The podcast presents a chaotic yet engaging mix of bizarre myths, personal anecdotes, and offbeat topics. It begins with mystical claims about King Arthur’s tomb, fairies, and Merlin, then shifts to a Roman dictator’s power and how it was used. The discussion dives into food-related controversies, such as the health risks of raw vegetables and arsenic in candies like Nerds, while also featuring a deep dive into Anthony Bourdain’s food philosophy and his warnings about unsafe dining practices. Personal memories, like childhood speedo wear and family traditions, are interwoven with broader cultural observations. The narrative includes speculative conspiracy theories about nuclear bombings and geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding Europe’s refusal to join a U.S.-led peace initiative. A standout moment is the announcement that the podcast’s name will be sent into space on a flash drive aboard a lunar mission, symbolizing a bold, futuristic connection to the audience. Throughout, the hosts blend humor, skepticism, and personal reflection, offering a unique blend of entertainment, education, and absurdity that keeps listeners engaged despite the disjointed flow. The episode concludes with a lighthearted tone, emphasizing community, food, and the unpredictability of human curiosity.
"Hitty, hitty! King Arthur's tomb was found in the 1100s, and then disappeared under King Henry VIII in an all took place on a mountain in Glastonbury." "And there's other mysteries surrounding the area in which he was found. I'm gonna tell you all about him." "Right after this intro. Okay, ready? It's gonna blow your mind. There's fairies involved in everything." "And guess what? Merlin appears!" "Are you going to go?" "Yeah." "And we're going to learn about a Roman dictator that had all the power in the world in the palm of his hands. What did he choose to do with it?" "Stay tuned." "And there's a cryptid that's been haunting the swamps of Louisiana for years. Two hunters went into the woods." "Only one comes out. Hold on to your bio-bootish!" "Holy!" "We didn't say anything." "No, wait a minute." "This podcast is brought to you and powered by Sunday Cool. So watch this or listen." "Good job. Good job." "Thank you. Thanks. You guys were going on and on and on.

"I mean, they say, "Man, too bad for y'all. You ain't got no airflow in your office." "Not my problem. Not my problem. Honestly, I think that's bad for y'all." "Not my job. Not my problem." "Bad for your regulation." "Back in life!" "Get over here. Stop." "I'm all bad." "Over 180 episodes." "Wow." "Wow." "I know. What do we get to do for our 200?" "We have to do something." "We should do it somewhere in a different country." "Holy, it counts." "India." "Greenland." "Greenland. Greenland." "Greenland." "You know what I was reminded of today?" "I used to wear speedo as a kid." "Oh, no." "When we went swimming to swimming pools and stuff." "Really?" "Yeah." "And I'm realizing that wasn't my choice." "To find kid." "18?" "No, I'm kidding." "Holy, he's gonna be crazy." "I mean, I'm. " "When did you buy it for a second?" "Yeah." "No, like, when I was like, it was like before elementary school." "Yeah." "These war speeders." "Where's that line?" "I don't know, man." "You don't make you?" "I guess?" "I mean, someone had to have bought it for me." "Yeah." "I know, it's weird, right?" "Well, you were living. " "Okay, so you think about this. Your step down is a world traveler." "Sure." "And. " "Yeah, but he wasn't around that time." "So, it's really an amazing thing." "Yeah." "When I lived in Africa, dude." "All the French guys on the beach." "Every horse speedo." "Of course." "It was disgusting." "It is." "And it's not just because of the speedos." "No." "Because they're French people on the beach." "Yeah." "I saw the door grows, and then I looked down." "Oh, now that makes it even worse." "Oh, my gosh." "I just. " "You can't look at that." "Tell me about where we. " "We weirdos." "Yeah." "I guess." "I don't know." "When did your step down coming in the picture?" "Round one, I was like. " "I think five, five or six." "Yeah?" "Maybe he was like, we gotta get rid of that speedo." "Probably." "Probably." "Probably." "Yeah." "We moved to California right afterwards, and that stuff wouldn't have flown." "Where we were going." "No." "A speedo?" "Sure." "I'm pretty sure." "We got bullied pretty hard, whatever we moved." "So, I don't think a speedo would have helped." "We should go to California and make sure." "Do some research, see if they. " "Let's get a speedo." "Let's get a speedo." "Let's get a speedo." "I've never had the confidence to wear a speedo." "Let's do it." "Come on." "Why not?" "Calcity really wants me to wear one." "I'm married now, so it's like. " "You don't have to impress anybody." "No one." "Not a chance." "It may be me." "Well, no." "No one." "As soon as you put the ring on, there's no. " "You have a legal obligation." "Yeah, you have to love me legally." "It's against the law." "The old covenant." "Primonah." "Oh my gosh." "Um. " "Yo, what's up?" "Yo." "Welcome back, Lou." "Thanks, guys." "What do you drink it over there?" "Beat juice is called the ABC Apple's Beats Carrot by the health basket." "Okay." "It does make my tilming gurgle." "Does it taste good?" "Yeah, it's a very apple forward, but it's earthy." "I know you're not going to like it." "I want to try too." "Well, he's coming over here." "Genuine question, what is the upside to juice as opposed to getting all of the fiber and just eating?" "No, you should eat your fruit." "You should juice your vegetables and eat your fruit." "It's the real raw." "You should eat your. " "So you're saying it's not more productive to eat the vegetables." "It's not more productive." "You need more. " "Here's a rule." "Okay." "Listen." "I'm listening." "Each your vegetables. " "No." "Each your fruit and juice your vegetables." "Because you need so many vegetables." "It's more efficient to juice them." "But you should eat your fruit." "Isn't there a rule though, like if you juice certain things, you lose the nutrients or something?" "That's what you're saying. There's fiber and stuff like that." "But are you going to eat 12 servings of carrots?" "Yeah." "No, but I'll drink them right now in this thing." "True." "I'd rather eat that." "But is it pointless if you're losing the nutrients?" "You're getting all the money too." "Okay, you get them." "But it's like a fiber thing, continue." Speaking of vegetables. A Chinese man said something over lunch that hit me. Quote, "We never eat raw vegetables. That's why we outlive you." "What?" There's a science that goes on and says, "He wasn't bragging. He was explaining." Raw plants, he said, still carry their defense chemicals. Plants evolve to survive being eaten. Cooking disarms them. "Ooh, takes down their defenses." "How do they know that?" They're Chinese, though. They know everything. "I do believe it." They all lived 200 years old on average. "I don't know if I've talked about this on the show, but my algorithm on TikTok is very Chinese medicine forward. It's really fun because people of all races are getting in on this thing. My favorite one was an African-American woman, and she said, "Me, parentheses, a Chinese drinking my hot water." "I've seen that." "I'm back on the hot water thing." "Every morning drinking a glass of hot water. It helps with your digestive." "Every time you eat a meal, hot water." "Geeho, my Seth Green friend told me to never drink cold water while I eat." "It slows down your digestion." "Or the opposite." "Maybe it makes you go fast." "I think it's just water in general while you eat." "There's supposed to be a period of time before you drink water with your meal." "I haven't drink water in years." "It's smart." "Anyway, congee for breakfast." "It's hot, brothy food." "Tungee!" And they say, "You're eating yogurt and fruit for breakfast." "That's like the worst thing you can do for your belly." "Why?" "Probotics." "Yeah, but it's cold." "You need heat." "I warm up my yogurt." "I leave my yogurt outside." "The boiling tip." "No." "Anyway." "You don't need a hot cottage cheese, dude. What's wrong with you?" "Anyway, these actual Chinese folks are going on TikTok too. They're starting with these rage baits where all these people are pretending to be Chinese." And then it ends with like, "I'm glad. Welcome." And you're holding a breath. This goes on. It says, "Many raw vegetables contain compounds meant to deter predators. They can irritate the gut, block mineral absorption, and interfere with enzymes. They aren't toxins. They're plant alarm systems." "Wow." "That's good because I literally don't eat raw vegetables ever." "That's why raw vegans are so grouchy." "Yeah. This is full of poison. It just doesn't list any of the vegetables." "I think it's all the vegetables." "It was like kale and all that stuff." "Broccoli?" "Yeah. Well, broccoli you should have never eaten." "Isn't broccoli kale?" "No." "They're like closely tied to it." "What's broccoli Rob?" "Dude. I am a good guy." Stir-frying broccoli removed nearly 80% of gochins, compounds known to interfere with thyroid function. Stir-frying broccoli. "So it's good to stir-frying?" "Yes. Don't eat it raw." "Got it." "It's, don't eat it." "Broccoli Rob." "I saw someone make a sandwich in New York with it, and it looked really good, but I just don't, I don't love broccoli. You have to prep it in a certain way." "Broccoli gives me gas." "Something about that specific kind of broccoli." "Taste chemically." "I have made it a couple times for Josh because that's what I buy instead of Josh you know I'm talking about. And you're like, "Why does it broccoli taste like that?" "Yeah, a little bit bitter." "Oh gosh, it's awful." "But that's something he did. It was, they blanched it really quickly." "Cool." "And it was on a sandwich with like a fried eggplant and it was apparently the best sandwich this guy's ever had in his life." "Here's what I was thinking. Broccoli, kale, brussel, sprouts, and more of those type vegetables all originate from the same wild mustard plant. They're all like modern adaptations of that same plant. We should be eating." "If you just eat yellow mustard it's the same as eating a bowl broccoli." "Yeah." "Must of green." "I had a big thing as sweet potatoes today and that was something I'm going to have to get used to." "You like that?" "No I'd like 'em but it's just I'm not used to 'em. Like I used to, I'm used to like freaking loaded sweet potatoes or like having them in desserts and stuff but just having them like in a savory meal like with hamburger today." "Yeah." "Put some curry powder in it. Curry powder is good."

They said elevated levels of arsenic were found in various candies, brands, including nerds, Swedish fish, Jolly Ranchers. - I love Swedish. - According to the Florida Department of Health. - He didn't, I just annihilated some Swedish fish. - Just ingested to one of the arsenic. - Dang, I didn't feel good either. - Might as well as smoked a carton of cigarettes with her daughter. - Dang. - That was fun. - Hope we enjoyed the meth with our children. (laughing) - Yeah, man. - That's crazy. - That's insane. - Well, how is it, dude? I get so ticked off when we just have candy in the house now. Like, we have like a bag of candy that's just in the pantry and it's like, I literally just there's, I just wanna throw that in the trash. I'm like, no one's gonna miss this. - I do it, yeah. - I did do it. And now I'm paying for it. I get asked about it every day. I threw away in a cell in the candy bag. Don't let her see this episode. - Who? - Ada. - Yeah. - Because we keep, every day she asked me, "Mom, where's my Halloween bag?" And I say, "Golly, I have no idea." - That's what I'm just as upset as you. - Did you check under the bed? Did you check in the closet and she said, "Mom?" - We got to get to the bottom of this. It makes you realize that she said, "Mom, you found me in the pantry eating candy out of my Halloween bag." And you said, "Aida, that's a bad choice." And then you hit it in your closet and now where is it? - This is what she said. - Let's break down the events. That's so funny. - It's in the garbage. - I hate candy now, dude. As a parent, it's just like, it's just terrible. It's so awful. - We didn't have it in the house growing up. - No, we didn't either. - Yeah, yeah. - It's probably smart. We keep on hooking on it. - We keep a chocobar stashed for mommy and daddy. - Yeah. - We're sneaky. - I have my favorite chocolate ever. - What? - Tonies. - Tonies. - Tonies. - Tonies? - It's the everything chocolate bar. - Our brother-in-law, Keegan, got us a ton of them. They are salty, they're sweet, they're crunchy, they're delicious. - There's like butter scotch in it, pretzels, nuts. - It's the everything bar. It's the green bar. That's when they have to get like a teal color bar. - I've never heard of this chocolate. - It is phenomenal. - Just get it at stores? - Yeah, you can get it targeting you at publics. They ethically source it as well. So they're conscious. I don't know how it works. - They're ethically sourced it though. - They literally go and milk the chocolate from the piece. - Okay, I've definitely seen those. Yeah, it's like very like 1950 style. - Bro. - African cow. - Oh, that's kind of cool. I like the breakdown on the inside. - Yes. - It's like the cut out of it. - But then you would like get, sometimes you get a little crazy and break off of a few of them. - Good wild. - And Josh was like, I came in the room. He saw I was eating some. It's always after we put the kids to bed. I go and I sneak a little piece. And he's like, were you playing on eating all that? 'Cause he was like, give me a little bit of that. - I mean, the piece was as big. - No, we should've had that big. - Give me some of that. - Speaking of food, I'm going to jump in on my part. - Oh. - I'm ruining kitchen confidential by Anthony Bourdain. - Yeah. - I'm listening to it because he narrates it. - We need to talk about that first of all. - Fantastic. Put it on your TBR, if you have an RA ready. But very graphic and awful. Of course you can imagine. - Just with his language and stuff. - Yeah, and the things that were happening in his life. - Yeah. - You know he was doing like, oh yeah. New York City chefs at that time? Big time, yeah. - I don't know, you could function. - Oh yeah. I mean, yeah, it's, I mean, we've been doing it for you. - Anyway, he has a whole chapter on things that he will not order now because he knows how kitchen street this food. - Give us a few. - So like, for example, he'll never go to a Sunday brunch because he knows it's all old food that they're just trying to sell. Especially getting something like a seafood benedict or benedict period. He's like one day's sauces, basically just a bunch of bacteria, swimming in butter, barf. This was the biggest thing. - This was one of my favorite things in the World Crap Cake Benedict. - I know. - Literally, he's like, I would never eat that. Another thing he said, he will never order mussels unless he is locked eyes with a chef and met them personally. - Really? - Yes. Because they're always dead in the bottom of this thing and they just scoop them out and serve them to you. - I mean, they were dead, they stayed close. - Well, then you cook them and they go. - Well, that's the thing. Some of them won't open and you discard those. - Oh. - You're just getting a little mussel in them. - And then another thing is they, if they send you bread and you don't eat it, they'll put it in other person's plate. - I believe that. - I believe that. - Yeah. - Ew. - That's, yeah, that's crazy. I get scared with oysters still now because I hear like people literally dying or getting like so, so sick. And it's like, how can you trust it? I love oysters. - Yeah. - And stuff. Do you know Anthony Bourdain's favorite film of all time? - What? - You guess. A food-related film says it's the greatest movie of all time, especially with just-- - Willy Wonka. - Radit to me. - Radit to me. - Really? - Yes. He says because he's blown away because of the detail they put into it. If you look, if you watch the chefs that are in Gusto's restaurant, they have burn marks on their arm from literally reaching in the oven, but they don't mention it ever. It's just detailed stuff like that that they cared about and so much. And he loves that movie. - Yeah, the details, too, of like the rats to actually cook in the food. This is like, it's truly incredible. - Yeah, and he was talking about a restaurant that he worked in when he hit rock bottom. And there were rats that would jump out of the trash can when-- - And they would cook the food? - No, they would take food and hide it in the ceiling. And then you'd be cooking. And then the ceiling would cave in. And it was like rats and-- - Damn. - Nasty. - Yuck. (laughing) - Yuck, how are we gonna eat in a restaurant again? (whooshing) - Go back to the reading and listening. - Okay. - All right, have you changed your perspective on, does it count as reading? - It's different. - When you listen to an audio book, does it count as reading? - It's different. I realize that I need to adapt to the times. I think it's different. - Yeah, what do you think? - But I think that you're gleaning information. I think that people learn things differently. Whereas I'm a visual learner, some people are auditory. - Mm-hmm. - And so-- - I saw someone breaking it down. They're like, so do blind people read? If they have a book in front of them and they have relt, are they, because they're not using their eyes? We're not using our eyes when we're doing an audio book. What does it mean to read as the question? - Yeah, what's the essence of read? - I think it-- - Some might ask. - Don't call me, I mean, I'm pretty scientific when it comes to this stuff. - Sure. - And I think it's considered reading. - But I also think it ignites a different part of your brain than just using your eyes. - Correct. - Totally. - Because when I'm listening to an audio book, I'm also doing the dishes. Or I'm doing this, I'm doing that. I'm multitasking. - I can't multitask though when I do audio books. I have to literally sit still, which defeats the purpose. (laughing) - Dude, I think that's why I can't read, 'cause if anything happens in the room, reading's out the door. - Yeah. - It's also someone mentioned writing a book. How do people write books now? Are they sitting down? Are they writing the book out? Is like, am I writing if I typed the book out? - Oh. - So it's like, we're splitting hairs that don't matter. - We don't matter. - When you listen to an audio book and you take it in and you understand everything, it's reading. - When I read my goodreads account, I mark it as if I read it. - Yeah. We can blame this on the English language, just not having a diverse enough vocabulary of just like other, I guarantee other cultures have a word that can fill that void that we have. - May I? - Yes. Yes. - Yeah. - Nice. - Wow. - Why was it gonna make a really fun transition? Was it gonna say like, speaking of arsenic and nerds, let's talk about the Europeans. (laughs) You wanna try it? - Nice. - Yeah, that sounds like a good one. You could try it. - Speaking of arsenic and nerds, well those are Europeans. - Oh, the nerds. - Oh, the nerds, weaves. - The enough. - Yeah, there's a couple of countries that are trying to sign a petition to, oh, I caught the way I would cop. - Why? - Because of Trump. 'Cause we're hosting in America. - Yeah. - Don't they like their soccer more than they care about anything? - You would think, and I'm saying like, it's like those sports, the most important thing in the world. It brings the world together. - Yeah. - And they wanna make, no, I don't want to do that. - Yeah. I don't get that. It's just like, well, it's to,
To me, it's like people who boycott whenever like they went a national championship and they're like, hey, boycott and go into the White House because we got the invite. It's like, you literally have a captive audience. You know, like the president, guess what? You're five feet from him and you could say something. Yeah. But yeah, you're like, I don't, I don't even want to go. It's because they're chickens. You say that, but it's like, I mean, there's been people that have been really respectable. You're like, but what are you doing? Yeah. You have a chance to say something or to change something possibly. Yeah. Show up in the US and beat everyone. Show them protests. Whatever you got to do. Yeah. Talk about what we were talking about. Well, I just want the countries that are boycotting are Germany or they want a boycott. Germany, Netherlands, Spain, and Norway. Germany, really. Yeah. We went to the Olympics when Hitler was the freaking guy. Yeah. Yeah. We were out there running track with. And we beat them. And we beat them. And we beat them. And Hitler looked like a fool. And then he won. And then he won. Well, we're two. Yeah. You guys could win World War three if you come to America, but you got to beat us first, which they probably, yeah, I think it's not normally though. Hey, we love Norway. We're number one. We do. We were number one. But I'm like, well, what about when they played in guitar? Yeah. Because they didn't boycott guitar and they had all these human rights violations in guitar. It was crazy stuff. Yeah. Yeah. It's really uncanny and strange. Yeah. It's really strange. Yeah. It's just funny that Germany's can't throwing the first stone. Come on. And because it's like trendy to hate on Trump, everybody's like in this like anti. He invites. He invites. I think he likes it. That's what he thrives on. Yeah. But deep down, I think he was hurt. And he's hurting inside. And deep down, I think that guy's just sitting at bed at night. He got to realize he's a human being. And I bet he lays down a bed and looks up the ceiling and says, wow, is everyone like me? Yeah. Yeah, more friends. Do you see that? He hurts people because he's hurt. He hurt people. He hurt people. Guys, come on. Come on, everyone. Give Trump a hug. Look at that. You see the interview with Monday. The thing is that's true. What? Monday, where he's like, he's like, did you say that horrible thing about Trump? And Trump was like, go say it. What? With Trump when he was in the White House. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He's like, it's not going to hurt me. Yeah. And he's like, go ahead and say it. Whatever. Call me a communist or whatever you call me. Yeah. So that was a fascist. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was pretty fun. Okay. The other thing that we were talking about with this peace group in Europe. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. The world leader. Yeah. That's the Trump started. Yeah. How it's basically every bit of nuts, I mean, so far, almost all the countries in NATO have rejected the invite to the Peace Board. Sure. Yeah. Which is, it's just, it's a weird, funny, whatever, but like there, I mean, there's a good handful of countries that have accepted it. They've already met a couple of times or at least once. Do we know what countries that is? No. You can look it up. Yeah. But the whole point of it, like to buy your seat, like the one billion dollars, it's literally a pool to try to create peace in the world. But like one of their first projects is like rebuilding Gaza. So stopping, like coming up with peace treaties with between Hamas and Israel and then rebuilding Gaza, it's their vision, their light of like what they're going to do. But I just find it a little funny and ironic that NATO countries, for the most part, we're like, what's happening in Gaza is awful, which it was. Right. But like as soon as there's like, okay, well, we're going to do something about it. Yeah. We're forming a peace alliance. And I know there's a lot of, I mean, that's where I think it's like our weapons that did it. Yeah. I know. But like at least there's a movement to help rebuild it and make it a, whatever. I just keep thinking of the AI image that got reshared. Well, they're, they're really, I mean, they're, it looks super futuristic. Does it look like that? Yeah. Trump City. Kind of. I mean, not like with Trump. I mean, it's not going to have his name, but take that off of it and it's probably the same thing. Yeah. But I'm like, I just found, found that a little, that's the, that's the meetings is everyone's like Trump. You can't put that statue down the main strip. Watch me. I'm going to do it. I agree with you, though, Josh, I think it's really hypocritical and strange. Yeah. It's like geopolitics now. It's just like feelings are getting hurt and it's like all click, baby. He said she said. Yeah. It's like. But it's also interesting. Let's get back to the grant. Let's start dropping nukes and like, let's get back to the old way. Come on. It's funny that Europe all like basically everybody declined this invitation from the United States to create this peace group, NATO, that organization that, you know, we're a part of. And it's like, why would you want to piss us off? Because we basically are like the ones that are funding everything you guys are interested in. And there was that segment that they talked about the world economic forum where it was like the guy of the Finland guy. Yeah. It's like, who's the president like Finland or something? He's like, we don't need the U.S. and this is at the world economic forum. And the lady is like, you sure about that? Like as they basically fund everything in NATO. Yeah. He's like, but we're equipping now to like, we can do this if we can do that. And he's like, we have this many F 16 fighter jets. And he's like, and your question probably is, well, don't American pilots only fly the F 16 jets? Yes. That's true. But we can get our own pilots. Yeah. Yeah. You are you because America. It was. I love talking about it. Yeah. I thought it was going to be more of an exclusive group, but it looks like there's 25 countries that have already accepted it. So I was just reading that on the times of Israel.com. I just think it's funny and weird. Where I was a scriber. Long time listener. Have you seen the growing conspiracy of the idea that we never dropped actual nuke on Nagasaki and Hiroshima? Mm-hmm. Have you seen this? Hiroshima. Hiroshima. Hiroshima. I know. I'm saying. I don't know if I'm saying it right. There's a video game called Ghost of Tsushima, and my brother always corrects me. He's like, it's Tsushima the way it was. I'm like, I don't know how to pronounce it, dude. Not Japanese. But the thing about pronunciation is like, if you actually commit to it, it's like, what do you do it? Yeah. Intellect. Yeah, right. Tateo. Yeah. I was like, we need a fratas. Can I get a corn? Tateo. I'm not doing that. Yeah. But a lot of people are saying that like, yeah, we never dropped a nuke. Like legitimately, like, people are looking at it, and it's just, it's kind of weird because it kind of makes sense. You think about like the idea of like, nuclear fallout and all this stuff, and it just doesn't, you don't see it in those cities. Like, Hiroshima, like, is booming today, and it looks incredible. Sam Tripoli believes that nuclear bombs don't exist. I mean, it was just like, it was just like a huge like a big bomb. Fire raid. Like, it was just a lot. But you still, I mean, pictures afterwards, you still have, you have all these like videos of that we had, like of like what nuclear bombs can do, and it just wipes out everything flap. But then you had, you had power lines still up, you had buildings still standing, and it's like, that's kind of crazy. Yeah. It is kind of strange. Yeah. I mean, I, I mean, that's the thing. We would, we, how would we know? How would we know? But that, that going down that conspiracy, then you're getting to like, the same territories like Flat Earth. Like, they've been lying to us this whole time. Sure. But where's the line? Because they have been lying to us all the time. We just don't know which one. I know. It's a disturbing thought that we have so much information out that we can believe none of it. Yeah. I know. Yeah. Super. Which is that's why I'm excited to have the Jesse guy on about the siops. Oh, yeah. Next week, guys. Yeah. Next week is going to be a good one. Speaking of siops, let's talk about Saudi Arabia. Ooh. Let's go on it. I'm going on it. I'm going on it. I'm going on it. I'm going on it. I'm going on it. I still don't get that reference. Um, Aladdin. Um, Aladdin. I was so into Aladdin. You've never seen Aladdin. It's been on in my proximity. That's crazy. Dude, it's fantastic. Like for Robin. Robin Williams was up for an Oscar for the for the genie. But the thing is he didn't get the Oscar nomination. You know why? Because he impro improvised 95% of what the genie said. And so you can't do that. You have to follow a script. Oh, God. That your improvisation could get you an Oscar nomination, yet you, that's why you're not allowed. And what that's insane to me. I this many days old is when I realized that he was the voice. I mean, dude, you got it. You got it. I mean, now that you're having a kid, you got to raise him right and get him in the good movies. No cartoons. No cartoons. No movies. No TV. You've only seen in world news. Yeah. Just radio. Hey, I'm radio. Miss Rachel. She's getting canceled right now. Yeah. It's been happening. So funny. Yeah. All right. Sorry, Ray. Remember the line? Yes. Where is it? Is it done? Nope. They are scaling it back. Yeah. All right. They're scaling it back. And now they're planning on just making it a data center. So people aren't even going to live there? No. What a base. It's not going to be a line. It's going to be a dash. Yeah. Just a dash. Yeah. They said that they're scaling it back and that it's going to be, it's going to have practical elements like industrial hubs, data centers, centers, centers, full hub centers there. For sure. Yeah. Renewable energy infrastructure. Instead of the grand architectural spectacle that they were planning on building. So they're just like, I mean, what happened there? Why did they change it? It's an impossible task. They're building in the middle.
of a desert and they're trying to like build something that I don't think technology could support honestly. Well, that's just true. It seems so futuristic and they said they're way over budget now. Yeah. Yeah. What were you saying? Baby steps. Yeah. So they're the little data center. Just a little on it. Double wide with some hard drives and then make it a ship. Oh. Yeah. And then shoot it space. Yes. Yes. Yeah. That's crazy. I mean, that was a bummer. I was so looking forward to that. We knew it was going to take forever though. Yeah. And it did seem cool. It was how far you couldn't get all the way to the end, the end like in like 20 minutes or something like that. Yeah. I mean, it was, it seems like something out of a sci-fi movie. Yeah. It'll happen one day. Some type of utopia. Speaking of sci-fi movie, when this comes out, the Artemis II had probably already taken off. Yes. Is there an update on that? They said, I think the open day is February 6, which we're filming ahead people because Andrew is about to be a daddy. Yeah. So go ahead and get mad at us. Yeah. So get mad. We're trying to give him some time off to be with his newborn son. We're going to give him two days. Two days. I thought I got a three day weekend. Nope. Anyways, I got surprised for you guys. You got us to take it on our service. What? You got us to take it to go on Artemis. Are you joking? Wow. We're going on Artemis. Are we going to the moon? Our name is. This is actually for real. What do you mean? What is this? There was this thing. I'm pretty sure they just do it for like little kids, but I don't know what it is. But what you could do is you type in your name and then they put it on a flash drive and then they literally put in the spaceship and that goes around the moon. So our name, Ninjas or Butterflies Podcasts, would physically be in space around the moon. Totally. On a flash drive. The first podcast to ever go around the moon. Yes. Yes. Let's go. That's awesome. That is so cool. Nice job. How'd you find out about that? I just saw a video and I'm like, I'm pretty sure it was for kids, but I'm like, who cares? Get out of the way, kids. I'm going in the moon. Do you have to pay for that? No, it's free. Really? Yeah. You figured they would use that to like race funds for something. Yeah. Cardinals too. Boarding pass. Let's show up and bike. No. I should tell you to school about that. That'd be really cute. No, I don't want those. More room for us. Yeah. Right? They're going to launch that at the moon when they pass by right like at the window, throw it at the moon, the flash drive. I mean, we will be in space. Our name will be in space. That's pretty cool. That's significant. The furthest humans have ever gone. Dude, if it crashes on the moon, then aliens find the hard drive. Let's go. We got to learn more about this. Terrible. Terrible. No, intelligent life. Pretty cool. That would be cool. That, um, we need to make a t-shirt now. The first comedy podcast in space. Yes. Nice. No. We've been around the moon once or twice. That is so cool. We got to frame that. Yeah. I know. Speaking of being around the moon once or twice, do you guys hear what Congress passed? A couple. Wake it. Go, ish. What? They pat, it's this, it's this bill about like car safety and stuff. Oh, okay. Yes. It's been going back and forth, but both Democrats and Republicans are greeting up. Just push it forward. Sure. But in this bill, which I think it's something we already knew, but it's now like in paper. Um, is the government's ability to remotely turn off your car? Why would they want access to that? Well, they say it would be a safety thing, so if someone is impaired, if there's a drunk driver, law enforcement can turn off your car. How do you know they're a drunk driver or they're, or they're impaired? There's been guys, I've seen videos of cops flipping a car because the guy's speeding, but yet they didn't know that he was calling the, you know, the station because his wife was in going in labor. Hmm. Like, how did that, that's not good. No. That's terrible. They get a little greedy and they shut off everybody's car. That's old. That's like, it's literally like the Obama movie. Yeah. 100%. Shredding everything down. Yeah. With all the car stuff working. No booing. Except for your Harley. What's the point of it? How does this get allowed? Like this is crazy. Yeah. Like why would everyone agree to that bill? Why would everyone sign off on that and singing that? This is a good idea. I don't know. Because it doesn't affect them. I know there's more to it. I think there was like some back and forth stuff like they really weren't going to get this thing passed. They just agreed on this one thing, but it's like that that's jacked up that that's a part of our brother. I know. But like, no, vote on one thing. It's crazy. Also, how does that work? How do they like with my like more like a like, would they be able to do it with that? If I'm correct, aren't you carburated? No. No, I thought I thought Honda's were carburated. Yeah. I don't know. Are they? Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, you're fine. Okay. No, but they even they said the thing is supposed to apply to car manufacturing. Moving forward, every car will have basically turn off switch. Which is why we have a zombie apocalypse truck, but that's, that's existed as old as on star. Yeah. But I don't know why. So why is it now? But where do you, where do you draw the line then? Where do we own anything? What make? I think we can they turn off nothing and be happy. Yes. That's what they said. I think the thing is they've been able to do it for a long time. So just at some point, they needed to be like, well, we're, we're never going to do it. And now if we have to, yeah, legal precedent, yeah, now it's like, oh, no, that's what they talked about. Now legally they can. But my whole thing is like, you never, you never write laws based on outlier situations, right? Like those are extreme examples. They can be sorted in the courts, but really you're creating laws for the general populist. But my question would be, how often are you like needing to like, let's just do whatever that turn is where they flip a car. Like how often are you actually throwing strips or emergency stopping a vehicle for real? Like out of the, out of the hundreds of millions of people that drive into that, that we could go ask a plethora of cops in this city, how many times have you actually had to physically stop a car? And the answer is five times a day. Take it back. Take it back. When you're, when you're asking me, you're taking me away from doing it, actually, right? But you, but you go out and say, yeah, and so, yeah, it's crazy. If you got an old truck, maybe hang on to that, they can be worth some money for sure. They've got, they've got a plan, dude. There's something happening because they could turn off our phones, right? Yeah. They can, I mean, that would be just like turning off, like locking or unlocking doors in your house, like automatic doors or something or like alarm systems because like, yeah, I mean, but, but what if there's a gas leak and they're passed out in there, we need to help them? We can unlock your doors. There's like, no, I don't care. Leave me be. Yeah, yeah. I'd get off my lawn. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that electric cars didn't take off like they thought they would. Like they thought everybody was going to move to electric cars. Like, I was talking to Paige about it and she was like, I just don't understand them. Like, really, I think it's designed to make people have to stay in hubs because really, you're only like a two, three hour window from wherever you can charge. Definitely. So if they knock out a few charging ports, everyone's locked down to areas. Well, they made just car, electric cars look so dingous. I know. Like they just like, yeah, like it's like, make them cooler. Make it look like a 1980 Chevy and maybe I would have bought one. I haven't been on a road trip longer than like seven hours and forever. But the fact that an electric car cannot do that without me, like, sitting there at a charge station forever will make a long time, too. Yeah. And you got to plan out your whole trip around the charging ports. I remember you guys getting stuck coming back from Tallahassee because John Rucker needed to charge his Tesla or something like that, right? Well, when are you? Are you stuck at a chili? Yeah, we did. When we did. No, that was Austin. Wasn't it? Oh, it was Austin. Yeah. I got a car, you pick up, they got the charge stations now, and no one looks happy. They're just like twiddling their thumbs, waiting for their cars to charge. I'm like, I don't, I truly don't understand. I could go tap off my car in five minutes. Yeah. Yeah, with dinosaur juice. It also is probably not any more environmentally harmful than what you're doing. Yeah. Not at all. That's why I got my bike that goes 150 miles per gallon, baby. Yeah. Yeah. I love it when people are like, I just saw Andy. That is bike in the rain. That's when I know we will have made it. I hope this year, podcast takes off, and I want a like Ford or Toyota or somebody who's going to come out with these little key cars. I want Ninja's little 4x4 flatbed, something or others. Oh, yeah. I hope that becomes a thing. Yeah. I know. I know any of them. I want to buy a Japanese truck. Many, many Japanese trucks are going to become legalized in the United States. American manufacturing and others are going to import them. They take a lot of crap. So those guys, the mini trucks, they're always having problems. We need a marathon made like Toyota, Mitsubishi, some problems. I'm just, I'm trying to, I'm trying to think about where you learned about the mechanical work. He just talked to one guy in a parking lot. He has like the tank tracker things. He has problems with this all the time, and then I was at Lowe's and the guy had a mini truck. I said, "Sick, mini truck. My husband freak out if he saw that." And he was like, it always has problems. So be careful, everybody. Speaking of always have problems, you can talk about me if you want. The world economic forum, who, who that, what they just said about COVID. Oh, what do you mean? What do you mean? I thought you talked about the other thing. I'll tell you. Ranch is anywhere.

one though like spend about something yeah teeth probably yeah me too I think I go teeth yeah my front tooth's fake so is it really you knock it out I'm chasing my brother on some linoleum lost it and tooth first when I was like eight years old just got him in the whole thing yeah it cracked off other than like a point oh my gosh didn't hurt so much I too thankfully it went completely numb I like stood up smiling I was like that was crazy and I we were being baby sat in my baby sitter just like look like she saw a ghost I was like what's happening and then she like pointed down I looked down in my whole body was just no it was bleeding everywhere I did but I couldn't feel it I didn't know oh my gosh that happened a broken camera went to the park the other day and they were with a friend and they had kids and one of them was 10 and he was like it's like at the uses park that's kind of treacherous and you sure enough he falls comes up all of his teeth and broken off oh my goodness I know awful out Taylor's missing his front tooth and it's kind of like a like a I honestly I forgot about it because he always wears his fake tooth a little denture it's cool it's new though when I met him he never wore it and he just had a missing tooth yeah this is like identity yeah I miss that a little I see it every now and again when he eats something he wanted to get a gold tooth but Madison said no it's so cool dude I always wanted a gold fang for the longest time like a home alone right yeah what's his what bandits yeah um Andrew your turn gosh I don't know but how could you let us run the show hit it with Abby that was good click click click click and we're here now teeth tooth it's scorn what what where they go and he's got a ring got a rose right now I sent a link to an Instagram reel I didn't screen record I honestly don't know if we're going to want to show this so we'll watch it together no it's not like shocking like that this isn't it's it's just talking about some real events in regards to tick-tock this is allegedly I'm using you guys as my filter for what's real I would click it yeah all right three two one oh no oh no I'm not offering loading loading ah to designate the use of the term Zionist as a proxy for a protected attribute as hate speech so if somebody were to use Zionist of course you can you can use it in the in the sense of your proud Zionist but if you're using it in the context of degrading somebody calling somebody a Zionist as a as a dirty name then that gets designated as hate speech to be moderated against over the course of 2024 we tripled the amount of accounts that we were banning for hateful activity we also have I think over two dozen Jewish organizations that are constantly feeding us intelligence and information when they spot violent of trends there is no finish line there's no finish line to moderating hate speech identifying hateful trends trying to keep the platform safe there's no such thing as an endgame we made it so he's a new tick-tock CEO yeah the Oracle guy new tick-tock CEO that's what this claims I have I've literally Adam Presser according to this I haven't fact check I haven't dope third Adam Presser are you looking them up yeah I just think it's Harvard Business and Law graduate I just think it's really interesting they're talking about in 2024 they already started having organizations actively searching through and calling through content on tick-tock for the purpose of literally blocking free speech like it's fine that you can say like hey they're being mean but since when am I not to neck am I not allowed to negatively like let's just say like I defend someone who's not a Christian they're right to be to be able to say I do not agree with the Christian narrative I think you know like I am a Christian but like you have the right to say an open speech yeah you know the thing the way you want to think yeah I don't think Christians are right you can say that yeah you're a Christian that's pretty crazy it's insane that's awesome free speech I honestly I stopped posting on tick-tock for the most part because almost every other video gets flag and that's that's about when when we started like when stuff stopped popping off yeah now when did when did that start happening because remember like maybe it was a two years ago they sold it and it was gonna go away that was a half like half a year ago that was a year ago when they got banned it was in January yeah last year one year the art the art tick-tock it was like banned for like 13 hours yeah when January yeah I was in Montana when it happened my my time I mean that was when Trump came in office like they did like he was like as soon as Trump came in office and then it went way for one nine then boom and then he said a year ago yeah a year ago what is happening I know do you think it was longer or shorter shorter so did our tick-tock start getting things banned after that or was it happening prior to this did since 2024 yeah but there was that there was that period of time where it was just crazy every it was like everything we posted hit a million views and then out of nowhere it was you know started falling off it's correlated but now it's necessarily tick-tock is owned by Oracle yeah that just happened which is an American owned company now and so a lot of things are gonna be changing I think as far as that goes because it's just like a what it says is a global technology company specializing in enterprise software hardware in cloud computing is Oracle not that facility that they built until Veeve is that now what we were talking about that one time that data center was that not Oracle I don't think that's Oracle I don't remember joracle yeah I don't know I just think it's weird I think in the next year we're gonna like A.I.s better like people have been saying apple juice to refer to stuff A.I.s picked up on that he even talks about like using like you can't get around the filter but the fact that there's a word that can be used positively and not band means they're either just this massive army of people going through content or the use of A.I. that they're using to sort through stuff and figure it out it's pretty insane that they're filtering that drastically now that's crazy interesting in 2001 Oracle attracted attention from the computer industry in the press after hiring private investigators to dig through the trash of organizations involved in an antitrust trial against Microsoft they paid janitors $1200 at the association at the association for competitive technology to look through Microsoft's trash Oracle did Oracle did when asked how you would feel if others were looking to Oracle's business activities else and said we would we will ship our garbage to Redmond and they can go through we believe in full disclosure well funny Redmond organ is out - I guess so, yeah. - Is that what Microsoft is?
Apparently. Yeah, it makes sense. You've been there to Redmond. Yeah, no, I've been to Bend I don't know speaking of Redmond, Oregon. Yeah, I've been there before World Economic Forum. Yes, one of their statements because they just met you know couple weeks ago Yes, a bunch of all the world leaders get there and they're not we apologize. We couldn't make it. Yeah, we got the invite Yeah, we just had some things we got we didn't have our spooky don't want to see Elon up there talking No, what did you say? I said we didn't have our spooky demonic costume is ready. Oh Sorry, what do you want to say? Well, he's like a lot of people who he spoke for at the World Economic Forum for the first time ever Elon Musk. Yeah, and they're talking about like space and his new robots, which that was a big announcement Lame lame the whole like technology thing. Remember we were hyping that up like he's like talking to Joe Rogan It's gonna be a huge revolutionary. He said flying cars. It wasn't that no, he didn't say flying cars We show no Joe Rogan asked if there's gonna be a flying car and he's like I don't know if you can even call it a car Because you can't it's a robot Cars are kind of robots. It's his robot called Optimus Cool, and his whole goal is like every human on earth will have an Optimus robot. Yeah, it's there'll be more robots than humans is his goal Don't like that. Yeah, it's Did you know that there's eight billion people? So they say I think there's less I think there's less people why I just think that's a lie. Let's have a census If you're live comment alive in the comments a million could Julian people in the one billion I think is India Anyway, well, he also was talking about aliens and he's like I always get asked. He's on or aliens real and he's like He said Where aliens? I'm an alien. Yeah, and he's like so you're other real. He's like you think he's like they're when you know I said if anyone would know I would know and I'm not seeing any aliens up there with my they've never interviewed with our satellites Cuz they're coming from the ocean. Yeah, I'm coming from the ocean You're trying to go up and get away from here and live on Mars because you know they're gonna come for us What if he is you actually? You know that's like him just being playing out like just in you know playing side just like yeah, we're all aliens But world economic form they came out this statement. It's pretty right on the nose Okay, it says COVID-19 was the test of social responsibility Wow a huge number of unimaginable restrictions to public health were adopted by billions of citizens across the world There were numerous examples globally of maintaining social distancing wearing mask mask Accinations in acceptance of contact tracing applications for public health which demonstrated the core of individual social responsibility How about So they're talking like it's a test. Yeah, but I mean that can mean like Something can test you even if it wasn't Sure, that's probably what it meant, but the world economic form they were talking about us like running through a scenario like COVID-19 Before COVID-19 after like four months before and then and then you find out that the Wu Heng wet market was right next to the COVID factory I thought that was crazy. That's very interesting if you were gonna You should probably just rephrase that differently if you if that's not what you actually meant. Yeah, yeah, for sure But also we just know that like it's to like we know for our fact that numbers were Thrown all around. Yeah numbers were inflated word inflated like We know that for a fact. It's been admitted. It's been shown which is just a bummer And so it's like yeah, what does that mean? What is that like if they're they're obviously were agendas that we're trying to fit in whether there was a world Pandemic or not like people are trying to Makes things happen behind the scenes that we don't even know about. Yeah, similarly They put out a vaccine that was hurting people and so they're saying this like just getting the vaccine was a social responsibility, but it's like People they're when are they gonna acknowledge that people are getting hurt by this vaccine? Yeah, yeah There's a lot of people that I mean that we know that I don't know People that you guys know that we all know like I know that like have, you know, we're healthy people And then they got vaccinated and then you know two or three years later They're dead and they're young people who were yeah, it's like that's scary Yeah, it's very very scary that good that stuff comes out of nowhere and you know, you could chalk it up to whatever You know health stuff and just underlying things, but you never know man. It's so So scary. We just we know we can't trust our government not being they're not being up front with us on any of this stuff No, there's always hidden stuff man. Not good. I saw somebody say they're like could you imagine Like being sick from COVID during the middle of it like because it was scary at the beginning I remember where I was like whenever we like when I found out like The Olympics the NBA finals were getting canceled. I was like, oh, so this is like real We like yeah, it would take so much for those big money makers to just stop. Yeah, and then we find out people are like we have to work from home This all this stuff. I was like this is very very scary, but people who are dying in that time from COVID Imagine like them laying there thinking This is literally the end of the world like they died thinking I know this is the end of the everyone's gonna be affected Crazy to think about I'll never forget Kelsey didn't even be in like should I be nervous about this thing? Probably eight months I remember me like gal's yeah, dude, you're you're you're fine now if you're just now wondering you're probably okay Yeah, that was crazy. I'm excited to talk about that too with Jessie about yeah side up of Like what big sides heavily live through. Oh, yeah, that's gonna be fastening to learn yeah What's up with the world of health organization. Yeah, we said bye-bye Not us. We don't like health see a later alligator who not you Not us Yeah, we left him. Yeah, this fine. I think it's probably fine Well, we what would be the implications of that. I have no idea. I mean We I feel like we didn't really. I don't know who's the leader of who it was Fauci, right? No, some owl or something Let's google it So that's some hours of them. I don't know some hours something next subject Wasn't Fauci no was it Yeah, should have been should have been Fauci was a smart guy. He's a man We said so many words on this podcast. Are you gonna? If you're seeing this podcast right now, it's a miracle. Yeah Oh, um, sorry about FD, you know Gully. What else can we say? Um, yeah, it's crazy. I don't I don't know anything except that we I know Trump. He started that process I think in 2016 he wanted to pull out of yeah, it's officially started last year. Yeah, I'm this time last year And then they started doing all that that paperwork or whatever like to get out of it But then it's official now dude. I don't trust anyone telling me what healthy is like seriously flat out like the Chinese the food pyramid Chinese Joe Rogan nut Japanese not the Chinese government The old Chinese traditions. Yeah, Takashi and Joe Rogan dude I had a that's it. I had a poke bowl today for the first time in forever Poke bowl We needed to make a little slogan for Funko. Yeah, or a little jingle a little jingle. Let's do it Yeah, it's like another quick plug if you were in the central Florida area and you are looking for some tasty delicious food Funkos poke and Mount Dora and Asian snacks. Yes, technically his entire I'm off the ball. I'm off the balls right now. I'm just doing on a garris I had two of those at the before the park the other day And if you guys can't make it go to Google reviews and give them five stars. What do we what do we give the best review? Let's listen to them a little care package. Okay Yeah, honestly. Yeah, maybe we can like Flash freeze some on a garris I maybe I don't know about that We'll see the technology there. Let's just let's just flash freeze some shirts. Yeah I was thinking more of like shirts and stuff Um speaking of shirts and stuff. Yeah, the blood moon March 3rd Okay, put it on your calendars people March 3rd. There's going to be a lunar eclipse It's going to create this bright red moon and it's going to last for 58 minutes. Oh, that's gonna be sick Yeah, remember Jake his picture Thank you took over the moon. What moon was that? Huh remember Jake Hutchinson went to go look at the moon in the middle of the night And he was like I took a picture but then I looked at the morning and it was like not a picture. Oh, I don't know Ignore me continue. No, I just don't remember Continue. I don't remember You can't get mad at me for not remembering something. I'm why am so here we are So where are we going over here? No, keep talking about this. No, it's done and now it's done. That was it Are we gonna freak out about this lunar eclipse?
Like like we did with the last one. I know it's going to be at full peak at 604 in the morning That's that's good. It's a lot better than like the way him. Yeah, that'd be perfect Just set your calendars. I'm excited to see what happens On my game cameras. I wonder how that affects like animal behavior They all just aren't howling even the pigs I just look at my game. They're all all the pigs are standing up on two legs Just in a circle around the feeder doing some type of ritual. Yeah That's a I always I always go back to like how like, you know the ass techs Yeah, all these people like just how they like would have reacted to seeing that Dude, have you seen that scientists? I know you've probably seen this a million times but scientists have gone back To the time where Christ likely died on the cross and that there it did make sense for a Lunar eclipse to happen Yeah, right in that time. Yeah, well, they timed it I think it was NASA that kind of like felt like figure it all the timeline out and it's so cool. Dude, did you know? I'm doing the Bible in the year Laura whatever Bible recap is what it's called. Okay. I'm on Abraham and Isaac He's going to sacrifice his son willingly Isaac was probably like 30 years old by the way We always imagine him as like a kid but their historians believe he was like a grown-up and that he was willingly doing it and the same mountain that he was gonna sacrifice him on That Abraham needs the mountain where God provides is the same mountain that Christ was crucified on really That's pretty cool that they speculate I mean the whole thing is just phenomenal with like We read that and it's like that's what we're trying to tell Jake when we're reading talking about the Bible It's like you don't realize just how much like at all points to Jesus in every single detail which is impossible to do and that whole story is phenomenal like and just I mean you think about in the chosen when they see Abraham and Isaac and he's like He's like I'll carry it for you. Oh my god. She's the sun carrying the heaviness up the the mountain. You're like And the chosen when it's like When he goes back and he sees Ezekiel and he says he's Ezekiel with these bones lives. He says tell me Lord. Oh my god I'm teaching on the woman touching the Jesus's robe in a couple weeks to a youth group and I was trying to think of like a fun story to Like intro that whole premise of like going through a crowd to touch Jesus. I'm literally gonna tell the story of me going up and Shaking John with a ram Rumi's hand Okay, all right you know a weird coincidence is maybe it's not coincidence. I don't think I don't know a lot of these like lunar Phenomenons or like the the eclipses and all this stuff they like almost always fall on a Jewish holiday really that's interesting So I'm like I'm just curious. I'm like as I've heard that before And so I'm like is there a Jewish holiday on March 3rd which the Jewish holidays they only go based off of moon phases. Yeah, which makes sense So this year March 3rd is the Jewish holiday celebrate is Purim P you are I am Purim Which marks the salvation of the Jewish people in ancient Persia Cool, so I just thought that was interesting. It says it celebrates Queen Esther. Yeah, it's overcoming the villain Haman Aiman a mom do you want to read you tales? No, never know. What is that nothing? Why are we fighting? You're the one started it Fight fight fight your beat juice is making you mean. Yeah, that's true. It's the blood of my enemies That's the blood moon right there. She's drinking it. Speaking of blood. I know your Jewish I found I showed you guys. I don't know if I should I show you Andrew I don't know what it is yet. Let me tell you it is So the UFO encounter that me and Lily had with that giant V shape the airplane I'm just can't I'm trolling no, but I really I think I always thought it was A government vehicle of sorts flying vehicle plane You're phone But these these pictures came out of someone taking um It's the first one that was taken in Wichita in 2014 looks exactly like what we saw. Yeah, except what we saw was Had it been lower. Yeah, and it was completely silent. We've talked about this. I don't know if I've not seen this picture before this image in particular Really resonates with me because you can see the light on the Exactly how we described it. So you you agree this is exactly what you saw. Yes, it looks exactly like it. Yes officer. There's no trail behind it But yes, you're on my whole thing you said it like filled the sky. I know Because it must have been literally like I could have probably jumped up. Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with what you said I'm just trying to like because I now live you were in the yard, right? Yeah front yard So I'm trying to like picture looking up in my front yard and just picture like how far out to the sides I'm saying in your yard. Yeah, it would have like been your street It it took up three quarters of the sky It's what must have been low is what I'm saying. How is it silent? That is crazy. Yeah, do they know what kind of That's so crazy that we saw that no they didn't say and for the new listeners I bought his house when I moved here to work here So it was part of the contract it was yeah, you've to buy my house Which we are hiring uh an editor and you are selling a house and we are selling a house So you have to buy our house well no, I have to buy I have to buy your Current house and then they have to buy money, right? Are you interested? No And that to be though the next person has to live with me for two years. Yeah nice nice Um anyways, do you want to hear about a cryptid? Sure This one I was super excited. So This is not a chat gpt story. This is ancient Louisiana folklore Yeah But uh it's cool. It's a modern encounter Um, but it's it's tied to things that the Native Americans and and old Louisiana people Um, not related to the story, but I found out my wife is descendant of a Louisiana governor Wow, I do declare yeah Louisiana woman anyways, what's your what's her last name? Sanders said Colonel Sanders boom Louisiana fried chicken Page oh, it's Kentucky fried. Yeah, that's just me Okay, no, so there there's this story of a cryptid in Louisiana swamps over honey island swamps called the honey island swamp monster So if you look at like where new Orleans is do you know the lake the Pontchitrain So what they refer to it's this big body of water like That kind of splits Covington, Louisiana from new Orleans and then like slide L is to the east If it if you don't know what that means. I don't it's in the middle of Louisiana Kind of on the southern edge. There's this long swamp between the main highway and the Gulf Anyway, so there's this one. There's these two dudes And uh they're flying over they're looking for a cabin and while they're uh, I'm sorry They're flying over and they're looking just looking at the Louisiana coastline and they spot a cabin and like hey be cool to like Go find that old cabin in this swamp So they go in their avid hunters, you know like just out For whatever they're exploring the woods looking for this cabin they come into a clearing And uh when it opens up they look and there is a seven-foot tall creature They describe as amber eyes with long shaggy gray hair And it like locked stair with him when he retells the story says the thing that unsettled him most was like typically it like if I startle an animal That thing's gone and I'm like was that a raccoon? I don't know what it is But it turned and looked at him and they like Have like a moment before it like ducked and left They dipped out they're like yeah, I'm you know, I don't need to I don't need to see what this was whatever you know like yeah So they get out of there well years past 11 years go by and you know it fades into memory It's you know whatever that was a crazy probably starting to assume I saw something different my brain You know, it was like a mangy bear or something like that Anyways, they're duck hunting so they go back into the swamp And they get so far in and they encounter a ton of feral pigs large hogs with the throats completely ripped out They're like this is Unsettling and weird and you know they as they approach to inspect you know Louisiana's full of gators But apparently on this island it was so far from where the water was They're like there's no way it was gators like gators would not be that far from water And when they weren't expecting only one they were inspecting the kill and they found footprints All surrounding the thing Three-toed and webbed and so they they like they saw that and that's when like that was the moment where they're like This is sketchy and they dipped out of there but with the intent like let's come back More prepared. I'm assuming they just had duck guns, you know Bird shot. You're not really trying to take down a big cryptid or monster with that So they came back more prepared and I'm gonna turn my phone around. I'll pop them up on the screen But uh these are the the casts that they came back and they they actually took um They took they took those Yeah, that's that's what they look like. Oh my gosh. How big is that? How did it look like a foot size?
It would, yeah, well, it was bigger. I think they said it was something I'm not positive. I'm kind of trying to pull from memory of what I read, but I think they said it was like the equivalent. It was either 12 inches, which would have been small for a seven foot beast, or it was like a size 12 shoe. - Okay. - But either way, that's still small for a seven foot tall creature. They said probably seven foot, probably 400 pounds, like in the retelling of what they did. And so anyways, they have this encounter, they have these prints, they start telling the story, and then there's this guy, his name is Ted Williams. And so he's another just been in Louisiana his whole life and has the story starts to circulate. He's like, yeah, he's like, I've seen that. He was like pretty frequent. He's like, I could have shot it. Like what are you talking about? He's like, it never meant me harm. Why should I harm it? He's like, actually, I think there's more than one. He's like the amount of times that I've seen him. He's like, there's no way that there's just one of them out there. Like this is unsettling. Well, the dude is like, I mean, Cajun to the core, you know, like Swamp Guy. He went out running trot lines, and literally the story ends, he never came back. - Oh! - Oh! - That's it, that's the end of the telling. Literally, the dude who said, I saw him all the time, literally disappeared. They never found his boat and never found him. All his trot lines gone. - Oh my gosh. - Yeah, dude. And the Native Americans have a telling of a very similar, I forget what they call it. Well, let me see if I put it in here. - Do you know what I would've called it? - What? (laughing) - But I think the natives, that was good. I think the natives, like basically, is like a defender of the water, but known for overturning canoes and stuff like that, but also like a hairy bigfoot type creature. And I haven't done further research, maybe on the next couple of pods I can go into that, but I guess Florida and Louisiana and Texas all have similar bigfoot stories, but the thing that distinguishes our bigfoot from, like the Northwest is like that, when you think of a bigfoot print, the mid-tarsle break, whatever, Abe looking print, apparently the ones down here are three to four-toed and Webb. - And Webb, so they're a aquatic big feet. - They're swamp apes. - They've evolved. - I mean, it makes sense. Do you think about like the difference between an elk and a Florida buck? They're quite different creatures. - Yeah. - And where are they hanging out most of the time, like under the ground in the center of the earth? - Probably. - People think it's weird that like creatures live, but like that pig that I've been hunting is well over 300 pounds and it's in a neighborhood. I'm hunting 15 acres and every redneck in that neighborhood, if they saw it, would pull the trigger. - Yeah. - It's existed unseen and unkilled for quite a few years to get that big. It's like, and that's in a neighborhood, like you just go a little further where you gotta get a boat, like a Louisiana swamp make sense. You know what I mean? Like there's no road in there. - Yeah. - But he's also 300 years old. - He could be. - Houndy year. - Houndy year. - Anyways, yeah, that was the honey island swamp monster. - Dang. - That's fun. - But he's scatty. - There's the guy who took all the, interesting. - Dang. - Do they have a picture of what they think it looked like? - It just looks like Bigfoot. - Oh, really? - Yeah. And they're like, it almost makes the story feel less real because art wasn't there for-- - Yeah, you know what I mean? - That's super interesting. - Yeah. - I thought it was really crazy, really unsettling. I don't wanna run into anything that's for sure. - Yeah. - It's like the Swatman or the old Greg. - Old Greg. - Old Greg. - You know what I got? (laughing) - You like Bay Leaves? - Did you say Bay Leaves? - Bay Leaves? - Bay Leaves. - Bay Leaves. - You have a dry Bay Leaves from a shoe? - Yeah. - Whatever. - Speaking of British humor. - Y'all are like a bread stick. - Like a bread stick. It's being an old Greg. - Yeah. - It's talking about an old king. - Ooh. - King Arthur. King Arthur. - The one? - The one. - The only. - The mythic, mythical. - Nice. - The legend. - The legend. - The legend. - The legend. King Arthur. - Yes. - Not a lot has known about King Arthur. He's just kind of like, in history, there's very like, you know, mystical, like who was he? - Yeah. - But like he existed. - At a negma. - But they think that he existed like, right after the Romans were there. And he was like a chieftain lord. But like there's just a ton of, you know, there's stories about like Merlin and like all this stuff. But in 1191, in Glastonbury, England, these monks were digging around, and they found an oak coffin. And it had two bodies buried in it. A male and a female. And they say that the male was like six foot five. - Wow. - And in this wooden coffin, there was a lead cross in the inscription translated to, here lies buried the famous King Arthur in the Isle of Avalon. So they're like, we just found King Arthur's body. - Yeah, that's pretty on the nose. - Yeah. And so. - Would have taken me weeks to figure out like, but who was it? - But who is this person? - But Glastonbury has just so much weirdness around it already. So Glastonbury was like a pinnacle for like the early Celts and like their weird witchcraft stuff. - Okay. - And there's this basically, if you look, if you type in Glastonbury. - I'm doing that. - There's like, there's this giant mountain. It's like kill, that just like shoots up out of nowhere. On top of it now, I think it's like the tower of St. Michael or something where they built it. But they speculate that these monks found King Arthur's body on this mountain, but this mountain used to be like, have all these like weird stories that the Celts used to talk about that. This mountain was hollow and it led to this inner earth where all like the fairies and spirits lived and stuff. - Cool. - So just weird stuff around this. But these monks, they put it on display basically and like all these pilgrims started coming to see King Arthur's body. And then it, that yeah, so it was in 1278, King Edward ordered the remains ceremony re-barried in a marble tomb. So it'd been basically a hundred, was it a hundred years? - Yeah, around, no, less than that. No, yeah, a hundred years, 80 years, whatever. - 80 years it was displayed. - 80 years it was displayed like in this box and they're like the King Edward's, like let's bury, let's give it a proper burial. So there's like, it gave some validity to like, this is King Arthur's body. So they buried it at the monastery in Glastonbury. And then it was King Henry VIII went on this whole escapade in the 1500s of 1536. It was called the dissolution, sorry, dissolution of the monasteries. So he basically was at odds with the Roman Catholic church. And so he decided to break apart from the Roman Catholic church, start the Anglican church and basically burn down all the monasteries. - Oh no. - And get rid of all the monks, all the nuns. And in that time, King Arthur's tomb, or his, yes, tomb was raided in a dispute. So no one knows where King Arthur's bones are now. - So they just took it. - They took it and they're gone. - Thank you. - Or they're destroyed, no one knows. - Yeah. - And I'm like, wow, that's a crazy story. - Yeah, it's wild. - Also, yeah, it's strange. - I started looking into Glastonbury a little more. - Yeah. - There was an even crazier story around it. - It's people believe that Joseph of Arimathea from the Bible, the man that gave Jesus his tomb, after Jesus resurrected and went off to heaven, that Joseph of Arimathea traveled to England and set up the first church in Glastonbury. - Wow. - That's dope. - Who believes that, credible people? - I mean, all the monks and stuff did in that area. And that's what they taught forever. But I'm like, okay, and there's no like real validity or proof to accept merchant ships would travel from the Israel region to the UK. Never knew that. It was like all the Roman routes and stuff. But there is a tree that is specific to Glastonbury where they call it the thorny tree and the legend goes that Joseph of Arimathea had followers with them and then he went to this place in England and he went to top this hill and he planted his staff in it and it instantly sprung up and became a tree. - Cool. - And he's like, this is where Christ wants us to start reaching out to people and building a church and stuff like that. - Sure. - But there's a tree in Glastonbury that is only native to the Middle East. - Whoa. - Stop it right now. - Yeah. - That is cool. - Yeah. - And it still stands today? - I don't know if that tree exactly, but there's more trees that sprouted from that one original tree which the claim was his staff. - Wow. - Yeah.
That's gnarly dude. What else did you hear about him? Why don't we carry staffs anymore? I'm the song I'm saying. We just start doing it. Yeah. Somebody has to start. That'd be a staff guy. Anyways, that's all that's my story. I thought it was cool. I brought things next week. So they also say, I'm your staff. They say Joseph and Vera Mithia also brought the Holy Grail. Yes, they do say that. They said that he brought the Holy Grail to Glastonbury and buried it somewhere. Wow. Another thing, they have a well called the Chalice Whale Whale Whale. Whale. And it's a natural spring that is red. Iron rich. Wow. Water. Interesting. And they believe it's have many healing properties. They say Glastonbury is like a mecca basically for like witchy folks, but also Christians and stuff like that. Yeah, it was really mythological. That's why they these monks, they say that this story of Joseph and Mithia went and set up the first church in England there because it was the pinnacle of paganism and stuff. So it's like this constant battle. Yeah. That's interesting in Neolithic times. It was an island in the swamp. Yes. And now it's like a mountainous region. Yeah, that's why it says on King Arthur's thing. It says in the Isle of whatever. Yeah, it's because when they buried him on this hill, it was an island, but now it's the top of a mountain. Strange. The title of we could go there tomorrow for a thousand bucks. I looked up like not me. Yeah, true. Your homebound. No passport. Dang. Anyways, crazy stuff. That was really fun. Josh, thank you for sharing that. That's cool. The imagery in that is phenomenal. That's such a fun story. Before it leaves my mind, speaking of grave robbing, that other story that Corey told a buddy of mine that I know from back home reached out to me. He was like, dude, that story is creepy, crazy or think. He was like, he was in my homeschool co-op. Corey was no, the grave robber. No way. Yeah, these homeschoolers. I know, right? That's crazy. Yeah, he was like, I literally like would sit next to that kid. Oh my gosh. Home school. Goose of skin. Oh, I won't. Okay, I want to go to England. England is so, you know, it's so funny about England. It's tiny. You can go all over it, like in two days. Yeah. But I, it's so mythical. There's so much going on over there. It's a lot of history, a lot of history. Hey, speaking of history, have you guys ever heard of Cincinnati's Ohio? No, but it's why Cincinnati got its name. Oh, yeah. This is the story of Cincinnati's the Roman dictator who quit, believe it or not. So back in the day, Roman, when Rome was in a, like an emergency, you know, they were, they were, you know, they were in a pinch. And a pinch, they would elect a dictator, which in our minds, dictators are a bad thing. But back then it was someone that was needed. It was kind of like a panic button kind of thing. So they would have their own Senate and at this time, it was like five, 48 year, the year. And they, the Romans were going against this, you know, neighboring tribe and the Roman soldiers were stuck and they were surrounded and literally were about to just be massacred. And so the Senate is freaking out and, you know, they're panicking and they choose to elect a dictator. And so someone who can come in, who can make the, the quick decisions has full, complete power over Rome. But it's only for, you know, a, up to six months up to a year, they, they're going to be in place. So they, they go back and forth, you know, they need someone who's, who's loyal, who's strong, who's, who's going to have a quick mind for this stuff. And they come up with a guy who used to be a part of Rome's history. His name was Lucius Cincinnati. And this guy was a very poor farmer at this time. He had his own little, small little farm. He worked in the dirt. He was just living his own life. And they elect him. They go, you know, they let him, they just, he was a respected person in, in Rome's history. But he had just, you know, walked away and kind of just wanted to quiet, you know, he's basically retired farmer. And so they went up to him literally in his, you know, farming clothes, completely covered in dirt. They sit and sit them down and they say, we need you with all this stuff. They haven't put on a toga, a toga is a, that's about said yoga. They had him do yoga and he says, okay, fine, I'll do it. And so he shows up literally within the day, he gets a whole Rome army put together. They go march through the night and they escape and they literally just take over this neighboring tribe that was trying to kill them and completely wins them over and then spends 16 days as dictator getting all, all these things ready. And in that time as a dictator, you can, you know, create wealth for yourself. You can take over other land. You can literally do whatever you want. At the end of the 16 days, after all that, all that whole conflict was resolved. He said, okay, I'll see you later. And literally just left abdicated as just bowed down and just said, all right, see you later and went back to be a farmer completely fine. Two years later, they get another pinch, they hit the panic button and he comes back and does the exact same thing and then quits and leaves. And just just a absolute legend guy that did not want power, did not want wealth was very just very humble, a very good leader. And that just became an absolute legend of like, that's how leader should be. That's, that's a person that's not power hungry. And so the only thing he wanted was a city in Ohio named after him, but no, he, that's, but that's what happened whenever they found that city, they named him named it Cincinnati. That's crazy. Yeah, but the cool thing is is George Washington was also labeled the American Cincinnati, because he was president for two terms and did not want any part of being president wanted to step down and did step down.
