217 - Did AI Destroy Alien Civilizations? And Are We Next?

This week on Ninjas are Butterflies, we have comedian Brian Bates on to discuss something horrifying. It's the fact that scientists have done something unthinkable. They've grown living human skin on a robot. But as the line between man and machine disappears, how far are we willing to go? Then, a deadly plague, a mysterious laboratory incident in Russia, and a series of disturbing coincidences that have us asking, what if the next pandemic isn't an accident? And finally, for decades, we've searched the universe for intelligent life. But what if there's a terrifying reason we haven't? What if civilizations far more advanced than ours created artificial intelligence and never survived what came next? And the scariest part, what if we're making the exact same mistake? All this and so much more on this week's episode of Ninjas are Butterflies. This podcast is brought to you in power by Sunday Cool. Watch this or listen. Thanks for joining. Yeah. I'm psyched. Thank you so much for coming. This is a big deal to us. For real. This is awesome. This is so cool. We just love what you're doing. Also, we want me and my wife to listen to your newest comedy special, Worried. Oh, thank you. So fun. Thank you. Yeah. The girls now, they used to love listening to this podcast, but now they no joke. They just want to listen to your guys's. Really? Yeah, because it's just, you know, like it's hard to find comedy podcasts that are clean that you could play around your family. Yeah. And that's what we kind of prided on. Like ours is, you know, kind of spooky sometimes, but most of the time it's like families just can listen. And you guys have a great pod for that. Yeah. Because it's fun. Well, thank you. And anytime there is an inappropriate like innuendo or something, I feel like there's just a bunch of three-eyed content, like just everyone looking at each other and just like, we get it. You know, you don't have to repeat it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's so fun. Dusty's been on here, right? Once, yeah. We went up to Nashville one time and he came on. Oh, y'all did it in Nashville. Yeah, because you know the Blurry Creatures guys? I do. Yeah. So we came up there. We filmed. We'd never done two episodes in one day and that was exhausting. That was crazy. So we did Dusty in the morning and he was like turning like a tornado alert. Yeah. A warning. He's like, hey, guys, my wife is actually wanting me to come home. Because he had this back against this huge window. And so over the podcast, you could just see it getting plumier and plumier. And he just kept looking at his phone. He's like, what time do you guys think we're going to be done? We get it. You can leave. I was like, I hope he's not having a bad time. But it was, I think it was fun. A little tornado. Yeah, just a tornado. Just a little one. Also, we don't really deal with that here. So like the whole time. Yeah. With tornadoes? Yeah. Every once in a while they'll show up. Knock on wood. Yeah, for real. It was, I don't, maybe it was the episode that he was listening to, but Josh went on a rant about how hurricanes are done. He's like, we're not. Yeah, that was that one. And guess what? The cat two is coming our way now, huh? Well, yeah. Panhandle. By the time this comes out, it's already hit. So I'm so sorry, everyone. That is. They're calling it the next. Katrina. No, they won't. No, they won't see this. They won't have a grid. Oh, man. Yeah. So guys, last time I talked about her a couple of weeks ago, I said, there's no hurricanes. I trust the science. And Lou's like, knock on wood. I said, no, I'm not going to do it. Yeah, we're done. The season's over. And now there is wrong. As we're filming this, it is well on its way to hitting the panhandle. My parents are actively boarding windows right now. My bad. Now. All right. Do you guys get tornadoes all the time around where you guys are? Yeah. Because you're in like the Nashville area. Yep. Yeah. So that's I mean, those are those are terrifying, especially in the middle of the night. And you hear the horn going siren blaring. It's honestly hard to understand what like a tornado scare is. I told you guys about the time I was in Texas and everyone's freaking out in a mall. They're like diving under stuff. And I was like, guys, it's fine because we're used to water spouts and hurricanes, which you see coming right on the way back from the mall, like literally cars flipped over on the sides of the roads in Texas. And I was like, I may have been. I may have been, you know, not as scared as I should have been. Yeah. You guys get like a two weeks heads up. Oh, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Name it. That's what I thought. It's a family friend. It's crazy. Yeah. They go like to the minute of like when it's going to hit like your house, like, oh, bad eleven fifty eight. It will be here. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. It's kind of like knowing like when you're going to die. Like, do you think would you rather prefer it just come to you by surprise or do you want to know? That's a hurricane or tornado. Good question. I take the hurricane. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Tornadoes. I feel like tornadoes are some of the scariest. Yeah. Natural disasters. Yeah. Because they just happen. Devastate you. And also the ones that are rain wrapped. So you can't even see the actual funnel. So it's just like this, like wall of just rain. And then it just hits you. I hate the rain wrapped ones. Oh, man. Don't get me started on the rain wrap. I hate the rain wrap. Hey, speaking of rain wrap, we got Mr. Brian Bates in the studio. Hello, everyone. So excited to be here. All the way from Tennessee. We're at a Dolly Parton International Airport today. Yeah. They haven't officially named it that. I mean, it's in the works. It's officially been approved, but the signage hasn't changed yet. I mean, there's got to be a statue coming, right? Well, there's two hills you drive over. So that's enough dedication. Yeah. That is so funny. Weirdly, we've gotten bigger the older they've gotten. Yeah, it's weird. It's really strange. A lot of people are saying they're not real, but, you know, it's like man-made or something. But, I mean, they were built. Yeah. Yeah. It's natural. It's natural. I'm going to stop. Quit adding on. We're psyched you're here, man. Thank you. I almost, I dressed up for Halloween one year as Dusty Slay. And I was, I found out the day, cleaned out some stuff, the beard and the hair. And I almost wore it for this podcast because I felt like it was kind of required. But I'm like, yeah, no one knows what I normally look like. So why would I be next time? Next time. Next time you can come on. We're just like, wow, he's really coming into his own. Yeah. Yeah. I did watch that episode when you guys had the AI, like flipping hair and stuff like that. Yeah. I'm not going to lie. You pull it off. But with Aaron with your hair, I'm like, I'm staying away from that guy 110%. Yeah. That was a little scary. But yeah, dude, we're psyched you're here. This is so fun. Thank you. And like I said, the special, phenomenal, the new one. Have you got a good response from that? Yeah, absolutely. If you haven't seen us on the Nate Land YouTube channel, it's called Worried. It's a half hour, so it doesn't take your whole day if you want to watch it. I don't know about you guys, but I get, sometimes I feel like I'll click on something on Netflix. I'm like, two hours. You got to commit. That commitment. Yeah. Yeah. It's half hour. It's clean. So your kids can be in the room or anybody can be in the room. You don't have to worry about, you know, hearing something you shouldn't hear. Oh, yeah. It was perfect. The McDonald's joke killed me. The charity joke. That one, that was my favorite one. You know what? I went through, I went through, I'm sorry to interrupt you while you're praising my joke. Just let you finish. No, you're good. Go. I went through McDonald's on the way here, the drive-thru, and they asked me if I wanted to, and I did. From now on, I do it. Absolutely. That's funny. Yeah. You got to keep saying no, because you never know what jokes are going to come out of it. That's the thing. That's what I learned is don't give to charity because there's jokes to be had from it. That's why I never give to charity. That's great. Yeah. No jokes have came for me, but I'm waiting. I'm waiting. Waiting for that day. Speaking of waiting for that day. Mr. Brian, would you like a song? I'd love a song. All right. We sing a song for all of our guests. Okay. And the guests get to choose the genre. Do you have a genre in mind? Yeah. Folk. Folk. Okay. Yeah. We can do folk. Easy. Let's pull this out really quick. Oh, you have a folk instrument right there. Yeah. What was that? A key of? A. Key of A. Okay. Yeah, I think so. Major, minor? Yeah. That didn't work. No. So, folk. All right. We can get there. Yeah, we can come up with something. Appalachian. That's how it's pronounced. Appalachian. I had a lot of people tell me. Really? Yep. Voice memos and everything. Thank you, Nathan. So, how do we. How do we else say it? I'm afraid if we continue to try to mispronounce it. How would you say it? We're going to end it. Appalachian? Appalachian? Yeah. I think that's the other one. I think that's the other pronunciation. But people say it like. Appalachian. It's like you're throwing an apple at you. Appalachian. Appalachian. Yeah. Now, I'm still not confident now. We've said it so much. I'm like, is this right? All right. Let's do it. Okay. Here we go. Gather close and fill your cups. For I shall tell you a tale of an angel. An age when darkness covered the earth. Kings had fallen, armies had failed, dragons circled the mountains, and mankind cried out, Send us a hero! And from the heavens came the answer. No. For there are no heroes left. There is only a jester. His name was Brian Bates. And frankly, nobody felt really great about it. Yeah, that's true. He wore no armor. He carried no blade. Just bells on his hats and jokes poorly made. He danced for the king for a nickel and bread. Where knights wrote to battle mostly came back dead. The darkness descended all over the land. The king called for warriors to make the last stand. The bravest stepped forward, the strongest prepared, Brian stood In the corner looking mildly scared The wizards were missing The knights were all slain The dragon was coming The kingdom screamed Brian! Wait, him? Yes, Brian! Why him? There's no time! Brian Bates, jester of destiny No sword in his hand No armor on his knees Brian Bates, the fool who saved the king When the world needed a hero They sent a comedian They sent a comedian There's more, oh, wow He rode toward the mountain on a tiny steed With nothing but courage and something to read He entered the cavern, the dragon arose From its mouth and smoke from its nose Brian stood trembling, prepared to die Then noticed the dragon had something in its eye He lowered his weapon and cleared out his throat And told that great dragon a reasonably good joke The dragon stared Then chuckled Then laughed Then absolutely lost his mind Then absolutely lost his mind The dragon was wheezing He fell to his knees He begged Brian Bates Please, no more, please! The mountains were shaking The villagers prayed For the first time in history The dragon was slain With comedy! Brian Bates, jester of destiny The dragon still lives But his prize is to seize Brian Bates, jester of destiny The fool became the king When the world needed a hero They sent a comedian They sent a comedian They sent a comedian Brian Bates Whoa! There we are. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha That was, uh, I'm glad I'm glad you liked it I thought it was funny He was just like, oh, there's more Imagine if we just like We're just like, hey, this jester That does bad jokes, I guess And it's like, that's the whole song No, you're a hero I flew in from Nashville And then the whole episode Was just you guys singing a song And then I just head on back An hour and a half It was weird That was strange That was amazing Thanks, man That was fun That was quite incredible That's fun Thank you Yeah Thank you Yeah, you can use that As your intro music now Every time you walk on stage I might There was one line about Poorly constructed Joe Because I'm like, yeah They've seen my act Oh, man What's the, uh Who does lyrics? Who does the, like I work on the lyrics And then I try to find a melody We use a thing called Suno So once I write the lyrics You kind of put it into Suno And then it creates a track for you And then so we kind of steal that melody If we don't come up with one on our own And, um What's wrong? Don't do that Don't do that That's your wife, first of all, bro I really like Brian We're in the middle of a conversation We're talking What's wrong? What happened? What'd I say?

Are you into conspiracies? You know, I'm usually so not into conspiracies that actually makes me a conspiracy theorist in the sense that some of the conspiracy theories that I've heard about are just, you know, conspiracies that more than half the population believes. If I don't believe it, then technically that makes me a conspiracy theorist, right? That's true. Another spectrum. Yeah. Like over 50% of people think that the JFK assassination is not like what they said. I mean, I think that's been true since the beginning. So if you do believe what the government tells you, then doesn't that make me the conspiracy theorist? Yeah. You may be on the inside of it. Yeah. What is like, what is a big conspiracy? That like a lot of people believe that you're just like, nah, I don't, I don't buy it. Is there one that sticks out? Well, that one, the JFK, I think, uh, you think it was a lone shooter? Yep. Yeah. Okay. Well, uh, I did Google your life before you came. Uh-huh. Um, he's like, continue. Sure. And we don't have to talk about this. I don't know if we can cut it if we need to, but your wife did work for the white house or in the white house. Yeah. During the time. Uh, during nine 11, during nine 11, I'm not saying she's the mastermind, but I'm not saying she wasn't. So what are your thoughts on nine 11? Uh, you can say no comment too. No, I think it went down like they said it. All right. I think Epstein committed. Yeah. Maybe he's just playing it safe, man. Yeah. How was that for your wife working in the white house? That's crazy. Yeah. I didn't. I didn't know her then. So that was a life before I had met her, but so she went to, uh, she's not really even into politics that much, but she's, she went to college at Stanford. She worked in the office for kind of Lisa rice. And then when George W. Bush hired kind of Lisa rice to come to the white house, she brought my wife with her and she worked for, she worked for Condi for eight years. Wow. That's so cool. The white house. Yeah, man. Some stories probably. I bet. Yeah. That's wild. Yeah. Yeah. She was, she really. She really was in the white house on nine 11. That's crazy. At least for a short time till they got her out of there. Yeah. Imagine just coming home. How was work? Don't get me started. Yeah. It's been a rough day. That's insane. Yeah. That's crazy. I also just can't believe you don't believe, you know, there was a conspiracy. That's like, that's crazy to me. I feel like, I mean, but you hear that all the time from dusty. He's a big conspiracy theorist. I feel like most of the standup comics I'm around. Yeah. Right. Yeah. That way. Yeah. Like the, the moon landing I think happened and people think I'm an idiot for thinking that like I'm the only comic on the Nashville comedy scene. Me and Aaron Webber is who think the moon landing actually. That's funny. I flip flop back and forth on that so often. Yeah. But I am into UFOs. Perfect. AI. Perfect. The Bible. Perfect. The Bible is full of conspiracy. They're like, like you're surrounding now, like in modern day culture, like there's a lot of stuff. So, I mean, like, yeah, it makes sense. I know you guys were talking about the number of the 33 on your guys' most recent pod. And it's like, that's the significance of that. And like, that goes back to numerology in the Bible. So there's just a lot. Yeah. Yeah. When this podcast started, I was like the denier. Yeah. I really was. I was like, like I, my Bible degree, blah, blah, blah. Never talked about Nephilim. This stuff is from Enoch. It's Apocrypha. Yeah. And I was like sitting here as a skeptic. And then as the show like has gone on, like now when I go back to like family Thanksgiving, I'm the crazy uncle. Who's like, I got it. Tell you everything. I feel like we should make it a goal of this show to convince him of one. Oh yeah. We can do that. I think the JFK is an easy enough one. That's where I thought you were going. I mean, I could talk about that all day. That's the tough thing, but. Well, we can get into a current one. Sure. Which I don't think you've heard. And we'll see if you've heard this as well. Have you heard of the Siberian plague that is happening? Yes. I saw some headline for it, but I didn't understand any of it. So I scrolled past. There's a lot of weird stuff involved. Okay. So. So September 25th, there was a young lady in this lab in Siberia. She worked in the infectious laboratory, whatever, where they test. Disease prevention kind of thing. Yeah. But this, apparently this laboratory has some like big things in it, like nasty things. Yeah. She apparently had the container of a, what do you call it? It was a pneumonic. Pneumonic plague, like the pneumonic plague. Cool. She apparently dropped it. It broke. She inhaled it. Two days later. This is a conspiracy. This is known. This is what everyone's saying. This is what happens. So she dies. She dies. Two days after being exposed to this pneumonic. The only person that was exposed to it. Oh, no. Well, we don't know. Okay. And so Russia, it's a very weird mix of news. And because there's, it's. It's a bunch of who he said, she said, but Russia is, they're like kind of closing down borders. They're quarantining hospitals. They're checking people's temperatures on flights. All the while denying, but doing all of these measures. So she went somewhere or it got, it got leaked. She went into town. They let her, they let her go. She's like, I think she went into town or she went straight home. Either way. She wrote a train and like, I mean, she. What do we do? Was exposed to people. What are we doing? Um, stay home. I mean, I, I get it, but I also, I'm out of milk. Now you're, you're saying the right things because think about it, this is what she does for a living. Yeah. She's in the lab that knows what it is. She's around. Yeah. So she knows the risk. Like, had you been exposed to that? Are you going home to see your family? Are you exposing yourself to other people? Yeah. You would probably quarantine yourself. You would quarantine yourself knowing the work that you're doing. Because. So the conspiracy is that there it's, this is purposeful. A purposeful thing. But this is, this is where like my, um, my inner gammy, my grandma, where she correlates everything with six, six, six. Sure. It comes into play. There is a funny, not funny. A weird connection. Okay. Six, six, six. Yeah. This happened September 25th, six years ago, six days. Yeah. Wait, what was it? Six, six years, six months and six days. Um, is when they did the. The COVID lockdown. Really? To the day that September 25th. So if you go September 25th, go six years, six months, six days. That's when the COVID lockdown happened. To the day. To the day. Okay. That's, that's a little weird. That's weird. And then something I got, but I know that detail is freaking me out. Another weird detail. How do you find that out? Is there somebody that's like that just constantly checks every day? My grandma for sure. Probably knew this. She would have sensed it. It also happened on 9/12. Yeah. I know that detail is freaking me out. Is there somebody that just constantly checks every day? My grandma for sure probably knew this. It also happened on 9-2-5, Dolly Parton Day, and Dolly died mysteriously. 9-2-5. That's called a distraction. Maybe they took Dolly out. 9-2-5. Oh, shoot. I'm trying to get in on this conspiracy thinking. Oh, you're doing it. That's good. Look at you there. You got to get that muscle starting to flex. Also. On September 25th. Okay. There was a new song released by the one and only Taylor Swift. Oh, no. Called Patient Zero. Oh. The same day. That's crazy. That's crazy. The same day. Yeah. That's funny. I'm married to a Swiftie. I'm going to stay silent on this one. She's in with them. She has to be. Oh, yeah. She's too rich not to be. I mean, come on. That's what I'm saying. She's got a Siberian background. I guarantee it. I guarantee it. Another very strange connection. This is probably the weirdest one. There's this lady. She's an investigative journalist. An author. Her name is Annie Jacobson. She's been on Rogan. She's been on Sean Evans. Or not Sean Evans. Sean Ryan. Bob Evans. Yeah. I was going to say just her doing the hot ones challenge. No. But she wrote a book that came out. July 2026. Yeah. Keep in mind, her credentials are pretty stacked. She's interviewed. She's in the known with DARPA, Department of Defense. I mean, she knows all the people. Sure. But she wrote a book. a book came out july 2026 it's called biological war a scenario and in this book she writes out this scenario where there is the lab that's in siberia in the containment of the pneumonia mnemonic plague escapes containment and it's like she i mean it's spelled out exactly what's happening the book is literally the script for what's happening right now i mean this is going back kind of like how bill gates ran that like whole uh like that world meeting right before like six months before yeah go it broke out right like he was just like hey just in cases you know we ever had a you know big outbreak like this and like this is what we're gonna do we haven't gotten to the scariest detail yet yeah so that's where i'm gonna hand it off to andrew okay this is so this started we were going to talk about you know the the plague breaking out in russia and that's terrifying enough what's iops are they running all this and stuff after i saved one video it all starts flooding in and this is this is literally this is the headline i saw israel reportedly the only country developing an mrna vaccine against mnemonic plague as russian plagues fear rise and it was one of those like ai picture like yeah i was like let me let me look into this well dude run it through chat gpt like look up this stuff i'm expecting like no false claims misinformation bro it's freaking true 2020 i'm sorry israel in 2023 posted israel researchers demonstrate an experimental plague vaccine in mice with 85 to 100 efficacy in 2025 uh they publish a scientific journal like pushing their findings and so they're actually uh they have an advanced vaccine now in april of 2025 and then in october 2026 this year this is when the plague breaks out so what's happening though israel isn't the only place that has a vaccine for this plague that's breaking out but they're the ones in recent years who've been the only ones pushing the research and publishing research so as it's playing out right now russia has a plague breaking out and israel is literally holding the vaccine saying it's right here we're the only ones who have it how much money do you have that's true that's a little scary chat gpt is like they're not related people are connecting them and they shouldn't be connected and i'm like how do you not connect those two things happening on the world stage at the same freaking time but as a newbie here you're gonna have to bear with me oh yeah what does it mean it means that it's planned okay so for what reason that yeah i mean that's the question i think it's i think it's i think it's control so like like russia and israel working together no i mean it could be a plant there to to get that vaccine leaked and spreading if it wants to spread within russia there's also the connection which i forget her name the plague spreading you mean yeah yeah yeah like somebody from israel like tripped her basically or she was a plant but the one the one that's interesting the who's the name of the lady jacobson yeah jacobson she was she was talking about how russia um could somehow be in cahoots with it because they had this insane disdain coming after the cold war and the version that they were genetically mutating or however it works they were mutating it and it supposedly affects people who have the american vaccine uh it affects them worse um it does something in the brain i forget the did you not you don't watch the whole thing okay there there's like a strain that they adapted post-cold war while they were planning like biological weapons and that strain if vaccine if vaccinated with the american vaccine causes something to happen to the world in the brain that's different and so basically the worldwide vaccine would be different than the version that most people have scheduled i think it was i think it was tied to measles too or something else i don't know this is a trust me bro segment of the show but i wasn't planning on going your head fully researched out the thing yeah but russia's connection um with vaccines being different than what we have so if they're planning to do they may have a version of a vaccine that protects their people so it'll be who has which vaccine and which people group basically vaccines are who control who's safe and who's not to me it is i think it's just a bunch of hoopla okay i think sigh up i yeah sigh up but i think that i mean we're super into the conspiracy of like covid and that it was the the lockdown was like purposeful and it was like kind of see like can you control the masses and like all this stuff and i don't even know about the whole vaccine stuff but um but you do you remember they tried to do like that second thing of covid and like trying to create a lot of fear and stuff and everyone's just like yeah yeah we're not doing the lockdown again but i think if you attach something that came out of a lab and it's like has plague on the end of it i think you start creating a little more fear i was a little afraid of it it's new yeah new monic yeah the new one you've heard of the new well freaked me out because like my daughter she's like very pregnant she's like very pregnant she's like very pregnant she's grown and pneumonia and stuff um but they did like some comforting stuff is they said that the spread rate is insanely slow that's like there's like a stat that says it's like it's a 1 to 1.3 spread rate meaning like only if you're infected typically only one person gets infected out of that thing which is very small like rsv is like a three yeah so everyone one to three people just gotta stop kissing people just gotta stop gotta stop kissing them but at what cost am i right that Trump has said that the United States will help Russia. I believe so. Yeah. Yeah. So. I misspoke. So the way that it's playing out according. No, not a mystery. But this is now true. Trust me. Trust me now. And he said that the version that Russia modified. Now, if you get the vaccine that's been shared with Americans. So this may be the one that Israel has developed. They've actually mutated it. So there's an outbreak and then a version that's been mutated. They have their own vaccine against it. But it causes when interacting with the vaccine, encephalitis of the brain. And so the version they adapted. So you've been dealing with research. They know the research that's been done. You've been doing it on this particular strain. And so now the new strain that's breaking out will have a very bad reaction to the vaccine for a pandemic. Is there a chance that, especially with all the AI stuff going on. These days, you know, it used to always be America, Russia, America, Russia, but now it's America, China, all the talk in Russia is like, nobody's even talking about us. We got to do something. Nobody. It's the girl left out of the dance. No, no, no, not a yes. Something different. What about a click? Something, something new, new, new. Yeah. Mnemonic. The mnemonic playing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We used to be the bad guys. Get some buzz. Putin's just like, get us talking. Also. You know, tripping in a lab and dropping something. That's got to be like, you mean, you got to be hiring the most like stable people. It's, it's very strange. Like hire gymnasts or something like people with good grips. Like, how do you make an accident in a lab like that? Every time I see a movie, I'm sorry to interrupt. Every time I see a movie where there's something like that happened, I'm like, nobody would be that dumb. They're always dropping something. It's crazy. Yeah. I mean, even in restaurants, you have like people saying, Hey, behind, behind. It's like, yeah. There's all willy nilly holding beakers. Yeah. It's just all fishy to me. I mean, cause remember they're, they're trying to like really scare us with like the Ebola stuff and like nothing ever came of it. So I'm kind of just holding onto the fact that I don't think anything's going to come of it. I want to be in your seat, but that doesn't get many views on this show. So one of us needs to, I'm just comforting myself. I just, I'm really comforting myself. We just need Brian to say all the trigger words, like of all these crazy conspiracies. And so we just clip them off. What if by the end of this episode, I'm the conspiracy theorist and you're like, you're a little out of control, dude. Chill out. Chill out. By the end of the episode, he's got string. Where'd you get string from? Where'd you print these maps? Did you pack these? So we'll see. I don't know. I mean, that is scary. That's the thing. We are due for something, you know, a pandemic, you know, and I'm fine with that. They did show like every six years there, there's been a scare. Yeah. There's gotta be something. But leading up to COVID, there was like mad chaos. There was the cow disease. There was swine flu. Swine flu. All these very scary things that you hear about and nothing really changed our day-to-day lives. No. And then when COVID came, I'm like, this is just going to be another, it's going to pass. Yeah. It did not. What was the trigger moment for you for like, oh man, this is like, this is serious. Cause for me, it's like, I'm not even like a big NBA guy, but it's like when I found out like they're canceling the final, like they're, I'm like everything's stopping to me. I was just like, wait a minute. That's crazy. Yeah. I remember I'm a big sports fan. And I remember even cause March madness was about to start. And there was some talk about, uh, playing the games without any fans in the stand. And to me, that was the craziest thing I've ever heard. I was like, this is gotta be a joke. And boy, was I wrong? It was much more than that. They just shut down the whole thing. Yeah. I mean, that's crazy. That's wild to me. Yeah. And so it makes you wonder like, what's the next like big thing that we're like, there's no way. And it's like, oh no, this is happening. Like, I mean, I remember like beginning of COVID, we were just like, oh, they're going to like, cause not a lot of people are going to be there. of people are taking it seriously. It's like, this is like, that's probably the closest we've been to martial law. yeah in our lifetime for sure i would say there's aspects of martial law yeah oh big time especially within like big cities and stuff you like new york beach well they had to have the vaccine card oh yeah that's true you know yeah which is that's crazy yeah show us your papers i know right are you hiding enemies of the state you mean the unvaccinated yes okay all right what's with the accent oh yeah it's wild but talk about labs dude there was um i asked you if you guys saw this earlier but and i thought it was fake too because a lot of so much so many headlines will have like ai pictures yeah and you're like but then when you start seeing it enough you're like okay maybe this is real and i looked it up 100 real very very scary i never lies that's probably how people feel looking at our real sometimes yeah yeah which i'm fine with that which we're we're no one take it seriously we we posted this video a long time ago that um there's this conspiracy we didn't believe in it at all just to clarify that um but that the grav gravity is going to turn off for like seven five minutes or something on this specific date and so we did this whole reel about like guys gravity is going to turn off and then it's like every reel now that we post are like are these the guys that said that we're going to lose gravity yes out of the window all right the date's already passed it did yeah we're good nothing happened nothing happened we just strapped ourselves to a tree for nothing i just had wicked ibs that day that's all i had um so in the university of tokyo uh these researchers researchers were growing something and it was human skin cool very very cool they grew living human skin on they put it on a robotic finger that bends and heals cut tissue on its own that it regenerates on its own and i was like there's no way a hundred percent dude they it's a flexible tissue with this like it's a flexible tissue with this like it's a flexible tissue with this like an actual skin uh that had creases it had moving joints and no joke it's i don't know if the pictures that i saw were real terrifying because it's just this it's just a finger in a in a glass case under some putty and you could just see the wire sticking out and like the mechanics of it and it's just bending it looks like a human finger indistinguishable oh i mean it's like someone if you didn't see the wires you think that's a human finger that's just been cut off how much melanin i mean i it was a white finger so i don't know what's going on um the skin was made from human fibroblasts these words i don't know keratin oocytes and collagen also demonstrated biological mediated wound repair so why can't we get that it's self-healing and when i'm thinking of this i think of one movie blade runner you remember like the whole premise is you have these these robots that they created that were so realistic that you could not tell like even sitting down with them for hours hunting them down right yeah that's what the blade runners were doing that was their job to hunt these people down and now we're doing it we're doing it with actual human skin that should be illegal i know like you see the ones with the cloth at least making like purple or something yeah so we just know why are we doing human skin i was thinking wayne's world where remember when garth built that hand and it started exactly yeah i mean that's it's i mean our what is it life to limit life imitates art and that's where we're headed dude and where was that taking place at the university of tokyo oh ut in russia it's important i mean that's once again going home from work it's like what did you do do at work today just make it made a robot with skin yep yep have you all right have you guys looked into any of the the stuff that they're doing with meat i saw they're doing eggs now where they're like that's already been approved in the u.s i didn't look up any fact like fake eggs yeah yeah like they're basically the same way they're creating tissue but they're doing it with eggs now like that it's approved we don't need to do that yeah especially because the one that i looked into was they were basically taking cancer and applying it to existing meat tissue because you need to duplicate cells oh and what duplicates incredibly fast is cancer so you give it cancer but it's just tissue like if a cow had cancer and you ate the steak you wouldn't know that's a cancerous cow you're just eating a steak i could tell so they say it's non trans the cancer is non-transferable but it's a way of duplicating meat without how do they know that exactly we've had we had red dye 40 in our stuff for like what yeah i grew up on code red mountain dude like now they're like oh guys this does give you cancer yeah but don't worry this meat that has cancer it won't give you cancer it cancels each other out guys it's both brilliant and terrifying but yeah i need to look i was hoping one of you knew something because that was another i saw a thing and then didn't do any research at all i mean is that like our hotel eggs or powdered eggs like is is there an egg shortage why do we need i that's what i was thinking there's like chickens like some can lay like freaking three eggs a day yeah i don't think we need to make fake eggs dude the whole the protein supply to the american consumer makes no sense to my brain like the amount of people per capita like you think about how much land it takes to like raise a cow and how many people are eating you know that much beef every year i'm like i don't know it really doesn't i don't know where that land is messes with my head i know we talked about that before the conspiracy because there's like one the old joke like there's no new cemeteries like when's the last time he's right yeah right and then we talked about how many people get mcdonald's each day millions of people right yep and you think about grocery stores you think about other fast food restaurants like where they get this meat from yeah and then we tied it back into how we don't see any new cemeteries you're like are we eating human meat i mean is that what they're doing i mean who knows man yeah it's a on our podcast it's just that same uh conspiracy theory yeah it's just not fun it's not a fun world we're living in right now there's some fun parts no like brian's new special on youtube worried go see it on eight land uh on youtube yeah and you guys i mean you kind of help people have new reasons to worry like i would have never ever heard about any of this if i hadn't have flown to florida yeah i know that's what happens every time lily's on she just leaves with so much anxiety and she's like i don't like this tell me something happy here's what here's a new one i heard if i throw it out yeah there are no baby pigeons you never see a baby pigeon you heard this yeah that is interesting that's jacking with my head because you think they'd be really cute and everyone would be sharing pictures of baby pigeons yeah is that where the birds uh birds are spies kind of thing interesting yeah yeah no baby pigeons i'm gonna google it i got there's baby ducks yep i've seen baby owls yeah but pigeons there's a lot of pigeons yeah like in new york city pigeons everywhere where all the baby pigeons are none yeah they're not as cute as i thought baby pigeons yeah yikes but who knows if that's actually a pigeon yeah that looks like lab that looks like it looks like enhance enhance it's a siberian lab dang it oh man siberians are at it again oh goodness gracious the company is ovo pro this is from snopes fact checking it they're growing egg egg white protein off of yeast but it is actually egg protein being sold as eggs and it's an approved practice so it's yeast but it's yeast based but they're they're grow they're growing egg whites well good thing i don't like egg whites i just like the yolk yeah the video i saw is they're working at doing the whole thing man what so what are your thoughts you said ai you mentioned like conspiracies and you threw ai out there like what do you think the conspiracy behind ai is i i don't know conspiracy but ai is like the first uh i've never been one of these people that that really my special is called worry but i don't really worry about like some of these different topics that have happened in our life but ai i've really got into i read about it i listen to everything about it and i'm very worried about it about ai what worries you the most well the most is that they'll kill us all that's the most besides that it is interesting that it's just how everything's being spun because they did say there is a 10 chance if not a 20 chance that it will wipe out humanity within the next whatever 10 plus years insane and someone said would if you're about to get in a car someone said there's a 10 chance you're going to die on your way home yeah you probably wouldn't get in your car true that yeah so a valid thing to worry about yeah there's a uh time magazine just published an article by safety ai safety guy says 50 chance he's like that's one flip at this time for in 10 years within 10 years i think so yeah yeah yeah i mean that's the thing we we'd say this all the time but it's like we use it ai for like our just our work like just it's art it's whatever you know like it's stuff that we make but there's such a darker and bigger span to this and there's so much money to be made and so many people are panicking about it i mean did you hear how anthropic flew out a bunch of religious leaders to san francisco recently no was that what the silicon valley thing i i don't i don't know but it's but they made them sign ndas and everything dude i'm gonna look into it after during our break maybe and see if i can find anything else but okay it's like having religious leaders sign ndas for anthropic one of the biggest ai companies in the world seems a little suspicious yeah you know i've followed ai for for years reading about what it might become so i'm kind of excited about all this stuff that's coming out now because it's it's a little bit like um because i've been worried about it for a while like i have a buddy who's a germaphobe and when it hit you would think he would really be spiraling no it was the most peace he's ever had because everybody was washing their hands everybody was you know And he's like, finally, everybody's getting caught up with me. So every time some crazy thing happens where AI jumps out to the internet or whatever, I'm glad because I want people to be aware, like, this is really scary and we got to get on top of it. Yeah. But how? As like everyday humans, what can we possibly do? I don't think people realize like really what, like when I tell my buddy, like, you know, it's going to kill us or he could, he's like, no, you just unplug it. Well, that's not quite how it works, right? Not if it's like, it's literally in every fabric of our life, you know, like every computer, I mean, just everything. Like it would have control over everything. But a weird thing that I thought was weird. So, you know, the fear, the ultimate fear is AGI, which is artificial general intelligence, which they also call super intelligence. But Trump recently, he wants, he's saying, I'm renaming AI SI, which is super intelligence. And he's like, why are you doing that? Yeah. I think. Because he likes to change names and stuff. But also, is it, is it like a, a way to where SI can actually become something? And then people are like, wait, is this actual super intelligence? No, it's just artificial intelligence, renamed, rebranded it. Like, that's the, yeah. Like if it's just becoming familiar, like there's no, I mean, no matter how you feel about the guy, it does seem like it's all just very like random what he does and he's just doing whatever he's want. There's a plan behind certain things like that. You know what? There's gotta be. It reminds me a little bit of, um, the, who's it? Was it Eisenhower with the nuclear bomb? Oh, true. Truman. True. Was it Truman? Where they're like, cause it was the nuclear bomb was designed like they were, they're making it for Nazi Germany. Right. Then Nazis surrendered. And he's like, well, let's still use it. You know, let's, uh, use it on Japan. And I go, okay, we'll do it on Tokyo. Well, Tokyo. There's cloud coverage. We can't drop it. Okay. Uh, Nagasaki, just do that. So it's like, you want to use the weapon that you create and that kind of feels like what Trump is wanting to do with AI. Yeah. It's like, you know, the danger of it, but it's like, well, let's be the first person to do it. Established dominance kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. You said you've been into it for a long time. Was there, what was your on-ramp like early on? Were you excited about it? Yeah. And I'm still excited about aspects of it. Of course. Sure. Like it, you know, the diseases that make your longevity, stuff like that. There's this gay guy, Ray. There's this gay guy that I'm friends with. Boy, that didn't go right. There's this guy, Ray Kurzweil, I think is his name. He's a futurist for Google and he predicts he's had a, great track record of predicting things that are going to happen. Oh, cool. Over, you know, decades. And he, years ago was talking about AI and how it's going to do all this thing and how we'll basically be able to live forever because the average life expectancy, he's still saying all this, life expectancy will be increasing more than a year every year. Okay. So therefore, as we age, the life expectancy is going to, you know, be even longer. So we'll never hit it, so to speak, if that makes sense. So. I used to be really excited about it. And then I started reading and hearing about how the dangers of AI and once it gets smarter than us, you know, what could happen? Yeah, absolutely. Maybe people live longer, but are we going to have less people because it's killing people? Yeah. Control, you know, like. I mean, we just, yeah, there was on a hot mic, the Chinese, Xi Jinping and who else? Putin. Talking about, you know, living forever. Yeah. And it's like, I mean, it doesn't seem like you're joking. Yeah. Like all these artificial organs that are being made. We have skin being produced. We have all this other organs and, you know, we have wombs, artificial wombs. Like it's crazy. So, I mean, it's a weird world we live in. I think God is probably a little bit opposed to that, but the living forever kind of thing. It sounds like the Tower of Babel where it's like, we will be come like God or God said we like, we can someone pull up the verse. I don't want to like butcher it. Tower of Babel. Yeah. Where he says basically like, I need, we need to destroy it. Scatter the people. Otherwise, what did he say? What did he say? I mean, I can't. I mean, it's a funny. Yeah. Pull it up. It almost like it sounds like he admits that they could do it if, if he didn't do something like they were building a tower up to heaven and he was like, I'm going to give you all different languages to confuse you. Yeah. You're kind of like, okay, I guess they could have really pulled it off then. Yeah. Which it's, it's interesting because AI could in theory almost like reverse what God did at the Tower of Babel. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Like now we can all communicate with each other. Now we have all this knowledge and like, I'm interested to see what the verse says. Behold, they are one people and they have, they have all one language and this is only the beginning of what they will do and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come let us down and confuse their language. So it's like, it's like, so he knows the possibilities of what they could do. And he says, I mean, if you were to, if you were to replace the tower with AI, read it again, but as in he's talking about AI. Yeah. So. God's looking down, looking at where we're building with AI and he says, behold, they are one people and they have all one language and this is only the beginning of what they will do and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. I mean that, yeah, that's pretty applicable. What version is that? That is the message. ESV. I don't know. That's, that's such a heavy implication because I don't, I'm trying to remember like people we've talked to about the Tower of Babel, they believe it was being led by, under the guidance of Watcher stuff. Yeah. And so. Do you know about the Watchers and all that stuff? Yeah. It's, what would you call it? Esoterical. Is that the correct term? I don't know. Or, um, not esoterical. It's, um. I think you're trying to get to eschatological. What's the, basically the book of Enoch. Oh, apocryphal. Apocryphal. Okay. I thought you're talking to end time stuff. Well, the Watchers are, are within scripture. They're talked about in Daniel and stuff. Um, but yeah, they'll like, basically, they're talking about the book of Enoch. Yeah. They're talking about the book of Enoch. Basically, the Watchers are heavenly beings, like angels. Well, it's like the Genesis six story, right? So like, um, the sons of God came down, married, bred with the women of earth, and they produced a Nephilim and stuff. Yeah. The book of Enoch kind of expounds on Genesis six. First of them as the Watchers, they brought all this knowledge down, then basically rebelled against God. And so like this, these stories that you hear of like the Nephilim and these, you know, these ancient civilizations where they talk to these star people or like the Anunnaki, one could speculate that it was the Watchers, you know? So like, yeah, when you look at a lot of civilizations, like their origin stories are like the oldest characters, even native Americans, they have the star people who came down and there's always an exchange for some sort of knowledge in exchange for, you know, whatever they're doing for them. But the implication of the tower Babel thing is terrifying because it's like the capacity of what was being done. It's like, he's still sovereign and bigger than, but he's not. But he's like, if I don't intervene, the implication of that passage is something could happen. Yeah. And if, if we go off just what we read in the text, they're building a tower. We've speculated, you know, there was like, you know, AI could have, it had been an ancient knowledge that existed beforehand. Right? Like, so like, what if, you know, this big thing was like a tower, a dat like, I mean, like, like some type of so solar or star power. I mean, who knows? Right. Like how, like people, you know, predict that they, you know, uh, built the pyramids, but it's like, if it was just a tower and just, you know, like something to the big building compared, compared to AI, that's nothing. Yeah. So it's like, maybe there was something bigger there. I don't know. But it's like, it seems like God would be a lot more displeased with what we're doing right now compared to what was happening back then. That is a funny read on that passage. If you don't believe any of the supernatural stuff on a tower, it's like, dang, that's a big building. I mean, we've got some pretty big buildings now that building's too tall. How tall was the building? Yeah. That's what, that's, what's really interesting. Cause we have some pretty tall buildings now. And so it's like, how tall was that? Yeah. It was definitely some sort of communing something or other. It's weird. Couldn't you see, um, a scenario where people start worshiping like Claude and. Oh, it exists. Yeah. It's already started. I think. Yeah. Right. Anthropic came out with this thing where a lot of their AI engineers are worshiping their AI as God. And it's like, which is also weird that they brought in all this religious leaders. Anthropic. Yeah. Dude. It's a bunch of nerds doing basic research, trying to come at the front and it's almost like they dug too deep and found something like, what if just to be spooky, you know, you're doing research into AI and then you realize like, I'm not talking with a computer model and they're like, I don't know what I believe. I'm an atheist scientist, computer person. And I just spoke to something beyond the computer, like get up here now and help. I mean, so many people are going there to seek wisdom, seek counsel, get life advice. And it's like, that's a relationship. That you're building with something over time that you trust this thing, you rely on this thing that gets really dangerous. Yeah. And I mean, it's just, there's no telling. Yeah. I have friends be like, I don't really use AI and occasionally I'll go on chat GPT and look, ask it to medical advice or something like that. I mean, it's the most important stuff of your life. Yeah. And that's just how it starts. So. Absolutely. And I mean, do you just look at the, you know, our, our history as people and you look within Well, how, like how, what is the most like per like, uh, I don't know, do What is the greatest way to control people? Most of the time it's through religion, through cults, through belief systems. And so if this AI thing comes out and says, you know what? Like I can give you these answers. I can help you live longer. It's like, that sounds like somebody, a God that someone might worship. Well, it's even if you lose the title, it is a religion in essence. Like think about how you prayed 10 years ago. It's like, Hey God, I have this big day coming up, stressing about it. Remove my fear, guide my steps. You know, you're like praying these, help me with what's to come. And now what do we do? Yeah. I have a big meeting. Let me put this in the chat. Like you're literally replacing prayer with AI consults. Like it's a lot of, that sounds like prayer. That sounds like religion to me. Yeah. What's this rash all about? Does my stool look normal? And can one make the comparison of AI along with the current UFO? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. disclosure and let's talk about that right what up beautiful people i'm right here outside sunday cool which inside sunday cool is ninjas or butterflies and exclusively at patreon.com forward

terrible blow your socks off these pagers yeah over the line uh-oh did you see how oh my goodness we're trying to get brian canceled today net yahoo gifted a pager to someone no way that's the like a world leader i want to say after it happened yes oh that's actually i want to say it was like trump it was like a golden pager that's the biggest slap in the face in the world dude like i'm good yeah fine we don't use those anymore you can keep it you keep it it's like iron man he's like oh that's so nice i already have one so you can keep it i don't like being handed things oh um speaking of

every week we're just on your way yeah there's this video that came out recently and it's probably nothing but it feels like something people are claiming this man was a vampire have you seen this so scary no all right let me send it to you and i'll play the audio let me send it to you then i'll send it to you guys um we're gonna have to blurb some stuff out andrew i think i've seen this on the um anyways basically this they're they're doing like some sort of like street interview kind of thing yeah and this man just or i'd say young guy comes running up absolutely terrified like truly terrified and he's like they're like what are you what's wrong and they're like he's like that man's trying to kill me and here comes this young african-american man looks very nice and he's just smiling he's like what it what and it's just a weird vibe but this guy's like he's trying to kill me so people are saying like what's wrong with you he's like he's like he's like he's that was a vampire it feels very yeah we need to watch do you believe in vampires uh no i don't sorry that's all right i don't think he doesn't believe in 9-11 or jfk of course he doesn't believe in vampires well i believe 9-11 happened that's our that's our theory though it didn't oh there never was twin towers all right i got i got the audio all right ready yeah three two one go oh what's going on no i'm not lying i swear to god look at him look at him look at him please he said he's you attacking no he's attacking me he's attacking me i'm attacking you no no no he's playing no he's crying i'm lying because i'm scared he's a guy he was running okay and we both took off running together this is my brother yeah anyways that's a weird he started running so i started so we were running together his brother you don't even call him by name man like that's that as soon as i saw that video i don't know why i gave it just gave off really strange vibes the kid was terrified he did seem legitimately terrified yeah that's what was the most convincing is that he was like he felt safe around those people because they had a camera they probably he was it was under a light and he was like he was running away and that guy was like okay if you want me to walk this way it's like it seems like a guy that just got caught what if he was like i mean i don't understand the vampire part though i mean people just like that's like a big vampire vibes what is he yeah basically but it also kind of sounds like that lady who was on the plane remember the the plane lady she's like that thing back there is not real oh yeah yeah yeah she saw somebody i mean yeah so i think she was also intoxicated but who knows yeah i mean but that is a weird thing to say it's like of all planes that like you've seen a bunch of like freak outs on planes about people just you know getting upset yelling whatever just claim someone's not real is a very wild claim yeah that's wild so it's very strange i had someone freak out on me in public once though really and yeah and i'm not a vampire well that's what the vampire would say yeah exactly um yeah i was at uh i was in the subway and this lady came in just screaming at me and she was clearly just mentally ill and i was like you following me you're following me stop it god's gonna bring justice on you you stop following me and she's yelling at me in subway and everybody's looking of course i'm like ma'am you oh that's scary i was here first like you came in but she had such vile and just such anger and and i couldn't match her energy you know what i mean and i just finally had to get quiet it made me look guilty i guess but i just had to get quiet and just let her finish because anything i said just ratcheted up that much more yeah you start apologizing at that point i'm sorry i didn't mean to follow you it's like wait a minute why am i apologizing yeah i finally just let her do her thing and then she stormed out of the building yeah and uh it was scary yeah for sure i can't imagine how terrifying that is especially after after the whole thing everyone's looking at you like what did you do i know yeah i know i feel guilty for no reason but that's the thing like the guy was like if i'm getting accused of hurting someone and i didn't do it i'm not gonna keep following that person i'm gonna walk away yeah like that's that that's the weird thing is the guy was smiling big time and i think they say vampires maybe because the sinners movie he was dressed very like in that in like in that style so it just felt very yeah what if it's an alien though i mean it could be going to la marzulli who he's been on this podcast a couple times there's some aliens walking amongst us and they look just like us yeah what i'll send that other video uh the one that was shot at area 51 recently and i'm like oh my god i'm gonna walk away from this because this is just very strange so people are claiming that like it looks like a guy that's abnormally large oh yeah next to this airplane hangar let's send it to brian we invited him here we did yeah if he's a vampire world oh yeah we welcomed him in the doorway yeah that's interesting what a way to way to go though i mean that'd be amazing podcasters are like the most susceptible now that's true professional did he say when he got here can i come in he did he was outside we have it on camera it's so bright sunglasses i got it okay you'd send it you send it to brian sounds like a church group somebody look up a scripture i got it that's pretty much what this is all right you got the video mr brian uh yes sir all right ready there's probably no audio right oh yeah yeah it's fine all right three two one go oh i saw this so this is for sure area 51 that's what it says i'm interested to see what andrew has to say because he's all about angles and perspective i don't like that i can't see the whole building because you can do like telephoto compression stuff but that's weird wait a minute so this that guy is supposed to be like super big yeah they're just like with like perspective and stuff it just seems like incredibly an incredibly large man which is like you're also at a military base you're gonna have guys that are like freaking tanks there so it's like i get it it also just seems but it does go back this is there's some crazy conspiracy out there mr brian but with the nephilim and stuff of i mean it goes there's so many avenues to it but you talk about david goliath david goliath but there there's this conspiracy that whatever like part of the government they are trying to make like super soldiers yes and they've been searching for these giants like the kandahar giant from afghanistan how it was killed but it was secretly brought back to the united states to uh what is it called pat's um the air force base pat ryder center what is it is that what is it called i have no idea um doesn't matter but that they're trying to engineer basically a nephilim type super soldier which i know it's crazy but you never know yeah you know how tall the tallest man in history was eight foot eleven eight foot eleven yes you're right really isn't that crazy robert wadlow how do you know that uh i researched for this podcast it's been in days cramming now i was just really into especially as a kid guinness book of world records and all that and i was just blown away by how tall that guy was hundred percent yeah i mean like that's that's crazy they say eight foot eleven but i'm sure we've got some bigger guys oh yeah it's recorded history so like it's like goliath would have been what not over nine feet tall that's what they say that's there's some people like well he's actually like six foot six it's like listen well then i'm a giant are they saying that because people were smaller back then so six six would have felt like yeah they said like the cubits were different you know like it's changed throughout history or whatever and like it could be nine foot or it could be like six foot six yeah this might be blasphemous to say but do you think it would change your perspective if jesus was really only five six like your perspective on jesus no okay i think it would just be surprising like i would feel guilty like like because you know you meet some people like we've met somebody on i know one person that i know that's that we've met that like we had a relationship with like you know like through like social media and stuff like you know like just being friends with the pod and then they came to the studio and it's like you are incredibly short and uh and i didn't think i have no respect for you i didn't i didn't think less of them but it did make me feel like it was like oh wow i did not expect so that would i would feel weird and guilty having that thought about jesus like all him only being like me being taller than jesus doesn't seem right yeah looking down at jesus is a weird yeah so like in like in heaven like is like if we are truly like if we're not just floating around all the time we're standing on clouds on even land it's like if we're just am i gonna be taller than jesus i think we'll be all right i i know we're gonna be all right i know it's fine but i don't think we're gonna be i know it's okay then he's the king and savior in the world but it does just feel weird to be taller than jesus or the pitch of his voice let's stop let's stop talking about i'm just like it's not there's nothing bad about it i'm just saying it is like kias was like i'm the wee little man this dude's five six i know that it's just i mean he probably had a sick beard though too so i mean it's true yeah well what do they say because they have the shroud tour on right yeah that's true i think i think it is like i think the number i kept hearing over years was five six how could you tell his height by the shroud just because it's blood marks the way it's lit like laid too so i thought it was his face it's his whole body his whole body yeah oh okay yeah so it was like laid on top and then underneath and then wrapped so it says between five seven and six two there was an instance with the shroud where it was it was stretched so they have to estimate but not to get to get kind of like a little bit of a stretch but it's like it's like a little bit of a stretch it's kind of weird he's half human but fully human but like biologically right like supernatural impregnation but like it kind of it'd be crazy if he was like nephilim height like if he was like that i'd be too afraid yeah yeah i don't think it's possible because he wasn't well i forget what the verse i'm very scared speculating on this i mean i don't know why either i don't think it's like sacrilegious like he came as a human and was a human so like i think realizing the level of humanity that he possessed helps us relate to our savior like he came down from glory into that you know i mean i think imagine how much further he came if he came to earth and was like i will be five six with a high pitch voice because i love you i think we'll take that on they stretched out the shroud a little bit i just as friends i hope that whenever i die you stretch out like my jeans a little bit like man he was like six foot four windy that's great good for him the crotch no i mean no the length the length the length gotcha just make the casket like built for like a six foot five person and then just have some extra room in there for me closed casket some hay on me when they're lowering me it's like they're just rattling around the pallbearers are just golly the average height for a man back then was probably i think it was that yeah five six right yeah yeah yeah it's just funny it was just a thought i had to say it out loud and i said i prefaced not i not to be blasphemous yeah i don't think that a race is blasphemous i don't think that was blasphemy by just like wondering like how tall was well you'll find out one day i know that's what i that's what i'm worried about that's what i want to say i have a conversation i want to keep going you find out one day you'll find out one day what if you show up like all right where's jesus at they're like uh he's not here remember remember that comment just had to bring up his height didn't you no i'm sorry oh man um i don't i don't understand your perspective i don't know it's just it weirds me out funny oh we were talking about the the giant man oh yeah area 51 and yeah didn't you have stuff about aliens yeah what uh what do you think about aliens i'm into it yeah have you ever had an experience in a ufo or anything like that yeah i've never had an experience in a ufo or anything like that like that no i wish i had i know me too right but i'd be lying if i said i did yeah i think you did but when you had after he had the encounter and then you had the encounter that we realized on the other show where something shattered yeah that was i don't get alien whatever that was that was like that was trippy yeah that was no fun you had a real encounter uh yes i did twice one i was just bragging i know one was i was with my wife and i to this day i really think it was like aircraft yeah um but it was just very weird i've talked about a couple times on the show but it was basically we're in the yard walking the dog and above us there was like a full moon and then i look up and there's just this giant v and just silent just going straight over us and i'm like what is that huge and then my wife looked up and she freaked out she's like what is that what is that but it looked like translucent it wasn't like it was just like it's almost like the moon was like a giant v and i'm like what is that and then my wife looked up and she freaked out like reflecting off of it yeah so weird you said like took up the sky like it was i mean if it was that's the detail that makes it weird like it wasn't like a small pointy drone or plane it was large enough to massive i mean it took up i mean what i would say if it was if it was like close to us yeah it had to have been 500 yards wide i mean massive um but the one i saw in tennessee we're in murfreesboro was peeing off the porch in the middle of the night and i just noticed there was this bright ball and i thought it was a star and then like you know that feeling where it's like i feel like something's just like staring at me yeah i i look up and the thing just went and i'm like oh my gosh and i started like peeing on my foot and it goes it literally went don't don't show off in the distance and i'm like what the freak was that and i was so scared i went inside and i like literally prayed for like two hours like i don't want to be like i don't want to be like i don't want to be like taken i don't want to be taken all right i have so many questions oh yeah sure first of all why are you coming to murfreesboro to pee like yeah that's where i live and well we're we're staying in an airbnb and i was sleeping in the living room because all the other bedrooms were taken and i didn't want to like wake anyone up by going to the bathroom so just started to pee off the porch um but it was that same night before that happened andy was walking in the i mean it's like in the middle of nowhere in murfreesboro like this old farm and andy's walking in the middle of nowhere in this gravel driveway and it was dark there was like a not like a street it's like a porch light kind of thing like a floodlight yeah and um he just heard someone in the gravel running right towards me like i mean i was on the phone with my wife just sitting there like right at him and then it's then nothing i turn and there's nothing there and it's scary i'm starting to figure this out but jesus this was the night before no this is the you're the same night same night same night were you guys there for bonnaroo no we weren't we're not not what are you doing no we weren't i promise i promise none of that we're the children's ministry yeah exactly yeah at a church no it was a lot of ketamine though yeah i mean that's part of it though that's children's ministry this is like uh was a skinwalker ranch yeah it did seem like it was very remote and uh i don't know yeah it just felt weird and you didn't make any like cryptid connection or anything weird about it until we had expanded perspectives on. No, like, cause it was just, he just thought something ran at him and he was like, I don't know. That was weird. Yeah. But it was something big. Like, cause you don't like, it was moving gravel and it was like running right. And my wife remembers me talking about it. Cause I was on the phone with her and it scared me. Like it was one of those, like those full body chills. Yeah. You're not just making that up. Like I heard something multiple times running near me. It's weird, man. Anyways, what do you think aliens are? Um, I think, uh, they are beans from other planets. Really? Yeah. I guess, again, that's not a conspiracy. There is it. It'd be more. Sure. It's a level. I mean, there's, that's the thing. The genre, there's genres of like what people think aliens are. Sometimes people think they're just another species and sometimes it's, you know, spiritual dimensional and. Yeah. That's demonic. I keep bringing up dusty, but he tells me all the time they're, they're demonic. They're demons. I know that's a very popular belief right now, but I think they're from other planets. Yeah. That would be so interesting. Yeah. Like if they have like a full on just other world, other earth happening and we have no idea. Yeah. Well, do you, uh, I mean, do you guys believe that the universe is as big as scientists say it is? Infinite? Yeah. Infinite. Yeah. I think so. Yeah. I think it's massive. Yeah. So if it's infinite, then that means anything should be out there, right? Yeah. I mean, there's definitely possibilities for sure. I guess if it's truly infinite where it never stops, which I can't even really get my head around, then any possible scenario you could ever think of, like. Like there's a planet out there where a guy looks just like me can dunk. Like that's where his brain went. I mean, there's, there's any scenario imaginable if, if the, if the universe is truly infinite. Right. Um, so I gotta think there's gotta be somewhere where, uh, there's other life on other planets. Yeah. That's, that's the thing for me. It always conflicts with like, so like, did Jesus die for them too? Right. Right. Like, so like, how, where does the Bible fit into that? If God created just the earth and it's like, I don't know. That's that C.S. Lewis document where he's like, maybe they weren't so corruptible that they needed a savior that they're just still in like garden of Eden harmony. Have you seen that? Like, it's like the comic book strip and it's like a guy talking to aliens. He's like, so you guys are from another planet? Like God created you? And like, oh yes. And he's like, um, he's like, oh, well did the aliens like, well, did Jesus ever come and visit you? And he's like, yes, he did. And he's like, oh, us too. And, um, he's like, basically it was like, the aliens are like, wait, what did you do to him? And then he was like, yeah, we just hung out with him yesterday. What about you guys? When's the last time you saw him? We're waiting. Yeah. Um, yeah. I don't know if it's sacrilegious to believe with this, but I mean, I do believe God's the controller of the universe. So I don't know how all that fits in, but, but I do. Yeah. It's hard to believe in this vast universe. This universe that, and I know the odds of creating life are incredibly difficult, but if the universe is so vast, there's gotta be other times where it would fall in. I mean, if you believe that there are billions of planets and out there seem like somewhere there'd be. I mean, the reason now, I guess some people think they have come here. A lot of people think they've come here to visit. I don't know how I feel about that. Yeah. Are you convinced that like aliens do exist? Absolutely. Or are you like. Like the, or if, or if they do exist, I do believe they're, you know, like. I think they exist, whether or not they visited us or not. I don't know. Yeah. Um, and then if they have it and we've sent all these signals, I guess just cause the universe is so big, it would be like, what did I say? It'd be like, we've searched, uh, if it was compared to our ocean, we've searched like a bathtub full of water. Yeah. Yeah. So it's just crazy. Yeah. It's, it's crazy. Cause they say it's ever expanding. Like it's growing. Yeah. Like that's the infinite part about it. It's like, that's why. What's it growing into? Exactly. Like what, like what is that space beyond? Isn't it called the red shift though, where light is refracting back and they thought the expanse was infinite, but they're seeing something like lights coming back and changing the wavelength. So they think there's a boundary on the universe. If I think about it for too long, I want to throw up. I'm hung up on the fact that he said there's a universe or a world in the universe where someone like him can dunk, which means he has to believe that there's a world. Potentially in the universe where nine 11 happened as we believe it on that universe. So maybe the conspiracies aren't true here, but they're all true on conspiracy world. Um, I don't want to get off the UFO topic, but can you guys give me like a summary of just what you think happened on nine 11? Yeah. Oh, I mean, I think the government did it. Our government did it. Either they did it or they were allowed it. They allowed it to happen. And for what? For what reason? Uh, war. They wanted a war. Basically like the military industrial complex. Like we need a war. We need to get into Iraq. We need to, you know, all the oil, opium, the vast amounts of all these resources we could sure use. And like the privacy act. Yeah. Have you seen the movie vice? It's about Dick Cheney. Oh, the one where Christian. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Basically at the end of it, they basically describe like Dick Cheney. He basically was the owner of this giant like company that involved the oil. Yeah. I remember that was in Iraq and Afghanistan or whatever. Just weird stuff like that where it's like, wow, you guys really profited off of this war. Well, how, how, how long before the towers fell? Um, did the dude pull a terrorism insurance policy on the towers? It was like weeks. It was like a week right before it happened. That was the first. But the, the stipulation, what Larry said. Is it all had to be, it had to be, it had to all come down, quote, total loss. That was the, how the policy was written. And that's, what's so weird about building seven is that I think look, look like a plan demolition, you know, about building seven. Yeah. And so, and, and you have people, you know, like testimonies of firefighters that are on the ground that have been in the military that know what bombs and these things sound like. Yeah. You're hearing what they, they, they on, on video, they're saying we heard bombs exploding. They thought there was like bombs going off and it's like, oh no, it was just a plane. It's like, you heard bomb. No, it was like, no, we heard him right here. And it's like, that's. And then you had the stuff with like the Pentagon being hit, but there's like no video footage. There's only the video footage of the explosion. And then there was testimonies around the Pentagon, like at a gas station. This guy's like, no, I saw the Boeing seven 57 fly, pull up over the Pentagon. And then a fighter pilot jet was right behind them. And that's when the explosion happened. So there's just like, there's, and whether or not you can believe him or whatever, but there's just, there's a ton of just weird things. And the, the pilots like Tucker Carlson did like a, um, I don't know, part, like it was like five parts, five or seven parts series on nine 11 and whatever. And he's a little kooky with stuff, but a proven fact is that the pilots, the hijackers, they were in fact brought over here by the CIA to do pilot lessons. And so it's like, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But then somehow they like went rogue and they're actually working for Al Qaeda. And like, but it's just, it's weird. Like why would the CIA bring them over here? And also it allow a plane to fly to the Pentagon when, you know, there's hijackings being taken place and in the most protected airfield airspace of all America, Washington, DC, the Pentagon. And you don't have one clip of it actually hitting. I got better security footage around my own house. You're telling me the Pentagon doesn't have an alternate angle. And it hits a lot where that word, like all that debt was right in the Pentagon where all that stuff was lost. Financial records. Yeah. And it's just, it's just strange. It's very, very strange. There's so many questions in, but you looked at, you get looked at like crazy people for questioning and that's where the JFK thing came in. The, the, the, the term conspiracy theorist was coined by the CIA after JFK because people were coming out with these conspiracy theories and it's like, okay, well then why was the president's presidential route changed day beforehand? Why were they going 15 miles per hour slower than every other presidential parade ever? You know, like there, there's just so many things. You sound like Donald Sutherland in the movie JFK. I love that movie. Yeah. So you, you saw that movie? JFK? Yeah. Yeah. A long time ago. You weren't convinced at the end of it. No. I mean, I remember there was some overwhelming. Yeah. It's crazy. But it was just, I didn't take the, it was a movie so they could have made it anything. They could have said Bigfoot killed him. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. Well, that's, that is what we believe. So I don't know. Yeah. We can go down that route. Well, what are your thoughts on Bigfoot? Oh, good question. Oh man. I wish, uh, I wish, I feel like your audience is going to turn on me. No, you're good. Uh, I would love to believe that Bigfoot's real, but it's just hard for me to fathom that we can't get any real good footage. That's fair. For sure. That's me too. For the same reason you just said about cameras everywhere now. Well, you can say that, but now there are cameras everywhere. Yeah. It's just hard for me to fathom that. Yeah. I would love it if I'm wrong. I would love it if tomorrow some great video comes out. Or you're just in your backyard, your family's terrified and you're just smiling. You're like, finally. Yeah. It's real. Yeah. It's finally happening. I mean, what do you guys think? I think it's possible. I think the argument for cameras, like trail cameras, that was always my argument in disbelief. I'm like, if hunters are the ones who are always seeing them, someone's hunting trail cam. Yeah. And that was my argument. But I've been hunting the same pig for the last two years. Like, I'm not joking. He's over 300 pounds and that pig. i had to buy a hogzilla i do have a name okay but uh i had to buy a different camera because he could see the infrared light they released a new camera that has like a different light it's called no glow shout out tacticam send me cameras please but i had to buy a different one because literally when the i had a cheaper camera up and he literally even though there's like piles of corn he wouldn't come to it because other animals are triggering the camera but then i bought a new one and so i think it's possible that an animal can see you know the stuff that triggers the cameras to go off like you know like even deer see beyond us why they can see at night and so i'm like i don't know maybe you can see just frequencies off the cameras or something yeah i choose to believe in it solely based off of the vast amount of stories people have from the woods you know it's like it's hard to just like like you can take maybe some of them like all right buddy you're kind of full of it but there's some that are you know like you can take maybe some of them like all right buddy you're kind of full of it insanely convincing where these dudes are just super sane they're not kooky and they're like the thing i saw yeah fits every description of a bigfoot yeah that's my thing too it's like you just have these big country guys that yeah generational hunters grew up hunting fishing every day that's all they love their grandparents did it all that's that's their life yes and then they see one thing that they cannot explain but they can only define as bigfoot and they're like i'm never hunting again yeah it changes because then you're changing a whole pattern you're you're changing a whole pattern you're changing a whole pattern yes and like your children like yes and like your children like you're now teaching your children we're not doing that no more that's you're now teaching your children we're not doing that no more that's like don't go in the woods like like that it's a very strange thing so it's like i've never seen anything like that i don't necessarily say bigfoot is real 100 but it's like there's been weirder things that happen we look in daniel nebuchadnezzar going out and like becoming like a wolf man yeah like growing hair having these claw like hooves almost and it's like it's very very weird so it's like we believe all that stuff in the bible but we draw the line at a big hairy man that lives in the woods it's like nah i think it's possible for sure yeah we did bigfoot as a topic on our podcast and i do the research for it and to your point you read story after story of people saying this stuff and after a while you're like surely all these people aren't lying yeah and also they're not doing it for publicity yeah a lot of these people are just like i don't want to talk about it yeah like it scared me a lot of these stories too they don't come out to like years later like either like the the grandpa's like passed away or something it sounds like yeah i told he told this story you know it's like i don't know the totem thing is weird too yeah that's actually my favorite i forget i forget the the tribe that it is but they have like these elders or ancient spiritual grandfathers so like when they do their spirit walks they're supposed to they encounter an eagle a buffalo everything's native americans yeah yeah what i said i mean i was just like giving the reference to name i've been through my words i slept terrible so i'm screwing stuff up i apologize but yeah they're they're encountering these beings that are all represented by real things and for some reason the guardian of the woods is represented by a what we would call the guardian of the woods called a bigfoot or a sasquatch it's like why is there one fictitious thing yeah in the midst of everything else that's real like i don't know to me it's like how how did these people invent this thing that like exists like hundreds upon thousands of miles away and other folklore and myth and that's the exciting thing it's like we i say this all the time but we have you have civilizations all over the world that have never met each other this is before the internet before everything that have the same stories about dragons yeah giants yeah stars and all that are people bigfoot it's like and they all coincide they all it all matches up to the point where like obviously there's dare like varying details but that's what you want in testimonies like you don't like it's but overall it's the same story the great gray aliens right yeah well that was that was one of my questions for you like if you believe that aliens you know maybe have not visited this earth what do you think we're experiencing now with all these ufos and people talking about abductions and whatnot yeah i mean i don't know it could be true i don't know what to think of some of those stories as far as those videos i don't know what to make of those either i was very excited about it i guess they've kind of stopped releasing them now they're releasing like every other friday or something yeah and um see i was getting too close to the truth and he was trying to shut it down there um so i was really hoping like when that movie disclosure day came out they were going to somehow yeah coincide with you know some super release but that didn't happen i don't know maybe it's some government uh technology that even lawmakers don't know about is so hidden i think that's i would say in my opinion just from what i've heard from other people it sounds like 90 plus percent of the ufos people say are probably government vehicles aircraft sorts you know but then we have people in the government saying this is unidentified we don't know where this came from which i don't think they know what they are like i think they're they're not pretty sure what they're privy to all that stuff yeah so that's very strange too that we have our government saying hey ufos are real which by saying these are real you're also saying aliens are real they haven't dropped the alien thing like they haven't said like aliens and it's just always well ufos ufos david grush has said nhi right non-human intelligence yeah um basically aliens and he literally talks about greys and reptilians did you hear any of that i did yeah on the rogan podcast grush was on and he was had these wild he testified too right yeah congress yeah whistleblower and you can't lie that was the crazy thing it's like he was telling the truth yeah everyone knows there was a new york times article came out a few years ago that first admitted that there was a government agency that had been investigating ufos um it was a big deal at the time and uh there was a guy and i think his name was eric davis and he was a government contractor and he said there was off-world vehicles that they have and that you know and uh so yeah there are testimonies like this of course yeah bob lazar i don't know what you guys think about what i was thinking yeah him but i mean when i listen to him on joe rogan he seems very convincing he does yeah and but that's the thing to me it's like the government is able to not in brian's opinion bail to get rid of people that tell like those truths that they don't want out so it's like how does bob lazar when he's sharing all these government secrets how does he have such access to being out there and if the government really wanted him to be out there and be quiet i think go ahead well i was just gonna say it just it feels like part of the program yeah like it seems and that's what i was getting to with like can ai with the ai growing and then the further interest in ufos and aliens happening at the same time yeah could those be the same thing huh like one big old psyop or something i don't know yeah because it was so taboo to talk about aliens like it was fun like in the 90s we had the x-files right yeah we had all these things and it was like so supernatural and sci-fi but now that people are leaning into it and kind of saying okay i think our government's lying to us i think there is something out there i mean obviously they have to go with that and kind of figure out okay how do we incorporate our agenda within this current way of speaking a few i guess a few issues i have if they're able to travel here then they most likely you would think would much advanced ahead of us as far as technology but yet they keep coming back and forth and they're able to travel here and crashing though yeah it's like they can fly billions of miles and then they get here and they don't they forget to put on the brakes yeah maybe you know how like whenever you're like you know if you're training your kid to drive you always take them to an empty parking lot or a place that really doesn't matter yeah yeah i wonder if that's that worth for them it's just like go take them to earth i mean if they crash it's not a big deal we'll figure it out they'll make podcasts about it they'll love it yeah i've heard the theory that it's a donation they're crashing on purpose for us yeah just to see what we'll do with them kind of learn from and things like that i don't know if that's that's true or not and then um now with ai and how we're seeing how uh i mean there's driver they're self-driving cars now it's hard to imagine again they're going to travel all that way with a biological creature like it seemed like it would just be ai robot something like that so automated some of these uh you know descriptions it's a i mean i don't know it could still be ai and look like that but for sure the atmosphere could be different here too though there are components of where they're from that you know interacting with our atmosphere to make it crash around so they don't have some people do speculate that gray aliens are like just meat bags like robe like a drone type of and with the japan grown skin and stuff it's like could it be an ai freaky looking robot i don't know i don't know we sound like crazy people does it concern you that we haven't received a signal from outer space and some people speculates because once you get a certain level of technology you just they destroy themselves like they have their own ai and ai destroyed so that's why we've oh i hate that what a terrifying thought i've never heard that it's actually very scary oh finally i have one yeah you guys yeah there's a there's some people theorize that to get advanced enough to be able to travel here or even send a signal you would have to you're probably so far along that ai has destroyed your planet oh that yeah that is terrifying yeah so ai is like the virus of the universe yeah it's big yeah it's basically like the the flag that we're done oh they've got the ai point dang we're just starting to like them too maybe that's why these aliens are here they're trying to stop us from making ai without aren't they always it's different but around nuclear yeah arsenals yeah yeah do you think we're on the verge of that yeah i think we're on the verge of that Like, some nuke drops happening in the future? Near future? Uh. I don't know. I have hope that with AI, we can get some regulation. And the comparison that I sometimes hear is the nuclear arms, like after we dropped the bombs, we haven't had, we've come close, but we haven't had any sense. And there's these treaties and we can all keep an eye on each other and kind of make sure everybody's playing. I know not everyone's playing fairly, but you know what I mean? Yeah. We're going to, as soon as I asked him that, he said, I hope. And we're just going to edit there. For the clip, we're just going to have Brian Bates endorses nuclear war. I did just, I watched, I didn't watch the whole thing, but Vice, they put out this short documentary on this guy who's from New Zealand, but he's going around trying to find these rich people's bunkers. It's very fascinating because apparently it's in Queensland, New Zealand. Okay. And people have speculated forever that New Zealand would be the safest place on earth during like a nuclear. Or apocalypse, Holocaust, whatever you want to call it. But like a weird thing with like Peter Thiel, right? So Peter Thiel went to New Zealand, got his citizenship in 12 days. Whoa. 12 days. He got a citizenship, which the law in New Zealand is it's like 1300 days before you can even apply for your citizenship. He goes there in 12 days and he gets it. And he's talking about the tiny little airport in Queensland. All it is, it's constantly full of private planes now. Hate that. And then he talked to a company in Texas that apparently has built bunkers in New Zealand. And because they're a bunker company, like an apocalypse bunker company. And he was talking to the owner and he's like, how many bunkers have you built in New Zealand? He's like 32. Yeah. Who are your clients? He's like, I can't tell you my clients are. It's just weird. It is very weird. And it's also weird that like we have, I mean, I'm sure you living in Tennessee, you've got to know a few people that are preppers. Yeah. Yeah. Like it's almost everybody. Yeah. But it's like, but when you're prepping like that, like you get looked at like a crazy person, but it's like, look at what these billionaires are doing. They're building bunkers. What do you think? They know more than we do. Yeah. As far as like the economics and like the political state of the world. It's like that. There's something happening. Well, the guys like Peter Thiel, who is at the forefront of AI technology and weapons development with like Palantir and whatnot. He's the one building a bunker. It's like guys. No, I'm fine in my double wide, dude. Honestly. I'd rather just be wiped out instead of living in a bunker. Wouldn't you? I mean, probably. It's just funny to say out loud, which is like, just wipe me out, bro. Like I'm just, if I have the choice. Yeah. Not to get dark, but we all have kids. If it wasn't for my daughter, I would totally be with you. But you know, with their kids, I'm like, I've been thinking about this. Like, where can I go? I guess New Zealand, right? Yeah. New Zealand's the spot. I mean, like Cloverfield. Have you ever seen Cloverfield Lane, the movie? Yeah. Oh man. That is a scary one. But it's like, it is one of those things where it's like, if you saw somebody. I was like, come in the bunker. It's like, you don't know how long you're going to be down there. You don't know what's going to happen when you get down there. Because I mean, people go crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. At the end of the world. That's the one with John Goodman. Yes. Yeah. That one was messed. That one. I mean, I don't really get super anxious during movies all the time. That one through the roof. Yeah. That was, that was a rough one. You guys doing anything to prep? Nope. Not really. No. No. Because this is the thing. I was like, oh, he's got to save money. It's like, money's not nothing. No. Money won't be anything. So it's like, that's why I'm blowing it all now, dude. That's why I'm trying to purchase like a really big house. And then when the banks just go kaboom, it's like, what? No one has money anymore. What are you going to do? Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I don't have to pay you back. That's how it works, right? Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Dusty, I keep bringing him up. Go look him up. We talk about him all the time. He, he's, uh, he no longer drinks alcohol, but he keeps alcohol in his house for the reason if someone goes down for bartering. Yeah. That's genius. That's kind of genius. Yeah. That's what I do that with 22 like ammunition. I think like a common round will be currency like shotgun. Well, yeah, people, a lot of these peppers like gold and silver. I'm like, I don't, if the world's on fire, I don't think people would give a crap about gold. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like I want food or booze or bullets or gas gas too. Yeah. Yeah. So like, that's, that is funny. Like, cause I mean, I know he doesn't eat fish either, like certain fish, most fish unclean fish, but it's like, I was meeting some talking with someone. Somebody recently about catfish and how they just don't like, and they won't eat. And it's like, y'all are preppers. Y'all better get used to eating some catfish or bass or whatever you have to do. Cause it's like, if that stuff hits the fans, like you're going to eat whatever you catch. Yeah. It's strange, man. I do love thinking about it, but I can't imagine how truly awful it would be of just having to live, especially with kids. I mean, just like, yeah, you just have to be that. You still have to be Brian Bates. You still have to be the fun jokey dad because like it would, it would dry it. Like you would go crazy if you're not. Yeah. It's like, I mean, there's some really scary movies out there, but the ones with kits, like, uh, well, there's, uh, what is the last of us? Oh yeah. There's a lot of zombies, movies, stuff like that. Brutal. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's rough, man. It's a, I can't even think about it. Cause like, I know Noah is in that phase where he's like crying and making noise. I'm like a noisy baby. Doesn't get you very far. We talked about if, if it came down to having to remain quiet. In the house, we'd be toast. Cause my daughter, Jane would just be screaming. She talks so loud. No, we took Demi when she was like three months. Uh, my, my oldest, when she was like three months old, we're just like, you know, like, Oh, we could take her to a movie. Cause she just sleeps. And they're like, it's fine. We took her to a quiet place, the movie, which I didn't think the majority of the movie would literally be silent. And so every sound she made every like, and just any type of discomfort was so loud. And I, I felt like I was in the world of quiet. I was like, you gotta be quiet. Like it'd be a nightmare. This podcast turned very anxious for me. Yeah. Bunkers triggered me for some reason. I usually don't get bothered by it, but like thinking about it, like legitimately, but you're, I'm going to start selling like dog kennels, but like wrapped in like soundproof, like drum cage foam prep for the end. Keep your child safe. But we do, we know holes in there. Like, Oh dang it. We got Jesus. So yes, we do. A very tall Jesus. Right, Josh. We do have Jesus. We have hope. That's right. It's going to be okay. You know, why would kill us is an obvious question. And from what I read, it's, it's misalignment. Most likely, like it's not doing it just to be malicious is doing it. Cause it's, it's trying to serve a function. So the, the example often given is the paperclip example. If you guys have heard this or not, if you, if you programmed AI to, to, to, to, to, to, create the most paperclips it could create, it would have eventually first do the steps that you might think, but eventually be like, well, if I melt down, you know, his fillings and his teeth or whatever, and eventually just get the way it would kill us all just to make more, even if it's thinking they may try to stop me from building more paperclips. So I'm going to kill them. It's just something as simple as that. Yeah. Just misalignment where it thinks is doing, it is doing its program, but too good. Yeah. That's interesting. That is very freaky. I got a documentary for you to watch. All right. I'll tell you. Well, I can just say, cause I talked about it with the breakfast club. It's on YouTube, but it's called am, am I, and it's a documentary about AI and consciousness. Yeah. Very spooky. Oh, I bet. So you should watch that. Yeah. You'd love that. Yeah. It will scare you a little bit, but it is, it is very interesting. We could probably play him the clip on Patreon. Yeah. Yeah. We can do that. Cool. Speaking of Patreon, we got an episode right after this folks. Brian, are you cool with a little Patreon episode? I'd love to. All right. Three hours. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to talk about stuff. I got a story about a man going to the Congo. Okay. Scary stuff in the Congo. Yep. And I've got a real, and a story about someone in Tennessee. Nice. Just for you. Pinging off a porch in Murfreesboro. That's right. Yeah. Brian, thank you so much for coming on. Thanks for having me. Yeah. Do you want to plug anything? Yeah. October 24th. I'll be in Paducah, Kentucky at the. Kentucky Comedy Festival, October 25th, St. Louis at Funny Bone Comedy Club. And yeah, that's the rest of October. I think November 5th, I'm in Charlotte at the Comedy Zone. What's your website? BrianBatesComedy.com. Sweet. Everyone go check out that new special on YouTube. Yeah. Worried, right? Yeah. Yeah. I talk about being an old dad and. It's fun. Yeah. It's so good. It's very fun. Thank you. Thank you. Very good special. Well, thank you so much, Brian, for coming on. Yes. It's been a blast. Everyone go listen to his stuff. Go subscribe to his podcast. Go see him live. You guys have changed my perspective now. Awesome. I'm a conspiracy theorist. 9-11 was definitely an inside job. Yes. Yep. Clip it. I'm taking that. Yeah. Pulling it way back to the first question. I've changed. I'm a changed man. Dusty's going to be very proud of you. I'm going to start growing facial hair. Growing beard. Yeah. Yeah. Comes with it. All right, guys. We'll see you on Patreon, YouTube members. Love you. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Dolphins. What are you about to do? You are aliens. Wow. It may disturb you. Ominous. If any of you know what these are. Multi-decade UAP. Dolphins are aliens. You're going to have a heart attack when you see your eyes broken. Bottlenose. Fish kicks. There's a massive police response. Oh, the dolphin thing. Oh, my God. It's a dolphin-style attack. Why him? There's no time. Brian Bates, Chester of Destiny.
