So here's a lesson listen up and try to do when life gets tough here's what you do don't grab a tooch don't start a dance for your linda just like France just like France. That was so good. I knew you'd like that. How do you ever met a person and you really want to pull out a SpongeBob reference but you don't know where they stay in? Yeah. That's a good like lit missed test. I did it yesterday. It didn't. Did it pan out? No. Yeah. I just think you're weird. It was with Jane's teacher and she was saying she was scared of butterflies. I was like from SpongeBob right? Yeah. She was like no. No. No. No. She's not in SpongeBob. I never see SpongeBob. Okay. Yeah. I do that with the office quite a bit. People don't get it. The audio listener is only Josh is throwing a fit right now. I'm not throwing a fit. You're upset. Crunching? What? Calm down. Easy. Easy. Relax. When people wipe their tears like that, it's crazy. I'm making my eyes itch. When's the last time you cried by the way? Probably two days ago. Well, I hope we don't cry after this question. Now my eyes actually are really at the end of the way to learn this besides the point. Come on. There was a lot of turmoil that happened in this world. Correct. We're going to talk about some of it. We're going to talk about some things in history that were awful. Yeah. Awful things. Yeah. There's some awful things happening now all over this world. People are just suffering. Thanks. It's the worst. Well, today's question is sent by a viewer. Should we love the people in Spain? Yeah. Jesus. I love that. No, I see why you're upset. You're going to rent me a lot. In this segment, you guys are always interrupting me. So you said yes, we should love the people that are in Spain. Yes. I don't why would you say yes to that? People that are in pain don't like we should just like love that they're in pain. He just said pain. That's it. That's it. He said what? The pain. Okay, listen. Lily. Don't you don't need to make fun of his speech impediment. You know, you know. You have to start sometimes. He has a list. Why are you laughing? Is it serious? This is not. I said pain. Bang. Yes. So you think we should just love that people are in pain. Is that what you're saying? No, I didn't. You know, I have struggled with my peace on time. It's a very difficult thing for him. Sometimes it's very sudden. It's something different. Say Peter Piper picked it back to Pickled. Don't know what you want. Why? Listen. He tries very hard. This is his job. He works very hard to do this. He's goes to his speech therapist and yet he's standing here being his wife mocking him. I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding. You're being ableist at this point. You're discriminating against somebody who has a disability. Not even close. Hey, Paige is proud of your progress. Thank you. Thank you. Oh my gosh. You're going to be okay. I don't think we should love people that are in pain. No, I'm in pain. Like love that the fact that they're in pain. My heart is in Spain. Well, you are causing this pain in me. Forget me. Oh. Nope. Fuck them. Fuck them. Fuck them. On the show. Oh my. You get a one day. Yep. I got it. We're all wearing convoy of hope stuff today. I know we just are full of hope and because we're going to talk about terrible things happening in the world, right? But there's always a convoy of hope. Oh, that's a plug. So we talked about on Patreon last week, but quickly we just want to mention shout out to convoy of hope. They flew us out to springfield Missouri, which is the city that never sleeps. Well, a lot of people say and we hung out there for a couple of days. We toured their facility, which is massive. We learned a lot about what they do and a lot of people think it's, you know, just disaster relief. But we found out there's a whole lot more. We even found a new podcast. Guess we're going to be having on soon. Hopefully. Dr. Dirk. Dr. Dirk is genius. He is the head of agriculture at convoy hope, which was one of my favorite things that convoy hope does. Guys, we are getting absolutely nothing from convoy hope. This is truly just a cool. Well, we got some merch. Yeah, we got some merch. But when the North Carolina hurricane hit and that huge disaster that happened, cause we got two years ago, horrific, and we were like, man, we really want to find a ministry that's like on the ground, really helping when that you can trust, right? Sure. There's a lot of organizations out there that are sketching. They take a large sum of your money and just give it a little bit. convoy hope, I asked them, I'm like, what percentage do you give to the actual cause and what do you keep? And they have their financial records on their site. And it basically comes down to like 91% of what is donated goes towards the actual cause. And the eight percent, eight or nine percent goes towards staffing, which you need staff to run. Which they have already seen. 700 employees. It's a massive headquarters. They have, I mean, it's a great system. They've got going over there. It's crazy. I feel like I feel like we are paid by them like the way we're talking, but we're literally not. We're incredibly impressed. We're incredibly impressed by them and it is very cool to just, they love us. We love them. And so it's just cool to be able to partner later on like when these things happen. And if we have a cause that we want to get behind and it's like, we can make a shirt or you know, push them to the website. 100% what are they doing? No, guys. What are they? How are they impacting the world? They're established in over 40 countries and they're also still in Helene. Like the area where lead hit, they're still on the ground, helping out right now two years later, which is super cool. After that. Good to go. No, after the fact, I realized one of my buddies that we like online archery, we talked. He lives right there. And he was saying that like whenever stuff happens, it'll actually like take the community and like if they need help like help packing stuff up, but he let it, he's like, I go up there. He's like, that's crazy. You guys were just there. So like he was speaking highly of them. Yeah. Even though, yeah. They feed upwards just over 600,000 kids a day, every day and over 40 countries. They have a program in these countries where there is a lot of trafficking and stuff. And what they've done is they've set up women empowerment programs to where they train these women and these moms, how to basically run businesses and create an income to where they don't have to sell their children, which is huge. And there's instances of women in the program that get out of program and then start helping other women start running program like big small businesses. So it's like it's just this chain effect and they show up in communities all across the world saying, Hey, do you know where your next meal is going to come from? And if they say no, they're like, okay, we're going to help you. Like we don't want to just come in like and be the savior. It's like, no, like we're going to, we want to learn from you. What about your culture and they adapt to whatever they need. They take the soil from whatever country. They bring a practice springfield. They make that duplicate that soil. So they can farm it there and don't, don't ever correct me like that again. When I'm talking about a charitable, you know, you know, you know, what's running at Brack? What's running at Brack? But they're just dope. They're just incredible. Like they're just helping people. They want to get to the point where they help out the go to these, these communities and then they're not needed anymore. Right. Like they're self-sustaining. So it's such a such a dope thing. And they help with disaster relief. So it's like, they are prepared to jump when they say jump. And so like as soon as something bad happens, they're boots on the ground helping people which is. Hey. Go on. When I hear convoy of hope, I think they're anti bandaid. They're not putting a bandaid on anything. They're making sure that they are still lasting true success for these people in these areas. And I love the example that you give the Nepalese children. Yeah. So this is my favorite. And Dr. Dirt, who we are going to get on this podcast eventually, hilarious guy. Very fun. Smart. He is the head of agriculture. HD and soil. And what they do is they truck in soil from all over the world. They test the soil for all of the nutrients that it needs or whatever. They go back to these countries. They help these families start. teaching gardens to where these children can get all the vitamins and minerals and everything that they need to get out of Mount Nutrition, gave the example he was in Nepal and he said these families have been there for generations, centuries and they grow corn and rice and it's just flourishing. But these children still had orange hair, which means it's a sign of Mount Nutrition. And so what they did is they taught them how to grow a variety of vegetables and fruits to where these children are no longer Mount Nutrition and they'll carry that on for generations more. That's super sick. It's amazing. It's very cool. All that to say, if you're a listener and you and your spouse or you yourself have been wondering, have been stirred to give and if you're looking for a reliable organization convoy, hope is a great option. Yes. Because you could do that. It's like a monthly thing or yearly thing. You can set it up. So it's pretty cool. Pretty dope. We got stuff planned for the future with them and also we've logged the whole trip too. So that vlog is going to be dropping on Patreon. So sick. Speaking of snacks, you guys want to snack? We'd love a snack. I said, play hard before we started. I like so much protein. Oh my gosh. She's going to be so mad. You brought that here? I'm going to pick it up. Jill, wow. She spent hours. She's spent about five minutes thinking of these up. Can I ask you a question? What am I looking at? These are acorns, Andy. Okay. Those are actually Aida's. You ruined. Oh, there's a there's a freaking larvae in there, bro. Yeah. No, they were in here. They were in her purse. She was like, there's where you brought these in here. I didn't know there's going to be larvae in here. You should have checked. Yeah. You always check for larvae. Jay, grab a close up of that for us. Oh, that's gross. Yeah. No, no, let him let him get a shot of it. Yeah. You got a shot of it. Scraped one into the table. Oh, my God. It's going to crawl into your hand. Stop. You can get up there. Jay, you can get close. Don't wait. We got to get that detail. I want to talk about acorns. That's why it was a thing. I was researching acorns. Hold the larva in your hand. Show Jay. You can now eat it. You can eat them. Oh. No, I didn't. You should have. Um, the best is. Why do you want to talk about acorns? Because. First of all, congratulations, Aida. This is a great harvest. Yeah. I'll take care for acorns. But this is an example. Yeah. Should I tell her? I found out acorns throughout history. Mm-hmm. I'm talking history. Like you go back to like the caveman era, which if there's caveman, I don't know how I worked up. Acorns were staple food. Really? That's right. And in fact, Native Americans, it would, it took up a third of their diet. Whoa. A third. That's crazy. How did they eat it? Like, because I always thought they were poisonous. Don't they grout? Like, would it ground it up like flour? So yeah. So acorns, they. There are so many freaking larvae. It's disgusting. It's your fault. How did they combat the larvae that you see them? Can you eat them? No. These are white man egg larvae. Acorns. We've ruined it. Oh. We've ruined acorns. Um. Acorns. So what they do, acorns have like the tannin in them, right? So that's why they taste bitter and yuck. Yeah. And poisonous. And if you eat too much, it can stop your digestion and you get super sick. Okay. But what they do is they actually discovered this in the Americas, in Asia, in Europe. They all had the same process of getting the eight, the nuts out and rinsing them for days. To get rid of all the tannins, they grind it up and they would make flour. They would make like oatmeal kind of stuff with it, but it took up a third of their diet. That's wild. But acorns have like a ton of fat in them, protein, carbohydrates, all nine amino acids. Sick. It's like a super food. Sounds like it. Why don't we use them for our diets? The man. I bet you can mind you. Well, no, it's when the people started growing grain, they're like, let's not use acorns anymore. Why do we do that? Isn't that crazy? Why do we do that? Three years from now, they're like acorn flowers going to be like all the rage or something. It's like how we had used to have electric vehicles and they're like, actually, we can make more money on gas vehicles. So let's get rid of the electric vehicles and then we'll bring them in later. Exactly. But acorns, what's so cool about them, they're just from oak trees, right? So you don't need to take care of oak trees. Yeah. You don't need to water them. You don't need to do anything to them. They just naturally produce a bountiful amount of acorns. Yeah. That makes sense. I was fascinated by that. That's crazy. It's even uncovered like one of those grinding wheels, like I think from Europe, like ancient ancient Europe, like over like 10,000 plus years old, and in it had fragments of acorns. Wow. That's so cool. A third of your diet's crazy though. Yeah. And that was a cool thing. Back then, they could really just make a variety of things. When you just leave the acorns here, it adds character. Leave them on my side. Don't touch my side. I want the acorns. Anyways, acorns. That's nuts. You can buy acorns starch powder flour. I wonder if you guys should make your own. Where are these? Is this from your front yard? My parents, yeah. Yeah. Awesome. A lot of guys will put like a blue tarp out underneath the tree right before they fall, and then you just funnel them into a thing. I think, yeah. I was going to say, I've got three deer feed or, yeah, three feed locations out, and the acorns just fell and nothing's coming on camera. Sorry. Because I think I used to pick pecan. I think it was that or walnuts. I'm pretty sure. But I can't remember. We used to, for my grandparents, they would do pecan trees, we just walk around and just pick them up. I'm pretty sure they were walnuts. I can't remember. I think I'm going to buy this. Make him. Make him. Acorn loaf. Acorn loaf. That's me after eight. Too many of them. That's what happens. Anyways, I just thought that was super cool. Very fascinating. Very fascinating. I can't believe I've never ate an acorn. Because my brother. Don't eat it. Don't eat it. Yeah, don't eat it because I was that tan in it. You've got to rinse that. Rinse it, dude. Hey. That's larvae. The tan of their toxic. My brother-in-law, when we were when Aida was picking these up, he's like, yeah, Native Americans used to make this into like a bread. I'm like, you're full of it, dude. Acorn is lion. He wasn't. He wasn't. He was right. That's so funny. For the first time. Oh. So much great a lot. Don't touch my sister. They're married. It's so funny. Yeah. I mean, they look cool. I mean, they look like a regular nut. That's kind of crazy. I've never actually seen the inside of them. Really? I learned a lot today. Yeah. You didn't mess with them on the playground? No. I threw them at people. Oh, right. And I was usually they always have the tops on them, too. You know, we've talked about before, but when Aida was just an infant, she choked on an acorn. Oh, my gosh. That was very scary. And I'm married. And she was just playing. You know, she was just, you know, babies. They're just putting stuff in their mouth. And also, and she's just like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. And we're like, oh, my gosh. Yeah. And we're like, it was me, Lily, my brother Taylor and my assistant law, Madison. And we're like, hitting her. And he hit on the back. Oh, my gosh. Freaking out. Yeah. Madison had her by the leg. Well, I was getting to that. Oh, yeah. And then Madison comes out and grabs her by one foot. I was like, what are you doing here, and hitting the back and lose like, give me my kid. Or she's like, give me my baby. And but they come. This is that panic, dude. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. So Madison saved it as a life. No, literally she did. Yeah. That choking baby is the scariest thing in the world. Oh, my gosh. I mean, it's, I remember Kelsey. I wasn't there for this one, but Kelsey was out in the garage and she was, you know, doing some woodworking and, you know, just in the zone and Demi was like two years old. She's just chilling in the driveway and, you know, it's hanging out. And then suddenly she looks over at Demi and she looks like she's choking and it's like, oh, my gosh. It goes over. And she's choking. She's like, what did you eat? What did you swallow? And she's like, you know, like patting her on the back and everything like that. Demi leans over and outcome like six pennies to the ground. She just like stuffed a stack of pennies into her mouth. I'm like, what are you doing, dude? You know, like kids when they're older and they choke, they run. Sometimes they run. Yeah. Panic. So Ada had like some kind of stomach virus or food poisoning or something. And she was so sick. Oh, my gosh. She was so scary. And she had been sick for like a day and a half and then she took a nap on the couch and the whole time. I was just like staring at her. Okay. Then she gets up, throws up on the floor and then stops breathing, runs. I mean, just starts running and I'm like, go ahead, you got to catch her and I was trying to save her. Oh, my gosh. That's just a panic. I know. Speaking of farming. Yeah. Do you know the story of the Sriracha farmer? I have to, I didn't look up exactly, I haven't saved, but I can kind of, I can kind of go off of memory and then you can fill in the gaps. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. Sorry. You heard of the Sriracha farmer? Nope. Okay. This is a wild story. Well, you know, it was, what, a couple of years back, like two or three years, they're like, the Sriracha recipe has changed. It doesn't taste the same anymore. Yes. I've noticed that. There's a reason why. Is it the pimples? The pimples. The farmer who's been growing these Sriracha peppers for 1988, since 1988, he has perfected the exact growing technique, the exact time to pluck them, to dry them, everything. Okay. Perfect. It was like his design. They're made from red jalapenos and this guy, they made the deal on handshake, like with just like, you know, like no contract, hey, I'm going to trust you in every single week, those checks cash. And so he just, the guy continued just to, you make these incredible, because he would pick them at the right time, in the right environment, it was perfect. So a Sriracha is a red jalapeno. It's not a different pepper. It's a red jalapeno. Interesting. And he was just so successful in this and they had this partnership with Sriracha since 1988. And so he just started investing more and more into his farm growing it bigger because Sriracha is getting bigger too, you know? Uh-huh. And then Sriracha, the company, a couple years back, they're like, "We're paying you too much. You need to start making them for this price." And he's like, "No, because I'm gonna lose money." Also, inflation goes the opposite direction. And they said, "Okay, okay, that's fine. Is it cool if we come out there and like film like this documentary kind of thing with you like the process that you do and stuff?" And he's very innocently. And he's like, "Yeah, that's fine." And so they did it. Next thing you know, they fire them. Because they're doing it themselves. Because they got other farmers to start doing it. And so they completely burnt the bridge with this farmer who's been growing the pepper since 1988. But the new farmers could not replicate how he was growing his peppers. Correct. And so they went back and they say, "Hey," and he's like, "No." No, you guys stink. Yeah. And so that's why Sriracha tastes different is because they can never get back to the way that man was making them. And so he sued him back in 2019 for 13.32 million dollars just to punish the company. And like they rewarded them in everything. He won the lawsuit. But they had already planned the growers, the new growers, and everything before the drone footage was happening. And so he was completely out of the next year's crop. He had already planted everything. And he couldn't handle the off 40 workers. That's crazy. I wonder what he did with the 13 mil. You know, they had the same crew for a long time. But let's see here. I'm trying to find the name of the recipe that the guy actually, because he still bottles his own, the original guy still bottles his own Sriracha. Yeah. So because the Sriracha was off the shelves for a long time, right? And then everyone's like, "This new recipe sucks." And so I'm trying to find. Dude, that'd be a sick, like birthday gift or something. Just top shelf Sriracha, like the OG. Oh, so the hot sauce made by Underwood Ranch is the original, original farm that supplied peppers for the food is called Dragon Sriracha. And so that's, apparently, that's the. That's right. Dragon Sriracha. Yeah. So that's the one you need to be buying, folks. Yeah. Not anything brand is Sriracha. That's crazy. This is a good life lesson, children. Don't be greedy. Yeah. I mean, come on. Be honest. Crazy. It's such a bummer, dude. Like, especially like you just think you're just doing a good job at what you're doing, and then suddenly people just, you know, just try to take advantage of you. Yeah. So nuts. Dude, and your bottle is sick. Yeah. Has a yellow top, doesn't it? No. I mean, good day yellow top. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's so fun. But good for him. I can't imagine how stressful that whole thing was, though, because like, looking back now, it's like, it's a wonderful story. I mean, it's like a million to dollars that you're losing. Yeah. I mean, crop. It's just coming home from work that day, or, you know, for weeks, months, years, and just like, my whole life's work has gone out the window because of these people are just being greedy. Yeah. Speaking of being for the people. Yeah. Airbnb. Oh, man. What's going on? Airbnb has officially changed their rules. Which, what do you think? How do you think Airbnb should change as far as their rules go? Oh, I can name a few things. Okay. Go ahead. What the heck's up with all these fees? I will say, I did not like how they would, I do like this, which how they have started to show you the total price on the front end. Yeah. You would go to a book and it would be of extra $500 for times. Like, these fees are nuts. Like, there's like a service fee, a cleaning fee, this fee, a nap fee. It's nuts. Factor that into your price. Yeah. Yeah. Totally. Well, things are changing. And also, it doesn't cost $300 cleanhouse. Sorry. Well, it might now. What? Because Airbnb is telling their hosts, you can no longer tell the people staying in your home that they have to clean anything. Oh, that's great. They said, they can't tell them to strip the sheets. Yeah. Can't tell them to put the dishes away. Take the trash out. Can't tell them to take the trash out. Anything that a cleaning service would do, you cannot ask them to do. Yeah. That's great. Anything that's an unreasonable request. I feel like they have like caught on, though, because the last few Airbnb's that we've stayed at, it's just like stripped of bed. Pretty basic. And it's like, that's I would just do that anyway. Well, except the one that my Uncle Brian stayed in New York. What did they do? No. They made them wash all the sheets. That's true. Wash all sheets. And they they advertise, listen, I'm mad at this Airbnb because they took advantage of people, but it was a sick Airbnb. It was cool. But they had a hot tub. They showed it on the listing. They had a big ol' jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom. But when you got there, they said, you know, I'll use a hot tub. You know, I'll use the tub in the master bathroom. Yes. Well, and they also remember when we stayed in California and they had the literally the first pictures, the picture of the pool. And then it's like, actually cost $1,000 a day to heat this pool. And it's like, we're not doing that. And the guy worked with us. Yeah. Because it's like, no, we're not paying that. That was not a porous scene cost. Yeah, I'm like, well, how I booked it. And he's like, just remember the pool is cold. I'm like, well, how cold? And he's like, it's like 67 degrees. I'm like, that's cool. That's cool. Yeah. And he's like, well, you can't heat it, but it costs like $150 a day. It was more than that. No, it was $150. Oh. And he's like, but then he's like, if you want to do the hot tub, that's going to be an extra. And they wouldn't heat at the same time. They had to eat it several times. We had to time it out. But in his defense, I'm like, this guy's full of it. I looked it up. And in California, the electrical prices, it's like, it literally costs $150 a day to heat your pool. California people. Why are you putting up with that? Yeah. If you move to any other state, you guys live on the Trump ocean. I want it. Do you see the stuff going on with Zuckerberg leaving California? No, no. You know why they're doing that? Sorry. Go ahead. No, I mean, ton of reasons, but he said he'll stay because, you know, it's just expensive as I'll get out tax-wise when you're in the billionaire class. But California has proposed a new billionaire tax, which would say, I think it's if they pay 5% of something outright and up front, then it like voids future taxes. Well, and you know, something like they're probably going to get more out of that than they do out of the way that they do taxes now. Sure. But, but also like, I mean, what's a void paying that fact? No, he's like, oh, if you keep this in, it's being voted on. He's like, I'll pay 5%. But it's not out. Yeah. But like, he's probably, he's grown some hair in his chest because he just took a sip first sip of beer. Do you see that? Yeah. Yeah, his first drink? Mark, that was really. I have not heard about this. I played the video while we're talking about this, like on the, okay, for the thing. But they, he was like, it was like for this like interview kind of thing. And they're all sitting on the table and he was like, glass of Guinness. He took a sip and he's like, he is, he's like, he literally is a visceral reaction. He went to throw up. Dude, Mark's like, we're throwing up after a Guinness would be the funniest thing on the internet. But it looked like, it looked like he was about to have a panic attack after taking that first step. Why do people do this? That's hilarious. Oh, funny. When made him do that? Just try to be more relatable? Yeah. Maybe all the wires in his body were like malfunctioning. Yeah, like, that's why his reaction was that way. His lizards don't like beer. His coffee boats sometimes I'll have a coffee like if I'm on vacation. Yeah. Oh, don't drink caffeine. I don't drink caffeine. Yeah, I was watching a whole video on like how, how like, basically the distinction of like wealthy people staying wealthy and like the tax game. This guy was saying that the goal is tax avoidance. And you can do it completely legally. And something what these billionaires do is that they put all their money and investments. Yeah. And then they borrow against their investments because it's tax-free. So you don't need to pay taxes on any of that stuff. So billionaires like the super rich really ultimately pay like around 6% tax period. Whereas if you're in the middle class, you're paying like 20, 30. And then if you start getting to those uppers, you're paying 30, 40, and then it gets in a 50. And then if you're super rich, 6%. Dude, I heard an NFL player. I forget his name, but I knew his face. He said his rookie year, his base salary was like 450. Oh my gosh. And he was like, everyone's like, dang, that's crazy. He said, I took home less than 300. He said, but the NFL like, he said, I played a game and I pulled someone's hair. And it was like a $28,000 fine. And he was like literally in fines alone. He said, I wore high socks, but the league standard was low. And so it was like two grand a game. He was like, I didn't make money my first year. So they do all these fines for like when big names who are on like crazy contracts. Because for them, 28 grand, I like Jack someone up is nothing. That's crazy. They got to put the number high. But this dude's like, dude, I'm living, you know, on less money than the average middle class person. And then you're hitting me with a 30 grand fine. Why are they? Why does it cost money for a fine one? It's just just a penalty. Like, it's super common. Like even every professional sport. It costs money. Yeah, you had to pay, it's a penalty. The league. But when a penalty be, you have to like, start at a different line next time. No, if it's an individual thing, sometimes it depends like sometimes they like back whenever like you weren't allowed to celebrate, you know, like after a touchdown, someone would do, you know, a celebration and like knowing that you can you're gonna get fined for this. You know, if you, you know, teams require you to go sit down and be interviewed in front of the press because that's just part of your contract. And if you refuse to do it or refuse to answer questions or something like that, then you get fined. And so it's just this, you know, it happens a lot. But there's this, I mean, there's that one time the Malif at the Palace. Do you remember that? No. Oh, gosh, I can't remember who it was. I want to say it was the Lakers, but I don't think it was the Lakers. But I mean, just a huge brawl, you know, went out in this, I think it was Ron Arthes. Was arguing with a guy in the crowd and went up there and just started like pommeling fans and the fans came on and like bunch of the players. I mean, you can look up the video on YouTube. It's insane. Yeah. What happened there? And so, but it's like, obviously, the team's not going to be fined, but it's the individuals. I see. And so there's, there's a weird balance and a lot of it's dominance, money, grab stuff, but yeah. Okay. Yeah. Speaking of fighting people. Okay. This talk about their revolution, having an influence, oh man, my people, I mean, obviously, we made a joke about it during the song, but it's kind of funny, but it is very serious stuff that's happening. It's pretty crazy. I was saying, do you have a revolution? Mm-hmm. I mean, they haven't stopped. What is it? Since 1780 or whatever. I can't, they can't stop revolting. It's like every other month. Yeah. It's just like wake up when the door. Let's just start when the mind is full. Mm-hmm. Let's take to the streets. We'll start burning stuff down. Yeah. If the bag gets fresh, let's go it, baby. Go away. Um, genuinely. Can you give me a rundown because I'm seeing stuff on social media that literally, depending on one video to the next, I feel completely differently about what's going on. Well, yeah. Well, here's the thing. It started out good. Okay. It started out with a real cause, and I believe there's a good chunk, I say, there's a chunk of these protesters that are actually protesting for really good reasons, really the education system. Okay. So, they started protesting at the school, high school, and there was just too many students for one teacher. Yes. Curriculum is trash. And the students are like, we want a better education. Thank, good for them. Amazing. So they started protesting at the school. That erupted to a country-wide, let's burn the whole place down. Mm-hmm. So people took advantage of it. It's like the whole crowd mentality kind of thing, you know? Yeah. Group think. Group think. Um, and it's super sad. What's happening? We are raiding shops, stores, destroying stuff. They burnt down this capital building that is in France, it's a very historic building that survived both World War I and World War II, burned it to the ground. Cut it out, writers. It's, it's crazy. Where is your like, where, I can't even imagine, like, where is your preservation of history? Literally. I know. But also, but it is. Well, they didn't, they never learned it. That's true. Why? Cause they all have their education. Yes. They don't know what history is. What's that building? I don't know. It's burned it down. Yes. Dang it. You're right. It's systemic. I'm trying to avoid buzzwords, but I saw a bunch of flags being mounted on things. Does, is this like, okay, I'm, no, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But, but, but, but what kind of flag that's what I'm trying, I'm trying to avoid, um, keep going. Global conflict right now. And it seems like, I'm like, I don't know if that was, is that why there is overpopulation in the schools or is this just taking advantage of conflict and making a balance? It's an immigration issue. Yeah. But who is it? I'm trying to avoid it. Yeah. Yeah. somebody like joins in and starts complaining, and you're like, actually, we weren't even talking about that. We're not talking about that right now, the whole country's on fire. I think it's just not a unified front. It also, you're hurting the wrong people. You have the shop owners that are just being ransacked and like, it's just like, that's horrific. And we were talking about this yesterday, but it's like, if you want to do something, like, why are you not, why are you leaving the government buildings alone? Why are you not standing outside? You have the government officials homes and stuff and just like protesting. And it's like, this is, you're making it easy because you know, if you walk into a government building, you're getting arrested, you're getting, you know, tays, shots smoked, whatever you got to do. Did you see the rioters save somebody? No, but it's just easier to do that. Go into a shop and, you know, shop lift and stuff like that and tear that because you're not going to get in trouble. The cops are going to go away from it. Well, we saw some America, we saw some America, and we're basically like, we're kind of like defining what it looks like to riot. And it's like, tighten up Americans. Because like the George Floyd thing, obviously it was righteous for everybody to be pissed. It was terrible. What happened in George Floyd and also like the systemic racism that's happened in the United States. But stealing TVs from Target, like, what does that have to do with it for real? Yeah, and that's the tough thing. And that's what the government would want. Like they want you to just like, okay, you're being silly. Like it doesn't affect them. What's so average? It discredits, it discredits the message. When you take that route is what I'm saying. And it's just a bomber. Like I get it. Like I get like that mentality, but it's angry and you just want to take advantage of the opportunity. I get it. But it's like, what, what we don't, we're not changing nothing though. First kids, come to Florida. No, no. No, no. No, no. No. Dude, I saw the saddest clip. There was, there was a guy he had like a cell phone accessory store. And it literally, I watched the clip as the glass got broken in and everyone just started piling in. And he's the owner. He's, no, no, no. And he starts trying to pull people away and someone hits him and he's saying, please, please, it's caption. I'm trusting. That's what it is. But then one of the rioters turns around and realizes like what you're doing, what he's doing. And he takes him and hugs him and then just slowly walks him away so he doesn't get trampled. And he, and then like it cuts back to him. And the guy's just crying across the street looking at his store. And the guy's just kindly like, it's not safe to try to stop him and just kind of keep him there. But I'm like stay right here while we rot your store as old as if, but it's like you remember that clip from the Rodney King riots remember those in that, that store owner that's going out in the street and just like yelling at everyone, it's like man, it's like that was like heart wrenching. It's like, what have we learned? That was 30 years ago. Yeah. Crazy, man. Crazy. This French people, man. Don't get me. Crazy. I'm gonna see. Um, but yeah, it's wild, man. Speaking of revolutions. Yeah. Go ahead. It's not really a fun fact, but a fun fact that I learned over the weekend, um, uh, do you remember Waco, the whole, you know, I think about every day, it's like, Roman it by every five days. I really think about it. Go ahead. Um, but did you know that like they used a sonic weapon at Waco? Yeah. Do they were using, they were using weapons outside of the Geneva Convention that were banned by the Geneva Convention? I'm sure I knew that because I've seen the series. I've seen the documentaries, but do you know what specifically kind of they use for the sonic weapon? No. Crazy. They used like it, ear blasting type of, uh, you know, like a speakers playing, um, sounds, but it was like sirens, you know, people screaming, people like crying and stuff like that. And they would just play that throughout the night. But one of the worst things that they did at Waco is they played sounds of tortured rabbits. Where did they get that footage? Where did they get that sound? Oh my gosh, they scared me, scared me, dude, because it literally, I, the thing is I listened to what the, because they played it in a hearing like they're breaking down what happened at Waco and they played it because it and everything that you hear is, you know, usually from like, you know, like one of the shows that we did Waco and they're like, it's not the real sound that they used. Right. But, um, and what was the organization that did took over? It was the guns. Um, what is that organization that comes for Ruby Ridge? They came there too. The DEA. Not the DEA. It's the drug enforcement. The ATF. ATF. And so that was part of it. They're breaking it down and they play it during the hearing. And it's awful. Oh my gosh. It's awful. And there were so many children in there. Yeah. And also like, if this guy is mentally deranged and this guy is on the edge of hurting a lot of people, he's, you know, borderline personality, whatever. Who knows what this guy is doing? Do you think playing this is going to help the cause for him into good action? Absolutely. Is your what a tortured rabbit sounds like? No, I don't. No more. Yeah. It's awful. Who's torturing this rabbit? That's like, that's my thing. Where are they going? Why does the government have that? That's why the government. Like, why is that on their files? They're in V3s. Oh my gosh. You just do like, coyote calls, like predator calls. Oh, and then scream. Oh, I see. You put like a speaker in a field. That video was from PETA. Oh, fun. It was a sound of a rabbit getting its fur ripped off. Cool. Just super. Stop it. It's awful. Sorry, kids. He's not showing up. He's probably not showing up this year. Oh, man. Terrible though, right? I mean, like, you think about it, like, that's just something that you, we don't think our government's capable of doing that, but they were happily playing those sounds. They were like so bizarrely motivated to dismantle this group. I understand he was dangerous and all that stuff, but it's like, they had nobody cared about the kids or the wives. It felt like they were just so mad at like this organized cult. Yeah. Maybe we should do a deep dive into that because I don't think we've ever broken that down. We've talked about Ruby Ridge. We kind of did a little years ago. Debbie. When the show came out. Yeah. Weird. What was his name again? I can't remember. I need to talk to Paige about it because she freaking lived there. Dude, I listened to the jumping. - That's amazing. - That's amazing. - Yeah, dang, sick, you saved her. - Baylor, yeah. - That's amazing. - My buddy, what? - David Kuresh. - David Kuresh, that's it. - Branchas. - David Kuresh. - Kuresh, wait a minute. I think they've been seen in the same room together. - What's so funny about it is that they were a seven day Adventist church. That's how they started. And then it just spun out. - That's how they all started. - That's just one guy's like, nevermind. - What? (laughs) - My buddy says that town is primed for Colts. He's like, 'cause it started there. - Took the Chippin' Joan again. - Oh, yeah, really? - He's like, there's another church that seems to be doing good things, but like everywhere you go, someone's like, hey, can I pray for you? Like, I don't know anything bad about him, but it's just weird, like, how many places you run into this church as people, and then Chippin' Joan, I come in, and they're like, we're gonna capitalize on this ley line. - Have you heard you home goods? - Have you heard the good news of Ship Lap? (laughs) - I'm scared. (laughs) - Oh, well speaking of government. - Pro. - Protest. - Yes. - We'll talk to you guys about another revolution. - Evil. - The Communist Revolution of China. - Mao Zedong, people, and I got all the info on it. Managed account for your child. Visit the link in our bio. - Hey, real quick, guys, we got a gift for you for the month of November. - We do, if you've been thinking about ordering some custom shirts, hoodies, whatever for your church, now would be a good time. - Sunday Cool is giving ninjas a butterfly 10% off. Everybody's order. If you call them, you let them know for the whole month of November. - Which is a pretty solid deal, folks. - Yeah, especially if you're ordered for a big group. - That's a big chunk of money. - That's money that you can be spending on other things like lotions and fine silkware. - Or another order of shirts. - Or a down payment for a bunker. - So here's all you gotta do. Here's the important part. - When you call Sunday Cool, you're gonna talk to somebody and you just let them know that you heard about the November offer on ninjas, our butterflies, they're gonna apply that 10% on to your order. - And you do have to mention it, don't just assume that they know what you're talking about.

So I'm explaining it right now. It's for your, it's all of November, but it's for like people who've made the first order. - Not just November first. - It's their first order in November. - Yes. - Got it. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Go ninjas! (upbeat music) - Are you ready? What do you, Jackson? - What was it, Jackson? - What's his name? - No, it's this woman. She's a child psychologist. She's been on Diary of CO a few times and I, she's sick. She's awesome. Her name is Erica something. - Kitinga, Inka Kapu, Hakanah. - She's just out here. She's like, she's not pulling any punches. She's telling people what's up. - What's her name? - What's up with that? - She does mostly like early development. And so we've all missed our window. It's every Andrew. - I hear the buzzing now. - Erica Kalmasar. - Kalmasar. - This lady, she lives in like Manhattan. And so she has kind of like, she has like Ritsie bias 'cause she's watching the, how it is sociologically there. And so she's like, daycare because you are going, I'm not saying this is, you know, I'm not dog on anybody 'cause, because America is the way that it is because people made it this way. - Sure. - But like moms that go, like your kid needs you, you know, especially in those first three years, it's so important. And like protecting them from stress and from. - It's Andy's. - Like basically what's natural as a parent. - I'm just not hearing it. - I don't hear it at all. Anyway, she's not pulling any punches. She's like, you have to sacrifice. And you know, you denunes are an excellent example of that. You and Kelsey said, we're having kids. Kelsey, you're gonna be home. - I didn't say that. She wanted to. She wanted to. - I'm not saying that you're being bossy. I'm just saying that you guys, even when it was a real sacrifice, you guys made that decision. - Yeah, I mean, that was amazing. - She wanted to be home with the girls and I was at no point like we weren't making, like we weren't making a lot of money when we first had kids at all. And so it was just one of those things where, but if she wanted to do, it's like, if she wanted to do it, then we'll make it happen. And it was a lot, you know? That's why we went to Biolife twice a week and donated plasma twice a week because we needed to pay for bills and stuff. So. - Now you're rich. - Groceries. And now I live in a mansion. Now I live in a castle. I have 17 cars. - Yep. - And money is not an object to me. Every time I go somewhere, I tell them, "Money's no object." And they're like, "Sir, this is an Arby's." I said, "What money is not an object? Give me extra curly fries." - What's interesting about what she says, too, 'cause she's coming from the perspective of these, like, actually affluent families, like, and basically like moms that are just choosing to have a career instead of like, you know, whatever, which is like, do you? - Yeah. - It's her. - It's fine. - Okay, keep going. - Keep going. - But she um, what she's neglecting to recognize is that second-wing feminism did this to us because the government. - Yeah, boo. - The government wanted to tax two paychecks. So now a dual income household is almost the only way to survive this economy. - Yeah. - Unless you really button down. Or like, your husband makes a ton of money. - Speaking of dual. - Or your wife can we stay at home dance? - Yeah. - I love that. - Speaking of, 200-patreon. - Patreon.com/neudibutterplace. We also have a new shirt people, our new space lady shirt. - We just talked about that, but they just heard about it. - I know, I'm just a minute ago. - I'm re-iterating it. - Iterating it, yeah. - Okay. - Look at the text I just say him. This is in Lakeland, Florida. A new flying police vehicle, ladies and gentlemen. - Oh, it's poison, what? - Look so dorky. - It's not, it's appending FAA approval right now, but it's built by the Florida Polytechnic University in Lakeland. - What are you gonna do with that? - Hey, stop. - Dude, imagine they fly through a riot or something, everyone's heads can be decapitated. - Oh my gosh, I hope that won't happen. - I hope, yeah, I mean, capitals are gonna be detated, for sure. - I mean, it literally looks like when police men ride bikes, that's really good. - Hey, stop that. - Hey, stop that. - Hey, you over there. - Hey, push. - Hey, push. - Come here. - I'm gonna get you. - Boom, boom. - Rascal. - Yeah. - Yeah, what are they gonna do with that? - I don't know. - I mean, it's the future. We got. - Strap the driving robots in Miami. - On it. - Bro. - Then we'll be talking. We'll be talking. - We'll be scared, we'll be scared then. - Strap some. - Should do that to a bike. - Torpedo to a bike. - Speaking of Torpedo to a bike. What is this court come up with? - These questions come from our Discord patrons, join our Discord and our Patreon account. - Patreon.com/Ningerbutterflies. - So that Kelsey can stay even more at home with her girls. - Please. - Okay, I have two questions because both of them were not amazing, I'm just gonna say. But thank you for submitting them. - Yeah, the way to insult them. - Wow. - Try questions. - They know how I feel about them. - Okay. - DJ Mats and I, I think they know how I feel about them. - Mats and says, if you were a day of the week, what would you be? - Oh. - That's fun, it's fun to think about. 'Cause I'm a Friday type of girl, 'cause you know, you catch a vibe on a Friday. - Friday, I think we should pick. - I think we should pick, right? - Okay, yeah, go ahead. - You just go around. So I think Saturday. - Saturday. - Monday. - Definitely Monday. - You're Wednesday. I can see that. - Yeah. - Like Wednesday. - Thanks. - It's good news, bad news kind of thing. It's just like, you're right in the middle. - What the flip is going on here? - What? - I'm a Monday. - How are you not a Monday vibe? - Let's reframe that. - I think you're a Friday. - Oh yeah, I thank you. - Thank you. - Why are you, like, 'cause I felt like I was a Monday, and I would own that with pride. So I'm trying to understand why you reacted poorly to being labeled Monday. - Because I, well, that's just your vibe. - Monday's in my right. - You're just like a, no, but you're like, I like to know what's going on and have a plan with tenacity. - Yes. - Do you feel differently than that about yourself? - Yes. - How so? - I'm the opposite of a Monday. I could be a Sunday afternoon. - A Monday would totally say that's a Monday tap, I think, does that? - Yeah. - I'm really a Friday. I'm a Friday. - You're not a Friday. - I'm a Friday after 3 p.m. - No. - You're a Monday that wants to be a Friday. - I think all Mondays want to be a Friday. - All right, I'm moving on next question. (laughing) - You take one fast food item from modern times into any era of history to present to the people, what food item are you taking and what era are you taking it to? And that's from Doom Slug. - That's very fun. - Doom Slug. - Thank you. - I'm gonna take a, grilled cheese steak burrito you're gonna say that to the Renaissance. I'm going to take a filet of fish to when Jesus had the fish and loaves. Nice. Try this guys. Multiply this. That's right. It's doing Mongolian. That's a miracle. Mongolian beef from Panda Express. Gang is gone. You guys want to say this is named after you. We honor you even in the 2000s with Mongolian beef. And then he's going to taste MSG and be like, well, I come back to the future and the entire world is a Panda Express empire. I spurred him into more action than he really took over the whole world. That's where he failed. He didn't have MSG back man. That's all he needed. It's the Express dynasty. It's like wait a minute. MSG is Asian Coke. Yeah, true. Cocaine or Coca-Cola? Yes. I would bring back the nacho fries from Taco Bell to the JFK assassination. Why? I think it would stop Lee Harvey Oswald from doing what he's doing. What kind of world would we have today? He would still have been executed, though, probably. Because then Lee Harvey Oswald would have been not even part of history. That's the scariest thing about at least to save his life. I have case. No, not JFK. It's scary to think about time travel is if you went back to try to change something that you thought was like, this is what needs to happen. You realize it changed nothing. The future you come back to it would be. It was wrong. Have you ever seen the show? You haven't seen it? I know. But I've got 11, 11, 11, 22, 63. No, it's a Stephen King book. It's basically, I think you would like the show. I think both of you in page would like it because it has a good, just a great story. There's romance. There's James Franco. The lead actor. But the premise is that in this old diner in this like closet or pantry, you go in it. It takes you back to like 1961. And he gets, James Franco gets convinced to go back into this pantry to stop the JFK assassination. But you have to live there for two years before and every time you come back, it's the life that you altered. And then when you go back to travel back in time, it resets so you're back in 1961 again. So if you mess up or something, it's a great show. It's a great mini series. That sounds freaking cool. Yeah, I think you'd like it. It's been a liking it. It is with that beat. It just got a real. Oh, look, mom. What? It just got a real. And he's got to show us right now. Hit the applause. And the crowd goes wash the ceiling, face on the microphone. Ouch. Bowing to send. Ouch. All right. You're going to have to need that. You're going to need to hit play on this real quick. The fact that this is in a beauty salon is absolutely crazy. Just hit play as soon as you get it. It doesn't matter. I don't have it. Do you need me audio? Oh, not deliver. Why is it doing? We had terrible service. Guess what? We're all delivered. Yes, we are. All right. Please stop doing that. Can I plug something? I never plug anything. Yeah, you do all the time. It's literally every episode. You play anything. We all know Debbie Chin. The greatest spot lady to ever exist. Cosmodologist, right? No, she's a hairdresser. And an artist. Cosmodologist is makeup. She's also like a fantastic conspiracy theorist. She's also like an ADHD girlie and as many interests as she's an artist. She is starting a YouTube channel. Oh, cool. Her handle is Bora, Mina, Bora, B-O-R-A, Space, M-I-N-A, Space, B-O-R-A. Please go follow her and comment only nice things, like super nice things and support my dear friend. Is she a conspiracy stuff? She's doing anything that interests her as mostly art stuff. Right now, she's converting her home into a Harry Potter castle. Very cool. That's dope. It's so dope. Also, Cosmodology is a professional study. An application of beauty treatments, including hair styling, hair cutting, chemical coloring, skin care, makeup, application of nail care. So don't ever correct me and Cosmodology. She does all that stuff. And she does wigs and stuff too, which is cool. Still waiting for you guys to accept the air drop. Oh, it's an air drop. I don't know how an air drop, Andrew. It's gone. It's gone. I just send it back because you declined it. I never, it never popped up on my phone. I got it now. Lily Boone over there. What the flip? Is this life? Lily, what are you doing? All right. Andy has it. You'll just have to look at his phone because I don't know why. What do you mean? What am I doing? He said open it as soon as you get it. I did say that. I'm following the rules. You're not following the rules because I don't have it. That was horrific. You ready to watch it? Yeah. Three, two, one. How are you going into the salon like that? Oh, just I'm gonna throw up. Yeah, dude. You shave your head then. Yeah, why are you going into a salon? That's nice, right? She might have gotten to this one for help. Shave your head. Oh, shave your head. I feel so nauseous for every single place that every single place that person's been. Oh, my gosh. Burn it down to the ground. She might have lived in the woods though. We don't know. And then maybe this salon artist founder and then was like. That's what's most likely happened. I cost what all just is taking a hike as I'll save you. I think that's more likely than this person has been walking around like that. You know, if that's what she's doing, don't do it in your freaking business. No, it could have been in our house. Oh, my gosh. That's awful. Yeah, bro speaking of awful things. Yeah. You know, we discussed on this podcast before. It seems like stuff happens every 80 years. Yeah, cyclical. A big change. Maybe your cycle, baby. Well, apparently there's some science to it. Okay. Weird coincidences. When we bring you down this journey of our planets, what's the study of planets? Is it astrology or astronomy? I think it's astronomy. Astrology's like the star. Yeah. Which is I guess. Yeah, I guess this is part of astrology then. Astrology and astronomy. Well, then stop right there because it's a scene. All right. I got this from a fellow on TikTok who goes by Jim's wormhole. We're diving into Jim's wormhole guys. Buckle up. I'm going to try to explain it as best as I can, but it's very complicated. So just stick with me. All right. We're here. Don't glaze over. I was. Three moments changed America forever. The Revolution War. The Civil War in World War Two. Each time the country emerged with a different identity and a different place in the world. There's an unusual astronomical overlap between them. To follow it, start 11 days before the first shots of the Revolution War. April 8th, 1775, a distant object re-entered the section of the tropical zodiac astrologers called Gemini. Old. April 19th, 1775. Fighting broke out at Lexington and Concord, beginning the American Revolution War. July 4th, 1776, when Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. That object in the sky stood approximately eight degrees, 55 minutes into Gemini. Remember that position. Okay. Okay. I feel like I need a notepad. At that time, nobody knew that that object was a planet. A new planet? 1781, March 13th, with the Revolutionary War still underway, astronomer William Herschel discovered it. The planet Uranus. Uranus. Uranus. And it was still in Gemini. Uranus takes approximately 84 year, 84 earth years to orbit the Sun. Cool. Over time, astrologers associated that planet with rebellion, upheaval and revolution. At one point, it was called the Revolution Planet. Interesting. It makes sense. Let's scoot forward about 84 more years. 1860. The next hundred bucks on July, okay. June 18, sorry, November 6th, 1860. Here comes Uranus. Boop. Popped into Gemini. Abraham Lincoln is elected president. Oh boy. December 20th, 1860. South Carolina became the first state to secede from the union. South Clip. South Clip. Good evening. Around December 28th, 29th, Uranus crossed the founding position again while people appearing to move backward in the sky a normal parent motion called retrograde, of course. April 1st, 1861. It made its final crossing, Uranus. April 12th, 1861, Confederate forces open fire on Fort Summers, the Civil War began. - Thank, all in Gemini. - All in Gemini, all when Uranus is coming back around. - Can I ask real quick, what is Gemini? It's like a longitudinal section? - I guess section of sky, I don't know. - Sky or space? - Stars. - Oh. - dishwasher broken? - Not broken, it's kinda, we gotta trip the breaker. - Freak. - Let's fast forward another 84 years. 1944, May 30th, Uranus has returned to approximately its July 1776 zodiac position in the sky again. - Sure. - Exactly one week later, June 6th, 1944. Do you know that day? - Yeah. - D-Day. - D-Day. - Oh my gosh. - This time the planetary return coincidence and turning point deep into an existing war. I don't know what I just said. - I get it, I get it just. - So you can see there's a pattern now. - Sure. - Anytime Uranus is coming about. - But the only thing is now we're switching countries. Was America a part of the war when D-Day happened? - That we were the storming on D-Day. We storm Normandy. That is D-Day. - Well, us and others. - America was the primary force to storm the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. - I know that now, I remember. (laughing) - Oh my gosh. - There was this man William Strauss and Neil Howe in 1977 wrote a book The Fourth Turning, The American Prophecy. They prophesied that basically following the pattern of every 80 to 100 years, something happens in America. So in 1997, they proposed that in the climax of Gemini, which will be the 2030s, in between right now. - Yeah. - In 2030, something big is going to happen. - Sure. - I mean, that makes sense. - The date that keeps popping up the most. 2027. - Of course. Of course. 2027. We'll talk to Lily later. - We'll wait for the shock all the way. - Answer my mom, she's at our house right now giving in an inspection so that we can close on our home. - Well, our world could be ending. So, and he just told you the date. - Can you, can you go back and tell me that date? - Oh, Kelly. - 2027. - 2027. - Again, that number. Again, that number. - That's crazy. - That's crazy. - You should've seen me. I was locked in, dude. My eyes were like, I was showing you my whites. That's how locked in I was. - Let's go back to this man. His name is Sherne. What the heck did I just say? - Sir John. - Sure. (laughing) - Zippin. - Sure, Herschel. - Sir John Baggett Glob. - Glob. - Cool name. - He was a British lieutenant, General World War I veteran, an author who commanded the Jordan's Arab Legion from 1939 to 1956. He wrote this article called The Fate of Empires. And what he did is he went back into history and he observed empires, like the Byzantine Empire. I mean, it's just like all these empires, the Babylonian Empire, all these empires. - Sure. - And was finding that they all existed for around 250 years. - Yeah. - And then suddenly they just started collapsing. Well, folks. This past April, Uranus has re-intergemini. - Oh gosh, we're at war right now. Do you know what July 4th was this year? - 250th anniversary. - 250th anniversary. - This is what I've been saying. - That's weird. - Ancient civilizations, last on average, 250 years. So the prediction is between now and potentially 2030, they're looking at 2027. America is going down the toilet. - Yeah. - I'm not surprised. - I wish there were signs that were showing that though. 'Cause everything's going so well. - Everything is going super well. - Everything's getting a new name. I mean, you don't do that when things are going out of toilet. - No, not at all. - Anyways, I thought that was very fascinating. - Very fascinating. I guess we're astrologers now? 'Cause we love astrology. - I think so. - Typical, Aquarius. - You have a star on your knuckle. - Ooh. - Is that an Aquarius thing? - That's a sun, which is a star. - Sun in the moon. - Of course. - Yeah, that's true. - People are ever wondering, use of the days of creation. These are the days of creation. But I thought that was pretty crazy. It's like, and of course, there's that thing. It's called like just like force pattern recognition to where you can kind of like. - Yeah, you can connect any dot. - But that's pretty cool. I mean, that's pretty wild. Every 80 to 84 years, when Uranus comes back in, there's a major event that happens in the United States. - But it's kind of sick in a way. 'Cause this 80 year cycle, they always say like, your grandfather went to war so that. Or it's like your grandfather held a gun so that your son can write a book. I can't remember. What is it like? How's it going? Do you remember? - Play a game, boy. - So that his son can teach peace or something like that. And then his son. - Strong, let me fix it for you. - Is it all that Roosevelt that this quote? - Strong men create good times, good times create, weak men, weak men create bad times, bad times create. - Strong men. - Strong men. - Yes. - Yeah. - Or women. - Or women. - No. - No. - Chance. - Yes. - Oh, yes. - Anyways, that's my Uranus. I love Uranus. Thank you. It's probably the best. Okay. Yeah, it is. - It's cute. I heard it's cute. - Everyone stop. - What? - I was going on about his cute touch to his family the other day. - Okay, why are you doing this? I have another thing with the space stuff if you guys want to hear it. - Yeah, why not? Let's get off this touch talk. - I just, this one is really complicated. I'm going to be a terrible job explaining this one. I chose like the most difficult thing stuff. - A lot of confidence is going into the story. - He's like, I don't know how tomorrow's going to go. - I'm not ready to say that. - Chat GBT, help me explain this like I'm a five-year-old child. - That's what I said, too. - What if the calendar that we have now isn't the best calendar? Larry's talked about this. Dr. Larry. - Right now, we have 12 months. - Sure. - 13, four-week periods. Why don't we do 13 months, 28 days per month? Because in fact, that's what a lot of people did in ancient civilizations. And it wasn't until the Romans who made a 10-month year, and it wasn't until Julius Caesar where they made a 12-month year. - What's their obsession with changing it? - Maybe they don't know. - They're trumps of volume, they're footsteps. - I was going to say, you know, anything's possible. - Yeah. But the closest, this is a speculation, but they think the 13-month 28-day thing goes back since the beginning. - But 13's an unlucky number. Sorry, go ahead. - Well, I'm going to get to that. - Oh, okay. - They found this carving in France, out of all places, called the Venus of Lassoud. It's approximately 25,000 years old. And the carving is of a woman holding her stomach and holding a horn that has 13 notches in it. - Okay. - So basically, they predict that or they speculate that this was like a cycle. - Yeah, calendar. - So going off 13 moons, 13 months? - Correct. - And she's holding her stomach and women. - Women would be doing that. Women would be doing that. - Women would be cycling. - Tell me about it. - But what's funny is, you hear September, October, November, December, the Latin of those, December, Deca means 10. So that was the 10th month. - What would you think that is? - Deca. - Yeah. - You're thinking about months, December. - November, November, nine, October, October, September. I don't know how you say that in Latin or whatever, but it means seven. So that was the original month. - It's basically saying it's right? Or is that six? See you, De. - See you, De. - But it was, so July was put in, right? And that was named after Julius Caesar. - I see. - August after Augustus. - I see. - And so they just started messing with this calendar, man. - So Jan means one? - I don't know what, I think it's that. - That means two. - No, there's some that are named after like gods. - Oh. - And then then it gets into, I don't know why they did seven through 10 like that, but who knows? But what I found interesting was, so the calendar was changed by the Roman Catholics in the 1500s. And that's when you go back to the date, what was the date? Oh, let me find it. There was that point, October, so 1582. If you go on your Apple calendars and you go back to the year 1582, You'll see there's October 4th, and then it jumps straight to October 15th. Really? Why didn't Apple upload that into there? You can just go back to the year on your calendars. Try it, someone try it. Yeah, but Apple didn't exist in 1592. It's just shown the calendar throughout history. You can go to your calendar app and go to 15, what I say, 1582, and you'll see October 4th and then October 15th. I'm scrolling. I didn't know you could scroll back that far. I'm 18 to 17 hundreds right now. I know. 15, what? 1582. That's kind of cool. How'd you how'd you scroll so quick? So the Roman Catholic Church decided to make it 12 months, and this was to I guess better preserve 1582. Whoa, that's crazy. Yeah. So when they made this change, the only way it was going to work out mathematically was if they removed basically a week and a half, two weeks out of the calendar. And so you just start over. But people back in the day, they would do the 13 months, 28 days per month. So every first of the month would always be on a Sunday. And the last of last day of the month, the 28th would be on a Saturday. It's very highly convenient. Very convenient. But every month had a Friday the 13th. Uh-oh. And they speculate that this whole fear of 13 Friday the 13th was a propaganda piece by the church to create fear to where people wouldn't want to go back to the old calendar. Very interesting. Wow. What's also weird is if you're looking at it zoomed out, it doesn't show it. Then you click it. And then it's there. Mm-hmm. But what's also interesting, dang it, I just lost my train thought. Frick. Something very interesting. Friday the 13th. Yes, stop. I was literally trying to help. Do you think that the Catholic Church funded? Oh, that was it. What's interesting is that in the book of Enoch, there is an angel who talks about the years, and it says a year is 364 days. Yep. Which if you do 13 times 28, that's 364 days. But what they used to do back in the day, or like when people adopted this 13 month 28 day calendar, there's still one day of the year that would have to fill into it day number 365. That day did not have a date to it. It was basically the intermission, if you will, between that year and this year. So there's no date to it. So that's when they would like celebrate. So it was like new year's day, but it wasn't January 1st. It was just, I forget what they called it, but it was just a day that they observed of going from this year to that year. Like a reset. That's kind of cool. It's the perch. But it was made the joke. What I found very interesting, let me see if I can find it real quick. That's pretty cool though. But yeah, Larry told me all of this at midnight at his house one time. He was just like standing across the table from me. He's like, you don't get it. They're messing with the calendar. I was like, so much information. Okay. What do we do with this? Speaking Latin and stuff, like I'm scared. So they're basically saying it's like, it's weird, because it's almost like shortened the year with them changing this calendar and stuff, because there are like a cycle of like 13 moons. And now it's like, there's now there's 12 months. So it's just kind of throwing everything off. It makes sense. They did it right mathematically to align everything up with the seasons. I see. And like the Roman Catholic Church, they did to better lock down Easter, like the correct Easter day. Okay. That was mainly the main motivation. I mean, the main. You are just you're very that hostilely coming. No, that's really cool though. It is interesting to me. I think I wonder what would happen if we did structure our calendar around the moon, because the moon confuses me to no end. Like the girls would be like, why is the moon in the sky while the sun is out? And I'm like, couldn't tell you. Yeah. No idea. But also in the book of Enoch. So it talks about the year being 364 days. It also mentions says, and in the days of sinners, the years shall be shortened. Oh, that's a fun little bit. Isn't that interesting? Yeah. And then another verse that says in the moon shall alter her order and not appear in her time. Oh my gosh. That's giving goosebumps. Didn't we lengthen it to go to 365 though? We did. So how's it shortened? No, no, no, I don't know. I don't know. You have to do with the moon though, right? Yeah, the moon base. Yeah, something with the moon. I'm getting confused now. I just thought it was interesting. I mean, like, but there was something crazy that so Ethiopia actually still holds the 13 months, uh, 28 days. The only country in the world that does it. That's kind of cool. It'd be sick to have an Ethiopian like pastor, someone who like grew up reading Enoch and that being a part of their upbringing come on the show. That would be super red. Probably. Our, our, like, Ark of the Covenant. Who is it? The, the guy who started the company code act. He actually in 1928, decided that his company would use the 13 month 28 day calendar. I'd be so sick for accounting reasons. That's crazy. And they, they did that for over, yeah, 61 years. Code act had the 13 month 28 day calendar for over 61 years in their company for accounting reasons. That seems a lot, like a lot of problems. Yeah. Like, code at the camera. Yeah. And that was successful. They were able to track everything perfectly doing it that way. Some people can like expand their mind that way. Like, some people put their phones on military time. That's not confusing though. Confusing me. But this debate of the calendar actually in 1931 went to the League of Nations where they actually had a vote. Should we go to the 13 month 28 day calendar without one fund day? Or do we continue in this 12 month thing? And they voted to continue in the 12 month. I think I'd go 13 month. I think that'd be super fun. It would make things easier. I just did a contract that I had to write up. And I didn't realize that I had hourly stuff wrapped in. And I build it based on a four week month. And I was like, dang it. I basically just gave away a free month. The calendar is confusing. Yeah. I know because like, when Kelsey was talking with the girls recently, they're like, yeah, she's like, every month is just four weeks. And it's like, no, not technically. I was on true. But it's like, but that's how we have to think of it. Like, it's around four weeks. But it's like 28 days every single month. That'd be great. 28 days past September, also June and November. Oh, yes. In fact, every month is 28 days. What would you name it? What would you name the 13th month? That would be the one. Trump has Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. A member. Yeah. I think it rolls off the tongue pretty well. Yeah. That's interesting. That's very interesting. Did it make sense at all? Yeah, for sure. I had known a little bit about this. So it's kind of like exciting to hear it again. Someone made a video in TikTok and they did it so well. And I'm like, this is fascinating. And as I started like writing it down, I'm like, I'm so confused. Nose goes on clipping this one. Yeah. I'm kidding. But yeah, that's the, but I thought the book of you know, connection was very interesting. Yeah, that's fascinating. I wonder because you talk about the fact that like the church brought it up and they're trying, like that's cool to nail down holidays and try to get down to some authenticity. But that was, help me understand the church history. Was that part of a season where they were like grabbing at anything for supremacy? Oh yeah. So like, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And that was, that was a 1500. So it'd been like right in the prime of the reformation, though, too, right? Luke, there's trying to just like save people from indulgences and they're like, shut up. We're building a calendar or a calendar. We're changing time. And building calendars cost money. The end of the video I watched, though, basically the conspiracy part was of keeping control because if humans, if we don't know, like because they were so in tune with nature back then, like they know exactly what day it is because where the moon is, how big it is, all that stuff. Yeah. And so if you mix it all up to where it's like the moon no longer matches necessarily our calendar, you lose all sight of what's around you. Yeah. It's kind of crazy that we don't let weather and like moon cycles and all that stuff dictate what we do. Like they talk, I mean, the fact that the sun and the darkness controls melatonin production. When you see sun and morning, you actually get a jolt of cortisol to wake up. I was looking at the we're going to have a full moon called the Hunters Moon this Monday. But the reason it's called that is because post harvest moon, there's like scattered crops that after the harvest. And so animals come out and they use the night light to hunt on this moon. But I'm like, what a sick way to live where you actually get to follow like your own bodies and clinicians. Oh my word. I know. Like I wonder if that calendar would help us with it. That's what, I mean, I'm like pages getting annoyed because I'm like, I'm going to kill a deer really bad. I'm like, is it just because it's season or is there something biologically in us that once I start to feel like the cold air come through. I'm like, this is what I'm supposed to go. So how easy would it be to plan stuff out? Because it's Sunday's the first, Saturday's the 28th. - Yeah. - And then you just get four weeks. - But even like think about the acorns just fell. That is the predominant food source in our woods right now. Like literally I don't have pictures of bucks on camera. They won't come to corn because they're all chasing acorns. But if you think about that from like trying to eat good, literally everything's fattened up right before the harvest moon. - You just gotta go tell a page up. - Oh, there's harvest. - I don't think I'm going this weekend. - I don't know my second. - But I mean, to her defense, I'm like every five seconds. I think I wanna go try to kill something. - Yeah. - I would really like get out of here. (laughing) - No screaming in the background. She's like, really right now? - Anyway, that's enough of my at home. - Because I was gonna talk about Mao Zedong. - You literally teased that. - I know. So I gotta talk about it. - You have to talk about it. - Talk about it. - We'll finish it out. - We'll shorten it a little bit. 'Cause again, it wrote way too many notes. I gotta dial this in somehow. There, I listened to this podcast by my homeboy father, just say I train him. - I've heard of him. - Patristic nectar. He's an orthodox priest. And he does these really cool segments sometimes where he talks about communists and socialists for leaders he calls them the Antichrist of that time. And so he did that episode on Stalin. That's where I learned a ton of atrocities that he did. But he just recently did one of Mao Zedong, the Antichrist of China. Fascinating episode. He basically just named off bullet points and like, it's nuts. - Interesting. - But the whole point of it is he's like, look at the signs, look at how communism started in these countries. Now, look at America and look at some key components that are happening that were happening in China or happening in Russia. A lot of similarities. But Mao Zedong, looking into him, you're like, holy cow. Talk about evil. This dude takes the cake. Terrible guy. So he was born into a farming family. A rich farming family. - What was this? - This was in 1893. - Okay. - It's kind of funny because of, he was born into a wealthy family. Didn't really have to work for it. Had a terrible relationship with his father, just like Joseph Stalin and Hitler, patterns. Father's be good to your children. Because then you might create a Mao Zedong. Father's be good to your daughters and daughters be good. John Mayer. - Right. - Yes. - Grahavi. - Mama, don't let your baby's grow. It'd be cowboys. - Yes, been saying that. - But he was a, this was during this time, the dynasty of like the monarchy, the dynasty of China was collapsing. And the free peoples of China were rising like a democracy. And in the same breath, the communist movement was also starting to rise up. And so they were just kind of like battling each other. They ended up going to like a civil war. The free peoples of China in the communist party. Mao Zedong moved up the ranks. Well, first, Mao Zedong first learned about communism in college. - Fun. - Where he had professors teaching him about Marxism. He's like, "I like that." - Sounds good. - I mean, you can see a lot of that, what's happening in America right now. - Actually. But so Mao Zedong was just a terrible, terrible person. Only cared about himself and power and control. Started moving up in the ranks. He would send people in the communist party that he didn't like to the front lines, knowing that they were going to die, all in order to keep climbing the ranks. - Very King David of them. - Yep. And then World War II broke out. Japan invaded China. They put the civil war on hold because Japan did atrocities to China, which I don't know if you've ever looked into that. - No. - To the Korea, the Philippines, to China, basically all of Asia. Japanese were doing awful things. War ended. Communist Party comes back. And they basically formed this revolution where they got the peasants involved, which is similar to what happened in the USSR, right? You get the poor people involved. You rise the power. Communism takes over. And then everyone is treated like crap. - Yeah. (laughs) - Really? He said, Mao Zedong, one of his lines was, you are against the people if you own more than four acres. Do your traitors to this country if you own more than four acres. Give us all your land. We'll collect all the farmers, disperse them, and we'll become this agricultural giant. - Just like Stalin did. - Yeah. - In fact, Mao Zedong went to Russia to meet with Joseph Stalin. Joseph Stalin did not give a rip about Mao Zedong. Made Mao Zedong wait in the house for two weeks before he even met him. - What a turret. - Was rude to him, but Mao Zedong was so offended by that. - Yeah. - He's like, "I wanna take what you're doing and actually be a worse human being." (laughs) - I'm gonna do it better. So what he did, it was called, let's see, the great leap forward. So he's like, "Let's be innovative, people with their farming." - Sure. - Not knowing really anything about farming, even though growing up in a farming household, grew their crops super close together, grew it just very poorly. And then they adopted this thing called the Four Pest Campaign. And part of it was called the War on Sparrows. So what they were doing, it was this mandate in China, if you see a sparrow, kill it. Because these sparrows are eating all of our grain. So they basically wiped out the sparrows in China. And what that led to was insects taking over the crops. - Yeah. - Cause one of the biggest famines in human history, over 10 million Chinese people died from this famine. - Oh my gosh. 10 million Chinese people died from this famine. - Famous, gracious. - And then everything was just going super poorly. - Yeah. - Countries and ruins, millions of people are dying. - Starving to death. - Mousie Dong says, "I have an idea." - Great, another one. - Here's a new campaign called the Hundred Flower Campaign. And when I'm asking everyone, I'm asking students, professors, intellectuals come forward with your best ideas of how to improve China. - Sure enough, a bunch of people came with their ideas how to change China. I guess what Mousie Dong did. - Kill them all. - Kill them all. - Does he ever send it or something? - Never give a narcissist what you think you could do better. - Kill all these intellectuals because they were opposed to what he was doing. They said, "We can fix it, but you have to stop doing it this way." - Oh my goodness. - Thank you for your advice, pow! - So basically it's just like, you know, you're either with me, or you're against me. - Yep. - Yeah, lay this guy down to learn to take criticism. - I thought that was me saying kill them all was a joke. I didn't know that you were actually gonna. - Yeah, no, he imprisoned them. He sent them to. - It makes sense knowing the kind of guy he is, but yeah. - How many people was that? - That was a couple thousand about these intellectuals that came, which is actually funny because they're, people referred him to this early Chinese king, or Emperor, I should say. And they're like, this Emperor brought in these intellectuals. There's like 40. And he's like, he killed them because they were smart people. And Mao Zedong said, "How dare you compare me to that man? I'm better than that man." He killed 40. I buried thousands. - This was. - He's like embracing the way. - Yeah, weird bragging rights. - Yeah. But Mao Zedong, you know, ends up living a terrible life because he was a terrible man. Never brushed his teeth. - Ew. - In fact, he just rinsed his mouth out with tea because he wanted his teeth to look black. - I feel like there's other ways to intimidate people. - It would work though. - Yeah. - If you're trying to like, work things out with this guy, you'd want to get out there as soon as possible. - True. - So. - Despite all the terrible things Mao did, he lived to age 82, died in 1976. And in his reign, he killed over 60 million Chinese people. - Bro. - I didn't know he was alive that long. That's a reason. - Yep. - Jeez, man. - 60 million people dead under the reign of Mao Zedong. - And how to, like, I'm not like discounting what, you know, what happened in Germany in World War II, but it's like, that's a crazy number compared. - Yeah. - Like, how are we not talking about it at school? - I think it was around six million Jews. - Yeah. - I think total was like six and a million. Yeah, 10 to 16. Stalin was like in the 40 millions, Mao Zedong over 60 million. - That's the thing, why is that, why is awful, but why is the Holocaust like, in my memory of schooling, the worst thing that's ever happened in human history? - Well, even just, even Adolf, like, he's labeled as the worst human in history. And obviously, we're not comparing all of this tragedy. But still, it's like, that is bonkers. Yeah, we learned about these other atrocities. And this is a way to frame is like, that's horrific because we don't teach it because we we benefit from these countries or we did at some point. Yeah. Like the Nazis were very easy to write off was like, they didn't want to partner with us. Maybe we tried at some point. I think another reason why we teach it so adamantly is because we participated as the hero in this war. Yeah. Yeah. You brushed over like a causal detail though, you talked about the operation sparrow or whatever is called so to protect grain led to a bug infestation, but what eats bugs? Yes, sparrows. Well, now that now that the sparrows are gone, it's so it can't be birds. What is it now? Rats, bats, bats, bats, govins, govins. Thanks, Malsaedong. Anyways, those kind of summarized Malsaedong, but all that to say people should really know their history, know how movements start and it may sound appealing because you may have leadership that you don't necessarily like, but I'm telling you communism is not the way. But we could try it. No. Do you see like what's the worst that could happen? 60 million people. Do you see Matthew McConaug's monologue? Yeah, the independent. Yeah, he's like to party system is not working for us. Not all dogs in this fight have a fair fight. All right. I think that was pretty good. It's very interesting. It's a very scary world that we're living in. Matthew McConaug's running for president. Honestly, I would see that I'm wondering if this is a play here's my vote. He has. He has my vote. Yes. Um, Malsaedong, boo. But Johnny Harris, you know, boy, he does great videos. He did a video recently on why China is booming economically, fascinating stuff because I'm you just kind of like, there's all these influencers going over China like China has this. China has that. Look at that. Everything's so cheap. He breaks down how that happened and it's fascinating because after Malsaedong, the next person to come into power looked at everything. He's like, this isn't working because one of the things was China. There's like three provinces in China, all the profit made the taxes or they were taxed and all go to the central Beijing bank to the Communist Party and then it was redistribute evenly throughout these provinces. So you can never flourish economically in that manner. Yeah. And so this guy, he came in and he's like, we're only going to tax you a fixed rate. So anything you produce over that, you provinces get to keep. And so it was just immediately they started building factories and all that stuff started just boom, boom, boom, boom, building. And then another ruler came in and he's like, no, let's go back to the old way. And he said, but so all the land in China is owned by the Communist Party is not privately owned. You can own a home privately, but the land that it sits on belongs to communist China. What's the point? So China was like, we will reward you and pay you if you start building buildings. And so they just started building and building and building and building and profiting. And in fact, everyone in the Chinese government, the Communist Party, they have a report card. So I'm talking about a mayor of a town. He has a report card. And the top line in this report card was your GDP. So how much money are you bringing into your area of China? And everyone's goal is to make it to the top of the Communist Party. So everyone's like, let's just start building stuff. And so that's why you had a bunch of ghost towns in China recently, you know, like just it looks like a ban in cities because they're profiting off of building breaks. They're kind of hitting the point though in China to where there's no more stuff to build. And so they're saying that this bubble of China is about to pop. And so that's why they're saying GGPing is kind of in a way reverting back to the old Mao Zedong type communist was like, now instead of being graded on GDP, we are grading you on loyalty to the party. Are you keeping protests down in your city? Are people loyal to the Communist Party? And so that is what the ticket to you start moving up to the Communist Party. The thing that I'm hearing from you which I think is we get actually learn from as a nation is the part where they were able to start booming as a country is when they gave people a tax they understood and put a limit on it. Like dang, I would love that right. What you're saying though too about how he's pivoting his mindset and like measurable makes me concerned for Christians in China. Yes, well that was the factor that I left out of this whole thing. Marxism as we know is an atheistic movement, very anti-Christian. So during this reign of Mao Zedong, there was a large majority, the large majority of Christians in China were actually Roman Catholic. Interesting. Well, and they were part of that 60 million. And to this day Christianity is illegal in China. They have state controlled churches in China, but they have taken the Bible and they have taken out anything that could be opposed to the Communist Party. So that's why there is a booming underground church movement in China. Yeah. Very much needed. Yeah, to be praying for our Chinese brothers and sisters because they got it real. And Mao Zedong recently has been cracking down really hard on Christians. Shipping. What do they say? Mao Zedong. Oh yeah, Xi Jinping. Same. Same. So there's actually, I think I talked about before, there's a really good book called The Heavenly Man. It's about brother Yun, who's a underground church pastor in China, fascinating story. And it really gives you a glimpse into the Chinese Christian movement and how secretive they have to be, how much they crave a Bible. Like, they just want a Bible, they want to need a Bible. And it's illegal to have it. So there's these people that literally risking their lives, risking their lives, but they'll bury these Bibles in their backyard and they'll take them out in the middle of the night and start reading them. Yeah. They'll take a little fragment and keep them in safe places so they can just read scripture later. It's amazing. We have it so well in America. Yeah. So, um, just a, uh, I remember watching a video, uh, not long ago about just like why China's going to be a bigger economy than America, like with like why they're going to dominate the globe, like within a certain span of time, and it was like by 2030 or something. But it goes back because I've always heard this statistic and everything and I was like, why are they doing that? But it makes sense for them to be building more property and stuff like that and building more buildings. At one point, less than 15 years ago, there was a peak in China, 6.6 billion tons of cement was poured in just three years. Oh my goodness. That's crazy. That's crazy. That's bonkers. But this also makes sense with China kind of hitting that limit of what they can do to be a prosperous nation. Yeah. Why they're gunning to have superintelligence, um, uh, artificial general intelligence. Yeah. And that's why it seems like Trump, and then we're like, no, we got to beat them to it because if they get it, they'll become the dominant for it. That's the thing. It's a race, man. And like, it's, it's like the space race, but a lot more Ron at stake, a lot at stake. And whatever runs it runs the world. Yeah. It seems like anyways. That's it. All good things. All good things. Way to good. And on a happy note. And on a happy note. But we got an episode right after this folks, patreon.com/ninjasabutterflies, and you have a story for us. Yeah. We can talk about the, uh, the beast of Bray Road, the beast of Bray, a rule. We talked about that. Yeah. Uh, we, uh, there's just some more instances and stuff like that that we could talk about because I know we talked about. And we remember that I like spooky stories. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You say that. And then whenever in the middle of one, you're like, can we stop? It's only when it gets like tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, I did, uh, I need to correct myself. We did not talk about our new shirt within this midroll because we're talking about our new giveaway that we're doing for ninjas listeners for Sunday cool. Right.
