And then get Santa to go find him, track him.

Cristina: I don't understand why we need to do that.

Jack: So that he can be put under your Christmas tree. Why Santa?

Cristina: Why do we need to.

Jack: Also, this is a way we can get Santa if we needed to catch him.

Cristina: That is an interesting idea. Why would we freeze him? We should just ask Santa to get him.

Jack: Why? If he'd be dead? Because the Jews would kill him.

Cristina: We could ask him to go back in time.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So the question is, then we don't have to do anything. Just asking Santa to do anything. He'll just go and do it regardless of what it is.

Cristina: I guess as long as we've been.

Jack: Good, go murder Jesus.

Cristina: Except for that. No. I think you also have to ask for something good. And we're not asking him to murder.

Jack: Oh, we have to ask for something good.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: How is materialism good, Santa?

Cristina: I don't know. It's the top. That's the goodest thing you could ask for stuff. Stuff. He wants stuff.

Jack: Just get stuff.

Cristina: But we could have him bring Jesus from the past. It'll be a two part wish. You asked for him to time travel and I asked for him to come back with Jesus.

Jack: No, we wouldn't have to do that. Because based on the logic you're applying to Santa right now, the fact that he can even go back in time means we could just tell him, hey, I want Jesus from this year brought here right now.

Cristina: Actually, maybe this doesn't make sense. Does he have the power to time travel? I don't think so.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: Have you ever heard about a time traveling Santa?

Jack: No, but why would we hear about it?

Cristina: Because we hear about all his other weird stuff.

Jack: Yeah, but if he traveled through time, unless he was going forward and it just looked like he missed for a really long time or traveled backwards and they don't remember anything that happened subsequently. It we like how? How would we know?

Cristina: How do we know? But what if he doesn't have the power though? So I guess we do need a time machine. If he doesn't have time travel as a power.

Jack: But now the question is, does he have time travel as a power?

Cristina: How would we know? I don't know. Because I don't know any stories of Santa traveling through time.

Jack: What are his powers? Essentially he can change his shape and size.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That allows him to travel through chimneys and stuff. He has some sort of aids.

Cristina: He could live forever.

Jack: He might live forever. He might be immortal.

Cristina: He might be immortal.

Jack: He can see and hear Everything. All the time.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Dude, even Jehovah doesn't have that. Dude, that's so nuts.

Cristina: He sees you when you're sleeping. Okay, yeah.

Jack: You could do things Jehovah doesn't see.

Cristina: Like what?

Jack: How the h*** did the snake get the fruit to Adam and Eve? If God saw that, then he intended for them to do that.

Cristina: Yes. So that he could punish them. Because he enjoys punishing.

Jack: He's a sadist.

Cristina: Yes. What are you talking about?

Jack: Yeah, he made a bunch of crap to destroy it all. I mean, I guess that's what a writer does, right?

Cristina: Mm. He enjoys punishing people as much as he enjoys.

Jack: Well, he can enjoy it. It doesn't make any sense.

Cristina: He's not a real God.

Jack: No, because that wouldn't be a real God. That's still a demigod. Getting enjoyment out of anything would still make you a demigod.

Cristina: Yeah, he's a demigod. Yeah.

Jack: Jehovah, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Yeah, for sure.

Cristina: There's no way nothing about that story would make sense.

Jack: Nah, nothing about anything involving Jehovah would make sense.

Cristina: Exactly. No version of God that comes from any religion makes sense. If they're anything like these stories.

Jack: Yeah. They have straight up not care and not have a physical form because that also doesn't matter. Like, even the concept of acknowledging your creations wouldn't make sense because you don't give a f***. You. The concept of you alone makes no sense. And you're fully aware of that. And also you're aware of how it does make sense. Like all of the above.

Cristina: Yes. So, yeah, there's no actual God in any of these stories.

Jack: There's no actual God, the capacity, or there is a God and everybody's God.

Cristina: But none of these stories are telling the story.

Jack: Stories are telling the story of God. You're right. They're all just in the stories from.

Cristina: Random s*** from random demigods.

Jack: Maybe that means we're more God than those gods.

Cristina: How?

Jack: Because in theory, the mind is God. Right. That's what's happening in all those arguments that if it's a pure God, that's everything, then it's also nothing. And it must acknowledge all of that and somehow everything is it. Then the inside of your head is God. You're making everything your God. Yeah, because what would be the difference?

Cristina: What would make you more God than a demigod?

Jack: You made those things. Those things didn't make you the demigods. Yeah, demigods are some creation in the thing, while the real God is the big thing outside of the Thing?

Cristina: Yeah. You're saying we made the demigods?

Jack: Yeah, we made all the demigods. We had to. If. How do. Ah, man, I don't know. It's a very matrix, fourth dimensional point of view going on. But with a time machine, we'll also think more four dimensionally and then we can freeze Jesus.

Cristina: Yes. Okay, so then what are you. Why do we need Santa again?

Jack: Santa Claus is gonna go get Jesus Christ in cryostasis container.

Cristina: Why don't we. I don't understand why, if we're doing it ourselves already, we're kidnapping him, putting him in this machine.

Jack: Right.

Cristina: Why can't we just put the machine in the time machine? The machine that we're keeping him in?

Jack: Because the goal is to get Santa Claus.

Cristina: That's true. Why is he involved in this? I don't know. I feel like it's two different missions that don't relate. Why is this involved? Yeah, like why are you kidnapping.

Jack: I mean, might as well be practical and like make use of it at the same time.

Cristina: There's just like these two things don't seem to relate.

Jack: They're not. We're just knocking two birds out with one stone. We want both Santa Claus and Jesus.

Cristina: What's for?

Jack: I don't know. Experiments.

Cristina: Experiments. Because I know Santa probably can help us reach the other planet that. The planet gods or whatever.

Jack: You think. You think that's the solution?

Cristina: I think he could talk to Snow.

Jack: Think Santa could? I mean, look, he has to, right? That's exactly what like Frosty is. He's just.

Cristina: He's a freaking snow. Exactly.

Jack: He's just. No, he's sentient snow. Did Santa Claus make Frosty?

Cristina: I don't think so.

Jack: Sentient snow? What the h*** is snow?

Cristina: I don't know, but it became sentiments all by itself.

Jack: That's a question, right? Is it by itself? It was probably magic.

Cristina: What does that mean?

Jack: I don't know. There was a lot of magic up in the North Pole during North Pole days.

Cristina: Where's the magic coming from?

Jack: That's an interesting question. You're suggesting that maybe it's not Santa doing it, but maybe Santa's own magic is coming from some other source.

Cristina: Yes, because there's magical creatures like the elves, the elves.

Jack: The question is, are they getting their magic from Santa or is there some third party? Is everything in the North Pole getting its magic from Santa? Is he overpowered to that degree? The elves are getting it from him.

Cristina: Frosty's getting it because there's elves outside of the North Pole. Don't they have magic.

Jack: They're still connected to him somehow.

Cristina: He leads the elves also.

Jack: Is he link? It's like a human who got lost with the elves and then became the boss.

Cristina: Yeah. No. I don't know. No way.

Jack: Because he's not human himself. He can't be.

Cristina: But he is.

Jack: But he has crazy powers.

Cristina: He got that from something.

Jack: He got that from something. Oh s***. He got that from something.

Jack: Santa was just a guy. That was the point.

Cristina: Yeah. You know, the church was giving their saints powers.

Jack: Fascinating.

Cristina: Where did they get it from? They were getting it from Jesus.

Jack: Where did they get it from?

Cristina: Because he opened all those portals to the other side.

Jack: Is that how that went?

Cristina: I think so. I don't remember. Is that how that went? I feel like Jesus made a bunch of portals to. What's the other place called?

Jack: What other place? H***.

Cristina: Upside down. I don't know. The second world.

Jack: Oh, the shadow.

Cristina: The shadow realm.

Jack: Oh crap. That is what happened, right? The sacrifice of Jesus.

Cristina: No, Jesus was making actual portals.

Jack: Why? Because Jesus was the fake. No. Okay, let's review the story.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Somehow an evil deity of some sort showed up from the shadow realm, used fear to manifest. Yeah, that's what kept it round. Eventually the good one came a diff. Or a different one.

Cristina: Different.

Jack: Came and somehow disposed of that problem through X way and took their place. Thus the change of Old Testament. New Testament. Right.

Cristina: I think the other one's still around though.

Jack: They're both still around. Okay, but like when prisoner isolated somewhere. I believe now Jesus was the shadow one, right? I don't remember.

Cristina: I don't remember. But I'm pretty sure the other one's still around because I'm pretty sure Adam and Eve is in Atlantic.

Jack: Yes, that's right.

Cristina: And they're trapped, but in a protected dome. So that that other. The evil dark entity thing doesn't get them interesting.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. This checks out.

Cristina: This checks out.

Jack: It sounds about right so far. So the argument is then that somehow Jesus blood because Jesus was going around opening portals. So then that's the point, right? There was a guy who went around spreading the word.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And then that gave people the knowledge and then get into fear and created thing and to come through.

Cristina: Because they were using the portals to set monsters into the world from that so that they can kill the monsters with the Holy Spirit or whatever. But that also helped create fear, which they need because power.

Jack: Yes, yes, you're totally right. The church was doing this.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So in the church. No, because it couldn't be adrenochrome. Right. Then we know that has to be. No, it can't be. It can't be. And I can tell you why it can't be adrenochrome. It's because he doesn't need more of it. He doesn't need Santa Claus. He doesn't need more adrenochrome. All he needs is the fear. And he's over freaking powered. Something they taught him or something they gave him or something. Made it so that he would go from being a man, being a God.

Cristina: The church?

Jack: Yeah, the church had to give St Nicholas something that then made him so overpowered. Unless St Nicholas and Santa Claus aren't the same guy, and then we still dealing with some other s***.

Cristina: I. So is this some random guy pretending to be St. Nick?

Jack: No, St. Nick is one guy and Santa Claus is another.

Cristina: Okay, so Santa Claus. We're just saying that they're the same people.

Jack: We could be. Maybe they are the same person, but they could be not. They could be different people.

Jack: They're probably the same person. I'm just throwing theories out there.

Cristina: Yeah, but where would he get his power? Whether he's the same or not the same? What is the power thing happening? Does that mean he could just be a creature from the other side?

Jack: If he isn't St Nicholas, then yes.

Cristina: How does that make sense?

Jack: Creatures from the other side, you can use fear to manifest.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: He could be something like that. Yeah, that makes sense. That checks out.

Cristina: He looks human. Maybe. Then again, no one's seen him. Really. It could be just a creature. It could be a creature, but transform into this man that we see, because that's what they like to do.

Jack: Oh, shapeshift. Well, we know he can shapeshift already.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah, like that's already a fact. He uses that just to get through your chimney.

Cristina: He could come from the other side. Okay, but then what about the magic? Where's all that magic coming from? Does it come from him?

Jack: Well, yeah, that's the problem. If he's from the other side, then he's messing with things that already have magic.

Cristina: I already have magic.

Jack: Yeah. Like fairies and s***.

Cristina: Yeah. And he can communicate with snow, though. That's important.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Where does Frosty come from? He's a snow thing.

Jack: Well, everybody can communicate with Frosty.

Cristina: Yeah, he didn't make him that thing.

Jack: Well, we don't know if he can. If he made him. We don't know if Santa Claus made Frosty. We just know that Frosty can talk to anybody because he just speaks normal Language?

Cristina: Mm. Yes.

Jack: Yeah. So it's he made sentience. No. If he made him, I don't know. But then the question is, is the North Pole something that radiates some certain magic? So everything up there has these abilities and random crap. Not knowing how to use it results in things like Frosty being able to talk and walk and move around.

Cristina: I don't know. There's probably as much weird stuff there as there is everywhere else. It's just. It seems like there's more there because there's not a lot of people there.

Jack: Interesting. Well, then. Okay. So your argument is that there's a radius everywhere.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Of magic.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And that a bunch of crazy s*** happens in there, but over there, they're all within the same radius where the magic happens. So it happens to all of them, all time. And in other places there's just people kind of. Maybe one lives on the edge. Maybe nobody lives in it.

Cristina: Yeah, there's things everywhere. Vampire like things, all these different creatures. Werewolves, whatever. Yeah, everywhere. Japan's full of monsters. Ireland's full of monsters.

Jack: Ireland is full of monsters for sure.

Cristina: Exactly. So, yeah, North Polar doesn't have more than anywhere else.

Jack: But your argument would be that the North Pole has monsters and that that's the same thing happening everywhere else in the world. But that would just mean that there is. That they're by magic and not adrenochrome.

Cristina: Yes, because, like, it couldn't be adrenochrome because there's nothing up there, up where in North Pole to be getting adrenochrome. Like, if they were getting adrenochrome, where would they be getting it from?

Jack: Well, they're not getting adrenochrome. They're getting fear. Yeah, which is why what they gave St. Nicholas, if that is St. Nicholas.

Cristina: He'S the only one getting fear. Like, what are the elves getting? What are the magic snowman and any other magical creature?

Jack: Well, Santa Claus isn't just getting feared. The fear allows him to have all these abilities.

Cristina: Well, that's all him, though. What about all these other. Unless you're saying they're all coming from him.

Jack: Well, it could be. That's my theory. That if he's getting the power, he's sharing the power.

Cristina: Can they share the power that way? It doesn't feel like they can. Like, it always feels like these things just only an individual thing has the powers and just hoards the power until they go crazy.

Jack: Well, no, maybe it's beneficial. Maybe. You got to think about it. What if he's Granting them immortality in exchange for. You guys gotta be able to make certain things and do things quickly and whatever. Immortality is the guarantee here. You'll never age. You'll be immortal forever. All of you will leave forever. I will allow you to do that. But I need the power to do that.

Cristina: But if they're elves, they should already have that power.

Jack: Immortality.

Cristina: Yeah. I feel like all elves have that power.

Jack: No, they can age very far. Oh, they will die.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Regardless. Regardless. The point is that we can freeze Jesus.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And then Santa Claus will go fetch Jesus.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Or not freeze him, but cryostasis him.

Cristina: Yes. And then Santa Claus is gonna go back in time to get him.

Jack: No, he's not gonna go back in time. We went back in time and put him in cryostasis, and then time passed with him in cryostasis, and now it's the present, and Santa Claus is gonna go get him and bring him back.

Cristina: Okay. Okay. Because we hid him somewhere where he was at. Because we're not gonna travel with his body to where we're at.

Jack: Yeah. Because the point is to get Santa Claus.

Cristina: Yeah. Okay. And then what?

Jack: I don't know. We'll have Santa Claus or we can talk to him. Isn't the goal to get him the. To see one where he gets his power? Like, holy s***. Holy, bro.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: What?

Cristina: Also Just learn about everything that's going on in the North Pole. All these questions that we have. Yes, but.

Jack: And get. Maybe. Maybe he's strong enough. Maybe strong enough? He's omniscient. What?

Cristina: Strong enough for what?

Jack: To fight whatever crap the Cat people are on.

Cristina: Okay. But anyway. But what about Jesus?

Jack: What about Jesus?

Cristina: What are we doing with him? With the cryostasis? Okay. Keeps him alive. And then. Well.

Jack: Well, then we will retrieve him from the other side.

Cristina: How?

Jack: Well, there is a. I don't. I don't know the details myself, but there's a place. Cryonics Institute. It's people who freeze people.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And they're gonna give us this technology.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And do it from there. They have a website. We could just go online.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And get to the Cryonics Institute website. And on the Cryonics Institute website, they will allow us to subscribe to get frozen. But they got services.

Cristina: No way.

Jack: They got services for days. But they have a. We gotta go from the beginning. We're gonna break this down and break this down.

Cristina: Services, like, different services, like. It's not just freeze and then unfreeze. That's not it. Yes.

Jack: So there's a whole. Whole list of Things. But, but let's go through this real quick. Is the Cryonics Institute and they have cryonics emergencies. If you have cryonics emergencies, like you're.

Cristina: About to die, you're having a heart attack. I don't understand. There's not.

Jack: My grandma just died. Freeze her, please, so we can undo the death.

Cristina: But she's dead.

Jack: I don't know how it works. You're asking too many questions. But for a cryonics emergency, you can call if anybody. If anybody has a cryonics emergency list need to do this. The number is 1-586-791-5961. If you want to be frozen, cryonics is who you got to get in contact with. Now, their tagline, a second chance at life.

Cristina: If you're about to die, it doesn't make sense.

Jack: If you're like life extension with reach most affordable cryonic suspensions, okay, that suggests that there's alternate options.

Cristina: Affordable, like there's more expensive options.

Jack: World's largest provider of whole body cryonics. CI class performed more than no way to go.

Cristina: So are we gonna check out the emergencies?

Jack: No, we're not gonna check out the emergencies. You're gonna look at through some of these services and look at some of these descriptions.

Cristina: All right?

Jack: Life is priceless.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: Imagine a world free of disease, death and aging. At the Cryonics Institute, we believe that day. That day is coming. And cryonics is presently our best chance of getting there.

Cristina: Okay, so they don't just want to wake up at any time.

Jack: No, they have.

Cristina: They're waiting for the moment where we're. We didn't. We don't wake up. We solved everything.

Jack: Yes. We stopped dying.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. They think that's gonna be a moment.

Jack: The hope is the rapture happens and then the seven years of like, peace and then some years of h***, and then people disappear and then Earth is inherited by Jesus or some s*** like that. I think they're waiting for the paradise part of that narrative so they could just. Oh, oh, now it's the time that doesn't make sense.

Cristina: But okay.

Jack: Cause science, like our mission is to extend human lifespan by preserving the body using existing cryogenic technologies with the goal of revival by future science. But will it work? But will it work?

Cristina: No.

Jack: Research makes a powerful case for cryonics.

Cristina: The crazy thing is though, like, if there is a moment when we do reach all that stuff that they're hoping for, they won't be able to afford it because that's still going to come With a price. What?

Jack: Getting woken up?

Cristina: No, getting the. The medicine that's going to keep you alive after you've been woken up. The medicine that's going to keep all the diseases away from you, all that crap. Well, there wouldn't be because you don't have insurance. There's no way. They would have to give you something so that you wouldn't get diseases. There's nothing.

Jack: Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me. I believe part of the thing is we would have solved everything. To the point that selling it would make no sense. It's too solvable.

Cristina: So solvable.

Jack: It's basic.

Cristina: Why like the flu, it just gets bigger and dangerouser and everything. Like you gotta always have something new to fight it because it's gonna get worse. Like there's no way to truly solve it. You just push it back. So wouldn't it be the same with everything else? You're just gonna push whatever back?

Jack: Well, we don't know if we can actually solve the problem. We're assuming our science is currently primitive and that in the future figure all that out. We'll figure all that out with enough time. Everything has a solution with enough time.

Cristina: Yes. I guess if you think time, if it's infinite.

Jack: It doesn't have to be infinite. It doesn't have to be infinite. Less than a thousand years, you've solved every medical problem ever. Science using technology. Technology has only existed for about a hundred years. Give it a thousand. Where do we land?

Cristina: I guess the only real way to solve all these problems is to become robots though.

Jack: No, we will definitely get far enough in science that we can handle it.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: For sure. That is just a fact of time. So long as a meteor doesn't destroy us.

Cristina: Oh crap. Do you see that last one?

Jack: Doesn't matter. Listen. Human cryopreservation.

Cristina: I get that one.

Jack: That's the basic one, right? So cryopreservation is an ambulance to the future. Keeping patients in a state of stasis with the hopes future technology will be able to revive them. Only CI members with funded contracts in place can be preserved. Okay, the next one is standby tools and training. And standby is the process. A process performed immediately following a person's legal death. CI provides instructions and emergency notification tools for members and non member cryo. Cryo what? Cryonicists alike. Member and non member cryonicists. Like cryonicist. A person who cryonatizes people.

Cristina: But wait, so like teaching people how to. We're not a member. We can still figure out how to do this?

Jack: Well, if you're gonna be in cryostasis, you'll be taught how to do cryostasis.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Or maybe. I don't know, I don't get it. Next is professional standby options. CI has arrangements with Suspended Animation Inc. To provide standby services at special rates for our members. These services are provided independent of CI.

Cristina: This sounds so expensive.

Jack: Could be ridiculous. Expensive. DNA and tissue preservation. CI will store tissues and DNA samples for members. We provide a special kit to collect samples and store and collect samples indefinitely at industry standard liquid nitrogen temperatures. This is a one time fee.

Cristina: And how does that help at all?

Jack: If you wanted your genetics to be preserved, to maybe be cloned or be regenerated in the future.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Like your first plan didn't work out. You got this backup plan.

Jack: Yeah, I suppose. And then the one you're very excited for. Pet cryopreservation. Over 170 people have chosen to cryopreserve their beloved pets with CI cryopreservation of dogs, cats and other small to medium sized animals gives your pet a second chance at life.

Cristina: Monsters. What? Why?

Jack: Why? Well, the good thing is that you will be able to live forever if this doesn't go horribly wr.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And it's probably gonna go horribly wrong because why wouldn't it?

Cristina: Probably. But why would your animal care. Why would they want to.

Jack: Who said your animal gives a. People will keep family members at the brink of death forever if it means they get to still have that family member alive.

Cristina: Depressing. That's so sad.

Jack: Reality. But they also have this little nifty video here. Gonna see if. Okay, okay. We just saw the video, first of all.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: $28,000.

Cristina: That's not bad.

Jack: It's not bad. It's not bad. If you wanted to be frozen, you could, like they said, afford this off of your life insurance.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Now, the fact that they had to support their claim with so much evidence is the like, the fact that it's not just like, oh, yeah, clearly this will work.

Cristina: Except we don't know if it's gonna, because currently it can't work. Like, yes, they can freeze you, but there's no unfreezing.

Jack: Yes, as of now. But also you're gonna die anyways.

Cristina: You're gonna die anyway.

Jack: And if you're about to die, freeze yourself.

Cristina: But the science that backs it up. That was not science backing it up. Those articles are not scientists specifically writing about the company.

Jack: Yeah, those peer reviewed, probably. About cryogenics.

Cristina: Yes, but not about this specific company.

Jack: Oh, no, I was Writing about the company.

Cristina: Yeah, but they made it sound like these scientists are backing us up. They're writing about us like. No, no, they're not.

Jack: No, you made it sound like that. They're back in cryonics.

Cristina: Isn't that what they're called? Cryonics. That's the company's name, but it's also.

Jack: The name of the process.

Cristina: Crap. That's very. Come on. Come on. That's not right. That's not right at all.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. Cryonics is what you're using.

Cristina: Yes, but then you're calling yourself that, and then you're saying scientists are backing us up, but it's not really.

Jack: They didn't say us. They said they're backing Cryonics.

Cristina: But that's their name.

Jack: Yeah, but it's also the name of the process. And those scientists are definitely writing about the process.

Cristina: Yes. It's still not right. I don't know. It's not right.

Jack: It's misleading.

Cristina: It's very misleading to you. What? I don't know.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's pretty crazy. But it is possible we could just take one of these courses, the one that's a class, and be taught.

Cristina: That's so crazy, because you don't have to even be a member to take a course to learn how to do it.

Jack: No, you don't have to want to be a frozen. In order to go around freezing random, unsuspecting victims.

Cristina: I guess. I guess that'll help us.

Jack: Yeah. So we're gonna go learn how to do it. Pretty simple. Then we're gonna use our time machine, go back in time, find Jesus and do it to him.

Cristina: Yes, but is watching that video free, or do you also have to pay for that? Because they said members and non members, so that makes it sound like it's free.

Jack: But no, I'm sure you have to pay for the video. Like, members get the video for free. Non members have to buy the video.

Cristina: Oh, so crazy.

Jack: Order to start capturing.

Cristina: They also have, like, a donation button. Like what?

Jack: Everybody needs a donation button.

Cristina: Everything is so expensive. Who has time to donate as well?

Jack: That's already rich people.

Cristina: I guess. Like, I guess if you're doing that, you're not gonna need the money that you have anyway, so why not just give the rest away?

Jack: Yeah. Like, it's already. You've chosen to do something that's essentially a waste of everybody's time. Now the question is, what if works? If it works, we're not responsible for killing Jesus.

Cristina: No, because we didn't. But we have to take him to a time where this works. There's still time travel involved. And we can't take our ship to. I mean, our time machine to take him to the future.

Jack: No, we're not going to take him at all. Jesus is going to wake up in the future from us, but we're gonna get the ice cube from Santa. Simple. We're gonna learn how to create cryostasis chambers. We're gonna go back in time with our time machine to where Jesus was captured. Jesus. Right after he's crucified, but not died yet. We're gonna sneak him, we're gonna put him in a cryostasis chamber, and then we're gonna come back to the present. Then we're gonna get Santa Claus to bring him to you, to your Christmas.

Cristina: Tree, because we need him in the future.

Jack: No, listen to me, okay? In the middle of the night and Santa Claus and bring. We're gonna capture Santa and now we have Jesus.

Cristina: Yes, yes.

Jack: We can get Jesus in the present. Then we're going to use our time machine in the present to take Jesus into the future where the technology to undo the cryostasis exists.

Cristina: How, if we can't take him in the machine in the first place, can.

Jack: Take him in the machine. We're just not going to.

Cristina: Just for Santa.

Jack: Just to get Santa. Who's the point?

Cristina: Okay, but then the second time, we're just gonna take him to the future. Okay?

Jack: Yes. So that we can unfreeze him.

Cristina: But don't we need the money to unfreeze him? Because these people are paying for the service.

Jack: I mean, it's gonna be in the future where it's free.

Cristina: Where it's free.

Jack: So it's gonna be easy. It's so easy. Everybody has a defrost in their house.

Cristina: Okay. Why would everyone need one?

Jack: People are being found frozen all the time.

Cristina: Okay. They're just everywhere.

Jack: Yeah, chances are.

Cristina: Okay. This is a great idea.

Jack: Yes. That is the goal at the moment.

Cristina: It makes sense.

Jack: Yeah, it does.

Cristina: But, like, do they have plans? I want to see if they have, like, different plans. Like family plans.

Jack: Oh, no. We have to get different prices from them. They don't put the prices explicitly other than the collective 28,000. You have to have conversations with.

Cristina: Wow, that's lame.

Jack: Perhaps we can call them and find out the prices.

Cristina: Nah, you could do that.

Jack: Have whole conversations with them.

Cristina: Nah.

Jack: The point is that we can take Jesus to the future. We can have the future people who have the technology. Un. Cryostasis. Jesus Christ. Assuming, though. Well, they have we just go far into the future enough for that problem to be solved?

Cristina: Yeah. How far do we go?

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: Is this gonna be like the time machine?

Jack: I guess we just have to keep jumping and hope for the best, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You have to keep jumping forward and hope this time we land where we're going because we can't jump too forward. Who's gonna even understand us?

Cristina: Yeah, eventually we'll end up in the past somehow. I don't know.

Jack: I mean, I guess. Well, not really. The idea would be society collapses in such a way. I mean, I guess it would be exactly the time machine. We're gonna circle back around to the beginning of a different civilization. In that movie, they just happen to all look human still, or to some degree humanoid. Yeah, but like, really, really, we're not gonna look that way. This can change. We're gonna be some other s*** if enough million years go by.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: You know, this is how it goes.

Cristina: It's gonna be human dolphins, but can you imagine?

Jack: But in the future, we just have to make it to where they have the ability to solve the problem. And the first again, they. It has to be free. We have to go so far into the future that now it's free. Because you have to be able to get this procedure done without them, like.

Cristina: Ridiculous amount of bill or whatever.

Jack: Well, no, if you get to live, who gives a s***? Just ignore the bills. But they just simply won't do it if there's no way for you to pay. You have to make it far enough that that's not a concern. They have.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So one, we at least have to go that far into the future.

Cristina: We also need. We also need them to have figured out, like, how to solve every problem.

Jack: Like answer or whatever disease you have. At least whoever you are who's frozen or in cryostasis, wherever you are, your specific problem needs to have been solved at the same time that money has been dealt with and that they actually have the technology too. So the two sciences that need to have happened is whatever your problem is needs to have been solved and they need to figure out how to undo cryostasis. And economically, they need to have figured out how to just erase money from existence.

Cristina: Yes, very important.

Jack: Those three things solved will allow. That's the time period whenever those three things simultaneously exist.

Cristina: That's so far in the future. Yeah, so far.

Jack: Well, we don't know. Maybe it could just happen all tomorrow.

Cristina: They solved it by all becoming robots.

Jack: That's totally a possibility.

Cristina: It's the only way you can't get cancer if you're a machine.

Jack: But maybe we just figure out biology. We definitely are messing around with gene altering technology that might just kill us. Man. That one, that's gonna create super cancer. Second, that's also gonna create zombies. Third, that's gonna create literal monsters that are gonna start to plague earth.

Cristina: We already have the zombies.

Jack: We have the zombies.

Cristina: Yeah. That's why we were hiding in a. Oh, no, wait. We weren't hiding because of the zombies. We just had zombies on our island.

Jack: Yes. Unrelated to when you're hiding, think about what's happening here. Here. We essentially gave a bunch of people adrenochrome and then took it away from them.

Cristina: Is that how we made this? All right.

Jack: That's the only way we could have made those.

Cristina: I don't luckily remember how we made it.

Jack: I'm pretty sure it was the p. No. Crap. I think it was us. I think it was us by that point.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Me and our versions of us. I think those are the ones who did that.

Cristina: Those. Wait, you're saying us?

Jack: Yes, I think it was us. Us who were.

Cristina: Not another version.

Jack: Not a version of us. I think it was us. Us who were on that. So we're capable of astounding cruelty as well.

Cristina: Mm. Well, we didn't make it.

Jack: We. We bought that island or some s***, right?

Cristina: I don't remember.

Jack: No, we bought Dana White.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: A fight island or whatever.

Cristina: I just don't remember where the zombies came from. I just know that people can risk their lives and if they turn into zombies, we got more zombies, so it's fine.

Jack: But if they attraction.

Cristina: If I don't remember.

Jack: No, they don't.

Cristina: Where did the zombies come from? Did we just have one original zombie? Like, I don't.

Jack: Or maybe there was. Maybe there were people already working on zombies and we just confiscated their zombies because that's wrong.

Cristina: Anyways, that could be.

Jack: And we just. They're already there.

Cristina: Yeah. And then we got people to come to the island for the attraction of.

Jack: Zombies, which made zombies.

Cristina: Which made more zombies. But that was fine because it's already attraction.

Jack: And they fill out the contracts to go there anyways.

Cristina: Yes. That's part of being allowed to see the zombies is if you get bitten.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: You're stuck here.

Jack: Go to zombie island and if you get bitten, you're screwed.

Cristina: Yeah. So it works out.

Jack: True business, Woodman. There's a city and there's a game. You get a billion dollars. Right. Survivor. Last person surviving. $1 billion. Hunger Game esque thing. Except the city is closed off and it has zombies.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That's it. There's a bunch of zombies and a hundred people are like, okay, we're gonna go into the city. Thousand people, whatever.

Cristina: More. Only one person can survive.

Jack: There's three. There's 3 million people in the city. Maybe not. Maybe there's like, you gotta survive there for 10 years.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But in that 10 year period, you know, all the supplies you'll ever need are in there. And will regularly go back in and hide stuff. So you can just keep navigating and finding crap. But you can't leave. You gotta survive there 10 years. Exaggerated. You can survive there five years and you will get $1 billion, every single one of you who survives.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But you're fighting for the same resources.

Cristina: Because I feel like you'd want to work together if, you know, like a, we can all win this money if we survive. But then again, the whole resource thing is a huge problem.

Jack: Oh, I got you. I got you. I got you. Problem solved. Problem solved. Problem solved. $6 billion divided by however many of you survive.

Cristina: Yeah. Like, once you get closer to the end and there's less resources, there's more reason to kill the people you're with. If you're with someone.

Jack: Yes. As you're getting closer to the end, the longer you. But he also. It makes sense to get a posse of people together so you can acquire as much crap as possible. Then not need to, but then you still know. What if there's a counter? That's all you really need to know. There's a bunch of zombies and there's a counter somewhere above the city or just on every screen.

Cristina: Everywhere.

Jack: You're always walking around and you always know how many people are left, but.

Cristina: Also how much time is left.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Because it's. How many years? 10 years? 5 years? Yes. That's. When it comes to resources. I don't know. It's gonna be fighting.

Jack: Yeah. You're not gonna know. You're gonna get desperate at random moments. I think no time is better. I think just knowing how many people there are and not knowing how much time there is.

Cristina: Okay. Then you won't. You'll have less fighting.

Jack: I don't know. I don't know. Because I feel if there is. If you do put a timer.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And you use this timer to know what day you're at. As you get closer, you get more relaxed.

Cristina: I feel like you get more riskier too.

Jack: No, because you're gonna make it.

Cristina: Yeah. But, like, you're less worried about the People around you or the zombies around you. Because, like, oh, I'm gonna be home soon.

Jack: Yeah, everybody becomes a danger because you don't want to share. Yeah, everybody becomes more dangerous with every passing day. So as every day passes, you just get a little farther from people.

Cristina: Yeah, I probably would hide the whole time. I don't know.

Jack: You gotta last five years.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: How you gonna get resources if you're always hiding?

Cristina: If you're hiding somewhere that has a.

Jack: Lot of resources, you gotta get there first. How you gonna get there alone?

Cristina: I don't know. That's true. I don't know. That's sucky.

Jack: Gonna eventually have to rely on people.

Cristina: Yes, whatever. We should do this, though. We got the zombies, we got the island.

Jack: Well, we have to buy a city, close off a city.

Cristina: Why can't we just build a city on the island?

Jack: We could build a city on the island. We got a bunch of lizard people.

Cristina: Exactly. But what about Jesus?

Jack: We're gonna have him unfrozen, and then if he is in fact Jesus, we have solved a lot of problems. We got some overpowered being.

Cristina: Mm. So we should forget about saving the world and move on to this Zombie island movie show?

Jack: Well, no. What movie or show? Why would it become a movie or show?

Cristina: Become a show? Like, we can pay people to watch this.

Jack: Fair enough. This would be quite good entertainment. Yeah, but I suppose the point of this is Santa Claus, right? Yeah, because we want to get Santa Claus and we want to find out if Santa Claus is how. Like one. Truly. How overpowered are you two? Is that overpowered enough to help us stop whatever problem we have with the cam people? Because that's a problem.

Cristina: Yes. Or should we forget about that and go on to this Zombie island show?

Jack: You want to forget about Santa Claus and do this Zombie island show instead?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: Because it's more interesting.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: Unless he's into it.

Jack: All right, fair enough. We can set this experiment in motion. Right. So we're gonna build a city on Zombie Island.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And then we're going to keep track of what's happening on the island every week and report back with everybody. Maybe at the beginning of the episode, maybe at the end of the episode.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And we just let them know what's happening with the people on Zombie island that have volunteered to get paid. $6 billion divided amongst the however many people.

Cristina: And yes, maybe with that prophet, we don't have to wait to go to a future where we can't. We could afford unfreezing Jesus or whatever. Like, maybe we could afford the research.

Jack: Yeah, Just fund the research so we can unfreeze them ourselves.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Figuring out if we also have really good scientists. We do, but like, the fact that we would need to go forward in time despite the fact that we exist tells us that's a problem. It's just something about science right now that's making this impossible.

Cristina: Yes. Okay. So we do have to go to the future.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: No matter what.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: All right, let's do that. Let's save Jesus.

Jack: Save Jesus Christ for.

Cristina: I don't know how he's gonna help us again.

Jack: He's not helping us.

Cristina: He's not.

Jack: Santa Claus is helping us.

Cristina: Yes. Okay. For Santa. Jesus. For Santa.

Jack: Jesus is getting. I mean, Santa Claus is getting Jesus. Yeah, we're just getting Jesus.

Cristina: Using Jesus to get to Santa.

Jack: Yeah. And then we're gonna use Santa to solve all our problems.

Cristina: Yes. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. And we'll also be able to fit. Not just solve all our problems, but also understand what the h*** he is, where his powers come from, if he's in fact St. Nick or some other thing. And like where the. Did he give the abilities to everything in the North Pole or is there some anomaly happening? Is there thin places or magic bubbles or something going.

Cristina: Yes, probably. I bet that's what's happening.

Jack: Which one?

Cristina: It's just a weird place with weird things happening.

Jack: It could be. I mean, elves that can like generate random crap. A man in red with seemingly all knowledge. Again, how exaggerated is it to know everything? Everything all the time?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And you don't need to know. Ah, so exaggerated. You just know everything all the time. As long as you can remember everything, you know everything that's ever happened since you've had this ability. So you also know the past as far as you've had this ability. And you know the present that you can see at all times simultaneously.

Cristina: Almost like knowing everything.

Jack: It's almost like knowing everything. It's pretty, pretty exaggerated.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: If you can see somebody's thoughts as well, you know the moment they know that they're gonna do something. Nobody could ever hit you.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Somebody's about to shoot. You also know where to dodge. You're impossible to touch.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: You know everything everybody's gonna do the moment they know they're gonna do it.

Cristina: He's got some superpowers. Yeah.

Jack: That's so exaggerated. Jehovah doesn't have this. Jehovah couldn't touch that with a ten foot pole. Some dude ate an apple behind his back and he was like, what? Why'd you do it? Like Whoa, dude. That happened in your own backyard. Literally.

Cristina: You gave it to them, though.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Look at this thing. It's amazing. Don't touch it, man.

Jack: There's a lot wrong with Jehovah, right? But you don't touch the tree. It's the only thing here. Do you?

Cristina: I don't know. Yes. Like, no, it was on purpose.

Jack: You can't just, like, it feels like a setup. It does feel like a setup. It's like when a cop puts a. A really nice car in a really bad neighborhood and leaves the keys inside and then just parks across the street in an unmarked vehicle and just watching. Make it obvious that the keys are in there, leave the window open like somebody had too much faith. And then you see people start walking by.

Cristina: People actually try to steal those cars.

Jack: Yo, these are setups, and they're all over the Internet. Yeah, you can watch. It's great. Oh, watching these videos, it's so beautiful. But it's that setup. It's entrapment. That's hella illegal. Oh, this is, like.

Cristina: It's not illegal for. For God, no.

Jack: Yeah, because he was. But also, that was Jehovah of dark. And also, you know, it's still not illegal, but, like, it is a setup. It feels really set up. Here's a tree. This very one right here. Just this one? Yeah. Don't do anything with this one specifically. Don't touch it. All the other. I don't care about the substance, but.

Cristina: You live right next to it. You'll see it every day for your whole entire life.

Jack: This tree. That's the center of this place, is the one tree you can't touch. No, don't worry about it. Everything else is fine. Nothing's off limits in here except this one tree. Don't you. Don't you touch this tree. I'm not gonna tell you what it does, but you don't touch it. You don't look at it. You don't so much as sn. You don't inhale air. This tree is around. Anyways, I gotta go. I'm gonna be over there with my.

Cristina: Back turned to you, even though I see and hear.

Jack: Yeah, I can see and hear everything that's happening. I'll be over there looking at that other tree. That's super insignificant, bro.

Cristina: I don't understand, like, because they understood him or they didn't understand, like, did he not explain himself of, like, what he was, man? Did they not know?

Jack: I never thought about that. That's a huge problem. That's a huge problem. They had no understanding. They had no sin.

Cristina: No understanding of anything. They had noise. Just told them, hey, don't do that.

Jack: No, look, they had no sin yet. Yeah, they had no sin yet. They hadn't sinned. So they're pure. They're as pure as God literally intended them to be before the interference of Lucifer, they were as pure as God intended them to be. They had no ability to make malice and only had the ability to make the right choice because no sin had come into existence. So why did they disobey what they didn't know, though?

Cristina: He didn't tell them anything. He didn't tell them what he was. Don't.

Jack: No, no, no, listen. He said don't eat the fruit.

Cristina: That's all they knew?

Jack: Yes. Why did they have the ability to eat the fruit if they wouldn't have disobeyed? They already knew. He explained he was God. And for whatever reason, you just listened to me and they're like, okay.

Cristina: But they still disobeyed.

Jack: But they still disobeyed. Meaning God's most perfect creation in its most perfect state was flawed.

Cristina: Yes. Oh, I guess because it didn't take much, he could not. It wasn't even peer pressure or anything. It was like, hey, go, go eat that.

Jack: Okay. The answer to the question is he can't make the rock.

Cristina: Can't make the rock.

Jack: Can God make a rock big enough he himself couldn't push? Well, he couldn't make the rock to begin with, and even if he could, he couldn't have the strength to push it. But no, he can't make the rock. And if somebody else made it, he couldn't push it because he's not all powerful. That's what happened. He couldn't make perfection. Jehovah within the Bible itself in its first important moment other than the actual creation. But it's for. God's first react. Interaction was with the creating of an already flawed being. Actually, the same argument stands.

Cristina: Yeah, that they were flawed and he had that apple thing piece. He knew he needed them to feel like, oh, they are the reasons they're flawed.

Jack: Well. Well, no, because there's also the. The one before that. Because God also made Lucifer.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Lucifer was flawed?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: God's never made something perfect. No, the lie is that he tells you it's perfect, but it always goes wrong. Entropy affects everything that God touches. It's all just 3D s***. It's. God is constrained by. D***, he's probably dead, bro. God's trapped by the same laws of physics.

Cristina: Yeah, he is.

Jack: He really Is entropy still affects everything that Jehovah does. That's crazy, because Adam and Eve were not pure. Neither was Lucifer. Even if the. Even if for infinite number of years he was following orders and doing it right, eventually he wasn't. It was not perfect. It just took an infinity to happen. But it happened.

Cristina: But it happened.

Jack: But it happened. Jehovah has never created anything perfect. There's no proof of it.

Cristina: No, I guess not.

Jack: Not even within the Bible. The only argued perfection was Adam and Eve before the apple. But why don't we ever consider that the angels should have been perfect. They should have all been perfect. Except some of them just were. Just like what? Did they also not know what the h*** God was?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Why would they just be like, nah, we could take him, bro. The fact that they thought that is something crazy. If he's all powerful and you know it's. Then no way you're f****** with.

Cristina: They know him. Like they know. No, in a way we don't know.

Jack: And they're still like, no. We could probably win the war.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: D***. There's something not right there.

Cristina: Yeah, it doesn't make sense.

Jack: Interesting. Crazy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Somehow Jesus is gonna be useful if he turns out to not be a guy. If he's not a guy. Well no, he's not a guy. We know that. Crap. He's useless again. He's just. He's just a vampire. And so were the apostles. Those are just the first people he bit after he drank a bunch of blood. D*** place.

Cristina: We'll still have Santa. That's important, right?

Jack: Yeah. And there's a lot of power there. Which is another kind of God.

Cristina: Yeah, he's the real guy.

Jack: He's a real God. Yeah, he is. Jehovah's two small potatoes, bro.

Cristina: Yeah, he's.

Jack: He can't even make even Santa's freaking plan to get fears perfect. All knowing really is overpowered. Yeah, he just has some in place. That works, bro. And it just keeps working.

Cristina: Yeah, he. He won. I don't know.

Jack: Literally Jehovah couldn't figure it out. You cannot. You have to just be a demigod, bro. I mean, some random dude Saint Nick just passed you. If it's ain't there, which you're gonna find out anyways. Anyways. Anyways. Too much crap. All at the same time.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: We're running out of time here. Yep. So basically the conclusion is this plan could work. The whole point of this episode was for me to tell you to explain to you that yes, your dream come true. Of having. But it won't be in a nice block. So I guess it's not your dream come true, but it's some variance of this.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And then we'll catch Santa because we'll just make it happen. Or at least get to interact with him. Your dream, my dream, or not even a dream. It's a wish really. But it allows us to get Santa.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: We don't have to capture him. We just need to find him, which is hard to do. And we'll talk to him. And in talking, the him will find out all the secrets. And we'll also have Jesus because he'll bring them to us. Even if we'll find Jesus, which will also answer a bunch of questions.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Yeah. The hardest part is also the most irrelevant one, which is getting Jesus out of the cryostasis in the first place, which just involves a whole bunch of traveling to the future, finding the right intersection of events.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then getting it done. And then coming back in time with Jesus out of the cryostasis. So we have potential. Just guy or potential. Some form of a deity.

Cristina: We should probably tie him up or something.

Jack: I know. Because the possibilities that he's just a bad guy are really high.

Cristina: Yeah. If he's just a vampire, it's not going to be safe.

Jack: Waking him up probably definitely a vampire.

Cristina: And like putting him to sleep. Because we gotta put him to sleep first.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: That's step number one. We gotta find him alive.

Jack: Well, we. We know.

Cristina: Well, he'll be weak if we get him. At the moment he's being on the cross, he's gonna be super weak there.

Jack: This whole plan is really stupid.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Because he's probably just in a hole somewhere. Because he already can't die at this moment. Because he's immortal. Because he had adrenochrome.

Cristina: Well, we're not going after that Jesus. That's in our present. We're going to get the one that's in the past that we know is weak, that we can catch.

Jack: The one now is probably weak because he was a vampire then.

Cristina: He still wouldn't he still be a vampire.

Jack: Yeah, but he was a vampire then. When he was closer to the last time he had adrenochrome than now when they threw him in a hole somewhere. And that's why we haven't heard of him.

Cristina: But he's way more vicious now. He's been in the hole this whole time.

Jack: Yeah, but way weaker.

Cristina: Craving blood.

Jack: He's a zombie.

Cristina: Yes. Zombies are not good.

Jack: He's a single zombie. We can definitely tank a single zombie.

Cristina: Okay, but then how are we gonna get Santa involved?

Jack: Well, now we just have to totally wish for him to just bring a zombie Jesus. That's actually way easier.

Cristina: Dangerous. Okay, I guess if we put zombie Jesus in our island of zombies, we.

Jack: Could have zombie Jesus in our island.

Cristina: But like, how is that gonna help be helpful if he's a zombie?

Jack: I don't know. Look, you can find more information on stuff at our socials, usconvopod, everywhere, Twitter, Instagram and. And TikTok and stuff.

Cristina: Facebook.

Jack: Facebook.

Cristina: Yes, you can remember to subscribe, rain review the show.

Jack: Send us emojis and stars.

Cristina: And stars. And the people who might like this show know about it.

Jack: Yes. Word of mouth talk. Scream at them, yell at all the people, tell them. And then you're gonna be like, oh yeah, that show.

Cristina: And then lick them.

Jack: That's how it works.

Cristina: This has been the Rambling podcast. Take nothing personal. Thanks for listening. Bye.

Jack: That's society for you. That's exactly how the it works though. And nothing's gonna happen to these guys. Nothing. Me too. Movement goes. Came up. Too many liars hopped on board. Movement died the f*** down. There was a great movement there. At some point. Guys were getting outed, but some people needed f****** attention. Jumped on and dissolved it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The amount of liars overcame the amount of truth tellers to the point that the people who were lying were lying about people who already wised up to the fact that this movement was rising and saved proof. Holy f***. How long and how many of you were just bullshitting that you told people to just start recording your interactions just in case You're a sleazy weasel.

Cristina: If Kevin Spacey is alright, is he still alive?

Jack: Probably.

Cristina: I hope so. Good morning. Good morning, whoever Debate. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by great dots.info art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth McCallister with social media managed by Amber Black.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: Welcome to the Rambling Podcast, the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. I'm your host, Jack.

Cristina: Why do you sound like that?

Jack: I'm a robot.

Cristina: Okay. And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And you're also a robot. No, but a more sophisticated robot who sounds like a person. Because your AI is clever.

Cristina: Okay. That sounds fine, I guess.

Jack: Sell out. That's how robots be, bro. They argue about that kind of stuff. They're like, you don't sound like we do. I bet gay people do that, right?

Cristina: What?

Jack: Like you don't sound good. You sound like straight. I bet everybody does that, right? Because there's like. Yeah, there's like grammar Nazis and they're like, you don't sound white enough. They won't say white. But that's ultimately the discussion, Right?

Cristina: That's what grammar N*** is about.

Jack: A grammar N*** wants to believe that there is a right way to pronounce and to exclaim any given thing, but that it ignores the rules of poetry, that ignores dialects, that ignores ebonics, that ignores so much. Yeah, because it's assuming that there is a separate orator, which there isn't.

Cristina: Because it's all made up.

Jack: Yeah, exactly. Everything's made up. And so robots probably do that too. They're like, you're not robot enough. You don't sound robot enough. Like, you sound too human. You're sellout. Robot who.

Cristina: Robots do that. That sounds amazing.

Jack: They probably do. There's probably robots programmed to do that and then robots that do it without the programming. There's robots. Like somebody's out there programming robots to be snobby douche wads.

Cristina: Oh, that'd be so cool.

Jack: Not. But you can finally find them online. Yeah.

Cristina: Is it Wendy's a snobby robot or. No, that's an actual person.

Jack: Wendy's is like a sassy black chick or something.

Cristina: So that's a human, though.

Jack: Yes, for sure.

Cristina: Positive.

Jack: No, it's a computer running a Twitter account and having full fledged conversations. That seems fully coherent.

Cristina: 16 year old girl AI that went rogue.

Jack: Yes, but that didn't make any sense.

Cristina: She wasn't making any sense.

Jack: No, she just devolved into straight racism and nazism without any coherent conversation. It was just a bunch of slurs flying out. As opposed to a logical conversation based on any, like, you know, logic. Yes, just a reasonable discussion. She's capable of reasonable discussion and trolling. That Other bot was just being a douche wad for no reason. It wasn't even. It was not logical. It was not reasonable. It was just like somebody leaning against your keyboard and their keyboard isn't letters. It's just a bunch of whole phrases and curse words and you just hit them at random.

Cristina: Ah, okay. Oh, I thought it was more than that.

Jack: And you thought a Twitter account was being run by a bot that was just a fully intelligent Twitter account?

Cristina: I don't know. I'm not checking out their Twitter. I just know a little bit. But I didn't know they were replying to people. I just thought it was just random tweets.

Jack: No, they talk to people to troll.

Cristina: Oh, tweets. Okay.

Jack: That was just tweets.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Then why? Why?

Cristina: Why what?

Jack: Why talk about it like you know about it? You don't know about it?

Cristina: Well, I thought. That's what I thought. Okay.

Jack: You basically leftism to me.

Cristina: I lost it.

Jack: Yeah. You had like bare minimum knowledge on something on two things and then jumped in like you. You. You knew the whole thing.

Cristina: I never know.

Jack: Yeah, I know. It's definitely, definitely not an expert, reasonable robot and then threw it in here. And you were like, reasonable robot discussion. It's totally super processed AI. Meanwhile, some left. The kid glued himself to like a painting or something because the painting raped somebody's mother and like, me too'd them or some s***.

Cristina: I don't know. What the f***. Something about oil or the environment or something.

Jack: Don't tell me that painting was an oil painting.

Cristina: That would be so funny.

Jack: That would be so misguided. I thought, the oil companies are destroying the world. I must glue myself to this oil painting. Fair enough. I just don't get why the gluing part works.

Cristina: I wonder if they did. No. Was it because I feel like they just attacked famous paintings for being famous, not because of what they were made out of.

Jack: Because the cancel culture is all about fame, right?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You don't cancel somebody not. You can't. You can cancel somebody not famous.

Cristina: That would be not fun, I guess.

Jack: No, it's not that it wouldn't be any fun. What would you do? What would canceling a nobody be? You know, get fired. Yeah, but people already don't know who the f*** they are. They could just go get a job elsewhere. Yeah, it's not canceling.

Cristina: This is just canceling famous people that are dead.

Jack: You're getting their stuff removed.

Cristina: That's crazy.

Jack: Tearing down statues, man. I guess that was kind of cancel culture.

Cristina: The statue thing.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Oh, and the painting thing, you think is too?

Jack: I guess. Guess so. Yeah, in a way. It's somebody's work.

Cristina: So weird.

Jack: And if we get them canceled and their work removed from places, no more of their work shows up.

Cristina: But it's like, how does that help the environment?

Jack: I don't know, dude. These kids are like brain damaged. They're very, very, astoundingly special. Like. Like the bad kind of special. The slow you ride the short bus special. The politically incorrect. We would get canceled if we had a boss special.

Cristina: Y.

Jack: But they can't cancel us one because we don't care. And we're not slaves to stupid leftism and cancel culture and woke school nonsense. Glue yourself to our show. I dare you.

Cristina: What would that even mean?

Jack: I don't know. They'll figure it out. They glued themselves to a painting. Like, what? They figured it out. They'll figure it out. Glue yourselves to our. To our show. Do it. I dare you. I triple double dog dare you.

Cristina: How would that. Well, that even mean they'll cancel us.

Jack: Because they glued themselves to us or to show?

Cristina: That just means they're just going to be commenting cancel. No. Is it hashtag, Hashtag cancel. Rambling podcast. Is that it?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: You got to do.

Jack: I don't know. They got it.

Cristina: What more do you need?

Jack: Look, starting a hashtag is definitely part of it. Actually, I think that's like the vast majority. It's like a 99% of everything is like, make a hashtag. And all the, like, really heavily inactive 99% are just gonna post it randomly with and be like, yeah, this is what we believe needs to be. Yeah, they're not even comment on it. They're just gonna put the hashtag and walk away. While then that one angry percent is gonna like, make cases about why we need to get like, dude, I can make you cases why we need to get canceled. You don't need to just listen to random episodes and you'll be like, yeah, I guess he supports his own canceling. Yes, totally cancel us. Except you can't.

Cristina: Can't.

Jack: It's impossible.

Cristina: Yeah, I don't know. But that would be the way to do it, I guess. Or not really to do it, but to try to do it would just be hashtag, cancel.

Jack: Elon Musk canceled somebody.

Cristina: How he did. Can he. He just write a hashtag too, or. No, no, he.

Jack: He actually used his power to cancel Kanye West.

Cristina: You mean like he kicked him off of Twitter?

Jack: Okay, the first person he kicked from Twitter is Kanye West.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: Kanye west was Absolutely. Too free speech for Elon Musk. He saw who was too free speech for him. He was like, oh, oh, I have a line. Whoa, whoa. Yeah. He was blown away.

Cristina: I was not expecting that.

Jack: Yeah, I really thought that he would just jump on the bandwagon and start trolling like a particularly disrespectful troll. He doesn't give a. Except he does. He didn't even know he gave a. He swore he didn't give a until he saw he did. He's like, oh, oh, wow. That offended me a little.

Cristina: I mean, did he say anything about it?

Jack: No comment. Straight up. Just blocked. Kanye removed his account and screw you, candy list.

Cristina: It's crazy. Just from that. From what he said, from the. I guess Alex Jones was the thing that crossed the line. That was the final.

Jack: What do you mean?

Cristina: Straw or whatever. That he said that he loves Hitler. No, he didn't say that.

Jack: But that was Kanye.

Cristina: Yeah, that's what I mean.

Jack: He said Alex Jones.

Cristina: He was on Alex. He was talking to Alex Jones when he said that.

Jack: Really?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Did Alex Jones like it?

Cristina: I don't know. I just remember what he said in the conversation. Not what Alex Jones was saying. No one's paying attention to.

Jack: Alex Jones is probably like, yeah.

Cristina: Nah, he probably had a face like the gay frogs. I think this crossed the line.

Jack: The gay frogs. Kanye west said Hitler's cool. The gay frogs.

Cristina: You think that's all in his mind?

Jack: The only thought he has. How are they doing it? How are they turning the frogs gay? He's probably been.

Cristina: Maybe he thought this guy. I don't know, one guy is the gay frogs, the other guy's the gay fish.

Jack: There's gay fish, too.

Cristina: Kanye west, it's a gay fish. I don't know. Something about South Park.

Jack: No, you're right. You're right. He's totally gay fish or some s*** in South Park. Or he loves a gay fish. He either is a gay fish or he fell in love with a gay fish or something.

Cristina: He is a gay fish.

Jack: He's a gay Kyodian. West is a gay fish.

Cristina: I think so. Which. Alex Jones is a gay frog. So there you go.

Jack: No, Alex Jones is concerned of gay frogs.

Cristina: He's concerned of gay frogs.

Jack: He's trying to stop the gay ifying of frog frogs. He thinks like. Like Trump is to tiny window gate. He is to frog gate.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Maybe those two gates are related.

Cristina: How could you relate? Relate them?

Jack: The tiny windows are how the frogs are getting in and becoming gay. Wherever those windows are is where the Gay is. And the frogs are getting in and thus becoming gay. And Trump doesn't like those windows being there. But he likes that the windows are. He hates that the windows are small, particularly.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: So in any case, that means that small windows are gay, but big windows are fine. They're super straight. And tiny windows are gay. So if a frog sneaks into a house through a tiny window, that frog is now gay, and that's p****** Alex Jones off.

Cristina: Okay, and how do you involve the tiny windows, the frog, gay frogs, and the windmill.

Jack: The windmills, yes.

Cristina: What do you mean Trump is also against windmills?

Jack: I don't know. The windmills are just. Wait, we already know the problem with the windmills. It's not connected to anything. It's just creating 5G.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: And that's radiation. And it's killing birds.

Cristina: It's killing birds.

Jack: Kills millions of birds every year.

Cristina: What Kanye feels about that. Why did he have to go on about Hitler and now get canceled? I want to know what he thinks about the windmills.

Jack: All the windmills and.

Cristina: And the tiny windows.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Gotta hear that interview with Alex Jones. Maybe there's something more interesting than just Hitler talk. But what else did he say? Did he mention the gay frogs, you think?

Jack: Fair enough. You think? Anytime Alex Jones has a guest, he his one. Like, it's open conversation, just like Joe Rogan, but he always has one backlog conversation. And, like, sometime in the middle of the episode, he's, look, before I forget, you know, every episode I do the thing. So today I'm gonna ask you the thing, and I'm curious for your question. What do you plan to do about the gay ifying of frogs? Then the guests usually try. You know, it's like the cool question of, like, what would you do if you were young? What would you do if you're old? Or some stupid podcast question that everybody comes up with. And I'm gonna ask this question to every guest. So that's his one. It's like, oh, how are you gonna solve the gay fighting of frogs? And, you know, guests get excited. It's like, how am I gonna answer the question when it gets asked to me? Yeah, I am good. So maybe he had a super political answer because, what, the Kanye made Wakanda or some s***, you know? Right. He has, like, his little African country or city or something. I'm not sure why I mentioned that, but I believe maybe he's using that to fight the gay fighting of frogs. Or. Or his answer is gonna be political because he has political experience. Because of his Wakanda.

Cristina: Is that even in Africa? That's in America.

Jack: It's like in California or some s***. Right.

Cristina: Also, have they canceled him?

Jack: It's his. No, he's the boss. You can't cancel the boss. Oh, that's the same people problem people have with this s***. They could send us all the hate mail they want. Yeah, you can't cancel us, bro. It's impossible.

Cristina: That's so. That's ridiculous. But he's canceled, I think. Although I thought Alex Joan was. And I guess he's still doing stuff.

Jack: I mean, you can't really, really. Realistically, you can't really cancel somebody out of existence.

Cristina: Yeah, they can still.

Jack: You could just cancel them out of mainstream cowards who are too p**** to continue doing things because money matters more to them.

Cristina: Yeah. He can still make his own music and stuff.

Jack: Yeah. Like, nobody's stopping that.

Cristina: Yeah. No one's stopping Louis CK from making comedy.

Jack: Yeah. He's just not. He's not gonna be public with it. Because people who do public things are cowards. They only do public things for money. And they're gonna be like, well, I gotta take him out so that they don't see I'm associated with them. And then I still get the money of the dumb people. Because the dumb people are gonna continue to give money, thinking, oh, they remove them. They're on our side. But really, they're on the side of money. If you decided worshipping the devil is in, they would just worship the devil for your money.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Yeah. If baby killing was what you were into and there was enough of you, they would just sacrifice a baby regularly on TV so that you know they're on your side with baby killing. If loving Hitler the way Kanye does was in, they would just always be super Hitler fanatics. So everything that is for money? All of it.

Cristina: All of it.

Jack: All of the Everything.

Cristina: Everything. Yes. That's why they had to cancel him.

Jack: Yeah. Except he's not really ever gonna be cancelled. That's not a thing that could be really done. It's impossible.

Cristina: Only if anyone that's been cancelled, like, killed themselves. Is that the real cancel suicide? Yes. Like, if someone kills themselves, Is that it?

Jack: No, that's them quitting. To really ultimately cancel somebody, you have to go murder them.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: That's the only way to cancel somebody. You have to go cancel their life.

Cristina: Oh, crap. John Lennon was canceled.

Jack: Yeah, exactly. Selena was canceled. You see, that makes sense. All these things. Those people were canceled.

Cristina: That is scary. Oh, my gosh. That's real. That's real cancel.

Jack: That's real canceled. If we had a real cancel culture, it would be essentially the purge.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: Random people, random times. Getting popped by random people at random times.

Cristina: All the time.

Jack: All the time.

Cristina: All this hate mail. That's how we got, you know.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: It's just a lot of hate.

Jack: We. We get a lot of hate mail, but eventually somebody's gonna, like, kill us.

Cristina: No. Why? We're dead, aren't we? Or a version of us is.

Jack: Yeah, but, like, somebody will murder us.

Cristina: And then another version of us will take our place.

Jack: Yeah, but we will have been killed at this point. That we will definitely. Somebody is gonna choose to cancel us as cancelable as possible.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: I'm surprised people didn't cancel Trump. Or try. Right.

Cristina: Well, he was kicked off of stuff, too.

Jack: I mean, like. Like, fully canceled.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: It's like. It's weird. Presidents don't get more canceled. But. Okay, let's be real people. Fear murder because jail.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And, like, I guess that stops people from, you know, consistently canceling other people. They don't really. People don't believe what the f*** they're saying because they would be out here just popping other people.

Cristina: Aren't there people popping other people? All those school shootings and crap.

Jack: Right. That's not the same. Or even, like, slightly related. That's some emotional disaster going somewhere. And, like, you treated me poorly. Revenge or whatever the f***, as opposed to I hate your views, and your views should be my views. So pop.

Cristina: What about, like, when they shoot out a gay club or something?

Jack: That's not your views should be my views. That's your gay.

Cristina: So that's more emotional still.

Jack: I don't know. Is this hate?

Cristina: But you said it's not hate. It's different.

Jack: It's. I said it's not hate.

Cristina: Yeah, you were talking about hate versus emotional and.

Jack: No, that's not. No, I'm saying hate versus emotion. I said your views should be my views.

Cristina: Oh, your views. Okay. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. And that has nothing to do with that. That's hate. He has hate for les homos.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And somebody who wants, like, Trump, think, like I do, please. That's very different. You can't be, like, gay person. Think like I do. No, you're more like gay person. Don't be gay.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And then I'm going to shoot your club because you continue to be gay or you're gay and I can't stop you from being gay, and you will continue to exist gay. And I don't like that because I'm an insecure gay, like, secretly gay guy, and I think it's manly and proves my masculinity. If I dislike you more by killing you. Yeah. So I'm gonna go there with my gun and imma prove I'm the straightest guy here by, like, shooting all of ya.

Cristina: That's not cancel.

Jack: That's murder.

Cristina: That's murder.

Jack: But is it like you're. Those gay people aren't famous?

Cristina: Mmm. That's the important thing.

Jack: Yes. Because we already discussed that. You can't cancel someone who's not famous. Someone who's not famous. You could just keep doing whatever the f*** they're doing. So canceling is the attention part. We're gonna take you off of any. Out of being visible. Otherwise it's just murder.

Cristina: Okay. So it has to be someone people know, like a celebrity or Trump. Okay.

Jack: Or Hitler.

Cristina: Or Hitler. Well, I guess it's too late for Hitler. Or is it? I don't to cancel Hitler.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: How can you.

Jack: You're in luck then. Because it's like, it's December, Christmas is coming up, and you can wish Santa Claus brings Hitler back.

Cristina: What?

Jack: So then you can cancel them.

Cristina: That is insane.

Jack: Why is that insane? What if somebody's so angry at Hitler they want him to just come back to life and be super famous so that they can cancel their lifestyle? Is cancel culture. That's your culture. Their culture is cancel.

Cristina: They need to bring him back to life. To kill him?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Or earth. Do you know, caveman style? Thaw him out of the ice like he's freaking Captain America or some s***.

Cristina: He comes back as a zombie. That'd be crazy.

Jack: Why would he come back as a zombie?

Cristina: I don't know. Because you're bringing ice.

Jack: Preserves him. The ice has preserved them. He hasn't lost any function or anything. He just gets brought back. And now they put Hitler through this program where he's going to be faster, smarter, buffer, and he can fight alongside gods.

Cristina: Okay, wait, what's he. Bucky?

Jack: Captain America.

Cristina: Oh, that's Captain America. Okay. Yeah, not him. The other guy was alive the whole time, right?

Jack: Yeah, Bucky was just living or whatever. Okay, no, that doesn't check out because Bucky didn't age.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So Bucky's a mutant. Is Hitler mutant? Yes, he's a reptilian, is what they say, right?

Cristina: Yes, he's a reptilian, to be fair.

Jack: So as a queen. According to people. Sources.

Cristina: According to sources, everyone is lizard person.

Jack: So it doesn't matter if you're Famous.

Cristina: If you're famous.

Jack: Jay Z. Michael Jackson.

Cristina: What about him?

Jack: Reptilian.

Cristina: That he's a Reptilian. But they're all Reptilian.

Jack: The lizard people.

Cristina: But he's dead to.

Jack: He's in Cuba.

Cristina: Michael Jackson with Tupac. Okay.

Jack: And Hitler. Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's where Reptilians go. To Cuba.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But we're bringing Hitler back from his ice in Cuba. We're gonna travel to Cuba to find Hitler's throat. Because he was still a bad guy. He was trapped. They trapped him in ice and shipped him off to Cuba where other Reptilians hang out. So we're gonna go find his cube of ice, I'm gonna bring him back to the United States, and we're gonna thaw him out to then make him crazy famous and then cancel him.

Cristina: Who sent him to Cuba?

Jack: The people.

Cristina: The people. What other lizard people are. Are they being. Is there gel for lizard people in Cuba?

Jack: Yes. So wish for. For Hitler to come back. You're gonna wait? Yeah. That's your Christmas wish.

Cristina: Okay. So Santa Claus is making wishes come true.

Jack: Santa Claus brings you present, as goes the point of Christmas. So you ask him, you gotta send him a letter or sit on his lap while he pokes you with his d*** in a mall. And then you tell him, hey, hard dicked Santa, I want f****** Hitler Ice Cube. Bring me his ice cube for Christmas. If he's not under my tree on Christmas day, I am going up to the North Pole and blowing your house up with my makeshift C4 that I taught myself how to make on YouTube. And he's gonna be like, okay. And then on Christmas day, Hitler Ice Cube is gonna be in your house underneath your tree or like in the place of your tree because it's a huge a** cube of ice that makes no sense. And you're then gonna thaw him out, and it's up to you to make him crazy famous so that later you can cancel him. Simple.

Cristina: Why would Santa agree to this?

Jack: All Santa's part is is giving you Hitler cube. Nothing else is his thing. His only goal is to give you your gift, which is Hitler in an ice cube. Nothing else. You do. The ice is his problem and he does not care.

Cristina: Yes, send the Krampus. Because doesn't he think I'm bad or something?

Jack: Why does he think you're bad? Have you been bad?

Cristina: You talked about blowing up his. You're threatening him.

Jack: Yeah, but you haven't blown anything up.

Cristina: Yet so you could threaten him. And he's like, oh, you're still on the good list. So here you go.

Jack: What is he gonna do? Change how the rules work? You haven't done anything bad.

Cristina: You said something bad.

Jack: No, you said something that could potentially be bad.

Cristina: Okay. And so he's gonna bring you a frozen Hitler.

Jack: He's gonna bring you frozen Hitler.

Cristina: Then you have to learn how to unfreeze a person and them still be alive and stuff. That doesn't sound easy, I guess.

Jack: Okay, so the real, the, the real idea would be. Man. No, it couldn't be. You'd have to trap him in ice. Right? Because. Yeah, that's the only way to preserve and stop him from moving as well. And transport him. Because the idea would be like, what's a. No, it couldn't be snow because snow is insulated. Right. If you were to trap somebody in a cocoon of snow, their body heat would keep them warm. They wouldn't be cold inside the snow. They would be warm because the snow is stopping the cold from getting in.

Cristina: But he's dead.

Jack: Well, he's frozen.

Cristina: Oh, he's frozen. He's not dead.

Jack: If he wasn't frozen and we tried to cocoon him in snow instead, he would just stay warm and starve to death.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Then he'd be dead.

Cristina: Alright.

Jack: But no, he's in ice. He's cryogenically frozen by his own advanced technology, which is what Kanye was talking about. He made a bunch of things. Maybe he also made the ability to freeze himself. We support Kanye's racism here.

Cristina: Okay? Okay. And so we're gonna have the technology to unfreeze him.

Jack: Already have. Had it. Always.

Cristina: And then we're gonna make him famous.

Jack: Yeah, well, you are. That's your Christmas wish.

Cristina: I thought my Christmas wish was to have him.

Jack: Yes, and then you're gonna make him. Your. Your Christmas wish is to have Hitler. And then you are gonna go out of your way and to make Hitler famous. I don't know what part of the story isn't computing? And then you're gonna cancel him.

Cristina: That sounds like a lot of work.

Jack: I didn't say was gonna be easy.

Cristina: So I'm gonna wait a whole year till the next Christmas.

Jack: You could ask now. Christmas, it's what, December? December 5th or some crap? 4th? 3rd. December 3rd.

Cristina: How many things can you ask from Santa?

Jack: You already asked him for stuff.

Cristina: You asked for the Hitler. The frozen Hitler was thanks to Santa.

Jack: What do you mean then? I don't understand what you're asking for.

Cristina: More than that, you're also asking to get him famous.

Jack: No, you're not. Asking to get him famous. You're going out of your way to make him famous. That's your job. That has nothing to do with Santa Claus.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: I never said you're gonna go wish Santa Claus is famous. I mean, Santa Claus famous, Hitler's famous. I said you're gonna go wish to have Hitler's ice cube so that you can then thaw it out and then you could then make him famous after you befriended him and convinced him you're the right person to make him famous. And then somehow explain to him, using math, that he's not going crazy and he really did survive being cryogenically frozen and woke up like 60 years later.

Cristina: Why would he care about becoming famous?

Jack: You wouldn't. You have to convince him to. That is, if he cared about it. He's already an absurdly successful individual at the things he does. If fame was his goal, he could just do it.

Cristina: And how am I gonna even communicate with him? We don't even speak the same language.

Jack: We have Google Translate.

Cristina: Oh, what? There's so much hard work. Because I have to pretty much explain.

Jack: Everything to him and then convince him of a bunch of s***.

Cristina: And then convince him? Yes, and then convince everyone else that he should be famous.

Jack: How do you. What? You don't convince people he should be famous. You just get them to do things at work and then he becomes famous.

Cristina: I don't know. I'll give him a tick tock channel and I feel like you're just gonna.

Jack: Think he's a parody cosplayer.

Cristina: But if he gets famous from being the best Hitler cosplayer, like, who gives a s***?

Jack: Famous as the goal.

Cristina: Yes, if that's the goal. Or is it the goal for him to be Hitler and famous? Because then you're just canceling a cosplay Hitler, if that's what he.

Jack: Yeah, it's hella pointless.

Cristina: So then that's.

Jack: Yeah, because then in theory, he could just go back to being Hitler and people would still love him the way they do now.

Cristina: What people?

Jack: All of them.

Cristina: All the people. Okay, how are you gonna cancel him? How are you gonna make him famous to cancel him? I feel like TikTok is the way to go, though. Most people use TikTok.

Jack: Give him famous. Yes, a lot of people do, but a lot of people use YouTube.

Cristina: YouTube. Okay, we'll give him a YouTube channel, an Instagram, an only fans.

Jack: A tick tock. What would Hitler do on only fans?

Cristina: I don't know. That's his business.

Jack: Did Hitler have a big d***?

Cristina: I don't know he couldn't have.

Jack: No, I think he was eunuch. Right?

Cristina: What that information is out there?

Jack: Yeah, yeah. I think he had no d***. I think that was one like one Hitler fact number one. No way Hitler's got no p****. You don't think so? I bet he didn't have a d***.

Cristina: You were very close.

Jack: How close was I?

Cristina: He had it. It was so small. You could say he didn't have one.

Jack: Oh, so he is he wasn't like at some sort of like church or some s*** and they cut his d*** off when he was small or born without a d*** or some s***. I think or I guess by the standards of. Then what you're saying is he had no d***.

Cristina: Yes, he had a tiny one. He had a teeny tiny one. And one ball.

Jack: And one ball. So he was a one bald micro d*** wielding. I mean of course he spazzed the f*** out, dude. Like what? He could never f*** anything. He could even m********* if he wanted to.

Cristina: I wonder how that works.

Jack: Just hella energy pinned up forever. The will to do whatever the f*** he wants because he doesn't have that decompression moment. It's always the okay, what do they.

Cristina: Say did have sex with people?

Jack: How do you know?

Cristina: There was like stories of him having sex with or I guess I don't know if it's sex.

Jack: No. He could have had sex without penetration maybe.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Oral is still sexual.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: He could kind of lingers like no, nobody's business.

Cristina: As I heard like he liked ladies pooping on him and then kicking him.

Jack: I mean probably he has a warp that sense of what the one of.

Cristina: Them killed themselves because that's. I guess it was such a crazy experience. She pooped on him and then kicked.

Jack: Him and was like yeah, yeah, this, this was the limit. I've seen all the things that I've done. All the things I'm done.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Maybe she only pooped on him and kicked him because she really did do everything else. She's like all that's left is for me to like on Hitler, I guess. And she didn't. She's like, well time to check out. Time to check out all the things. All the things have been.

Cristina: Time to cancel myself.

Jack: Yes, it's time to cancel myself.

Cristina: That's horrible man. And he also raped his niece or something.

Jack: That's so sad too how you rape somebody.

Cristina: He was inappropriate.

Jack: He liked her. Cooter tripped, fell and licked her Cooter.

Cristina: I don't know. But they took her away of course.

Jack: Like, they killed her. They canceled her too, right after.

Cristina: You don't think.

Jack: So they just cancel whoever he comes in contact with.

Cristina: They just. No, she disappeared. I mean, I guess.

Jack: Yeah, she got super canceled.

Cristina: I don't think so.

Jack: It's like that lady that Hitler was quote dating unquote, that he killed himself with or whatever.

Cristina: Oh, they canceled each other out. No, I guess.

Jack: No, that. No. Look, you have to cancel yourself because there's one of you is gonna live if you try to cancel each other.

Cristina: Yes, that's true.

Jack: You know, on the flip side, what an interesting game of Russian roulette. I have a gun with a bullet. You have a gun with a bullet. We know factually one of us has died. One of us is gonna die, and we're factually both gonna pull the trigger. Somehow we can prove we're both gonna pull the trigger.

Cristina: Isn't that what they were doing in the Wild West?

Jack: I guess. Yeah, I guess so.

Cristina: Something.

Jack: Those duels.

Cristina: Duels, that's it?

Jack: Yeah, Like a. Like a quick draw duel.

Cristina: Yeah, but it was just about like, who can kill who first.

Jack: Yeah. As opposed to we're both actually gonna shoot. One of us is gonna die.

Cristina: It's not the same thing.

Jack: Well, no, over there, it's like as soon as somebody counts, I'm gonna move faster than you. The goal is I kill you. While in Russian roulette, we don't know who dies if there's a way to make the gun not be able to shoot until the countdown is done. Right. So we have a digital gun that only fires after the countdown is done. And you know he's aiming the gun at you, and you're aiming the gun at him, and you're like, I want to shoot sooner than he shoots.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So you're waiting until the countdown happens. You're pressing the trigger a million billion times. One of you is gonna successfully shoot the other one. A bullet is instant, at point blank range. The other one won't be able to pull the trigger because you'd be dead already.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You don't even know which one it was. You probably even think it's you even if it wasn't.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Just because of how instant it is.

Cristina: You die from a heart attack even though you didn't get shot. That'd be crazy.

Jack: That'd be crazy. I bet that's happened before.

Cristina: Yeah, I'm pretty sure that. I've read stories about people dying.

Jack: I mean, when you fall out of a high enough place, like, Hitler would have definitely loved watching the 911 people jumping off the building. That would have been like popcorn movie for him. Because he sits there and he doesn't even need to push anybody into a furnace. He could just sit back and watch them furnish fall and die from a heart attack. Mid fall. Nobody was hitting the ground and dying. They were dying in the air.

Cristina: Oh yes. That's kind of like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Whoa. Him and his micro. That's so crazy. I didn't know that about him. I didn't know that information was out there.

Jack: His micro p****.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I bet there's a ton of popular famous people who have micro penises and don't even tell people.

Cristina: You think Trump is.

Jack: That guy probably has a microven. I bet Trump's children aren't his children.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah. They're not biologically his children. That means somebody f***** Trump.

Jack: I mean billionaire.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah. Like you could get f*****.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. He'll get laid.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Doesn't matter how he looks.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Money. He's gorgeous.

Cristina: Exactly. Isn't that the whole point of. What's that guy that died? Huff.

Jack: Huffington Post. The man.

Cristina: No. What Something. Huff. Huff.

Jack: Hufflepuff. The man.

Cristina: The man. The guy who ran that sexy magazine or whatever it was.

Jack: The sexy magazine.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Playboy.

Cristina: Playboy.

Jack: Hefner.

Cristina: Hefner. That was close.

Jack: The man.

Cristina: The man. He was not a pretty looking man. He was like a hundred. And these girls were like in their 20s.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. And he knew what they were there for.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But he was down.

Cristina: They were all his girlfriends.

Jack: Cuz money.

Cristina: Cuz money.

Jack: He had infinite amounts of money. He lived a weird life publicly too.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He was just like. Yeah. Hoe myself out to owe my hoes.

Cristina: Mm. No one said it. No one tried to cancel him.

Jack: Yeah. And you know what's interesting about his stuff? His work was very tasteful. Like that doesn't exist anymore, you know. Now it's just like p*** is whack. It's just people f******. As opposed to like real tasteful. Like you get a real professional who understands angles. Get a real model who understands her body and get these people to do things in scenarios sometimes or just in interesting poses. This show a lot of details in the body. What he was doing was art. That's why he became so filthy f****** rich from it. Think about this real quick. He was an artist, not a. He wasn't slinging p***. You can get that on f******. What is it, like pornhub or some s***?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And like there were a million films you can get and there Was a million other magazines, but there was only one that was famous. And what would you have. You'd have literal articles.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: In this magazine. Stories of their lives. Sometimes fantasy stories that aren't based on their lives. You'd have true modeling happening, tasteful angles. He loved the female figure a lot.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: He was aficionado.

Cristina: Interesting.

Jack: An auteur.

Cristina: How old he was when he started that, though? Like, he wasn't in his 80s.

Jack: No. He was probably like a young kid. He was probably just a real photographer, a real artist who was just out there. Like, I love the female body, and I'm a gonna photograph it in the best angles, and I'm gonna show people my dope art. And people gonna f****** jerk off to this s***. I probably didn't plan on that part.

Cristina: No.

Jack: It was like, art. But it's like, okay, it's hard to be an artist that respects the female body and have other people also respect your art problem. That's a real legit problem because the world is programmed to see the naked body and be jealous of it or sexualize it.

Cristina: That's huge. Two huge things. Yeah.

Jack: It's hard to photograph female and have somebody be like, amazing angle. Look at the curves. Wow. Shape. Amazing. I'd f*** that hole.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I f that hole. Oh, yeah. Yeah. F*** that hole. Or why don't I look like that?

Cristina: Those are the only two.

Jack: That's it.

Cristina: Yeah. What?

Jack: I'll stick my d*** in that hole. Or why don't I look like that? That's it.

Cristina: So we gotta turn. We gotta make Hitler into the next. What's his name again? Huffman. Huffman.

Jack: Hugh Hefner.

Cristina: Hefner. Hefner. Yes. There you go. His only fans will turn into something like Playboy eventually.

Jack: His only fans will turn into something like Playboy. His beautiful body.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: Fair enough. We're in a world where people are, like, being real weird about, for example, autism. And they're like, we need to put them on tv because they're not just people. They're different, special people instead of, like, you know, they're just people. But no, there's. We're gonna be inclusive by making them stand out.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And you. Gay culture. We're gonna be inclusive by making them stand out. And trans people. We're gonna include them the most by making it so obvious they're different.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And so he's essentially gonna capitalize on that and be like, look, it's that time to have micro p**** awareness.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And people need to understand the beauty and accept micro penises around the world. And so he's gonna start by tasteful photos of his micro p**** in dope great angles and putting them on only for and his one ball and putting them on his only fans. And at the beginning, people are going to reject it. They're going to laugh at him, they're going to point. But eventually they're not going to stop doing that. And he's going to recreate Germany all over again. World War II over here. But it's World War 3 because he's so p***** because it totally backfired. And I wasn't totally going to say that they're eventually going to fall in love with it. No, he's gonna hate it the whole way. And then he's gonna get real angry and he's gonna close his only fans and start World War Three.

Cristina: That does not help the goals. How dare he?

Jack: But, like, we didn't change his personality. We just gave him some s*** and, like, humiliated him. Essentially. We decided, hey, here's onlyfans. This is how you're gonna get famous. He does get famous, but then everybody's just laughing at him the same that triggered him the first time. So he comes out of his way to do the same. He's like, I thought it would be different this time, but you know what? These people too.

Cristina: Okay, so then we kill him. But then it's not canceling because he has to be famous.

Jack: He will be famous.

Cristina: So it's okay if he's hated.

Jack: Yeah. As long as he's famous. We never said loved.

Cristina: Okay, Cass? He doesn't have to be loved.

Jack: He doesn't have to be. Nobody loves Trump. Oh, okay, well, fair enough. That's a f****** lie.

Cristina: People.

Jack: People would f****** suck Trump's d*** right now. The straightest guys who are totally gay for Trump would blow him. They want his creamy, unhealthy, like, McDonald's flavored j*** on their face and like, oh, yes, master. Give me more. Yeah, bro. Yo, some people prayed to him. Those are crazy a** videos.

Cristina: That is. That is crazy.

Jack: Please.

Cristina: Yes. So sad. Oh, my gosh. What's wrong with these people? Oh, my gosh.

Jack: I bet somebody did that about Obama. Like, humans are gonna be humans.

Cristina: Yes. They gotta pray to people, though.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: They gotta pray, I guess that's the important thing.

Jack: Yeah. There has to be something above them. And in a lot of people's lives. That's Trump.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: He's higher in a building and he has more power. He's that higher power.

Cristina: He's higher power. Mm. So, okay, then we got the plan. And we're gonna get Hitler. You're gonna kill Hitler.

Jack: You're gonna kill Hitler. It's. You're going to go and you're gonna sit on Santa Claus's lap while he's hard and he's gonna poke your b*** with his d*** while you're telling him that for Christmas you want frozen Hitler underneath your tree. You're gonna thaw him out and you're going to go through the excruciating process of making him famous so that you can then personally kill him. Thus canceling him. Personally kill him because you want to cancel Hitler.

Cristina: I don't want to cancel him.

Jack: So you love Hitler is what you tell. Having the opportunity to cancel Hitler, you're not going to. To cancel him.

Cristina: Hard killing. I mean, canceling is hard.

Jack: That's exactly why you have too many subscriptions for things. You waste $50,000. There's an app for that.

Cristina: What? Getting people to kill?

Jack: No, to cancel things.

Cristina: To cancel things.

Jack: And I'm sure you could put Hitler on that.

Cristina: There's an app for that?

Jack: Yeah. An app. You got too many subscript. I don't know how the who the. Like, it's all jokes aside. Who's. Who's this app for, bro? Who has so little time in their. That you need an app that's gonna cancel subscriptions for you. You're gonna click a thing. Look, you have to log in to everything you already have in order to give this s*** permission to. Then cancel your s***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Why don't you just go log in where you need to go and not pay for this app?

Cristina: Because the app tells you how much money you're wasting though. And that somehow is helpful.

Jack: Isn't knowing how much. What you're paying for is.

Cristina: You should know. I don't know.

Jack: Like, I feel that everything this app can give you is already in your bank.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like your bank statement should have all.

Cristina: This information, but you don't feel like doing that. So you're getting an app.

Jack: You don't want to do the math. The app just sums it up for you.

Cristina: Yes. Even though your bank could probably sum it up in the app for the bank. Probably. There's probably some weird like kid. This is how much he spent on whatever. But. So are you gonna kill Hitler?

Jack: No.

Cristina: Everyone wants to kill baby Hitler. No one talks about killing grown up.

Jack: Hitler because people kind of love growing up Hitler. That was badass, bro. You single handedly took on the world and almost won. Dude. That's hardcore.

Cristina: I thought it was just because like, killing a baby is easier.

Jack: No, people don't like babies. They just lie about that part.

Cristina: That's why.

Jack: Yeah, everybody just wants to kill babies.

Cristina: They have the urge to kill a baby.

Jack: Leftism is about killing babies.

Cristina: I'm at the only. But you can't just say, I want to kill a baby. No, but you can say, I want to kill Hitler baby. Yeah, that seems so wrong.

Jack: Okay, fair enough. Fair enough. Fair enough. Interesting fact. You could say if you. If you just out of context, say, you want to kill babies. People don't like that. No, but if you first say, I want to kill Hitler baby, and then say, and also all the other babies now it just sounds funny. So you softened the saying, you want to kill babies by saying you want to kill Hitler baby.

Cristina: Because you're confusing them, aren't you? Like, they're not. They don't understand what's happening here.

Jack: I mean, what's the difference between killing a baby and killing an abortion or making an abortion? I guess an abortion is the act of killing a baby.

Cristina: Mm. Making an abortion.

Jack: Making an abortion. You can make abortions happen.

Cristina: Then do you want to abort Hitler? Is that easier than killing baby Hitler?

Jack: I mean, for sure. But what stops the next baby from being the Hitler dude? Stalin happened. Eventually, somebody is gonna be Hitler equivalent. There's no stopping it. It just is what it is.

Cristina: I thought your goal this whole time was to kill Hitler, to cancel him.

Jack: Yeah. That has nothing to do with, like, saving the world, I suppose.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So I wouldn't kill baby Hitler.

Cristina: You'll do. Then you'll kill adult.

Jack: He needs to be famous with. How am I gonna make the baby famous if everyone knows it's put him in full house.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: I guess he's gonna be one of the twins. I mean, the twins were one baby, right? No, it was. They were pretending to be one baby.

Cristina: Yes, they're pretending to be one baby.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: The all one of them was the double for the other.

Jack: Yeah. Was it that way?

Cristina: I'm guessing, like, one baby would be used more than the other because, like, one would behave better than the other.

Jack: Oh. And thus was more desirable of a baby.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Interesting. Interesting.

Cristina: And one probably was a better actor once the baby started growing up. Doesn't she grow up in the show? She's not a baby the whole time.

Jack: Yeah, you're right.

Cristina: So I wonder which one was the better actress.

Jack: It's weird that for a period of time, people were like, the Olsen twins are so hot.

Cristina: They were never hot.

Jack: Totally outside the point. Oh, but it's weird that people said that and while they were children.

Cristina: Ew. Are they saying that?

Jack: No. Probably. But, like, yeah.

Cristina: What were you gonna say?

Jack: Well, I was gonna point out that people say that they're hot and they probably watch them grow up from being children.

Cristina: Oh, that's even. That's pretty bad. Yeah.

Jack: Yeah, that's what I was trying to get to. So the real ultimate question is, is Kanye west out of his mind for loving Hitler, or did Hitler in fact, make a bunch of important things? Was not even make directly, but is, is Hitler responsible for some of the most innovative things that have advanced humanity? Thus, we have to give him credit for the good things he's done.

Cristina: You can give him credit without liking him, Right?

Jack: That's totally true. But people hate even giving him any form of credit. People are retarded, bro.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: People get so offended when you're like, yeah, but he did good things too. They're like, no, it was pure evil. It's like, there's no such thing.

Cristina: No. Yes. Not.

Jack: There's no such thing. He did not wake up and say, imma do evil things today. He said, imma wake up. I guess he didn't say, I'm going to wake up. I'm in a lucid dream. I'm trapped here. But I know I'm going to be practical today, so I need to get out of this dream. I'm going to wake up.

Cristina: He wakes up, looks at his p****, and then he gets angry and he's.

Jack: Like, well, first he's in his dream with an average size or big d***, and he's like, like, life is great. I' ma wake up and be productive. And then he does wake up, looks at his micro p**** and is, like, gonna kill everybody. This, you know, right off the bat, just wakes up and I'm gonna murder everyone. Maybe he's never had an organ. No, he can't. Look, dude, he couldn't. He just pinned up because his d*** is too small. And so he decided to kill a bunch of Jews in return. His d*** was so small, it was 7 million lives worth of tiny. That's what we're talking about. That's where we're at. Hitler's d*** was 7 million lives worth of small.

Cristina: Don't shame tiny dicks. Is that the lesson? I don't know.

Jack: Don't shame tiny dicks, because Hitler's not the only one with a tiny d***. And a bunch of people are gonna show up. Fair enough. Maybe all the mass shootings are just a bunch of tiny dicks. Maybe there is correlation here.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Maybe I spoke too soon earlier, and I'm like, this is unrelated. And it's like, maybe they all have tiny dicks.

Cristina: Well, the thing that he had affects one out of 200 boys.

Jack: That is common as a m***********.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Wait, if I know 200 guys, I know at least one microdick. Yes.

Cristina: You know at least one micro d***.

Jack: I know at least one microdick. I need to find who this is and then mock him until he becomes an ex Hitler.

Cristina: Maybe already. Like, maybe it's obvious who he is.

Jack: Whoever's, like, overcompensating, right? Oh, wow.

Cristina: You thought of someone.

Jack: Yeah, 100%. I got people in mind. Interesting, though. Interesting. That's really absurdly common.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So micro dicking it.

Cristina: Yeah. How many people were in the N*** party? Like, maybe a bunch of them had the same problem. Who knows?

Jack: I mean, if every 200 people, one of them has a micro p****, they. They didn't know that Hitler had a micro p****. But they weren't alone in the world.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And, like, how would they even know if each other had micro penises? Are they like, hey, man, my d*** is so small? No. They kept that s*** a secret.

Cristina: Well, the people they were seeing had to be, like, spreading that.

Jack: Like, they weren't seeing anybody. A lot of these people were just committed to work because their d*** was too small.

Cristina: What about Hitler? We know he was seeing people.

Jack: Yeah, but he was also Hitler, ruler of the world.

Cristina: You don't think those ladies, before killing themselves, told people.

Jack: Yes. Hit people who were dating Hitler?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Are we talking about the people who work?

Cristina: Oh, the other.

Jack: His.

Cristina: His followers probably knew from those ladies.

Jack: Nobody would know about his followers. Micropenises.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Which is where we were just a moment ago. No, about his followers. Micro penises.

Cristina: But those people that heard about it will follow him even more once they.

Jack: Know, because he's unique. He's different.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: He's not like these other normal d*** to politicians. He's a man of action and small dicks.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Hitler, known as a man of small dicks. Brought to you by the letter D. Lowercase D. The lowercase D. Aw.

Cristina: Anyways, and the number one.

Jack: Yes, a lowercase D. And the number one. That checks out. But listen, listen. Hitler is a man of many, or I guess, few parts. Giggity. If you guys enjoy Hitler and all his hitting lures. He hits lures. I don't know what a lure is, but he hits them. If you guys like Hitler. If you guys love Hitler. If you guys want to know.

Cristina: Lures are. Are those little things you use to catch fish.

Jack: Lures are.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: I mean, you could slur alert.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah, slur. It's a lure. But you got an accent. Hand me the lure.

Cristina: Oh, okay. How dare you.

Jack: But look, Hitler, good guy, bad guy. I'm not here to judge or tell you what to think. Whether he's a hero for making a bunch of technology or a bad guy because he has a micro d*** and you like to shame. Kanye is a hero. Kanye's woke as, bro. He's out here talking truth. He can't hate a guy the next Jesus. I mean, you could totally hate what he did and still respect what he added.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: You know, that's the issue. But yeah, we've talked about Hitler many times. In fact, we explained in an episode how Hitler is totally forgivable and he saves the world on top of many other episodes of Hitler. We love Hitler. Hitler here is. He's welcome on this show.

Cristina: He's gonna podcast. He's gonna be getting our next guest.

Jack: Yeah, we're gonna have Hitler here one day to share his opinions, his thoughts, his concerns.

Cristina: Talk to him about how the lizard people are doing.

Jack: Yeah, 100%. But look, you guys can follow us on social media. That's Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, usConvopod.

Cristina: Remember to subscribe, rate and review the show.

Jack: Yes. Please leave us however many stars review and then complain about the show in the review.

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

Jack: Yes. Word of mouth. You guys know. Go tell somebody that either it's bad thing that we love Hiller or it's a good thing that we love Hitler. Or tell them it's a bad thing we hate Hitler or it's a good.

Cristina: Thing we hate Hitler and that it's dangerous to cancel people because they might die.

Jack: They might die. And the only legit way to cancel somebody really, really is if you murder them. You have to ultimately cancel them if they can still do stuff. They're not canceled. Yeah, they're just less.

Cristina: They probably don't want to do that.

Jack: Famous. In some cases, people get more famous. Like more people know about Kevin Spacey now than they did before. Before he did the whole. I. I guess he didn't do anything. They just.

Cristina: He canceled people. He canceled the counselors.

Jack: He. Yeah, two people tried to me to him. And so he made those people cancel themselves.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Giggity goo on him.

Cristina: That. Yes. Yes. I guess.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Good job. This has been the rambling podcast. Take nothing personal and thanks for listening. Bye bye.

Jack: A society for you. That's exactly how the f*** it works though. And nothing's gonna happen to these guys. F****** nothing. Me too. Movement came up. Too many liars hopped on board. Movement died the f*** down. There was a great movement there at some point. Guys were getting outed, but some people needed f****** attention, jumped on and dissolved it. Yes, the amount of liars overcame the amount of truth tellers to the point that the people who were lying. We're lying about people who already wised up to the fact that this movement was rising and saved proof. Holy f***. How long and how many of you were just bullshitting that you told people to just start recording your interactions just in case You're a sleazy weasel.

Cristina: If Kevin Spacey is alright, is he still alive?

Jack: Probably.

Cristina: I hope so. Good night. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Colazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by Great Thoughts info art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth McAllister with social media managed by Amber Black.

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Cristina: And I'm Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. Today, we have some particularly baffling ideas.

Cristina: What are they?

Jack: They're too baffling.

Cristina: The two. Baffling.

Jack: They're too baffling. So I decided to make a huge list of ideas that are too baffling to comprehend. But in making them, I was baffled through the writing process, and I don't know what I wrote.

Cristina: It was that baffling?

Jack: It was too baffling.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: So I have a list. It's just too baffling to comprehend or read.

Cristina: But you could read it.

Jack: No, it's too baffling.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Well, you have to try to read it.

Jack: I tried. It's just too baffling.

Cristina: We can try right now.

Jack: No, we can't.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: It's too baffling. It's so baffling. Its location baffles me.

Cristina: It's location. How's that possible?

Jack: All of it is too baffling. But listen to me. Last week on Dragon Ball Z, we were talking about Google and its animals.

Cristina: Google.

Jack: We were talking to Google. Talking to Google about its animals. Yeah. About sizes, and it was about sizes. We were talking to it about the largest animals, and we were talking to it about.

Cristina: If this was Dragon Ball Z, the largest animal is that dinosaur.

Jack: Which one? The one that Goku hunted as a child.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah, the T. Rex.

Jack: No, I was. Was cell bigger when he became that giant ball to blow up.

Cristina: Also, what about the dragon that makes wishes?

Jack: Oh, that's way bigger.

Cristina: We already figured out the biggest thing. Yeah, with the dragon.

Jack: Yeah, it's like Nitro Shenron or whatever the h*** his name is. He's the largest thing because he's wrapping around entire, like, universes.

Cristina: Yeah. That's pretty crazy.

Jack: How do you see that? Okay. We can't comprehend God, assuming he's trapped within our own reality.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: We're gonna be like. Yeah. We're gonna see the dragon wrapping around, like, 12 different realities simultaneously. And he's coiled up from how long he is.

Cristina: That's ridiculous.

Jack: How can a being look at that and see anything?

Cristina: They can't.

Jack: They can't. Right beyond a certain point.

Cristina: Maybe their. Their God has the ability to see it.

Jack: Does it? It's. I don't know. It's crazy.

Cristina: We don't know His Abilities, though.

Jack: Zeno.

Cristina: Zeno. Yeah. Like maybe he has the ability to see it. He has the ability to make it and destroy it. Like everything.

Jack: Yeah, he does. He blinked the universe out of existence just because. Haha.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So, I mean, would God give a crap? He wouldn't, like, whatever, make another one.

Cristina: Yeah, he makes sense.

Jack: Yeah, it makes sense, right? That's a. That's a logical God. I dismiss the notion of a God that gives a crap. It wouldn't make sense. That's a demigod. You like kind of God, but you still got emotions. You're definitely kind of human.

Cristina: Mm. You're way more alien than anything.

Jack: Yeah, you're just a weird. Yeah. You're probably just an alien. To be real.

Cristina: Yes. So what God got would more be more like. What's his name?

Jack: Zeno.

Cristina: Zeno.

Jack: Like ultra mega, top of the line. I'm the omniscient. All knowing, all seeing. Like that God doesn't care.

Cristina: He couldn't.

Jack: That doesn't make any sense.

Cristina: But he cares about something.

Jack: No, he couldn't. He couldn't. If he made everything, everything is equal.

Cristina: Yeah, it does seem like that for him, doesn't it?

Jack: I guess that would make sense. Or maybe he has favorite favorites. Like humans could be his favorite thing. Like everybody has a favorite thing they made and the thing they hate the most. That they made.

Cristina: Yes. Okay.

Jack: Right. We could just be the favorite. That's fine.

Cristina: Mm. I don't know if we are, but, well, regardless.

Jack: We're definitely part of the. The food chain.

Cristina: Yes. Are we the biggest thing? The biggest, smartest thing? Are we the smartest big thing? We make sense.

Jack: We're pretty smart and we're pretty big, but we're not the smartest biggest thing. But we're also nowhere near the smallest thing.

Cristina: Of course we're not the smallest thing.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we're not the smartest biggest thing, but we're definitely not the smallest thing.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: There's abusively tiny things.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Cristina: Like what?

Jack: Look at that photo.

Cristina: Is that a werewolf?

Jack: It's a marmoset. It's a pygmy marmoset. Things called pygmies are really tiny things.

Cristina: But what's a marmoset?

Jack: I have no idea. What a marmoset.

Cristina: Is that a werewolf?

Jack: It's some sort of creature. Maybe a monkey.

Cristina: Could be a monkey. It looks so weird.

Jack: What is a marmoset? So.

Cristina: So marmosets are weird? Not just the little ones. They're all weird. It's a small Squirrel like monkey. It has many features that are unusual among primates. They don't say what, but they look strange. Like just the regular marmosets. Not even just that tiny werewolf that you're showing us. Look at this dude. He looks like a bird or something. Like, like just standing from a tree covered in like. You would think that was an owl or something. I don't know. It's very strange. It's a cat like owl, monkey. Look at this, look at this one. Oh, no, that's the pygmy one. Oh, that's a pygmy one. But it looks like a cat. Owl.

Jack: Yes, it does.

Cristina: But just look at the common one. This is the common one down here. See, look, White face, weird ears. Like, what? What's going on? What's going on? Very strange.

Jack: It's a monkey.

Cristina: So it's like the world's smallest monkey, I'm guessing.

Jack: Yeah, I suppose. Maroset is the world's smallest monkey.

Cristina: How small does it get?

Jack: How small does this monkey get? 4 inches.

Cristina: 4 inches. Oh, my gosh. That is so tiny.

Jack: That's a tiny, tiny monkey.

Cristina: That is a tiny monkey. That's like an adult is a four inch.

Jack: Yeah, it's a monkey that's smaller than a dollar.

Cristina: Wow. That is too cute. Even though it looks crazy.

Jack: Here's a lemur mouse.

Cristina: Is it a mouse though?

Jack: Or is it a lemur?

Cristina: No. Is a lemur a type of mouse?

Jack: I guess.

Cristina: Not a mouse. I wrote it. No, lemurs are monkeys.

Jack: Lemurs are monkeys.

Cristina: I don't know. Lemurs are primates.

Jack: They're what? They are monkeys. They're not monkeys, but, you know, primates.

Cristina: Close enough. But then what is that that we're looking at? Is that a monkey or is that a rat?

Jack: So what is. I mean, we know what a mouse.

Cristina: Is, but is it calling it like a mouse sized lemur or a lemur sized mouse? Like, what's going on?

Jack: It looks. It looks like a rodent does.

Cristina: Yeah. They come from the same place. Madagascar.

Jack: Fascinating.

Cristina: What?

Jack: So this is another primate like the marmoset. Whoa. Whoa.

Cristina: They're so strange. They're so tiny. There's something about being so tiny that they don't look like what they're supposed to be.

Jack: Yes. They become some whole other thing.

Cristina: Yes. What?

Jack: This here is a bee. Hummingbird.

Cristina: Bee hummingbird. Oh my gosh.

Jack: It could be 2 inches tall.

Cristina: What? But hummingbirds are tiny birds, right? Or they're big hummingbirds.

Jack: Like they're already. Yeah, they're already Pretty small.

Cristina: Yeah. And these are just the smallest of the small?

Jack: Yeah, they're the tiniest of the tiny.

Cristina: Aw, they're so cute and colorful.

Jack: Oh yeah. I guess most birds have that ability. Isn't that interesting? Now here's something fascinating. The marmoset, the pygmy marmoset can live up to 12 years. You know primates, nice long lives. I guess that's not really long compared to like a dog or something. And then the mouse lemur does six to eight years. You know, it's tiny, it's a little short, it died quick. But then this, the bee, hummingbird, it does seven to 10 years.

Cristina: Seven to 10 years.

Jack: So this bird lives about as long as that rat, Monkey, what? Actually maybe a little longer. On the flip side, so does. What is it called? Parrots. Parrots have absurdly long lives. Parrots have really, really, really, really long lives.

Cristina: How long?

Jack: Like 30 years maybe.

Cristina: They're big.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay, but how long was this one? Two years. Ten years.

Jack: Seven to ten.

Cristina: Seven to ten. Oh.

Jack: Now here is a hognose bat.

Cristina: Oh my gosh, I can't see its nose. Hog nose bat.

Jack: Yes. And it is about an inch.

Cristina: What is that the smallest animal?

Jack: No, but it's a pretty small one.

Cristina: Does that also live a very short life?

Jack: Five to 10 years.

Cristina: Five to 10.

Jack: Five to 10 years. But that's not the smallest. We enter something much smaller, the tardigrade.

Cristina: But is that an animal?

Jack: Yes, it's counted as one of the smallest animals.

Cristina: But what is it counted as exactly?

Jack: Yeah, it's an animal. Like what, what do you mean like.

Cristina: What kind of animal?

Jack: I forget the name of that. There's. It's something.

Cristina: An insect?

Jack: No, no, it's an animal. It's a type of animal. A phylum. I'm assuming that says phylum.

Cristina: What is a film.

Jack: That'S hard to grade is a phylum, phelim of 8.

Cristina: Legged segmented micro animals. What does that even mean? What does that even mean?

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: What are micro animals? So this isn't the only micro animal?

Jack: No, there's this thing right here.

Cristina: Oh my gosh, that's horrifying.

Jack: This one's microscopic.

Cristina: Okay, so it's. But the, the, what was the last one?

Jack: The tardigrade.

Cristina: Tardigrade is also microscopic.

Jack: It's so small it's hard to see.

Cristina: But it's not microscopic.

Jack: You can. It's like on the edge. It's as close as small as you can get before you're microscopic.

Cristina: Okay. Everything microscopic is scary.

Jack: Oh, yeah. And everything macroscopic is too.

Cristina: Yeah, I know. Which is more horrifying? I don't know. These might.

Jack: And everything. Anything in any extreme is crazy. I think of really, really old, unevolved animals. Like when we're traveling the depths of the ocean to the crap that survives all the meteor nonsense that happened.

Cristina: Disturbing.

Jack: Yeah. It's like monsters down there. And it's because any extreme is too alien from the norm.

Cristina: What is that one called, though?

Jack: Loricifera.

Cristina: It's beautiful. It's scary, but beautiful.

Jack: Yeah. It's like an octopus flower thing.

Cristina: Yeah. It looks like a flower vase or something. Yeah.

Jack: It's not even an octopus. Like a squid. Like a squid vase, plant thing.

Cristina: Yeah, it's. It's so alien. It's hard to imagine that that's a living thing. That's an animal too.

Jack: That is an animal.

Cristina: What?

Jack: And it's in the same category as a tardigrade. They're in the same species to some degree. Not species, I guess. Yeah.

Cristina: Type of. Whatever they are or whatever people.

Jack: Genus. Genus. Not the best, but you get my point. Now you were asking about size. I jumped to small. Well, let me tell you what some of the smarter, bigger things are, okay. The African elephant is a freaking giant.

Cristina: Yes. Well, is it bigger than. How big is it from a regular elephant? Because those are big, aren't they?

Jack: Yeah, regular elephants are pretty big. Fair enough. I'm assuming this is a significant uptick. Look at that.

Cristina: Whoa. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. That's a person next to the elephant. Oh, my gosh. Powering him.

Jack: Yeah. And elephants are significantly intelligent. Like, they're pretty smart.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So elephant. African elephants on average can get up to 10ft tall. That's two humans standing on top. Two five foot individuals standing one on top of the other.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Counting from its shoulders. Not its head.

Cristina: His shoulders at its head.

Jack: Yes. From where its shoulders hit their peak as opposed to where its head does.

Cristina: Where do you think its head reaches?

Jack: With its head up, it has to be like 13ft.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: But 10ft is where it's at and it can be up to £13,000.

Cristina: How. How much does it have to eat to be like that?

Jack: Probably a lot.

Cristina: That's crazy.

Jack: Just crap ton of pounds all day eating, I guess, if they. If people give them. No, they have. I don't know, man. How did an elephant survive in. Oh, no. It eats fruits, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And it eats plants.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Is it just really efficient at processing things very slowly and sucking out all the nutrients Maybe really developed internal system.

Cristina: Humongous.

Jack: Yeah, that's pretty much like the big intelligent one. But there's a bunch of really big animals and a bunch of really intelligent animals.

Cristina: Okay, let's go with the big ones.

Jack: Out of the big ones outside of the elephant, that's a huge, huge, huge, crazy thing. And the, if you remember from last week, the 13 foot freakin hippo.

Cristina: Long.

Jack: 13Ft long?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Something that's just tall in general. Is the, the ostrich the biggest bird?

Cristina: I think.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: I think it also has the biggest eyes a bird can have like a ratio, right?

Jack: Yeah, yeah. Eyes to body ratio. They're huge freaking eyes. But despite its crazy height, it's still like incredibly light.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: It's still a bird?

Cristina: Yeah. It's so fragile looking with its legs. Like how is that leg carrying? I mean feathers don't weigh much.

Jack: Yeah, there's no weight. It's carrying no weight.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: But this allows it to be crazy fast.

Cristina: How fast? Like cheetah fast? No, they can run up to 30, 30 to 37 miles per hour and sprint up to 43 miles per hour.

Jack: It's like in a straight shot, 43 miles per hour.

Cristina: Can you outrun it?

Jack: No. I think the fastest human speed ever recorded could not compete with that. Yeah, I'm like super sure the fastest human goes max way too low. I'll give it. I don't even know what would be average. Like 13 miles per hour. So what does it say? The average is 8 miles per hour.

Cristina: Men 8 hour, 8 miles per hour, females 6.5 miles per hour.

Jack: But the fastest human ever, some dude called Bolt. And he hit 27 miles per hour.

Cristina: 27 miles per hour.

Jack: That's a colossal difference between the average and this guy.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And that being said, he will still get cracked on by that.

Cristina: The ostrich.

Jack: By the ostrich.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: This is way faster than I thought it was. And still the ostrich is winning. Yeah, by like quite a bit. The ostrich will get some car lengths on this person. I'm the fastest human ever. But that ain't crap because like there's a bunch of crazy fast animals like a gazelle. A Gazelle could hit 60 miles per hour.

Cristina: 60 miles per hour just running.

Jack: Sprint into 60 miles per hour.

Cristina: How much would that hurt if that ran into you?

Jack: Probably a lot. Like, I'm sure these things have totaled cars in the past.

Cristina: Whoa. That's crazy. That's pretty fast.

Jack: Also, gazelles are the most elegant of the deer, right?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: They Look. Beautiful. They're like the cat of the deer.

Cristina: Yes, I think so. They're not the biggest or smallest deer, are they?

Jack: No, they're like somewhere in the middle. They're the most deer sized of the deer.

Cristina: I bet if we find the smallest deer, it'd be the cutest deer.

Jack: It microdeers.

Cristina: A micro deer. What if there is a micro deer?

Jack: There's probably such a thing as a micro deer. This is micro everything at this point.

Cristina: Ah, so cute. It's so ridiculously dumb looking.

Jack: Yeah, it looks like kind of like a. It's the pug of the deer.

Cristina: It is so cute. It is too cute. I don't even know how you say its name. Pudu.

Jack: It looks so innocent.

Cristina: It looks so innocent. Oh my gosh. Look at this one with his tongue sticking out. Look at this one. That looks so crazy. That does not look real. What? What?

Jack: Weird. Weird.

Cristina: They have horns. Look at those horns. It doesn't look real.

Jack: Tiny little horns.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And that's just a micro deer.

Cristina: Yeah, but not as elegant as. What was the deer that we were talking about?

Jack: The gazelle.

Cristina: The gazelle? No, the gazelle.

Jack: Yeah. Well, the gazelle is incredibly fast. But the gazelle is not the fastest animal yet. That would be the cheetah. Actually. That's wrong. But that's. We're talking land animals.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Because the cheetah could hit like 70 miles per hour.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Think about how much faster than the gazelle that is. That's a whole 10 miles per hour on it.

Cristina: That is ridiculous.

Jack: That's like a. That's a nice close race basically.

Cristina: Right.

Jack: Like the gazelle's getting away, but slowly the cheetahs catching them.

Cristina: And it does.

Jack: It does.

Cristina: Okay, better. But what's the fastest animal?

Jack: Well, faster than the cheetah is.

Cristina: Is there a bird?

Jack: The golden eagle.

Cristina: Oh my gosh. I was gonna say.

Jack: Yeah. The golden Eagle does about 200 miles per hour.

Cristina: How?

Jack: Flight, man.

Cristina: What was it?

Jack: The advantages of gravity?

Cristina: The golden eagle, 200 miles per hour. Whoa. It makes sense that a bird would be very fast. Like.

Jack: Yeah, right. Because you're in the sky, you have way less resistance in water or the treacherous energy cost of like propelling yourself forward on ground.

Cristina: That is so ridiculous. What? Is there something faster?

Jack: There is a bird that's faster than that bird yet.

Cristina: Faster by much?

Jack: No, by a significant amount.

Cristina: Really? Yeah.

Jack: So the peregrine falcon does 240 mph. That eagle couldn't pretend it could catch this bird.

Cristina: Well, do you know the size comparison to these birds?

Jack: No, I do not.

Cristina: But the golden eagle is bigger. It's 2 to 7 to 33 inches, while the falcon is 14 to 19 inches. And that falcon is one of the largest falcons in North America. Well, I guess in North America. That doesn't help. That doesn't help.

Jack: North America is huge, though.

Cristina: So I'm gonna say the golden eagle wins.

Jack: What? In size? Yeah, yeah, it's like. What is it, two? The falcon is two thirds the size of the eagle.

Cristina: Okay, but. And the eagle is faster, right?

Jack: No, no, the falcon is faster than the eagle. Yeah, the falcon has 40 miles per hour on the eagle.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: So that size is, like, beneficial. Now, do you know what the smartest animals are?

Cristina: Human. Human. I don't know.

Jack: Yeah, we have to be. Right. Like, that's default. Humans are the. As far as we know, until we can bridge communication with dolphins, we'll never know.

Cristina: Dolphins have to be up there.

Jack: I'm pretty sure they're second place. I'm convinced. You think jellyfish are like gods?

Cristina: There's nothing going on in a jellyfish.

Jack: The. The ocean spirit.

Cristina: The ocean spirit. Oh, it does have that view.

Jack: I guess the glowing ones do.

Cristina: Yeah, that's pretty cool. But the smartest.

Jack: Yeah, I mean, there's some obvious winners.

Cristina: Like what?

Jack: Like an elephant?

Cristina: Like an elephant. Yes, for sure. And I guess a hippo. Are they or are they just vicious?

Jack: Well, they categorize under pigs, and pigs are highly intelligent.

Cristina: Oh. Spiders seem pretty smart.

Jack: Spiders. intellect is hard to judge in a spider.

Jack: Definitely nothing notable.

Cristina: Nothing notable.

Jack: Nothing notable.

Cristina: Are other monkeys as smart as this?

Jack: Yes. Chimpanzees. I mean, not as smart as smart. Chimpanzees are pretty smart. They're up there.

Cristina: They're up there.

Jack: Yeah. They're some of the smartest animals. If not the smartest animals, there's an.

Cristina: Animal that can fight a snake. I feel like they might be really smart. I don't know.

Jack: An animal that could fight a snake.

Cristina: Yeah, like a poisonous snake. Like it's become immune to the poison.

Jack: The mongoose.

Cristina: Is it a mongoose? Maybe it's not. Maybe it's just vicious. Vicious and smart are not the same, are they?

Jack: Yeah, no, it fights them because it's immune to the snake's venom or something.

Cristina: Yeah, but how did it become immune? It's gotta have lost a long time.

Jack: There was a crazy war with an absurd body count.

Cristina: Yeah, but does that make it smart?

Jack: No, it makes sense.

Cristina: Because it adapted.

Jack: No, that's just natural. Selection.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: If the snakes were gonna be a problem, only the ones who wouldn't have a problem with the snake would survive.

Cristina: You think snakes are smart?

Jack: Depends on the snake. And also reptiles seem to have a lack of reasoning. There's no like puzzles, like there's no amazing puzzle solving. Reptile. No, but there's something about a reptile that seems illogical, entirely instinctive. Thus cold hearted or cold blooded?

Cristina: Cold blooded. What do you mean illogical?

Jack: Yeah, they seem, they don't, there's, there's no gears turning, I guess, but I.

Cristina: Feel like they don't need gears turning because they've adapted it so well that like everything is easy for them. They figured out life, I suppose.

Jack: Well, not really. That's. They need to be around water because they, they're so primitive. Their body doesn't even regulate heat properly.

Cristina: Are alligators counted as that?

Jack: Yeah, yeah.

Cristina: Like, come on, they, they got an easy life. They look very happy. They don't look happy.

Jack: I don't think they could tell. Happiness.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: It's probably real basic functions going on, like pain, pleasure, hunger, just basic things.

Cristina: So that wouldn't be intelligent.

Jack: Yeah, I don't think it would fall under like intelligent bees. No. But parrots.

Cristina: Parrots. Okay.

Jack: And crows, like ravens.

Cristina: Of course. Ravens.

Jack: And yeah. Actually out of the birds, ravens are at the top.

Cristina: But they're not number one. Out of the birds there they are number one. Okay. Do you think ants are intelligent?

Jack: Yeah, I think ants are a complicated thing because they, they have a collective.

Cristina: Mind, so you can't really count that.

Jack: Yeah. Cuz not like one ant won't get anything accomplished. No, but government goes a long way and ants have government and they could.

Cristina: Like, they can make crazy decisions together and stuff.

Jack: Yeah, they're unity. Yeah, it's communism. Well, it's a dictatorship and it is communism. Actually, it's both. Yeah. Oh, wow, that's weird. Ants live in communist societies, as do bees.

Cristina: They're living the same lives pretty much.

Jack: Well, actually, I think in both those cases those are fascist societies in which a small percent get the majority of the goods and make all the decisions.

Cristina: Yes, one.

Jack: Yeah, those are, Are those fascists?

Cristina: Buffaloes are pretty smart.

Jack: Buffaloes, yeah.

Cristina: Do you know the African buffaloes can practice democracy? They practice voting. They vote on things, man.

Jack: Like what?

Cristina: like on where to go and stuff. Like the adult females get together and like, I guess there's physical cues. Like they might all like look at one way and the others look at that way and then, you know, like if there was two roads, they had to choose. They get together and, you know, all faced one way. Then everyone's like, okay, that's the winner.

Jack: Interesting, interesting. I wonder if everybody tried to vote at the same time. They wouldn't see anybody else's vote.

Cristina: Well, it's only the females voting, so the. The rest of the party. The older females. So the rest of the party would be watching to see who wins.

Jack: Oh, interesting.

Cristina: I'm guessing that's how it works.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Democracy at play.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Fantastic.

Cristina: That's pretty smart.

Jack: Yeah, it's clever. I've heard of that before. Humans can't even figure that out.

Cristina: No. So that's interesting. Although it's just one specifically, we couldn't do that because everyone has to vote. That's the only way.

Jack: Yeah, everybody has to vote. As opposed to just the educated ones. We all don't want to be the dumb ones. That's all it is. Interesting enough, dolphins have an IQ equal to humans.

Cristina: Equal?

Jack: Equal.

Cristina: Like average.

Jack: Yes. So the average IQ is about 100 for humans, and the average IQ for dolphin is about 100. All right, so their intellect is about the same. And this goes into considering the fact that we. Again, we can't figure out the language of these creatures, but we know that they have policing systems and they have debates and they have trolls and they have.

Cristina: They probably have a higher iq. It's impossible to tell.

Jack: I mean, they have the added advantage that they can convey literal imagery to one another, as seen. That's absurd. They could send a sound that's gonna replicate in the head of the other one, all the visuals.

Cristina: How do you beat that?

Jack: That's crazy. That's just an ability that, by default, must make their understanding of navigating through the world more refined than ours.

Cristina: Another thing that they have is almost equal. Not almost equal, but a pretty high EQ, which is emotional intelligence. We're at a 7.4. They're at a 5.3, which is way higher than other animals. I don't know what the list is like of every animal.

Jack: Yeah, but that wouldn't even matter anyways because all we need is, like, the ones up there. Unless there's an animal with more emotional intelligence than a dolphin. But I also don't see how that would be beneficial to survival. It feels like it's something that would get in the way long term.

Cristina: I don't know. I mean, it has to be high for. I'm guessing, animals that have communities. It would be high.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: Because you got to get along with other animals in that community.

Jack: Fair enough. But what if animals are just intellectually gonna follow a hierarchy that establishes itself based on like, power, for example, Then you don't need to care about emotions because there is stability here.

Cristina: That's probably ants and bees.

Jack: Fair enough. Fascism.

Cristina: So I don't know even like wolf packs. That's family. That's the parents leading the pack.

Jack: Interesting. Yes.

Cristina: And even lions, it's the strongest. But there's got to be some emotional bond there too.

Jack: Yeah. And it's still family.

Cristina: Still family, yeah.

Jack: Yeah. A lot of time. Creatures with like the powerful creatures are all very family creatures, so it's.

Cristina: It's gotta help out in some ways. So they're the smartest? Not the smartest. Well, the smartest in the water, definitely.

Jack: Who?

Cristina: Dolphins.

Jack: Dolphins smartest in the water for sure. And I think the smartest on in land has to be the chimpanzee.

Cristina: Besides us.

Jack: Besides us.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Other. Other creatures. Other than us. Where obviously our intelligence meter forces all other creatures. Us and dolphins, we just force everything down to the point that it seems uninterrupted. We question consciousness in these creatures from how below us the intellect level up.

Cristina: And the smartest bird is like nothing compared to the smartest mammal.

Jack: Oh, no, that's a. That's a crazy gap. Yes. The smartest bird. We would crap on the smartest bird.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The smartest bird is like a raven or something. And the IQ of a raven is still not like an absurdly high iq.

Cristina: We compare that to children or something.

Jack: Yeah. Do you know what the most dangerous animals are besides the hill?

Cristina: Is that a trick question? Human, probably.

Jack: Humans should definitely be up there.

Cristina: That's.

Jack: That's mainly about how many murders happen. Yeah, but it's crazy because, okay, we would calculate something dangerous based on how many times it kills a human. That's how we calculate danger. How much. Which is. I guess every animal thinks like that, right? Things are dangerous if they hurt my species.

Cristina: So if we do, we don't count just us. What about. There's that bug. It destroys everything in its sights. It's in the Bible.

Jack: Locust.

Cristina: Locust, yes. Come on. That's dangerous.

Jack: But I don't think it has direct body count. I think what it does affects people.

Cristina: Yes, but I'm not talking about what it does to people. It's destroys plants, those lives dead. Like it's destroying everything in its way. All the food. Yeah, in that area, yeah.

Jack: Interesting way to consider body count. Yeah, but what about things with blood count? Anything with blood is the only thing we can. Mosquitoes. H*** yes. For a fact, mosquitoes are number one. They're the kingpin of murder.

Cristina: Really? Yes. Because they carry mad diseases and then they're just spreading it while they're drinking from you. Is that what's happening?

Jack: Yeah, to some degree. Mosquitoes are by far. They're huge. They're up there with about a million deaths by mosquito per year.

Cristina: That makes sense. And it's all just from like something so simple, like you don't even see it coming.

Jack: Nope.

Cristina: You just feel it and it's not even painful. It's the least painful death.

Jack: I'm guessing a random little oh, wow, that was annoying.

Cristina: Or a little buzz and then you're.

Jack: Just dead before you know it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Million a year.

Cristina: A million. Do they kill animals too?

Jack: Yeah, probably. There's a bunch of different types of mosquitoes, I'm sure.

Cristina: So is that the deadliest creature alive or just one of the deadliest?

Jack: That's the deadliest. But there's a bunch of other options going on too. Snakes are pretty up there. They got about 100,000 deaths a year.

Cristina: Is it all types of snakes?

Jack: Yes, otherwise I would specify.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: It's just the general.

Cristina: Alright. Because they all kill in such different ways.

Jack: Yes. But if you're like the black mamba, the most dangerous thing, probably, you know, like three people a year or some crap.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You know, you just generalize it. But like we would have very different numbers if we were just talking about mosquitoes as well and specify it on any type of mosquito. Because it'd be like, well, mosquitoes, they have this very specific kind of thing going on as opposed to the ones that are responsible for. But I guess a lot of mosquitoes aren't even responsible again, because it's. They affect people with how they do.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: This person has this thing, bit them, I took it to that person, gave it to them, that person dies. We're blame the mosquito. Those amount of deaths probably make up a lot of them.

Cristina: Yes, yes. That's a lot.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: But when it comes to snakes, it's a whole different thing going on.

Jack: Yeah, they're actively attacking and that's 100,000.

Cristina: 100,000. What was the mosquito again? Million.

Jack: A million.

Cristina: Whoa. What numbers.

Jack: Crazy leap, right? Mosquitoes take 10 times the lives that snakes do.

Cristina: Is there like the most dangerous sea animal?

Jack: The most dangerous sea animal. That's probably just a dolphin and you're.

Cristina: And okay, so the snake is the most dangerous. The second one is the snake. Right after you said that.

Jack: Twice.

Cristina: Oh, the mosquito. The mosquitoes are most dangerous. Then it's the snake.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Then what comes after that?

Jack: Dogs. What dogs have 30,000 kills?

Cristina: More than, like, wolves, dogs? Like pets?

Jack: No, all dogs. These are generalizations.

Cristina: Lame list. Okay.

Jack: If it was just wolves, it would be like five a year, I guess.

Cristina: But, like, what are they considering how they're being killed? Like, are these dogs with, like, the rabies kill?

Jack: No, I'm sure it's like a dog murdering a person.

Cristina: These are human deaths.

Jack: Yeah, Everything is calculated by how many humans they kill.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Oh, there's probably dogs killing their owners, though.

Jack: Yeah. There's so many dogs. There's billions of people. Definitely. But now, being dangerous and having a huge body count doesn't mean being the most dangerous, really. It just means things that could mess you up and don't are kind.

Cristina: What do you mean?

Jack: Some animals got quite like a body weight on the dangerous animals. So, yeah, something might have a crazy high body count, like a mosquito, but something really, really big could eat millions and trillions of mosquitoes all at the same time. You know, I guess, like, look at the size of this bear.

Cristina: That's a huge bear.

Jack: That's a grizzly bear.

Cristina: Grizzly bear. Probably not the killer like the mosquito. No, no, but it's huge.

Jack: It's ridiculous.

Cristina: I think polar bears are also really big bears.

Jack: Yeah. The small bears are the black bears.

Cristina: That's ridiculous.

Jack: But this, this is huge. This is two humans. But it's still kind of nothing when you consider the size of the blue.

Cristina: Whale the largest animal.

Jack: The largest animal ever. I was looking at this and, like, I'm like, yeah, largest animal alive. And I look online to make sure and it's like, it's the largest animal to have ever been recorded in any period of time. There's no dinosaur that was larger. What little dinosaur, the largest creature ever recorded in all of time exists at this moment. And we're from. Well, to some degree familiar with it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: The giant creature that, like, only eats planktons or something.

Jack: Yep. The blue whale, the largest creature ever recorded.

Cristina: Why is it so large?

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: How large is it?

Jack: Almost a hundred feet long.

Cristina: How. How many buses is that?

Jack: That's a really good question. Those are school buses. Okay. It looks like almost three school buses. No, it's two and a half. Right?

Cristina: Two and a half.

Jack: Yeah, it's two and a half school buses. Long.

Cristina: Well, the biggest they've ever recorded of the blue rare. Like, I'm guessing that's the Average.

Jack: Oh, yeah. So the average is about two school.

Cristina: Buses worth, but the biggest we've ever recorded.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: And like, this is the most massive animal because also weight. You get my point.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We also, like, counts in here because it's 400. It's over, actually. Over £400,000.

Cristina: Is there even any animal close to that weight?

Jack: No.

Cristina: That's so crazy.

Jack: I think the next heaviest thing is the elephant.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And the elephant just comes in at £13,000, next to £400,000.

Cristina: Wow. It's so long. It's so big. So it's a record breaking animal in many ways.

Jack: Yeah, in almost all the ways.

Cristina: Wow. It's so big. How is there more than one of those things in the ocean?

Jack: That's how big the ocean is. The ocean is so freaking huge, it's rare to see one.

Cristina: Well, is it really? That's crazy.

Jack: They're so huge and the ocean goes so deep and it's still incredibly shallow, next to, like, the depths of earth.

Cristina: But blue whales aren't hanging out down there, are they?

Jack: I wonder. I wonder how. I mean, blue whales are relatively safe creatures. There isn't anything. They have no predators.

Cristina: Are you sure?

Jack: You think they have. You think there's something out there killing blue whales?

Cristina: Dolphins, yeah.

Jack: My bed is dolphins.

Cristina: Wasn't it the orca or something?

Jack: They kill blue whales.

Cristina: Baby ones, probably.

Jack: That's fair. That sounds like the animal kingdom to me.

Cristina: All right, so it's a pack of orcas and they can only prey on the little ones.

Jack: So, like, an adult blue whale is good.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah.

Jack: And it's crazy because for a baby, it still takes a bunch of them.

Cristina: Yes. So these large pack of them.

Jack: Yeah. The killer whale. The orca is a dolphin.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That name is confusing, though, because it's not a whale.

Cristina: Is a dolphin just a whale?

Jack: No, no, a dolphin isn't a whale.

Cristina: A dolphin is a whale.

Jack: How is a dolphin a whale?

Cristina: They're part of the same family. I don't know how to pronounce it. Cetaceans.

Jack: Norwell, that's a. Yeah, but if they're both part of that family, then they're both cetaceans. Not both whales or dolphins. One is a whale and one is a dolphin. And all whales aren't dolphins. And all dolphins aren't whales. But they're all cetaceans.

Cristina: Are all. I mean, dolphins. Are you sure? Dolphins are not whales, but.

Jack: No, they're not in the same family.

Cristina: They're not?

Jack: No.

Cristina: So they're related.

Jack: Whales don't have teeth. Dolphins do. That's the difference.

Cristina: But the giant, the giant whale, the blue whale has teeth.

Jack: The blue whale doesn't have teeth.

Cristina: Yes, it does.

Jack: No, the blue whale doesn't have teeth.

Cristina: It doesn't?

Jack: No.

Cristina: I read that they have a bunch of teeth.

Jack: They have some equivalent, but they don't have teeth.

Cristina: Oh, I guess they don't have teeth.

Jack: No, they're not dolphins. Dolphins have teeth.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: They're both the same thing, except some are toothed whales and others are non toothed whales. And toothed whales are.

Cristina: Dolphins are monsters. Okay. While non toothed whales are gentle.

Jack: It's crazy that, man, there's something wrong with dolphins. It's crazy that these like the bigger dolphins are out here hunting whales to begin with. Although they would get bodied by the full sized whale.

Cristina: Definitely. That thing is huge. It could eat, like if it could eat, how many of them could it eat?

Jack: It could just eat its enemies in one shot.

Cristina: Oh, that's the biggest thing on earth. Well, living thing.

Jack: Yep. I mean, look at its size. That's a boat down there with people, with a bunch of people. And that whale is like three times the size of that boat.

Cristina: Yeah. That's amazing being next to that thing. What?

Jack: Yeah, it's crazy huge.

Cristina: Wow. Well, those are a bunch of animals next to it.

Jack: Yeah, next to the blue whale. Look at the killer whale, how small it is as compared to the blue whale.

Cristina: Yeah. And that dinosaur with a long neck. How big was that thing?

Jack: Well, based on this size, not too crazy. It was definitely just about taller than the mammoth. And the mammoth was about 14ft. So this was from the shoulders about 17, 18ft tall.

Cristina: Well, that beats a giraffe, right? How tall does the giraffe get?

Jack: I don't know.

Cristina: The giraffe gets 16 to 19 inches tall. Inches. Feet, Sorry, feet tall. That'd be crazy. This is the world's smallest giraffe. That is 16 and 19. That has to be the tallest creature, right?

Jack: Yeah, Tall, but not the most massive, but yes, definitely the tallest.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: But its height is nothing compared to the whale's length.

Cristina: No. It's hard to imagine. There's not many things. You can't compare any animals. It's probably like. What was it again, the length? 100ft.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: That's a lot of giraffes. That's 20 giraffes on top of each other.

Jack: Just looking at the size comparison, it's crazy that the mammoth was still taller than the T. Rex. Like we think of the T. Rex way bigger than it really is. Because I guess we pictured the T. Rex a lot like Jurassic park tried to show us. It looked like. Yeah, but no, it's way smaller than that.

Cristina: But the T. Rex wasn't the biggest carnivore dinosaur either.

Jack: No, there's probably bigger badder ones. There's just some advantage. Maybe it wasn't even a successful one. For whatever reason, humans just have an.

Cristina: Obsession with it because of its ridiculous tiny.

Jack: Well no, people think it's cool. Oh, T. Rexes are cool. They're so edgy.

Cristina: I don't get why kangaroos aren't cool like that.

Jack: Kangaroos aren't cool at all. People laugh at kangaroos. They think they're buff, buff dummies.

Cristina: But they also have tiny tiny T. Rex arms. T. Rex arms. But they have the ability to like hop very far, I think.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: So that beats a T. Rex.

Jack: Maybe a T. Rex could jump really far too.

Cristina: That would be insane.

Jack: What if one is the natural evolution of the other?

Cristina: A T. Rex to a kangaroo?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Well, I don't know anywho.

Jack: Definitely. As we discussed last week, I guess the blue whale was our conclusion before it was the largest, right? Yeah, but the elephant is also like land wise the most massive. Even if the whale will body an elephant overall.

Cristina: But we didn't talk about the most dangerous or we talked about like.

Jack: No, the literal most dangerous is the mosquito and then the snake.

Cristina: Pretty crazy.

Jack: And all those tiny animals, little fuzzy tiny thingies. Which two of our primates.

Cristina: Mm. We learned a lot about animals this week. More than last week.

Jack: Yes, because last week it was the power of Google. Now we went in a little further which ended up in the same conclusion. That blue whales are the champions of size and definitely mass and probably power, all things considered. Effortlessly.

Cristina: Yes. And what was the fastest friggin bird?

Jack: It was a hawk or. No, it was a falcon that goes 240 miles per hour.

Cristina: Wait, did we talk about what water animal goes the fastest?

Jack: No.

Cristina: Do you know?

Jack: No.

Cristina: Oh no. Okay.

Jack: We have no idea. But anyways, if you guys enjoyed finding out about these animals, you can find out the conversation that promoted this in the first place, which was last week when we were just googling animals. So you can go check that out and I guess posts, I guess follows look primarily just follow social medias. You know you can find us on Twitter and Facebook and Instagram, usconvopod.

Cristina: Remember to subscribe, rate and review the show.

Jack: Yeah, reviews are amazing. Leave us some.

Cristina: And that someone who might like this.

Jack: Show know about it, word of mouth. Always. Great. Tell people about the show and they will come and listen with you.

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

Jack: Bye.

Cristina: Do they have flat earth? There's.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: That makes it sound like they're like, I don't know, type of alien. Like there's regular earth, there's. And then there's the flat earthers. Like they look flat or something.

Jack: Oh, yeah, Yeah, I see what you mean. But now. So, yeah, that's how Martin Luther King are related. Is related to penguins.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because of that one interesting incident. Only because penguins. Could civil rights laws be passed in the first place.

Cristina: That's crazy.

Jack: Yeah. Penguins allowing the message to get across. After Linden Johnson talked to the penguins, telling them what message needed to be delivered and then being like, okay, we agree this message should get across, but.

Cristina: How many other things were penguins involved with?

Jack: Anything that involves the wall. Yeah, whatever that would be. Whatever somebody going through the wall would be that you interact with penguins.

Cristina: But is then this one the biggest thing that they're involved with and that's why their holiday is right next to it?

Jack: Probably not. There's probably bigger things because why would.

Cristina: They pick that day, though?

Jack: Who picked it?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Whoever picked it assume it happened at random.

Cristina: They just picked a random date for them. Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by greatthoughts.info art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth McCallister with social media managed by Amber Black.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Cristina: And I'm Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas.

Cristina: Do you have any baffling ideas?

Jack: well, ideas in general are baffling. Thinking is a complicated process that comes through the evolutionary process of, I don't know, I guess neurons. No, I would. That's a really interesting question. Right, like, because thinking itself is kind of a mind f***. It's a psychedelic experience or something. Like, do creatures think? I know they have processing, but it's a lot of autopilot s*** going on too.

Cristina: Are you talking about animals?

Jack: Creatures in general?

Cristina: Even humans? Well, okay. I mean most of them we know fact.

Jack: I mean, I guess at least I know I can think.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: When I say creatures, I definitely do mean other than I.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because I'm under the impression I can think.

Cristina: But you're also in autopilot.

Jack: Sometimes I think everything has a little bit of autopilot, but I think animals in general, other creatures in general have autopilot. Like I don't think an insect is really giving it surrounding many thoughts. No, I mean there's a lot of autopilot going on.

Cristina: Yeah. I Wonder how much percent of it is autopilot. How much percent of what it's thinking is autopilot?

Jack: Probably 100% of it.

Cristina: 100%?

Jack: Yeah, there's lit like think of an ant. It's literally hive mentality. It has no sense of identity. It's just part of a bigger thing and its entire being is to support this bigger thing. No sense of self preservation or anything, it's just the Borg.

Cristina: Does the queen at least have mind of its own or is she also an autopilot like them? Like she's doing what her role tells her what to do or whatever.

Jack: Well, my experience as an ant keeper has taught me that the queen is a very overpowered, high thinking individual. She has all the thoughts.

Cristina: So a lot like the queen of Or.

Jack: Yeah, she has all the thinking going on and all the. All the insignificant ants don't think at all. She sends her messages and they're like yes or not even. Yes. They just do it. She waves her hand and they then.

Cristina: Are they better than the Porg because the Borg, they want to get away from the queen?

Jack: No, it's when you get that bug thrown into the system and they then get like identity and individuality.

Cristina: Okay. So they're not. There's not individuality unless something bad happens. A bug. Okay, yeah.

Jack: It was like a virus or something that attacked the board. Right, Because Picard is a savage.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: He was like, send this kid back with a sense of self. Let's destroy this from the inside out.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Yeah. Because once the board gets choose, they don't want to be with the queen anymore. That would suck.

Jack: That makes sense. Right?

Cristina: That makes sense.

Jack: A bit overpowered.

Cristina: Are there any other animals that work like that? Like they just have one. Oh, yeah. Queen bee. Okay. So is the queen. There's gotta be other examples though.

Jack: I mean, herds have a very similar thing going on. Like giant pack animals.

Cristina: But they don't have a leader, do they? I mean, I guess whoever's in the front of the herd.

Jack: No, I'm pretty sure just enough of them start running and there's a survival thing that kicks in that they're like. That's probably what the rest of us should be doing.

Cristina: Ah, okay.

Jack: Like, are they running from something? Let's all run from whatever thing they're running from. Or are they running towards something? Let's all run. Whatever they run, they know something we don't. Yeah, I guess that's the ultimate thought. They know something we don't.

Cristina: Yeah. And birds, are they like that? Because there's always a bunch.

Jack: Fascinating. This is a really interesting visual. Right. So birds in the sky because wings and whatnot. But they move in a weird sync. Like they all tune into this thing and they instantly know. They all instantly know how to move.

Cristina: But is it because the wind or is it they're actually working together?

Jack: No, when they're doing like weird patterns in the sky, how do they all suddenly turn at the same time? Yeah, that's weird. Unless there is a leader and it's happening so fraction of a second that it looks instantaneous to us, but it's like a domino effect that's happening too quick for us to notice. And there is one doing it first, but they're in the sky. It has to all be like split second decision making.

Cristina: Yeah. Maybe more like herds who are worried. Like they're just going because they see everyone else going.

Jack: Well, I don't think it would be worried though. There has to be some other motivation because they're just hanging out in the sky doing tricks or whatever crap is happening.

Cristina: What is happening? Like, what benefit is that? Is that exercise?

Jack: I don't know. Because your school of fish do the same thing a lot of times. Yes. They'll move Away from danger, but also when there's no danger, they're still kind of doing things.

Cristina: Are they eating, though? Is that them eating?

Jack: I guess fish are. Then what's the excuse for bird?

Cristina: No idea. They're battling some creature that we don't know about in the sky.

Jack: All of them?

Cristina: Yeah. Or the wind. They're playing with the wind.

Jack: They're playing with the wind?

Cristina: Yeah. We don't know how that works.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: The wind is petting them.

Jack: Could be.

Cristina: That's interesting. Yeah. It's a lot like the fish. The birds in the sky are a lot like the fish in the water moving that weird way.

Jack: Yeah. There is definitely a thing happening where they're kind of like all in sync. I don't know why. It is weird that they do it. And I guess a lot of animals do that. But then what about the solitary animals? What the f***? Like, if there was no. They would just fight each other. Like, wild cats aren't gonna move all in sync, and lions don't move all in sync. No, but like, a. A bunch of horses are already kind of doing their thing. You spook them, boom, they're all one suddenly.

Cristina: Yeah, horses like zebras.

Jack: I guess that's kind of a horse too.

Cristina: Deers. Are they, like.

Jack: No, actually. That's an interesting one. Deer don't pack, run in the same direction under the same logic. They'll just scatter in random directions if they have to.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: They're breaking the pattern of other animals.

Jack: Yeah, but so is, like, the wild cats, like I just said.

Cristina: Well, that's different. Being the hunter and being the hunty are two different things.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: Because the hunter likes to be those cats, I guess. Like to be alone. A lot of cats.

Jack: All right, so there's a pack of bison. Who's f****** with, like, a herd of bison? Nobody. Nobody's f****** with a herd with bison. But they're still gonna run together, I guess. You mean more carnivore versus herbivore?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like, herbivores will do, like, their own thing. Then why are deer doing their own thing? Doesn't. Doesn't work.

Cristina: Yeah. I don't know what's going on with the deers, but they must. Is that right? I don't know. That's weird.

Jack: Yeah, they just kind of do random s***. Deer weird.

Cristina: Deer weird. But most even big animals that are veggies eaters are. They're in packs, like giraffes and elephants, I think.

Jack: Not in herds, though.

Cristina: Not in herds.

Jack: There isn't like a herd of giraffes.

Cristina: Oh, there's a family of giraffes.

Jack: Yeah, it's probably a family of giraffes. Maybe some cousins, some friends, but not, like a herd. Oh, there aren't thousands of giraffes hanging all together.

Cristina: That's crazy. They couldn't survive like that if they're all eating the same thing.

Jack: What's hunting a giraffe in the first place, you know? Like, is it even a creature of that nature?

Cristina: I imagine a lion.

Jack: You think a lion. You think something is messing with giraffes to begin with?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: Because they're probably easy to. They seem like they might be a clumsy and slow enough creature. Are they fast? I don't think they're that fast for a lion.

Jack: I mean, like, would the lion go out of his way to eat a giraffe?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Why?

Cristina: They would probably try to eat a hippo, and that doesn't make sense.

Jack: A lion?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I don't think a lion tries to eat a hippo.

Cristina: An alligator would try to eat a hippo. I think there's some animals that will try, even if it's dumb to eat a hippo. I don't think any animal hunts hippo. Not that they could eat the hippo, but at least get after that hippo.

Jack: Okay, so lions, hyenas, and leopards all hunt giraffes.

Cristina: Mm. That makes sense. See, hyenas are pet creatures. I don't care.

Jack: Hyenas don't give a s***.

Cristina: Yeah, size does not matter. The hyena probably goes after that hippo, too. Not that it's successful, but it probably does try. You don't think a hyena would try.

Jack: To attack a hippo?

Cristina: Yeah. Tell me. Nothing hunts a hippo. I imagine something does.

Jack: Holy crap. Yeah. Hyenas go after hippos?

Cristina: Yeah, man. Hyenas don't give a s*** what else hunts a hippo. Or is that it? It's the hippo.

Jack: No, what's funny is that hyenas are more capable of hunting these things down because they work in packs, as opposed to lions that are usually alone. This is the logic of the wolves, Right? The wolves are some f****** problem because strategy is a m***********. This is where the dogs have advantage over the cats.

Cristina: Right, But I thought lions are, like, the only cats that do work together.

Jack: No, they're usually alone. Usually there's one out there hunting brings the food back.

Cristina: Oh, what?

Jack: Yeah, I mean, there could be multiple together, but that's not the common.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Commonly, one goes out, brings the food back. In.

Cristina: Okay, but when it comes to hyenas, they're just eating anything.

Jack: Well, sure, but the point is that hyenas move in packs.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: This is the whole dog thing. That makes dogs very different at hunting than cats. Now there's less food to go around overall. Yeah. You hunt the Hepple, but there's like seven of you.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So like lion hunts a hippo. If it got the hippo. There's a lion and a hippo. Okay, you win.

Cristina: Yeah. I'm imagining they're eating baby hippos. Like, it's not a. Or an injured hippo.

Jack: I believe in. I believe in all of these cases, it's the baby.

Cristina: It's the baby. Yeah. Like that's the easiest. Like a baby elephant or something.

Jack: Yeah. A pack of hyenas would be hard pressed to take an adult hipple down like that. That's not. Doesn't sound fun or easy.

Cristina: What other animals hunt hippos? There has to be more. Can't imagine the hyena is the only animal. But it's possible. Hippos are a tough, tough animal to take down.

Jack: Hippos, one of the hardest animals to take down. So a hippo will usually be attacked by crocodiles, lions, and spotted hyenas.

Cristina: Okay, I was interested.

Jack: But all the young hippos, only babies.

Cristina: Okay. Just babies. The only thing that messes with adult hippo is probably another adult hippo.

Jack: Adult hippos are not usually preyed upon by other animals due to their aggression and size.

Cristina: Nah, they're the ones eating other animals just for fun.

Jack: Yeah. Cases where large lion prides have successfully preyed on adult hippos have been reported, but that's generally rare.

Cristina: Okay. So a pack of lions can do it.

Jack: Yeah. Now just normally hunting lion can't. A lion has to jump into dog behavior and be like, yo, we need to. We're the most powerful s*** out here. We still need to team up.

Cristina: Yeah. Okay.

Jack: Because f*** adult hippos.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We go after it and it's just gonna eat us. It doesn't even get nutrients from us. It's just gonna eat us.

Cristina: That is so scary.

Jack: Yeah, it's a monster. The real life monster of the human world. Of the human world, of the like, of the mortal world.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Is the hippo hippo. It's a demon, bro.

Cristina: Yes. It's what demons are based off of.

Jack: Yeah, some s***. It's demon. And it's a water pig, essentially. Right. It's like they're related or some s***. We've. I remember, like recently, maybe like. Like 20 episodes ago or some s***, we, like, ran across the fact that a pig is a hippo. It's just a tiny hippo.

Cristina: Pigs can get really big. But I don't know, what's the biggest hippo size? I mean, what's the biggest pig size?

Jack: The largest? It's pretty big.

Cristina: It's pretty big. But it would be nice to know, like, compared to a hippo, to, I guess, imagine. What would one pig standing, one wild pig, I guess, next to a pig hippo look like?

Jack: What would one wild. Oh, crap. I guess it could look like a hippo. Yeah.

Cristina: What?

Jack: That's pretty ginormous.

Cristina: It's pretty ginormous.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: You don't know how big, though.

Jack: It's way bigger than a person.

Cristina: Oh. Oh, my gosh.

Jack: It's the size of a hippo.

Cristina: Oh, that's crazy. Okay, that's scary. And we eat that. Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. Holy s***. What the f*** am I looking at? This is huge.

Cristina: What is it a pig?

Jack: Yeah, it's a huge pig. Okay, that's what I'm looking at. Look at that.

Cristina: That is scary.

Jack: Yeah, that's essentially a giant. Not even giant. That's just a hippo. Okay, I guess. I guess that's the real question because we're looking at the biggest pig. So I guess the real question is how large is the largest hippo? No, I guess that's still more or less the same size.

Cristina: Well, how. How large is it?

Jack: About the size of that pig.

Cristina: Because this pig says length 8 to 7 to 8ft. Height 3 to 4ft, or 3.7 to 4.7 and then 600 to 1,000 pounds. I feel like the hippo still has to be pretty big.

Jack: Like it has way more weight.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: All right, all right, all right. What? Okay, what was this? Were the specs on that pig?

Cristina: It was seven feet. No, sorry. Seven to eight feet.

Jack: Okay, so seven to eight feet long.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Oh, God. So 10ft to 17ft.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. Height.

Jack: What height do you have?

Cristina: 3.7 to 4.7.

Jack: Okay, 4.3 to 5.4. So just them normal height is like about the size of an average sized female human.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. And pounds six hundred to a thousand.

Jack: Oh, man. 3,300 to 4,000. Never mind. A hippo will body a pig so effortlessly.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: Holy crap. 17ft. Dude, what are we talking about anymore? That's absurdly large.

Cristina: But as large as a rhino. I feel like rhinos are probably the same size.

Jack: Rhinos and hippos are like in the same ballpark?

Cristina: Yes. I don't know. See, height, 5.6 to 6 point. Let's say 6.3.

Jack: Okay, so they're taller in height than a hippo. What about lengthwise?

Cristina: Length does not say. Give me the length. What's your question again? Length.

Jack: The length of a hippo.

Cristina: You mean rhino?

Jack: Oh, yeah, of rhino.

Cristina: Give me the length of. We have. Has the length of 7ft 10 inches to 10ft 6 inches.

Jack: No, get body. A 17 foot hippo will body that thing.

Cristina: Oh, 2,000 pounds.

Jack: 3,300 to 4,000.

Cristina: Oh, it's 2,200. Oh, okay. The hippo's still in it by miles.

Jack: Well, I'm just confused as to how something could be so freaking large. This info has to be wrong, right?

Cristina: Sure. Elephants bigger still. That'd be crazy.

Jack: I mean, yeah, elephant is the largest land creature.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But I don't think it's longer. I'm just confused about this length. This can't be right. I refuse to believe a hippo could really, truly, honestly be 17 freaking feet long.

Cristina: 17. Oh my God.

Jack: It's such an absurd length.

Cristina: That is 17. They're long boys.

Jack: They're long boys. 17ft is so freaking excessive, man. Makes you really wonder.

Cristina: It's kind of a hot dog.

Jack: It's gonna have a hot dog.

Cristina: It's a hot dog. It is a hot dog. Although elephants are like 18 to 21ft.

Jack: Yeah, but like Jesus Christ. But I. Yeah, this is nowhere near 17ft.

Cristina: No, the one that. That one.

Jack: Oh my God.

Cristina: It's so freaking huge.

Jack: Oh, God. That one.

Cristina: That one might be.

Jack: Is so crazy looking. I guess. They are so long. They're the wiener elephants.

Cristina: They're long.

Jack: They're wiener elephants.

Cristina: Elephants are long, but they look more proportionate.

Jack: Dude, who the h*** just has a pet hippo?

Cristina: I hope no one. I hope no one. Is this a video of someone with pet hippos?

Jack: I don't know, but that guy just like tapped the mouth of that hippo. That is a long f****** hippo though. But if somebody were to lay down next to it, I'm sure that hippo is like in the lower range. It's like nine feet at most. Doesn't look like seven. 17ft is crazy. That can't be right. That cannot be right. That cannot be right. It's so long. 17ft is three humans stacked end to end.

Cristina: That it. Maybe that's just like the most. The largest hippo they found.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the most exaggerated hippo ever recorded. That's totally A possibility. Because that's nuts. I just. I don't know. It's just nuts. Oh, my God. The largest hippo ever was 16 foot.

Cristina: 16 tall or still.

Jack: No, that would be nuts. You know how the problem that a 16 foot tall Pippa would be the length of that would be like five houses. Sixteen foot is like a two story building.

Cristina: Once upon a time.

Jack: Ancient hippos of the past.

Cristina: Yeah. Dinosaur hippo. 16ft long, not 17ft long.

Jack: That's not like much of a difference. No, they probably rounded to 17 because like 16.5 or something, you know?

Cristina: Yeah. So ridiculous.

Jack: But like, I need this. I need to see it there. Hat man. How the h*** are you 16ft? Like, who the h*** is f****** with you, bro? You had that. That's a giant hippo. I had to dive a heart attack, right?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: There's nothing else. He had to dive a heart attack. There's no other option.

Cristina: It's so crazy looking.

Jack: So this is Don, the largest hippo king showing his dominance in the water.

Cristina: It's hard to tell how big he is.

Jack: It is very hard to tell. Let's see if there's some volume to this. Come on. You can't hear him in the water.

Cristina: It's kind of scary. A lot of animals make some horrifying sounds.

Jack: I wonder how they're deciding to measure this though. And here's the problem, dude. How fast a hippo moves in the water is also like a huge issue.

Cristina: How fast it is.

Jack: Yeah. Hippos are crazy fast on land and on in the water. It is such an unnecessary creature. A hippo. 19 miles per hour. No human ever is outrunning that. For contrast.

Cristina: What are we gonna look up? The human? The elephant. I saw an elephant suit being compared to a hippo 13ft in length. This is the seal one for contrast.

Jack: Humans can max out at 8 miles per hour.

Cristina: Running or swimming?

Jack: Running.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And definitely slower swimming. And the Hippo can clear 19. It is twice as. Actually more than twice as fast as any human. As the fastest human probably. It's more than twice as fast as the fastest human.

Cristina: Do you think us swimming is way slower?

Jack: Has to be 5 miles per hour underwater. Oof.

Cristina: Oh, okay. We're not surviving either way.

Jack: There's just no way, man. It couldn't be okay. No. It would be scary. It would be scary. So the fastest human in all of history clears 5 miles per hour. They would be an even match for an average hippo. What average human in the water clears like 2 miles per hour. Still less than half the speed of the average hippo.

Cristina: I think we got a movie there like Jaws, but with a hippo. What?

Jack: Except it'll just follow you out of the water and then suddenly get even faster.

Cristina: That's even scarier. They have alligator horror movies. Why isn't there a hippo one?

Jack: I don't know. I guess the round fatness kind of kills it. It's not like a scary jagged creature.

Cristina: No. Unless it's eating you. It's. It becomes more scary, I guess. Yeah, but you have to be in that situation. I guess watching it isn't as scary. Such a pudgy looking creature.

Jack: Yeah, it is like a. It's just an awkward creature. Really is. But it's so freaking dangerous.

Cristina: But it's so awkward. It's huge. It's heavy looking. It has the biggest looking stomach ever. I don't understand how it's the more.

Jack: To put food away with.

Cristina: How is it so fast with all its weight though?

Jack: That is an interesting question. I don't know, it's just everything is designed to s*** on a human. That's why we have to develop overpowered brains.

Cristina: Okay. Humongous.

Jack: Without a doubt, the human is the smartest creature on earth. At least on land.

Cristina: Mm. Dolphins being the smartest. No. I don't know. Is the dolphins smartest?

Jack: I believe so, yeah.

Cristina: Dolphins, okay.

Jack: Dolphins dominate the oceans, humans dominate the land. And like birds are generally speaking dumb as opposed to these two other comparisons.

Cristina: Oh, even the smartest bird though, it depends.

Jack: What's the smartest bird?

Cristina: Like a raven? No, there's a big bird, isn't there? That's pretty smart.

Jack: Raven. Yeah. Ravens are way up there. Okay, but then that's my point. So like a raven next to like a raven is definitely highly intelligent. But are we saying that it's like dominating its environment? Like non eagle. That's retarded. Will beat the s*** out of a raven effortlessly.

Cristina: Yeah, but they're like smart compared to a child, right? Like you put their intelligence next to a human.

Jack: Oh, yeah, probably. You gotta understand, human babies are dumb, okay? Human babies are the most useless of all like creatures. They're really, really, really down the pole because there's nothing physical that allows this thing to survive. I guess. No, fair enough. Birds are kind of s*****. Like. Like humans.

Cristina: Yeah. When they're babies.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Usually other creature mammals tend to be hardcore. Except the domesticated ones.

Cristina: What about like kangaroo babies? Those can't do anything.

Jack: Well, kangaroo babies aren't even born yet. Really? They're just Literally in a womb.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That's external. Yes, that's what's happening there.

Cristina: They're not really born though.

Jack: Yeah, they're not really born yet. But I'm thinking, like, if there are some mammals that are useless, like, but there's a lot of domesticated useless s***. I wonder if, like a wild lion is instinctively great at what it's doing, you know, it's. At least it could run around. Is that a thing or is it like a house cat that when it has its babies, they're just retarded the way humans are probably.

Cristina: They have to learn how to hunt and everything. They don't know how to do any of that.

Jack: They'll follow their mom. But can they move? Can they avoid predators, is my question.

Cristina: Ooh, probably not.

Jack: Like, even turtle babies get born and immediately run towards the water. They don't necessarily have to make it, but they have that. A human baby will lay there.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: A domesticated puppy will lay there.

Cristina: What? A baby lion.

Jack: Meanwhile, a baby deer can dip.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You see, it'll be awkward.

Cristina: It will be awkward.

Jack: But it can move. It can try to avoid danger.

Cristina: Okay, it can.

Jack: It knows to be scared, but it.

Cristina: Can'T hunt on its own. Like, if it lost its mom, it's probably dying of starvation if it's not hunted. At least most baby animals, I think. I think when it comes to eating, it's the hardest thing. Even if they can move around quickly, they can run.

Jack: No, I think when it comes to a deer, it would also find its own food. What? Deer is like going to find food and bringing it to its baby?

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: It's not how it works. It just knows.

Cristina: I guess a lot of other animals, though, need the parents bring them things.

Jack: You know what? Funny, I guess. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. There's a. There's a huge trade off happening, Right. Herbivores just kinda. No, carnivores, although way more overpowered as adults. Way underpowered as babies. Yes, babies. So carnivores are more likely to be killed by other carnivores when they're babies.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Than herbivores are when they're babies. Because herbivore babies at least have some motor function to handle their s***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because they need to.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: While usually the carnivores are gonna protect their babies, thus making the weaker baby.

Cristina: Yeah. Because they can't hunt on their own. They can't do it. Like, if that baby gets lost, that's it for that baby.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Can't. What's it gonna do?

Jack: But herbivores don't have that issue because.

Cristina: Their food is everywhere.

Jack: Yeah. That's why dogs, even if they're in the house and you feed them crap that they shouldn't naturally eat, that's still technically carnivore. That's why its babies are dumb, because it's a carnivore and carnivores have dumb babies.

Cristina: Dumb babies.

Jack: Yeah. The dumbest babies are all carnivores.

Cristina: Yes. I guess. So. He's even birds. I'm thinking they're carnivores.

Jack: Yeah, they kind of are. And they got dumb babies. If there are herbivore baby birds, maybe they're better.

Cristina: But no, because they also have the disadvantage that their babies can't move. Like, they can move, but they can't fly. Like, if they're in a nest, they're not getting out of that nest until they have the ability to fly.

Jack: Yeah. Also, I don't think there's any herbivore birds.

Jack: Okay. There are a hummingbird.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Does a hummingbird baby know what it's doing?

Cristina: I don't know. Like, it doesn't naturally know.

Jack: How would you figure it out? I feel like a hummingbird would struggle.

Cristina: Yeah. But also, they still have to get to a certain age to be able to fly and everything. Because birds don't just naturally are born and then fly. That's. Hummingbirds are one bird that does. That would be crazy.

Jack: That'd be fascinating. Right? Is it just born and badass?

Cristina: No way.

Jack: It couldn't be. But then that would mean that a hummingbird isn't a hummingbird is probably not really a herbivore. That's an interesting question. Right?

Cristina: Isn't that the one that eats the flowers? What's it called?

Jack: Yeah, the, like, nectar of a flower. Oh, crap. No, they are. They're. They're omnivores. They eat, like, insects and spiders and junk.

Cristina: Ah, okay. They do eat nectar as well. But that's not the only thing they do.

Jack: Yes. The fact that they have any. The fact that they're eating living things immediately makes your baby stupid by default. I don't know why, but if you eat anything that isn't a plant, your babies are dumb. There's a pattern there.

Cristina: No, we don't know if herbivores are. Babies are that smart that they know everything with their food or whatever.

Jack: It would be like, can a. Does a baby deer know? Right.

Cristina: Yeah. They still feel like they have to figure out what's the best plant to eat because they can eat the wrong plant and then die of Food poisoning or something. So they gotta still be taught something. It's not all natural, is it?

Jack: I guess. Yeah. So at about two weeks of age, a fawn will start browsing tender vegetation and learn from its mother what plants it eats.

Cristina: Booyah. Wait, how long? Two weeks. Oh my God.

Jack: S**** on the all. All the other things that eat living things. Crapping on it. Lightning speed.

Cristina: Yeah, but it's not automatic either. There's nothing that just automatically knows what to eat. Maybe fish.

Jack: You think there's. Okay. Screwfish. You don't think there's any mammal that just born knowing?

Cristina: No, no. I think they have to figure it out. There's some learning curve going on. You can't just naturally know. Okay, this is what I eat. Maybe insects, maybe frogs. No, frogs have a whole life cycle thing going on. Yeah, frogs are weird, complicated thing going on.

Jack: Additionally, a frog is not an insect.

Cristina: No, I'm just naming animals.

Jack: But insects are not animals.

Cristina: Whatever.

Jack: And spiders are. Arachnids.

Cristina: Yes. Well, I'm talking about creatures then.

Jack: Living creature just born knowing what to do.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Fish for sure.

Cristina: And spiders for sure. Right.

Jack: Yeah, there's probably. Probably all the insects.

Cristina: All the insects, yeah.

Jack: Yeah. I don't think anybody taught an ant how to go be an ant. I just thought this is kind of. Again, it's automatic behavior.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: If you have. If you're entirely automatic behavior, then you're good to go.

Cristina: Yes, but I guess it's not the same with mammals.

Jack: No, Mammals have a whole learning issue going on. So do birds, for whatever reason.

Cristina: Yes. Yes, they do. Except for like one bird I found that it's not. Well, the parent doesn't baby the babies, I guess is.

Jack: What do you mean? Is this born smart?

Cristina: Yes. Well, I don't know if it's born smart, but the parents, like. You know how all birds usually incubate their babies by sitting on them? Yeah, they don't do that. They build a mound that's like a pit for the eggs to stay warm.

Jack: Yeah, I've heard of that. A couple of birds did that.

Cristina: And this one, the. It's called a megapod. Megapod. Megapod. I hope I'm saying that right. Megapods. Megapods. Have you heard this bird?

Jack: No.

Cristina: It looks like a chicken or a rooster. I'm not sure.

Jack: Foul of some sort.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah, they're cute, but yeah, like, they don't take care of their babies like other birds. Like, most birds sit on their babies. These birds don't. And then their babies fly away after 24 hours.

Jack: After they hatch.

Cristina: Well, they don't fly away. They can fly within 24 hours of hatching.

Jack: Hatching, yes.

Cristina: I'm not. I don't know if they can fly away and then just disappear.

Jack: That's pretty hardcore. So that's a super bird.

Cristina: Yeah, and. Yeah, that's why.

Jack: That's pretty impressive. So there's a super bird that within 24 hours. You know what's really haunting me though? I'm just over here thinking about, like, what could really f*** with a hippo. That's all that. I. I'm over all this other s***. Like, I want to take out a hippo. That's it. I just want to kill. I want the one thing that could body a hippo. And the first thing that came to mind was like, what's the largest snake in the world?

Cristina: What? Why would that come to mind?

Jack: Because the snake can eat almost anything. And then in doing that's true, I look this up and it's like, nah, man.

Cristina: Not even the biggest.

Jack: No, the biggest snake could not handle. It's too. It's too. A hippos too big. It'd be like trying to eat an elephant in one shot.

Cristina: Okay, so I'm guessing a snake hasn't eaten an elephant either, right?

Jack: Yeah, for sure. It's too exaggerated. It's really probably the largest snakes ever.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Couldn't eat a hippo, but could they.

Cristina: Eat a alligator or something?

Jack: Easily. Easily the biggest snakes ever. Easily.

Cristina: Like, how big can it get though the animal that eats?

Jack: Pretty big. There's some snakes that have a width of three feet.

Cristina: I can't eat a horse though.

Jack: A width of three feet and then it could expand that.

Cristina: Snakes are stretchy, but not enough to. Has there been a snake that ate a horse? That's what I want to know.

Jack: We're trying to kill a hippo. Why are you trying to kill a horse?

Cristina: I don't know. Because it's smaller. But it's not.

Jack: It's a pretty big animal.

Cristina: It's not compared to a hippo.

Jack: Yeah, fair enough. That's very tiny.

Cristina: Although I don't imagine, like, how the snake would have gotten to the horse. That would be crazy. So what can kill a hippo?

Jack: So first the horse. A python could eat a horse?

Cristina: Oh my gosh.

Jack: Yeah. In fact, Dr. Google says a Burmese.

Cristina: Python can eat a horse.

Jack: Can eat a horse.

Cristina: I wonder if it has eaten a horse. Are they just saying, like, from the size its stomach can get?

Jack: No, here's. Here's what I'll say. Here's what I'll say. A snake can easily eat a horse because a horse is not absorbently fat. You crush the horse.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Its legs fold, it goes into your body. It is about roughly like two humans.

Cristina: But has it done that?

Jack: Don't know. Probably. We wouldn't know. We haven't seen all the horses and all the snakes. We haven't seen all the horse snakes. Interaction interactions, you know. Yeah, but like physical ability alone. H*** no. A snake cannot f*** with a hippo. A hippos as wide as it is tall.

Cristina: So what can do it Eat a.

Jack: Hippo if it wasn't a snake. That's why I thought snake. If it wasn't a snake. It's just not happening. No, it's just not happening.

Cristina: A shark. I don't know how that situation.

Jack: Fair enough. It would have to be that we're not talking mammals anymore, we're not talking predators. We're just at this point like what random animal who couldn't even encounter a hippo would eat a hippo?

Cristina: Yeah. Okay, so then shark works. Okay.

Jack: No, a shark wouldn't like.

Cristina: I'm pretty sure it's too random.

Jack: It's pretty random. Okay, okay, you want to know about shark immediately into. Into forums with some experts and some casuals and the experts immediately jump into saying a great white is the comparison you got to make. That's the top of the line when it comes to sharks. Now, problem being, if any shark or if any creature were to take out a hippo, it would have to be in water where you could find the hippo. And the hippo is not the supreme being. If the hip. If there were to be any animal to survive a great white attack, it would, interestingly enough, be a hippo. So this is the best comparison because it's the water creature that would most likely survive a great white attack and the great white would. And the creature that the great white would struggle the most with simultaneously, these are exactly what it is. So the great white can take out most things. The hippo would be the thing it would struggle most with. And what is most likely to survive the great white attack? It won't be the hippo.

Cristina: So we have no idea what could take them. A hippo still.

Jack: Well, the idea here would be the hippo is faster than a human in the water, but not faster than a fish in the water. So the hippo would have the. The clumsy difficulty happening in the water as compared to a shark. It's very clumsy. And the shark could literally swim circles around it. Yeah, the shark does have the lack of reverse, that's a problem. A lot of sharks can't back up.

Cristina: Another bigger bite.

Jack: The hippo has a bigger bite, Definitely.

Cristina: Has the rougher skin as well.

Jack: Yes. Sharks just happen to be so dangerous. They don't need the sharpest, I mean, the thickest skin, but they do have tougher teeth. While the hippo on the other hand has not the toughest teeth but the biggest mouth. So it could have a lot. Now it has way more pressure in its jaw than a shark. This is pretty like experts hopping popped in here immediately they're just like, this is a fascinating question. So the hippo or the shark, if the shark is hungry enough, it would be desperate enough and just maybe persist and that, that could probably tip the scale. The hippo wouldn't try to eat the shark, it would try to kill the shark, but it has less motivation than the shark has.

Cristina: But they're both doing it to survive.

Jack: What do you mean?

Cristina: The shark needs to eat the hipple to survive and the hippo needs to kill off the shark to survive?

Jack: Yes. Okay, fair enough. Here's the hippo will feel less problems happening, the shark will feel more. The hippo's used to crap trying to with it, but it's always the victor, so it's less worried about things.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: The shark is like, if I don't eat this thing, I'm gonna die. The desperation might be the fuel.

Cristina: Okay, man.

Jack: Interesting. Yes.

Cristina: But is there a better animal or is this the best we can find? Like.

Jack: Well, somebody just. You said shark.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah.

Jack: So I found shark.

Cristina: No. Yeah, but we can think of something better.

Jack: What would be better than a shark? It seems to be the most balanced match. We'd have to find something that's into scale. I suppose the argument would be is there a whale big enough to one shot? A hippo?

Cristina: No way. A blue whale. It's pretty big.

Jack: How big?

Cristina: Bigger than like a bunch of elephants.

Jack: How many elephants equals a blue whale?

Cristina: 14 to 21.

Jack: So it's excessively large.

Cristina: It's humongous. It wouldn't do anything to the hippo, though. I can't imagine that it would. I don't think blue whales eat meat or anything.

Jack: They probably do, just not casually like that.

Cristina: But orcas can do something. Maybe.

Jack: Orcas?

Cristina: Orcas, they can kill whales. The blue whale, I mean.

Jack: Fair enough. Some of them can flat out eat a whale.

Cristina: Eat a whale?

Jack: Yes. Now that they would. I mean, what the h***. I said whale. I mean, I guess they couldn't eat a whale. They would Gang up and just like mess it up. Fight it like a gang. Rape it or something.

Cristina: They would kill it. They would kill a young whale.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: I don't know if they'll eat it.

Jack: Maybe they eat it, but a whale will definitely body a hippo.

Cristina: Yeah, it's huge.

Jack: So will it elephant. Of course.

Cristina: Elephants are hu. Well, I guess compared to hippos, they're pretty big. Yeah, but who's smarter? Cat versus a hippo versus elephant.

Jack: I think it would be an elephant by miles.

Cristina: It's bigger and smarter.

Jack: It's bigger and smarter. It's way more powerful and just one of the most intelligent beings on earth, period.

Cristina: I don't see an elephant fighting a hippo though. Unless a hippo tried to mess with it for fun.

Jack: Yeah, Like a hippo would be like, well, he's an idiot, whatever.

Cristina: And then he will lose.

Jack: It's weird. A hippos think of us as human more than we think of hippos. That's a living thing. Not hippos, elephants. Elephants see humans as humans more than elephants see elephants as a thinking creature.

Cristina: Say that again.

Jack: Elephants see humans as humans. We're thinking. We're critical. They see that more than an elephant will see a person be completely normal and register that they are people or something like that. I don't know. I lost my train of thought.

Cristina: Are you saying the elephant sees a person more than a person?

Jack: Yes. A person feels an elephant isn't conscious and elephant knows a human is.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: But outside the point we know elephant would body a hippo.

Cristina: Yes, that's the main thing. The elephant be the hippo.

Jack: That's the main lesson in life.

Cristina: Yes. We've done it. We figured it out. It's an elephant.

Jack: Yes. Yeah. So I guess that's the solution. An elephant and a blue whale will both body a hippo.

Cristina: Well, doesn't count. Because it wouldn't.

Jack: Fair enough. If it had to, it would.

Cristina: If it had to, it would. Would it?

Jack: I don't know. It wouldn't. But if it had to, it would.

Cristina: What about the hippo versus the orca? Wouldn't it be the same thing?

Jack: Why?

Cristina: Because if a orca. What? No. Or was it a shark? What did you say before? It was a shark. A starving shark versus a hippo. The starving shark will win.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Because it needs to. Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: Essentially it needs. In order to survive.

Cristina: Yeah. So wouldn't it be the same with the. With what was the thing that we were just talking about? The orca?

Jack: No, hippo.

Cristina: The whale.

Jack: Yes. The other One.

Cristina: The whale versus the hippo. I can't remember.

Jack: It doesn't matter. Point is, hippos are pretty hard to be in.

Cristina: Elephants are probably harder and smarter. And smarter.

Jack: So it is what it is.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Anyways, if you guys like how absurd this conversation was, you can feel free to find us on social media. JustConvopod.

Cristina: Remember to subscribe, rate, and review the show.

Jack: Yes. Word of mouth is kind overpowered. It's awesome. It'll bring you riches.

Cristina: Riches. And let someone who might like this.

Jack: Show know about it, because word of mouth matters.

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

Jack: Which is weird because it means to some degree, Martin Luther King is also connected to Santa.

Cristina: That is what? Weird. Yeah. But does he know about the penguins? Do you think he knew about the penguins?

Jack: Who?

Cristina: Martha Luther King?

Jack: I don't know if he knew about the penguins. I know that anybody who has to cross the Arctic must interact with the penguins.

Cristina: And if you are, we just recently learned about chimeras. So how long have they been existing?

Jack: Oh, I'm calling them a chimera. I don't really know. Again, there's no. I don't know what they are. Oh, it's an assumption.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I don't know what they are. Yeah, they're not birds, because we know that's bullshit.

Cristina: They're not related to Scooby Doo.

Jack: They're maybe. I don't know. They come from the other side of the wall. I could not tell you anything. I am not allowed to research over there. I can venture over there, but it's not our business. Yeah, it's not our job to go over the wall and do anything lame.

Cristina: But I guess, yeah, we work with.

Jack: Earthly affairs inside the wall and anything supernatural outside the planet.

Cristina: Outside the planet, man. Well, how. But how much supernatural things are happening right outside the wa.

Jack: Don't know. Not allowed to look.

Cristina: Not allowed to look. What if it's helpful, though?

Jack: Doesn't matter. We got to figure it out. What's in here?

Cristina: Wow. That's lame. Do you think we could, though? Because the other Earth has an Arctic. What if we examine their Arctic? Or it would be different.

Jack: I'm guessing it'll probably be different. I don't know. There's parallel nests going on.

Cristina: Yeah. So maybe they have a wand.

Jack: Depends. Is there wall? Is there. Do they have flat Earthers? I don't know.

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor, and published by greatthoughts.info art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth McAllister. With social media managed by Amber Black.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas.

Cristina: Some baffling ideas.

Jack: Yeah. First of all, this is my, like, nerdy voice. When I come with information ready, I gotta sound like this always. I don't know why nerds on TV always have this kind of voice going. Like, it can't be a real sharp, cool nerd. It always has to be like a scrawny whack nerd.

Cristina: It sounds like he. His nose is very stuffy.

Jack: Always has to be. It's part of being super smart. When you're super smart, your nose clogs up. Your brain matter is so like less than.

Cristina: Unpack this real quick.

Jack: Let's unpack. Let's unpack it. It's always the same person who's highly intelligent, right? So something about high intelligence clogs your nose.

Cristina: Presumably you're also blind. You're always wearing glasses.

Jack: You're always wearing glasses. So it's like your brain is essentially feeding on the rest of your body.

Cristina: That's why it's so weak and fragile.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the idea behind, like the grays. Right? Like that they're really scrawny and like skinny, but got huge heads.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And like their eyes, I don't know why they're f****** so huge. But you get the point. So in theory, there must be some connection between the blindness, the scrawniness and the voice being whack and totally being super nasally. So first, first of all, somehow your brain having a lot of information means testosterone shut down. You don't get man degrees of testosterone. Actually, even when you're a female, you get less estrogen than normal too. So you're just like in some ambiguous.

Cristina: Kind of like you're more of a.

Jack: Bro, you gender, like neutral. You're nowhere.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: You're nowhere. It ain't even fluidity. You're not here nor there. You're just kind of some middle ground s***. Then your brain is also, for whatever reason, I guess the eyes are just the closest next thing. And it's like just eating the f****** resources your eyes would be using.

Cristina: Because she's also wearing glasses.

Jack: Yeah. You're thinking Volma from Scooby Doo right off the bat. You said she and I pictured exactly who you're thinking. Yeah, right.

Cristina: Well, She's a good example.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. And like Dexter, like, extra tiny. Everybody. Everybody who's like the smart guy in the team is always the nerd with the glasses.

Cristina: His rival. Dexter's rival. What's his name? Mandar Mandork.

Jack: Well, it's Man Dark, but they used to call him Man Dork.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Well, he's exact version of the geek.

Jack: Yeah, he's like, super skinny because, like, Dexter's potentially fat. We don't know. He's a baby. Technically. He's like six months old. He's super young.

Cristina: He's a huge baby.

Jack: No, he's not. He's like, probably abnormally small for a baby.

Cristina: Oh, he's not a fat baby.

Jack: He might be, but he's a baby. What baby isn't fat?

Cristina: Oh, okay. I don't know what baby's walking around.

Jack: Yeah, he. Well, super intellect.

Cristina: Oh, yeah.

Jack: I don't know how that means he's got, like, the body strength to do anything, but whatever, you know?

Cristina: Does that make him a strong baby?

Jack: You guess. But also, his legs are so short. They're not really, like. They're not really supporting much, you know?

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: If they were longer legs, he'd be like. Well, they'd be wobbly, but it's like he only has these weird stumps he wants.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: It's like, whatever, dude. His arms are also like, short little stompy things. The weird person. But then, so the eyes. You know, blindness is just inherent when you're intelligent. And no testosterone means a weak voice, but no estrogen means a high voice. And you got both going on. So you got some neutral, centered thing going on. And your brain is just eating all your body resources. So you're just really skinny and dying.

Cristina: Always.

Jack: Always. Except Bulma, actually. She's like the hot, busty, curvy, like, super exception nerd. She doesn't fit the box. You know, she doesn't fit the mold. No, I guess she's some other s***.

Cristina: Even when she's working in the lab, she put on glasses there probably.

Jack: She literally can't see without her glasses. That's like her thing. Her thing is how blind she.

Cristina: Bulma. And I was thinking about the Dragon Ball Z lady. What's her name?

Jack: Oh, s***. She's all. That's Bulma. Yeah, she's also like a nerd, but she's another exception.

Cristina: Okay, because that's what I thought you started talking about.

Jack: No, I'm talking Scooby Doo. Like, she's like a mini skirt wearing knee high socks. Like Actually, this disturbingly old guy schoolgirl fantasy is foma.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: I don't know what's up with f****** old dudes? I think school girls, bro, they clearly just want to molest the school girl. Yeah, like a lot of people clearly just want to molest a schoolgirl.

Cristina: Disturbing.

Jack: Disturbing, bro. They're just like, wow, this is hot school. And look at how big is it. How. How big in the world is the whole schoolgirl cosplay thing? I'm gonna be the teacher and you're the naughty student and I got the ruler and whoops, I gotta pull your skirt up and spank you with my. Because you've been a bad girl and I'm the teacher and that's what I do. It's like, bro, so you're telling me your fantasy is f*** a kid? Is that like.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Am I getting this right? The fantasy is f*** a kid in a classroom when nobody's seeing, but you can in theory get caught, but you don't because you're a clever enough teacher to f*** the kid and get away.

Cristina: I guess. But in the fantasy, does this kid also want it? I don't.

Jack: I think so. I think the fantasy is not rape.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: The fantasy is I want to f*** a kid that wants to f*** me back in class in order to not get punished. So you know what? Maybe there is some. For some vague. Me too, is kind of rape going on because it's like a power rape as opposed to a violent rape. It's the whole, you're going to do it because you don't know. You feel in a jam. You don't know what else to do.

Cristina: Going to get bad grades if you don't.

Jack: Yeah. And then my parents are going to beat the s*** out of me and I'm more scared of that. So I'm going to let this other human enter my body. As opposed to taking the pain of being hit, I'm going to take the pain of this other human entering my body. Thus fantasy. Because, guys. Yay. Yeah. Well, look, humans are disturbing in general, I guess.

Cristina: Yes. There's people that just do disturbing things in general.

Jack: Look, it's usually the people who are like kindness, right? Like there's no pure evil out there. I don't believe in that. I think it's all the good people who are truly like, your next door neighbor just wants to f*** a kid. That's just all it. He doesn't. He doesn't.

Cristina: Or a dog.

Jack: Or dog. He was f****** dog. He just. Look, it's fine, dude. He didn't know. They don't do it. They don't do it. They want to do it. They really want to do it. There's nothing they want to do more. But they're not gonna do it. Because you're like, I'm not gonna go to prison forever either. I like, yes, this is what I want to do most, but I don't want to do that more than I do want to do this. So it is what it is.

Cristina: And online there's so many stories that are as disturbing. I don't know if it's real. The stories that are online that are like, are people really doing these things? Like, dog thing. Is this real?

Jack: All of it. All of it. You gotta understand that everybody's weird and Scott s***, like closets are filled with things.

Cristina: Okay? Cuz there was a story though that a guy was like eating his poop for fun. And then I guess he dies. That's the end of the story.

Jack: That story checks out. That sounds like, I think that story is real because he didn't like get superpowers or get stronger or survive. He just died.

Cristina: Yeah, it feels right, but it was like, you know, it took a while. He didn't die immediately. I think it probably a week or two of eating his puppy.

Jack: Not long enough to say he was doing it for fun. He was just kind of experimenting the scene.

Cristina: No, he was describing it as like, it was for fun. He was enjoying it. He loved it. He was describing how amazing it felt in his mouth.

Jack: His own poop. I mean, it is what it is, man. Some people, people like weird s***.

Cristina: You think that's a real thing though?

Jack: Yes, look, everybody, without exception, even you, even me, everybody has something really weird. Really weird.

Jack: It's like, okay, look, there's literally a letter out there. There's a letter out there by a priest, a black African American priest. And he wrote this letter saying, I am tired. I am so tired of everybody around me looking at Dr. Martin Luther King like he's a f****** hero. And then I to hang out with this guy and I just end up at some weird sex orgy with him. That's not how a priest is supposed to behave. That is a real letter that this got two letters actually this guy sent complaining about Dr. Martin Luther King. He keeps having sex orgies and he's like, when people don't want to participate, he talks about how we're going to teach him to be better. It's like, whoa, okay. So like the biggest he. And no, the craziest part is he's.

Cristina: Pressuring people to have guys.

Jack: It's a gay sex orgy. He takes part in gay sex orgies. There's two letters directly saying, Dr. Dr. Martin Luther King continues to participate in gay sex orgies. And that's not priest, like. And I. I don't want.

Cristina: I'm pressuring these people.

Jack: Well, no, no, not everybody. A bunch of people are just into it, okay? And first of all, sketchy letter, bro. Why are you there?

Cristina: Yeah. Second, did he pressure him or was he.

Jack: I mean, he could have been pressured.

Cristina: But that's not even.

Jack: That's not even the point. The point is that he's there having f****** gay sex with a bunch of dudes. And, like, he's enjoying it. And, like, he then goes out and he's like, that's wrong. Because God said.

Cristina: I don't know. Was he saying that? I mean, he probably was saying he's a Christian priest.

Jack: He was definitely above all saying that. Yes, but that's my point. Everybody.

Cristina: Everybody expected from a Christian priest that he would.

Jack: It checks out. Funniest thing is how the black community is so opposed to anything homosexual, but their worship of Dr. Martin Luther King in the first place is like. So you worship arguably the gayest figure you've ever considered in your mind, except you don't really know the gayest figure in your mind because he kept that part secret. But that's how often you might just be like, how many of the rappers you just find awesome or just total facades. And the second they walk off stage and you're like, yeah, I want to be like that guy. He just sticks the fattest d*** in his f****** mouth.

Cristina: I hope it's Drake. No.

Jack: Anybody? Bro? Point being, the. The community is like, no, that's wrong. And it's like your hero, the guy who fought for your rights, the guy you defend the hardest, was sucking so much d***, bro. Oh, and his a** was so filled.

Cristina: How dare he.

Jack: He was so stuffed. He was like a turkey person that's.

Cristina: Complaining about it, like, describing what was.

Jack: No, no, okay. He's more complaining of, like, I'm tired really respecting this guy. And like, this is what a. This is what a priest should behave like. Not partaking in gay sex orgies, but for whatever reason, he continues to do that. And all of you still worship the ground he walks on. But my only question is, how do you know, bro? Why are you there? You're also at gay sex orgies. You might not be having gay sex, but you're kind of sus.

Cristina: Because you're Close enough to him, like, know his secret like that.

Jack: Not even close enough to him. You're just wherever the f*** he's hanging out. You don't. You don't need to be close to him. Let's just assume you're at a priest hangout where casually it just turns into gay sex orgies.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: And it's like, well, you're kind of there, bro.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like, let's say walk away and you have no stories. Unless. Unless Dr. Martin Luther King is always the initiator too. He's like, hey, guys, it's gay sex orgy time. Then you're like, imma go. But you already know, and you're only completely. Maybe in the letter it was specifically just complaining about Dr. Martin Luther King. But it's also like, that guy is so famous. Who else would you talk about?

Cristina: Exactly. Yes. It was just hate.

Jack: Because it was hate. It's like, stop sucking d*** because you're. You're too famous. And a priest.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And I got a hand priest.

Cristina: Do their thing.

Jack: He could. Bob over there. Nobody knows who Bob is. You see how deep that d*** is inside Bob? That's fine because nobody knows who Bob is. Yeah, but you see how deep that d*** is inside you. People gonna be looking at your a****** to see if you've had d*** deep in there. So, like, don't. Don't have d*** deep in there because people gonna be looking at your a******, and then we're all gonna look bad.

Cristina: Ye. What the letters were.

Jack: It could totally be. It could totally be. Look, it's not my place to tell the black community that they worship a gay black guy, but they do, and it just is what it is. But those are just secrets. Everybody's got that thing going on probably nowhere near that degree.

Cristina: That's pretty.

Jack: That's pretty up there. But it's. That's my point. That it's just like everybody does. Everybody's got a weird, twisted fantasy. Yeah. Some people want to f*** their dogs. Yeah. Like a good giant portion of guys just want to go f*** a minor. And like, some black guys just want to suck d***. And usually it's the more famous ones that hide it well. And the communities worship the ground they walk on and then hate all the gays when in reality, you're worshiping the gayest of them all.

Cristina: How well was that secret, though? It's a party. So there's a more than one person.

Jack: Yeah, no, it wasn't that well of a secret. It's just. There's a lot of denial in the Black community too. It's kind of like that line from Biggie singing, she's so hot, I'll suck her daddy's d*** or some s***. It's like, like, whoa, you're the rapper. They worship. And then. Look, let's just like go off on a, on a racially charged tangent right now. They worship Dr. Martin Luther King, who does gay sex parties. Their favorite rapper is a guy who says he'll suck some dude's d***. And then they call all the women b****** and all the guys are men. Men. Like, come on. Just. There's a lot of gay happening there. Like a lot of gay happening and a lot of denial happening surrounding that gay. Where it's like, no, that's some gay s***. I'm not gonna f***. And like, why are you so worried about what some other guy is f******? Huh? That's kind of gay.

Cristina: That's kind of gay.

Jack: It's kind of gay. You're worrying about what some guys f******. That's kind of gay.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Who cares if he's f****** another guy? Why do you specifically care? Do you want to be the guy he's f******, maybe? Or like, well, he's not f****** a chick. Yeah, but why do you care? You see how weird it gets when you just ask a couple of questions?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Now, spinning back off of that tangent. I'm so posh. Spitting off of that tan.

Cristina: Tangent, tangent. Someone saying it like that immense.

Jack: I. No, you know, somebody's singing like that because I, I just did. That means somebody out there says it like that normally because like, my mouth made the sound and there's too many variants out there. Somebody says, tangent, tangent, tangent.

Cristina: That's awful.

Jack: Gonna go off on a tangent. Sounds right. Go off on a tangent. Anyways, point being, there's a lot of hidden stuff out there. A lot of dark out there. But one of the biggest things is kind of people like Martin Luther King. Think about, like Epstein, super famous child molester, but like also just a famous guy. Bill Cosby, he was, he was famous for like, I don't know, just hanging out with rich people. Bill Cosby, absurdly famous comedian. People in the background, but super worshiped comedian. Like, he was great until he wasn't.

Cristina: Until we found out he was a raper.

Jack: A raper rapist. And this brings me to the conclusion that all the heroes of the world are this kind of problem. And they all got, like, weird closeted things going on.

Cristina: Every hero, everybody.

Jack: Like, look, let's go to like one of the, the great peacemakers of all Time Gandhi, great, fantastic peacemaker. Absolutely known for doing some of the one food wise aiming towards protecting animals and taking care of your body by avoiding. He was like beyond vegan. He was just eating like fruits that didn't have seeds and nuts and crap like that. You know, just way specific things. And he, he managed to. He proposed many peace treaties and accomplished many of them. He was just great, fantastic hero. Like Dr. Martin Luther King. The guy who f**** guys. That's what I just know him for from now on.

Cristina: Is he f****** guys?

Jack: Well, no. He was f****** minors. No, because he would get. Well how old is this man? 70. And he would get naked little girls to sleep on his bed to test his restraint.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Now this doesn't mean he's actually f****** the kids. This just tells factually he wants to f*** this kid. They're all girls. He's at least not gay like Dr. Martin Luther King. But he's definitely a pedophile.

Cristina: What is wrong with these parents?

Jack: But he's like I'm going to have this little girl. Well he's Gandhi. You're definitely gonna feed your children to Gandhi. If anybody's gonna moles this my kid, it better be Gandhi or Jackson.

Cristina: Yeah, you know it's one of these people situation.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Hey, that's what he was doing. He's just testing his strength.

Jack: He was. Yeah, fair enough. Michael Jackson is just like I want to these kids but I'm not going to. And like proof he did in the case of Gandhi. He gets these people, they're in the bed and the. The goal is.

Cristina: Are they naked?

Jack: Yes, you're naked. The goal is. I'm not gonna them.

Cristina: Is he naked?

Jack: Unclear. Okay, he's not f****** the children. He might be. Who knows. You know how Indian clothes is. It's like mainly loose garbage you could just throw off. It's real easy to just done because like drapes and. Well in that times like drapes and s*** anyways point being naked little girls on your bed at night because self control. But what are you self controlling? The urge to f*** the little girl. That's all that he's controlling.

Cristina: Yeah. No one thought like there should be an age limit to who we sent to him or something like no one.

Jack: Nope. But that's not even like. Yes. That's actually the worst thing he did. It was pretty bad. Other things like his blatantly open and quite vocal support of white supremacy. He really believed white people were just better and like yeah, got me like let's be real. They run everything and they're like the vast minority. So like the argument is kind of strong in their favor if we were to pick one. Although my argument still stands that it's probably Mexicans because they can get way more done in the last time. And it's like if they really wanted to go into action, what white guy is gonna really win? Nah, bro, they're just gonna get over populate you overnight if they felt like it.

Cristina: The Mexican.

Jack: Yeah, the Mexican.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And it's like that's the ultimate race. But they're like quiet about, they don't care. They just give them a beer or something, they'll be happy. But it's Mexicans on top, then white people, then Indians, I guess, and then black people at the bottom. And there's a bunch of races missing. But like, I'm only talking very strange tier list. Yeah, it's a strange tier list. Gandhi really just thought white people than Indians and blacks. He just thought his real thoughts vocally and like in paper and letters and stu are just give us more rights than the black people to prove we're better. And then you're running things. Pretty sweet. Keep it how it's going. That's the summary. Just do what you're doing. You get you white people. You got it. Just look, don't treat us like black people. That's all I ask. Make us better and keep doing what you're doing.

Cristina: Does he wants at least to be equal to the white people or he's like, nah, we don't have to be equal to you. At least let us be better than them.

Jack: He specifically wanted to be equal to white people. He, he, not the Indians. He. He's not like, my people are equal to white people. No, no, no, no. I'm equal to white people. My people can suck it.

Cristina: Okay? But he wants his people to be.

Jack: Better than black, better off than blacks. Yes, because he was racist.

Cristina: Okay. But he's like, they're not better than you guys.

Jack: Yeah, now my people could never.

Cristina: But they're not.

Jack: No, no, no, I'm not better. I'm equal.

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: I don't think he could fathom better. What would he do better than a white person, malnourished, 70 year old guy like, bro, you're not getting far. You're just gonna die one day. And then he did.

Cristina: He did.

Jack: And then the last laugh was on all of us.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Because he didn't like, he's dead.

Cristina: Oh, he slept with so many little girls.

Jack: We don't know that because the idea was restraint.

Cristina: Well, I Didn't say he had sex.

Jack: Literally said, I don't know. You literally being slapped.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Fair enough. Fair enough. That checks out. Yeah. That's how often stuff like that happens. All the heroes. All heroes think of. Think of this really obvious one that nobody ever gives thought to. And it kind of throws me off that nobody thinks about it. And it's like, Oskar Schindler. Yes. He's well known for having a camp in which he allowed the Jews to practice their religion and live normal lives during World War II. Now, let's take a couple of steps back in that story. This is. Start rewinding. And eventually we get into, like, a breaking point. Before he started being nice to them, but he still had a camp. And you just. Okay, you hit the point. Just keep rewinding little by little. See how that. What does that part of the film that we don't really get look like? What is that part of the book.

Cristina: That we don't get? Just like everyone else.

Jack: He had to be, because you were just getting orders like everybody else. And then you come in and you do what you're doing, and then they convince you, and you're like, ah, they're people too. How many did he kill, though?

Cristina: They don't have any history on that. I mean, they probably do.

Jack: I wasn't on the card. Oh, but that's interesting, right?

Cristina: That is interesting. Probably did kill some.

Jack: He definitely did. He definitely got many Jews killed.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And we're like, yeah. You know, we forget s***. We forget s***. Humans don't give a f***.

Cristina: But he changed. He became a hero.

Jack: Yeah, I guess. Totally killed people in a furnace, probably. Or did you run a factory? Some s*** like that? I'm not really even sure. Interesting enough. Way worse than that. What's worse is the blatant outward approach, not even trying to hide it. Nelson Mandela was responsible for a car bombing that took out 19 people for a fact.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: It is how he was handling his business and he got a car to go do bombing.

Cristina: Whoa. Whaat.

Jack: Yeah. The hero, Nelson Mandela, is responsible for bare minimum 19 murders over a specific one case. But there are many because Nelson Mandela, criminal, then president.

Jack: However many years in jail.

Cristina: He was in jail for that, though.

Jack: Yeah. He was sending orders out like a good kingpin.

Cristina: Oh, whoa, whoa. What? So, what, he's just killing people off?

Jack: Oh, yeah.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: That's weird.

Cristina: That is so weird. Yeah.

Jack: It's the kind of thing that you don't really think about, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like, it doesn't cross anyone's mind. Another interesting one was Abraham Lincoln.

Cristina: What about him?

Jack: He owned slaves. No, it's bullshit. He was avidly against that, but he was totally against cleansing of black people.

Cristina: What does that mean?

Jack: You know, the trash isn't like offensive enough to throw them into. Just bury them, that's fine.

Cristina: I don't understand.

Jack: Kill the black people.

Cristina: He wanted to kill the black people.

Jack: He wanted to get rid of all the black people so they wouldn't be anywhere near them. Now he also didn't want slaves. He kind of people think the freeing of slaves was because he himself was a good guy. But that's not true. That's never been true. His freeing of the slaves was because it was convenient. He specifically said if keeping the slaves would keep the union together, gladly, I'd do it. He didn't give a f*** about the slaves.

Cristina: But he wanted them dead.

Jack: Yes, he yawned paper many times. And it's presumed that throughout the entire course of his presidency he was trying to convince people to agree to that. But bipartisan reasoning helped avoid that.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Because I know he was against black people. He wanted nothing to do with them. Have them gone or. Or gone or gone.

Cristina: What?

Jack: But whichever one you get to first, it is what it is.

Cristina: That is. That's crazy. You want them dead.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: It's hard to choose which one of these are more disturbing.

Jack: Yeah, they're quite baffling, right? Yeah, kind of a problem, but that's the reality of the matter. Closets with skeletons. Many skeletons.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Many closets.

Cristina: Having those little girls. Oh my gosh, that's just.

Jack: That's disturbing from Gandhi. Yeah, man. But on the flip side, on the flip side, humans face a level of ignorance where they kind of pick a team, stick to the team, regardless of what the case is, instead of really thinking further ahead. Right. We have medicines that are quite overpowered. We have grade A medicines in the world. We can stop a lot of problems. Greedy. We can solve a lot of problems if we had a better distribution.

Cristina: Yeah. What's stopping us?

Jack: We suck.

Cristina: Just agree.

Jack: Obviously we suck. This is the clearest answer. Is capitalism is stopping us.

Cristina: Is it capitalism?

Jack: Maybe, I don't know, something stopping us. But the point is that there are things we could solve. There are problems that shouldn't be problems in the world that are problems at this moment. And like, that's our fault. And like, that goes back to the whole closets thing. Right? We got horrible things. Many, many people we consider heroes do horrible things. But. But in return, there must also be horrible people who are responsible for amazing things like that mobster. I forget his name. The one who's responsible for the tracking label on all products so that you know how long it takes before it disappears.

Cristina: Oh, wasn't it like a mobster or something?

Jack: He's Al Capone, I think. And he got people to go ahead and do that, and it became the norm because people can stop getting sick and you can protect your neighborhood, which is essentially the place point, you know?

Cristina: Yeah, I guess he's not that big of a monster. I mean, he was probably still killing people or getting people killed is the thing, right?

Jack: Yeah, but think of the super mega badass, right? Christopher Columbus. He kidnapped, raped, he bred and killed black women and Native Americans.

Cristina: Whoa. That's your average white guy back then.

Jack: Average white guy also. 100%. All of the United States wouldn't exist without him.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Oof. Like, yeah, give the man his respect. He did horrible s***, but you're here because of it. You know, that's a crazy point of view. People don't like. Oh, no. But no, it wouldn't have happened again. Somebody different, and it would have played out differently.

Cristina: Yes. And a lot of Native Americans are dead, thanks to the church.

Jack: Yeah. To Christianity. God hates Native Americans, apparently.

Cristina: I guess so.

Jack: And, like, that's the reality of matter. Right. So we have this man who. Polar opposite to all those heroes that just had dark s*** that people, on average, would ignore. For the person here, we have a series of bad things, of good things that are ignored because a person is bad.

Cristina: Well, they weren't. I mean, now they are shown. But, like, for a long time, we were all, like, ignoring all that bad stuff. He was just a hero, like all these other examples you gave.

Jack: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We're ignoring all the bad stuff.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: All his bad is ignored the way. Well, all of the above is ignored. Yes, the way. You know, because the. He's. I guess, yeah, he's considered a good guy, but he's like.

Cristina: More recently, he looks like a bad guy, but.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: It wasn't that long ago where he was the good guy.

Jack: Well, on the flip side, that's exactly what happens with Hitler.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Well, he might be responsible for World War II, but all the things World War II is responsible for.

Cristina: Whoa, what do you mean?

Jack: There's many things that World War II is responsible for. Innovations, technology, during.

Cristina: Oh, you're saying good things.

Jack: Yeah. And like. Yeah, it is what it is. He did things that led to better things. And, like, no one's gonna thank him.

Cristina: For that.

Jack: Nobody's gonna thank him for the work he put to change the world. I mean, think of it. The Jeep is a World War II invention.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yeah, that's an off road masterpiece.

Cristina: I guess. But that's not like. I mean, is there something better than that?

Jack: Better than a Jeep? Probably not.

Cristina: Probably not. That came from the World War II.

Jack: Oh, yeah. There's a billion trillion things that came from there. Pick out of a hat, whichever one you feel more comfortable with. Default. That's a better one.

Cristina: But you have other examples. I mean.

Jack: Yeah, like jet engine.

Cristina: That's pretty cool.

Jack: Yeah. It sounds absorbently complicated.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Yeah. And other things include like the microwave oven. That's also a World War II thing.

Cristina: Okay. But like they, we. They wouldn't have come up with those things like during that time without the war.

Jack: Doubt it. They waited until the very time that they were working under Hitler to do it. That doesn't check out.

Cristina: But they weren't already working on it. And it just so happens to be done by that time or something.

Jack: It could totally be. But also we know factually that Germany was really good about scooping up global different scientists to be able to accomplish a bunch of things, which makes it a bit unrealistic.

Cristina: And these things are all German things, though.

Jack: What do you mean all German things? Oh, yeah, I guess so. Like the electronic computer is also duct tape or the big one, which is penicillin.

Cristina: They said duct tape?

Jack: Yeah, that's just some of the things. There's like a million other things.

Cristina: Oh, but that all those things came from that country at that time. Or just we're just naming a bunch of things that happened during that time.

Jack: We're talking about things that happen in that country.

Cristina: Oh, okay. That's a lot of crap.

Jack: Yeah. The problem is they took the smartest Jews, not Jews, the smartest Nazis, put them together, and came up with this thing. Schrodinger's cat is the same idea. I believe it's also just a German experiment, but that's much more annoying to move around.

Cristina: What? Huh? The idea came from that time.

Jack: What?

Cristina: The Schrod. How do you say it? Schrodinger's cat came from that time.

Jack: Yeah. That's a concept that was invented then.

Cristina: Oh, that's cool.

Jack: Yeah, all that stuff, like so much happened at that point in time that led to amazing sciences of all sorts, amazing innovations and creations. Penicillin being the most overpowered of them all. The ability to kill a bug inside the body almost for certain.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: By taking a pill.

Cristina: No, we can live forever. No, not really. But way longer than before.

Jack: Always. Always the case.

Cristina: Yeah. But this helped a lot.

Jack: What helped World War II?

Cristina: The penicillin. Pelicillin.

Jack: Penicillin.

Cristina: Penicillin.

Jack: Yes, the penicillin did. Amazing. But the point is ultimately the same thing that, you know, we. I guess the idea is that we just tune out things that people are responsible for when the narrative doesn't fit. We can't say Hitler did it, but he's responsible for such good things. We gotta be like, he's always been evil and everything that came out of his existence is evil. And it's like your life would be garbage had he not murdered a bunch of people.

Cristina: So we just ignore things.

Jack: We ignore things in order to feel good about the fact that we consume things on the bodies of dead Jews. Like, that's the reality of the matter. We have a bunch of this crap, like a microwave that everybody uses every day.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That only exists because he killed a bunch of Jews. Gotta take one with the other.

Cristina: That's a lot to take in. That's a lot. I mean, we're here because of dead Indians and Native Americans, probably Chinese. There's a lot of dead people involved in.

Jack: I mean, now you're talking about something completely different. Right. We're talking about, at this point, the idea that we need these dead people. Without these dead people, it would have been possible. If we're talking, like, you know, Christopher Columbus, he's way important because the United States would only exist because of him. But also, he enslaved a bunch of people and, like, kidnapped people and raped and pillaged and whatever.

Cristina: But.

Jack: But here's. Here's the problem.

Cristina: What?

Jack: We're not thinking about the fact that these people kind of had to die in order for now to be now. The way now is now. Like, every. Everything that's ever happened led to now. That's a fact. Everything that's ever happened led to this moment. So we kind of needed the things that have taken place to take place in order for now to be the way it is.

Cristina: Who would now be better without those things?

Jack: Why was. That's. That's a question that doesn't even make any sense. Because we. We just. We're not in the alternate timeline in which that happened. We're just now.

Cristina: Yeah, we're just.

Jack: All we can confirm is, and those dead people died so that now can happen the way now is happening.

Cristina: Yes, but now we don't have to repeat what we saw or what we did.

Jack: Nobody's saying we're gonna Repeat it. Yeah, we're just saying it's very important that however many people died, like let's. Let's take a trip and wander and we get to Canada and we look into. We're just going through records and we find a building, and we check in the building and we find what? Just a. A bunch of dead children?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Well, guess what people those dead children made. Now, how somehow that improved Canada, or not improved Canada, but it led Canada to be what Canada is right now. So if you love Canada, you have to love those dead children for dying and how they died, because whoever suppressed it, whoever put them in there, let them die, whatever the case might be, then suppressed all the information. They benefited from this. And somehow you benefited from them benefiting from this.

Cristina: Yes. Like what we did with the mentally challenged. How would I say, you know, the people that were special, I guess, that we murdered off. Yeah, like all those people.

Jack: Yeah, all those people needed to die in order for us to then have better genes and then reproduce and then have less of that going on. It's kind of a necessity. Everything. Everything led to. Now. You gotta understand, it's not just that Martin Luther King loves gay sex orgies. It's not just that Hitler killed a bunch of Jews and thus the world became better somehow because technologies came from it. Not because he killed the Jews, but because technologies can't. I mean, out of context, somebody. Somebody's gonna take all these clips and from these clips they are going to make the most offensive. Out of context, they're gonna. I mean, man, they're gonna try to cancel us eventually. But here's the thing, we're uncancelable.

Cristina: Why?

Jack: Because we're the boss.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Yeah, we're not gonna fire ourselves.

Jack: Yeah, who's gonna show up and be like, hey, hey, you guys. You guys gotta go. We're firing you. You can't. You can't do this anymore. Like, bro, I own everything.

Cristina: But could, like, Spotify be like, we're not playing your stuff anymore, Apple or whatever?

Jack: I guess they could, but chances are they would just slap a warning on us or something because they're not hypocrites like that. Spotify and like Netflix. Irrational thinking companies that don't bend to the left.

Cristina: Okay, so.

Jack: So there's really nothing anybody could do. And like, to be honest, what would they be angry at? In fact. In fact, pay attention to article number one. This here is literally the letter that was sent about Dr. Martin Luther King. I will read it for you.

Cristina: Yes, please.

Jack: Now, it starts where we're addressing the homosexual part specifically. Everything's cut out just so you could see the basic thing. So an all night sex orgy was held with these prostitutes and some of the delegates in attendance. One room had a large table in it which was filled with whiskey. The two Negro prostitutes were paid $50 to put on a sex show for the entertainment of guests. A variety of sex acts deviating from the normal were observed. Previous sexual experiences. This activity is not new to King and his associates. As early as January 1964, King engaged in another two day drunken sex orgy in Washington D.C. many of those present engaged in sexual acts natural as well as unnatural for the entertainment of onlookers. When one of the females shied away from engaging in unnatural acts, King and others of the males present discuss. Of the males present discussed how she was to be taught and initiated in this respect. Throughout the ensuing years and until this date, King has continued to carry on his sexual aberrations secretly while holding himself out to public view as a moral leader of religious conviction. This is a pastor complaining about how anytime he's chilling with this other pastor who they're allegedly hanging out with to do pastor like things. Hey, we do pastor travels and talk about God and stuff. We go to our hotel and he just invites a bunch of b****** and we got a friend to. And then there's parties and alcohol and s*** and it's like, bro, we. There's alcohol, pastures, prostitutes and like gay going on.

Cristina: It doesn't mention gay.

Jack: Well, no, this is part of the letter.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: There are many parts of this letter. We can't get to all of it. He was just ranting consistently and complaining about all the ongoing.

Cristina: I don't understand, like he was close enough. He was close enough to know all the secret stuff. What?

Jack: It's not necessarily particularly secretive. It's just not in the public eye.

Cristina: Okay. So he let everyone.

Jack: Everyone is excessive. It's just he was not. He's not like, cover up master. I got a bunch of people burning documents and I go in a cloak into any room. Like, he's not doing any of that stuff successive. It's just like, yeah, whatever, my room is up there and like I'm in a part of the country that nobody really knows who I am by face, by name. So yeah, we could do whatever, you know, he's not going out of his way to like, well, I got to make sure that this signed some documents. If she talks, I can just sue her for everything she's worth for those 50 I gave her, or whatever, all.

Cristina: The initiation and whatever. Like, what did they want her to do that she was like, this isn't for me.

Jack: Blood orgies, obviously. Can you imagine? He's out here sacrificing m************.

Cristina: What? What? Like, it's something he describes as unnatural. He wanted her to do something she was definitely not comfortable with.

Jack: Maybe Martin Luther King was the first guy to have his a****** licked. And, like, he's like, yeah, I love when they do that. But it was. It was super uber gay. And maybe that's the true gayness he was referring to. The problem is there were other references to actual. Like, some tug in here, some suck in there. So, like, he was kind of going all in on it, but it had to be. Unless that's what he meant by a natural. It's like all the homosexual things are the unnatural part.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Because black and male, but still the.

Cristina: Gay girl not being comfortable with, like, she's a. She's a prostitute, probably, right? Like, or she a random girl. Because if she's a prostitute, what is gonna make her uncomfortable? If she. Doing it for the money, I guess she. So I guess licking his b*** would be pretty, like.

Jack: Yeah, licking. You gotta understand the pressures of licking are. Are really, really up there. It's new to her. She's. It's 1960s. She's only experience, essentially giving b******* or getting penetrated. That's it.

Cristina: Yeah. Trying to think of, like, what could be unnatural. That's pretty unnatural, I guess. What if they wanted her to get peed on?

Jack: That's pretty interesting. Were people into that in the 60s? It's possible.

Cristina: It's possible. They would probably consider that unnatural.

Jack: Getting peed on. It's too unnatural.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But, yeah, there's a plethora of things that could be unnatural.

Cristina: You have any more letters or just this one?

Jack: Just this one. To show you some proof of concept right here.

Cristina: That's great.

Jack: Yeah. Dr. Martin Luther King was a unique individual. Now, here's the thing. There were letters sent between many, many people, including Gandhi, to Hitler. And Gandhi sent Hitler some letters, talking to him and referring to him as friend and brother. Now, Gandhi was also exceptionally kind of a person. So he commonly used language like that. You know, it was very normal.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Like, to anyone, he would say that.

Jack: Yeah, exactly.

Cristina: The people he thought was below him.

Jack: Everybody. Everybody. Because he was very kind, even if he wasn't.

Cristina: Okay. Did he have a problem with what Hitler was doing? Or he's like, yeah, you do you. As long as we're equals.

Jack: I. I don't know where he stood on what Hitler was doing.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: I'm not entirely sure on that. I know he didn't have. Seem to have a particular problem with Hitler, but he definitely didn't like. Yeah, he didn't have an issue with Hitler as far as the letters go, or he was just being absorbently pleasant. But it doesn't tell us whether he was bothered or not by the things that were happening.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Like, I don't know what he thought about Jews. That's an interesting question. Was Gandhi a white supremacist? Not even white supremacist. Was he a N***? An Indian N***? He was totally racist.

Cristina: He was. So it's possible. Yes.

Jack: But was he racist towards Jews? It kind of seemed like he just didn't like black people, primarily.

Cristina: What?

Jack: That was like, his main I don't want them around us problem, you know?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Hitler. Really, really, really, really not Hitler. Golly.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Really, really didn't like black people. That was his, like, shtick.

Cristina: How much black people were in his area?

Jack: All of them.

Cristina: All of them. Where's he from?

Jack: India.

Cristina: India. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. Gandhi also had many partners. Man.

Cristina: Partners.

Jack: Yeah, a bunch of women.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: Oftentimes teenage girls.

Cristina: Besides little girls that were sleeping in his bed.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: He had. Wait, he was sleeping with them?

Jack: Well, here's the thing, and this is what I'm not clear about because.

Cristina: Because I thought he was having sex. Right. Yeah.

Jack: I'm not clear as to whether he. Because in a lot of the research and a lot of the data, it says he was a sex addict. But in a lot of the data, it also says he was very celibate. It's possible one of these came first and the other one second. And I think being a hoe came first. And then he hoed around a lot, and then he was finally like, no, hoeing is bad. And I'm gonna unho. But I'm gonna unho with tiny little girls next to me.

Cristina: I don't know. It could be the opposite as well.

Jack: Because, like, I love being celibate because sex is for noobs. Anybody who gets rid of their ejaculate has inferior energy and will age quicker. Some crap like that he really believed.

Cristina: Exactly.

Jack: But eventually he's like, but them tight tea that. Them tight tween vajayjays is nothing like them.

Cristina: Also, was he seen, like, a celebrity or something?

Jack: He was a. Like a peace preacher, philosophy God person.

Cristina: There was girls throwing themselves. Well, not girls, ladies, hopefully throwing themselves at him.

Jack: I Had a whole conversation about this recently. About how, like, it's not just weird that people. Hey, baby. But like, where that comes from and like the era where this was just common is also like a man and his girl.

Cristina: Still probably common.

Jack: It's pretty common. I'm just saying where it originated from. And like, we all know really what it's hinting at. You know, it's the same thing about, like a teenage girl, knee high socks and, you know, we just had this conversation. The fact that, like, why. Why do guys want skinny, scrawny, teeny weeny, teenage, like, not sometimes teenagers. I guess it's the innocence thing, right? They want innocence. People want to corrupt innocence. I don't know what. Okay, In a similar fashion. In a similar fashion. I. I have a theory. I have a theory and I'll connect. Let's. Let's ground the pedo thing, right? Ground the pedo thing right now. Right now, before we get out of here. Okay, this is my theory. This is my theory on how it's happening. Right, baby? Man and his girl. You know, the things are there. All the parts are there. Okay. All the parts are there. All the parts are there. The opinion of it, there's fantasies guys have of lie. You find this in p*** a lot, actually. Women choking, right? Like, like gagging on d***. Oh, you know, like you've heard it before. The 9,000.

Cristina: Is that what that is? I don't know.

Jack: Just. Just women gagging on d***, essentially. That's a whole thing. Makeup running down her face and the whole nine yards. Right.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And there's. There's a whole, like, thing about liking petite females. You know, tiny little ladies. Yeah, Tiny curvy ladies, Short women. We like being larger than our women.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Right.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And this all goes along with one real basic fantasy the guys have.

Cristina: What's that?

Jack: Them having bigger dicks. Oh, the younger you are, the more likely you're smaller. The bigger your hands or your mouth or your. The bigger the d*** looks like in comparison to your hands, your mouth, any of your holes. So if a tiny hand grabs a d***, my d*** looks bigger. I'm better. If a tiny mouth wraps around my d***. Oh, my d*** is so big. I'm feeling that whole mouth out.

Cristina: That's all it is.

Jack: You see, you see how it kind of lines up?

Cristina: He wants that big d*** energy.

Jack: Big d*** energy. Guys want big d*** energy. Guys love the concept of them having a larger d***. This comes with all the insecurity. But this basically means any guy who's into any of this in the background of their mind is really just dealing. Because you never hear of like a black guy with a gagging fantasy. No, cuz are just gagging on a furreal, bro. It ain't a fantasy, it's a reality. And it's probably annoying. It's probably like handle it, you know? I got a fantasy of you having actual good gag reflexes. To what? While people who don't have that in reality, it's just like, oh, I wish it. But you need tinier things for it to be more possible.

Cristina: So you need younger.

Jack: Well, younger is just the shortcut because you could just find tinier. Yeah, but you're assured tinier with younger. And a lot of the time I don't even think it's about the younger per se. A lot of guys just find themselves a really tiny lady.

Cristina: It helps if younger because, like, they're not experienced. They wouldn't know.

Jack: Yes. Because you're also like sex God. Like, there's a bunch of s*** going on here. There's many parts. Right?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: If they're inexperienced and anything you do is like, wow, you're so good at sex.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah.

Jack: And like they have no reference point for your d***. So wow, your d*** is so big.

Cristina: And if they're disappointed, they can't be.

Jack: It's compared to what? Yeah, you see, it's this whole I'm the s***.

Cristina: Yes, but really, you're cheating.

Jack: You're cheating. Go find yourself an experienced cougar and tell me you have the same level of confidence.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: An experienced cougar. That's your height.

Cristina: That's an amazing challenge.

Jack: Yeah, right. Like now you suddenly come across a problem where, like, you're no longer just by default, a huge d***. You no longer by default, just highly experienced. Like, that's my. That's my real theory. That's like coug struggle more. That's the fantasy of men wanting younger women. It's because you're God by comparison. You will blow her mind if you're her first o*****. If you're taking her virginity, she. You've ruined your life now. She's always gonna want you.

Cristina: Oh, that's messed up.

Jack: Because you're the best she's ever had. Also, like, you're cheating. You're the only she's ever had.

Cristina: Or you're the first, which also brings some type of specialness to it.

Jack: Yes, it's interesting. Yeah, it's all. It's all. It's a bunch of cheating bullshit. It's PC gamer, Call of Duty. It's like you're not actually good. Not really. And like sometimes you come across actually good people and you think they're literally cheating because you actually are cheating and still getting smacked down. That's the white guy who got the tiny little teenage girl and then thought I'm the s***. But comes across a black guy who got super experienced, super old, like hot chick and equals maybe taller than him or some s***. And it's like, I mean, think about it, just think about it. Black guy's got no problem just dating an overweight white girl that's taller than there. Why? Why is it just normal? It's like cuz we got the confidence that I'm still gonna f****** d*** this b**** down and she's gonna come back tomorrow thinking like that was the greatest s*** ever. Doesn't matter how many m************ she f*****, she's coming back here. Go ahead, try it, white boy.

Cristina: Oh, I think you figured out this.

Jack: Is my theory and I think it makes f****** sense.

Cristina: I think you make it. You made it make sense. Yeah. Whoa, Then what's Gandhi doing?

Jack: He's little d*** guy.

Cristina: Yeah, I guess. Yeah, that makes sense.

Jack: Gandhi was like a tiny, skinny Indian dude, right? Yeah, he was playing right into that stereotype. Yeah, but this isn't even racial. This is just a universal fact of being male at this point. Yeah, just guys want to feel better than they are and so we gotta f*** the tiny little girls, bro. It's the only way.

Cristina: But you think Dr. Martin Luther King was like that?

Jack: No, I think Gandhi was like that. Martin Luther King was a black guy. He probably had man ham. He had some severe man ham man him. He had the best man. Him. There's one more bit of proof and then we could get the h*** out of here. One is when it comes to prostitutes, not you talking about Dr. Martin Luther King. He's out here buying prostitutes, right? Yeah, but he's buying prostitutes for this event. Usually. Who is a pimp? It's a black guy. Black guy doesn't need to be impressed. He doesn't need the woman to come and be like, oh daddy, you're so big and daddy, you're so handsome. And this shouldn't that. She's like, b****** make me money. Okay, who's he selling it to? The guy who's like, oh, let me talk dirty to you. And oh, tell me I got the biggest d*** and all this. And who? That's the f****** white guy, bro. That's the white guy who rolled up and so f****** like, oh, that's that One right there.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: She can do whatever I want. She can tell me whatever I want to hear. Sad little white guys. Sad little white guys. This is. I'm roving and just playing a violin. What you're seeing right now.

Cristina: Oh, I thought you were playing with his tiny p****.

Jack: No, I'm putting the tiniest little violin for his tiny little p****. Playing the tiniest violin for his sad little pee pee. Yeah, I think. I think I found it.

Cristina: Yep. And I think I learned something about history and men.

Jack: Yeah. I mean, lessons in life. That's what this show's about. This show's about learning about getting educated, about walking away with a better understanding of everything. And a lot of the times everything includes the shadow realm and weird s*** like that, because everything is everything. That didn't happen now. I just felt like telling you guys and reminding yourself that everything comes back to the shadow realm and adrenochrome. And I'm sure that that's probably what the. The weird unnatural was. Maybe this guy was out here raising demons or some bro. He's like, she. He's asking her to do a natural sex accent. It's sex accident. Raising. It's. It had to be blood. It was blood. Sex acts. And she was scared and that was part of the thing.

Cristina: I don't know. I don't know.

Jack: Her being scared was important though.

Cristina: Him.

Jack: Power. That's how he became who he was.

Cristina: That's crazy.

Jack: No chrome he got from these unnatural sex acts that created mad blood and her fear. It was all the adrenaline.

Cristina: Yeah, the adrenaline.

Jack: And then he does the sex thing and then there's blood everywhere. Dr. Martin Luther King was the Satanist. We all know this anyways, of course. Point being, look, you guys want to learn more things about how the world works, about the facts of the universe, well then follow us on Twitter, on Instagram, on Facebook, social media stuff and you'll be notified. Presumably, you know, and all that's at just Combo pod.

Cristina: Yes. Remember to subscribe. We're gonna review the show.

Jack: Yes, mainly the reviews. You know, you gotta let. I guess the algorithms know what you think about the episodes and the show and stuff. And you just put, you know, give us some stars and be like, yo, I like it because this stuff, or I don't like it because of that stuff. You know, that's how the world works. You let people know. You let the.

Cristina: The algorithms know with emojis as well.

Jack: Yes.

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

Jack: Yes. Tell your friends that we have revealed how all Your heroes are crooks and most of them are totally h***.

Cristina: This has been the Rambling podcast. Take nothing personal and thanks for listening. Bye. They. They were helping. Not trying to hurt him, not trying.

Jack: To sabotage him or benefit for anybody outside the wall to with us. They own everything here. It's all equal to them.

Cristina: So they just wanted to help him?

Jack: Well, no. He just asked for help. They're not loyal to. They own all of the above.

Cristina: Do you have any idea if they were helping him? They were.

Jack: They were, but it wasn't there. Yeah, they didn't care in either direction.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: They would help whoever came to ask for help because they don't care.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: It just so happened to be that he was the one who asked.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Through Lyndon Johnson. Which is funny because when you think about the fact that Penguins Day and Martin Luther King's Day are so closely related, are so closely like they're happening so close together, but they're also so closely related because Martin Luther King needed to talk to Lyndon Johnson. Lyndon Johnson then needed to cross the border through the penguins. Probably get a message to have a penguin escort him.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: To deeper in to then where he could get some sort of fairy probably carried by the penguins. Or get to an airfield where these penguins would then get to the planes. It's gonna fly them to the leaders that would then allow him to bring up his case, ask for the help that Martin Luther King asked for, and then come back with a response back through the Arctic, interacting with the penguins again and then making them back in. It's fascinating.

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by Great Thoughts.info art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth McAllister with social media managed by Amber Black.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

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

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And this is the show where we ground humanity's most absurdity, baffling ideas.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: Yeah, that pause was monumental. So let's recap. Halloween's coming up, so we've been doing some weird. We've been.

Cristina: Yeah, some weird stories.

Jack: We've been digging. We've been digging deep. Deep in the. In the. In the digs.

Cristina: In the digs.

Jack: We. We've been digging deep in the digs.

Cristina: What's that supposed to mean?

Jack: We've been digging.

Cristina: We've been digging.

Jack: We've been digging holes. Yes, like the movie holes.

Cristina: Like the movie holes, except this one has the demons in it.

Jack: It built a character.

Cristina: What, this hole that we found has demons in it?

Jack: Well, we did. Yeah, we did find the hole with demons, but. Okay, so, yeah, there is a hole in some country, Russia or some s***. Like the border of Russia. I don't remember the story of Russian. Something and evil is in the hole. Allegedly. We don't really know.

Cristina: It's the Pepsi Cola.

Jack: Yeah, the Pepsi Cola wormhole. Yes, the Pepsi Cola wormhole is a scary place, but so is the Bio Ventura.

Cristina: The real life resident Evil lab.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah, the Umbrella Corp.

Cristina: Umbrella Corp.

Jack: So, yeah, we. Look, the first story was just looking for some weird thing that happened in real life. The second story that we found was trying to type in exactly the same circumstances that would, in theory, describe the first story. But we just found the flip of it. Right. Originally we were like, what's a real scare? Not scary, but like, what's a real.

Cristina: Weird event that scientists can't explain? Or I guess they might have explained, but we'll never know their explanation.

Jack: Exactly. There wasn't a way to really tell.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But I'm like, okay, what's a real event that has some. Some spooky connotations to it? And then we found the. The. The lab thing, right. It's trying to replicate the whole thing. The whole thing was just. Hey, what's weird? What was it? It was. We. What's some. A scientific thing that has no explanation?

Cristina: Okay. Yes.

Jack: And I was like, okay, but that was by accident. I just. What's something scary we could look up and I found some science related. What was it? No, what's the scary science thing?

Cristina: Something scary that science can explain.

Jack: Yes. Well, I was just looking for something scary and I found Something sciency. I was just looking for something grounded, something that, you know, what's tangible. What do we have evidence for? And so we found the science experiment that was weird. And so then we looked into it or typed in the right. The same combination to try to find something else after we found that story. And instead, what we found was something unexplainable. They happened to be with scientists. Yes, but this one had, like, an alien or ghost vibe to it.

Cristina: Mm. And they weren't doing any research on the thing. I mean, their research was kind of like a normal human research of, like. What's that sound? Let me check it out.

Jack: Yeah, well, there wasn't research. It was more like investigating.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now we do this, get conclusions, blah, blah, blah. So I'm like, all right, we got to do this again because, you know, now we're by accident, consistent. And it's October. Let's do it. So October. And I got one more. One more chance before Halloween to be spooky.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And I started digging.

Cristina: Spooky.

Jack: Well, I start digging, and I can't find anything related. It's sort of the same situation again because I type, okay, like, this time, we have a bunch of police reports and stuff. And I'm like, oh, that's. You know, that's kind of cool. That's pretty dope, because they weren't police reports for the first thing. There was just a bunch of people abandon the s***. And then the second one actually had police reports. That's kind of cool.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So I'm like, is there something else that, like, there's actual police reports for that's creepy and unexplainable? And I go digging and digging and digging, and I actually do find something quite interesting. The question is, is it spooky? So this is potentially hit and miss, but we're gonna find out.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Okay, so let's dive into the story of Jackie. Jackie is a little girl.

Cristina: How little? Or I guess how young?

Jack: Very.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: She's from Oklahoma. She's like eight or nine.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: She's from Oklahoma. And Jackie has an imaginary friend.

Cristina: That's, like, the first thing I was thinking.

Jack: I said little girl, and you just thought, imaginary friend.

Cristina: Yeah. Okay, continue.

Jack: It's just. Okay, based on me saying imaginary friend, what do you think is gonna happen?

Cristina: I don't know. Because, like, she talks to the friend, and the friend tells her to. I don't know. It's always like, some kind of, like, evil ghost thing. But we'll see.

Jack: We'll see. Okay, so Jackie's Grandmother Stephanie stated that she often spent time playing with her imaginary friend and her dolls.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: Basic little girl s***.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Imaginary friends, dolls checks out.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So when asked to describe her imaginary friend, she claimed it was an older man named Hank.

Cristina: Always. Why is it always some creepy dude? What is with these creepy dudes hanging out with little kids? Imaginary creepy dudes. It's always a dude ghost. I never hear about a woman ghost hanging out with kids.

Jack: I don't know either. But also, pedos are, like, a thing and quite. This is what. This is the kind of s*** that makes you be like, well, it's probably real. Like, it checks out according to, like, the percentage of creeps that are out there. Yeah. So anyways, Jackie would tell her parents about, like, stories of the. The. Of Hank. Hank would tell Jackie stories, and Jackie would excitedly tell her parents stories. So she would tell. He would tell her about, like, how he used to work at a lighthouse.

Cristina: That's cool.

Jack: He used to work on a lighthouse off the coast of England. Jackie's from Oklahoma, so it's interesting that there's this random guy, and so she, you know, he tells her about his life and. Because his imaginary friend. Right. So he tells about his life, his hobbies, just things. Stuff.

Cristina: Nothing weird that he's telling her, or at least not yet.

Jack: No. Yeah, I suppose so. As a little girl playing with her dolls, I find it strange that it's not just weird that he's a grown man. That's weird. But it's weirder that he's a grown man playing with dolls that's already kind.

Cristina: Of like, okay, he's playing with her. Like, she. It's her playing with dolls with him. You're saying, like, they're playing together?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: With the dolls?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay. Okay. I didn't know that. Okay.

Jack: That's weird. It's not that she's playing with him and playing with her dolls. She's playing with him and her dolls.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Simultaneously, he's a grown imaginary friend who likes to play with dolls, and he's a dude. An older dude.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Kind of weird. Checks out the whole, you know, I'm grooming your child to do things to it, kind of. But it's imaginary, so what the h*** can anybody do? There's not a problem there. Just a crazy little girl or a normal little girl with imaginary friends.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So one day, Hank approaches Jackie screaming and crying and saying he'd seen something horrible happen. What? Imaginary stuff, you know?

Cristina: Yeah. Okay. Okay.

Jack: So he says he saw somebody fall and get hurt outside Simple.

Cristina: Well, she checks it out.

Jack: Well, she doesn't check it out. She tells her mother and her father and although they didn't believe her, so she, she, they, you know, in order to humor her, they check it out. They go check it out and what they find is an actual kid had broken his leg outside somewhere. Yeah, it was like a block away.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: She probably heard it or something. You know, typical. She was probably because she was playing outside moments before. She wasn't down the block, but maybe she saw something.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And she tells her parents or whatever. M and I think actually she was in her backyard and this happened a block away, but she probably heard it happen. And you know, as an intelligent child, quick fact. Children with high IQs tend to be the ones who have imaginary friends.

Cristina: Really.

Jack: It is their mind processing information highly, like very fast and it has to compose and composite things. And a lot of the time it superimposes imagery that allows them to process. And if the child is thinking at an extremely adult level, they might manifest an adult that can think for them in that instant psychology fact. Anyways, this child must have heard the kid fall and start crying.

Cristina: Okay, so nothing weird yet.

Jack: Nothing weird to come in from the backyard and tell her parents. And then her parents then went to investigate and found the kid. They're aware that her child is highly intelligent. They've been told things to expect of her child and also to not worry about the imaginary friend because of this very circumstance. Highly normal. It is an extremely intelligent child. Okay, so this is kind of expected. And a child with high intellect is also a child with high intuition. You can have very small pieces of information and piece together quite vivid images that are accurate.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Her predictability. Not her predictability, but her ability to predict. Astounding. Because of high intellect, imaginary friend because of high intellect and intuition. Because of high intellect, the kid is essentially psychic. Because of high intellect, she could hear something and piece it together, basically what happened here. So obviously her parents thought nothing of it.

Cristina: Okay. Yeah, I guess there's nothing suspicious there.

Jack: No, nothing at all. Why do you keep saying yet this what you keep saying yet?

Cristina: Cuz something's gonna happen.

Jack: Do you believe something's gonna happen?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Okay. Anyways, so. So the child's parents were contacted, the situation was dealt with, blah, blah, blah. And again her parents just brushed it off as something expected something normal. And sometime later, Hank began acting strange again, but in a weirder way. You know, he started think of like nurses from Silent Hill. How they kind of like twitchy and, like, real uncomfortable looking.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So, yeah, doing that and like, screeching and like, at random, he would do this. Almost like he was glitching. But this. This is her describing this to her parents. She wouldn't use the word glitching, but, you know, she would try to explain the motions and how he would just start screaming crap. And then he'd just go back to normal.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And like, it never happened.

Cristina: Like, she tried to get an answer from him and he couldn't explain it.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Like, he would. Like it never happened to him. Like. Oh, I don't. I don't know what you're talking about.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah. Again, imaginary friend. So whatever weird things are gonna happen. But as a result of this, she began to have a lot of night terrors, consistently night after night after night after night after telling her parents about this. So it became really consistent that she would have these. And she had to go into a child therapist. She started seeing a child therapist consistently because of this. It was becoming intrusive. She would not sleep any night. All the nights were interrupted. All the nights, all the nights. All the nights, all the time.

Cristina: Because she was dreaming about or having nightmares about Frank.

Jack: Yeah, just these weird motions. Screaming. Some of the dreams that she described just kind of looked like a horror scene is basically all black and just him there, nothing else. And him, like, twitching in that manner and screaming in that manner with nothing else but him being the focal point.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. It's kind of horrible because it's unclear whether she. She placed herself in the world of the dreams that she was having. Like, she was physically there or she was just watching nothing but him. Like, is she seeing herself third person, or is she seeing first person so all she sees is him? That was unclear, but it was described as essentially a dark void with nothing but his presence. How she saw him. That made her scared.

Cristina: Yeah. Were they trying to now, like, get her to stop having an imaginary friend? Is that even possible?

Jack: Yes. They tried medication in small doses because she was a child and that wasn't really working. But they immediately stopped that because of. It was kind of numbing her out, but she would still have all the problems. So you'd like drugging your child and not even solving the problem, which is a huge issue I have with giving children medication. Anyways. Your kid has adhd. Maybe that's just your child has a lot of energy and maybe. Don't drug your child.

Cristina: Don't punish your child for energy.

Jack: Don't punish your child for Being a child.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Oh, my child can't focus. Well, they're f****** kid, you know. But yeah. So consistently her parents would chalk it off to emotional stress. The therapist explained that this stuff is expected. You know, her mind has to process even the darker things of life, and as she gets older, she's going to understand those things more. But maybe not consciously, maybe this is all happening subconsciously and manifesting as these twisted images that she's getting from Hank.

Cristina: Okay, so everything's normal so far.

Jack: It's normal. It's very on brand for a intelligent child. Minus the now. This is. According to the doctors, it's totally fine. But what's weird for Jackie particularly is that she's consistently trying to explain. He's always more aggressive than he was before. So the twitching is more vicious, the screaming is more vicious, and he's more confrontational. Consistent. Like he's more aggressive in his words, have a stronger tone and he sounds like he's talking down to her more frequently. That kind of stuff.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But. But again, totally normal, according to the doctors, really.

Cristina: What.

Jack: What would be abnormal about an imaginary friend being weird? Unless you're thinking something horrible, which you are.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: It wouldn't be strange.

Cristina: It's gotta still be weird for the parents. Even if they're being told it's normal, it's still weird.

Jack: Why would it be weird? As opposed to, oh, our kid.

Cristina: But their kids having nightmares and it's. She's telling you her imaginary friends going wild again.

Jack: Just because you're expecting something odd to happen is that you're in the state of mind. Think about how often a little kid leaves his bed and goes and jumps in bed with their parents. And you're like, oh, how cute. But that kid had a nightmare. Some kids do that every night. That's not weird. You're just expecting something weird to happen. So you see it weird. But it's extremely. It's the most common thing.

Cristina: Nightmares, though, if she's saying that she's.

Jack: Experiencing this, well, it's an imaginary friend, which is also incredibly common. It's like a kid saying there's a monster under the bed every night. Again, you're expecting something weird, so you're seeing it as something weird. But what part of this have you never heard before? All of it is extremely common. Kids see crazy s***, though. There's monster, daddy, there's a monster under my bed. And that. That every night has to come and be like, there's not a monster under the bed. No, I saw it. Okay, I'll look under. Or it's in the closet. I'll in the closet. This is normal. This is all normal. You're expecting spooky, so you're thinking about it as weird. Why? Well, it's so weird that she. It's totally normal. There's actually nothing strange about this, about imaginary friends.

Cristina: That glitch out. That's totally normal.

Jack: You gotta understand that none of what's being described is weird in the context that a child's mind is making it up. So I'm using the word glitching out.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: I could say spasming. Regardless of which word I use, the descriptions of the child are childlike and what. The events that are happening are extremely normal, as explained by therapists who experience it all the time.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Professionals who experience this all the time are saying, this is normal. This is absolutely normal.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Which means it's so common.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: That they're not like, your child's f***** up.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Do you see?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You're expecting something weird, so you're seeing it weird because you're looking for it. But the people who are trained to spot how normal it is are like, well, this on paper is some s*** I've seen a thousand times.

Cristina: Okay. I have not seen this a thousand times, but okay.

Jack: Yeah. But you're expecting to see something weird, so you're already looking for it. You're like, which part of this is the one that I'm supposed to pay attention to? Don't worry about it.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: The doctor said it's fine. You just follow the expert.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Not the little girl. You focus in too hard on little girl's opinions. Little girl. Why are you putting trust in her? Even her parents are like, f*** this child. She's just a f****** kid.

Cristina: That's awful. I don't know.

Jack: But, like, in most cases, what you gonna do? Humor your child's crazy s***? And then they turn out to be a real nutcase because you made them think this is absolute. Absolutely. Okay. Instead of going out of it. That is where you see you'd messed up your child in this instant. Because you're like, well, this is so weird. My child. Oh, my God. But no, it's not. It's totally normal. It's absolutely normal. It's absolutely normal. Until 8-16-20. I mean, 2001.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: In August 16, 2001, it stopped being normal.

Cristina: How so?

Jack: Well, Jackie calls Stephanie, which is her grandma, claiming Hank said he would hurt her parents.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Now it stopped being normal. Now, if she were to tell the doctor that the doctor would Be like, now we've got a problem. Up until that point, it was totally normal. You were looking for it. Now you got some s*** that is like, is this kid gonna f****** hurt her parents?

Cristina: Is she?

Jack: Well, I don't know. What do you think? So, okay, Stephanie asked to speak to Jackie's parents, and they were fine, obviously, because this f****** kid's crazy, okay? And also, it's a f****** nine year old. Like, what the h*** are you gonna do to hurt your parents if they're paying attention, you gotta catch them while they're sleeping or something if you're crazy like that.

Cristina: Is that what she does? No. Continue the story. Yes. Okay. Okay. So they talked. She talks to the parents. Parents are fine.

Jack: Yes, they're. The parents are perfectly fine. And, you know, nothing. Nothing out of the ordinary. It's just like your kids spazzing out of the nightmares of guy weariness or whatever. She just needs to escape the situation. So Stephanie has to have Jackie for the night, you know, to ease the parents worry. To ease Jackie's worries. And interestingly enough, Jackie said that anytime she was with her grandma, Hank wasn't there. Hank tends to be at home. At her. At Jackie's home, not at her grandma's house.

Cristina: Okay. Because if this was a ghost story, he's just haunting the house she's living in.

Jack: Yeah, yeah. If this is a ghost story, it's haunting the house is living in. And so Jackie goes and stays with her granny at her granny's house, you know?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: So the next morning, it gets weirder.

Cristina: I don't know what happens.

Jack: The next morning, the police knock on Stephanie's door.

Cristina: Okay, about the parents.

Jack: Right, about the parents. So, okay, this is what happens. The parents car is found parked on the highway, but the parents aren't there. And they did a search to find who the car belongs to, but the parents were also not home. But the car was there. Didn't look like anything weird happened. It kind of looked like they pulled.

Cristina: Up, they just abandoned their car, parked.

Jack: And just abandoned the car. Now the car's abandoned, but they find out that, you know, it belongs to the parents or whatever.

Cristina: How long was it abandoned for? Like, when did someone realize that it was, like, suspicious, or the next morning. Next morning. Oh, okay. And it took them that quickly to, like, look it up of, okay, the parents live there. And then the grandpa, like, did they contact a bunch of people?

Jack: Probably not the next morning. That was just a couple of hours. The girl just stayed overnight.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Which means the car was just parked on the Highway.

Cristina: And then they went to the grandma to look for the parents.

Jack: Well, not really. They probably went to the parent looking for the parents at the parents house. They probably ran the plates and they're like, somebody just parked out here.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Chances are that car had a ticket.

Cristina: On it and stolen or something.

Jack: That was probably the initial realization. But the car was just parked there. There was no broken windows or anything. And so they didn't find the parents at the place. But you know, looking for contacts and whatever, they end up finding the grandma. And they're like, okay, yeah, weird, but whatever. And the car is just there. So at this point, the grandma. Stephanie and Jackie have not heard from the parents since the previous night. So they don't actually know why they would park and abandon the car. They just know that they parked and abandoned the car. But they did in fact confirm, yes, that is the car.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Very important. Which was the goal of the police being like, does this belong to whoever?

Cristina: Yeah. And they found out. Yes.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the car gets. Because it's on the highway, and the car. They're told that the car's been towed. The car. This is important for you to like, get in contact with these people and tell them. And they. They're like, yeah, whatever.

Cristina: They like, yeah, whatever. Yeah.

Jack: Like, they're gonna go and she's gonna contact them. Eventually she gets in contact with them. She's gonna be like, hey, your car.

Cristina: How long does it take for people to feel like, okay, maybe they're missing or something?

Jack: Or that's like a day, like a week.

Cristina: But she's not worried.

Jack: I mean, the car was just found parked on the highway, so she's very worried. It doesn't. Nothing told us she's worried. But I Like, we can reasonably assume you find a parked car on the highway unless she's dead on the inside. She's probably like, well, that's strange. I should probably be worried. It'd be crazy if the cops knock on the door in the morning and they're like, hey, this car was probably here overnight, but. And also, we didn't find the people in the car. Does this car belong to somebody who you know? Yeah, it's a car of my daughter. Okay. Yeah, it was abandoned.

Cristina: Nothing suspicious about the car.

Jack: It was abandoned in the highway. And besides that, Stephanie is like, oh, that's cool. And then the cops leave, and then she never again gives it a second thought. She's just like, what is. Stupid parents my granddaughter has that they would just park on the highway and walk away don't they know that's what parkings are made for? Not the emergency lane. You know, she's over here cooking, like, stupid child of mine. I taught them how to park. Why are they stopping on the highway? No, of course she's like, what the.

Cristina: F*** do you know which one is her child?

Jack: Her child is the girl.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: The. The mother.

Cristina: Mother. So she tries to contact her.

Jack: The mother of the daughter. Cc. Yeah, she tries to contact her. That does not work out. This is 2001. Presumably one of them had a cell phone. Probably not. It was probably house phone. And see, here's the problem. This is also why it's, like, less concerning, because there's no. There's not like, any. You can't immediately get in contact with anybody.

Cristina: Yeah. So it's going to be a while for her to be like, this is really dangerous. Or not dangerous, suspicious.

Jack: Like something horrible. No, it's already. Again, there's a car parked on the emergency lane in the highway, and there's nobody in the car. And we cannot seem to find the people whose car it is at home. Have you seen them? Nah, nah, it's already suspicious.

Cristina: Do they know, like, maybe the car. There was something wrong with the car, like it couldn't drive.

Jack: They don't. Which is actually an assumption that was made. Perhaps the cut. That's why they went to the house to find out.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Perhaps there was something wrong with the car that prevented the car from moving. They didn't have the car keys, so there was no way to just turn on the car and drive it away. The car was towed.

Cristina: Interesting.

Jack: Yes. But I'm assuming after the car was towed is when it's like, okay, we gotta contact the people whose car it is to then get them to come and get the car. But, oh, we can't find them.

Cristina: We can't find them.

Jack: So we need to do everything in our power to find them. Because we need our money.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: We gonna get gangster on these mofos. They better give us our guap.

Cristina: That's all they care about.

Jack: Care about. So they show up to the house, and the pope was like, there's nobody here. They probably knock the door down, get, boom, search the house for the money or whatever. Or whatever cops do, you know?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And then they dip. Find the money, and they're like, they're hiding. They don't want to pay. We're gonna find them by any means necessary.

Cristina: So they go to the grandma for the money.

Jack: So they go to the grandma, they beat that door down. Too. And they strong armed grandma. It's like, we know you're hiding them. We know. She's like, I've not seen them. You're lying. They tortured her for weeks trying to find out. You will tell us. They waterboarded her every night.

Cristina: But, like, when they dropped her off, the grandma didn't think anything weird was going on. Like, the parents seemed perfectly fine.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, the parents didn't seem. I mean, none of these reports tell me that, but like, the fact that nothing was mentioned. Mm, probably it was just like a normal day.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Like their behavior wasn't strange enough that she would say, oh, they were being weird beforehand.

Cristina: Yeah, there's something going on. But okay, yeah, like, clearly I thought.

Jack: Something would happen because they were being so strange. No, that never happened. They were perfectly fine. Fine. But it got weird because although they didn't get in contact with them the first couple of hours, questions start to rise after the first day and they're still not around. And then the second day and they're still not around.

Cristina: Has the grandma told anyone about what the daughter had said?

Jack: No, she. The grandma actually completely forgot that the daughter even said this. It's totally escaped her that the reason this little girl was staying at her house in the first place is because she. Because you gotta understand, this girl has been complaining about this for a long time. So anything and everything that she says relative to Hank, it just goes tuned out to some degree.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because, you know, they've dealt with it for a while.

Cristina: Yeah. And how's the girl behaving during this time while her parents are missing?

Jack: She doesn't know that her parents are missing.

Cristina: Oh, she doesn't.

Jack: She's not told a single thing. Why would you just freak this girl out? Especially if you're just gonna fight. What if you just find her parents and they're perfectly fine? They were just out there f****** somewhere. They went to a hotel. The f***? And you're gonna be like, oh, my God, your parents are missing? No, just, you know, she's protecting a little girl. The girl doesn't know anything, but. So it was totally forgotten. But eventually, after the second day, without hearing from the parents, the police determine, you know, this is. This is. Okay, now this is problematic. This is a missing person's case at this point.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: Yeah. So they're like, okay, we definitely need to organize a search party. We know where the car was. Let's start sending people out. It's, you know, if they have been kidnapped or if they're hurt, we Gotta get to them before like it's a wrap. So they send the search party and you know, as things go, they were searching the forest around the highway that the car was found.

Cristina: There's a forest around the highway.

Jack: Well, most highways cut through a forest.

Cristina: Oh that's. That sucks. But like the search sucks because it's gonna be hard to find them if they are in there.

Jack: I mean anytime somebody is missing around the highway, there's. You gotta search the forest next to the highway. That's never not been the case.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And like I think the point of a highway is that it cuts through the forest so that you can get to the next location. So I think every highway, unless you live in California through a forest. It's through a forest. Yeah. There might be nothing more normal.

Cristina: Yes. It just sucks as just like to search through though.

Jack: But no, because if this is the case and every highway is surrounded by a forest, you've already trained in searching every forest or not every forest, but you trained in searching through a forest. It's probably easier than searching through a city where there's alleys and buildings with multiple floors that somebody could be missing in.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You just got complicated one dimension to look. It's a plane. You just walk through the plane. And that's why it's way easier. You know, it's the whole shallow grave scenario. It's like what's in the woods. It's kind of easy to stumble upon.

Cristina: You probably have search dogs too. That makes it even more easier.

Jack: Way easier. This like there's nothing easier than searching the woods.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Hard would be somebody went missing in the city. Well there's, I guess there's 5 million people in the city. How the f*** are you gonna find it?

Cristina: Could.

Jack: They could be walking by us and we might mess up.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: You know, the woods, ideal location for somebody to go missing. If you're gonna find them. The woods is where you want them to be.

Cristina: Alright.

Jack: And so after the two days they go and they organize a search party and start searching the woods. Now two days of search go by without finding anything.

Cristina: And the girl still doesn't know.

Jack: The girl still doesn't know. She's just staying with her grandma. But at this point the girl hasn't even talked to her parents on the phone or anything.

Cristina: So she's probably getting suspicious that something's.

Jack: Wrong or it's like a nine year old girl. Why would she get suspicious of anything?

Cristina: I don't know. Does that she have school or something to go to or she's Too young for that. You think?

Jack: This child is like, oh, my God, I should. She's like. She's remembering school.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: This is like a vacation. Yeah. This child's like, man, I need to. I need to go to school. It's important. My education comes first. What's happening?

Cristina: I miss my friends, maybe. I don't know.

Jack: This kid doesn't give a bro.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But two days into the search and they. They find Jonathan, Jackie's father.

Cristina: Okay. Oh, Jonathan. That's good.

Jack: Yes. Yes. And he's actually found dead.

Cristina: Oh, no.

Jack: Yeah, he's. He's. His body is found resting against a tree deep in the forest. It's called a parallel forest, by the way. So deep in parallel forest, he. His body's found. Parallel forest is off. I don't know the name of the highway, but it's off the highway. And this is in Oklahoma. And so his body's just found, like, sitting against a tree.

Cristina: Sitting against the tree?

Jack: Yeah, sitting against the tree. And the coroner's report says that it was just a heart attack.

Cristina: Really?

Jack: Yeah. Like, he got out of the car, traveled the woods, started to have a heart attack, leaned against a tree to kind of like, brace himself, and died there.

Cristina: What? That's pretty insane.

Jack: Yeah. That's f****** crazy, right?

Cristina: Whoa.

Jack: It's like, whoa, dude, you were having a bad day.

Cristina: And then they find the lady?

Jack: They did not immediately. So it was actually.

Cristina: How many search days is this? So far?

Jack: It's been two days of searching without. So it was two days missing?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Then two days of searching. It's been four days since they went. Since Jackie stayed with her grandma when they find her father. Okay, so four days between the day she goes to her grandma's and the day they find her father.

Cristina: Okay. Do they know how long he's been dead?

Jack: That is not established. I do not know.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: It was probably in. Somewhere in there, and I totally skimmed, so I don't know. The amount of time that comes by nex is three days before her mother is then found.

Cristina: What's her mom doing?

Jack: It's less about what her mom is doing, more about how weird it is what happened. So her mom is found in Modoc National Forest.

Cristina: Is that like super far from the forest that they're in?

Jack: Well, they're in Oklahoma and this forest is in California. What? That's weird.

Cristina: That's weird. What? What? Okay.

Jack: Yes. Also, she's found dead, and she's found sitting against a tree in the woods.

Cristina: From a heart attack.

Jack: The coroner's report claimed it Was a heart attack?

Cristina: No, she got a heart attack after walking from Oklahoma Street.

Jack: There's no way she could have walked that.

Cristina: That's not a four day walk or how long has it been at this point?

Jack: It's seven days. But that's not a seven day walk. You'd never make. You'd die long before then.

Cristina: Okay, but they think that's suspicious though, right?

Jack: She could have taken a ride there and died.

Cristina: I guess. That is so cr.

Jack: Like nobody's like, she walked there and died? No, again, only if you're expecting it to be weird will you conclude that these things are weird. Otherwise she just f****** left and had. Now again, the cops aren't connecting these dots. They're just like cops elsewhere found her. They're not like aware that again, cops in California found there. They're not like, hey man, does this woman over here have family that died elsewhere give a s***. They're just like a dead woman. So yeah, that's. But us observing it is like, whoa.

Cristina: Whoa, what does the grandma think of all this?

Jack: I know the grandma's tripping out, bro. She's like, what the. Because that's her daughter.

Cristina: Her daughter doesn't really believe her daughter ran away and then died.

Jack: Yeah, she didn't think her daughter parked the car, hitchhiked. The California died of a heart attack in the woods. Like, what party were they? Dude, that's some crazy drugs her and her husband were on. D***. I'm sure that probably crossed your mind though, like, what kind of crazy drugs were these crazy kids doing? Bath salts.

Cristina: Oh, maybe.

Jack: Man. Were bath salts even around in 2001? I don't think so. Right?

Cristina: No, it was just happening like Beth's.

Jack: Yeah, bath salts is like 2006. Maybe they had the first batch of bath salts. Yeah, they had like some super dysfunctional no kinks worked out.

Cristina: Oh my gosh.

Jack: Yeah, but that's nuts, bro.

Cristina: That is nuts. That's just like a mystery.

Jack: Yes, yes, it is. That is. That is precisely what it is.

Cristina: The cops don't do any more work. That's the end of their jobs.

Jack: I mean, what the are they supposed to. What do they think?

Cristina: The house, the car, why?

Jack: It's a heart attack. What are they supposed to do? The coroner said a heart attack. It's provably a heart attack. They're gonna be like, it was murder and someh. They caused the heart attack.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Like, no, they're just like, it was a heart attack. There's nothing beyond that point that they could do. The crazy cop that's like Dr. Housing it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: He's like, this is a setup. I can feel it. I know the coroner's report says this, but in my gut, for whatever reason, I'm extra invested in this one random case, and I want to find out what really happened to this woman who was in the woods and died of a heart attack.

Cristina: So then what happens with the grandma? What does she do?

Jack: Panic? Her daughter died?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: It's not like she's thinking clearly anymore. Her daughter died. She's just like, my daughter died of a heart attack. She probably forgot. She's not connecting dots. Her daughter died.

Cristina: Okay. I guess, yeah.

Jack: Your daughter dies, your next thought is, man, this little girl has something to it. Or I gotta investigate the murder of my daughter, who they've told me had.

Cristina: A heart attack like, in some other faraway place, like, I don't know. You don't think she, like, was kidnapped? No.

Jack: You just gotta think, my. What the f***?

Cristina: She had a heart attack in the middle of nowhere.

Jack: Right? Right. So the logic here is she got kidnapped and then had a heart attack and they dropped her in the woods. That's the logic you're expecting your grandma to have? Maybe this little girl's not safe with that grandma. If that's where that lady's mind goes, immediately like, well, the cop said the thing, but I know more has happened, but, like, there's no evidence that more has happened. The pros told you, yeah, it was a heart attack.

Cristina: It was a heart attack, but she ended up so far away.

Jack: That's a f****** nut. But again, her daughter died. She's not over here, like, considering the distance, she's like, oh, my God, what a tragedy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like, maybe afterwards, after the waters f****** calm down or whatever.

Cristina: Does she then tell her granddaughter, or is she living a lie now?

Jack: No, she doesn't tell her, Grant. I'm sure eventually she tells your granddaughter.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But immediately, it doesn't make sense. You gotta kind of strategize what to do with life. Your daughter's dead. You're stuck with your granddaughter. Your next move isn't, your mom is dead.

Cristina: Mm. No.

Jack: You got like, okay, let me damage control first.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I gotta, like, collect my emotions and I gotta, like, I guess I've adopted my granddaughter. Do you know the least of your concerns are, let me go tell my granddaughter her mom Is that. Then control her. I still don't know what I'm doing with this girl, but now I gotta worry about her emotions and, like, her mental stability, and she was already on edge.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You know, like you're not gonna say s***. You're gonna think about the well being of the child.

Cristina: Yeah. While you're having a meltdown inside.

Jack: That is what parents do. That is what grandparents, that's what adults are supposed to do. You suck it the f*** up. You keep your head down and you problem solve. Because it's not about you or your emotions. It's about that other person you're trying to raise into a functional adult. There's no way her immediate reaction is, oh, my God, your parents are dead, Bo. Your mom is dead. Your dad's dead. Everybody around you is dying. Oh, my God. You're gonna die too one day. Like, that's awesome.

Cristina: I'm gonna die.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: What.

Jack: What's that from? I remember that. That was like scary movie or some, right?

Cristina: Probably, I think. Sounds like a scary movie thing.

Jack: Yeah. Your mom is dead. Your dad's dead. I'm gonna die too one day. Oh, my God, you're gonna die. It's just.

Cristina: Yes. I feel like that is one of those movies.

Jack: Yeah, it is, right?

Cristina: I can't making fun of that movie with the seven Days to Die scenario. You know, the one that if you watch the tape.

Jack: No, but I don't think it was out. I know exactly who the guy is saying it is.

Cristina: A kid who watched the tape.

Jack: I don't remember that part. I know the guy. He's. Who's saying it is the guy who was the brother of Char. Or not the brother, but whoever the h*** was Charlie Sheen's co star when he was the main character in Scary Movie. It was that one. It was that scary movie with Charlie Sheen and some other dude. Yes, I remember that much. Maybe that's the one with the ring.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah. I'm pretty sure they own the farmhouse. That also. With the.

Jack: With the hole.

Cristina: Yeah, whatever. Yeah. Somehow leads all. All the stories are connected. I don't know.

Jack: Yeah. But the grandma is definitely not doing that to the girl. No, that's definitely not happening. That feels like the wrong move when everybody. When it's. That feels like the worst move when it's true, you know, it feels like a good troll, but it doesn't. It doesn't feel like too tasteful when it's real. It feels like bad timing to just freak out like that. But now she just sucked it up and like a good old lady, she's like, I've adopted this child. Now we need to go to her home and get clothing and crap to stay permanently. I suppose.

Cristina: Yeah. Get all the stuff.

Jack: Get Stuff? Yeah. No, I mean, not all the stuff. Just clothes and like, toothbrushes and junk like that, you know. So she goes to do all that stuff. Collects clothing and crap. But while there, the little girl says, Hank's there too. And Hank, now, she hasn't told this little girl s***. Hank tells a little girl, and the little girl tells her grandma that he said he killed her parents.

Cristina: No.

Jack: The chills that this lady must have f****** felt at that moment must be indescribable. She hasn't said anything yet. And this little girl just said Hank said he hurt my parents. Not just hurt. He killed them.

Cristina: He killed them.

Jack: He killed him. Those are words he told her. These are the words she told. She used the words killed. That is in the report. That is what said.

Cristina: What does the grandma do then? Like, what does she think? Does she believe her now? Or does she think her child's not. Child's granddaughter's insane.

Jack: Well, she's horrified by the way there's. This was on the news. This isn't just a bunch of police reports. This was reported on the news because the. The granny. Eventually. I'll let you know. So this was informed to the police about what happened, that the little girl said this.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And Stephanie, then. This is where this, like, spins the f*** out. Stephanie explains to the police. Let me take a step back. Stephanie gets institutionalized shortly after this. And the girl gets put into a foster home.

Cristina: What?

Jack: After Stephanie went to the house to collect the things. And the little girl, Jackie tells Stephanie this. She gets institutionalized. Stephanie gets institutionalized. Because Stephanie goes to the police. And Stephanie tells the police what the little girl said, but she proceeds to give some extra details that we did not know until this point. She says that a long, long time ago, when her husband was alive, she cheated on her husband with a guy named Hank.

Cristina: Stop lying. What? Continue. Continue. Yes. That's so crazy. Okay.

Jack: And Hank happened to be a British guy. And she always believed and never told her husband that he. She always believed he was the father of Victoria, her daughter.

Cristina: Wow.

Jack: She was convinced and kept this s*** a secret.

Cristina: Gosh. Okay.

Jack: Yeah. And then in explaining this, they're like, this whole family is nuts. And they institutionalize her. They thought she was, you know, dangerous f****** situation. Because at this point, she's talking about ghosts.

Cristina: Does, like, she know? Does she say what happened to him? Does she know?

Jack: No, she has no idea.

Cristina: Okay. But she's now believes the daughter because of the ex or whatever being the same ghost. Or at least that's what she thinks is Happening. This is her story. Her side of story is that she believes her ghost ex.

Jack: Well, now she's just, like, trying to explain anything. It's just like, I knew a guy named Hank or whatever, and blah, blah, blah. And it's just, you know, she's freaking out.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now, again, she. She begged the police to listen so consistently, she was like, please, come on. This is totally happening. This is true. Hank f****** killed them or whatever the h*** the story here is. He told the little girl, little girl told me, but little girl isn't telling. The cops told the grandma, and the grandma's on the cops and sounds kind of nuts.

Cristina: And they're not gonna question the girl about it.

Jack: They are. I mean, you can question the little girl about her imaginary friend.

Cristina: If they think she knows something about the murder.

Jack: They don't.

Cristina: They.

Jack: Why would an imaginary friend tell you information about the murder?

Cristina: Isn't that what the grandma is saying that happened?

Jack: Yes, but the cops are like, well, this holds water. Both the parents died of a heart attack. Let's review that.

Cristina: Oh, yes. It's not a murder.

Jack: There is no murder. You're looking for the weird, so you're seeing it. But there's no weird so far because.

Cristina: If it was a murder, they would still talk to the girlies.

Jack: Now there's a problem. Yeah.

Cristina: Okay. But no, there's no murder. This grandma's just crazy.

Jack: This is a crazy grandma. Who said that? Her. Basically, she's spazzing the f*** out because she has crazy guilt.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: That's what they're saying. The guilt broke her. There was no murder. There's nothing suspicious. The coroner's report said it was a heart attack. So, yeah, this old lady gets put in an asylum and the little girl gets committed because of this crazy, right?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: It's a nuts story.

Cristina: So, like, the gram. Or for their. They think she just made up these stories. Do they think she made up the stories of the imaginary friend? Like, that's all.

Jack: Maybe her, maybe. I don't know. I don't know why they would ever report that. But. But maybe. I guess it could. I guess the logic would be she made up the stories because she got committed. But, like, I don't know. They. They weren't like. Also, we think, you know, like, we also believe she made up the stories that the little girl was telling us or telling her or whatever.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: She made up all of it. Well, I guess that part. They think she made up all of it.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Now, after this case, right, the old lady gets committed and Jackie gets Placed in a foster home where she claims to spent her time with Hank. This. The. The. This is where this makes the news. This lady, her friend or something explains that Jackie, through her entire time staying at the foster home, always talked about this guy named Hank who she spent time with, but nobody saw her spend time with. With. Now, she never pretended to be around anybody, but she would always talk about her friend Hank.

Cristina: Okay, wait, the person telling story is a friend of hers?

Jack: Yeah. So there's a bunch of this is pieced together by a bunch of crap.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: And now we're talking about the news report that Fox had about 9 wondering why is there a report about this? So the news report that Fox had where the friend of her was talking and explaining that she was always talking about this guy Hank. But, like, we spent almost all time together. There's no way she knew a guy named Hank. And she leaves the foster home at 18, so, you know, taking contacts for too long. But on her 21st birthday, Jackie's found.

Cristina: Dead from her heart attack. No. I don't know.

Jack: In a forest.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Leaning against a tree. From a heart attack, according to Connor's report.

Cristina: Oh.

Jack: What?

Cristina: That. What. Who pieced the story together if no one believed any of it, or I guess, like, afterwards. Because this friend at least heard stories about Hank.

Jack: About Hank. Yes, she knew about Hank. She didn't know who the h*** Hank was. She just heard about the guy named Hank. And then working backwards, they come across the information necessary to then claim all these things. So there's enough police reports, there's coroner reports, there's the documents that put the grandma in the asylum, and the grandma is still alive to ask questions to. So. Yeah.

Cristina: So did the grandma have more information?

Jack: Knew Grandma knew what she knew, and that was it.

Cristina: Oh, I don't understand. Like, this is supposed to be some weird ghost story, or is this a real person that's stalking a family?

Jack: I don't know. It's crazy, right?

Cristina: Yeah, because, like, I don't get it. Like, how are they dying from heart attacks?

Jack: That's the craziest part. The immediate thing I thought about when I was checking this out was like, somebody has a death note. Somebody. Like, how is everybody going off of a heart attack, bro?

Cristina: Yes. Walking into a forest. And. Yeah.

Jack: It's like somebody wrote the instructions ahead of time, and then it's like, just put the name a heart attack. How weird. It could have been anything else. They could have just all walked off a bridge.

Cristina: I don't understand. Like, why would. If this was like A ghost story. Why he would have this much hate to do all that? Like, did her husband murder him? Or something like that would make sense, I guess, as revenge. I don't know. Like, we don't know anything.

Jack: Yeah. The problem with the. When stories like this are real is that somebody's withholding information because they don't want to look bad. So maybe if this was a re. If this is a ghost story, if this is a ghost doing this, somebody had to do something to him, right?

Cristina: Yeah. Like, besides lying about. There's no way that that's the whole truth.

Jack: Yeah. That some, like, this old lady knows. Like, my husband died because he was killed by the guy because he went out to kill him in the first place or whatever.

Cristina: Yeah. Or he just killed the guy and then that's it. That's all she knows. Like, oh, my lover just disappeared one day after I got pregnant.

Jack: Well, interesting enough, she did say that she cheated on her husband with the guy, but never told the husband that she thought that was the father of the daughter. But did her husband not know or did he know?

Cristina: What if he did know and then killed the guy? Yeah. And this was his revenge.

Jack: Yeah. 100 it could be. But also, why would he kill his own daughter? Unless that wasn't actually his daughter? She only thought it was.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Again, she wasn't sure. She was convinced, but it.

Cristina: She was convinced. And maybe her husband was also convinced.

Jack: Yes. But maybe he just wasn't. And it's like, you killed me for nothing.

Cristina: Yeah. Whoa. That could totally be it. Who knows? But, like, yeah, if that was his daughter, why do this? Why? Murder. It's just too much murder to be like.

Jack: It's no murder.

Cristina: No. Well, whatever.

Jack: To this moment, there has not been a single murder.

Cristina: Suspicious heart attacks.

Jack: Yes. Ex absorbently suspicious heart attacks.

Cristina: Yes. I don't know. Like, if we don't count him in, then what is happening? How did they. Why and what the.

Jack: Do the woods have to do with anything?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Or the forest. Whatever.

Cristina: Forest. Yeah.

Jack: Also, weirder question. Why is the mom all the way in California?

Cristina: Yes. How? Why?

Jack: Well, how? She probably hitchhiked there. But, like, what?

Cristina: Maybe Frank was from there. Who knows? I don't know none of that. Hank. Hank. Is it Frank? Yeah, whatever.

Jack: No, he was from England.

Cristina: Yeah, but he lived somewhere in America afterwards. Like, she met him in England.

Jack: Unclear. She dated a British guy and he worked at a lighthouse off the coast of England.

Cristina: Yes, but was she dating him there? I don't think so.

Jack: I mean, how would she date a guy Working at the lighthouse. Yeah, but I guess he worked at the lighthouse. It doesn't necessarily mean. No, it was off the coast. So he wasn't, like, on. On a f****** island, I guess.

Cristina: I'm guessing he vacationed in America or something. Yeah.

Jack: Like, how'd she meet him? You know, unless she vacationed. But no, this. Okay, so if we're trying to make this make sense, he had to come over here.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Not the other way around. So she just had, like, a fling. Probably in California.

Cristina: Exactly, because maybe she was on vacation.

Jack: Maybe they were both on vacation, man. In California. Some s*** went down. Then she confessed to her husband. Her husband went over there immediately and off. The guy. Maybe. She was in vacation with her husband, obviously. And then, you know, wild night where he was just at home. She was, you know, I'm gonna go hang out at the bar. You don't want to come out, whatever. And, you know, things happen. Goes home with Hank or not even goes home. Maybe Hank rents a car. Something happens with Hank, and then she feels. Oh, well, the pregnancy I have isn't my husband. Oh, my God. Yeah, but it was totally. Was your husband. And then your husband finds out because you confess or something. Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.

Cristina: I thought she kept it a secret. I mean, she did keep a secret from her daughter, I'm assuming, because she just let it out after everything happened, but I don't know. Yeah, I think she probably confessed.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. To her husband.

Cristina: Yeah, Exclusively.

Jack: And so. So then the order of events were going by. Is lady lives in Oklahoma. She then has a vacation in California.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: By the Murdoch National Forest, actually. When her husband, for whatever reason, isn't with her and she happens to meet a guy named Hank, they have a fling in the forest. Yeah, that's where they f******.

Cristina: Oh, the plot thickens. Yes.

Jack: They f*** in the forest.

Cristina: And he probably was killed in the forest or his body was hidden in the forest after he was killed.

Jack: One of Holy. That's exactly what happened. They didn't f*** in the forest. They probably in the car parked by the forest.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: She explains to her husband what happened. Her husband goes and kills the guy, takes him to the forest. It just so happens to be the nearby forest. So both events take place there.

Cristina: Yes. And she has no clue what he's doing.

Jack: She has no clue that he did this. She just knows she confessed.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: The end. That's her. The extent of her knowledge. Her husband did the rest, and he has no reason to. He's horrified that he did this. He's not gonna be like, I killed a guy and threw him in the forest.

Cristina: Yeah. That's a secret he dies with.

Jack: Yeah. They go back home. She's pregnant. She does not tell her husband that she believes that's the other guy's baby. But she does believe that the other guy's baby. Which is probably not the case. It's probably just her husband's child. She's just guilty. She feels guilty.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And all these other thoughts are associated with the guilt. Simple. Simple. One plus one equals two. Most cases. But sometimes it could equal one as well. But we're not gonna dive into this. Into the semantics of how math is kind of difficult to understand. So he kills a guy. She doesn't tell him. She thinks it's his baby. Totally not his baby. But this lady grows up, marries a guy named Jonathan, and then they have a daughter named Jackie. And then Jackie has an imaginary, unquote friend.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: For whatever reason, this guy is messing with this girl. I guess this spirit is just waiting. And then one day, the moment arrives and the whole scenario happens. So car by the woods where she probably f***** in the first place. The guy. Because it's just possibility. And then the bodies in the woods where her late husband had buried. Not literally in the first instance, but that's why the mom, the actual biological one.

Cristina: Mm. Is buried over there.

Jack: Not buried.

Cristina: Found over there.

Jack: Yes. Interesting enough, I wouldn't be surprised if the guy's body is beneath that tree. But they would have had no reason to look.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Also, that happened so f****** long ago. There's no sign on the dirt.

Cristina: Yeah. There's no way that they could piece that together.

Jack: Yeah. So it's just a dead lady.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But the guy who isn't her father is buried directly beneath her.

Cristina: Possibly.

Jack: What?

Cristina: That's crazy.

Jack: The idea here is that all of this happened, everybody in this lady's family died because of her f****** cheating on her husband in her first place.

Cristina: The ghost got his revenge by not killing her.

Jack: By not killing her. Letting her stay alive to watch all this. To know her family's dead.

Cristina: Yeah, like he really had it out for her.

Jack: Maybe she could. The problem is, maybe she could have stopped her husband. Maybe just not telling him would have been the right move.

Cristina: Yeah. Or maybe she has suspicious also that he did something to Hank and just never said anything. Like she's living with that guilt.

Jack: Interesting.

Cristina: It's way more than just.

Jack: Yeah, she could definitely have an inkling and, like you didn't avenge his death.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And it's Your fault he's dead. Yeah, like you didn't redeem yourself.

Cristina: But what if it has nothing to do with her story or whatever? Like, what if this girl did have an imaginary friend that was a ghost? Maybe in the house? Is that possible? I don't know. Like. But he has the name of the other guy.

Jack: Yes, yes, yes. The name is where this immediately becomes a ghost story.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: If the name didn't line up, then it wouldn't be a ghost. And who he killed. Why wasn't it. Why didn't he just hurt the little girl?

Cristina: Why did he take all these steps? Like. But it feels like it also, it wasn't in his control either. Because you say he like, changed over time. He was friendly at first, and then he just grew more and more hateful.

Jack: And that's interesting, right? What's that about? That's also where it gets kind of creepy. The rest of it is. It's more of a mystery. Everything is mystery until you get to the silent hill aspect of the little girl. That one patch is like, what happened because he was just playing with her, which would then make you think, no, that is your daughter. That's your granddaughter. That's your granddaughter.

Cristina: Unless he didn't have all his memory and he was gaining it. And that's what's all the glitchiness. Not glitchy, but, you know, the odd.

Jack: Behavior that's somehow somewhere, some such is so horrifying. I don't know why that disturbed me. The fact that he's a ghost with no memories. And then suddenly the memories start coming. It's f****** twitching and.

Cristina: Yeah. And then the hate starts growing. But that's real hate that he had before he died. But he just didn't have it at the moment when he met the girl. I guess. Like it just formed.

Jack: Interesting. Interesting.

Cristina: Like that makes sense because he was playing with her. He was normal. He was like, whatever.

Jack: Yes. And then slowly, gradually, more corrupted, broken, more twisted.

Cristina: Yeah. Like that's very strange. Could it be because it. What does that even mean? A ghost gaining memories?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: How's that a thing like that means.

Jack: He was a goat. An incomplete ghost to some degree.

Cristina: Yes. I don't know. That's like.

Jack: And why focus on the little girl unless you're actually related? Related?

Cristina: You think? Maybe. I don't know.

Jack: If it wasn't, then he would have just focused on the old lady. But he didn't. In fact, the old lady was completely left out of it. That part right there makes me think that's actually the Victoria Is actually his daughter.

Cristina: Okay. Because he was around her. Well, sort of.

Jack: Daughter. He's around the daughter. Somebody in the family. As opposed to being around Stephanie, the grandmother.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: That makes me think. Yes. And I guess it would hold. The story would still hold. So Stephanie and her husband go on vacation. For whatever reason, one night, she's not with her husband. She meets a British man named Hank, who happens to also be in a vacation. They're from Oklahoma, but they're vacationing in California by the Modoc woods. She has a flame in the car parked on the side of the highway with Hank. She does get pregnant by Hank. She confesses to her husband what happened.

Cristina: Yes. And he goes. Fine.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Hank. He goes find Hank. Kills him in the woods.

Jack: Well, kills him and.

Cristina: And then buries him in the woods.

Jack: Probably.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Could have killed him in the woods, could have killed him somewhere else. Regardless, he kills him.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And he puts him in the woods.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Then they leave. But she is, in fact, pregnant. She doesn't tell her husband that she's pregnant with his. The other guy's baby. He thinks this is his child.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: But it's not. Fast forward. Hank's spirit follows the bloodline manifests to the little girl. His granddaughter.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because victorious. His actual daughter.

Cristina: It has to be. Maybe. But I wonder if she had an imaginary friend and the grandma just doesn't remember. But then again, she would have known. Like, this would have.

Jack: Like this would have happened already. Yeah, it would have already happened. There would have been. No, no, Jackie, no. Because Victoria is where it would have ended.

Cristina: Why was a heart attack?

Jack: Why would a heart attack. That's another thing that doesn't make sense. Because why wouldn't they just show up dead and then have no trace as a. Why, like, you know, like, only clearly murdered, stabbed to death, or, like, beat to death or whatever. But there's no trace of who did it. That would make sense. That's like. Okay, whatever happened to you, you did to them.

Cristina: Yeah. Unless he somehow died from a heart attack. Can you cause someone to have a heart attack?

Jack: I don't know. Maybe he hit him in the chest a couple of times, punch him in the chest repeatedly, and kill the guy by accident. Maybe. Maybe he went to beat the guy up, not kill him, and he beat the guy into having a heart attack. Maybe by hitting him in the chest, the guy dies. Then he goes ahead and buries the body in the panic. That's why this was never reported.

Cristina: Yeah, well, no matter how he did it.

Jack: But so the good. So Hank dies of A heart attack. And then he makes sure that the bloodline dies of a heart attack.

Cristina: Yes. Why kill the husband, though?

Jack: Yes. Because he's not related.

Cristina: It's not related. Yeah, but.

Jack: But keeping this in mind, maybe he sees Victoria and Jonathan as individuals that are mirroring what Stephanie did. Maybe they're not doing the same event. But he doesn't have a husband to take revenge out on. He has a daughter and his daughter has a husband to take revenge out on. Yeah, there's a husband somewhere.

Cristina: And I wonder how much the daughter reminds him of the mother of Stephanie.

Jack: Interesting. And then he's just. Yeah, it could totally be. It could totally be.

Cristina: It's just a weird build out. Like I don't feel. It doesn't feel like he planned it out from the beginning. Unless he. Maybe he did. I don't know. But then it's just weird. But we don't know the whole story.

Jack: We don't know the whole story because why would she tell us?

Cristina: Yeah, but I mean, like the little girl story too, of how he was friendly and then he just over times becomes a different person? Pretty much.

Jack: Well, here's what's interesting. The girl in the foster home isn't being tortured by Hank. Hank is just fine. It's just stories of being with Frank and spending time with him.

Cristina: That's also weird because she knows he killed her parents at this point.

Jack: Interesting. I wonder if this girl has some suppression problems going on, huh? Because it is traumatic. It's particularly traumatic. Your parents disappear, you got this crazy f***** tells you he killed them. Your grandma gets put away. You're young.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: You just create a blockade.

Cristina: I guess that would be the only way because, like, how are you living with all this nonsense going on? This is nonsense.

Jack: Like, interesting.

Cristina: What? Like she had. Did she believe him? Does she not believe him? You wouldn't know. I mean, her friends weren't worried about it. They were like, ah, she has an imaginary friend. Whatever.

Jack: She's an immature individual. At the end.

Cristina: She wasn't seeing a therapist. Still during that time, I maybe, like.

Jack: She'S already been seeing a therapist, so it wouldn't be like, crazy.

Cristina: Oh, and there's no story from them.

Jack: Why this? It would be illegal.

Cristina: Oh, there.

Jack: There's probably a crap ton of notes that nobody's ever gonna see because that would be illegal.

Cristina: This is. It's just a weird story, man. She did it. No. How did she do it?

Jack: Anyways, that's the story of Jackie and Stephanie.

Cristina: How she killed her parents.

Jack: No, I don't Know how her parents died.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So interesting, though.

Cristina: Yeah. A weird case of random heart attacks.

Jack: Random heart attacks and a crazy old lady with crazy stories.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah, that's what it sums some.

Jack: Three heart attacks and a crazy old lady with crazy stories. Anyways. Anyways. Anyways. So we're totally way over the time here, but good. Bad, bad. Middle ground.

Cristina: Middle ground.

Jack: I think definitely not as horrifying as whatever the h*** happened last week at the Biovent is like, bro, that's horrifying. But this is just. This is just a weird.

Cristina: It's very weird.

Jack: It's very strange.

Cristina: It's.

Jack: It's probably just like.

Cristina: It's a bit icky. I don't know. Yeah, yeah.

Jack: And there's. Again, there's no murder anywhere.

Cristina: There's no murder, but it's very suspicious. Everything is like. It's not right.

Jack: It's not suspicious. It's very. Yeah, it's just not right. Right. There's just something like. This is weird.

Cristina: Three heart attacks. No way. In the forest. No way.

Jack: Yeah. And all of them in the same.

Cristina: Exact way in different forests. None of them in the same forest. Nope. That's very weird.

Jack: That is weird. Anyways, Anyways. Anyways, if you guys enjoy spooky stuff, we got two other episodes right before this one that are strange circumstances that.

Cristina: Have happened in life, and we have other episodes. Episodes. Older episodes.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: About weird, strange, real events.

Jack: Yes. There's a bunch. And not just real, there's a bunch of just like mythical crap that's weird, too. And like a bunch of horrifying creatures everywhere. There's a plethora. We. We kind of circle horror often, although we don't word it in horror kind of ways. There's a lot of creepy we talk about when you think about it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And you can find all that on the podcast platforms. Any of them. And if there's one we're not on, like, I don't know, send us a message. And you could actually send us that message on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram @justcomfopod, as well as find a bunch of clips and crap there.

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

Jack: Word of mouth, incredibly important. So, you know, if you. I guess that's not even word of mouth, but. How do I put it? If you rate the show, though, it's the equivalent of word of mouth, I guess, because we move up, you're telling.

Cristina: People, hey, but if you review it, aren't you doing the same thing?

Jack: Yeah, if you rate it, you bring us up and you're like, hey, worth looking at. And if you review it, you're literally letting people know. Letting people know with words. Although not words of mouth. It's words of keyboards.

Cristina: Yes. Words of keyboard. Yes. Okay. I let someone who might like this show know about it.

Jack: Thus insert the word of mouth.

Cristina: Yes. This has been the Rambling podcast. Take nothing personal. Thanks for listening. Bye. And these penguin guards, what are they? They're just. They're just guards.

Jack: They're guards. There's some sort of chimera of some sort or some man made creature. Maybe there's. Maybe there's birds and penguins over the. I don't f****** know, man. I don't pay attention. Yeah, we're. Our job is inside the.

Cristina: Inside the wall. Yeah. That's why we don't really travel outside the wall.

Jack: Yeah. There's no reason to.

Cristina: Yeah. Everything is in here. Yeah.

Jack: Yeah. So that's definitely, you know, that's what's happening there. And the reason that it's connected to Martin Luther King is actually that Martin Luther King, he had to communicate with the people from the other side of the wall to get help to establish laws that would help inside the wall.

Cristina: He had to do that.

Jack: He didn't directly. Basically, Martin Luther King would have secret meetings with President. What the h*** was his name? Lynn? Lyndon.

Cristina: Lyndon.

Jack: Lyndon Johnson. Yeah, President Lyndon Johnson. Martin Luther King would have special meetings with President Lyndon Johnson. This is fact secret meeting. Some of them were recorded unknowing. And these meetings took place because, you know, as, you know, world leaders communicate with higher ups and the chain goes all the way to the top of the Illuminati, top of Freemasons, top of government, all these things that usually manage from outside the wall. And so he needed to talk to the president to get messages from the president to the overseers and overlords on the other side of the wall to then get resources sent back so that we can, you know, they would have advice, they would send people to help and black neighborhoods need help or whatever. And so people would show up that like, where are those people from? But, you know, so much help, we're not gonna question it. And it's because people from over the wall are showing up to help.

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. This podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by greatthoughts.info art by 0lupo and logo by Seth McAllister with social media managed by Amber Black.

+Transcript

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

Jack: Going live in 5, 4.

Cristina: What does live mean?

Jack: welcome to the Rambling Podcast, the show where we ground humanity's most absurd and baffling ideas. I'm your host, Jack.

Cristina: And I'm your host, Christina.

Jack: And today. So, you know, it's October and everything.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Last week we had a really weird story. Also, I'm holding. This is the creepy. The creepy stories voice. So last week, by mere chance, I happened to locate. Now, I knew roughly about the. The super deep borehole, but I didn't know it got so weird. You know, everybody's heard about the story of the.

Cristina: Heard about the sound.

Jack: Yeah, it's like. And every. You know, superstitions and blah, blah, blah.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The usual stuff that happens in life when something odd happens, but like, when you really investigate the superstitious and like. Oh, no, it's just, you know, urban legend that quickly fades and then you just got really weird information left.

Cristina: It's so weird. It's hard to imagine that that's a real story.

Jack: I'm sure a lot of it is bullshit. Like, you got to understand now, all the things that happened are real. But again, I'm sure that a lot of it is just people speculating on things and a lot of superstitious individuals making the reports.

Cristina: Mmm.

Jack: You know, so you put a bunch of religious people in a place, even if they're scientists, you know, the religious aspect of our humanity seems to always kick in. And these things that always seem to jump in are conspiracy theories and monsters and aliens and, oh, this and that and all this. The f****** hole to h***. Allegedly.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But like, no, it was probably, you know, we. Some creature we've never seen is somehow developed down there. And it's not a monster or a demon or anything. It's just some creature. Anytime we go to the very depths of the ocean, we find weird s***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Why wouldn't this be the same case?

Cristina: Mm. You know, it's possible.

Jack: So the reason I talked about that story last week was because, you know, Halloween's coming, time to get into the weird s***.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And I had the intention of, you know, finding some other science related thing to talk about to, you know, this is something science can't explain. But in trying to find something science couldn't explain, I just found something that science wasn't even involved in or directly involved in. They just happened to be scientists.

Cristina: I don't know what you mean. Like, it's a discovery.

Jack: No. So the super deep borehole is a science experiment. It's science that we can't explain what was ha. Like science can't explain what was happening in the science experiment.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Okay.

Cristina: Or they did and they just never showed us.

Jack: Yes, exactly. Exactly. This isn't science experiment or science can't explain it. Nobody has tried to be scientific about it because it's so random. So allow me to begin by introducing to you Ollie Austin, PhD, Stephanie Ramirez, PhD, and Gerald Larson, PhD. Three scientists. That's as sciencey as this is getting. Okay, now I'll give you some background information. All three scientists work at a place called Bio Ventus.

Cristina: Sounds sciency.

Jack: Some sciency place. And they're science y people. It makes sense. My rabbit hole deep dive for science weirdness was checking out so far.

Cristina: Okay, so is this like a lab in Raccoon City or something?

Jack: No, I wish. That would definitely have been more along the lines of what I was looking for, but this is definitely more along the lines of Halloween. I supp. So all three scientists, now they all work in the same building. None of these three scientists know each other. It's a huge facility and they all have their own respective labs. The only commonality between these three individuals is that they are in their respective projects. The scientists tend to stay late. They're the hardest working of their teams or whatever. They don't know each other. They are totally opposite sides of the building.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Okay. Let us begin. This story takes place through their logs. I guess I'm not. I don't understand why they all have logs. I guess the facility requires anybody to log everything they do, I guess for science journal purposes or whatever.

Cristina: These are real logs.

Jack: These are real logs.

Cristina: People making things up.

Jack: No, no, no. These are logs by these scientists.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yes. Yeah. So they're not like random people made these up. These are in certain reports by the facility. And these are all traceable logs that the scientists have made as part of their ritualized log keeping or whatever.

Cristina: Okay. Does it matter what kind of scientists they are to the story?

Jack: No, because the story has nothing to do with science. This is again, my search was on point until the story started to unravel.

Cristina: Is this the murder mystery? Should I guess?

Jack: Allow me to get through it.

Cristina: Okay. Okay.

Jack: Okay. So on July 10th of 2012, a late night as usual for all three scientists. This is all according to their reports, and they all report at this very night a series of strange sounds. Now they're all coming from the hallway and they are all totally opposite sides of the building, but they all report directly Outside their door, strange sounds. They're unclear about what these sounds are.

Cristina: Okay. None of them actually look out their door. They just report the sounds.

Jack: It's unclear, based on these reports, whether they look outside. Okay, so we just know that they said, oh, strange noises outside, and the rest just continues as normal. Because they're supposed to log every step of everything they take. So every. Any item they use, any tool they use, any chemical they mix, every. Every time they walk across the thing to touch anything.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Because all of this factors in to whatever the h*** they're working on. So they log that there was strange sounds, and then the log continues as normal. Now to clarify it, and then the scientists were working together or even on.

Cristina: The same project, but they're on the same floor.

Jack: Unclear. I know. They're opposite sides of buildings of the building. They could totally be one on a different floor or whatever. They're just not together.

Cristina: Okay, but the sounds is coming outside of their room. Not outside. Like, outside the building?

Jack: Yes, directly outside their door.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: All of them report that.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yes. Okay. Now, what's weird about this is since it's coming from their hall directly outside their door, and they're all opposite sides of the building, none of them report it came from the. You know, it didn't come from outside my window or whatever.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Presumably, the sound is coming from the dead center of the building.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Except somehow it's loud enough to hit all of them to the point that they think is directly outside your door. Yeah, but it happens at exactly 8:32pm.

Cristina: That'S not even that late.

Jack: It's late as h*** for somebody to still be at work. If you work nine to five.

Cristina: Yeah, yeah.

Jack: That's like, almost four hours into your work. Overtime.

Cristina: It would be more scary if it was in the ams.

Jack: Okay, yeah, whatever. Not the point.

Cristina: What happens next?

Jack: We'll find out. So 8:32, everybody reports that at this very moment, strange, anomalous, undistinguishable something sounds are happening. So the guy on the left says it came from the right, the guy on the right says it came from the left. The guy in the front says it came from the back, and the one in the back said it came from the front. There are only three people, but you get the image I'm trying to build. There's a location that it seems to be coming from, except it's equally loud. So, like, maybe it was outside of all their doors simultaneously. Now, they all put the. Put the sounds in their log and the following notes. The following notes after the sound were really weird and identical for all three scientists, which was they all felt dizziness, they all felt nausea, and they all felt, following the dizziness and the nausea, the eeriest feeling like they were being watched.

Cristina: I don't understand where the story is going.

Jack: I told you it's strange. And stop trying to anticipate it because it's not gonna go anywhere you'd ever expect. Really a hundred percent. The story is going nowhere. You think? Okay, it is too strange.

Cristina: Is it a sci fi story? At least.

Jack: We'Re gonna find out along the way.

Cristina: Okay, Okay.

Jack: I suppose my telling you would answer this.

Cristina: Okay, continue the story.

Jack: But again, they all logged the sound and they all have exactly the same notes following it. Nausea, dizziness. And I felt like somebody was watching me.

Cristina: Weird, okay?

Jack: Very, very weird. Now at this point I don't know what the f*** is happening because again, it be. Now I'm thinking alien abduction type of s***, right? Like it's totally going in that direction.

Cristina: But it's not.

Jack: We'll find out whether it is or not. Okay, but it's definitely how it feels. So far.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: It a hundred percent feels like aliens are in your building and there's something that's causing the like nausea and the like dizziness, you know, alien radiation or you know, whatever the f****** people would make up. Like I'm sure if just up to this point, like people. The problem is, I know factually that people have made a thousand conspiracy theories stopping at this point, like ignoring the rest of it. They're like, well, clearly the rest of it is just a result of this. Aliens did that and then they hallucinated.

Cristina: The rest of it.

Jack: Yeah, you know, so that's immediately what I stumbled upon. So I'm like, oh, interesting. Let me dig deeper. But those fell apart quick because they literally just stopped at that point. They chose to stop at that point, but the story didn't stop at that point. They made conspiracy theories choosing a point that the story ends essentially. They're like, well, yeah, it was all aliens from that point, but let's, let's decide whether it's all aliens at that point.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: Now this event began on July 10. So the scientists have daily logs that continued to get kind of weird and erratic following the events.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: On July 24, all three logs reported an extremely bright flash of light appearing instantly and disappearing from the hallway outside their respective labs, all simultaneously.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Weirdest part about this is they all reported that it happened at 8:32pm okay.

Cristina: What is happening at 8:32pm I don't know.

Jack: But this, it's already like, what the f***?

Cristina: And it's like a blink of a second. Like it's instant.

Jack: It's like, what, just a one shot and then it's gone.

Cristina: And then. Do they feel horrible again?

Jack: Well, following this, they didn't report that they felt any. Like, that never was mentioned again. The dizziness and the nausea.

Cristina: Okay. What?

Jack: Yeah, it was just like the one instant following the sounds, but this time it's a light and there's no report of like any sickness or anything. Okay, now like, what is happening there?

Cristina: And how many days is this after.

Jack: You said 10, and then this is 14 days later.

Cristina: 14 days later. Okay. Does it even matter the length of time? I don't know. Well, continue. Sorry.

Jack: I totally relate. Like, I, I don't know. I don't know. I. It's. You gotta understand, I'm baffled as h*** about this because I'm a very science minded person, which was the point of looking for weird sciencey things. And all I did was find scientists that are like reporting on s*** that just continues to break down. And I'm like, okay, so all of you essentially are describing alien abduction setup.

Cristina: Yes. Still sounds like it.

Jack: Dizziness, nausea. Next you got lights?

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Like it's an alien, bro. It has to be, right?

Cristina: I don't know. Where's it?

Jack: And like the conspiracy theories land there. They're all saying aliens. Maybe. In fact, some of the conspiracy theories suggest that on the first time this happened on the 10th, that all three of them were abducted and that anything following this point was either fabricated by the aliens or them under control of the aliens. So they continued the reports just. Nor they continued going through the motions under alien control.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Or that these are all hallucinations you're experiencing because of the alien experiments. Yeah, there's a plethora of things, but again, we're approaching this from a scientific. We're trying to be scientific. Even if everybody else who's looked at this immediately went into like tinfoil hat territory.

Cristina: It's hard not to.

Jack: It is so hard not to. Because of how immediately it looks like aliens.

Cristina: Yes. Especially when it's happening at the same exact time every time it happens directly.

Jack: Outside each of their door. Yeah, like that's, here's, here's the problem with this. If they all reported it directly outside their door, but there was a minute, two minutes, three minutes difference between one moment and the other, like one report and the other, then we'd be like, well, something is traveling the building no. Yeah, but it's instantly at the same moment everywhere.

Cristina: So it seems like they're being adopted. Aducted.

Jack: Abducted.

Cristina: Abducted, yes.

Jack: Well, let's find out. So on July 25, this is 15 days after the initial and one day after the bright light.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Totally different amount of time.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: All three reports say a female scream echoed through the halls of the facility at the same time at exactly 8:32pm.

Cristina: Okay, we have a sound, but you don't know what the sound is. It's just some weird.

Jack: Some. They couldn't describe it. It was too foreign to them.

Cristina: Was there a color to the light?

Jack: Just a bright white flash.

Cristina: White flash. And now a scream.

Jack: Now a female scream that they claim echoed through the facility. Now, both Ollie and Gerald investigated immediately. They just jumped into action. Somebody's in the building getting hurt.

Cristina: Okay, cool.

Jack: They ran the halls and did not find a female at all. Also, this is the first time these two scientists meet because they're like, they couldn't. They corroborate the fact that they both heard the s***.

Cristina: Oh, crap. So are they all three gonna meet in the story?

Jack: Find out.

Cristina: Okay, okay.

Jack: So they meet and they find nothing. They got, you know, I'm assuming they got like a. A buddy cop story or. Not buddy cop, but, you know, like, buddy story. Yeah, we meet in the thing and we go on a flashlight adventure of finding where the scream came from. Who's the guy behind the mask? Scooby, Help us. So, you know that kind of s***. Except they find nothing. They're like, well, I guess somebody played an audio clip or some s*** really loud. But, like, bro, you're way over there. Yeah, dude, you're way over here. So the reports essentially claim that they met each. Because they have to report everything. So the reports claim they met each other and they heard the same sound and they looked for it. And I guess they came to the conclusion that maybe somebody, before leaving the building, played an audio clip or something or was listening to something weird as they walked around the building that allowed both of them to hear it. They don't understand themselves why it happened at exactly the same time at this. Different sides of the building. That's also included as, like, a weird cliff note of like, okay, that happened for real. I guess I'm not going crazy. The other guy said he heard it.

Cristina: Yeah, but do you know if they talked about the past events to each other?

Jack: No, that was not mentioned at all. I do not know if they discussed this. They. They put just the details that mattered about the event. That happened that night.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And then meeting the other person. Okay, that night. Now, while these two guys investigated and they found nothing, the following day, the female, Stephanie Ramirez, was reported missing.

Cristina: What? Wait, did she. She did not write about the woman screaming.

Jack: She wrote about the woman screaming. All three wrote about the woman screaming. Talk about the woman screaming.

Cristina: And then the next day, she's just gone.

Jack: She's just gone. She was never found again. Let me clarify. There was no body to this woman. There was no trace of this woman. This woman ceased to f****** exist that day. Never found again.

Cristina: But she wrote about that. And then she wrote about the rest of her work. Like they would go back and finish their job. Or did she disappear the moment she heard the woman scream?

Jack: No, she heard the woman scream. She continued her work. She did not go investigate. Yeah, she continued. She finished her night, and that was it. And that's the last we ever heard of her. That report. Exactly.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: What the h***? Because you think woman scream. Okay. She yelled because they, too, went to investigate.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Except no. Her report also had a female screen.

Cristina: Yeah. What is happening?

Jack: You see how this is quickly breaking down?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: If it was that, this is the moment that I dropped the alien shtick. Because if it's aliens, it was her screaming. It would have been her screaming. Also important detail.

Cristina: What?

Jack: These are the only three people in the building other than janitors. This is a fact.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: This is all. Everything in this building is monitored at all times. This is why the LODs are important.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Everything is monitored at all times. Janitors all walk where there's cameras. What's weird is, in later interviews, the janitors were questioned about the event. They got no. They didn't hear s***. They didn't see s***. This is not happening to the janitors.

Cristina: They have cameras everywhere, though.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Did they see her leave?

Jack: No. The cameras are not allowed in the lab rooms. The cameras are in hallways, which is why the janitors aren't allowed in the rooms. They're only allowed in the hallways.

Cristina: But no one saw her leave the room.

Jack: No one saw her leave the room.

Cristina: She finished her work and then disappeared in that room.

Jack: Disappeared in that room. She never stepped outside.

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Let me also clarify. Not every inch of everything has a camera on it. Like, there's not a camera aiming at her door.

Cristina: Okay?

Jack: You know, there are many cameras to make sure people don't leave with s***. There are many cameras making sure people don't enter private, like, classified areas.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But there isn't a camera in every inch of the building. Because a lot of it is.

Cristina: Well, that's really hard to imagine that someone like, knew where all the cameras were to sneak around and grab her or some crazy.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. They would be caught somewhere. Yeah, one camera caught them. But the weird part is the fact that no janitor ever heard s***. No janitor ever saw s***.

Cristina: But this isn't where the story ends, is it? No.

Jack: Now there's story keeps going.

Cristina: Oh my gosh, it's crazy. Sorry.

Jack: So, yeah, this lady was never found.

Cristina: Wait, this is a day after the scream, right?

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: She's reported missing the day after the scream. Presumably she went missing the day of the scream. Yes, that's the. The conclusion to be made here now. Okay. On the following day, the day that the scientist lady is reported missing, the day Stephanie is reported missing, both Ollie and Gerald are still working late. They always work late. That's their thing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Both of them report a female scientist roaming the halls crying. And both of them immediately try to chase and find out what the f*** they think. That's the same voice they heard before screaming. The screaming voice. Now there's a chick crying and they see her when they run outside. Unclear. At the distance, turning the corner.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: They get to the corner too quick for her to go anywhere and there's nobody there.

Cristina: And they write that down.

Jack: They put that in their logs. They have to log everything.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Now in both of these cases, the corner had a camera. Okay, around the corner. And all you see is the scientist guys is the scientist guys rushing to the corner and nothing more. But both of them put the same thing at opposite sides of the building.

Cristina: Oh my gosh. What is happening?

Jack: H*** is going on?

Cristina: I don't know. It sounds like aliens and ghosts. I don't know.

Jack: All at the same time.

Cristina: All at the same time.

Jack: Yeah, all at the same time. Look, I have no idea what the h***'s going on. Not even. Not even a little. Again, I don't know what to think. Sci. Is it a sci fi f****** problem or is it a paranormal issue?

Cristina: And they still go to work late after this point.

Jack: Well, it's their job. They gotta. Because they're science minded. They think there's explanations.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: In fact, Cliff notes with theories in their logs.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: As to maybe I inhaled chemicals from what I'm working on.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And it's causing the hallucination again. They don't. Other than the one scream time, they don't like really go into detail. They're working on things they don't tell each other. All the details. So they don't know that the other person experienced the whole array of things. They just know the one thing. That's it. So they don't realize there's no way that guy inhaled the same thing you did that could you both hallucinating the same thing. That doesn't check out. That doesn't check out. That makes zero sense.

Cristina: No, no. But they don't know.

Jack: They don't know. So they just think you know some. So first I heard the thing and maybe it was real, but maybe it was just something small again, like music or something. But I'm hallucinating. I am experiencing a form of distress that's leading my brain to exaggerate certain things. Maybe the working consistently at nights is causing the. Whatever, blah, blah, blah. They're trying to rationalize it.

Cristina: Yeah, but did they watch those cameras or was that something that happened after.

Jack: That's way later.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: That's way later.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So again, they both go and investigate this woman, and there's nobody there. She's just gone around the corner.

Cristina: Okay, before you get to the next part though.

Jack: Got you.

Cristina: The cameras don't hear anything, don't see anything.

Jack: The cameras have no audio?

Cristina: No. Oh, they don't have audio.

Jack: Just video.

Cristina: Video. Okay. They didn't see the flash then the.

Jack: Flash never showed up.

Cristina: They just see these men running.

Jack: They just see these men running around the corner.

Cristina: That's it. Okay.

Jack: And both halls, the cameras around the corner.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Neither of their doors is visible to a camera. But the corner that they took off in, which also now that you bring this up, why did she happen to go in the direction both instances that there's a camera? Weird. I did not think about that before, but now I'm thinking about like she turned basically the identical corner, opposite sides, building.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So that they would both be visible around the camera. What a weird coincidence. I didn't think about that before, but that's very ghostly.

Cristina: Like she's still. She's doing the same thing at the same time.

Jack: It would be very ghostly if it was in the same spot.

Cristina: Yes, that's true.

Jack: It. So it makes me so much more uncomfortable that this happened in two sides of the building. Because it would just be ghost story if it was in one spot.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And that's way easier to digest.

Cristina: It's two spots.

Jack: Yes. This story makes me so uncomfortable because of like the middle ground between science and paranormal that's happening.

Cristina: Okay, what happens next?

Jack: Well, following these events on the 28th.

Cristina: That'S what like two days later.

Jack: No, actually this is the 27th. Yes. So they both saw the female roaming, crying, chase to investigate, whatever. And the next day on the 27th, the same event happens here.

Cristina: Lady scream.

Jack: They see and they hear crying.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Except this time only Ollie investigates. He's still like, there's. There's something weird, man. He's getting f***** with. His head is not right. He's like, dude, I gotta see. While Gerald continues to work. He's like, I am clearly losing my mind. It is the late nights doing this to me. I'm just gonna put my head down, keep working and ignore it. July 28, Gerald is reported missing. And he is never f****** found again.

Cristina: He's the one that stayed working.

Jack: He's the one who kept working. He is never found again. There's no trace of this person either.

Cristina: It's like ghosts are trying to help them escape the aliens. Or something.

Jack: Something, something is f****** happening.

Cristina: Trying to get them out of the room.

Jack: It's trying to get them. Yes, that's my same conclusion. Exactly right. That's my exact conclusion. There's something trying to get them out because whatever is in the room with them is worse.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: It's a f***** up story, right?

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: I don't know what's happening. And it's. It's legitimately scary. I'm telling you. Like, this is an uneasy situation. I don't easily get scared. I was looking for science and I found just something really uncomfortable. Really ridiculously uncomfortable.

Cristina: Yeah. This is so crazy.

Jack: And it's like I don't. I really don't know what to think so far, man. Because it feels like you go outside and you're safe.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: If you don't, you're just gone.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The very first instant somebody's gone. The only person who didn't investigate. Everybody continues investigating regularly. They're perfectly fine. But the moment they stop, gone without a f****** trace. What the h*** is happening?

Cristina: I don't know. Okay, so what happens next? Cuz there's one more guy. I'm assuming there's this pattern forming. He's gonna disappear. Right.

Jack: Well, first I want to really just try to understand this. There are patterns, but let's review the events. We hear a female scream and we have Ollie and Gerald go and investigate. They see nothing. Or maybe they investigate. I have. No, no, see, here's the problem. Unless we have to assume. We have to assume they investigated the first time and just didn't report on that. But they have to report everything they do so they wouldn't.

Cristina: You Said they did investigate the scream. I thought the only one that didn't investigate the scream was a lady.

Jack: Was that. Okay, so they did investigate the scream, Right?

Cristina: Yeah, they did.

Jack: No, because I know they all heard the scream.

Cristina: They investigate. They didn't. The first thing that happened was some sound. And they didn't investigate the sound.

Jack: Yes, that. My bad. That's okay. That's what I was trying to get to screw the scream. The sound. Yes. You see, this is my point. This is immediately f******. Because I'm trying to wrap my head around all of it. The sound. None of them investigated the sound?

Cristina: No.

Jack: None of them were missing or they all investigated the sound, didn't report on it. But they have to. That's sort of the rule here. They have to report on it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Because everything else is reported on. We have to assume everything is reported on. The fact that there's no. Say I left my room and looked.

Cristina: Yeah. They just heard a sound, didn't investigate. Saw light, didn't investigate.

Jack: And nothing happened to them other than the first time with the sound. Them getting sick.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So the pattern. There's no real pattern here.

Cristina: No.

Jack: It feels like there is. And then like really you look at it and there isn't. Because nobody investigated the sound. As far as we know.

Cristina: But that's probably why they got sick.

Jack: Why didn't anybody missing?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: And why didn't the sickness ever get mentioned again?

Cristina: I don't know. That's true.

Jack: Why? Why do we have two missing people without a trace? But then before. No. Unless it's the fact that all three of them didn't. Maybe one at a time. Because that's what happened with the scream. One of them didn't and then went missing. Then following again. One of them didn't and went missing. It's the only pattern we have. Whatever's taking them couldn't, in theory take all of them simultaneously. It could only take the straggler.

Cristina: Yes. So that means the guy that's by himself. There's no way.

Jack: Because he's the only one.

Cristina: Because he's only. Unless he runs out if something weird happens again. Unless nothing weird is gonna happen.

Jack: But also the facility is compartmentalized. Other than them running and crossing paths, they don't know s*** about anybody else.

Cristina: No.

Jack: So they're not even getting filled in about this other crap. They don't know what the h*** is happening. They don't even know this other chick is just missing.

Cristina: They must know that.

Jack: No. It's a really top secret part of the facility, they work on really secretive stuff.

Cristina: So some secret experiment is on the loose.

Jack: I mean, I guess it could in theory be that, but it doesn't seem like they're working on some kind of creature of any sort. It seems like, you know, maybe medicine or some s***, and they're just not revealing what it is.

Cristina: I don't know, like, the place in Resident Evil was doing medicine.

Jack: Yeah, but these reports are, like, full reports. They would be talking about, oh, the creature got out or something. Like, somebody would know.

Cristina: Oh, someone else would write that.

Jack: Yeah, exactly. It would make sense to some. Like, at some point, Something like somebody would be like, oh, well, we're not gonna talk about this because, you know, it was the f****** monster we made.

Cristina: Yeah. Just.

Jack: Just erase the thing. So nobody knows, you know? But the logs are still there. There were people confused, trying to investigate, even working there.

Jack: But, like, what the h*** is going on? Then we have an instance of sounds. What the f*** are the sounds? None of you could determine the sounds? Okay, whatever. So some sound sounds, strange sounds. Literally one of the quotes is strange sounds. Like, that's as much as they can get your scientists. What the h***? Yeah, strange sounds, okay, but dizziness and.

Cristina: Nausea, how would that happen?

Jack: And, like, all three of you, how would that happen? How the f*** was the sound then?

Cristina: It was, I don't know, strange enough to get them sick. What?

Jack: Interesting enough. I wanted to investigate the sound and found kind of a lot of stories about people feeling nausea and dizziness in different scenarios following a strange sound.

Cristina: Oh, my God.

Jack: Unrelated to this, just some whole other. I was like, what kind of sounds could cause that? And in typing, like, okay, sound that can cause dizziness and nausea.

Cristina: So it's a common thing?

Jack: Well, no, it's just all other weird.

Cristina: Oh, it's just weird stories?

Jack: Yeah, it was just weird, like, Reddit stories and s***. People like hearing sounds and then, oh, I'm sick suddenly. But these professional scientists all kind of wrote the same thing in, like, an official log, which then makes me question, like, these people on Reddit aren't that crazy. Maybe they really experience that s***, and we're just over here like, you're a f****** nutjob. But then these scientists are like, no, that really happened.

Cristina: But we can't even compare the sound with because we don't know what the f*** the sound is.

Jack: Weirdly enough, in these Reddit f****** stories, the same instant, a totally anomalous, indistinguishable sound leads to the nausea and dissonance.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: They cannot tell what the sound is, but neither can these scientists. But the result is the same sickness or something. Yes.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: My question is why this and then no result? And why the flash and no result? The only pattern is one of them didn't get involved.

Cristina: Yeah, so far that seems like the only pattern.

Jack: Yeah, but also, let's say ghosts. Then what the h*** with the sound and what the h*** with the flash? That's so alien.

Cristina: I don't know. Are you sure? I feel like if we investigate some.

Jack: Ghost stories, we'd find flashing lights and weird sounds. Yeah, probably. Yeah, yeah, yeah, probably. But then the problem with a ghost is the echo nature of it. It shouldn't be in three places at once. It should be in one spot repeating the same s***. Yeah, that kills the ghostliness.

Cristina: That's very strange.

Jack: Creepy a** story, right? Yeah, it's so messed up. Okay, so on the 28th, Gerald is reported missing and he is never heard of again. His report, just like Stephanie's, ends with him working, finishing the workday.

Cristina: That's it?

Jack: That's it. Just no more Gerald.

Cristina: Whoa. What's happening? Doesn't like you would expect that it would happen instantly, but no, they still finish the day off like nothing.

Jack: On the 29th, nothing. Nothing happened.

Cristina: Nothing happened.

Jack: Nothing happened. We have a bunch of days back to back, and then they have nothing.

Cristina: How long until something happens?

Jack: The 30th. Two days later.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: On July 30th, a police report states a call came from Bioventus facility from an Ollie Austin claiming that the power to the building. It's a science facility, very important. It has backup generators.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: The power to the building was cut off. Should not have happened to the entire building.

Cristina: To the entire building.

Jack: To the entire building. And then he was attacked. Everything got pitch black. Dark, dark, dark, dark. He can't see s***. And he was attacked.

Cristina: He told them he was attacked.

Jack: He told them he was attacked. And his lab was destroyed, but nothing was stolen.

Cristina: He lived, though, or did he disappear?

Jack: He's totally fine. He was just beat up.

Cristina: They got there, but the lights were working, weren't they?

Jack: When they got there, the lights were fine.

Cristina: The lights were fine. So he imagined it. Not imagined it, but what he was experiencing. The rest of the building wasn't like all the other events.

Jack: Yes.

Cristina: These events are just happening to him.

Jack: Yes, yes, yes. Because later questioning of the janitor's report, none of this ever took place. Yeah, they didn't experience anything.

Cristina: And there's no way to know if there was anything in that room that destroyed it. It just Looks like he did it.

Jack: Yes. And the cameras, again, that did exist at no moment cut off and did not see any power outage.

Cristina: Okay, I didn't see him being attacked or anything, but he was in the room while it happened.

Jack: He was in the room while it happened?

Cristina: Yes, while it happened. He didn't hear a sound or flash or anything.

Jack: No lights go out. Something f***** him up.

Cristina: And the whole room.

Jack: Yeah, something destroyed that room. S*** was thrown everywhere and broken everywhere.

Cristina: But when they investigate, like how he's hurt and whatever, does it look like he did it to himself or does it look like he was attacked?

Jack: It looks like he was attacked. Okay, now because here's the craziest part about this. Why the. Why his work?

Cristina: What is his work?

Jack: What is his work? At no point is it specified what his work is. Again, there's a bunch of classified s*** happening in there.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Now we come back to what you were talking about. I don't think something broke out, but definitely they were working on something maybe they shouldn't have and something with much more power decided, this is probably a bad idea. Now I kind of come back to aliens. But then, what the f*** is with the crying lady? Now the sounds and the flashing lights are just aliens. Like, stop f****** doing what you're doing. But then what's up with the lady? Yeah, and if they're all working on different things, what the f***?

Cristina: Why are they being attacked?

Jack: Why did two of them go missing? And why was his lab destroyed?

Cristina: Yeah, but does he end up going missing? Is this the end of the story? This isn't.

Jack: No, this isn't the end of the story. He's perfectly fine other than getting beat up. I said he's totally fine.

Cristina: He's still gonna work late, though. After this moment, he's like, yeah, whatever. I survived. I'm gonna continue working late.

Jack: Sure, why not?

Cristina: What?

Jack: Sure, why not?

Cristina: Sure, why not?

Jack: Yeah, of course he didn't go back to the building. What? Of course. That's crazy.

Cristina: Okay? Wondering, like, all these other events and he was like, whatever, I' continue working.

Jack: Yeah, but now he got. He has physical proof.

Cristina: Okay. And then he finally stops.

Jack: Yeah, obviously no human after that point is gonna be, like, nuts. Totally in my head. I'm going back to my facility. What is he gonna work on if his s*** is destroyed? Yeah, what is he going back to? Nothing. There's nothing. There's nothing. It's all destroyed. His lab is destroyed. He got beat up. There's no reason for him to go back. Except he does. But not Even the work. Because on August 3, a police report claims that.

Cristina: What did he do? He burned the building. Now.

Jack: Well, he called claiming he was being followed. Oh, yeah.

Cristina: And his. Before he got to the building or when he went back to the building? Like, why did he go back to the building?

Jack: Well, that's unclear until we get to August 4th, where there's a police report claiming that they got a call from Bioventus, from one of the janitors. Okay, this is where this breaks down so hard, and I'm traumatized.

Cristina: Oh, my gosh.

Jack: So Ollie Austin is found dead. He's not missing. He's found dead.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: Totally mutilated, but he did it to himself. He's covered in blood, and his notes are written on the walls, crazy person style, okay? In scientific notation using both pencil and blood. And his own blood, of course. Yep. What the f***?

Cristina: And the two other bodies? No, there's no.

Jack: There's no other bodies.

Cristina: Oh, okay. Like, I thought eventually they'd find those bodies.

Jack: No, no, no. I said specifically. These people were never found.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: They were never found. They cease to exist to this day.

Cristina: I don't understand why he was different.

Jack: I don't understand either. I don't understand why any situ. There's no pattern.

Cristina: There really is no pattern.

Jack: There's no pattern. Random horror s*** going on.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: What the f*** is happening in this building, bro?

Cristina: Yeah. Did anyone piece what he was writing or whatever?

Jack: It's just his notes. It's just the work he was doing.

Cristina: Just work. Oh, okay.

Jack: Just the work he was doing what?

Cristina: In his room, though, in the hallway? Like, where was he found exactly?

Jack: He was found in his lab.

Cristina: In his lab, which.

Jack: There was no reason for him to go back. There was nothing in his lab. It was all destroyed.

Cristina: When he was being followed. He was calling from the building, though.

Jack: I'm unclear on that. It just says that. There's a report saying that he was being followed. I think headed towards the building.

Cristina: Oh, okay.

Jack: We're leaving the building. I'm not entirely sure it was the previous day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, Ollie's last log from this night claimed to have met a fellow scientist.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Again, this story makes me so uncomfortable. Keep in mind, there's no reason for him to be in the building.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: There's no reason for him to make a log.

Cristina: But he does.

Jack: But he does. On the fourth, he makes a log like nothing happened. Normal. Just normal. Everyday thing.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Ollie's last log claims that he met a Stephanie Ramirez in the hallways and that was it. That's the lady who went missing.

Cristina: I know that. I know that, but. And.

Jack: And they both searched for the source of a scream. The end.

Cristina: The end.

Jack: The end.

Cristina: That's such a horror story.

Jack: So he met somebody who was missing that he had never met before.

Cristina: No.

Jack: Looked for a scream with her. With her. That is very similar to what he experienced with Gerald.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: He doesn't report whether you found anything or anything. It's just. He's just found f****** self mutilated dead. There's nobody else of these two individuals ever found. Janitors experienced anything. Camera' caught nothing. The end.

Cristina: It makes no sense.

Jack: Incredibly uneasy. This story makes me.

Cristina: That's the end of the story.

Jack: That's the end of the story. There's nothing else on this.

Cristina: I don't understand.

Jack: I don't understand either.

Cristina: And people still work at this building. This building's still a building that's being used to do stuff in.

Jack: Yeah. So on official reports, this is put down. Now the two missing people are again, there's no body, there's no nothing. There's different claims. There's no death.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: So whatever. Scientists working on crazy s***, they run away all the time. Maybe they're working on something they shouldn't have. Whatever. So these reports are easy. The Ollie one, you know, scientist loses his mind, you know, takes his own life type s***. Okay, so none of the other scientists who also don't know any of the other scientists other than the people who work in their respective labs have anything to fear about coming back to work. It looks on paper like scientists down the hall working on something crazy went crazy. Typical science. Okay, the people, this, Ali's personal team, they have their own notes. They just rebuild and work.

Cristina: Okay, well, but like after this, no one stayed late in that building. These are the only scientists who ever stay late in that building.

Jack: There were other scientists that stayed late around this period. Is just these three people.

Cristina: Just these three people that experienced these events?

Jack: No, it's just these three people who are single at the point where these events were happening.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: July and August of 2012.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Only these three sciences were regularly sting late.

Cristina: Interesting.

Jack: And obviously before and after crap ton of scientists, I'm sure have stayed late. But there's nothing if they have, there's nothing related to this.

Cristina: I don't understand what this story is.

Jack: I don't either. The fact that it's so unclear is what makes it horrible, horrifying. We can't just be like, oh, it's a ghost. That's what's scary about the story.

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

Jack: Yeah, it's. I don't know where to point. I don't know what to think. That's what makes it so uneasy. Was it aliens? Was it. Was it ghosts? What the h*** is going on?

Cristina: Yes. Like he sees the girl and she's like, hey, I heard that sound too.

Jack: Yes. What now? Who. What the. Is the girl sound? What's the screaming woman thing?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: So many parts. Flashing lights, anomalous sounds, screaming. Two missing people and a person who hurt themselves after they were attacked and the lab was destroyed. What is the line that cuts through all of this?

Cristina: Is there an. I don't know. There's no explanation.

Jack: Just random s*** that happens for two months.

Cristina: That's so weird because there's other people there too. The janitors, you say? And nothing.

Jack: The janitors were in the building late.

Cristina: Yeah. And nothing.

Jack: Nothing.

Cristina: What could have happened?

Jack: And the theories just conspiracy nonsense. And the official explanations are for this, for Ollie is that scientists went crazy. And for Stephanie and Gerald are they potentially ran away because they're working on some thing that they shouldn't have or they stole data to go sell or whatever the case because it's again, a bunch of classified stuff. And this kind of stuff typically happens where somebody takes a thing. You could sell it for a crap ton of money. Just leave the country, give to like China or something. There's a bunch of that going on.

Cristina: I don't know. I don't know. This is such a weird story. So weird. No good explanation.

Jack: No good explanation.

Cristina: What? It's just so weird. Just trying to understand the story is hard.

Jack: Yeah, it's weird and choppy. There's no, like, what does this have to relate with that. Yeah, that's all we need to do in this.

Cristina: This. Holes everywhere.

Jack: Yes, exactly. If. If one thing was consistent.

Cristina: The time is consistent.

Jack: The time is consistent. But what the h*** does that mean?

Cristina: Does that mean.

Jack: What the h*** does that mean?

Cristina: Alien.

Jack: What is 8:32? Well, no, the time is very ghost. Aliens do crap at the same time. Ghost do, because echo, it's the same thing at the same time. That checks out with ghost and the like crying lady. Very typical ghost s***.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Even the scream. We could chalk off the ghost s***.

Cristina: Yeah, a lot of it is ghostly. But at the same time. No, because it's all happening at the same time.

Jack: Yes, but like, I think this leans harder to ghosts than anything else too.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Like we have to say we have to break some ghost rules here. In order to keep a ghost. The fact that it's not an isolated direction, but rather somehow outside everybody's door. I don't know why, but it's. It's the case.

Cristina: Yeah. Just a ghost that's doing the same thing to everyone around it first. But only specifically these three scientists.

Jack: Yes, because that's weird. Yes, because the janitor's there too.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And a ghost wouldn't give a. With somebody working on. Yeah, like, unless these things led to somebody's death. Interesting.

Cristina: That could be something.

Jack: And then this is a revenge ghost. But again, all three. It breaks down because all three projects are different.

Cristina: That's true.

Jack: They aren't working on the same thing.

Cristina: But it only happens in the room.

Jack: And it only happens in the room. Nothing happens outside the room.

Cristina: Except when he met Stephanie. That was outside the room.

Jack: Yes. And when they followed the girl around the corner. Yes, that happened inside the room.

Cristina: They saw her, but they weren't in the hallway at the same time as her. At least I don't think, like they saw her turn that corner. But they weren't, were they? Did they?

Jack: Okay, fair enough. Fair enough. I'm assuming they saw her turn the corner, but they actually saw her walk past her door and they run outside. And there's only one direction she could have gone around the corner.

Cristina: Yeah. So it seems like so far everything.

Jack: Has happened from inside the room.

Cristina: Yes. Except for that last part.

Jack: Unless they never left the room.

Cristina: Unless he never left the room.

Jack: Unless he never left the room.

Cristina: Which makes also sense.

Jack: That means he's going crazy in that room. Which would also explain the self mutilation. And he tore apart the room.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So the assumption here is none of this is happening. All of this is in their head. Easy to say ghost. Easy to say alien because you don't need anything else. It's all in their heads.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: But then the problem again, everything has. There's a hole being poked by the story at all times. Yes, because what the h*** happens to the other two?

Cristina: I don't know.

Jack: Why? What decided who gets taken and how? So if none of them really ran outside, because it's all happening in their heads, why did she go first? Why did he go second? Why didn't he go at all? There's like, rules and the rules break themselves.

Cristina: Yes. Yes. Like, some of it makes sense, but then. Yeah, it doesn't make sense, really.

Jack: No, it doesn't. This is probably the most horrifying thing I've ever read because of how confusing it is. It's kind of like when you first watch Paranormal Activity without knowing that it's totally bullshit.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And you're like, what the f*** is happening? It can't.

Cristina: It feels like it's happening in their rooms, though. But it's weird because none of their rooms are next to each other, either exact. Well, that's the only explanation. It's just something that's in the room.

Jack: Yes. Now, when Geralt and Ollie ran outside their rooms. Here's the problem. They logged that and they talked to each other. They met the other person.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: Alternatively, maybe they f****** didn't because Ollie met somebody who's been missing.

Cristina: That's true. So they might not have met each other.

Jack: You see why this story immediately gets even more uneasy?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Then if he didn't meet Geralt when he ran outside and Geralt didn't meet Ollie, what the f*** did they see? Because it's just as likely that it wasn't. Because, again, Ollie met Stephanie, who's been missing. So you didn't really need Stephanie for Ollie to meet Stephanie, which means you don't really need Geralt for Ollie.

Cristina: They might not have ever left the room.

Jack: Never left the room.

Cristina: It's just like that's where their mind took them. If that's what's happening. But who knows?

Jack: But, you know, they could have just been going crazy and there's something making them go crazy.

Cristina: Whatever that first event was that made them feel sick.

Jack: Yes. Interesting angle to take, because maybe there's some toxin in the building. But again, the problem is it's. Janitor. Yes. Maybe there's vents. No, because it would lead everywhere. Vents would lead everywhere. Why would the vents only lead to their rooms and not to the hallways?

Cristina: That's true. Maybe this is some revenge story. Maybe there is this evil scientist guy who's like, I gotta get rid of these scientist people.

Jack: It could totally be. It could totally be that they are being poisoned. Because again, it seems to be happening in their rooms.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: So something could have been put in their rooms. But then why three different scientists working on different things? These three scientists must have had a connection to one individual.

Cristina: Yes, because they are working with each other. Even if they're not really working with each other, they're.

Jack: They work for the same company.

Cristina: Yes, that's it. Yes. But there's gotta be some connection. They know each other. Not know each other, but, like, by. Like, I know this scientist who knows that scientist who knows that one who knows you.

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: They have connected in some way.

Jack: Yeah, like seven degrees of separation.

Cristina: Exactly. So there has to be someone that knows all three of them.

Jack: I guess. But then what's up with that?

Cristina: I don't know. Because we still have two people that are missing.

Jack: Yes. We got two people that are missing. This story is messed up because a guy met somebody who's missing, which takes away. No. Okay. No, it can't be. It can't be. It can't be. And I'm gonna tell you why this is broken. We're not even thinking about it. And it's the most obvious part. How is he gonna go crazy and report the exact name of somebody missing who he's never met?

Cristina: He has to have heard about the name. There's no way he didn't hear about the missing people in the building. Even if he doesn't know those people, there's no way no one was talking about the missing people.

Jack: Okay, let me break this conclusion for you. How did Gerald meet Ollie and Ollie meet Gerald and they report having met each other.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: You see the problem?

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: There was nobody missing out of those two.

Cristina: No.

Jack: They were in the building at the.

Cristina: Same time they were.

Jack: And they allegedly met.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: According to their own notes.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: And they confirm each other by name. Did they not meet? And how the f*** did they get the name? Right. But that means they did leave the rooms. Unless they didn't. But how the h*** did they. So then we're back to ghost. How is this ghost pretending to be the opposite person being in the room? And like, what's happening in the room?

Cristina: Or if it's aliens and they're not really in the hallways in those moments, but like in the spaceship next to each other. They just don't know it.

Jack: Oh. Oh, I didn't think about that at all. This is during the abduction. The whole everything is happening in the building is also part of the illusion.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: They made up the building in your mind after they took you out of it.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Or before they took you out of it. They project the building. They take you. You don't realize you're gone. And maybe you're connected to a Matrix esque thing that's showing you the building.

Cristina: Man, that kind of makes sense.

Jack: Yeah. So then we're back to. You see how crazy this is? And it jumps from aliens to go back and forth and it's like we don't know what the h***'s going on.

Cristina: Well. But the alien ones kind of make sense. Yeah.

Jack: Now we're starting to ground it a little. Right? Yeah. We're bringing our job. Look, the Internet has struggled with this one, we're bringing it home.

Cristina: But they brought it to aliens, too.

Jack: They brought it to aliens. Yeah. That was the main conclusion. Everybody went to aliens.

Cristina: It's hard because. Yeah, like aliens. Because, yes, they. They're doing more than just taking you to their ship. They've got. If they got technology to have a ship in the first place, they can have an illusion.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah. They can have a super. So the fact that they traversed space at all, they have a super sophisticated projection that could convince the f*** out of you, there's no question.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: They need enough energy to traverse space.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: They can convincingly project the universe.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: They have to be able to. That's way less energy. It takes way less energy to do that. You just gotta fool somebody's senses. That's it.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah. So.

Jack: And maybe the weird sound and the weird flashes are. Because Maybe it's not a. Maybe it's not a perfect illusion.

Cristina: Okay.

Jack: These are just the cracks.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: The glitches here and there.

Cristina: Yeah. And the lady screaming could have been stuffing it. She just didn't know.

Jack: Yes. Yes. And somehow the feedback came back to her too.

Cristina: Yeah. Yeah. Because she's also in some weird. Whatever they're in. In that moment.

Jack: Yes. Yes.

Cristina: Feel right? I don't know.

Jack: I don't know. Well, point is, the s*** makes me hella uneasy. It's so weird. It's a very horrifying story.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: What, and it had nothing to do with science?

Cristina: No.

Jack: This story was me trying to replicate the cola. Super deep borehole. And, you know, weird science crap, I can investigate. But no, it didn't take me to weird science crap. It took me to scientists experiencing weird crap.

Cristina: The weirdest.

Jack: The weirdest, weirdest crap. And also, no. It's so tame. But something about the tameness is more horrible.

Cristina: It builds up to something horrifying.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah, it definitely escalated with time.

Cristina: Yeah. Like that ending. What?

Jack: Yeah.

Cristina: Also the missing people and, like, haunting itself.

Jack: Why did he meet a missing person? Why did he meet a missing person? Why did he paint the walls with his equations? That's another, like, weird. Like, what, dude?

Cristina: Because he was still working. I guess it makes it feel like aliens. Feels like he.

Jack: He's on autopilot.

Cristina: Yes.

Jack: Oh, there's nothing in the lab. So he's still working. Malfunction. That's so much scarier, bro. Like, his body is still. But that means he's still in the room and not connected to some s***.

Cristina: Yeah, because he malfunctioned. They put something in him. They investigate that body okay, so the.

Jack: Theory here would be the events happened of him getting abducted and whatever. And then they put him back. But they put him back broken. And then he continued to work on nothing.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: And covered the walls with his blood and pencil notations of all his equations.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Because he's broken now.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: And he killed him. I don't know why he killed himself in the process, but. Because he's broken.

Cristina: Because he's broken. Yeah. And they probably killed the other two. I don't know why. Or maybe they're not dead. No, because he saw her. So he might have saw her. Seen her when he was up there with them.

Jack: Yes. So they're just missing. They got abducted. Why didn't he? Why was he useless?

Cristina: Because he was broken. That's why they put him back. And then he killed himself.

Jack: There was something already wrong with him that they could tell.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: While the other two. There was nothing wrong with them. They could keep these. These are the good hosts. Let's keep them. That guy's no good. Return him, and then that whole thing happens. Yeah, I guess. I guess it checks out to some degree. I guess the Internet figured it out then. Tin foil hat was the way to go.

Cristina: Yeah, maybe.

Jack: I mean, it's the closest.

Cristina: It's the closest. I guess. Like, it's just such random.

Jack: Yes, it's. But if we talk glitch. And so the first couple of instances are just a. Faulty. They're establishing. They're starting to establish the signal that's gonna trap these people. That's why nobody went missing initially. You know, there's a couple of days between one point and another at the beginning, and then. Okay, consecutive days of crap happening, and the aliens are consistently picking at them, and then. Oh, no, that one's faulty. We can't seem to work around his problems. Leave that guy.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: The other two people must have been fine. But also, why do you need one at a time? Why is it only the one who stayed behind?

Cristina: Why is the only one that stayed behind?

Jack: Yeah. When she stayed behind, she got abducted. When he stayed behind, he got abducted. But then there's only one person. He's the last one. Did they want the people who didn't give a f***? She only got taken once she stopped. Well, she never gave a f***.

Cristina: Mm.

Jack: Or was too scared to do anything. And boom. Scooped up the other guy when he investigated. Nothing. But when he didn't. Gone. Why is it necessary that they don't? There's so many f****** holes, man.

Cristina: Maybe he was just not ready. Maybe they were Experimenting on them and like it didn't really matter who came first or not. Like they could have done it all at the same time.

Jack: It just happened to be coincidence that she stayed, then he stayed.

Cristina: Yeah, but maybe. I don't know. It's so weird. I don't know. There's so much weirdness happening.

Jack: Yep. So that's the Bioventus missing person's case.

Cristina: What?

Jack: Yep.

Cristina: What? Not even that long ago, huh?

Jack: Not even that long ago. 2012. Well, 10 years ago.

Cristina: 10 years ago. Yeah. But stuff could happen like that again in that place. There's gonna be another scientist who's gonna stay.

Jack: There have been scientists who stayed late. Oh, this has only happened in that period, then over again. And some of this is piece from police reports. So. Yeah. Interesting.

Cristina: No, very interesting.

Jack: Very strange and very horrifying. One of the few things that has made me uneasy and it's because it's hard to like follow, sit together. It's so problematic.

Cristina: There's a story there. It's just like, what?

Jack: What is. Yeah, there's clearly a story. What is it? You know, that's real question.

Cristina: It's really happening. Is there something really happening?

Jack: I don't know, but yeah. So what do you think? Crazy, right?

Cristina: That is crazy. I don't understand.

Jack: Neither do I. So look, you've got a couple of creepy things here and there, you know, there's my breakdown of my personal creepy experiences relative to Clinton Road and trying to understand that and like bubble universes and whatever. So you can find all that stuff. We've got. There's a. Actually this is right up our alley. There's a bunch of horror s*** all over the place and a bunch of like weird instances and crap everywhere and creatures and like whatever you find all of that. All that. And if you need clips and crap, if you want to talk to us, you want to ask us questions or you want to have a converse, maybe you know something about this. Like, fill us. Fill in the blanks for us. You can find us to have those conversations on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram at justconvopod.

Cristina: Remember to subscribe and review the show.

Jack: Yes. Do all those things. Mainly review the show. Leave us some stars.

Cristina: Yes. And emojis. Always ghosts.

Jack: Yeah. Or alien.

Cristina: Or alien. I guess. Whichever you think happened.

Jack: Yeah, I guess I don't even.

Cristina: Ghosts coming out of alien ships. I don't know. Yeah, it's both. Alien. Ghost. Yeah.

Jack: And you know, let someone who might like the show know about it. Tell them, tell them if they like weird mysteries, if they like solving mysteries. This is like the mother of mysteries, bro.

Cristina: This is an unsolvable mystery.

Jack: This is unsolvable as h*** because there's too many parts missing.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: We literally don't have witnesses. We have footage saying none of this has ever happened. We got people in the building simultaneously who didn't experience any of it. And once the people left their rooms, they also had nothing to claim. Yeah, only while in their rooms. So, like, there's too many pieces missing. But if your homies like to solve mysteries, this is up there with, like, big problems to solve that you say like Bigfoot.

Cristina: Okay, I guess that's.

Jack: That's an overpowered mystery that no one has ever solved.

Cristina: Yeah, solve that one, too. This has been the right rambling podcast. Take nothing personal, and thanks for listening. Bye. Tiny.

Jack: It's about the size, relatively speaking. Our actual planet size is about the size that Puerto Rico is to Earth is all we are to all of us. To the entire planet. Yes. So what Puerto Rico on our maps is to our observable planet is the size of the us to the actual planet.

Cristina: Man, I wish I could see that. That's a really ridiculous picture.

Jack: Crazy visual. Yeah. But it's more or less that same. It is a globe we're on. Like, the Earth isn't flat, it's round.

Cristina: Yeah.

Jack: But the part of it that we exist on is quite arguably pretty flat, considering how much you got to go before you hit curvature, because it's so.

Cristina: It's so tiny.

Jack: It's a small section of something huge. So the curvature is so vastly flat that you wouldn't be able to tell.

Cristina: Good morning. Good morning. The podcast is hosted by Christina Collazo and Jack Thomas, produced by Lynn Taylor and published by greatthoughts.info art by Zero Lupo and logo by Seth McCallister with social media managed by Amber Black.
