The Greatest Science Question Ever?

Welcome back to the basement yard. You look very pensive over there Frank. Yeah, I've had a bit of a tough thinking day. You ever have one of those? It's three o'clock. You never have one of those where like you're just like you can't crack like figuring something out and you're just like fuck. Is it just me emotionally or like like what do you mean? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I was driving on my way in today and I was having a thought about science. Really? Thank God you. It was true, I was I was driving and I was on I was having a thought about science. Well, I was so I'm driving, do you ever when you drive in Manhattan or like you're in Manhattan? You're looking around just like you know, what the fuck dude? In what regard? Just like how the fuck is this even possible? Like the buildings? Yeah. Yeah, I look at buildings and I'm like way too tall, too tall, too heavy. Which like I didn't even think about like so first of all, it started with this. I had the realization where I was just like when they're making these skyscrapers, they need to account for the strength of the skyscraper. Like how much weight it is just by itself putting on itself. And then once it's filled with shit, so like desks, people, pencils, shit like that, right. That doesn't freak you out. Is it like how can they figure out how fucking, how many people are going to be in here? Is this the science question? No, no, no, no, that's. Oh, this is a different question. That was just, that's where it started. Oh, and I was fucking confused. And then I was like, yo, as we build more shit on Earth. Is the weight of the planet change? What the fuck is so funny? Does the weight of the planet change? Like let's imagine our planet is like a billion tons or something. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Hold on. There's a good answer to this. Go ahead. No, sorry, sorry. I'll control. But like, does the weight of our planet change or when we concentrate our weight in one place more than others, does it fucking throw shit off? You mean like if everyone moved to the northern hemisphere? Correct. If you put all six billion or whatever it is now, eight billion or whatever amount of billion people it is, all in one spot, I know one spot, but like if you had them all standing next to each other in a combined area, is the Earth going to be like, well, what's that? Well, I was just going to say that like how can the weight of the Earth change if you're using things from the Earth to make the building? I thought that too. Yeah. But what if there's materials that we are making ourselves? Which ones? We're not making steel, right? Are we? I mean like it's not like we're making it from thin air, like we're all the materials and resources that we're using are like, it's like ice is not going to make the water. Wait. Actually, actually. Okay. You're backing me up now. Giggle's McGee is no longer laughing me like I'm a fucking dumb fox. It's a bad question. But if you think about it, we plant trees and like fruit and that's, and that's, that's start small. Yeah, it's a bingo. And that gets weight. Bro, think about like, let's say, yeah, bro, bingo. Yeah. The whole Earth. Yeah, yeah. At the same time. I just want you to know, I'm not, I don't have an answer, I'm just working this through with you. Okay, cool. The whole Earth, every fucking apple orchard on the planet has a full blossom of bunch of apples at the same time. Right. That's a lot of apples, brother. Okay. Is that fucking shit up? Cause like apples don't like, they get made dude, like seemingly out of nothing. You didn't have a point and you're taking my point. But he is right. I mean, no, my point was there. I was in the point. Yeah, I mean, I, I think that like, um, I, I just think that the Earth is probably so heavy that like, it's minuscule, a ton of trees or something isn't going to like, I mean, bro, a lot of you, or, or let's, let's not even say, so like, I understand how like, if operation, concession and rain and all that should have. Yeah. I get that. But like, what if there is one year where it is particularly more wet and it adds like a lot more water than the next year, does that fuck shit up? Well, okay. So the rain, the rain that would come from like, we're not, there's not rain coming from space. So the rain is actually, I think, a slightly worse point because that's just water being recycled from. Yeah. It's here already. Yeah. But is it here? I know it's like, it's here, like water is here. I know it's not like an idiot, guys. No, no, no, no. No, this is good. It's actually a good question because it got, I'm thinking, yeah, because like, the water is, but, but it's in different form. If it's, if it's in its H2O, like non H2O form, if it's the hydrogen and the, the oxygen and then it combines. So like, do, does, if you were to weigh out hydrogen by itself is not water, I said, the hydrogen and the two oxygen, yeah, but we're talking about water. Listen, yeah, if you were to take the weight of those things, does the weight of those individual things add up to the weight of water, like, oh, water molecule, the same as the weight as those, the, the, the, the separate parts that I don't know. But regardless, those would exist on earth too. Yeah. It's a good question. But if they are heavier in one form than the other, isn't there weight being made? I, I don't, like, I think there are things that you can make heavier, but I, again, I just think that the weight that we're, like, a building, for instance, right, well, like, steel, I don't know if that's a good example, because I feel like you're just taking it and forming it. I get what you're saying, and I know I sound like an idiot, but no, no, no, no, no, stop, stop. I have been way dumber on this. Yeah, yeah. But, like, I understand the idea of, like, if you take, you know, molten, whatever, and turn it into steel, it's the same amount of weight, it's just elsewhere. Yes. But it, are there circumstances where, like, we can, what you're, you're also like, what about burning? Like, if you burn something, like, eventually the energy flows up and out of our atmosphere. If you burn, oh, like a tree, a tree, anything, well, like, it's regenerative, regenerative. Like, how much weight does the planet lose, I think, like, for, like, a wildfire? Is this a, is this the question, like, does the weight of the earth fluctuate? I know. I'm sure it fluctuates to a ministerial degree, but does it fluctuate because of human intervention to a point that it could make a difference? Oh, that I don't think so. I just think it's too heavy. Yeah, whatever number I would look up, it would just give me, like, point zero and then, like, like, like, big numbers. Yeah. I just don't think like buildings could possibly, like, the, the, think about the water, just the water on it. Yeah. That dude, like, that's so heavy that, like, anything else is not, you're not going to feel the weight of that. Even if you put a billion people, because I saw a thing that said, I believe it was my boy, NGT, NDT, he said Neil deGrasse Tyson got it. He said, like, if the earth were to stop spinning for a single second, it would be catastrophic. Because we're moving with the speed of the earth and it's like 800 miles per hour, whatever the fucking, whatever it is. So like, I'm thinking about it in that terms is like, are there things that as humans, we can do with our natural resources to affect the weight of the planet, the speed at which it revolves and rotates or anything? I don't know the answer, I imagine it's no. Just because of the sheer size of it. It's very big. I guess it wouldn't be like measurable or it's probably measurable, we can't feel it. But we're probably at all times actually making the earth lighter because of like the slippage like you were saying with, like, making ores into steel and forest fires and cutting down trees and making lumber, like, it's, there's probably a lot of slippage that way. But I don't think it would be. Not heavier. But lighter is that does not necessarily mean it's a good thing. What was the original question? It's a great point. Can we, like, are we, what was the question, the original question was like, when we make buildings, are we making the earth heavier? Oh, right. Yeah. Which, which also like, I mean, I don't know the answer, like, to me, it feels like it would. But also not an unbelievably stupid question because things in different states do have a different weight, don't they? Things in different states? Yeah. It's a state's of matter. Oh, oh. Gashes. Gashes. Yeah. Like, gashes liquid. Yeah. Yeah. So, like, in theory, if you have a hundred, like, there's a hundred tons, I'm using it in terms of weight. Well, yeah, that would be good. I know, I know, I know. Yeah. That's like the thing where it's just like, what weighs more, a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers? I'm going to be brave. The first time someone asked me that, got it wrong. Yeah, hold tight. I think every time I did it. It's brick dumbass. Yeah. Don't tell anyone I said that. Even though the answer is the same, bricks weigh more, you know what I mean? Well, there's just like an insane amount of things. Yeah, so like, it's bricks. Like, it's bricks. Yeah. But you get what I'm saying here, like, here's a question. Do you think there's enough birds? on earth to create a hundred tons of was it feathers a hundred tons of feathers I think there are enough birds yeah brother I mean geese geese alone bro go to any park and just look there's fucking 500 geese think about how many feathers you need to get a hundred tons yeah but you pluck them and then they come back that's true eventually we were and then broke turkeys turkeys got a lot turkeys got tons of how much do you think how many feathers like if you took all the feathers off a turkey how much is that way I imagine it's got to be like couple pounds no way two three pounds right is there any way to look that up I'm trying to I'm just I'm hoping that someone else had a 20 pound turkey if you were to defether it I imagine you'll lose like a pound pound and a half maybe if that's true then I easily a hundred tons okay so apparently there's there are 27 billion chickens on the planet right forget everything I said that's one bird that's one type of bird that's one type of bird and it's not even like a huge one that's a relatively small one a single chicken is about eight thousand feathers so 27 billion times eight thousand is how many feathers that's just a just a number that is a joke yeah yeah and then eight thousand feathers way about point twenty point two five pounds I think the math works out point to five so a quarter of a penny I haven't held a feather a while a court so I guess the average chicken is a quarter of a pound of feathers I guess but then you got to think of like what's an average chicken are we talking like American chickens that are like a mother fucker yeah we got big fuckers out here those are ones that are on like creatine yeah and like this is my meal replacement shake and that's my grain it's mixed in with breastmilk that's crazy I would say like planting a seed that's creating something from nothing I would say honestly I mean yeah and like a no he's right I mean but do you like what are you saying like an acorn or something right yeah can grow a five hundred pounds so instantly it takes time and and the time I imagine and I'm just using some deduction here not only do things die but like it doesn't happen instantly like in the time that an acorn gets to become an oak tree it probably soaks up enough water and like the the the earth around it kind of becomes one with the root system and stuff like that it's got a point the water but the wood wasn't there right but the wood is made out of this stuff that is like it's eating the soil and the nutrients in the soil so like it's a combination of if you had a cup of dirt remove the nutrients in that dirt to put it into the tree and I guess the weight kind of still we should have smoked I don't know yeah also trees are dying like there's trees that have fell in that time it's not like all the trees stay up yeah but just because they fought but but if they fall that the weight is still there it's not necessarily yeah but we we get where we burn it well we're we're we're chopping down trees every day yeah but where does that go the fucking to make this desk I don't know so it's still there the wow that's fucked up that you did that to that tree yeah it's crazy I should make this desk first of all you're in front of a desk as well you're his is one last day I don't think mine's wood I mean it does get confusing like when you think about it in terms of like a forest fire so like look at the forest fires that fucking ravage that just appears that's the best that's that's that's the one that confused me because think of the not only the like animal life but the just plant life that was absolutely devastated by those forest fires out in California wherever that energy escapes our atmosphere unless it stays in our atmosphere but I I thought I don't think the weight of whatever was burned still remains I think the answer here that we're we're getting at is that it fluctuates just not on a on a on a scale that would affect anything but what about the amount of people I really don't think so like if you put if you were somehow to fit all the people on the planet in a a hemisphere yeah let's let's not even just say our country like a hemisphere yeah would that fuck anything up I don't think they all jump be earth it you'll jump they all go if you think we can if we all stood around Mount Edna I mean because how much force does the average person give off bro this is a crazy also I just don't know if the I mean you give off a amount a certain amount of force when you jump and you land yeah so is the average amount of force that the average person gives off when they jump and land if everyone did it at the same time if everyone did it at the same time I would probably be catastrophic is that combined force enough to fuck something up with our I really it's hard to say that it was I don't think so eight billion people bro let's say the average person weighs but the with the earth bro it's so heavy let's say the average person weighs like a hundred pounds it wouldn't do anything it just like it's the earth do you know well I don't know if you're what do you mean you got no there are people that ask that same question it went viral like a while ago about if everyone was in one spot and jumped yeah they said no but it would cause a humanitarian disaster because there'd be eight billion people in one spot and they're right right well yeah I'm not saying that I'm just saying like in terms of like let's let's imagine that like no one is harming each other like there's no like you know purposeful damage just numbers wise someone's blowing their hamstring they're killing someone brother like probably like a couple hundred thousand people are blowing a hammock it's kind of crazy the downward force would shift the earth by less than half of the width of a single atom immediately bouncing right back that is half of the width and not a thing we can see with our eyes no that is correct that is it's not with a microscope probably I mean they can see atoms with microscopes right I'm saying like a cheap one we probably can see oh yeah sorry we're not gonna be able to fucking from fucking I'm saying you need the Hubble telescope to see the fucking thing and if you want a weight perspective all of humanity weighs the earth outweighs them by a factor of ten trillion so you know this is a big earth is a fat fucking earth let's go big big not what I'm saying it's so heavy that like you would never notice the difference I don't think there's enough skyscraper it's all right then you think since we're here and we're talking about space which fucks me up yeah pull up the planets like pictures of them which ones is sexy I don't need pictures to know that it's Neptune really oh I wasn't going Neptune's like mysterious and blue I wasn't going Neptune dude I was going like honestly like Mercury's got something oh my god you're a fucking whore why is that a horror yeah you're a horror let's see let's see let's see oh wait no what was that this is great I got can't fish by planets go to put you want to say what pull it out all right well it was like it's at sea it was like bro look at Neptune mad mysterious and horny yeah honestly you kind of got me there but I mean is all right do we like Jupiter I was gonna say I don't hate Jupiter because you got a mole and she's just like well it's up but also would it be like wait does Venus look like that would you question my sexuality if I said you're in this I know you're a Uranus I'm just said if I say Uranus then that's gonna get clipped immediately I mean no I mean I'm I mean I'm into Uranus bro Loki earth is the sexiest earth is pretty sad because she's got like she's got like a bunch going on she's like first of all she's got a ton in the in the in the Southern hemisphere if you know what I'm saying she's pulling it back sorry I mean I'm sorry you just got like a lot of like you know juice and the caboose as they say earth's got a fat ass look at it I just think it's like it's a sexy planet because it's like it's got some stuff it's got a lot of clouds you're kind of right about it's a sexy earth Neptune's got it a little like it's like yo it's like a little like it's got like an ombre thing going on yeah yeah and it's like blue and it's dark it's out there out there love Mars is like we know it but like we don't fucking have any idea about it Venus is kind of like the forgotten planet in my opinion yeah but Vina I don't dislike Venus like it's got like a like a like a I don't know what that is at all it's got like a like a spice to it like most overrated planet three two one Saturn yeah I was gonna say like we get it you have rings but like bro I mean they're cool as fuck doing don't get me wrong but like once I found out that the rings are not solid and it's just a bunch of rocks I'm like get just a fuck out of here I can slide on this thing what is the point if I can't go like this wait what are they is it like an optical illusion no I I will I don't know what are the fucking rings like to me it's like a like a rainbow you know saying we need to write these questions down for if and when we ever get to talk to the old grass Tyson can you look up what the fuck the rings are on Saturn turn down turn down oh I think it's like a dirt field actually I think it's debris that's just like going around and it doesn't Saturn have like fucking a bunch of moons chill out bitch a lot a lot of a lot of moot yeah that's like cheating we have one moon we have one and we're like we're monopoly pump we're monogamous with our yeah you guys are you guys are fucking people all over the place Saturn polyamorous planets also surrounded by dirt. Ew. You're like the stinkiest of the peanuts. Everyone hated that fucking dirty bastard. Clean up. Disgusting. It can vary from in size here. So like dust grains, ice crystals and some sand like boulders, but some of them are the size of houses, some chunks. Really? I mean, what size of a house? You know, we talk in like a, you know, big. I mean how do they got mansions out there? And some are tiny. Wait, hold on. How much acreage is these rings? What's the property tax? Yeah. I need to know. I need to know. Is he septic? Well, what are we doing here? Yeah, I used to think that Saturn was the coolest, but then when you grow up and you find out it's just a dirty rim. Saturn just got a dirty rim. I don't like how Jupiter's got like a Cindy Crawford thing going on. You know what I mean? Like it's got like the mole and it's just like, like if you were to say what kind of hair Jupiter has, it would have like half the hair going over one of its eyes and then it just has like a mole poking through. Well, the girl that I was in love with and Pre-K had a mole, so I was all about it. So like Jupiter. I gotta say, I am, I feel so disappointed in Mercury. This doesn't feel like an accurate picture because when I always thought about Mercury, I thought of like red. That looks like if you rip the seams off of a baseball. That's exactly, that's exactly like I have seen that picture in a portapoddy before. Like it's just a gray ball of dust. Yeah, I don't like that shit at all. You know what it's really fire? The sun. Well, no, it's funny other pictures of planets. I want to see, you know what? We feel like if the planets were like the green M&M. Put on planets with tints. Which planet got the biggest tints, dude? Oh, what about this one? Where they're numbered? This way, God, look, Mercury is like gray, dude. That's so disappointing, dude. That is really, I can't see that. I hate this. I can't see that. Oh, Earth is beautiful. Well, what's that Saturn? That looks like a. I think it's just the shadow. The shadow of. The shadow. Yeah, the shadow of the. Dude, it's super, super heated twin. Who? Venus, it says. Mercury is dead. So obsessed with going to Mars. Elon Musk is just like we have to. Why aren't we going to Venus? It's twice as hot. But it's our super heated. There it is. Oh, hot. Extremely hot day, all right. I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it. King of the planets, you know why they called it King of the planets. It's the biggest one. I also believe because. If I'm not mistaken, Jupiter was like. They're named after the like Roman deities. So like Venus, Mars. Well, Jupiter, Jupiter, Saturn. Jupiter also is misogynistic. I mean, that's where girls go to get stupider. No, boys go to Jupiter to get my stupider. Oh, so I'm not. There you go. There you go. I tried to talk to the other person. Girls go to. Where do girls go? I. Girls go to Neptune, Mars? Well, if they say girls are from Mars, men are from Mars. Or women are from. Men are from planets. Oh, fuck. What is wrong with you? Yeah, this kid's the fucking worst. The jumpiest fucking fucking the world. Sorry. That scared the hell out of me. That was broken. That was broken my neck. He's gonna have whiplash. It's insane. That was terrifying. Girls go to Jupiter. No, boys go to Jupiter. Get more super. Girls go to college to get more knowledge. That's college. Not a planet. But that's what this thing is. No, it's. If men are from Mars, women are from Venus? No, no, no. It's girls go to. No, I think it's Venus because it's like in retrograde or whatever. Or is that Mercury? No, Mercury is in retrograde. Girls go to. Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider. Girls go to. I think it's college to get more knowledge. No. That doesn't make sense. It's college to get more knowledge. Girls go to Mars to get more candy bars. Growth up, dude. No one says that. Hey, girls, go back to Mars. Get your snickers. Get out of here, you geek. I don't think that's a one that anyone says. There's gotta be other ones. Girls come to Mars, become rock stars. Okay, this is insane. This is not it. Sweet. The one that I was familiar with is girls go to college to get more knowledge and boys go to Jupiter. Get more stupider. Knowledge, stupider. And the irony that more stupider, which I think. Well, you know, the irony. Yeah, honestly, look at Uranus. Ice giant? You're just like, whoa. It is sexy. It's a sexy color. It's kind of like, it's got a nice color, you know, it's not awful. Neptune though, I'm freaking horny. Well, and go, the disrespect to Pluto. I mean, I understand just unbelievable amount of distance. Just an insane getting out from the team for all these years, by the way. And like, after Matt, like they gave them a Jersey number and like they were on the fucking starting like five and then they just immediately just like, you know what, honestly, fuck you. Yeah, it's kind of foul, dude. Do we have any other, are there like anthropomorphic pictures of them? Do you want me to like find sexy pictures of the planets? I didn't, well, see, now I didn't say all that. Yeah, just just put in a if planets were. Hold up. This is probably not if the planets. What the hell is that purple? This isn't right. This is getting this is getting right. This is it. Josh, Josh, Josh, don't put this on. This is muscular anime, like, if the planets were, we're hot. Well, I don't know if that's. You put the planets as women and we're getting nothing. I'm trying. There's this one. Yeah, I don't think we're gonna find it. They're gonna end up on a site that we shouldn't be on. There's this one game where you go around a house and you like make appliances turn into like people. Yeah, and then you could date them. Yeah, dude, we got to have a chat or real human person. That'd be great too. You ever hear about a. You ever feel the warmth of the actual one? Let's hear it? No, we can't. We can't hear. We can't hear. I'm glad we had a science talk because I often had these like science thoughts and I need help with them sometimes. I think that was a very crazy way to say it. I'll be honest with you. Really? It's on my way here thinking about Greg. Greg fucking scared the shit out of me. I almost broke my own neck because of your reaction. Bro, all I see is just fucking him just like pure an eye, a single eye across it. It scared the fuck out of me. You've never seen those like creepy pasta videos and shit where that happens? I miss that whole creepy pasta. He would like some. Well, we have some sponsors for today. Let's get to them right here. The first one being Squarespace. Squarespace, this is a website where you're going to build your website. It's your first impression of people. If you have any retail, if you have a retail store or you're doing content or anything like that, you're going to need a professional looking website. If people go to your website and it doesn't look great, they're going to lose some trust there. They're going to go out and know how real this is or whatever. So, you're going to need a good website and Squarespace is going to help you build that and they have a bunch of different templates that make it very easy. You don't have to be a coder or know anything about building websites to really have a professional looking one. I mean, I can tell you as someone who knows nothing about coding that I have built multiple websites using this platform and they make it very easy. They also have a lot of tools that are going to help you optimize your traffic. Make sure that you know where all these people are coming from and they'll help you track how many people are live on your sites and all these other things. So, it's a one-stop shop if you're building a website and you can head to squarespace.com/basement to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using that code basement. Again, that is squarespace.com/basement to save 10% off of your first purchase of a website or a domain with that code basement. We also have BetterHelp. This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp, which is online therapy. So, if you'd like to talk to a therapist, you can do so with BetterHelp in just under 48 hours. They get you hooked up and talk into a therapist. You could also, they make it very easy to jump from therapist to therapist. You have to find the right fit for you. That is very important. You have to have a therapist that you kind of vibe with and you can build some trust with. And I've been in therapy for years and I think that it's great for everyone. So, I definitely think that people, you know, should be in it. I think it's good for anyone, even if you don't feel like, you know, I feel like people have this idea that it's just for people who are going through traumatic times or are just really struggling. It doesn't have to be that at all. I mean, it definitely is helpful for things like that. But for anybody that just feels like they want some more mental clarity, I think that, you know, this is great. You can sign up and save 10% at BetterHelp.com/basementyard. It's spelled B-E-T-T-E-R-H-E-L-P dot com/basement yard. To save that 10% yeah. So go check it out. BetterHelp.com/basementyard. And, you know what? I got even more stuff for you.

Maybe some of them are still available. Maybe you want to do a trip. I don't know what your life. I'm not going to tell you how to live it. I am going to tell you the shows are going to be fun though. And while you're doing it, if you are coming to any of these shows, go to thebasementyard.com/submit. Okay. Just like how aunt loves to do when the cameras go off and Joe says, take your top off. I'm sorry. What was that? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The order of thebasementyard.com/submit how we did, when we did our first series of shows, we did the cards where we had people submit stories and they were crazy and we talked about them and they were outlandish and ridiculous and hysterical and they made some of the best memories at these shows. We're doing something similar, but it's for pictures. So they're going to kind of be like out of context pictures. So if you go to thebasementyard.com/submit, you let us know what show you're going to be coming to. You submit your picture from your camera roll. You can add some context or you can. It's really whatever you want to do and maybe we'll pick it. We'll talk to you about you with you. It doesn't matter. We're really excited. It's going to be a ton of fun. So go check it out at thebasementyard.com/submit. And I know what you're thinking. Frank, can you shut the hell up already? Not quite yet. I got one more thing to plug. New merch baby. That's right. There is new merch at SandingOutofStudios.com. Take a look at this picture right here and I'm imagining that Josh is putting up a picture next to me and it's a beautiful new merch. The boys got into the studio and they modeled it and they took pictures and they videos and they were playing high five. There's an x-rated version of those somewhere. I don't know where, but I imagine. Go to SandingOutofStudios.com. Take a look at the new merch and you're going to love it. It's there's stuff for everybody. There's bags, there's hats, there's sweatshirts, zip-ups, there's so much. So thank you so much. patreon.com/thebasementyard.com and sandingoutofstudios.com for the new merch. Check it out. Back to you. Back to you. I, that was, I, that was too much talking for me. I don't know. That was a little too much. It was a little difficult. That's all right. We talked about a lot of stuff. I'm glad we're having a science based episode. I feel like we haven't had one of those in a while. You got any other science questions? I mean those are some pretty pressing questions that I had, you know, like the, the, the fucking universe scares the shit out of me. Just as an ever expanding, as an ever expanding and like the, in theory. We're so small. So small. Do you wish you were bigger? No. I'm good with being a speck. I'm fine with the size at which I am. Like in the grand scheme. In the grand scheme. Just a speck. Yeah. I mean, or maybe we're not. Well, I know. I think it's like world document. Are you sure? Yeah. Are you like positive? Yeah. What if there's no other intelligent life in the cosmos? And our speck gets bigger. I would find that insane to believe. I agree. Yeah. But there is technically a chance. What? What counts? Yeah, but what does that mean? Like they, they're, like, they're not, like, they're building civilization. Oh, like that. Okay. Well, I guess. Yeah. Like it doesn't need to be like human animals. It could be animals. Yeah. All right. Okay. Okay. Like things that have their own language. And they like have homes that they build. Oh. Oh. All right. Yeah. Like how birds do that? I feel like it'd be. Yeah. You know, it would be cool. The like food from those planets. If they were just like we're like, we don't know. Well, you don't know. How do you know? Maybe probably not, but maybe hopefully maybe. I mean, we could test it at this point and be like, oh, maybe it's like a new thing that we don't know. What the hell is that? Yeah. It's just like, we give them a watermelon and they're like, we can't even figure out how we would be able to eat this fucking monstrosity. I think it would be the other way around. I'm saying like them with us and us with them. Yeah. Like they put something down that looks like berries, but they're like floating and like triangular. Don't you? Don't you think that if there is other intelligent life out there that they're just way beyond where we are? Like I don't think there's intelligent life that like we're ahead of. Maybe there is. I know. Because in theory, if there was intelligent life that is of ahead of us, then at a certain point, it's got to be behind. Someone has to be behind. Unless we're in the last. That would suck. But we got a pretty planet. Yeah, but like that only goes so far. If space travel was like like the safest, like better than anything, never an accident, ever. No. And you could go to a different like a galaxy. No. You know why? Because I have lived 34 years on this planet not understanding, like not having to grasp that reality. Like if I was born into a world where like that was already a thing that it's be like, yeah, of course. But like in my current, like I am an earthly being, I'm cool never having to see another planet ever. Yeah, ever. It would be hard to imagine that it's like 100% guarantee nothing will happen. Like you're good. But it's not, it's not even possible. I mean, I mean, maybe it is. I know how they'd get Joe. If they were like on Mars, the Martians have figured out like, you know, how to go faster in a car smaller than an F1 car. And what would get you there? Nothing because you're not open minded. No, I'm just scared. I'm just scared. I don't want to go. Wait, wait, you're scared of new things. I'm scared of I'm scared of not being on a human planet. Are you kidding me? No, you're gonna tell me you don't think looking at Earth would be like the most incredible thing ever. Didn't, um, one of the the astronauts had said that like he had like a legit like went to the moon, saw the Earth and came back and it fucked with him mentally because it was just like every, every human existence, every problem is all right there. It's all right there. And it's like, it's just this little thing. I feel like if I was able to look at Earth, I wouldn't even like really be able to conceptualize what I'm even looking at. I would get to screen that. I would like, I'd be like, if I squint real hard, I could see someone. I know. Yeah, exactly. Like, oh, that's New York City. I think it would be jarring, not just to see Earth, but to see it floating in space, that would be weird. It would fuck me up. It's suspended. So that, that, but then also behind, like, this is what would fuck me up. And there's just nothing but everything. It just goes. It just, it just goes. Like, and that would be the part that I'd be like, I can't look at this. It's like, let me ask you a question. Oh, fuck, do you think that like there is an end of the universe? I think that they have figured out that there technically is, but it is ever expanding. So things can't expand if there is an end. But what does that even mean? So I can get to the end of it. And there's just like more forming. I guess. You have to wait for it to render in. Yeah, exactly. It's like playing, it's like playing, you know, like a 90s video game where like you need like the buildings to like look like buildings as you get closer to that. Yeah, so technically they know that the entire all of it together has a shape. It's like Minecraft. It's like Minecraft. So then if it has a shape, there's like parameters. Yeah, but it keeps expanding, but it does have like, so like say it's like, it's like this, but it's just getting like this. Yeah, it's still a shape. It's just, right. It's keeping its shape. Like if we were to do this and then go, but like, we're fucked. I don't, and I know that we don't know the answer, but like, doesn't it stand to reason that there is something outside of that? Yeah, we don't know yet. I mean, but it's stood to reason that there was nothing before it. So if there was nothing before it, and then it is becoming something, is what is the definition of nothing if it's nothing? Something. No, nothing is not something. It's nothing. No, nothing is something. Nothing is the lack of something, the lack of something. No. Yes. Yes. Close your eyes. What's that? That's not nothing. That's something. I can't, I could, what does nothing look like? Nothing is a, it's abstract. It is not physical. Because it's not like you can't like, nothing, you can't have something that is nothing. Nothing is the absence of something. But even that is something. No, it is not. nothing what it is is nothing I guess in an abstract sense but on a physical material level it is nothing nothing is not something it's nothing there is nothing which makes it nothing people are gonna be pissed at this like should we go should we people are gonna be open up something but isn't that true though yeah I mean it's too big for me but the only reason the only reason nothing because some it becomes something is if there is an observable thing sound like something tactile something you like something that are our earthly senses can yeah figure out if there is nothing that can do any of those things is it there it's nothing it's easier to believe and I get it that like there is nothing out there like it's just so much easier no I think it's easier but I think that we've proven that that's not I know I think we've proven enough of like we don't know which is scarier than proving either way you know what I mean is yeah it would be kind of crazy if like we really got good at space travel I mean keep visiting planets and there really is nothing else and it's just us we're scary well someone said I forgot who coined it forgive me my my caps off to them like either we are alone in the universe or we are not both answers are equally as terrifying and it's fucking true dude no that equally I think it would be cool to be the only ones oh I think it's way scary to be the only one what do I care I think it's also scared but like you're you're not thinking that it's scary to not be alone because then you're like cool we can learn from other civilization other people thinking like oh they can fuck us up yeah I think yeah don't you think that if like there's a reasonable response like possibility that if an alien did show up and they land and we start talking and they can't communicate we're both like what is this about you know it's like oh yeah it's like oh like they're gonna be like brothers it's not yeah yeah yeah I mean that's what it would be so unless they've like done this before well I think I saw the thing that makes me believe that there probably is is just like a numbers based like the the astronomical like odds that we are the only like yeah no the only is just it just doesn't make it's gotta be other ships flying around it's like it's like it just doesn't make it's like it physically from a numbers standpoint isn't possible if you're talking about physically from a number standpoint when you piggyback off that off of like your like your dad and mom sperm and egg meeting and you being made it's like when you piggyback the odds of the earth happening life on it and then you being here it's a number that doesn't exist oh it exists it's just an incomprehensible to it's all like we gave it a stupid silly name like a schmorky you know like where like the number it's like measurable it's like so many zeros that it's like a billion zeros or some shit like that yeah I can't imagine and then that's that's what I was going to say like if if earth is the only place that hasn't like intelligent life form then the odds of being born on that planet within an ever-expanding universe and being the sperm that met that egg and like your existence is like the rarest possible it is and not only is your existence the rarest but every decision that you have made to make you the version of yourself that you are is so like it's unbelievably special it's crazy and that's why what you know like when people are just like you are special because of this it's like yeah dude just like looking at it from a numbers perspective like that yeah it's crazy it's gonna fucking it and again I'll tell you this and I know I always do this it gets crazier once you have kids because I look at my my three children and I'm just like the odds how is it that I've the odds that you are you and I am me to you and you are like fucking it imagine trying to explain that to your daughter like I am the you of me you are of mine you are of mine of the universe and like the fact that we have gotten to you and me in the same time is crazy crazy gonna crack something open I need to I'll be honest with you if I ever need to drink on this right now because this fucks with me yeah doesn't it um yeah it's like hard to comprehend but I don't it doesn't it's not really like scary if anything it makes me feel like happier in my existence of like it's so rare that you'd be able to do this yes you know what I mean that's also like I doesn't scare me it's just like it's so difficult to wrap my Terran mine around Terran yeah what's that mean Terra that's like the name like the I don't know if it's Latin or what but that's like the name of her Terra oh that's also what they call us and gardens of the galaxy yeah so what how about that how about so what you got an issue with it no no I don't my Terra mind yeah what a crazy shout out to a plan what a crazy thing it's it's way easier just to go like oh yeah and then you crumple that up and you just toss it somewhere else all right I still would like to follow all the planets yeah who would have the most annoying people from that planet I mean I think Saturn oh I wasn't even going to say Saturn I think just like you know isn't Jupiter the biggest I feel like it would be Jupiter because there's like we're the biggest dude yeah but Saturn has like Saturn is like bougie you think I think so the ring all those moons and the rings and like Jupiter have the most moons I don't know probably who's got all those moons I don't know they all do they all got a lot of moons they got like seven I only got one this is bullshit do we have one I hope we don't have more now we got one oh you're gonna upset to the moon the moon no I'm on I'd be embarrassed my lack of moon knowledge to my understanding we have moon and I'm fine with that we can see this shit like it's always better to have just one that yeah because then like oh yeah name all your moons you know I don't need that it's just way too many you know just have one beautiful moon that you love it loves you and things are going well yeah you know keep a small circle of moons you feel differently don't you know it makes sense what I'm thinking about now is like if we're still in spaces like okay the moon was created because a big asteroid hit the earth what's up the moon was created because a big asteroid hit the earth a chunk went up there the moon boom that's what happened what I I don't know what do you what do you wait what do you think the moon is it's like an asteroid hit the earth and a chunk of the earth went up and that would made that's what made the moon is that's what you're saying so this is the topic of contention here on the episode you think that is that not what it is I don't I don't know I I thought it was a grand canyon what like the he's like the asteroid hit the earth and the grand canyon the the what we know is the grand canyon went into the air and it's now our moon that was years ago by the way I don't currently think that I'm just like well well I mean that's not very different than what I said no it's not and that's why I'm again like what part of the earth do you think that oh I don't know but wouldn't we see a giant hole the size of the moon I think it's a collection of sediment where the moon come from I think I don't know I think it's a collection of sediment guys guys guys I don't think it's just like I think that it's like a space rock that entered orbit and it eventually just spins around our ship and it became like sphere like a perfect sphere yeah I mean I don't even know if it is yeah I don't know about that where are my moon truthers out there wait I mean I when you said it was the grand canyon you basically are saying that well that was years ago that I made such a dumb how to dumb opinion like that I'm not I'm now I gotta I'm not you're gonna look it up because you don't trust his looking up skills well it's it's there's a lot of theories I didn't realize it was theories oh see a lot of people would say it's fake by the way made it so I think like what you're thinking of because this is what it says that like something hit earth yeah but that thing part of that not like a piece of earth so it's like it's space rock that's weird that that could just happen a proto planet called fear yeah I saw this smashed into into the early earth in a massive impact and then wish happened right that sound I imagine you know it's even crazier forget about what it actually is the fact that we could say like I think it's this that fucking crazy yeah I don't know scientists are just like you know how do you apply for a job to be like you need to help us figure out what the fuck that thing is up there you know what I mean yeah help us figure out the fucking moon like where you're just like think of stuff you're like by the way fuck is that by the way hey what are you doing for work today patch figuring out the moon have your kids ever actually what the moon is I don't think so the only person like whenever they see the moon they get very excited yeah but I don't think they've ever realized it's so much fun to watch it's so much fun to - I'm like, what is that? - I'll be very honest with you. - I'm sure what you would say. - I don't know what I'm gonna say. - It's a, well it's not a planet. - It's like a collection of sediment. - Have they actually sediment to your daughter, real areas? What, have they ever asked like space questions? - Miles, you just asked them. Miles would ask crazy shit, and I wouldn't even be able to-- - He'd be like, what is space? - There was one time where Becca was on a car ride with him, and he was just quiet, and he goes, where is DNA? - Brother. - Becca was just like, it's time to go to school. You know what I mean, like, how do you answer that? - Where, is it somewhere? - I believe it's everywhere. You know? - I mean, but I'm saying like, is there a spot where it is? It's like, oh, it's in the bone, marrow. - There is an answer. - Spinal fluid? - Sure. - Or is it in your blood? It's got a bit in your blood. - I imagine it's in your blood. - Yeah. - It's in parts of your hair, so it's in the follicle, but it's not in my-- - Oh, so it's your whole body. - But not, because it's not, if you were to cut a piece of my hair off, there's no DNA in there. - Wait, isn't there? - I think in the follicle, there's DNA. So like, you ever pull a piece of hair out, and you see a little white ball in the end of it? That's the DNA in there. But why would they wait? - It's, it's-- - No, no, no, don't give us an answer. - Okay. - Is it somewhere though? - Yeah, of course, it's somewhere, dummy. - No, no, I mean, like a specific one place, it's like in your spine, and then it goes out to everything else. - Well, I just, this is my question. - Imagine your DNA, and your job is to like, go into semen, it's like, hey, did you get, hey, DNA, did you get a placement? (laughing) Where is it? - What is it called, would like succumb, and then nuts? - Yeah, like what is it called? - What is it called? - You know, like people go out for missions? - Not missions, but like, where they're stationed. - Oh, okay. - No, I got my station, where are you? - Oh, yeah, I got tits. - I got tits. - And you're like, yo, I'm in the nuts. I'm in the semen, this sucks. - Oh, dude, that sucks. - I'm like-- - It's like, you're not gonna last long in there, brother. - Is there not DNA, I mean, DNA is in the blood. But is there, I mean, isn't it? - I think that deer is DNA. - Is it more specific than blood? - Do you want to start, me start giving hints? - Yeah, yeah, so that's wrong. (laughing) - Okay, so the answer is yes. - It's in the blood. - Well, well, the answer is yes. - It's in everything. - It's like harder. - The answer is also yes. - The answer is-- - So, like, if I had dandruff, deads, DNA. Ooh. - That's a good question, because it is dead skin. - Dead skin, is it dead? - DNA is found inside almost every cell in the human body. - Ah, it's everything. - It's everything. - So it's in, I mean, you are getting stationed. - So, yes. - So some people end up in the finger and the other in your ass. - Like, yo, DNA, congrats, brother. Where are you going? - It's like, I'm going into human fecal matter. - Yeah, I am literally in the ass of the skin. - What about you? And it's like, I'm in the ear, you know? - That's whack too. - I guess skin, skin's a good one. That's like the best, that's like, when people get stationed in the skin, they're like, really. - Yeah, now that we can, now, blessed with this new information that DNA is absolutely everywhere, every part of the cell, how does anyone get away with it, crime? How is that possible? - Yeah, that's a great question. - That's insane. - Because, I mean, one of the, I forgot the name of it, but there's like a rule of contact tracing is like everything. Like, anytime you commit a crime or go somewhere, you leave a part of yourself behind. - Physically and emotionally. - I'm so aware everywhere, everywhere. - We're everywhere, baby. We do have some more sponsors to get to here. We have sponsor on this episode. - Yeah, I don't know what's going on here. But we do have, we have skims, skims makes underwear. There's underwear for women, underwear for men. I think I'm actually wearing a pair of skims underwear at the moment, but sent us a little care package. They're very comfortable box of briefs. They are like stretch box of briefs and they're very breathable, not too tight around your waist. And they're like luxurious, you know, they don't rip. They don't fall apart or anything.

Like I said, the shredded pork, which I have is unbelievable. So go check them out and enjoy that as well. - Why are there we're doing this such a big science episode? - So much size. - It's been a while. It's been a while since I've talked about something. - To be fair, these are science questions that we're not going to get in our daily. Like we're not going to get answers in our daily life. We need to seek these things out. - Yeah, you need to watch the documentary, I watch on mushrooms at all. - Becca watched it, and she was like blown away. It's crazy. - You're like, oh my God, our entire-- - Fantastic fun guy, right? - Yeah, something fun. - Or a fun G, as they say it sometimes. - Do they? - No, care. - The guy in it, when you see him, you're like, yeah. - That's a mushroom guy? - Yeah. - He's got like a hat, you're like, what is that? - I've always enjoyed mushrooms. There's a place that we went to a farmer's market once, and they do their own mushrooms, and they do pre-package, and it's like, you get lion's mane, you get fucking quarter saps, which I was like, uh-oh. - Yeah, chill out with those. - I was like, uh-oh, you know, a bunch of shit like that. But mushrooms are fucking crazy, because guess what? You become one eventually, right? In some capacity, like our don't-- - Wasn't there a thing that was like, we share DNA with mushrooms? I just found out where my DNA was. I thought I saw something that was like, we share DNA with mushrooms, and then like, we also share DNA with bananas. - I'll try. - I don't know. - Do we share DNA with bananas? - Yeah, I don't know. - Do, don't put wheat, put humans. - Right. - Well. - You got to specify, because, you know. Bananas share roughly 50 to 60% of a gene level similarity with humans. What's that about? - Dr. Mike is screaming at his screen right now. - I don't even know what that means. - We're part of the, yeah, I don't care either. I just heard 50 to 60%, and I was like, we're 50% banana. - Yeah. (laughing) - Oh my God, I'm 50% banana. That's how misinformation starts. - What about, it's because of like, the protein and DNA makeup. It's more like the model. - So like, what makes-- - I can't do this. It's like, I would need to go, I would need to be more in depth, and I don't feel like it would help anything. - Yeah, I think it would just throw away. - Do you remember what DNA stands for? - Yeah. - No. - Believe it's like, dino, rubio nucleic acid or something like that, or dino, new, rubio nucleic acid? - Dino. - Am I right? - No, that's for dinosaurs. You want to try it? It's D-O. - D-O, sorry. - Okay, D-O, rubio nucleic acid. - I'll put it up, you guys try to read it. - Oh, it's that bad? - No, but let's-- - DNA stands for, well that's not what you-- - Well, you're not off. - Yeah, deoxyneos-- - Is that an R? Deoxyribon nucleic acid? - No, I can't read that. - Yeah. - If you need a zoom in and a hand, Compudo. - That is. - And hands, computer and hands. - Deoxyribonucleic acid. - Up. - Yeah, that was great. - I crushed that. - Yeah, the fears that it is. - Crush that. - You messed up on the acid a little bit. - It's a long molecule in your cells. I don't even know what that means. I will say the shape of DNA, fire. - Dude, love that. - Do you remember when we would like learn like the body parts of a cell? - Like the mitochondria? - Don't shit, look, that shit looked delicious. - Well, mitochondria? - Yeah, you don't remember? It would be like, it was like that cross section. No, no, no, no, no. DNA, we get it. We've seen Jurassic Park. - Oh, you wanted to do the cell? - Look up like the anatomy of a cell. Hell yeah, you're gonna tell me, you saw this and you were just like, yeah, that doesn't look amazing. - Oh, yeah, it looks like a, like a wonder ball. - Like, yeah, it looks like a jaw breaker. Brother, get off of Wal-Mart.com. - What? (laughing) - Who the shop's at Wal-Mart? (laughing) - I was trying to find a pretty picture for you. - What was that? - I don't know, oh there it is. What are they selling? - All this is in there. - Yeah, mine. - Look at the mitochondria. - So sick. - Cytoplasm. What was the powerhouse of the cell again? - The mitochondria. - It was the mitochondria. - Yeah. Cytoplasm, I don't know what that is, but that shit is fire too. - Yo, a nuclear pore. - A Golgi apparatus? - Golgi, I think it is. - Well. - I think it's Golgi. - Paroxam. Dude, that's everywhere in all of our things. - Ribosomes, isn't that like in cereal? - Riboflaven or whatever. - Riboflaver. - Riboflaven? - Yeah, people are screaming about that. - The nuclear envelope? - Syllium. - We got one of those out here. - That one I've heard of. - Syllium, lysosome. - That's a good one too. - The nucleus. - This looks good, dude. - Alright, I'd bite into this. - Like if they made, that looks like a pickleball. - What if, Dr. Mike, if you're watching and listening, this is for you for free, by the way. We can get in on this. He'll give us a cut of the royalties. And what if you make like science cereal? He's, like, I feel like this is a different science than what he, he's a fucking family doctor. He doesn't deal with cells all day. It's funny. But like, what if they started making like, 'cause you remember when they made like the plushies that were STDs? - What? - You never seen those? - No. - Like they may have a plushie that was like, they made a plushie in the media. - This is chlamydia. - And what do they look like? - They have like little smiley faces and shit on them. And they were like, people? - No, they were like little like germs. And they were used for like teaching purposes. But what if they did that, but for like cereal? - Made, wait, what are you talking about? Made what? Dolls for cereal? - No, no, like cereal, but of the powerhouse of the cells. So they're called like celios. The, we can work on the name, that's not the part. So you're saying like each one is like a big ball that's filled with a bunch of shit. - Yeah, like the bowl is the cell. And then like the cereal itself is like, oh there, there goes the ribosome. Yeah, you don't remember these? - These are the STD plushies? - Yeah. - All right, who's who? - It's a good question I'm trying to find. - Tainted love, what's the name? - Tainted love? - Oh, here we go, okay. So, herpes, syphilis, chlamydia. Oh, I would have thought the green one was gonorrhea. Got me there. - So they would use these for like educational purposes. Yeah, yeah, they'd be like. - So this little cutie doesn't look so cute once you got it on your balls. - Well, what is this help? Like what did I, I'm not going to allow. - I think that it's probably to, you know, make people feel better about STDs. The clap, that's crazy. What is the pox? - I think that's, we just saw that. That was syphilis, yeah. - I've never heard of the pop. - Yeah, I've never heard of that either to be honest with you. - Herpes looks cool. Like a little, like an egg or something, like an egg star. - I can't read that again. - Yeah, it's too small. - No, it's, I was just seeing it. - I think this is too, what's it called? I was gonna say decriminalized, but that's not what I meant. - No, that ain't it. - To make it more like socially acceptable, like these are STDs, it's fine. Everything's okay. - They also made them for like, this is what the, you know, like the common cold looks like and stuff like that, which, I guess that makes a little bit more sense. - I do like looking at that type of shit. - Oh, germs. - Shit under microscopes is so far to me. - Until last time you looked through a microscope. - Or a telescope. - A telescope? It's been a long time. - Been a minute? - I mean, I definitely have looked through a telescope more recently than I have looked through a microscope. - Microscopes are crazy because you're just like, that's fucking everywhere. - Yeah, like it's, this shit is moving. - Like here, there's like, oh, there's a ton of shit. - And like, if you had the ability to like, see it as the germs like crawling and shit like that, you, Mr. Creepy Crawley guy, you don't like it. You wouldn't be able to touch anything ever again. - Am I killing things by doing this? - Ooh, I would like to think so. Why? Wishful thinking. - You just wanna be able to kill? - Well, because like, if I go like that, like the bad ones are away and it leaves like a clean spot, I know it's not how it works, but I wish. You know? - Can we kill, I think my head hurts. - Can we kill cells? - Yeah, of course, there's dead cells. - But like, can I, am I killing them? (knocking) - Is he a murderer? - Am I a murderer? - Is he a criminal like your dad? - What do I look up? (laughing) - It's impossible. - I don't know, just kill the cells. - Can you, if I slap a surface, does it kill cells? - Yes, I like that, I like that one right there. There's no way anyone has ever tied that into it. - I think you might Google something for the first time ever. - Oh, it doesn't, we're safe. They've got tough walls. - Why slapping fails to kill cells? Oh, I know what I said, slapping walls. - You ever, like, you ever try to crush an ant? Sometimes, even when you step on it, it doesn't really work as they're too tiny? - That's a great point. They get in the crevices of our hand, like, they could probably find their way within the ridges of our hand. - They're in your finger press now. If anything, I've just completely opened myself up to an attack, a, you know, biochemical attack. - Oh, when you really think about it, you're just crawling with things. - Things are just all over us. - There are TikTok accounts that, like, just show you hyper close-up images of shit and they fucking ruin my face. - I actually like that. What I don't like is the heat map shit. I can't. - The heat map? - It's like, they show when you, like, flush a toilet. It's like, it looks like a fucking box. - Yeah, it gets all over your toothbrush. Oh my, guys, I don't. - Are you ever-- - I was gonna say, would you ever just take a black light and go into your bathroom and, like, shut the lights and see what it looks like? - I mean, we have a lovely cleaner that helps do a deep cleaning. - Yes, and I'm sure they do a good job. - But I'm sure there's some spots that look like people are getting-- - But let's say, all right, how often does your cleaner come? - Probably, like, wants every two or three weeks. - Okay. - Whatever is the middle time where it's like, they have not been there the longest. - The day before they come. - Sure. - This looks probably looks like a emergency. - Go in there and just, like, maybe do that. - And see what happens. - See what happens. - I'll just do my whole apartment, just see, like, yo, what's going on. - Well, we don't need to do all that. We were just, you know, the up to, what about you? 'Cause you're just moving to a new house. If you do that like in your basement, you're like, yo, it's like a big spot right here. - Oh, I'm afraid of that. - It was like, yo, there was a-- - We got the house cleaned before we moved in, and I was like-- - Can't clean blood. - Yes, you can. - Yeah, you can. (laughing) - You can't clean your brother. You absolutely can't clean. - But they did. - Or what if like, it was like a random spot on the walls, or the ceiling, then you're like, yo, what's that? - It's just like a body, just like that, or something like that. I mean, I'm called-- - Or there's a, there's a, it's written. - And it's a secret stop, please stop. It's like, you found it, now get out. - No, yeah, yo, I would leave-- - Or you hold it up, and it's just like a drawing of two eyes. - No, that wouldn't fuck me up as much, or like, if I held it up, and there was just like a map, a map of like the house and like an X over one room. - Truthfully, like be as honest as possible. If you took a black light into your basement or whatever, and there was a message written on the wall, and it said, get out. - What would you do? - You're not gonna sell your house. - I'm letting you know right now, I am saying nothing, but I am fully manipulating Becca and to get someone in there to pray over the house or some shit. - Oh, you would go right to a spirit. - I mean, like, I would just be like, this is out of my league, I could do it, like you would get an exorcist. - I just feel like that would be like the first place to go. I mean, it depends, like, truly, truly, truly though. You're joking aside, I would probably call the cops. - And say what? - I would just be like, listen, this is what I found. I don't know what this was written in. - Yeah. - Send someone down here to test this shit, because like, who knows what cold case that could possibly solve? - Would you text the old owners? I'd be like, yeah, did you guys put a message on the wall? - No, no, no, no, no. - Because then if they find it, then they're like, you have found it, the game is on. Tick-tock. And I'm like, no! - Do you take the wall down? Like, what do you do? - Yeah. I mean, I'll be honest with you. - Or, what if this, it's an arrow? - Stop trying to fucking scare me, Joey, please. - This isn't gonna happen, but if there's an arrow to a certain spot in the wall, and it's like, would you like be like, "Yeah, we gotta open the wall." - Well, I mean, I'll be honest with you, we are currently in the process of getting our basement redone. - Oh, baby. - So like, I kind of will hope to only remember what you're telling me to do after it's already done. It's gonna be like, oops! - Yeah, oh, no, I don't have no idea what we're talking about, actually what happened, but if you paint over it, 'cause like we painted like our room and stuff like that, and we'll it go away. - Really depends what they used. - A late text-based paint. Well, if it's a demon, it doesn't matter. - Oh yeah, they're gonna find their way. - They're writing messages. - God. - But if I'm a demon, I'm not writing a message that you can't find. - Yeah, it's going on the bathroom mirror. - Yeah. - Black lights are like out. - Yeah, who the hell still has a black light? - Yeah. - That's like, any time I hear in the news that like someone got in trouble for a laser pointer, I was like, it's 2026. - Yeah. - Who the hell still has one? - It's like dying in a lava lamp accident. - Exactly. - What are we doing? - It's like, what year is it over there? - You died by Pog. - I, you know, like, when this will happen? - It's died by Pog. I, me and Nicole are going on like a road trip in the winter and we're going to Salem and not the time to go, but I'll go there in Halloween. - That's when we're going. Oh, you said the winter Did I say that? Yes. Oh, I just meant like a rat. Yeah, it was like interesting. I'm okay, okay But they have like a bunch of like ghost tours and shit There are places in Jersey that have that she's super into it And I'm just like brother bring one back with you like I'm gonna have to do it But the entire time I'm just gonna be thinking about that. I think you should leave skips. Yeah, I like true I know they must get that all the time. I imagine they do Fuckers blasts out of the wall. She's trying to have horse cock I feel like yeah, there's a there's a place in a town called that is very park. They do like a big It's like a big thing for them. They do paranormal tours. Oh, and Not not for me. She found one where it's like you like Have a device. I'm like, oh, dude. I'm not gonna be device I knew people that did that on my college campus. So there was like one building on my college campus that people Claimed was haunted because it was like it was the oldest building on campus and it was but like people lived in it No, so it was used for offices. Okay, but it was the oldest building on campus and Reportedly it was an orphanage before it became a college. It's not good and They would do like they'd call them hunts So they would go in at like midnight and stay there until 3 a.m. And they'd have their Thing they would have the thing that like took a flash picture and like lit up super fuck that. I'm not about it Super fuck that not about it. Yeah, I will say there was one time where I thought I saw someone But like it was during the day. So I was just like it probably was just someone Wait like in the building. Yeah, and no one's in there like it was like there was no one around like it was one of those buildings So we're like if someone was walking by you heard them because it was all old wooden floors and shit like that And it was just like oh What was that? Oh, man, I don't like that because of people because of what the building was and it's it's reputation People just immediately thought like it's a ghost. It's always like orphanages or like an insane Insane asylum. I mean yeah, yeah, yeah, there were a bunch of those that remember it was like a ride a passage We said this not long ago like it was like a thing on Long Island where it was like are you going to The square manner and it was like a old and insane asylum definitely wouldn't do that Well because they are probably used as like Encampment for the unhoused in Minecraft So I want to make sure we're covering all our bases. They are all that was unbelievably Unbelievably safe. I don't want to offend Oh, so there's like a bunch of people like live in there. I believe that's the case So that would be that would explain the that would explain the places if I'm Living in an old Hospital, yeah, and there's kids coming in there and they want to thrill. I'm giving it to hell. Yeah You know like I'll just start whispering around corners and shit like that. Yeah, oh Man, there's one guy on tic-tac who will go into like those areas, but he'll play like Kesha. Yes Oh, I've seen that he's just like showing them timber for the first time Here you're hot, yeah, it's just like all right spirits. This is Kesha timber boom boom. That's it's funny Yeah, no, so yeah, I guess I'm doing a ghost tour and I'm gonna be Are you gonna be like are you gonna fully give yourself into it or are you just gonna be like skeptic just so you don't get scared I'm gonna do it for her and I'm gonna be bought in for me Like I'm gonna be like all right, so this is this is it. So you'll show physically show up for her But mentally show up for yourself because now it's like if I'm showing up then like okay Let's get something out of this gotcha because I can't you know like it'd be good to be like if I come back and be like bro Yeah, I my device was going crazy. There was a picture. I had a spectrometer. Is that what they call it or what's that? I don't even know. I think it was something with an acronym at the EKG. No, definitely not You sure isn't an EKG for your heart. It's for your heart. Ah, yeah What's it called? I mean, I know like the ghost buster stuff. No, I have no idea EMF That's right. Yeah, which stands for it's an electronic magnetic field force.

It's just funny because I'm not gonna As you say like we wanted to talk about certain things and we just didn't no, no, no I don't even remember how we got to the beginning of this, but my science question. Yeah, right are we affecting the Earth's weight Which we are certainly not know is quite heavy. You ever see the thing where it was like NDT said he's like if you took the earth with all its peaks and valleys and everything and you made it into the size of a pool ball It would be smoother than a cue ball Which I struggle I think Maybe NDT's a little bit full of but maybe he's a Maybe he's full of butt. Maybe he doesn't know maybe he's like is anyone actually like confirmed that he's a scientist Yeah His I think is degree and overall he told us about it. Have we seen it? I haven't seen the paper. Have you seen the earth round? Have you seen NDT's degree? He typed in yes, he's a astrophysicist and scientist Well a bachelor of science so technically him and I are started at the same spot. All right. I Think we all do that Well, some people get bachelor's of arts Some of us don't get anything at all But yeah, I guess that is our episode for today interesting one. Hope you guys learned a lot. We sure didn't know yet We were sure told we we eventually got there But we had some questions Is what it is Frank where can I find you? the Frank Alvarez everywhere, looking up science stuff everywhere, they count down to Doomsday, Avengers Doomsday podcast on Disney Plus, and patreon.com/abasementyard and just cut me off.
