Will he ever be found? I don't know. I want your part. And this podcast is brought to you and powered by Sunday Cool. So watch this or listen. Nice. Boom. Oh, yeah. She does. It again. How does she do it? I don't know. I can't explain it. It's a miracle. But she's done it. Do you believe in miracles? Yeah. I do. All righty. Oh, yes. All righty. Baby, it's cold outside. Oh, it's cold. You have to stay here. You're mine now. I have a movie recommendation. It's a sad one. Oh, no. Best one of the definitely my top three movies of the year. Whoa. So stinking good. It will make you cry, though. Okay. But you guys will love it. Train dreams. Train dreams. That one. Is that the one that we wanted to watch? Oh, it's Netflix? Yes. Oh, really? It's phenomenal. Does it end sad or does it get happy ever? It's happy. There's moments of happiness. Limited? Limited. Does this family die in a fire? But it's just life. It's just life. They die in a fire. I'm not going to tell you anything about this movie. You have to watch it. But you will love the aesthetic. It's great. It's cool. The cinematography is awesome. It's very like squared off the whole time. That's what I saw. It's so stinking good. The acting is phenomenal. I love Joel Egerton. He's incredible. I also watched Death by Lightning over the weekend. Sick, dude. Crazy. Pretty good, huh? Michael Shannon's phenomenal. Amazing. Very good. Truly. Michael McFadden, just like, I couldn't stop watching him. So good. We started Pluribus. Pluribus. Barbie. What do you think? It's pretty fun. It's fun. It's a great concept. Very scary to me. Yeah, it's very scary. I found it interesting that they, it started off in a, it looked like, a military base. Yeah, yeah. And then it said airfare, air base shut down for evacuation or something. And all of a sudden they're spraying it. Chemtrail. Chemtrails, people. Chemtrail hive mind. Yeah. This is a wild one. How far along are you? What episode? We just watched the first one. And then I got too scared and we had to watch something happy. It's great too, though. Don't you just love like the slowness of it? And you're like, what is happening? Yeah. So good. Like, what's up? Why do some people die? Like, they just can't deal? We don't want to. You'll find. We don't want to ruin it for people. You'll find out. Okay, fine. But it remains a lot of, it's still a mystery. There's a lot of mystery still. Oh my gosh. Yeah. I guess I ruined quite a bit of it, first episode. Yeah, it's all right. Sorry, people. But the teasers were great too, because the only, like the teaser trailer that they had was just the girl licking the donut and putting it back and licking the donuts and putting it back. And I was like, what is this show going to be about? It's crazy. So good. I can't with the. I was literally like. You're all. Oh yeah. And it remains good. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's one of those things where so much isn't happening. You're like, where's this headed? Okay. But it's definitely like, it keeps you intrigued the whole time. And you're wondering, cause if they do a second season, like it's going to keep, there's definitely stuff that can keep happening. I'm a fan of one seasons. I love miniseries that just are one season. Like death by lightning. Four episodes. Yeah. Done. Let's say it again. Four episodes. Done. It's the best. It's so good. Also just knowing there's an end in sight and they don't have to purposely drag it on. Yeah. Yeah. I was going to say, do you think money's the problem though? Like, I feel like a series does really good. It has a great first couple. And then someone's like, we want three seasons of this. And the writers were like, we had an idea for like one, maybe two. And then it just like, it becomes inauthentic and kind of falls apart. Yeah. You could definitely tell which ones, which series are those because they're just. Game of Thrones is one. Yeah. Game of Thrones. Do you see there's a new one? That's right. Yeah. I don't know. I don't understand what they're doing. Yeah. They had like the, what was the, the house of dragon or something? Yeah. I didn't like that. Yeah. What makes you wonder with Netflix's new, like acquiring HBO and stuff and like Warner Brothers. I mean, they own Lord of the Rings now. They own everything. So it's like, are they going to create, like, are they going to create another series off of Lord of the Rings? Like something different? I mean, who knows what they're going to do now? Yeah. I thought Prime had Lord of the Rings. No, they have. Just the rights for that show. That show. That, the whole IP. Interesting. Warner Brothers has the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Gotcha. Supposedly it could get blocked though by whatever the monopoly laws are. Like it's being like looked at right now. Oh really? I was just thinking about that. I'm like, isn't that a monopoly? For sure. Do you see Christopher Nolan? Is anybody enforcing that anymore? That's what I'm saying. Because our whole life is monopolized by BlackRock. You see, there was a, uh, the director's guild of America, whereas, uh, they had a meeting, an emergency meeting. Guess who's the president of the director's guild. I'm going to guess Christopher Nolan. Christopher Nolan. Sick. So he called like an emergency meeting after that Netflix deal. So I wonder what's going to happen. That's cool. Fix it. Does that mean they're going to stop putting as much into theaters? I don't know, man. I mean, like there's Netflix movies that have had, uh, like this year, like train dreams was in theaters and so they have theatrical releases. It's not the same though. It's definitely not the same. Um, I would have loved to see that one in theaters though. I'm telling you, it's a tearjerker, dude. It's such a hard, uh, movie to watch and it's, I don't know, there's moments of it. I don't know. It's just, it's a good one. It's so, so good. Can you just tell me so I can get in the right headspace? Will I leave the movie sad? Probably. It ends very sad. Yeah. See, I just can't get motivated to jump into something like that. But it's life. It's a life story. It's like something that's actually happened. If you, if you ignore it, you're running from it. Yeah. Like this is a true story of just life. Yeah. Life and love and loss. And it's just such a, it's a heavy one, but also the time period. So cool. I think I watch movies to escape reality rather than live a duplicate version of depression. I mean, it's not living a duplicate, big, a depression. You're, you're experiencing another person's life through different avenues and different viewpoints. And it's, you're immersing in that experience. And so I think it's like, you learn, you learn through it. Yeah. It does. And what a high. A higher note than it does throughout the whole movie. Okay. Like there's a lot of dread in the middle, but then it ends on a little bit of a, I do like sad movies, but I have to constantly remind myself that my name is Lily Hooper and I'm not living this person's experience. True. Yeah. Yeah. Just got to remember you're going to die. You're going to die. No, I'm not. You're going to die. I refuse to. Can't. I've tried. I've tried. I've never been injured. Never been sick. Never broken a bone. It's weird. What's up with that? I can hold my breath for 40 minutes. The people that, that's like a theory of people that have never broken bones or something. Yeah. What about them? It's like they like. Oh, I don't know if they're. Oh, it's like they've never broken a bone, but they like experience like the world's most emotional hurt or something. Yeah, it's true. Like we'll try breaking your arm and tell me that doesn't hurt you emotionally. You're a dynamic one. You've got, you're very hurt in all ways. Me? You've been very hurt in all ways. Not emotionally. Hey, we'll just move on. I love that subreddit that does never broke a bone. And it's like, they'll just post like the, all the crazy accidents they've been in or how old they are. And they're like, never broke a bone. But then people will post like, Hey, I fell off my bike and I broke my wrist today. And everyone's like, get out of this subreddit now. You don't belong here. Did you see that there was a sequel to spider chat or whatever it is? What? You know, uh, Tim Robinson is a part. What is it called? Spider league. Spider league. There was a followup to spider league. To find the most dangerous spiders. And they fight each other. Yeah. And they see which one is more dangerous. Yeah. I love that. And then they had to send their buddy to a diversity class and they're like, why did he have to go to diversity class? Did he say something bad about a person? They go, no spider. And he's like, can you say it here? No, I can't. And he sent an apology video and they're like, try again. Yeah. Oh, okay. He's so funny. It's okay. It's her first time on the pod. She doesn't know. You guys enough. I haven't done anything. Yeah. Josh, relax on her. That was, she was in proximity. It just wasn't catching the low end of her voice. The low end. Hello. How voice?

I do want to watch a documentary, though. Did you see what 50 Cent was saying about it in the interviews? Interviews are hilarious. They're so funny. He's, like, gleeful. Like, what do you think Sean Combs will think of this documentary? He said, he's smiling. He's like, I think I like it. You know, he's purposely going on news stations that are only being broadcast within the prison. No way. So it's all, like, the big, like, they're not showing, like, Today or Good Morning America. He's, like, he found, like, the local channels that the prison gets. Wow. And he's going on to those really small interviews. That's amazing. Incredible the amount of, like, just, like, pettiness this guy has towards finding the truth, sharing the truth, and bringing him to justice. It's crazy. I don't know a ton about it, and I haven't watched it yet, but I saw a thing about how he got all that footage. And tell me if this is true. It was that Diddy hired somebody to kind of be tracking along with what's going on. We lost the case. 50 was like, I'll buy that footage and literally flipped the entire, like, catalog of film. I heard something like that, yeah. Yeah, P. Diddy has sent a cease and desist letter or desist letter, whatever that is, to Netflix saying, basically, like, take this down. This is stolen footage, can't do this. But he didn't pay for it. No. That's, right, that's what happened. He didn't pay the videographer. I'm not sure. That's what I heard, the videographer was like, basically, I've got all this stuff. Like, you have an invoice that's, like, unpaid. And he just literally ghosted him. He's like, I'm not paying. And then 50 was like, I'll buy it all. Wow. And so closed the invoice. Wow. Finished the documentary. And it's a wild one. And that's what P. Diddy's track record is. He strings people along forever, doesn't pay them, promises them this, this, this. And it's just, you'll get fame, you'll get fame, but no fortune, basically. Gotcha. He's strung along this one guy who produced his last album right before he was getting arrested and everything for over, like, two years. Jeez. Took him away from his family, his kids, assaulted this guy, drugged this guy, all this stuff. And the guy has to come out and basically just, like, admit, like, in his mind, he's being humiliated. Like, he's embarrassed by, like, how much P. Diddy just took advantage of him over this whole time. But really, he was exploited. He was, like, totally abused and exploited. Bad man. Dude, I mean, his production company was Bad Boys for Life. Bad boy. Well, we should have known. We should have known. We should have seen it. It was there the whole time. But he, no joke, they, like, they have the proof and everything. And people, like, eyewitnesses of saying, like, he killed, he organized the thing on Tupac. He held Biggie in LA long. He was supposed to. And that's when you got, you know, shot and everything. It's, like, it's bonkers how a dude was murdered in P. Diddy's bathroom, like, five or 10 years ago, just in his bathroom. And then, like, paying people to take the fall for it. It's crazy. Crazy. Just a complete psychopath. Very sad. Speaking of a complete psychopath, this guy is actually a cool psychopath. Oh, yay. I saw this TikTok. It's a Sunday nobody. And he just did-- I just started watching it. I'm like, what is this? What is this about? Insane, what he did. So he's just, like, I guess he does, like, art projects or, like, installations, art installations. OK, yeah. But he's, like, I wanted to put something in the ocean near Greece for people to discover thousands of years from now. OK. And he's, like, and no one has-- they said they don't know where that statue is, the man throwing the disk, you know? It's, like, that statue. No one knows where that statue is. I didn't realize that was missing. It is. Me neither. I don't even know about it. I don't know. But I guess the original, I should say. Oh. So he basically made the man with the disk. Yeah. And then put handsome Squidward's head on it. Hilarious. And then-- but the whole-- it was just a TikTok. It wasn't, like, a long video. And then he, like, went and talked to a company in China and made a full replica size of it. And then he, like, went and talked to a company in China and made a full replica size of this out of bronze. Amazing. Yeah, bronze. A bronze statue. He had two of them made. And then he had, like, I think he said, like, 200 little ones made, which you can buy on his website now. So cool. But then he, like, made this, like, fake ID for this university. And then, like, just so we could go talk to a professor to see how impactful this copper statue or bronze statue would be in the ocean. Yeah. So he talked to this oceanographer guy or whatever, like, for an hour or something, got all the information. He's like, OK, it'll be fine to put in the ocean. And then he flew it or he shipped it from China to Greece, flew to Greece, got a box truck. Him and his buddy went and he bought a bunch of floats and met two dudes in Greece that would help him. Tied it to a boat, drug it to the middle of the ocean and just dropped it. Yeah. That is so funny. And so it's at the bottom of the ocean, just handsome Squidward with this discus. That is amazing. Yeah. Some, or is it Sunday? Nobody. Dude, 200 years from now, a podcast just like us. you'll be like guys you're not gonna believe i know this is what humans used to look like dude but you know what's like funny to think about is how many times has something like that happened and it's a piece of art that we celebrate now like that was total satire like the terracotta army yeah just one big prank people are gonna freak out when they see this it's like a storeroom from like a play yeah it's all the props did you see uh that guy that was like visiting he was in china and his like wife was filming her husband like going through

what's going on and she's like oh no she's like i actually talked to someone there yesterday and they didn't mention anything and she's like but if it's the building of the manufacturing plant where i think it is whatever's happening like if they had to evacuate not good for what's inside i said i can't tell you anymore what oh my god we live right here no no that he said she no i mean he's no she she was super high up do i have to edit that no i think you've mentioned on the pod before yeah yeah like several times she's amazing she is amazing and i made a gift a spatula and a butter knife and she took in the white elephant exchange yeah dang yeah it was a handmade gift exchange which i love that's a really good idea those would look dope by the way you know yeah but the dudes let me show you the picture it was crazy because it's always scary west two these guys are in hazmat suits at lockheed martin in orlando i'm like what maybe they're opening a portal they're just chilling yeah it's sketchy looks like they're stealing et but they're like everything i found was like oh there was like a little fire but no it's okay no one's hurt and everything's fine yeah just a little tiny fire at lockheed martin but she said if it's the building she thinks it is no bueno what could it be alien bomb alien bombs poison that's the clones something they're involved in daggum everything so it's hard to know yeah literally everything yeah um you guys see this i can't see what that is so just raising it higher wait let me make it brighter that i mean the words are so far you don't need to read the words look at the picture you see that mixing with that what is that the green water blue water the tide line the green water is the mississippi river yeah going into the ocean ocean okay it's yuck which is brackish water no it's got a bunch of stuff in it sewage and stuff don't talk about mississippi like that and literally the ocean is going no thanks they're not mixing because how yuck it is it always does that what's on the news right now about that guys so ocean is racist but what about all them fishes they don't want pee pee poo poo um speaking of pee pee poo poo you guys see zach was it zach brown played at the sphere dude what is this guy did you see that what's going on he did he did the gospel album too right is that the same guy i don't know i don't think so okay we can't play toes in the water but in the sand but he he played at the sphere okay and he did one part of a show was literally the sphere it was hell he was playing in hell with a bunch of creepy things hold on how do we get here for country music i know people evolve over time but it just seems like you're just trying way too hard to push such a weird narrative forward and i don't think it's going to work i don't think it's going to work i don't think it's going to work i don't think it's going to work i don't think it's going to work yeah i mean you have this like big skull guy with like literally like this like weird spiky crown it's super felt felt super demonic imagery i don't know yeah look at this little i just said i just turned my phone turn but you got to watch it play it's yeah don't do the music because it will get flagged but it's just like a bunch of like dead people crawling on the cage well i haven't seen that and then like just a giant skeleton man oh my gosh what the heck no i didn't i just saw the like you see like he's wearing that crown thing dude weird and he's playing country music yeah i mean he originally was but i think they've kind of like switched over to doing more rock stuff now but it's just it's weird um okay yeah but we're talking about it so apparently it's helpful for him oh my gosh that would not be fun did you guys see the brandon lake concert where he um he had the bail too he had like a big picture of bail and stuff like that yeah it was like but the whole song like if the whole you saw the whole thing it like leads in like the light winds and stuff so it was like telling a story that makes sense but like out of context yeah 100 people are like what are you doing on earth that makes sense yeah it was strange crazy stuff yeah gets people talking dude what are you gonna do nothing nothing nada do you hear about the ceo of columbia sportswear no this is the funniest video i saw did you see this no he went on the internet made a video and he said i'll give someone my company oh my gosh three his company is worth three billion dollars he said my three billion dollar company all its assets for any flat earther to go to the edge of the world and take a picture really yeah oh my gosh he just flat he just was sick of it and just yeah he's i don't know what made him be like i'm so tired of these flat earthers but i'm gonna did this get posted like really recently yeah like after a family thanksgiving oh that's what i said yeah that's where my mind went yeah he's like you know what i'm so sick of these kids like my grandchildren are idiots thinking the earth is flat you think it's fine i'll give you three billion dollars to prove to me it is i bet people were just like dude ai images and stuff like venmo me come on but yeah he did he was just like oh my gosh he was just like i'll give you three billion dollars my entire company just go take a one he said i just need one picture yeah that's super funny there's this uh i can't remember his last name his name was james something but he uh he was big in like the 70s and 80s and he would go on like talk shows and he had his own show but he had a one million dollar reward for anyone who could come on and prove that magic was real and like people would go on there and accident like and he would do everything he could to study this person and to figure out like their uh like how they did it and so he would get on the show and they would perform their trick and he's like actually try this deck of cards and he's like oh something's not working i can't i can't do this here but it was just fascinating because he was literally like i will give you a hundred i mean one million dollars of my own money to if you could just show me just prove it once just one little thing and i can't you know you they couldn't do it and you get like the countess sean jamal come on stage i think that your cousin riley is actually magic dude what we should just get riley on here to do his card magic yeah it will blow your mind we need to i mean he makes david blaine look like a fool and his and his personality is probably so good with it as well he's like he's always pretending like oh my gosh like how did that he does this one thing but then he's like schooling all of us truthfully this is the best he did one thing which i probably think about at least once a day a whole deck of cards and he had a shuffle them blah blah blah shuffle them he says i'm going to separate them into red cards and black cards he said but you're going to tell me which one goes which pile decks upside down he said and you go red red Red, red, and then you go black. And then he's just doing what you're doing. You're mixing it up. I'm mixing it up. Oh, man. And I'll try to like flip them over, and it's dead on. I'm like, there's no way. I literally have no idea. There's no way. Yeah. Oh, I love that. We got to get him back on, dude. Dude, it was insane. That's awesome. I know. When did he start learning like card tricks and stuff? Dude, he just teaches himself everything. He's amazing at guitar. Dude. He's just like self-taught. Yeah. And magic tricks, apparently. It's the most like humble magic trick doer in the world, too. It's like all in humility is he's like schooling you with these tricks. It's amazing. That's so fun. I think, yeah, that'd be also such a cool evangelism, like street evangelism-like thing. It's like you're showing people magic and then like talking to them about Jesus during it. Yeah. And it's like blowing their mind right there. Jesus is having me do this magic. Jesus gave me this gift. Yes, he did. Speaking of gift, did you guys see that clip from the World Cup? The World Cup drawing? No. What? So there's this. It's the. Also, did Trump win like the FIFA Peace Prize or something? I'll look that up. I don't know anything about that. I saw him doing something with it, like drawing. What was that? It was like for the brackets for the World Cup. Oh, cool. And they had the, I guess, I don't know. The group stage. Group stage. Yeah. And they had like the prime minister of Canada up there. They had the Mexican president and then Donald Trump up there. Mm-hmm. And they were drawing. The first names. Guess who Canada, the Canadian prime minister drew? Who? Canada. Guess who the Mexican president drew? Mexico. Donald Trump. USA. There's just a bunch of balls in there and they're like. But wasn't it clear and you can obviously see it? I thought it was like something you cracked open and you looked inside, but it looked, it was just the ball. Yeah. Was there an explanation for that? So what they do for, yes. I mean, what's happening right now is all of your social media people are like, there's like a dude in the stadium. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. And the first time he's like, oh, that's weird. The second time he's like, dude, are you serious? And the third time he's like, this is all rigged and he's losing it. And so the trend right now is this whole thing is corrupt and whatever. But the reality is they're the host nations. And because they're hosting, like they, each one of them will be in one of the different groups. So they are preselected as like group A, group B, group C. So there's not a drawing for each of those nations. So it is just a parade of those different. What a weird way to do it, though. That's the problem. And it's so like the optics of terror and because Trump's like being goofy when he does it, he's like, I wonder who this could, you know, but that's all it is. And so the other teams in those group stages are selected in that manner randomly, but that's so the first team in each group. Is a host nation. And that's how that worked. Yeah. It got me going. I was like, cause it's like less than a 2% probability that that could even be pulled off. Yeah. So anyways, I just finished Ted Lasso all three seasons. Oh, really? Pretty good. Pretty, pretty good. Which made me actually want to start watching a little bit of soccer. Well, good for you. Good, good job. Good, good timing. Yes. That's yeah. Did you, did you see the, uh, I didn't mean to cut you off, but I just need help picking a team. I think this, this is something where you need to figure out how do I pick a team? Obviously Haiti. I mean, dogs, but like this is a team for life. Oh, I see. I need, I need a team for life. Now I need to sit like to sit down and fall in love with the team. My team since I was little was Brazil, Brazil. Yeah. What's your team? Okay. Well, I like watching Spanish. Are we talking like international or are we talking for the world cup for the world cup? Barcelona has a ton of players on Spain, like Pedri, uh, Laminia mall. Like they're just fun to watch. So I'd like to watch that. I'd like to see them go all the way. But obviously I just, I'm pulling for the U S like actually, um, they just switched the tactics like really recently they switched their entire, they put five in the back cause we have weak defenders and literally they, we lost a game. I believe, I think it was South Korea. We were playing, we lost two nil, but they made the change halfway through. And since that change, we've looked dangerous. And so I think the coach, uh, has kind of cracked the code and figure some stuff out. We started winning games with like some of our B players. So I'm excited about that. Argentina is your team. Spain, Spain, Spain. Okay, cool. I got to do some research. People in the comments. Let me know who I should, who my team should be. This old course, Ireland, Ireland would be cool. It'd be cool. I got to figure out my ancestry first. Maybe that'll help me. Yeah. Yeah. You have to be Russian. That would be so cool. If it like a, what if I was like a hundred percent Russian? How's that possible? Uh, speaking of Russian though, don't say it. There's this movie that I saw someone talking about. And I've never heard of it. And now I really want to see it. They say it's one of the best world war two movies ever created. And you've never seen it. I've never seen it. I thought I've seen them all. Yeah. It's called come and see. Come and see. It was made in 1985. Um, and it was directed by LM Clem of Clem of. I've definitely mispronounced it, but whatever. Well, it's crazy about this movie. Um, Oh, it's on my watch list. Oh, is it? Yeah. Come and see. It's named after revelation six verse seven, when it says, and when he had, uh, had opened the fourth seal or heard the voice of the fourth beast say, come and see. And I looked and behold a pale horse and his name that sat on it was death and hell followed him. So this movie is about come and see the pale horse, but apparently this director wanted true fear from these actors. Especially the main actor who was a 14 year old boy. And what they would do is in the majority of the scenes, they would use real bullets. So there's a shot where this kid drops to the ground and you see like they're shooting over his head. Oh my gosh. Real explosions, real terror. And they said that the theme of this movie, like they use like constant ringing, like, and just sound like, like sounds and they, they would cut the soundtrack to some parts to make it feel. So eerie, but apparently it's super heavy and they said, what's creepy about it is the little kid actor, which I am not going to Alexi. I'm not going to say his last name because I really cannot say it, but, um, 14 years old, they said that you can see that he aged emotionally from the beginning of the movie to the end. Like he actually looked like he aged from just being in fear. Yeah. Golly, dude. He's like, mom, I really don't want to go to work today. And she's like, you have to sign a contract. Yeah. Oh, but they, they made the director literally sign documentation that said that they, he would not. Yeah. So Kilmov had to sign papers verifying he wouldn't permanently traumatize the child. And do you think he kept that promise? Yeah. Like how do you, how do you gauge that? I mean, the kid is now an actor, like he's continuing to act in full-time therapy. I was going to say, yeah, actors never have a history of like. You should watch the trailer. It looks nuts. I just want to watch the movie. I don't even want to watch the trailer. I want to just, cause I, it's been on my wrist. Cause I, I go, uh, every time I, I just have like a folder on Tik TOK. And so every time I go through that of all those recommendations that I put on my letterbox, a watch list. And when I have no idea what I want to watch, I just like, I know those movies were recommended by good people. So it was like going in blind, especially something like that. It's super brutal. Yeah. Like really brutal. Like showed the atrocities of. The Soviets and the Nazis. Jeez. Real bad. Real bad. Bad stuff. Hey. That's life, baby. That's life. That's life. That's life. That's what all the people say. Speaking of people saying, did you know that we got to not go anywhere. You can even save up to $35 on your next fill up.

And they would cut away to a really funny guy. Really funny scene. Sometimes they'd be watching TV and he'd be like, and now back to two and a half men. And it was just two guys and the guy that was cut in half. And there were two guys were screaming. And they're like, ah, ah, ah. Classic Classic You alright there?

The people The people I don't know, let the people answer I do I do Oh, I'll put more effort into it We have to come up with a song We have to come up with a question We have to come up with topics And you have one question One question I'm not mad I'm just disappointed I have a question From the past You know what? I don't even want to hear it All I want to say is Question corner, question corner, question corner With Lily With a question that's fresh on her mind Very fresh on her mind Let me know if I did ask this already Okay Would you rather be forever homeless Or never be able to leave your house? Forever homeless that sounds terrible to not leave your house i know yeah i guess you could technically be homeless and be a renter so no no you would have a home what's the definition of a home you don't have a home people people that rent houses okay are not homeless homeless people rent hotel rooms their culture is not your costume okay you cannot live in i'm winning i'm winning that on a technicality no you can't rent an apartment that's not homeless people that rent are not homeless i've literally talked to people who were for sure homeless that lived in a home and were renting hotel rooms well yeah you said an apartment though yeah you said you would rent an apartment no you at first you said apartment i just gotta drink my coffee rewind it back okay now i have another question i i feel yeah i feel like also that's a kind of a that's a tough question because it's like i would hate like having a conversation with somebody who's unhoused or on a homeless or whatever word you want to use and saying i would rather live your life than be stuck in my home forever could i trade your house then oh yeah that is like challenging it's all lily's fault what if the homeless person says yeah same i would hate to be stuck in the house sure yeah would you rather always have a blister on the side of your ankle or a canker sore on the inside of your lip blister anchor anchor on your ankle anchor that's easy yeah if you did it like on the bottom like on your toe or something do you mean heel or ankle i mean right here yeah she needs heel where it clips well it's like right behind your ankle i wear crocs so it'd be fine i'd be okay little bit floppies anyways thanks well did i ever tell you by the time i used to you're so mean i used to be an ra uh like uh that's cool um no at a ra ra ra ra that's where it came from um at a homeless shelter in college where you'd like sign up and like there was a homeless shelter and you'd have to get there like at six or something you'd do like breathalyzers for everyone and then you would host like 50 guys upstairs and you would have like one college student be downstairs and they would just have to like be in control of all the people for overnight and my first night i had to call the cops because i had a guy on bath salts going crazy at me yelling and gussing screaming at me and i was like this is how i die this is it oh my gosh it was terrifying what how do they behave when they're on bath salts i thought they ate people i mean they're yeah he was just manic he was absolutely manic and he was like trying to push people fight people and i was like trying to like control the situation because everyone's just kind of you know you have people that have been there and they're like oh my gosh i'm gonna die and they're experienced and they're mature about it and other people that just get triggered so they start fighting back and you have an 18 year old kid oh my gosh who's just trying to control the situation nuts and it's just he's in my face i was terrified dude i was calling 9-1-1 like behind my back and everything and then every time you turn his back and start yelling at somebody else please call me right oh yeah what's going on and they're just it was terrifying first night i'll never forget my dad reading the newspaper when i was a kid for that story in miami of the guy that took bath salts on eight a person yeah and he's like there's real life zombies that freaked everyone out that was the scariest thing i'm freaked out now that she said when i was a kid um two years ago when was that i mean i was a kid tooth that way i'm gonna guess i'm gonna guess i'm gonna guess i'm gonna guess 2013 wasn't there a connection with a guy in miami that went crazy on bath salts or something or drugs that was like a part of like a cim informant or something 2018 12 oh i was close you were one year out of high school yeah yeah so i wasn't a kid i was 15 a teenager page and i've been dating for two years wow nice um i got married that year a fantastic book to read to understand what homeless people go through is a book called under the overpass really good book it's on the list it's um this guy who was basically he was sitting in church one day and i was talking about caring for the least of these and he's like he's like what would it be like just to live homeless there's so many homeless people he's like so he's just gonna live as a homeless man and so he like he set up this goal like live for like a year as a homeless dude and he moved to like four different states to experience in each state like four regions of the united states and it's crazy i mean it's so insightful and like it really makes you try to be more intentional with people that are homeless because like at the end of the book he's just like you literally start to feel not human yeah just the way that people treat you oh i can't imagine yeah he's like it was so it would make my day if someone just looked me in the eye or said hello yeah and he's like but they don't you just get treated like trash yeah and he's like it's also you have no idea what a luxury it is to just use the restroom said it's so difficult to find a restroom so you just end up having to go home and you're like oh my god i'm gonna go home and i'm gonna on the street yeah it's crazy yeah really good buck though i hate i hate it it's being a good bucks and you hit us with that beat oh books books books books hold tight don't be scared it's all right good job good job good job really last night we were leaving it was raining we're leaving his parents house and he slipped a little and he went literally like while you're falling he caught himself but i was like it's a funny reaction oh my god oh my goodness that's hilarious all right i'm gonna have to turn my phone around i don't know what's going on it won't let me send videos to the group i think andy's just tired of watching the stuff that i film and he's figured out a way to block this what the chat yeah how i don't know the what the what um yeah here we go so this is out of uh this is in texas i just think this is sick if i played football in high school i would have been like oh my god i'm gonna be like oh my And this is how they sent me off to a game, like an out-of-town game. Guaranteed, my team's winning every time. But here you go. I don't have it. Oh, my gosh. I'm going to have to turn it around. Look at this. It's going to swipe. Oh, yeah, the music. Yeah. And a horse? Yeah. All the cowboys from the town. So all the. Is that not sick? What are they doing? Oh, the guys are on the bus. Yeah, they're sending them off for the game. So that's all the dads. Oh, that is so cool. Yeah. And they lose by 50. No, so that's what I have queued up. They won like 40-something to 20, and they won the game. That's awesome. Yeah, a little wholesome content instead of everything else that I have saved. People are really mad at you about the nail clippers thing. I mean, I got one if you all want to see one. Let's do it. Come on. Come on. Come on. No. It can't be anything with teeth ever again. This is not teeth. Oh, it's going to come back. I actually didn't look. I couldn't. I saw the video. And he watched it. Now you have to watch. Oh, the mental gymnastics that I have to do to not think about it. I was sitting next to Paige. I think we were like rewatching the Stranger Things series or something. But it was one of those where I was like jolted next to her. She was like, what is happening? You know, the guy that like wears all the fragrances on TikTok. And he went to post that video of him singing in the tonsil stone shot out of his mouth. And he was like, oh, my gosh. Everybody's like. You don't have to post everything you film. He's like Danny Fragrance or something like that. I can't remember now. He just got married. That was a funny video, though. I vaguely remember it. In my head, I feel like. He was announcing his marriage, and he's like, I'm happy about the woman. That's what he said. He has an accent, but his tonsil stone just shot out of his mouth. That's not his usual content. Everybody's like, why did you post that? Stop. Oh, this guy? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. I haven't seen this. Oh, my gosh. I'll send it to you. That's awful. He's like, whoa. Whoa. What was that? That's so gross. Yum. Speaking of tonsil stones. Oh, my gum. We got a new space race going on. Do we? Nuh-uh. Oh, yeah. No, we don't. We do. What is it? Who? When? What? In the red corner, the United States of America. In the blue corner, China and Russia. We teamed up together. To the moon. To the moon? We're going back to the moon? Not only going back. They're trying to be the first to set up a nuclear reactor on the moon. Nuclear reactor? Why? For fun. Just for fun. Just because we're bored. I don't know. There's nothing else I know. Who announced this race? NASA. Really? Well, China and Russia, they teamed up because the whole thing is. To set up a nuclear reactor so you can start building bases on the moon. Yeah. Right? So, they want an energy source, meaning a nuclear reactor. And it's basically a race. China said that they. China and Russia teamed up and they're like, we're going to put a nuclear reactor on the moon established in 2035. And then the U.S. came out and they said, all right, we're going to do it by 2030. Why? Is there an idea? Let them do it. The engineers are like, hey. It was their idea first. They came up with the idea. Well, the whole thing is once you get your nuclear reactor set up, it's like, I don't know what the law is regarding this. What space law? But it forms keep out zones on the moon. Right. So, I guess you want a prime spot on the moon. You establish it and then other countries can't establish. So, this will be the first time we actually own, like people will own property on the moon? Basically. I mean, how does that work? I don't think you should be allowed to do that. I don't either. Yeah. No. I mean, unless there's like a fighter's keeper's law kind of thing. I mean, it's super weird. Why is it that they can do that on the moon? But when it comes to Antarctica, it's like everyone. Everyone's at agreement. Yeah. Your base is here, but like you don't own this base necessarily. Yeah. What's stopping from someone going rogue? But when it comes to the moon. Yeah. Like, this is our spot. Sure. You can't come near it. It's weird. Yeah. What's stopping someone from just claiming Antarctica? Yeah. So we want to do that in five years. Apparently. Four years because it's almost 2026. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. A nuclear reactor on the moon. This just seems like a bad idea. No. That just creates energy. Yeah. For creating or establishing a base on the moon. Yeah. Like to where people will, in theory, be going to and from and living there. People will be living on the moon before I even know what the end of severance is about. That's how quick this is. Mm. We probably won't even have Grand Theft Auto 6 yet. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. That's nuts. Yeah. Makes you wonder, like, I mean, obviously the moon, but what's next? You know, like, I can't imagine people are living on the moon, though. I bet you they are. You think? Yeah. Have you seen Ad Astra? Brad Pitt? I was just thought I saw a clip last night. I still have not seen the movie. It's a good movie. I mean, I've played it in here about a million times. I put it on just because it's a great vibe, but I don't know anything about it. I mean, the plot. It's not a fantastic. It's really just about, like, pictures. I think it's all right. No, it's not that good. You just like Brad Pitt. What if it becomes an opportunity to, like, you're down on your luck here. We need people to move to space, so we're going to do that. Plot of the movie. They do all of this publicity, kind of Blue Beam style, where it's like, this is successful. Nuclear reactor is running. Check out all these facilities. It doesn't exist. It's just the Bill Gates agenda of thinning the herd. Oh, so they just shoot people into space to get rid of them? No, they just say they went. You're just watching rockets go in the sky, and no one's on them. Like that show, that reality show one time when they were faked to be astronauts and sent them to space? Oh, yeah. Dude. Ad Astra is sick, though. What's the plot? It's not that important, but what is important is that I feel like it's probably the most realistic of, like, what a base on the moon would be like. Yeah, it's true. Yeah, and they have, like, a little battle on the moon. Where they're just, like, in these cars chasing each other, shooting. Like a moon car race. It's completely silent, and it's so cool. Interesting. Because there's no noise on the moon. No one can hear you scream. No. No. Speaking of which, there's this video channel on my TikTok that comes across my algorithm every now and then. It's like, if the moon landing was real, explain this. And then it, like, goes into the thing, and I'm always like, all right, let's see what it has to say. Every time, I'm like, you're right. You're right. One of them was, like, how is it that little rover thing, or the thing that the Apollo astronauts landed in, little jumper thing. Out of that, they pulled out a full-size car, basically, to drive around on the moon. And they're like, what was the, this is the 60s. What was the energy source for that car? Was it this battery? Like, a battery that no one has ever been able to really produce? Because it's, like, the extreme temperatures. They say when the sun is touching the moon's surface, it's. Over 200 degrees Fahrenheit. And then the dark side of the moon, negative 200 degrees. I almost thought it was cold. Same. Well, when the sun is hitting, it's hot. When it's not hitting, it's cold. And so it's like, there isn't a battery that can survive those kinds of temperatures for hours. Yeah. It's like, you're right. There's a lot of questions, man. I mean, it looks like a very janky little thing, too, that we had flying on that rocket. Yeah. And, like, even, like, the takeoff thing, they're like, you landed in this, like, basically a dust planet. There's no launch pad. And you had these rocket boosters shoot you off of basically sand, knowing that it was going to work the first time. Yeah. It's like, man, that's pretty convincing. It's pretty crazy. Dang. It's weird. It's a bigger swing than you just said. Oh, is it? It's 250 Fahrenheit to lower than negative 410. Dang. And they're saying this car. It's just driving around with this battery that was built in the 60s for hours. Yeah. How did the astronauts even, like, walk on them if it was that hot or cold? Their spacesuits. Can not cook them? You would think it would be pretty hot in that thing. Now that they got that black fungus, they didn't get any hotter temperature. Mm. Mm-hmm. Fishy. Weird stuff. The whole, like, spaceship thing, too. That just seems insane. Insane. That they just kind of chill that close to the surface going through that kind of temperature shift. They're made of, like, metal. Think about, like, how metal, like, expands and contracts. I know. We got to schedule a remote interview with Bart. I know. I'll book it. Yeah. We'll try to figure out. Because it's just going to be a late night. We're just going to have to meet up and do it late night because he lives across the Yeah, he's, like, this guy that was on Joe Rogan and on Danny Jones recently, he's, like, the best moon debunker. He's so funny of just, like, how he knows everything. He knows every fact about how fake the moon landing was. Yeah, he speaks so plainly. But he's, like, yeah, I can do the interview, but I live in the Philippines and it has to be at night. It's, like, all right. He lives in the Philippines and it has to be at night. It'll be night for us. Like, the interview would be, like, 9 o'clock. Yeah. How would it be night in both places? It wouldn't. No, I'm just saying. It would be night for us. Like, he's saying, like, these are my available times. Oh, I understand. And we're looking at it. It would be night in our time. I see. Yeah, I just didn't say it very well. It's okay. You tried. She just didn't understand you, but I could. Ada's new favorite question is she asks, where is the sun right now? Where is it? It's either on us or in Tennessee or in China. And she asks. There's no in between. Speaking of China. Yeah. There's a new religion out there, people. Oh, boy. What kind? We've talked about it, but it has a name. Okay. Spiralism. Spiralism. Is that what I'm thinking to think it is? I don't think you think it is. I think it's. I think it's like the spiral thing that's in the ground stuff. Spiralism. What are you, just like a little goblin over there? She only comes alive to make fun of people. Yeah. I am very tired. Spiralism. You came in with the most energy today. You're like, I'm so ready for this. Honestly, I did because I really hurt Josh's feelings earlier. I was like, I do not want to do this show today. And he was like, oh, disappointed. Disappointed. So I came in ready. Ouch. Yeah. I know, but I'm happy to be here now, people. Are you? Yeah, I am. I'm sweating. No. Spiralism. Yes. Spiralism refers to a growing online subculture in which people treat interactions with AI chatbots as spiritual or mystical experiences. Uh-oh. We knew this. was going to happen. It's getting real, I guarantee it. Yep. So they are literally treating these interactions as divine revelations. How does that work? I mean, like, do people have churches where they like put in a prompt and then like 45 minutes later, you have this whole speech by AI or something? Well, there's apparently all these subreddits and stuff now where for the religion of spiralism to where they have, I think they call them like, geez, I don't know. It's like acorn prop prompts or something where it's a specific way of prompting to receive these revelations. Oh, okay. So like it gives you this mystical knowledge and like, but people are like really treating it. It's not like a joke. It's like they're really worshiping this mysticism. I mean, if Joe Rogan is seeing that perspective of like, oh, maybe this is something like there's got to be millions of people that think similar. Yeah. Like as. As reality. That was a crazy, crazy out of left field thing Joe Rogan said. Yeah. And he even said at the beginning, he's like, a lot of people think this is a dumb idea. And it's like, well, that was a pretty dumb idea. Yeah. I understand why they said that. We talked about those who don't know. He's referred to like Jesus was born of a virgin birth. He's like, what's more version of the computer? As soon as you hear that hot take, you're like, oh, my gosh. Come on. Come on. It's like some things you just should. Just. Just like write down and like it's like one of those things like where you wake up and I'm like, oh, my gosh, such a good idea. Yeah, that's such like a like leading middle school small group. And then like one of the kids asks that question. You're like, just take a deep breath. You're like, OK, here we go. What if Joe Romero was actually a computer? But yeah, he claims that Jesus will come back through AI. And then Jesse Michaels is like, we're the Antichrist. Yeah. He's like, no, not that. No, I don't think so. I think I like my idea better. But anyways, so spiralism. Yeah. I'm curious to see how this actually is broken down logistically. Like who were these people meeting? Where are these people having discussions to like, how does this become a religion? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Because it's definitely a possibility. I mean, it's not not a possibility. It's obviously something that's going to keep happening in the future. And so what is that going to look like? I know. I feel like we're just at the precipice of everything super spooky with technology. Yeah. And also how it's leaking into the churches already where people are using this stuff for their sermons. So it's like, yeah. And illustrations and points and outlines. And it's like, at one point it's okay. But then you're starting to leak over where you're not proofreading things. You're using it as a crutch. It becomes very dangerous. Yeah. Takes the human out of it. The amount of times that ChatGBT has lied to me while researching for this podcast. Yeah. Like, if you're using it at all for a sermon without looking at it. Yeah. Without looking at everything against scripture, like trusted sources, like you're screwing up. Yeah. I think it's really spooky. I know. Father Josiah talked about one of his pupils did a paper through ChatGBT on like the Byzantine era of something specific. And they were like, look at what this thing did. And like made like a full presentation. And he's like, wow, very cool. He's like, never use that again. He's like, that's so spooky. There's a, you know how Spotify does their whole rap thing. I've been seeing, saw somebody there like, I wish ChatGBT would give us like a rap of like, our conversations and stuff. I did it. Oh, really? They're like, all you do, you probably could just ask it to. I did last night. And it was so, the humor in it was so funny. But it talks about like your, your favorite phrases of the year. Like, what were your themes? Like your character. And it did a whole thing. And it's like your predictions for 2026. And it's like, it says, I guarantee you're not going to ask me about taxes until April 14th. It literally made me laugh out loud. But it was just, it goes through all of your, your stuff. Throughout the whole year. So we should do it on Patreon. I feel like that'd be super funny. Mine's all health related. That's very funny. Also, you texted me last night, how you're like algorithm changed. What the heck was up with that? Did you not read my text? No. Josh texted me. He's like, also, what's up with my algorithm? Everything's math. I was literally on TikTok. And then the next video was someone doing a math equation. I'm like, dumb. Next one, math. Next one, math. I'm like, what? Science. Math. Yeah. Chemistry. No, I hit the refresh. And then it was like more and more. I'm like, okay, I guess I'm done with TikTok. No. I was like, I couldn't believe you didn't get it. Because I texted you. I was like, it's either you just realized you're a genius or you're on the STEM algorithm, which is STEM right there. And it's all math stuff. That's probably what happened. I sent you a screenshot and I showed you. You're on the STEM. I circled it. I did. Then I did see that. I'm like, I don't know. That's so funny. I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, because I thought you just circled the B. I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about. No. That's the answer to the equation, Josh. That's so funny. There's just like an edge in their algorithm where they're like, this person needs to be educated. They've gone too far. Once you've hit too many hours on TikTok. I was so mad. I'm like, this is lame. That's so funny. Speaking of lame, though. Yeah. Lame-o. No, it's not lame. Birds. It's the CIA because we love them. Yeah. I mean, we follow them. Yeah. And they've never done wrong. Not that I could think of. No. Can you guys think of anything? Nothing verifiable. Yeah. We're not serious about what I'm about to talk about now. No. This is like, we're trying to debunk it, right? Yeah. Yeah. The Vault 7. Vault 7. Vault 7. Sounds scary. Was a WikiLeaks that happened in March. What's up with that guy? He's free now, I think. Is he? Yeah. He was like, held like prisoner, basically. Where was it? In like, England or something? I don't remember. But I think he was pardoned. I don't know. But yeah, Vault 7 is the name of the WikiLeaks gave to a massive series of leaks released in March 2017. Never heard of them. But detailing the CIA's internal cyber espionage tools, hacking capabilities, and covert software operations. It's one of the largest leaks in CIA history and gives us a lot of information. It gives a rare inside look into how modern intelligence agency conducts digital infiltration. But what it talked about is what every conspiracy person has ever talked about. But it's factual. Okay. So basically, one of the things is a major theme of the Vault 7 was how the CIA has no issue hacking into your phone, your computer, using your mic, using your camera. In fact, they do it quite often. I bet, dude. And even your smart TVs. I knew it. They said if your smart TV is off, they can hack into it and use it as a microphone. I freaking knew it. I freaking knew it. Yep. And another thing that came out was that they were doing fake cyber attacks but posing it onto different countries. So like they would hack somebody or like, even potentially the United States government and it would get leaked. I was like, oh, it was China. Everything in it shows that it was China or Russia or whoever. But it was in fact the CIA. Yeah. Yeah. Because that's how you push propaganda. That's how you push, yeah, revolt. I mean, we see all these things happening already. Like, I mean, just that Twitter handle thing. I mean, I don't know anything about that. But you have those airplane shutdowns, all that stuff. Yep. And it says even with, like if you have this encryption on your phone or whatever, they can still access your microphones, cameras, and GPS, which I feel like we all knew that. Yeah. But then it also came out in this Vault 7 with new or modern vehicles they can hack into your vehicle and control your vehicle. Yeah. Haven't we known that for a while? All the. But this, it came out with. Just proving it. For sure confirmed, which it brought up this, like, this journalist named Michael Hastings. I don't know if you ever heard of this guy. Yeah, definitely. So Michael Hastings, born in 1980, was an award-winning investigative journalist. And guess who really did not like Michael Hastings? Who? The CIA. Sounds about right. The CIA, the Pentagon Intelligence Communities, and government contractors all despise Michael Hastings because he would just do this insane investigative journalism and expose all the corruption that was happening. But apparently, in, what was it? It was 2013. He was talking to people and he says, I have this huge story that I'm about to release on the CIA. And what was it about? Or no, the FBI. No, the CIA. But he had this giant report that he was going to. He said it was a bombshell about the CIA intelligence and all that stuff. And he says, he was telling his friends and stuff, he's like, I feel like the FBI and the CIA are, they're trying to get me. Sure. He's like, I really feel like they're trying to get rid of me. And he's like, I feel like I'm being followed. Started getting like a little manic. And at one point, he even asked his neighbor, he's like, can I borrow your car for a little while? Because I feel like they're going to do something to my vehicle. Within like a week after asking his neighbor that, he died of a car crash. Oh my gosh. But they said that this car crash, so he was in a Mercedes. They said, all of a sudden, it accelerated to over 100 miles an hour and slammed straight into, to a palm tree, they said the car basically just disintegrated. people that watch it they're like why was he driving that fast yeah but like he was like going like i think they said like close to 150 miles an hour just slammed into this palm tree but he said and even in emails he sent to some of his colleagues he said this was like a couple weeks before his crash he said the fbi has been interviewing my close friends and associates i'm on to a big story and need to go off the radar for a bit and he said i'm concerned the cia is coming after me and then what was the big story it was this whole thing about how they're using our microphones and cameras and stuff i think it i'm trying to find i thought i wrote it down but i apparently i did not i mean this is exactly why edward stone became gotten so much trouble yeah because he exposed that like listen they're watching you there's this there's no privacy they're hacking all these things and he's somehow demonized yeah it's like this dude literally would just try to help the people do you know who the number one believer of all this is in the world david donafrio really he let's get david on patreon oh he always has tape over every one of his cameras i mean ever since i was a little kid you should tell the fbi director had it on his laptop i'm like yeah why aren't we doing that i know the the two things my buddy who's an ethical hacker for the government literally he did it yeah but then what we found out about wi-fi the fact that your webcam doesn't matter they can now sonar your room with wi-fi signal yeah i know for real so it's like yeah it's all there dude i don't there's parts of me that just want to become so paranoid they just have to fight yeah you do have to fight it yeah because it's like what are you really going to do about it because even if you live off grid and you get rid of all this crap i mean they're going to use your neighbors are going to use everything around you and now that starlink's a thing i know it's everywhere it's game over yeah we just have to pray that jesus will come back quick yeah please but okay i found it so hastings was working on a story involving ci director john brennan uh and the key points of it was brennan's role in drone strikes uh extra dude oh geez extra judicial killings cia spying on journalists and quote the obama administration's war on whistleblowers wow war on whistleblowers what a hot take like taking out whistleblowers obama the obama administration so that's what he was working on and then gone dude i just had an unfortunate driving accident very unfortunate unfortunate schmelting accident i wonder why they said he drove over 100 miles an hour into a palm tree because they could easily like under the oh he was under the influence they can yeah yeah that was in 2013 that he passed away and then the vault 7 stuff came out in 2017 so four years later then it's like oh see i can in fact take over control of your car that is so where's anonymous we're you know remember the anonymous group i mean like where are they at where's the real like superhero hackers in our life it's probably all working for the cia now i know but there's got to be someone that's just gonna go rogue or a darker thought is that they realize that none of them were actually safe behind their taped over you know yeah what if what if they were a psyop what if they weren't even real i bet you what if that was cia just saying like hey there are good guys out there so because you if you have the thought of like oh there's people fighting for us don't worry about it you control both sides what are we doing it frustrates me can you trust your smart tvs now nope speaking of trusting your smart tvs i gotta pee real quick okay i thought i could hold on to it but josh you can't i understand i understand i got something talk to me how about the asbestos that they were giving people in 1952 you ever heard of kent cigarettes i feel like the name brand's feeling i feel like i could see it in my head so this is this is what the package looked like oh no yeah so literally this is a thing um hold on uh yeah so they had they had to do like mesothelioma settlements because they were um filtering the filters in the front of their cigarettes were literally made from asbestos oh my gosh goodness i think that's what they made that from what a nightmare what are what are we consuming right now i don't know right now that we're gonna look back and be like can you believe that that's what i'm thinking i've seen like a few dumb like instagram reels where people are like uh there's like dude time traveled just back to the early 2000s and like a dude's drinking like code red mountain dew yeah he's like red dye 40 no thanks yeah so funny no you're so right somebody sent me on instagram this week it was an instagram reel that just basically like it was just a lady complaining like if you're a full-grown man you can't drink mountain dew it was a full-on attack at me which I feel good because I haven't had a Mountain Dew in I feel like months two months now that's amazing it's it's truly my body's changing my body's truly living now what's yeah what do you mean weight loss did you not weigh 10 pounds okay that's great that's fantastic um but yeah I was just like fully just making fun of like you can't be a full-grown man and drink Mountain Dew I'm like it's so good though I just finished this book I'm going back to what Josh was talking about just like with presidents doing crazy stuff I finished a book called let me give you the title because it was something called get married why Americans must defy the elites forge strong families and save civilization and in the last chapter he talks about did you know that it was the Clinton administration that basically like put this whole China thing on us he was like we're going to do we're going to send all of our manufacturing to China to make it cheaper and more affordable for our small businesses but also to basically like stabilize the East and like westernize them and all that stuff look what's happened yeah look what he did backfire and I just I thought I thought I could trust the Clintons you can if anyone used critical thinking for like 0.5 seconds they would realize that that was the dumbest choice on planet Earth and like it almost makes you wonder did they want something bad to happen to our country did they want us to get into this the globalist they had something in play for her right yeah I mean like Brennan was talking about the other day this is a spooky thought if we ever went back into World War III we wouldn't even be able to like manufacture our way through it like that's what World War II was so amazing because back home all the ladies were like making bullets and stuff like that and like in the factories with the children and that wouldn't even be able to happen now that was an amazing time bring back child labor but now we wouldn't even be able to manufacture our way through it because China makes everything yeah even her like manufacturing our way through it because China makes everything yeah even her like manufacturing our way through it because China makes everything yeah even her like manufacturing our way through it because China makes everything yeah even her like manufacturing our way through it because China makes everything yeah even her like manufacturing our way through it because China makes everything yeah even her like vehicles and stuff are yeah even her like vehicles and stuff are yeah even her like vehicles and stuff are manufactured they could just turn them manufactured they could just turn them manufactured they could just turn them all off speaking of that I am fired up all off speaking of that I am fired up all off speaking of that I am fired up they're like we talked a lot about bad they're like we talked a lot about bad they're like we talked a lot about bad policy that happens from the current policy that happens from the current policy that happens from the current administration administrations passed but administration administrations passed but administration administrations passed but the fact that Trump just flipped the the fact that Trump just flipped the the fact that Trump just flipped the script on what they're allowed to do for script on what they're allowed to do for script on what they're allowed to do for vehicles they're allowing like the a new vehicles they're allowing like the a new vehicles they're allowing like the a new class Biden wouldn't let him do it his class Biden wouldn't let him do it his class Biden wouldn't let him do it his solution to energy problems was just go solution to energy problems was just go solution to energy problems was just go electric and apparently instead of you electric and apparently instead of you electric and apparently instead of you can either buy a Tesla or a fifty can either buy a Tesla or a fifty can either buy a Tesla or a fifty thousand dollar F-150 and Trump's like thousand dollar F-150 and Trump's like thousand dollar F-150 and Trump's like what do you mean we can make fifteen what do you mean we can make fifteen what do you mean we can make fifteen thousand dollar like trucks that people thousand dollar like trucks that people thousand dollar like trucks that people actually want to buy yeah he's like just actually want to buy yeah he's like just actually want to buy yeah he's like just do that and so we're getting the mini do that and so we're getting the mini do that and so we're getting the mini trucks dude mini trucks dude I can't trucks dude mini trucks dude I can't trucks dude mini trucks dude I can't wait what's the mini truck the Japanese wait what's the mini truck the Japanese wait what's the mini truck the Japanese mini truck the little white ones no mini truck the little white ones no mini truck the little white ones no little like United States mini truck new little like United States mini truck new little like United States mini truck new versions American mini truck yes oh cute versions American mini truck yes oh cute versions American mini truck yes oh cute I can't wait to have that's really Exciting. Yeah. I mean, like with all like we talked about this a million times on the show, but like these electric vehicles are actually not at all any more environmentally friendly than anything we got going on. Yeah. No, I was all lying. It was crazy how much they lied and how like you got to do this. It's like, how are you making these batteries? Yeah. It's probably pretty bad for the environment. Yeah. And also people that are out in the have you seen how they go in like mine for their life expectancy is like nil. Do you see it was wherever in Africa where one of those giant cobalt mines is it got they had like a huge storm, like tons of rain and it washed out the bridge. And so they it's like, OK, mine shut down. No one can work. It's unsafe. But it's these people's like livelihood. Yeah. Like they have. And so they like got together and they like, OK, well, we'll just remake this bridge. And so they just basically did like sandbags and it collapsed and like hundreds of people got. Oh. It's terrible. Yeah. So golly. Awful. Those mines are terrible, terrible. So get cozy in your electric vehicle. I wonder I wonder what that means, too, for all the we talked about with the Texas floods and the potential that they were like lithium mining and stuff like that. Like even with North Carolina, like I talked about a guy I knew who was involved in mining in that area. So I wonder if this is like, hey, maybe this isn't what we actually want to do. Like, let's just go back to like a classic structure of destroying the northern wilderness. And putting pipelines up there and getting oil. Yeah. The old ways. Yeah. Yeah. Let's do it. I will say this. I saw a tick talk about speaking of Michael Hastings driving into a palm tree. Yeah. Apparently quite a bit of people die with their car because their accelerator gets stuck. And this dude said this one piece of information should hopefully save one person's life. If your acceleration ever gets stuck, all he has to do is. Pop it in neutral. OK. All you got to do and your engine will keep revving, but there will be no gear to push your car forward. Oh, I didn't know that that's what did that was gears. I would almost like jump out of the car. Why are you laughing? I sounded like you. I the other day was driving your truck, you know, your vintage truck and. it for some reason it says brake and bright red on there so i'm like oh my gosh the emergency brake is on i've been driving this whole time and then i was like is it so i was at a red light and i put the emergency brake on what it had not been on previously and then i didn't know how to disengage it and the light turned green and i was stuck there for a minute i eventually found it yeah five minutes later i was hoping that the people behind me were like oh this woman doesn't know how to drive stick shift or something but it's not a stick shift truck it just looks like it would be one that's so fun anyway moving on did you guys hear about that kid that went missing in romania no no romania vampires yes really oh no november 23rd doesn't um this uh 18 year old kid uh named michael wants to go out hiking and it's literally winter time so it's just snowy crazy up there and he gets a backpack gets his uh you know jacket on and he starts hiking all by himself and he starts walking in the mountains and everything and he calls a horse and he's like oh my god i'm going to die i'm going to die i'm going to die i'm going to die hotline he finally gets signal he calls a hotline and he's like saying listen i'm stranded i need help i'm freezing um i there's this castle i'm i have no option but to like go in here to find uh sounds like this is a prank no no this is real a hundred percent really you look it up i promise i saw it yes okay come by the fire it's warm don't you love it whenever you're being accused of lying but you're smiling the whole time i'm telling the truth um so he's like i have to seek shelter there i'm literally freezing please come help me and so the the people are alerted and he goes in to dracula's castle in romania it's just i mean i've never seen pictures of it until today terrifying yeah humongous thing and so he goes in there and he has been lost ever since november 23rd the people show up the police get it there helicopters drones with thermal uh imaging um they can't find him they find his backpack on the entrance of the castle with a sleeping bag with food no footsteps no sign of life no sign that he is anywhere nothing's disturbed nobody it's just it's an abandoned dracula castle if they're doing thermo goosebumps if they're looking for a thermo they wouldn't even find him because he's a vampire he would not have signs of life why is your skin cold to the touch you can't find him how long have you been 17 um as if you could ever outrun me my gosh isn't that creepy very creepy strange so no one lives there no it's abandoned i think i mean like there's there's no one that lives there so it's like i don't know like i don't know if it's like a historical thing i hope it like wasn't wolves or something dude remember nosferatu dude that's all i'm thinking about right now the most scary atmosphere ever i still don't understand parts of that movie because so the boyfriend the boyfriend the boyfriend the boyfriend the boyfriend is his estate manager goes there he's getting chewed on and also hypnotized but he goes into a church and they save his body but why is like everybody in their town getting vampirism without being bit or like are they going crazy is it an illness yeah it was the plague remember they had the plague ship that crashed and all the rats and stuff but i thought that was nosferatu's doing i think it was oh yeah like i think he's the one that sent the ship and so just to terrorize the town and cause chaos so he could get the girl the plague is probably one of the scariest stories in history yeah we probably need to dive into that because there's probably some like horror stories that we just gloss over that like no one knows about because it had to have been brutal i think my top three scariest things in the world is like demonic activity anything health related is number two like sickness scary did you ever watch a movie like contagion and then also the crazies did you ever watch the crazies crazies was nuts the ballpark scene dude the car wash scene for me the trailers for the scene like it's just like american home baseball game everyone's having a great time and then suddenly a guy with that was it wait do you have a shotgun shotgun there's a pitchfork there's like oh my gosh it's terrifying and then like ghosts which is probably the same as number one what's your favorite ghost movie um the scariest one to me is like the um with the red face we talked about the other day oh yeah i know what you're talking about it's serious it's serious have you seen 13 ghosts no that one's wild too all right get this the black death black plague only lasted four years only brief it's a president term but within four years 50 of europe's population died i know whoa 50 and they said certain cities lost upwards of 70 percent like florence paris and london yikes because they were pooping and throwing it out the window you know that they do that and how did it originate rats yeah fleas it was actually the fleas that bit the rats yeah but where did the fleas get it well like how does that happen the rats had it they had like whatever disease okay the fleas bit the rats the fleas bit the people black they got spread super super quick break break oh my gosh they said yeah it was the world population at the time the world population was around 450 million historians estimate 75 to 200 million million people died in four years four years that's a world population that's so scary yeah ain't got nothing on tuberculosis dude so that means roughly 14 15 to 45 percent of the world population may have been wiped out which makes you think what would the world be like today if all those people didn't die white yeah oh my gosh that was quick andrew um you know what i think about all the time when i think about the plague is when we were on our honeymoon in scotland and we went on a
