Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it was when he did that a
Speaker 1: cappella rap where he was like and he's orange.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Do you think his beard is real or do you
Speaker 2: think that's a hair transplant?
Speaker 1: I think he and Jalen Rose go to the same person.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you know who Jalen Rose is.
Speaker 1: He is a former great college basketball player, very good
Speaker 1: at NBA player, and one of the great commentators. And
Speaker 1: he has he has a hairline that he's he's always had,
Speaker 1: like a great head of hair, and then lately it's
Speaker 1: beginning to look painted on it in a way that
Speaker 1: is Oh yes, yeah.
Speaker 3: I saw his line up on Twitters.
Speaker 1: His lineup is a little too too good to be
Speaker 1: true at this point.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he looks a little bit like a lego man
Speaker 6: in some sometimes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little just like just.
Speaker 1: Take it off, put it on.
Speaker 2: Uh, he's handsome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very handsome man.
Speaker 3: Painted on hair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that picture.
Speaker 1: But I believe you Eminem's beard has a lot in
Speaker 1: common with when hul Cogan came back as Hollywood hul
Speaker 1: Cogan and had a weird beard that like didn't match
Speaker 1: his face and it was just like, it doesn't Why
Speaker 1: does he have paint on his face? But I think
Speaker 1: it's I think it's real. It's just we had never
Speaker 1: seen him even with a whisker or something. And then
Speaker 1: it's just like the coloration or something.
Speaker 3: Oh it does look crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So today's podcast is all about hanging.
Speaker 7: Out Google, googling shit, Google facial hair and yeah, why what?
Speaker 7: Why is something from your search history? But also what
Speaker 7: is something from your search history that's revealing.
Speaker 1: About who you are?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 8: Man, it's so embarrassing the things I add. But uh
Speaker 8: at the questions, like I just typed in who what where?
Speaker 8: Will I like to see what? Like the last few
Speaker 8: the how I asked was how many thoughts does a
Speaker 8: human have a day?
Speaker 4: And oh, that's a good question.
Speaker 8: What I was thinking like three or four hundred in
Speaker 8: my head and it's seventy thousand, isn't that crazy?
Speaker 9: Seventy crazy?
Speaker 4: Thirty five thousand of them are about the left breast,
Speaker 4: and fifty five thousand are about the right.
Speaker 9: That's a lot.
Speaker 1: I remember when I was young, and I think I
Speaker 1: heard this actually on a radio show where someone was like,
Speaker 1: the average man thinks about sex every like forty seconds,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, no, I'm not thinking about
Speaker 1: sex every like enough.
Speaker 9: But you are.
Speaker 3: You are.
Speaker 8: You don't even realize it to suit your thirty five
Speaker 8: thoughts down the line.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm not even aware of all these
Speaker 1: thoughts that are happening, if that many thoughts are happening,
Speaker 1: or my brain is far slower than everybody else's, because
Speaker 1: that seems too.
Speaker 4: Had seventy thousand seems so inaccurate, but like I think
Speaker 4: it is, but I'm compelled to believe it, and just
Speaker 4: more believe the fact that our brains are so turned
Speaker 4: off that we don't we don't even remember all the
Speaker 4: thoughts we're having, Like you'll forget the thoughts you had
Speaker 4: a minute later.
Speaker 8: Probably, well, if you think about the thought you just
Speaker 8: that's another one, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 8: You don't have time to register every thought as a
Speaker 8: thought and clock it so like, But like I was
Speaker 8: thinking about it, like every day I wake up and
Speaker 8: I'm like, I have to peel a little bit can
Speaker 8: I go back to sleep?
Speaker 9: Maybe the so like.
Speaker 1: Every station counts as a thought, that's it. That's interesting.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it must because that's a I mean.
Speaker 8: And then you like like when you're talking to people,
Speaker 8: you'll be like, boy, he's talking for a little while,
Speaker 8: and then you're like looking at like, man, he missed
Speaker 8: that there's one big long hair over there next to
Speaker 8: his ear.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you can't get it. There's too many.
Speaker 1: There's a lot that seems like too many thoughts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it does seem like according to Discover magazine, which is
Speaker 1: just a web page, and who knows if it's any
Speaker 1: more trustworthy than the source you were using. I have
Speaker 1: to assume Kalbo is Yahoo answers right.
Speaker 8: Oh, Cora, I only trust the royal shit yes or no?
Speaker 8: It's Jeeves Jeeves you did Jeeves knows all. But that
Speaker 8: like this Discover article is like this is actually disputed
Speaker 8: and some people call it a myth. But the other example,
Speaker 8: the other number they give are also crazy, Like I'm
Speaker 8: my brain doesn't work in a way where I can
Speaker 8: just like they're like, actually, some people think it's only
Speaker 8: fifteen thousand, and like my brain, that doesn't fifteen thousand
Speaker 8: and seventy thousand are the same number in my brain
Speaker 8: like that, Yeah, my brain doesn't know that.
Speaker 9: I was literally thinking hundreds in the hundreds.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean I would yeah, I would
Speaker 4: probably think like and I would think in the thousands
Speaker 4: just because hundreds is.
Speaker 9: But the funny thing is I googled it and told
Speaker 9: my girlfriend.
Speaker 8: She was like, yeah, like you'd never heard that, but
Speaker 8: she goes, that sounds right, and then she was like,
Speaker 8: I don't think you have seven.
Speaker 9: I think you have like one thousand.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, thanks, babe, thanks, Yeah, maybe.
Speaker 4: Well, I like faulted me, sweetheart.
Speaker 1: He actually once said that to me about because I, like,
Speaker 1: I was a philosophy major and they were a philosophy major,
Speaker 1: and their theory was that people who study philosophy are
Speaker 1: like who are interested in philosophy, like their brains actually
Speaker 1: are just slower than other people's brains, so like our
Speaker 1: we like stop and ruminate on like dumb bullshit for
Speaker 1: longer than other people, which kind of made sense to me.
Speaker 1: I do think my brain is slower than most brains. Yeah.
Speaker 8: That was the only class that didn't fail in college
Speaker 8: was philosophy. Like, I just make shit up.
Speaker 1: We got that slow brain. You got that good slow brain. Like,
Speaker 1: let's brag about it, like it's a good thing.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm like an old train. Yeah not fast, but
Speaker 8: I I'll get there.
Speaker 1: Take our sweet ass time getting where.
Speaker 4: We're gonna just rewatch the movie, uh, Lucy, I think
Speaker 4: was the name of it was Carleton. Yeah, yeah, where
Speaker 4: like she drugs herself up or some shit or or
Speaker 4: something happens, and yeah, she has the ability to unlock
Speaker 4: more than ten percent of her brain. And I was
Speaker 4: just thinking of that, like and like that whole ten
Speaker 4: percent of your brain thing is been proven by scientific
Speaker 4: methods to be somewhat of a myth. But you don't
Speaker 4: use like it's not our brains don't work, Like you
Speaker 4: only use ten percent of that Like.
Speaker 1: You use ten percent at a time, is it?
Speaker 4: I think it is right?
Speaker 1: So like you yeah, you like what one time when
Speaker 1: you're like typing, you're using that part of your brain.
Speaker 1: But if you if you tried to use all of
Speaker 1: your brain all at the same time, you would just
Speaker 1: like have a seizure and soil yourself. You know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like that's just not According to Lucy, you would
Speaker 4: be able to bend spoons and uh right, you know.
Speaker 8: I'll just bend the spoon like if I had, if
Speaker 8: my mind could do shit, I'm not wasting it been
Speaker 8: in a spoon.
Speaker 1: Well, it's like being like you only use ten percent
Speaker 1: of your computer keyboard, and it's like, yeah, at a time,
Speaker 1: I'm using one letter at a time, and like if
Speaker 1: I tried to use them all at the same time,
Speaker 1: it wouldn't work. Be gipperish, so well, yeah it would
Speaker 1: be gibberish. But yeah, Lucy and Limitless. There's a handful
Speaker 1: of movies that seem like they're all in the genre
Speaker 1: of metaphor for writer who just tried cocaine or amphetamines
Speaker 1: for the first time, Like they're just like, whoa, what
Speaker 1: is this just keeps getting better and better? What if
Speaker 1: I just yeah, it's like that, you know.
Speaker 8: Rob Hayes has that bit where he's like, if you
Speaker 8: used all your brain, all your thoughts would be like.
Speaker 9: Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, your heart.
Speaker 1: We have a new show from this guy, David Eagleman,
Speaker 1: who's like the foremost neuroscientist in America. He's like a
Speaker 1: Stanford scientist. He wrote this book The reason I reached
Speaker 1: out to him in the first place is he wrote
Speaker 1: this book Incognito, and the book is all about like
Speaker 1: how we like most of what like our conscious mind
Speaker 1: is like just this little like pinhole view on what's
Speaker 1: happening in our brain, and like our brain is doing,
Speaker 1: you know, at any moment, it's doing nine hundred things
Speaker 1: that we're like not aware of, like you know, like
Speaker 1: pumping our heart causing us to breathe, and we just
Speaker 1: have this like tiny little pinhole view and then and
Speaker 1: then there's all these mental processes that are happening in
Speaker 1: the background and then like rise to the surface once
Speaker 1: they're Yeah, that exactly right. I want to be mostly unconscious.
Speaker 8: They're going to offer that soon. Yeah, you use less
Speaker 8: of your brain, yes, Like yeah, let's let somebody else
Speaker 8: live this life.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's what our phones do for us, right,
Speaker 1: is use Yeah, just use less of our brain.
Speaker 4: I've guests hosted a lot on the show and also
Speaker 4: have guessed it on the show. Probably the best that's
Speaker 4: probably google search one that I've heard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was pretty good one.
Speaker 9: Yeah, man, I'm googling my ass off over here.
Speaker 1: What is uh, what is something that you think is overrated.
Speaker 10: Basil plants, the kind that you buy in the grocery store. Yeah,
Speaker 10: those are so overrated, and I hate buying them because
Speaker 10: then I feel obligated to keep it alive when I
Speaker 10: just want to kill it. Anyways, Oh my god. Well
Speaker 10: I use basil a lot in my cooking. But then
Speaker 10: like they give you the little soil and then you
Speaker 10: have the stems and it's sad, but it just feels
Speaker 10: so wasteful because nine times out of ten dies almost immediately.
Speaker 1: Right right, Yeah, I've never I don't think I've ever
Speaker 1: bought one of the ones that's in soil. It seems
Speaker 1: like too much of a commitment for it seems like
Speaker 1: like a real step up from you know, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: spice shopping and they're like, here, how about a lifelong commitment.
Speaker 10: To Yeah, that's how I feel. But I can't just
Speaker 10: find them in bunches anymore, not like time or Rosemary.
Speaker 10: It it has to all be in the soil. Maybe
Speaker 10: it's the stores that I'm by, but I can't find
Speaker 10: just already massacred plants for my benefit.
Speaker 11: That's what you need from the crows is get them
Speaker 11: to train them to bring you basil.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: But see also, like how long does it take for
Speaker 11: like a leaf to grow? Because if you like use
Speaker 11: all your basil leafs off your plant and then the
Speaker 11: next day you're like, well, I have to wait like
Speaker 11: another three months or something.
Speaker 1: Me and this basil plant aren't on the same schedule.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it seems like exactly.
Speaker 10: I have like three right now in my kitchen, just
Speaker 10: like sitting in cups. So I'm hopefully like rotating between
Speaker 10: all three so it can grow, and then I torture
Speaker 10: it by pulling off its appendages.
Speaker 3: And then I do it to the other one.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm with great glee.
Speaker 12: Yeah, with very great glee.
Speaker 1: I do love the idea, and I think all grocery
Speaker 1: outlets should start adopting this terminology that all produced besides
Speaker 1: the basil plants are pre massacred, Like this is our
Speaker 1: pre massacreage plant section of the grocery store. That's fun.
Speaker 10: The dead don't go to the meat section.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And do they let you come into the grocery
Speaker 1: store with the crows or do they make the crows
Speaker 1: sit wait outside in the park.
Speaker 10: They wait, They wait outside for me, But they helped
Speaker 10: me carry the bags to the car, like they're very.
Speaker 1: Ul Yeah, bring me the pre massacred bananas. Yeah, that rules.
Speaker 1: What is something Jake you think is underrated?
Speaker 13: Well somewhat related, I've been eating a lot of Italian food.
Speaker 13: I think just subliminally it got into my head from
Speaker 13: watching the show and like watch because it's like a
Speaker 13: thing that just occurs every now and then. Is that
Speaker 13: they're eating like a ricot or something, or like they
Speaker 13: eat this thing that looks like a crown made out
Speaker 13: of bones the other day that I'm.
Speaker 1: Very curious about what not that I'm using.
Speaker 13: It was crazy. I posted a picture of it on Twitter,
Speaker 13: What the hell is this? And all these Twitter so
Speaker 13: people are like, you don't know what that is, Like
Speaker 13: they're all dunking on me and stuff. Apparently it's called
Speaker 13: a crown roast and it's this thing they make a
Speaker 13: like a like a king's crown out of an animal's
Speaker 13: bones and roasted. But apparently it's pretty good. So I
Speaker 13: just have this flavor on the brain. And I was
Speaker 13: chopping with groceries store the other day and I bought
Speaker 13: a jar of something called olive salad, and I would
Speaker 13: like to form the world that it's an underrated thing
Speaker 13: in that it didn't know it existed, and that's that's
Speaker 13: a form of underrated, right. No one's talking about this.
Speaker 4: It's olive salad.
Speaker 14: No I in my mind, I'm just picturing a bunch
Speaker 14: of chopped up olives and like with some romaine throw
Speaker 14: in there.
Speaker 3: Is that kind of what it is?
Speaker 4: Well it's not.
Speaker 13: There's not romaine, but it's like other like olive, like
Speaker 13: things like peppers that you would like soak and oil
Speaker 13: like that, but chopped up and then made into like
Speaker 13: kind of a thing you can just spread on a
Speaker 13: freaking sandwich and like it. I'm it's changed my life because,
Speaker 13: like you know, you try to buy sandwich stuff when
Speaker 13: you're grocery shopping and you think you're like, well, what
Speaker 13: how hard could it be? And this is like a
Speaker 13: great way to feed yourself cheap. You can never really
Speaker 13: hit like the way something tastes from a deli doing
Speaker 13: the dance and Prano's hands. It's because you don't know
Speaker 13: about secret stuff like all of salad. Yeah, oh man,
Speaker 13: really good.
Speaker 1: It's uh yeah, it made me think of a very
Speaker 1: fancy deli and olive sound like.
Speaker 13: I think it's just technically for like a muffle letta
Speaker 13: like a po boy or something like that, like a
Speaker 13: like a Cajun thing. But it really it hit me
Speaker 13: because you know a lot of times people make a salad,
Speaker 13: they put one olive on a on a what do
Speaker 13: they call sat a cue tip, a toothpick, and put
Speaker 13: it in the sandwich, just for like aesthetics, you know.
Speaker 13: But it's like, well, you eat a sandwich, you get
Speaker 13: to eat one olive, like wall throughout the entire sandwich.
Speaker 13: That's very little olive, right, but this it spreads throughout
Speaker 13: the entire damn things. Every bite you get like that salty,
Speaker 13: briny thing.
Speaker 9: Oh man, insane.
Speaker 1: I live so much And it's totally happened later in life,
Speaker 1: Like I hated olives when I was a kid, but
Speaker 1: now it's probably the food, like I can't get enough.
Speaker 1: I like, I could not imagine eating too many olives.
Speaker 1: Like it's just I always feel like underserved when it
Speaker 1: comes to olives. I fucking love them. They're the best.
Speaker 13: I know, these Italians. They got they're onto something with
Speaker 13: a something with those olive thing underrated. Not enough people
Speaker 13: are talking about olives. Is it like the most popular
Speaker 13: food since time? Since the fucking Ten Commandments? I suppose
Speaker 13: there's a very famous restaurant named after them.
Speaker 14: But it is also a massive like crime organization that's
Speaker 14: like built up around fake olive oil.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, olive oil. Fake olive oil was like
Speaker 1: a big scam in the seventies. I remember there was
Speaker 1: like I came again, I came into into contact with that,
Speaker 1: like researching something else, and it was like yeah, and
Speaker 1: then they busted this massive like counterfeit olive oil.
Speaker 14: Yeah, we had that that off white supreme olive oil,
Speaker 14: and they got the counterfeit version of it, and it
Speaker 14: was crazy that they were like I mean, I think
Speaker 14: they were making millions. It was like one of the
Speaker 14: biggest money makers for the mafia at one point.
Speaker 1: That's nuts. But it sounds racist to say that, Like
Speaker 1: it sounds it sounds like, you know, it's like, don't.
Speaker 9: Do us like that.
Speaker 1: No, I yeah, I was talking about the same. But
Speaker 1: like to speculate that the Italian mob is like selling
Speaker 1: counterfeit olive oil, like it sounds like you're just being
Speaker 1: like yeah. And then they had a big meat ball shipment,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, full of meatballs. Don't we don't do
Speaker 1: anti Italian racism here. Absolutely, it reminds me of Tho.
Speaker 13: There's an oddly similar story that I came upon researching
Speaker 13: for some dumb podcast I was doing about the Moonies,
Speaker 13: the cult from Korea that sort of is like the
Speaker 13: origin point of like this weird other thing that's happening
Speaker 13: in the United States with a guy named King Bullet
Speaker 13: Heead who's like the guy's son.
Speaker 9: And then like the.
Speaker 13: Guy killed Shinzo, Abe killed him because the moon is
Speaker 13: like the Shinzo and the Moonies somehow were involved in
Speaker 13: the thing with his family.
Speaker 1: Someone died, I don't know, bankrupt. Yeah, Moodies.
Speaker 13: So the interesting weird thing that came out from like
Speaker 13: US occupation in uh in Korea back in the day.
Speaker 13: They have like a similar thing going on where they're
Speaker 13: the source of I guess all of western wasabi. And
Speaker 13: it's also fake, like apparently when you eat with sabi,
Speaker 13: when you have sushi here, it's a horse radish they green,
Speaker 13: and like, yeah, probably live your whole life and never
Speaker 13: actually have with sabbi.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm not going to be surprised if we google
Speaker 14: like Canada's like counterfeit maple syrup operation that's real.
Speaker 15: That is, Yeah, it's all because criminals don't do much research.
Speaker 1: They just like Google the first thing. They're like, all right,
Speaker 1: we're Italian, what do we do, what's the most popular
Speaker 1: and how do we rip it off?
Speaker 4: You hit?
Speaker 13: I know you were like randomly hit dead on. There's
Speaker 13: a whole maple syrup in Canada.
Speaker 14: Wow, what's America's counterfeit?
Speaker 1: It's got to be ketchup right, Oh yeah, it's gotta
Speaker 1: we have to like counterfeit ketchup. But that would just
Speaker 1: you would just become a billionaire and it would be legal,
Speaker 1: because that's what America is, just like just behinry. You
Speaker 1: find the cheapest way to like make something that the
Speaker 1: piggies will gobble up, and then you become a billionaire
Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter if it's poisoning them because we
Speaker 1: don't find out until people start dying third years later,
Speaker 1: and by that time you're rich enough to like affect legislation,
Speaker 1: so you're not gonna get in any trouble.
Speaker 14: To your point, I don't even know if they could
Speaker 14: export the counterfeit shit like the European like food drug
Speaker 14: administrators over there and be like, nah, this doesn't pass
Speaker 14: the smell test for us. You guys got to eat
Speaker 14: that over there.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, wow, all right, it's actually mostly red paint.
Speaker 14: But it's red number forty four.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 13: Full of microplastics.
Speaker 1: Yeah, aren't we all guess? Mayonnaise might be the other
Speaker 1: thing like that we as we talked about on an
Speaker 1: episode earlier this week. It's always like been very suspicious
Speaker 1: to me that Hellman's like the biggest word on their
Speaker 1: label is real. He is real mayonnaise. Okay, stop asking.
Speaker 1: It's like nobody was asking, but now now we're very concerned.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my stand up bit. It's my one stand
Speaker 1: up joke that I'm work shopping. That's fire.
Speaker 9: You should.
Speaker 1: Thanks man.
Speaker 13: If you read a mayonnaise jar a certain way, it
Speaker 13: says like hell is real, that'd be cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hell that's right, Hell is real.
Speaker 13: People repent, put all of those letters in huge letters
Speaker 13: and then sell it. It'll there you go, it'll take
Speaker 13: off hell country.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Hell Man would be a dope like superhero of
Speaker 1: some sort.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, oh she's named after the mayonnaise. That'd be cool. Yeah,
Speaker 13: it's like.
Speaker 1: Hell Man and then his whole thing is just mayonnaise,
Speaker 1: like a foreign Yeah, cool, didn't go where I was
Speaker 1: expecting it. All right, let's take a quick break and
Speaker 1: then we'll talk about the ultimate hell Man Dark Brandon.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, and we're back. We're we're talking
Speaker 1: about never mind, you'll just have to put it together
Speaker 1: for yourself. We're talking about Tucker Carlson's what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: Tucky Carl's on his way out. We learned Monday morning.
Speaker 1: I think everybody was like, there's got to be more
Speaker 1: to this, and like he's like moving on to bigger
Speaker 1: and better things that are going to be sol extinguishing.
Speaker 12: And I thought he was gonna do a Marvel.
Speaker 1: Movie right the next step. Yeah, or Andrew, you were saying,
Speaker 1: maybe it, maybe it moves on to the other.
Speaker 6: But my hope is he's gonna be announced as the
Speaker 6: star of the new Daily Wire Studios movie.
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe a Gina Carano joint.
Speaker 1: Who knows, Yeah, Gina Carano round com with Tuger Carlson.
Speaker 6: Yeah, just see that woodness, white people acting you could
Speaker 6: find I.
Speaker 1: Can actually see that losing a lot of money.
Speaker 5: Gonna like an a boarded baby came back to Earth,
Speaker 5: but as an adult to dragon.
Speaker 6: We could write this now, we could we could get
Speaker 6: this outlined and set it off the chat Chopt by
Speaker 6: the end of this episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it seemed like he was just fired like
Speaker 1: kind of without really putting a big plan in place.
Speaker 1: They were just like, yeah, he's not gonna be on
Speaker 1: his show tonight.
Speaker 5: I know, he ended his last show. It's like, I'll
Speaker 5: see you next week. So I don't think, yeah, he
Speaker 5: didn't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So the timing is interesting just because they just
Speaker 1: settled that lawsuit with Dominion for like, you know, a
Speaker 1: long way towards a billion dollars. It was like seven
Speaker 1: hundred and something million dollars. It was. It was way
Speaker 1: up there, getting getting close to a bill, and so
Speaker 1: I don't know, it seems it seems like if Fox
Speaker 1: wanted to fire him, it would have made sense to
Speaker 1: do that during that process. So they like get credit
Speaker 1: from you know, the plaintiff, for the judge or whatever,
Speaker 1: like for you know taking this seriously. So it's interesting
Speaker 1: that after they settled, they're like, and also, your ass
Speaker 1: is fired.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's because that makes me think
Speaker 5: it might not be the reason, right, because I think
Speaker 5: there are multiple Fox hosts who were sort of cited
Speaker 5: in the dominion lawsuit that were not fired. I mean,
Speaker 5: I don't I feel like we're gonna learn more about
Speaker 5: this tomorrow or something.
Speaker 1: But sure by the time people can hear this episode, yeah,
Speaker 1: they'll have learned more than Yeah, but it's fun to
Speaker 1: speculate here in the past.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we might not. I think, you know,
Speaker 3: like they're just gonna I mean, it's the leak right.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, Kendall's gonna leak it. I think Kendall's probably
Speaker 1: gonna leak it.
Speaker 12: Yeah, Kendall Jenner.
Speaker 6: No, Kendall Roy from Succession. Yeah, there's so much more
Speaker 6: vivid to me. I can't remember who was a real
Speaker 6: life person.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: It really feels well. Also, like, as you know, Succession
Speaker 1: is winding to it's like final episode, and it's been
Speaker 1: a pretty good season so far in my opinion, but
Speaker 1: like people seem to be really enjoying it and talking
Speaker 1: about it like an old fashioned HBO show, Like they
Speaker 1: we have this news story drop Monday morning that like
Speaker 1: the speculation is that he had said the wrong thing
Speaker 1: about the wrong Fox executive in the dominion leaks, because
Speaker 1: there he was on Wax saying some wild shit like
Speaker 1: in the like he was on on wax saying he
Speaker 1: hated Donald Trump, which that can't be good for his
Speaker 1: popularity with his bass. I don't know if it like
Speaker 1: affected his ratings or anything, but he I think what
Speaker 1: does matter is that he insulted the wrong the wrong executive,
Speaker 1: and that executive might have headed out for him.
Speaker 5: I just love, I love, I would love it so
Speaker 5: much if he was brought down just by the pettiest,
Speaker 5: pettiest thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think that's his version of events.
Speaker 1: I think he's basically like, yeah, they somebody didn't didn't
Speaker 1: like the tuck and had to you know, however, referred
Speaker 1: to himself and you know, tried to take me out.
Speaker 1: Like the version that what the Washington Post gave, which
Speaker 1: was the one that like kind of in the first
Speaker 1: way of the stories, made the most sense that it
Speaker 1: was just, you know, he had said the wrong thing
Speaker 1: about the wrong executive. It still also sounds like what
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson would be saying, like if you asked him
Speaker 1: what happened, it would be an evil executive who like
Speaker 1: couldn't take his harsh truths fires. You know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just so wild because it's like, obviously this.
Speaker 6: Man is a colossal asshole every single second of the
Speaker 6: day in what world? Yeah, like, would you be scared
Speaker 6: of or not like offended or by anything? He said,
Speaker 6: I just don't like if you already art executive at
Speaker 6: Fox had choose to work with him?
Speaker 3: What what? Literally?
Speaker 12: What could he say that right be blowing up the
Speaker 12: shared bathroom?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's gonna be something like that.
Speaker 1: I mean some of the details from the leaks were
Speaker 1: that his show and like the writer's room for his show,
Speaker 1: which apparently there's a writer room writer's room for his
Speaker 1: show was like it was just like the first person anecdotes.
Speaker 1: It was like stuff that would have been deemed like
Speaker 1: sexual harassment in mad Men, Like it was just like
Speaker 1: straightforward misogyny on a level that was like felt like
Speaker 1: they immediately after were like, I can buy my.
Speaker 4: Way out of anything type and scripts.
Speaker 5: You know, I imagine that their writer's room is just
Speaker 5: two wheels and one with like nouns on it and another.
Speaker 12: Weel like with like is woe is cancel culture? Those
Speaker 12: just two things.
Speaker 1: Invade Canada, Sure fuck it, let's go with that. That
Speaker 1: was what his latest documentary was about, invading, How we
Speaker 1: should invade and liberate Canada. But I mean there have
Speaker 1: been these moments like that. There have been moments where
Speaker 1: Fox didn't seem to have the courage of Tucker Carlson's convictions.
Speaker 1: Like he had a head writer who was discovered to
Speaker 1: be like an openly racist troll on some internet forum
Speaker 1: and like that guy got fired like the day after
Speaker 1: was discovered or like tendered his resignation in a way
Speaker 1: that seemed like Carlson was like, you got to be
Speaker 1: out of here. So it's it's almost it's a year.
Speaker 6: And I agree with everything said, but I can't have
Speaker 6: that smoke out there.
Speaker 3: Bro.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's like that's the ship you say on
Speaker 1: your show every night. Like, I don't know, it's so weird.
Speaker 1: They're like more careful behind the scenes than I think.
Speaker 6: It's because they can be sued by employees behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I mean that makes sense. And also like
Speaker 1: they are creating content for an audience that they don't
Speaker 1: respect or you know, understand or agree with, and so
Speaker 1: they're just out there basically being like, come slap it up, piggies,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, of course I said that these people
Speaker 1: believe stupid shit. My viewers are idiots.
Speaker 12: I mean it is brain poison, like that guy.
Speaker 5: I'm sure you probably talked about this, but that guy
Speaker 5: that shot that poor kid through the door, Yeah, because
Speaker 5: he was like, oh.
Speaker 1: No, it's it's in Kansas City. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 12: It's like a black thirteen year old.
Speaker 1: Child going to pick up his sibling at.
Speaker 12: Their own Yeah.
Speaker 5: And he's like some eighty something white guy and he's like, oh, well,
Speaker 5: I listened to Fox News all day because I think
Speaker 5: it was like his grandson told the news like, yeah,
Speaker 5: he's like listens to Fox News all the time, and
Speaker 5: he's a racist. He's just sitting there absorbing hate, like
Speaker 5: during his entire waking hours. And so he's like, well,
Speaker 5: you know, I'm terrified of this child and I'm gonna
Speaker 5: shoot him. And I don't you know, I don't necessarily
Speaker 5: buy that he was scared. I think it may have
Speaker 5: been you know, anger rage or something just that, like
Speaker 5: you know, you're on my porch, I'm gonna shoot you.
Speaker 5: But yeah, these people are they're just like it's not
Speaker 5: to say this guy was a nice guy before he
Speaker 5: started watching Fox News, but they just sit there consuming
Speaker 5: this like hate, like his brain poison.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: It's the thing I think with the it's like they
Speaker 6: make this stuff. But like there's the problem is there's
Speaker 6: clearly a contingent at Fox News that believes their news
Speaker 6: right and like has some level of power. It's probably
Speaker 6: like a seventy thirty, but like I feel like it's
Speaker 6: just like from time to time they have to throw
Speaker 6: these people abode and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right. That seems like what's going on.
Speaker 6: This is like, I mean, admittedly the biggest isn't this
Speaker 6: the biggest bone they have?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I thought he had the he had the largest bureaus.
Speaker 1: I would love to hear you say that, but.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it could be with all the advertiser
Speaker 5: Boycott's his show is not the most profitable, but he's
Speaker 5: definitely got the largest viewership.
Speaker 6: It's all the carriage fees, by the way. Yeah, that's
Speaker 6: that's the thing. You got to tell your cable company.
Speaker 6: Don't pay Fox. Don't pay more for Fox.
Speaker 12: News, right because Fox has gone woke.
Speaker 1: That's right. Let him know, folks, I mean they they
Speaker 1: are getting it from that end, right as Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: oh Ann or whatever the fuck is like Fox's Fox
Speaker 1: doesn't respect our president one in true prison.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think that it's also like like
Speaker 6: we'll see whether it's Tucker made Fox or Fox made Tucker,
Speaker 6: because I mean the thing is, you could put any
Speaker 6: racist person in there and it will I'm sure, do fine, sure.
Speaker 1: I mean he was the replacement for Bill O'Reilly, right,
Speaker 1: And remember a similar feeling when Bill O'Reilly was replaced
Speaker 1: and I was like, Wow, like a giant has fallen,
Speaker 1: a giant in the world of racism. This is great
Speaker 1: news for all of us. And then just like a younger,
Speaker 1: smart rasion, more racist.
Speaker 3: For sure is going to happen, and they will build
Speaker 3: this person up like as effortlessly.
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure.
Speaker 12: Who do you think is going to be the new tech?
Speaker 1: Oh man?
Speaker 3: I mean I feel like they haven't answered my audition tape, but.
Speaker 1: I would have guessed, Yeah, I would have guessed either
Speaker 1: Andrew t obviously or Dan Bongino. But Dan Bonge, like
Speaker 1: that was the person I was real scared of, like
Speaker 1: because he seemed just completely racist and was like, had
Speaker 1: a huge podcast and seemed to like understand media you somehow,
Speaker 1: and then they fired his ass on Friday, like he
Speaker 1: he was just like kind of an up and coming correspondent.
Speaker 1: So it does feel like maybe there is like something
Speaker 1: to that internal Fox We're actually a news company versus
Speaker 1: Fox WWE racism energy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the journal that we are at real journalism.
Speaker 6: Clowns have the most power probably now that they ever
Speaker 6: have in like contemporary five news. Not that it's the
Speaker 6: majority of the power, but I think they have as
Speaker 6: much power as are ever going to have. Yeah, like
Speaker 6: see where they're gonna We're losing our credibility as a
Speaker 6: news organization and yeah, yeah, sure, I guess.
Speaker 1: I do wonder if there because there are pending lawsuits
Speaker 1: against o NN and Newsmax that I wonder if them
Speaker 1: being like, well, those people are going to be like
Speaker 1: bankrupted by the end of this year because that like
Speaker 1: thinking as like a business person, they probably are like
Speaker 1: won't he just like go over there and take his
Speaker 1: viewers with him? So they must have some feeling that
Speaker 1: like those compans like it's.
Speaker 3: Not their viewers, like people like it's like people's grandparents
Speaker 3: who literally don't know how to change the channel from
Speaker 3: the right exactly.
Speaker 5: They just I mean it's it's burned into their screens, right,
Speaker 5: Like they turn on the TV it's on Fox, and
Speaker 5: they just play it in the background all day. I
Speaker 5: don't think they're going to go online to try to
Speaker 5: like follow Tucker Carlson to wherever he's going. I think
Speaker 5: it's like such a passive, just like well, I turn
Speaker 5: on Fox News and that's what I do. I mean,
Speaker 5: I think they'll be upset that Tucker's gone, but I
Speaker 5: don't I don't see them like having the savvy to
Speaker 5: like well, I mean some of them, of course, but
Speaker 5: a lot of them I think are just gonna they
Speaker 5: just have it on as background noise.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the replacement will be the same shit. I'm
Speaker 3: going to put my money in, but I won't know
Speaker 3: what odds I could get for Joe Rogan.
Speaker 1: Wow, I mean, he would he want to do it.
Speaker 1: It would be it would.
Speaker 6: Be a pay cut and he'd need a carve out
Speaker 6: for his podcast. But I think I think the that
Speaker 6: time slot is not very hard. It's it's got to
Speaker 6: be some of the easiest. It's the most lucrative per
Speaker 6: hour work you can do on Earth.
Speaker 1: I got it.
Speaker 5: I would say Ben Shapiro, but I don't think he
Speaker 5: would play well with the older generation, like he's he's
Speaker 5: too much of a little boy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's I think they would just be like this
Speaker 1: guy's annoying. Yeah, that is a detail that I assumed
Speaker 1: was from reality. But the the chiron for Fox being
Speaker 1: like burned into the screen of because Succession like mentioned
Speaker 1: that as a talking point season or two ago, and
Speaker 1: apparently that's real, Like that happens all the time. I guess,
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk, like these are all people who are Internet famous.
Speaker 1: It's probably like one of those things where you know
Speaker 1: a movie The Snakes on a Plane is like a
Speaker 1: big deal on the Internet, and then it comes out
Speaker 1: and like actually watch it, Like I'm I'm leaning towards
Speaker 1: all these people who are like Internet famous, and then
Speaker 1: they'll probably pick somebody who has like good news anchor
Speaker 1: fundamentals for a bunch of like bullshit reasons that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be a local Fox
Speaker 6: newsperson or like a fifty seven year old Wall Street
Speaker 6: Journal editor.
Speaker 3: Like it's just maybe it's just like some shit you've never.
Speaker 5: Heard of, like Cannedy will take his slot and someone's
Speaker 5: gonna take Hannity's slot.
Speaker 3: That's true. Everyone moves up long left the King.
Speaker 1: Wait, was Hannity not the most key time slot? I
Speaker 1: assume Hannity was the best time slot?
Speaker 3: Is he Fox News schedule?
Speaker 5: I do know Tucker Carlson's ratings were the highest, But
Speaker 5: that did that auto complete for you?
Speaker 12: Andrew?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, no, I was doing a bookmark not.
Speaker 1: What the fuck Fox have to say about this?
Speaker 3: Oh wow? It literally yeah, eight pm is just blank
Speaker 3: right now?
Speaker 1: Whoops?
Speaker 3: Oh boy, it's it's actually just an hour of like
Speaker 3: commercials for like gold and like you know, fucking like
Speaker 3: anti woke guns.
Speaker 12: Yeah, just keep rerunning Birth of a Nation.
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, it's gonna be something worse though.
Speaker 3: Whatever, there's like somehow temper.
Speaker 6: Temper your celebrations because this one thousand percent is going
Speaker 6: to end up worse.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean I would say someone like Michael Knowles, but
Speaker 5: I feel like he's too nakedly genocidal.
Speaker 1: That's what I've thought that before about plenty of right
Speaker 1: wing people that Fox.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no bottom, there's no bottom.
Speaker 1: Well, because the thing, like the ecosystem for Fox News
Speaker 1: is truly like things that happen on the like in
Speaker 1: Nazi forums or on like right wing talk radio like
Speaker 1: bubble up and then make their way there and then
Speaker 1: they sort of they dog whistle it Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: how BuzzFeed used to work with Reddit, where they would
Speaker 1: just like buzz was just like a repackaging system for
Speaker 1: Reddit stuff.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I could see some them going with someone
Speaker 1: who's like gotten more rate, like started on radio or
Speaker 1: something like that.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's like storm Front kind of goes through
Speaker 5: a sewage treatment plant and then it's still sewage, but
Speaker 5: it's not quite as raw as it was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, filtered, it's truly.
Speaker 6: It's a copy editor, right, the copy editor on the
Speaker 6: various Nazi screens they found today.
Speaker 5: Yes, right, like can we replace the Jews with bankers?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that find and replaced Jews and some bankers.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, all right, let's take a quick break. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back, and we're back, and it's time to
Speaker 1: talk UFOs. There's a new profile and popular mechanics of
Speaker 1: lou Elizondo, who, like, basically I didn't know too much
Speaker 1: about him other than that he was the government official
Speaker 1: who retired while really making a public push to like
Speaker 1: declassify all these UFO UAP documents. And this paints like
Speaker 1: a more full picture of what his motives are and
Speaker 1: it's a little unnerving. But first of all, just you know,
Speaker 1: the article runs down the usual mind blowing piece of evidence,
Speaker 1: and I don't know where are you guys on the whole?
Speaker 1: Like U A P UFO, like you like all, like
Speaker 1: the site U A P is just another word? Is
Speaker 1: like the Pentagon's official word for UFOs Unidentified aerial phenomenon.
Speaker 4: Oh I think it is? Yeah, Yeah, I think UFO
Speaker 4: is fun. Like we got hey, listen, y'all, listen, walk America.
Speaker 4: We got to stop changing. We gotta stop changing ship
Speaker 4: all right. UFOs is what we used to I we
Speaker 4: don't need. Do you think they were needing new names
Speaker 4: for everything, y'all?
Speaker 1: I think they were trying to like get rid of
Speaker 1: the stigma of like flying saucers and ship.
Speaker 9: But yeah, the UFOs mad, they're like you.
Speaker 1: Think they're the ones who are worried. They're like, we're
Speaker 1: serious people, We're serious adults sitting at the Pentagon. We're not.
Speaker 1: We don't believe in UFOs. We believe in U A
Speaker 1: p s which are what does that stand for?
Speaker 4: UFOs Unidentified alien aerial phenomena.
Speaker 1: No good Jesus Christ.
Speaker 4: I don't think UAPs exists, but I do think UFOs exist.
Speaker 4: Interesting take just yes, I know, yeah, I think I
Speaker 4: think UFOs are they? I mean, like I would love
Speaker 4: to see one, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. I was one time when I was
Speaker 1: like riding my bike in Santa Monica at night and
Speaker 1: I looked up and there was just this like string
Speaker 1: of lights in the sky and everyone was kind of
Speaker 1: like pointing at them and looking at them, and they
Speaker 1: like weren't really moving. But I don't know that. That's
Speaker 1: the closest I've got, Like I never I like googled
Speaker 1: and couldn't find an explanation. I was also a little
Speaker 1: bit drunk.
Speaker 8: So yeah, well, everything unidentified to us because we don't know,
Speaker 8: like I don't know shit, I don't know every object.
Speaker 8: It's not like a delta plane. I don't know what
Speaker 8: the fuck it is up there. Yeah yeah, but.
Speaker 1: You are pretty up on the TikTok of like what
Speaker 1: what delta planes are flying over your head?
Speaker 9: I know I have the flight schedule, you know that shit.
Speaker 4: I feel like I used to notice more planes in
Speaker 4: the sky when I was a kid too, And I think,
Speaker 4: I know, what a wild statement, but I did, But like,
Speaker 4: and I think it's more now because we look down
Speaker 4: there's more planes in the sky. Right, Well, these planes,
Speaker 4: I think it's just because we'd look down so often.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, because you're on your dang phone.
Speaker 4: My dang phone.
Speaker 1: Well, also, there's like roads in the sky, so like
Speaker 1: depending on where you are, you might just like be
Speaker 1: under a fucking highway for like whatever the nearest airport is,
Speaker 1: and you're just seeing you know, planes passed by every minute,
Speaker 1: as opposed to you know, they have like specific paths
Speaker 1: they're supposed to stick to.
Speaker 9: So but I used to notice more drug planes too,
Speaker 9: flying low.
Speaker 4: And ship yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't see that
Speaker 4: much anymore either.
Speaker 1: Hey, maybe maybe the UFO's got them. There's one particular
Speaker 1: like instance that I keep coming back to because it
Speaker 1: really is inexplicable. It's the one where they saw the
Speaker 1: tic TACs, say sixty minutes, like interviewed the fighter pilot
Speaker 1: who like made visual contact with them like they were
Speaker 1: but like there's just more detail on from that story.
Speaker 1: It was two thousand and four, and they like had
Speaker 1: somebody on a nearby aircraft carrier who like received a
Speaker 1: call from an officer and was told like they had
Speaker 1: to alter their course and he was like really adamant
Speaker 1: about it, and he like made it Joe. He was like,
Speaker 1: what did you see UFOs or something? And he was like, Sean,
Speaker 1: I really need you to take this seriously. And so
Speaker 1: he like went outside and like with his eyes because
Speaker 1: like a lot of the explanations for this shit that
Speaker 1: you hear from skeptics is that, oh, it was like
Speaker 1: they have these advanced radar technologies that are just like
Speaker 1: locking onto mylar balloons, or you know, like just seeing
Speaker 1: things like mistaking things, or there's like a trick of
Speaker 1: like the radar tracking technology, but like this, so he
Speaker 1: he went outside, scanned the horizon with binoculars and then said,
Speaker 1: several thousand feet up were five to seven lights, very
Speaker 1: bright white lights, no color, no blinking, and they were
Speaker 1: all moving in a circular pattern toward the center of
Speaker 1: this pattern. Suddenly, one by one, when they reached the
Speaker 1: center of the circle, they disappeared. So that's really fucking weird,
Speaker 1: he says. He like looked at the officer next to
Speaker 1: him and was like, did you fucking see that? And
Speaker 1: the lookout nodded. And then the next day is the
Speaker 1: thing is the day that like a nearby aircraft carrier
Speaker 1: had that visual contact with the tick time. So it's
Speaker 1: like really, I don't know, like something seemed to have
Speaker 1: been going on there, Like it doesn't doesn't seem like
Speaker 1: it's it's not just radars. It's not just you know,
Speaker 1: it's like people seeing something with their eyes that is
Speaker 1: like matched by the radars that is then like seen
Speaker 1: by the targeting cameras that they then have on camera.
Speaker 1: And like the the other point they make is that
Speaker 1: like you know, a lot of people will say, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's this trait like it was a light
Speaker 1: beam or like a radar interacting with another radar or something,
Speaker 1: and he's like, that is exactly. That was the very
Speaker 1: first thing we suggest that we like we we thought,
Speaker 1: but it might be and immediately discounted because it like
Speaker 1: wasn't that So like just something for skeptics to think about,
Speaker 1: is that like all these people, none of them want
Speaker 1: to believe in UFOs, Like they just don't.
Speaker 4: Keep seeing them. Yeah, they just keep seeing. First of all,
Speaker 4: kudos to you for being able to read this one point. Font.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I didn't want to subscribe to Popular Mechanics, and
Speaker 15: there was a good website that the pastebin did somebody works.
Speaker 4: Been but also like it's very funny, you know, you
Speaker 4: said that I was the first time UFOs were talked
Speaker 4: about on the show, which I actually now remember since
Speaker 4: you said it. We were all different people then, you know,
Speaker 4: wereferent people. The pandemic kind of happened.
Speaker 1: I hadn't mixed up in January sixth.
Speaker 4: You know, yeah, I hadn't voted for Trump yet, Like
Speaker 4: there was a bunch of shit that hadn't happened. But
Speaker 4: like I, I always wonder why they don't like just
Speaker 4: let UFOs and aliens be known, right, And then the
Speaker 4: common like response to that is, well, the world would
Speaker 4: freak the fuck out if that were to be the case.
Speaker 4: And a part of me has believed that, but another
Speaker 4: part of me also believe But man, the ship would
Speaker 4: probably like unite us and bringing like what there's aliens here,
Speaker 4: blah blah blah. And then the pandemic happened. I was like, Oh,
Speaker 4: ain't shit going ever unite like we are, Like, if
Speaker 4: aliens come down, there's gonna be half the motherfuckers who
Speaker 4: are scared, half people who aren't.
Speaker 8: Half the people was like, you know, Kid Rock's gonna
Speaker 8: shoot one, yeah, and then there's.
Speaker 4: Gonna be another half of people's Like those are American aliens.
Speaker 4: They are here. They are here in the United States.
Speaker 4: They believe in Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: And.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they go to heaven. That's gonna be on Fox News.
Speaker 8: Do they go to heaven?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yes, And so that is gonna be the first
Speaker 1: question that I think everybody, but like the majority of
Speaker 1: people have is like, okay, so like all the religion
Speaker 1: stuff doesn't really make sense anymore, right, But I guess
Speaker 1: that was true also of like Galileo and like every
Speaker 1: scientific revolution, and they just kind of move on and
Speaker 1: they're like, no, it does. It does Jesus like aliens too.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't think it would change shit.
Speaker 8: Everybody still has to go to work, like, yeah, nothing's
Speaker 8: gonna unite as long as we also have to work.
Speaker 8: There's nothing that's gonna be nice. Yeah.
Speaker 9: I don't know.
Speaker 4: My motherfucker is gonna be like, hey, everybody, aliens are here,
Speaker 4: stay inside.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Hello, two, we ain't doing esses.
Speaker 8: Once in a generation. God damn it. Wear a mask
Speaker 8: around aliens of these aliens can't tell me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would love to see it, though, where do
Speaker 4: you think Jack? Do you believe it?
Speaker 1: Yeah? So it's like there's two possibilities in my mind.
Speaker 1: That I think are like, I mean, there's like billions
Speaker 1: of possibilities, right, but like the ones that are like
Speaker 1: leading my leading candidates for what's happening is one, it's
Speaker 1: just real there's been aliens here for all along, and
Speaker 1: they are just so much more advanced than we are
Speaker 1: that like they just like don't really give that much
Speaker 1: of a shit about us, and they also like don't
Speaker 1: trust us, and so like a lot of the alien
Speaker 1: sightings happen around nuclear weapons and stuff, so like I
Speaker 1: feel like they're just like kind of viewing us as
Speaker 1: like they're like babysitters who are just like I hope
Speaker 1: they don't like fucking kill themselves before they like get
Speaker 1: to an advanced place. But it just feels like they've
Speaker 1: been here for If they're here, they've been here for
Speaker 1: a long time. They're both more advanced technologically and also
Speaker 1: like are not interested in killing us because they could
Speaker 1: have by now, like it would have been so easy.
Speaker 1: And I think that is why, like partially, at least
Speaker 1: partially why the US government and the US military is
Speaker 1: having such a hard time reckoning with this, is that
Speaker 1: like that they're not a threat, even though they could be,
Speaker 1: Like they're just like they just seem to be flying
Speaker 1: around and not doing shit, and like that's confusing because
Speaker 1: their frame of mind is like, well, the second you
Speaker 1: have the technological capabilities to like go and attack and
Speaker 1: steal people's shit, you do that. So there there's another
Speaker 1: like possibility. Like I'm also a big believer in the
Speaker 1: ability of the human mind to just create shit. And yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, Havana syndrome has been an ongoing story we
Speaker 1: talked about on this where like a bunch of CI
Speaker 1: agents together collectively kind of manifested all of these really
Speaker 1: significant physical experiences where they were like I heard a
Speaker 1: beam of like sound that knocked me off my feet
Speaker 1: and like gave me vertigo for the next three months.
Speaker 1: And it's like they they don't think they're lying about that,
Speaker 1: like they're the brain is just and like so much
Speaker 1: of the brain, so much of what's happening in the
Speaker 1: brain is like behind the scenes, like happening in the dark,
Speaker 1: and you can't really do shit about it. So like
Speaker 1: maybe like one part of me is like maybe this
Speaker 1: is just another example of that where like it's a
Speaker 1: mass hysteria, like someone sees lights in the sky that
Speaker 1: have some natural explanation, and suddenly a handful of people
Speaker 1: across these ships have this like UFO bug in their
Speaker 1: brain and it starts spreading the way Havana syndrome did.
Speaker 1: But the the thing I've noticed about the like mass
Speaker 1: hysteria is it usually cuts in the direction of making
Speaker 1: you the most important person in the world, like the
Speaker 1: Havana syndrome. The truth of that was that they were
Speaker 1: like bored bureaucrats in this outpost in Havana where they
Speaker 1: like it didn't matter, it wasn't dangerous, like Cuba and
Speaker 1: America were trying to ease relations, and they invented a
Speaker 1: thing where they were actually like the target of like
Speaker 1: this web of international intrigue and sci fi weapons and
Speaker 1: like ghosts, for instance, Like a lot of like mass
Speaker 1: hysteria happens around ghosts, and like that's something where it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like we are incredibly important. We're so important, we transcend death,
Speaker 1: and you know, it's very human centric, and whereas like
Speaker 1: aliens cut in the opposite direction, like not not only
Speaker 1: are we like not the center of the universe, we're
Speaker 1: not the only intelligent life form, we're not particularly intelligent
Speaker 1: by comparison, And they aren't even interested enough to like
Speaker 1: fight us, let alone like talk to us. So it's
Speaker 1: I feel like it's actually not the sort of thing
Speaker 1: people want to believe, and so it feels like that
Speaker 1: there's it's hard to believe because it's got some hard truths,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 8: Like they look at us like we look at birds.
Speaker 8: They're like, look at it, look at that one. Go yeah,
Speaker 8: he's eaten a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah man, yeah, yeah, we're like a million years ago,
Speaker 1: like the way we look at like a monkey house
Speaker 1: or something where it's like, yeah, they're like really cute,
Speaker 1: and look at them just figuring out nuclear technology. Hopefully
Speaker 1: they don't blow themselves up, but we'll just kind of
Speaker 1: lead them to it.
Speaker 4: And like we have such a we have such a
Speaker 4: you know, high sense of self, like we are so important.
Speaker 4: Like you know, I was watching the video of a
Speaker 4: beaver who was in a rehabilitation like home and they
Speaker 4: were gonna let him back out in the wild soon.
Speaker 4: But in this rehabilitation home, he recognized the bathroom is
Speaker 4: where the water is and was drinking shit from all
Speaker 4: around the house, building a dam to the bathroom door
Speaker 4: so like water wouldn't come out. Just his innate ability right,
Speaker 4: and I'm thinking, like, you know, we as humans don't
Speaker 4: have things like that, right, Like we there at every
Speaker 4: aspect of our The one thing we do have is
Speaker 4: we can do a lot of things, but like we
Speaker 4: don't do any of them that way, Like like we
Speaker 4: can't fly, so we create a plane.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: Uh, yeah, we may want to build shit, but we
Speaker 4: got to go to school to learn how to do it, right,
Speaker 4: Whereas like innate, we come out the womb and take
Speaker 4: fucking a year and a half to talk and walk,
Speaker 4: where some babies come out of their parents womb and
Speaker 4: the motherfuckers just walking in within two three days. Right,
Speaker 4: we do a bunch of shit as humans that, but
Speaker 4: we think we're so excellent.
Speaker 1: Well that's what I'm gonna be most interested in when
Speaker 1: the aliens, like if we ever like make contact and
Speaker 1: can communicate, It's like, what are you impressed with? And
Speaker 1: like what looks absolutely hilarious to you that like we
Speaker 1: we keep doing and you're like what the fuck is
Speaker 1: with these giant steeples that they put on buildings? Like
Speaker 1: why are their talents? But like they think our music
Speaker 1: is really good? Like that's like I'm interested to just
Speaker 1: like hearing aliens take on like music, like what they
Speaker 1: what they think that?
Speaker 4: I mean, we also have like unidentified objects here on Earth,
Speaker 4: like we haven't been able We can't even like study
Speaker 4: most of our own ocean. Like there's probably civilizations that
Speaker 4: we just don't know. We truly do not fucking know,
Speaker 4: because we can't get down there, like we're dumb.
Speaker 1: I think I think that's where they spend a lot
Speaker 1: of their time too, because like that's the one most
Speaker 1: kind of inexplicable to me sighting was this tic tac
Speaker 1: that was like over a thing that was just below
Speaker 1: the surface of the ocean, and it was just like
Speaker 1: flying over it, like back and forth and like this
Speaker 1: like random pattern, but there were like waves breaking over
Speaker 1: something in the ocean that it was like communicating with
Speaker 1: or something. And then like that's when these like a
Speaker 1: whatever super hornets flew up and then like it just
Speaker 1: bailed on that and like came up and met the
Speaker 1: super hornets. But that's my sense, as they spend a
Speaker 1: lot of their time in the ocean, probably because there's
Speaker 1: a lot of cool shit in there that might be
Speaker 1: cooler than us, you know.
Speaker 8: I always wonder because like what if there's like some
Speaker 8: Elon type billionaire who's not wasting his time running Twitter,
Speaker 8: who's just developing crazy shit. Like he's just making this
Speaker 8: shit and testing it. And we're like and he's like, fuck,
Speaker 8: they found my weird lights, you know right?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I mean who knows that. I think that's
Speaker 1: wishful thinking for billionaires.
Speaker 9: But that's what I do with the billion dollars. I
Speaker 9: get some weird lights.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, get some fucking weird lights that are in
Speaker 1: the ocean. Just freak people out. The So anyways, like
Speaker 1: the part of the article that freaks me out a
Speaker 1: little bit is just like this lou Elizondo guy who's
Speaker 1: been publicizing this stuff, which I think is important. I'm
Speaker 1: glad he's doing it. The stories that have resulted have
Speaker 1: been like what kind of made me grapple with this
Speaker 1: a little bit more and think be less just like, well,
Speaker 1: there's probably some rational explanation for it, but his he
Speaker 1: keeps like saying, well, we need to like accept these
Speaker 1: realities because we're we might be like at risk of
Speaker 1: another Pearl Harbor or like another nine to eleven. So
Speaker 1: it seems like his whole thing and his background is
Speaker 1: like counterintelligence in Afghanistan and it seems like his whole
Speaker 1: thing is just like we need to like arm ourselves
Speaker 1: and like get ready to fight these things. It's just
Speaker 1: like there's it's not even it's not even close. Like
Speaker 1: it's not like there's nothing you can do to prepare
Speaker 1: if these things decide to like turn on us.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's our that's our high sense of self. Like, yo,
Speaker 4: we could prepare and fight alias like bro, aliens will
Speaker 4: come and flick us off like a booger on our nails, man,
Speaker 4: Like yeah, like they would fuck us up. They would
Speaker 4: fuck us up.
Speaker 9: It's wild.
Speaker 8: We should find like we should find them for that
Speaker 8: would be that nine us where we're like, look, we
Speaker 8: found some aliens on like on like a planet, but
Speaker 8: they're dumb. Let's go fuck them up. Then then it'd
Speaker 8: be fun find the only aliens dumber than us that
Speaker 8: we get.
Speaker 4: Let's go get some experience in this.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean I do think it makes sense
Speaker 1: as a strategy because that's the only thing the Pentagon
Speaker 1: is going to pay attention to, is like, oh, we
Speaker 1: get to spend more money on weapons, Like sure, let's
Speaker 1: let this information. And it's probably why they've been willing
Speaker 1: to take it seriously to this point, it's just like
Speaker 1: as a species, I think we need to hopefully have
Speaker 1: the ability to look at the fact that they've been here,
Speaker 1: Like there's been these sightings of things that fit the
Speaker 1: same description as the tic TACs since like the sixteen hundreds,
Speaker 1: so like they've been here, they're not interested in fighting us,
Speaker 1: and like that should give send us the message that
Speaker 1: like maybe we're the fucked up ones, like because we
Speaker 1: are like whenever we have a technological advantage, we decide
Speaker 1: to kill everything we can with that technological advantage. And
Speaker 1: maybe instead of being like they like when we see
Speaker 1: these things that have a technological advantage and don't do that,
Speaker 1: maybe we take a step back and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: like we're the monsters and or or this is just
Speaker 1: like a peculiar to our species or peculiar to like
Speaker 1: the stage of development we're currently in where we're just
Speaker 1: like more warlike and we just need to like advance
Speaker 1: and evolve beyond that. But the people who get power
Speaker 1: from the military industrial complex seem like they're pretty set on,
Speaker 1: you know, interpreting everything through a paradigm of let's spend
Speaker 1: money on weapons to blow shit up.
Speaker 8: Unfortunately, like you know, there's nothing like you know, those
Speaker 8: fish in the bottom of the ocean that got lights
Speaker 8: on them. It's like, like I don't even know if
Speaker 8: I believe that, you know what I mean, like if
Speaker 8: somebody told me.
Speaker 9: That was pretend this whole time.
Speaker 8: So it's like, but if there's light fish down there,
Speaker 8: why why not like light stuff in the sky, you know,
Speaker 8: light things, like there's.
Speaker 1: So many yeah, like the so I've read some description
Speaker 1: of just like what the like when you get down
Speaker 1: to that level of the ocean, it's millions of these
Speaker 1: like blinking phosphorescent or I don't know if that's the
Speaker 1: right thing, but like it's just a galaxy of like
Speaker 1: glowing organisms like that's yeah, there's so many of those,
Speaker 1: like it's and we just have no.
Speaker 4: No, we have no idea. We can't even see all
Speaker 4: colors as human beings. No, Like that's how ill equipped
Speaker 4: we are for every aspect of everything. We can't even
Speaker 4: see we see seven colors. Yeah, it's wild, you know,
Speaker 4: like wild yeah, yeah, like we don't see it's pretty wild.
Speaker 4: But that is like, haylo, that's a very good point.
Speaker 4: Like if there's all this light ship down onunder the sea,
Speaker 4: like why not in the sky, right, Like if there's
Speaker 4: something as big as a whale in the ocean, why not,
Speaker 4: why not a big as whale like bird in the
Speaker 4: sky right, And it's just like, yeah, we have no
Speaker 4: scope of like what is even on this planet, let alone?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 4: Like what is outside of this planet?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's bacteria and viruses, Like why not some skylight?
Speaker 8: I don't care about skylight. That's probably true. It might
Speaker 8: not even be alien. It's just you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Well, we gave you your four twenty
Speaker 1: episode a week late, folks.
Speaker 4: I hope you was high as hell.
Speaker 1: Baby Caleb Heroin, uh yeah, not on. We can't. We
Speaker 1: do officially not Heroin on. That conversation has repeatedly.
